THE PACIFIC RAILRoAD.-Thls is one of the
most important questions now NJ issue before our
people. The upbuilding of our State the devel.
opment Gifts resources; the outlet for its produc
tons; the means to secure a large immigration;
tue impetus needed for our mechanics and manu-.
facturers, our farmers, and laboring men of every
class-these are all merged in this very question
Shall we or shall we not have a Pacific Railroad
More than this, the nation has pledged its faith
and means to aid 1t, our State has offered boun-
ty 1t, counties and cities have given the pledge
of bonds to build and It will be built. 1t may be
hindered, aye, seriously hindered by the delay OF
some counties in the fulfillment of their pledge
Shall the metropolis Of our State, shall San Fran
cisco county, by her voice. delay this great work.
We trust not San Francisco will be the greatest
beneficiary in this work, and 1t would be suici.
dial policy for her to retard this work. Surely,
when serious reflection comes, she can no longer
delay to respond to the vote of her people. II
those who hold the power prevent the will of the
people who voted this aid then the people must
speak out in a voice not TO be misunderstood, for
the people all over the State have said the Pacific
Railroad shall be built, and 1t will be accom-.
piished-Caiiforaia FaTzacr.

VIRGINIA AND DAYTON RAILRoAD.-This bill
has passed the House, and is now before the
Council, and we trust will meet with no opposi.
ton in that body. In the House 1t was referred
to the joint delegations of Storey, Lyon, and
Churchill counties, and with one or two slight
amendments reported buck favorably. But one
member of that committee objected TO the bill
and he, we learn, was the intrOducer Of the de-
fun. grid.irun" railroad bill. The press Of
Virginia. without IN exception, have favored Its
passage. while condemning all other franchises
of similar mature wherein the city Of Virginia
was Interested The character of the gen
tlemen who apply for this franchise is sufficient
guarantee that the road will be speedily complet
ed and when il Is, the benefits to be derived from
IL by Virginia and Gold Hill nrc beyond computiou
This bill is not oniy of vital Importance to these
two places but indirectly liz of vast interest TO the
whole Territory, and in this respect assumes the
form of hill Of q public nature In behalf o.
the interests of the people we hope the Council
will take speedy action in the matter and pass the

GREAT STORM OF WIND AT san Francisco.
The uorther which commenced blowing ut San
Francisco on the evening of the 10th inst, increas-
cd in violence toward night The steamer New
World was unable TO make her usual landing
north side the wharf, and was nearly one hour
and a half before landing passengers south side
OF the wharf To-day there has been great con-
fusion in the harbor. The steamer Moses Taylor,
which had been ordered or from Mission street
wharf until after ilischarging the large shipment
of gunpOwder, dragged her anchors, colliled with
the wharf and carried away a large portion OF
her after hurricane deck, with other damages.
This afternoon the steamship Golden Age, lying
in the stream dragged anchors and got foul of the
steamship Sierra Nevada, which was mOOred of
Fulsom wharf Both steamers sustained cOnsid-
cradle damage to their upper works. The Sierra
Nevada lost her bowsprit. She had steam up,
and the powerful tug GOliah was at hand to aid
the Golden Age; otherwise an immense destruc-
zion of property would have occurred, as three
other steamships were at Folsom wharf The
Constitution was not injured The Aquila was
all right at shutdown and seemingly in no danger,
though the sea was breaking over her and no
work could be done. The schooner Rosita, OF
Sacramento, was lying close in shore. north OF
Vallejo street wharf, in great peril. Three men
in small boats succeeded in getting her line from
the kedge anchor, and if she can haul off before
the tide Gibbs she vii. be all right otherwise she
will be lost, as there is large steam boiler sunk
under her. The Sophie Hagar. a large brick.
laden schooner is in peril the same place.
Another portion of Vallejo street wharf carried
away The recent tiingin of earth on the line
of Vallejo street, below Front, washed away
The sea Is terrific in the neighbOrhooI of North
Point, and several small boats were swamped
loss of life vet reported. The gale seems to be
moderating slightly.

RICHMOND PANIC.

