BUTTE RECORD
GEO, H. t ROSETTE, Editor.
OROTILLE, SATURDAY, OCT. 2. 1858.
The atre To-Mobbow Night —The play-goers of
Omviile are to have a rich treat to-morrow night.
Mr**. Wood, who has kept the good people of the
down river cities in a roar for the past six or eight
months, will give us a taste of her qualities in some
of her favorite characters. The plays selected for
the occasion are ‘‘Somebody Else,** and “Betsy
Baker," b«th abounding in fun. and just such fun
as is her province to make. Among other things
she sings that .'arnous soag“My love he is a Sailure
Lad"—of which pathetic ballad she is the great
original songstress. Aa she is announced for one
night only. of course there will be a crowded house.
We hope -he may be prevailed upon to remain with
us at least one rV nights more than announced.
Qualified. —James K.'Lbng Esq. our County Sur
veyor came to town bn Saturday was sworn
into office. He is at present engaged on the “Old
Dominion Ditch,” above Mooreville—or Cascade
city rather—and will probably remain there until
the rainy neaso » nets in, when he will assume the
duties of his station in propiu peruana. We a*e
confident that Uncle Jimmy will make such a
veyor as Butte has long wan ted.
Overland Letters.— The postage from Califor
nia to St. Lou s, and other towns on the Atlantic
slope within three thousand miles of this Stale, is
three cents. Letters going overland should be
marked “Overland via Placerville” or “Overland
via Los Angelos.
Aurora BoreAlis.— The Whatcom paper, the
“Northern IJght” has been extinguished, and Mr.
Bahsnan, its editor, has returned to Sacramento.
Causes ; the high old stale of Frazer, the scarcity
of auriferous deposites in the lied of that
and the conse juent gone-in-itiveneas of Whatcom
andtne region round about. The cause of the au
rora borealis is difficult to determine, but the
cause of it/ di.-appeaiur. e!s hereby accounted for.
How among the Potts.— By ortfot of the Twelfth
District Court of Sun FfdncJso, Mary Ann Potts
has been granted a divorce from her hu-baad. Mrs.
Potts and Mr. Potts disagreed, l ulls biled over,
the two engaged in a gabie of poker to see which
should have the mastery, the thing got mix’ed up,
finally got into the law, and the injured female, as
it seems by the result, tvon “the pot" and ao the
matter ended.
Rogers vs. Rogers.— A divorce has been grant
eu in one of the San Francisco Courts, to Elizalieth
T. Rogers from her husband Patrick T. Rogers,
Which of the two is to blame in the matter we have
no means of knowing, but ot course, one or both of
then—probably Rogers.
Discovert.—A Frenchman named Leopold Nolf
sets forth in the Phare (French paper in San Fran
cisco', that he has discovered a method for separa
ting gold from sulphates and other substances, by
toeans of electricity. There is no calculating the
value of this discovery if it proves a practicable one
Branch Prison.— There is a strong probability
that a Branch Penitentiary will be built at Folsom,
the increasing number of criminals demanding ex
tra accommodations, and the convenience of hnlUl;
ing materials making Ehlsom a desirable locatiort.
New Steamer.—A small,light dr.»ft side-whedl
steamer, named the New Ca’edonia ha- been bnilt
and launched at Victoria. She is owned by Amer
ican-. but being on Queen Vic's land haste
acknowledge ht*r loyalty by flying the “blood-red
banner ol St. (?eor£e" from her jack staff.
Tub Drape.—The .Mountain Democrat says that
in the neighborhood of Placervillc andColoma the
grape is cultivated very generally. and with ranch
success. One gentleman at Coloma has raised a
large crop of Catawba grapes, a large proportion ot
which he intends converting into wine.
Satisfied Tha* astute and highly consistent
sheet, the Mountain Democrat, says that Tom Cor
win “i< satisfied’’ with the English Bill. This opin
ion is, doubtless, based upon the declaration of
Corwin lh?t ho was “satisfied" that the instrument
in question was the most contemptible concoction
ever sanctioned by its patron, of cerulean effulgence
notoriety.
Indians Dying. —The Crass Valley National
mentions thfc fact that may of the Penn Valley In
dians are dying off. The disease which is so fatal
to them is diarrhaea, The chief of the tribe, Capt.
Lute, died some two of three week* since.
Acquitted.—Patrick Kaler, accused of being con
cerned with his brother in the murder of Henry A.
BfSh, has bbefi acquitted by the jury that tried him
