TELEGRAPH AROUND THE WoRLD.-Major
Collins, who has excited SO much interest
with reference to the Amoor river, and the
field afforded by that portion of the Russian
dominions for an important extension of
American commerce, is now at Toronto, Can
ada, as we learn from letter of his in the
Sonora Democrat, urging through the Colo
NAL Parliament charter for the "Trans-
mundane Telegraph Company"-to connect
the Pacific coast and whole American Union
with Asia and Europe, ria Behring's Straits,
and the Amoor river to Moscow He writes
very neutrality-suspicious. no failure
Sir George Simpson, Governor of the Hud-
sons Bay Company, is one ofthe corporators
in this magnificent enterprise, and Major
Collins himself is another.

INTERVENTION.

In new country like California, where
the first great want is intelligence, mans
fitness to serve in the legislative capacity
should be partly judged by the amount of
his devotion to the cause of education. If
he has never done anything to increase the
popular facilities for acquiring knowledge, or
if he manifests no interest in the subject and
has no clear ideas about it, for the sake of
the commonwealth don't make a law-quack
Of him. We have had enough of legislators
who are Indifferent to, or at least neglectful
of, the primary interest ofpublic instruction.
1t is high time that the public schools re-
ceived as much attention as is paid to private
s'claims;" time we devoted more attention to
the prere,ltion of crime by efforts to lessen the
amount of general ignorance The State
owes every child an education, but has so
far practically ignored the obligation. For
the last five years she has paid but nine
dollars for the tuition of each child old en-
ough to attend school, while during the same
period the sum of 81 ,685 has been spent on
every criminal confined at San Quentin T.
The whole amount contributed for the sup
port ofschools last year was but So, ,404 95;
to be divided amongst more than 10000
children who are old enough to be instruct
ed, though onlya little more than one-fourth
were instructed. Yet in the face of these
facts, which were forcibly set forth by the
State Superintendent of Public Instruction,
the last Legislature did nothing for educa-
ton, except to defeat the only bill that was
calculated for its promotion. With juvenile
thieves running in the streets of our cities,
and thousands of little vagabonds growing
up in ignorance to graduate as useless if not
as vicious members of society, the last Leg
islature of the boastful, wealthy State of
California wasted days of precious time, and
thousands of dollars, in the discussion of
political resolutions; but devoted not one
day, nor one dollar, to the cause of public
instruction The admirable report of the
State Superintendent was treated with less
respect than one of Belongs ''cogent, ur-
gent and magnificent" speeches; and even
the meagre hints of the Governor were
heard, not needed
1t is time to change all this. 1t is time to
demand of every candidate for the Legisla-
ture that he pledge himself to aid in making
our public school system what it should be.
The people want Intervention in favor Of
intelligence against ignorance. Make the
school fund sufficient for the education Of
those who are not privately educated, and
then see to it that every child is sent to
school. Here's doctrine of intervention on
which all parties can agree. Let US put the
main question to every aspirant for legisla-
tive honors who addresses US from the stump.
Let us know whether he has thought at all
upon the subject which ought to occupy
legislators thoughts largely, aud if he has
not-vote him down.

the State convention met at the Court House
last Saturday. The permanent officers were; /;
President-W. E. Anderson Vice Presidents
j B. Johnson, W. II. Cloud Secretaries
H NJ Moore, J. G. Davenport The follow
ing delegates were chosen to represent the
county in the State convention, which meets
at Sacramento next Wednesday: A. T. Laird,

The delegation was instructed to vote for
Meredith for Congress, and will probably
support for Governor that man whose friends
will back Meredith. A resolution endorsing
John B. Weller is reported to have been laid
on the table.
An Independent convention is called for to-
day, the 18th, and it is thought by some a
fourth ticket will be nominated. The spirit
of old whiggery is stirring.
All Coon, who killed one of his country

GRASS VALLEY-The National says the
water-works are now in fine condition, and
that no mountain town is better protected
against fire than Grass Valley. Hydrants
are stationed about two hundred feet apart
through the principal streets, and the pres

hose with the power of steam engine.
Daily showers from these hydrants keep the
streets cool and free from dust.

