certainly are well executed, ana we are in
formed by those who crossed the plains that
they are true sketches Of the scenes they rep
resent
By seeing this, one can form some idea Of
the general appearance Of those wild noun
tain scenes, and barren wastes which are met
with on this route without being exposed to
the tolls and hardships incident to such a
long and tedious journey, some of which are
well represented by the views given of the
weary and toil-worn emigrant as he journeys
up the rugged mountain sides, or vainly urg-
es his starving cattle to proceed on their way.
We understand it was well patronized at Ne
Vada, where it has been exhibited the present
week. Success to projectors.

Sentiments join man to man opinions di-
vide them. The former are elementary and
concentrate; the latter are composite and
scatter. The friendships of youth are found
ed on sentiment the dissensions of age re-
suit from opinion. If we could know this at
an early age-if, in forming our own mode of
thought, we could acquire liberal view
OF that of others, and even of those that are
opposed to others-we should then be more
tolerant, and endeavor to reunite by senti-
ment what opinion divided and dispersed.

We publish to-day another correspondence
on the subject of schools. 1t seems that some
of our citizens have been much mistaken in
the duties and powers of the School Commits
sioners. Some say, "why did not they attend
to getting the dividend due this district out
of the State appropriation of last year, and
build Schoolhouse with part of the money
and devote the remainder to paying teach
er?n
In answer to these questions, we quote part
of the 4th and the 7th sections of the School
law of California.
Sec. 4. 'No School District shall be en-
titled to any portion of the Common School
moneys, in which there shall not have been
taught, by legally qualified Teacher,
Common School for three months, within the
year ending on the last day of October, and
one half of the compensation of said Teach
er paid by the inhabitants of said district.
Sec. 7. "The School moneys distributed
to the various counties of this State from
the State School Fund, shall not be used for
any other purpose than the payment of the
salaries of qualified Teachers under this Act;
and no portion of said fund shall either di-
rectly or indirectly be paid for the erection
of school houses, the use of school rooms,
furniture or any other contingent expenses
of Common Schools"
From the above it will be seen that in or
der to draw our share of the appropriation Of
next year, there must be school conducted
three months previous to the 1st of Novem-
Der, (Which is the commencement of the
School year,) under the supervision of the
School Commissioners; the teacher having
certificate from the same.
In the 7th Section it will be seen that no
part of the public funds can be appropriated
to building Schoolhouse. Hence it be-
hooves those who wish to have aSchoolhouse
to lay their shoulder to the wheel, and con-
tribute their proportion of the money requi-
site for putting up building, and see that
school is thus organized in time to secure our
share of the State fund which will be ready
for distribution in January next.

Iowa HILL, May 8th, 1854.
DEAR EDITORS TELEGRAPH Permit an
humble individual to say few words about
Iowa HILL 1t is place built on hill, and
has sprungup like Jonah's Gourd, as it were
in night. 1t contains some fifty buildings
put up during the past two months, stretch
ing along its one street some quarter of a
mile; some are good two story frame build
ings, utupin Estates" style, and others Cali
tornia houses The first Stage Coach came
in on Sunday last by way of Michigan Bluffs
to which place understand there is to be a
daily line. Excitement reigns here supreme.
The grand Moving Panorama visited our
place last week, and the pavilion was crowd
ed to suffocation. A musical troup, circus,
or other travelling companies would meet
with good success if they would pay us Wis
it. l have for the last few days been look
ing over those far-famed Hills of Iowa and
Richardson's and the mines upon them-and
l can but say that they are richer and more
extensive than in my utmost imagination I
had anticipated. AS far as worked, they
prove rich in the extreme. The big claim of
the Jamlson Company to which all turn their
steps on their arrival here-is still yielding
its yellow metal by the painful. Other
claims adjoining have prospected upwards of
eighty dollars to the pan-and others STILL
prospect nearly as WELL Opposite to the
above, and on the other side of town are nu-
merous other claims which pay well, and tun-
nels and cuts are piercing the hill on all
sides. Following up the divide between In
dian Canon and the American-about one
mile, is Independence Hill, rival town to
Iowa; here again are numerous diggings just
struck and being opened still further up the
divide at the head of the cafon is a great
place of excitement during the past week
rich leads have been struck and miners are
sta king off claims in every direction.

pLEs.-The article Of milk In com
merse is very scarce commodity at
this particular season. Coffee, by an
ingenious chemical process has been
condeuced and solidifod into cakes
like chocolate !; and by this discovery,
one may imbibe the luxurious beverage
anywhere, that warm water can be
had. But "milk" cannot be delt with
in this manner; it1oiW turn TO cream,
and clabber, and afterwards, by fer
mentation give out into the desert
waste Of atmosphere, all its sweet prin-
ciples. In the summer months milk
is plenty, because all tho "rumegant7
tribes, are milk generating apperatuses
and the raw materials, are plenty,
but in the winter---it is not so; and
that portion Of the worlds population
who rise early, shiyering with the cold
before the world has got into its
breeches, miss smoking cup Of hot
coffee, because the "cows hav'nt come
up" We don't complain ON this
score, but another, and our complaint
is based upon the fact, that milk can
not be made, either out of chalk or
Magnesia. And oh ye miserable
sinners who thus drug the only bev-
erage Of early risers, tremble, for when
you come to your latter end, it will be
too late to repent this iniquity. We
have no interest in this matter save
zone cup" All we ask Of the world
before the sun gets up in the morning,
is single cup Of unadulterated coffee
on Christian principles. Ha
