The I'.ifiiic (Cailroail.
\Ve have i tunes adverted to tlie fact that
tliere were two passes through the Sierra Neva
da Mountains in Northern California, presenting
fewer serious obstacles to the passage of a rail
road limn, perhaps, any pass in a more southern
portion of the State. Noble’s Shasta Route,
which leaves Humboldt river about eighty miles
above the Sink, and until it reaches the fiend of
Sacramento V alley, does not vary ten miles from
a due West course, presents no obstacles to the
construction of a railroad worthy of serious
mention.
The pass at Goose Lake in Siskiyou County,
lias, it possible, advantages greatly superior to
those of Noble’s pass. Upon this subject we
h ive the following note from a gentleman who
has traveled over the ground, and who by edu
cation is well qualified to form a correct opinion
of the advantages and capabilities of the route
for the purposes of a railroad:—
Shasta, June 7th 18-13.
Messrs. Editors: —ln the coming contest for
the direction of the great Pacific Railway, it
will be greatly to the interest of Northern Cali
fornia, to exhibit the advantages of the Pass at
boose Lake in Siskiyou County. In 1849 Col.
1 iemoiit gave information of inis route to Geu.
Smith, at that time commanding in California,
wim sen' Capt. Warner of the U. S. Topographi
cal Engineers, to examine it. Capt. Warner
was killed, but Ids notes were recovered; they
c onfirmed the information of Fremont. The
pass can hardly be called a mountain, for Capt.
McDermitt, Sheriff of Siskiyou County, rode
over it from the foot on one side, to that of the
other, in forty minutes, and on a gentle declivity"
on each side.
Very Respectfully, Observer.
We are convinced, however, that the Pacific
Railroad will be brought through some more
southern puss. The interests of most of the po
liticians of lids State who are likely to exert any
coutroling influence iu the fixation of the route
of this great work, lie iu the south—toagieat
extent, centre in San Francisco. With them
the great object is to get the road to San Fran
cisco as speedily us possible, after which, they
intimate, a branch can be extended up the Sac
ramento Valley and through to Oregon —some-
time iu the course of human events.
New Diggings. —We learn by a gentleman
just in from Pitt River, that quite a number of
miners have gone to some new diggings located
near the Meadows on the North Fork of Feather
River. Miners generally, we are convinced
from our own experience, would make more
money in the course of the year, by remaining
iu one place, than they do by prospecting so
frequently. A rolling stone gathers no moss, is
a saw, although trite, full of truth, and particu
larly applicable to the occupation of the miner.
Ho! For Salt River. —lsaac Koop, Esq.,
our worthy Postmaster, as will be seen by his
card in another column, has given notice of his
intention to resign his office on the 30th inst., for
the purpose of taking a few years pleasure ex
cursion up the delightful and health inspiring
and spirit soothing stream of Salt River. May
pleasant breezes waft him gently ou ids course,
as he sings—
Hail Columbia ! happy land!
If I ain’t blessed I’ll he &c.
Whig County Convention. —The Whig Ceu
tral Committee for this County, through to-day’s
paper, calls upon tiie Whigs to assemble in pri
mary meeting, at the various precincts, and se
lect delegates to attend a County Convention, to
be holden in this place, ou the 25th inst., for the
purpose of electing six delegates to represent
this County iu the Whig State Convention, to be
held iu Sacramento on the 6th of July next.
Democratic Cuumi Convention.— The pro
ceedings of this body will be found in another
column. W e do not know how all the delegates
will vote in Convention, but believe a majority
are favorable to Gov. Dialer.
Col. Harper.— Ihe -Marysville Herald cor
rects the statement that Col. Harper was admit
ted to bail iu the sum of SIOOO by Judge Shultz
of Butte Comity. The amount first fixed was
si2ol). and was afterwards raised to S4OOO by
the Judge, upon the reception of additional
facts, of a more aggravating nature than the pa
pers as made out by the committing magistrate
presented. Col. Harper is now undergoing his
trial before Judge Smith, in the District Court.
