CALIFORNIA IN CoNGREss.-The following

The writer says:


The success of the California delegation in
getting all their important measures through
the last session of Congress, leaves but little

this Winter. A few more railroad bills, how
ever. are pressed upon their attention, and
they will labor hard to secure their passage.

grants of land in aid of the proposed railroad
from Benicia to Sacramento and MarysvI ie.

working for the grants Of land, conceded by
the Senate last session, to aid the California
Railroad, and the proposed railroad from
Petaluma through Russian River Valley to
Humboldt. Probably an effort will be made

of the San Jose Railroad southwark to Wat

land grants in aid of canal through Colusa,
Yolo and Solano counties, which is greatly
needed to drain large portion of the wet
lands in that portion of the State, and which
would also confer vast additional benefits on
the country traversed. by furnishing water
for irrigation and supplying a channel of
communication. Bidwell will also ask a
grant of three sections per mile of mountain
land to aid in constructing a wagon road
from Oroville up to the middle fork of Feath-
er river to the eastern boundary of the State.
the route being all the way below the snow
line. He will again press the bill introduced
by him at the last session, providing for the
maintenance of the Indians in Northern Cal
ifornia by concentrating them on the Round
Valley Reservation, which he proposes to
have enlarged by taking in adjacent noun
famous regions-the expense to be paid main
ly from the proceeds of the sale of the other
reservations.

A. P. LADD,


Assessor of Shasta County,
Shasta, Feb %, 1867. f23

George Kendall, of the New Orleans Pic
ayune, tells the following story:


" While talking with Captain Wilson, who
is an old salt, and good one, | find in COM
parinc notes that sailed or steamed with
him some sixteen or eighteen years ago, be-
tween Charleston and Philadelphia, on the
Osprey, then running regularly in that trade.
She was slow steamer, but staunch one.
We had a species of adventure on board,
which shall not soon forget. The first NOR
ming after crossing Charleston bar, some
where off Georgetown, if my memory serves
me- we were all, good number of passen-
gers, quietly enjoying ourselves under the
awnings, the weather delightful and the sea
smooth, when suddenly the bow of the steam
er struck some hard substance k'chug, check
ing her up suddenly, and causing her to
culver from stem to stern All rushed to
the sides, both larboard and starloard ex
pecting to see huge log or piece of a wreck
pass by; but nothing could be discovered
not even a limb or piece of plank. There
was wonder and excitement on board, and
as the steamer passed on, many eyes we're
cast astern, expecting to see some kind of
n drift turn up but all was smooth-not a
speck came to the surface the passengers
soon returned to their books or cigars, and in
half an hour all was forgotten.


This was about 10 O'Clock in the morn
ing. After dinner, while | was talking with
the Captain, the engineer came up and qui-
etly said that something was wrong; he had
on his usual head of steam, but the Osprey
was running q knot or a knot and a half
slower than usual be had examined every
part of the machinery, had found it all right,
and could not account for the falling off,
The mate was called, and he, too, was at a
loss he had noticed that the vessel was not
up to her usual speed, yet could not account
for it. Blu. in looking well over the bow,
the whole thing was explained the cutwa
ter of the steamer, crank and deep, had
struck an enormous trunk turtle directly in
the side, had gone aboat half way through
the monster, had fastened to him, and was
pushing him through the water ahead, to
the great detriment of her speed. A church
door, showed sideways, could not have impe
ded the steamers PROCESS much more than
this huge turtle, who was, of course, lying
fast asleer on the surface when struck. Nor
was it an easy matter to disengage him. A
number of men, with hatchets aad axes. were
sentdowu, and first cut off the turtles head
which, rs large as bucket. was drawn on
deck, and taken on to Philadelphia as tro-
phy. The carcass which was thought to
weigh eleven or twelve hundred pounds. was
next cut away, and when once loose from
the strange companion, the Osprey sped at
her usual rate. In all my nautical remini s.
ceuces, do not recollect having read of q
similar occurrence"

In time gone by. tie attention of agri-
cultural papers, agricultural societies and
breeders of horses has been directed to
speed as to the standard of excellence in a
horse, and premiums have been awarded
upon trial of speed over the race course,
shd ths stock of some sweepstakes" have
been sought after, not BY sportsmen aud
fancy dealers only, but by farmers, as if
speed were the only thi#g needful, or at
least the che which iHSGred every other
desirable Quality in horse.