in the District Court for Sacramento county. John
Kaler, it will be remembered has been sentenced to
the Penitentiary for life.
Mule Killed.—As a mule team was going down
one of the hills above Dovrnicville one day last wt'£k
the “brake’’ of the wagon gave way and one of tlie
wheel* coming in contact with a mules leg he was
so mutillated that his owner in mercy knocked him
in the head to “put him out of misery.” So the Dem
ocrat tells us.
New Paper in San Fr ancisco.— A Sarr Ffan
risco correspondent of the National Democrat saya
I hat a paper to be named the Evening Telegram, is
shortly to appear in tha! city. W/n.H. Mantz,
formerly of the Mttrtstlße Inquirer, and latterly
Connected with Hulthhigs Magazine, is to be its
Id i tor.
Fire in Marysville.— We learn from the Na
tional Democrat that a fire broke out in a building
on the corner of A and Second streets, Marysville
about two o’clock on Tuesday morning which de
sired two frame houses and badly damaged two
other-*. Loss supposed to be trifling.
All about the Comet.— The papers all, both
great and small, from Los Angeles to Vrcka, all tell
a tale abont the trail of the long tail’d heaven streak
er. Now if folks were blind, 'twould be very kind
in these papers for to do ao; but when all can see,
well as yon or we. the news is no news at all oh.
You might as well say, “the sun ro>e yesterday"’
and that earth is a long way from it, as to write long
leaders, just to tell your seeing readers, that of lVe‘
nings they can look upon the comet.
Across the Seas.—Wm King killed William Ea
ton near Fort Ya e, by stabbing him with a knife
King was taken into custody, tried, found guilty of
manslaughter, and “tiansported beyond the seas”
for the remainder of his natural life.
Frazer’s Dead— A. Daily, Then. Pursell, Henry
Ward and Richard Haley were drowned near Hill’s
Bar on Frazer River. Three others. William Wil
son. James Staff and a Spaniard were likewise
drowned in that river near Fort Yale.
I'tsfErriTi Factlties of the Victorias.' —
They of Victoria V. 1., have discovertd the comet.
They have concluded from observations that it is
not rising but is gradually going sooth. The sen
sible straggler is hurrying away from Fraaer River
telling and dragging its own tail.
Arrived.— The Victoria Gerrrte chronicles the
arrival at that point, of John Nugent. Esq. the spe
cial agent of Government for New Csiidomu. If he
doesn't commence operations in behalf of *he Aroer
ican sojourners in that region, soon, we fear be will
find his services unreqmred.
Ikdiakb Bo tied TbC Portland (Oregon) Times
gives the details of a battle lately fought between
the C. S. troops under Col. Wright and a body of In
dians at Four Lakes. in which the latter were rout
ed and driven from the field. The troops escaped
without a man killed or wonnded, while about twen
ty of the Indians were slain.
Tie Doing! Of Our Redeemers.
Last Saturday was “big with fate.” ll was
the time set apart for the assembling of our
Redeemers. Early morn saw them gathering
together, holding sweet converse with die an- j
other and with their proselytes — in the spirit, j
and in the spirit receiving consolation and in
i spiration. The Redeemers were not numerous.
Many were called, but few were chosen. High
noon was passed ere the Heists assembled; at j
the boar of two the broid doors of the Coart !
i
House were th-own open and the work of Re
demption began.
Exercises opened with a short but fervent!
prayer from Brother Brown, and thereafter
Brother John Lambert in response to Brother ;
Brown's prayer took the highest seat in the
! synagogue, and being welcomed with shouts
|of praise from Brother Harris, proceeded to
address the assembled hosts. He dwelt npon
; the beauties and glories of redemption; he war
tied with fervor and Jove and zeal and
j praise for our venerated Redeemer in chief.
He spoke in a highly complimentary manner
of General Washington; he applauded Thomas
Jefferson; he represented mineral Slide ;he
dwelt npon the beauteous scenery of little
Butte. The feeble language of pen and ink
and types fails in the attempt to do justice to
the glowing eloquence of Brother Lambert.
He eclipsed himself; the windows were closed
that the sweet cadence of bis voice might not
die away too soon, and when he resumed his
seat upon the high stool of Redemption, lie was
i in a blaze of glory, and reeking with perspira
! tion! And
“At once there 'rose so wild a ye!I!’ T
I of applause from his fervent auditory, that yon
