ADVERTISING MAP AND BUSINESS CHART-Mr
E. a. Taylor, of Murphy'S, is now preparing q
Business Chart, Of large size and elegant ap-
pcarance, for this county. Tho plan is, proba
bly, the most acceptable way of advertising
permanent business arrangements. The chart
besides the cards." contains table of distan-
ces, of actual travel, from each camp on the
different routes noting the names and location
of every prominent point in the county. Mr..
Taylor has already compiled the distances from
Stockton to Genoa, Carson Valley, ria Murphy's
and the Big Tree route, and from Sacramento to
Sonora, uia San Andreas and Angels The
enterprise is worthy of patronage, and will
meet with ultimate success, as the experience
which Mr. T. has had in compiling similar
charts in the northern mines, (having just
finished one for Ell Dorado county,) gives him
the advantage of mature experience, combined
with good judgment in such matters. Messrs
. Meara Painter, of San Francisco, are the
printers. The chart will be issued about the
middle OF October and posted in every promi-
nent public house in the county, and Oh the
different routes described.

Fears are entertained by the friends of Frank
Gilbert, of the firm of Gilbert & Garrish, who
have large herd of cattle and train in Lake

Placeryille to the train on the 5th and had not
been heard of as the stage passed on the 9Th.
Within the last week or ten day there has
been great stir among the Mormons in this
place and vicinity. Rumor has it that orders
from Salt Lake, at the instance of Brigham
Young, have been received for aid in the ap-
preaching troubles at Salt Lake True it is
that the Latter Day Saints are almost unani-
mously disposing of their property at sacri-
flce, and will be ready to move in two weeks
1t is supposed that about four hundred men,
with their families, will answer the call. Guns,
pistols and ammunition are selling at premi-
um.
1t is also reported here that Gen. Harney,
with $500 troops, was met and driven back by
the Mormons, with loss of coo men. The
news is said to have reached here by special
express direct from Salt Lake within day or
two past.
Emigration is coming thicker and faster;
trains are IN sight from morning till night
Mormon ranches are readily disposed of to en-
igrants, and it is to be hoped that we will rap

LITERAHY-An effort is being made by some
of citizens 10 form Debating Society;
and for this object have called meeting to be
held at the school house, next Wednesday
evening This is as it should be. Societies
of this kind always exert an influence for good
upon men, and may eventuate in much good to
community. 1t has often been remarked that
an association of this kind, small in numbers,
was the first to take any very active steps in
commencing the Big Tree Wagon Road project
II was under its auspices that "a convention was
held in San Andreaa, committees appointed to
examine into its feasibility; and finally, after a
convention held at Murphys, and another at
Mokelumnc Hill, more active steps were taken
to complete the work, and the road is now a
monument Of the enterprise of the people of the
county, and the members Of the Association.

HONEY BEEs.-A few days ago a gentleman
from Santa Clara county passed through this
place with a number of hives of honey-becs,
which he was peddling out to those wishing to
invest in those "patrons Of industry and
" embleus of civilization" The bee has been
cultivated from the earliest ages, for its wax and
honey, and in all temperate climates has been
found useful and profitable. Every person who
is permanently located should endeavor to sup
ply himself with this industrious little insect
as there is no doubt but it will flourish and do
well in the mountains, as the hills and vallies
are covered with floral carpeting in the early
portion Of the season, ana during the summer
aud autumn the honey-dew is known to f,ll in
large quantities. The price asked-SIl0 per
hiye-appears, at st thought rather exorbi-
tant; but, when the astonishing rapidty with
which they multiply aud increase in this country.
is taken into consideration, it cannot be looked
upon as so unreasonable. We have been cred
