\ TURNPIKE RoAD.-As will be seen per ad-
vertisement in another place, a number of gen.
tlemen have given notice of their intention to
meet at the " Robinson Ranch in Trinity
County, on the 4th of February next for the
purpose organizing joint stock company, to
construct a turnpike road over the trail leading
fr m the Tower House, in this county, to Yreka
by the way Of Trinity Centre, Trinity Valley
Scott Mountain and Callahans Ranch. 1t is
thought that good wagon road over this route
may be constructed without much difficulty
From the names attached to the advertisement
we are very sanguine that the contemplated road
will be constructed during the next summer

GooD.-A resolution relative to the Kansas
Imbroglio, offered By Republican, was voted
down in the Assembly on the 18th. The reso-
luton endorsed the position taken by Mr.. Doug
las. While supporting his course heartily, we
at the same time rejoice that majority of the
Legislature refused to take action, at this time,
upon the question 1t is fair to suppose that all
federal legislation may be properly disposed of
without the assistance of the solons OF the Cali
fornia Assembly.

FRUIT TREEs--Many citizens of this place,
and ranchmen in the country, have within the
past week or two been busly engaged in plant
ing very large number of fruit trees. We pre-
sumo that not less than eight or ten thousand
trees will be planted IN this county during the
present season. Every MIN who owns yard of
spare ground should plant upon it some sort of
tree. Some old writer has said, that it cannot
be said of man who has been Instrumental in
adorning the earth with tree, when he dies.
that he was of no benefit to his race.

EXHIBIT VoUcHERs.-We trust that the present
Board of Supervisors will adopt one new feature
in the mode pursued by their predecessors in
examining and allowing accounts. If the Board
will hereafter refuse to allow all accounts not
accompanied with vouchers, they may save a
large amount of money to the county each year.
to allow him for services rendered, or money
expended in the service of the county, his ac-
count should always be accompanied by some
sort of proof, other than his bare assertion, that
the said services were rendered or money ex-
pended.

Is to the effect that troops have been able, by

SACRAMENTO, 18th JAM, 1858.
EDITORS COURIER Variety is said to be the
spice of life. We have it here We have glad
and merry times, and gloomy times. In fact we
jog along in this beautiful city of the plains in
the usual way. Sometimes there is a lecture to
hear on some one of the numerous sologys" of

there are Dramatic readings by Mrs. Lesdernier,
and they are good. Have you ever read Hamlet's

and behold a living, breathing impersona-
ton. And then there are sermons to hear. The
church bells peal out merrily on Sunday morn
ings, and call US sinners to repentance, and we
go-yes go-to see or be seen, is it that's the
question? Parson Benton has preached on the
chaplain question-he was horrifed at the idea
that the Legislature should think of getting
along without prayers being offered up every
morning in its halls-gave the Hon. sirs some
sly digs under the ribs on the "pickings and
stealings," and concluded by praying that the
poor devils (like young kittens) speedily would
get their eyes open and turn from the evil OF i
their ways.

subject of tweedledum or tweedledee. The last
week has been principally speat in developing
the views of the members on economy-rather
a strange word as connected with California
politics. To hear them tell it, every one is for
enonomy, retrenchment, reform, and all that
sort of thing. 1t is delightful to see so many
guardians of the treasury; and then there is the
Watch Dog, (some say Mad Dog,) ready to bite
any thieving bill that may prowl around its val
liable vaults, which, they say, contains about
half million of gold dollars Think of that,
ye croakers and prognosticators of evil.

Col. Henley, Superintendent of Indian Affairs,
has called the attention of the Legislature to
the Indian Reservation SYSTEM and asks that
committee be appointed to visit the Nome Lackee
Reservation, without cost to the State and re-
port as to its condition, and as to the necessity
of any State Law under which offences commit
ted on the Reservation grounds may be punished
by the State Courts. Request denied.
A bill is before the House to repeal the amend

rejoice that he has been appointed Governor of
Kansas, as that position has proved fatal, tenn
porarily at least, to the political prospects of
many men. 1t appears that he was in Kansas
at the time Secretary Stanton, acting Governor,
convened the Legislature of the Territory. As
soon as the President learned of this act, he re-
moved Stanton and nominated Gen. D. in his
stead, who was confirmed by the Senate. The

pointment will not be filled, as the Generals alb

Escape Of Jeptha r.. March.

This man has escaped at last. He was con-
victed in this place several years since of very
deliberate and cold blooded murder The Su-
preme Court granted him a new trial upon the
ground that one of his jury failed to establish
the fact that he was a naturalized citizen. He
was then taken to Colusi, and again tried and
convicted of murder. He again appealed to the
Supreme Court, but the judgment of the Court
below was confirmed. Gov johnson also grant
ed him several respites, two of which reached
been hung. AT last, after lying in jail nearly
three years, alternating between hope de-
spair, he succeeded in making his escape on the
night of the llth inst. On the same night a
communication of his sentence to Imprisonment
for life, granted by Gov. Weller, reached Cclusi.
Lest blame be attached to the Sheriff of Colusi,
we publish the following letter from the Hon. J.
B. Laing, County Judge of that county:
CoLUsI Jan. IL, 1858.
DEAR DosH March escaped from our Jail last
night about 7 o'clock.
Our Sheriff, Mr.. Howard, had only few mo-
ments before left the Jail to go to his office, some
little distance, when the escape was accom-
plished.
Although there are many here who desired to
see March punished, and some of them not
friendly with Mr.. Howard our worthy Sheriff,
yet all agree in acquitting him of blame in the
matter.
An assurance that Mr.. Howard is man of too
much integrity to have been influenced to con-
nive at the escape, may be necessary to you of
Shasta, who are entirely unacquainted with him,
but here such an assurance is not required
Mr.. Howard, fearing blame might be attached
to him, requested me to write you, and to repre-
sent matters as | believe them to be. | have
done so. do not believe him in the slightest
degree culpable. j. B. LANG

TELEGRAPHIc.-On Sunday Evening last, the

all sorts of subjects was kept up by the wits Of
the two places.
The Telegraph Office in this place is in the

Lo THE Poor lNDIAN.-There are several scores
OF lndians-men, women and children--encamp-
ed in the vicinity of this place. They may be
seen in our streets every day, sitting upon the
side walks, upon store boxes and on top of ash
piles. They play the same part here that buz-
yards do in Mexican towns-act MS street scav-
engers. There is nothing eatabe that they will
not eat, and hence they wage very active war
fare against all vagrant pigs, for all such scraps
ofprovender as may find their wayinto the street.
They are eninently useless filthy, lazy, disgust
ing. They go great deal more on g chemuck'
than on clothes. Indeed their total contempt
for dress is sometimes very embarrassing to la
dies. Every now and then one may be seen
walking majestically along, dressed in "gor-
geous array" with nothing but a shirt tied
around his loins intervening between nakedness
and the sunbeams. OF all of them it may be
said truly, as it was said of the '' fast" women
in ancient days, "They toll not, neither do they
spin, yet, Solomon, in all his glory was not ar
rayed like one Of these"