might have heard a pin drop—if it had not
been for the rude voice of John Davis without
disposing of a horse and crying “sold again.'.
As we remarked, brother Lambert sat down.
When be had seated himseif—
j“Calinly as the setting sun,”
Brother Freer offered the names of Brother
Bullock, and Brother Vance as Secretary and
assistant ditto. The assembled Redeemer
| approved of the proposition.
Brother Freer again opened his mouth and
spake, offering a resolution. It was in effect:
Resolved, That What we, the leaders of the
faithful have cut, and what wc have dried, is
i tlie programme most hicet for our brother Be.
1 deemers, therefore be it
Resolved, that brother Lambert be and is
hereby authorized to pull a slip Of paper out
of his wallet and announce the ttahles of Bro
\ thers Freer, Snow, Sibley, Hafi-is, Kimmel,
; and Peyton, as a committee dii cfelteuliais.
This resolution was gulphed down by the faith
ful ami thereupon Brother Harris (tire noble
son of Kentucky) arose and read;
Resolved, that a comm ttec of five (accord
ing to the bill of fare) be appointed by the
chair to ratify the choice of oar present offi
cers. Carried.
Brothers Harris, Riley, Owen, DeMark and
Kinscn wore assigned this post of honor, and
thereupon in accordance with a motion of Bro.
Harris the Redeemers ail went out to receive
spiritual consolation. As they retired chaunt
ing hyms of'praise, Bro. Lambert pronoun
ced a feeling benediction;
After commingling with the world our Re
deemers assembled again. The proceedings ]
were re opened with a short prayer by Brother !
Freer, and a hymn by Brother Harris!
“Aint yer mighty glad to git out the tVildernCs.v'' j
When the echoes of the song died away, ,
Brother Freer, P. M. (principal motion maker) J
submitted a resolution fixing a basis of Re
deeming representation. “By request ”we
omit it.
Brother Harris reportad from the commit
tee on permanent organization, recommending
the primary officers as permanent. Received
with ejaculations of approval by the bretheren
and with blushes by the honored elect.
Now sin and iniquity and dir. rs strange
heresies having crept into tbs cottuslls of Butte,
and the idol of Popular Scfvgfelsfnty having
been set up in the land to the abhorrence of
our venerated Redeemer at Washington, the
righteous few in conclave assembled, filled with
the spirit of redemption, heard with rejoicings
the sweet modulations of Brother Bullock's
voice reefing the riot act to the unbelievers.
Many resolutions were read, but not until
Brother H arris had electrified the wondering
throng with an eloquent recitation upon the
beauties of Redemption. He alluded to the
many years of service he had rendered as a
preacher of the true faith. He spoke of De
mocracy—and oh! bow he warmed the wax in
the cars of his delighted hearers. They gazed
upon him as upon a veteran, and snfiled. De
voutly he invoked the spirit of harmony, and
with scorn upon his lip and fire in his ey* spoke
of the base traitors (here he nodded his head in
the direction of the Butte Record who
had disregarded him and the boly teachirtes
he had given, and then with a peroration bril
liant as the combined effulgence of forty lights
of blue, he collapsed and was borne into the
revivifying air in the brawny arms of Brother
Kimmel. Brothers Brown, Vance. Riley, and
Kinson approved of the remarks of Brother
Harris, likewise of the resolutions, and upon
motion they were all adopted; soon after which
the whole fifteen went out and lickered: and
thus endeth the first chapter of redeeming love,
and John Davis shouts again, “sold and got
the money.”
Atlantic Papers.— We are greatly indebt
ed to Mr. Lockwood of the Literary Depot for
an ample supply of Eastern papers, among
which are, Forney's Press, N, Y. Herald, and
Tribune, Boston Journal and N. O. True Del
ta. Mr. Lockwood will accept oar hearty
tbiMiks.
Field For President.—Some of the eastern
papers have already hoisted the name of Cyrus W.
Field as a candidate for the Presidency. This is
doubtless done on (he score of availability. Mr.
Field being justly considered the greatest "wire
worker” of the ds y.
Fatal Duel at Victoria. —One John Collins,
formerly a resident of lowa Hill, was mortally
wounded in “an aflair of honor,” with a fellow
known as “Tipperary BiH," alias Vm. Morris, a
Wellerized California convict. They quarreled, a
blow was given, “satisfaction” was sought, and
Collins fell at the third fire- Tipperary Bill bin

