THE TRANs-s1ERRA RAILWAY.

The completion of the railroad to Shin.
gle Springs, eleven miles this side Of La
trobe, will reduce the price Of freight to
our State $40 per ton. The completion
of the same line of road to Placerville
(Which will be accomplished within the
year, will still further reduce freights $5
per ton. Mr.. Latham has been successful
in his applications for English capital,
with which to build the WAshoe Railroad
from Placerville to the State line. He
was encouraged in his endeavors to obtain
the required aid or investment, by the &C.
ton of our Legislature in passing the Ep-
stein resolutions, asking Congress to give
$lO,0O0,O00, in bonds, to the first railroad
that graded and laid a continuous track
from Pacific Underwater to the base Of the
eastern slope of the Sierra Nevada. A
railroad is the article we need. With the
advent of the iron-horse comes amazing
development of our country's resources,
and permanent prosperity to all the in
habitants of what will soon, thereafter, be
the richest State in the Union. Every
mile of rail laid hitherward from Single
Springs or Placerville will be felt in in
creasing ratio of benefit to every citizen in
the State. By or before the 4th OF July,
1867, the cars will be at Strawberry sta
ton "a point which even the Sacramento
Unioa comedies will certainly be reached
by the Washoe company, on account of
valuable granite quarry that "abounds "
in that vicinity! Then daylight ride in
the worst weather in winter will take a
passenger from Virginia City to a COM
Portable car. Up to Strawberry the heavi-
est SHOWS known to fall will not obsTuct
the trains in the least. When the road
shall have been finished to that point, no
doubt the pleasure travel to Lake Tahoe
will alone pay the running expenses for
the summer months. Arrived at that
station, freights-the most important item
to be noted-will not be over II cents per
pound from San Francisco to this place,
in the season of good roads, and very little
over that amount in the winter. BY the
4th of July. 1870, the engine will be among
us, on a way of his own, travelling from
Freeport here; and unto that date the
earnest expectations of the people may
confidently be directed in contemplation
of the event, with all its manifold COM
forfs and hlessinpS Or

FINANCE AND TRADE.

SAN Francisco, May 29-l Pm.
The week opens quietly in trads circles,
the volume of business in general mer-
chandise being, as usual on Mondays,
quite small. The jobbers are doing a
good healthy trade with the Washoe
country, however, since the late fall in
freight, large proportion of the goods
going via Latrobe, from which point 24C
P ID is charged. The supplies Of both
domestic and foreign goods, in first hands,
as a general remark, are light, and with
anything like the usual consumptve de-
mand sellers appear confident in the sta
bility of commercial values, but it is feared
that the seasons demand may fall below
the average in volume, since with extreme
prices ruling, especially for articles Of
prime necessity, consumers must OF ne
cessity, "cut their garments according to
their cloth" In. the DE- .SStc produce
markets there are no new features.
The Mining Share market continues de-
pressed, and the whole list is again lower
to-day. The spirit Of speculation in these
stocks has become so diluted that it pro-
duces no excitement either among brokers
OF their customers. Some of the whilom
favorites are down to very low figures,
and their owners are just now seeing the
elephant; though, unluckily for them, ii
Is rather expensive luxury.
THE elephant" is nothing but "bull
and BEAR" and the managers Of the me-
nagerie are only "soaping" the animals
in order to get the lions share. Time will
prove this.-ED. News.

A MINERS AND CITIZENS MEET
ING TONIGHT.

By reference to a notice in another
column, it will be seen that there is to be
q miners and citizens meeting held this
evening, IN Gold Hill. We do not know
the object exactly, but we suppose it is to
give expression of the feeling Of indigna-
ton entertained BY large class OF this
community at the result of the case Of the
Bullion against the Minerva company.
We confess to an entire ignorance OF the
lawful merits of the case; and hence re-
frain from expressing an opinion as to the
verdict of the jury. The result has been
entirely unexpected by this community
and no legal decision of our Courts has
created so much feeling; at least since we
have resided in Gold Hill. We shall try
and report correctly the proceedings OF
the meeting tonight.

PROSPECTING.

There is considerable amount OF pros
pecting being carried on this present sea-
SON, in our State, despite the hard times
and Indian troubles Several new dis
tricts have been found, and lodges are be-
ing developed in several districts Which
claimed attention last summer. Ihe ex-
traordinary richness Of some OF the newly
discovered lodges, in outside DISTRICTS
cannot fail to induce capital and labor to
engage in their development. The pros
pectors still 90 in search of new ledges'
and still End them. There can be no
longer any doubt Of the richness Of all
sections of our State. Whenever it has
been explored, it has been found to
abound with rich lodes Of ore. Wood is
in most places found in sufficient quanti-
ties to supply the demand for use for some
years to come. The greatest difficulty
which the prospectors and the pioneer
mining companies have to contend with,
is the scarcity Of water, which exists in
almost all the new districts. In almost
all sections, however, where reduction
works are desired, a sufficient supply OF
water can be obtained by sinking artesian
wells. The plan of proceeding has been
adopted with success in the Desert Dis
trict, which is as sterile and arid section
of our State as any which prospectors
have yet attempted to open. That un-
rivaling section, which little more than a
year ago, was known only as desert,
and that the worst on the Overland route
is known to be rich mineral region,
and in short time, few weeks at most,
mill will give life to those solitudes by
working some of the richest ore that has
vet been found in Nevada. The hey-day
of speculative claims in this State has
passed; but claims of real value still
engage the attention of all classes of the
people. The attention which is given to
the newly discovered lodges is not so great
now, perhaps, as it was year ago; but
it is much greater than it was then CON-
pared with the times, The companies on
the principal lodges in new districts have
lived, while the companies on the outside
lodges, or no lodges at all of the older dis
tricts have died. Eastern companies have
come in and bought of prospectors in quite
numerous cases, and are bringing into the
State machinery and capital to work the
mines they have purchased. The pros
pecting of our State to-day is going on
flourishingly. We cannot expect lodges
which were discovered last autumn to be
turning out silver bricks this spring; but
there are many which were discovered
last summer which will be producing
bullion before the snow Of another winter
falls,

