This shows an average cost for the mere con
struction of the road of less than Sl2 900 per mile
and Hr. Lewis, who is well known a the Engineer
for the San Jose Railroad and the wall saws the
estimates sufficient to cover the probable cost
of the road
On showing like this a company of energetic
and responsible men backed by national grant of
land amounting to II 500 acres per mile, ought to

up the Sacramento Valley forthwith. The advan-
tages of the road to the whole State and especially
to San Francisco have often been presented to these
columns They are more striking when we reflect
that the road viii be part of great system, con
Meeting with the Pacific Railroad and uniting the
Columbia river with the Golden Gate. The Com
pany hope to uate their enterprise with the Cali
fornia and Yuba Railroads from Folsom to Marys-
would add 35 miles of settled country to the bus
ness of the road, and connect directly with the Pa
ciiic Railroad which now that the Western Pacific
Railroad has been bought ont, will be extended d.
rectly to San Francisco BY the time that the Cal

TIE VALLEJO AND SACRAMENTO RAILROAD
Speaking Of California railroads generally, the Al.
ia says:
On the Californs Pacific Railroad-from Vallejo
10 Sacramento-the grading OF most of the dry
portion of the route is finished and the contractor
is waiting for the first cargo OF iron, which will be
due in a few days Therc are now seven cargos
1t sea. The delay in making the shipment has dis
appointed the hopes of having the road done in
time for bringing this years grain crop to Vallejo
and thus one of the chief OBJECTS for haste is remov-
ed The grading and piiing in the snle will not be
done until the river reaches its lowest condition.
Ii is doubtful now weather the road will be CON-
pleted to Sacramento this season. as was promised
10 the beginning of the year. The work of laying
the track however, will be commenced as soon as
the iron arrives. and considerable portion of the
road will be finished before the rain comes Is said
that q branch to Marysville will surely be built
from near Woodland next year and this branch
connecting with the Oroville road. will command
an extensive trade and bring the entire northern
part of the State days journey nearer to the me
tropolis

WoN'r SUBMIr.-The Sacramento Union is not
disposed to he governed by the withdrawal of two
of its four candidates, but is disposed to them
any how Like all who are familiar with games of
chance, it has no objections to occasionally going
it blind The following specimen brckbats
occasionally thrown at the lost pleiade@ by the
partisan press:
NICE CALCCLATIoN.-The Sacramento Union is
nice calculator. 1t fixes the voting population at
100 900 of which Haight Is to have 81 800, and
Gorham % 900 That will leave Bidwell 81 500 :
and of course Haight and Bdwell be tied, That
will be bad. Couldn't the Union change the ar
rangement just little
SOME one enquiries whether the peculiar fervor
of the Sacramento Union in the Democratic canse
NAV not be considered ''St. Anthonys fire
Guess not. That fire would never go further than
pot in poker.
THE Gold Hill Ne,cs remarks as follows: Cal
iforna exchange says that the Sacramento Union
is evidently determined not to let up on the Un.
ion ticket; but If it cannot throw anything sub
stantial in the way is determined TO haunt us with
its chostly gibbersh during the campaign" Why
don't you know, St. Anthony claims TO be a lineal
descendant of Pokerh haunt us
PER CoNTRA.-The Union, of Tuesday, strikes
back at the Union party press as follows:
LES Charles Lamb once said of an
irrascibe old professor, of whose death he had just
heard that he he the Professor would
have fogged the angels who accompanied him to
heaven if he could have found anything like flesh
and blood To hit. Our relations with the Gorilla
Gorham papers are somewhat similar. We know the
servie creatures merit cha>tse meut, but there is
nothing OF them to strike at. Taken altogether in
a bunch. they are too small even for outspoken
contempt When the deStinies and principles of
the Union party fall into such hands it is sign
that heaven and truth are deserting the cause
And there is but one or two CT the partisan press
thus denounced, but what the Union has afore-
time spoken OF in terms of commenGation. Alas
how demoralizng partisan politics.
