watching for an opportunity 'to take q

RECONSIDERATION of, F'reig1t---A
New Plan Suggested. 4,o

In New York, az II recent meeting CT the
Association for the sfdFanosrnent of Science
and An, q Paper was read by the Hon. Jo-'
rerAo She wood on Railroads for carrying
freight to and from the city. Of New York"
Having referred TO the Intellectual efforts
of the Convention held at Chicago and De-
trpit, having in view the lessening Of the
cost Of freight, Mr. Sherwood suggested
what he considered to be simple plan to
remedy: the grievances complained of, meet
the wishes Of the Western people, preserve
New York her position as the depot or
Webtern produce, and lessen materially the
cost of living to the consumer of that pro-
DUDE throughout the entire eastern coun-
fry This PLAN, he stated, was simply the
establishment of double-track railroads, to
be owned by joint stock companies, upon
which there would be a uniform rate Of
travel, cay Of ten miles per hour, or what
ever rate of speed would give to the road
its greatest freight capacity. Upon such q
road he claimed that ave hundred trains
could pass where fifty trains can pass now,
running at unequal rates of speed. A sim
gle road # this kind, he claimed, could do
more carrying to and from the West, than
all the canals, rivers, and railroads upon
travel. Upon thesereads companies owning
cars at the. various cities on theroute should
run their freight to its destination, simply
paying toll for the use of the road. The
lecturer suggested for instance, a line run
ming ON the line of the New York Central
Railroad. At Utica, Syracuse, and other
cities along the route, the people by repre-
sentative companies, would own their own
car these they could switch upon the line
laden with their produce, thus shipping it
through to market. From the construction
| of even a single line of railroad on this
plan, the lecturer. stated it as his opinion
that vast economy would be secured, large
sums passing into the pockets OF the people
by the cheapness Of living, now swallowed
up By the imperfect and confused plan now
in existence for the carrying of food, coal,
and The her n cessaries Of life.

where is it to be found2' asks the reader who has,
perhaps been told by his physician that little good
brandy is serviceabe stmulant, and has sought for
that obsolete article in vain. 1t would be as idle to
expect c1olesoeness and purity among the liquors of
commerce as to look for miracles of pety in the State

KEARsAReE. - Lieutenant Love, who
arrived from Kearsarge last Sunday even
ing, furnishes the following items concern
ing the mines:
Kearsarge. so little known throughout
California, is just emerging into light.
Capt. Paul, who has labored so diligently
against many adverse circumstances has
al last commenced crushing ore from the
Kearsarse District, with what result is not
vet known, as the mill had been running
but two days when I left. We OF kear-
sarge know what the result will be. Some
of the same rock which is now being
worked was crushed at Gold Hill, yield
ing over one thousand dollars per ton, by
the mill process. Three other mills will
o o be in operation, viz: The kearsarge,
Dayton and DORIS mill. When these
mills are in full operation, the shipment Of
bullion from kearsarge will retard the
progress of the wild emigration toward
Montana and set in in the direction of the
more genial climate of Owens River VAL
ley. The progress of the Inyo country
has heretofore been much retarded by the
chimerical tales of hostile Indians. Those
wishing to visit the mines or the farming
region of Owens River need fear no fur
ther molestation from hostile Indians