T*he Route South of Salt Lahe.
It would appear, from an article in the Union,
of Wednesday, that the route south of Salt Lake,
which has been represented as “direct from Salt
Lake to Carson Valley,” is, in reality, the route sur
veyed by Lieutenant Beckwith in 1854. The route
bears in a southerly direction from Salt Lake City
to Tnilla Valley, in latitude forty degrees forty-one
seconds, and extends along that latitude to Fort
Reading, in latitude forty minutes and thirty sec
onds. The distance from Salt Lake to Lassen’s
Meadows by this survey, Is four hundred an d eigh
ty-three miles. Lassen’s Meadows, it should be
remembered, are some distance west of Honey
The fact is thus established by this govern
ment survey, that Honey Lake is much nearer Salt
Lake City than Carson Valley, while every one at
all familiar with the Sierra Nevada Mountains and
the Sacramento Valley, must be aware that it is
the more natural route for a wagon road. By far
the greater portion of the distance from Sacra
mento via Oroville to Honey Lake, has long
been traveled by the coaches of the California
Stage Company, and the balance of the route is
known to be practicable in its natural state. The
only desert that Lieutenant Beckwith mentions is
one forty miles in extent, with an abundant supply
of water near its centre. This was crossed without
serious impediment early in May. Had Beckwith s
route, after its junction with the emigrant road on
the Hnmboldt, followed down that scream, before
arriving at Carson Valley it would have encounter
ed the Sink of the Humboldt and the desert region
that surrounds it. But it continued along the for
tieth parallel to Honey Lake, and, (we quote from
the Union) ••the remaining portion of the distance
Lieutenant Beckwith found plentifully supplied
with grass and water,” This is another important
point of superiority in favor of the Honey Lake
route, established by government survey. Those
then, who advocate the Carson Valley route, in
preference to that by Honey Lake, care nothing for
distance, sinks, nor deserts, but desire only that
certain points or places shall be the terminus of the
road. In effecting this, they are willing to sweat
er affirm according to the intensity of their piety,
that it is easier to make a road over mountains
eight thousand feet in bight, than where they are
hut five thousand feet high, and that the de>erts
and sink of the Humboldt are muoh belter calcu
lated for wagon roads, and the sustenance of stoek
than the broad and fertile valh yof the Sacramento*
To accommodate Placerville, a road must he made
for hundreds of miles through the deserts of Utah,
in preference to earning it the same distance
through our own State. The advocates of the Car
son Valley route should abandon surveys and argu
ment and rely, as heretofore, on iutere-ted and
predjudiced officials for their success.
Tiik Alleghanins again.— Our theatre wa.< very
well filled on last Saturday night to hear the A lie-
I ghenians again. The audience was well pleased as
j they naturally would be with sd pleasant an enter-
I tainment, and the favorable reception given the
i company for three successive nights argued their
increasing popularly. Their quartettes are gener
ally well selected and always well sung, but to
some of their solos and the style of their delivery
We must be allowed to object. We don't like Oak
ley either in his character of lugubrious ballad sing
er, or as the “funny man.*’ There is altogether too
much of the morbidly solemn— puritanical is th e
vulgate—in the one, and too much of the decidedly
silly irl the other. Hiscbmting of Biblical leach-
would do very well in a Sabbath School; and
his ‘ Little Maid" and its character of songs would
riot be inappropriate for a nursery ; —but they both
drt quite out of place in a concert for the edification
of amusement-seeking men and women of intelli- i
gence. Of Miss Hifiert, we have spoken before ;as j
she has a r*ght to be spoken of, in terras of praise, j
She is a sWeet and c6 r rect singer, with a strong |
clear voice of much compass and evident cultivation-
Her only fault is indistinct enunciation. Mr. Stoe
pel is not only a very skillful performer upon the
“Like County Piano,’ but as he demonstrated in
the singing bf an Italian song, n very excellent vc»-
calist. Mr. Boulard, the bass singer, sustains his
part of the performances as well as could be desit
ed. Another objection to the Alleghanians and we i
are done. They sing too much aurl too often ‘by
request*” Their ready and generous compliance j
with a superabundance of imaginative solicitations, j
is painful to such of their auditors are as not entire
unsophisticated concerning “stage business.’^
We have not found fault with any portions of this
well deserving company’s performances, with any
desire or purpose other than that of drawing their
attention to what we conceive to be errors which
they can easily remedy ; and moreover, if we did
not believe the Alleghanians to be performers erai*
ncntly worthy of the public patronage, Wherever
they may go, we would see them in Salt L(f*e before
we would attempt in any manner to critlbise their
singings and doings. We heartily corametld the
Alleghanians to the consideration of our Northern
friends and neighbors.
Bursting ok the Bubble The volume of Fra
zer's turbid stream has fallen at last, and its fall
ing has proved the grand climax of its dupes' dis
asters. The receding of Its waters has exposed its
character, has told its ajcret. VVhen Frazer river
fell, its charm evaporate 1. Tomiintaia it. illusive
character it should never have shrunk from its
most gigantic proportions, Hopb and expectation
wiffted on its banks while its highest floods poured
down; now the bare bars, barren of gold, attest the
unwelMwre truth, long deferred. The bnbble,
though skilled, to its utmost tension has not yet
; burst. “Dry diggings’’ and “'further up the ri-Mir”
still allure the fortune hunters, until other receding
wates'or dispelling ignit fatui have told further
truth, the certainly , oming explosion will not take
place. But the burst will come eventually as sure
as April Fool's day will roll around.
I,ateb from Salt Laii.— The Overland Mail
arrived in Placerville at four o'clock on Tuesdi y
morning bringing with it three passengers, and sev.
eral days later news from Salt Lake. The effects
of the army and its hangers on were tieing seriously
felt in the holy city. (Jrog shops and grog drinkers
had caused rowdyism and several cases of murder.
Business is very brisk. Brigham appeared once on
the streets protected by a guard of Saints. A corn
company of 100 Dragoons have gone into theSho«.
hone country. Col. Andrews with 950 men and
equipments is en route for Oregon via California
Indians all quiet.
One of the Craft —Some skallywag invited a
Sacramento printer to take a drink the other day,
and singular as it may seem the typo accepted the
invitation. Afterthe drinking, the inviting party
tried to swindle the barkeeper, out of the reckoning j
and disgusted with his companion, the printer
walked out of the room. After a few moments the
slippery treater came out, and asked typo if he
had'nt played it fine, to which interrogatory, the i
deciple of Faust hit him a sockdolager under the
ear that knocked him up against a lamp post; Sard
enough to cut a gash in his contemptible head.
That printer is entitled to a "sit” anywhere he
wants it. >
Highway Robbery — A- teamster named Rus
sell, informs the editor of the San Andreas Jnde
pend ml of the particulars of a robberry ot which |
he was the unfortunate victim. He wa» driving
aloßg the road and met a man with a pack-of-blank- !
ets on his back , who asked to tie allowedrto ride in

