Messrs Atchison and Rice, of the Sierra
Turnpike Company. were in this city recent
ly, obtaining subscriptions of stock to this
road, and met with very fine success. Marys
vile, however, has not yet furnished the full
amount which is expected of her and which
she ought to contribute. When the Sierra
Turnpike Company was first set on foot, il


was intended to construct the road down tc
the plains in such direction as to connect


with the road to Sacramento and leave Ma
rysville to the right, thus giving the trade Of
| Downieyille and surrounding country tc
Sacramento. The reason for this neglect of
Marysville was that her citizens had before
refused to co operate with Downieyille in her
various projects for better communication
with this city But certain friends of Marys-
vile, who were connected with the present
enterprise, undertook to pledge her hearty
cooperation, in this instance, with the work,
and engaged that she would do her part in
subscribing the requisite amount of stock.
On this assurance, it was concluded to
build the road directly to this place. The
good sense of our citizens has enabled the
parties interested to redeem in some measure
the pledge given, but in order to fully meet
the just expectations and inducements held
out, she should contribute at the present
iuncture about four or five thousand dollars
more. This amount is needed from her now,
in order to enable the Company to let out
contract for the completion of part of the
route, consisting of seven or eight miles, be-
tween Garden Valley and the Sleighville
House, as well as the contemplated branch
road from the Mountain House to Forest City
and to Alleghanytown. As to the rest of the
road, forty thousand dollars worth of the
work has been let, and the labor is now go
ing on. The part let is from Dow melville to
the Mountain House and from Garden Valley
to the Sleighville House, with the exception
of the seven or eight miles above mentioned
remaining to be let. The great importance
of at once letting this unlet portion is mani.
fest, and four or five thousand dollars from

other places will raise, will soon effect the
object. Certain prominent citizens of Dow
melville will visit this city, in the course o
two or three weeks for the purpose of Undue
ing our citizens to bestir themselves expedi-
tiously in the matter, and it is to be hoped
that they will meet with hearty welcome
and solid encouragement


The balance of the work is progressing
finely. The construction of a bridge across
Yuba river, between Goodyear's Bar and
Downieville, is not the least important feature
of the enterprise, and this work is advancing
under contract rapidly. The bridge will cost
only $4,000.


The business of constructing the different
portions of the road is in able hands, and
nothingis needed now but the prompt re-
sponse of our citizens to the demand for four
or five thousand dollars of ready cash. With
this subscription in good time, the value of
stock will be enhanced a hundred fold i'm
mediately, and the beneficial effects of an in
creased trade be realized in every mans
pocket in Marysville in very brief period

We desire to say few words to the dele
gates who have been elected to the Anti-Le
compton Democratic Convention of this
county.


1t has been abundantly proclaimed in va
rious public places, that many of you are
elected with a distinct understanding that
you are to vote for certain individual aspi-
rants before the Convention and none other
We trust that, whatever may be the under
standing as to your leanings and predictions,
you are at least not pledged to any one man
or men. We should dislike much to see, at
this important juncture in the political affairs
,cooden men, who are to be used as the pup
pets of those who control them behind the
scenes. 1t is no time now for any such wire.
working operations. 1t is no time now for
carrying out mere personal predictions.
We are on the eve of great battle-the
most important that the Douglas party of
this State has ever been engaged in-and it
is the success of the party, and not of indi-
viduals that is to be considered. No man
has a right to vote in convention for a candi
date, however good man he may be, who
will bring, or will be likely to bring, or may
possibly, bring defeat upon the party, There
are many good and true men in our ranks,
but there are some who can be elected, if
nominated, and there are others again who
cannot. Is any delegate going to sacrifice the
party for the sake of giving nominations to
men who cannot succeed before the people
Surely not? We must fight, not for the mere
sport of fighting, but to win.


We think no candidate, who is truly a
Douglas man, and who has the interests of
his party at heart, can object to being drop
ped in the convention, if it shall seem obvi
Gus to that body that more available nomi
nee is at hand No man has a claim upon
the party higher than the interests of the
party itself, and any man who would press
his friends in n convention to still support
him, when he knew, or they knew, that an
other man was the more available candidate
ought to be stricken from the roll of the par
tv. The Douglas organization has now great
issues at stake We cannot afford to lose a
solitary point in the great game that is to be
played, and the curses of the party should
dwell like an eternal blight upon any man
or men who would for the sake of his or their
own personal profit or Advancement, throw
one solitary obstacle in its way.


Such are our honest and candid senti-
ments We have no choice whatever among
the aspirants for the different positions for
which nominations are to be made in the
convention, further than this that we desire
to see the very strongest men in our party
nominated; that is to say, men who have
the largest confidence of the people, and will
poll the heaviest number of votes. We do
hope that the convention of tomorrow will
exercise cool consideration and a sound dis
cretion in the nominations which they shall
make.

of Wednesday has the following;


A serious accident occurred at the Nebras'
ka Shaft last Saturday morning. AT seven
o'clock, the time for shifting hands, six men
got into the drift, and started the car down
before the engineer had time to connect the
couplings of the drum and shaft, and the car
started down the incline at lightning speed
The engineer, seeing the danger, caught hold
of strap which was hung around the drum
to check the car when running without a
load. As the car was checked, Samuel Day
ton who was standing in the front was thrown
out, and the car run over him and was
thrown from the track. About THIS time
four of the men jumped out, but Thomas God
frey remained in the car which continued to
run at a rapid rate to the bottom; he was
considerably injured but will recover in a
week or two. Dayton was seriously injured;
his back was broken, one knee put out Of
joint, and he was otherwise badly bruised
and cut. He is not expected to recover
The four who jumped from the car were moi
injured.

Another great advantage to our mind is, the

mind the thunder of the omnibus, over the
rough pavement, we sincerely pray for their
speedy abolition, and the adoption of a
quieter mode of conveyance. Again, the car
occupies the exact centre of the street, and
is therefore more easily avoided by other
drivers than the omnibus, which, like the
wind, goeth where it lsteth. The increased
speed at which cars can safely travel is of i'm

inches from the ground, and is reached by one

side of which the passenger enters, precisely as
into an ordinary railroad car, except that the


height is much less. The roof, or ceiling, is
seven feet high, so that even new hat may be

Are street Railroads Convenient


We endeavored, few days since, to show
tho benefit to be derived from tho construc-
tion of Street Railroads. We will now touch
upon their convenience, and in order to do so
more intelligibly, we will attempt description
of the roads themselves, and of the carriages
used upon them. The track is formed by plac-
ing two fat strips of iron upon the level of
the boulders, in the center of the street; these
strips, or rails are about five inches in width,
and one side, to the width of an inch and a
half, is seven-eighths of an inch higher than
the other; this raised portion forms the rail
upon which the car wheels run, the remaining
inside hatpart is for the use of carriages; the
rise in the rail is rounded at its edge, so as to
allow vehicles to pass off and upon it with
great facility. This can bo tho more readily
understood, when it is remembered that the only
irregularity in the surface of the pavement is
but Seren-eighths of an inch. The gauge of the
track, or distance between the inside of the
raised portion of the rails is wisely fixed
by the ordinance now! before Council, at
five feet two inches, which affords room for
ordinary street vehicles to run upon the
fiat, smooth surface of the iron, which of course
is much easier to both horse and rider, than
jolting over the bpwlders. 1t has been found

were laid, were more used for ordinary travel