CF- P. F. Terbush, Assessor, has nearly com
pleted ibe assessments for this county. The
woik so far ha* been most efficiently performed,
ani we arc persuaded that in the course of the
next twelve months our county will be entirely
freed from debt.
To E. K. R. —\our favor is most welcome.

Ed«. CourierYonr ever welcome sheet
was received by Cram, Rogers & Go's Express at
an early hotirou Saturday last.
The party that went out in search of the three
men supposed to hare l>een killed by the In
d ans. ha* returned and reported the men safe.
Our mines are still yielding a handsome re.
turn for steady and industrious men; and al
though some few are leaving for the neighbor
hood of Lawson’s Peak, those that remain are
mtkiug from eight to twelve, and sometimes
fortv and a hundred dollars per day.
One company in Rich Gulch (four men) took
out in one day a little over SSOO. A little gulch
near the town, supposed to have been worked
out, paid two men the sum of eighty dollars for
one day’s labor.
This section of country is as yet indifferently
prospected. And all who have worked in these
mines agree in saying that they pay better than
any they have known since ’49.
The water from one or two small creeks ha*
been turned into Rich Gulch in sufficient quan
tities, it is supposed, to last during the summer
months. Timo.n*.
Foreign Miners License.—Sheriff Corsaut
will in a few days again start on a tour through
the county, for the purpose of collecting the
monthly tax upon foreign miners. In this con
nection we cannot but regret that our County
Judge has felt it his duty to fix the Sheriff’s per
centage for collecting at anything less than the
full amount allowed by the law. If the work of
collecting this lax is worth 25 per cent, any
where in the State it is surely worth it in this
rugged and mountainous county. Even with
the full per centage allowed under the law, at
ihe discretion of the County Judge, but small
wages will he realized by the collector, after de
ducting his expenses of from six to eight dol
lars per day. in addition to wear and tear of
horse flesh.
Ignorance of the People. — 1 here is no de
nying the fact that some California editors are
much puffed up with their own importance—
big with self-sufficiency. We have frequently
observed that a vain an I weak-minded man,
when placed in a prominent position, is apt to
get the notion into his head that the people are
decidedly ignorant—that they seldom look fur
ther than the surface of any thing. Hence we
frequently observe articles in the papers below,
introduced with the remark, that they “ were
written by thinking and intelligent miners,” or
laborers, or mechanics, as the case may be. The
following paragraph from the Alta California's
synopsis of Oregon news, is the best illustration
of the sentiment which we are reprobating,
that has fallen in our way for some time:—
Ihe papers are principally filled with politi
cal discussions and party bickerings—the great
question at issue being the names of Whig and
Democrat, without either party knowing or car
ing any thing about the distinctive principles
that divide them.
Carrying Dust Home. —We would recom
mend our friends, when journeying home, to let
the Express and Banking Houses carry their
dust for them. By so doing they are less liable
to be robbed, and at the same lime avoid a vast
deal of annoyance and disquietude. Neverthe
less, if any of them are determined to carry it
themselves, we would recommend the following
plan of a Hoosier, as related by the Yankee
Blade: —“He placed his dust in one corner of
his trunk and four rattle-snakes in the other. As
this was done openly, it is not necessary to say
that his property was very little disturbed even
on the Isthmus.”
Wm. P. Daingereield, Esq.—The numerous
friends of this gentleman will be glad to le*mi
that be has been appointed clerk of the Board
of Commissioners for the disposal of the State’s
interest in the property within the water line
of the city of San Francisco. Mr. Daingerfield
was universally esteemed by our citizens, and
while his appointment will not fail to gratify
them, his absence from our midst will neverthe
less be much regretted. "
Surgical Operation.—On Saturday last, Dr.
