Kl , K\ Ri tint Miners.— la a season so peneralb
unsuccessful to the river miners in Butte county
a-sthis has proved.it is gratifying to chronic-e the
occasional instances of pood fortune that art
brought tonotice. One of the “Kong Riffle Claim'
Company (.Vont! Fork,above Potter's Bar) called
on ns one day tills week and gave ns the particulars
ol hi? company's operations during the past-urn
mcr. Their flume was 550 feet in extent, and to
pother with the dams, pumps, etc*, was constructed
»l an expense of some slo,ooo. The company
consisting of t--u ruemliers. performed nearlv ail
the labor of preparing the -Haim for mining, and
were fortunate enough to have the bed of the river
laid bare so early as the Uth of Angwut—at which
date they commenced mining. B, tween that time
and about ten days since, they had worked out
their claim, realizing therefrom s me $20,000. Tin
hired labor on the claim cost the company T ’.OOO.
This sum added to tin- cost of the flume, makes the
sum total of expense incurred, $12,000, which, .-ab
stracted from the amount dug ont, leaves a clean
protit of $-.ooo—a -nug little pile to be divided
among a small company of industrious, prudent
men. After working ont the r claim, they reon-ved

Douglas' Position Sustained by the Na
tional Democratic Sentiment.
In -tr*B2e contrast with the vinification " ' en:t
tf>r Boaela.' by the Lee Tupto* prtss of Calif Tula.
is the position and sentiment of the Pemoomoy of
the Atlantic Pta’es. livery Conpres tiona! nominee
of the partv in Onio and Indiana have declared
in f Ivor of ihe position of Senator and the
admission Of Kansas and Oregon. Even 8..1 fen
o'.i-h, the Jnda* of the tliirteen National Pcmo
crats in Congress, has repndiated the provisions of
his infamous bill, in hrs desire to he returned to tire
-,-cne of his treasons' ’e exploits. Stuart has re
ceived the unanimous end- r-craent of thed emocracy
of Michigan, and his been chosen as their standard
hearer fir tlie November election. There are not
half a dozen Congressional di tricts north of Ma
son k Dixoa's line, in which the people are not op
posed to Lecompton, and repudiate the odious test
of the Administration. Nor is the South behind
the north in repudiating the Lecompton test and
the vindictive and relentless war waged by the Ad
ministration npon the Senator. The leading Le
compton spirits vi the late of Congress,
have had their ardor cooled by mingling with the
ma»es of their constituents and consulting the
public pulse. Indeed, if we may judge from the
tone of the Atlantic press, and the sentiments ex
pressed by public meetings .both North and South,
there is deep-felt indignation at the base methods
which have been resorted to to force them into the
endorsement of men and measures revolting to the
national -ense. The South, too, is waking up to
the dangers which will inevitably menace her, if
the reign of injustice and proscription continues.
The National Democracy of Tennessee have no
bly spokan in favor of National men and national
measure*. An enthasiwtie meeting at Bridge
Pin''*'. Tennc ee, has plainly indicated the senti
ments and preference of the South. The Chairman
of the meeting, Th>»s. B. flraliam, Esq., adverted at
some length to the Kansas struggle, and to the con
test now going 0:1 in Illinois between Senator Doug
las and the Republicans, saying that in union there
is strength; that no differences on ac con nt of honest
opinions, should be allowed to divide the strength
or weaken the power of the Democratic forces in
that State; that if the Republicans should gain the
victory, it might prove a severe blow to the rights
of the South and the national Democracy, in that it
might be the means of giving the opposition the as
cendancy in the northwest in the coming Presiden
tial contest: and that, as the Democracy there had
a gallant and well-tried leader, it was obligatory
upon all Democratic “suckers’* to shoal together to
the rescue. When he bal concluded, the meeting
adopted the following resolutions. We find tqcrn
in the Philadelphia Weekly Press, together with the
proceedings ot the meeting:
fVAfrr/1, The time is now approaching when the
people—the true sovereigns— will be called upon to
ex»*n i>e their elective franchise in placing a Chief
magistrate at the helm of government; and con
sidering, as wc do, that the Union is in a perilous
condition, beset as it is by the fire-eaters of the ex
treme south and the Republic ms of the north, we
would warn the Denv (racy to stand firm as one
man in defence of their sacred rights and time-hon,
ored manciples —those principles which have made
the Democrat!'* party great in spite ot all opposi
tion: which were laid down, vindicated and advo
cated by JeScrsou, an I illustrated and nobly car
ried out and sustained by Jackson and Polk.
There foot, be it Resolved, That we eschew all the
new fancied doctrines ami isms of the day. and still
cling t » our old landmarks, and adopt this, our an
cient creed:
Equal and exact justice to all men, of whatever
stab- or ]»• !>!; i-i<*n. religious or political.
