HORN ITOS: THURSDAY IMORMMV AUGUST 13 PUBLISHED EVERY THU BY WARREN KIMTOK AND PC The l>eiiioernf le Parly In till* County. To every well-wisher of (he great Democrat ic cause, the present position of the party in this county must be a subject of regret. Party principles and triumphs have been rendered of secondary consideration in comparison with the claims of particular men—themselves known to be good Democrats, and yet their friends at the herd and front of the offending. How strange must all this trouble and excitement appear to those who truly love and venerate the noble principle* that are at the very found ation of our Government and party. Many of Mr. Crippcn’s friends refused to sanction the call made by the Central Committee, alleging a want of authority in that body, but notwith standing their published protest the Conven tion has met at Mariposa In accordance with the call. Driven by the emergencies of the case to make a selection between the two contending factions, it seems to us that it will be more in accordance with the usages and rules of tin party for every true Democrat to abide by the action of the Convention, acting under the au thority and by the express command of the legil'y appointed and legitimately acting Cen tral Committee. If part or portion of the par ty has been injured by too hasty or too pnju diced a course of conduct upon the part of the members of the Convention, their wrongs should have been sought to he righted by a direct appeal to the people to whom this whole difficulty should have been submitted on the first provocation. Had the resolutions adopt ed by the friends of Mr. Crfppcn prevailed, we would have had no nominees for any offices in this County, and in pledging their support to that gentleman, they were willing that every other office should go b}’ default, and that tin party, broken and scattered, would he left powerless to act and consequently, unable to front the political foes by which wc are openly and privately beset. Every man owes some thing cither of devotion or interest to his friends, hut where the defeat of (he party is endangered by adhering too strictly to the bonds of friendship, it then becomes a matter of duty if not of necessity to discard the tics of friendship, in order to preserve or promote the ascendancy of the D mocratic part}’. S » far as wc arc concerned, it matters but little as to which or the two candidates are elected Sheriff. They would both make competent and faithful officers, and it is this very evenness in qualifications for office that makes the friends of each, cling with so much tenacity to the respective candidates. If the harmony of the party can ho secured by the discarding of the claims of both, and electing a new man to fill the office of Sheriff, then let mutual con cessions ho made by the friends of both, but in God’s name, let us not he so blinded by per sonal prejudices as to endanger the success of the whole party for the mere sake of elevating this or that man to office. If this act of con cession is not adopted our course is plain. We shall give to the nominees of the Convention of the 12th our support, he it little or much; for it is better to die with “ harness on our backs” than to be crushed out of existence be tween the pressure of the two contending fac tions. Ifevcr was there a more fitting oppor tunity offered than at present for men, whether candidates or not, to make a noble sacrifice for the benefit of the good old cause of Democra cy. To those who possess the heroic mag nanimity to yield all personal aggrandizement for the good of the party, the party will re member and reward—and the people will say, well done thou good and faithful servant. Returned. —Mr. Roberts. Howard, William A. Roundtree, and George W. Coulter have returned to this County, and we arc glad to welcome hack among us such good citizens.— Collector Washington has made such appoint ments in the Custom House as will render the stay of the above named gentlemen among us of long continuance. Favors. —George, of merry memory, who drives Fisher’s fast team, will please accept our thanks for newspaper favors. Clift, ton, who with his mustang team ran th i famous race with the mail stage and won, will also accept our thanks for like favors. Nicaragua Route. —Several of the San Francisco papers state (hat the Nicaragua steamers will shortly resume their trips. This information is based on letters from C. K. Gar rison, the former agent Merced mid Marlpoiin IXteli. Mr. Peterson completed his preliminary sur vey in regard to the line of altitudes. He finds that a line run on a dead level from the sum mit of the Gap at the head of Bums' Creek, will strike the waters of main Merced River at the east point where Rear Creek empties into the Merced. The ground through which the Ditch will pass offers most promising