Report OF the Grand Jury.

The report of the Grand Jury Of the
March term of the Court Of Sessions Of
FL Dorado county, is hereto annexed.
The one indictment for riot, mentioned in
the report, is against about thirty-fve in
dividuals, resident at Coloma:
We the Grand Jury for the present term,
beg leave To submit the following as our tinal
report and ask to he discharged. In the DIS
charge of our duties as Grand Jurors, we have
diligently inquired into all the cases that have
come before us. Eighteen charges have been
brought to our notice, Of which we have dis
missed five aud found thirteen true bills Of IN
dictment, as follows: For murder, one; for
assault with intent tO commit murder, three
for assault with deadly weapon with intent
tn d. bodily injury, que; for perjury, one; for
petit larceny. two; for misdcmeanOr, four, and
riot one. We have made such examinations
Of the different county Offices as the limited
time allowed us would admit, and 1nd the du-
ties thereof faithfully and truly discharged &C.
cOrding to law. We find upon examination
that the in 1cbtedness of the county on the
first day of the present month amounted to
one hundred and three thousand eight hun
drcd aud sixty three dollars and ten cents,
aud that the cash IN the Treasurer's hands be-
longing TO the county was three thousand nine
hundred and forty-six dollars and seventy -One
cents. We have also, through q committee,
examined the County Hospital and find the
same to be kept in the most unexcepti0nable
manner. The building is comnOdlous and
clearly in oil its departments, and the pTovl-
sions are abundant and Of the best quality.
There arr at present five patients in the hospl-
tal, all Of whom express themselves entirely
satisfied with their treatment. We have per-
sonay examined the rooms at present used as
a County Jail and find the same very secure,
well kept, and the inmates well fed and cared
for generally. The Grand Jury cannot too ear
nestly call the attention Of the Hon. Board Of
Supervisors to the incapacitv vt the build
ing at present occupied AS Court House for
the accommodation of the Court OF Sessions.
There is no accommodation for the Grand Jul
~ or Trial AIRY; and We have held our SIT
tngs in this court Room to the almost entire
exclusion of the Court. We cannot, there.
fore too urgently recommend the Hon. Board
~ provide greater tIciIicS for the transaction

remodcling the present Court Rnnm nr by
providing others contiguous. We cannot
close our report without rendering our sincere
thanks to the District Attorney, >. W. Sander
son, for the ability, zeal and courtesy mani
Tested in the prosecution Of the business
brought before us, thereby greatly diminish
ing the labors of the Grand Jury. We also
return our thanks to the Sheriff and his depu
ties for their Kindness and attention during
our sittings. All Of which is most respectfully
submitted. ID. NJ. BOYD, Foreman.

SILvERLAND.-The San Andrcas Inde-
pendent, always comprehensive in its
finely expressed views on material pro.
gress, remarks that the immense wealth
Of Washoe is no longer vague dream to
captivate restless enthusiasts.
Silverland is rich in fact; capital turns TO-
ward it, and energetic labor is recOmpensed.
There is no telling where the silver-belt begins
in the west or ends toward the east. Each
succeeding week turns up new discoveries.
The adventures, ut latest accounts, had passed
beyond the Great Desert, aud found rich mines
on the Humboldt. Another summer will
doubtless carry the discoveries TO the head
waters Of that stream, and to the inhOspita.
bic mountains and deserts southwark, toward
the Colorado, where hunters aud travellers have
reported the existence of precious metals
guarded, as they generally are, by the demons,
Sterility and Des0lation-in large quantities.
Meanwhile civilization is preparing TO follow
close upon the heels Of adventure.

The BEAUTIFUL LIttIe sciences.


