THE SPIRIT OF SPECULATIoS.-The spirit of
speculation in stocks, gold, etc, has become SO
prevalent that all classes, conditions, and even
sexes are engaged in the excitement. Tho great

found its equal In Wall street country Is
mourning over the losses Of her thousands Of I'M
returning braves; homes are made desolate, and
vacant chairs are seen ut every hearthstone, but
still the infatuation goes on. Men who make the
loudest pretentiOns to piety, who sign protests
against q lottery for the benefit of the sick and
wounded soldiers invest the last of their capital
on the little joker" under the thmbles of the
stock board. Women too, whose fine and tender
susceptibilities have fitted her not for the busy
marts of trade, have imbibed the same infatua-
ton and are operating through brokers or friends
The speculative feeling stops not here-the most
essential commodities of life have proved tempt
ing bait for those infatuated anglers and they are
blowing over the country, buying up, months
in advance, whole dnries of butter cheese, ETC.,
ut exorbitant rates. The entire community seems
to be under the control of combinations, and we
are told by these mercenary cormorants, that we
lean either pay the prices demanded, or go with.
out A little more abstemOusness on the part
of housekeepers avoiding luxuries, and bent on
killing off this spirit of speculation, will accom-

might be accomplished. If stage prOpriotors raise
their fares, let people walk, and empty vehicles
will soon reduce the fure. If butter, tea sugar,
etc, reach such extravagant prices as to render
them luxuries, then people must deny themselves,
and go without. There il a tension beyond which

things do come woe to those by whom they come!

The Greenback QuestiOn-Reply from
the Pacific Board of Brokers.

The Committee having under considera-

of Brokers report to day the following an
swer {:
GENTLENES-SOur communication of the 2lst
ult having been referred 10 a Committee OF this
Board has received that attention which its i'm
portance required at our hands. The present
arrangement in the monetary affairs of San Fran
cisco. the lack of support which the movement,
and the fact that Your own city, through the in
tiuence of YOUR moneyed men, have refused TO
second your effort, all point to one conclusion,
and that is that the period has not yet arrived tor
inaugurating u new currency-though that cur
rency is the acknowledged one Of all the States
and Territories in the Union. with the exception
Of those on tho Pacific Coast.
It is unnecessary in this brief paper to sum up
the arguments for or against this change The
movement must bdc its time When the armies
of the Republic shall have put down rebellion,
and the Government and people have no longer
need to look to Wall street and anxioUsly scan
the fluctuations in gold then the National cur
rency will assume so secure a basis that il will
doubtless become the great agent for exchange
in every part of the United States. The first
issue of Government paper in the form of bank
notes was received in this city at par. and but
slight discount was made for months after the
commencement of tho rebellion. Let us then
hope that with success TO our arms will come in.

CALIFORNIAN COTTON PLANTATION IN MExI-
Goa number of Californians and other Ameri-
cans have engaged in planting cotton in Sinaloa
and Sonora. The agent of the San Lorenzo Ag-
ricultural and Manufacturing Company, an asso-
citation Incorporated in this city, distributed seven
tons of cotton seed among the natives of those
States 1t is said-whether truly or not we do
not know-that 5000 acres have been planted
north of the Fuerte river. About two dozen
Americans are planting this year in Sinaloa;
among them George Penn johnson and the San
Lorenzo Company. The company plant 1,6OO
acres this year, on a large tract which they have,
1876 miles northward from Mazatlan, and 40 miles
from the port of BOvilar. The company have
sent to Massachusetts for machinery for mill.
There are two mills running in Snaloa, one of
ten looms at Mazatlan, and another of the same
size at Preside. There is one mill with old ma
chinery, not running at Culiacan and another in
Sonora in the same condition. 1t is estimated that
the Weld will be at least 500 pounds to the acre
and as cotton is now worth sixty cents and up
wards-ten times more than before the war,
when the Southern planters made immense
protits-those who manage their affairs well will
no doubt make money. The cotton of North.
western Mexico is equal to the best Mississippi
upland; and the yield is very good in those
places where water can be had for irrigation.
Nearly all the new plantations are well supplied
in that respect The San Lorenzo Company
have the whole San Lorenzo river at their con-
troll A few weeks since forty bales of cotton
from Sonora arrived here, and press has been
sent down to help in packing the crop OF this
wear.

CENTRAL PACIFIC RAILROAD.

