Shall we be seea mboe.ed

Viii! the California Steam Navigation Co.,
or any other owners of steamboats, attempt
the navigation ofFeather River this winter
The river is now running full and deep and
Is just as capable Of ascent and descent as it
was during most Of the days that boats ran
too and from here last year. Our trade is
increasing every day, now that the rain has
set in and filed the gulches and bitches with
water for the miners. and with this increase
of trade comes aA increase of freight from
Marysville and Sacramento, and in the pres
ent condition Of the roads teaming is diffcult
and as the season advances will become al
most impossible. The boats that ran here
last season were well supported by freight
ers and travellers and certainly the river is
just as navigable as il was then
We are impatient te hear the whistle of
steamboats, at our river side, and wish we
could urge somebody or some company to
place a boat on the 0roville trade al once 1t
will certainly pay; for to say nothing Of
the freight boat would carry, there are at
least, now, one hundred travellers going
from and coming to Oroville on their way
hither and above and below this point every
day that would, of course, travel by steam
in preference to staging through the mud
We believe that all our citizens are anxious
to have the town approached by steamboats,,
while there is a possibility of the rivers be-
ing navigated, and would all tender it their
support as they did last winter. We speak
of this matter thus early, hoping to influence
those interested in steamboating to turn
their attention hitherward in time to secure
all the trade which would naturally be done
on the river between now and another dry
season. A daily line--two boats could not
fail to pay those who might run them, and
the convenience of trade and travel they
would offer, would be "Golsend" to Orc
Vile.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

ARTEsIAN WELLS FOR MINING =. The idea
of boring artesian wells for the purpose of
mines, has been a subject of discussion
among newspaper writer's and others for
several years. The peculiar advantage to
be derived is, the introduction of water up
hills that are out of reach of fumes or
bitches. The Mariposa Democrat contains
a very sensible article upon this subject,
declaring it perfectly possible to obtain wa
ter on the highest mountains, and urging
the formation of companies to sink wells
We suggest this subject to the miners of
Butte for their consideration.

PENErRALIa" has been read, and We have
concluded that its publication will not be a
means of doing any good. Society is never
benefited by controveriing the plain teachings
of the Bible, aud that scientific theory which
attempts TO set aside the revelations of Scrip
tsre is wrongly founded, or cannot be rightly
and fully developed. The writer has shown
considerable tact at reasoning, in his we'll
drawn details; but, whether the body is "to-
tally annihilated," or whether there be hea-
ven for all animated beings, is question inf
nitely small in comparison to individual respon-
sibility. If truth cannot be arrived at by
searching the Scriptures, there is no hope in