and the wagon drove on, but had not gbne far be

complied, and hoping hie friend with the pack
might help him oot of the scrape, turned around to
see what he was doing and found the ungrateful
whelp with a drawn knife in bis hand, and telling
him to shell out what money he had. Rnasell was
•Wowed to depart after being relieved of tome forty
five dollars- all be bad.
A Decision.
Oust a Lecomptonite from official position by the
popular vote, and his endeavors to maintain an
official position equal the dying contortions of the
headless tnnk of an Anaconda. The people of
Sacramento are troubled with the Virginia Bolts.
“Old Virginia never tires”—of holding office. On
the resignation of Monson as Judge of the sixth
judicial District, the vacancy was filled by the ap
pointment of Judge Bolts. At the late general
election, Judge Botts was beaten before the people
both for the vacancy and the full terra, by J. H.
McKune. Bolts, it appears, however, has deter
mined to hold on to the Judgeship, and, according
to the Union , has decided that a vacancy can only
be filled at a special election. Should this decision
be sustained, he will maintain his position until the
first of January next. In the meantime something
might turn up to create a vacancy again, and of
course Botts could be re-appointed. If, however,
this decision concerning the filling of vacancies,
the Supreme Court has long been illegally consti
tuted, and various other offices, both State and
county, have been illegally filled. We incline to
opinion that it is but an exhibition of the tenacity
of Lecomptonism for official position. It may he
said so have assumed a malignant type, when it
thus overrides the legal and constitutional decision
of the ballot box. It is the Lecompton method for
carrying out the principle of popular sovereignty.
The people of the sixth Judicial District can have
McKune for their Judge by saying so, not through
buliot box, but through their judicial represent;!-
tin* Judge Botts. It will be seen that this decHun
is in strict accordance with the platform adopted
by the Federal-Lecompton State Convention.
Butte as a Tax Payer.— A tabular statement
of the amount of taxes paid into the State Treasury
by the various counties, between January ISth and
June 30th 1858, which appears in the Sacramento
Union of Saturday last, shows Butte county stand*
ing only second in the State as a taxpayer : San
Francisco being the 1 rgest contributor to the
public purse. The total amount paid into the trea
sury by Butte, in the time specified, is $40,980 04 :
that of San Francisco being $54,1*0 50. The coun
ty which stands next to Butte is Sonoma ; she hav
ing paid in $24,70(5 O'J. El Dorado, Tuolumne, Yu
ba, and other more populous counties than Butte,
fall far behind her, in every particular ; as they do
in the sum total of their payments. The amount
accruing from Foreign Miner's licenses, is more by
one thousand dollars, in Butte, than in any other
county (the next highest being Mariposa) and more
by five thousand and upwards than El Dorado, the
most populous mining county in the State. We
have reason to be proud of old Butte for her finan
, cial position among the counties, but while con
scious of being next to the heaviest contributor to
| the support of the State Government, we are un
pleasantly reminded of the very meager representa
tion granted us in the two branches of the Legis
lature. Perhaps however it is better to be well rep
resented at the Treasury Department but we should
prefet having our conditions in each more fully
equalized. Possibly the census ot 18(10 may do us
justice
Downfall ok the American Eagle.— Captain
Moore Of the Dry Creek Ranch, informs us that a
grey Eagle, measuring seven feet, seven inches,
from tip t<» tip of the wings, was shot, one day last
week, by one of the mea employed on the ranch.
His Eagleship had been observed, hovering over
the premises for some hours before he was killed,
and when he met bis fate, was perched upon a
fence rail, watching the agonies of a sow, that was
giving birth to a litter of pigs. A post mortem ex
amination of the “proud bird” revealed the horri
fying fact that the Sow aforesaid had already brought
forth two infant porkers, which, as Lamb quotest
“Ere sin could blight or sorrow fade.”
bad been pounced upon, and swallowed by the vo
nfbious emblem of Hail Columbia! We blush to
own that the pernicious idlfußnces of California life
hdve so far degraded tile high character of our Na
tion's chosiii bird as to make it possible for him to
be caught iu the act of committing porcine infanti
cide—and to such a purpose! We now leant, by
horrible example, why the American Eagle is gene
rally represented as crying maUnm *n parco. He
thus alludes to the disgusting plenitude of his in
testinal pork packing establishment.
W. T. Giles. —The Sierra Democrat mentions
having seen a paper stylbd the Freeport (III) Bul
letin, with the name which heads this article a> one
of its editors and proprietors. Mr. Giles was one of
the original owners of the California Express, and
also the first owner of the Mountain Echo, since
known as the Sierra Citizen. The Democrat is
wrong in this particular. Giles started the Echo
after the Express and while he was yet an owner
in the latter sheet We are glad to hear of the con
tinuance upon earth o: our old friend, and hope he
is getting rich.
Golno out of Olfice—Among others of our of
ficials whose career as public servants terminates
fo-da£, is constable Pat Maguire. We heartily re
gret Pat’s defeat at the late election. During the
term of his office he has shown himself an ener
getic Iridustrions, reliable officer, always on hand
and thoroughly competent. However, Pat is not
one of the sort that must have office or starve,
and for want of papers to serve or arrests to make
will not long suffer himself to remain unemployed.
The community and not he is the loser by his non
election. *
Justice Donaho and Constable Purcell also resign
their batons of office to-day The people in their
capacities failed to re-elect ’Squire Don
ato, and for such a want of appreciation of an ex
cellent officer the people ought to he ashamed of
themselves. Mr. Purcell, was not a candidate at
the iate election.
m6S*umknt to Ferguson. —There is a movement
among the friends and admirers of the late Win. I.
Ferguson, towaid raising the necessary funds for
building a monument to his mcnlofy. This will
probably be done, for there are vert* In any ardent,
affectionate admirers of the deoedsfed. not only in
Sacramento b st elsewhere irt the Slate who have
Dot to know that contributions arfc needed for so
w orthy a purpose, to lend thfeir instant and liberal
aid to the undertaking.
Breakwater Wanted. —The Crescent City Her

