The Central Railroad.

Col. WILSON has completed the Central
Railroad from Lincoln to Bear river, and q
passenger train OF cars has passed over it.
The Marysville Appeal, of Thursday, has the
following:
YuBA Yesterday, our fellow
townsmen, c. B. FOWLER, Agent of the Ore
gou Stage Company, and D. E. ARNOLD.
County Clerk. made visit to Lincoln to view
the Yuba Railroad. They 6nd that the Com
papy have ten miles of the road completed.
which brings the terminus at Bear River; and
in perfect running order from Lincoln to that
point. Yesterday, the first passenger car was
run over it, which conveyed them from Bear
River to Lincoln. Mr.. FOWLER went 10 make
arrangements TO connect the cars with the
Oregon Stage Co.'S coaches, which will be
consummaied. and they will connect at Bear
River 90 the lst of July, bringing Marysville
two and half hours nearer Sacramento than
at present-that is, we will get our mail and
express matter here at 10 o'clock A. NJ. instead
of the present time. MIR. ARNOLD examined
the road on the part of the County of Yuba,
who donate to the Railroad Company the
bonds of the county, 10 conformity of law
passed al the last session OF the Legislature.
And be finds ten miles of the road completed
which entities the Company to thirty thousand
dollars 10 bonds OF the county. The Superin-
teudent, c. L. WILSON. intends to have the
iron horse on the opposite bank of the Yuba
by the middle OF September.
Thus slowly, perhaps, but surely, the iron
track is stretching out its length towards Ore
gon. Every rail put down on this track is
step towards the advancement and prosperity
of Northern California, as there can be no
question among sensible practical men, but
that the Feather River route is The only one
on which a railroad can be built and used
through the mountains, and it must ultimately
be adopted as the route for the great national
highway. Then will Marysville take her
stand as he Queen City of the North. and
the whole of Upper California assume the po-
stion her mineral wealth and natural resources
enti,le her to. Crowd it through.
The WAY Transfers ASSOCIATIONS Do
BusINEss.-lgnorance and prejudice always
combine to oppose improvements, and never
yield to reason. They have to be overcome
by main strength, or. chained to stump left
IN the rear of progress to destroy themselves.
So will it be with these Associations now
springing up in California, and fighting rail
roads and everything that does not meet their
limited views and transact business through
| the medium Of their Association. Altogether
it is the most delightful institution We ever
heard of. As their name indicates they
carry their points by "bruie force" Red
Bluff has one of these delightful institutions
that, like the one in Marysville is threatening,
injuring and trying to destroy every teamster
who does not belong to their gang, and use his
endeavors to keep the State thirty years be-
hind the age. The Association in Marysyille
has we believe contented itself thus far with
threats against the Oroyille teamsters. That
10 Red Bluff has proceeded to violence. The
organ Of the Marysvie Association thus refers
HosTILITIEs CoNMEScED.-The Red Bluff
| teamsters have proceeded to extremes by de
slroying each others harness, removing the
nuts from the wagon Wheels aud taking goods
belonging to shippers from the conveyances
they were assigned to, to Others for which they
were not intended. One DIGGl Es is party
aggrieved.
That is drawing ii as mild as possible, we
suppose, 10 order to shield the Association.
Here is the way the Yreka Unan speaks Of
it:
AT IT AGaIN.-The Red Bluif Transfers
Association have been executing some of their
threats A few days ago they cut the harness
of MIR. DIGGLEs' teams and took the nuts from
his wagon. They have since seized McNULrY's
wagon, loaded with goods for HANDY 4 Co..
took the goods from him and would not give
them mp on the order of the Sheriff. We have
not been spprised of the iual result Red
Bluff reminds us of Egypt, she is dying.
OTHsLLo's occupation is gone. All the prin-
cipal business men of this county have ordered
their goods shipped by way of Crescent City
We chant dirge for Red Bluff
| Does Marysvie resemble Egypt? Is the
railroad chatting the dirge Of all the donkeys
and mules in that city
