THE LADIES ARE CoMING.-We are pleased
to see the goodly proportion of ladies that
are constantly arriving in California to bless,
as we hope, with their angel presence, the
lonely homes of thousands of our poor dis
consulate bachelors. God bless them for it ;
for though we are not particular about this
on our own account, yet we like to see others
happy, and surely nothing speaks more favor
ably for happiness and prosperity in Oalifor-
MIA than does the arrival of so many of
the loved ones among us. 1t will not only
be productive of present good but will also
be handed down to pOsterity as blessing at
tributable to nothing so much as to the pres
ence of aciveS and mothers.

STAGE LINE TO MARYsvILLE.-If there is
any line meriting public patronage among
us, it is this, for besides the excellence of
their accommodations and gentlemanly treat
ment of their agents and drivers, the propri-
etors, Messrs. Buckingham & Co. convey our
mails between this and Marysville, free of ex-
pense, either to government or private citi-
zens; and for this they are under no further
obligations than desire to accommodate and
please the public. Such exertions on their
part should meet with a liberal support.

BOLD AND AUDACIOUS ROBBERY.-A CORES
pondent at Rough and Ready has kindly fur
nished us with an interesting account of one
of the boldest and coolest pieces of villainy
which we have yet heard of. Unfortunately,
however, it only arrived in time for us to
give the outlines previous to going to press.
1t appears that three villains had familiatiz-
ed themselves with the business of Mr.. Jacob
E. Johnson, butcher, who occupied cabin by
himself about forty rods from the Anthony
House on Deer Creek. It was known by
these men, who were disguised as negroes,
that Mr.. johnson that day, Qast Tuesday,
made collection Of considerable sum, and
during short absence of Mr.. J. from his
cabin, these men secreted themselves under
the bed; on his return he was seized by them
and bound, when they went deliberately to
their work of plunder. Fortunately the most
of his money had been placed in the hands of
a friend. They however found about $500,
in gold, and carried off a note of hand for
500. After having done this, they cursed
him for not having his bills collected! when
they leisurely departed, not, however, with
out first threatening dire vengeance upon
him if he did not have his cash ready for
them the next time they called.

For the Grass Valley Telegraph.

Now we are severed-the summer flowers,
Shedding their perfume on the balmy air,
Seems like the fondness which in happier hours
Dwelt on thy brow as feeting and as fair
Alas too fair-even now bliss is clinging-
A hopeless bliss-around my whitening heart,
And on my ear thy long-loved voice seems ringing,
Nor can 1 bid the witching tones depart.
Though ever severed, yet unupbraiding
Would live on, and pray thou mightst be blest,
And though the rose upon thy cheek is fading,
Though joy has passed forever from my breast
Yet still love thee, though it is but madness
To think of love-. at such time this
Still I'd not change my bosoms lonely sadness
For all this world could offer me of bliss

COMMENCEMENT OF THE RAINY SEASON.
The rainy season has commenced in earnest
in Oregon. The Spectator, of the 18th, says
For the last few days very large quantity

BILE order. The steamer Wallamet cleared
yesterday for Marysville with a heavy load

assistance, on her upward trip yesterday
The Clackamas river rose very suddenly on

the town is very much interrupted by the
bad condition of the roads, the usual concom-

capital from Salem to Marysville during the
coming winter.
Through Adams & Co. we have received
the Oregon Statesman, from which we learn
that the Indians are till troublesome in the
