We NEED A THEATRE.-Wc sincerely
hope that Messrs Morris s. Co. are not 60
ing to abandon their project of building a
Theatre over their present structure, on the
corner of Bird and Huntoon streets. There
are many reasons why a theatre is q de-
sirable property, and one which not only
pays good interest to its owners, but is
really great benefit TO the town. We are
told by Mr.. Morris that even with the old
theatre, he realized in fourteen months
moro than three thousand dollars, and GER
tainly a good building, well arranged would
command the patronage of the better class
of theatrical managers and companies, and
would be occupied large portion of the
time. We are convinced that n good thea
tire would be better paying property than
any other, and that it would be one of the
very best things for the welfare of the
town at large

The Two Raods.

A gentlemen who has just returned from
tramp to Honey Lake, whittier he went by
oar road, and came by the Indian and AM
erican Valley trail, has furnished us with
the following items, comparative of the two
roads:
As has been reiterated by everyone who
has travelled to the Lake by our route, he
found the road easy of ascent and perfectly
accessible at all points to wagons and horses
He remained in the Valley of Honey Lake
for two or three days, and to satisfy his Gu
riosity regarding the much talked of wagon
road through Indian and American Valleys
he came to the former by the most accessi-
hle trail, and on foot as he was, found great
difficulty in making the trip, and pronounces
it and the balance of the route to American
/ Valley and thence to the summit of the
mountains impracticable as a wagon route,
and excessively difficult as a bride trail.
Being a vigorous walker, he made forty
miles day between Lovelocks and Honey
Lake, but found it n most difficult days
task to walk from Honey Lake to Indian
Valley, a distance Of abodt twenty miles
Aside from the great superiority which
our road possesses over the other in point of
grade and accessibility is the fact, that
along its entire line from Honey Lake
through the various meadows, the grass is
of most superior quality and in great
abundance, and unlike. that of the grazing
lands on the other route, is unoccupied by
grasping land holders, and therefore entire
ly free to the range of the emigrant stock
Our Informant says that certain parties
with a desire to injure the stage route, have
circulated story to the effect that the six
, pioneer stage travellers accomplished their
journey on horseback, leaving their stage to
be drawn to Honey Lake empty. That this
story is entirely false is capable of proof not
only by the gentlemen themselves, but by
the various inhabitants along the line of the
road and in Honey Lake Valley. They
went there in The stage, and returned in
the stage, and what is more, made the trip
in better time than it can oe accomplished
on the other route, from Bidwell's Bar TO
Honey Lake Valley with saddle animals.
The evidence of the infinite superiority of
the '0roville Stage road" over all others, is
too strong to need further comment at our
: hands. That it is the very best route yet
discovered is indisputable and we confidently
expect to see the larger portion of the over
land emigration pour into Oroville the COM
ing autumn, by way of this great natural
highway.

with horse stealing. They are both lodged

WILSON FLINT-This gentlemen, who be-

against the Joint Convention. In the letter..
Mr.. Flint, as were, by accident, casually
tells Of a little piece of trickery which the
Know Nothings had in contemplation in the
winter of 1856. 1t will be remembered that
in the Know Nothing Legislative caucus,,
Gov. Foote and H. A Crabb were the princi--
pal aspirants for the United States Senate,
and that before Gov. Foote was nominated,
Mr. Crabb was Withdrawn. 1t appears that
/ the name of Mr.. Crabb was Withdrawn with
the express understanding that sometime
during the winter another Joint Convention
was to be held, and Mr.. Crabb was to be
elected to succeed Col Weller. The Know
Nothings evidently felt that their lease of
Office was short, and were determined to
make the most of what they had.
