The Henness Turnpike "A GrOtvi at
the Supervisors.
NoRTH BLooMrIEID, Eeb. l0l lS62.

NORTH BLOOMFIELD, Feb. l0j 1862.
EDIToR DEMocRAr There has been cOnsid-
erable talk among our citizens relative to the
proposed action OF the Board Of Supervisors, IN
appropriating the road tax collected in this dis
trict towards the construction Of the Henness
Turnpike road. It has also been rumored that
this action has been already accomplished,
which II true, is an outrage and an assumption
Of power which the people of this district will
not soon forget. This proposed turnpike road
in its present location, can not possibly be of
any benefit to the district, but to the contrary
an absolute injury, as it will be mile or more
from our centre Of business, and the intervening
space being so precipitous as to make 1t almost
Inaccessible. Those who have examined the
topography of the country between this place
and Nevada City are surprised beyond measure
that a company of sane men could be found IN
this progressive age who are willing to expend
thousands Of dollars in an enterprise which in
very few years at farthest must In the nature
of things be almost valueless. There are stock
holders in said company who areno doubt actu-
ated bV seIf-interest in so strenuOusly insisting
uuon lis present location, and for them allow
anee mast be made, but the majority are evil
IDENTIFY not actuated by the same motive, and
must have concuTed in consequence of their
ignorance of the facts which 1t is the object Of
this communication to disclose II is not the
writer's intention to find fault or dictate the
course of policy which said company should
pursue, for they have the undoubted right to
build roads where they please, but 1t should be
done with their own hard earnings, nor should
they expect the earnings of others to be appro-
priated for their individual benefit. There is
but one practical route between this place and
Nevada City for a turnpike road, and the con-
struction OF a road upon this route will most
positiyely command the travel, and II is also
equally certain that this object will eventaally
be consumated. The route referred 70 leads
down Humbug Canon and strikes the South
Yuba river at point about twOniles above the
Illinois Bar bridge and thence across the ridge
by natural outlet or opening until the summit
is gained, being mile more or less above Blue
Tent. The grade Is very easy while che forfna-
ron of the country is highly favorable for the
construction of a road, much cheaper than
either of the roads hitherto built besides lessen
ing the distance two miles, which is also very
material consideration. This is the only route
upon which a road can be built of a permanent
and paying character, for II will insure the
travel of heavy teams, and will mos: certainly
become the main thoroughfare Of travel across
the mountains. The writer has no axe to grind,
and is actuated solely by desire that the mon
ey expended upon an enterprise of this chal ac-
ter may be conducive of the greatest good, and
without the possibility Of an improvement,
Yours, &C., CHESTER.

FROM ARIz0NA.-A correspondent of the
Alta, residing at Colorado City, writes un-
der date Of Jan. 9th.
Oar desert country has been the sOOne of the
largest food within the knowledge Of the oldest
Inhabitants. On the 22d the Colorado and .Gila
rivers commenced rising simultaneously. The
greater'b0dy of water coming from the Cobra
do causef the Gila to back and overflow the
whole country. Before word could be senbto
the Rort, the water was four feet high, and ris-
ing rapidly.
Major Rigg immediately detailed twenty men
to render assistance to the sufferers. They
crossed the Colorado in a scOw but before they
could reach the scene ofdestruction, Mr.. Hoop
er's fine adobe warehouse, one hundred and
forty feet long, was entirely destroyed, together
with all the fine buildings belonging to the Col
oradO Navigation Company. Capt. George A.
Johnson's elegant dwelling was nearly destroy

EruptlOn of Mount vesuvIus.

We clip the following from the London
Weekly dispatch, of Dec. 18th.
A dispatch from Naples, dated Monday the
9th, says: At 3 p. M, yesterday, an eruption of
Vesuvius took place near Tore del Greco.
This eruption was of a more threatening char
acter than any that has taken place for a long
period. The Inhabitants are taking TO- fight.
A telegram in the Times of the same
date says The eruption Of Mount XesuEius,iS
increasing in intensity. The population of
Tore del Greco have feds nearly all the hous-
es are damaged. The stream Of Lava is rs
palms in depth, and three quarters Of a mile
broad.
Another dispatch is dated Wednesday:-The
eruption Of Mount Vesuvius- continues with vi
olence, and ii is impossible to foresse the dis
asters whiah it may cause. Six, thousand in
habitants of the districts, near which the erup-
tion has,brOkcn out are now fleeing from their
homes.
NAPLES, Dec. IL.
The villAga of Torre del Greco, is in irninent
danger Of being destroyed by the burning lava.
Shocks of earthquake continue to be felt and
chasms have opened in the earth, forming per-
feet gulfs. The houses are falling in Tore del
Greco and all communication between the
places in the vicinity of the Mountain is- inter-
rupted. In the Bay of Naples the sea4lfas re-
reded to distance of 6O'metres.

Road rTatters-Henness TurnpIIxe.

We give place in another column, to a
communication from North Bloomfield, rel
aiive to report that the County Supervisors
have appropriated the road tax OF The upper
part of the county towards the construction
of the Henness Turnpike. For the satsfac-
ton of the writer, and other indignant
citizens of Bloomfield, we viii inform them
that the Supervisors have never appropri-
ared dollar to be expended on The Henness
Turnpike, and do not purpose to. They have
appropriated $3.50 from the road tax of the
districts to improve the county road between
the Jnnction House and Eureka, and we
think ID was as jndiciOus an appropriation
as was ever made for county road. 1t Is
on the main road leading diagonally through
the county. from Bear river to Eureka, and
the gorst, part Of the route between Sacra-
rnento and Virginia City. 1t Is one of those
roads which every one Is interested Ia having
kept in repair, bat as there are few people
living directly on it, II 10 almost entirely
neglected by the Road OveIseers. The
Turnpike company have already expended
sl,lOO 10 improving the road. although IL
does not belong. to them, and it is no more
than just that. The county should do some
thing towards keeping it 10 repair. 1t is
probable q better and nearer route for
poad from Nevada to Eureka might be
located; but in the present condition Of the
county roads and the road fund, 1t seut Of
the question for, the county to think of

CANADA.-The Buffalo Commercial Adver-

on the part Of the press of England, has induc-
ed the owners Of vessels to send for such of
their craft as are now in Winter quarters on
the Canadian side. Several are expected very
soon' and one, the schooner Plover, has alrea-
dy arrived in port. The hostile attitude of the
Canadian press and people toward us, has
doubtless much to do with the stampede of
American vessels. Our neighbors over the
line seem demented. Can they doubt for
moment that war between the United States
ana England would bring swia'ruh.upon themi

Fugitive Slaves,

The figures OF the las, census revea
the curious fact that the number Of .lsve
who escaped from their masters in 1S6(
is not only much less in proportion than
in 1850, but is greatly reduced numeri
cally. Thus the number Of fugitiSes in
1850 was l0ll, being l.30 Of one per
cent, Of the whole number while in 1s6C
only sos escaped, being l.50 of one pei
cent. In both eases, i. is not pretended

escaped from their masters came into the

therefore, how utterly groundless is the
pretense, once made so much Of, that the
insecurity Of slave property caused the

ton had been true, the leaders Of the re-