induce ments for undertaking the enterprise. It can be dug out or excavated nearly the whole dis tance, and there will not he over one-fifth of the distance that will require fluming. The Ditch when completed will be nearly GO miles in length, and can be constructed for a sum of money not exceeding 200,000 dollars. The water from this Canal will first supply the Quartzburg District, and then will pass through the rich mineral lands of the Hornitos and Indian Gulch sections. We now proceed to describe the mineral wealth of that section of land without the grant, known as the Quartzburg district, be ginning at Corbitt’s Creek on the east, and running towards the. west for a distance of 12 miles, to Merced River thence in a south-west ly direction for a distance of four miles, thence in a south-easterly direction until the line strikes Burns* Creek, one mile above its junc tion with Eldorado Creek, thence following up Eldorado Creek to the place of beginning, ma king in all a tract of land equal to about 7 miles square. About the centre of this tract is situated the town of Quartzburg. near which is located the Washington Quartz Mill, worked by steam power, crushing quartz at the rate of $S per ton, brought from the neighboring ledges by the quartz miners, yet at this very moment the Washington lode is yielding rock that pays SOO per ton, taken eighty feet under ground. The quartz veins in this section are very rich, and their number countless, ns it is a perfect net-work of lodes traversed in all direc tions by innumerable ledges, having their courses traceable by the boulders above ground. The number of mills these b dges would supply with quartz, supposing the stamps to he driven by water-power, would probably fall little, if any, short of 60, and the quartz will average S2O per ton. As regards the Placer diggings, 600 sluices is by no means overrating the sluice heads of water that will he required to work this dis trict. Timber is very scarce in this region, and what little there is scattered over the hill tops is of stunted growth and of inferior quali ty. The Placer mines are very rich and will require a very large amount of water to work (hem. The ground within U<• limits specified is very dry, amt the qdns'of winter afford a very limited and uncertain ‘supply. The Gains mill, which runs from 2<V(o 25 stamps, driven by steam power nmicr tHr direction of John A Collins, has beeK cupelled to fu pend opera tions at intervals miring the present summer, in order to water sufficient to run a few stamps. r Hrrs mill is located near the dividing ridge of the Quartzburg district, own ing some 20 lodes of quartz, on one of which they have cut the lode to the depth of 70 feet and find the vein richer and thicker than at the surface, (ho quartz paying on an average fifty dollars per ton, and this has been thecas* with many of the veins in this vicinity. Dry ‘\Vn*lili)K !»>’ t li« Mrilniut. The Mexican miners who are now working in the vicinity of Hornitos number something over two hundred, and as their mode of oper ating in seeking for gold is peculiar and tedious, we propose giving some description of their modus operand!. During the dry .summer months the Mexican miner may be seen at nl most any hour during the day cayoting for gold in the neighboring hills or the adjacent flats. Sinking a square hole some four or five feet deep, to the bed rock, he carefully scrapes all the dirt lying immediately on the ledge, in to a wooden battea which he carries to the nearest tree, and under its shade pounds up the hard lumps of earth until nothing but du«t remains. A bullock’s hide is now spread out upon a level spot, when the Mexican raises the battea above his head, and with an oscillating motion shakes out the dust upon the skin un til al! the dust has fallen. This process is re newed fur a number of times until very little of the original mass remains, which is can ful ly collected and placed in a pile separate from the unpounded earth. When it is found that the claim from which the dirt has been taken pays rich or even reasonably well, the Mexi can returns to his diggings and commences to cut into the sides of his hole just above or ad jacent to the bed rock. They are a species of badger miner. Slicking close to the ledge, they will borrow with their light crow-bars for a distance of six or eight feet, ascending or descending with the ledge, following it closely and carefully scraping up the earth upon its surface. They seldom use any other tools ex cept the small crow bar, which is pointed at both ends, the batten, and the horn spoon with which they scrape and rake up the soil after first loosening it with the bar. They are by no means selfish in their raining operations.