“ And what use would if have been? re

Messrs. Editors: The ‘Bill Inis been all
the rage lierc for some time past, and it may
he a satisfaction to some to see a notice of it
in your paper. It came off last evening’, at
the Empire, according to previous announce
meat. Some difference of opinion seems to
exist, (ns is always the case, in regard to
the manner in which the company enjoyed
themselves. Some think it u dull affair, des
titnte of life, soul, or interest. Others think
it unsurpassed for f ishion, beauty, chivalry,
and pleasure. For onr part wo hold 'o the
latter opinion, and submit the facts to a can
did world.
The ladies claim onr attention first, and it
is with diffidence we approach the subject,
feeling that it is impossible to do them Justice
with pen and ink. In numbers they exceeded
the men. All were dressed in elegant taste ;
no grand display of costly fabrics, but natu
ral beauty and grace seemed to have claimed
their greatest care.
The accomplished Misses B 1 attracted
much attention, and but few young ladies
possess such amiable qualities. Miss It—
P—e looked as attractive and graceful as ev
er. Miss I—n could not help but lie the!
belle of the evening. Miss I) P—t ap
peared with her usual modest, innocent and
unassuming dignity so peculiar to herself.—
Many other ladies deserve particular notice,
and vve regret that want of time and space
prevents further comment.
Of the gentlemen, the late candidate of the
American party for Senator demands a word
of commendation for his efficiency as mana

JACKSON:
SATURDAY MORN., SKIT. 2fi. 1851
Alleged Southern Conspiracy against the
Administration.
It was of course to be expected that the eminent
and promising success with which President Bu
chanan hits thus far conducted the affairs of Kansas
would call forth from the Opposition whatever as
sault, however groundless, they might deem l>e«l
calculated to check the rising popularity of the
Administration. ‘'Freedom-screeching'’ on the
one side and “fire-eating’’ on the other had created
a dangerous turmoil, which threatened the further
existence of amicable relations between the States;
and no sooner did Mr. Buchanan succeed in fairly
starting his plan for the restoration of peace and
tranquility, upon a just and equitable basis, than
did the “freedom screeching” enemies of Democ
racy cry out, with a desperate hope of crushing
him. that there w as a split in the party and a South
ern conspiracy against the Administration!
Mr. Buchanan instructed Gov. R. J, Walker to
carry out the principles of the law organizing the
territory of Kansas, lie enjoined him to see that
popular sovereignty should prevail; to see the
laws faithfully maintained and executed, and the
public peace preserved. He directed him to see
that every buna fair citizen of the territory la
entitled to the right of free suffrage, unmolested
hy threats of violence or ruffianism. He charged
him that the enactments of the majority must be
maintained as the law of the land; and pledged to
the enforcement of these things the power of the
government. Gov. Walker, faithful to bis trust, is
exerting all his abilities as a statesman, (and they
are of a high order,) to carry outth Instructions
received from the President; and in consequence,
as before stated, peace was speedily restored for
the time, w hich still continues, with the most cheer
ing prospect of permanent tranquility hereafter.
This was altogether too much for the natural ene
mies of Democracy. Something must lie done to
slay the onward progress of Democratic principles
as signified by the successful operation of the Kan
sas Nebraska act; something to “bold in” the doc
trine of popular sovereignty; so straightway the
Abolition presses of the country get up a howl that
Mr. Buchanan and Gov. Walker are going to hare a
a le on the Constitution in Kansas—that this looks
like giving the F'ree State men an equal show with
those who favor Slavery, and that therefore the
South had conspired in its might against the Pres
ident and the Governor!
This was the beginning, and a few Southern
newspaper editors were silly enough to imagine
that “Southern Righto” were about to he invaded ;
or rather it suited their purposes to create an im
pression if possible that such was about to be the
case. The leading papers that raised their traitor
ous brawl against the righteous aclsof the Admin
istratioo in Kansas are of the stamp (many of them
identical.) that only a few years ago were bitter
Secessionist. Could any good lie expected of them?
Others were Know Nothing iu politics—for it is
known that in several ol the southern Stales the
decayed and bod-smelling carcass of Know Noth
ingism still essays, with alt the bitterness of despe
ration, smarting under defeat, to battle witli the
Democracy—still labors, although rapidly passing
out of the arena, to cast stumbling blocks in the
way of the Democratic party and Democratic prin
ciples. The organs of a faction so miserable in ev,
cry sense of the term were ol course ready to join
ia with anything that gave eve i the least promise
lof Democratic dissension. Therefore they echoed
the cry of the Abolitionist press—prated that Bu
chanan and Walker were untrue to the South—call
ed upon “Southern men” to stand up against the
“aggressions” they were about to suffer, and sought
by all the means they could employ, and all the
j brazen-faced hypocrisy at their command, to create
a sort of Union-Sectional agitation, (if we can tie
1 allowed the expression,)—that is. agitation at the
South and agitation at the North, hand in hand
against the National Administration.
