Topic* of Hie Day.
Tm; Prospects fur “good times
coming” are brighter now than they
have been in many months. Heavy
Miows have fallen in the mountains
and a very considerate min has re
freshed the Valley, llusy times arc
very reasonably anticipated for the
coming spring, when the snows shall
melt and furnish the greatly needed
supply of w ater, so long and ear
nestly wished for by the Miners, and
the swelling streams shall irrigate the
rich fields ami meadows «of the val
ley.
v
Although the nrany miners in the
immediate vicinity of Orovillc, are
amply supplied w ith water from the
great ditch that terminates here, yet
there is a vast area of mining lands in
this neighborhood out of reach of
water from tire ditch, that will re
main unoccupied until heavy rains
and melting snows supply the natural
water courses. Spring has been
fondly looked forward to hy our mi
v *
vers and business men, us the season
when all these placers can be worked,
and in proportion as the mining pop
ulation increases, so will the trade of
Oroville increase, and with these
diggings fairly opened, there will
certainly bo a great influx of the
producing and consuming classes,
whose trade is bound to centre here.
Lesser towns may spring up about
vs, but the bulk of their trade will
come here, furnished as our merch
ants will soon be, with the means of
competing with those of Marysville
and Sacramento in selling their
goods.
In the Sacramento Union of the
“fith appears anotlior communication
from “an unwavering democrat.”
This time ho fires into the distin
j:.fished ex-senator Dr. Gwin, and, in
Ids own estimation, lias destroyed the
few chances that the Doctor had of
a re-election. The impudence and
self-inflation displayed by this ‘‘un
wavering democrat,” arc disgusting to
all sensible men, and the adroit man
ner in which the humbugging old
“r O
Union vouches for his character and
standing as a Democrat, is worthy
the attention of those who would
become proficient in political decep
tion, and still maintain a character
for morality and candor. The Union
says :
“For 1 lie benefit of those who have *o intimated,
wo will Miy that "An unwavering Democrat" is not
a candidate for I'nited Male* Senator—ha* never
been mi ned in connection therewith—i* what lie
repn-M'iiU himself to be “an unwavering Democrat,”
v iio never *)>lit hi* ticket—mid wbo never, on any
oceii-km, peddled bogus democratic tickets unelec
tion day.”
A very neatly worded denial, in
deed. “Never split his ticket.” Af
ter having “his ticket” printed to or
der, w ith names from each party up
on it, he could never consistently
consider himself “unwavering,” if he
should afterwards “split his ticket.”
The I niou is clever —dem clever —
and so is its correspondent, hut they
will not deceive Democrats into be
lieving them honest in what they
may say concerning tho election of
Democratic Senators. They may be
sba p as the shears they use, but
they cannot cut out Senators for the
democratic party to elect. “Never
peddled bogus democratic tickets on
elect.mi day.” Well, a man could
not i fleet much peddling tickets on
election day. To be effective, they
Should be peddled just previous to
the “election day,” and, judging
from the result of the election in
Sacramento, we have no doubt but
that this “unwavering” traitor “ped
dled” “his ticket” previous to “elec
tion day.” He dare not deny bolt
ing ths Democratic ticket, and that
is something in favor of a person who
is guilty of the political bad faith
charged upon this “unwaveringdem
ocrat.” The Union says that this
“unwavering Democrat” has never
been named in connection with the
office of Senator. We learn that
this is a mistake, as a man named
Maloney kept this “unwavering dem
ocrat” frou’bulling a former demo
cratic ticket by informing him that
next to Broderick and Gwin, he was
the prominent candidate for the
Senatorial toga. This so flattered
the vanity of this “unwavering dem
w O
ocrat,” that ho .set to work to kill off
Broderick and Gwir, and has just
despatched them with his two com
munications to the Union.
If the enemies of the Democracy
think they can distract the party
and prevent an election hy such shal
ow scheming as exhibited by tho
Union and its correspondent, they
will find themselves wofully disap
pointed. The Democracy of Messrs.
Broderick and Gwin has never been
at so low an ebb as to compel them
to proclaim it through a Know-Noth
ing journal.
Adult Baptism at Stockton. —The rite
of adult baptism was performed at Stockton
last Sunday afternoon, by the Rev. Mr At
wood, of the Baptist Church. The Stockton
Argus says, that u large number of persons
assembled on the bank of the slough near
the brewery, and witnessed the ceremony.
Several young men, anxious to obtain a
conspicuous position, ventured from the
shore in a small skiff and were capsized, cre
ating much merriment among those who
witnessed them struggling from the shore.
Baptism was conferred upon five persons,
throe of whom were ladies,converts in the
revival at present going on at the Baptist
Church in Stockton.
