Topic* of (he Dnv.
1 lie continued dry “weather, nl
v 1
though favorable to the miners in
tliis immediate vicinity, is, doubtless
;i serious misfortune to the majority
"t farmers and miners throughout the
State, \\ herever diggings are gup
plied with water fJoni ditches, the
drouth is rather beneficial tlxm oth
erwise, the fact that the heavy rains
arc liable to cause breaks in the
ditches and otherwise incommode the
miners. River mining particularly,
is facilitated hy the absence of .stor
my weather, but as has been the
ease for two or three seasons past,
tiie early rains of September and
October cause such a rise in the
mountain streams as to sweep away
flumes and dams, thus rendering the
subsequent dry weather unavailable
to most of those as bo are engaged in
this precarious species of mining.
On the other hand, a large proper
tion of the mines throughout the
State arc dry diggings, entirely de
pendent upon the rains for a neces
sary supply of Avatcr to Avork them,
and are so situated as to he unap
proachable by ditches or other arti
ficial means for bringing it on the
ground. All sorts of methods have
been tried to separate the gold from
the dirt, but have all proved failures,
and it is generally conceded that Ava
ter is as useful and indispensable to
mining operations us’it is to Steam
boats. Another such a winter as
the last *that of ’55 and ’SO) would
prove ruinous to many of our moun
tain traders and miners, and to the
entire agricultural community thro’-
out the State. As delightful as the
present weather is, avc would willingly
exchange about a month of it for a
rain storm of that length, and would
like to bargain for about two smart
showers a week for the next six
months.
The independent and opposition
press arc greatly troubled about the
election of United States Senators.
Now they have lost all show of elect
ing Gov. Foote, or other K. N. bro
ken-doAvn-at-homo migratory office
hunters, they arc devoting their at
tion to selection of candidates for
the legislature to elect to that Impor
tant office. The Post, r published at
San Francisco, w hich, we believe, is
a religious-K.-N.-Fremont sort of an
organ, announces, with seeming au
thority, that J. W. Denver will be
presented before the Legislature as
a candidate for that office. Mr. I),
has done very well since he has been
iu Congress, and if he chooses to pre
sent himself as a candidate, let him
do so. Rut his real friends should
not subject him to the mortification
defeat, and AVO trust those papers
that have put him forward as a can
lidate, will not insist upon '.'is elec
tion, unless he desires them to do so.
In that event let the consequences be
upon his own head. No one worked
more earnestly for hi# election to
Congress than ourselves, and we are
willing to admit that ho has made a
good member. Rut the Democracy
well remember Ins letter to Governor
Bigler when he left for Washington,
and also the charges which were
brought against him at the last Dem
ocratic State Convention, of his con
nection with the K, N, order, These
are •Matters of history, and as we
are informer), susceptible of positive
proof. The Democracy of northern
California want a Senator who is
radically and thoroughly democratic
all the while. And we sav to the
meddling opposition press in the
southern portion of the State, “hands
ofl!” The Democracy can make
their own selections, without the
promptings of .papers like the Post
Alta. They had better turn their
attention to the selection of one Sen
ator from their own portion of the
State, or the pleasing duty of select
ing one for them may devolve upon
the democracy of the northern portion
of the State.
The Altamcntions the names of
M< ssrs. Latham and Washington,
and Messrs. CJw in and Weller, and
Col. llenly. These gentlemen are
all good and able Democrats, who
have rendered important service to
the party during the late canvass, as
well as in former ones, but a year or
so residence in Sacramento, does not,
in our estimation, entitle them to be
considered [permanent residents of
the northern district. Should the
agitation of this question continue
for a year or so more, we are fearful
that the southern portion of the state
would not contain talent sufficicicnt
to form one Senator, and both would
have to be chosen from the north.—
We arc confident that the Legislature
elect will choose one Senator from
the north, and that they will go
above the Capitol City to find the
northern portion of California.
How is it. — We never get the Butte
Record until it is two or three days
old. It is one of our most uselul ex
changes, and we want it while fresh.—
Express.
The fault must certainty he either in
the Orovillo or Marysville Post office,
for the llecord is mailed regularly every
day to all our exchanges throughout
the State. Thank you dear Express
for the good opinion you have of our
usefulness, and allow us to say in re
turn, that the Senior ami ourself, the
Sub, (sometimes spelt with a C,) have
a regular set-to every morning to get
the first glance at your valuable paper,
and being somewhat the stronger of the
two, ho sometimes cleans us oat, and
cuts us off with the Herald We will
endeavour to provide for your regular
receipt of the liecord in future.
A Skt-to between two sons of the Emer
ald Me came off yesterday afternoon on
Downer Street, just opposite the I*. O. We
did not learn the origin of the difficulty, but
wc did see the fight, and a short and
sweet affair it was. The combatants “haul
ed off their coats and rolled up l hcir
sleeves,” and one of them found it a ‘hard
road to travel”—to victory, for after receiv
ing two or three “sockdollngers” in the
mug, he roared lustiiy that he was satisfied,
but he made a mis-statcmcn&r for as soon as
he was on his legs again, he commenced
abusing bis opponent and declaring that be
hadn't had fair play, and said opponent,
seemingly desirous to settle the mutter sat
isfactorily to all parties, pitched into him
again, and administered the finishing
strokes admirably. Tiie vanquished was
the challenging party.
At Largf:.—John Gardner, who was ar
rested as being one of Tom Hell’* accompli
ces has been admitted to bail in the sum of
one thousand dollars, and released from the
jail, wheiein he had been con
fined siu*co his arrest. Gardner has beeu
for a long .'me the paramour of the notori
ous Madame Ctfle. whose house the robbers
are said to have made their rendezvous.—
This woman is the wife of Cole who was sent
fjj tfoe fetata penitentiary about two years
rinoc fof tb* crime of manslaughter.
