The State at Large.

The success of the Southern Overland Mail
was celebrated at San Francisco last Monday
night by mass meeting at Musical Hall,
speeches and resolutions, and the firing of a
national salute. W. L. Ormsby, the special
reporter of the n Y. Herald, and who was
the only passenger through from st. Louis,
was introduced to the meeting and enthusi-
astically welcomed, says the S. F. National.
The resolutions which were passed commen-
ded all the overland routes, and advised the
prompt extension of military protection
The paper from which the above is gathered
remarks, that the stock for telegraph be-
tween S. F. and Los Angeles is very nearly
all taken. Last Wednesday week fire
broke out in jamestown which destroyed q
buildings in the center of the town. Loss

is looking up according to the Contra Costa
Gazette. 1t contains 400 buildings and

Government steamship of $50 or 500 tons
burthen is about to be built. The assessed
value of property in Solano county is up

California is great sporting State. The
papers from every section record horse races,
foot races, and trotting matches, at which
considerable money changes hands. -. The
Sierra Citizen reports Downieville as in
Furnishing condition, consequent upon the
arrival of water in perpetual abundance,
through the great ditch Of the Sierra Nevada
Lake Water and Mining Co. Several claims
are mentioned as yielding in the vicinity of
$50 ounces at clean up, and many others
are making good wages. Rich quartz has
been discovered. While the Alleghanians
were singing at Yreka, lately, to large au-

The Library.

At recent meeting of the members Of this
excellent institution the monthly dues were de-
creased to fifty cents. A subscription of i've
dollars or a share of stock at ten dollars, will
give any one the use of several hundred volumes
of good books and access to regular files of sixty
different newspapers, besides all the best Ameri-
can and British magazines. The room is weN
lighted every evening, and is pleasant place of
resort. Every miner, especially, ought to be a
member, and<ake home some of the books to
beguile the long winter evenings of their weari-
ness. 1t would afford much satisfaction to Eas-
tern friends to learn that the intervals of labor
are so well employed, instead of being wasted on
cards or listless FIRE! side moping.

CHARIvARI.-An honest miner of this place,
formerly a sailor and known to his friends as
Harry Bluff, saw fit recently to take unto himself
: q young FRAU, just arrived from Germany. He
was married at San Francisco. and on returning
to San Juan was greeted at night by most hor-
rible callithumpian concert. Instead of OCCASION
ing anger on the part Of the bridegroom this de-
monstration resulted in a flow of good spirits
which was cHEERfully acknowledged. Good

to your diggings and make it pleasant, going and

Fire! Fret.

Fire! Fret.
Such was the terrific cry that startled many
of orr citizens from their quiet slumbers at about
o'clock last Wednesday morning. An ash bar
rel caught FIRE under the Union Hotel, and its
cracking awakened Mr. HATFIELD, who sleeps
in the rear of the cigar store next door, and who
succeeded in plunging the flaming object into
the reservoir before the fire could spread to the
surrounding buildings. People never will take
.warning. Some ash barrel, or stove-ppe, or bed
side candle, will yet the destruction of the

plication Of Judge Barbour " for want

Judge Barbour, through his counsel,
