The Martial spirit of the People of
California.

For genuine martial spirit the people Of
California are not surpassed II eaualed by
any that now live on the face OF the earth or
that emblazon the annals Of history. Not
that they love war for itself, but that they
absolutely count it with sublime cnihu-
siasm in self defense or in the defense of
their fellow-citizens, or in the vindication Of
honor. This blending of valor with an ex-
alted civilization distinguishes 1t as a neral
feature, admirable to look upon.
Within few hours after the intelligence
Of the massacre Of the Ormsby party reached
the country by telegraph, hundreds were on
their way and thousands we're prepared 10
20 at n moments warning. to protect their
fellow citizens in the Carson Valley country
and to avenge the blood Of the slain. and all
this outside the authority OF the Govern
ment, and at the sacrifice Of individual in
terest. No instance could more eloquently
illustrate the intelligence and moral sense OF
our people and the strength OF their sympa-
thies while 1t no less suggests the ardent
patriotism, and the oa,bursting. overwhelm-
ing power OF a democratic State. which acts
with the promptness of volitiol ITSELF the
harmony OF a common spirit and the power
OF volcano. There is no sacrifice Of the
welfare of the State to despotic rule, 10 hes
tation about forms or cavils about authority;
the people know their wants and their du-
ties aud respond to them with all the zeal,
vigor and effectiveness OF self-will, know
ing that the functionaries of the State are
devoted to their service. and that all they
do will be satisfied by the Government.
With this dignifed union of action, this
unbounded confidence between the Governor
and the governed, it is easy to discover the
elastic spontaneous, irresistible power Of
such Democracy as we possess in the State
efCalfornia.
II requires little reflection on our part
TO enable usduly to appreciate and enjoy the
value, the grandeur and the truly proud
character Of our Government. that reflects a
sort OF lordly maaliness upon every indi-
vidual member of it.

AnoNIS ABLE.-The side walks in Grass
Valley are a disgrace to the town. On
Church street it is worth almost a life to
pass after night, for the pitfalls. From the
hetel on the corner to the tbeater ii is real
ly unsafe TO pass in the night. The walks on
the lower end of Mill street are also in
most wretched condition On the north
side of Main street, instead OF the regular
and pleasant grade which they had before
the fire they now cxihit series of stairs to
show the selfish taste Of property holders
who consult no convenience but their own.
With an abundant material az hand for ma
king the best kind OF good walks our people
stick to old dilapidated plank walks. with
nails sticking up to tear ladies dresses; while
in front OF Loyd's, Findley's. Sylvester q.
Nc Laughlin,s aud other places tie walks
are so filled up with boxes. barrels, and
packages, that crinoline can scarcely pass
without danger of collapsing.- Do, gentle
men take some Of yonr truck under cover
Of your store, and ''give the gals chance"
Grass Valley instead Of being the neat noun
tain town that il ever was, is becoming a
reproach for bad side walks, and dirty ana
filthy streets.

A Rich Strike.

On Mon day morning of last week, Mr.
George Burrus, recently proprietor Of the
Washington Hotel Of this place, while pas
sing along the liue Of a ditch on the south
side.of Deer Greek. about mile south OF
Nevada, came to an excavation, used for
running OIL the sands from the ditch, and
looking down into The same, thought he per-
ceived some gold. lie Immediately entered
the excavation aDd to bis joy aud surprise,
discovered the groupings Of a quartz ledge,
literally studded with the precious mineral.
He FASTENED to notify three OF his friends.
named a. NJ Kelley, BENZ. Mead and john
Mckay, Of his discovery. who returned with
him to the ground. where they arrived about
p. NJ, and after stalking or their claims
commenced taking out rock, and worked on,
until dark. Soon after commencing work
in the msrning, they were observed by some
Of the ditch proprietors, who, perceiving
that they were getting out rock of great
richness. proceeded at once TO turn stream
Of water upon them, which soon drove them
from the excavation, and compelled them TO
stop work. A connter claim was also set
up TO the ground, which will very likely al.
ford some rich pickings for the lawyers.
The result Of their four or five hours work
was'a -four sack full Of rock. which was
subsequently, pounded out in a hand NOR
tar and the gold sold to Mr.. Delauo, Of this
place, for sls93!
The lead was abuut six inches thick. at the
point where it was struck. The ledge may
prove of great value. although, as a general
rule, such rich strikes are apt y prove mere
pockets We trust that in the present
case the reverse may be the rule.

JAcKsON's RANCH.

One OF the most noted points on this route
is - Jaekson's Ranch " situated near the
junction Of the North and South forks OF the
Middle Yuba. 1t may we'll be termed hun
ter's paradise. From Jackson's house to
the upper end Of the valley at the summit
the distance is about seven miles, and at
this season Of the year the entire valley is
alive with grouse, quail, and other small
game. A few days hence the grizzly bear
and deer will make their appearance in the
valley. We spent day at Jackson s where
we punished the game seyerely-that is with
knives and forks.
Mr.. Geo Webber has taken half lease oi
this ranch and in connection with Mr.. Jack
son will hereafter carry on both the ranch
and the house. Whenever the business OF
the road NAV warrant it, and lumber can be
obtained, they will put NJ more COM
modious and suitable building than the one
they now occupy. and one in every way
suited to the present aud prospective bust
ness OF the road.
Mr. j. has run out new trail from bis
ranch to Downieville, by which the latter
place may be reached within a distance Of
four miles. Should this trail when properly
opened, prove what Is expected, it will un-
doubtedly take large portion Of the Dow
Neville travel away from the Sierra Valley
route.

but through the counivance of several of our

trived TO give his name exclusively to this
now celebrated locality. This Pass was frs.
