wellites here la Orerille. His card appears in an
other column.
A Judicial Editor.—Governor Weller has ap

Jit raid, rbunty Judge of Del Xorte county, vice
F. E. W,itsi)i».r< -'_TK-d. The tripod—traddling func
tionary will hold his office until the next general
election.
Election in Sacramento.— Thc*>»pecial election
of a Senator for Sacramento coanty, to fill the va
cancy asioned by the murder of the Hon. W. I.
P’erguson, takes place on the 6th of Xovemter.
Goi: .o Home. Everybody who has risked his
fortune in old Feather has not been victimized this
season, though we fear too many of the venturers
have. Among the lucky ones is Mr. D. K. Burris,
who goes back to his old home in Ohio, on the next
steamer with bis “pile,” a’l in the glittering metal
which has rolled out so literally from the Cove
elaim. May he and his fortune reach the white set
tlements in .-afety.
Butte Creek.—We learn that Ben Harbor’s
ditch which terminates at Rich Bar oppo>ite Dia
mondville is about ready for the reception of water.
It will set a large number of now idle miners at
work, when it is in full flow.
Watson’s mills, about two miles below Diamond
ville are completed, and have already commenced
grinding. These mills will accommodato a large
grain-growing section.
Buriaes* ateut Diamondville and Helltown con
tinues g*>od, and wants but the impetus of the rai
ny sea- a to make it very brisk.
A kfr vy at Moohevillf..—We learn that a fracas
occurred at Moorevillc, on Friday night of last
week, which resulted in the shooting of two per
sons. A party of which the two wounded men
were a part, were on “a lender,” and in the course
of the night, went to a Dutchman's Store to get
some oysters. They wanted two cans, but for same
reason best known to himself, the Dutchman re
fused to sell but one, and the party had to go away
unsatisfied— w ith fheir one can. After a few more
drinks, however, they concluded to go ba< k and
make the Dutchman sell them the other can, ami
manifested their desires by banging at his d »or,
and ( (‘inmauding them to open to them. This he
refused to do. and they burst his door in. He warn
ed them off; they advanced, and in protection of
himself and castle, he blazed away at them with a
revolver, slightly wounding two of the assailants.
The Dutchman was arraigned next day before
’Squire Keyes, who very properly told him he acted
rightly and discharged him. We telieve the name
of one of the party is Baird; the names of the oth
ers we are uninformed of.
Boat Sunk. — A fine sail boat, named Flora Tem
ple. was capsized off Vallejo >treet wharf, San
Francisco, on Friday lust, with six persons on
board, none of whom were droned; but the boat
sunk in deep water.
Arizona. Through the “indefatigable" efforts
of the “industrious” Gwin.tbe territory of Arizona
was organized. The soldiers stationed there to
guard the Mexicans from the predatory bands of
Aj aches and Camancbes. have recently elected one
of their Lieutenants as u delegate to Congress.—
Arizona is tote admitted into the Union immedi
ately underthe English bill arrangement, and Gwin
is to be one of the first Senators. That is our
prophecy.
“As a Statf.sm w." The case of J. C. McCreary
vs. John B. Weller, et al, has resulted favorably to
the Governor. The nit was brought by McCreary
to recover the right and privilege to deliver the
Stnt m.jN not the Governor but bis cotempora
ncous aj'jiesake, the newspaper. McCreary was
non suited, and Weller A Co., were well united.
This decision j>ermits the wheels of government to
run on fresh greased, and Weller flourishes over
McCreary in high official independence and dignity.
The Southern Ism \ns. —The Los Angelos Star
urges the necessity tor the establishment in the ex
treme South, of a reservation for the various trites
of Indians, now roving about the frontier counties,
dependent upon pillage and robbery f;r the means
of sustaining life. The Indians are very numerous
and warlike, and, unless provided for, are likely to
become very troublesome to the stock raisers and
faniWTS along the terdcr. The Star states upon
pood authority, that these Indians number at least
15,000.
Crescent City Mines. The Herald says these
mines are turning out remarkably well —tetter than
was anticipated. It mentions having seen the pro
duct of thirteen days mi'.ing by three men, in S.SSO
in course dust. Some of the pieces are very large,
and of a very pure quality. The mines are situated
some twenty-five miles ‘-'■'in Crescent City, and are
easily ac i • »le. The Herald thinks there will te
a grand nidi to the mines when the rains set in.
IssAMTY.-Mr.il. W. Schmidt, Postmaster at
Al'ua Frio, and for a long time resident of that
place, was attacked with insanity last week, and
>ent to Kt.x’klon. He had too much brain to te a
Lecooiptonite. and the effort to endorse Buchanan’s
Kansas policy, cost him his sanity. Poor man!
he should have abandoned the Postmastership and
retained lii’i senses.
