gDownieville is now connected with the
great telegraph web, which is pushing its
meshes in every direction throughout the
entire state. Measures are in progress
to extend the wires to Oregon on the north
and Los Angeles on the south. The two
great commercial centres Of the world,
London and San Francisco will be in tele-
graphic communication with each other, and
''the rest of mankind" in less than three
years. Within that time the fact of the dis
charge of a cannon in Sebastopol may be
known in San Francisco, before the echoes
which it awakens will have died away amid
the Crimean Hills. Such are the confident
anticipations warranted by the progress of
science urged on by the enterprise Of the
nineteenth century.

10 We would State, for the information
of any who may feel interested in the matter,
that the communication said to have been
read in the "Colored Convention" from the
Editor of this paper, was no "communica-
ton" at all, but an extract from the columns
of the Telegraph" published some weeks
previously, in relation to the convention,
and which we believe met at the time of pub
lication with hearty response from every
reader Of this paper.

FATAL AFFRAY AT Iowa HILL.-The Sac
ramento Union says stabbing affair took
place at Iowa Hill on Tuesday last, in which
a man named Casey was mortally wounded.
A dispute arose between Casey and another
man, named Dockray, about some money,
when Dockray drew knife and stabbed
Casey three times. The wounded man is not
expected to recover, Dockray was arrested
examined before Justice of the Peace, and
deadly weapon. The general opinion seems
to be that he was justifiable in the act, hav
ing been struck several times before he at
tempted to nse his knife.

THAT IETTER.'-We understand that quite
alittle excitement prevailed in certain quar-
ters, few days since, in consequence of a
statement in the Unions Report Of the Col
ored Convention at Sacramento, thata '.vote
of thanks" had been rendered by that body
to the Editor of the "Grass Valley Tele-
graph" for a communication written by him
to that convention. A very decided advance
in the price of cologne" was the immediate
consequence, and holders of putty, for a
time confidently expected similar improve
ment in the value of that commodity. An
early announcement however, that no such
letter had been tUritten, soon quieted the
delicate nerves of our over sensitive citi-
zens, and the latest report ''on change" is
that no serious arrangements of business is
likely to follow the unfortunate announce
ment of the "Unien."
P. S. Since the above was written we
learn that the price Of 'cologne''has receded
to its former stand, and that putty" remains
firm at last quotations.

are now being fitted up and furnished for the
use of the Association. The rooms are cen
trail and convenient, and admirably well
adapted for the purpose We look upon this
Institution as the germ of an important
movement, which, by affording facilities for
a free interchange of opinions, among those
engaged in this important department of
industry, will add greatly to its future pro-
gress and success. Although the business Of
quartz mining has become a fixed fact, and is
now successfully prosecuted in nearly every
mining county in the state, still Grass Valley
is looked upon, all over the world, by those
interested in mining enterprises, as the great
centre and initiatory point of the business in
this state. Hence it is peculiarly appro-
pirate that here should originate the first
association having for its object cen
tralization and communion of ideas, for the
purpose of collecting and disseminating cor
rect practical information with regard to the
business The Institution must and will
succeed. 1t should be fostered by every per-
son. whether directly engaged in mining or
not, who takes any interest in the pecunia-
~ advancement of this community. 1t is an
Institution of which Grass Valley will ere
long have good reason to be proud. Persons
who have not yet become acquainted with it's
objects and disigns can learn full particulars
by calling upon George Roberts, Esq, its
Secretary, or upon either of the Directors,
whose names are hereunto appended. In be-
half of the officers & members of the asso-
citation We would hereby cordially invite the

There is spot of earth supremely blest,
A dearer, sweeter spot than all the rest;
Where man, creations tyrant, casts aside
His sword and septre, pageantry and pride,
While his softened look, benignly blend
The sire, the son, the husband father, friend
Here woman reigns; the mother, daughter,
wife,
Strews with flowers the narrow way oflife.
In the clear heaven of her delightful eye,
An angel guard Of love and graces lie;
Around her knees domestic duties meet,
And iireside pleasures gambol at her feet.
Where shall that land, that spot of earth be
found?
Art .hou a man? patriot? look around;
Oh! thou shalt find, howe'er thy footsteps
roam,
That land thy country, and that spot thy
home.
