The two rivers mentioned are deep ‘channels, from each side of which high and precipitous ridges rise, which are intersected by deep cut canons and gorges. Nearly the whole section is well timbered. In the northern portion particularly, vast forests of pine, fir, spruce, &c., ‘are found. ‘The scenery is wild and pictaresque, and the ‘climate pure and healthy. The more elevated region is covered with « heavy bed of voléanio ashes, called by miners cement. On the lower portion of-the “Ridge this substance is not found. Hor thirty miles of the section a gravel deposit or ancient river chan__siel-has been found at different points, } and some of the richest mines of the State have beenopened. The chanziel has been traced for seventeen (miles, arid as yet Wut a little over two miles have been worked out, It is estimated there are over 200 square ‘miles of gravel, all of which will pay largely. The section is settled by intelligent. and industrious inhabitants, who have surrounded themselves with all the conveniences of ‘older countries. The finest school houses in the State have, within the past five years, been erected, and ‘good schools are the rule in every . , district. In point of wealth, both present and prospective, we believe “ithe Ridge is far abead of any ‘country of equal size-in the State. The extensive mining operations are carried on by means’ of water conducted by ‘canals from the mountains. There are three principal water companies ‘who have between four and five hun-dred miles of canals. We recently and obtained afew items, which we shall give to our readers in succeeding issues, Kdwards Grade. The Edwards grade on both, sides ‘of the Yuba, on the road leading to Lake Oity, is ina splendid condition. ‘There is scarcely a stone to ‘be found on it. The owners take good care that they are removed as soon as found, If contractors on county roads took -as much pains, and earned the money ‘paid them for work, there would be less complaint than now.

They know that. where five agricultural scientists could obtain employment, five thousand skill+ ful intelligent farmers are needed tomade a hurried visit to that locality, day in our own State. The friends of the so-called higher education should be willing to see the university filling the present need of technical training in agriculture and the arts, makiag practical workers as well as thinkers of its students, thus supplying the means of its ideal perfection. IMPORTANCE OF COMPETENT TEACHERS. The technical school in which we are most directly interested is that which gives us teachers. Without the right kind of teachers no reforins are possible. The one business which it should be the special concern of the State to maintain in honor, which should be kept free from political or sectarian influences, which should be entered into with zeal and consecrated ability, and never aga make-shift, in education. The educator, whether of the school or press, stands at the point of power, and holds the highest office in the social economy. The work of organizing the national education is now claiming the attention of scholars and patriots. Such an organization, in its higher and lower stages, will Le impartial in its bearings upon intellect and industry, impartial as to.sex, making a boy’s training preparatory to a man‘s work,and a girl's to a woman’s, wife's, mother’s work, and in both will recognize the intrinsic dignity of self-support. THE NATIONAL NORMAL SCHOOL. The graduate of the National School of Pedagoguery, or Normal School, will have the same relation ‘to the Goverment that the graduate of West Point or the Naval Academy has, and thus, step by step, the hithfeasion of teaching shall be exalted and ennubled. Vo I believe in this good time coming? Most assuredly Ido. The time has already come and that nation is the most civilized which,can most easily dispense with it. The reign of words, too, is almost over; dogmas, religious or political, no louger fetter the nations; thought is free as air. Literature : amy lending science, make the cir@ . years technical school, seems to me pre; . posterous,__We may have students: i flits in a few remote corners of our land, but the spirit of modern inqgai when war is no longer a necessity, . tian patriotism. THE OLD DOMINION. Little ‘more than two hundred s ago, Sir William Berkeley, Governor of Virginia, said **Thark God there: are no free schools. nor printing presses here, and I hope there will “be none for a handred year, for learning bas brought heresy and sects into. the world, and printing bas divalged these and other jibels.” The ghost of Sir William ry forbids that it shall be materialized. (With conscious pridethe farmers and laboring men of America are building a common wealth, whose . spirit shall be peace on earth and good will to man; their weapon, suffrage;. their Conservatism; education; whose objects are freedom, order and economy within our own boundaries, and an eternal brotherhood with those who are wider neighbors, Piper’s Opera House Company. Piper’s fall Dramatic Company, which has been playing a successful the past two weeks, will appear at the Theatre, in this city, on Wednesday evening next. The troupe is composed of twenty-five members, among which are artists of the highest reputation. Mr. Piper is making this visit as an experiment, to see if, when the‘railroad is completed, it will spay to bring dramatic companies to this county on his trips back and forth from the Bay to Virginia City. If the present visit proves that our people will patronize a good jcompany, splendid entertainments . will be afforded them oceasionally in the future. Mr. Piper has the reputation of, catering to the lovers of amusement on this coast, second to‘none. Most of the attractions on their way to San Francisco from the East, play an engagement at his Opera House, in Virginia City, and they will be brought here if -sufficient encouragement is given. The daily expenses of the present large company are very heavy, and a full house on Wednesday evening will not afford a very large profit to the manager. The play to begiven here will be ‘Uncle Tom’s.Cabin,’’ and it will be given entire, The members of the company have been selected from the principal Eastern theatres, and are all first class actors, Jean Clara Walters isan actress of great merit, and Miss Auna Firman has been a populer favorite for many years in Eastern cities. Her singing is said to be very fine. The prices of admission will be one dollar for reserved seats, and seventyfive cents forthe rear seats, below. The bills posted around town were printed below, and state that *fifty cents will be the price of rear seats. Our theatre is so small that such prices would not pay. We hope to see a crowded house on Wednesday evening next. The Record-Union of Thursday has the following notice of this excellent performance: “Piper's troupe made a grand hit last night. “Uncle Tom's Cabin” was played, and weil played.

