Were the intellectual faculties Of Mr. jefferson and Mr.

their minds conceived and their pens these great

such charge he does injustice to himself well as TO
Others IL the gentemans mind had not been warped by
the passions aud prudices that unfortunately rule the
hour he would not have made so unjust an accusation
against the southern section of the Union in which lot
has been cast The southern section of the Union will not
suffer in comparison with tho northern the of
intellectual ygor and ability and the charge therefore,
that The institution Of slavery has dwared them, Is un-
founded aud unjust
The gentleman charges also that slavery harens the
heart and destroys the moral and religious faculties Will

northern section OF this country OF higher hoer and
purer character than that which prevails In the South II

literally heretofore to the road, that we
will extend to them strong and liberal
cooperation.
In conclusion, we would direct the atten-
tion of our citizens to extracts from the re-
port of Surveyor General Marlette. In a
letter from O. B. Powers, ESQ.,, to him,
we find the following After giving gen.
eral description of the whole route, its
ascents, grades, wood, water and distance,
he says:
According to the estimated distances, as given
above, the whole distance from Murphy's to
Carys saw mill, is about sixty-fve miles. over
forty OF which, there is now good travelled
wagon road, and fifteen of the remaining twenty
five miles through level meadows, where there
need be nothing done, leaving only ten miles
that will require any expenditure of money or
labor
las we had no barometer, we were unable to
ascertain the height Of the pass but couple of
our party went out on the Hangtown Road to
an elevation some hundreds of feet higher than
the pass on this route, without attaining the
summit. We feel confident, from the easy
grade, the abundant supply of grass and water,
the great quantity of game, fruit, ETC., on this
route that it will prove to be the cheapest, best,
pleasantest and most popular route that can be
found entering the State from the East and
probably the best, if not the only route, over
which railroad can be built"
In another Report of the route from
Mr.. Ira A. Freeman of Murphy's, he SAYS
"The pass must be some hundreds of feet
lower than the summit of the pass on the
Hangtown Road, as Messrs. Noyes and Capron
followed that road to an elevation far above the
pass, to which the exploring party gave the
name of the Governor elect"
X X X X
ait should be said, in conclusion, that the en-
| tire route explored every where abounds in
grass and water, with plenty of timber at hand.
Some of the party, who have again crossed
by the route since their first exploration, are
satisfied that the minutes, and the map or re-
connaissance based upon them, are as correct
as may be without actual survey and measure
ment.
There is little doubt that it is the most eligible
route for either wagon or rail road across
the Sierra"
To the citizens of Calaveras, we would
then say, let the energy and determination
that have heretofore characterized your
course in other things be awakened to
force this proceeding onward, and our
County will truly, soon be the Banner
County in the State for it's enterprise, en-
ergy and population.

MURDER OF DIR. MARSH. On the
morning of the 25th ult., DIR. John Marsh
resident Of some twenty years standing
in California, was found murdered, near
the Ranch of Col. Gift, about two miles
from the town of Martinez. AS the watch
of the deceased was gone, and no money
found on his person it is supposed that he
was murdered for the sake of booty.
A late dispatch from the Office of Wells,
Fargo & Co.'S Express at Benicia, to the
Bay papers, says that one of the murderers,
Jose Antonio Olivas, has been captured,
and a wallet belonging to the Doctor, found
on his person. Parties are on the track of
Felipe Morena, supposed to be implicated
with him.

The CHARTER OAK-A correspondent
of the San Francisco Bulletin says:


The Charter Oak was blown down, you
are aware, during last month. The people
of Hartford mourned for the old tree as if
it were human; they were so proud and
fond of it that it was hard to deny it SEN
timent. The next day the newspapers
appeared in mourning, the church bells
were tolled at sun-down, and fine band
of music played solemn dirges for two
hours over the fallen monarch of the forest.
The tree was believed to be ever so old
| am afraid to say ho,c old. Itstood upon
what was once the estate of Governor
Wyllys, in the old Colonial times. On
the arrival of the Governor from England,
deputation of Indians waited on him and
besought him to spare the Old Oak,
which had been the palladium of their
forefathers from time past. the guide of
their ancestors for centuries" | do be-
lleve there are people in Hartford who
could have cried over that tree A swarm
of bees came out of the trunk after its
fall--no one had known of their presence
In 1t before. They have been hived, and
are to be tenderly cared for forever No
body is to presume to eat this honey
Engravings and daguerreotypes have been
made of the tree, and one sound limb has
been made into an elbow for a new ship,
to be called the Charter Oak.
