THE FEATHER RIVER RAILROAD.

That company or corporation which
shall, in the future, establish line of
railroad crossing the Sierra Nevada
Mountains through the pass which is
indicated in the subjoined extract will
secure the control of route which is,
by all odds, the most accessible and
feasible of any that crosses that range
at point entering the mining regions
and populous counties of California
Says the Marysville Appeal of the 9th
inst:
A day or two since we had the pleasure Of
meeting A. w. keddie, chief engineer of the
above named railroad, when we ascertained
several important facts in reference to this
important enterprise. The survey has been
completed from Orovile, Butte county, to the
American Valley, Plumas county, on the
line of the North Fork of the Feather River.
Tie distance from Oroville to American Val
ley is ascertained to be IA miles, and the
minimum grade for the railroad bed is found
to be only thirty-one feet to the mile-the
heaviest at any point being sixty-seven feet.
The survey establishes the fact that the Ser
ras can be crossed by this route at an altitude
three thousand feet lower than the Bonner
Lake route, and that snow can never inter-
rupt the regular passage of trains. In the
mountainous pass there is only two feet Of
snow at this time. Surveyor keddie is now at
the Capital on business connected with this
railroad and we judge from what We learn
that there is hattering prospect of the COM
pletion of this road at an early day. This
road will open a speedy road to the Nevada
market, and bring about low freishts by COM
petition with the Pacific Railroad.
We had somehow got possession OF
the idea that the Central Pacific Rail-
road Company had taken steps to secure
the right of way over the Feather River
Route. They had certainly better do so,
if possible for it seems uaquestionable
that pass like that which affords the
Eastern approach to Beckwith Valley,
open as it is during the periods when
the Bonner Lake Route is impossible,
will come to be used to great advantage,
sooner or later. Indeed there was
current statement hereabout sometime
ago that the Union Pacific Railway had
it in contemplation to switch off, some
where this side of Salt Lake and cross
he Sierras on a track of their own
1own the Feather River Route. Our
'uture hopes lie in the business which
. line of railway across the Plains will
,uild up. The pressure thereby occa-

LINCOLN'S BIRTH DAY.

"He is the honestest man 1 ever
knew" said Stephen A. Douglas of his
rival, Abraham Lincoln. No man in
high station ever paid higher compli-
ment to his competitor and no man
that ever lived better merited so en-
phatic a declaration of simple merit
than the object Of this hearty avowal.
This anniversary has not come to be
celebrated with that unanimity and en-
phasis that it merits at the hands of the
American people. But i: will not be
forgotten in the future. Coming gen.
erations will delight to do honor to the
memory of the Martyr President by cell
sbrating the day Of his birth as one of
the most cherished events in the history
of that sublime civilization of which be
was SO grand a champion and friend.
And in the prosperous years that the
patriot heart trusts and hopes are in
store for this most favored of nations, a
and strengthened Union
and people blessed with peace, frater-
nifty and a more perfect Liberty will
stand as the imperishable monument to
the purity of life, earnestness of patri-
otto endeavor and glorious name of

NEETINa OF STATE CENTRAL con-
MITTEE,

We are kindly furnished with ths
following report of the proceedings had
at the meeting, on Monday, at Virginia
City, of the Stais Central Committee,
by one-of the members then present:
The Committee met at the office OF
c. f. belong. A quorum being present,
c. N. Noteware was elected Secretary
pro tenn. The eighth day Of April was
decided upon as the day for holding a
State Convention at Carson City, for
the purpose of electing delegates to
represent the State of Nevada IN the
National Union Republican Convention
to be held at Chicago, May Goth 1868.
The various County Central Commit
tees were directed to hold elections
prior to April LIST for the selection Of
delegates 10 the State Convention,
which may be done directly at primary
meetings, or by primary meetings and
County Conventions, as such County
Committees may direct. Each county
will be entitled to as many delegates
in State Convention as it bad members
of the Legislature at the last session,
and to one delegate at large. The coun-
ty of Lincoln will be entitled to one
delegate at large for the county.
The following test was recommended
to be used by the several County Com.
mittees Upon challenge the voter
shall answer these questions |" Did
you vote the Union ticket at the last
general election? Will you support
the nominees of the National Union
party for President and
Vice President
We think the Committee decided very
wisely in appointing SO early day for
holding the Convention. By SO doing
hey have made it possible for the dele
rates to make ample preparations for
heir journey, and to 60 either by the
Plains or by steamer, as they may
moose. The aggregate of delegates
o the State Convention is smaller than
he number usually named for nominal
ng conventions, but quite large enough
or all practical purposes. Under the
Ian agreed upon, Ormsby county will
'e entitled to six delegates. The ties,
seems fair and sufficiently
The Committee seem
o have done their work we'll and for
be best interests Of the party.

A BRANCH RAILROAD.

Mr.. EDITOR In your remarks upon a
d" A Branch Railroad to the Truckee, 4"
you say I" the statement is that the Vir-
ginia steep grade is abandoned" For
one have never believed fools enough
could be found on the Pacific Coast to
attempt the building of a Railroad
from the Truckee directly to Virginia
City. Whatever may be the desire of
real estate owners in Virginia to con-
centrate business there, they cannot
convince outside business men that it
is e1pedient or advisable to elevate
merchandise and machinery two thou
sand feet above the common level Of
the country for the purpose of distribu-
ton throughout the State. A direct
line from the Truckee to Virginia would
accommodate no other locality than
Virginia and Gold Hill and would be
susceptible of no practical connections
whatever. Every one conversant with
the locality of Railroads knows that
millions of capital have been sunk en-
tirely by the management getting into
tho hands of men who could see no
other advantage than that of building
up certain section of country
without inuqiring whether such par.
ticular section can give sufficient bust
ness 70 the road to pay the investment.
II the southern portion of our State
grows in prosperity, as we have every
reason to believe it will do, a connec-
tioa of the Carson Valley with the
c. P. r R. is not possible, but certain,
and that connection will be through
Steamboat and Washoe Valleys, where
the Almighty has so arranged the geo.
graphical phase of the country as to
form almost natural road bed from the
Truckee to the head Of Carson Valley,
a distance of nearly hundred miles.
Having had some experience in con-
'tructing railroads l venture the asser-
lion that FIVE miles OF road over this
ina cau be graded at less expense than
he average Of one mile on the Virginia
,teep grade. am further of opinion
hat road to Virginia by way of
Washoe to the divide, south of the
AXE, thence by the foothills and Amer
can Flat, can be made more available

LEG broken. Yesterdays Enterprise

says:
At Antelope Springs. Long Valley, Sierra
county, California, Friday last, John Stone,
of the firm of Stone & Gates, Stone & Gates
Crossing on the Truckee, had his leg broken
below the knee and the bone badly shattered
by kick from horse. DR.. Bryarly OF this
city was sent for and went out and set the
broken limb. 1t appears that while riding
one horse and driving another, he struck the
forward horse which kicked and unlucklly
struck his leg as above stated.

The WAY PENDLEroN's SUPPORTERS
TALK.-The man most likely to receive
the Copperhead nomination for the
Presidency is Pendleton of Ohio. The
New York Day Book is consistent in its
support of him and reiterates his senti-
ments in the following manner:
The Tribune is afraid the South won't en-
Joy paying It's share of the war debt. 1t
ought. certainly. to be too inexpressibly
happy to pay debt illegally contracted in
plundering and numbering her citizens. A
southern man who advises "a faithful COM
plying with the terms Of the debt" is patri-
otto eenius-and if he was not born of a
negro wench, he ought to have been.