the e itrance of the harboFV a'nd thinks the citizens
of the town ought to make up a pony {torse where
with to hire the services of a good log-roller to put

but whel her it would secure his feeble services is a
question.

To r Redeemed.—t Fe are informed that a dally
Lcco»pton paper is now being circulated in Butte
County gratuitously, for the avowed purpose of re
deeming that county.—G help old Butte when she

We believe there are so me six of the “redemj -

Stjtaoogui The Israelite* of Placerville are
about commencing the erection of a synagogue in
that city. The building is to be of stone, and built
after the gothic order of arc lii lecture.
The Cable Celebrations.
San Francisco, Sacramento, Marysville and Pla
eerville have nobly and fully represented the com
mon sentiment of joy felt thronghont the State, at
the accomplishment of t£'e great work of the age.
Probably no event in the history of the world has
caused such universal joy as has the successful lay
ing of the Cable. Wars, ,victories, and political
triumphs have caused wild demonstrations of exul
tation among nations and parties, cherished anni
versaries bring about annual merry-makings, but
neither the news from conquering armies, the suc
cess of favorite candidates or the cherished remem
brances of zealous Christians or ardent patriots,
hjive ever wakened the millions of Christendom as
has this grandest achievement of God-like science.
The notes of joy swelling from the throats of assem
bled thousands on either side the Atlantic, simulta
neously arising at a signal given through the magic
chord has electrified the world, the spelling
shouts, dtid exultant, praise-giving choruses given
with ode dccord l?y faction forgetting nations attest
the pride and hope and joy aroused by the consu
mation of the most daring and wondrous project
ever conceived by man fhr the benefit ana enlight
enment of his kind.
Our sister cities have cele v mte£ the event in a
manner worthy themselves and the character of
their State. The success of great enterprises will
stimulate the undertaking of others. The laying of
the Atlantic cable is but a precursor of a web bf
lightning lines around the Globe, and a telegraph
across the great plains wjll soon herald the break
ing of earth on the WesU’V Frontier, by hands
that shall ere many years complete the connecting
road of iron, between the Pacific and the Atlantic.
Democracy of Michigan. —The Democratic
State Convention of Michigan have nominated
Senator Stuart, the man who stood side by side
with Douglas and Broderick in opposition to the
Lecompton and English swindles, as their candi
date for Governor. His nomination was by accla
mation. His success may be regarded as certain as
that of Stephen A. Douglas in Illinois. The re.
port states that the convention expressed confidence
in the Administration, and re-affirmed the Cincin
nati platform. That the convention endorsed the
National Democratic platform.is undoubtedly true:
but that the convention nominated Stuart, and en
dorsed the Lecompton popey of the administration,
is equally untrue, besides being an excessively ab
surd proposition. Senator Stuart had been the
constant and able opponent of Lecompton. and to
suppose that he would accept a nomination that
fastened him to the festering and stinking sectional
carcase of Lecomptonism, is not very probable in
our estimation. The Democracy of Michigan,
though beaten of late years, have ever remained
true to national pr n *.ip’es. and scorn to turn traitor
to their life-long >ns by endorsing Lecomp
ton.
Table Mountain Water Company,—Thiscom
pany propose to extend the Frenchtown Ditch to
Thompson’s Flat. Eight thousand feet of boiler
iron pipe will be used to convey the water across
the West Branch of Feather river, through a de
pression of eight hundred feet. The cost of the ex
tension to C herokee Flat will bealxrat one hundred
thousand dollars, and the cost of the entire exten
sion to Thompson’s Flat will be about one hundred
and fifty thousand dollars. The entire work from
beginning to completion, will cost two hundred and
fifty thousand dollars. The raining localities to be
