The total amount of money from all sour
ces paid out during the year, was SO ,OO733
The amount of school moneys remaining on
hand Oct. 2lst, was s953.32.
The State makes an apportionment of
school moneys on the lst Of January, and
1st of July of each year. The county made
its appointments on the lst of June, and
the 3lst of October The January appor-
tonment of the State was $1.65 for each
child returned between the ages Of and IS,
and the July apportionment was sl.04. The
June apportionment of the county was 81. .95,
and in October 81 cents.
BY the above table it will he seen that
but nine schools received moneys from the
State last year. This was caused by failure
to make the proper returns. Five others
would have lost their apporionment but for
the exertions of the present uperinteulent,
he having taken the office in time to cause
the necessary returns to be made.
At the present time there are fifteen pub
lie schools in the county, and an additional
one will soon be in operation. More interest
than formerly is manifested in the cause Of
education, by parents, and the advantages
offered by the school system OF the State
are more readily embraced.
Mr. Millette has exerted himself to sys-
tematise and establish the different schools
of the county, and extend the facilities for
school attendance to the children in all the
settled parts Of the county, and we are pleas
ed to note that his efforts have been 50 sue
cessful.
Our common schools are yet in their in
fancy, but the benefits to be derived from
them may even now be felt, and as years in
crease their number and utility, the wisdom
displayed by the State in fostering these
primary institutions of learning will be more
apparent in the improved tone of CALIFORNIA;
society.

A Coat of Tar but no Cash.

During the late run upon the banks in
Ohio, the citizens Of Springfield hit upon
an expedient to prevent the drawing of coin
from their banks by persons from distance,
that was both novel and etfectual.
An agent of Cincinnati broker presented
himself at the counter of the Mad River
Valley Branch of the State Bank of Ohio,
at Springfield, and was about to demand
$4,000 in coin for the paper of the bank when
number of the citizens gathered in and in
formed the agent that the 'thing couldn't
be did"-that they had concluded not to
permit the coin to be drawn from their
banks and taken out Of the town; and to
give effect to their words, a bucket of tar
and a fence rail was brought before the as
tonished vision of the broker, who was coolly
informed that he would "get some of that"
if he persisted in his demand for coin. This
was too much for the broker who left very
much disgusted at the manner in which
banking was conducted in that town.
Since the adoption of the plan, confidence
in the stability of Springfield Banks has
been restored.

More Ocean Coffins for California Pas
Seng0rS.


A gentleman who came passenger on the
last steamer, informs us that when he pur-
chased his ticket in New York, the steamer
Star of the West was the vessel advertised
to leave, but was found to leak so badly after
hauling into her dock that the 81 Louis
was substituted in her place. And further,
that it was reported among the passengers
that the ST. Louis had seven feet of water
in her hold when she arrived at Aspinwal}
If these statements are Garrett no words
of condemnation are too strong to be used
against the heartless monopy that would
thus tamper with the hundreds of valuable
lives intrusted to their care.
And the Directors that would send vessels
to sea in such unsafe condition deserve to be
punished by the iahiction, Of the severest
penalties Of the law.
In this instance the Star Of the Vest
would have been sent off with hundreds of
passengers, had she not been found in a
sinking condition at the wharf. The St.
Louis proved little better, and fortunately
made the trip to Aspinwal in safety.
Another Central 1merica disaster is i'm
pending!

Mining Items,

The Placer Courier gives the following
interesting items from the mines at Sarahs-
Vile.
At Sarahsvile, the Golden Gate Tunnel
Company, last week, took out in three days
washing, one hundred and sixty ounces of
gold; and the dirt seems to improve in rich
ness as they penetrate nearer theEceptre of
the lode.
Mr.. Nevitt has got nearly into pay dirt
with his tunnel, and the probability is, that
it will equal in richness the best claim on
this Divide. His Company are confident,
and already shares are held at very high
figure.
A new Quartz Mill was finished and
commenced crushing, at the same place, last
Thursday, and is doing well-paying the
stockholders handsome profit on their in
vestment.
There are large number Of others near
this place, that are paying equally as lich.
Some Of the companies count their re-
turns by pounds, and very few Of them are
making less than an ounce per day to the
man.

War;.

The proclamation of Brigham Young
breathes warlke spirit, anG forces the be-
lief that the previous Boosting and outra-
ges of the Mormons were not without de-
sign and determination to 90 to extreme
measures if the General Government did
not permit them to have their own way.
This proclamation, in effect, is declaration
of war against the people Of the United
States, and there is but little doubt that ere
this Brigham's infatuated followers and the
troops have met in bloody conflict; and there
is much reason to fear that Col. Johnston's
command of 5000 men have Jared badly
among their more numerous and fanatcal
foes. The next news from Salt Lake will in
all probability relieve the general anxiety, but
will not put better face on affairs in that
quarter. The only manner ia which troub-
e can be avoid ed is, in the Mormons rece-
ding from the defiant position they have as
sumed; their past history, shows them more
disposed to give and receive blows than to
back down. And as they have declared
that no one shall rule over them but Brig
ham Young, we believe that the General
Government will be compelled to install Col.
Cummings as Governor Of Utah, by force
of arms.
Such manner Of instaliation is to be de-
plored, bpt from present appearance seems
inevitable.

Movements of Brigham Young.

The Marysvlle Herald of the oath, says:
Mr. James E. Martin, and three Others,
arrived here, via Honey Lake. from Hams
Fork which is about 140 miles east of Salt
Lake, where the 9th Regiment of U. S. In
fantry, (the advance guard Of the troops,) in
command Of Col. Alexander, were at the
latest dates encamped.
Mr. Martin travelled in, company with the
troops for protection. lie left Col. Alex
ander's camp Oct Cd; arrived at Honey
Lake 10th inst, very much exhausted by
fatigue and exposure, having travelled al
most exclusively by night to avoid the In
dians. lie brings the startling intelligence
that in all probability, ere this, battle has
been fought between the troops and the
Mormons. A few days before he left Hams
Fork, Brigham Young sent out to Col.
Alexander Proclamation, asking him what
he intended doing, and informing him that
he could not come into the yalley. The Col
onel replied that he was daily expecting the
arrival of his commanding officer, and that
he would lay the Proclamation before him
on his arrival, but that he had special orders
from the President of the United States to
90 TO Salt Lake City, and no otAer orders
could be respected.
Mr.. Martin says it was reported that large
bodies of Mormon troops are stationed on
the road between Fort Blidger and Salt Lake,
and that expresses were constantly passing
and re-passing between Salt Lake and some
point east of Aexander's encampment, prob
ably carrying intelligence in regard to the
rear division Of the army. Mr.. Martin thinks
collision inevitable, and finding matters
growing pretty warm, concluded to come on
to California.
Brigham says, Therefore, I, Brigham
Young. Governor and Superintendent of In
dian Affairs for the Territory of Utah, in
the name of the people of the United States
in the Territory of Utah: lst. Forbid all
armed forces of every description from COM
ING into the Territory under any preteAse

Putting in the Crops.

The short crops Of last summer, caused
BY the early and continued drouth, has learn
ed our farmers valuable lesson as to the
best time to SOW their grain. This season
they have commenced early, and have been
active i'll blowing and sowing for some weeks.
Already number of fields have assumed
the yerdare of spring, the weather for the
past nsonth having been favorable for grain
in tie ground. Last year many farmers did
not SOW until early in the spring, and coa-
sequently they had but little to reap when
the harvest came. That experience will
cause them To accept the fall as the best
time for putting in grain. From present in
dcations it is safe to predict bountiful
harvest next year.