Dkatu.— ■ A man by the name of Charles
Johnson died at the Hotel. Tuesday
afternoon, about fir* o’clock. Hi* disease
was TypMd fever, fit gas fry#* Walworth
Count/, WWo»i»,
A Cast or Mode*.— The Detroit Free
Press states that a M Jewett, of Chelsea.
Michigan, a short time since In consequnce
of an intense mental excitement, produced
hy rending in the newspapers the details of
cruelty inflicted upon, and the death of hi.-
brother, ut the hands of the border rutli.u.s
in Missouri. The post master at Chelsea
attended the funeral, and took with him a
letter just received at his office for the de
ceased, and poet marked Kanzas. Ho was
not able to present it until at the grave,
when opening it it was ascertained tube
from the supposed murdered man, slating
that ho and his wife were well, were com
fortably and happily located, and had not
been hung, arrested or in any way molested.
Cigars. —Anybody that wants n fust rate
cigar, and wants to be waited on by the
most polite and accomplished little fellow in
Orovillc, aught to go to “Curley,” who
keeps all kinds of tobacco fixins in the old
Bank Exchange Corner.
Leo Bail. —Pat Smith, the ruffian who
committed the unprovoked assault on Mr.
Miller, the night before election, was releas
ed from jail on Tuesday, the charge on which
ho had been incarcerated having been with
drawn, and was granted a now trial before
Justice Elliott. He was found guilty of as
sault and battery and fined fifty dollars, and
F. M Smith, Esq., his lawyer, becoming re
sponsible for his re-appearance, he was
turned loose, and allowed to try and make
“a raise” of the amount of the fine. Some
of his friends subscribed a part of the re
quired sum, and the rascal, watching his
opportunity, left them in the lurch. Search
is being made for him.
Contested Election. —We understand
that .Mr. J. V. Jones intends contesting the
election for Constable of Ophir Township,
inasmuch ns the holding of a precinct at
“Squire's House,” was not in accordance
with the law which provides that all places
for holding polls except m incorporated
cities, must be removed one mile from each
other. Admitting the contested precinct,
and Smith Gambrel is elected, but with it
excluded Jones is the lucky man. Such is
the report only.
The Robinson Family played the Little
Treasure and Betsey Baker last night. As
a matter of course, the playing was excel
lent and the audience large and delighted.
The graceful dancing of La Petite Susan and
Master William wa| beautifully sylph-like;
and as the Little Treasure and Betsey Ba
ker, the “Fairy Star” quite outdone herself.
Mr. Robinson, Mr. and Mrs. Thayer, Mrs.
Soycr, and the entire company in fact, ac
quitted themselves admirably. Not to see
the Robinson Family, is to miss seeing one of
the nine wonders of the world. They go
to Forbcstown to day.
Railroads in the South.— The Virginia
and Tennessee railroads, designed to form a
complete rialway connection from Nashville
through Knoxville and Lynchburg, to Wa
shington city, Baltimore, Philadelphia and
New York, will, it is said, bo completed
within two or three years.
The Ouadaloupe Mink — Mr. Bland, the
Assessor of Santa Clara county, in his re
port, says; “The Guadaloupe quicksilver
mine is situated in a ridge of mountains only
nine miles from San Jose. This mine has
been undeveloped until within the past year,
at which time it changed ownership, and is
now in active operation, having about one
hundred men employed, and, judging from
its daily increasing richness, bids fair soon
to prove, in point of wealth, second to none
in the world.’’
Dead. — Dr. Auckland, the eminent geol
ogist, died in England, recently. For six or
seven years before his death, his mind was
deranged
Calieoania Paper Mill.— The first pa
per mill in California is now completed It
is situated sis miles from Tomalcs Bay,
upon a small creek, the water of which will
bo used as the motive power. It is owned
by V. B. Post and Samuel B. Taylor, uu'J
capable of manufacturing a ton of merch
antable paper per day. The intention is
chiefly to manufacture printing paper, al
though the machinery is capable of turning
out the coarser articles, such as wrapping,
Ac.
Cotton —A comparison between Ameri
can and East India Cotton shows a difference
of one hundred per cent in favor of the for
mer. The cotton of the East Indies con
tains twenty-five per cent. of waste, while
that of the United States contains only
twelve and a half. The fibre of the latter
also excels that of the former.
Debt or Mexico. —The public debt of
Mexico is as follows: Foreign debt, $51,-
208.250; domestic debt, £4(1,000,000 ; dip
lomatic conventions, $11,530,502. Total—
-3102,088.912, These debts entail an annual
charfie of #3,938,300 on the finances of
Mexico.*
Severe ow CvlikobmA.—The following
cut at Californians, is taken from the New
Vork Mercury. It is very severe and has
too much truth in it to be very palatable:
California, by the votes cast in the State,
is the eleventh in the confederacy, but tak
ing the prpubiiii.n is only the twenty-fourth
state in the Union. Thi* is caused by there
being mure fuil grown meu in pr«*p»a lion to
the population than in any other State The
Ualilornims are disj used to grumble at ti e
condition of affairs, beoiuse it reduces flic
influence of the Stale in tiic Electoral Col
lege, where it has only four votes; but says
the Philadelphia Ledger and we entirely
agree with it, they cm alter their condition
themselves much more readily than the con
stitution can do it for them. Instead of
running a way from their wi vis in I lie Allan ■
tic States, us many of tlnni do. they should
lake them with them, and thus contribute
to destroy the inequality that exists he
tween the voting ] • j ulntion of the State and
its representation
