imOOKVILLK, INDIANA. FaiDAV. JA. 19.1249. ' A Bioactii'ul pfftit. We will give a copy of Greeley's Almanack for-lS-JP, to any our of our subscribers who w ill pay two dollars for the Americiu f.ir the year 18 IP, by the first of April next. This ofiVr is to old subscribers as vll as to uew ones. It is an excellent li'tiebooti, full fit u.furiiiaiioii. a notice ofthe contents of whi h will he fou iu au..ther column. And not least important, it contains full returns of the late election, specifying each Cuu'y in ilie Ui.Ped States. Wo have iieut for the almanacks, and sa ,, as ,,py arrive, they will be forwarded to those who hav already paid for this yen. And thereafter it

will be forwarded with the receiot to all who pay colore the In of April. Any person sub scribing before that time and paying for a year will also receive it. Of this Almanac, (he editors of the Tribune very jnstly remark: We rre confident this Almanac is the most comprehensive, eo-nplet- and accurate compilation of current Political Statisiics ever published iu any country foranythiug like the price at which this is sold. Aside from the Votes for President by Statas and Counties throughout the C.iion, the tables are so aaranged as to show the Congressional Dislrirts iu nearly everv Slate, and the respective aggregates for Congress et the late elections, so for as possible, ThU f-ature will be of great value to Politicians in canning the returns of future elections, or in essaying to determine iVom the result of some local contest the genera current of Public Opinion. The labor which this department of the work has cost us is out nf all proportion to the display it makes in the Almanac. Other characteristics of this mannal will be regarded as even more important by the general reader. A History of the Presidential contest of 1848 a like hitory of the Revolutions in Europe an account of the close of tha Mexican War with a publication in full of the Treaty of Peace and a comnact exhibition of the Expenditures of the Federal Government, nnder the heads of Army, Navy, Treasury, &c. 4c. are among the prominent features of this compilation. Comparatively few of eur citizens have any clear idea where their aggregate of Thirty Millions per annum actually goes how much of it is required to pay severally our Generals, Commodores. Colonels, Captains, Lieutenants, Midshipmen, and so on. The Whig Almanac for 1849 contains this information, intermingled with brief suggestions of Retrenchments nd Reforms in the Public Service. We believe there are many thousands who would gladly pay a shilling for this alone, and we are sure it ought to be familiarly and generally known. Rnil.Ro.id to 1'alirorni.i. A memorial has been presented to Congress, by a company, composed of Americans and Europeans, asking for the right of Way for a Rail-noadfrom St. Louis to Caliiornia," with a grant of land twenty-five miles on each side of the road. They stipulate to place five millions of dollars, o more in the treasury of the United States as a guaranty for the completion of the road, within 8 years after the completion of the surveysTheyengae to carry all munitions of war, Navy Stores, &c. free of charge, and officers and soldiers for half what is charged for other pereons. This suits us exactly, and we hope Congress will grant the prayer of the petitioners.

In our advertising columns will be found D'Alvear's advertisement of the Goldometer. As he is the discoverer of the gold mines in California (not by accident, but by scientific knowledge) his work will doubtless, be of vast benefit to those going to the laud of gold, and to those who have reason to believe there are minerals In this region. It costs but little.and may prove a means of immense wealth. Try it. Mrnoible Men . It Is a matter settled that there are some sensible men yet in the world. If mechanic, Manufacturer or artizanofanykind.is capable nf making a superior article in his particular line of business, he does not generally reap the advantage of his skill which he would if it were penerally known. Good Mechanics &c. are often neglected, and their shops are closed from the fact lht i i ... , . ul mmv io t!ie pub c Aadhowkhsllthennhlin b.. : - .C ( nuun n UUIfSS II ()f published in the papers? And ag.in; any one, whether he be a good or poor mechanic can advertise. How then can it bi g.neral'y known vho are worthy nfpatronoge? This matter is easdy settled iu t'lis region. The editor of the American is a practical Mechanic, a good judge ofthe manufactured article.aud has the firmi.es, to decide between the good and bad, and to publish it to all. Those therefore who are manufacturing a good article of any kind, which thev think will stand the test of the closest scrutiny have only to make a present of a fair specimen', and the world Mhali at once know all about it. This is at once establishing a se.fe and sure means of encouraging the worthy, and also protectmg purchasers from lhe fivquent impositions that are practiced upon them. We are willing to perform all this labor and undertake this responsibility forthewBucooD! Mr. W.

