THE TWENTY-sECOND OF FEBRU.
AIRY.

On Thursday, one hundred and forty
years ago, George Washington, commander
il chief of the American forces for seven
long years of an arduous struggle, twice
President of the United States, the
Father Of his Country, first saw light
His was an illustrious life, that shown
brighter and brighter from its Commerce
ment to its close. From the day of taking
command of an army of yeomsnry at Cam
bridge, Massachusetts,, to the expiration of
his life, the world has failed to produce a
worthier example in everything, than the
character and example of Washington.
Declining all emoluments excepting
what was necessary for actual expenses, he
led the Colonists of America through a
struggle, that for hardship and endu ance
has never been eaualed n modern times
Successful at last, he returns, like Cincin-
natus, to his homeste and farm. never to
appear as public man again. But he was
not through his labor The people, of all
shades of opinion, after the formation and
ratification of the Constitution, with one
voice called on him to be the chief magis
trate of the new Republic. and against his
wish and inclinations, he became the first
President Of the United Statas, and retired
after service of eight years. admonishing
his fellow citizens to beware of internal
dissentons.
Under the command OF this great man
marched and fought the men of Massachu
setts and other New England States. side
by side with the Virginian, Carclinian and
other Southerners-from Cambridge to
New York, across the Hudson to Prince
ton, to Trenton :. across the Delaware with
frozen and bleeding feet to Valley Forge,
to Brand dywine, to Monmouth, and tn York
town, all united as brothers, suffering
alike, with one view--the independence of
the Colonies
Let all patriotic Americans ever keep
green the memory of the pure and good
Washington, by appropriately observing
the anniversary of his BIRTH May the In
dependence he gained, the Republic he
created, and the Union he cemented, en-
dure until time is no more

force of men busily at work endeav-
oring to replace the pier upon which the
draw of the Tehama bridge rested, but the
high water greatly interferes with their
operations Four hundred Cinnamon and
a few white men are grading between Red
Bluff and Cottonwood, and it is thought
that the rails will be laid down to distance
of eight or ten miles this side of the former
place by the middle of March Five bund-

between the end of the track and Cotton
wood about the 1st of March, and it is al
so reported that another force of several

Cottonwood and Clear Greek in few weeks.
An engineer with whom we conversed a
few days ago says the cars will undoubted-

A PoT-The leading managers of the
Railroad Company informed Judge Bush,
a few days ago. that although it was i'm
possible to raise the grade Of the road to an
elevation sufficient to run it into Shasta, a
fact which they regretted, but that they
were willing to do the best they could for
the town under the circumstances They
declared their willingness and desire to
locate and build fine depot at any point
on the line which our citizens aud business
men might select, and affirmed that the
prosperity of the town of Shasta would also
rebound to their interest either directly or
indirectly. The Company are not in the
town building or town destroying business,
as is shown by their treatment of Chico,
Tehama, and Red Bluff, which places they
could have evaded for miles and built up
oppostions thereto, if they had been dis
posed to &c into that kind of business. 1t
seems that the mouth of Middle Geek, two
and q half miles from here is the best point
for the location Of the depot for Shasta
The elevation to be overcome between the
town aud that point is FIVE hundred feet,
anu the chance for turnpike is excellent

Maine Manufacturing News.

During the past week, Ira d. S.urgis, Esq,
of Augusta one of the most extensive lumber
dealers and manufacturers in the State has
concluded an arrangement for the construc.
ton of steam saw-mill at Birch Point in this
town.
| The property to be conveyed for the use of
the mill and other operations, in the Birch
Point mill and farm Of about one hundred
and twenty acres of upland, the Hilton mill
and the adjacent water and flats. A boom
can be made at very slight expense sufficient
to contain twenty millions Of lumber, and
there is abundant room for wharfage for yes
sells of the largest class, in water always open
and free from ice.
Mr.. Sturgis, who has operated steam saw
mills in this State and in the Provinces, says
this is the best location for such a mill within
his knowledge. No ice will obstruct the
boom or navigation-so that lumber can be
manufactured and shipped as well in winter
as in summer. Transportation can also be
had by railroad. The location is we'll adapt.
ed for ship building and the manufacture of
bricks.
Mr.. Sturgis proposes to erect the best
steam saw-mill in the State, with the most
approved machinery for the various manufac-
lures of lumber. The mill is to be completed
in 1878, so as to be ready for business next
winter.
Near the mill will be located steam brick
machine capable of making 10000 bricks
day; and the wood of the mill will be used in
burning them. Ice houses will be built on
fresh water pond near by where ice may be
shipped during the winter in vessels OF the
largest size.
The Point is to be connected with the viii
lage of Wiscasset by bridge to be built by
the town, so that the property will be of easy
access to the town.
On the whole we think Mr.. Sturgis may be
congratulated on having secured the best To-
cation for his business in the State, and the
town of Wiscasset on having established with
in its limits work of such Importance.
