We tender our thanks for the kindly feelings of the public that have led it to excuse our faults and to esteem our motives, and we respectfally solicit a continuance of the patrenage bestowed upon us. Warysville Pa at ‘and Piank We publish in extenso to-day on the first page, what the Marysville Herald had to say about the plank road on the @lst. Much that is contained in the article is too evidently written by» peraon that has less knowledge ef the “history of the movement” than he pretends to. We can easily account for this in that the former responsible editor of: that paper is now a devotee to Thespis and his mantle has fallen on new shoulders. ; One single correction overturns much of the studied argument or declaration ofthe article, The legal objections to the plank road corporation are not simply statutory, they are constitutional, and as duch, can not be remeved under the most favorable circumstances under two er three years. The defects in the statute were appreciated in tho first Grass Valley conventien, and a committee was to proceed to Benicia, to effect amendment. The quota of Nevada County did proceed to Benicia, and labored for the object propesed—though if the Herald is anxious on the point, we presame tho honer of the success/ul result will be awarded to the delegates from that city. But the great defects were understood te be im the constitution, and no statutory amendments could relieve the liability ef stockholders. If the abolition of the liability clause was, as the Herald implies, the “sine qua non,” the whole operation wasn farce, and the Marysville eommittee most contemptibly foolish. They must have knows the plank road must be postponed several years, if the abolition of the liability clause was prerequisite to its construction. The debates of that convention are fresh in many minds, and it is well known that both the Sacramento and Marysville committee declared the funds would be immediately forthcoming for their reepeetive roads. The Herald labors under an error in saying the “geographical position” of Marysville over Sacramento caused our Gitisens to “determine in favor of Marysville.” If the question had been ene of geographical position alone it would instantly have been decided in favor of Saeramento. We have urged from the atart that Sacramento wae the natural point whence Nevada County could most cheaply and readily draw its supplies. Tt seems inexplicable to the Marysville papers—especially tothe Express, which makes up in zeal a melaneholy lack of discretion—how we can believe this of Sacramento and yet favor the Marysville road. To us it is perfectly olear. The eitizens of Marysville have been urging for months their determination and ability to build a road, and we have encouraged the iden because Sacramento will not or can not build one. The difference between the policy of Marysville and Nevada County is one entirely of position. .To appreciate how we can have the temerity to second-rate Marysville it is necessary to understand the subject better than a Marysville editor can. Our ideas upon this matter are not of yesterday, or because “sufficient was said and done” by the Marysville comet a Sens sssehounnsowegesieareavaruovonauuc ae ago—in reference to Sacramento :— fo company is formed is of little value, and much money may be thus frittered “Tf the merchants of that city under-. away.

Since the chaos-born earth came into existenee, there has neycr bea, if history afftrds adequate testimony, so prolific aggermination, so thrifty « growth, so full a development of mind and matter asin now-n-days. Enlightened by experience. fraternized by a limitéd intercourse, exalted by science and bumanjized by the refulgent lights of Liberty and Religion, the deep darkness that in the’ ages of the past enshrouded the world, has at last been effectually digsipated. The Nations of the earth in mass convention assembled at London in the year 1852, have repudiated the anti-; secial system that has so long held them at antipodes, and have covenanted, in all time to come, to co-operate with each other in advancing the knowledze and conseSucnt happinessof the human family. War has ceased to ravage and despoil the earth. Mankind no longer rival each other in carnage and bloodshed; but coming from every quarter of the civilized globe, they enter the arena ef the nations’ contest, and witha worthy ambition, engage in the strife for the proud prizes awarded to the highest . ron eg of science and ait, taste and genius. What age has ever Youth, . afforded te the world the contemplation of so sublime a spectacle! In the written history of the past, what event is California will make a display at New York, that will do honor to ourselves and our sister states—add to our alrendy exalted reputation in the eyes of the world; and contribute no little towards enlightening and fraternalizing the nations of the earth. By those directly engaged with their capital in developing the productive resources of Grass Valley, she has never at any time befere been looked upon as resting on so firm a basis as at the pres ent time. The day of vacillation, fluctuation and wild specu'ation, which terminated in a dark and hopeless night of monetary overthrow and ruin, has left us with its seductive and fuasdéinating light forever. Mining of a'l sorts, and business of all kinds dependent on this cardinal occupation of our people, is taking a just, well-balanced and safe positien, and from this time forward our course will be slowly and firmly onward and upward. Quartz minidg has received a strong and intelligent impulse; and three or four mills, of large capacity, are contemplated by individuals and companies of unfailing cash capital, and will soon be in process of erection and completion. And these mills will not be-built under the auspices of tyros and visionists ; but by cool, cautious capitalists—business men, who have had ex« perience in the quartz business before. in California—expcertenceywhich some of them will not soon forget. 1 say again, that quartz has known its misfortunes ; fere, and from the Herald, of Marysville building the road herself. and we have seen how she has progressed.

