WELL SAID.-The New York CONNER.
cial Advertiser, an Administration organ,
we'll remarks, that the disposition on the
part Of the people ito accept implicitly
whatever measures an unwise Legislation
may impose upon the country is one of the
worst symptoms of the times. 1t is a
temper of mind that i'll becomes the pco-
pie of republic. 1t is virtual surrender
of one of the most important functions Of
sclf-government; its spirit is oligarchical
rather than democratic; and its tendency
is to invite legislative encroachment upon
the liberties of the people" And the
Commercial might have added with truth,
that the "loyal" press of the country
have assidiously labored to make the peo-
pie believe that "unwise legislation
would bring the South back to the Union.

REDUCTION OF SALARY.--The Supervisors
have reduced the salary of the County Super.
intendent Of Public Schools to seventy five
dollars per month, for the months of February
and March. This reduction may be proper
but we can't see it. 1t makes the Superin
tendents salary fifty dollars per month less
than that of any deputy county officer in the
county, it is inadequate, and has tendency tc
bring the cause Of education into contempt.
We will not charge the Supervisors with enmi

action IN this matter is calculated to have
bad effect upon the cause of education.

Tr.-Speaker Charley Tozer of the Nevada
Legislature is the champion of the Dutch Flat
humbug. Charley has passion for humbugs
aud always gives them his cordial endorsement
On the 5th instant he made rip-snorting
speech in opposition to Mr.. Epstein's railroad
resolutions, and at the close of his splendid

WHAT THEY WILL Nor Do.--The
Washington correspondent Of the Port.
land (Maine) Advertiser, says the Confed-
crates unquestionably intend to invade
the North, but not at present. The lack
Of men alone delays the Invasion. There
is little probability of their doing any
thing of the kind. We have the aSsur.
ances Of Grant, Butler, Stanton and Sc.
ward, that the "Confederacy is cxhaus-
ted" and we have implicit faith in their
assurances. Stewards ninety days predic.
ton, Grants Fighting it out on this line
if it takes all summer, Buffers Dutch
Gap Canal, and Stanton's war bulletins
satisfy US of their nfallibiiity. To doubt
their word is treason--to deny it impiety.
As for subsistence and clothing the cor
respondent says they will find plenty on
their way and he adds:
"In helping themselves to these things they
would do no more than Sherman's soldiers did
i'll Georgia. But there are some things they
would not do. They would not take tie last
loaf of bread from widow and her children
They would not roast sheep and lambs with
wood made by splitting up pianos. They would
not hang up by the neck a venerable Judge,
till he was nearly dead. in order to compel him
to disclose the place where he had conce, led
$4,000 in gold coin. They would not strip
young ladies naked and compel them in that
condition, to play on the piano for their amuse.

DANGERors.-A Virginia City paper says
the snow slides on the Dutch Flat rontc are so
frequent numerous and dangerous, that truv ell
has almost ceased on it. Few are courageous
enough to risk their lives in verturiug upon it,
Nearly every day slide occurs, but the fact is
suppressed by the railroad company; and the
last one would not have been mentioned at all
had not two men lost their lives in it. For
several days last week the road was blocked
up with snow, from six to thirty feet deep, and
the stages "failed to connect" The advocates
of the Dutch Flat route, for prudential reasons,
neglected to notify the public of this damaging
fact; aud travellers who were induced to take
that route, believing it to be open, were snow.
bound and detained several days It's a mag.
niicent route for snow slides, but not for travel
or railroad purposes.

tuFe, thusthoroughlY riddles the Dutch Flat
humbug: "Mr. Judah became convinced the
route wa hopeless one, and on his return
from Washington, after the franchise was grant
cd, urged the advisability of not fixing the
route Of the Road until he or the Company
could examine other routes and he opposed
the location as it now exists. The fixing the
route of the Road where it is was the cause of
his leaving the service of the Company for
when be went to New York the last time, he
had left the service of the Company, and never
intended to re-enter it. They gave him Sl0O,-
900 Of their first mortgage Bonds (which be
left in bis willy, in order that he should not
state what his examinations led him to know
was the fact that the Dutch Flat Route was
hopeless one" Here we have the positive ev-
idencs of the Civil Engineer of the Central
Pacific Railroad Company, that "the Dutch
Flat route is hopeless one" he opposed its
location on that route on account of its imprac.
ticability and when be was overruled be left
the service Of the Company, and received one
hundred thousand dollars of their mortgage
bonds to not expose the humbug!

MEsrAKEN.-Speaker Tozer, in his speech
before the Nevada Legislature, on the railroad
resolutions, remarked, that "the enemies of
the Pacific Railroad made prediction that the
first snow storm would close up the Dutch
Flat route, but, equally to their establishment
and chagrin, they find that after the heaviest
snow-storm Of the season passengers by that
route arrive in San Francisco twenty four
hours sooner than BY the Placerville." Not
correct, Mr. Speaker, and we will not insult
your intelligence by intmaling that you were
ignorant Of the fact 1.-THE first snow storm"
did close up the Dutch Flat route eight DAYS.
and you must be aware of it, for the fact was
published at the time. Never, in q single in.
stance, have messengers BY that route arrived
10 San Francisco tweuty-four hours sooner
than by the Placervilie." In numerous in.
stances, to the "chagrin" but not establishment
OF the ''enemes of the" Pacervle route, have
passengers by the Pacerville route arrived In
San Francisco twenty four and forty-eight
hours, and in several Instances five DAYS. soon.
er than by the Dutch Flat route. Inform your.
SELF Mr. Speaker, before you make another
speech on the subject.or you will be the laugh
ing stock of your State. Such wild and
groundless assertions only expose you to ridi.
cuIe and exhibit your ignorance.

