CoppERoPoLIs AND STOCKTON RAIL
RoAD.-This railroad route has been sur
veyed, and the following items of interest
are reported in the Independent:
The grade on the first division will be
about six and a half feet per mile; or the
second division, ten and n half feet per
mile; and on the third division, an average
Of forty-four feet per mile. The total
estimated cost Of the road is $l,367, 400,
or $685. 900 per mile. It is assumed that
when completed the road will derive in
come from the following sources First
Transportation of copper ore. Second
Transportation Of merchandise and sup
plies for the southernin mining counties.
neutrality-suspicious. Of freight for the
State Of Nevada, over the Murphy's and
Big Tree route from Copperopolis. Fourth
Way traffic, or transportation Of the
products of the country adjacent to the
road, and supplies for the same. Fifth
Transportation of passengers, mails and
express. From all these sources it is esti-
mated that the income of the road will be
1901, 1856 per annum, which, after deduct
ing $l26,73 for running expenses, would
leave $4,000 as the net earnings, or a
little over % per cent. upon the cost of the
road.

CoPPERHEAD FANDANGo AT
CARSON.

The admirers of Mrs. Surratt had quite
a fandango (they called it a meeting) at
Carson last Saturday night, OIL the heel Of
their Convention. The Appeal of this
morning has a sketch of the show, and
from which we clip the following para
graph:
II. X. Mitchell was the first speaker.
He is the Copperhead candidate for Con-
gross; is very small, very young, and very
red-headed. Seems to be well meaning
enough Boy, but out of place. lie started
off by saying that "the Democratic purity
had brought the country to its present
proud position among the nations of the
earth (which was probably intended as
a joke. He then read a sermon of Henry
Ward Beecher's, which was rather rough
on the Irish, when an enthusiastic gentle
man in the pit moved three cheers for the
Irish and three groans for Bcecher. Four
Of the Unterriied cheered family, one
groaned audibly, and quiet reigned again.
The orator then read an extract from q
paper published in Pennsylvania, upon
reconstruction, counselling moderation on
the part Of the people, until the meeting Of
Congress. But as he had evidently struck
the wrong key, he dropped the subject.
The speaker then argued the negro
suffrage question extensively, and
appeared TO be in great tribulation
lest "Sambo" and "Cuffee" might
really become the equals of Henry X.
Mitchell. Possibly the gentleman has
good grounds for apprehension upon that
point. He is certainly the best judge Of
his own capabilities. He closed with sew
eral magnificent attempts at oratory, but
his perorations wouldn't perorate, and he
left the stage amid a very choice quality
Of applause ; that is, 1 Judge it was choice,
there being 80 little of it. Mr.. Mitchell
appears to be a very inoffensive young
chap, and is perhaps as good a candidate
for the Democracy to set up, to be knock
| ed down by the Union party, as could be
found. Beebe spoke next. This gentle
man is of a pious turn of mind he praised
| God, thanked God, blessed God, and
prayed God. 1t is doubtful whether his
| great love for the Deity is reciprocated.
| Mr.. Beebe, like Mitchell, stands in mortal
fear Of the niger, and undoubtedly with
more cause. He closed with an apostro-
phe to the American flag. "He loved it;
oh! how he loved it, that good old flag"
but at the same time he kept at a respect
full distance from it, as his kind always
should. 4 queer way Beebc has for
showing his love for the flag, since for the
last four years he has supported its enc
mics. At the close of this exhaustive
effort the band, by way of a joke, played
" Rally round the flag, boys" which was
about as appropriate to the speech as a
hornpipe at a funeral, or the dead march
at a wedding.

SILENT.

Quite recently a writ of hGbeas corpus
was issued by Judge Wylie of Washing
ton, commanding the production before
him Of one Samuel H. Burch, "unlaw-
fully arrested and Illegally held" by mill
,nry authority. in the Old Capitol Prison
he "never having been connected with
the land or naval forces" To this writ
the following "highhanded," arbitrary"
"despotic" and usurpationary return was
made:
"ExEcUrIvE MANSION, Sept. l6, '65.
In the case Of Samuel Burch. Charles
Burch, and Orlando Burch, named within,
the execution of the writ Of habeas corpus
is hereby suspended.
ANDREW JOHNSON, President"
A full week passed, and no word Of
alarm, complaint or denunciasion from
any Copperhead paper or speaker through
out the land. Can any one account for
this remarkable silence?
Have not the Copperheads always here
tofore denounced such highland and
illegal usurpasions" as thiss Did they
not "howl" at and about Mr.. Lincoln for
the likea Have they not always howl
ed" heretofore when "citizens horse
thieves or traitors-murderers or rebels
have been subjected to military law and
the habsas corpus suspended: And have
they not been resolving in all their late
Conventions that "the people demand the
subordina,ion of the military to the civil
authority" and the restoration of the
ha6eas corpus and the authority Of the
Courts? Why then is there no howl
about this late use of arbitrary" and
illegal" authority by President Johnson:
Why this silence: Can any one tell /:
Have they, too. become the "minions OF
despotism" and "serfs of power"" Or
is it not another evidence of Coppcrhead
toadyism to Andrew Johnson:

THEArER.-The mclodeon troupe from
Maguire's Opera House performed at the
Gold Hill Theater last night to a full
house, and their performances gave entire
satisfaction. The laughable farce of His
Last Legs" with Harry Cour,aine as DR..
O'Callaghan and Mss Flora Bray as Julia,
was, without exception, the most comical
and side-splitting play ever produced in
the Gold Hill Theatre. 1t will be repeat
ed tonight; and the balance of the large
and talented company will contribute
their share in a large and varied enter
tainment. From Gold Hill the troupe
will 60 to Washoe City, Carson, Dayton,
and other towns. This troupe is no blk.
They give a good square show, and one
that will give satisfaction wherever they
hold forth.

gravel ia applied TO the surface, it will he

pulveriSed it assumes the character of soil
and small seeds in wet weather wiz take

ly cutting a path in the soil aud filing il
with two or three inches of gravel. Weeds
ard grass will more speedily iufest it, and
Tie only way to eet rid of them is by use Of
sharp hoe, gardea rake and heavy roller.
Very durable walks, which will neither

made by mixing coarse gravel or sand with
gas tar. The latter being water proof,
pnch walks are never broken by frosts.
But there ia one serious Inconvenience in
hot weather the odor OF the tar is decided

for years after they arc constructed. A

nest Potatoes ror MARKET.


B. Stephens thus writos to the American
AyricuharisH
: Having been engaged In ceiling potatoes
in New York for the past eighteen years
would etate for the benefit Of farmers, that
in potatoes intended for this market the
following qualities are requisite: Largo

sure to command ready sale aud the high
est prices, aud all not having thia character
will have to be III as second class, or
chipping potatoes" Therefore il 10 folly
for a farmer to usc his ground tor poor
crop, when the same labor anl expense,
with a proper selection OF need, in regard
10 tho requirements Of the market, would
yield q larger crop Of potatoes, which
would meet with ready sale, aud at larger
prices, at no more expense of freight and
