SPECIAL NOTICES.

Even those who are in the enjoyment of per-
feet health frequently have need to have recourse
to tonic - preventative Of disease. We are new
or too we'll armcred against the assaults of "the
ills that flesh is heir TO-" Such an invigoratsr
they may find in nOSTETTER'S BlTTERS-a
medicine that cannot be taken regularly without
giving Vitality and elasticity to the system. At
this season, particularly, the strongest man is not
proof against the malaria in certain sections of the
country. In I'll cases Of fever and ague, the Bir-
rsRs Is more potent than any amount Of quinne,
while the most dangerous cases of bilious fever
yield to its wonderful properties. Those who
have tried the medicine will never use another for
aLy Of the ailments which the HosTErrKR's B1r-
TIERS processes to subdue. To those who have not
made the experiment, We cordially recommend an
early application to the B.lTERs, whenever they
are stricken by disease Of the digestive organs.

STAGE CPsET.-As the Marysville stage
was descending the hill to Woods Crossing,
just below French Corral, last Saturday
morning, it upset, causing severe injury to
two passengers, badly cutting and bruising a
valuable horse, and jamming in one side of
the coach. The driver is said to have been
intoxicated, and was running race on a
wager with horseman, at the time of the
accident. If the stage had overturned at a
point somewhat further along, it would
probably have been precipitated down de-
clivity of several hundred feet towards the
river, and every soul in it mangled or des-
troyed. The driver afterwards attempted to
continue on with three horses but was pre-
vented. We learn that the company have
since very properly discharged him,

THE Hydraulic Press quotes scrap of our
speech in favor of D. R. Ashley for Govern
or, and adds: i.If he is all this he should
certainly be nominated, but would hardly be
elected
Why thatfP Brother Avery is well enough
posted in the affairs of the State and the
character ofher prominent men to know what
we said of our favorite candidate is true,
every word of it. We hope the Press is not
too neutral to speak a good word for honest
men, and sterling qualities whenever the
rarity is discovered, nor so disposed to look
on the dark side of the picture as to believe
the worst men are always TO be preferred by
the people over the talented and meritorious
Cassandras in politics are worse to a cause
than open enemies.-Neuada Journal
"That If should not have been written,
and q the Press is not too neutral to speak a
good word for honest men and sterling quail
tiles whenever discovered" Further than
this it is impossible for us to reply to the
Journal, honestly, without sacrificing that
same unlovely neutrality.

Foster the Overland Mail Routes.


The overland mail routes have not been pat
ronized as they should be by the people of
California, and as it was to have been expec-
1 ted they would be. Although the apparent
indifference to them results mostly from
carelessness and from the slowness with
which old habits are abandoned, this indif-
vice and we ought to arouse from it at once
The cost of transporting mails over the con-
tinent seems so disproportioned to the bene-
fits resulting and to the amount of public
appreciation, that Congress may think best
to abandon the enterprise as a failure. If
such disastrous act should be perpetrated
were our behavior towards the overland
routes to remain whatit has been. Californ-
ians haveitin thcirpower to keep these routes
open and to put them upon a better footiug
than ever before, by simply forwarding their
correspondence over them. Such tangible
appreciation as large and constantly increas-
ing mails would plead more powerfully in
their favor at Washington than the most el-
oquent Congressman or lengthieSt petition
The schedule time on each of the most pop
ular routes would be speedily reduced we
should ultimately have daily instead of a
weekly mail; the necessity for an expensive
ocean mail service would be removed; the
overland routes would be protected against
savages; telegraphc communication from
ocean to ocean would be more speedily estab-
lished line of passenger coaches would be
run, and chain of settlements would spring
up to link us with our eastern kindred. and
pioneer the Pacific railway These things
are all bound to occur, but we can hasten the
time of their accomplishment by transmit
ting our letters, or a good share of them
through the overland mails. Let all at least,
who have correspondents in the Western
States convey their letters through this me-
dunn, and request their friends to reply in
the some manner. The mails arrive with
great punctuality and usually ahead of the
steamer, and some economy of postage can
be effected by giving them the preference,
many points in the Western States being
within the 3 cent distance of three thous-
and miles. Hereafter, let all who wish to
see the overland mails fostered endorse their
letters "Via Salt Lake, or "Via Los Ange-
les.'

