SACRAMENTO. MAY 2lsr., 1858.
Sir: Early this morning,
while yet the stars were in the sky.
three drowsy passengers at Columbia.
took their places in that low, long, lank,
lousy lumber Wagon. which Fisher &
Co. run between that place and James
town. Crack, went the whip, and of
rolled "der old machine, !" rumbliug over
the road like forty empty hogsheads,
frightening the good people of Benson
vile and disturbing the morning dreams
ofthe Post-masters Of Springfield and
Shaw's Flat. On we went at the speed
of nearly three miles an hour, till in the
course of time we arrived at jamestown
and were transferred to one of the So
nora coaches. On we went, the Glow
back car" being left for the accommoda-
ton of good natured Columbians in the
evening" by A. NJ, we enjoyed
good breakfast at Mound Springs. We
would however suggest that the Mound
Springs Hosteller is rather the rather
est. Crowded in and mixed with wo-
men, babies, band boxes and parrots, we
nudged along to Knights Ferry in very
good condition, where the smiling land
lord Of the Gardner House insisted upon
an experimental introduction to his old
Sazarac. There too was rosy faced
Dick, Of Columbia Stage memory, as
smiling as rose by the way side From
Knights Ferry to Stockton the rolling
hills present a singularly sterile appear
ance. The season in that section is al
ready dry; the wild oats have fully ma
tured; the grass has fallen before the
scythe and the brown barley fields are
reckoning for the reaper.
Stockton seems full of people not
busy folks, but gentlemen of leisure the
windmills being the only workers. The
country between Stockton and Saera-
mento far exceeds in fertility and beau
ty, that between Columbia and Stock
ton. Within few miles of the wind
mill city, the change is SO great, that
one feels like having slept from barren

held in this town, on Monday next, the Sd OF

sured should also bear in mind that the interest
on the Deposit Notes is due on Saturday, the

in jeopardy every moment after that hour if the
interest has not been paid. Policy holders
would do we'll TO make q note Of this. We
would also state that the company expects to be
able at the next annual meeting, to declare a
dividend Of ten per cent. if the insurances are
promptly paid in; and as this is a Mutual Insu.

CASUALTIES.
On Christmas Eve, a youth named Henry
Richu rdson, whilst sporting with pistol, and
having his hand over the muzzIe, adjusting it
for shooting, the hammer slipped from under his
finger, dschargng the load [shoO through the
PALM of his hand, badly decorating it. The
wound was dressed by DR.. Moore.
On the same evening, in Appoquinimnk
Hundred, near Dexter's corner, a German
named Godfrey Karch, was burnt up in his
house. He had been living there fifteen or
twenty years, was a rough carpenter and an
industrious man. 1t is supposed the roof took
lire from the stove pipe, and Karch. probably
with drink or two of whskey in him and
sound asleep, was suffncated with the smoke,
aud by the falling in of the roof and floor above,
If he awoke, could not extricate himself
A black man, we learn, on the same evening,
got into a drunken fight near Blackbrd, was
badly beaten, took refuge in fance.corner,
where he was found dead the next morning.

The meeting of the legislature is beginning

subject matter of Legislation is beginning to be

The first great subject and the grand object

that OF electing Senator to represent Della

come the Lottery Grant, Divorce cases, Inter.

the Railroad, and many other subjects of minor
Importance. On the subject of Z" Internal Im-

Now that Our people have got a taste of the
