YOlO Correspondence.

The following communication from Judge
Hobart, long resident of Butte county,
will be read with interest by his numerous
friends. The Judge was one of the dawson
Horn" pioneers of Butte, but concluded re-
Gently to turn his attention to agriculture.
and located at Grafton, Yolo County. He
gives glowing description of the Valley in
which he has located.
GRAFTON, Feb &c, 1857.
DEAR CRossETE-I feel quite lost with
out the old Record. The fact is, have been
so long a resident of old Butte, and mixed
up so much with its affairs, that l feel as
though was away from home unless | can
have the Record to give me some idea of
what is going on up there.
am much pleased with this valley-it is
undoubtedly one of the largest valleys Of
uniform good land, in the State, and is fast
filling up with an intelligent and enterpris-
ing population.
1t is not so fast county as old Butte, we
have only weekly mail, and it seems like
travelling in a slow coach but there is q
permanent prosperity, and the social condi-
ton is vastly better than in the mining re-
gion. As evidence of this, We have within
five miles of each other, three pretty church
es finished, painted and seated, that would
not do discredit to much older communities.
Add to this, they are filled every Sabbath
with attentive congregations. Al each
point there is a fourishing Division of Sons ;
at one at least a lodge of Free and Accepted
Masons; and you will thus perceive that the
foundation is being laid for good society.
There is more grain being sown this year
than ever before--probably double-at least
of barley.
This is the region of wild oats-not the
kind the boys SOW so plentifully up there
with you-but the genuine fodder for hors-
es All the farmer has to do, is to fence his
lot, and then nc can cut ton and half to
the acre of the best hay. The cattle roam
over the plains BY thousands, and furnish
you hungry fellows with the best of beef
Surely, this is great country.
Yours, Sincerely,
RANDALL HOBART.

OrOviiic School.

We learn from the board of Trustees,
Messrs. Downer. Richie, and Morris, that
arrangements have been perfected for OPEN
ing School in 0roville, on the 3rd of March
next. A new school house has been erected
on High street, between Oak and Pine, of
proper dimensions to accommodate, as it is
believed, as many scholars as may desire to
attend. Heretofore the accommodations in
this respect have been too limited, AMI many
children have been deprived of the advant-
ages to be found only in regular AMI pune
tual attendance at the primary school.
The dimensions of the School House are
twenty BY sixty eet,divilel into two rooms,
and teachers have been engaged whose ex-
perience AMI qualifications, it is believed,
will render the institution second to none in
the State. Mr.. J. D. Chinn. the principal
teacher, has had several years experience in
teaching, both in the east and in California,
and has recommendations from Bethany
College, Virginia, of which institution he
was a student. His testimonials and expe-
rience amply vouch for his qualifications as
a teacher. The services of Miss Webb have
been secured as an assistant teacher, who
comes highly recommended from San Fran
cisco, where she has been engaged in teach
ing The terms are three dollars per
month for each scholar, payable semi
monthly.
We need not speak of the necessity and
utility of primary schools. or Of the propri
ETY. of parents or guardians requiring of
scholars under their care, regular attend
ance All understand and admit the neces-
sity of such a policy, and 1t is confidently
expected that all will cooperate with the
effort now being made. Let our citizens do
this and they will secure to the youth of
0rOville a rapid and thorough progress in
the primary branches of education

county Of Del Norte.' on account of hagrant
errors in its enrolment.
On the question, ''Shall the bill pass not
withstanding the objections of the Cover
nor?' the vote stood--ayes, l noes, Ga.

the matter. A bill was introduced by Nor
man, submitting to vote of the people the
question Of making an appropriation to LAY
the States Indebtedness, which was made
the special order for Friday next.