Peace, commerce and honest friendship with all
nations; entangling alliances with none.
'i he right of the States and Territories to admin
inisfer their own domestic affairs.
Freedom and equality; the sovereignty of the
people, and ‘he right of’the majority to rule, when
their will is constitutionally expressed.
Economy in the pnbiic expenditures, a sacred
preservation of public faith.
Freedom of religion, freedom of the press and
general diflu ion of information.
Opposition to all secret political organizations,
and to all corruption in politics.
A sacred preservation of the Federal constitu
tion, and no religious test for office.
No bigotry, or pride of caste, or distinction of
birth, among American citizen .
Respect and prole ti »n for the rigb*A of all.
The preservation of the naturalization laws, and
the right of all to the protection of the American
government.
Opposition to all chartered monopolies.
Common brotherhood and good will to all, espe.
daily to those of the boast hold of faitc.
A strict construction of the Federal Constitution,
and an tin deviating adherence by Congress to dele
gated powers.
Resolved. That we consider Stephen A.Douglas,
of Illinois, to be the expounder, the embodiment,
and the fearlesa defender of the ,above principles,
and would recommend him to the next National
Democratic Convention as a candidate for President
in and James L. Orr, of South Carolina, for
Vice President.
Thus speak the Democracy of the home of the
patriot statesman Andrew Jackson.
The Democracy of Bellvillc, Illinois, held a
meeting on the 10thof September, and adopted the
following resolution', endorsing the Hon Stephen
A. Douglas, the “great champion of the Constitu
tion, and the honest, faithful and invincible advo
cate of Democratic principles. Col. Ferdinand
Kcnnett, of Washington co. Mo. was called to the
chair, and staled the object of the meeting to be to
elicit au expression of the opinion of the Missouri
Democracy upon the views and position of the Hon.
Stephen A. Douglas, of Illinois, whereupon Ed
ward W. Shands, Esq., of S . Louis, offered the fol
lowing resolutions, which were received with the
greatest enthusiasm and unanimously adopted by
ihe meeting;
Resolved, That we. National Demo-rots of Mis
souri, whilst disclaiming any desire to interfere in
any manner whatsoever in the local politics ot our
sister State, at the same time assure the Democracy
of Illinois that they have our hearty sympathy and
wishes in their contest again 1 1 Freeso’ilLm,
Black Republicanism, Abolitionism, and all other
discordant elements and isms united in opposition
to the National Democratic party.
Resolved, That if is the policy of the Democratic
party, in view of the many factions which will be
united against no longer to discuss dead issues.
\ -ed upon nine policy, but to unite cordially, la
beling in solid ph.laux together, in defence of the
time-honored principles ol our party.
R. solved. That in Stephen A. Douglas,of Illinois
v. have always found a staunch, unwavering
friend, and fearless advocate of Democratic princi-
and that upon his success in the present con
test in Illinois depends, in a great measure, the tri
umph ot the National Democratic party in Isoo.
Thus speak the National Democracy of Missouri.
Meanwhile, the Lecompton and Republican organs,
Lorn ibe Washington Union down the hireling
pack, continue to assail Douglas and his associates,
and attack those who are known to be favorable to
his re-election. Nearly all the leading papers of
the South, faror tTie position of Douglas, and dc
"•,e Jcturu t«* the Senate, it is merely the note
of preparation of the democratic determination to
defend their ancient faith against the assaults of
ractions and isms. The National position of Doug
las. Walker. Wise. Stuart and Broderick will re
ceive a glorions endorsement in 1«60.
W c cannot forliear adding in this connection, the
folmwiag extract from the Washington correspond
ent of the New Turk Tones
; ihe Union’s advice to the South in connection
with Douglas has little influence with her press
ami politicians. Her ablest and m ><t influential
Democratic i«per> are out in the support of Doug
las. and protect al the course of the Cniou. Such

Steam Fire Engines. —Some of the San Fran
cisco papers having broached the subject of a steam
Fire Engine for that city, the Firemen s Journal
ventures the opinion that it could not be used until
San Francisco has been excavated and paved, and
the streets pat in much belter condition than they
are at present. The Journal Is decidedly favorable
to the ••heart and hand and muscle” power.

The Tendency to Sectionalism.