Bull Pkn. —Ex-constable John Jones is
erecting an amphitheatre at the lower end
of tho town which he intends devoting to
bull-baits, and similar exhibitions. Mr,
Jones is confident that the bull-opera will
flourish in Orovillc.
A Present. —We yesterday received the
following polite note accompanied with a
most choice box of prime Figarros :
Marysville, Nov. 2Cth.
Editors Butte Record :
Genllemeu, herewith I send yon a box
of genuine Figarros, commending them to
your consideration. 1 venture to say they
arc superior in quality and flavor to any
cigars that can be found anywhere north of
San Francisco
1 am gentlemen, yours respectfully,
H. A.
In acknowledging the receipt of, and re
turning our thanks for this generous pres
ent, we are constrained to pronounce them
by far the finest cigars we have ever seen in
Orovillc.
Still they come. —Wc understand that
a lot on Montgomery street was purchased
yesterday by one of the principal druggists
oi* San Francisco, who intends erecting
thet eon amagnificient fire proof brick struc
ture, in which he proposes to open the most
extensive stock of drugs, medicines, paints,
oils, perfumery, dye-stuffs, etc , ever seen
north of Sacramento May the undertaking
prove successful. Such liberal, enterpris
iog meu deserve the patronage of the Oro
villians
Petrified Tree.—A petrified tree was
found in Santa Rosa valley last week, at the
depth of twenty-five feet below the surface
The parties were engaged in sinking it well.
The Old Mountaineer says that tbc
pork-packing season h ie commenced in Plu
mas county. One firra Ims put up seventy
five barrels and another sixty.
Ti'ou msk Covxtv Revenue. —The to
tal revenue collected in Tuolumne county
for the past year was $y0,700.
The Ml tiers Strike.
The strike that was talked of among some
of the miner* who objected to pay the ditch
company’s price for water, seems to have
ended in smoke, at any rate so wc have been
informed. There was no meeting on Mon
day os advertised, and we are led to believe
that the majority of miners hereabout are
satisfied with the company’s prices, knowing
the immense outlay that has been made in
building the ditch * without which Orovillc
never would have had an existence and the
great gold fields that are now supporting a
population of three thousand miners would
still remain undeveloped of their richness,
and with no means at hand to make them
what they now are, the best average dig
gings in the state, even after paying the
price demanded for water.
Ditch companies and all other* that en
gage in undertakings of similar magnitude,
may be denominated monopolies, but with
out their aid few public works whereby com
munities are benefitted, would be put into
operation, aod unless capitalists engage in
building ditches, the dry diggings of Cali
fornia will lie idle and unworked for many
days to come, and if men of money invest
their means in such enterprises, they have
a right to expect a fair interest on their in
vestments, though wc deprecate the estab
lishment of exorbitant prices, simply be
cause the control of any indispensable com
modity is in the hands of a few.
Those who have control of public works
should remember that their prices should be
in accordance witli the means of those from
whom (hey expect a revenue, and consumers
should be willing to pay a fair profit to those
who offer for sale what they need. Without
mines and miners, ditches would be worth
less, and without ditches the placer digging*
could only be worked a few months in the
year. Thus it behooves both the miner and
the ditch owner to display such n degree of
liberality and fairness in their dealings one
with another as may result profitably to
both parties.
A Tragedy. —Two Mexicans living at
Los Angeles, were rivals for flic good graces
of a senorita, and staked their chances on
the result of a duel. The one was armed
with a knife, the other with a slung shot;
he with the knife was victorious and laid his
opponent dead at his feet. The victor was
afterward shot dead while attempting to es
cape; and thus, the frail cause of the mis
hap was left without a lover.
Slander Suit. —ln relation to theCznp
kay libel case, the San Francisco correspond
ent of the Union writes as follows:
“ The libel suit, brought by Dr. Cznpkny
against J W. Walsh, proprietor of the Sun
day Varieties, and J. C. Young and J. 11.
Josselyn, was on trial yesterday before
Judge Frcelon. The suit has grown nut of
asciicsof articles published in the Varie
licit, attacking the professional reputation
of Dr. Czapkay, which the plaintiff believes
were published at the instigation of Young
and Josselyn. who arc in the same business
with him—the treatment of private diseases.
Able counsel are engaged on both sides, and
the case is attracting considerable attention,
as its decision will form an important pre
cedent in future cases.’’
Robert W. Pickersgill —This gentle
man, for several years a resident of this
city, arrived at San Francisco, from Walk
er’s army, on the last Nicaragua steamer, as
Colonel Pickersgill. Poor Bob, ii what we
have heard is true, has had a hard time of
it. He is now lying at the bay in a critical
state of health, having had both his feet
badly poisoned and been shot in the back
part of the neck by one of tlie escopettes of
the enemy. The ball is now being extract
ed, and if he recovers his health sufficiently
we shall doubtless have the pleasure of once
more seeing him in Marysville.—. Marysville
Inquirer.
