The expedition from Oroville to Honey
Lake, who go out to test the practlcabihty
of running a Stage Coach over the Nevada
Mountains on the route advocated by the
Oroville Convention, left Oroville last eve
ming, intending to drive as far as Fences
Ranch, from which place they will start this
morning. The party consists OF Messrs.
Gamble and Galloway, of Marysville, and
Messrs Brown, Hunt, and McDermot, OF
Oroville. These gentlemen go out with one
of the California Stage Company's coaches.
We believe it is the intention of others to
follow on horseback, in day or two The
party going up in the coach, will bring back
as passengers G. A. Thomas, Esq, of the
California Stage Company. and Mr.. Cook,
who accompanied the toll gathering comis-
sioners appointed by the Marysviile Conven-
ton to locate the immigrant road through
the American Valley. We are willing to leave
the merits of the two routes to Mr.. Thomas
who, after going out by the American Val
ley, as an outside passenger on a mule, will
return by the 0roville route in stage
coach.
The sides Of the coach were decorated
with banners, of which the following is q

Immigrant Road conx,n,,on

This convention for the counties of Rutta
Colusi, Plumas and Tehama, met in Oroviue
On Saturday last. The proceedings Of the
of the convention will be found in to.dav's
paper As intimated in the resolutions
adopted. the convention was rendered neces.
sary by the selfish action Of the Marysvins
convention. in abandoning the only practi.
cable route for postal road, or a railroad.
north of the 32nd parallel, and adopting d
tortorous and mountainous one, which will
accommodate only the investments of specu.
lators in toll roads and bridges, and beneh!
localities by turning the immigration by
their doors. The great consideration by
which men have for years protested to be
scserncd-that of finling the shortest, and
cheapest, and most feasible route for an en-.
trance for the national highway through the
Nevada Mountains into California-had no
weight with the majority of the self h spir-
its which composed the Marysville Conven-
ton. and selfi~hbess sacrifced the advan.-
ages possessed by northern California, and
resolved that il was the duty of the National
government to adopt their toll roads, as the
route for the great national overland mail.
This is the meaning of their action, III was
not the plain declaration of their convention.
This action was taken by the 1larysville
convention, whilst nearly all Of its members
admitted that they were not adopting the
best route for the immigration, but one, as
it was urged, that would accommodate the
greatest local interest, by enabling them to
speculate upon 1.-THE wants and misfortunes
of the immigrant"
1t was this unprincipled action, that gave
rise to the effort of Saturday. 1t was not
alone the benefits that might be derived
from a weak exhausted immigration, at the
end of two thousand miles journey, but
every person present on Saturday, felt that
the route adopted, merited the favorable
consideration of the entire State of Califor-
MIA, as being the shortest, and best route
from Utah territory to our State capitol,
as it avoids the vast deserts surrounding the
sink of the Humboldt river, through which
every immigrant route into California leads.
The convention did not deem it necessary
to make great blow over their doings.-
They met for the parpose of organizing
movement which should bring the adyanta-
ges of northern California, in this respect,
properly before the public of California, and
the national government, and to raise such
an amomnt Of funds as they are able, to be
expended in improving that portion of the
route lying between the Sacramento Valley
and the eastern boundary of the State. The
matter is now in the hands of the Directors
appointed by the Convention, and We trust
they will prosecute their labor with vigOr.
In doing so, they will need the assistance of
our citizens generally, which will not, we
are confident, be withheld.

From Coming up from
Marysville on the stage last Tuesday, we
fell in conversation with Mr.. Lane, who
has just returned from Nicaragua, where
he had been in Walkers army for nineteen
months. He gave us some interesting as
well as thrilling incidents of life with Gen.
Walker, and said that even in his desperate
situation, he would not leave the country
were a ladder let down from Heaven. and
he had chance to climb it, Walker knows
no such word as fail, and when Mr. Lane
left told him (Walker) that he had no
chance, as he would soon be starved out,
when Walker, with smile aud an air of
confidence, said that ''in less than month
he should have undisputed possession of the
whole five States, with his flag floating to
the breeze over the capitol of Nicaragua :"
Mr.. Lane thinks that ere this, Walker and
his gallant band have been entirely cut to
pieces. The news by the next steamer is
anxiously looked for.

