THE NEWS FROM CALIFORNIA.

The latest accuunisirom California are gratifying
10 the friends Of the emigrants. The country it.
self independent Of its gold. seems to possess many
advantages and trust that the desires Of adyen-
turers in search Of gold dust will be moderated and
that other employments will be found TO yield a
proper reward for labor.
Il seems, from the letters of Mr.. Freaner to the
New Orleans .Pieayune, that the difficulties Of a
passage across the Isthmus Of Panama are BY no
means so great as formerly represented. Mr. F.
thinks good road can be made across, no, exceed
ing IS miles. This being the case, the immense
and ioilsome overland route will not hereafter be
preferred.
We hope soon to hear some cheering iidings from
our company Of hardy adventures.

\ The rapid growth of the Night Schools of tia
Second Municipality, is a subject of much con.
| graduation. Since our lest notice, lthe numbers
have doubled. TheFeare 6ne hundred and seventy
six on the roll. OF these, one hundred and fifty
four are ia attendance. This is gratifying e1hi-
bit aud should the same interest continue-and
there is ground Tor believing that it will increase,
as the advantages of the schools. are made known
more widely to our ciizens-we are given to under
stand that the term which expires in April will be
protracted month or two. The Board of School
Directors would doubtless make every exe1tion to
,keepopen, long as possible, the beneftsof in
struction which are so well appreciated.
Two more teachers have been added since our
last notice. The teachers now are Mr.. James
Blackman, Principal; Msssrs. Kelly, Burton, Du-.
pay and Halloran, Assistants
We mentioned, some weeks ago, as a subject of
regret, that only one of the numerous corps Of.
newspaper boys in this ciiy was pupil in the
school. Since that time The number of admissions
has been twenry.four There seems 20 have been
a sudden spirit Of emulation among them, for of
this number twenty-five have been admitted within
the last three nights. D..
While commenting this school again and again
to parents and guardians we must repeat one
caption-that they should look carefully after their
charges, and see that they duly attend. There is
a great tendency, among the new scholars esrs-
elaiiy,i TO playTuanL or loiier on The way, which
needs the Interference of discipline. The Pripcj.
pal would be ready to confer with parents who
would call upon him, and compare notes, with a
view Of .ensuring the best progress and the best
department among the scholars. 3.
