AUBURN AND SHASTA LINE OF STAGES.
Bob Woodward, who, by the bye, is a
clever Bob, and typo at that, commences
running his stages daily, next week, be-
tween Auburn and Marysvile. At the
latter place he will connect with Hall &
CrandalI's line for Shasta. Thus persons
going from Auburn, can start in the NOR
ming and the morning following be in
Shasta. Fare through $25 90.
This arrangement will be great ad-
vantage to the travelling public and es-
pecialiy to those who intend going to the
northern mines this season.

Take white or red lead, mix it with oil,
and rub ita few times on the part diseas-

Lauravile, few days ago, a present of
some ripe strawberries. They were of a
delicious flavor, and some Of them very
large. Friend G., sends us word that his
raspberries will be ripe in few days.
Now here is something for those Cali
fornians to think about, who are in the
habit of complaining that they can't make
anything in this country.
Mr.. g., went on to the land he now
occupies in January last. made his garden,
fenced it, set his plants and has ripe
strawberries by the 4th Of May, besides
having quite nursery under way, and
peas, beans, cabbages, heets, &C., Sc, all
growing luxuriantly, and from which he
will derive some ten or fifteen hundred
dollars during the summer. Now young

LEGIsLArivE.-On Monday last Mr. i
McMeans, of El Dorado, offered in the
House the following resolution, which
was laid on the table:
Whereas, Common rumor has informed
lis that the Government of Mexico has
not hesitated to violate the solemn treaty
entered into with the United States, at
Guadaloupe HidaIgo, on the 2nd day of
February, lS4S: And whereas through
the same channel we have learned that
the military Governor of New Mexico
(Gen. Lane,) has seized upon certain
lands in dispute between the two high
contracting parties, and from hence a
speedy war between those powers; there
fore,
Resolved, That a committee of three
be appointed to draft Joint Resolution or
a Bill, authorizing certain persons to or
ganze ten companies of mounted men,
without expense to the State, and grant
ing them the right to repair to a spot
within and near the line of the State,
where it touches the river Gila, there to
remain as long as they may choose at
their own cost, or until requiSiton shall
have been made upon this State for troops
in the event of a WAR with Mexico.

ARRIVAL OF THE PANAMA AND

We are indebted to Wells, Fargo s.

papers in advance of the mail
The news Ivy this mail is interesting
and important. Presidents Pierce and
Cabinet were still busy at work, making
appointments. Vice President King was
to have left Cuba on the 9th of April, for
Mobile. His health was poorand he was
not expected to live long
This arrival brings the news of the
death of Mrs. Fillmore, Mrs. Gen. Cass,
and the Hon. Thomas A. Marshall. The
latter was murdered Ivy one of his tenants
near MaysviIle, KY. MIR. NJ, was Brig

.Y- We think it rather unfortunate
that the name of PIacerviIle Herald has
been adopted for the new paper in that
place. We have now SIX Heraltis in he
State, and two of them so nearly alike in
name-Piacer and Pacervlle Herald
that to strangers there must be frequent
confounding of identity. We think if it
be not too late, the adoption of the Golden
Sun, or the Eureka News, or the Placer
vile Sentinel, would be much more ap-
propriate. We hope we will not be con-
>idered as intermeddling with matters that
do not belong to us, by making this sug-
gestion. If the above should not suit,
different combinations of the same might
he tred--as, for instance, the Eureka SEN
tinel, Placerville Sun, or Golden News.