We notice an increased attention to
scientific research in this State, and would
allude to the formation Of associations for
instruction and amusement in natural
sciences. Such associations exist in San
Francisco, Marysvillc, Stockton, Colum-
bia and Nevada, and perhaps there arc
others; We know, however, that there
are many private cabinets and that much
examination is made in all parts of Cali
fornia; specimens of every character Of
formation peculiar to this delightful and
wonderful country, are daily found and
studied but the discoveries seem to be
too common, too every day like, to de-
serve elaborate public mention. Our
neighborhoods have arrived at that do.
gree Of permanenco which warrants the
formation Of societies for the promtion
Of investigation. and the cultivation Of
taste for the beautiful, varied and mystic
rious workmanship Of nature; and every
city and village should have its public
museum where each inhabitant could
have his name inscribed upon specimens
which, if not highly valuable in them
selves, would show that no matter what
may be his pursuit, his mind has been
somewhat elevated by contemplation and
research in . direction which divcrts him
from the habitual artifcialness Of life. In
Stockton there is large collection of Cal
ltornia insects. at is very small bust
ness to DO picking up bugs to put in a
show case" said young man who had
been trying to make US laugh at what he
denOminated unmanly bugology." We
so far differ from such view Of what we
may call the little beautiful sciences, that
the smallest of insects appears to US lar
ger in the scale of animate being than
does the two legged grovcler who lives
only to corrupt and retard his kind by
feeding his brain only from slop trough
his belly. Feed the mind through the
eye, the ear and the touch and there is
nothing in natures boundless fields too
small and mean to impart light to the
soul. Light is ever radiating from the
smallest centers in the grand domains
OF the neural universe, and the most en-.
lightened mind can gather from, not
dim, the radiance.
There are several gentlemen in Califor-
MIA who have fine collections and whose
private cabinets are almost as attractive
as some of the larger museums of Europe
and America; ofthese worthy naturalists
we can name but few-Robert White,
Of Placerville, DR.. Smell, of Sonora, and
William McMullen, of jackson, Amador
county. The latter is an Ornithologist
who has been collecting CaliforniA birds
lot seven or eight years He has sus
famed several Losses Of specimens but Ou
OF Hve or six hundred varieties, he hal
saved largo number and perhaps tn
best collection ever made in California.

LINCOLN GOES TO THE SHow.-An item
in Lincoln's progress to the White House
states that when he reached New York,
he hurried away from the Mayors recep-
ton and "visited Barnum's Museum"
Nothing in the show line is tolerated
where Mr.. Lincoln has lived, excepting
menageries and circuses. We have often
heard him repeat the clowns sayings after
a circus had arrived at and gone from
Springfield, and when others had alpost
forgotten what the clown had "got off "
in sport. Lincoln, like all Of the boys, was
"bOund to see the show" and to ride the
elephant. lie has now got the lion by the
tail and won't have any fun" therel

BRAvELY Observation-Disclosures Lincoln,
while in Philadelphia on his way to WASH
ingtOn, was so fearful Of assassination in
Baltimore that he disguised himself in
Scotch plaid and q long military cloak,
and left on a special train Of cars, and ar
rived in Washington unrecOgnized. We
may imagine that the military cloak was
adopted to give his suspicious an air Of
bravery. The ingenuity which suggested
this disguise to get Mr.. Lincoln into Wash
ington, may have to be more deliberately
employed upon a disguise with which Ia
get him out Of Washington.

THE FIRST RECoNsrRucrIoNi>T.-The
Red Bluff Ee"con is wrong in bupposirs
itself to be the first to recommend the re-
construction Of the Democratic party il
this State. The Calaveras Chroni-le
gouged and punched indiscriminateiy f"r
Lane and BrecEinridge, until the day
after the election. when it put in for re.
construction" without any consultation
with either Mr.. Breckenridge or Mr.
Douglas. This transformation being
very impctuous, it obtained so much Of

latitude and is now almost into 4 fricd.

The INDIANS, Nor TIE TExAxs.-The
public of this State have been maliciously
informed that the secession traitors" in
Texas had been wantOnly destroying the
property Of the Overland Mail Company.
The slanderers Of the Southern people
have used this with Characteristic activity
and illiberality. Now, letter from Fort
Smith, dated February 26th, says that
the Outrages on the Mail Company were
committed by Indians and that citizens
of Texas were pursuing to punish the
red devils.
