MR. CRosETTE:
DEAR SIR.-Like most of the citizens of
this place, | had been taught to believe
that the articles that have appeared from
time to time in your paper, in reference
to the road from this place, ria the juno
ton to Jacks ranch and American valley;
partook more Of the nature of private
difficulty between yourself and Judge Lewis
than otherwise; but SIR, have very recently
had n change come over my views on that
subject-and sir, through the medium Of
YOUR paper, | wish 10 say few words TO
the people of Oroville concerning their in
terests in the construction OF said road.
Gentlemen Of Oroville-do you wish to see
the seven or eight hundred pack mules that
are employed now on the route between
Marysvile, Meadow and American valleys
directed through this place, also the trade
of the different Hotels and trading posts
between here and those points Likewise
would You like TO see the Office OF the Amer
lean Valley Stage Co.. which IS now kept III
Bdwell (and is patronlzed largely) here IN
your town? IT such is your desire Gentle
men, YOU can have it, but not without
action! Orovnhans, the present writer has
no part or lot IN the affairs of Judge Lewis
or any other party or parties III reference
to the above alluded to roads; but having
had occasion within the last four days t.
travel over that portion of the road between
this place aud Walkers Plains (35 miles
from herc) and seeing the immense trade
this country supports, and winch trade or
travel as the road now runs is diverted some
three or four miles south Of this place, and
as far as three or four miles out OF II direct
course from not only this place, but also
from Marysvile have been within myself
prompted TO write ppon this subject, and
now | would say Gentlemen. in order to sat

vast importance to this town. ride as | have
done from Buckeyc.-count the 800 pack
mules that met heavily laden in travelling

THE Toll GATHERERs ARGUMENT.-lt
is a iavorite argument with the Bidwell
toll gatherers and their Marysville adjuncts,
that it is against the interests of 0roville to
have the immigrant road constructed on its
natural route, because it may build up a
rival town on the Sacramento river If
there is any truth or force in this argument
at all, il demonstrates to Oroville the actual
necessity of opening the road from here
to the junction. Let our citizens set about
in earnest, and see how quick the toll gath
erers and their Marysvlle allies will dry
up their silly twaddle about rival town on
the Sacramento II we do this, it would
permit such immigration as might be de-
ceved into travelling their mOuntainou, and
poisonous route to pass through Orouue
The construction of this road, and it is but
about g miles TO its intersection with the
toll gatherer's road, would enable Oromlle
to reap the benefit OF the exertlons OF the
Marysyille convention, and Of whatever
amount Of money they choose to spend ABOVE
