Dogs, which will be quite an acquisition to
the sheep growers of California. They are
medium sized, shaggy looking animals, and
if thorough bred will bring high prices.
The political news indicates considerable
feeling in favor of liberalizing their govern
ment, by making suffrage universal, and pay
ing their members so as to allow any one to
become member, instead of their being
confined, as they are now, to men Of wealth.
There is also movement in favor of Public
Schools. This is nothing new-every arrival
for the past two or three years confirms the
opinion that not many years will elapse be-
fore they will conclude to govern themselves;
and England, grown wiser, will probably
yield to their request for freedom upon the
first demand 1t seems that Republicanism
fourishes best in new countries where the
minds of the people unfettered by the tyran-
ny of custom, can expand and follow the
dictates Of nature. The Gougenheims are
to sail on the next vessel for this port. The
country had been ravaged by fires similar to
those common in California, but much more
extensive. OMIKRON.

Mrs. Ann Cora Weeks, and her loving
ing husband, G. W. (Grand Worthy Weeks,
a short time since started paper at San
Francisco called the 1Menau,n. The paper
received the smiles and encouragement of
the COOL people down there and as Mrs
Weeks was quite pretty and persistent, she
succeeded admirably in canvassing for subscr
bers amo G the gallant men of the Bay city.
She subsequently visited Sacramento and it
is said (although they wont acknowledge the
soft lmpeachmenD that majority of our
good looking legislators subscribed for five
dollars worth of -1theneum, and paid the
cash in advance. Stockton was next called
upon, and came down handsomely to the
fair edltress. In the meanwhile. those ouer-
elous fellows, the San Francisco editors, dis.
covered that Mrs. Weeks was literary pirate
was passing off the coinage of the brains
of others, for the scintiIIations of her own
genius. This was too much-,they "peached"
and in return the indignant female came
back at them with round shot and shell, in the
shape of "liars" 'scoundrels," ''blackguards"
and "sich like" The editors did not treat her
as Gov Marcy did Gen. Scott, when the old
hero was in Mexico, but threw bomb-shells of
such force into the Athen9um camp that the
female warrior suddenly left the field, and with
her worthy Weeks has taken Glimpse for
Australia, leaving sundry creditors and nu-
merous prepaid subscribers in the state vo-
ciferous. Since their departure, it has been
discovered that Mr.. G.. w. Weeks, is an
arrant. knave who has followed the business
for some years of establishing newspapers
having female editors, in the large cities of
the Union, and after collecting the subscrip-
tions in advance to leave for other fields of
operation. In the course of his dashing ca
reer, he has had about one fourth of a hun
dred of wives. the present charming Mrs.
Ann Cora being the twenty-fifth or sixth.
1t is supposed this honest pair will shortly
give the Australians benefit similar to the
San Francisco performance, and advices
from that quarter will be looked for with
humorous interest.
Whatever may be thought of the short
comings Of this couple of Weeks, it cannot
be said they are wanting in cheek.

One Leak Prevented.

The counties of Sacramento and FL Dora
do are interested in having good emigrant
road made to Carson Valley, and the people
of those counties have voted appropriations
of $4,000 each for that purpose; but this
not seeming to be sufficient to construct such
road as desired, they caused bill to be in
troduced in the Senate providing for an ap
preparation by the State of $4,000 to aid in
carrying out their project. The Senate very
properly refused to order the bill to be en-
CROSSED, which amounts to defeat of the
measure. The Sacramento papers do not rel
sh this action, and affect to believe that the in
terests of the State are really jeopardized by
the vote. They seem to forget that there are
other emigrant roads entering California of
equal importance, equally as deserving Of i'm
provement as the one to Carson Valley, for
which no appropriations have been asked.
If the State is to embark in the enterprise of
improving the travelled routes into the coun-
try why make distinction in favor of the
central to the exclusion of the northern and
southern routes? 1fthey are roads that the
State is under obligations to improve, all
should be treated aIike-if for local benefit
it is the business of the counties interested
to make their own roads without drawing
money from the State Treasury, much
of which comes from counties that are in no
wise benefited by the Carson trail.
In declining to appropriate for the benefit
of a road in one portion of the State to the
exclusion of Others, the Senate, in our judg-
ment did right.

otrattOh resolutions nave passed tne
Senate by vote of 20 to Is, Coulter voting
for them and Hart against We see no
harm that will result from this step. Sena-
tors Gwin and Broderick will pay no atten-
ton to them. The good that may be ex-
pected from them is, that the discussion
thereon has given such men as Merritt,
Burch and Anderson, an opportunity of
showing how untenable and ridiculous po-
sition they occupy before the country. We
know the name of at least three sucking
Congressman, whose promising day of useful
ness has been brought to a close.
ut appears that all of our delegation have
preserved their consistency and represented
the wishes of their constituency, except Mr..
Coulter. Our confidence in the honesty of
Mr.. Coulter, will prevent us from censuring
him in severe terms. All we have to say is
that his views and course on that question
are not endorsed by the people of Plumas
and Butte counties. We care nothing about
the resolutions, but we did hope that the
Leg stature of 1858, would perform one act
to shield it from the disgrace it has brought
upon itself, as being the most imbecile, stupid
body of beggarly flunkys that ever met in
CllIlSleUuOll. OSDtIcnen VIII KNOW WHO 10
except from this remark"
Plumos Argus, March 25M.
Here's a 60. Charles Westmoreland, we
understand, is the editor and probably the
author of the above. The people of Placer
remember this gentleman, as a man who
apostatized from the little democracy he had
picked up on the plains Of Texas, and in the
year 1855. carried the American flag through
the county of Placer, whereby he secured
seat in the Senate of the State.
He found the climate of the Capital so
salubrious that he never returned, except on
occasional flying visits, to the bosom of his
fond constituency.
Mr.. Westmareland voted knowingly
against the sentiments of those he pretended
to represent on the election of a United
States Senator, and probably on divers
other questions not row in our mind We
are not aware of lis performing any re-
markable feat whilst he remained at Sacra-
mento, except falling from the upper story
window of a hotel-an accident that would
have proven certain death to sober man.
During the canvass of 1856, he found oc-
cason to return to the Democracy, and fell
violently in love with Mr. Buchanan. Fail
ing, however, to obtain consulship in Aus
tralia, all his love was turned to hate, and
we now find him blatant advocate of ropu-
lar sovereignty, Douglas, Broderck e. Co.
This is our critic, who so boldly censurcs
the action cf such substantial democrats as
Merritt, Burch, Anderson and Coulter. Men
who have lever wavered from their faith,
whether occupying high or low positions-in
the ranks or in Office and station.
Poor Coulter we feel for him. lie lives
within striking distance of this mighty lever
of public opinon-the .A,yus. Have mercy
West-call off the dogs, you've worried tie
animals euough.

"ARcHy."-From our San Francisco cor
respondence it will be seen that this "colored
individual" who figured so conspicuously in
the Stovall case, has gone, with some two
hundred other darkies, to the Frazer river
mines, in the British Possessions.

Esr San Francisco is all agog on the sub
ject of the new mining region of Frazer
river, in the British Possessions; and no less
than from 500 to 1000 persons left on steam
ers this week for that locality. 1: is surmised
that this may prove another Gold Lake, or
Kern River swindle, which may be probable.
The anxious gold-seekers will soon test that.
