To THE CITIZENS OF 0RovILLE AND VI
CINTrY. Gentlemen-Your roads are in n
very bad condition, and unless repair ed
without delay, will soon, if the present rainy
weather continues, (Which we have reason
now to expsct' be almost impossible. The
evils arising from bad condition of our
roads, are too apparent to all classes of com
munity to render "A rehearsal Of them neces-
sary, and as roads cannot be repaired with
out means, to work with, and as there is no
funds on hand at this time for that purpose,
the undersigned hopes that all partys who
have not paid theiY road tax for the present
year will do so promptly, without having to
be called upon the second time; By so doing
the time necessarily spent by the Overseer
in collecting, will be shortened, and conse-
quent saving effected in the road fund.
Yours Respectfully,
JOHN S. BERRY,
0verseer for Road District No. /.
Nov. %, 1856.

the canvass proves them to be Dem
ocrats only for the sake Of the spoils,
and we trust the Legislature elect will
give them just the quantum Of consid-
Grafton their treachcry demands.
1t is no pleasure to us to speak
thus of any who profess to be Demo
Gratis, but when their "rule or ruin"
policy is so plainly visible, it is the
duty of q Democratic Legislature to
administer q rebuke to their treach-
cry to Democratic principles and
customs which they will not easily
forget.

FouND.-Mr. Obed Sawtell who drives the
opposition stage to Marysville, brought into
our office last night door of an iron safe,
which he found some ten days since on the
Marysville road about half mile below
Lynchburg. This is rather curious thing
to lose especially when attached to the safe,
as this seems to have been, both the bolts of
the locks being turned out. We have i'm
agined all sorts of things as connected with
the fintling of this mysterious door, and to
settle our awakened suspicious, and satisfy
our curiosity, we wish the owner of it would
if he wants it, for we don't, unless he'll give
US the safe.

WHALE F,sHKRY AT MONTEREY The
Portuguese whalers at this place, says the
Pacific Sentinel, have had q pretty fair sea-
son this year. Since March last, they have
taken eighteen humpbacks, which have
made over five hundred barrels Of oil, or
thirty gallons each--or about 10, 900 gallons
of merchantable oil, worth in the San Fran
cisco market an average of seventy-hve
cents q gallon. At this valuation, their
years labor amounts to $4,000; aud as
they have crew Of fifteen men, after pay
ing all expenses, they divide, as we are in
formed, profit of 5000 to each hand. AS all
their fixtures are only cheap and temporary,
and their capital small, we consider the Por
tuguese boys have made fair years work,
and have we'll deserved their hard earned
money. We hope ene of these days they
will be rich enough to buy schooner, and
then to launch out on the Pacific deep into
brigs and barks, and some day or other, ut
up out-and- out whalersr and go up into the
Arctic seas and run out the down-east craft

The VALE Y portion of Butte and
the agricultural counties Of Colusa
Tehama, have been rendered by the
recent rains in admirable condition to
receive the plow of the husbandman.
The agricultural lands in these three
counties, are of great extent, and ca
pable of sustaining dense popula-
ton. Favorably situated to a min
ing market, we doubt not the lands
are destined to become populated
with a numerous and thrifty produ-
cling class, and viii contribute large
ly to the agricultural wealth of the
state. They are nearly surrounded
by extensive mining fields, timbered
lands, coal-beds, lime and marble
quarries, and almost unlimited water
privileges. In this immediate vicin-
ity, all these interests are somewhat
further advanced, than that of agri-
culture, because they have held out
the promise of more immediate gain.
A few years more will witness the
valley lands of these counties filled
with the homes of thrifty farmers,
and all the paraphanalia of pro-
ductive industry. Then the sub
Joined beautiful extract from Thomp-
sons Seasons will be rs applicable to
us as to the Briton:
--" Senerate the plow;
And DER your hills aid long Withdrawing wales,
Let Autumn spread his treasures to the Sun,
Luxuriant and unbounded as the Sea,
Far through his azure turbulent domain,
Your empire owns, and from thousand shores,
Watts all the pomp of life into your ports.
So, with superior hoon may your rich soil
Exuherant natures better blessings pour
Ger every land, the max ed nations clc;he,
And be the exhaustless granary OF world!'

those who will take the trouble to
investigate the result, and the Leg
islature, before choosing two United
States Senators, should investigate
the causes which have brought about
somewhat singular, but nevertheless
overwhelming triumph for the De-
mocracy. Those members of the
Legislature who will take the trouble
to do so, will not remain long in doubt
as to whom among the prominent
candidates, they should select to rep
resent California in the Senate of the
United States.
In the opening of the campaign,
at the Democratic State Convention
in Sacramento, it was conceded and
notorious fact that, portion of the
party connected with the S. Francisco
Custom House, were all powerful.
They set up, or knocked down whom
soever they pleased. They nomina
ted their candidates for Congress,
and for every other position they
chose, until surfeited with the spoils,
they threw off on their candidate for
Clerkship, and permitted the numer
Gus friends Of Mr.. Fairfax to nomi-
nate him to that position. There
was large party in that convention
who desired to see different men nom
mated. They had been beaten in a
convention which they attended in
good faith, and, in accordance with
Democratic usage, with determina-
ton to abide the result. They went
home, and engaged in the canvass
with true democratic spirit, and ev-
erywhere the State ticket triumphed.
The minority party in the State Con-
vention thus proved themselves dem
ocrats true as steel. They were not
fighting for spoils-but for the Eter-
nal principles of Democracy and Re-
publican government. Here, then,
we see the Democracy thoroughly
united and triumphant with a ticket
put forth by the influence of the Gus
tom House. There was no boiling
at the polls among those who had op
posed them in Convention.
What are the facts exhibited by
the record on the other side ! Take
San Francisco for example, where the
Custom House State Ticket was sue
cessful by large majority. The
Democracy of San Francisco had
nominated q ticket inimical to the
aspirations of the Custom House, and
it was defeated. Who defeated 1T!
and who were the traitors Does
not tue result point Enthusiastically to
its source, and designate the traitors
who are now fattenning upon the
spoils of former democratic tri-
umph ! They preferred Black Re
pubhcanism, chivalric as they are, to
the triumph Of Democrats whom they
did not own. The chivalry Of Yuba
produced similar result in that
county. There was no boiling the
chivary state ticket, but wherever
the cdivalry could defeat county
ticket they did not own, they have
done 50. They would have defeated
the State ticket, had they been able,
if they nad not controlled the State
Convention. These chivalric trait
ors, VINO nave defeated every Legis-
latiye county ticket opposed to them
that tuey possibly could, are now per-
