THE Tunnel. AT THE SUMMIT OF THE
SIERRA NEvADA.-Thc great tunnel of the
Central Pacific railroad is completed. This
is the last, the longest, and by far the most
costly of the excavations along the line of
this road. 1t is one thousand six hundred
and sixty feet in length, and was begun at
the east portal on the 10th of September,
and on the west portal on the 10th OF Sep
TENDER last, and the work upon it has
therefore occupied about year. The ma
terial, which had to be drilled and blasted,
was granite of the hardest grain. AS but
limited surface could be presented to the
workmen, advantage was taken of de-
preston in the centre, and working shaft
of one hundred and fifty nine feet was
sunk so as to present four working faces.
The average rate of progress with powder
was about one foot per day to each face,
or from twenty to thirty feet per week in
all.
In March last the company accepted the
services Of an eXperimenter IN nltro-glyce-
rine, which article was manufactured on
the spot, wherever it could be used with
advantage, and the average was increased
to nearly fifty feet per week. The work
mep, principally Cinnamon, labored in
three gangs for eight hours each, and
proved very serviceable in this kind OF
work. At times the consumption of pow
der reached four hundred kegs per day.
Work was continued during one OF the
severest winters ever known at an eleya-
ton of over seven thousand feet above the
ocean, or three times higher than the Ale
ghanies or the Catskills.

The California Election.

SAN Francisco, September 7.-Advices
from the whole State announce the cleo
ton of the entire Democratic State ticket
by about 5000 majority.
SAN Francisco, September 6.-The De-
mocrats have carried the State, legislative,
and municipal ticket of San Francisco by
overwhelming msjorities.
Returns from the interior continue to
swell Haight's majority, which may reach
5000. The entire Union State ticket is
defeated. It is doubtful if one Union
candidate is elected. The results astound-
ing to both parties. Nothing worse was
expected by the Union men than the de-
feat of Gorham and two or three others on
the State ticket. It is believed that a large
number of Union voters absented them
selves from the polls. The Democrats will
have majority in the State Assembly.
Fourteen Of the senator's that hold over
out of twenty are Union, and may hold a
Union majority; but the election of Re-
publican senator is now impossible.
Haight made speech last night, claim
ing his election as protest against cor
ruption, Chinese and negro suffrage, and
thareconstruction policy Of Congress.

From Washington.

WASHINGTON, September I'm conse-
quence of the clerical error in the last
debt statement, issued on the 4th instant,
the Secretary of the Treasury has deter
mined to issue a new and correct state
ment, to which will be added the condi-
ton of the public debt on the lst of Sep
TENDER, 1865, which, compared with the
corrected statement to be issued, will show
an aggregate reduction of S264,906,200.
President Johns on is said to be highly
elated with the Democratic victory in
California, and predicts similar results at
the elections in the Atlantic States. The
latest returns from that State show De-
mocratic maj GRITTY in the Legislature, thus
cutting off all probability of Republican
Senator to succeed CONFESS.

GENRRAL Scunr1r1 .xn rna O1srnR

GENERAL ScHorrELD AID the OYSTER
LAw.-By the report Of the oystermen's
committee we learn that General Schofield
has abolished the liquid measurement, and
established the old standard, as more expe-
dtious as we'll as more equitable to pur-
chasers and sellers of oysters.
The committee in getting the old mea-
surement established by General Scho-
field have done nothing more than the
oysterman had right to expect; for if the
liquid measure had been adopted, much
trouble and expense would have been
caused, and in warm weather there would
be danger of the first part of cargo of
oysters spelling before the vessel could
finish loading by the tedious method pre-
scribed by the law.
The oyster trade will be immenss this
winter, and some idea of its extent may
be inferred from the fact that one north
ern firm alone will engage forty-two ves-
sells in the business.-Norfolk Virginian of

ser.ou. MISUNDERSTANDING or Dam

-Great Destruction OF Property.
HARTFORD, Conn, September 6.-The
dam Of tho West Hartford reservoir, six
miles from the city, and by which the sup
ply of water is obtained, was washed away
about . o'clock this morning, sweeping
with tremendous crash over corn-felds
and pasture lands, and bearing huge mills,
fences, and everything with it. For two
miles the fields were flooded. The valleys
and fats below were strewn with sand
rock, and other debris. The damage to
private property is considerable, and the
loss to the city will be 100000.
The dam carried away was ffty-lve feet
high from the bed of the brook, and two
hundred feet wide. 1t contained some
eighty thousand yards Of earth, and was
built year ago at a cost of $50, 1000. 1t
has not been considered safe, as it was
never properly built, being failure from
the start, sometimes leaky, and always
weak. The reservoir bed, thirty-two acres
IN extent, is now drained dry. 1t held two
hundred million gallons. The upper re-
servolr, two miles above, with partly
finished dam, seven feet high, was also
swept away. This city has been supplied
since January with water from the West
Hartford reservoir; but can be fed by
pumps from the Connecticut river in the
old way, so that there will be no Interrupt
ton Of tae supply.
The streams beyond West Hartford are
flooded, and many bridges are gone, inter
rupting travel.
The branch road to Collinsville has been
in some places submerged or swept away,
and the trains to-day are interrupted.

MEETING or TOBACCO MANUFACTURERS IN
LYNCnBURG on FRIDAY-RESOLUTI0Ns
ADOPTED -ReS0lred, That it is the duty of
the manufacturers Of tobacco everywhere
il the United States to comply strictly
with all laws passed by Congress imposing
duties upon their manufacture that while
il may be prcjudicial TO the trade at large
tha, the rate Of tax should be so high as at
present, still the law bears equally upon
all when fairly complied with by all.
That the attention of tobacco manufac-
turcrs everywhere be called to this evil,
which is 50 rapidly spreading, and which,
unless put an end to, will prove ruinous to
the trade /; and that we approve of the pre-
amble and resolutions passed by those in
attendance at the second Annual Fair of
the Association of the Tobacco Trade of
Cincinnati, held in that city commencing
July 10Th, 1867.
The evil spoken of is that inrmany Of the
markets OF the United States large guam
titles OF manufactured tobacco are con-
signed by manufacturers TO commission
merchants marked "tax paid and free
Il sold within the insurrectionary dis
t:ctS }" which marks are fraudulent.