“Under the —A lewd woman of San
Francisco teoouc boisterous at her door, a few
nights since, and a police officer to stop her clam.r,
poshed her iusido the house. The enraged virago
thereupon mitered complains against the policeman
for assault and battery and upon a showing of facts,
JudjieCoon felt compelled to mulct the peace
breaking officer in the sum of twenty-five c^uts.
AVhay it Cost the Chinamen—By an article in
the treaty of peace between China and England
and France, poor John is obliged to pay a million
of francs to his European conquerors for having
his junks and walls blown to pieces.
Extensive Steaming.—Aline of steamers is to
be established between Xlw York and Galway, con
sisting of tec .first class vessels of the greatest speed
and capacity, and eight coasters to connect there
with from the various ports on the English. Scotch
French ami Irish coasts.
Madame Lksdkknirr.— This distinguished lady
last, accounts giving readings at X a ban t, the
favorite watering place of the Bostonians, bhe
contemplates revisiting California.
Postmaster General Brown and the IT Y-
Herald.
The people of San Francisco have had a glorifi
cation over the arrival, in schedule time, of the
overland mail by the Southern route. Resolution
were passed laudatory of Postmaster Generu
Brown, an ’of the New York Herald - The former
we suppose for compelling the contractor to carry
the mail overland on a cnt-f;ff. extending fr m the
thirty-ninth parallel of latitude down to the thuty
second, and thence up to tne thirty-eighth parallel
at San Francisco. We suppose the government
and old Gwin, will consider such resolution as an
endorsement of their sectional policy in appropria
ting double the amount for the southern route that
they did for the route by Salt Lake. The Southern
route is peopled with roving bands of Apaches .tut
Coma riches, while the rallies of the great basin
through which the Central route passe*, is teeming
with a hundred thousand inhabitants—Mormon*
though they be • It appears to us that a wise poli
cy would have demanded the expenditure of the
greater sura on the direct route along the thirty
ninth parallel, already settled by the Mormons, in
preference to one overrun by savages upon the con
fines of greaserdom. It appears further to our un
sophisticated judgment, that a de ent it* poet for
California, the interests of her population and her
principal cities—and above all the interest of our
vast mining region, with it- thousands of industri
ous laborers, who send their three millions per
month into the channels of trade and commerce
throughout the Union—should have induced a wi e
and an sectional ized administration to consider
their want- in so important a m ilter. The south
em route must eventually terminate on the Gulf of
California, or at best at San Diego, or at San Pedro,
where a riv«l to Sun Francisco will ultimately arise.
Ar present, the mail is graciously permitted to ar
rive at and depart from San Francisco. Let them
rejoice for small favors, and glorify Postmaster
General Brown, who might have made Guy mas the
terminus instead of San Francisco. The railroad
once completed on the southern route, and the cit
ies and mining regions of California will realize
thei dependent position,and curse the sectional
policy that thrust it upon them.
The resolution relative to the New York Herald’s
enterprise in despatching a reporter over the ronte.
is certainly a strange one for the sober and intelli
gent people of the Bay City to adopt. The route
needed a blower, to give it a prominence equal to the
one-horse route through Salt Lake, and the virtu
ous Herald was pitched upon. Instead of exhibit
ing enterprise in the matter, the Herald, doubtless
received a large bonus to despatch a correspondent
over the route to set forth its beauties and beslobber
with fulsome adulations its projectors. Whatever
representations may be made concerning it, tin y
have been endorsed beforehand by the people of
San Francisco. The sectional policy wnich pre
ferred that ronte to one that really benefit-the vital
interests of California, has been endorsed by this
commendatory resolution, and they have even
whitewashed, in doing so, the —New York Herald.
The Sacramento Union has an article upon this
subject, showing the Sale Lake route to be the
shortest by nearly seven hundred miles, and had
government extended equal encouragement to both
routes, California would now have a semi-weekly
overland mail traversing her mineral regions and
terminating at her capitol. But this would not
have accomplished the objects of her sectional mas
ters, and her interests were sacrificed to build up a
southern route. This may be a wise and patriotic
policy on the part of the government, but it is one
that, in our opinion, will ultimately tax California to
bull lup the territories south of us. We had rested
on the belief that an impartial administration would
tiare taken California into consideration,and pre
ferred the shortest and mdst central route. This
they have not only failed to do, but have also re
fused to provide for delivering the mail by the cen
tral route, in the same time required ami paid for
on the central route. However much we might
have rejoiced to have seen California interests
acknowledged, grumbling about it will not mend the
matter now. We, however, do not agree with the
San Francisco resolutions, in honoring Post
master General Brown and the New York . ‘erald,
for their sectional and interested efforts in the mat
ter.
