Henry Everett has been en~paged for some time in the preparation of a road law for this~ county, and a draft of the law has been sent to the Board of Supervisors, with _.the request that they suggest any amendments which they may deem” The bill proposes to make the Supervisors Road Commissioners in their respective districts, and for the performance of their duties--as* Road Commissioners they are required to give a bond of $1,000 each. In October, 1873, and every two years thereafter, the Commissioners. are re= quired -to lay off the roads in sections, and distinctly specify what they shall _the highest number of votes in each ~ ‘of road poll taxes, and he is required ——*Manufacturing Interests of Califordeem necessary for the improvement . and keeping in good repair.of each séction. These specifications are to “be approved by the Board-of Super‘Visors and the contracts let; and ‘every contractor is required by law to give bonds in double the amount uf his contract, and all such bonds must be approved by the Board ,of Supervisors, The Constable having township is made. ex-officio collector to give a bond for the performance of his duty, the amount.of the bond “tobe fixed by the Board of Supervisors, By the provisions of the proposed law those who desire may work their poll taxes out upon the roads under the direction of the contractor. The bill is very.carefully drawn to remedy the defects of the old law and give greater surety that the work of contractors will be faithfully performed. It provides that all orders must be allowed and drawn by the Board of Supervisors, and places the responsibility for good roads in each district upon the Supervisor of such district, resting the whole responsibility of road management finally upon the Board of Supervisors. 'The pay of the three Sppervisors for this service will be about one-half that of the Read Commissioner un‘Ger the present law, and the expenditures. will be managed with greatereconomy. We think the proposed bill ought to become a law. The Manufactures of California. We have received an essay on nia," by W. G. Morris and H. C. Bennett. The pamphlet is a compilation from the Federal census, and it must be. remembered that no producers are reported as manufac’ turers -where the yield is less than $500-per annum. This pamphlet is very interesting, and, while we do wot agree with its conclusions as to the causes which have retarded manufactures in this State, we find: much of interest in ‘the statistical tables given inthe pamphlet. Among the main items cf informaton we read that the State has 6,515 manufacturing eetablishments, in which 86,626 men, 1,253 women and 830 boys are employed. The capital invested is, in round numbers, $77,000,000; the wages annually paid, 20,000,000; the. cost of materials, $38,000,000, and the value of the manufactured articles, $89,000,000, From these figures we deduce $32,000,000 for the annual rent, interest and profit on investments in manufacturing industry. * . In Nevada county there are 219 establishments. classed as manufacturies which produce over $500 per anmum. These employ 1,631 men, 3 women and 6 boys._.The capital invested is $2,795,815; wages paid, $863,822; cost of materials, $842,ps4: value of products; $3;056,991.

Transcript: I told you last week of the great excitement prevailing. about stocks, and this week, though itscourse is not fully run, has far outstripped his predecessor. Every day about the time for the reports to appear in the brokers’ windows, the sidewatks are thronged by an anxious excited-mass of humanity, eagerly waiting to note the fluctuations of the market. Bets are freely offered and taken, and when at last the magdespair is plainly written on the fore the advent of railroads. dilings lively tox paki It seems a couple of ‘fait but frail Ophelias hired a. teant and went out to take the air, and in returning from Gold Hill the horses took fright. and dashed down through the main street. of the Hill.