to obtain an impartial trial This will I'M
dCubtedly be granted him, it being evident
that trip to San Francisco would be but to
become another victim of g REFORM" the
Vigilance Committee having already fixed
his fate, if he comes within their grasp.
The Judge appears to be well, although
extremely thin, and in wonderfully good
spirits. Indeed, his indomitable will, and
never dying hope, are all that have kept
him alive and borne him through his terri
bic sufferings of mind and body. He is sur
rounded by many warm friends whose inAu-
ence in his behalf will doubtless effect his
object in relation to the changing of his
place of trial from San Francisco to some
other more fitting place.
Last night Sam Brannan and Mr.. Clayton
got into very exciting debate about Wig
lance matters, and as report says, both
somewhat under the influence of drinkables,
created such hullabaloo in front of the
Magnolia, as to attract large crowd Of au-
ditors, whom they edited for awhile with
choice selections from the vocabulary Of an
Gent Billingsgate, but to the great displea-
sure of the admiring throng, certain munich
pal officers dropped in upon the disputants,
and bore them off to the station house.
l yesterday visited the ruins of the mill
which was blown to pieces on Saturday by
the explosion OF its steam boiler. l never
saw so complete a wreck. Hardly two boards
or bricks that composed the mill are now
left standing together. Fragments of the
boiler, and pieces of the mill are lying
about in all directions, and in some instan-
ces, at great distance from the scene of
the disaster. l was sitting in the Orleans
when the explosion took place, and from the
rattling of the doors, supposed it to be an
earthquake, or some other tremendous con-
vulson of nature.
Of course you know as much as do about
the arrest of DR.. Bates, the arrival Of the
steamer, theatricals, Legislative doings, ETC.,
so l won't attempt to tell you anything
about them. The weather is delightful, and
I'll write you again tomorrow.

A PUBLIC Meeting.

Tt has been suggested that we should call
public meeting for the purpose of memo
rilaizing the Senate, in favor Of the passage
If the bill declaring Feather river navigable
TO Oroville The passage of this bin is Of
vital Importance not only to 0roville, but to
the entire county, as it also is to Plumas.
1t is necessary that the people should take
action in the matter, and adopt measures to
place the facts of the case properly before
the Senate, when it is believed that they will
not withhold their sanction of the act per-
mittinc steamers to run to 0roville. Judge
Wells is now in Sacramento and any express
sion or petition of the inhabitants of Oro-
vile upon this subject, could be forwarded
to him, and brought to the immediate at
tention of the Senate. The bill was passed
by bot h branches of the Legislature, and
only required the Signature of the Cover
nor to become a law; but the Senate have
re-considered the vote by which the bill
passed to its third reading, and referred it
to the Senators from Yuba and Plumas. and
making it the special order of the day for
the 10th instant. There are three Yuba
Senator'S and but one from Butte, and if the
bill is smothered in committee, it is quite
probable that majority report will be ad-
verse to its passage. Under these circum-
stances it is proper that we should forward
a petition to our Senator, and to the body Of
which he is member. to favor of the passage
Of the bill Whatever they do must be ac-
complished speedily.
We have seldom seen more excitement or
greater indignation manifested in the public
mind than has been occasioned in this Vi
cinity, by the efforts of Mr.. Burnett to de-
feat this bill.
We cannot believe that Messrs. Mesick
and Goodwin second the action of Mr.
Burnett upon this matter. 1t it repugnant to
cur feelings to believe that honorable Sena-
tors can be actuated by motives of such
gross, fragrant and outrageous injustice, as
contemplated by this reconsideration move
ment, anil we shall believe that the bill will
receive the sanction of the Senate, until we
see it otherwise recorded But it is never
theess, proper that we should take some
action in the matter, and would suggest that
n meeting be held this evening at the Court
House, or some other public place, to give
expression to the people, and adopt measures
to petition the Senate previous to its action
on the bill.

Sports of the Ring.