JT'rer before in the political history of the coun
try hare parties assumed so decided £ sectional
phase as at present. In the fierce straggle against
sectionalism during the administration of Pre-i
dent Pierce, the principles upon which bis policy
was founded carried the party which had elevated
him to the Chief Magistracy of the Union, through
the campaign of That administration did
not attack the platform and principles of the Dem
orntif party nor violate its pledges solemnly made
in National Convention. President Pierce did not
enter the white hon-e with glittering generalities
on bU lips, and a sectional programme in his pock
et; but with a national policy laid down by the
national Democratic party of the country, that
led to the adoption of the Douglas principle of
Popular Sovereignty for the settlement of sectional
questions, and to determine the character of the
domestic institutions of new States. It was this
living, indestructible principle underlying the
policy of Pierce's administration that rendered it
successful, and enabled the Democracy to triumph
in the campaign of 1856. It was not alone the
magic name of Democracy that e’e :ted the present
administration, nor yet the wisdom, age and expe
rience of their standard bearer; but the principles
embraced in that name. The weakness of man.
and the hopele>sness of resting alone upon the name
of Democracy for success, must have been vividly
in view of the aged and experienced chieftain when
he wrote—“l am no longer James Buchanan, but the
representative of the Cincinnati platform.” Here
lay his success; and those who assisted in the tri
umph of that platform, have long since read in his
K msas policy, the converse of his own declaration
—“1 am no longer the Cincinnati platform,” etc.
Instead of that national platform, of which he so
freely .-hrank from himselt to become the Repre
sentative, the party are notified, upon the pain of
expulsion, to accept, first, Lecomnton, and the En
glish bill. The first a measure to compel the peo
ple of an embryo State to accept of a constitution
repugnant to their wishes; and the second, an ef
fort to induce them to do the same thing, or remain
fnran indefinite period in a territorial and de
pendent condition. It stand thus, then: Under
the present administration, and the principles es
tablished by the English Bill, none but Slave States
can be admitted. That bill says—you must come
in with a constitution recognizing slavery, or you
shall stay out. This is an exact off set of the Re
publican doctrine, avowed since the inauguration of
more slave States under any cir
cumstances.” These doctrines now constitute the
sole and vital creeds of the Republican and Lc
compton party. The latter being the party in pow
er, are endeavoring to reduce Democracy to thi
sectional issue. The mind of every national must
revolt from the contemplation of such a sectional
issue, and refuse to surrender the principle of popu
lar sovereignty. The Democracy, with Douglas at
their head, still adhere to the doctrines of the Cin
cinnati platform, an I are battling with both those
rectional policies in one of tho two northern States
that voted for Mr. Cincinnati Platform in ISJG.—
Hundreds of thousands of national hearts arc pray
ing foi the triumph of national democratic princi
ples over the combined oppo.-ition of sectionalism.
Solid Advancement—To the residents of the
town the advancement of Orovilie, since its c’e;-
traction by fire, has appearel somewhat slow, but
the buildings erected, particularly those on Myer's
street, are ofthe most permanent character. Those
who have not visited the town for the past eighteen
months are agreeably snprised to witness the num
ber of brick buildings that have taken the place of
wooden rnes. We doubt not that another season
when ranch less capital will lie invested in uncer
tain river operations, that further permanent im
provements will take pla e.
In a recent conversation with Mr. Dequeue, we
learn he has completed arrangements for tire erec
tion of a Steam Flouring Mill, on Montgomery
street , above Downer. Allh Vit may be completed
somewhat late for the crop of still it cannot
fail to lie apr citable investment, and will accom
modate a large and thrifty agricultural section.—
Beqnette is not a new hand at the business, lint
is familiar with all its details, and will erect a mill
capable of supplying the trade that may be induced
to come to Orovilie tor the ‘staff of life.” There is
no reason why the vast mining to the north of us
should be compelled to goto Marysville for this
staple article, or our farmers compelled to go then
to find a market for their produce. It is an im
provement that has long been needed in Orovilie.
Mr. Beqnette expects to have the Mill in operation
in about six weeks.
Directly opposite the site selected for the Mill.
Mr. James 1-o. ber has erected an extensive Steam
Foundry and Machine Shop, capable we judge from
a 'cursory examination of turning out anything
flora a toasting fork to a quartz mill.
It is gratifying to chronicle these permanent and
substantial improvements in Orovilie. It is an evi
dence that we shall not long remain a mining town
only, and subject to the depressions and expansions
of the mining regions, while there is no perceptible
falling olfin mining operations, or in the receipt of
gold dust by onr banking houses.
Ancther season, we doubt not. a Bridge will be
constructed across Feather river at the foot of Dow
ner street, and the completion of the road to the
Junction,by the company-now organized for that
purpose, and OrovMlc, with her mining and manu
facturing operations and avenues of trade, would
begin to enjoy the benefits to which, from her posi
tion, she is justly entitled. The Junction Road
Company should cenimenre operations at once, as
the labor could be performed much cheaper during
the wet season than when the earth has again be
come dry, and nearly as hard as the bed rock
Those who desire the prosperity of Orovilie will
wish those improvements good speed.
