Pioneer Circus. —We learn from the agent, Mr arles C. Pell, that Rowe & Co ’a Pioneer Circus will visit Oroville in a very short time, A Runaway, almost —A team came very nigh getting up a running match on Saturday. They hud got a very respectable Hart up Myers’ street, but was brought to front cf the Recoed office, without doing any particular damage, Know Nothincism.—The news by the !ast steamer is a death knell to the hopes of the Know Nothing party. There is not the least possible show of success for their par. ty in the approaching contest. They will not amount to a respectable faction. They have fallen beneath the dignity and im portance of Abolitionism. It has fallen into the evening of its day,*cre yet the morning of its life has begun. To make use of u sig nificant phrase, it has “ gone in.” “ I *aw from the Poach when the morning was shi olng i bark o'er the waters rule clorbusly on ; ; 'time when the sun o’er that beach was declining, tfie baik was still there, but the waters were gone." Hall at the U. S—Cards have hern issued for a Ball to be given at the U. S. in Tburs ay evening next. The list ot Man agers is beaded by don. I*. 11.

Gf course every thing will be re- Sere, and those who wish to indulge in the art tßipsioliorean,' will have an o{ portunity to do eo to their entire satisfaction. Mr. Harris, of the Cal. Stage Co., has our thanks for Marysville and Sacramento pa per.«.» The Miners Meeting. —This was one of the biggest fizzles that we have been called upon to notice for some time —not in want of numbers, but in the manner in which the proceedings were conducted. There was a respectable number in attendance, and they were good lacking, intelligent, and fine feeling fellows, the whole of them. In fact every body present seemed to feel un usually good natured. At the hour appoint ed for the execu no, assemblage of the meeting, some one mounted on the head of a barrel, and nominated Judge Bean us chairman, and 'Mr. Buffum as Secretary. Judge Bean was non rsl inventut just at that particular time, and the first speaker again arose and nominated a Mr. I'owcrs as chairman. He was unanimously elected, there being but one side of the question put. A committee was then appointed, consisting of Maj. Switzer, and two other gentlemen whose names we did not leaaa, to draft re solutions expressive of the sense of the meet ing' The Major announced that the reso lutions would be ready in ten minutes. The committee soon returned, and the Secretary mounted the barrel, and read the platform. It started out with a whereas, about the corruption that had been manifested in pub lic affairs, and then followed a string of re solutions, one of which we thought was very good, and wo should be glad to see miners all over the state, adopt a similar one and adhere to it, and that was a resolve, not to support any but honest men for office. Af ter the resolutions were read, the President arose and requested those in favor of their passage, to say, aye! There was a response by several voices, and without putting the negative, declared the resolutions adopted, amid great cries of “call the nays,” “call the nays!” The President then requested that those in favor of adjourning, would signify the same by saying “aye,” A hearty response from a few voices, and the President declar ed the meeting adjourned, amid great cries of “no! no!” Maj. Switzer, then mounted the tub, and made a most thrilling and eloquent speech, which our reporter has given ns follows: SPEECH OF MAJ. SWITZER. ‘‘Gentlemen —Ihavenothing to say.alll have to say, is expressed in the resolutions The resolutions express all I have to say.— It I should make a speech, it would only be a repetition of the resolutions.” He retired from the stand, greatly exhaus ted by bis Webstcrian effort. The proceedings were evidently cut and dried by a few persons, for what object we know not and care less. The meeting was evidently disposed to humor them. They resolved to publish their proceedings, but when some use made a motion to publish them in the llcevrd, the President forgot to put the question. Improvements.