The Alta Telegraph Co.

The wires Of this company now stretch
from Downieville to San Francisco in one
continuous line. Through the energy Of
Mr.. James Gamble, the present Superinten-
dent of the company, the wires have been
laid from Benecia across the straits of Car
quinas, to Marteniz, and from Oakland an
other submarine line has been laid across
the bay to San Francisco, distance of five
miles. Great praise is due Mr. Gamble for
the very efficient manner in which he has
conducted the work, and putting it in sue
cessful operation, after so many fruitless
attempts by other parties.
The poles and wire are all ready for COM
pleting a line to this place, and as soon as
the required amount Of stock is raised here,
the line will be put into operation at once
Two agents of the company are in town for
the purpose of raising the stock, which is
only small amount; and we hope our citi-
zens will lend speedy aid to the undertaking
1t would not only be a great convenience to
our citizens, but would be greatly conducive
to the Importance and growth of the town
Property would advance, besides, the lines
that have already been put in operation are
paying handsome profit on the money in
vested, and the stocks of the same demand
as high price as any in the market.
With such improvements, our town would
soon have a noteriety, and take the place
which her position and size demands, as that
of proud and fourishing young city, poss
essing all the requisites for future greatness
Let us have the Telegraph at once, and
other improvements will rapidly follow.

Shooting ARRAY.

An unfortunate occurrence took place on
Saturday night, in which Mr.. Samuel Dick.
ey, the Surveyor, was severely wounded
The particulars of the case as near as we
can judge from the various conflicting re-
ports, are briefly rs follows: Mr. Dicker
in company with Mr. Parker, was passing
Smiths Bowling Alley, about nine o'clock:
in the evening, when some person near there
maze an obscene noise with his mouth
whereupon Mr. Dickey returned to ascertain
the perpetrator of the insult. A young man
by the dame of Jimmy Archer was standing
by the door. and as we are informed, ac-
knowledged himself the guilty person. High
words ensued, and pistols were drawn, and
by way Of getting start of the fight Dick
ey shot first but missed his nan, then lodged
into the house Archer then shot, wounding
Dickey in the legs. The two shots were all
that were fired The ball entered Dickey's
right leg just above the knee, passing up
and around the bone, aud slightly wounding
the left thigh. The wound, though serious
is not, we believe, considered dangerous.
Drs. Smedes, Jenkins and Owens, were at
tending the wounded man when we saw him
shortly after the fight.
The habit of carrying weapons, and using
them as the means Of settling difficulties Of
such nature as this, is most deplorable
aud is becoming far too common. Mr.. Dick
ey has many acquaintances and friends here
and with them, We hope that nothing serious
Archer left soon after the shooting and
has not been seen in town since.

SERVES EN- RIGHT 1t is believed from
present indications that the potato rot in
Maine will be more general and severe than
in any former year-in consequence of the
recent traitorous demonstrations in electing
50 many Black Republicans. This is fair
sample Of the caIamities that would follow
lie election Of Fremont.
NEW STAGE LINEs.-Oroville is fast be
coming the concentrating point for the sta
Ces running from Marysville to the North.
Already the Bidwells Bar line has with
drawn from the old road and Is being run
through our town, and in day or two the
Shasta stages are to pass this way.
Four stages arrive every day from Marys-
vile, one from Bidwell, and one from Span
ishtown and vicinity
The Shasta line. once established through
0rovile, together with the others, will aug
ment the already immense influx of travel
lers to our town.
As We have ever prophecied, the attention
Of capitalists must be directed hither, and
they have but to get glimpse of the resour-
ces hereabouts, and the size of the town, tc
induce them to make such investments as
are bound to result to their profit and the
welfare Of the town.

Tho Meeting last Night.

The impromptu gathering Of the Democ-
racy last night was one Of those gather
ings that have carried terror to the hearts
Of our opponents made the Ki-Yes shake
in their shoes. weaken in their efforts, give
mp the contest, and seek consolation in the
midnight reeesses Of their wigwams
The meeting was addressed by Hon Jos
c McKIBBEN, in an able, argumentative,
and logical mann.r for upwards of an hour.
His stalwart blows fell thick and fast upon
the Know Nothing carcass and the Repub
licAn organization. He introduced some in-
terestiug statistics concerning the course of
Mr.. Fillmore while in Congress, and proved
him free -soiler BY the evidence of his as
sociate Andrew J. Don nelson. This made
some of Foote's Fillmore men squirm in an
awful manner, but the facts we're driven
home ~ the record, and fastened upon
them.
Mr.. McKibben was followed by Judge
Hum of luba, in speech repete with log
zeal ~ gument, anl in an eloquent and fer
vid manner. He referred to Mr. Clay's po-
silion with regard to the Missouri compro-
mise; and the Missouri compromise of 1850,
ami showed that the patriot and Statesman
Of Ashland had supported the former as a
matter Of policy, and the latter as a dcclar-
alton Of principle.
Gen. Harris, being loudly called for.
aseendcd the stand, and made an earnest,
eloquent and effective speech The only
danger to be apprehendel to the Union was
from scetionalism-hy arraying one portion
Of the Union against another The section
al party now in the field, was led on by
military chieftain who was never under fire,
statesman, whose only act of legislation
WAS the Introduction Of bill to appoint
twenty thousand Office holders to collect a
license from the miners of California, before
permitting them to work the mines
