THE SHASTA ScHooL.-We are glad to learn
that The school in this place bids fair soon to be
in tiourishing condition. 1t was opened on
Monday last by Mr.. Whitten. the teacher, with
sixteen scholars. AS there are greatly more
than double this number of children in the town
and vicinity, we hope in a few weeks to hear
that his school has doubled its present size. Mr.
Whitten is fully qualified for the important po-
sition of teacher. and we earnestly desire to see
him literally encouraged. Ample provision has
been made by the Commissioners for the pay
ment of all charges for the schooling of children
whose parents do not feel themselves able to
bear the expense. We trust, therefore, that
such persons will not permit feeling of false
delicacy keep their children from Mr. Whtten's
school

Several companies from the Plains arrived In
the Sacramento Valley, over Mobiles Route DUR
the week. Mr.. Thomas S. Pinckard, a young
printer from Alton, Illinois, informs us that he
came through in company whose movements
were directed by Capt. Smith. OF the same place.
The following persons constituted Capt. Smith
company, all. we believe, hailing from Alton:-
Can't. Smith, wife and two children, Henry G.
OFT, John Wagner. John Cradick, Wm White,
wife and niece, John Broughton, wife and two
children, and Thomas s. Pinckard. They left
Old Fort Kearny on the 22d Of March, and arri
we'd in this Valley on Monday the sth inst, all,
we understand i'll excellent health.
Mr. Pinckard informs us that the emigration
generally made the trip this year without any
great amount of suffering, and with but little mo-
lestation from Indians. The stock made thetrip
in excellent condition until it arrived the
Humboldt, when it commenced failing, and
when MIR. p. leftthat river, the cattle were dying
in great numbers with disease called the bloody
murrain.
The traders who went out to the Humboldt
for the purpose of purchasing stock, met with
very poor success, the emgranis generally refus
ing to sell, except such animals as were almost
worn down with the fatigues of the trip. Ami
mails in good condition could not be procured at
anything less than California prices.
Several gentlemen. returned Calilornans, just
arrived over the Noble Route, pronounce it the
best road through the Sierra Nevada, being
abundanty supplied with grass, water and wood
the entire way.
In Honey Lake Valley, lying at the eastern
foot of the mountains, there were some four or
FIVE hundred Indians engaged in gathering
kind of wild rye, which was there growing in
the greatest abundance. They were rather quiet
through fear, it is presumed however, as they
had made some unfriendly demonstrations to-
ward one train, and were only deferred from
violence by the rifles of the emigrants.
