INCREASE OF RATS.-The Farmers Ga.
zette (Fnglish) asserts and proves by figures
that one pair of rats will have progeny and
descendants no less than 65l ,05O in three
years. Now, unless this immense family can
be kept down, they would consume more food
than would sustain $4,000 human beings.

TIE SAN FRANCIsco CELEDRATIoN.-The
S. F. CaN, Of Sunday, says of the celebration
in that city on the Alb inst:
We might have had grand celebration
yesterday but we didn't. We might have
had an imposing military spectacle; but we
hadn't. We might have had a respectable
civic celebrations; bu: failed. Why? Not
for the want of patriotsm; not for the want
of men; not for the want of money We
had all these in abundance. 1t only needed a
little common sense little more patriotic
sentiment, a little appreciation Of what was
needed, and what the people desired and an
ticipaled, on the part of the Committee Of
Citizens, to have secured an observance o.
tho day, and a recognition of the great vic
tories and triumphs it was intended we
should rejoice over, such as we might have
been proud of.

CHEATING THE OrHER WAY.-Consiler-
able complaint is made Of Government being
cheated by people giving in a false statement
Of their incomes. A case has come to light
which shows that there has been some cheat
ing tho other way. The Cleveland Plain
dealer mentions the case Of well dressed
young man, Of good manners, who gave in
his income to the assessor at several thou'
sand dollars, paid tho tax, and had the plea
sure of seeing his namo in tho list among
the nabobs Of the country. On the strength
of this, he courted wealthy mans daught-
or, aud married her. Then it was found out
that lie had no money, and sold his mothers
watch to pay the income tax. The Govern
ment made good thing out of it, so did
the young man.

The California and Oregon Railroad.

Some time since the project was started
for the construction Of a railroad from Ma
rysv.Ie to Portland, saws the MarysviIle liz
press. Several meetings were he'd in this
city and means raised for the purpose Of
defaying the expenses Of a sureey Of the
route. Mr.. Elliott,a a competent engineer,
completed the survey, made profles, and
proceeded to Washington, for the purpose
Of laying the matter before Congress, and, if
possible, securing appropriations Of land to
the enterprise. The prospects are that the
requisite aid. will be extended. The San
Francisco alta, in speaking Of the road,
says:
The overland telegraph informs US this
morning that the Lower House Of Congress
has passed the bill to assist in the construc-
ton Of the California and Oregon Railroad
from MarysvilIe to Portland. We have no
particulars Of the assistance, but we presume
it is similar 10 that granted to the Pacific
Railroad: alternate sections Of lands for five
miles on each side Of the route, and bonds
to the amount of $4,000 per mile in the
valley, and 600 per mile in the noun,
tain. This road is necessary to enable the
coast north Of US to enjoy the benefit of the
trans continental road; it is necessary. also,
for local interests. The rugged coast, and
the lack of good harbors conveniently &C
cessible to the interior, between San Fran.
cisco and Puget Sound, renders it necessary
to have railroad as the chief means Of de-
veloping the wealth Of the Klamath, Rogue
River, Umpqua, and Willamette valleys
The California and Oregon Railroad will
prove to be Of great Importance to the Idaho
miners, who are nearer TO Yreka than to
WalluIIa, and would much prefer direct
route to San Francisco, open throughout the
year, to the roundabout Portland route,
which is twice as long, and is often closed
for weeks, if not for months at time, in
the winter. Present appearances indicate
that this Idaho trade will be great and per
manent. 1t is conclusvely settled that the
mines there are worth more than all the
other gold mines on the continent, outside
of California; and they are an important
element in the consideration of the value oi
railroad along the coast.

WooD vs. IRoN.-The substitution Of iron
for wood in the construction of ships is gor
ing forward with such rapid strides in Great
Britain, that in some of the old shipyards a
timber ship is scarcely ever to be seen. 1t
is fact worthy of observation, that on the
Clyde only two wooden ships have been built
within the past year ont of an aggregate of
$40 vessels launched there, or still in process
of construction.

A FUNNY MIsrAKE.-An up country paper
in copying the item from the Democratic,

der after all. Satan had mortgage on the

The abolition fanatics are growing about
California for refusing to contribute men to
the war and declining to take greenbacks as
money. The Cincinnati Commercial says:
"If Californians will neither furnish troops
nor take greenbacks for money, they had
better 60 out OF the Union at once" lhs
sounds very much like the language used
towards the Southern States few years ago
by these same abolition fanatics.

Advertiser, an Administration organ, well
remarks, that the disposition on the part Of

measures an unwise legislation may impose
upon the country is one Of the worst symp
toms Of the times. Il is a temper of mind
that i'll becomes the people Of q republic-
l. is virtual surrender Of ore Of the most
important functions Of self government; its
spirit is olgarchjcal rather than democratic;
and its tendency is to invite Legislative

added with truth, that the loyal press OF the
country have assiduously labored to make
the people believe that "unwise legislation