EUROPEAN NEws-Immediately after our
regular issue last Saturday we published an
extra giving the news by the Overland Mail
which arrived on Friday. Since then the
steamer Golden Gate and another Overland
Mail have arrived with later intelligence.
There had been no material change in the
position of affairs No battle had been fought
though skirmish took place between the
Austrians and Sardinians on the former at
tempting to cross the Pc. The Austrians
exhibited much apparent indecision, and there
was great sickness in the army. Meanwhile
warlike preparations were still going on. The
Emperor Napoleon left Paris for Genoa on
the 18th of May. The Empress is proclaimed
Regent during his absence. Three hundred
millions were already subscribed to the new
French loan. Preparations were going on at
every arsenal and dockyard in England, and
supplies of cannon were still being sent to
Gibralter and other important stations; yet
it is said the English, as well as the Prus-
slams, have resolved to maintain a strict neu-
trality The French force is to be maintained
at Rome. Turkey was arming, and expected
to take part in the conflict against Austria.
The Italian revolutionists counsel insurrec-
ton against Austria and the appointment of
provisional governments under Victor Eman-
ual. The next Overland intelligence may
possibly be decisive for war.

Notice..
MOUNTAIN scESERY.-Aparty of gentlemen

MOUNTAIN SCENERY-A party of gentlemen
citizens of North San Juan, lately made a
trip to the summit lakes, above Eureka
South. In spite of much toilsome climbing.
they speak enthusiastically of the invigor-
ating atmosphere, cold sweet water and
beautiful scenery They found the snow in
some localities forty feet deep, and packed so
hard that it can be travelled over with ease.
Streams are bridged by it, in some places,
the water flowing under an arch of solid
snow. The scenery in those regions is sub
lime. Lofty peaks, rugged and bare of trees.
rising island-like above green concavities of
forest tops, afford yistas of cireling noun
tains, azure and snow-spotted of the loom
ing prairies, streaked with timber belts; ofthe
pyramidal Buttes, blue as heaven and as
soft; and of the far distant Coast Range,
whose wavy line melts along the horizon.
Close around the gazer the clear, still lakes
are lifted up, like mirrors, framed in drip
ping, messy rock, with here and there a
shrub or flower. Some of these lakes small
as they are, have depth of several hun
dred feet, and are tenanted by gay speckled
trout. Streamlets ripple along musically
from them; waterfalls weave misty shouds
among adjacent cliffs, and
-'The cataract blows its trumpet from the steep.'
The grand scenery of the Sierra Nevada is
yet unknown to fame, and it lacks the thous-
and associations-personal historic and ira
ditional-that give beauty and celebrity to
regions of less intrinsic interest But the
day must come when these mountains will
be sought by tourists and lovers of the pic
turesque; when the pen and pencil of genius
shall illustrate their charms, and poesy link
them to human song to be household mem
ories forever. A native race may yet grow
up amongst them, imbued with all noble
traits with the clinging affection of the
Swiss, the brave devotion of the Tyrolese,
the warmth Of the Italian and the intellect
and freedom of Americans. This race will
have its traditions and its songs. Every
canon and peak, now nameless, will have a
place in the vocabulary Of history and ro-
nance. The roar of pines and the voice of
many waters will be echoed in its music. the
blue of heaven be reflected in the love-dart-
ing eyes of its daughters, and the tail cedar
emulated by the forms of its sons.

