SrAGEs--At this time we have two lines
of stages running from Sacramento to this
place. Messrs Byam & Co. continue to run
their stages daily by way of Fiddletown-
The fare on this route has been increased
from five to eight dollars-a figure at which
it is hoped the proprietors will be enabled to
make some money for the heavy outley they
are subjected to in running their coaches
daily over the bad winter roads.
Mr.. Charles Green is now the owner of
the line running by way Of jackson. His
stage leaves this place daily, at 2 P. M. and
arrives in Sacramento next day at p. NJ
Old Cal, is still boss of the ribbons" and
this is assurance enough that everything will
be done to make passengers comfortable
BY the present arrangement our town is pro-
vided with two good stage lines for Sacra-
mento Success to the new proprietors.

Music.

Count Merebeau, who was one OF the most
pronigate and licentious men that France
ever knew, exclaimed, let me die at the
sound of delicious music;" and this is the
feeling and sentiment Of all intelligent men,
except such as are only ftfor strategem, perils
and war.
Music lulls the passions to rest, and
awakens the most agreeable emotions in the
breast of man and inspires him with lively
conceptions Of the attributes Of that high
intelligence (which actuates and animates all
nature" Good music is truly moral and
intellectual feast.
As the new year T" was coming in had
the most pleasing proof Of the delicious effect
of music upon the mind just waking from a
dream.
A trio Of the amateurs Of Volcano came
near my window and made the air resonant
with sweet music. The soft warbling notes
of the flute, blended with the music Of the
violin and guitar, seemed to vie in sweetness
as the music 6oated on the dir to awaken
nature from her midnight slumbers; and
almost wished my spirit free that / might
drink more deeply the inspiration of the hour.
With such feelings, one might exclaim, "let
death come like the sounds Of delicious
music" SIGMA.

The ROAD TO SUTTER..-We are advised
on reliable authority that the contemplated
road enterprise between Sutter Greek and
Volcano, via. the banks of that stream, is to
be vigorously prosecuted. The survey will
be made Immediately, and responsible par
ties are ready to subscribe every dollar Of
stock necessary, and to pay it in as fast as
the instalments may be called for This is
an important measure for Volcano. 1t will
greatly reduce the distance, and at the same
time greatly improve the road to Sacramento.
1t will also bring us into close and more di-
rect communication with the important and
fourishing town of Sutter Creek, which is
of itself matter well worthy of considera-
ton Gentlemen trustees, push along this
road to Suttcr aa.I
p6v' Notwithstanding the heavy rains that
have fallen, the road from this place to Fid-
dletown remains in good condition. A great
deal Of the travel between Sacramento and
Volcano is by this road. Dry Greek hill
heretofore the great "bug bear" on this
route, is now assembled by an easy grade, and
in fact the road all the way to the city is
good.

WASHINGTON, Dec. %.
There are points of great public interest in
the discussions of he House, not the least IN
teresting Of which is the awkward position or
the Democratic members who, before the or
eanization and in caucus, introduced resoiu-
tions of Agi' alton and Slavery, while ever
since the organization they have been de-
nouncing agitators and sectional men. They
dot only claim the privilege of monopllzlng
that article called Agitation, but denounce all
men who do not concur with them in approx
ing their offensive law of the last Congress
and their offensive Caucus Resolutions OF the
present Agitation, indeed is the stock in
trade of the present elaboration in the House.
Another feature developed in the debate is
the double dealing of the Democratic members,
North. and South, pending the recess from
March to December. Indeed, many of the IA
members in the House, voting for Richardson,
PLAYED most foully for their success. At the
South they have made the Kansas and Ne
braska Act the corner ssone of Southern In
sttutons. At the North, under the lead of
Senators Cass and Stuart in Michigan Pugh
and others in Ohio, and in Illinois under Doug
lass Il Co, they have made the Kansas Act an
Anti-Southern measure. COBB, of Georgia,
has endeavored to scatter this crosShre on
his party by pitching into the Americans, and
thus to turn the war 10 another direction. 1t
would have been skilful movement, if the
motive had not been so transparent. Mr..
WHEELER put to him respectful question
touching the Wing support he got as Union
man in Georgia, which brought an uncivil an
swer. Mr. CAMPBELL, of Ohio, put questions
to him touching his vote on Texas matters,
which Mr. c. said he soouH Gnswer at another
time The Elk Governors and Ex-Speaker's
course looked little overbearing and supper
cillous towards younger men, and chose who,
on the floor at least, are his equals. Mr.. Co
was the candidate of his party at home for U.
S. Senator and was beaten by Mr.. Iverson,
aud he comes here to boast of the truth and
power of his principles in House where the
Administ alton strength has been reduced by
the people from 100 to about II or 70.

a Noble Platform.