The Rain andthe Rivek— All the flamed claims
on the main river have been flooded by the rise
consequent upon the late rains ; but no flumes have
been swept away and none have received any verv
material injuries. From the fact that the river rose
throe feet between Wednesday night and day break
of Friday morning, we may form some conception
of the great amount of rain which fell, in that
comparatively short space of time. We think this
the severest initiatory storm we have ever noticed
in the State. The first rains arc generally light,
but this began and continued like a regular Win
ter's tempest. Wo learn that, mining operations
on the Cape Claim will not be resumed, and that
the florae will be removed from the river, forthwith.
At s-.rae of the other claims, the Nebraska, Chan
nel Rock and Union, we understand, endeavors will
be made to prof red as previous to the storm. We
admire the courage displayed by these latter com
panies. but the ominous clouds cause us to lament
their lack of discretion.
Political.—Some of the Califoruia papers are
just now divided in opini in concerning the prefer
ence of some prominent southern men for Senator
from Illinois. If there is a man in the whole south
who does not prefer the election of a national man
like Dougia-. over such a rabid and ultra seetional
ist as Lincoln, he is unworthy to be an American
citizen, whether he occupies the highest place in
the gift of the people, or is tire lowest menial in
the service ol •■Mudsill” Hammond. It is natural
for every l-ecomptouite. north or south, like the
rabid Rcpubkians of Illinois, to desire the defeat of
Donglas. Both are equally inimical to the national
doctrines he upholds, and both have felt the giant
blows of his unmatched logic. Safety for troth these
sectional parties requires that Douglas should be
crushed, and both have determined to do it. The
private or pm.iic opinions of those who support the
Administration iu its war against Douglas, are not
worth making a tuss about. After doing all they
could to secure his defeat, it is contemptible dema
gogneism to publicly express the hope that he mav
succeed. Douglas will yet place bis giant heel up
on sectionalism, whether norta or south, whatever
may be the op.moo of Levomptonites or Republi
cans.
The Steamboat Lines.
"Whenever it has been formally and credibly an
nounced that the Nicaragua or Tehanntepec routes
were about being opened, the press and people of
California have exulted, gratified at the prospect of
relief from the oppressions and impositions of the
Mail Steamship Company. The Nicaragua route
has been opened at various times since the fall of
1*50: was for a short time (previous to the Walker
expedition.) of real benefit to] California, and give
some promise of permanency. The latter attempt
to reestablish it have proved failure*. The instability
of those in whose hands the destinies of die Nicar
agua route have been held, has led to reasonable
doubts of its ever being a stable, successful com
petitor with the Panama route, and all hopes not
centered on the Pacific Railroad —have been fondly
turned to the Tehanntepec route. Favorable re
ports of the progress of operations on the line of the
latter, have reached ns from time to time, and al
though the construction of the road, and the ar
rangement of preliminaries has been but slow, .ve
have felt a degree of confidence that upon its open
ing, the much longed for relief would come. It
seems trorn the latent intelligence that we must an
ticipate disappointment, To be sure, it is an
nonneed as certain that both the Nicaragna and
Tehanntepec routes are to be very speedily opened
—and they probably will be—but accompanying
that announcement, is the ominous, disheartening
news that the vessel* which are to connect with
those routes on the Pacific side, are those of the Pa
cific Mail Company So long a* this monster op
pressor holds so much power in its hands, (sufficient
to control the transit of the mails and passengers
from San Francisco,) it will hardly ffeel weak am]
dependent enough to make voluntary reductions in
the prices of passage and freight; and thus, the
only two routes by sea, from the opening of which
we could except to derive any lasting beneficial re
sults, have fallen into the grasping hands of the
very company from whose clutches we have so long
striven for escape.
To what quarter are we now to return for relief?
Ce.tainly not to the Pacific Railroad. The very
mention of a highway which has hitherto proved
but a road to office- excites the derisive smile of
the people in whose breasts hope has languished
until it scarcely survive* upon the promise held out
by the enterprising spirit of the age. The over
land mail wagons may direct much travel across the
plains, but farther than that can be of but little
direct benefit to California emigrants. We are in
a most deplorable plight, out of which the way
seems sadly dim and uncertain.
Tub NAT A JOS to bb Expermi nat:;i>—An im
portant news item has retched California by the
St. Louis, Memphis aud Texas route. The Navajo
Indians are to be exterminated. We learn this
fact from the Santa Fe Gazette. That paper states
that one company of mounted riflemen, thiec com
panies of rifles, company C Third Infantry, and a
company of guides and spies, have been ordered
into the territory of the Navajos.to execute the de
cree that has gone forth against the devoted tribe.
Lieut. Col. Dixon S. Miles has been assigned to the
command of these troops. A porti >n of them had
already advanced into the Navajo territory, but up
to the latest dates received, had made no further
hostile movement. At the earned solicitation of
an influential Navajo chief, the commanding officer
had given him ten days to raise his people, hunt
down and deliver up the murderer or murderers of
Major Banks’ negro. The poor, simple, untutored
Nayajos ! tnus Xu arouse the vengeance of the Fed
eral power. The poor fools could not be content
with murdering and robbing emigrant trains, and
scalping women and children;hut must kill a negro
and on the southern route, too! Let tne extinction
of the Navajo nation atone for this unparalleled
outrage, and other tribes he thereby taught to con
iine their depredations to exnignut trains, and
upon other routes.
