Theatrical.

For every evening, commencing with
Tuesday, our theater going citizens have
been entertained by the superior talent
and charms of Miss Mary Provost, well
aud favorably known on the California
stage. Her first appearance was tri-
umph which her versatility of genius has
enabled her to maintain without diminiu-
ton up to her latest appearance. Not
having witnessed Miss Provosts pei SON.
atoms iii the higher characters Of the
Drama, we are only prepared to judge
of her merits in those little pleasantries
and destinations of lille, which after all,
are better appreciated by the mass
es. With the characteristics of every
day life, she seems perfectly familiar
and were we to Judge from the effects
OF her destinations upon an audience, we
would say that she is not novice in the
exercise of those refined qualities which
entwine themselves around the affections
of the heart. An evidence of her supe-
rior ability is TO be found in the fact that
one would not see fault in her actions
if they could-there is a pleasure expe-
rienced in the privilege of her presence !;
there is life in her presentations, and soul
in her sparkling eyes. In word, Miss
Provost has made decided ''hit" in Co.
/ lumbia, and we know that it is the wish
Of hundreds that she shall remain with us
for days to come.
Weseldom have the privilege of chron-
icling the attendance of large houses in
Columbia-but they have merer failed
when the proper attraction was offered
Those attending Miss Provost's appear.
ance, have rot even descended to a me-
diocracy.
On Monday evening benefit will be
given to Mr.. VIM. Barry, better com
median than whom, has never visited the
Pacific coast. On Tuesday evening
1 Miss Provost will assume the character
OF Camille" in that celebrated drama.
We hope large audience may be pres
ent on this occasion.

Temperance Festival.

Mr.. EDITOR " our columns being
open, as | believe for the admission of
everything calculated for the general
good, and you yourself having manifes-
ted favorable disposition toward re-
form, and that of temperance among the
rest, have taken advantage of the H.
cense th1s given, to pen a few words in
regard to the Temperance Picnic to
take place on the 16Sh of May, at MIR.
Dicks ranch, near Shaw's Flat.
You are aware that the different Tenn
pelance Orders-not excepting the So
ctol temple, Of fColumbia-will turn out
on that day in regalia, under the direc-
ton of the Marshal of the day, and pro-
ceed to the ground at the ranch, where
the exercises will be gone through with
as per programmes These will consist
of Anthems, Glees, &c: by the choir,
who are preparing for the occasion, per-
formarce by the favorite Brass Band, of
Springfield, which has been engaged, and
an address by the noted champion of
Temperance, Jacob Carter. so widely
known and Justly celebrated as a lectur-
er in the Atlantic States, and whose, and
fame Is scarcely second to that of the
celebrated John B. Cough, and of such
| other exercises as can be found by
rowing over the hills and among the de-
hghtful scenery around the ranch, and
near the neighboring falls, which pour
their waters at the base of Table Noun
tain, by delving in MIR. Dicks strawberry
basket, or joining in whirling eddies of
beauty and fashion that the cot:llion band
will set in motion at the room prepared
for such purposes, or i'll the enjoyment of
the " feast of reason and the flow of soul"
always to be found in such an assembly
OF the fair ones as will be there gathered.
Those wishing to enjoy part of the
affair, but who are too much pressed to
spare the fore part of the day, will have
an opportunity to take an afternoon
drive and be present at the O'Clock
exercises, at which time Mr. Carter will
have something to say of special interest
to the ladies, participate in all the amuse-
ments, take stroll over the hills, visit
Table Mountain and the Falls, and re-
turn without losing any time.
Everybody will of course come pre-
pared to throw off all restraint, and enjoy
regular free and easy country picnic,
bringing with them such viands as their
several tastes may suggest. You Mr..
Editor, noted as you are for your gal
lantry and popularity among the ladies,
will of course be there to contribute to
tire general pleasure which we all hope
to enjoy; and that too, independently of
any of the stimulating aids SO generally
resorted to- when pleasure is the deside-
ratum, by the devotees of Bachus.

New QUARTZ LoDE-A new and ap-
parrently extensive quartz lode was dis
covered last week near jamestown, by
Messrs. Kennedy 4 Co. In every part
OF the vein prospected, the quartz has
been found rich with gold. Two speci-

which though small lump contained
three or four ounces of gold. We con
graduate Messrs. Kennedy & Co., on

COLUMBIA, CALIFORNIA:
SATURDAY MORNING, MAY end, 1857.