— When one strikes a good claim his neighbors and friends are soon informed of it, but it is only to their own countrymen to whom he is thus disinterestedly generous. When one claim has proven good the whole of the gulch, flat or hill is soon taken up by his compatriots, and then begins the work of cayoting in which they seem to delight, ami which gives so re markable an appearance to the mines wherev er they have been working. Dry washing re quires considerable slight of hand in working to advantage. A windy day is preferable for this manner of washing, as the wind more rapidly carries of the line dirt while the great density of the gold removes all fear of its being carried off the hide even by the strongest breeze. The Mexicans make a good living du ring the summer months at dry washing, and in many instances we have known them to realize small fortunes by this manner of wash ing- Uppkr Calaveiutas.—On Saturday, August Ist, a fire occurred in the town of Upper Cal avcrilns, in Calaveras County, consuming 61 buildings—the entire town except one store.— 1.088 $35,000. The principal losers, with in domitable energy, at once set about rebuilding their burnt tenements. Two Sfrw Motor* InveiitMl, Professor Salomon, after ten years severe application, has discovered a new motive pow er, which it is said will effect a revolution in mechanics. The inventor claims for it greater power as a driving force for machinery at a reduced expense in fuel, being in favor of the new invention as 15 to 100. If the statements and description given of it hy those witnessing its application arc true, it will evidently super sede steam, and its inventor rank among the Fultons, Watts and Franklins of the past whose renown and fame is identified with the history and progress of all mechanical tri umphs. To us in the mines it will he of incal culable benefit, because steam as a motive power for lifting our stamps, is too costly and dangerous, and some invention of the kind will greatly tend to the developing of our min eral resources. A French chemist and machines! has also succeeded in rendering Electricity effective as a motive power, and the Emperor Napoleon who witnessed the experiments made with it, has become highly delighted with the re sults. Louis Napoleon is said to be a compe tent judge in such matters, and he has pro nounced the experiment eminently successful, both for economy and practicability. Here then we have a double chance fur obtaining something cheaper and loss dangerous than steam, and wc do hope something equally as forcible and regular in force or power as ap plied to machinery. The description of Pro fessor Salomon’s invention will he found in this day’s paper. He is a Prussian by birth, but has resided some twenty years in the United States. coriiT op aripoh % comrrv.

Action upon this important subject has been token by the Stab- Central Committee, and they have made the following nominations : For .Justice of the Supreme Court, for unexpired term, Peter If. Burnett; for Slate Treasurer, for unevpired term, James L. Koglish. This action of the Committee is deemed t-» be ju lichma, and will undoubtedly meet lb*- approbation of the entire party. The selection of these gentlemen will prevent any confusion, and we place with pleasure their names at the head of our columns among our other nominee*, ft Is probably I ■ ■' I the Convention, had the matter been suggested. it is umiecwMiry to speak of their lUdcmi for the position* nann-d.

S< till lift 111. Assertion to the c< ntrai y notwithstanding, says the Stair Journal, it in an Undeniable fact that the De mocracy have ever and always been on side of the Rettlere. In fin* far west of the Atlantic aide of the Union the pioneer pitched his tent or reared bis (iibin, omid the red men of tin* foro t, tinder the as>ur unco that the broad pennant of Democracy waved over him and the constitution of the freer*! nation of the world pave him protection. From the earlie-t days of the Republic down to the present moment, the hardy toiler in the w ildemess, the picket guard of civilization, the rover and the prospector of the desert, guarded by the great shield of democratic govern ment pursued Ids way unmolested and fearlessly until cunping by the wayside be lit his fire, built Ids bough or log hut, planted Ins corn, and prepared for a new life in a new’ region. He was safe under the shelter and protection of the laws of his country, and lie could look forward to the right of preemption and the possession of Ids land without the least doubt or mi-giving, finch being the case, it is sheer nonsense to talk of the Democracy taking side against the Bet tier. It is against our principle, our policy, our feel ing. Democracy teaches to raise, elevate, exult; not t» beat bu k, lower, or debase. The hewer of wood and tlie drawer of water arc alike, with us, placed upon th same platform as the prince of hankers or a retired gentleman. liet interested politicians ray what they will the truth is incontrovertible that ficttlerum and Democracy are twin brothers. Another State Convention.