It is a very pretty fight between the two routes,
and the Sacramento Union appears to be waking
up to a sense of its true position. A few more in
terested Federal officials upon both of them, and
a sensible, self-reliant emigration will adopt the
natural route by Honey Lake.
Deviltry in Marysville.— The Democrat . of
Wednesday, contains an account of the doings of
some newly arrived burglars in that city. On Sun
day night Last, they went to the house of a Mr.
Thompson, on the corner of It and Second streets,
and, after rumaging about for some time, waked
Mr. Thompson, who jumped out of bed to see what
was going on. He was immediately seized by one
of the scoundrels and told to keep quiet or have his
brains blown out. They then demanded his money
and he referred them to his pantaloons, which
proved to contain but a half dollar. Mrs. Thomp
son was then told to give up her jewelry, but upon
representing that what she had were mementoes,
the generous scamps concluded not to take them.—
They were all masked, but told Thompson that he
wouldn’t know them even without their disguises,
as they bad all recently arrived from New York.—
After promising to c all again, they politely took
their leave. The hou>e of Mr. Pindar, on E street,
was entered on Monday night, but nothing of value
taken. The burglar was seen by Mrs. I*., wh )
screamed and awoke her husband, who was told by
the intruder that if he stirred he would lie shot.—
The rascal left a few minutes after, leaving his
shoes behind Lira.
Then and Now. -Previous to the election, the
Lecompton press claimed to be the admirers of
Douglas, and called upon the people of California to
oppose the party that was opposing him in Illinois.
The admin: si ration has sent men to stump the State
against Douglas and the Democratic organization.
How would they now like to have the people op
pose those who are opposing Douglas? Ca there
be anything more false and vile than California
Lecomptoniom ?
Big Pumpkin.— The San Francisco Bulletin
s|*‘aks of a Pumpkin in that city, weighing two hun
dred and fifty pounds. This is the most monstrous
specimen of its kind we have ever head of, although
wc believe squashes have been raised iu the State
of greater weight.
The Regatta.— The boat race which come off at
San Francisco on Sunday last, between the boats
Flora Temple. Fisherman, Frank Flint and Fairy,
was won by the Flora Temple. A large crowd wit
nessed the regatta, and another rahas been made
between the winning boat and Fisherman.
Throat Cutting.— A young man named Wheel
er, went into a butcher shop in Piacerville, one day
last week. and. borrowing a knife, cut his throat
very badly. It is thought he will recover. He is
supposed to be insane.
To be Revived— The S. F. Telegram says that
the Monitor , the weekly Catholic newspaper that
flourished and died in Mn Francisco awhile since,
is about to be revived. It is announced to appear
to-day.
Suspicious Circumstance. — Two greater? cross
ed the Yuba river bridge at Marysville, on Tner-day
Morning, on horseback and leading a mule behind
them.and going in a hurry. The Democrat desig
nates this as a suspicious circumstance. The Yuba
bridge must be doing a limited business when men
who cross it ate regarded with suspicion.
Fatal Affray at Brown’s Diggings.— The
La Porte Messenger chronicles a fatal affray i 1
Brown’s Diggings, between two Chilcnos. on th
24th ull. The survivor wa> arrested and tried be
foie Justice Keyes, who acquitted him on the ground
of justifiable homicide.
Tempestuous Tea Pot.
Because the petticoated Monarch of Great Brit
ain telegraphed a message to the pants-wearing
Chief Magistrate of the United States and because
the latter individual telegraphed back again, a
Urapest has been agitating the Britauia tea pot.
and in its turn, the American vessel has shown
symptoms of boiling over. The papers -ay, Mr.
