STONE Coal "A vein of Coal, says the
Courier, has been discovered twenty miles
northeast Of Shasta, on or near the Sacramen
to wagon road. Several specimens have been
brought to town which have burned with the
brilliancy almost of the best camel, and these
specimens were taken from the surface. On
Saturday last, be received other specimens
from the hands whom he has employed to open
the bed, and their appearance is better, deci,
dedly, than those which have been tested, and
and proved to possess all the elements of the
very best bituminous coal. This coal bed
must be a source Of immense wealth TO the dis
coverer, for the road is descending to the river,
and upon cars of very simple construction, and
by a cheap railrca l. any amount can belanded at
at the river. and there RATED or boated down
to the steamboats,, which, as a back freight, can
afford to deliver it in Sacramento or San Fran
cisco at very trifins cost. We congratu.
late the fortunate posscssor upon his discovery,
and the people of the Sacramento Valley, for
in few years unless trees are planted and fuel
cultivated, it will become very scarce in the
Sacramento Valley. Nature seems to supply
all the wants of man, and it only needs little
labor to appropriate her rich provisions to our
use.

THE KING TEsTrMoNrAL,-The Com
mittee appointed to solicit subscriptions
in behalf of the widow and orphans of
James King of William, have already re-
ceived $4,000, and the work is scarcely
begun. The Aha thinks that the amount
subscribed by San Francisco alone will
not be less than $4,000. Some Of the
prominent citizens have subscribed liber-
ally. Paine & Dewey, a house and lot
valued at s2,5oo; T. W. Park 81 900 /;
Pacific Mail Steamship Co. $500; Maj.
S. Hensley $500 Daniel Glib $500. :
Not less than SIC, 900 will doubtless be
contributed BY other portions of the State.

TELEGRAPH LINEs.-During the recent
excitement at San Francisco, when the
expectations Of our citizens we're raised to
the highest pitch, the line between Sacra-
mento and San Francisco, would almost
invariably be out of order. A few SEN
tences would be dispatched, just enough
to create furor for more, when the pro-
voking announcement of cline down" :"
would be made by the operator
1t is to be hoped, when the Alta Cali
fornia Company complete their line to the
Bay, between the two rival lines, CON-
munication will at any time exist between
this city and San Francisco. 1t is an an