But the panic proved to be even shorter lived
than might have been expected. The sterling De
mocracy of the South wi ro not to be thus wrought
u|ion: band in hand with the Democracy of the
North they sustain and support the Administration.
Very few southern Democratic papers were led
eslray—very few indeed—and the tide is already
Howing back with an irresistible torrent,enveloping
with ignominy the arch-Conspirators who set on
foot and gave distorted form to what they attempt
ed unsuccessfully and ingloriously to palm off' asa
Democratic conspiracy against a Democratic Ad
ministration. Even now they arc hiding their
heads with very shame, and the Unger of scorn
points to them us unworthy of other or further
consideration. The Washington star, received by
the last mail, uuuouuces that its table is daily
loaded witli the Democratic papers of the South,
manfully and zealously doing battle for the Ad
ministration, awl iu behalf of the patriotic course I
| of duty that ha* been pursued in the management
of Kansas affairs. They are not only willing, but
anxious that full and tree popular sovereignty shall
prevail in Kansas—that the citizen* of the territo
ry, unmolested by outside agitation or troubles
w ithin their own borders, shall lie allowed to make
their own territorial laws, and adopt a constitution
to suit themselves when they desire to be admitted
as a State of the Union.
Let us hear no more of a “Southern Conspiracy"
against the Administration. There has been no
Demoeratir conspiracy, nor will there Vie ; and it is
gratifying to know that the combined efforts of the
Abolition, Know Nothing and Secessionist presses
failed to alarm or excite any considerable portion
of the people. The country was never more tran
quil than at present ; since the days of Jackson
and the earlier fathers of the Kepublic, until now.
there has not been such implicit confidence reposed
in the Administration. The people feel that “De
mocracy is their Shield—the Stars and Stripes
their Banner." So may they ever be.
Hugh C. Murray.
Chief Justice Murray was 32 years old.
In no other State of the confederacy has so
young a man occupied so high a judicial po
sition. He was a mi u of superior legal
mind, and was capable of elucidating clearly
the most intricate questions of law and equi
ty. If is intellect was far above mediocrity.
In his social relations Judge Murray was
o|>eu and frank. He made no parade of hi*
virtues, and scorned to conceal his errors. His
friends were warm ami devoted ; his enemies
bitter and oftentimes malignant. The former
he cherished warmly and sincerely; the latter
were the objects of his superlative contempt.
In an intellectual point of view, they were
generally ns cure barking at the heels of a
giant. The reflect now shown to the mem
ory of the illustrious deceased establishes the
high estimation in which the Chief Justice
was held. The courts of the State and the
members of the bar are foremost in doing
I honor to his name. Jndge Murray was of
Scotch descon'; his mother and brother arc
residing in Illinois, where the subject of tins
notice was raised and educated. Judge M.
was through the Mexican war, and came to
California in 1849.
Buena Vista Ranch. —J. D. Mason, Esq ,
has purchased the well known Ikena Vista
Ranch, (in the lower part of this county.)
containing 280 acres of very desirable farm
ing land, for which he paid $6,00'). M". M.
lias long been successfully engaged at mining
in Volcano, and we wish him all :he pleasure
he anticipates, and more too, in tlie enjoyment i
of his good fortune. That is a noble occu
pation which causes “ two spears of grass to \
grow where but one grew before.” We arc
confident that under the management of onr
friend, the beautiful ranch of which we speak
will become, (if it is not already; one of the
most productive farms in the State.
Literary Dodge.— One of those unfortu
nate individuals who are continually thirsty,
as usual found himself out of funds a few
days ago and therefore unable to get his mor
ning nip; so borrowing n book under pre
tence of wanting to read it, he marched into
the Union Hotel and asked “if George was
up.” On being answered, by the barkeeper,
in the negative, he told him very confidently
that “he wanted to borrow four bits to get
the second volume of that work as he had
read this one and was very much interested.”
The barkeeper on examining the book found
it was entire and had no second volume, so
the dodge did’nt win.
Nec.ro Convention. —The colored people of
Amador County held n convention at the
court house in this place on Monday night of
this week, the main object of which was to
send delegates to a Stale convention to be
held in San Francisco in October. Several
very intelligent |>crsons were present and
spoke in a very sensible manner, while others
made a good deal of sport in their efforts at
speaking. Some of them appeared to feel
very dubious about entrusting any one with
the funds necessary to pay the expenses of
the delegates. Mr. Addison and Mr. Brooks
were finally elected as delegates. Several
subscribers were obtained lor the “ Mirror
of the Times” newspaper which is the organ
of the colored people of the Stale. Taking
it altogether, the meeting was highly credit
able to colored folks who participated in it.
