DEAR DEMocRAr We left Marysville this
morning in one of the California Stage Co.'S
superb coaches, at o'clock, and arrived in
this town in time to get most excellent
breakfast at the clean, comfortable and well
kept hotel Of Messrs Moore & Co. We are
on a tour of observation and pleasure, and
have been roaming over the hills until we
are too much tired to describe the half of
what we have seen. Nevertheless, we shall |
jot down few things which may or may /
not be Of interest
In the first place, the beholder is struck /
with wonder as he enters this town of the
foothills, at seeing the manifestations of the /
industry, energy, ingenuity and untiring
perseverance of civilized man on every
hand. Over deep gorges and along steep,
dizzy precipices roll the swift streams that
are to wash down the huge mountains for
their hidden wealth and are washing them
down from day to day, till the whole face Of
the country seems torn, rent and emboweIed.
Deep tunnels penetrate the secretest center of
the hills, and the mysterious lamp ever burns
in the dark recesses, BY night and 10y day
the silent delivers are at work. and the fruits
of their toll are evident in every quarter.
Some day we shall more minutely describe
the truly great performances Of human gen
/ ius and energy in this most remarkable re-
gion.
Whosoever visits this picturesque locality
will find it not destitute of many of the APP
planes and aduncts of older communities.
He will find nice little temple of the MUSES.
in the shape of the Timbuctoo Theater. He
will also find what is even more than thea
ter, an evidence of advancing civilization,
to-wit a superbly equipped and admirably
constituted company of fremen, known as
the Rescue Hose Company. They have
their fire plugs all along the main streets,
and can deluge the town at a moments
warning. The Chief Engineer, Jack Clark,
is a true fireman in spirit and in action, brave,
generous and oyial. and all the Timbuctoo
firemen are just like him.
Although, the present is the dullest season

/ Among the brisk business houses of the place
is the dry goods and grocery store of Mr.
Cosgrovc, whose clerk is Mr. Z. Lalor, gen.
tlcman of great popularity, and highly es
teemel although, according to our thinking,
on the wrong SIDE of politics. He is a can
date for the Assembly on the Breckinridge
ticket The establishment ofMr. Julian is a
very noticeable feature in this goodly town of
Timbuctoo. He deals in tin and hardware,
and manufactures hydralic pipe. This latter
article is made to the size Of 22t inches in
diameter, and will last for years. He does a
lerge business in this way, and is making
money rapidly, as he deserves to, for he has
built up his establishment and its patronage
by dint of honest and patient industry as well
as a spirit of liberality and generosity.
y. G. Ditrick is doing excellenty well in
his new establishment know as the "Timbuc.

there as at any first class eating house in

friends, and especially our Douglas friends,

There are various saloons in the town
which are doing well. Among these is a
very popular place of resort, known as the

their liquors are not at all inferior to those
which are vauntingly sold in the larger cities
