RAILROAD TERMINUS.

The editor of the Nevada Journal, writ
ing from Sacramento in reference to the re-
Gently organized Railroad Company, says:
g The idea of Grass Valley terminus has
a Grass Valley parentage, if am not mista-
ken, and comes from a gentleman who is able
probably to subscribe several O's to the road.
Having temporary interest in Grass Val
ley, and said interest being best subserved
by representing that pretty village as the on
ly point of Importance in the State, he has
succeeded in convincing his compeers in the
road, that natural causes and business inter
est forbid Nevada as the terminus"
The fling in the above extract, at citizen
of this village who has taken some interest
in the Railroad question, is both unjust and
ungenerous, and evinces the old leaven of
sectional jealousy that cannot be kept from
rising to view whenever Grass Valley is
mentioned. We speak advisedly when we
state that the idea has no parentage at Grass
Valley, but was the proposition of the Presi-
dent of the Company as aU0s knoa071 to the
editor when he penned the remark. If an
expenditure, on the part of the gentleman
alluded to, Of over 500, 900 constitutes but
temporary interest" in Grass Valley,
what is the EDITORS interest in Nevada City,
based upon printing establishment worth
$4,000, of which he is reputed to own one
half?
If the interests of a Railroad Company will
be best subserved by having it's mountain ter
minus at Grass Valley. it is not for US to
complain. If ever a road is constructed, and
few events IN future we look upon as more
certain to happen, it MUST come to Grass Val
ley And if it be thereafter deemed advisa-
BILE to attempt to overcome a grade of near
ly $50 feet to the mile (from Deer Creek Di-
vide to Nevada,) for the additional benefit
to the road (Which is problem) we have no
objection whatever. The Gress Valley gen
tleman will probably subscribe as many O's
with as big numeral before them as the edi-
tor Of the Journal.

"GOOD ORDER.N

The communication over this signature, in
our columns to-day, discusses matter which
should receive the earnest attention Of such
of our citizens as desire to see effected those
improvements in the moral tone Of society,
without which, California will never be fit
persons. It is the strange phase that human
nature assumes in this country.-that of the
metamorphoses from sober, industrious, care
fully nurtured and honest men, in the Attain
tic States to the lawless, drunken, profane
and unprincipled in California. which has so
weakened faith in Uirtue in the minds of good
citizens, and strengthened the belief in total
depraUity.
And yet, we incline to regard much. or
most Of the evil practices so unblushingly in
dulged in here, as rather the result of houeht-
lessness than of malicious dispositions ON the
part of the disOrderly. The absence of law.
of public opinion, and Of the restraints I'M
posed by the domestic hearth, are the fruitful
causes Of the thousand vicious practices. and
Irregularities, hitherto and still so rife in our
midst Could these young men, now so rea-
dy to engage in evil doings, be placed within
the blessed influences Of HOME, with loving
parents, and affectionate sisters to gently lead
them in the paths of virtue, which are paths
of peace, how magical would be the change.
And could these misguided young men but
reflect that their indulgence in evil habits and
lawless acts of violence, directly tend to
bring disgrace and misery upon themselves,
and bow the heads of parents and relatives in
sorrow to the DUST we do think they would
pause, ere they further pursued course as
dishonorable to their manhood, as it is de-
structive Of the best interests of society.
The practice spoken of is disreputable to
Grass Valley, and would be "more honored
in the breach than in the observance"
Grass Valley telegraph., 1853-10-27

could furnish to a Railroad, in freight and
travel, would pay ten per cent per annum on
its entire cost; and this is but part of
what the roadwould command.-No estimate
of receipts, founded upon the present popu-
lation and business of Railroad to Nevada,
gives less than $4,000 per day Freight
equal to Is tons per day comes into Nevada
County, costing $50 per ton. or a total of
nearly $4,000 per day. On Railroad, the
cost would be reduced to $40, giving $1,000
per day, and larger sum would be realized
for down freight of lumber &c. The travel
is now very great, and would be increased
four-fold with the present population.
Let US have Railroad, for such means
of communication is a necessity of the age
To meet the wants of the Northern mining
counties, road located in any other direc-
tion than Grass Valley and Nevada, would
be a failure. But one road wanted-let us
not lose that one by want Of concentration
upon the best project to secure the end sought
for. We shall recur to this subject again.

QUARTZ MINING.

