Chicago Company have exposed a body Of
ore that cannot be beaten anywhere at the

Sr.rE FalR.-On the 18th of September
the State Fair at Sacramento will be OPEN
What arrangements have been made to have
Shasta county represented there? None, we
reckon. Shall we be represented? Most
assuredly we will; and preparatory thereto
we osk that Mr.. John E. Dent. now residing
a, Sacramento. will take the trouble to have
, nlace set apart for the exhibition of miner.
ole from Shasta county. We have no doubt
h,, Mr Dent will do this, and also see t.
the nroper arrangement Of all specimens sent
him ro all of our citizens interested in the
develonmrnt of chr mines, we suggest that
this is nm opportunity that should be in
proyed and that it may be with the least
nossible Inconvenience to individuals, we
will forward all that may be brought to our
office. Bring US fair specimens, and give US
n full description of locality. &c. and we
will see that they are forwarded and properly
placed for exhibition. Thus. with one.
twentieth part of the trouble to others that it
will be to us, Shasta county will be able to
show n cabinet of minerals that will excel in
richness and beauty anything Of the kind
that can he gotten up from any other county
in the State.
We have written mach on the richness
and abundance Of our quartz mines. We
are now willing to take the laboring oar in
proving by this exhibition that what we have
written was short of the whole truth rather
than beyond it. Every miner is invited to
send us specimens, and We hope that the
Importance of doing so promptly will be seen
by all. Don't delay for day or a week, but
promptly bring or send them along, so that
all arrangements can be completed in time.

LEGIsLATURE-ExrRA SEssIoN.-When it
was first announced that the proposed
amendments to the Constitution had passed
both II ,uses of Congress. and had been sub
mitted by the President to the Governors of
the respective States, to be by them submit
ted to the Lsgislatures-(witht the qualifca-
ZION on the part-of Andrew that he was op-
posed to that sort of thing)-p}host every
journal in the State hasieHed to give an
opinion as to the propriety of our Governor
calling an extra session of the Legislature II
once Tor TIE porpose-and that aIone-of
ratifying the action of Congress.
Many journals were in favor of an imme-
diats call of the Legislature. We were
among that number. Many others. equally
as loyal as we claim to be, and as radical,
too. on the topics of the day. deemed 1t
prudent to wait-to wait until it was clearly
ascertained that California was needed. and
then call an extra session. The subject soon
died out. We propose to renew it, and ior
reason say that inasmuch as it is conceded
by every true Union man that the amend.
ments should be ratified. and asserted by
every bogus Union man and frantic Demo-
crat that they should not, at least hastily,
we are right in urging that session be
called Immediately. Let it go forth to the
world that California does np. stop to count
dollars and cents as an excuse for being dill
atory in daing what she knows is right and
proper she should do sooner or later. Strike
out later" and let it be done at orce. Let
ours lie the first State on the Pacific slope to
do this great aad good thing. Let us secure