AUBURN RAILRoAD.-The Placer Herald in
forms US that subscription papers have been
circulated within few days for stock to
company, to be entitled the " Sacramento.
Auburn and Nevada Railroad Company
Over $4,000 has already been subscribed,
and when the subscriptions reach the amount
of $150,000 the permanent organization of
the company will be completed The Her
aid speaks hopefully of the prospects of the
projected road, says responsible parties are
willing to subscribe literally and take the
contract for building it, and that it can be
constructed and put in running order in
eighteen months. The Nevada journals COM
mend the project, and urge citizens to sub
scribe, though how railroad will benefit
the business men of that city we cannot
clearly see. That it would be of general ad-
vantage to the county by affording more and
cheaper facilities for travel, and by reducing
the cost of transportation, thus making goods
come lower to consumers is true enough,
for such are the common benefits of railway
communication. For these reasons we hope
10 see the Auburn Railroad speedily built.
Whether it would be prudent for the county,
in her present indebted condition, to aid the
work to the extent of $3.50, 900, as author
lied by law passed last winter and recon-
mended by at least one of our contemporaries,
is rather questionable. Better leave it en-
tirely to private enterprise.

TAKE WARN1Ne.-Severa1 children have
been drowned recently in several parts of the
State, by falling into fumes and bitches.
Only last Tuesday, lad named Albert Ed
wards, aged about twelve years, the only
child of a widow, was drowned at Nevada,
while swimming in ditch. Such mournful
accidents as these must occur very often, un-
less children are carefully guarded. The little
folks go playing about the running water or
reservoirs, for which they have a natural
fondness, and unless attended are liable to
fall in and be lost. The deep banks of the
mining claims are another danger for chill
dren. We have shuddered to see daring
youngsters frolicking on the very edge of
chasms that make older heads dizzy to gaze
slnon; and every day fear to learn that one

The DOUGLAS STATE CoNyENTIoN-In our
telegraphic report will be found the nomina-
tions made by this body, which assembled
at Sacramento on the 18th inst There were
present about 25o delegates. A permanent
organization was not effected until the sec
ond day. The session was not very harmo-
nious. The following paragraphs from a
private letter will prove interesting.
SACRAMENTO, June 10th.
On assembling this morning the Commit
tee on permanent organization made their
report, appointing j. W. McCorkle President
of the Convention, together with Vice Pres
idents and Secretaries, and that the order of
business should be-lst Platform and Reso-
lutions; I'd Nominations of State officers.
The report was adopted
Mr.. McCorkle, on taking the chair, made
fiery speech. He grew very red in the face
and brought his fist in violent contact with
the table when he spoke of the ingratitude
of James Buchanan to his friends on this
coast Ut will be remembered that the
speaker tried to get the appointment of Col
lector at the Port of San Francisco.l He
charged that the Presidents favors were be-
slowed upon men who tried to defeat his
nomination, and spoke of the control had
over him by the southern disunionists-men
whom Genl. Jackson would have hung as
high as Haman. He said that there are fa-
natics at the South as well as at the North.
and it was left for the Douglass Democracy
to crush fanaticism out wherever it shows
itself
At the conclusion of his address, which
was very short, the convention took recess
until 12 aclock, to give the committee, on
Platform and Resolutions time to report.
The convention reassembled, and adopted
a platform and resolutions amid such noise
and confusion that l could not catci' one
word. never attended a-meeting of any
kind where there was so much uproar.
Just previous to the nonsNatiodr be-
ing made for Governor, some harsh words
passed between John Conness and Captain
Frisbie. Conness, who is supposed to speak
for Broderick, spoke in favor of pursuing a
liberal course, SO that all opponents of the
Administration could unite to defeat the par
ty that supports it. He made some illusions
to which Frisbie took exceptions, and replied
in bitter terms.

JNo. McCoY.-This gentleman, an old citi-

Eastern States has been for some time expec-
ted by numerous friends in this vicinity, was
severely, though not dangerously hurt, by
an accident which occurred on the New York
Central railroad, near place called Jordan,
on the 18th of May. Mr.. Mccoy was on his
way from Illinois to New York, where he
intended to take passage to California. He
was accompanied by his wife, who was also
injured. We can learn nothing further of
the accident than what is given in brief
despatch amongst the news brought by the
Golden Gate. Mr.. Mccoy and his wife are
said by the Tribune to be abadly hurt, and
were at the Syracuse House, in Syracuse.
