New STAGE LINE TO SoNoRs.-Mr
Green, formerly owner Of the "Opposi-
4 ton Line" Of stages from Sacramento to
Auburn, has started new line from

of friend g., should ensure him success.
Travellers by this route can now travel
from the head of Sacramento Valley,
(Shasta) to Mariposa in stages, thus; =
From Shasta to Marysvile, thence to
Auburn, from Auburn to Sacramento, and
from there to Sonora, and from Sonora to
Mariposa.
This line viii he of great accomoda-
ton to the public, and will no doubt be
well patronized by travellers. No line

rESS In hurried trip we made to
Sacramento a few days since, we found
the city in very muddy condition, and
business very dull But with ali these
drawbacks we still found her business men
POSSESSED with the same sold courage. :"
The determination seems to be firm with
them that Sacramento shall be so mprov-
ed during the coming summer, that high
. water will not cut her off and almost sus-
bend her business as it has done hereto
fore.
The indomitable determination Of the
citizens of Sacramento should be locke
upon with pride by every true Californian.
. Against a thousand difficulties are they
struggling ilndismayed, The fire swept
away their homes, and the water came as
If to drown the very rubbish the fire king
had left, but still tie citizens are uncon-
quered and undismayed. They have
again bdiIt their city and again are they
striving to secure it permanently from in
undation-and they seW do st.-Fire and
flood cannot conquer them.
With the raising and planking Of the
streets to the city limits Sacramento will
be secure from the Inconvenience under
which she has had to labor. This will
be done this summer.
f AAd while this is being done the citizens
of Placer county intend going to work
upon the Plank Road between Auburn
and the Placer county line, making such
= Improvements as the road requires for
winter, such as bridges, sc. The appli-
cation would have been presented 10 the
court at the present sessoln, but the requi-
site amount of per centage had not been
paid in on the capital stock subscribed.
1t is the intention to make the application
at the next term Of court. In two years
this road can be completed and when
that time rolls around Sacramento will
be as as "good as new"

such other probable Sums rs will accrue
from the sale of lands during the present
year will amount to about $22 ,00O, leav-
ing for distribution on the 1st Cf January,
1854, the sum of S50,00O.
BY the report it appears that there are
in this State between the ages of and Is
years, 1891 white children, and the num-
ber ot scholars in attendance is placed at
3,Sl4, and the amount expended for teach
ers salaries $2l 1853 AZ. The amount of

For the Placer Herald.

Behold Judgment is turned away back
ward and Justice standeth afar off, and
Equity hath fallen in the streets Of Placer
county. SCRIPTURE (amost).
Such, no doubt, must have been the
feelings and convictions Of the Grand
Jury when they made their report, pub
lished in the last Herald.
The people of Placer county must be
somewhat alarmed when they learn, thro'
the Grand Jury, of the awful state Of af-
fairs that exist in relation to our Justices
of the Peace in and for Placer county. |
understand that the aforesaid Grand jury
had particular reference to inc, and take
this opportunity Of saying to the atorc-
said Grand Jury that had they acted upon
the instructions of the Court, of which
the undersigned is member, they would
not have jumped at conclusions from out
door talk, and publish the scandalous and
false report that they did. In brief, let me
say, that as far as their Report refers to
me as imputing to me corruption in my
official capacity it is false and sanderous,
and | defy them to show anything to the
contrary. ii. A. SCOFiELD,
Justice of the Peace,
