PARIS, Aug. 25,-The journal Oficiel
says the sum of all the news received at
the Ministry of the Interior is that the
Prussians have pressed their reconnaissance
into the Department Of Marne, and even
to the town of Chalons. The Project OF
the Department of Upper Marne announces

On Wednesday next the voters OF this dls-
,r;ct are 70 determine who shall be super
visor for the next three years. The interest
thus far shown does not appear equal TO the
;rnortanSe whici, should attach 10 the choos-
;nr AZ an officer that has so much power in
watching over. and protecting the interests
of tie community. To the Board OF Super
visors we look more than to any other eftlcer
for a proper administration Of county affairs.
Th-ouc cbout the State, those counties that are
heavily in debt, nearly If not all of them can
Justly attribute such condition in consider
able degree to the inefEcieney of Supersis-
ors. The salary or Fay of these officers be-
ing small has not generally secured the serv-
ices of such men. as would have been for the
best interest of their counties. Every tax
payer and person who feels al interest in
having an economical administration should
take lively interest in elect;ng man who
will be actuated by no other motive than
that of a strict and honest performance Of his
duty There are two candidates now before
the people of this district aspiring for their
votes. Thomas Leonard has been nominated
hy the Democrats and S. S. Bradford by the
Republicans. They are both generally
known to the voters of toe district. Which
Of them have shown the greatest interest in
the prosperity of the county? Admitting
that they ere equa! in qualification, is it not
fair then to judge Of their acts, to determine
which will probably be the best man as a
Supervisor fer tho people. 1t seems to US
that the man who pays taxes on his pronerty
within his own county evi3ces greater inte-
rest and is better citizen thar one that has
his property taken to another county for as
sessment. because the rates of taxation is less
in that other county. Both these candidates
have stock. Mr.. Leonard has always had his
assessed and paid taxes thereon in this ooun-
ty. Mr.. Bradford Ind his horses, mules and
oxen assessed in Stanislaus county and paid
taxes where the rate of taxation was much
less than here. We hold it to be the duty Of
every man to contribute to the support of the
Government that gives him protection. IF by
his acts man shows an unwilingness to do
so, is it fair to presume that as public officer
he will fully perform his duty requiring 9TH

for road from Sonora, to Garrote, by way Of
Wards Ferry on the Tuolumne River; and
would report the following result,
find the distance from Gap near Joseph
Majors ranch on top of hill above right OF
north bank Of Tuolumne river, to junction
with road from Goodnow's ranch to Garrote.
to be % $50 feet; being trife less than A
miles. find that grade can be had the
entire distance not to exceed IL feet to the

North side l.061 feet, overcome by IL feet
grade of 900 feet; Elevation on South side
LIS feet; length of grade as measured IL $50
feet, being an average OF about 10 feet to the
100 feet.
The character CT the digging is very favor
able, considering the natural roughness oil
the country. On the north side of the river
there appears to be much soil that can be
easily excavated, whilst not more than mile
can be said to be difficult. On the south side
of the river, the hill side along Deer Greek,
(which followed the entire length to Good
now's, is quite rocky, but appears loose and
broken. and by building wall on lower side
of grade, 40 as to Gil in about half the width
of the grade, will not in my opinion be found
difficult Of construction. Ifthought necessary
the grade could be run at feet to the l0(
feet. but would increase the length of the
road about $500 feet. think however. thai
l foot grade would be found satisfactory.
As to cost of building. should estimate
could be made at cost not to exceed S.. 900
Messrs. Berger and Hampton accompanied
me on the north side of river, and to them,
am under Many obligations, for assistance
rendered, and valuable suggestions as to loca
tion of road, and especially to Mr.. Berger, whe
furnished gratis bed and board for men and
beasts. and by whose family we were treated
with every kindness. On the south side o
the river we were assisted by Mr.. L. Good
now, to whom we are equally indebted fol
kindness of himself and lady, who boarded US
the three days we were on that side, refusing
any remuneration.
would also report the distance from gar
near Majors on north side of river to Foot's
Hotel in Garrote by measurement to be

ed by about half milo at very slight cost
improving the grade from Deer Flat to Gar

dorssd by q generous community. Our sim

efforts of the people who fought fire like sala-

presence of the people every where to extin.

fire was confined to the Chinese portion of the
town, which was entirely destroyed. The
following is a rough estimate of the princi-
pal losses:

Altogether perhaps the losses will foot up at
least S25 900 dollars no insurance.
Where every ore worked till they were
thoroughly exhausted, it would be invidious
to mention the names of those who worked
hardest; but am requested by number Of
citizens, to express their thanks to E. A.
Rodgers, of Sonora, and r. P Chase, of Coul-
tervile. for their exertions in either packing
away goods or fighting FIRE, these gentlemen,
though only temporary visitors, were among
the foremost in all work. The colored men
of the town worked we'll though having no
interest. 1t is reported that one
Chinese woman was burned to death. The
fire commenced about 2 o'clock, p. NJ, and
was occcsioned by Chinese woman beatty
ing her face with lotion, which caught fire
from candle, and then spread to the lining.

you an item for the benefit of your Hook and

Probably never before in the whole history Of
medicine, has anything won widely and so deeply
upon the confidence of mankind, as this excellent
remedy for pulmonary complaints. Through long
series OF years, and among most of the races
men 1t has risen higher and higher III their estima
tion, as it has become better known. Its uniform
character and power TO cure the various Affections
OF the lungs and throat have made it knowE as re.
liable protector against them. While adapted TO
mil Ter forms of disease and to young children, it is
at the ssne time the most cfcctual remedy that can
be given for mcpent consumption, and the dan.
FerOus affections CT the throat and lungs AS pro-
vision against sudden attacks of CroHD, il should
be kept on hand in every family and indeed as all
are sometmes subject TO colds and coughs ali
should be provided with this antidote for them
Although settled CONSUMPTION is thought in.
curabe, still great numbers of cases where the dis
case seemed settled, have been completely cured,
and the patient restored to sound health by the

over the disorders Of the Lungs and Throat that
the most obstinate OF them yield to it. When MOTH
ing else could reach them, under the Cher3y Pee
torat they subside and disappear.
Singers aud P,sjfic Speakers find great pro-
lection from it.
Asthma is always relieved and oftcn wholly
cured by it.
bronchitis is generally cured by taxing tho

advice of friends who believed or pretended
TO believe that further delay might damage
his prospects for nomination. Ii this be
true, land believe it is.) then the only diff
ference between him and me in this matter of
taxes, is this; he settled TO get the nomina-
ton, did not; in other words he thought il
policy to settle in view Ct the situation.
The communication signed La P'umne /
will dispose Of by saying briefly, that it is
not true that drove my stock out OF this
county for the purpose of assessment. My
stock as usual Was turned out in the fall and
driven up in the Spring. did not hunt the
Assessor Of Stan:slaus County to have him as
sess il but he hunted me and forced an assess
ment as / can prove by a respectable citizen
of Sonora, who was present at the time. For
five years have driven my stock below TO
ranch as has been customary with owners OF
teams in this county. but the present year is
the only one in which have been assessed
therefor out of this county. These facts /
have reason to believe were we'll known to
iny political friend when he penned his COM
munication and would say to him, that he
would do better to come out openly and work
for the candidate whom he desires for his sown
purposes to have elected.
