THE RoUTE.-The Sacramento Onion advocates
the building OF railroad from Sacramento to Be-
nicia and Goat Island-the last named point to be
the depot of the Pacific Railroad. In its comments
upon the subject of railroads, the Union says:
AS general rule, trade and travel follow the
shortest and most direct routes"
If such be the case, we would ask the Union
what would become of Sacramento and its Dutch
lat route. if railroad built connecting Ma.
rysville with Vallejo. and another (Which will be)
from Oroville up Feather river. through Beck
wourths Pass, to connect with the Pacific Railroad
at Truchee Meadows! Would it not leave Sacra
mento in the lurch, and is not that the main
why the Beckwourth Pass route has always been
ignored by the friends Of Sacramento, and its Lad
der railroad route Quincy Union.

EDITOR BUTTE REcoRD:-As you have no regular
correspondent here, though that perhaps few
lines from the Metropolis of Lassen might be ac-
ceptable. A heavy storm has been raging here for
the past week; but | am informed hat it has not
extended but about twenty miles to the eastward.
Several teams have arrived from Black Rock this
week and report the travelling good
This has been a bad storm for the mail carriers
Both our mails, viz: The Oroville, Woods line
and the Chico, arrived this evening, and from the
reports of the mail carriers we can form some idea
of the respective routes The mail by Woods
Oroviile line, came through all the way on horse
back. And the Chico mail was packed on snow
shoes to Dyes" which is on this side of the sum
nit Your readers can draw their own conclusions
of the two routes. This is good time to Judge as
this has been the worst storm We have had in the
mountains for several years. The people are al
ways sure of the mail By Woods line, no matter
what the weather is.
The news from Black Rock is very encouraging,
and we will send you plenty of silver bricks before
long. Yours, &C., RUBY.

THE RAIN.

o, the rain, the beautiful rain
Cheerily. merrily falls:
Beating its wings 'gainst the window pane,
Triekling down the walls;
Over the meadow with pattering feet,
Kissing the clover-blossoms sweet,
Singing the blue, bells fast asleep.
Making the pendant willows weep,
Over the hillside brown,
Over the dusty town,
Merrily, cheerily, cometh it down,
The rain, the summer rain.
O the rain. the welcome rainl
Softly, kindly it falls
On tiny flower and thirsting plain
And vine by the cottage walls;
Langhingly tipping the lily's cup.
II fileth the crystal chalice up.
Joyously greeting the earth that thrills
Thro' her thousand veins OF gath'rlng rillS,
Over the violet's bed.
Over the sleeping dead,
Cometh. with kindly tread,
The rain, the gentle rain
O. the rain, the cheering rain .
Drifting slowly, sweety down.
Where spreading fields OF golden grain
The sloping hillsides CROWN
Flecking with dimples the lakes calm face,
Qliekening the schooboy's tardy pace,
Caressing bud by a wayside stone,
Leaving a gem as it passes on
In the daisy breast,
On the thistle's crest
And the butter-cup richly drest
By the rain. the generous rain

The VALLEJO RAILRoAD.-Ihe Soano Press of
December 25th thus refers to the progress of this
road: Work is steadily progressing on the Vallejo
and Sacramento Railroad-the contractor having
been delayed but short time by the late rains.
The first seven miles are to be finished by March.
The cars and rolling stock of the road are on
their way here from the East, and by June the
Superintendent expects to have the cart running
to the hill near Ish's few miles west of Suisun. By
August they expect to have the road completed to
SuiSun, and by the lst of next December to have
the running through TO Sacramento. They
will quarry the stone from Ish's Hill for the pur
pose of furnishing material for the warehouses and
machine shops at Vallejo. The contract has al,
ready been let for constructing the road from Sac
ramento to this place, and the work is to be pushed
forward fast as capital and labor accomplish
it. The company intend making gift of lands and
funds for the purpose of assisting in frst-class
school buildings at Vallejo, and it is expected that
George W. Simonton, Of the best teachers in
the State will take hold of that enterprise assisted
by the company. and establish an academy Of which
both Solano county and the Railroad Company may
well be proud.

ROUND NALLEY.-A correspondent OF the Men
docino Herald writes as follows concerning this
valley Most of the settlers are from Sacramento
valley. There being wagon road, they showed
uncommon energy in crossing the plains, to reach
a place where they expected to find home.
Though encircied by difficulties the valley possessed
every facility for enjoyment of the outer world.
The climate is probably as healthy any can be,
having the breezes mixed with all the puritieS Of
the mountain air. The soil produces everything
requisite to ill the granaries, cribs, and smoke
houses of those who are in the pursuit of liberty
happiness and the comforts of this life Two
years ago but few families had found their way
into this corral of natures own formation. Then
the hunter ruled the land with a government abso-
lutte in its character But now the farmer. the pa
trot aud the American exercise the right of suffrage
for their coantry's good. The fort formerly occa-
pied by Captain Douglas is now commanded by
Captain Jordan who is having brick quarters
erected in the place of log ones used by Donglas.
This is an enterprise highly commendable in the
Captain, for it adds greatly to the improvements of
the valley. and proves that Uncle sam is not In
different 10 this place on account Of its isolation
There is also sawmll and Touring mill, owned by
Grey, which afford a ready market for wheat taken
as currency for lumber, and bringing the farmer an
equivalent very essential TO his comfort. There IS
a singing school here every Saturday night. and
dances very often, the people being of very lively
disposition and fond Of the amusements of the ball
room, where graceful actions are inspired By good
music and friendship strengthened by such meet
ings OF socsbiliiy and pleasure The people are
booking forward TO the time when they will be
favored with a wagon road. passing from Sacra-
mento 10 Humboldt and also connecting with
