But we do not intend to describe the trees or
give an idea how they appear; that has been
attempted by abler pens, which failed to do
ustice to the subject. We returned to the
hotel, had all the attention shown us by the
gentlemanly host and sat down to sumptu-
GUS dinner-a better meal could not be pre-
pared in San Francisco. After dinner, partook
of cigars, billiards, &C., ad h5ifum, until time
to travel was announced when we departed
for Murphys highly delighted with the first
visit to the 'sBig Trees of California We
forgot to mention that the halfway spot. be-
tween Murphy's and the Big Trees, is marked
by monument of the wooly horse,n care
fully blanketed with gunny-bags. Each passer-
by bestows some mark of affection on the ami
NAL. While one hugs and kisses the '.critter,
another adorns the cue with wisp of green
grass and fiets of flowers. Taking drinks all
round, (horses included.) to the Big Tree road,
we struck into two-forty-trot for Murphys.-
We have no definite idea of the distance tra-
veled-t is said to be fifteen miles up and eleven
back-but know it was over an excellent road,
plenty of good timber and water, fragrant flow
ers and singing birds, and that it was three
hotties of cognac up and two down, and " nary
brick" in the hat when the party returned to
Sperry's HOTEL at Murphy's

Committee on Collections.

The following Committee on Collections,
to aid the Big Tree Road improvement,
has been appointed for Calavcras county !:
County CcMMirrEE.-D. Shepherd, of Mur-
phys; H. Emo, of Campo Seco L. G. Root of
Mokelumne Hill; Geo. E. Young, of Angels; and
N. T. Norcross, San Andreas.
The above Committee have appointed
the following persons as subj Committee,
to solicit subscriptions aud make collec-
tions, in their respective camps 1t will
be the duty of each solicitor to insist on
every citizen, resident, to subscribe some
thing for the road if it is but five dollars,
it will materially help to make up the ag-
gregate amountrequired While some are
expected to subscribe two hundred and
fifty dollars, and pay it in monthly INSTALL
ments, others can subscribe less and paw
the cash down. All good citizens, repre-
senting property interests over $4,000,
ought to willingly subscribe fifty dollars,
paying it as promptly as circumstances
will permit. One of the chief benefits to
accrue aoiU be gained By early action and
cash payments. The laborers, to build
the road, already ought to be at the work !;
they will feel 10th to proceed unless suf-
fcient fund is advanced to furnish "grub"
and warrant ultimate success. 1t there
fore behooves each solicitor to head the
list literally, collect the funds Immediately,
and forward the SAME promptly to their
destination. AS time is rolling on, it is
hoped they will go to work actively, as this
subscription business must be attended to
as soon as possible:

gates from Ell Dorado; twenty from Sacramen-
to and ten from Yolo county, whenever in their
Judgment the interests of said counties with
reference to said road may render it necessary.
Resolved, That this Convention, in behalf of
the people of the counties of Ell Dorado, Sacra-
mento and Yolo, desire to express their appro-
baton of the wise and timely action OF Con-
gress in appropriating 100000 for tue con-
struction of a wagon road by the central route,
from the Mississippi Valley to the Honey Lake
Valley, inasmuch as it is by said central route,
Familiarity known as the Great Immigrant Trail,
that fully nine tenths of all our overland inl-
migration reaches California, and hence it is
especially proper that the Government should
provide all possible facilities for the accommo-
dation of these immigrants.
Resotred, That Congress- in appropriating an
nually S5O0,000 TO establish n weekly post
coach route from the Mississippi Valley to Cal
iforna. has conferred benefit on our State
which is second only in Importance as a trans
continental communication, to that other and
greater national work, the Pacific Railroad
Resotced, That the benefit resulting to Cali
fornia from this liberal action of Congress in
regard to post coach route will be almost en-
tirely disspated by the selection of the route
from the town of Marshall, in Texas. through
New Mexico and into California by the juno
tiOH Ol Tue 0lld ana COiOfaQO rivers, as the
route over which the weekly mail coaches are
to run, for the reason that the route in question
commencing at one extreme corner, and that
the least populous of the Atlantic States, en-
ters the southernmost and least populous por-
ton of California and is thus calculated not
to meet the wants of fully eight-tcnths of the
people of this State who occupy its central and
northern portions; and is at the same time as
lily adapted to meet the wants of the more pop
ulous central, southern, eastern and western
States of the Union, who desire and expect
mail communication with California by the Gen.
trail and mainly travelled overland route to our
State.
Resolved, That in view of these facts, as
above stated this Convention expresses its re-
spectful but unqualified disapprobation of the
selection by the Post Office Department of the
Texas route for the weekly mail, and would
urge such action the Post Office Department
and upon our Senators and Representatives in
Congress, as shall result in the selection of the
most direct route over the Great Basin and into
California on which shall be permanently es-
tablished this weekly mail connection between
California and the Atlantic States.
ResolOed, That the officers of this Conven-
ton attest the proceedings thereof, and cause
the proceedings to be published in the news
papers of this State friendly to the object, and
that they forward to the Post Office Department
and to our Senators and Representatives in
Congress, certified copies thereof.

Report of the Proceedings of the Wagon
Road Convention at Sacramento.


Road Convention, at Sacramento.
The Wagon Road Convention, of Sac
ramento, has adjourned sine die. 1t will
be seen that the fourth resolution is impor-
tant to this section of the State, as accept
ing the proposition to assist the Big Tree
road in improving Hope Valley and Carson
Canon. There is but little difference of
opinion expressed by any of the numerous
Wagon Road Conventions held north, from
what was adopted at the NIokelumne Hill
Convention. The following report and
resolutions, presented before the Sacra-
mento Convention, by select committee,
was unanimously adopted:
From the Sacramento Union
REPORT
Mr.. PRESIDENT The committee to whom was
referred the selection Of the most suitable route
on which to construct wagon road across the
Sierra Neyadas to connect Sacramento with
Carson Valley, have had the same under con-
sideraton, and beg leave TO report in favor of
adopting that route selected by the Wagon Road
Commissioners in September, 1855, and sur
veyed by Sherman Day, under the orders of the
late Surveyor General Marlette
This route, commencing at point some four
teen miles above Placervlle, follows the South
Fork of the American river to Slippery Ford ;
crosses the summit at Johnson'S on Henderson's s
Pass, and follows by way ofLuther's Pass, Hope
Valley and Carson Canon to the head of Carson
Valley, near Cary's Mill.
Your committee unhestatingly recommend
the adoption of this route and not only for
those natural advantages it offers, which on
former occasion caused its adoption by the
Board of Wagon Road Commissioners for the
State Wagon road, but also because in addition
to its being the shortest and most direct, the
lowest and most feasible, the freest from snow,
and the only travelled route across the noun
tains during the winter months in the central
portion of California, it has one advantage in
addition to all these essentials: that of being
the surveyed road
This work has been already DONE carefully
laboriously, and faithfully have the grades been
laid out and the stakes driven and the work
ready to hand requires not a days delay or a
dollars expense, before proceeding To its con-
struction.
Your committee, therefore, most respectfully
ed by the Convention as shall lead to an early
completion of the road or such portion thereof
as the funds which may now be collected may
Justify undertaking; and that the remaining
portion shall be completed as soon as the coun-
ties of Sacramento and Ell Dorado have obtained
the authority of the people for the payment
thereof.
Your committee would also suggest, that as
Carson Canon is common to this and the Gala
veras route, the proposition made by the Gala
veras Convention to US, to join them in the ex-
pense of constructing this portion of the road
be accepted, on the understanding " that the
road down the Canon is to be on the line of the
graded survey"