Raymond, of this place, assisted by Drs. Shurt
leff, Baldwin and Dawson, amputated the thigh
of a gentleman by the name of Robertson, lately
from Pitt River, while under the influence of
chloroform. W’e did not witness the operation,
but are informed it was performed with a de
gree of skill highly complimentary to Dr. Ray
mond as an accomplished Surgeon. The ampu
tation was accomplished in fifty seconds, with a
knife mannfictnreil hv the operator himself.
Yreka.—The editor of the Marysville Herald
wants the editor of the paper shortly to be pub
lished in Yreka, to “ correct the glaring viola
tion of orthographical rules” in the manner
«f spoiling the name of that place. He desires
a W prefixed. What says friends Thornbury
and Slade ?
Affair of Honor. — The difficulty which oc
curred upon the race course, at the Mission, a
few Sunday's since, between the Hons. Gwin
ffnd McCorkle, resulted in a hostile meeting.
After three shots with rifles at thirty paces —
with no inconvenient results—the seconds of the
parties ascertained the extraordinary fact that
they were fighting under a mistake, when, of
course, the affair was promptly ended. One ball
almost touched the hair upou the head of Mr.
McCorkle.
Personal. —Our popular young Assembly
man, Dr. T. T. Cabauiss, is again in -onr midst.
His numerous friends will be glad to learn that
he has entirely recovered from his recent spell
of sickness.
EP* Green Corn is served up il»ily at the San
Francisco Restaurants. So advertisers say. We
rather suspect it is green corn, in a horn—or,
perhaps, like the fresh batter that we Califor
nians have the privilege of using, fresh around
the Hunt.
Fr*n Weaverville.
The large and commodious saloon, the “ In
dependence,” was opened on Saturday evening
last. This saloon has no superior in the State,
save in San Francisco. Jack Bachelor is the
proprietor.
The “ Austin House.” was opened on Sunday
l>y Mr. Messic. It is expected this will be the
bon ton hotel of Weaverville. Mrs. McManuus,
formerly of our town, will have charge of the
domestic arrangements of the bouse, which will
be a sure guarantee of its success.
On Sunday, Weaverville was alive w’ilh the
•‘sports,” making preparations for the long
talked of race between McKenzie’s and Kelly’s
fast mules, for S3OO a side; distance 250 yards.
Not less than four or five hundred persons were
on the ground to witness the sport. McKenzie’s
mule was ridden by McWhorter; Kelly’s by
himself. The first race the mules bolted the
track on coming near the judge’s stand. The
second race was closely contested, McKenzie’s
mule coming in half a length ahead.
Immediately after the above race, considerable
excitement was gotten up by the appearance of
two fine American horses. Mr. Messic entered
gray horse and L. C. Arledge entered bay horse,
for S2OO a side ; distance 250 yards. At this time
betting ran high, both parties sanguine of the
speed of the horses. The bay horse was much
the finest looking animal, but it turned out that
the gray was an old racer, and beat the bay
some ten or twelve feet, causing a serious loss of
•* change” to the bay horse’s friends.
Mr. Sites and his companions are still perse
vering in their deep hole enterprise, working a
double set of hands. They have now gone down
3CO feet, making it the deepest mining hole in
California. They have found gold the entire dis
tance, and are daily expecting to reach the bed
rock.
The burnt district is nearly all built upon.
See “Adobe’s” letter on our first page.

Regular Triuily Carrcupondrncc,
Weaverville, June 9lh, 1803.
Messrs. Editors ;—We could well say this
week, with Mark Anthony, that we can tell you
nothing but what you yourselves do know, one
of you having been with us some three or four
days during the past week. This leaves us but
little scope for action. We trust that you and
your friends were not dissatisfied with us, by
your hasty retreat. We assure the “ Senior,”
however, that to our knowledge we gave them
no pain save that which was chain. We hope
since they know the road they will visit us
often.