— Preparations for the erection of the brick block on the corner of Myers and Montgomery streets, arc pro gressing rapidly. The cellar has been ex cavated. Garriott throws water to the spot, and sand piles find mortar beds, are accu mulating in the vicinity. The workmen will probably commence this morning the labor of raising the edifice. The enterprising proprietors.Measrs. Downer, Garlow & Ritch ie, will have a magnificent building, and we hope it may prove sufficiently profitable to induce others to follow their example, and continue such substantial improvements, until Oroville is lost in a forrest of brick and mortar. ‘‘La Sux a Day!”— That gentle little mob bie, the town talk, in connection with one or two Ki-Yi, and Black Republican organs, announce their intention of keeping the fact before the people, that Judge Lott has dis charged several Vigilant disciples from the employment of the government. If they ad vise many of the fact, they will have to ad vertise in something besides Ki-Yi, Black Republican Vigilant organs. It appears to hurt the mobociacy awfully, to think that Judge Lott has ordered their tools from handling Uncle Sam’s money. Perhaps it prostrates some of their benevolent designs. The Waoon Road across the Plains.— The United States Senate has passed a bill appropriating dOu.OhO to build a military or wagon fond, from Missouri, via Salt Lake and Carson Valley, to California. It was supposed that the House of Representatives would piss the bill without difficulty. This is good news for California, and particular ly for Sacramento, as that city must be the terminus of the route. Recovered. —The body of Adam Ross, who was accidentally urowned a lew days since, at the ‘-Rough k Rea ly” claim, was recovered on Saturday, and decently inter red. lie was a German, and about ”1 years of age Butte County Jails—We use the pin* ral number, fur Butte county at present bus two jails, with fifteen prisoners in one and one in the other. One of these jails is lo cated at Bidwell, the present county seat, and the other at Hamilton, where the conn* ty seat was formerly located, "fc have the third jail, now in process of erection, in Oro ville, and, like other tenements in our city, it will be occupied us soon as completed. The Jail business in Butte county has been brisk since the Vigilance Committee have been ;in session in San Francisco. It was tolerably brisk at one time last winter, the Sheriff having nine prisoners on hand at one time; but never as high as sixteen be fore. This extra expense the tax-payers ol the county may thank the Vigilance jCom mittce fur. Our citizens may also thank the Mobiles of Fan Francisco fur the organized banfls of robbers and thieves now in our midst, who slate that they have been driven from San Francisco. Why don’t San Fran cisco convict and send her rascals to the | State’s Prison, instead of turning them , loose upon the interior, to rob and murder I our citizens, and to be convicted at the ex i peuse of other communities. Why should i our citizens support the Vigilance Commit tee of San Francisco, if it has the effect to I drive their rascals into our midst, to plun { der and murder our citizens' 1 Let every community take care of its own rascals. The mobiles of San Francisco have no more right to let their rascals loose to prey upon the miners of the interior, than a man has i to turn a rabid dog ’oose upon his neighbor. - ’ ‘ Humors ok thk Canvass. — Mr. Little i julmsaidin the Philadelphia Convention, he would “ sacrifice all things to secure the i election of Fremont.” No doubt there will | be great sacrifices of big Johns, little Johns i and demijohns, and if Col. Benton be any j thing of a prophet, the whole “ farce” will | close with the sacrifice of John Fremont him* I self. I There will be not only paper pellets but a pellet of flesh and blood ia this canvass. It is announced that Miss Sarah Pelletof Sy* i racuse, N. Y., is to take the stump fur the “ Republican” nominees. She has peddled books in the cars, and has become “ well ac quainted with the plans and operations of I Southern men,” by living in Central Ameri ca and California. It is fair to presume that this gentle maid* en will devote her patriotic efforts, fur the most part, to the “ po leg-a-my” plank in the Philadelphia platform. We trust she will vary her performances by riding the woolly horse barebacked and astradle, and thus increase the novelty of her political labors. Go it, Hilly. K N Prospects. —The Sacramento A merican thinks the K. N. prospects in Cali fornia are bright, and that they will carry State this fall. Now, the fact is, the Republican party is much more formidable in this State than the Know Nothing. Rut there is nothing like keeping