Teae indebted to Wells, Fargo &
Co. for the .S.ote Journal Of Saturday. 1t
is the only Sacramento paper we have re-
ceived this week. We clip the following
items
We learn the Fireman Of the city intend
giving ball on The Oath of November. 1t
will probably take place at the Orleans.
We learn that:a miner named Russell,
was robbed Friday night at place called
the Orleans Bar, on J street of some thirty
two ounces of gold dust.
LEvELs.-From observation made by
gentleman in this city on Friday, we learn
that the surface of the water in the Sacra-
mento river opposite K street, is but thir-
teen feet above the level Of the sea. The
new grade of K street is thirty-nine feet.
An unusually large number of persons
arrived in town on Friday, in steamboats, and
stages. The population of this city will
undoubtedly be increased some two or three
thousand this winter, as miners who are
unable to work their claims during the
rainy season, can live at much less expense
in this city than country.
Miners usually have two setts OF claims,
and work the dry diggings in wet weather,
after leaving the rivers.
CHnDREN.-The Marshal appointed by
the School Commissioners to take the CEN
sus of all children between the ages OF
four and twenty-eight years, has completed
his task and will make report In few
days. We learn that the number entered
ON his census returns is about 800. A
small number of whom are attending pri-
vats schools at great expense, but the lar
ger portion growing up in shameful igno-
rance. We are gratihed to see that the
matter of public education is beginning to
excite considerable interest among our cit.
izens. 1t has been too long neglected.

s@. Several sluice companies are await
ing the arrival of water to sluice into Wet
Hill on the cayote range. They have BIAS
ted their way several hundred feet through
solid granite, and laid down their fumes.
This hill has been remarkable rich, but as
its name portends, is too wet for extensive
cayoting. The proposed method will take
off the whole hill to the bed rock, in the
manner the hills farther northeast have
been served.

EASTERN AFFAIRs.-The intelligence brought
by the Canada is nothing more definite as to
the actual state of affairs between Turkey and
Russia than that which has already reached rs
Matters still bore q threatening appearance, but
there was nothing at all more decisive about
them.
| The combined fleets of England and France
had, indeed passed the Dardenelles, and pro-
ceeded up the straits, anchored off Constantine
pie and this would, under ordinary circumstsn-
ces, be pregnant sign ofimmediate impending
hostilities. But this appearance is to degree
removed by the assertion of the necessity OF
having efficient protection at hand against the
fury Of the Musselmen war party being the
cause of the advanced squadron. And this may
be so but, if it is, fortuitous circumstances
have given the allies of Turkey most fortunate
opportunity of placing themselves in position
of coordinate advantage with that which Rus
sia has assumed to her disadvantage in the
principalities, without necessarily implying
anything hostile to Russia by the movement.
1t is not disguised however, that serious ap.
prehensions are felt that final settlement ol
the difficulties will prove matter not of easy
or speedy accomplishment.

Road over the cascade NIOuntalns.

We regret that the twenty thousand dol
lars appropriated by Congress at its late
session for the construction of a military road
from Fort Steilacoom 10 Walla-walla, will
not be expended during this season, and
probably not even touched upon before July
or August, so that we cannot look for any
early benefit thcrefrom But we should not
despair. The road will be wanted late in
the summer, and we can do much towards Il
if we will only TRY. What say you, iel-
low-citzens Let us all put our shoulders
to the wheel, and amid a general hurrah,
make one grand effort in this important mat
ter. Late advices from the States say I" an
immense throng will cross the plains the
present year "-and our word for it, many
thousands will come 10 WASHINGTON, If
they oan gel here. 1t is our duty to them
to the country and to ourselves 10 open the
way. Let us not by an unjustifable, aye,
criminal inertness, neglect to do everything
in our power.
We can raise means enough to perform
the heaviest labor necessary on the route,
and admit line of light between the two
exuemities.' The advancing immigrants
will do the remainder and make the road
passable. TO the work, men! Time flies /:
we have none to lose-sll necessary prelim-
inaries should be Immediately arranged, and
in less than thirty days the work be going
on. 1t is proposed that contributions be
made, and we learn that subscription papers
are about being put in circulation, whereOn
our fellOw-citizens may inscribe their names,
to their own great future profit. We invite
the attention Of every one 10 this matter
Give your names and your dollars. Now
is the time TO act. Let there be no more
talk-too much has already been lost by

ject, set your faces against it and-dODn

greatest hopes depend upon the construction