HH. Flagg, a former resident ofNevada City, and up to the morning afore & prominent and reputed . wealthy banker of Gold Hill, like all men of wealth, dealt largely in mining stocks; but having ‘‘sold short,”’ the sndden rise upset him, and on of Flagg’s customers were poor men, and as the news of the failure spread a great crowd collected, in front of the sullen iron doors of the bank,and loud und deep were the curses heaped cn-Flagg by the very men, who a few hours before esteemed him the most honorable man in the country. It was painful to see the poor fellows who lost thir hard earnings, unable to detect-a single ray of ‘hope in the surroundings, and many sought to drown their sorrows in the cup, and a general drunk resulted. Rumor asserts that Flagg will yet pay every cent, but itis a matter of doubt, as gregate a quarter of a million. . A great many are sufferers, while a number lay claim to losing thousands who never possessed enough to get a square meal. These fellows indulged in a deal of ‘‘chin musie’’ over their fallen fortunes, and received from the crowd all they ‘‘had to give, a tear.’’ One fellow was unable to pay Monday the bank suspended. Most . . his liabilities at present probably ag. , €arson’s coach, were all standing in front of their respective offices teady to start, when suddenly a terrible rattling was heard, and a_ horse. attached to a light wagon came down. the sidewalk, running at_ full speed _ and raising an infernal din. Every stage coach started on the run, some were upset,some ran up cross streets, some into awning posts, and ‘the clatter of wheels, the falling of balconies, the shouts of excited men, all made up a scene never.to be forgotten by any of its inhabitants. “When the “trouble” began, Tom Canfield, then a driver for McCue, was sitting composedly on his box, his eoat buttoned_up, his Peruvian hat on three hairs, his cigar singeing his tight eyebrow, his load, eleven: in the hold and four on deck, and his team, six:spanking spirited bays.— Startled by the—noise, away they went, down C street and out on-the grade, Tom meanwhile doing his leyel best to check their mad career, which he ‘succeeded in doing, after ‘they had placed six miles between themselves and the horrors of Virginia City. When Tom-had got his team down to a walk, as soon as he could get breath to speak, he turned to an old gent whose wits had been almost scared out of him, and said, “What's: up.’’ Old gent replied, “Why, I-I-I thought the team was running away.’’. ‘‘Running away,’’ says Tom, ‘‘No.sir; you see I am behind this morning, must. make Nevada on time. Might as well pull up lost time here as any other place. Keep your seat and don’t scare the cattle.” But it was ‘a fearful ride. Tom would not fancy it now in his old age. his landlady—the ‘‘busted bapk had floored. him.’’ An examination of the books showed he was owner of five shares of ‘‘Succor,"’ which was worth in the market four dollars per share. These fellows serve to keep the agitation and to further add tothe excitement. A DASTARDLY--OUTRAGE Was perpetrated by a fiend inhuman shape, upon the/person of a little girl aged 6 years, the daughter of Mr. Shulock of Gold Hill. The wretch by some means inveigled the child into the railroad tunnel in open day, and in plain sight of the town. perpetrated his hellish design. . He was quickly followed and arrested, and were the crowd who surrounded the calabcose only certain that he was the man, his worthless—neck would have paid the forfeit. There is‘now no doubt as to his identity, city. Rumor says ‘Committee 601” will take Mr. Williams’ case in hand and do him full justice. MINING ACCIDENT. A miner, a French Canadian, called ‘‘Ben,”’” was killed yesterday in’ the incline of the Buckeye mine at Silver City. He was ascending on the back end of a loaded car, when the rope parted, the car flew down the steep grade, and striking the bottom, the poor fellow was instantly killed. A PRIZE WALTZ ‘ For two hundred dollars a side came nessed by a Jarge number of ladies and gentlemen. ‘The contestants were Wm. Daniels and Prof. Dan Lyons. The.dancing was excellent on both sides. Te Mr. Lyons, however, the judges awarded the prize. After the waltz a regular ball was had, and dancing was kept . up till daylight, A WALKING MATCH Came off dt Gold Hill afew days ago.

I should have called him . ‘the sleeping and he is in the county jailin this} off at the Opera House, and was witHoodlum of Happy . en ate Scape THE WEATHER. Common language is not adequate to the task of doing justice to the subject, and as I have a poetry machine in the house, I have got a friend tu turn the crank, and we have ground out the following doggerel, which is not quite as bad as the weather: The clouds obscure the mountain-tops, ‘The mist hangs black above the valley; ‘Phe wind forever blows, nor steps, In bustling street or lonely alley; It speeds wiong, and with a sigh, It takes our hats upon its wings; In sport, as dainty dames pass by, It litte their hoops and OTHER THINGS; And still it storms bymight and day, And patters rain and pelts with snow, . As though old Pluvius meant to stay, With us forever in Washoe. The above may not be poetry equal to the ‘‘Dead in the Sierras,’’ but. it is more truthful. Farewell. ney eae A Los AnckLtes Bes Srory.—Here is a‘‘bee story” from the Los An. -geles Express: -The-other day was dark, cloudy and cold, ‘‘the very time for handling or moving bees,” said a friend of ours who had‘bees to move, and taking three hives with well-stocked swarms into the wagon his new ranch. About half way betweed the old and new, in crossing a ditch, two of the hives were thrown ever, and-one thrown out. Swarms of bees at Once pitched into tha driver and team. “After kicking and plunging furiously, one of the horses laid down. The driver, after a gallant effort to ‘master the situation, . fled, leaving the honey-~makers and the field and team. Subsequently a raiding party succeeded in releasing the horses, who were _st **seventeen thousand times’’ «ach, and ren. dared ‘init for ‘duty for some time to come, ; G poze 7 Aavertised Letters. _The following letters remain in the Post Office in this city, for the week ending Monday, February 12th, 1872.