Consistent Abuse—The Sierra Citizen, in
common with other Federalist papers, is defaming
and villifying Senator Douglas. In view of tne
fact that the cross grained Editor of the Citizen
lias ever been, since onr knowledge of him. a steady
pertinacious abuser of Democrats and Democratic
views and doctrines, his present course exhibits re
markable consistency—particularly as one of his
especial reasons for abusing Mr. Douglas’ character
is the fa'-t that he—Douglas—is the father of the
Kansas-Nebraska bill. The Mountain Democrat ,
San Francisco JVational, California JJxprcss and
other followers of the Administrative dicta should
emulate the course of the Know-Nothing Editor ot
the Citizen . as closely as their editors ability will
permit. Because he is the framer and defender of
the great national law, first sought to he applied to
the territories of Kansas and Nebraska, is the rea
son a sectionalized administration seeks to crush
him—and other Lecompton organs besides the
Citizen should have the candor so to proclaim.
Woman Murdered by a Cm nam an.—Mrs. Sa
rah Neal, who was keeping a grocery store at
Cook’s Bar, Sacramento county, was murdered by
a Chinaman on Monday last, as was supposed for
the purpose of robbery. A German neighbor heard
her cries, and running into the house,saw the Chi
naman in the act of giving the last blow. He im
mediately grasped him so as to pinion his arms and
held him until assistance arrived. The worn \n re
ceived eight, stabs, either of which would have
proved fatal. The residents of the bar immediately
gave the murderer a hasty trial, and within two or
three hours after the perpetration of the crime,
hung him to a tree.
Fike Engine. The Sonora llearld states that a
Mr. Frder’ck Drcver, of that place, his invented
anew fashioned fire engine, and taken steps to se‘
cure a patent therefor. The shafts not only draw
the engine and lay *he hose, hut in working stick
out behind and ire changed into four breaks* the
wheels become fly-whee’s, so necessary for uniform
motion: and the axletree, cranks to work the pumps
which are double action, with only four valves for
both.
Pennsylvania —The Congressional election in
Pennsylvania, took place on the 11th of October,
and the result will, probably, reach California in
about two weeks from date. Several of the Le
compton Congressmen have been re-nominated, and
are opposed by able Popular Sovereignty Demo
crats, and, in consequence, the result in Pennsyl
vania will be looked for with some anxiety*.
Ball?—With the return of cool nights has come
the dancing season,and not to be behind the times
and in compliance with the solicitation of his manv
friends, Tronghton the jolly, diflident host of the
Miners Ranch, has concluded to open his house for
the accommodation of the votaries of Terpsichore
on the evening of Tuesday. Nov. 2nd. He extends
a general invitation to the good people of Butte.
Indian Murder.—Deputy Sheriff Frank Miller
informs us that one Indian was shot and killed by
another, at the Forks of Butte, one day this week.
The two quarrelled over a gambling game. The
shooting was done with a rifle—a weapon which
no Indian should lie allowed to carry. The mur
derer escaped.
Brisk Times—The Beacon says the town of Red
Blutis is jammed full of goods for the northern
country, and teams were in good demand.
The Little Lecomptom as Cuss.—A valine, of
the Amador Sentinel.* ays he has not wasted breath
on the Comet or Cable excitement, and has more
important matters to write about.
Perry's Victory. —The anniversary of Perry's
victory on Lake Erie, was celebrated on the 10th ot
September, at Put-in Bay, about forty miles south
eart from the mouth of the Detroit river, near the
scene of the engagement.
Militia Surgeos. —Governor Weller has ap
pointed Dr. W. G. Hatch, of Sacramento, to accom
pany the troops North in their proposed expedition
n the Humboldt trail,
The Gold Mines at Pike's Peak.
The overland Mail brings accounts of the success
ful working of the gold mines in the vicinity of
Pike's Peak in the Rocky Mountains. A despatch
to the St. Louis Republican, under date of Septem-
Ut Pith, states that great excitement prevailed at
Fort Laramie and all along the route, and the mines
are said to he as rich as those of California. Com
panies were leaving St. Louis, St. Matthews, Fort
Atkinson and other points in Missouri, for the new
tigging*.
The I-awrcoce (Kansas) Republican of Septem
ber loth, says:
"The Lawrence boys have left Pike s Peak and
gone to Cherry Creek, where they are now
from $o to P per day in digging go d ;, J he fl V l |?ul
they go up the stream the coarser they had the
gold, and more of it. They are so well l, l ' ta ri' d
with their success that they have determined to
Winter in the mines. This news is the most reliable
of any that we have yet heard.
