OPPOSITION STEAMSHIP LlNE.-Among
our new advertisements will be found one of
G. X. Garrison & Co., who announce the
establishment of an Opposition Steamship
Line from San Francisco to New York, via
Panama, the first departure from this side
to be the OrizaJa, on Monday, the 5th of
March next. This looks as if the long talk
ed of opposition is really to commence; and
we echo the sentiments of tens of thousands
of Californians in saying that we rejoice at
the promise. The public have been so often
deluded by accounts of an opposition start
ing, that it has come TO believe steamship
men humbugs, and are disposed to put little
confidence in them. Garrison e. Co.. have
now chance of redeeming their credit
Will they do it by starting this line! We'll
see!

January, 1859, to take into consideration the pro-
priety of celebrating the II tn of March next, (St
Patricks Day., among other proceedings then
had, the following resolutions were unanimously
adopted:
WHEREAS, National affection prompts the Amer

one of the sources from which our glorious Re-
public. in its early struggle for liberty derived
moiety of that priceless treasure free Institutions
Which happy millions now enjoy, and
WHEREAS, Those Institutions are best perpet-
uated and preserved by reviving on suitable occa-
tons, as examples for our imitation, those ances-
tral virtues which gave them origin, and
| WHEREAS, American citizens of Irish birth and
descent, have just cause to be proud of the Saints
the heroes, the poets the statesmen of their faith
erand, and of that spirit of liberty which warmed
INTO being by the genial radiance of christianity,
| the Irish nation have always exhibited, to resist
the oppression and throw off the yoke of foreign
oppression at home, as in the liberal contribution
| Whlch lts patriots have made to the advancement
| OF American liberty and glory. Therefore
Resolved, That we will with becoming ceremo-
ny, celebrate the 18th of March next, (St. Pat
rick's Day., at Forest Hill and vicinity, Placer

Resoired, That the ties of national brotherhood

most cordially and respectfully invite all who may
feel disposed, irrespective of party nativity, or
creed, to assist at said celebration.
Resolced, That we earnestly request our fellow
citizens OF adjoining counties to unite with us and
participate in the festivities of the occasion.
Res0fDed, That these proceedings be published
in the newspapers of Placer County.

New School BooK-WARREN's INTERME-
D1ArE GEoGRApHY.-We have been favored
by Mr.. R. G. Hanson, of the Auburn Book
Store, with copy of this new and valuable
school book, a recent issue by the publishers,
II. H. Bancroft e. Co., Of San Francisco.
1t is designed as an elementary work for
schools, and from its classification and SIM
plicity will doubtless become popular with
teachers, parents and children. 1t contains
twenty-six maps and ninety.two engravings.
The work is divided into four parts, viz: Part
lst-a description Of the land; 2nd-of the
water; 3rd-of the atmosphere and its phe-
nomenon; 4th-of vegetable and animal
life. There are also valuable statistical tables
giving important information. One of the
new and interesting features of the work is
first a county map of California, compiled
from the most reliable authority at Washing
ton; second, a commercial map of the Unit
ed States, showing the principal connecting
lines of Railroads across the country, and
the proposed Railroad and Stage routes to
the Pacific; and third, commercial map
of the world, being chart exhibiting the
principal routes of oceanic communication.
We have no hesitation in recommending
this work to parents and teachers as one of
the best that has been offered to the public.
1t will be found for sale at Mr.. Hanson's
store in this place.

CONCURRENT REsoLUrIoNs.-The Legisla-

in passing concurrent resolutions instruct

California interests to henotice of Congress.
In the majority of instances we think these
resolutions were necessary, but there is a
disposition to carry the business too far
We would suggest that if there are any
more, they must be passed within few days
in order to reach Washington before the
close of the session, as Congress adjourns
upon the 4th Of March.

Look TO THE SrovE PIPEs.-We would
call the attention of those owning property
occupied by Chinese in town, to the unsafe
condition of number of their stove-pipes.
From observations we made in that quarter
a few days since, we were convinced that the
immunity of the town from fire was more
the result of good fortune than of care.
The known carelessness of Chinese should
prompt persons renting them buildings to see
to it personally that their stove pipes should
be put up in such manner to secure against
danger from fire as far as possible.

RICH QUARrz-We are informed that a
company of Frenchmen are now getting out
some very rich quartz on North Ravine a
short distance from the old Civil Usage place,
and about mile and a half from Auburn.
Our informant says he saw in their possession
on last Sunday, one bucket of quartz which
they estimated to be worth $500. Mr..
Holm, of this place is one of the company.
The rich qurtz veins of the Auburn ravine
are beginning to attract the attention of min
ers and it is well they should, as the vaua-
bic discoveries made in them from time to
time, warrant the belief that this is one Of
the finest quartz fields in the State, that must
ere long receive the attention Of capital
and labor that will develop the bddn wealth
of the vast lodges that thread this portion of
the country like a system of network.