Buchanan’s reply to the Q ieen was sevefely com
mented on by the London press; its tone was ob
jected to, etc., etc. Well, now. really, that is a sad
-tate of affairs; and. perhaps, could be better set to
rights if her graci's Majesty, and his venerable
Excellency, w mid try their hands again, and see if
they could possibly write Two more comm- nplace
billets than the tiro already e:it. The Queen “desir
es to congratulate*', and the President ‘ cordially
reciprocates,’* all of which would have W e i deemed
as simple and appropriate as, if anybody else had said
it, only it was just enough of an improvement on
the old style of—“I take my pen in hand.*’as an
opener, and “hoping these few lines will find yon
enjojing the same blessing,” as a finisher, to ren
derthem worthy of comment and extraordinary
remar aby the wiseacres over the waters. Queen
Victoria is just as son.-iblc a woman, and makes jot
abo t as good a Queen as five hundred Yankee School
marms would ca di make, and Mr. Buchanan,
although to our notion, entirely ont of place in the
Presidential chair, is a sensible old man with a good
enough education to enable him to appear respecta
rble among learned people, but neither the Queen
nor the President have ever set up for literati, and
so. whenever feel called upon to write letters
that ail the world must be allowed a peep at, all the
world should c insider the sources from whence
those letters cm mate, a d forbear ill-natured criti
cisms even if th< c letters are no better worded
than any other respectable lady and gentleman
would take the pains to write under similar circum
stances. The fact is. great folks don't like to write
letters any better than common people, and when
they have to do s ich jobs they get through with
them as easily as-possible, and when they are good
natured enough to let outsiders read them, compar
isons and criticisms are uncalled for, if nothing
more commonplace and stupid is the burthen of
such 1 tiers than those of the Queen and President,
We will bet a box of matches that the Cockneys
have ferreted out more meanings in the President’s
homely sc.awl, than he ever dreamt of in his phi
losophy.
Later from the X »utu —The steamer Pacific
arrived at San Francisco from Victoria on Monday
la d, bringing files of the Victoria Gazette to the
> th inst. By that paper we learn th it at a trial be
fore the coin rial court of sessions, of a min named
Doyle, charged with assault and robbery,H. J. Lab
bati, Esq., counsel for the prisoner stated to the
court that Mr. C>m missionir Xagent, had been in
formed of the confinement in prison of several
American citizens charged with the infringement
* f the laws, and desire Ith it the Americans s) sit
uated should, upon their trials h ive the benefit of
counsel. Ft being ascertained that Doyle was not
an American citizen, the rule was not insisted on in
his case, hi.t it will donbtle s be called up again
whenever an American is placed on trial.
The Hudson Bay Company is taking steps toward
the opening of a new route to Upper Frazer, by
way of the coast.
A great mmy persons arc leaving Frazer, some
<»f them bringing gold. The river at Fort Vale has
been ri-i ig lately i i consequence of rains. The
weather is becoming uncomfortably cold, tents are
bei 14 aband »ned and log house; are going up along
the river bank-s.
Edkn. -S unebody in L >s Ange os i as fitted up a
public gard n which he designates as the Garden
of Paradise. To make the title better deserved,
he has rigged up tfVgies of Adam ard Eve and of
Cain ami Abel, a big M .-hnaik” and the tempting
apple. To make the grounds still more paradisical,
lie has erected dying horses, and whirls them around
to the music of a brass band. Toe Garden of E lon
is a good thing to have in the f nr.ily and Los An
gel os of all sec' ions of America, most complete y
represents the Foly Land—if one don’t care a dern
what one says.
More ks.—The National Democrat of
Thursday, choii-les the perpetration of more ras
calities near Marysville. A teamster while within
a h ilt a mile of the city was stopped on Tuesday
evening l>y fo -t-jud- who demanded his money, but
were frightened off upon his c tiling for the assist
ance of some persons lying in his wagon. This was
a lucky escape, a- the teamster had £IOOO with him.
After leaving him, they stopped another teamster 1
and made him shell out s3oo. A suspicious char
acter known as John Dickson alias Long John, has
been arrested as one of the robbers. The name of
the person robbed i- Moore, and he says that Long i
rode down in his wagon one day last week,
from Fester’s bar.
Ste \ who at Foot Race.—The Bar Keeper and Pi
lot of the Steamboat James Blair, had a foot-race
on Second Street. Sacramento, on Monday last, a
distance of ID) yard: f>r It was won (accord
ing to the Union's la p rt) by ‘‘bar keep” in 2:40.
The race afforded rare sport for a large congiega
tion of steambo itmca and others.
Crazy Rome ■ —There is a jeweller in Sacramen
to who from the peculiarities of his style when
drunk has w.m the title of Romeo, to whose care the
Union directs the attention of the city authorities.
He is annoyingly polite to ladies and renders him
self as worthy a place in the mad-h oase as ever
Juliet s lover did by his love-sickly performances.
Rains Down South.—-San Pedro and same of the
other towns in the lower country were visited by a
severe storm eaily last week. At San Pedro a reg
nlar south caster was ex; erienced resulting disas
teronsly ta the shipping in port. A Yacht belong
ing to a gentleman named Banning was driven
ashore and broken up completely. The wharf at
San Pedro was ais > very much injured. A consid
erabl e amount of lumber was floated off the beach
and much of it lost. “Line gale” we suppose.
Comets—Facts vs. Arguments.-—-The San
Francisco AUa lately contained a learned disquisi
tion showing conclusively that Comets are well
behaved bodies and d » not strike. We have proof
positive that the Comet, or some other long-tailed
Celestial body, knocked ,i Turkey from a neighbor’s
roost,a night or two since.