THE THREE SAND RocKs.-1n boring
for a well, no man expects to find oil until
he has reached and passed through q viii
fish sand rock, lying at depths varying
from seventy-fve TO two hundred and
seventy-fve feet in the valleys. This is
called, by way of distinction, the &" first
sand rock" although the borer may have
passed through dozen different sand
rocks, alternating with shales, before hav-
ing reached the "sand rock" Very gen.
orally, well. stopped after having pen
etrated this rock, yields heavy, thick oil,
considered specially valuable for lubrica-
ting purposes, and commanding nearly
double the market value of the light oils.
From one hundred to two hundred feet
below this lies another, very similar, and
called the " second sand rock" Having
penetrated through this, the borer is
usually rewarded with another "show OF
OIL" This, too, is very heavy oil, though
not commonly 80 heavy as the former.
From this rock is produced nearly all the
wells along the Allegheny river, while the
wells on French creek are nearly all COM
pleted in the first sand rock" But, to
reach the great oil fountains, the drill
must make another plunge Of from one
hundred to two hundred feet when a
third sand rock" is reached. From
beneath this rock out gushes the pure.
Iimpid, light oil. Here, too, are reached
most, not all. the great "howing," or
rather spouting, wells some Of them hav-
ing deluged the land at first with three
thousand barrels per day-the Empire
WE'LL" for instance. The wells of Oil
creek are mostly in this rock.

,,rpnzn OF THE PREsIpRNT.


We regard the assassination OF the
President as the most stupndous ofenSs
tina. has ever been committed againit the
race. It is the nature Of our institutions
which invests the crime with such peculiar
enormity. They are free, and the Pres'-
den, becomes, by his election, their imper-
sonation, and stands the symbol of the
sovereignty of freemen. It must be &C.
knowledsed, with grief unuttsrahle, that
such crime has found a perpetrator in
our beloved country! It would have
been more consolatory that the acting of
such a drama had found an audience
under form Of Government whose OPP
pressive tyranny would have given some
pretext for Kidding q suffering nation of
the CALLING chains of long-sufered despot-
ism. But here it becomes difficult to
realise the fAct which has become now
part of the history of the past. Our
Government was in all things benignant,
tender Of the rights Of the humblest of her
citizens, and never asserting her power
except to defend and protect. That the
chosen head of such q Government should
fall BY such means is indeed almost a
miracle. It would indeed be so; but
when we consider the malicious, unrelent.
ing hate Of the rebels against him who
had almost brought the war to success
full close, it is not to be wondered at that
q wretch would be found ready to slay
him, and others to assist in the paralyIa-
ton of the arm of the Government by the
murder of his principal advisers. AL has
arisen from dissemination of the rebels
to succeed by any means. As they had
been Overwhelmingly defeated in battle,
the only remaining resource was the muir
der Of the COMMANDMENT Chief and as
many of his Cabinet as possible. We be-
lieve that God will bring all to justice
who have been concerned in this great
national crime. We pray that such may
be 50, and after that prompt punishment
may follow.

A ROTTEN HEART AND A ROTTEN LEO.
A late telegram from Washington states
that the surgeons who held a post-mortem
on the body of Booth, say modification of
the lrg had commenced, and it was the
opinion of the Surgeon-General that he
could not have lived many days longer in
any event. A good deal Of talk is going
on, and many surmises, as to what was
done with the sssassin's rotten carcass.
We don't know-and care less but it is
our opinion that some resurrecdonist dug
it up, and the CHASTITY skeleton will be
hung up in some college among the de-
tested bones Of other assassins, murderers
and traitors. 1t is the only fit place for it.
Mother earth is too good to hide so hid
eous an object in.

SHERMAN.

It will be seen by to.day's telegram that
the negotiations for the surrender Of Johns
toms armies were conducted by General
Sherman /; and that Johnston had no init
nation Of Grants presence until the whole
affair had been concluded. This leads US
to the satisfactory conclusion that Sher-
mans "blunder was not regarded in
heinous Light, and that no disgrace will
fall upon the brave soldier whose proves
has excited the wonder and admiration Of
the Old and New Worlds. Sherman had
made for himself place in the hearts of
the American people; and for him to have
forfeited by single error the glory and
honor so hardly earned during four years
of successful warfare, would have been a
source Of the most profound regret
throughout the nation. The fact that he
was not only retained in command Of his
armies, but allowed to conduct the details
Of the final surrender Of the armies which
ne had 20 bravely and Skilfully democrat
lied, satisfies US that he has lost nothing
in the esteem Of the Government and that
all Is yet well with Sherman. We be-
lieve that our satisfaction upon this point
is shared by every loyal citizen. ..
