McCue's Opposition Line.

In a week or two the peach season will be over,
when, Jim McCue informs us, it is his intention
to go into the Opposition Stage business with
more spirit and determination than ever. There
is denying that it's both to the direct and in
direct advantage of our town to sustain him.
There is plenty of travel for both lines If fairly
divided, as is rendered apparent from the fact
that the coaches of the Combination Company
frequently go out jammed full inside, and with
twelve and fourteen passengers ON top. There
can be no safety to human life over these noun
tains with any such load and the only wonder
is that people are so reckless of safety as to
take the risks.
McCue's enterprise is backed by another and
better argument. He keeps down the prices of
fare. Before he came on, six dollars were de-
manded as the price of a passage to Marysville.
Now, by his line, the traveller pays but three
Fare is worth that between San Juan and Ma
rysville and no more. To be sure, the Combina-
ton carries for one dollar, but should Jim pull
off, up again it would go to six. Every one will
see, then-particularly every permanent resi-
dent Of the town, that McCue should be liber-
ally patronzed. "Opposition is the life of trade
and so long as there is an open field, the enter
prising have right to enter it with their capital,
and succeed in whatever business they may
choose to adopt, if they can.

OVER PREcIrIcE.-On Monday last, while
ascending Woods Hill, heavily-loaded eight
mule team, belonging to John Adams, of Sacra-
mento, and driven by his brother, was precipitat-
ed over the bank, at point opposite the place
where the water from the French Corral fume
pitches into the ravine, under the following cir
cumstances Mr.. Adams was driving up the hill,
and was about to pass team going down. He
"ge'ed off, for that purpose, and in doing SO, was
obliged to cross an embankment erected with
logs and stones, which gave way. The wagon
upset over the bank, bounding some twenty feet
down the hill, but fortunately lodging against
bush, on kind of earthly platform. Neither
the driver nor the animals were injured, and not
more than fifty dollars worth of damage done to
the goods and wagon. Had the team rolled over
and gone to the bottom-an almost perpendicular
distance of three hundred feet-the smash-up
would have been terrible.
The hydraulic press., 1860-09-01
state Of the Roads.

Great complaint is made by teamsters, stage
drivers, travellers and residents along certain
parts of the road between North San Juan and
Timbuctoo, because of the shameful neglect of
several of the road Overseers to discharge their
duties as the law requires, and the wants of the
people demand. There are two praise-worthy
exceptions, and two only. These occur in the
districts of Judge Stidger and Mr.. David Wood.
Both of these gentlemen have exhibited COM
mendable pride in keeping the roads within their
respective Jurisdictions in almost perfect state
of repair; and some of the drivers say they
could tell with their eyes blinded, when their
teams have crossed the boundary lines, and got
into their dominions.
The roads ofthe Sweetland district, fhe French
Corral district, and the Timbuctoo district, are
sadly dilapidated The Oxerseers, it seems,
have done little or no work ON them lately. In
some places the culverts or ditch bridges are un-
safe to cross. In others, large pools of water
have flooded the roads, causing miry spots, into
which heavily loaded wagons sink almost hub
deep and in others still there loose bouders,
deep chuck-holes, siding places and abrupt
pitches, all of which are destructive of wagons,
and perilous to human and brute safety.
We hope-and every one along the road hopes
Ito see an immediate remedy in these districts.
If the Oyerseers are unwilling, or feel themselves
incompetent to discharge the duties assigned
them, they had better resign and allow efficient
men to be appointed in their places.
The hydraulic press., 1860-09-01

