pnIificaI Aspect.

Fron, tbe amount of abuse which the
Know Nothing order is constantly meeting,
one would naturally think, that their MEM
hers had been selected, by the Democrats.
as the scape-goats of community, and con-
seouentlv, were responsible for the full
weight of vengeance that rotten and crum-
bling party; such as the Democrats, could
heap upon them. Like the last Pickering
and uncertain light of candle, Democracy
seems to be gathering all It's force and
strength, in order that it may appear as re-
spectacle as possible in its dying hour. AT
such crisis as this, we would naturally think
that they would be more pentent than we
at the present time find them. The stool
of repentance, in our estimation would be
the most proper place for them, where, in
the presence Of the Wise Law-giver of the
Universe, and before their lawful Judges.
the people, they might make atonement for
their multiplied sins, before it is too late
before it be said of them, eye knew your
duty but ye did it not !" The weeping and
wailing, and gnashing of teeth to be wit
messed Ill the Democratic ranks next Fall,
will be spectacle, long to be remembered.
but never regretted. In all these difficult
ties and results, the Wing party will remain
easy. They know wherein lays their
strength, and consequently they rest con-
tented. No divisions have entered their
ranks; no grievous and damning political
sins rest at their door. Before them lays
the ripening fields, the reapers will be ready
for the work, and when the right time shall
come, peaceably, and without a struggle
they will gather home the harvest"

Road to Carson Valley,

A meeting was held at "Warrens Hall. /"
last evening, to take into consideration the
most feasible plan with which to proceed
with the talked of Carson Valley and Sa-
cramento Road. We have not vet been
able to get the official proceedings of the
meeting, but are happy to say, that it was
we'll attended, and that much interest and
feeling was exhibited on the occasion. The
truth is, beyond all question, we have on
this proposed route, every advantage
There is nothing wanted but the active en-
terprlse and energy of the citizens inter
ested on this route, to secure its success
Should we be able to make it appear that
we have the advantages by way Of George
town for public road over that of any
other route over the Sierra Nevada; should
the Legislature finally pass bill making
appropriations for a Public Road, such as
the Assembly bill already calls for accord
ing to the proviso of that bill, ,ce shall Sc
cure the appropriation But whether all
this is done or not, it is to the interest Of
Georgetown, CoIoma, Greenwood Valley,
Salmon Falls, and all the towns and coun-
try lying within the range of this road, to
use all their influence and available means,
for the successful accomplishment of this
most desirable enterprise Let, therefore,
no opportunity escape you-advance as fast
as possible; hold on to all you get, and you
will yet secure for this portion Of the coun-
ty, more desirable advantages than either
county seats Or State Capitols, considering
their migrating propensities.)

The Education of Woman.

Mr. Editor:-Whyis Woman not better
educated? 1t is true, there are efforts being
made to extend to her the benefits of more
liberal education, but it is by the disinter-
ested justice and humanity of man, or by
her own efforts that she has at length
prospect of acquiring that degree of mental
and moral excellence for which she was de-
signed by the Creator? Woman's educa-
ton has been confined to accomplishments.
and not attainments- they are well denom-
mated accomplishments, for they are intend
ed to accomplish certain object, and that
object is MATRIMONY. "The lords of crea-
ton" say, ''if Woman desires more advan-
tages in respect to education, she must ex-
ert herself to obtain them; it is not to our
interest" This is truly a selfish sentiment.
and shows as little observation as reflection.
1t may not be for the interest of the mere
man of pleasure to cultivate the moral and
intellectual faculties of woman; but those
whose vision is not obscured by selfshness,
can perceive how nearly their interest is
concerned in raising her from dark abyss
of ignorance, and calling into action the
highest attributes of her nature. We often
hear men say, Education is of no use to
Woman, she had better know how to COM
pound a pudding, than to solve a problem;
or cook a beefsteak, than to write an es-
say" All are equally important and each
should be attended to III its own proper
season.
We have great need of true and enlight-
ened women in place Of the affected, pin
ing, and helpless female, sinking under
load of petty disappointments and vexa-
tions, whose time is wholly occupied in
dressing fashionably and studying to amuse
and please. Let the gay votary of fashion
remember that the most angel-like ambition
IS the desire TO contribute to the improve
ment of Others and if she can do this, it is
better than all the triumphs, wealth or fash
ion ever attained. Bring Woman into the
'temple of knowledge" and encourage her
to cast aside trivial amusements-then if
she does not awake to her duty, it will be
time enough to say she has not the capaci-
ty for receiving better education.

