dispatches, but whether true or not we are

That the Government would interfere. to
prevent the organization of an army upon
the territory Of The United States, for the in.
vasion Of friendly power, is nothing more
than all should have f,reseen. To have
tailed in doing so, would have placed the
country in position Of hostility to Great
Britain, that would have led directly to war:
and however much individual opinion NAV
have favored such result, yet all will ad-
NIT that the course of the Government was
plain, either to prevent the infraction of the
neutrality laws, or accept war as the princi
pal in the fight.

NEEDLESS ALARM-Many Of the settlers
along the line of the Western Pacific Rail.
road. within the Congressional grant to the
Pacific Railroad, are fearful that that Cons
psny will obtain the title to their possessions,
and impose exacting terms upon them. The
Company has given public notice that, un-
less persons upon the odd.sectiops, claiming
priority of purchase Of said lands, by reason
of settlement and improvement, establish
such right of priority, on or before the loh
of July, their claims will not be recognized.
This lools as if the Western Pacific Compa
ny was eudeavorng to play sharp practice
upon the settlers, and it is surprising the
newspapers Of that section of the State fail
to inform the people of their rights in the
premises. The question is very simple.
That portion of the Western Pacific Rail
road now being constructed, is through
country wholly agricultural. All settlers
along the line, upon the odd sections. who
were settled thereon prior to the 18th of
September, 1862, are entitled to pre.empt
the same, in the United States Land Office
of the District, at 81 25 per acre. To such
lands the Company cannot establish the
shadow of a claim. Settlers upon the even
sections, within the railroad grant, who
have settled thereon, before the date above
named, have also the right to pre,empt, un-
der the Government, at the same ice per
acre. Settlers upon the even sections of
such lands, who have located upon them
since September 18th, 1862, can pre- etnpt
them at 50 so per acre; and settlers on the
odd sections since that date can obtain title
only through the Railroad Company. Con.
cisely, these are the facts, as several deci.
of the General Land Office clearly show; and
cons qaently the uneasiness and alarm felt,
on account of the high tone of the Railroad
Company, is wholly groundless.
Let every man who has settled on odd Sec
tions Of land along the line of the Western
Pacific Railroad, since the 18th of Septem.
Der, 1862, Immediately proceed to pro
curement Of title from the Company. All
Others may snap their fingers at the preten'
sions of the railroad men.

The CAUsE.-We learn that a large
amount of Eastern capital has been sent to
Reese River for the development of the
mines, but has mostly been expended to poor
advantage. Instead of opening the mines
the money was used in building fine mills,
and when the costly structures were compIe-
they bad no means to supply them with ore
This injudicious expenditure of money in the
erection of mills, instead of developing
mines, has been serious drawback 70 the
prosperity of Central Nevada. This opin.

New 1owNs.--A number Of new towns
have been laid out in Meadow Lake town
ship, some Of which bid fair to become lively
little places during the Summer saws the
Gazette. The town Of Baltimore situated
three miles this side Of Meadow Lake, on the
Bear Valley road, was laid out last Fall, and
three or four houses erected and occupied
during the Winter. In the immediate .icin
iiy of the town are five or six promising
lodges which will be opened this season,
and we are Informed that fortv.five town lets
were sold last week at fifty dollars each.--
Several business houses will be erected in the
place as soon as lumber can be procured.
Peacock, late of Downieve we believe, has
purchased a number of lots, and is preparing
to put up large store, having confidence in
the permanency Of the mines in that vcni-
ty. Another town has been laid out this
Spring at the foot of Old Man Mountain, and
near the Grant, Mammoth. Murche and
other noted lodges. People are locating in
the town, aud Rice formerly af Gold Run, is
erectiuU a larpe hotel! Quite little town
ed Enterprise City, six miles from Meadow
Lake. and the town Of Mendoza is situated
in beautiful valley about mile from En-
terprise. At Mendoza and the new town Of
Old Man Mountain, the snow has quite dis
appeared. Meadow Lake, however, will re-
tain {the lead, and Twill doubtless always
remain the business center of he township.