Firemen. —The boys were out with the
“machine” on Monday evening for the pur
pose of filling the cistern at the foot of main
street. After filling the cistern they tried
their skill at throwing water, wetting all the
neighboring houses with ease. The boys
take a great deal of trouble and time in prac
ticing with their engine, and keeping it in
good order, and arc entitled to the thanks of
the community.
The California Minstrels passed through
this place u few days ago, and it is quite pos
sible they may return during the coming
week to give our citizens “ a touch of their
quality.” They are “A No. 1,” —sure.
The Vote t on Stanley.— Taking the State
at large, the actual Republican vole is much
smaller than that east for Mr. Stanley. Mr.
S. was nominated by the Settlers, on which
account he received several thousand votes.
Next Congress— Democrats, 125; Re
publicans, 91; Americans, 16; two vacancies.
Democrats over R. and A , 18. How do the
opposition “like the picture?"
Balt Lake.
Tiic question ns to whether Utah shall be
admitted into the Union os a State, with a
constitution framed by the Mormons to suit
themselves, has already excited warm discus
sion. After the dcvelopcments of the last
eighteen months or two years, there is no
doubt o'pretty general desire to avoid its ad
mission; and yot the government would be
loth to refuse it, for the reason that Each re
fusal would seem to be against the principle
of religions toleration laid down in the con
stitution. Yet something must be done.
1 1 is said that Senator Douglas proposes
the repeal of the law organizing Utah Ter
ritory, by which procedure entire control and
I jurisdiction would revert to the U. S. Gov
ernment, and offenses committed in Utah
would be tried in the U. S. Courts of adjoin
ing States and Territories.
This Utah question may yet cause a deal
i f trouble. Notwithstanding the reports to
the contrary, we arc of opinion that the Mor
mons are altogether 100 cunning to actually
and openly resist United States officers, or
the operation of United States laws. They
will hardly commit any overt act of treason;
for then it would be the duty of the Govern
ment to punish them, and the extinction of
Morraonism, at least us a formidable local
organization, would be speedily accomplished.
If the Mormons can manage to avoid open
rebellion and a consequent collision until the
admission of Utah as a State can no longer
be put off, then indeed there may be danger
that a system of priestcraft and polygamy
that would have disgraced the dark ages will
be in the nineteenth century inaugurated in
one of the sovereignties of this Republic.—
It will be by no means necessary, for their de
signs, that jwlygatny shall be expressly per
mitted in the constitution under which they
shall ask to be admitted—it may be entirely
silent and unobjectionable on the subject of
Mormonism generally.
So foul a heresy, even if thus established,
could only exist temporarily in this enlight
ened age; yet wc earnestly hope— for the
sake of the Christian religion and good mor
als, for the sake of the fair fame of the coun
try—that even the temporary establishment
of Mormonism in Utah us a State may be
spared to the people of the United States J
and of the world.
The President of the Young Men’s Deba
ting Club, (J U Bradley, Esq.,) last Satur
day evening delivered a written and able de
cision on the merit of the arguments adduced
upon the “Territorial Slavery” question. The
decision was for the negative—that is, accord
ing to the argument, that Congress should
not interfere to prevent the extension of sla
very in the Territories The Club voted to
publish it, but wc have been unable to pro
cure a copy The debate on the career of
Walker in Nicaragua was highly interesting;
it will lie continued and probably concluded
this evening. We arc requested to state
that the meetings are public.
Ocean Telegraph. —The wires are being
laid between the new world and the old. The
first message is to be just what it should be—
“ Glory to God in the highest! Peace on
Earth and good will to men.” Then our
president and Britain's queen will exchange
congratulations. By-the-by, the Sac. Bet
says that in 1849 the London Gazelle had
the following sneering paragraph :
“A telegraph across the Atlantic has been
mentioned or proposed in the Congress at
Washington, which we have no doubt will be
executed us soon as there is gold enough from
California to make the wires.”
Carson Valley. —Reliable accounts from
Carson Valley indicate that the Mormons
have been called to Salt Lake by Brigham
i Young. They have readily sold out their
farms to emigrants. The valley presents an
exceedingly lively appearance, a large num
ber of emigrants having arrived, with vast
numbers of horses, cuttle and mules. A good
deal of stock will be wintered in the valley.
The out-going of Mormons and the influx of
immigrants will greatly advance the prospect
of organizing a New Territory, to be called
Columbus or Columbia.
Associate Jcstices. —The newly elected
Justices of the Peace for Amador county
will meet in Jackson at 10 o’clock A. M. on
the sth day of October, for the purpose of
electing from their number two Associate
Justices of the Court of Sessions. See no
tice over the signature of Judge Gordon.
Sacramento and El Dorado counties voted
for a heavy lux—an aggregate of $45,000 we
believe—to build a road over the mountains.
