Mountain Expresses.

Post offices are not very numerous amongst us,
but readers abound in every mining camp and
precinct of the county. In fact, there is not
more liberal class of newspaper patrons in any
portion of the State than here. Nearly every in
telligent man takes from two to five copies of
California weeklies and dailies. In order to ac-
commodate them with the news, the private ex-
press system is being generally adopted. We
have, for instance, along the main route between
North San Juan and Columbia Hill, including
a populous neighborhood on Shady Creek and
Little Grass Valley-both requiring considera-
bly, detour to be made in different directions-an
efficient daily express rider in the person of Mr..
A. L. Smith, who delivers papers, letters and
miscellaneous packages at the door of his pat
rons, with even more promptitude than is done
by Uncle Sans coaches at the different post
offices. Mr.. E. T. Jordan supplies, in the same
manner, all that section of country lying between
San Juan and French Corral.
Without the transporting facilities furnished
by these separate gentlemen, it would be difficult
to receive and retain list of subscribers between
the points of mail delivery here named. With
them, there is every inducement for reading
people to support their home paper, at least; for
we hold to the principle, that ii should first be
provided for, after which, every one who desires
can go abroad to patronise such paper or papers
as his inclinations or means will permit
We invite an increase of subscribers, IN the
towns and along the road. The gentlemen above
named, who are punctual in the discharge of all
their duties, will take pleasure in receiving
and delivering the PRESS anywhere within the
limits of their prescribed routes.

A NOBEL OFFICER AND HONEST MAN-Col
Lander, Superintendent of the Wagon Road
Survey, il will be remembered, returned
some $40, 900 to Government which had been
appropriated forthe above service and placed
at his disposal Many people thought it a
strange proceeding on the part of Govern
ment officer, and we are tempted to think it
was for that reason the California delega-
ton asked him to resign. But the Colonel
didn't do it, and is now using every effort
in his power to facilitate the incoming i'm
migration. Every person who crossed the
plains this season, speak in the highest
terms Of him, both as man and officer. Fish
er's company found him at Rabbit Hole
springs, in the Carson Valley country, where
he had sawed lumber and built pools to catch
the water from the warm springs, where it
could cool for the use of emgrants and cat
tie. The Colonel was always found with his
working garb on, and boasted that he could
do as much hard labor as any man under
him. Several of the new comers tell US that
his advice to the emigrants was to come to
the north-that it was the place for their
families. We can readily imagine that the
Colonel is capable of giving such good ad
vice, and we hope no further effort will be
made by the California delegation in Con-
gress to have the man removed, who by ev-
cry means in his power is striving to benefit
Northern California, the section which at
election time they all SO dearly love. We
are for Lander, now and foreyer.-Trinity

FROM AN "OyERsEER."-We have received a
communication postmarked "Sweetland" and
signed "Overseer," which is probably designed
an answer to our article of last week, noticing
the dilapidated condition of certain parts of the
road between this point and Timbuctoo. The
author indulges in illusions to other Overseers,
which, to say the least in very bad taste, and
for that reason we refrain from giving his article
publication. He says, by way of justification to
his shortcomings public officer, that che
has aboat Ave anda half miles of road to keep in
repair, and only six hundred dollars to do it
WITH Now if this is fact-if "Overscer" has
collected all the money and applied all the avail
able labor under the law, to an Improvement of
the roads in his district-he has done all that
could be required of him, and is amenable to no
censure; but it does look singular to find the
roads in such an excellent state of repair on
both sides of him, while his are broken, full of
boulders, chuck-holes, pools of water, and the
bridges in some instances torn to pieces and dan
gerous to cross.
In concluding, "Overseer" says; "I have no
money to pay for newspaper puffs 1 ask none,
expect none. All l ask is flor you'll to look at
both sides with an impartial eye"
This is fling at us. In answer to it, we would
merely suggest, that if "Overseer" is the man
we think he is, he shall have the benefit of all
such "puffs" as this for nothing, if he will be
good enough to square a small book account
which we have against him for eight dollars, or
such a matter.

THE NEW DAILY.-For some time past it has
been matter of public notoriety, that daily
paper was to be established at Nevada Time is
full, and the fedgling, hight "THE MORNING
TRANSCRIPT" has been received (''Fledgling"
is here used in offensive sense more than the
term callow would be, applied to brood of doves
but, on the contrary, is deemed artistic and poet-
eal.) Well, the Transcript is edited by General
James Allen, our whilom predecessor, fellow
townsman, messmate, and forever-God so dis
pose it friend, in the bonds of true brotherly
affection. In addition to what we have hereto
fore said of the man and his abilities, we might
briefly add, in such language as the General
would perhaps himself use, were he speaking of
some one equally meritorious-that he is pro-
found scholar, graceful and graphic writer,
with thirty or forty years experience in his pro-
fession, and an urbane gentleman, with heart
as big. open and deep the crater of the Eureka
dggings, and as rich in generous wealth, when
you get down to its exhaustless treasures.
The publishers of the Transcript are all prac-
teal and deserving men. Nat. Brown has the
reputation of being one of the most accomplish
eu business agents III the state. Ills c0-laD0rerS
In the printing Office, Messrs. Shelton and Cas-
mayou, are finely qualified from inclination and
education, to give him hearty support; and we
feel well satisfied that if the concern does not
increase, expand, multiply, replenish and pros
per, it will be from want of public appreciation,
and not on account of any deficiency either in its
editorial or business departments.
The Transcript will be published every morn
Ing, Sundays excepted, for $S year, or twenty
five cents week. It's a small daily, containing
five columns on page, in BREWER and nonpareil
type, entirely new, and presents decidedly
handsome appearance. The number before us
is full of spirited reading matter, after the Gen
erals usual happy style, and commends itself to
liberal patronage. Success go with it and-it's.