In accordance with previous provis-
ions, we now resign the charge of the
Columbian, which we have retained for
nearly year past.
We commenced our editorial control
Of the Columbian, not so much with
view to make of it general newspaper,
OF 6 law-giyer, as to secure for it a well
come to the homes of our subscribers and
patrons. We have not filled our col
umns with rehashes from the numerous
" dailies" that flood our town upon the
arrival of every city stage, nor INDUCED
IN lengthy and prosy dissertations upon
subjects that were already worn out by
the sophistry and dullness of other Jour-
mails; but to the contrary have generally
published our own stories-written our
own refiections-and have endeavored
TO make them applicable as well as bene-
fetal and agreeable to the locality in
which we have lived.
In taking our leave of the Columbian
and its readers, which we do in this arti-
Gle, we retire with the gratifying knowl-
edge that our subscription list has gradu-
ally swollen to that of the largest of any
newspaper in the Southern mines.
To be brief: if we have wronged any
one, it was unintentionaly; if unfortu-
nately we have any unreasonable and in
veterate enemies, for them we have no
compromises that will conflict with honor.
For our friends we shall cherish a kind
recollection that will live in the sacred
treasury OF our memory long after our
present position shall have been forgot
ten.

Columbia.

Gradually Is our beautiful and enter
prising town recovering from the embar-
assments of the long, dry season which
has passed We have had our rains
neither "early nor latter rains," but we
have nevertheless had rain and in abun-
dance too
In Columbia we have two advantages
to congratulate ourselves upon; the ex-
tent of our mines and, now that our
ditch improvements are nearly compile
ted, the unfailing supply of water
While surrounding mountain villages are
suffering in consequence of scarcity of
water, and while the cry of water! wa
ter is echoing over the parched hills of
other less favored towns and cities, Co
lumbia can content herself with the as
surance that her supply will be unfailing
and that from this time forth her DAYS
will be days of prosperity One of the
most pleasing features in the growth and
prosperity of Columbia, is readily recog-
nized in the beautifully cultivated gar
denS which adorn the residences of citi-
zens in almost every portion of its incor-
porated limits Indeed her improve
ments in this respect, are SO great, that
we can already boast of our early fruits,
of our growing vineyards, of orchards,
and in the vicinity, of fields ripening for
the harvest. Flowers bloom on every
side, and in several gardens and enclo-
sures, beautiful fountains are almost con-
stantly playing their crystal waters, giving
Fl leshness and animation to everything
surrounding them.
We care not how much vulgar and
uncivillzed correspondents may viIify US,
Columbia can speak for herself; live
within her own resources and rejoice in
the refinement and prosperity of her own
citizenship. Our mines are lasting-wa-
ter will be ever abundant; our agricul-
ture is equal to our support, or nearly
SO; our merchants are able to meet their
liabilities, while mechanism of almost
every kind is furnishing with a liberal
support.
To those who are not pleased with US !;
who because they sleep in the cutters,
imagine that our ''streets are muddy or
because they are too lazy to work, i'm
agine that there is "no gold" we have a
word OF advice, if in Columbia, to leave it.:
or If not here, never to pollute our fair
city with their vile and uncongenial
breath. We are content with our citi-
zens, with our town, and with its pros
poets, and only extend word of encour-
agement to the Just and industrious citi-
zen. To such we will say, !" come with
us and we will do thee good, for the
Lord hath spoken good concerning" Co
lumba.
Notwithstanding the large number of
miners in our vicinity, there is at the pres
ent time a pressing demand for more
laborers-daily calls are made for more
help, and frequently without success
At the present time, eighteen and twenty
dollars per week is readily paid for good
and able laborers, and in consequence
of lack of hands, strikes for higher wa
ges have been made in several instances
which we could name.
We make the prediction that in two
years Columbia will be the largest min
ing town in the State.

we learned that they have the fairest

sequence Of Improvements made in the

Gently renewed their mining operations !:
last week, however, from the labor of
three hands, they washed out over ST.

have commenced paying well. The
"Side Wiper" has struck it rich.
La the placer diggings we also hear of
favorable reports. A rich strike has re-
Gently been made in a claim adjoining
the old Caldwell claim, near Shaw's Flat.
Mr. N. Mills informed US that while there
few days ago, he saw over $50 worth
OF specimens that were picked up out of
the loose dirt in the course of a few
hours.
At Methodist Reserve, three men real
lied for last weeks labor, the snug sum
of24 ounces of gold dust, with fair pros
poets ahead. i.
A claim on Santiago Hill has averaged
over 80 or of oro, per week, for three

Messrs. Tobey, Coons & Co., near

matter. II coins have been put in crcula-
ton for more than they are really worth. n
great wrong has been done community. We
trust that some reason can be given for the