In other countriés large standing armies aré maintained in timé of peace to prepare for war. In the United States every citizen is a soldier when his country needs his service, and grand armies may be called into existance inaday. But it requires some training in military affairs that a nucleus may he had for the organization in case of war. The Vallejo Recorder says, speaking of this subject: ‘The opponents of the militia consider the National Guard to be merely an association of men who are authorized to wear gaudy uniforms, to use handsome swords, elegant sabres, and costly rifles, and to make their appearance before’the admiring gaze of the public on the 22d of February and_ the Fourth of July —in brief, an expen, Sacramento, California, Feb. 9, 187 “Spur ct a OHN H.

Be this as it may, however, the. militia of tie Eastern States afforded valuable ass'stance to the Government during the rebellion, and in this State it has performed services that entitles it to the gratitude of the public. All of the arguments are in favor of the militia, although a great deal eastic writers, who have been very severe on those who have been guilty of “playing soldier." The idea of military instruction has been incorporated in many of our best schools, and since-the-late war the attention of the public has been directed to the necessity of educating -young men in a knowledge cf the rudiments of war, and there are many officers . in the Netional Guard who have proved their ability by actual service, In case of domestic or foreignwar the value of the militia is easily discovered, and it is the part of wisdom to be prepared for any emergency, orin the words of the Ferret to be, ‘‘Ready when wanted.’’ Such being the case, the State can afford to be liberal in its appropriations for the National Guard, and if those members of the Legislature who are doubtful about the propriety of supporting this “monstrous fraud,’’ as one Assemblyman terms it, could only see Capt, McDonald’s San Francisco Cadetson an exhibition drill, they would soon be convinced that the money of the Commonwealth . ¥ has not been thrown away.” ee.

Flagg, a former resident ofNevada City, and up to the morning afore & prominent and reputed . wealthy banker of Gold Hill, like all men of wealth, dealt largely in mining stocks; but having ‘‘sold short,”’ the sndden rise upset him, and on of Flagg’s customers were poor men, and as the news of the failure spread a great crowd collected, in front of the sullen iron doors of the bank,and loud und deep were the curses heaped cn-Flagg by the very men, who a few hours before esteemed him the most honorable man in the country. It was painful to see the poor fellows who lost thir hard earnings, unable to detect-a single ray of ‘hope in the surroundings, and many sought to drown their sorrows in the cup, and a general drunk resulted. Rumor asserts that Flagg will yet pay every cent, but itis a matter of doubt, as gregate a quarter of a million. . A great many are sufferers, while a number lay claim to losing thousands who never possessed enough to get a square meal. These fellows indulged in a deal of ‘‘chin musie’’ over their fallen fortunes, and received from the crowd all they ‘‘had to give, a tear.’’ One fellow was unable to pay Monday the bank suspended. Most . . his liabilities at present probably ag. , €arson’s coach, were all standing in front of their respective offices teady to start, when suddenly a terrible rattling was heard, and a_ horse. attached to a light wagon came down. the sidewalk, running at_ full speed _ and raising an infernal din. Every stage coach started on the run, some were upset,some ran up cross streets, some into awning posts, and ‘the clatter of wheels, the falling of balconies, the shouts of excited men, all made up a scene never.to be forgotten by any of its inhabitants. “When the “trouble” began, Tom Canfield, then a driver for McCue, was sitting composedly on his box, his eoat buttoned_up, his Peruvian hat on three hairs, his cigar singeing his tight eyebrow, his load, eleven: in the hold and four on deck, and his team, six:spanking spirited bays.— Startled by the—noise, away they went, down C street and out on-the grade, Tom meanwhile doing his leyel best to check their mad career, which he ‘succeeded in doing, after ‘they had placed six miles between themselves and the horrors of Virginia City. When Tom-had got his team down to a walk, as soon as he could get breath to speak, he turned to an old gent whose wits had been almost scared out of him, and said, “What's: up.’’ Old gent replied, “Why, I-I-I thought the team was running away.’’. ‘‘Running away,’’ says Tom, ‘‘No.sir; you see I am behind this morning, must. make Nevada on time. Might as well pull up lost time here as any other place. Keep your seat and don’t scare the cattle.” But it was ‘a fearful ride. Tom would not fancy it now in his old age. his landlady—the ‘‘busted bapk had floored. him.’’ An examination of the books showed he was owner of five shares of ‘‘Succor,"’ which was worth in the market four dollars per share. These fellows serve to keep the agitation and to further add tothe excitement. A DASTARDLY--OUTRAGE Was perpetrated by a fiend inhuman shape, upon the/person of a little girl aged 6 years, the daughter of Mr. Shulock of Gold Hill. The wretch by some means inveigled the child into the railroad tunnel in open day, and in plain sight of the town. perpetrated his hellish design. . He was quickly followed and arrested, and were the crowd who surrounded the calabcose only certain that he was the man, his worthless—neck would have paid the forfeit. There is‘now no doubt as to his identity, city. Rumor says ‘Committee 601” will take Mr. Williams’ case in hand and do him full justice. MINING ACCIDENT. A miner, a French Canadian, called ‘‘Ben,”’” was killed yesterday in’ the incline of the Buckeye mine at Silver City. He was ascending on the back end of a loaded car, when the rope parted, the car flew down the steep grade, and striking the bottom, the poor fellow was instantly killed. A PRIZE WALTZ ‘ For two hundred dollars a side came nessed by a Jarge number of ladies and gentlemen. ‘The contestants were Wm. Daniels and Prof. Dan Lyons. The.dancing was excellent on both sides.

