STRING RAcEs.-The opening of the Spring
Races, on the San Andreas track, took place
on Saturday last, by an exciting contest be-
tween two noted Mustangs-Blue Ridge Boz
owned by NJ c. Fuller, and Hhite Cloud,
owned by R. H. Fish Stakes-Sl0o Dis
tance-30O yards The weather being fine,
some three or four hundred spectators were on
the ground. The hackers of White Cloud
challenged bets upon most liberal odds but
the friends of Ridge Boy were indsposed.-
At the word, they sprang away, the mare
having six feet start, which she lost in the first
so yards In the next leo yards the horse
made a gallant brush, and passed his antago-
mist 80 feet, when unfortunately, he struck a
foul spot in the track, and sunk in stiff, hard
muck of clay, fet-lock deep every jump, for a
distance of three or four rods, which threw
him again behind. Just then, bis fiery metal

threw the noble beast into a desperate spas
modic game of G buck" to floor the jockey
so that by the time he had made up his mind
to run ''on the square, his lee-way amounted
to fifty feet His pluck and superiority of
heels were manifest, however, for he closed
the gap down to l6 feet at the score, leaving
the mare winner of the race and stake By 10

that good wagon-road by way of the Big
Tree, is a matter of vital interest to Stockton
and the Southern portion of California. 4
little less than year ago, the preiimInaries 10
this end were inaugurated by Mass Conven-
ton. assembled in Mokelumne Hill, at which
it was resolved ION paper) to go to work at
once, and with earnestness, to make TINS road
the best wagon transit to Carson Valley
Calayeras, San Joaquin, Tuolumne, and all the
dependencies of Stockton trade, were repre-
sented either by delegates or proxies. The
noise of this assemblage was heard all over
the State and in Mokelumne Hill, Generals,
Colonels Majors, and Honorables, were sprink-
led about, as thick as "leaves in Vallambrosa"
reporters came from distant places to herald
the glad tidings "to all the land and the in
habitants thereof'-the excitement was in
tense-''bit" whisky was worth two bits until
midnight had folded down the heavy eyelids
Of each bold bacchaual'-it was. in truth, a
perfect carnival while it lasted. But, as
"Th, King of Frsnce, with full five thousand men,
Marched up the Lill and then marcied down again"
so the noisy elements of the Convention dis
solved and Il great cloud of smoke was Wis
IDLE for the "space of half an hour In the
sarcastic language of Kossuth to his Cincin-
natl sympathisers, there was 'too much Com
niftee."
Since that time the quiet, unostentatious
energy of Placerville has thrown our efforts
and our road completely into the shade. They
have secured most efficient ally-the wealth
and influence of Sacramento. A special tax
has been authorized in those two counties to
raise funds, and no cost is to be spared in the
execution Of their favorite project. After
having already expended a great many thou
sand dollars, nothing dannted, they are lay
ing out work which will eat up twice as much
more and they are beginning to reap the
profits of their investment. Placerville is be-
coming thriving city. As to ourselves
Stockton Co.,-aside from the vain demon
stration above mentioned, the following sched-
ule of figures, furnished us by our friend, Mr.,
V. Shearer, Superintendent of the Big Tree

The WEATHER-Who would not wish to
sport his April hours beneath the glorious sun
shine of a California sky? We are living in
an earthly Paradise, could we but battle our
memories in the soothing waters of Lethe, and
forget the throngng recollectiops of child
hoods homes. Every indentation in the hills
seems arbor fit for the Muses. to inhabit.
and poetry is the only language that harmon
ICES with the divine aspect which nature now
wears. 1t is ayerred that many of the Cees-
tal scenes which Dante describes in his " Par
adise," were bnt the images which his memory
held, of favorie spots around his beautiful
Florence; yet, if many of the accounts we
read of Italian climate, be true, it is certain
that the imagination of the illustrious lover
might have conjured up more perfect Elysi-
um for his Beatrice, had his life and imagery
been cast among the glorious scenes Of
California climate. The coast of the Medi-
terranean has been the prolific theme of pas
toral song, from the Mantuan bard to Byron /;
but surely it cannot be the perfection of eli
mate, for, the author of 4" Chalde Harold" who
had studied it profoundly from the Pillars of
Hercules to the Ionian Sea, declares that
in no part oft, (savc the immediate surround
ings of Athens,) is there any shelter from un-
comfortable and chilling winds. The pcrfec-
tion of climate belongs to the Pacific coast
where the air IS always bland, and where, ow-
i5< to the prevailing winds that visit our shores
from the waters of the Southern Ocean, the
equality of temperature is preserved. The
brightest skies, the softest winds. and land
scapes Of the most exquisite and varied love-
illness, are ours. We have hundred hills as
beautiful rs ParnasSus innumerable foun-
tains, as sparkling as Egeria, Wales charming
as Tempe, and mountains that would put to
shame the historic sublimity of Delphi If
we have no Muses. no temples, TO sacred
shrines, no Olympus, no Marathon, no Lucadia,
d no gods and godlike men to mourn still,
who shall say that California has no history
in our mountains and along our streams are
hidden richer treasures than gold-tho bones of
the American Pioncer-of those men of daring
deed and stern purpose, who ten years ago
with their labors and their lives gave birth to
= mighty State Let US live and hopc-the
city, the fame, the consecrated marble and the

