Overland Wagon Road

iii view oi PiOmotlng the interest
of the Southern Mines, Convention has
been called to meet at Mokelumne Hill.
on the SECOND day of May, at which time
and place delegates from the different
counties south of Amador, are requested
to be present.
1t is thought that the Overland 1mtni-
grafton will be much heavier this wear.
than that of any proceeding, since the
first settlement of the State; and if so. in
view OF the efforts now making in counties
further north, to secure the influx of pop-
ulation for that portion of the State; it
behooves the citizens of the Southern
mines, and the Southern agricultural dis
tricts, to make an energetic move, to Sc
cure at least a just and reasonable por-
tion ofthe immigration that will soon
come pouring into our country.
In order to att; in this object, it becomes
absolutely necessary that inducements
should be given to the weary adventur-
.ers, OF character to facilitate and make
more easy. their ingress into the settle
ments. The route by the Big Tree, al
ready is in possession of superior advan-
tages; among which are, its easy grade
from Carson Valley across the Sierra
Nevada mountains. With but very lit
tie additional expense, the heaviest load
ed wagons can pass the entire route as
easy or easier, than from this place to
Stockton; and if in addition to this, an
abundance of grass and water can be
found, which everybody knows is the
case, there will be but little left to do but
to establish Provision Stores, houses of
refreshment &C., to ensure us full share
Of the benefits of Immigration. The es-
tablishment Of the Mail Route, may also
be secured-but only by energetic ac-
tion-the benefits Of which must be ap-
parent to every sensible mind.
In connection with this subject the
Calaveras Chronicle, very sensibly re-
marks :-"That each of the many Routes
spoken Of as the best through the Sierra
Neyadas. has its active hackers, who.
from motives Of purely local or personal
interest, will not scruple to magnify its
advantages. Now. the Big Tree Route
is naturally so much the best, that it only
requires little energetic action in its
behalf, to make it the mail route. We
hope. on the occasion of this Convention,
there may not be any apathy exhibited
on the part of those who should act in
the matter"
1t is to be hoped that the citizens of
Tuolumne county will not lie dormant in
this matter, but that alive to their inter-
ests, willappoint an early day of meeting
for the purpose of electing delegates to
the Convention called at Mokelumne
Hill, on the I'd of May.

THEATRICAL.-Mr. j. E. McDonough,
together with theatrical company, con-
sisting of Mrs Woodward, Mr.. Phelps,
and Others, have played at the Broadway
Theater, for the past two evenings, to very
good houses. On Thursday evening, the
'Corsican Brothers were played and
we'll received, and on Friday evening
Damon and Pythias were presented,
MIR. McDonough taking, and ably sus-
tainlng the character of Damon. 1t is to
be regretted that Miss Estelle Potter has
been detained by sickness, from aiding in
the character of 'Calanthe' in this play.
Much Of the interest of good acting is de-
tracted by the ineficiency Of one or two
of the leading chalacte
To night, Mr.. McDonough will assume
his favorite character Of "Jack Cade,'
in the play of that name, the use of which
was rendered to him by Forrest.

and that fine hall they occupy in their
weekly meetings,-the recent organiza-
ton of an Odd Fellows Library Associa-
ton, and the laying out and enclosing of
beautiful spot of ground for Cemete-

enterprise and humanity that are alike
honorable to the fraternity and praise
worthy in its members"

The LegisIatWe.

In the Legislature, the Swamp and
Overlooked Land bill-the Revenue bill
the Stamp Tax bill and bill for dis
tricting the State, are exciting some lit
tie attention; otherwise, apart from the
impeachment case. and charges made
against Gov. johnson, by Senator Nor
man, the transactions of that body are of
little Importance. Nothing has yet been
elected, of character at all justifying the
impeachment of the Controller.
Mr.. Norman's charges against Gov.
johnson, says the Globe, were made by
way of a resolution, relating to the ap-
pointment of Guager. The Governor at
once, through two Senators, asked that
the resolution might pass. 1t was how
ever withdrawn and committee was ap-
pointed to send for 'spersons and papers. .

FIRE AT ORovILLE.---A telegraphic
dispatch to the Sacramento Union of
Tuesday, announces the destruction of
the Oroville Theatre, together with other
valuable property by fire, on the 9th of
April.
This should prove a warning to Co.
lumbia. We have often noticed the dan
gerous proximity of stove pipes to many
ofthe wooden buildings in which they
are located in this place; and a proof of
their danger was given in the fire which
broke out on last Monday morning near
the Colombo Saloon, but which was for
tunately discovered and extinguished by
persons in the Colombo Saloon at the
time.

of this excellent association on last Mon
day evening, for which we feel richly re-
warded for our walk.
The Society meets at the Presbyterian
Church on every Monday evening, and
we are pleased to know, are making rapid
progress in the Cultivation of scientific
music. The association is not only cred
liable to the place, but as good singing is
indispensable to churches, and the very
life Of the domestic circle, its cultivation
is an evidence of the refined progress of
our town The meetings, we are in
formed are limited to the membership Of
the association.

Common Schools

The Common Schools as located in
Columbia district, Notwithstanding the
TACT of having become the pride Of our
town, have also been the source of con-
tention. with neighboring schools, which
has finally resulted in secession and the
formation Of a new district composed of
Yankee Hill, Saw Mill Flat, and their
intermediate vicinities. They were actu-
ated to this step by the refusal of the
Trustees, to locate public school at
knickerbocker school house, situated be.
tween those two places. The arguments
which actuated the policy of the Trustees
was the fact that, there is not a sufficient
School Fund in the Treasury for this dis
trict to defray the expenses of one good
school, for more than half or two-thirds
OF the time. A division would render
this almost valueless, as it would reduce
the pro rata for each scholar to almost
nothing. They argued that one school
should receive the encouragement of the
public fund, with view of greater eff
cheney and higher improvement; and as
there was school in Columbia, at the
time of its location, numbering eighty
scholars in regular attendance, being more
than twice the number of any other school
in the district; and as this school required
two teachers, and was at the same time
accessible to all parts of the district-to
Yankee Hill and Saw Mill Flat, as well
as to other parts, it was thought advisable
to make this school, if possible, a.desirable
one for children from every part Of the
district.
The reasons set forth above, certainly
look favorable upon the part of the action
Of the Trustees, although we see by the
course taken by two of our neighboring
villages that they disagree with us upon
this point. We hope however that the
results may prove favorable and advanta-
geous to their interests.
The school In Columbia we are happy
to know is progressing favorably, altho'
parents must expect to pay the expenses
of tuition, at least for portion of the
time, as the Treasury is well nigh ex-
hausted.