Our town was considerably excited on Tues
day, occasioned by a miners’ meeting, which
had been culled for the purpose of determining
the question in regard to the right of parties car
rying water from a creek or gulch to other
mines in the neighborhood, if, after such water
had been carried, parlies should come in on
said creek or gulch, and wish to use the water.
The question was decided at the meeting, that
the parties first claiming and using the water,
have the best and only right to it, provided they
leave enough for the use of the bed of the creek.
At this decision some persons arc dissatisfied, as
it conflicts with their interests, and are deter
mined to carry it into our courts.
We are sorry to learn that violence has been
resorted to in this case, and that property
amounting to some two thousand dollars, has
been destroyed—the reservoir, dam and ditch
of the original claimants having been entirely
demolished. Adobe.
The Vanderbilt Line. —G. W. Metlar, Esq.,
who is connected with this Line at the San
Francisco office, called upon ns a few days since.
He is at pre ent on a tour through the mining
districts. He informs us that prompt steps are
being taken by Capt. C. K. Garrison, the Agent
at San Francisco, to remove all cause of com
plaint on the part of passengers, on the land por
tion of the trip. Our correspondent “ Fenelon,”
complains bitterly of the treatment received on
this portion of the route, while he speaks in
high terms of the steamers on both sides.
Thieves About. —On Sunday night last, the
money drawer of the Shasta Post Office was
robbed of some S3O. The thief broke a pane of
glass in the front door, which enabled him to
reach the drawer without difficulty. Persons
should be very careful with their funds iu these
hard times.
Last Tuesday was an exceedingly hot
day, the thermometer having a portion of the
time stood at about 105 deg. Fahrenheit. On
Thursday afternoon a north wind sprung up and
continued olowing boisterously all night, bring
ing the mercury down to about CO, at which it
stood the greater part nt yesterday.
Delicious Drjxk. —Now that the hot days
are coming on, 'he vicinity of the Soda Fountain
at the City Drug Store, will be a favorite place
of resort. Friend Kotlie’s “ Queen Charlottes”
are decidedly most pleasant to take.
Correspondents, to secure the publica
tion of their favors, if deemed of sufficient inter
est in other respects, should always send us
their real names. Unknown individuals cannot
use our columns.
Tai.i. Oats. — The Union has been shown, by
Mr. Wilson from the Cosumne river, a bunch of
oats stocks, measuring seven feet and six inches
iu height.'
Colusa. — 1 lie Democrats ol the southern por
tion of Colusa have appointed A. J. Weaver,
Esq., delegate to the Shite Convention, and in
structed him to vote for Roman for Governor.
Pictorials. —W e return thanks to Mr. Roman

We are indebted to John A. Parker, Rhodes
& Lusk’s Express messenger, for the following
items of new’g:
There has lately been ranch interest manifest
ed by the citizens of Jacksonville, relative to
the white woman, supposed to be a prisoner
among the Indians. It is believed that she has
been detained among them since 1851. A par
ty of 25 men, some days since, started out with
the intention of recovering her if possible. They
arrived at the Indian Camp on Butte Creek,
some 40 miles from Jacksonville, and on de
manding the woman were shown an old squaw.
The party then removed to the opposite side of
the creek, and camped for the night. On the
morning following, they were visited by eight
or ten Indians, who were informed that unless
they delivered up the woman at once they
would be killed. At this the Indians became
frightened, and attempted to make their escape,
when six of them were shot down, and the
others wounded. The party then returned to
Rogue River for provisions. Some fifteen of
them have again gone on the search, determin
ed to risk their lives to rescue her from her hor
rible situation.
Gov. Lane, who has resigned the position of
Governor of Oregon, to run for Congress on the
regular Democratic ticket, and Mr. Skinner, his
opponent, running on the “ People’s Ticket,”
had a discussion before the people of Jackson
ville on the 31st of May.
Business in Yreka is represented as being a
little dull at present. A large number of trains
loaded with goods, are now on the road to that
point from this place. The streams on the road
are very high, and the trains in consequence are
travelling slowly.