THE MAIMED.-Each of the mountain towns
furnishes its full quota of MANNED and lacerated
miners, who have suffered from accident in the
diggings; but perhaps Timbuctoo and its neigh
borhood can claim preeminence in this respect.
Recently the number of her injured population
has been very large. Broken arms, cracked
heads, crushed hands and fractured bones of
other portions of the body, have been painfully
frequent. 1t is worthy of observation, however,
as an eloquent argument in favor of the climate
of California, that in nearly all cases where the
injury sustained by the vital organs has not been
serious, no matter how badly the other members
have been crushed, bruised or broken, with pro-
per surgical treatment, the patients are almost
certain to recover. Happily for the region named,
physician is found in the person of DR.. James
Simpson, of Timbuctoo, whose success, in the
management of an extensive practice, has been
surprising. Although quite young man in
years, he will soon, if he does not already, rank
foremost among the very best surgeons in the
State,
The hydraulic press., 1860-09-01

MARvsvILLE FAIR.-Mr. J. A. Seeley, who
has just returned from Marysville, informs us,
that the preparations being made for the Fair,
which is to open on Monday, are on a scale of
magnifcence beyond his utmost anticipations.
The interior of the Pavilion will look gorgeous,
and the stock-grounds, about half-mile from
the city, are extensive, and have been fitted up
in style of convenience and comfort. which
cannot fail to give satisfaction to exhibitors.
Upwards of fifty stock entries were made on
Wednesday, and this feature of the event, it is
expected, will prove more than ordinarily attrac-
tive.

SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER l, 1860

IIMBUcToo.-The recent gold returns from
the Timbuctoo mining region, have astonished
everybody. They have truly been enormous.
The town is also prosperous in other particulars.
1t evinces this in the stirring and Industrious
character of its population-their intelligence,
good taste and proverbial hospitality. Their
principal hotel, kept by Mayon & Moore, is, be-
yond all question, one of the finest in the State;
not in the fare alone, but in those many other
comforts and polite attentions on the part of the
proprietors, which serve to make the guests So
journ agreeable. In the dry goods and provision
line, there are the separate extensive establish
ments of A. Block & Co., McAllis & Gordon and
Stewart & Co. J. M. Julien goes largely into
che manufacture of fume-pipe, tin and copper
ware. r. n. Thayer supplies the town abun-
Aanely with lumber, and has left the traces of his
superior workmanship as carpenter, on many
of its buildings. Congdon & Co. keep an extern
sive livery stable, well stocked with travelling We
hicles and spirited animals. They have also
meat market, capable of answering all the nu-
merous demands made upon it by a carniverous
public. And in the way of saloons, the 'sClub
House," of Dunbar & Co.; the "Union," by
Boynton & Simons, and the Theater billiard
rooms of Dettmer & Davis, are among the choic-
est. Huffman entertains one with frst-rate
Havana cigar. For the pleasant sojourn of
few days in mining town, and among mining
people, we know of no place where we could
more conscientiously recommend person to go,
than Timbuctoo.
The hydraulic press., 1860-09-01

TIMBUcToo THEATER.-At no place in the
mountains have they more stylish or comfort
able little Theater than at Timbuctoo. 1t was
built by Thayer & Peters of that place, and is
owned by Dittmer & Davis, who keep an excel
lent saloon in the basement Its dimensions
are, 36x76 feet, and it is capable of seating 400
persons. The scenery, of which there is con-
siderable variety, is new and gaudy, from the
pencil of A. H. Hyers, artist.
Timbuctoo is not near so populous town as
North San Juan, and yet, in this particular it is
far ahead of us. We want better Theater here,
and hope some of our capitalists may be stimu-
lated to build it.
The hydraulic press., 1860-09-01

THE RIGHT PLAN.-The Sacramento News
gives larger summary from the interior papers
than any other of the centrally located dailies.
This will prove, eventually, a great element of
its popularity. Of late years this matter has
been too much neglected at Sacramento. If the
true greatness of California is to be published
abroad, information must be collated and CEN
tralized,-as may easily be done by paper pub
lished at the capital of the State. The Union
gained one-half its circulation by pursuing this
course. It's great ambition now, appears to be,
to give the news from the other direction-that
is, the Atlantic States. There are therefore, two
distinct fields of operation. Both abound in ma
terial, and both should be properly harvested.