The Poole Excitement.
ATHALIA

A great excitement was recently occa-
stoned in New York City, by the murder
of Bill Poole, notorious pugiIist. An
Atlantic paper says
"The Coroner's jury holding an inquest
upon the body of Poole in New York, have
returned verdict, after, eight days investi-
cation, charging Louis Baker, the police
man, with murder, and jim Turner, Nc
Laughlin, Paugene, Hyler, Van Pelt. Cor
nelius Lynn, Morrissey, and James Irwin,
accessories. Baker has not yet been cap
tured, but the most extraordinary exertions
are being made to get hold of him :"
1t seems that the above murderer with
his accomplices, were at enmity with Poole
and Tom Hyer in consequence of their be-
ing at the head of an opposing Club; the one
composed of foreigners, and the other Ma
tive Americans-that the enmity arising
between the rival Clubs increased and kept
alive both by the ambition of rivalry and
the prejudices of birth, determined the par
ty of which Morrissey is the head and Louis
Baker member to murder Poole and there
by rid themselves of formidable opponent.
1t is said that Poole was a Know Notbino
and that the Poole Club of which he and
Tom Hyer was the head, were opposed to
the Billingsgate and rowdy influences which
Morrissey and his gang always exercised at
the polls on election days, and that as this
opposition came in contact with their for
elgn ideas of liberty, they had the manliness
and patriotism to kill the leader, as they
were unable to subdue the Club.
We are decidedly opposed to the coun-
tenencing of pugilists and leaders of Clubs
in any way whatever. and had Bill Poole
lost his life in a drunken brawl, or on the
field dsputing for pugilistic fame, we should
have said, 'serUed him right Eastern pa
pers, however, report the case differently:
they say he was sober at the time of his
murder, was ''minding his own business" and
not infringing upon the rights and privi-
leges of any man. He died declaring that
he was true Native American, and the
many thousands attending his funerel, were
probably persons sympathizing not so much
with the man, as with the principles which
he advocated-those Of peace and harmony
at the polls and at all elections.

Public Meeting.


At a meeting of the citizens of George
town, called on Wednesday evening April
the 18th, to devise ways and means for the
survey of Road leading from Sacramento
to Carson Valley by the way of George
town, +. G. SoUTHwoRTH ESQ.,, was called
to the chair, Mr. w. OLIVER was appoint
ed Secretary. The President of the meet
ing briefly stated the object of the meeting.
Mr.. GRAHAM was in favor of taking i'm
mediate measures to secure an early survey
of the proposed road. Mr.. CONFESS stated
that the probability was that the Road
Bill now before the Legislature would be-
come law previous to the close of the pres
ent Legislative Session-that he was in fa-
vor OF surveying the route and represent the
truths as they are found to exist, before the
appointed Commissioners, in order, if posi-
BILE, to secure the appropriation.
Other appropriate addresses were made
by different gentlemen present, when it was
moved that Committee be appointed to
estimate the probable cost attending sur
vey OF the Road and report the same to the
meeting. Messrs Wren, Graham and
Lynn were named when the motion was car
ried.
Said Committee reported SlIOO, as the
probable cost of the survey.
On suggestion, it was moved and second
ed, that Messrs. ATKINSON, CUNNINGHAM,
HENRY, REED, and MARcHANr be appoint
ed on Committee to raise the required sum.
Carried.
On motion, Messrs. Nichols, of Coloma:
HATCH, of Bottle Hill, and LA DUE, of
Mameluke Hill, were added to the Com
mittee.
A motion was made and carried, that the
different localities on the divide, embracing
Bottle Hill, Johntown, Coloma, Greenwood
Valley, Centerville, Salmon Falls, togeth-
er with Others, be requested to cooperate
with Georgetown in defraying the necessa-
ry expenses of said survey.
1t was Resolved, That the Coloma Argus
and the Georgetown Ne,rS be requested to
give publication to the proceedings of this
meeting.
The meeting then adjourned, to convene
again on Saturday evening, the 28th inst,
to hear the report OF the Committee on FL
nance, and take such other action as may
be deemed necessary.

