The Democratic State Convention assem-
bled pursuant to call, at Eugene City, on
the 10th inst. a somewhat stormy session
was had. Eight counties seeded, because
the basis Of appointment adopted by the
State Central Committee was endorsed by
the Convention. The seceders met after
Withdrawing, and declared their intention to
to support the Charleston nominee in any
event They also declared that they should
send no separate delegation to the Charles
ton Convention. The regular Convention
elected as delegates to the National Conyen-
ton, Gen. Joseph Lane, Hon. Lansing Stout,
Hon. NJ. =. Deadly; and as alternates, Gen
j. Lamerck, Gen. John Adair, and John F.
Miller. The following resolutions were I'M
animously adopted:
Resolced, That we re ndorse the platform
adopted by the Democratic Convention at
Cincinnati in 1856.
Resolped, That we indorse the policy of our
present Chief Magistrate, James Buchanan
as being in strict accordance with the princi-
pies of the Democratic party.
Resolped, That we recommend to the con-
sideraton OF the Charleston Convention our
distinguished fellow citizen, Gen. Joseph
Lane, as the first choice of the Democracy
of Oregon for the Presidency; and our dele
gates are hereby instructed to use all honor
able means to secure his nomination.
Resoloed, That we pledge the Democracy
Of this State to give a hearty and earnest
support to the nominee Of the Charleston
Convention, whoever ne may he.

The number attending School during the
year was GlG but the daily average attend
anre amounted only TO 33l.
From this hasly comparison of the returns
for the three years last past, the gradual
progress of the school system may be noted;
and although we cannot boast that much has
been done for the cause of education, yet
taking into consideration that California was
peoped as it were but Yesterday, and com
munities have but of late taken character
for permanency, or turned their attention to
the building up of society, our institutions
for the benefit of the "lit,le peeps" have sue
ceeded very well. And now that they ave
been gotten under way, no steps will be Ia
ken backward but gradual expansion and
development Of the School system will 60
on until with Primary and High Schools we
may boast of educational facilities equal to
the bes: favored ccmmun ties.

ANOTHER RoUTE.-The practicablity OF
constructing good wagon road over the
mountains, by way of Bear Valley and Jack
sons ranch, and at comparatively small
cost, is advocated by many who are ac-
quain:ed with the country. This route fol
lows the old emigrant road for some distance
above Bear Valley, when it bears off to the
left and unites with the Eureka and Henness
pass routes to Iackson's ranch. There is
already an exceect wagon road to Bear
Valley, and we are informed that an equally
good road can be made from there to Jack
sons ranch for $4,000 or $4,000. The dis
lance from the Washoe diggings to Nevada
by this route, is said not to exceed So or
90 miles From the interest which the peo-
pie of this county are lately taking in the
matter, we should not be surprised if good
roads were opened next spring, both by way
of Bear Valley and Eureka.