The Land Route to California. In the Louisville Courier is published a letter from Edward Bryant, the author of "what I saw in California," [sic] in which he gives the following

information, which is just now of special interest to those who are bent on going to California to seek their fortune: First.-- The Route,--which route by land is the best for the emigrant? Answer.--The route via Independence or St. Joseph, Mo., to Fort Laramie, South Pass, Fort Hall, the Sink of Mary's River, &c. &c., the old route. Let no emigrant, carrying is family with him, deviate from it, or imagine to himself that he can find a better road. This road is the best that has yet been discovered, and to the Bay of San Francisco and the gold region it is much the shortest. The Indians, moreover, on this route, have up to the present time been so friendly as to commit no acts of hostility on the emigrants. The trail plain and good where there are no physical obstructions, and the emigrant by taking this route, will certainly reach his destination in good season, and without disaster, From our information we would most earnest advise all emigrants to take this trail, without which almost invariably have attended those who have undertaken to explore new routes. Second--Wagon and Team.--What kind of wagon and team is preferable? Answer.--The lightest wagon that can be constructed of sufficient strength to carry 2,500 pound weight, is the vehicle most desirable. No wagon should be loaded over this weight, or if it is, it will be certain to stall in the muddy sloughs and crossings on the prairie in the first part of the journey. This wagon can be hauled by three or four yokes of oxen or six mules.--Oxen are usually employed by the emigrants for hauling their wagons. They Travel [sic]about fifteen miles per day, and all things considered, are perhaps equal to mules for this service, although they cannot travel so fast. They are however, less expensive, and there is not so much danger of their straying and of being stolen by the Indians. Pack-mules can only be employed by parties of men. It would be very difficult to transport a party of women and children, on the mules with the provisions, clothing, and other baggage necessary to their comfort. A party of men, however, with pack-mules can make the journney in less time by one month than it can done in wagons, carrying with them, however, nothing more than their provisions, clothing, and ammunition. For parties of men going out, it would be well to haul their wagons, provisions, &c., as far as Fort Laramie or Fort Hall by mules, carrying with them pack-saddle, and alforgases, or large saddle-bags, adapted to the pack-saddle, with ropes for packing, &c., when, if they saw proper, they could dispose of their wagons for Indian ponies and pack into California, gaining perhaps two or three weeks time. Third.--What provisions are necessary to a man? Answer.--The provisions actually necessary per man are as follows: Of flour 150 lbs Of bacon 150 lbs coffee 25 " sugar 30 " Add to these the main items, there should be a small quantity of rice, 50 or 75 pounds of crackers, dried peaches, &c., and a keg of lard, with salt, pepper, &c., with such other luxuries of light weight as the person outfitting chooses to purchase. He will think of them before he starts. Fourth.--What arms and ammunition are necessary? Answer.--Every man should be provided with a good rifle, and if convenient a pair of pistols, five pounds of powder and ten pounds of lead. A revolving belt pistol may be found useful. With the wagon there should be carried such carpenters tools as a handsaw, auger, gimblet, chisel, shaving knife, &c., an ax, hammer and hatchet. This last weapon every man should have in his belt, with a hunter's or bowie knife. Fifth.--What is the length of the journey? Answer.--From Independence to the first settlement in California, which is near the gold region, it is about 2050 miles-to San Francisco, 2290 miles. Sixth.--What are the facts in regard to the statement respecting the gold region? Answer.--The accounts that have been received and published in regard to the wealth and productiveness of the gold mines, and other mines in California, are undoubtedly true. They are derived from the most authentic and reliable sources, and from individuals whose veracity may be undoubtedly beilved [sic]. Seventh.--What could a young man, or a man with a family, with or without a profession do, should he emigrate to California. Answer.--When he arrives there, he must turn his attention to whatever seems to promise the largest recompense for his labor. It is impossible in the new state of things produced by the late discoveries, and the influx of population to forsee [sic] what this might be. The country is rich in agricultural resources, as well as in the precious metals, and with proper enterprise and industry he could scarcely fail to do well Families, as well as parties going out, should carry with them good tents, to be used after their arrival as houses. The influx of population will probably be so great that it will be difficult if not impossible to obtain other shelfter for some time after their arrival. The climate of the country, however even in winter, is so mild that, with good tents, comfort is attainable. They should be careful, also, to carry as much subsistence into the country as they can, as what they purchase there after their arrival, they will be compelled to pay a high price for. Eight.--What is the time for starting? Answer.-- Emigrants should be at Independence, St. Joseph, Mo., or the point of starting, by the 20th April, and start as soon thereafter as the grass on the prairies will permit. This is sometimes by the 1st of May, and sometimes ten days later, according to the season. ----- From New Orleans. NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 6. The deaths by Cholera during the last 24 hours were thirty-six. thirteen of which were in the Charity Hospital, and twenty-three in the city. Eight cases were admitted in the Charity Hospital in the same time. Four Cases of Cholera were reported at Mobile. ----- Cholera in Vicksburgh [sic]. VICKSBURGH, Jan. 9. There were two deaths by Cholera to day, and several new cases were reported. Several cases hare occurred at Grand Gulf, and some at nearly every town and plantation along the river. No cases have yet appeared at Natchez. ----- ----->Green the reformed Gambler, is about to publish a paper in the city of New York, called the National Guard.

One more question is often asked us: What will Congress do about the Lands? Wscan only give our opinion on this head. We believe it will authorize the Executive neither to sell nor release them at the present session, but leave every one free to dig where he pleases, f q that be does not trench npon the rights of another, perhaps imposing a moderate tax on the entire proceeds-say ten percent' to be paid at the Mint in California. In othr words, Congress may require every one, en penalty of confiscation, to bring his gold do cs public lands to the Mint and receive for it, ratH in hand, nine-tenths the quantity of coined gold.