One of these days, Messeurs, the Public, al
home and abroad, will become convinced that
quartz mining is not so much Of " humbug'
as the ignorant and prejudiced have been SC
eloquent in proclaiming, g,-While doubt, dis
aster, and dismay have followed the efforts Of
the quartz pioneers during the past two OF
three years, ONE spot in California has kept
alive the fire upon the altar of hope-till
fruition rewards the patient labors and sacri-
fees of the quartz miners; and that favored
spot is GRASS VALLEY.
There are fewer mills in operation at this
time, in our town, than in times past but
such as have been carried through the day Oh
experiment and trial, now begin to exhibit
the pleasing evidences Of due reward to
merit and enterprise.
During the past week several of the mills
report large yields, but this is with them no.
thing new or strange. The Empire Com
pany," in ten hours work, took from seven
teen tons of rock quarried on Cincinnati Hill
1889, equal to sos to the ton The "Hel-
vetia and Lafayette Company" in eight
hours working, took out 1881 90. And these
figures give fair indication of the regular
yield of the ores now being crushed at the
above mills.
1t has never been question as to the ulti-

SUNDAY IN GRASS VALLEY.

SUNOA1 LIN OhASO VALLEY.
The day of rest, when the physical energies
of man are recuperated, when after a week
of toll, the human frame gains strength, and
power to continue the labor of life with new
vigor, when the brain, over-exercised by con-
stant application through the busy week re-
lakes its incessant workings, and seeks in re-
pose that rest which is necessary for it's we'll
being, and fits it for continued exertion, when
the miner, the merchant, the grocer, the ban
ker-can throw from his mind the cares of
the busy world, and pay his devotions to
God, or recruit his physical energies by ne
cessary relaxation, for renewed exertion in
acquiring an honest competence for old age
for the labor of the coming week. But is
such the case with us? Is it in fact day of
rest? Look around. With but four honora-
BILE and meritorious exceptions, viz: Messrs.
Marshal Co.,-Crum-Dea & Morehouse,
and Sponord, the stores are all open, sell
ling as many or more goods than on any day
during the week; the saloons are thronged
with customers dispensing liquor at their bars
as usual the Express offices are busy in buy
ing dust, and selling bills of Exchange Min
ers throng the streets, making purchases, sell

GOLD DISCOVERY An ROuND TENT

OOLO D1OSON Eli L Al ROUND TENT.
Mr.. EDITOR Within the last few weeks
considerable attention has been directed. to
the section OF Country in the vicinity of the
Round Tent House, on the Sacramento road,
about 20 miles below this place. Upon Wis
iting the ground, we found that mining had
been done since 1850, and that the ground
had paid WELL but in consequence of the scar
city OF water, that but little work had been
done.
We also found that ditch was being con-
structed by the Rock Creek and Far West
Water Co., which when completed will afford
some 80 sluice heads of water. This ditch is
under the management of Mr.. Thrasher who
has been mining in that section of country.
for the last three years. We learned that
some OF our Grass Valleyans are also con-
nected with the ditch company Messrs Chol-
lar, Fouse, Hughes and Hathaway.
There is also another company formed, who
have located a water right upon Bear River,
and are now engaged in surveying their
ditch, which when completed, the two bitches
Will supply the country for five miles about
the Round Tent, as cOpiously with water, as
any other section in the State. We pros
pected and found excellent prospects for
sluicing. We think however that the ground
upon the Plains, for FIVE miles below the
Round Tent will pay as well, if not better
than the ravines in the immediate vicinity of
the 'Round Tent"
Take the whole ground together. and we
have not seen better prospects for extensive
and good diggings any where in the State.
We were amused while soiourning at the
"Tent," at the conduct of some of our Grass
Valley boys, who were engaged in stalking.
We saw one party of four, among whom was
one stake driver and one stake sharpener. las
we supposed from the fact of two bearing
axes.) Andwe are told they staked off about
900 claims, notwithstanding the laws of the
place expressly say mo one man shall hold
over one claim by location
The stalking off so many claims, Will avail
them nothing, for in their greediness to hold
all, they may loose all. Gentlemen "let
your moderation be known among all men,
especially in the taking up of mining claims
The Gold in this vicinity is coarse. pure,

TEMPERANCE.

Mn. EDIroR =
Permit me through tho
columns Of your valuable paper, to
say few words on this subject.
Temperance has been the theme
Of every school boys essay; every
fourth Of July address touches IN
Temperance, aud in fact speech in
these modern times cannot bc made
without giving Temperance pull !;
so tIa, as some persons vulgarly say,
very little meat has been left on the
bone. The fact is. Mr.. Editor, times
arc changed now from what they used
to be. Formerly very little was said
on Temperance aud still less was
,lono, but now great deal is said, hut
as yet action does not come up to tho
preccpt.
This, sir, is cmphnticnlly an age of
progress, and there is no reason that
while every thingis progressing IN

Our citizens sec the Importance of

their sons and daughters may be edu-
Gated, of instilling habits of industry
and economy into,lieir minds, and yet
are not fully awake to the Importance
of assisting in this great reformation
and banishing n ascourgc and curse to
our beloved country. All admit In
temperance to be an evil, but yet do
not use active means for suppressing
it. Why cannot our citizens come