In the course of a conversation with Dr. ance,
of the him of Reed and Vance, Dry Creek, we
learned that the Doctor had great faith in the re
ports of gold discoveries in that vicinity, he having
prospected Cherry Creek, in the summer of l sr,d.
while on his way from Arkansas to California with
stock. Messrs. Reed k Vance now have gold dust
they found on Cherry Creek. There is no doubt ut
the existence of gold in that vicinity*, but time will
be required to demonstrate the extent and richness
of the mines. Certain it is the miners of that vi
cinity, unlike those of Frazer, will not have to wait
until the river falls.
We have no positive inf nmation of the existence
of gold in the Goose Creek mountains, although it
has long been believed, by California emigrants, to
be a gold bearing region. The Indians of that vi
cinity, however, have been too numerous and hos
tile to encourage prospecting by emigrants. The
establishment of Military posts, and overland Mail
Stations, will open that section of country to those
who desire to prospect thereabouts.
Cittino Affray.— The Santa Cruz Sentinel
contains an account of an affray that occurred at
Soquel,on Thursday, between George Boyle and
Martin Graves, growing out of a disagreement in
a trifling pecuniary matter. The former received
some half a dozen severe gashes on the top of his
head. Thg other had a piece of his ear cropped out,
Ids jugular vein grazed by the knife, and laid open,
and his face somewhat marked. Both parties bled
very profusely, and are in a critical condition.
Valuable Cargo. —The ship Iconicra, from Bos
ton. arrived at San Francisco on the 15th,biingi g
thirty-five unmarried female passengers. The Bul
letin states that they are all young women of good
character .and intend to enter into service here. It
is understood that another shipment, of about the :
same number of girls, is now on the way, and will
soon arrive.
Editorial Change.— John Charlton, Esq., has
resigned his position ns Editor of the Mountain
Messenger. His success*t is Mr. VV. S. Byrne, a
former contributor and an excellent writer. Mr*
Charlton made an excellent paper, a d deserves
success in whatever future occupation he may en
gage.
Sad Accident. —The Napa Repsrter relates that
while John Allen, of Beryessa, with his wife, and
little son, two and a half years old, were returning
home in a wagon from Napa City, the horses be
came frightened,and running against a stump, up
setting the wagon, one wheel of which passed over
the little boy, causing almost instant death, i is
wife was also injured, but not seriously,
Californians Arrested in Prussia.—lnforma
tion has been received at San Jose, to Hie effect that
R. Fisher, and N. Morris, former residents of that
place, had been arrested in Prussia, their native
country, for violating the military laws. They are
both naturalized citizens of the United-States.
Attempt to Rob.— Some rascals attempted to
rob ex-Governor Johnson, between Weuvcrvilleand
Trinity, on Saturday evening. Failing to stop him
they tired upon him, the ball passing through his
clothing. He returned the fire and escaped un
hurt.
Rumored Duel. —Rumors have been rife in San
Francisco of a hostile meeting between the Hon. J.
C. McKibben and the notorious George Penn John
ston. Mr. McKibben, however, left for Washington
on the steam rof the 20th, and Mr. Buchanan’s
U, S. Commissioner is in durance vile in Marin
county, for the killing of the lion. W. I. Ferguson.
Getting B ;ttek—We realty think our town folks
arc getting letter of their chills and fever. They
have long wished for rain, hoping it would cleanse
the atmosphere of the miasma so long hangingover
the town. Whether the rain ins had this effect or
no, we all think it has, and even that encouraging
feeling is as good as twenty grains of quinine, to
the man.
Custom House Regulations. —The Secretary
of the Treasury lias issued instructions to Collectors
of Customs, to the effect that hereafter no removals
or appointments can be made in the Custom Houses
without first receiving authority therefor from
U ashington. Applicants for subordinate positions
in Custom Houses will hereafter bear in mind that
they must first be Cobb-ed.
Fatal Accident.—Mr. Henry Cornell, a high!}
respectable farmer of lone Valley, Amador county
was engaged in loading hay when his foot slipped,
and he fell from the wagon, breaking his neck. So
we learn from the Ledger.
On' Mercy! —The Trinity Journal talks in this
wise :
•• V e regret to see that the Butte Record converts
certain genera ! remarks of ours to offensive per
sonality not intended by us. The Record Jhas free
queutty been mentioned in this paper as an exam
ple of excellent journalism. It has one peculiarly
not to be commended—a cerlain coarseness ol
words and swagger of manner in debate, and utter
absence of courtesy towards a disputant. The edi
tors do not know how to be ‘severe without being
unparliamentary/
Well, well, 3’on’ll feel better after the dose works;
but you shall have sugar-coated pills in future, We
did’nt see an “offensive personality” in your re
marks, and if you had’nt looked through a smoked
glass, you would’nt have thought so. Why, dog-on
yer, yon amuse us.
