STocKToNvnLE, March 9Th 1856

STOCKTONvMLE, March 9Th 1855.
FRIEND EDITORIALS our town has es-
capped entirely the notice Of the press, and
reading in almost every issue Of your valu-
able paper, of the rise and progress of new
towns all around us, and of the big strikes
that are made at or near some of these new
locations, and believing that some of the
people of Georgetown are entirely ignorant
of our whereabouts, | would state for their
information, and for the public generally,
that Stocktonville is nice little place one
mile west of Works Ranch, on the road
from Georgetown to Pilot Greek and Mount
Gregory The situation is highly pictur-
esque; on ridge of the divide between the
South and Middle Forks of the American
River. The ground is undulating and fer
tile, watered by never-failing springs; the
PilOl Creek canal passes through the sub
urbs affording at all times an abundant sup
ply Of for mining purposes much
for our location-but there are other mat
ters connected with our prosperity. We
have not one gambling or other immoral
establishment in the precinct; no liquor is
sold by the drink; all the places of business,
with one exception, are closed on the Sab
bath, and all the residents seem to prosper
in their callings. All we need now to make
US happy and contented, is a few more fam
lilies Of the right stripe; a few more young
ladies; a good hall for occasional dancing;
a good meeting house, and stated Sabbath
preaching.
Take US all in all, we are quiet, bust
ness like, orderly set, and the time may
come when we shall think fit to put our
claims in competition with those Of the
mighty City of Placervilie for the county
seat, and if that time arrives, we pledge
ourselves to be the pattern community for
the whole state. If any Of your readers
wishes such residence as | have described,
let them then come Income one, come
all-lOts are free to all who may wish to
take them up and improve them; and good
diggings you may have if you will work
hard and find them
Yours &c.

To YoUNG MEN.-We extract the fol-
lowing beautiful paragraph from the Bacon
laureate Address lately delivered before the
Graduating Glass of Rutgers College, by
the Hon. Theo. Frelinghuyson, and com
mend it to the perusal the of young =
"Resolve to do something useful, honora-
bic, dutiful, and do it heartily. Repel the
thought that you can, and therefore may
live above labor, and without work Among
the most pitiful objects of society, is the
man whose mind has been trained by educa-
tion-whO has learned how to think, and
know the value of his immortal powers, and
with all these noble faculties cultivated and
prepared for an honorable activity, ignobly
sits down to nothing-with no influence
over the public mind-with no interest in
the concerns of his neighborhood be re
garded as drone, without object or char
acter, with no effort to put forth to help the
right or defeat the wrong. Who can think
with any calmness of such a miserable ca
reer? And however it may be with you in
active enterprise, never permit your infu-
ence to be in hostility to the cause Of truth
and virtue. So live, that with the chris
tlan poet, yon may truthfully say that
"If your country stand not by your skill,
AT length your folles have not wrought her fall.
