The Alta says: "For the information
Of members Of the First Regiment Of
N. Y. Volunteers, who expected that
a bill would have been passed at the late
session Of Congress, placing them on an
equal footing with the Navy, to whom
double pay was granted, at the previous
session, up to the close of the war, we
would state that the bill was not re-
ported by tie Senate Committee to
whom it was referred, and therefore did
not come before Congress after the re-
ference Of the petition claiming the APP
preparation. Not only on account Of
the precedent, but as matter ofjustiee,
the appropriation should have been
made, and it will probably be urged
again at the coming session."

TROUBLE AMONG THE ODD FELLOWS.
A good deal Of feeling has been engen-
dered in the ranks of the Odd Fellows
in New York, by a misunderstanding
between the Grand Lodge and the Polar
Star Lodge. The latter, it appears
failed to comply with an order issued by
the Grand Lodge. The result was
that the delinquent branch Of the Order
was expelled, and their regalia, together
with both public and private property,
seized by some person unknown, and
removed beyond their reach. A search
warrant was issued and the property
found in safe in Odd Fellows Hall, the
key of which was in possession Of the
Grand Master. The matter is to be set
tied by the law.-Boston Journal.

A CHINESE BATH.-It consists of
three apartments, in one of which tn
bather undresses, bathes in the next, and
lounges smoking on the benches, in an
unembarrasscd state of nudity in the
third. As it is towards evening, they
belong mostly to the lower classes, and
look quite as filthy after the bath as be-
fore. The water is not changed through
out the day, und its appearance and
condition may perhaps be immagined.
The small tank is filed IA the morning
and kept heated by furnace under It.
The price ola bath diminishes in pro-
portion as the water get dirty, until, in
the evening, it falls to single cash.

EXPRESS THROUGH MEx1co.-The
San Francisco Herald learns that Messrs
A. J. Doyle and M. j. Heating are
about to establish an express line through
Mexico, in connection with the famous
express of Adams & Co. The proposed
route is via Acapulco, Mexico and Vera
Cruz. Steamers now ply regularly be-
tween New Orleans and Vera Cruz
leaving the former place on the LIST and
18th of every month, or nine days after
the sailing Of the mail steamers. 1t
is calculated that letters and light pack
ages can gain the nine days between
New Orleans and Acapulco so as to in
tercept the mail steamers at the latter
port. Should this enterprise succeed
and Adams & Co. belong to the never
fail school-datcs from New Orleans
would be nine days later than those by
the regular mail steamer. The time be-
tween New Orleans and San Francisco
will thus be reduced to sixteen days.

THE COLUMBIA AND STAINS
LAUS RIVER WATER CON-
PANY.

The columns of the Gazette last week
gave the particulars Of the organization
of this new company, the success of
which is so necessary to promote the
prosperity and permanence of our town
and vicinity. Since that period, the
Trustees have been unremitting in their
endeavors to further the work, and to
carry out the wishes and resolves of the
stockholders. The machinery of gov
crnment has been put in motion, and
probably ground will be broken on the
line, the ensuing week. All classes of
community feel the Importance Of the
undertaking, and are seizing hold Of it
with an alacrity and zeal highly COM
mendable.
By many, it may be said, that we
have at present, a water company in
our midst, and there is no need of a
second. To this we have only to reply,
what everybody knows, that the low
state of the water in the South Fork of
the Stanislaus, in the months of Aug
ust. September, October, and part of
November, precludes the supply to the
Tuolumne Company, that the wants of
our miners demand. To remedy this
evil, to gil up this vacuum, and to
prevent the stagnancy in business gen.
orally, observable throughout the period
named, this new Water Corporation has
been formed. Another argument strikes
us equally as potent. The largest sup
ply of water from the present ditch is
obtainable in the winter and spring sea-
sons, and as our mines no longer, ex-
cept in isolated cases, depend upon sur
face soil, but delve deep into the bowels
of the earth, their holes are filled up
during these periods, and unless clean
ed out by the process of laborious pump
ing, are not workable until the dry sea-
son. The diminished supply will not
permit this to be done, and hence the
only possible mode to overcome the
difficulty, is the introduction of COM
plete supply of the necessary element
during the summer months.
There are those, too, who view the
new undertaking as an opposition to the
old Company. Such is not the case
The field is ample for both to exercise
their energies, and if four more bitches
were dug, the supply brought in, would
meet with ready consumption. There
is mutually of interest existing be-
tween them, and in proportion as the
rights and franchises of one are respect
ed, so Will be the other. There is no
fear Of their ever coming into contact,
because their interests will be interwo-
ven, and SO inextricsbly mingled to-
gether, that antagonism on either side,
will only produce evil to those assisting
in its propagation.
A large number Of shares have been
taken, and by the middle Of next week,
one half of the whole number will be
subscribed. The capital stock is $780,
600, 1900 shares, at $500 per share
Ten per cent has been assessed as the
amount to be paid at subscribing. Those
who prefer to pay their shares in labor
are permitted to do so, under certain
regulations.
By notice IN another column, it will
be seen that public meeting is to be
held at the Church South this evening.
Miners and others DESTROYS of joining
the enterprise, are respectfully invited
to attend.