It is stafour months at the rate of over 50 miles a day without showing fatigue, and are capuble of doing 150 miles in asingle day during the journey, if treated with care and quietly ridden the next. Some years ago, an Arab, only fourteen hands, oneinch high, was ridden in India 400 miles in five days for a bet, and its owner offered to repeat the feat after one day’s rest.

They know that. where five agricultural scientists could obtain employment, five thousand skill+ ful intelligent farmers are needed tomade a hurried visit to that locality, day in our own State. The friends of the so-called higher education should be willing to see the university filling the present need of technical training in agriculture and the arts, makiag practical workers as well as thinkers of its students, thus supplying the means of its ideal perfection. IMPORTANCE OF COMPETENT TEACHERS. The technical school in which we are most directly interested is that which gives us teachers. Without the right kind of teachers no reforins are possible. The one business which it should be the special concern of the State to maintain in honor, which should be kept free from political or sectarian influences, which should be entered into with zeal and consecrated ability, and never aga make-shift, in education. The educator, whether of the school or press, stands at the point of power, and holds the highest office in the social economy. The work of organizing the national education is now claiming the attention of scholars and patriots. Such an organization, in its higher and lower stages, will Le impartial in its bearings upon intellect and industry, impartial as to.sex, making a boy’s training preparatory to a man‘s work,and a girl's to a woman’s, wife's, mother’s work, and in both will recognize the intrinsic dignity of self-support. THE NATIONAL NORMAL SCHOOL. The graduate of the National School of Pedagoguery, or Normal School, will have the same relation ‘to the Goverment that the graduate of West Point or the Naval Academy has, and thus, step by step, the hithfeasion of teaching shall be exalted and ennubled. Vo I believe in this good time coming? Most assuredly Ido. The time has already come and that nation is the most civilized which,can most easily dispense with it. The reign of words, too, is almost over; dogmas, religious or political, no louger fetter the nations; thought is free as air.

THE OLD DOMINION. Little ‘more than two hundred s ago, Sir William Berkeley, Governor of Virginia, said **Thark God there: are no free schools. nor printing presses here, and I hope there will “be none for a handred year, for learning bas brought heresy and sects into. the world, and printing bas divalged these and other jibels.” The ghost of Sir William ry forbids that it shall be materialized. (With conscious pridethe farmers and laboring men of America are building a common wealth, whose . spirit shall be peace on earth and good will to man; their weapon, suffrage;. their Conservatism; education; whose objects are freedom, order and economy within our own boundaries, and an eternal brotherhood with those who are wider neighbors, Piper’s Opera House Company. Piper’s fall Dramatic Company, which has been playing a successful the past two weeks, will appear at the Theatre, in this city, on Wednesday evening next. The troupe is composed of twenty-five members, among which are artists of the highest reputation. Mr. Piper is making this visit as an experiment, to see if, when the‘railroad is completed, it will spay to bring dramatic companies to this county on his trips back and forth from the Bay to Virginia City. If the present visit proves that our people will patronize a good jcompany, splendid entertainments . will be afforded them oceasionally in the future. Mr. Piper has the reputation of, catering to the lovers of amusement on this coast, second to‘none. Most of the attractions on their way to San Francisco from the East, play an engagement at his Opera House, in Virginia City, and they will be brought here if -sufficient encouragement is given. The daily expenses of the present large company are very heavy, and a full house on Wednesday evening will not afford a very large profit to the manager. The play to begiven here will be ‘Uncle Tom’s.Cabin,’’ and it will be given entire, The members of the company have been selected from the principal Eastern theatres, and are all first class actors, Jean Clara Walters isan actress of great merit, and Miss Auna Firman has been a populer favorite for many years in Eastern cities. Her singing is said to be very fine. The prices of admission will be one dollar for reserved seats, and seventyfive cents forthe rear seats, below. The bills posted around town were printed below, and state that *fifty cents will be the price of rear seats. Our theatre is so small that such prices would not pay. We hope to see a crowded house on Wednesday evening next. The Record-Union of Thursday has the following notice of this excellent performance: “Piper's troupe made a grand hit last night. “Uncle Tom's Cabin” was played, and weil played.