up their cour age and exhibiting a proper spirit. The great Central organ is determined not to be oast down, notwithstanding the Republican party have swallowed them up. Like the fellow who had been sent to bed when his wife had company, but wiio, being after wards found with his eye at the key-hole, swore by bis valorous stars, ‘‘ as long as he had the spirit of a man, he would peek." Dust. —Oroviile is the dustiest place in the whole state of California. The streets are filled with it, and it finds its way into every house in town, and overspreads every thing. Water carts cannot keep it down wind cannot blow it away. The town is dust itself. If any one doubts it, let them go to McWilliams & Tymeson’s Ranking House, and see how the dust accumulates. Soi.n and Gone.— Our “French friend'* Joseph Rosenthal, has sold his Jewelry es tablishment, and wiil soon take his depart ure from Ororille, to try his luck in the mountains. • Duron Charley at Panama. —A pass enger by the Sonora informs the San Fran cisco Bulletin that C. P Duane is swelling mighty big at Panama. Duane went on board the Sonora the day she sailed, with all the flash of his Montgomery street days, but dressed a little after the Granadian fashion, wearing a large Panama hat. Ho visited the vessel in company with a captain from a man-of-war lying ut Panama, and several other gentlemen. They drunk wine togeth er in the cabin. Mr 11. R. Gam hams, will accept our thanks for the Marysville Inquirer and a file of Sun Francisco papers. To Mr J. R Watson, we arc indebted for the California Kxprr *, Sacramento Union, S. F. Chronicle, Bulletin and Alta. Fremont’s chance* op Success. — Many of the papers are discussing the chances of Fremont in November next The latest po litical intelligence from the Atlantic States renders it quite certain that Fillmore will, voluntarily or otherwise, leave the track, and the Contest will lie between Buchanan and Fremont. In order to elect Fremont lie must carry all the free States en masse. with the exception of 11 votes the exact number belonging to Pennsylvania. If he lose Pennsylvania, therefore, he can afford to lose nothing else. The National Era , an old and able frcc soil paper, proves conclusively that for a mere hope of temporary success, Fremont was put forward at the expense of better men, and then figures out his defeat thus. Hear it: “ Mr. Buchanan will receive, wo presume, the fwhole electoral vote of the South, or one hundred and l venty votes. Let us sup pose that the nominee of the Philadelphia Convention shall obtain the electoral votes j of New England, New York, Ohio, Michigan, ! and Wisconsin ; the debatcable States then will be Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Indiana, Illinois, lowa and California. As for carry ing California fur the Republican candidate, the supposition is wild That Ste’e i? slave ry-ridden— both the Whig and Democratic parties there have always been distinguish ed by their subserviency to slavery. We might as well hope for Missouri. In Penn sylvania ns against Fremont. Buchanan would in all probability command the en I tire Democratic vote, and a large portion of the old conservative Whig vote. Now, with his one hundred and twenty votes, he would need only Pennsylvania and New Jersey, or Pennsylvania and California; the lust two would raise his vote to 150, one more than necessary to elect. The available candidate, ns against Buch anan, must be able to beat him in his own | Ftate, and carry New Jersey.” Political Speech or an Old Line Whig ! —At the great Democratic ratification racet- I ing, held at Hartford, Connecticut, a few 'days since, among the prominent speakers ! was Mr. Chapman, an Old Lino Whig, la | the course of his remarks he said : “ Why, sir, where shall 1 go under such 1 circumstances as these? Where cun I go, and where can every man who cares for nis I country go? 