Comm stnicAted.

Mr.. EDITOR In common with many 9TH
ers, you appear to entertain an opinion that
the duties of our Supervisors extend to the
immediate supervision of the condition Of
our highways. Such is not the case. II is,
alone, the duty of the " Road Overseer to
keep the roads in repair. If he neglects to
perform his duties, complaint may bs made,
by any citizen, to the Board Of Supervisors.
If such neglect is made to appear. it then
becomes the duty of the Board to remove
him and appoint an efficient person in his
place. B.
We suppose this to be a reply to an article
which appeared in yesterdays Record, call
ing the attention of the Supervisors to the
ferry road, and to set ourselves right before
the Board, We will state by way of explana-
ton, that we intended no complaint of neg
lect on the part of anobody, but merely
wished to draw the attention of those whom
it might concern, to the condition of the road
in question.-ED.

SPANIsHTowN, Jan. -, 1867.


Mr. EDIToR-Sir Noticing no correspon-
dence from this section of the globe since the
departure of the Judge" and believing
our town is worthy o. notice, have taken it
upon myself to send you few lines by way
OF slant, but as for giving you news, l
cannot, as our town is like most mountain
towns, of that dull, monotonous character,
which admits of little comment; yet we have
had for the last few weeks, subjects enough
to give you volumes, if it suited our taste to
tell you Of fast whiskey- fighting men, or
fast riding, even like unto Jehu the son of
Nmshi, yet all these are commonplace oc-
currences, and Notwithstanding they are ev-
licences of the life and action of our flourish
ing town. had rather tell you something Of
our doings in a more substantial way.
Our town has been very dull, but for the
last two weeks times have greatly improved
and indeed it now looks but little like the
Spanishtown of a month ago.
The late rains have furnished bountiful
supply of water in the main ravines, and our
miners have met with much better success
than was anticipated. hear of very few
that are not doing well, yet diggings with
out some failures, is what have never seen.
Mr.. Whites company Of three men, took
out the last three days of last week, $50.
The Spanish claim took out six ounces to the
pan yesterday, and all that have claims on
the main ravine seem to be doing land Of
fee business
understand from MIR. Rafell, that he has
fully tested his quartz lode near Jourdon
Hill, and that it will yield from $50 to $3.50
per ton. With rastras this is big pay, and
from the appearance of the quartz l have
seen in this vicinity, do not doubt but that
this is as rich quartz section as there is in
the State, and do think this will be an i'm
portant and extensive branch of our mines
Under the management of Mr.. Dicky, our
big ditch is progressing finely, and in about
three or four weeks we will have an abund-
ance Of water on our highest hills.
Through the politeness of the accommoda
ting agent of the Pacific Express Co., the be-
nevolent conntenance of the Record greets
US daily. Yours, in haste, PHELIx.

ANOTHER ExPEDlrIoN.-We learn, upon
what We consider reliable authority, that
there is no doubt an expedition is being fit
ted out in this State to aid in revolutionizing
the State of Sonora. Already large num-
ber Of adveuturers have been enlisted in the
service, and it is expected that in o short
time the new liberators will leave for the
point of rendezvous. 1t is further believed
that not less than three thousand men will
be engaged in the enterprise. and that they
proceed at the invitation of many Of the
most prominent and wealthy citizens Of So
nora If rumor is correct in naming the
leaders Of the movement, we are inclined to
think that the expedition has been entrusted
to the guidance of competent and enterpri.
sing heads Whether the filibusters are
completely revolutionary in their ideas, or
whether they only intend to depose the
reigning authorities, we have not been in

A DISTRESSING 0CcURRENCE.-The San
Francisco Herald contains the following ac-
count of the sudden death of little child in
that city on Tuesday last:-A little boy
about twenty months old, belonging to Mr.
Devoe, died last week under circumstances
painful in the extreme. He suddenly became
i'll, and doctor being sent for, pronounced
the child sick with Group. The little feliew
rapidly got worse, and died in two hours
One of the ladies of the house thought she
felt small lump in his throat. The physi-
ican made an examination after death, but
instead of finding his prognosticatons about
Group verified, he discovered a steel button
lodged in the throat, and that the poor inno-
cent had died from suffocation

A Steamboat TO Oroyillc,

Alludiag to an article that appeared in
the Record few days since, the Sacramento
Union makes the following sensible remarks:
AS Oroville is greatly more interested than
any other point, it strikes us that it would
be an excelen: idea for the citizens of that
Hourishing town to have complete survey
OF the river made, and an estimate formed of
the probable cost of removing snags and put
ting the river in boatable order. Were the
river cleared of snags, we suppose no very
great difficulties would be met in navigating
it for portion of the winter, and while the
volume of water was increased by the rains
and melting snow.
If boats can be run to Orovlle for four
months in the year, only, it would add in
calculably to the growth, prosperity, and
trade of the town. With fair navigation,
Oroville should, from its favorable location,
become one of the most important towns and
trading points in the interior. 1t is situated
to command large portion of the trade of
any population which may settle upon the
forks of Feather River, and those forks, with
their tributaries, drain very extensive
mining and mountain agricultural section of
the State.
But, to control the trade of that large sec
ton, it is necessary that Oroville should
possess the advantages # steamboat or rail
| rood communication Tho lattor oba x;ll
doubtless have in few years, and probably
a little extra exertion, and the expenditure
of few thusand dollars, may give her a
steamboat communication with this city.
Were the river cleared out, the Steam Nav
| gation Company, we are sure, would put a
line of boats upon t-provided the water
will justify it. They ran boats, last summer,
to Red Bluffs, on the Sacramento, when they
had only fifteen inches Of water on the bars,
and among snags so thick that, to the eye of
the passenger, it seemed impossible for the
steamer to find an opening sufficiently broad
for passage. In the summer, we should
infer that the Feather river would afford
more water on its bars above than below the
mouth of the Yuba. These are matters,
however, which should be fully investigated
by the business men and property holders
in Oroville. Let them show to the country
that the river upon which their rapidly
| growing town is situated, can be navigated,
and then. if the Steam Navigation Company
| neglect to put on boats, let them build boat
and demonstrate the fact that the thing can
| be done.