High-trail Robdert. —Stephen S. Hayden, of
Nevada county, had been to La Porte to see his
cousin, and was returning on foot for Downieville,
on Wednesday. As he trudged along with his car
pet sack and blankets, from Oak Ranch, he reached
the brow of the hill this side of the saw mill near
Monte Cristo. when the sun was about an hour
high. Just then a man dressed as a Chinaman,
with heavy whiskers, and mask on face, stepped
out before him, presented the muzzle of a double
barreled shot gun, and commanded him to stop ami
lay down his sack. He did so, and the two other
men. similarly disgul-ed. came forward, the first
drawing a cocked revolver upon him. The third
took up the carpet Sfc,ck. and taking it to one side
opened U and abstracted Hayden’s il. mey—seven
ounces in dust, the remainder in coin—amounting
to s2!>.>. The robbers then threw H. on his face,
bound a kerchief over his eyes, tied his hands be
hind him. and told him if be moved within five
minutes they would shoot him. They left. as near
ly as he could judge by the sounds, in different di
rections. He laid still as directed, for abont five
minutes, and then started on the down trail, and
airived here without a cent. He feels severely the
loss of his money, having worked hard for it at
three dollars a uay.— Sierra iJem.
Panorama of California .—George Tirreil. the
artist, is in this region, taking sketches of noted
places. Hi- views uf Downievifi and Forest City
are admirable, and will appear none the less so
w hen transferred to the canvas, on which he is
painting a magnificent panorama of California,
i’ht* views, several hundred in number, will occupy
a half mile of canvas, and the picture cannot fail to
be one of the finest ever executed. Mr. Tirreil is a
young and unassuming man, who has already de
voted the time of more than twelve months to the
commencement of a work which hi- geai is plan
ned and is capable of completing. —Sierra Citizen.
Court of Sessions —October Term.
Hon. Tho’s. Wells, Presiding Judge—J. S. Berry
and C. O. Lincoln, Associates.
Monday* Oct. 18.
Grand Jury empanneled. Tlie Grand Jury is I
composed of the following named gentlemen:

Associate Justice Berry's Charge to the
Grand Jury.
Gentlemen of the Grand Jury r
The oath which you have just taken, directs
you pointedly to the duties you have to perform as
Grand Jurors, of the present Term of this Court,
and it only remains with the Court to direct you as
to the manner of performing those duties*
You will find gentlemen the law regulating the
manner in which your deliberations shall be con
ducted, and your duties performed,embraced in an
‘ act to regulate proceedings in criminal cases."
Wood's Digest, page 284; Art.cles 14h5 to 1”)33 both
Inclusive. The court would especially call your at
tention to Sections 203--210 and 212 of said act , in
reference to the kind of evidence which will war.
rant you in finding an indictment
Your attention is also dire‘ted to section 211 of
same act by which you will see that it is within
your d esc ret ion, when a charge is made before you,
jf you have reason to believe that there is evidence
on the part of the defence to explain away the
charge, to order such evidence to be brought
before you, and it is earnestly desired by the court
that you use that discretion liberally, for whilst it
is amongst your duties to ferret out crime, you ire
at the same time, to some extent, the guardians of
the public interest, and it must be apparent to 3-011
all that indictments found on the evidence of pros
ecuting witnesses alone, when the same might be
explained away by the introduction of evidence for
the defence, will only entail upon the county an
useless expense in prosecuting the same.
Yon are also referred to section 21C of same act,
which authorizes yon to call upon the District At
torney and any member of the court, at all seasona
ble times for their advice, which right it is also
hoped you will freely exercise.
Gentlemen, your oath requires you to diligently
inquire into and true presentment make of all often
ses against the people of this State, committed or
triable within your conntv. On page 32.', Wood's
Digest, under the head of “an act concerning crimes
and punishments,” and from article 1 •>■;!> to article
20l "), both inclusive, you will find tl e general laws
defining what acts or commissions are offenses
against the laws of this State. There arc also some
other special laws concerning crimes and punish
ments, to some of which f will refer you, a- fellows:
Wood's Digest, page 472, “an act to prohibit ga
ming;” Wood's Digest, page 4 Q 5, “an act t » sup
press houses of ill-fame;’’ Wood’s Digest, page '*62.
“an a.-t to prevent ext irtion in office and to inforce
official duty:’’ also, Wood’s Dige-t. p ige G3O, reve
nue a- t especially, article 5 of sui 1 act, on page 63n
Wood’s Digest.