Now the fact is that, while Z free, rapid
gait is very desirable quality in car
riage horse, it is not especially desirable
anywhere else, and run is never desira-
BILE, except when going FOR doctor at a
distance IN some extreme emergency, and
then a man would never lend his $4,000
race horse to go. To speak plainly, high
speed is cultivated and considered specially
valuable only for purposes of gambling
not upon the small scale of twenty-five
cent game at poker, but upon that dignified
respectable scale in which the stakes run
up to hundreds and thousand. of dollars


What is it that gives the racer or fast
trotter such prodigioasly enhanced price
over another worth twice as much fo! any
practical use? Nothing but the prospect
that he will win money tor his owner on
the race course. If hotIy chased by Indi-
ans, or by one of those prairie fires that we
read of, speed might be of some use, if
the animal had bottom enough to cores
pond. But such animals never get very
near the Indians, and such fires only sweep
over the pages Of romance. High speed
is essentially the gambling quality of the
horse, ard when agricultural socie ties
award premiums upon such horses, they
award premiums upon the most Successful
instruments of gambling.


The stock of racer may, possibly, be
more lively on the hoot than that OF 9TH
ets of a different build and temperament.
but it is generally at the expense of other
qualities equally OF more important. A
horse built like a greyhound can never
have the strength and endurance nccessa-
r5 so. the honest. useful service.


We are glad to notice that the agricul-
tural press and agricultural societies are
beginring to take sensible view as to
what constitutes really valuble horse, and
to insist upon leaving fast horses to fast
men, and encouraging those improvements
in the stock which are of service in the
useful walks Cor trots) of life. Sensible
people do not want to drive 20 Mill or to
meeting, nor yet to market, on keen run,
nor to piow, on a 2'4O trot. They want
horses that will turn good score of fur
rows, haul good load. OF perform good
days journey on the road, and do it day
after day the season through, rather than
those that will run a mile in ninety Sec

State Rights and Manhood SuE


frage.


Mr.. John Quincy Adams, in his letter ac-
cepJing the nomination for the Governor
ship of Massachusetts, by the Democratic
State Convention, uses the following Ian
guage-rather remarkable for the latitude
of New England:


81 am glad to see the doctrine of State
rights, as understood and promulgated by
the founders of our Commonwealth and
by the fathers of our National Union, res
cued from unmerited Obloquy, and cherish
by you, as it must be by all, if the New
England States are to retain their Senato-
rial preponderance in Congress"


That there is possibility of this be-
coming practical question, is shown by
the language of Ex-Governor Seymour in
his late address to the New York Demo-
cratic State Convention.


Said Governor s.: 49,


''They sc ,mnly declare they are in favor
of what they call manhood suffrage Be it
so, but with it must go manhood represent
tation. Manhood suffrage must not be used
to destroy the right of the majority of the
people of this country. Ii it is the natural
right of the negro IN Florida to have vote,
it is not his right to have it counted forty
fold more in the Senate of the United
States than that of man in New York.
If it is the natural right of a man in
New York to have vote, it is also his
natural right to have it count as much
in the controlling branch of the Govern
ment as that of man in Rhode Island.-
Ii this revolution is begun it must go on
to its logical, just end. 1t must not roll on
the necks of the majority OF the Amer
lean people and stop there. but numbers
must be represented, not rotton boroughs
or sham States. We implore Senators not
to begin revolution. Your organization is
at war with impartial suffrage and impair
tial representation. If you continue your
usurpation the country may not be content
with driving you back within constitution
al limits. 1t may go further, and, acting
upon doctrines you assert. it may crush
you out and make another Senate, based in
truth upon manhood suffrage. The coun-
try needs peace, but if you will have revo-
luton it cannot stop at any chalk lines.you
may mark out"
