THE CENTRAL PACIFIC CO.

Our structures upon the conduct of the
affairs Of the Central Pacific Railroad,
have produced the desired effect of stirring
up that corporationto knowledge of the
fact that the people of Nevada are neither
asleep nor disposed to be trifed with upon
the important subject of the Pacific Rail
road. The Dutch Flat route has always
been fayorite one with us, because we
believe it to be by far the best, il not the
only practicable route. While conduct
ing newspaper in Placer county, we ex-
erted ourselves strongly in favor of the
issuance of the S250.OOO of the bonds of
that county, and assisted in carrying that
measure in spite of the opposition of the
balance of the press of that county. Ever
since that time, when it has been in our
power, we have spoken in favor of the Ell
terprise, and opposed what we considered
an unjusti6able opposition by portion OF
the California press. The inadequate
force which the Directors have kept at
work on the line, the slow rate of progress
of the work, and the apparent dependence
which the managers seemed to place upon
county and State donations which formed
no part of the originally expressed plans
of the company, constituted altogether q
failure to meet the expectations of the peo-
pie, and in a measure believe the profes-
sions and promises which we had volun-
teered in behalf of the company. Al the
risk, therefore, of being classed among
"a tie enemies of the Pacific Railroad" We
saw fit to censure the Directors for theil
shortcomings. In doing so, we expected
nothing else than to provoke, in degree,
the hostility of the company and its in.
terested friends. We believed, however,
and the result has verified our predictions,
that a stirring up of the matter would
have the effect of melting opposition and
bestirring the company to greater activity,
As we have again and again reiterated,
the people of both California and Nevada
demand railroad across the mountains ;
and if they cannot have comparatively
easy one ria Dutch Flat, they must have
difficult one ria Placerville. Our arti-
cles on the subject have produced some
excitement among the friends Of the Cen
tral Company, and among Others has
elected the communication which will be
found elsewhere in or paper to-day.
That communication is written by an in
terested party, and contains several mis-
statements which we cannot suffer to pass
upeontadicted but the writer is one who
is in possession of all the facts connected
with the building OF the road, and we give
place to his letter, as We shall freely do to
any other bearing upon this most impor-
tant subject.

The MEXICAN ENrPIRE.-Advices from
Mexico continue to give most gloomy ac-
counts Of the condition of the country I'M
der the Imperial regime. The new En-
peror is growing more and more unpopu-
lar every day, and the new Empire is al
ready a conceded failure. The clergy are
disaffected, the recreant " MOBILES" are re-
penting of their treachery TO the national
cause, the common people are morose and
mutinouS. Commerce is stagnant; Indus
try is paralyzed; Agriculture languishes
by reason OF continued warfare and
universal brigandage; while murder
and robbery stalk through the land with
the assurance which IMMUNITY gives to
crime. The country has long been bank
ruPt; there is every prospect that famine
viii be added to the horrors to which it is
a prey. The Republic was bad enough;
but the Empire promises to be worse, for
It has all the vicious elements without the
sinewy vigor of healthy despotism.

Who WoULD'NT BE An EDTroR Yes,
who worid'nt: The rough edges of edi-
torial life are occasionally rubbed of by
considerable friends, who hit US "where we
live" These complimentary demonstra-
tons were commenced by Bill Stewart
sending US basket Of genuine Heidseick
champagne, on the 18th inst, in order TO
remind US that he was q L, S. Senator.
Since then, sundry Christmas and New
Years presents have found their way to
our sanctum. A splendid Tahoe trout
was sent to US yesterday by Messrs. Mo-
nsco & Toubles, next door to Judge Hail.
Office; and this morning Hayes s Co., Of
the ST. Charles market, Gold Hill, sent US
several splendid cuts Of the New Years
Show Beef from the bullock which
weighed 1870 pounds. We have tried
the quality Of this beef, and find it most
delicious and roast from it for New
Years dinner will be found the Every
thing" to commence the New Year on.
Home, sweet home" is ali very nice in
poetry, but he or she who misses a slice
of this snow beef Tomorrow, will GER
tainly miss treat.
P.S. Since the above was in type, the
firm of Korn Brothers. Gold Hill, also
sent us New Years present from their
extensive stock OF Wines, Jellies, etc.

THE LEGISLATURE.

The solons at the seat Of Government
are moving along, and if we may judge by
the number of notices of the introduction
of bills, and bills already introduced in
both branches of the Legislature. the men,
bers "mean business" So far as we
observed the Senators aud Assemblymen
Cand We have been at Carson most of the
time since they eonvened), it seems quite
evident that in the selection of legislators,
the people have evinced wise discrimi-
nation in their choice. Many of the mem
bers have had considerable legislative ex-
perience, and are turning that experience
to good account; while these of less ex-
perience are very ready in understanding
the "aOdts operandi of law-making. There
is great deal of heavy work before our
legislators, in laying the ioundation-stone
of the new State,

STATE PRINTER.

The bill creating the Office of State
Printer, prescribing his duties, and pro-
viding for his compensation, after good
deal of procrastinatiOn, finally passed the
Senate on Thursday, and We expect passed
the Assembly to-day. The Act will have
to be enrolled, passed over to the Gov
ernor for his approval, and returned 10
both Houses, when, by concurrent resolu-
ton the Legislature, viii convene in joint
assembly and go into an election for a
State Printer, This action will perhaps
be had on next Tues6cv or Wednesday.
There are not less than six candidates in
the field.

on our coast. The ocean in front of Georgia
will be exposed like the ocean in front of
North Carolina and Virginia, to a species Of
hostility that will annoy without strengthen
ing the foe. 1t is probable, however, that a
formidable attempt on Charleston will be an
early consequence Of the fall Of Savannah.

mile of Coosawaehie, point on the rail-
road between Charleston and Savannah, forty
three miles from the latter city and sixty-one