The Mountain Herald will make its appearance
in Yreka on next Saturday.
A Spanish house of ill-tame was set on fire on
Sunday night last, but by timely exertions was
saved.
Van Wyck & Klink, merchants, were robbed
of $240 in gold dust on Sunday night.
At the head of Scott’s Valley, near the Quartz
Mill, a party of five men took out of a claim on
a branch of Scott’s River, SIOOO one day, SSOO
the day following, and altogether during the
week, the handsome sum of $2500.
A soldier deserted from Fort Jones on Satur
day last, taking wi h him two mules. A reward
o( SIOO is offered for the capture of the thief, and
S3O each for the mules.
Thk Growth ok San Francisco. — Of all the
wonderful things that have occurred in Califor
nia since its possession by the Americans, the
extraordinary rapidity with which San Francis
co has grown into a large city, is the most in
credible. The Herald says :
The population of San Francisco is now near
ly 50.000. The city has covered the old sand
bench, mounted the hills, overflowed into the
valleys beyond, encroached upon the waters,
and promised, perhaps not many generations
hence, to cover the peninsula between the Ocean
and Bay. Behold how great a tree may grow
from a little seed. Six years ago, in June, 1817,
the California Star, the first paper ever publish
ed here, gave the following as the population of
the village:
Population. Males. Females. Total.
Whites, 217 138 375
Indians, 26 8 34
Kanakas, 39 1 40
-Negroes, 9 1 10
Total, 321 148 459
Now every steamer that arrives—and they
come in of late in fleets of three or four—brings
a population more than sufficient to people such
a town as the old pueblo of Yerba Buena.

Would it not he more appropriate to hold this

The Chinamen who stole the S4OO at Dry
Town, noticed last week, was sentenced to re

off. This latter he resisted to the last, he>'«itit
of them even to kill him, so that he mi°ht di>
with this honorable appendage. He was after
winds given in charge to some of his country
men, who again whipped him and cutoff his
left ear. He was then marched off for San
I rancisco, in charge of another party: but get
ting tired of their prisoner, they led him a lath
aside from the road, and finally disposed of him
by shooting him through the hear).
Death of Major Harvkt. —The startlin"
intelligence of the murder of Major Harvey, a
gentleman well known in this city, was recei’v
ed here yesterday, and created considerable ex
citement. The bodies of Major Harvey and a
companion, Mr. Young, were found by Captain
Love's company, in search of Joaquin, on the
trail between the San Joaquin and Frezno. It
will he remembered that Harvey killed Major
Savage, in selt-defeuce, some months since, at
the Four Creeks, iu Tulare County. The In
dians, amongst whom Savage lived and traded,
lamented his death in the most extravagant man
ner. It is supposed that they dogged Major
Harvey, and took this mode of avenging the
death of their friend. °

—There was recently, says the New York .W
lirmal Democrat . a family' of thirty slaves in \ ir
ginia, which the owner offered to sell into free
dom at a verv small price, and some benevolent
parties in Philadelphia undi nook to raise the
amount by subscription. The facts weie pre
sented by letter, to Mrs. Sigourney, who imme
diately enclosed twenty-five dollars for the ob
ject. Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe was also
written to, and, of course, she responded by
sending a very large sum of mom y for the “glo
rious purpose” She had just realized an im
mense fortune by her abolitionism—she was on
the eve of starting for England, to be feted by
the Duchess of Sutherland, and ( arresscil by the
hand of nobility, and of course she gave a vert/
large sum to pmchase hese thirty slaves. No,
good reader she gave not one rent. She sent back
a letter full oi sweet sympathy, abounding with
the charily of advice and approval, but as empty
of money as her own face is of shame at the con
temptible part she is now playing, in forgini; a
State's evidence against In r country. No, she*
had no money for the “ poor slave.” As her
eminent friend and co-laborer, Mr. Amindab