Riun Dirt.—The Mountain Messenger isinform
ed that, at Independence Bar. on Dixon Creek,
Plumas county, the very respectable sum of one
thousand dollars was washed from one pan of dirt,
taken fn m a crevice of the rock in the bed of the
stream.
Hocus Pocrs.—Martin, the Wizard, is mystify
ing the San Jo-eites, for which humbuggery it is
said, they pay very liberally.
Chills and Fever.r-Detesting apologies none
were offered last week. The operatives ore now re
covering. Quinine is King!
K \ks as—Sandwich—Cuba.—Uncle Sam having
dined on “fried wool” until he has become dyspep
tic, should rein ve the disorder by tak ng a Sand
rrich for breakfast, to be followed by a genuine
Cuba.
I “Off For Honolulu, Right away, Right
Away. California Minstrels, under the man
agement of J. Mordo, left for Honolulu on the Sth.
Fkazeh Dust.—The Alta publishes a statement
of all the depiKsits of gold dust from Frazer river,
made in the San Francisco mint—the total amount
being SJTJKH). Almost a week’s w&rk for some of
our poorest river ' aims.
Fire in Santa Clara.—The dwelling house of
Mr. Bradly. near McCartysTille, Santa Clara coun
ty, was destroyed by fire on Sunday week. Two
children, who had ieen left at home, had barely
time to escape from the burning Ooiidiug.
Hypocritical Regrets.
The San Jose Telegraph regrets “to see that the
distinguished Senator from Michigan, the Hon. C.
E.Stuart,is about to retire from the United States
Senile.” That paper approves the Senator's
course on the Kansas question, but thinks the Re
publicans of that State “would prefer the election
of one of their own eminent men.”
In the first place, it is by no means certain that
Mr. Stuart “is about to retire from the U. States
Senate.” The Republicans must first beat him
before the people. No trilling matter. The Re
publican.'have had a strong hold of Michigan du
ring their four years existence, but they have now
to encounter a national man, and we are
confident, almost, that Michigan will again take
her rank among the Democratic States of the Un
ion. We shall certainly be disappointed if she does
not. Nothing but the m>»st abject party drill can
beat Mr. Stuart f<>r the Governorship of Michigan.
His opponent, Mr. Wisner. is an old territorial relict
and the compound double-distilled essence of every
ism that ever opposed Democracy.
As for “eminent party men,” wo think they are
decidedly scarce among the Republicans of Michi
gan. Abbey Kelley arid Seward do not reside in that
State. Mr, Chandler,’their Republican Senator,
became eminent with his party by being distin*
gui'hed as the boy to whom Frank Fierce gave the
cent—not his present political scent—but a genuine
Bungtown copper. Of course, after such an event,
the 1 epublicans had to send him to the Semite.
We think from the complacency with which the
Telegraph expresses its “regrets” that they are
somewhat hypocritical. That paper may have oc
casion to express some genuine regrets after hear
ing the result of the Michigan election.
How much did the i-iscoiiijitouUes pay the Tele
graph for raising the name of Douglas for President
during the late campaign ?
Inducements to Buy. —The proprietors of the
Golden Era hive no cause to complain of any lack
of notoriety of their paper in Oroville. John Davis
sells it. and as he hawks it about the streets setts
forth with stentorian voice, that “any you gents
now, that wants to buy that well known paper
known as the Golden Era, containing forty-eight
colyume* of readiu’ matter nine colyumes of poetry,
besides the latest news from Salt Lake and Frazer
River, kin have it for one bit, and it’s cheap at half
the money!”
Newspapes in Sacramento.— The Sacramento
Bee enumerates the newspapers that have been
born and have died in that city . The sum total is
thirty one, of which number li> were morning pa
pers, (» evening, 8 weeklies, and one semi weekly
The Union and Bee are now the only paper
published at the Capitol, the Mercury having been
smothered in its own fat.
Stabbed by a Little Nkjgek.— Some rowdy
San Francisco new.-hoys cornered up and badly
frightened a “sassy” little nigger i:i tl.e galleiy of
the opera h mse on Sunday night, and the little cuss
in self defence drew a knife and stuck it into one of
his persecutors, sending him and the ballance of his
party bt Bowing out of the theatre. When the mat
ter was brought to a proper understanding before
Judge Coon, he caused the self-proto live African
juvenile to he set free.
