AID FOR VOLUNTEERS. Butte county has
already sent forward, in three divisions, under
Willis, Mclaughlin and Campbell about so
volunteers and will have more to take the
field in few days We do not ascribe to the
people of this county auy more patriotism
than is possessed by other counties in the State,
but we cannot help expressing our pride at
the readiness manifested BY our citizens in res
ponding to the calls for aid to deiray the ex-
penses of volunteers to the place of rendez-
v0us Heretofore, and we have no reason to
doubt that it will be the same iu the future,
only a few hours were required, and that with
out any concert OF action, TO raise an ample
amount of funds for all immediate wants
While other counties, towns and cities have
heen calling upon her citizens through the
press for aid, old Butte has quietly organized
and sent forward her men, apparently without
a visible effort, and with promptness which
demonstrate that she means business. Taking
into consideration the relative amount of pop.
ulation, and the location of our county, COM
pared with others, we believe we are not do
ing injustice by claiming to stand second to
none in the State in practical patriotism and
loyalty, and in furnishing material aid to the
Government.

anxious that your Administration should, in
this time of national peril, have the unquali

the friends of the Government and recogniz-

without partizan prejudice or personal feeling,
with the deepest soliciiude for the general

The above hastily made up synopsis OF the
official vote is all we are able to give to-day,
owing to the lateness of the hour when the
Board Of Supervisors finished canvassing the
votes.
II will be seen that the vote for Sheriff is
very close between Mr.. Middleton, Breckin-
ridge candidate, and Mr.. Johnson, Republican,
the former being only four votes ahead We
believe it the intention Of MIR. Johnson to con-
test the election. Mr. Berry is elected Dis
trict Attorney, and Mr.. Printy, to the
Assembly, both Union Democrats.
With the exception of the above named
officers, the whole Republican ticket is elected.

PUBLIC WORKS.

again invite your attention to our
Public Works. During the past year
the expenses of that department have
considerably exceeded the receipts. =
This, it is said is mainly owing to the
extraordinary foods of April, which
caused much damage to portion OF ths
works. The fact that for the last five
years the result has been the same, has
induced the opinion that they will con7
.tinue permanent tax SO long as they
are controlled by the State and feel.
ing prevails to considerable extent that
the entire interest of the State in them
should be disposed of. There are grave
considerations connected with. this subs
ject, which will, doubtless, receive your
careful attention. That the people Of
the State will demand the sale of these
works, when they become satisfied they
cannot be made self-sustaining, | think
admits of little doubt.
| am not insersible to the great ad
vantages these works have been to the
State, in developing its resources, and
increasing its wealth. They have ere

cost. But the counties not lying upon
these works, and which receive but little,
if any, advantages from them, object to
taxes to keep them in repair for the BEN
eft of others. They have built their
own railroads and means Of commuuica
ton without the aid of the State, and
sustain them at their own cost, no mat
ter how expensive they may be, and
they contend that it is just as fair and
proper for the rest of the State to be
taxed to pay the expenses of keeping
their railroads in repair, as it is to com
pei them to pay taxes to keep up the
canals. The active carrying competl-
tion of the railroads, it is said, not only
diminishes the business On the canals,
but will in all time to come prevent them
from transacting enough business to make
them self-sustalning. The following ia
Bile, compiled from the Report of the
Board of Public Works, is pertinent to
this view Of the case:
