CoDLIsIoN.-A great excitement was
kicked up on Montgomery street yesterday,
by n collision between two gentlemen from
Afrca-a boot black and white wash,-
They came together like two bettering rams.
Montgomery street could not have turned
out people faster, if it had been announced
that the comet was coming in contact with
the table mountain. They are both fine rep
resentatives of the African race Jon either one
Of whom charcoal would make a white mark.
Wool was pulled freely for some time,
when the helligerents were parted Shortly
afterwards White prepared himself with a
pistol, and as Wash approached, in passing
through the street, fired at him, the ball
passing within ten feet of Wash's head. No
arrests were made.

good one, whether it has any effect or not.

We had 10 leave the Dogtown stage and

from Frenchtown on the ridge north Of
Concow 1t commenced raining and hailng
and by the time we reached Flea Valley
the storm came on so hard that we were
compelled to halt at small cabin at the
head Of the valley. Soon after stopping n
regular snow storm set in, which decided US
upon camping for the night and returning
the next morning. We found the cabin oc-
upied by Mr. Sanford, who extended to us
every kindness possible lie with Mr..
Fairbanks Of Frenchtown have taken up
Flea Valley as a ranch, and intend building
a public house Ca thing much needed at that
point,) as there is a great deal of travel
through the valley all summer. AS we
were about starting on our return yesterday
morning, Messrs. Fargo and Evans arrived
Mt the cabin; from them we learned that
there was a good Wagon road from Spanish
town to within one mile of Flea Valley;
over which teams are hauling heavy loads

ditch Mr.. Evcns thinks it will be COM
plcted in ten or twelve days. We were also
informed by several parties who seemed to
be familiar with the sountry, that wagon
road could be easily made through these
Valleys to Honey lake, but all said the
road through Dogtown would be the most
practical and less liable & distractions
from snow, and tar easier and cheaper than
any other route. Returning, we had from
the top Of the ridge. south of Concow Valley
II splendid view OF the Coast Range. Sacra-

y BLOODY TRAGEDY.-A correspondent,

the following account of n bloody tragedy
which recently occurred some ten miles be-
low the Valley, between couple of sporting
gents, named NJ. ID Alexander, and John
Young. The latter was very abusive, and
Alexander told him he did not wish to kill
him, when Young drew n pistol Alexan-
der caught the pistol, and drawing knife.
cut Young until he fell Alexander then
attempted to make his escape out of the
room, and in doing so received a shot from
some one of the party, which it was suppOs
ed, would prove fatal, from the amount of
blood that was seen the next morning. He
was tracked by his blood for about half Il
mile, when he stopped and dressed his wound
by tearing his shirt to pieces Ct is suppos-
ed he has pershed in the snow

The Wagon Road Act.


The rush Of matter consequent upon our
recent municipal election, and the numerous
wagon road conventions, has prevented US
from referring to the Act passed by the Leg
islature to provide for the construction Of a
road from 0rovile to a point at, or near
Honey Lake, to intersect the proposed Ma
tional wagon road. The title Of the bill, is
indeed plausible even to the interests of the
people of Orovil but let us see what the
provisions Of the bill are, and then the pub
lie can judge what interests they subserve,
what interests they would operate against
and the design of its orginators. To do
this, it is only necessary to quote portion
of the first section This section, after ap-
pointing VIM L. Urton and Jacob 5. Morris,
Of Butte county, and William Buckholder
and r. Chambers, of Plumas county, a
board of wagon road commissioners, thus
imperatively points out their duty:
1T shall be the duty Of said Board of com
missioners, to cause to be located, improved
or constructed, a wagon road from Oroville
Butte county, passing thence near Menden-
hall Ranch to the south east side of Middle
Feather river ria Bidwell, thence from the
north side of said rivers to, and intersecting
at the most practicable point, the line of the
proposed national wagon road that has its
terminus at, or near Honey Lake, Plunsas
county, in accordance with the provisions Of
this Act "
m al mn tho
commissioners to locate the road from Orc.
willie to Bidwell, in order to secure the sue.
cess of the toll-briage propretors who orig
mated it. For Butte county to construct
the road as located by this bill, is to impose
n mountainous and poisonous route upon i'm
migration, and also, to turn the Plumas
trade and travel through Bidwell to Ma.
rysville, as it provides for the construction
of wagon road running completely around
Olovlle. 1t was this effect Of its provisions
that secured to its support the assistance OF
Yuba delegation, on its passage, and of the
Plumas delegation, because it provides for
the construction Of a road through that
mountainous county.
The first section then. shows that the bill
was originated by those interested in the
Bidwell bridge, and that its effect would be
to turn the trade Of the Northern and East.
ern mines to Marysville The projectors of
the bill declined permitting it to be amend
ed, so that the Supervisors should locate the
road as they deemed public interests might
require. 1t was originated for a certain
purpose,-that of securing the travel to the
Bidwell bridge, and that must be effected,
or nothing. and without regard to the wants
and interests of other sections.
Under this section of the bill, the tax
payers OF the county are called unon to vote
upon theinsulting proposition to bald road
which shall turn the travel away from them,
and contribute to the prosperity of neigh
boring town. We shall refer to this subject
again.