INT IoliohlHS Iep0It VI tue b5ul WHICH
occurred on Saturday, mile or two below
0roville, was furnished US by an eye-wit-
ness. The fight grew out of difficulty which
originated in Kelley's saloon, the nighs pre-
vious, and which the parties agreed to settle
by scientific set-to. As near as we can
learn, it was Cork VS.. Tipperary;
Time eleven o'clock.
Kelley and Holehan on the grounl-Jim
Trainor and Houlehan appointed Kelley S
seconds, Holehan's seconds Tom Welsh and
-, Mr.. Coffee time keeper
After the usual preliminaries the princi-
pies were brought to their ground, when
Kelly making few false passes took H. in
the mugtwith his right; clinched and Kelley
down.
Dad -ound-Kelley took Holehan with the
left on the face, clinched and got loose
Kelley put in a right handler, clnched, and
Holehan down.
3d-clinGL and Kelley down.
4th-after a smart tussle, Kelley put in a
left handler, and brought Holehan to his
knees.
5th-after good tussle, Kelley down by
clnch.
6th-Kelley down by clinch.
7th--Kelley down.
8th-Kelley down again. At this stage,
Holehan's face was very much swelled, and
eyes half closed-Kelley not yet marked,
but had received some hard clinchers in the
ribs.
9th-Kelley down by feint.
1Oth-Kelley down by clinch.
1lth-after smart tussle Kelley to his
knees by clinch.
12th--after several good ticks by both,
Kelley down.
13th--after Kelley received a hard one in
the ribs, down. very hard fall, and said
false, as Holehan choked him when down.
On time being called
18th round-Kelley received a stifener in
the ribs, and fell by clinch; Holehan showed
pluck by calling out time, and telling his
antagonist to walk up to his work
15th--after a few passes, Kelley down
without much injury.
16th-Kelley took his man with three
lifters in succession, and then cilnch, and
Kelley down.
17th--Kelley's hair lost him the best of
of the round down again.
16th--after few passes well put in by
both, Kelley down, when Holehan addressed
Trainor and told him 6 not to put devilment
in the childs head, meaning opponent.
19th--Kelley down.
2Oth-Holehan down. but turned on his
man, and taken off.
21st-left the ring. but fought on Kelley
down.
22nd- Kelley down, and Holehan jumped
all around the ring. refusing assistance.
23d-after three hard ones in Kelley's
ribs, Kelley down.
24th--Kelley's hair lost him the best Of
it, as it did in all cases after 9th round

down.
26th-smart ticks put in by both; Kelley
down hard.
9th and last-after good round, Kelley
down, and on time being called, Kelley's
sponge was seen in the distance over his
heal, which terminated the encounter.
1t is considered by the bloods, that Kelley
is the most scienced man, but was in bad
order On the other hand, Holehan's back

prominent, say that he can't be 1hiPped

SACRAMENTO. March 8.

These days are 'big with fate" and mo-
mentous events are quite the order of the
times. Questions of Unprecedented impor-
lance have occupied and still are engrossing
the minds of the members of both branches
of the Legislature, and a consequent excite
ment is everywhere perceptible among the
residents of, and visitors TO the Capital
Unfortunately for myself as a correspon-
dent, and unpleasantly for yourself as the
recipient of my scrbblings, the matters that
naturally compose my contributions are
more than likely to reach you through the
papers just in time to divest my epistles of
what little interest they might otherwise
contain, but the occurrences of the past
forty eight hours are too important for me to
pass by unnoticed, even at the risk of being
behind hand in the relation of them.
Early yesterday morning it was whisper
ed to me confdentially, that '' the veritable
Ned MeGowan" was in town. This was told
to me as somewhat doubtful rumor, but
with strict injunetions as TO secrecy, and
was breathed in whispers among few of
the faithful as something to be withheld
from the "chokers;' but the actual appear
once of the indubitable parsonage himself in
a barber shop at about eleven o'clock in the
forenoon, out of which quite number of
curious bystanders, myself among the num-
Der, beheld him emerge, in prOpria per-
soma, barring his former indications of cor
pulency, his severe hardships and constant
excitement of mind having changed him
from the Justice with fair round belly with
capon hned," to the 50 lean and slippered
pantaloon."
The fact being established that he was
here, and no mistake, l availed myself of an
invitation from General Kibbe, and visited
the Judge in his room at the Magnolia,
where he received us with great cordiality
and to US, and great many others who at
tended his ieree, he related in part his won
derful exploits and hair breadth escapes
since the "purest and best" took it into
/ their heads to hang him. He has been liv-
ing. Tor trying toy for the greater portion OF
the time, in Santa Barbara county, subsst-
ing on raw roots clans, fish and terrapins,
and sleeping where night did, and where he
thought the Vigilantes wouldn't, overtake
/ him.
He has come heIe, as he says, to deliver
himself up to the authorities, asking, how