furnished with water by this gigantic work, are
known to be extremely rich, and very extensive,
and it is lielievcd that the enterprise will be the
most important of its kind ever constructed, and
that it will have an important influence upon the
interests of California, by inspiring othbfs with
confidence, as well as in its direct results. It is tl e
intention of the stockholders to put the work under
contract this winter.
Indian Tkoibi.es at the North—We learn
hy the Humboldt Times of renewed Indian outrages
at the north. On the morning of September 7th.
Mr. Paul Boynton, who was living on the Trinity
trail, some seven miles beyond Union, was shot
dead by Indians within two hundred yards of his
hoi„-c. Some packers, who were mar at the time
frightened the savages away, and, douMlcse, saved
Mr. Boynton's family from the murdeious scoun
drels. An attack was made the day following
Boynton's murder upon Pardee's Bauch, Pardee
and his part it r being shot at, but escaping with
111 ir livis. Their stock was driven off and the
building tired. A man named Thornton, of Mat
tdle, was found dead and his body mutilated. Boss,
a packer, was mortally wounded, another named
Stevens was shotdead, and the names of several
others who have been attacked, robled and killed
are mentioned by the Tima, which paper very
properly urges the removal nr extermination of the
merciless savages. Much complaint arises as to
IhV manner in which the *o called reservations are
j tdnducted, and urgent appeals are made to the
government for relief. It is very evident that our
Iridiati affairs, have been much too loosely man
aged;
tjPtToniAL Change. —Benj. P. Kooser, Esq., has
retired from the editorial chair of the San Andreas
Independent, and, as he tells his readers, intends
going to the eastern States. Mr. Kooser came to
California in 1846, as a private in Stevenson's regi
ment, in which capacity he continued nntii the five
year's term of his cnlistm ent had expired. He is a
clear, graphic, forcible writer, and hU departure
will be a serious loss to the editorial corps in Cali
fornia. Mr. Samuel Seahough, a practical printer
and a writer of much merit, succeeds Mr.Kooser in
the conduct of the Independent.
Uninteresting CatALOGt'ES- — Foilowingan e.V
umple set by* the Sac rain onto Union, various pa
pers have published lists of wealthy and well-fo-do
individuals in their several con ties. These adver
tisements, which are. doubtless, flattering to some
of the individuals named, and annoyihg to others,
are quite as engrossing to the genera! reader as are
post office letter lists and patent office reports. A
list of the most freqnent tax payers in Butte coun
ty would embrace the titles of our Celestial gold
diggers.
Lance NionTiNutLL—So long a time had elap
sed since we had heard tidings from Lance Nlght
ingill that we began to fear he had fallen a victim
to the murdering propensities of some of the cow
ardly red-skfmf that infest the Fraser river country,:
until the last mail down from the north brought
the news thirf he and a company of eight were min
ing at a point ori Thompoon river, abont fifteen
miles above the forks. How much gold he is mak
ing, the report fails to state; the fact of nis exist
ence is the all impcriant and much desired item of
intelligence concerning him.
A Good Policy. —The best policy that we have
heard of ifs emanating from an insurance office, is
that adopted by the Agents of the Liverpool and
London companies, who, by way of encouraging
the people of San Francisco to illuminate their
houses and stores, issued a card stating that they
wonld not consider the extra nse of candles on the i
orcast in as injuriously affecting policies. Through
the selfish fears of the Agent of another company,
the Montgomery Block was not lighted on the ere
nin gof the celebration. He told the owners of that i
building that if they illuminated, their policy
would be vitiated, and so they sere compelled to
keep dark.
Stevenson's Regiment— Last Sun day, the Jtth

departure from New'Tork of Col. J. D. Stveuson’s

of ordinary time renders the career of every day |

now left to tell the story of theirjoya and sorrows.

