Grass Valley Correspondent ce.
Grass Valley, July 81, 1853.
The fact that you have so able ant
piquant correspondent in this village, as
my-and especially the ladies' esteemed
friend Pike" has kept me from often
venturing to offer you unconsidered trlties
from nv nibless, worn out PEN In sober
prose. or in the regions of fancy, there is
little left but to follow the example of
lovely Ruth-to CLEAN in well garnered
field. but with no considerate Boaz to COM
mand the reapers to leave some stray
sbeaves as reward to the diligent
cleaner.
The sultry heat of a midsummer day,
unrelieved by the shower of the morning,
consisting of few hundred drops would
certainly render the labor Of writing i'm
possible. were it not that the advent of the
the divine Lola has stirred the inmost soul
of Grass Valley, waking from lethargy
those in whom Gabriels horn would fail to
evolve a sign of life. The echo of the
tempest occasioned by so august presence,
could be heard last evening through the
bounds of our lovely berg, drowning even
the clatter of the eternal StdmperS: and to-
night-well, sufficient it is that we enjoy
the good the gods send US, and not anti
cipate the greater blessings yet in store
for us, the humble worshipers Of the beau
tiful in Nature and Art.
Do YOU remember how "lang syne," tit
is three months, is it not !? l had the tenn
erity to call in question the honesty of
Marysville in regard to the plank road en-
terprise, saying that we of Nevada had
been fooled with nicely arranged game of
bluff? What do you think now of that
big-souled city, situated at the head of
navigation? After realizing heavy pro-
fit, in the advance in price of real estate
equal at least to the cost of the road-the
public spirited citizens of Marysville, cave
in leaving the unsophisticated people of
Nevada in state of wonder at the adj
droitness of the play.
Would you believe it? Yes, for yo1r
"unbelief' always stuck out far enough to
hang your hat on-after sending up two
honorable deputations, and giving US a
list of subscribers, ready and able to
pongala dotcn the brads at call, to the
amount of 100000, as stimulus to our
efforts after all this, and after the exhibi-
ton of unusual spirit and courtery on the
memorable 18th of June, what sum do you
suppose the patriotic citizens of Marysville
put down, when asked bona fde under
legal organization You can't guess, in
ten times so to save time will tell you.
On dit that the leading merchant whose
name is on the Buncombe subscription for
$4,000, with an understood pledge to
double the sum, if necessary to the success
of the Road, in a spirit of true Marysville
liberality put down S5000-and after a
month of travail, this gentleman stands
SOLITARY and alone" on the commissioners
books Don't you think the prospects fol
road to Marysville are particularly bril-
liant-and is not Marysville model city
with commercial honor, and indonita6t
energy seldom witnessed in so youthful
town? Go to; let no one hereafter doubt
any pledges made by the great rival o
Sacramento.
Permit me to congratulate the public 0