A Rich CLAIM AND BIG NUGGET.-Mcssrs
McFall & Aivord, who are mining on Dog
Point within quarter of mile Of San An
dreas, on Friday, Of last week, struck into
patch of unusually rich paydirt, from which,
at two pans they extracted nine and haLf
ounces Amongst the precious parcel OBJ
tanned was one aspiring lump, which weighed
six ounces and nine dollars. This claim is
located on the old subtcrranean river channel
Mr. Marlett's Shaft being on the East, and that
known as the Duuning claim on the West
of it both Of these latter are known to be
quite rich, and from the present prospects, as
well as the results Of several days washing
last year, the claim of Messrs. McFall &c AL
vord, is not behind them in value. On the
same river channel, about half mile to the
west of these, we were informed few days
since, that Mr.. Smith had struck excellent pay
dirt in a shaft, at the depth of some sixty feet.
Should these, and similar explorations on the
lode fill the general expectation, during the
coming summer and autumn, the vicinity of
San Andreas will present most excellent field
for those who possess small capital for this
kind of investment, with the physical stamina
to "root and dig" under ground. So far, the
lode has been traced about one mile on each
side of town.

THE ArHEN .RUM-We have received the sec
ond number of this Weekly, published at
San Francisco, and edited By Mrs. Cora Anna
Weekes. 1t is printed in sixteen page form,
embracing fair proportion Of original mat
ter upon variety of interesting subjects, in
prose and verse and true to the hopes which
its name inspires, is, in point of mechanical
art and tasteful appearance, the perfection of
Typography. We congratulate the spirited
cditress upon her success, and welcome her
beautiful sheet as happy acquisition to the
literature of our State. She has chosen new,
but magnificent field for the exercise of &C.
nius--a field, whose transparent skies, incom-
parable valleys, ajestic mountains and Won
derful history, are full of the primal subjects
for legend and song but the literature OF
which, it must be confessed, has hitherto been
more pervaded by Betian dulness, than by
the fire and mercury of Athenian models
To the clamorous-tongued contemporaries of
San Francisco, who have been so caustic in
their structures upon alleged plagiarism,
we would suggest the advice of one greater
than mortal: Let him who hath never sinned
throw the first stone" and we very sure
that the reverse of this would cause terri
BILE rattling among glass houses.

THE ATLANTIC MoNTHLY.-The April num-
Der of this excellent magazine has been laid
upon our table. The leader is devoted to a
sketch of the memorable Hundred Days !"
reign of Napoleon, dating from the abdicaton
of Lonis XVIII, to the battle of Montmarte
and the capitulation of Paris. 1t is concise
and thrilling narration of the events as they
transpired, written by an eyewitness. The
humiliation of Paris and the deep sorrow of
the young officers who had been raised by the
Emperor from the ranks, at beholding the
uncouth Cossacks throng the Tuilleries, and
Prussian cannon pointing down the streets of
the capital, is touchingly written. On page
IA is poetic legend, entitled Sandalphon,' >
worthy the genius of Poe or of Bryant.

two Mexicans were arrested at or near West

with the debasement of sundry parcels of gold
dust which they had sold to him, at the usual

refining at the Mint, did not realize to the pur-
chaser as much as Sl2 per ounce. Suspicion
settled upon the party above named ana on

that they had been in the practice Oft this cheat
for some time We do not know the extent
of their field of operations, but presume that
it affected gold dust purchasers more or less
