He aden at een ee ee ee ae A ee ee lait He ~~ which is to assemble at Sacramento on the Wee Monday of next month, should take , mechanic arts. Under this grant Califor_ come derived shall not be used for the pur: Butte county, says the Chicd Cotrnat, is an ‘late of the rebel service, was killed near A Srate Unrverstry,—The Legistatare some measire, for the. establishment of a State” University. The interests of the tate demand such an institution, and up, 3 some plan is matured and the project inaugurated by the next Legislature, that body will fail in the performance of a sacred duty. In Article IX of the Constitution, ‘the State has taken upon itself solemn obligations to provide for the education uf those within ite territory, and in Section 4 of that Article, the State is bound to make sach disposition of the lands which have been or may ‘be granted by Congress for the adVaticewierit of educational interests, and it is made the duty of the Legisluture ‘‘to provide effectual means for the improvement and permanent security of the funds of said University.” Congress granted the State forty-eight thousand and eighty acres of land for the use of 4 seminary of learning in 1868. A part of this tand has been sold under the provisions of a law passed in 3858, and a large amount of interes¢ has accumulated, to which the seminary fund is enti» tled. There are no conditions attached to this grant of Congress beyond the require~ ment that it should. be devoted to the support of aseminary of learning. But, there is another grant which will be lost if the next Legislature fail to comply with the conditions.In 1862 Congress granted public land to each State, equal to 30,000 acres for each Senator and Representative, to aid in the establishment of colleges of agriculture and ‘nia ‘is entitled to ene hundred and fifty thous send acres of land. The conditions to be complied with, in order to secure this grant are, that the capital of the fund shall remain for ever undiminished, that any inchase or erection of buildings, that an annual report of progress shall be made to the Secretary of the Interior, and that any State shall provide at least one college before the expiration of five years from the date of the gtant. By the last condition it will be seen that unless the next Legislature provide for the establishment of such a college, the grant will be forfeited. The funds available for the purpose of es tablishing a State University and Agricultural College, should bej combined, and all the ends met in one institution. These funds should not be diverted from their legitimate purpose to the benefit of any private school as has been asked, but should be under the control of the State, for the benéfit of all, every creed. It may not be expedient at present to establish such a school asthe University of Virginia, but a seminary where childrea, who have finished the course of study offered in the Public Schools, may have a place where they can pursue their studies. The object of such an institution should be, to make practical business men and good citizens, qualified for the dutios of every day life, rather than to translate dead languages or calculate the period of comets. We hope that educational matters will not be so niuch neglected by the next Legislature as preceding ones, and that soine well devised plan ‘will be adopted for carrying out the ‘obligations of the State in reference to a State University.

Monroe M. Parsons of Missouri, Camargo, Mexico, in a fight between the liberals and imperialists. After the surrender of Kirby Smith he went te Mexico, with several of his men, and joined the forces of Juarez. Tue Dutch Flat Enquirer says on Thursday night & couple of young gentlemen of the mature age of fifteen got into a fight on Maio street, in which pistols were drawn by both, and one or two shots fired. It recom: menda they be sent te the Reform School. Howe. dre law of Jeff. Davis, who was whipped in Savannah by a FedSr adveftising columas are filled with. announcements of steamers loading for New Yerk and othér Northern cities. . The cargo of one bound to the former city, consisted of 1,340 bales of cotton six bales of domestics and fifty-nine sacks of ground nuts. The whole cargo is valued at $260,000— ‘The people of that city who have been shut out from the world for’so long’a time, rejoice greatly at the revival of trade. The wharves were crowded with people who assembled to see three elegant steamers start for New York in one day. The Re publican says: “It was altogether one of the most beautiful marine spectacles that we have'yet witnessed on our river. From the mastheads of each steamer floated their gay signal flags, while the proud folds of the Old Flag waved its protecting shadows in the clear sunlight high over the heads of the excited throngs of people that swarmed on the decks, waving handkerchiefs, throwing kisses and shaking hands to friends on shore asthe steamers rapidly receded from view in the bend of theriver. Such a sight was refreshing to our eyes, because we were torcibly reminded that peace had really once more. dawned upon our laud, and there steamers were the swift and sure messengere that flit from port to port, cleaving the broad waters’of the blue Atlantic with the prows of peaceful commerce, adding strong links to that chain of fraternity and prosperity which is slowly but firmly re-uniting our country in indissoluble bonds of friendship and good will. “So mote it be,” and we. welcome these steamers as the best harbingers of an enduring peace, whose fabric is built upon the rock of freedom, and should be cenented by “Justice, Wisdom and Moderation.” a THE WEATHER.—After more than ten days of stormy w ' ther, the sun arose yesterday morning all the brighter for having been so long hid behind the clouds. All hailed his appearance with joy, holding with The Preacher, that ‘Light is sweet,and & pleasant thing it is for the eye to behold the sun.” The morning air was cold and bracing but. the sky soon became overcast. The storms have been so heavy forten days that all the waste gates along the ditches and in the reservoirs had to be opéned in order to prevent accident.— When the water can be turned on miners will receive the full benefit of the great abundance of rain which has fullen. Hieh Waren.—Ou last Wednesday night Deer Creek had reached its highest peint, and a greater volume of water was running than at any time during last Winter. The tailings have been cleaned out to the depth of from four te five feet. Yesterday mormng the water had fallen several feet, and its volume continued to diminish during the day. Green Horn -creek, near Red Dog, was almost impassable on Wednesday night. Squirrel creek, in Penn Valley, which is entirely dry in summer, reached such a height that the Marysville stages bound up and down, were compelled to step all night for the waters to subside. The low country around Marysville must be overflowed for a considerable distance. CAPITAL AND MINex.—The renewed attention to our mines, on the part of movey ed men, still continues, It has been years since the same degree of interest was exhibs ited by them. A better understanding, says the Bee, appears to prevail between labor jand capital, and, if the miners will only adhere to their resolution ot calling a convention, the obstacles to their’ prosperity will be removed. A comparatively new feature in connection with this, is the plan adopted by companies of English capitalists of purchasing ured in the rough, wherever they may have been brought to the suface, and shipping them io bulk to Swansea, where they are melted and assayed. ee ee ae County Corrt.—The People vs Jaiton, Fined $100, and in default of payment sent to the county jail for fifty days. Summir Crry—We have news from Summit City to Wednesday morning, the snow was then about two feet and a half deep, Ithad been deeper, but during this week considerable rain had fallen, welting the snow: At Bowman's on Wednesday it mill has not commenced runnibg yet, but the owners were expecting to start as soon as a lot of quicksilver, which théy have at Webber's, could be gotten in te the mines.

The Sacramento stege left Colfax at half past 4 o'clock as the ears did not arrive until that time. urging the raising of Flax and Hemp for factory of Linseed Oil, an opening demand is at ote raised for Flax Seed ‘in great quantities. and we hope our Farniers will give immediate attention to this matter and raise seed to supply the demand and not compel the importation of it.” —— A SCHOOLMASTER struck “ile” the other day, but it was only juven-ile.i) ARRIVALS AT THE.
