Anniversary.
This day five years .ago, ('alifornia w as ad
mitted into the great American I nioii, and
passed trout the condition ot a comptered
province to the exalted station of a sovereign
State. By the Pioneers who had lived here
under the Mexican Hag—who saw, step hy
step, the infusion of the \me; ic't!l element—
who heheld the stars ami siripes unfurled and
the country wrested fnmi its etterx ate possess
ors, and who rejoiced when peace once more
made them Americans on American soil—by
those early corners, who were of the eon*
ipicrors, ami those who a little later partici
pated in the formation of the State govern
ment and in the stirring scenes that followed
the discovery of gold, this anniversary is
held in joyful rememhrance. They, above
all others, can appreciate the politic,al and
social blessings conferred by the act this an
niversary is intended to commemorate; and
it i~ peculiarly their province to evince their
appreciation hy a public demonstration. Hut
nine years have elapsed since our flag was
unfurled upon (he shores of < 'alifornia, and
what a change has heen effected. From a
yvildefiiess inhabited hy a few -duple natives,
she has become a proud State of three hun
dred and fifty thousand freemen. From a
sleepy hamlet has sprung up a splendid city
—from a deserted harbor, visited at long in
tervals by some petty trader, hns risen a great
commercial emporium.crowded hy the navies
«.f the world ; thriving towns have l started
up as if by magic; our inland yvatefs, that
here no greater burden than the Indian’s
canoe, syv.arm with noble steamers and busy
craft: the yvilderness lias been penetrated
even to the uttermost point, .and strong hands
and hold hearts have made it to blossom as
the, rose; yvhere the Indians and the wild
beasts roamed, smiling farms and cosy farm
houses meet the eye; gold in quantities that
would have dazzled the Incas, has been raised
from the riverbeds; roads have I opened,
and stage-coaches traverse .a net-work of
routes from Shasta Unite to Mount San Ber
nardino; telegraphs have heen established—
a licet of ocean steamers enliven our ports ;
even railroads have heen commenced, splen
did edifices erected, manufactories started,
tunnels cut, canals dug. mines of coal and
quicksilver, oii.arric- of granite and limestone,
of marble and sandstone opened ; gas and
yvater yvorks have been built, grist and saw
mills yvithoiit number erected. —and. from a
needy community that impendvd upon foreign
ers for all our supplies, we ha've come to be
a wealthy and prosperous people, that can
spare from our abundance to minister to the
necessities of others. All this mighty yvork
has been done in seven years, and all this the
I’ioneers of California have seen. So accus
tomed have we become to these rapid advan
ces, that it is only by a retrospect yve can
fully realize them. \\ ho shall put limits to
our progress within the next seven years?
Let us this day, while eommeminorating the
event that gave ns full standing in the l!e
--puhlic, remember w hat yve were, ohsery e w hat
yve are, and aeijitire reneyved courage to strive
for the fulfilment of our destiny.
Tim I’.ycmo lt.yii.uo ad. —Mr. O'Sullivan,
chief engineer of the railroad, has just re
turned, say si he St. Louis Republican, from an
examination of the yvork on the route to anil
beyond Jefferson City. He reports that there
is every prospect, amounting almost to cer
tainty, that the road will be opened to Jcfer
son City during Octsber, probably by the
first of the month. The rails will lie laid to
Hermann (80 miles from St. Louis) «>n Tues
day next, July 21st, and the road will be
opened that far for use on Monday, the Oih
of August.

The Pacific Railroad.
The report of tie- Secretary of War on Hie sev

and interesting document. It consists ol an ex
planatory report, and of maps, proliles, and tallies.
Supposing the route to he adopted, the place of
the termination of the road on tlx* I’acilie is In he
lived —either at San Diego or San I Vitro, or Sun
Francisco. The neat est port, San I’edro. does not
otter a good harbor. Tle-re are but two good har
bors on the Cali lorn in coast, to wit : .San Diego
and San Francisco. Supposing the ti nniiii of the
road to he l u I ton and San I’edro. it- length will
be one thousand six hundred and eighteen mil,a*,
and its estimated cost is Slis.97tj.nijn. From Ful
ton In San Franci-co the distance is 2.039 in I. -.
The slate of the ascents and descents is 42.miH
feet, which is equivalent to 795 mil s. and the
equated length id the road is 2.H.34 miles. The
estimated cost is §93.120.1)00 for a single track,
and without equipments. The sum is hardly with
in the scop - of private means. The estimate of
repairs and preserva'tiou of the road is not given
n-. but it would, no doubt, for years to come,
greatly exceed the receipts of the mail (rum pri
vate trav el anil freight. Hut the road might "pay"
in another wav. It may lie of incalculable value
in time of war and civil commotion, and may be
an important bond of union between the Pacific
mid Atlantic States of the Union. This question
will hardly fail to lie well considered in the next
Congress.