This party go out for the purpose of dem
onstrating to the people of the State of Cal
iforna, and to the National authorities at
Washington, that there is natural stage
road from the Sacramento Valley across the
Nevada Mountains tc Utah. They will meet
at Honey Lake the party, who go out by the
authority of the Marysville convention, to
turn the immigration into a mountainous
and poisonous route, because, as two of the
Marysville papers say it will accommodate
the largest population, and offer the best
facilities for trade" We have not space to-
day. to comment on the difference in the
missions Of these two parties-The one seek
ing the easiest route for the weary immi
grant to enter the State, and the other en-
deavoring to turn him into the mountains
that he may contribute to the receipts of
their toll-roads and bridges, and-"offer
the best facilities for trade -

BENEFIT OF STERLING A. HopKINs--The
of the benefit of this ndividual-one of the
conspicuous actors in the first great trad
gedy performed in San Francisco by the
Vigilance Committee. He was supposed to
be entitled to benefit, from the fact that
canvass representation of the scenes of that
tradgedy (Which he had been endeavoring
to get the people to patrcnize as an object
Of a,husement,) was destroyed by FIRE
short time ago. The bill was to consist of
the performances of the Burlesque Negro
Troupe, and the farce of Born to Good
Luck" in which he himself was announced
to appear as Paddy 0Rafferty About one
hundred and fifty people assembled to see
him. The Troupe refused to play without
pay in advance, and nothing but the farce
was enacted During the play a rope con-
tanning hangmah's knot on each end was
thrown on the stage. In one scene he ar
rested a ferrocious murderer, dressed in red
and as he said ''off with him." the response
was, Eyes, to Fort Gunny Bags" and Hop
kns, as if obeying the order, lodged out of
sight with hsi captive. When he said 4
can starve, but not murder" there were
few Ella ulations of doubt heard to come
from the parquette At the finale, where
they all take hold of hands, cries were
raised of s'AIr Coad, don't touch his hands
there's blood upon them 'sMadam don't
touch his hand" SC

Touched to the Quick.

The toll gathering imposters who assem-
blcd in Marysville on the 4th inst, and
adopted mountainous toll-road for the
Immigration to enter California, do not like
the resolutions adopted by the Orovile Road
Convention of Saturday last The Marys-
Vile Express of Wednesday. after nursing
its wrath for two or three days, spits forth
its venom as follows:
There was one feature of the proceedings, which
we regret as we consider 1t i'll bad taste, and unjust
towards largs nun Der of respectable citizens We
feel well assured. that the gentlemen composing the
convention held in his city, respectable and
honorable as those met in Oroville. and any in
sinuntions against their int gritty graiulous
as they are unjust therefore say, unhes atingly.
h the first of the series of resolutions published
in the butte Record of Monday, is alike dsgrac,ful
iu to the committee who reported it, and the con-
ventIun VINO adopted it, as ii contains gross SANDER
against large number OF honorable and respectable
citizens
Here is the resolution referred to:
Pesolred That this Convention views with abhor-
renee and mitigation, the attempt of the Mary
Convention 10 speculate upon the wants and misfor-
tunes of the cmgranis. by recommer ding route for
n wagon road which is ncapable Of being made prac-
ticable and which is selected only because it com
ports best with personal specu'atiops.
1t is we'll known by every one familiar
with the route from the American Valley.
that it is o mountainous and poisonous
route, intersected with toll roads and
bridges. 1t is also we'll known that nearly
all the practicable portion OF the route
through Sierra County to the American Val
| lev is a toll road 1t is well known that a
majority of the Commissioners appointed BY
the Marysville Convention to locate the i'm
migrant road to the American Valley, are
interested in these ollroads and bridges.
The proceedings of the Marysvile Conven-
ton show that some of its members, while
urging the adoption of the American Valley
route because it would accommodate the
greatest local interest, were willing to ad-
nit that the route through Oroville was the
most practicable for an immigrant road We
think the Express admitted this fact a day
or two after their Convention.
1t was this attempt to turn the overland
immigration through a mountainous route
that it might accommodate local interests,
that the Oroville Convention viewed ''with
abhorancc and Indignation ;; and their SEN
timents will meet the appreciation of all
disinferested {. honorable and respectable
citizens and the balance may vent their
spleen and foul aspersions against Commit
find mediums willing to give them currency.
