March 9th. 1859.


In the last issue of the Journal, in
tended to call your attention to the
Sabbath School Celebration,in in this place
on Sunday last the goth inst. but think
ing that this would be done by some one
better acquainted, and more intimately
associated with this department of the
moral and religious education Of our
sierra children, than myself it was neg
lccted.
The interest and Importance of the
subject however, and its pertinency to
the obligations we owe to ourselves, cur
children, and the destinies of California,
will not render notice of it at present,
ever out Of time.
The Sabbath School in this place, has
been in operation for more than a year.
At first it was constituted Of but few
children, at present there are about sew
enty-fve, ranging from four to eighteen
years of age.
The celebration was fully attended by
the children, and the church was filled
to overAowing with the fathers, moth
ers, ladies and gentlemen of our delight
full valley, whose countenances exhibit
ed with strength which language is
incapable, those feelings of heightened
admiration and pleasure, that are ever
engendered in the heart, by the con
temptation, the pure, the lovely and
beautiful have never seen at any
Juvenile celebration, a number of which
have had the pleasure Of attending in
the Eastern States so large proportion
of peculiarly beautiful and intelligent
looking children ; the same was observ-
ed likewise, by number of spectators
can account for this in no way, than
that these children find their parentagc
in the adventurers of California =; that
NAV be remarked without controversion,
the most daring, enterprising and vigor-
ous race of men that now live on the
earth.
The children were examined in Bibli-
cal History, Morals and Religion, and
frequently entertained the audience
with wc.l-timcd songs. they all answer

ed in concert, us they have been Learned
to do, and showed an amount of acquire
ment, readiness and capacity, that wa:
no less remarkable than gratifying. A
salutatory address was delivered by Q
little boy six years old, in simple
clear and distinct manner.
In illustration Of the capacity CT chill
dren, it may be mentioned, that little
girl, not twelve years old committed in
space of three weeks, 93S verses in the
New Testament another the same age
S65 ; one boy committed 920, and a lit
tie boy not yet seven years old, unable
to read at all, committed % The
whole school committed 4,G5l verses.
The Valedictory was pronounced by
a boy II years old, well prepared little
address, and was delivered in manner
SO highly Evolutionary and tasteful, with
regard to emphasis, intonation and in
fiction, as scarcely to be equalled BY
many adults, who set themselves up as
public speakers.
The Rev. Mr. Simmons, q young di-
vine, sent here under the patronage Of
the Nj. E. Church south, is the Superin-
tendent, and moving spirit in this
school. He is exceedingly apt in pleas
ing and instructing children, and as an
educationist and preacher, has justly
earned the support, good will, and affec
tions of our people.
The children and audience were ad-
dressed in an appropriate and interesting
manner, by Rev. Messrs Dryden and
Simmons, after which Col. S. c. Rich
ardsen, on the part of the community,
proposed vote of thanks, to the Super
intendent and Teachers Of the School,
for the good they were accomplishing
and the able, efficient and successful
manner in which they had conducted
their instruc tions. Mr. Simmons respon-
ded, after which the children re-arrang-
ed themselves in procession, were follow
ed in order by the audience to the place
whence they formed here they were
disbanded, ,and borne away on their little
feet, some with their brothers and sis
ters, some with their happy fathers and
others led by the gentle hands of their
mothers, each cherished in its tender
breast pleasing reminiscence that will
be delight, and solaco in maturity
and old age.
God bless such children ! may they
grow up in virtue, and when We shal
have long since been dead, may they
have the will and the power to contend
earnestly and successfully, for those
principles which are the .impregnable
bulwarks of liberty and religion, and the
happiness and glory of our free Repub-
lie. MoKAL.