MAY DAY.-This usually beautiful natal
day of summer was cloudy, and mournful
and wet; so there were no celebrations, no
childish carnivals in the green woods no
happy ringing laughter hushing the bird
songs. One exception to this deserves no.
tice. Our neighbors of Sweetland, Birch
vile and French Corral as we are informed,
stole march on time and celebrated Nav
Day on the 30th of April, which was clear
and pleasant. They had jolly picnic in
the woods among the wild flowers, and un-
der the bright vanished leaves of the oaks
An acquaintance who surprised them says
the scene presented by the groups of min
gled men, women and children was very
pretty, and reminded him of the jewellers in
Bocaccios charming tale.

peap Sir E. L. Bulwer, who wrote that
clap-trap republican play, "The Lady Oily
ons," in a late speech on the Parliamentary
Reform Bill, denounced all concession to the
working classes as subvcrsive of the free
dom, safety and honor of England.
The hydraulic press., 1859-05-07

ROAD IMPRovEMENT.-We mentioned in our
last that it was in contemplation to open a
new road from Bradys Ranch to point just
below the Empire Ranch. Since then Mr..
Thomas Freeman has made a survey of the
route and finds that the road can be con-
structed on q grade of not more than thr-
teen inches to the rod. This will be vast
improvement over the old road, which has a
grade of as much as three feet to the rod,
and is, during the wet season, passed over
by loaded teams with the greatest difficulty.
The estimated cost of this improvement is
from eighteen hundred to two thousand dol
! lars, some seven or eight hundred dollars of
which have been subscribed by reliable par
ties along the road. Messrs. David Wood
and Thomas Freeman, who have already
contributed so much to place our mountain
highways in their present excellent condi-
ton, have offered their services as surveyors
and superintendent of the work, and for
the balance of the money needed an appeal
has been made to the business men of Ma
rysville, who will no doubt make liberal
response since their interests are particularly
concerned in the matter.
In this connection we may mention, that
the Board of Supervisors of this county
have been petitioned to appropriate the sum
of five hundred dollars towards building a
bridge over Deer Creek at the lower cross
ing, at point near Oague's place, two miles
this side of Empire Ranch. This is the
point where so much difficulty is experienced
in crossing during the rainy season. At pc
riods of high water valuable teams have
been lost in attempting to ford the stream,
and stage communication frequently inter
rupted.
The petition alluded to received the sig
| natures of all our business men, and should
be favorably considered by the Supervisors.
1t designates Messrs. David Wood, of Bridge
port Theodore French, of Deer Creek, and
John A. Seely, of North San Juan to be ap-
pointed as Commissioners to locate the
bridge aud contract for building the same.
The above improvements accomplished,
no mountain road in the State will be supe-
ricr to the one between this place and Ma
rysviile.
The hydraulic press., 1859-05-07


We learn from the Boston correspondence
of the 4Ha that Pacific Railway meeting
Was to be held AT Fanueil Hall. An effort
was being made to have the Legislature
incorporate the Peoples Pacific Railroad COM
pany. with capital of one hundred million
dollars divided into shares of one hundred
dollars each, with which to build the road,
with the consent of the States through which
any part of the road may be laid, and with
the legal consent of Congress. 1t is proposed
to undertake telegraph line in advance Of
the road, as soon as Sl5,OOO,0 900 is obtained.
The originator of this plan is Josiah Perham.
Would it not be good joke if these Yankees
built the road while sthe rest of mankind"
are talking about it?
