Tehama C0unsy.

We listened with pleasure to the remarks
Of Judge Harrison, of Tehama county, made
i'll the Judicial Convention on the Goth inst
After the nomination had been declared
unanimous, Judge Harrison addressed the
Convention, pledging the Democracy of Te-
hama to support the nominee of the Con-
vention. and assured those present, that if
that nominee had not been, as it undoubt-
ediy was, the almost unanimous choice o.
that county, that her Democracy would
have yielded willing support to the wishes
of f'ie majority. honorably and fairly ex-
pressed, and recognized no such doctrine as
boltng-ho such Democracy as required a
majority to yield to the will of the minority.
His remarks were made in the true Demo-
cratic spirit, and were received with ap.
plause. The three votes of Tehama county
were cast for Mr. Sexton. and the efforts of
private interests will fail to turn her from
her duty, and bolt the fair and unequivocal
wishes of majority of the District.

The Overland Mail Route.

By the next steamer from New York We
may confidently expect to learn to whom the
contract has been let for conveying weekly
mail from the Atlantic States to California,
Uid. the Plains.
BY far the most reasonable bid yet made
is that of Messrs. johnson & Clarke, who
propose the line from st. Louis, Fort Inde-
pendence, Fort Larimie, Salt Lake. and
Honey Lake, and name the terms $250,000
for semi monthly, $34O, 100 for weekly,
and $500, 900 for mi-weekly mail.
If propositions to carry the mail through
the most feasible route and at the lowest
figure are to have precedence. we are led to
hope that the Honey Lake route will be the
one, and the designation of that route as the
course for the National Wagon Road enconr-
ages the idea.
1t is to be hoped that the postal depart
ment will soon take definite action in this
business and provide US with this long need
ed mail line. The whole business of the
State needs it, and the interests of large
portion of the mercantile community of the
Atlantic States demand its speedy establish
ment. The mere fact that the lowest bid is
from parties proposing the Honey Lake
route, pronounce it the most accessible, as
it really is. We have Ieasons deduced from
the state of facts just mentioned. for hoping
that along with the tide Of migration which
is sure to set toward the Honey Lake road,
and thence through this portion of the State,
that Uncle Sans mail line may come this
Way also.

Want of appreciation and patronage of the

CRossING THE PLAINs.--We learn from
the Greenfield (Mo) Soeth,cester, that en-
igration to California is greatly on the in
crease in that part Of the State, never before
having been greater, if equalled, unless in
the years 1851 and 1852. As many as twen-
ty wagons a week have passed through
Greenfield this spring, bound for California.
and it is thought that 1000 head of cattle
have gone from that county, ana twice as
many from Greene.
