ORovILLE, MAY II, 1867.


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, uia, 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 change come over my views on that
suhject-and sir, through the medium of
your paper, | wish to say few words to
the people of OIoville concerning their in
terests in the construction of said road.
Gentlemen of 0roville-do you wish to see
the seven or eight hundred pack mules that
are employed now on the route between
Marysville, 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 in
Bidwell (and is patronized largely,) here in
your town? If such is your desire Gentle
men, you can have it, but not without
action! Orovllians, the present writer has
no part or lot in the affairs of Judge Lewis
or any other party or parties in reference
to the above alluded to roads; but having
had occasion within the last four days to
travel over that portion of the road between
this place and Walkers Plains (35 miles
from here) and seeing the immense trade
this country supports, and which 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 a direct
course from not only this place, but also
from Marysville l have been within myself
prompted to write upon this subject, and
now would say Gentlemen, in order to sat
isfy yourselves on this subject (Which is of
vast Importance to this town) ride as | have
done from Buckeye--count the 800 pack
mules that met heavily laden in travelling
over but 35 miles of the road-then stand
on point in the vicinity of Jack Ranch,
and look down at the short distance that it
is to Oroville, and from thence to Marysville
as compared with the tortuous windings of
the present roundabout travelling road by
the way of Bidwell, and if then you do not
become alive to the Importance of a
speedy construction Of a road by the juno
ton from this place to American Valley,
the present writer will forever agree to
remain mute on that subject Gentlemen
it will cost money, but you can bring that
trade through Oroville, and when once here
if you canuot sell them goods the fault will
rest with yourselves Meet. appoint COM
mittee of your citizens in whom you have
confidence with instructions to gather sta
tistics, make surveys, estimates &C., don't let
your natural commercial privileges remain
undeyeloped for want of attention to them.
Yours J. S. B.

We received visit on Wednesday, from
]. L. Henshaw, Esq, one of the owner
of the Fernandez grant. Mr.. Henshaw
Granery was burned on Sunday morning
and some three thousand bushels of grail

Mr.. Henshaw furnished US With the fol.
lowing notice, which we copy uer5utim.--
1t is written in disguised hand and
was found sticking to a tree. short
distance below Ranchera Diggings. 1t
bears no date, but cne paragraph shows that
it was in contemplation to FIRE the building
Such an infamous policy as this poster fore
shadows, can hat operate to the disadyan-
tage IF settlers on the grant, and to preju-
dice such rights as they may possess to the
land they occupy. We trust the author
Of this infamous and threatning docume nt
tells the truth when he says he speaks for
but one. Our acquaintance with many of
the settlers on this grant, induces US te re-
pei the idea that they would be parties to
any such Infamous ard criminal combina-
ton, aud they eve it to themselves to assist
in ferreting out and bringing to justice the
incendiary. Hereis the document:

You can see by what will happen to night

means or foul. They are also strongly sus-
pected of having robbed "a man OF bag Of
gold dust. near Stockton, recently They
hired two horses, and it is supposed made
their way towards Sonora, Mexico,
Johnson was found gagged and robbed q
in the telegraph Office, at Sacramento. about
one year ago He was the operator in that
office, and the money taken belonged to the
Company. Since the above facts have come
to light, it is reasonable to suppose, as
many did at the time of the occurrence,
that Johnson gagged himself, having pre-
viously made way with the money. Both
the above parties came across the plains in
1853, from st. Louis Express

]. NJ, SPEEGLE rs II. CLANCY.
A process was issued by Justice Wright
and put into the hands Of an officer who
of course was commanded to levy upon the
goods and chattels of the said Chany, to sat
isfy debt and costs The constable mounted
upon his mule charger, proceeded with due
gravity to fulfil the charge committed to
him; but unforeseen difficulties beset the
path of all men, and not unfrequently in
terrupts the even tenor of their ways, as
hidden rocks or snags turn aside or destroy
the smoothly gliding boat. To levy upon
some favorite cows, was an easy matter,
but to drive them away proved hercuean
task, for the fair ones came to the rescue
recaptured the stock, and put the intruder
to fight
posse comitatus consisting of, | know
not how many, were summoned to fly to the
aid of the officer, to recover the cattle AMI
vndicate the majesty of the law. The con-
stable now, with a formidable force, pro-
ceeded to the house to perform his duty
without fear of molestation-but all re-
turned rs they went. Report says that
clubs and scalding water in the hands of
the gentler sex, overcame the fortitude of
the bravest and caused them to abandon the
dangerous enterprise for the present. On
the following day, May 18th, matters be-
gan to assume threatening aspect. Mr..
CLANCY. has wife, and two three
daughters were summoned to appear be-
fore Thos. s. Wright, a justice of the peace
to answer to the charge of resisting an Of
fcer in the lawful discharge of his duties
The evidence was taken and Clancy was
fined S25 and costs, but the ladies were very
justly, dealt with more leniently. They
were very ably instructed in the nature Of
claw and Order mildly reprimanded and
discharged. Thus all passed off agreeably
aud to-day the world wags as it wagged
before.
