STAGE LINE TO GEoRGErowN.-Mr. Orr

STAGE LINE TO GEoRGErowN.-Mr Orr
has put on line Of four horse stages be.
tween Auburn and Georgetown, E Dorado
county. The stages leave Auburn every
morning at o'clock, after the arrival Of the
cars from Sacramento; and the morning
stages from Georgetown connect with the
down train that connects with the San Frau
cisco boats. At present the mail service on
this stage route is trweeky, but the con-
tractor expects that the postal department
will soon authorize it to be carried daily
The Express matter from San Francisco and
Sacramento goes BY this line. The stages
cross the American river at Rattlespake, but
upon the completion of the new road at the
junction of the North and Middle Forks they
will adopt that route, which will be much
shorter.

A NEW AND GRAND EPOCH IN MEDI-
CINE!-Dr. Maggiel is the founder of new Med
ical system! The quantitarians, whose vast in
ternal doses enfeeble the stomach and paralyzc
the bowels, must give precedence to the man who
restores health and appetite, with from one to
two of his extraordinary Pills, and cures the most
virulent sores with a box or so of his wonderful
and all healing salve. These two great specifics
of the Doctor are fast superceding all the stereo
typed nostrums of the day. Extraordinary cures
by Maggiel's Pills and salve have opened the
eyes OF the public to the ineficency of the $50
called) remedies OF others, and upon which peo-
pie have so long blindly depended. Maggiels
Pills arc not of the class that are swallowed by
the dozen, and of which every box full taken
creates an absolute necessity for another
One or two of Maggiel's Pills suffices to place
the bowels in perfect order, tone the stomach,
create an appetite and render the spirits light
and buoyant There is no gripping, and no reac-
tion in the form of constipation. If the liver is
affected its functions are rcstored and if the ner
vous system is feeble, it is invigoraed. This
last quality makes the medicines very desirable
for the wants Of delicate females. Ulcerous and
eruptive diseases are literally extinguished by
the dscnfectant power of Maggiel's Salve. In
fact it is here announced that MAGGIET's BILIOUS
DYsPEPTIC AND DARRHEA PILLS cure where all
others fail. While for Burns, .Scalds Chilblains,
Cuts and all other abrasions of the skin MAG

DEATH OF A CALIFORNIA PIONEER. - We
are Informed by Mr.. Dana Perkins, that be
has received letter announcing the death
Of J. b. Cbarbonueau, who left this county
some weeks ago, with two companions, for
Montana Territory. The letter is from one
Of the party, who says Mr.. c., was taken
sick with mountain fever. on the Owybee,
and died after short illness.
Mr.. ChMbonneau was known to most OF
the pioneer citizens Of this region Of country,
being himself one Of the first adventurers
into the territory now known as Placer
county, upon the discovery Of gold; where
be has remained with little intermisson I'm
til bis recent departure for the new gold
field, Montana, which, strangely enough, was
the land Of bis birth, whittier be was return
ing iu the evening Of life, to spend the few
remaining days that be felt was 10 store for
him.
Mr.. Charbonneau was born in the western
wilds and grew up hunter, trapper. and
pioneer, among that class Of men Of which
Bridger, Beckwourlb, and other noted
trampers Of the woods were the representa-
tives. He was born in the country of the
Crow Indians-hs father being Canadian
Frencbman, and bis mother half breed OF
the Crow tribe. He had, however, better op.
portunities than most of the rough spirits,
who followed the calling of trapper, as when
young man be went to Europe and spent
sew veral years, where be learned 10 speak, as
we'll as write several languages. At the
breaking out Of the Mexican war be was on
the frontiers, and upon the organization Of
the Mormon battalion be was engaged as a
guide and came with them to California.
Subsequently upon the discovery of gold,
be, in company with Jim Beckwortb, came
upon the North Fork of the American river,
and for a time it is said were mining part
ners.
Our acquaintance with Charbonnean dates
back to so, when we found him a resident
Of this county, where be has continued to re-
side almost continuously since-having Civ
en- up frontier life. The reported discove
ries Of gold in Montana, and the rapid peo
pleiug of the Tersitory, excited the imsgina
tion of the old trapper, and be determined
to return to the scenes of bis youth
Though strong Of purpose, the weight o
years was too much for the hardships of the
trip undertaken, and be now sleeps alone by
the bright waters of The Owyhee.
Our information is very meager Of the
history of the deceased-a fact we much re-
gret, as he was Of class that for years lived
among stirring and eventful scenes.
The old man, on departing for Montana
gave us call, and said he was going to
leave California, probably for good, as be
was about returning to familiar scenes. We
felt then as if we met him for the last time
Mr.. Charbonneau was ofpleasant manners
intelligent, we'll read in the topics oflbe day
and was generally esteemed in the commu
nifty in which be lived, as good meaning
and inoffensive man.

~ The County Quartz Convention, last
Saturday, had fair attendance of delegates,
but from some underlined reasons the major
ity were opposed to adopting laws that they
would recommend to the quartz miners of
the county, and after organizing the Conven.
ton, by vote of 40 ayes to SO nays voted
an adjournment sine die. We think mum.
ber Of the delegates must have voted under
misapprehension Of the design for which
the Convention was called; but be that as it
may, they have defeated what seemed to be
a very desirable object, viz: the adoption of
a general set Of customs and rules for the
location and working of quartz claims
throughout the comfy, and providing safe
repository of the records, and their being
kept in proper and business like manner
Toe Convention could not have disturbed
previously acquired rights, and the rules
they might have agreed upon would have
been necessarily referred back to the miners
OF the several organized and unorgan lied
districts for their acceptance, in order to in
sure complete harmony of action-but tho
majority did not "see it," and our local
quartz laws will continue in vogue as before
some districts with good, some with crude
and unsatisfactory laws, and good deal of
territory for the present without any laws
at all.
We can say, however, without intending
disparag ement Of the laws Of other districts
in the county, that the laws of the Auburn
Quartz District, are such as are satisfactory
to claim owners, and liberal to prospectors
and others who desire to invest their labor
and capital in the business.

ALAS Poor SAMBo.-Anotber fatal blow
has been stricken at the rights of Sambo in
Nevada. Here he has been refused place
in the theatre and in the 4th Of July process
sion. There, he cannot sit on Jury. The

Last Tuesday, Sambo again appeared on
the jury. Judge Rising, in defiance of the
Radicals Civil Rights Bill, ETC., and not hav
ing the fear of Tbad Stevens or Fred Doug
lass before his eyes, openly and boldly de-
clared, that by the laws and Constitution Of
this State, Sambo could not sit on the jnry,
and discharged him. Sambo took his hat
and said: "Judge s'pose it's all right, but
l doesn't want any more Of dis humbugging
about civil rights of de nigger. l won't take
de Enterprise no more, for dey lie to de poor
niger, and we can't vote or set on de Jury"
Sambo says the Radicals don't amount to
sbucks."