Attorney Wanted.— The Crescent City Herald
of Sept. 29th, actually says that a lawyer is among
the wants of their flourishing town I Well, whoev
er ? Just as soon think of a town council advertis
ing for sealed proposals for furnishing a settlement
with ordinary canine mongrels, or publishing a pla
card calling tor the services of a few first rate, e.v
perienced, bar room politicians. Maybe tiny want
the measels or the “ even year” complai.it up at
Crescent City. If they da, mode-ty oughtn't to pie.
vent them from saying so.
Supposed to be Murdered. — The California Ex
press of Wednesday says it is informed by Mr. Ha
worth, President of the California Stage Co., that
Mr. Loupe, the Mail Carrier between Weavervillc
Union is a wetk behind his time, and fears arc en
tertained that the Indians have killed him. He
has been carrying the mail for some months past,
and has often been chased by the savages, but has
hitherto managed to escape them. Mr. liaward was
thus apprised by telegraph.
Found Drowned. —The dead body of a man
named Conrad Reborn an engineecr on the Steam
er Republic, was found on the beach near the
foot of Dupont street, Sau Francisco, mi Saturday
last. The deceased is supposed to have fallen
through a wharf while intoxicated.
Bad News —The Overland Mail brings bad news
concerning the Atlantic Telegraph. Communica
tion has ceased, but it is hoped, not through any ac
cident to or defect in the cable, but through the im
perfection of the English instruments. Professor
Hughs has gone to Trinity Bay to examine into the
matter. Much anxiety is fell in regard to the result
of his investigations.
Fast Wagon,—A lazy going lining horse was
run over by a fast going wagon to which lie was at
tached, the other day in San Francisco. Putting
the cart before the horse wouldn't be a bad idea for
the promotion of locomotion in this case.
Satisfaction Demanded.— Late reports have it
that the French Government has demanded an ex
planation from the English Government relative to
the bombarding of Jiulah. So it seems that Queen
Vic went a honey-higgling over to France all fur
nothing. The imperial billiard marker can't be
soft sawdered into peaceful inclinations ; he needs a
smell of gun powder.
Weights And Measures. — Two gjntlomc.i
whose business it is to attead to the correction and
inspection of weights and measures have been so
journing in these parts for several days past. They
are doubtles proceeding under the law and should
be allowed full swing. Tint justicia rmt Seal 'em.
Clubbing the People. —An exchange states
that the Lecomptonites of Sacramento are forming
clubs for the purpose of thoroughly organizing their
force for the campaign of 1809. The head of every
traitor Among the pap-eating crew “is aching tor a
club !' T
Music in T rouble. —One Martin Musick, an Ital
ian, has lately 1-een under arrest charged with hav
ing received stolen goods in San Francisco. “When
music, heavenly maid, was jonug, v she didn't use
to do such things. She seems to be the associate
of sharps a id flats now-a-days.
Not Guilty*. — Meyer Hofflin and his partner,
charged with the crime of arson in setting lire to
their store in San Francisco to get the insurance
money, have l»een pronounced not guilty by the
court that tried them.
Horse Stealing. —The X ational Democrat says
that two fine horses were stolen from Thatchei’s
Ranch, on the Foster’s Bar road some six miles from
Marysville, en Wednesday night. Thatcher offers
$-50 reward to the person who will give him such in

We Chuckle Again.
How we Americans like to astonish John Hull I
How we glorify when, by individual acts and in
stances. it is brought to the understanding of the
the -‘stalwart Englishers’’ that we van accomplish
some things jast as well, and sometimes a little
better than ever was done on English soil, by a reg
ular, native born Briton. We never say in so many
words that John Bull is the best judge of Manufac
tures, and arts and sciences in the world, but we do
seek more anxiously for his opinion in regard to our
1 performances under these several heads, than we do
| for homespun judgments. We are never satisfied
■ with a great achievement until it has created won
i dormant and admiration on the other side the At
' lantic. We want John's solid approval of our
wares to satisfy ourselves of their real value, and
we receive his commendations as the surest, sound
est props to our national pride. Well, it is a great
thing to meet John on his own vantage grounds,
and, singling out his picked men, to show him by
actual comparison, that somebody American can
eclipse his proudest and most doughty champions.
We admit it: if the result is favorable for our man,
the victory is worth crowing over, and so we are
proud of Paul Morphy for his e.xhibiti >ns of prow,
ess in the hard, heroic game of chess. A chess vic
tory, is a victory of mind. It is proof of superior
mental power; and this is what oar traus-Atlantic
censors have been so loth to grant us, individually
and as a nation, It is no mean strife to engage in,
that of battling with the chess champions of Eng
land; and it is no paltry victory to triumph in such
a content. Good oa Paul Morphy’s head! He has
done for our thinkers and calculators what Ten
Brock failed to do for our raisers of fast-going
horses, and who will say that a victory over the
Chess Clubs of the United Kingdom is not a wor
their cause for boasting than if Babylon wins the
Derby?

