Tha Legislature.

From the Sacramento Union we learn
that tbe seventh session of the California
LEGISLATURE commenced its sittings at noon
of the 7th inst. Both houses were unusu-
ally full-in fact there are but two or three
members of either party reported absent.
In the Senate the parties are very nearly
balanced, and the Democracy, although ey-
identity in small minority, seem determined
to contest every point cndeavored to be
made against them by their mysterious op-
ponents. The lob5ies and galleries Of Ell
ther room were crowded with spectators.
In Assembly little was done besides the
administering Of the oath to new members.
There appears to be but one contested seat
that Of the member from San Luis Obs
pc. An attempt was made by a prominent
Democrat Of the last session to stave off the
complete organization Of The House until
after the 9Th, but the willy Know Nothings
checkmated the adroit movement by voting
to meet on the morning Of the 8th at 10
o'clock. This popular branch OF the Legis-
lature is thoroughly Californian as regards
age, the great majority of members being
very young men.

DEATH CAUSED FROM WREsTILHG.-A
Scotchman named John Mcdonald came to
his death at Bottle Hill, on Friday last
occasioned from the effects of injuries recei-
we'd the day previously while scufling with
another person, which was rupture in the
abdomen. 1t was so bad that the unfortu-
nate mans entrails protruded entirely out,
thereby causing horrible death. We
are informed that he fingered for twenty
four hours after the accident befel him. du-
ring which time every effort was made by
the medical men in attendance to alleviate
his pains and save his life, but the rupture
was of such fatal nature that it was ut.
tcrly impossible to render him any assis
tance. His death was represented as being
extremely horrible and agonizing.

JAN. ), 1856.

- AN. y, 1COO.
NEssRs. EDITORS: There seems to be but
little notice taken of the subject Of the
Stage Road between Georgetown and Yam
kee Jims. To me this seems to be a sub
iect of paramount Importance to those two
towns and all others intervening, and no
petty influence should tend to blind the
public to that fact. We are aware that
there exists at the present day road run
ming through the entire extent of the South
ern mines to Georgetown. At that point
there is dead stop, and all stages must
bring up there. Then again, throughout
the entire distance of the Northern mines
there is a stage road running as far as Yam
kee Jims. These two places-yiz: George
town and Yankee Jims-are about four
teen miles apart, and to connect the two to-
gether a road would have to be built for
about ten miles. BY connecting the two
places, the central stage road would then
be completed from Fort Miller to Shasta
City. It will be seen at a glance that al
most the entire travel that is now flowing
from south to north, and rice cersa, by way
Of Sacramento, would come through George
Gown and Yankee Jims, being SO much
nearer, and Of course cheaper, trayersing a
mining section the entire distance.
Let us now look at the practicability of
the road. From Georgetown to Volcano
vile the distance is eight miles, and good
stage road can be built under nine miles,
with a grade ofnot over 10 in 100. This
is by Smith and ConantS route. From
Volcanoville there is a road built within a
half mile of Big Bar on the Middle Fork.
From Volcano Bar road exists, running
up on the other ridge This is merely to
show the practicability Of a road being
built across the Middle Fork of the Amer
lean river, and to demonstrate that road
across that river is not such a stupendous
undertaking; and while we reflect that on
the North Fork, at Iowa Hill, road has
been cut in very much worse hills than we
have here, we feel satisfied that a road
across that point will be fSed fact; and
our knowledge of the existence of good
stage roads across all the rivers and their
forks on this line, with the exception of the
Middle Fork Of the American, should Ger
tainly give an impulse to building the road
across that fork. Georgetown and Yankee
Jims at present are isolated from each 9th
er; for the Middle Fork forms a very deep
line Of demarcation that should be allowed
to exist On the chart no longer.

R5~ Owing to the cold, dry weather,
which has prevailed uninterruptedly in this
section for the fortnight past, all outdoor
mining, except in the more favored Iocali-
ties, has been wholly suspended. The Sc
we're cold Of last week caused an entire fail
ure Of water in all the bitches, and Of course
a suspension Of all mining dependent upon
them for a supply Of that Indispensable ar
ticle The moderated state Of the weather
for the past few days has, however, Ioosed
the bonds which enchained the flow of the
water in the bitches, and they are now run
ming full to repletion. The addition of a
liberal rain would make all kinds of busin-
ess beat time merrily to the music of the
mines.

AF~ We have received a communication
signed Justice" taking exception to the
paragraph in last weeks issue, wherein we
stated that number Of persons in this and
adjoining places had been "arrested and
fined" for neglecting to procure licenses
In our opinion the matter is not Of sufficient
Importance to warrant the publication Of
so lengthy a communication. The follow
ing paragraphs contain the gist Of the arti-
Gle:
"Now, the truth of the matter is, that in
stead OF ''twenty-four persons" having been
arrested, there was not, and could not
have been, legally, a single one, nor was
there q single fine imposed
''Thcse, therefore, being civil suits, the
defendants can no more be arrested and
fined, than in any other civil action (even
on simple contract) between citizen and cit
izen, and it is made the imperative duty of
the District Attorney to prosecute them as
SUCH"