By reference to “an a* t concerning courts of jus- I
tice,’’ page IWo d’s Digest, you will a-certain I
that of the different offenses enumerated in the laws
to which I have referred you. that the crime of as
sault and battery* not charged to have been <• miuit :
ted iif on a public officer in the discharge of his dn- 1
ties. Pettit Larceny and all misdemeanors punish- i
able by tine not exceeding five hundred dollars or 1
impris nment in the county jail not exceed !
ingsix t; >nths, are within the jurisdiction of a Jus- j
tice’s Court, to try and disposeof finally'; at the
same time the Court of Ses-ioiis have concurrcul i
jurisdiction t-f the same offence-.
And now, gentlemen of the Jury, 1 come to a 1
matter which I wish to submit to your candid dclih- |
oration ; all offences prosecuted in this court have J
to be prosecuted by an accusation in the form of an
indictment found by your body, a- the basis of the ;
action, and whilst yon may sit for hours and even
days itt summoning evidence before you. when you
have found sufli ient to warrant an indictment, you
have only-then accused the do fondant of the of
, fence, and yon may have entailed upon the county
an expense of fifty or one hundred dollars. By the
provisions of the law in prosecuting those offences
in -I list ice’s Courts, over which they hare final juris
diction. the only proceeding necessary for the com
mencciucnt of the action is for the pm.-ecuting wit
ness to go before a Magistrate and lodge a com
plaint, and l«t the Justice take his de;>ositions in
writing as to the facts of the case, which, when
done, if those facts constitute a cause of action tlj£
dependent is as effectually accused as he would he
were your body t > .-pend a whole day in summon
ing evidence and finding an indictment against
him ; and farther, after an indictment has been
found and brought into this court, a yet heavier ex
pense is entailed upon the county in trying the
same by this court, which must under the* law try
all cases by a jury «*f twelve men, who, being under
pay. together with tw > Associate Justices, ,1 Clerk
and a Sheriff, also under pay makes in the aggre
gate quite a considerable sum as the necessary costs
of this court. Whilst in a Justice's Court those
offences are frequently tried under the law by the
| Justice, or by a number of trial jurors, less* than
twelve, at a very insignificant expense to the coun
ty as contrasted with trying them in this court. It
is therefore hoped that you refer those wishing to
make complaint of offences triable in Justice’s
Courts, unless they should appear to be of a very
aggravated character, directly to these courts,
where the matter may be speedily di.sjm.-ed of, and
if the prosecution should fail, with but a light ex
pense to the county.
Gentlemen , it i> within your province to examine
the jail, hospital and public institutions of the coun
ty. and to ascertain and report their condition, it
is also within your province t» give a searching in
vestigatiou into the financial affairs of the county ;
also into the conduct of all our financial agents of
every character.
The sheriff will now find yon with a suitable room
for your deliberation, and you will report from time
to time to the court as you see fit, fixing on your
own time for meeting and adjournment according
to your own convenience and the dispatch of busi
ness.

Indian Affairs in Humboldt. —Capt. Under
wood. of the U. S. Army, with thirty live regulars
is camped at Pardee’s ranch, to protect and escort
travellers through the hostile Indian country. He
sends a detachment over the r ad twice a week,
packers and trav filers may pass with his men in
safety. An escort of fourteen men came through to
South Fork with Mr. Loupe, mail carrier.
Underwood is an old Indian campaigner and
knows how to deaf with the pe--ts of the road. 11
M.tJ »r Raines could furnish him with a few more
troops he would very quickly rid the country of
troublesome Indians: but with his present restrict
ed force he is rendering the utmost service- a fact
which we hope will be noted elsewhere, for he is a
good, faithful officer. Indian fighters often endure
gre.it fatigue and privation and display the utmost
manly courage without receiving deserved public
honors.— Trinity Journal.
Going Home.— Californians are all “going home.”
No one expects to die here, but that before his
“summons come" he will see relatives and kindred,
in the eastern land, and that be will renew with’
them delightful associations of other years, before
he lies down with them in the dreamless sleep, un
der his native heather, and the flowers he loved
when a child, will bloom over hia grave. This \ s

l l a '.! es "’wee, a German, was struck
on the thigh by falling bed-rock, on the Kast Fork,
about four weeks ago, and the femoral artery was
obliterated, causing gangrene of the lower leg and
foot. Abscess formed above the knee, and the leg
and fool mortified in a shocking manner. On Wed
nesday the limb was amputated above the knee, by
l>r. Ira.sk, assisted by l)rs. Gordon, Thomas and
Harris, —none of whom had anything to do with
previous treatment. The femoral artery was found
destroyed at the place of cutting, but nine small
arteries seemed to supply the functions. Mortifica
tion extended half way to the knee, where slough
had commenced ; the flesh was entirely destroyed
to the bone. Spectators say that the operation was
most skilfully performed, though the limb presen
ted a most horrible spectacle. Two ambrotypes
were taken of the diseased leg and foot by Mr.