There was high glee for a time; but it seems
after all that there is no power to levy the
tax— not for the present at least.
The Slate Journal says Win. 11. Seward
is a candidate for President iu 1860, and that
he wants the Republicans of California to
present him first! The fate of Fremont and
the result of the election this year in Califor
nia should dissuade Mr. Seward from the lat
ter part of his programme.
It is thought the California immigration
this year will reach 25,000 or 30,000 per
sons, many of whom are women and children.
There will be a belter chance than formerly
for bachelors to become beuedicts,
The Retiring Board.— We omitted, last
week, to mention the sine die adjournment of
the Board of Supervisors in whose hands the
affairs of Amador county have been entrust
ed for the past year. It is risking nothing
to say that they retire with the full and
abiding confidence of their constituents. We
have yet to hear of any serious complaint
against any of their acts or proceedings, and
we know that in all instances they pursued
that policy which to them seemed most ad
vantageous for the county, avoiding at the
same time the infringement of private rights.
How far they were successful us the mana
gers of the county business is best proved by
the prosperous condition in which they leave
the same. No money has been squandered;
economy has been practised, and a general
supervision of affairs carefully attended to.
They need to ask no better eulogy than the
record they leave behind them.
The duties of the Supervisors are onerous
—much more so than is generally supposed.
They are the superintendents of the entire
business of the county; and their responsibili
ty is only equaled by the arduous labor they
are compelled to perform. The members of
the old Board—Mr. Severance of the Ist Dis
trict, Mr. Kingsley of the 2d, and Dr. Brown,
(President) of the 3d—no doubt gladly give
place to their successors. The Board could
have had no more efficient President than
Dr. Brown.
Mrs. Ji'lia Dean H.wne.—This talented
lady is shortly to make a second trip to the
mountains, nnd we arc gratified to learn (hut
Jackson is to be one among the first places
she ..ill visit. As a tragedienne, Mrs. 11.
ranks among tho first in America; and she
will of course be supported by a talented
and s’ pcr'or company. Theatricals of this
kind wi,l be appreciated us an intellectual
feast by t ’ people of the mountains; the
more so, when it is remembered that they are
so often compelled to submit to the gross im
posilions which are practiced by the traveling
humbugs that arc continually traversing the
State from one end to the other.
New School House. —Mr. Tuckaberry is
working with commendable zeal in the new
school house enterprise, and we are glad to
learn that our citizens are subscribing liber
ally. Subscriptions to the amount of over
SBOO have already been obtained. It is pro
posed to erect a comfortable and roomy brick
building. The church edifice in which the
school is now taught cannot possibly be kept
warm in winter; and it is therefore earnestly
to be hoped that the new building will be
ready to be occupied by the time cold and
wet weather may be expected to commence.
To accomplish this our citizens must lend
prompt and ready assistance.
The Israelites. —The Israelites of this
place and vicinity dedicated their new syna
gogue, during the Jewish New Year Holi
days, with all due ceremony. Their stores
were closed on the days they held service.—
On Sunday evening the fust of the Atone
ment commences, nnd will continue until Mon
day evening; it will be duly observed.
State Vote. —Thu returns arc not yet
complete, though very nearly so. Weller,
61,981; Bowie, 19,433; Stanly, 20,940.
Weller beating Bowie 32,548, St..icy 30,-
040, and both of them 11,608. “Pay the
Debt” has 40,182 majority. There are 12,-
356 more votes “Fur” than “Against” a Con
vention; yot the Convention fulls fur short of
a majority of all the votes cast.
Fruit. —Our market is still supplied with
choice apples, peaches and grapes. The ap
ples are from Oregon and are excellent; the
peaches are from this vicinity, principally from
the orchard of Horace Kilhatn, and can
scarcely he excelled. If the quantity of fruit
continues to increase as it has for two years
past, it will soon be as plenty here as in any
of the other Stales.
Pen-Printing. — We have had presented
to us a most beautiful specimen of pen-prin
ting by Albert Buhlcrt of this place. It
equals iu its ornamenting any of the illumi
nations to the ancient manuscripts. The spec
imen can be seen at this office, uud is
“THE LEDGER OFFICE.”
It has attracted much attention.
Dull.- -That business is rather dull in this
place just nt the present, it would be useless
to deny ; it is tho time of year when dull
times must be expected. Nevertheless, our
business men appear to be doing a living bu
siness, with a fine prospect for a healthy
winter trade. The Court of Sessions, Board
of Supervisors and District Court will be in
session next mouth, wh.ch will enliven the
business of the town for a time.
The State Fair,— Large numbers of per
sons in this vicinity ami other purls of the
county ure making preparations to visit the
State Fair, which commences at Stockton
on Tuesday next. We are told that lone
\ alley w ill be pretty much depopulated du
ring the Fair w .-ek.