MR. L1ScoIS's FANILY.-Mr. Lineoln's
grandfather, also named Abraham Lin
coin, was murdered by an Indian in IVA.
while at work on his farm, near the Ken
lucky river. He left three sons the eldest
of whom, Thomas, was the father of the
President. Thomas married, in 1900,
Nancy Hanks, a native of Virginia, and
settled in Harden county, where the Presi-
dent was born, February II, 1909. In
1916 the family removed to Indiana. The
great-grandfather of the President emil
grated from Berks county, Pennsylvania
to Rockingham county, in the shenan-
doah Valley, Virginia, about 1850.

CORNELIUS CoLE.-This gentleman, late
member of Congress from the Southern
District of California, returned on the last
steamer. Mr.. Cole has made an efficient
Congressman. Entering upon his official
place without any ostentation Of speech,
he thoroughly posted himself as to brother
members and the modes of procuring Con-
gressional action, and became exceedingly
popular for his unobtrusive but always
intelligent conduct. To him the Pacific
States are specially indebted for the final
passage Of the China Steamship Bill, as
well as for the adoption by the House Of
many measures advantageous to us, which
the coming Congress will enact on the
force Of his efforts and argument; tenn
porarily defeated through the jealousy Of
California Senators and the negligence Of
the Oregon Congressional delegation.

The ono Great Act for Immortality,

The ono Great Act for Immortality.
The circle Of War.time year has been COM
pleted. Its record of slaughter and restora-
ton and freedom has been written in blood
and its last sunlight, which left its golden
nipples on the Pacific, was full Of the bright
beams of Hope. In the Joy Of this new era
we are not forgetful that every river from
Saco to the Gulf is a Babel stream, beside
which beautiful and heroic women sit weep
ing. We do not overlook the endless ceme-
teries, with their brief but glorious epitaphS.
We do not lose sight Of the ruins Of cities
and wide trails Of devastation. We are not
blind to the truth that the bloody spectre oil
War may again Aaunt his banner Of death in
our warmest skies. But all has been done
and suffered in the name Of Freedom and
though the sacrifice has been stupendous and
appalling, the divinity il glorious and august,

word and performed no other act in behalf OF

enough to give him Immortality among the

not In behalf Of a superior race, but for the
redemption Of Door, despiSed and heart

THE ASSASSINATION AT AMERI.
CAN FLAT.

From Mr.. Stevens, the owner of the
ranch on American Flat, where the late
bloody affair took place, We learn more
particulars of the assassination. The first
quarrel occurred between the two men
about the middle of last week, and
on Saturday, Elgin used the language
" that Booth did an honorable act
when he assassinated Lincoln" On
Sunday, Stevens had some invited friends
to dinner, and among them was McNair,
who, during another controversy with
Elgin. accused him of having said what
he did the day before. Elgin admitted
that he made the remark, and expressed
that he had no desire to retract it. Mr..
Stevens says that he was much surprised
to know that he held such sentiments, and
told him at once to leave-that no traitor
could work for him. McNair told him
also to leave the country in forty-eight
hours or he would thrash HIM and turn
him over to the Provost Guard. The
assassin, the next day, without the knowl-
edge of Stevens, borrowed double-bar-
relied shotgun of mar named Guion,
who also worked for Stevens on the ranch,
for the avowed purpose of shooting Nc
Nair if he ever troubled him again. He
loaded 1t heavily and took it to the potato
field, where he and Guion worked, and hid
it in the vines, waiting for his victim to
pass along the road near by on his way
from work. About o'clock on Monday
evening, McNair came along, and seeing
the admirer Of Booth near the road,
jumped the fence and started for him.
Elgin seized the shotgun and discharged
it at him, when he was about eleven feet
distant, wounding him fearfully in the
groin. He was alive last night, but can
not possibly recover. Elgin has not yet
been apprehended, but officers are on his
track. When the knowledge of the i'm
plication of Guion came to the knowledge
Of Stevens, he gave that individual sound
drubbing, since which, he has not been
seen. 1t appears from the statements to
US of Mr.. Stevens, that Guion was nearly
as guilty as Elgin himself. He is said to
have been notorious Copperhead, and
was, it seems, fully acquainted with the
acts and intentions of the former, and
assisted him so tar as he could by lending
him his gun. The people of the Flat are
greatly excited over the matter, and strick
search is being made for Guion as well as
for Elgin. Mr.. Stevens is Union man
and is deeply affected by the fate Of Nc
Nair who was his intimate friend.