Common language is not adequate to the task of doing justice to the subject, and as I have a poetry machine in the house, I have got a friend tu turn the crank, and we have ground out the following doggerel, which is not quite as bad as the weather: The clouds obscure the mountain-tops, ‘The mist hangs black above the valley; ‘Phe wind forever blows, nor steps, In bustling street or lonely alley; It speeds wiong, and with a sigh, It takes our hats upon its wings; In sport, as dainty dames pass by, It litte their hoops and OTHER THINGS; And still it storms bymight and day, And patters rain and pelts with snow, . As though old Pluvius meant to stay, With us forever in Washoe. The above may not be poetry equal to the ‘‘Dead in the Sierras,’’ but. it is more truthful. Farewell. ney eae A Los AnckLtes Bes Srory.—Here is a‘‘bee story” from the Los An. -geles Express: -The-other day was dark, cloudy and cold, ‘‘the very time for handling or moving bees,” said a friend of ours who had‘bees to move, and taking three hives with well-stocked swarms into the wagon his new ranch. About half way betweed the old and new, in crossing a ditch, two of the hives were thrown ever, and-one thrown out. Swarms of bees at Once pitched into tha driver and team. “After kicking and plunging furiously, one of the horses laid down. The driver, after a gallant effort to ‘master the situation, . fled, leaving the honey-~makers and the field and team. Subsequently a raiding party succeeded in releasing the horses, who were _st **seventeen thousand times’’ «ach, and ren. dared ‘init for ‘duty for some time to come, ; G poze 7 Aavertised Letters. _The following letters remain in the Post Office in this city, for the week ending Monday, February 12th, 1872.

In other countriés large standing armies aré maintained in timé of peace to prepare for war. In the United States every citizen is a soldier when his country needs his service, and grand armies may be called into existance inaday. But it requires some training in military affairs that a nucleus may he had for the organization in case of war. The Vallejo Recorder says, speaking of this subject: ‘The opponents of the militia consider the National Guard to be merely an association of men who are authorized to wear gaudy uniforms, to use handsome swords, elegant sabres, and costly rifles, and to make their appearance before’the admiring gaze of the public on the 22d of February and_ the Fourth of July —in brief, an expen, Sacramento, California, Feb. 9, 187 “Spur ct a OHN H.

Be this as it may, however, the. militia of tie Eastern States afforded valuable ass'stance to the Government during the rebellion, and in this State it has performed services that entitles it to the gratitude of the public. All of the arguments are in favor of the militia, although a great deal eastic writers, who have been very severe on those who have been guilty of “playing soldier." The idea of military instruction has been incorporated in many of our best schools, and since-the-late war the attention of the public has been directed to the necessity of educating -young men in a knowledge cf the rudiments of war, and there are many officers . in the Netional Guard who have proved their ability by actual service, In case of domestic or foreignwar the value of the militia is easily discovered, and it is the part of wisdom to be prepared for any emergency, orin the words of the Ferret to be, ‘‘Ready when wanted.’’ Such being the case, the State can afford to be liberal in its appropriations for the National Guard, and if those members of the Legislature who are doubtful about the propriety of supporting this “monstrous fraud,’’ as one Assemblyman terms it, could only see Capt, McDonald’s San Francisco Cadetson an exhibition drill, they would soon be convinced that the money of the Commonwealth . ¥ has not been thrown away.” ee.