EVERYTHING connected with the progress OF
the railroad across the mountains is matter
of interest to the people Of this Territory,
and that progress is appreciated IN proper
ton as it shortens the time consumed IN
travel and transportation. BY reference to
the advertisement in our columns, it will be
seen that the President Of the Central Paci-
tic Railroad Company gives notice that on
and after to-day, the cars will carry freight
and passengers as far as Newcastle; thirty
one miles from Sacramento and three miles
below Auburn, according to the published
statements of the surveys, there are no great
er difficulties in the way Of grading the road
bed to be encountered further in the noun
tains than have been already overcome. For
the last u miles to Newcastle, through a
very rough and hilly country, tie grade is
los feet to the mile. Some Of the cuts
through granite are very deep, and several
cmbankments are from thirty to sixty feet
high. The cost of the road to Newcastle,
according to estimates heretofore published
By the Company, is hard on to million of
dollars, or to state it more exactly, S905,65S.
The remainder ofthe first division of so miles,
according to the same authority, will be
81, 1886, 2SS; making total of 81, 235, 500.
These figures only represent the cost OF
grading, masonry, bridges, ties and track
laying. The cost Of rails, locomotives, cars,
turntables, machinery, etc., was stated to
be ST2l, 900; and of buildings, right of way,
engineering and contingent expenses, $751;
900; making grand total Of 1920, 500 as
the cost of constructing and putting in order
the first 80 miles. The expenses Of the road
as far as completed have all been paid, and
the iron and rolling stock on hand has also
been paid for. We are informed that the
work Of grading the next twenty miles is
under way, and will be vigorously prosecuted.

THE CoPPERHEADS DON'T LIKE HOOKER
Ever since Hooker had the honesty and courage
10 testify TO McClellans imbecility, the Copper
heads have been down upon him The New
York World has been particularly zealous in dis
paraging him. The New York Spirit Of the Times,
alluding to the subject, says We have but one
word of comment on the Worlds abuse of Hooker.
It's motive will be traced to the fact that he testi-
tied that the Peninsular campaign failed through
the incompetency of the Commander.in.chief;' =
yet its statements unwittingly admit that Chan
celorsville was one of the great successes of the
war. II is uudenable that Hooker disgraced Lee
by the strategy which in broad daylight turned
his ''impregnable' position. BY Confederate
counts, he inflicted on the enemy the loss of six
teen thousand men, killed Stonewall Jackson,
(lvho would have made Gettysburg. under Meade,
a sad day for the Republic) and at the end of five
DAYS operations. returned to his camp with the
loss of ten thousand men, and without parting
with a wagon a gun. To this may add the
capture of seven cannon which the World, for
Sedgwick's sake, has multiplied TO ten. Alto
gether. therefore. the World, in the midst of its
disparagement OF Hooker. proves Charlottesville
20 have been an exploit not unworthy of the true
hero of Antietam, Williamsburg, Glendale and
lookout Mountain. Had Sedgwick obeyed or

termination of the war, and proved itself the
most decisive battle Of century, since Waterloo

WHAT THE REBELS THINK OF THEIR NORTH

WHAT THE REBELS THINK OF THEIR NORTH
ERS FRIESDS.-In a recent issue of the Savannah
Republican, we find q rather singular expression
of Southern sentiment in regard to Northern
traitors. With all their zeal in behalf of the Con-
federacy, Horatio Seymour, Governor Bramlette,
and other Northern CopperheadS, fail to satisfy
the expectations oftheir friends. The Republican
says: " II there are two men in all Lincoln's do
minions who deserve universal contempt they are
the Governors of New York and Kentucky.
Seymour went into Office with many furious
threats Of what he intended to do in case
Lincoln should attempt to carry out his tyranncal
and unconstitutional policy within the limits of
New York but no sooner was he seated in the
Gubernatorial chair than he showed the white
feather, and instead OF resisting Lincoln, went to
work to help himi Bramlette wrote Lincoln a
Observation-Disclosures letter, declaring that slaves
should not be enlisted in Kentucky without the
consent Of their owners; but Lincoln went on
with the business and the wretched apology for
a Governor new cools down. and issues a procla-
nation in which he talks about taking the enrol
ling officers before court-martial where heknows
Lincoln will set just the decision he wants.

involving the responsibility of telegraph compa.
MES as common carriers. The plaintiff alleges
that while in Washington, In October, 1863, he
sent dispatch by the American Telegraph Com
pany, to Drexel, Winthrop e. Co., requesting
them to sell what Southern Michigan stock they
had on hand before the Board OF Brokers met,
and 10 buy 500 shares of Hudson River stock ut
the Board The dispatch was transmitted wrong,
however. and instead Of reading Hudson" II
ran hundred" which led Drcxel & Co. TO think
that it was Southern Michigan stock that was
needed, and they purchased five hundred shares
of that stock accordingly. The result was that
tho plaintiff lost 81 ,375 by the error.
Robert Winthrop deposed that he was banker,
doing business at No. 40 Wall street, and in DC
tober 1863, was acting as agent for the plaintiff,
who was then in Washington On the l4th OF
October he received the following dispatch from
the plaintiff through the Independent Telegraph
Company; ,ee,

chased 500 shares of Hudson River ut second

all in consequence of the mistake in the dispatch.
The defense set up was that the defendants were
not common carriers within the meaning of the
law, and that the plaintiff sent the dispatch nj his