—lt has been sug gested. says the Sacramento that the Mormons will most likely call a State Convention, for the pur p we of making nouduations to he voted for at the ap proaching Slate election, and when it may hi* expect ed that the Republicans will “stuff” the convention as they did the one called by the settlers ; and that Edward Stanley is at present busily engaged in pre paring a letter, in answer to interrogations prepared !<y the manager», in which he is required to say that lie had not studied the Mormon faith until since he U'c.tme a candidate for Governor - f California, but that he really thinks well of it, and if elected will en deavor moat faithfully to extend the truths and prin ciples of the Mormon creed. New Teriittoht.—A large meeting of the citizens of Carson Valley was recently held, to take primary -tc|m towards petitioning the President and both Houses of Congress to strike off a new Territory; bounded North by the Oregon line, East, by the Goose Creek Range Mountains, South by the Colorado River, and West by the Sierra Nevada. Col. Reese presided. The Ovkklanu Mail. We understand,rays the (Hubr. that Mr. Birch lias remarked that the contract ors of the Overland Mail route from Memphis to San Francisco can make the passage in fifteen days. If ho, the communication with the East will be both speedy and sure. Hu; Beak.—Col. Bruce of Yolo,says the Sacramen to lire, recently shot a grizzly weighing about 1,500 pounds. The animal when shot was quietly eating a cow which it had killed for provisional purposes. Washington Territoky —The election in Wash ington Territory had resulted in the return of a large majority of Democrats to the House of Representa tives. Wonderful Iron.— A Mr. Howell, says the Scientific American , has invented a secret method of making good puddle iron quite fluid by mixing it with other ingredients, and thus produces what is termed in the transac tioni of the Liverpool Polytechnic Society. “ Homogenous Metal,” alleged to be as tough as copper and strong as steel. T.nfrr from Chinn. By the ship Chapman from Hongkong, wo have dates from Chinn to the 15th June. Batti k at Canton.—There was n pretty severe on gagcmcnt on the Ist of June between 11. B. M. Ship Hongkong and some English gunboats, and the Chi nese junks. Some fifty or sixty English sailors and sol diers were killed, and ninety-four Chinese junks captured. The English were victorious. Two actions of less severity had preceded this one, in which four offic i rs and twenty-seven men of the Britishers were wounded. There were twenty-four English ships of war in the China waters, and twelve others expected. Fa mink at Canton.—Provisions were very scarce and dear at ('anton, and great distress prevailed among the poor people. Fully a third of the population of this city are said to have deserted ; and hundreds of deaths are daily taking place from starvation. Some of the respectable merchants are being anxious that the place should be taken at once. The people blame Governor Veil, and would gladly dispatch him, had they a chance. On the IGth May there was a rumor that Yeh had been removed, but this rumor is not con tinued by subsequent papers. The effect of the op< ra tions upon Canton had been to give an immense im petus to tin ! *ng d irmant trade of Macao. From the 27th May to the 7lh June there had arrived forty-five vessels with cargoes of rice, amounting to 1110,000 piculs, at Macao. Lath from the Sandwich Islands.— By the arri val of the schooner Julius Pringle, we have Honolul i papers to the 9th of July, eleven days Inter. The Fourth of July was celebrated at Honolulu with great spirit. Salutes were fired on shore, and from vessels in the harbor. Pings were displayed ; patriot ic speeches were made, Ac. The schooner Restless was lost in a gale on tne 15th of October off Tristan Island, with all hands on board. She had been fitted out as a whaler from New London under the command of (’apt. Middleton. On the 15th of October she was in company with the bark Ripple, when the gale came on, after which she was not seen or heard from, though vessels picked up pieces of masts and tubs known to belong to her. A number of the old hulks which have lain in the harbor of Honolulu for months are now Iming broken up for fire wo'»d. Among them are the brig Tuskar of Boston, a California bound vessel, which was di-mast ed near the islands about 1850, and condemned there; the hulls of the steamer S. P. Wheeler, of California memory, and the whaling bark Delta, of Greenport; the hulls of the whale ships George and Montpelier. The old ship Charlotte has been cut down toiler lower dei k, for a heaving-down hulk. From Pincers lilt Arrivals Arrows the Plains.