Ashamed ox it.— The Supreme Court that has
been, has shown itself a model body, and its Mob
bill-notori ms reporter, Haney Lee, is a model of
accommodation as well as of chivalry. He reports
the cases as the Courts wants them to appear, and
strikes out such sentences as the newspapers have
pointed out as silly or undignified. They have
caused the pliable Reporter alluded to, to strike
out the following sentence in the much ridiculed
Archy decision :
“Besides this consideration, the petitioner (Sto-{
vail) is a young man travelling mainly for his
health.”
With this erasure, the decision in question is de
prived of the most vital vertebrae in its spinal

Folks will talk that way that don’t happen to

only a “'courteous difference of opinion'* between us

he is disposed to do what he can for the Record, on

Is it a Fact?— The Oroville Record says Mr-
Charles Schenner, of Morris Ravine, has raise 1
white grapes from seed of the Los Angeles black
grape, is it true?— S, E. Alta.
We have no doubt it is true. Our informant is
a gentleman deeply interested in agricultural
matters and acted as one of the visiting committee
of the State Agricultural Society. Moreover we
know no reason why he or any one else should
make such a statement unless it were literaly true.
Fish Story.— The Crescent City Herald says
that parties engaged in the salmon fishery at Smith
river have been very successful this season, and
adds :
“Apropos of salmon, we heard flic other day that
tb'-,‘ fish had be.*n seen so thick on Bradford s ford
i Smith river, that men have to stop their teams
• ) let the fish get out of Hie way. The ford is about
twenty inches in depth.”
By way of accomodating an enterpri ing cotem

lieve that yarn.
Klf The Democrat expresses an apprehension that
the Butte Record will become an Administration
paper, by reason of having received the Adverti
singof the Oroville Post Office. If we thought
there were any danger of such a catastrophe, we
should petition tlie Department to have the adver
tisement withdrawn. The democracy of Butte
have as much as they cau do to keep their political
noses above water now. If they should have to
shoulder the Record a d its support in addition to
their burden-, they w mid inevitably sink to rise
no more.— Cal. Expr; :s, L<compfon
By the “Democracy of Butte" the Express has
reference to the Lecornptonites, and tells a greater
truth than it thinks of when it says that it is as
much as they can do To keep their noses above ira
ter. They contrive to keep their
noses just above brandy and water, during their
waking in ‘inerts ami if what spare dimes they get
hold of had to I>e paid out for a newspaper, we
reckon they vould “sink” (i; such a thing were
possible) even below their present degradation.

with her lately, and has been arrested several times
te r it. She i.-not expected to live. Gunnison was
arrested immediately. He says she ought to be
killed. The cause assigned is insanity.”
From Salt Lakh. —from a number of the Dese
ret News, under the date of September 22d we ex
tract the following :
Against the army we have no ill feeling or preju
dice. Tin* army of Utah is as well and gallantly
commanded and officered, and efficiently disciplin
ed, as it is superiorly cquippcu and generously sub
sisted. From them we have received no annoyan
ces nor insults, save the general mowing down of
gra-s and tiie little et cetera- before referred to.
ITiey appear t • respect the feelings of the citizens,
and content themsc’ves with the garrison limit-.
The compliments to their discipline and good
behaviour are all well deserved—But we do ob
ject heart and soul, conscientiously and emphat
ically object to the ungodly appendages of gamblers
and adventurers, who appear to consider them
sehvs predestined to follow and hang around an
army wherever it goes.
Execution at Mazatlan —A correspondent of
the San Francisco Herald writing from Mazatlan
thus describes an execution which lately took
place in that city :
On the ninth of last month, the man, Mirracle,
that killed M. Corbin, on the 27th of June last, was
sentenced to he shot (at until dead,) and on the 3d
day afterwards he was conducted to the place of ex
ecution, which was the precise spot where he had
committed the deed—by a small regiment of sol
diers -and alter a few moments w itii the priests he
received one shut, which did not hurt him much,
the other four striking any where else but near him,
live more soldiers were ordered out and they tired,
and two more shots struck him—one in the neck,
which killed him—his body was then placed iu a
rude coffin ami borne to the grave by the dt«-hon
orable and u.-efal order of the chain-gang, and as
they passed along the streets, the blood from the
corpse dripping from the badly made coffin, nearly
covered the hearse—so ended the scene.
