CAMpToNv1LLE-The Odd Fellows of this
place had little celebration by themselves
on Tuesday. The members of Gold Ridge
Lodge No. AZ went in procession from their
Hall to Napier's Hotel, where they partook
of a fine dinner and indulged in an inter-
change of sentiment and good feeling. In
the evening very pleasant dancing party
was given under their auspices at the Ar
cade, to which the public was invited and
which was attended by about thirty ladies.
Mr.. Freeman is now engaged in improving
the road to the Crossing. He has some for
ty men employed upon it, and is construct
ing an entirely new section, commencing at
a point about mile beyond the junction of
the Forest City and old Camptonville road,
and grading the principal hill between there
and Bogardus Ranch. From this point the
new route will proceed by an easy grade over
both hills lying beyond.

Beyn The political cauldron is in its first
simmer, the three parties having set the time
of holding their State Conventions. The
Republicans take time by the foretop, as
Mrs. Partington says, and hold theirs first,
on the 7th of June; the Douglas Democrats
hold theirs on the 18th of the same month,
and the Administration Democrats on the
22d; all at Sacramento Candidates for the
various offices to be filled at the coming
election are as thick as heas in n Digger
''campode," and about as lively. There can
only one thing be certainly predicated in re-
gard to the results of these political assem-
blies and that is, that all the candidates will
not receive nominations, nor will all the
nominees be elected. The wisdom of this
conclusion must be apparent.

GEN. Jas. NJ. Estill is dead. He bore the
reputation of being faithful and warm
hearted friend, but an unscrupulous politi-
clan, and is said to have allowed nothing to
stand in the way of success. His connection
with the public affairs of California was
neither honorable to himself nor beneficial
to the State.

TUESDAY, the 26th inst. was probably cell
ebrated wherever Odd Fellowship extends
throughout America. The celebration in
California was very general and hearty, con-
sisting of professions, orations, poems, din
ners and dances. The orations were all
good, the poetry not. Mr. Bausman's poem
read at Sacramento, occupied an hour and a
quarter in the delivery, and has been publish
ed in a volume of seventy-two pages. 1t is
a social satire, and is said to contain many
excellent passages. The best orations, for
the perusal of outsiders, are those delivered
by Messrs. Freelon and Tracy. That of Mr..
Ely, at Marysville, is pronounced by the
Democrat very eloquent effort, and we have
been assured by a gentleman who heard it
that some portions of it melted the audience
into tears. The language of nearly all the
orators would leave the impression on the
mind, that Odd Fellowship is the salt of the
earth and all that can save it from perdition.
In connection with these celebrations we
should mention, that the Union accomplished
the noticeable feat of publishing full tele-
graphic reports of them in a double issue the
morning after their occurrence. The reports
included orations and poems, and occupied
thirty-two columns.