The Young men of Connecticut, known as
&" the Junior Sons of America" were in State
Convention for two days at Hartford, and
closed their session with handsome supper,
eloquent speeches and good toasts. We sub
join their platform:
1st. Americans shall rule America.
Cd. The Union of these United States as
they are, one and inseparable.
81. To silence the clamor of faction, and TO
rebuke the busy intrigues of selfish politicians
4th. To see our internal resources improved,
our labor rewarded, our genius fostered, and
our manufactures, agriculture, commerce and
national dignity sustained by intelligent Ameri-
can craftsmanship.
9th. To be educated in American sentiment
and principle and strengthened in our work
a. our ancestors were in theirs, by the inspi
ration Of that Sacred Book
9Th. That the suffrages of the American
people for political offices should not be given
to any other than those born on orr SOIL or
reared under the influences of our institutions
It'll. That we will welcome to our shores
the victims of tyranny from foreign lands, and
offering them place by our side, we grant
them equal justice under the protection of the
Constitution.
srh. Opposition to foreign military organi-
cations.
9Th. The doctrines of the revered Washing
ton, Jefferson, Adams, aud the immortal pa
triots of the Revolution, the last " sons Of '76,"
who are fast fading from our view.
10th. The good of our Country. not party !;
the success OF our principles, not men.
1lth. A radical change in our naturaliza-
tion laws.
18th. To spread abroad, and TO maintain
against all accidents of time, or of defeat, the
waxing or the waning of parties, those three
great charters of American Liberty: The
Constitution of the United States, the Declare
tioL of American Independence, and the Bible.
18th. Union above all "side issues" and
harmony 10 preference to all intrigue of pr-
Vate politicians hostility 10 foreign
otfcas-and united protection to American
interest,

The Pres,deut,s Message.

Why did the President lay his Annual
Message before the Senate prior to the or
ganization of the House of Representatives?
1t has heretofore been customary to await
the organization of both branches Of Con-
gress. Was the departure from the estab-
lished rule caused by the supreme impor-
lance of the Message by the fear that a
continuance of the prolonged contest in the
House would leopard great public interests?
If these were the causes, what ought the
country to think of the administration and
its liege men in the House who have, day
after day, voted for Richardson and refus-
ed to unite with national men in the cleo
ton of a Speaker outside of the Democrat
ic party Knowing that public interests
were suffering, was it not the duty of the
Administration, after the Democratic men,
bers had become satisfied that they could
not elect their candidate, to urge them to
unite upon the best man amongst the other
candidates and elect him Surely this
would have been the most patriotic policy
the course most consistent with the high
obligations they owe to the country whose
government is in their hands. Had this
been done, after the first weeks voting, we
are confident Fuller could have been elect
ed, the House completely organized, and
ready 10 receive the message and consider
its recommendations. But now, we fear
should the Democratic members change
their policy, it viii be too late Should a
Black Republican be elected Speaker, and
any of the great interests of the nation
suffer by the delay which has already oc-
Cured, the country will know upon whom
the responsibility rests.

and have said nothing 1t is subject Of contested
elections, and shall examine it fairly. Any Fumor
contrary to this ia utterly false; and shall stigma
TIE as liar any one who authorises ary such ex'
preston.
= Mr.. CoIfax, resuming. said: He had remarked
that the rumor was doubtless untrue, and merely
alluded to it nov TO shew how futile such charges
were. He believed that the other rumors would
prove alike fsllacous. There ives no reason Tor
the voting to be suspended.
Mr.. Whitfield lrhe delegate from Kansas ask
for no pledges-I stand on the Justice OF my cause
Mr. A. K Marshall stated that bis object IN mo
wing suspension of voting was to afford time tor
reflection. He did not refer to mere rumors, but
TO direct charges, of which there was abundant
proof
Mr. Campbell Of Ohio, having been alluded to,
said that no member of Congress had ever sp-
preached him, demanding pledges, during the time
be was voted for a. a candidate for Speaker. ne
would hsye kicked such out of his room.
Mr.. Washbnrn Of Maine, did not wrnt DARK IN
situations, but to understand the charges no" !;
and he then defended Mr.. Banks.
Mr.. KunkeI of Pennsylvania, said bis Delegation
had neither asked nor received pledges from Mr..
Banks.
Here the episode ended.

The Senate was in session yesterday. In
the House there was not quorum although
enough members were in the city to consti-
tute quorum, if they had attended. 1t
IS to be hoped that they will be present
this morning The members have had a
long respite from their labors, and the peo-
pie throughout the State are becoming i'm
patient at the delay to which the business
of legislation has been subjected, and the
members owe it to themselves to go to work
now in earnest and despatch the business

British Periodical Literature.

