There is nothing sheds so fine light
upon the human mind as candor. It
was called whiteness by the ancients, for
its purity, and it has always won the es-
TEEN due 10 the most admirable of vir-
tue little sought for or practiced; all do
TO it the homage Of their praise, and feel
the charm and power OF its influence.
The man whose opinions make the deep
est mark on his fellow-man, whose
influence is the most lasting and
efficient, whose friendship is in
stinctivsly sought where all Others
proved fsithIess, is not the man Of bril-
liant parts, or fattering tongue, or splen-
did genius or commanding power, but he
whose lucid candOr and ingenious truth
transmit the hearts real feelings pure
and without refraetiOn. There are other
qualities which are more snowy, aud
other traits that have higher place in
the worlds code Of honor, but none wear
better, or gathers less tarnish by use, or
claim a deeper homage in that silent
reference which the mind must pay to
virtue.

We notice that the Fort Smith Herald
OF the II inst, is very jubilant over the
prospects Of getting a railroad to that i'm
portant and growing metropolis of western
Arkansas BIT we regret to inform our
cOnJrere that he has been hoaxed, as the
proposed consolidation of the Memphis and
Little Rock and the Little Rock and Fort
Smith railroads, was disapproved by the
stockholders of the first named company.
No contract has been made for the construc-
tion of any part Of the road west Of this
city, and we very much fear that the gallant
Gen. FORREST, and the brigade Of three
thousand workmen will postpone action yet
awhile. But we are informed that new
terms OF consolidation are now being ncgO.
tiated, which will secure the completion Of
the road to Fort Smith in q easonab bic
time


We are only induced TO notice this sub
ject in this manner, for the reason that to
excite undue expectations in the mind of a
community always has depressing effect
in the end We hope therefore that our
friends in the west will be patient and hope
tnl, and prepare to do their whole duty
When called upon for it is the work OF
years, and will require the expenditure Of
millions to build railroad through the
mountainous regions of western Arkansas


AS our cotemporary of the Van Buren
Press very justly observes, it is now too
late for the people of the city Of Fort Smith
to secure any share in the control of this en-
terprise. We believe it will not be the
policy of the company to receive subscrip-
tions to its capital stock, but they will ex-
pect the merchants, and others interested
to take their bonds to the utmost of their
ability, and thus aid all in their power to
push forward the great work. '..


We observe by the printed report of the
Il. Il. " +. company, that while their
plucky little neighbor, Van Buren, has
taken stock in the company to the amount
OF $4,000, Fort Smith with population
two orthree times as great, and with in
terests far oatweighing those of all the in
termedate towns along the road combined,
has not subscribed dollar. We hope.
then, that when the proper time arrives,
the citizens of that enterprising place will
act IN such manner as to deserve the good
fortune that is surely in store for them.


Whenever a consolidation of these two
most important roads shall be effected, we
shall have something more to say on the
snbject,-L R Gazette.

A Radical journal in Ohio is anx-
ious to know what the Democrats
arc going to do with the victory.
The Chillicothe Advertiser answers
by this pungent hit at the policy of
the Radicals in Congress


"In answer, we will neither hang,
nor threaten to hang, or imprison,
or mob, or insult them for having
an opinion different from our own.
The majority in our Legislature will
not refuse admission to the mem bers
from the Reserve because they rep
resent a section antagonistic to US
in politics. 1t will not, for the pur-
pose of getting two thirds vote turn
enough radicals out to secure it !;
neither will appoint a committee TO
inquire whether Ashtabula and Lo-
rain counties have republican form
of government to secure u pretext
for depriving them ofrepresentation.
The liberties and rights of radicals,
under Democratic rule, will be as
sacredly guarded and protected as
those of Democrats.


The New York Tribune says that
while the whites Of the South are
opposing negro suffrage the negroes
are offering no resistance to white
suffrage. This is certainly very
magnanimous in Cuffee, and be mer-
its great praise for his disinterested

THE MISES.-Schefer arrived from Rattlesnake
on Monday-his first appearance since the snow
tlockaded that remote camp. He sold very
nearly $50 ounces of coarse gold at Greenhood' s
Office. Chris. Nickel, of North Fork brought q
heavy sack of dust-the contribution of his Sec
ton for the previous week. We cannot give the
exact figures, but know that large amount oil
gold was sold at the Express Office last Monday
enough to satisfy any one that mines are
"giving GU" richly. On the lower benches
along Trinity river many of the claims cannot be
worked yet from the fact that the warm weather
of the past fortnight has SO swollen the river
that work had to be suspended. From all parts
of the country We receive the most encouraging
news. Everywhere mining is carried on with re.
doubled energy, and plentiful supply of water

In Weaverviile Basin the miners are busy as
bees. The bitches brimming full of water
and in most of the large claims the banks are
rapidly crumbling TO find their way oceanward
Help is in demand everywhere.

more general prosperity throughout the country
than has been witnessed for years. There seems
to be a general feeling of confidence that the

NEW LIxE OF CoNxuvIcArIos wIgH SHASTA
CorsrY.-The Board of Supervisors of this
county have declared public highway from
Trinity Center to the summit of the dividing
range between Trinity and Shasta counties
The line Of the road will be from Trinity Center
to the mouth of the East Fork, crossing the
Trinity at Simonds' old ford, up the East Fors
to the mouth of Halls gulch, and up Halls
oulch to the head-waters OF Dog creek. TIE
route is said to be entirely feasible. From the
summit to the intersection of the Dog creek road
the distance is only FIVE miles. Avery good road
is already completed portion of the distance on
this side. The distance from Trinity Center to
the town of Dog creek would be only sixteen
miles by the proposed route, and if the dig
oinps lately discovered on the Trinity side prove
Extensive, it is predicted that this new line of
communication with our sister county will be
speedily opened.

WE understand that considerable hilaiit
was INDUCED in by our San Andreas fellow
citizens of Democratic proclivities, upon the
reception of the intelligence that the little
State of Connecticut had gone Democratic in
the recent election. Poor fellows It has
been so long since they have achieved any,
thing like victory that the slightest
'.ground-swell" throws them into uncontroll-
able ecstacies of delight. 1t makes us really
sad to think how all their fond hopes and
bright aspirations will be crushed next Fall,
There are three places in the United States
which give Democratic majorities The
State of Connecticut, the city of New York
and the town of Ell Dorado. Verify, if they
keep on increasing as fast as they have for
the past few years, We should not be at all
surprised If they succeeded in carrying an
election some time in the latter part of the
next century.