The Celebration in New fork.
The grand celebration in New York, on the first
tysiant, in honor of the success of the Atlantic Tel
egraph, was probably the most magnificent affair of
the kind which ever'took place on this continent.
The city was visited by tens of thousands of stran
gers , and from early morning till long after mid
night Broadwav was a perfect jam: all vehicles
were ordered off the street. Almost every building
was appropriately decorated by banners bearing in
scriptions relating to the laying of the cable, the
persons engaged in it and its effects. The proces
sion under the auspices of the Common Council.
was eery imposing: upwards of 7,000 militia tamed
out. For the first time since tne evacuation, a Bri
tish company. t£e Montreal Light Battery, guests
of the famous 7th regiment, paraded in the city.
Captain Dayman and others of the British steamers
Gorgon and Porcupine, were also present, and the
carriage containing Cyrus W. Field. Captain Hud
son, and Engineer Everett, was everywhere saluted
and cheered. Boqnets were thrown to those gen
tleme from the lines of route. The civic societies
turned out en manse, and English, Irish and Welsh
residents, also. The t rades were represented by
plat-form cars, to which various machines were
worked, including one of Hoe’s largest printing
presses. The shipping and public buiidinp* were
literally covered with Hags. At the Pal
ace, Messrs. Field, Captain Hudson. Engineers Ev
arett and Woodhouse. and Captain Dayman, were
severally presented with medals on behalf of the
Corporation of New York.
The English Consul also received a medal on be
halfjof Capt Preody. of the Agamemnon. Fifteen
hundred voices joined in singing two original odes
eompos&d lor the occasion by Mrs. Annie S. Ste
phens; ttyey were sung in an effective manre, to
yie tunes of the “Star Spangled Banner’’ and “God
save the yneen.” There was also an oration by
Pjiv id Dudley Field, and a prayer by the Rev. Dr.
Field, father of Cyrus W. end D. I). Field, who has
taken such a prominent part in the enterprise. Du*
ring t.ftfcexercise a congratulatory message, dated
the same day at London, was received and elicited
great applause. ,<Vftcr 4 the ceremonies were oyer,,

The quarantine buildings at Stater* Island were
burned by incendiaries on the nights of tim Ist and
2d of September, the perpetrators being residents
of Staton Island, who have been trying for years to
effect the removal of quarantine, The local board
of health sometime since declared the institution a
public nuisance, hum recommended citizens to
abate it. The plans were w ell laid, and on the night
when every body was presumed to be absorbed in
the cable carnival, in New York, upwards of 500
men broke into the grounds and fired the ouildings.
No resistance appears to have been offered, and the
mob had everything .heir own way. The next day
the citizens met in ~a>s meeting and approved the
proceedings. The same night the remaining buil
dings were destroyed. including the marine hospi
tal, private residences of the doctors, the female
hospitals, and out houses, i’he presence of 2no ma
rines saved the IT. S. Stoics; only one Guru was left
standing. Amide arrangements were made r*»r sa
ving the sick, and no lives were 10-t by the confla
gration, although ore man named Frank Miller,
was shot dead by a quarantine official. '1 he affair
produced great excitement, but the authorities were
very slow in their actum. 1* ive airests w ic made.
Their names are Kay i ompkius..lodge Charles De
Forrest, Win. Muller, Thomas Garrett, and JohnC.
Thompson. They were bailed by Com. Vanderbilt.
Two others. Jacob Vanderbilt, br .ther ot the Com
modore, and Matthew Carrell, were also arrested
subsequently.
No secret was made by the mob of their connec
tion with ihe affair, and it is believed that no con
vsetion can ever be had on Staten Island, because
of the sympathies tne populace. Tin eats having
been made against the shipping, the frigate Sabine
anchored oft (Juarentine to pi event any further (mi
rages. Further d.tliculties were apprehended. One
hundred policemen, annul with rides and revolvers
and a force of harbor police were on the ground and
temporary buildings weie going up. The Herald
aim Tribune excuse the conduct of the mobiles,
when the Times, Courier and News condemn it,ami
call for their prompt punishment.

them up, acting ou utders from Washington, ami
they were placed in t ort Sumpter.

Two other steamers wer* also fitting out for the riv

The Tehauntepec Company’s steamer, Poydras,