'lhc Democratic party with its broad national principles, is the only party that we can join, and honestly cany out our views in a contest like this Here we are—some of us certainly —and 1 think there are many throughout the country. [Great cheering.] Here we will act in this snug gle—if it be a struggle—and to me the te sult does not appear doubtful. Hut, whilst 1 shall vote for Buchanan and Brcckenridge, with a strict regard to what 1 believe to be for the best interests of the country, there are two things that I will not promise— fir *t, I will not promise to make any political speeches in this campaign ; second, 1 will not promise not to do so ” Miraculous E-cape with Like. —On Friday last, Mr. H. Duwcns fell from the op of a shaft, thirty feet deep, on Gold Hill, (which he had just ascended,) and struck on a tub at the bottom, receiving several severe bruises, but none, it is believed, mor tally dan-To-ono. Stephen A. Douglass on Vigilance Committee Principles. —ln a late speech of Senator Douglass?we find the following passage. The application is easily made : “ The principles of the Black Hepublicans is to obey such laws as they like, and repu diate those they do not like. They claim protection under the Constitution, and refuse to yield obedience to it. The difference be tween them and the Democracy is, that the Democracy support the Constitution in all its parts, with equal fidelity, without »cfer cnce to whether they like it or di-like it. It is no excuse for a man to say that lie does not like a law, and therefore will not obey it. Did they ever know a criminal who liked the law ? Law breakers never like the punish ment that follows the act. Law-abiding men have no lour of the supremacy of the law; and the question to be decided in this contest is, whether a law made in pursuance of the Constitution and as expounded by the Courts, shall prevail, or whether such a law is naught, and cowardly leaders shoot down the officers with impunity.’* Organized Hano ok House Thieves.— There is an organized band of horse thieves in Honey Lake Vallay. Recently Mr. Har bour, of Carson Valley, and Mr. Wood, of Shasta, were shot at by them, and both se riously wounded. It is feared Mr. Buibour cannot live. The citizens of the Valley we re, at last accounts, organizing themselves into a Vigilance Committee, and were determiu c i to exterminate the hand. Benton on Buchanan. —The Missouri Democrat reports Benton os saying at Cin cinnati, ‘ As for Buchanan, he was never a leading man in any very high sense, hut a man ol lair talents, an I a very pure man in both his political and private life He is eminently a man of peace The e ffect ot his nomination would be to restore peace to the country.” Well Forgotten —The Binghampton Dt nwci ill says : V'ltt - ~Lrm Inn in enumeiating the American cities which the Britishers could take -“just as easy,” in case of war between trie two countries, ’eavezoul New Orleans altogether. We can not account f r the omis-ion. except on the ground that they took it in 1 814. and don’t think it necessary to take it ever again.” A Worthy Advocate, —A correspondent of the press, who ha# been advocating the cause of the mobitet of S. Francisco, over the signature of •• A 1$ and denounced the opponents of the Committee in the most scurrilous manner, has been discovered by the Shasta Hi publican tc be a man who was indicted a few months since for murder and escaped conviction only by a quibble :of the ls»\v. The Republican says of him : “ A few months since, the said A IS indicted by the Grand Jury of thccouuty ot Shasta, for the crime ot murder, alleged t<> ; have been committed upon one Williams— -1 A warrant for his arrest was duly issued, and the said A. It. fled—lie skulked about l our hills and avoided the ( friceis ot the law. Afterwards the said A. it. • neak‘ 1 into town ; the back way and gave himself up When i the case of the “ l\ople vs. A It , indict ment for murder," was called on for trial. 1 lie studiously avoided an investigation ot the merits ol the case. A motion \uis made that the indictment be set aside, on the ground that one of the grand Jurors who presented the indictment was an alien. The mini accused of alienage was brought f< r ward. lie made oath that he was a citizen, but because lie could not present to the Court the records of St. Louis, Missouri, this man A. I! . was set at liberty, before he lett the Court room, h iwcvcr, in open Court, by his attorney, he solemnly pledged him self to the law—he pledged himsell that he would not only not violate the law again, but that ever afterwards he would uphold and maintain it.” Buckeye Claim. —This claim last week realized the snug little sum of &1.881 111, with two men throwing into the sluice,— The claim is working seven hands in all. That is pay that is hard to beat.' HOTEL ARKIAVLS Orleans Hotel, Aug. ‘-id, IHsrt. .1 Hnswt 11, Nicholas. t. II Kpbarn, do, (’ N Tuley, (In, M M Larruwny, Surramenlo (Vo Day.