Mysterious. —The Stale Journal con
tains a long account of the mysterious ab
duction of a little orphan girl from the
house of her guardians a Mr. and Mrs. Por
ter, residents of Sacramento. She was ta
; ken away on Sunday night, and was not
foand again until the following Tuesday. A
wan by the name of Charles Knight claims
| to be the father of the child and is supposed
to be the kidnapper. The matter will prob
ably be investigated by the proper author
ities.
Races to-day. —The race we mentioned
yesterday as having bw'j) made between Mr.
Humphrey's horse Bine Dick, and Mr. May
nard’s bay horse, is to come off to-day at 1
o’clock over Troughton's course about one
mile below the town - A good deal of sport
is anticipated.
The Capitol —The Capitol Commission
ers met yesterday and adjourned till 3
o’clock p. m. on Friday next, at which lime
they will proceed to final action in the mat
ter of the bonds of the contractor for the
erection of the Capitol.— Union.
Jaw-bone op an Alligator.— This ra
ther odd relic, dug up some months since in
Tuolumne county, U to be seen in Columbia.
A* poor a fist m he makes at poli
fixing, and Black Republican as he is,
McDonald of the Marysville Herald drops
his nonsense now and then, and writes some
very touching and exquisite little sketches.
The following sllfision to bye-gone days is
from his pen, (we suppose,) ns it appeared
as original in yesterday’s J/rra/d :
The llwrblngt r.
A long time ago, in the old stone church
they have built a new one, but it is not halt
so holy as the old nioss*co»ered wall —a long
time n o in the old stone church, we listened
to a man who “spake forth the words of
truth and soberness.” One Sunday morn
ing the preacher stood in his desk pleading
with the unseen-Ood until the tears ran
down his withered checks, lie prayed that
the “ Holy Spirit might come down from
Heaven on his people, and that the dry bones
might tremble in the living sepulchre we
remember the words now, t .r they fell upon
our childish car like the inspiration ol a
hoary-beaded prophet
During the prayer, a tame pigeon flew in
through the open window, and lit on the
preacher’s desk, and rubbed its bill against
his hands The old man laid his hands on
the bird, still continuing his petition, hut
his voice grew fainter and fainter, until the
words stuck in his throat and he sat down,
and the pigeon flew away. The congrega
tion sat down, too, and we could hear them
brca'he distinctly. The old women leaned
their heals on the backs of the seats, and
the men bent their eyes on the floor, too
stubborn to show any emotion. But O, how
every heart was palpitating! They knew
the bird came there by accident—that it was
a pet, but why should it, with its chaste and
snowy plumage, light then: I
Sporting. —The State Journal says: Fine
fat pigeons abound among the hills three or
four miles down Sutter Creek, near Volcano.
A good shot will soon bag a dozen or two.
Beer have also made their appearance, and
rendezvous in the chaparral.
Dkinks Like a Fish. —Recent London
papers report that an immense vnt in u
brewery at Langport, in England, burst the
other clay, and 2,500 gallons of strong beer
ran into the river Parrelt, the consequence
of which was that thousands of fish were
picked up in a stupefied state,
A Negro Attorney.— A. A. Hradlcy, a
negro lawyer, has had his name stricken
from the roll of attorneys in a Hoston court,
for malpractice. He was a convict in the
Sing Sing State Prison for two years for the
crime of seduction. He caused a man to be
arrested for a client, and let him off for
seventy dollars. He is Also charged with
the forgery of the name of Rufus Choate.
County Court.

Thursday, Nov. 27.
Goodhart vs H.tnnegan, Court ordered

Loose— A large delegation of our “ roys
tering blades" were letting themselves ex
cessively loose just about the small hours
yesterday morning and by way of creating
an excitement got up a sham fight, and
thereby deceived a certain deputy Sheriff
who was engage*! in playing a game of bil
liards at the time, who, bearing the rumpus,
made a rush, bareheaded cue in hand, to ar
rest the supposed belligerents, only to be
laughed at for his efforts. The revellers ran
all night.
Nevada County.— The oustanding scrip
of Nevada county amounts to $:54,000. In
addition to this, the bonds issued for build
ing the Court House amount to $30,()00,
which, however, are specially provided for.
The whole available revenue of the couuty is
£60,000.
Hard Up.—The editor of the Pacific Sen
tinel says he must Lave some money out of
his subscribers soon r or dry up altogether.