Mills’ party from Sacramento, July Bth had reached the east hide of (loose Creek Mountain-. At the head of (loose Creek, the party was attacked by a largo parly of Indians, who tried to run off the stock, but was routed ; one Indian killed and t>vo or three wounded. Mills’ party escaped un harmed. and were getting along finely, their stork in good condition. The report given by Pintah Indians to Judge Crane respecting the massacre and robbing at Stormy Point, Humboldt River, was not so bad as represented. Only two or three whites were killed and u few goods stolen. Trains may he expected now daily from off the plains. Henny’s party is the second arrival from the States this season.

In addition to the gold, lie also discovered a vein of copper ore, of great richness, in the same vicinity. It lies eighty miles distant in a south-easterly direction from Uncle Hilly Rodgers* Coppermine, and is suppo sed to he a -imitation of the same vein. Uncle Hilly end Mr. Hall were to take it up in con nection, with avew to working it alternately. The same vein of copper ore, Mr. Smith learned from a gen tleman who came down with him from the town of El Dorado, extends la a direct line to Grizzly Flat, in El Dorado county. The Chinaman who went over to Carson Valley from this State, some months since, were at work in Gold Canon, and were making good wages. Fight vi Ith (lie 1*11( River Indians. The Vreka Unitm, learns by a letter to that place, that on the 27th tilt., Lieut. Crook returned to Fort Crook, from a ten days’ scout in the east of the " Big Valley.” The first part of their scout was dry and unsuccess fid, as the Indians had all left the valley and its vicinity. On the seventh day oat, they came on a single track, and following it some distance, killed one Indian. The Indians of an adjacent ranrheria hoard the report of their guns, fled, and all escaped to the mountains. On the evening of the eighth day they espied a small camp In the edge of a large valley, some alxty-five miles east of the Fort, struck camp the next morning at two o’clock, and made a day light attack. The Indians were camped under a rocky ledge, and when the troop* got immediately over them, one of them gave the alarm, when to the surprine of Lieut, (hook, nearly or quite one hundred and fifty warrim-s sprang up and broke for the plain*. In the gallant Lieutenant’s own language, the troops “pitch ed in pell-mell, and had a glorious fight, leaving twenty-three dead outlie ground, that they knew of. and nine wounded ; betides, there must have been a great many more killed and wounded that they could not tell anything about.” If his provisions had held out he would have killed many more, hut lie was obliged to hurry off the field and return to camp. Disgraceful Muss at Sacramento. —Sam. Brannan ami Ned McGowan were tried last Friday morning, before the Recorder, at Sac ramento, on a charge of disturbing the peace. Brannan asked Ned to drink—Ned refused, and called him a strangler—whereupon Sam went out and armed himself, and returned and drank alone. After remaining a short time, j he started to leave, when some one in the room used the term “ strangler.” Sam asked, “ who says lam a strangler?” Some words ensued between McGowan and Brannan, whereupon Sam endeavored to draw his pistol, hut after a desperate struggle McGowan obtained the pistol, and was at the same moment arrested by Constable Virgo. The parties were after wards tried and acquitted. Retirement. —Col. Rust, we are informed, has retired from the editorial chair of the Ma rysville Expresn , after six years labor. Mr. J. R.

Cinpkny. —We would direct Hie especial attention of Invalids to a perusal of Dr. L. J. Ciapkay’s advertisement, to be found in another column of tliis paper, in order to place the services of a learned and experienced physician within their reach. S<» much ill has been indicted on the human family from the pernicious and ignorant practices of empirics, that it seems as if we were filling a bounden duty to make known w here Judicious relief can he obtained. To those unfortunate enough to suffer from the effects of sexual or private diseases, or their ill treatment, we cheerfully commend I>r. L. J.