Toad Festival.— A miner on the river has do
mesticated half a dozen big t >ads who live under a
bridge over a spring branch. Every morning he
lays out a piece of beet ; the toads come out and sit
in a ring round the beef without touching it. Pre
sently yellow jackets begin to collect on the beef,
which art 1 snapped up and devoured by the toads,
the others manifesting the utmost decorum while
one catches a bee. Occasionally one gets s-tung,
upon which he manifests great disgust and dives
into the pool to soak out the pizeu. Our informant
declares that one of the sharpest of the toads has
already learned to pick his teeth after meat.— Tri
nity Journal.
Speaking of toads reminds us that the Sacramen
to Mercury has up and died.
Duel.—An affair of honor was to have taken
place at San Luis Opispo before the departure of
the steamer on Monday last, between Ben. Walter
Mur: ay, member elect of the Legislature, of that
c' My . and Capt. I). I*. Mallagh. The difficulty
originated about matters connected with the late
election. The duel was postponed until the return
of Capt. Mallagh from the lower country. We un
derstand that one of the parties was unable to ob
laiu a pist.d, and the other a second -hence the
postpouem rit— Santa Barbara Gaz.
Collecting a Board Bill.— A man who keeps
a boarding house in the upper part of the county,
saw one of his delinquent customers engaged in a
game of poker, and dunned him for the hallance
due on account, but the-gambler refused to pay.
The landlord then took his rifle and stationed him
self on the trail leading to the gambler's cabin, and
as the latter approach* d. he drew up his gun and
told him he most settle the bill forthwith. The de
linquent boarder immediately threw down his purse
containing about five dollars, and was suffered to
go on his way. —Nevada hem.

Rain Needed.
The successful workins of the river claim* de
mands a longer season of diy weather; the liealth
of the country seems to require rain. Health is of
vastly more consequence than the accumulation of
gold, and we pray for rain even at the expense of
the river miners Xo season, in the memory of the
old'Jst inhabitant has been so sickly as the present.
The air seems laden with malaria, by which more
than one-half the entire community is prostrated
with chills, fevers and billions disorders. It is rea
i sonahle to suppose that the air needs the disinfect-
I ing effects of rains and frosts to render it healthful
: once more. Accounts from other sections of the
| State show that this region is not the only one gen
erally in (Vcted . Similar complaints to those ex
| perieneed here prevail along the Yuba and in ma
; ny of the mining and agricultural districts of the
j foot-hills. The earnest prayer of a prostrated peo
' pie is Tor ram, and the first patterings of a drench*
j big storm, will be joyfully hailed as the harbinger
• of health, and a decline in the quinine market.
I A Dckl with Hunk Cartridges,—On Timrs-.
i day last, says the Columbia Courier of the 9th, a
i duel came off at Jamestown, about 11 o’clock, be
i tween two men,named Anderson and Leonard. It
appears the parties had quarreled, and agreed to
tight it out with six-shooters. Seconds were selec
| ted, and the parties put in shooting order. At the
| first round. Leonard’s pistol hung lire. They were
j again stationed, and on the word being given,
Leonard’s pistol served him the same as before
| Leonard then threw the pistol at his opponent, but
j missed him and struck his second on the leg. Hath
I parties then drew their knives and rushed in t hut
! weie prevented from doing each other damage hv
the interference of sj c tators. It appears the pis
! tols were h»a led with blank catridgcs by the seconds
although the principals were not aware of the fact
until it was all over. When they discovered the
trick, they became much enraged, and manifested a
■ niore killing disposition, if possible, than before.
! The affair, however, was afterwards arranged to the
j satisfaction of all parties.
J. M. AiNSA.— By the arrival of the Genova on
Monday last, we have received positive intelligence
that J. M. Ainsa, who was arrested on American
soil in and carried captive to Guaymas, was
sent from Guaymas to Mazatlan some three months
; since, and at that place took passage on the brig
Gen. Yanez, now over due at this port. The in
-1 telligeuce that a man-of-war would proceed t«» So
nora and demand his release occasioned his being
I scut to Mazatlan. indeed as our informant remark
j cd, the authorities «»f Sonora considered themselves
placed in the same predicament by holding him
; prisoner, as them in who won the elephant at a
! rathe. They we.e glad to get rid of aim before
I Uncle Sam s gun- demanded Ins release A’. F. Na
tional.
A Love of a Bonnet.— The fall fashions for bon
nets, if the Philadelphia .North America is properly
informed, provide artificial fruits as a substitute for
flowers. The latter will pass entirely out of use.
Instead of ro>es, Johnny .umpups, and daffy-down
dillies, the bonnets of our belles will be graced with
clusters of artificial currants, or grapes, cherries
and other fruits, done in glass of the least possible
the knoss. The new bonnet is a unique affair, and
resem »>s a cabbage leal- trimmed with tomatoes.
The price is cheap, only thirty dollars.