We can easily account for this in that the former responsible editor of: that paper is now a devotee to Thespis and his mantle has fallen on new shoulders. ; One single correction overturns much of the studied argument or declaration ofthe article, The legal objections to the plank road corporation are not simply statutory, they are constitutional, and as duch, can not be remeved under the most favorable circumstances under two er three years. The defects in the statute were appreciated in tho first Grass Valley conventien, and a committee was to proceed to Benicia, to effect amendment. The quota of Nevada County did proceed to Benicia, and labored for the object propesed—though if the Herald is anxious on the point, we presame tho honer of the success/ul result will be awarded to the delegates from that city. But the great defects were understood te be im the constitution, and no statutory amendments could relieve the liability ef stockholders. If the abolition of the liability clause was, as the Herald implies, the “sine qua non,” the whole operation wasn farce, and the Marysville eommittee most contemptibly foolish. They must have knows the plank road must be postponed several years, if the abolition of the liability clause was prerequisite to its construction. The debates of that convention are fresh in many minds, and it is well known that both the Sacramento and Marysville committee declared the funds would be immediately forthcoming for their reepeetive roads. The Herald labors under an error in saying the “geographical position” of Marysville over Sacramento caused our Gitisens to “determine in favor of Marysville.” If the question had been ene of geographical position alone it would instantly have been decided in favor of Saeramento. We have urged from the atart that Sacramento wae the natural point whence Nevada County could most cheaply and readily draw its supplies. Tt seems inexplicable to the Marysville papers—especially tothe Express, which makes up in zeal a melaneholy lack of discretion—how we can believe this of Sacramento and yet favor the Marysville road. To us it is perfectly olear. The eitizens of Marysville have been urging for months their determination and ability to build a road, and we have encouraged the iden because Sacramento will not or can not build one. The difference between the policy of Marysville and Nevada County is one entirely of position. .To appreciate how we can have the temerity to second-rate Marysville it is necessary to understand the subject better than a Marysville editor can. Our ideas upon this matter are not of yesterday, or because “sufficient was said and done” by the Marysville comet a Sens sssehounnsowegesieareavaruovonauuc ae ago—in reference to Sacramento :— fo company is formed is of little value, and much money may be thus frittered “Tf the merchants of that city under-. away.

Since the chaos-born earth came into existenee, there has neycr bea, if history afftrds adequate testimony, so prolific aggermination, so thrifty « growth, so full a development of mind and matter asin now-n-days. Enlightened by experience. fraternized by a limitéd intercourse, exalted by science and bumanjized by the refulgent lights of Liberty and Religion, the deep darkness that in the’ ages of the past enshrouded the world, has at last been effectually digsipated. The Nations of the earth in mass convention assembled at London in the year 1852, have repudiated the anti-; secial system that has so long held them at antipodes, and have covenanted, in all time to come, to co-operate with each other in advancing the knowledze and conseSucnt happinessof the human family. War has ceased to ravage and despoil the earth. Mankind no longer rival each other in carnage and bloodshed; but coming from every quarter of the civilized globe, they enter the arena ef the nations’ contest, and witha worthy ambition, engage in the strife for the proud prizes awarded to the highest . ron eg of science and ait, taste and genius. What age has ever Youth, . afforded te the world the contemplation of so sublime a spectacle! In the written history of the past, what event is California will make a display at New York, that will do honor to ourselves and our sister states—add to our alrendy exalted reputation in the eyes of the world; and contribute no little towards enlightening and fraternalizing the nations of the earth. By those directly engaged with their capital in developing the productive resources of Grass Valley, she has never at any time befere been looked upon as resting on so firm a basis as at the pres ent time. The day of vacillation, fluctuation and wild specu'ation, which terminated in a dark and hopeless night of monetary overthrow and ruin, has left us with its seductive and fuasdéinating light forever. Mining of a'l sorts, and business of all kinds dependent on this cardinal occupation of our people, is taking a just, well-balanced and safe positien, and from this time forward our course will be slowly and firmly onward and upward. Quartz minidg has received a strong and intelligent impulse; and three or four mills, of large capacity, are contemplated by individuals and companies of unfailing cash capital, and will soon be in process of erection and completion. And these mills will not be-built under the auspices of tyros and visionists ; but by cool, cautious capitalists—business men, who have had ex« perience in the quartz business before. in California—expcertenceywhich some of them will not soon forget. 1 say again, that quartz has known its misfortunes ; fere, and from the Herald, of Marysville building the road herself. and we have seen how she has progressed.