The people of Richmond, notwithstanding
their great talk of security, are subject to
more panics than Washington has been IN
fear of the approach OF the enemy. The cry
of "the Yankees are coming" frequently re-
sounds through the city and turns out the
women, the children and the undetermined
..home guard" 1t is undoubtedly true that
the impregnabilisy Of Richmond has been
strategic statement rather than a stated fact.
We arc of the opinion, that since the famous
retreat of McClellan's army (the Generals
report of which will occupy three or four vol
umes of thousand pages each) from the
Chickahominy and the James, Richmond has
been defended mainly by the maintenance at
the North of false idea Of the strength Of
rs Notifications and the number and spirit OF
the troops retained within its walls. And we
are of the opinion that the rebel army OF the
Potomac has been many times placed in atti-
tudes of menace toward Washington for the
purpose only of fooling the Federal capital
in regard to the strength of the rebel capital
This opinion is sustained chiefly BY the fact,
that while the rebel and the Federal
armies have been manuvering in the pres
ence of each other in the Potomac region
and in the Mississippi region. Richmond
has been aroused to overwhelming fear by the
announcements of the approach Of Federal
cavaIry-comparatively small bodies OF dash
ing raiders. These raids have demonstrated
or ought how to demonstrate the feasibility
of taking Richmond by bold and sudden
movement from some quarter where such an
enterprise would be the least expected. The
late news from Fortress Monroe recounts the
daring exploit of General Wistar's cavalry,
supported BY body of negro infantry, with
. view to the surprise of Richmond and the
liberation of the multitude of our suffering
prisoners. The force reached Bottoms
Bridge, ten miles from Richmond. The in
telligence of the approach was basely con-
conveyed to Richmond BY deserter, and
through his treachery a plan which, in all
probability, would have given US Richmond
and made the Federal commanding officer
the greatest hero of the times, was-but only
temporarily, we unprecedented. Richmond
can be taken without the great army Of the
Potomac, and it may be quite soon.

THE ALABAMA WORKING TOWARD US
The pirate Alabama has got so far around the
globe that news of her ravages reaches US now
quicker from the West than from the East. The
Wild Pigeon, which arrived from Hongkong last
evening reports that the ship Contest has fallen q
victim TO the pirates. The Contest belonged to
A A. Low & Brothers of New York, and was
q days out from Yokohama, on her way to New
York with a full cargo, when on the llth of No
vember the Alabama captured and burned her
Her officers and crew were transferred-destl
tute of everything-to an English ship, to be left
at Batavia II is pleasant to learn that the pi-
rates got nothing by the seizure. The ship was
worth some $6OOO0-that was destroyed Her
cargo consisted exclusively of rags, worth at
the North $4,000 but Of which, In the shape
of clothing for their soldiers and money,
the Confedcracy has more than 1t wants
already. But this appearance of the
Alabama to the west of us is another war;
ing to the guardians of our port to be ready. We
are told that in the latter part of November the
Alabama was seen entering the harbor OF singa-
pore A letter to gentleman in this city from
Hongkong, dated December 18th, written by q
passenger from this port by the ship Helos, says,
s'Thc only occurrence Of note on our passage
was the speaking of the British bark Stanton,
who reported the Alabama as being on the coast,
and the destruction of two vessels, the Winged
Racer and the Amanda, both with cargoes, and
since then she has destroyed the Contest on the
way from Manila TO New York" This confirms
news received previously by the way Of New
York as to the destruction of the Winged Racer
and Amanda Is there no hope that this robber
of the seas may be taken some day and punished
for her crimesf Have we any swift yessclsin the
East indies whom she will at all respecti 1t
seems really strange that the United, with all
her power and unbounded resources, cannot
crush out the little handful of pirates who scour
the yeas and light their path with the burning of
American merchantmen.- s. +. BEtletia.

A Confession OF Observation-Disclosures
of fault is eommendable performance when
it does not prepare room for new decisions.
The New York Tribune says it would be a
gross error to assume that Traitor Davis and
his co-conspirators do not intend to fight out
their insane contest to the last. The contra
~ opinion was one of the fatal decisions en-
tertained in the early stages of the struggle,
by some of those who gave shape to the poll
cy Of the Federal Government. The Tribune
was further under that delusion than any one
else, and then gave the most shape to the
policy of the Federal Government. The ia
tally of the error did not kill the Tiibsuae,
but it so palsied and confused it that ever
since the stroke it has scarce trusted itself to
shape definite policy of its own.
