RoBBERy-Mr. Russell, Mr.. j. Benjamin's (of
this place) teamstcr, whilst driving along the
road from this place towards Stockton, on
Thursday evening last, was violently assailed
between Grcasertown and Dutch Charley S
Ranch, and relieved of his purse containing
$40. The robbers made a thorough search,
pulling off Mr.. Rs boots, and even having the
curiosity to empty out sack of barley in
quest of more funds. Last week there was a
gentleman named Underdown accosted and
pursued in the vicinity of the "Calaveras
Lunch" eight miles lower down on the same
road by two highwaynen, about 10 o'clock
at night; but his team took fright and thus sa-
we'd him. From the description, they are the
same fellows who robbed Mr.. Russell. One
of them is said to be Mexican, who BRAN
dishes a huge knife, from one to two yards in
length, the sight of which makes the boys
pungle instanter.

Low WATER.-There is great dcarth
of water at the present time, in this coun-
ty. The bitches are mostly dry; the best
of them have barely enough to preserve
the fumes from destruction by the heat
of the sun. The proprictors of the Union
Ditch at Murphy's have surveyed and
located a number of reservoirs in the
mountains, with view to the collection
of water from the melting SHOWS early in
the spring and summer, when the rivers
are full. The want of this admirable
economy leaves their ditch nearly dry
this fall. Hereafter they will, through
the agency of these reservoirs, be able te
supply constant stream during the en-
tire season. The Mokelumne Hill Cana
is also nearly dry; and correspondent
informs us that the Mokelumne river now
contains but three sluice-hcads of water
Within the memory of the "oldcst in.
habitant" it has never been known SO low
before.

truly astonishing, and are public nui-

guilty of the disgraceful crime of aiding

pFOuuCitOuS vi COuutTlcS. III Is Also
conceded by the friends of temperance that
the substitution of harmless beverage for
the fiery, adultcratcd aud intoxicating LIQUORS
that are imported and sold under various
names. is calculated to repress the degrading
vice of intemperance. The success of Mr.
Longworth, in Ohio, in producing an article
that is constantly gaining favor, and COM
mands approval abroad, is evidence of our
ability to compete with European wine manu-
featuring. In our own State the Messrs. San
sevain have succeeded in producing cham
pagne that. by the best judges, is pronounced
equal to the French wines, only lacking age
to confer upon it the distinction of superiori-
ty. From the report We learn that their vim
tagc of 1858 will embrace two hundred thou
sand bottles of white wne This, it will be
rccollccted, is but the yield of one house, and
may be reasonably calculated as only one-fifth
to one-sixth of the quantity actually put up
for use. consideration of these facts will
naturally direct reflection to the probable
large expectations of the California produc-
ton in coming years, when the native grape
shall have been improved by the engrafting of
foreign varieties, and greater attention shall
have been given to its cultivation and the
manufacture of its Juice Skill. enterprise
and industry alone are wanting to give this
branch of trade, already opened with the East,
the prominence that it will ultimately attain
and we hazard nothing in asserting that our
own generation will witness large expectations
to countries from which onr supplies have
hitherto been obtained, and perchance fleet
of real California clippers engaged, not as
hitherto in flooding ns with importations that
drain our State of real wealth, but in carving
to distant lands the fruits of the industry oi
our husbandmen that will enrich our people
by returns that will add so largely to the re-
sources and riches of the State

THALBERG AND YIEUxrEMPs. free concerts
given by the great wizards of the piano and violin to
the Second and Third District Schools at the Yarie
ties theater yesterday afternoon was decidedly the
event of the day. The downtown boys and girls
came up, marshaled by their teachers, in companies
and in regiments and the theater was packed in a
manner which would have been terrific, but ior the
extraordinary beauty of the spectacle. The girls
filled all the lower part Of the house and all the second
tier besides the boxes and the stage whilst the bows
were fairly piled in heap in the gallery. The per.
formances Of Thalberg, vieuxtemps and Miss Kemp
were seyerally delightful to the youthful multitude
who were not chary Of either their applause or the
mowers with which they come laden. No one not in
teested or connected with the schools can form any
iuea Of the excitement and delight which the free
concerts OF Thal6erg and Vieuxtemps have created
among our juvenile population. They will be pleas
anuy ana thankfully remembered for many long day
to come.
The grand concert at Odd Fellows Hall last night
was attended by the usual multitude of our citys an
preciatiye lovers Of music, and passed Oft amidst the
usual nproar of enthusiastic delight.
To-day at O'Clock the second maine, comes off
The programme will consist Of four performances bv
Veuxtemps, three by Thalberg and duet by both.
The first matinee largely attended, and we doubt
not this one will also be largely attended. much
better opportunity of hearing and studying the great
artists is offered at the nafiaees than at the other con
certs, for they two alone perform, and necessarily
perform much more than when attended by their
singing companions. Mr. Grau, the agent, at No a.
Camp street, viii accommodate all who may wish 10
attend either todays matinee or tSe one to be given