EGfKX Min strelS.

On last Thursday evening this decidedly
popular Troupe, again made their appear
ance at Warrens Hall, after an absence of
several months. We confess partiality to
this little company. They make no loud
pretentions for Theatrical notoriety, indeed
they do not wish to be known as a Theat-
rical company. But we will say this for
them; in modesty and sprightliness, the
FAIRIES have no rivals in the country; and
both in dancing and music, they bid fair to
occupy a very prominent position both as
regards ability and prominence. The plays
of Kern River" aud Jack on Shore" ex-
hibit in Miss L. GRAVES, and appreciation
and ease in "acting" that if cultivated, will
in the course of time, place her as "star"
in the Theatrical horizon. But what par
ticularly attracts our admiration in this lit
tie company is the musical genius of Miss
a. BLoDGETT; we have always been partial
to music, and in this little girls execu-
tion on the ACCORDION we can see much to
admire and praise. In fact her execution
in the Last Rose Of Summer" with varia-
tiOns, is truly wonderful In the Carnival
of Venice" a beautiful piece of music
though difficult to perform, she excels any
thing on the ACCORDION that we have ever
heard. She possesses soul and is gifted with
the faculty of throwing it into her music;
here, the true characteristics of her genius
are exhibited, she seems to possess the facul-
ty of distinguishing the different passions
and of giving each their proper tone and eff
feet. Under the able instructions of Pro
feSsor f. w. CHASE, we should hope to wit
ness from time to time, the advancement, of
which this little Musician is susceptible
MIR. CHASE is an able instructor, is devoted
to his business, and will doubtless use his
best discretion in properly educating the
little FAIRIES in music. They are now
making the tour of the Northern Mines.

FIREMEN's BALL.-In consequence of the
Ball at Placerville on the first of MAY, the
members of the Hook and Ladder Compa-
ny, of Georgetown, have postponed their
Ball to the ninth of May. A regular Ball
has not been given in Georgetown since the
Fourth of July last, at which time it Will be
remembered, our ci.;z-ns gave one of
the most brilliant Balls ever given in the
mountains. 1t is designed that the one on
the evening OF the 9th, SHALL be equally in
tersting, both as regards numbers and quail
lty. 1t is the design of the members of tie
Hook and Ladder Company, apart from the
pleasure derived from the Ball, to appropri-
ate the proceeds of this party to the pur-
chase of suitable buildings for the safe-keep-
ing Of the "Truck" and fixtures" belonging
to the fire department. Therefore, all per-
sons favorable to this praiSeworthy object,
will please bear in mind, that this Ball will
be given on the evening of the 9th of next
month.

numbered among the things that were.-
The oratory that was there displayed, still
lives, but only in the memories of the "few."
The Great World has not heard their voic-
es, has not known their aspirations, and vet
for this. they were none the less worthy,
none the less deserving of praise The ques-
tions were generally well selected, and ably
debated, while the object of their assembling
together, without doubt, was Improvement.
We wish the same could be said of many of
those societies and associations, on which the
world is too frequently found lavishing it's
adulations and praises. When will men
learn to labor exclusively with an eve to
improvement.
