We Should Encourage the VAL

The Red Bluff Independent of the 9th
instant copies an article from this paper in
relation to railroad matters, and adds the
following:
Red Bluff and Fehama county stands in
ebout the same relation ia railroad matters
as Shasta, town and county.
The California and Oregon Railroad,
coming up on the East side of the river,
will not benefit US as much as the Vallejo
road. For nearly all of the farming land
IN this county lying on the East side of the
Sacramento, is within a few miles tf the
river bank. And again, to ship by this
route the articles would have to 90 by the
way of Marysy lie, Sacramento, Stockton,
and over that much dreaded Western Pa
cifc, to Oakland and San Francisco, which
is very much ike going around Cape Horn
to get to Aspinwall, the distance to San
Francisco being nearly three times as great
as that by the Vallejo route and therefore
will be at a much greater expense.
The California and. Oregon Company
Can offspring to the Central Pacific are
pushing their line through with much
vigor, and well they can afford to as they
have Government aid nearly sufficient to
build road, and will probable reach the
county in advance of the Vallejo road
But we have reliable infol nation that, not
withstanding every dollar that the last
named company uses comes out of the
stockholders pockets, they will not be far
behind their more favored rival
The Vallejo line cannot fail to he pay
ing one, for it passes through one of the
richest grain growing section Of our State,
and where there is an immense amount of
land now lying idle for the want of an out
let
I'VE are not in favor of counties granting
aid to railroad companies, but we do be-
lieve that the citizens of Colusa, Tehama
and Shasta counties should extend to the
Vallejo company all the aid possible
Pushing, as they are, boldly ahead with
outreceiying any aid from the Government,
they are certainly entitled to all the en-
courasement that the people can give.
Finish this road aud the tide Of an en-
igration now coming into this State, and
who must, owing to their limited means.
make their homes where ready market
for their produce can be had, will be turn
ed in this direction where every other in
ducement is already offered The tide of
emigration once turned this way will con-
tinue to pour in upon us until all Of the
unoccupied lands are under cultivation
Close upon this will follow capital Man
ufacturies will be built upon the banks of
creeks which course through the country at
intervals Of every few miles, with ample
water power to move machinery sufficient
to supply the demands of the State The
taxable property of the several counties
will be greatly increased, and these coun-
ties that are now but as blanks on the as
sessment roll Of the STATE, will be among
the richest
The California aud Oregon Company
deserves neither encouragement nor the
best wishes of our people, tor they are not
spending one doillr Of their own money.

COLUMBIA, November G.
The Howard school for colOred children In
this city hns just finished the first month OF its
present session, and may he considered fully
under way for It's annual round. This, II will be
remembered, is school established by the partly
dcfunct Frcelmcn's Bureau, ami now supported
by charities from The Nortll-Ncw York and I,os
ton principally. There are eight teachers. all
white, female, ana Northern. There are four
hundred and thirty pupils, all colored, 0f both
sexes, and OF ages varying apparently between
eight ana twenty y.onc. There are more girls
than boys, and more ot mixed cOlors than
wholly black. These are arranged into eight
schools or classes, which are taught by the eight
teachers, one TO eacr The discipline throughout
the establishment, which is under tho superin-
tendency OF Miss Augusta Haley, is rigid anu
carefully enforced. This Is an admirable feature
Of the school. Nothing could he better. From
q personal look over the establishment, ana hear
Ing their mode OF Instruction and OF examination
In the several classes, am enabled to express the
most favorable opinion OF the work of teaching
done here. 1t doubtless requires more than ordi-
nary patience to teach colored children; ami
this these teachers seem to have. saw AMI
heard classes rcciting in geography. arithmetic,
reading, spelling AMI writing from dictaton, and
the recitations were good one could cN.
pcct-rcfccting the highest credit upon the teach
crs, without any exception, and illustrating the
peculiar minds OF the pupils. To compare these
recitations TO those Of white children OF the same
ages would be unfair 10 the coiored race. Tho at
tainments OF these children are gratifying to all
true friends OF the racc aud nj the same timc
serve 10 establish the fact that the difference be-
tween the white and black races is as clearly
marked in thcir minds, respectively, as III their
physical organisms. This fact demonstrates the
necessity OF different modes OF training and dc-
veloping these differently constituted races. Gov
ernor Scott has tnkcn this ground In his messages;
and Mr.. Jillson, the State Superintendent of Edll-
cation, is known TO hold the same views. SO ap-
pear to do all thinking men.
The Broad River Bridge, in the hands OF Cap
tain Lee, the architect, Is approaching compile
tion. Seven OF the nine spans OF framework are
already up, and we are told to expect the work TO
be finished by the 1st Of December.

that might give you q readable account OF the
existing Fair at this place. My notes OF yesterday
gave you some idea Of things generally; to-day
must speak OF thlhgs particularly. -
At ten O'Clock the buglc sounded, the doors
opened, and In q little while hundreds were
crowdng the hall aud grounds. At eleven
O'Clock, music in the stock yard cnticed the
crowd thitherward, and directly was announced
grand display OF the horses; and such n display
have seldom seen. Pairs, for which $1,000 hat,
been refused were not uncommon. Single draft
and sad die horses too valuable for market; fleet
racers and trotters, the pride OF their owners,
and the lillipntian pony, were all led in q grand
round through the lots, and a hnndsomcr display
need not have been desired In the blue grass re-
sions Of Kentucky.
Music enllvcncd the scene, and presently the
announcement was made that tile contest for pre-.
mlums would occur In the hollow square In front
OF the Courthouse. a few moments elapsed and
out came span OF magnificent blacks, raised Ill
the district. These splendid animals were, or
would have been, an ornament to any "Rng.n
Then came the spans coutending against the
world for ,he cup. These were followed by the
single buggy horses, aud then the saddle horses
was close and often the committee were 'bother-

universally given cannot lie expected, but that
impart!alliy was shown, think all hands agreed.
During this exhibition, which consumed near
six hours, the immense ihrong were most orderly,
nnd nothing occurred to mar the pleasure OF every
one except the running away OF ono Of the single
buggy horses, by which accident Mr.. Griffin was
thrown from his buggy ana seriously Injured.
