BRlGnr PRosPEcrs.-By the 18th Of June,
probably at an earlier day, the Placerville and
Sacramento Valley Railroad will be completed
to Shingle Springs. Its completion to that
point will greatly increase the travel over the
road, and almost give this route q monopoly of
the freighting business to Nevada. We have
every reason to anticipate brisk times in few
weeks. . There are a number of teams already
on the road,and many more are needed to sup
ply the demand. We understand that capital
lists from San Francisco are negotiating for lots
for the erection of large and substantial for.
warding houses, in anticipation of the speedy
completion of the railroad to this city The
construction of the road is being prosecuted
with vigor it is in the hands Of men who have
the means and the ability to build it, and who
see the necessity of pushing it forward with
the greatest dispatch. A bright future opens
for our city. Placerville has unegualed natural
advantages, and for years to come must in
crease in population and wealth. 1t will be
the great center of trade, and our capitalists
and property holders ought to prepare for the
"good time coming" There is wealth in pro-
gress, and to be progressive we must not be
constantly grasping for the almighty dollar,
but, with an energy and liberaity consistent
with the spirit Of the age, spread ourselves and
be able to accommodate all who desire TO trade
with or settle in Placervie. Her course is
onward aud upward. Let none of US throw
any obstacles in the way other progress.

ODD FELLOWS CRLEBRATIoN.-0n Wednes-
day last the Odd Fellows of this eity celebrated
the forty. sixth anniversary oFthe introduction
OF their Order in the United States. The pro-
eeSSlon was not as large as was anticipated, still
1t was respectable in numbers and imposing in
appearances. The day was celebrated at Fair
play by the Odd Fellows of that town and
neighborhood, which kept a large number from
participating with their brothers in this city.
A little aftat1 O'Clock, p. NJ, the procession
was formed in front of Odd Fellows Hail., by
the Chief Marshal, Col. VIM Jones, and, pre-.
ceded by the Pacerville Union Brass Band,

The address was extemporaneous, delivered
in clear tone and listened to with bre athless
attention: The speakers illusions to the Or
der, OF which he is prominent member, were
appropriate, feeling and graceful, and the mem
bers manifested, by their close attention and
pleased looks, that they appreciated his re-
marks. At the conclusion Of the exercises at
the Theatre, the procession reformed in front
of the Theatre, and marched down Main street
to Coloma street, up Coloma street to Mill

not taken alive. If lie had accom?,iccs
he probably would have disclosed the
whole matter. Now, it may be, his Sc

never know the true history Of the horri-
bic crime that has shocked and clothed
in mourning the nation. 1t seems strange
to US, considering the importance to the
country that he should have been taken
alive, that the necessary measures were
not taken to bring about that most desi-
rable contamination of the pursuit. Col.
Baker must have moderated the impor-
tance Of the revelations Booth might have
made, or else he must have been devoid
of cool intrepiiity and tact. The muir
derer has been sent to his final account,
his soul backened with the most damna-
bic sin-he has paid all that could be ex-
acted from him by mortal hands, and been
hurled unshriven into the presence of the
awful Judge; but his crime remains ali
accused blot upon human nature, to be
followed by train of evils that could not
be cxpiated by the death Of million such

FREE LABoR."-A New Orleans cor.
respondent Of the Boston Journal gives
the following view of plantation life, as it
now appears in that neighborhood. 1t is
not fiattering picture of the beneficial
effects Of the free labor system. of which
the Abolitionists have boosted so much.
It's crushing upon the dccrcpit and help
less iemancipated negroes. When this
war for negro freedom is over, it will be
found and confessed that the wishes and
the interests of the negroes forbade its
beginning; that it has entailcd misery up
on them instead OF blessing, and that
their pretended friends-the politicians
who have acquired power and wealth by
bowling for their freedom have been
their worst enemies. IL the statements
Of the Journals correspondent be true,
and he can have no interest in misrepre.
senting facts on this subject, the condi-
ton Of the emancipated negroes in Louis
lana is miserable and pitiablc" indeed
much worse than it was when they were
slaves. 1t is remarkable and significant
statement, coming from :he pen Of an ar
dent advocate of emancipation:
rG.s~'cree labor sounds +etr fine at the
North. Indeed. it is free for thepanieF, tor
il costs him little or nothing for their services,
and BE- finds them with only a little corn meal
only once week. Those that work and those
only, get even this. 80 YOU see that those who
have dune>sixty or eighty wears work,and now
have to hang up the hoe, cannot claim anv
support but are dependent upon those that DO
work. The children have no subsistence from
the planter Two thirds Of them in Louisiana
to-day are in a miserable aud pitiable condition.
They dcplore their situation, and wish them
selves back under their old 'massa' and mis-.
suS.' The planter is relieved ola heavy burden
in not being required To cluthe and feed those
that cannot work-whHcras, before tree labor
came about he was obIiEhed to care for ali

of the most accomplished politicians lv-

lana into the Union, in conformity with
the recot1.L asdation Of the late President.
Wade declared that it would be an insul,
to the other States to admit Senator'S from
Louisiana, "who represented nobody and
nothing" SpraSuc, the mouth-piece of
Chief Justice Chase, opposed it because
twenty-five or thirty members of the
Legislature Of Louisiana were olhcchold-
crs under the Government Of the United
States, or of the State Of Louisiana, which
is the same thing Sumner said this
new State Government was a stupcndous
hoax, and he added: denounce this
pretended State Government Of Louisiana