The attention of our readers is directed to
the advertisement of Messrs. Leonard, Scott
& Co., Of New York, to be found in this
days paper. The five works republished by
them embrace the best part of British periodi-
cal literature and are the more valuable as they
form the medium through which the highest
and most sterling literary talent of Great
Britain is made to reach the public ear.
First among the works may be noticed, the
Edinburg eview which was established as the
exponent of the sentiments of the Wing party
of Great Britain and from its commencement
strenuously advocated the rights of people.
1t was started and conducted under the auspi-
ces Of such minds as Sidney Smith, Jeffreys,
Brougham, and Macaulay.
The London Quarterly was established to
counteract the influence that It's powerful rival
the Edingburgh exerted. Men of the high
est literary rank contributed and still contin-
ue to contribute to its pages.
The Westminster Review was established
under the patronage of the ultra liberals, 80
styled, of the British House of Commons
1t has always been looked upon as the organ
of liberal principles and its pages have always
been devoted to powerful articles tending to
the reduction of exclusive privileges, heredita-
~ rights, and kingly prerogatives.
The North British Review is q work of
more recent origin than the others, though it
has already achieved as prominent position
in therepubic of letters. In it literature and
literary works are discussed and discoveries
in mental and physical science unfolded. The
discussion of religious subjects also, forms a
prominent feature The late DR.. Chslmers
was the founder and principal editor of this
Review.
Last, though, by no means least, comes
Blackwoods Magazine. Toryisn is the be-
setting sin of BI4ckwood, yet so betwitching
is its rhetoric and so superior is its Intrinsic
literary merit that however obnoxious to the
American reader may be its anti.rcpublican
tenets, it is impossible for the intelligent rea
der to fail of being charmed by the persnal
of its brilliant pages. 1t is peculiarly attrac
tive at this time for the vivid and graphic
accounts Of scenes in the Crimea, the Baltic
and other fields Of the present hostile opera
tons in Europe.

Ornaments for the Capitol.


The browning ornaments Of the tower,
which lifts its classic head above the centre
of the State Capitol, have recently been
made in this city at the foundry of Mr.. T.
M. BRENNAN, No. 80 College street. They
consist Of four tiers of leaves, surmounted by
a tripod, from the centre of which light
ming rod will ascend The base of the lower
tier consists of a ring twelve feet in diane
ter, resting on and firmly secured to the
wrought iron rafters of the tower The
height from the bottom ring to the top of
the tripod is Fl feet inches, lightning rod
10 feet in all, 81 feet 6 inches Theleaves
taper from the base, forming graceful con-
tour they are firmly secured to rings, fast
ened in the centre to a strong wrought iron
pole, that is connected with the roof at its
apex, and feet below to a cast iron centre
piece they are also well braced with
wrought iron rods radiating from the centre
pole, and all firmly secured with bolts.
-Four large Scrolls extend from the foot of
the base to the eornice, lying on the roof,
all Of which will be cast iron, and weigh
probably ten tons The work will be paint
ed the color of and present an appear
ance similar to that Of the balance of the
building. The manner in which it has been
executed confers the highest credit upon
Mr.. BRENNAN. The castings are beautiful
and highly finished specimens.
These ornaments are copied from the Cho-
ragie Monument of Lysicrites, at Athens,
and when placed in position, will add great
ly to the beauty and elegance of the tower
The original design is made of chisselled
marble, and said to be the most magnificent
specimen of monumental architecture in
Greece. 1t is, however, small in COMPARE
son with the copy here, which the late State
architect designed to be constructed of cast
iron in consequence of its colossal proper,
tons, and the comparatively small expense
of making it of this material.
The Capitol is now nearly completed.
1t reflects honor upon the State, the archi-
tect, and all the mechanics who have been
employed in its construction. In future
years, when all Of those who have in any
manner been connected with it, shall have
gone to that bourne whence no traveller
returns" it will be pointed to as monu-
ment Of the good taste that designed it,
and the wisdom of the Legislatures that
ordered and secured its erection.

RAJ The proposition of Mr.. CAMPBELL,
of 0hio, to place Mr.. Orr, of South Caro-
lima, in the Chair, temporarily, brought
down on his head the denunciations of the
whole troop Of Black Republicans. The
Tribune and the Era were particularly con-
cerned The war became so hot, Mr.. c.
gave in, and on the 9th nit. withdrew the
proposition The result should be lesson
to Mr. G. He who attempts to please
Greeley aud his gang of agitators, must
sell himself to them body and soul. They
will put up with 40 halfway service.
