®Jw §hjtoulw grrss. B. P. AVERY, EDITOR. SATURDAY, : : : : : JANUARY 7, 18G0. Legislative. —The eleventh session of the Legislature of this State began at Sacramento on Monday, the 2d inst. Of the eighty mem bers composing the Assembly, sixty-nine are -classed as Administration Democrats ; • and of the thirty-five Senators, twenty-eight belong to the same political school ; giving that party supreme control of the Legisla ture. The members of both houses are said to be characterized by an unusual degree of talent, correct deportment and business ap titude. The Assembly was organized by the almost unanimous election of Phil Moore, of Nevada, to the Speakership. On the fol lowing day Jas. M. Anderson was elected Clerk, all other officers chosen and the usual preliminary business transacted The Sen ate elected J. N. Quinn, President pro tern., and J. R. Beard, Secretary. Both branches determined to do without a Chaplain, and both exhibit an economical disposition. On Wednesday the Governor’s message was ex pected, but he only sent in a notification of the Senatorial vacancy to be filled Some Skirmishing ensued on this matter. Beyond tlie canvassing of the gubernatorial election returns, and the adoption of a resolution urging our Congressional representatives*to favor the creation of a new' territorj- in ! Western Utah, nothing of importance was | ■done, and probably will not be until after the inauguration next Monday. The Gov- 1 ernor’s annual message was probably re ceived on Thursday. Western Utah.—The principal items from the eastern slope now-a-days are about the weather, which has been extremely cold and stormy, much to the mortification ns ! well as discomfort, of tlie early residents who praised to new-comers the mildness of the winters. Snow five feet deep and the thermometer ten degrees below zero, have proved a shocking surprise to hundreds of unprepared Californians, some of whom are literally living in caves and holes. A gen tleman from the mines informs ns that the most comfortable dwellings are those made in the side of a hill by excavation .and fronted with stone. Mining operations are pretty much stopped, though some parties are running prospecting tunnels at different localities. There is no reason lo doubt that the severity of the present winter is e»cep tional. We observe from St. Louis papers that the cold weather extends as far cast as that city, where the thermometer at sunrise •on the 7th ult. stood four degrees below zero. Newspaper Enterprise.— The Union and Bulletin have made arrangements which en able them to present full telegraphic reports of eastern news two days later than that the overland mail stage brings ont ef St. Louis, publishing it exclusively a day or two before the stage reaches San Francisco. Despatches are sent, by special agents, to Springfield, Mo., the farthest western tele graph station, two days and a half after the mail leaves St. Louis; and from Fircbangh, California, they are again telegraphed to San Fraucisco aud Sacramento. IGI and 240 miles farther. This is truly a great en terprise. The first despatches under the new arrangement occupied nearly four col umns of Tuesday's Union. Vigilance in Yuba.—The Marysville Ex press is Informed by a correspondent that there exists in the locality of the Oregon House an organization numbering about eight hundred persons, who style themselves and make it their unrighteous duty to supplant the law by arresting and punishing offenders against peace and prop erty without legal process. It was this mob, or some of them, that arrested the highway robber who was reported to have been bung, but who really escaped, leaving behind a re volver, a gold watch and some money. Homeward Bound.— J. Williams, Esq., ed itor of the Territorial Enterprise —the pioneer paper of Western Utah—left this place (or Downieville, on his way home after a brief visit to California, last Sunday. Mr. Wil liams occupies an important and interesting position, and is fitted to discharge the du ties of it with firmness and ability. We wish him and the embryo Territory every success. Masonic. —At a stated communication of Quitman Lodge, No. 88. F. k A. M., held at Orleans Flat, Dec. 271 h, 185®, the following officers were installed for tbc ensuing year : S. O. Peas, W. M.; Jno. P. Brinton. S. W.; C. B. Jones, J. W.; Felix Feist, Treas.; B. V. Barry, Secy.; J. M. Gray, S. D.; Sl.Con nelly, J. D.; W. R. Morrow, Tyler; P. B. Openheim, Marshal. The Dashaways. —This new temperance organization has grown in one year from five or six members up to a membership of 2,500 in San Francisco alone, and has branch societies in 13 Atlantic States, in Washing ton Territory, Oregon, the Sandwich In lands, and even in Europe. An effort is making to establish a branch iu North San Juau. The Red Bluff Beacon urges upon the cit izens of Tehama county the necessity of building a good wagon road westward to the foot hills of the Coast Range, where the Iforae-Lackee Reservation is located, mid where there has been much increase of pop ulation, stock and cultivated land within a rear or more. A RETROSPECTIVE GLANCE, The year ltss9, deceased last Saturday at midnight, was crowded with memorable events. In it occurred tbc one hundreth an i niversaiy of the birth of Sohiller, Handel I and Burns—a melodious trinity, who were severally honored by the most spontaneous, hearty and universal ovations ever decreed lo kindred servitors of the race by admiring millions. The humane lesson of these cel ebrations was painfully contrasted with the three month’s war in Italy, which caused the death df at least 100,000 brave fellows, by force or disease, made thousands of wid ows and drp'hans, find sowed the seeds of future conflicts. In ftfr oft’ China, the per severing artemp'ts of "Europeans to compel an exclusive anil Jealotrs 'people into rela tions of neighborly reciprocity, led’-to'more bloodshed and the ignominious defeat of British valor on the waters of the Pt-fho— a defeat "which gave Americans an opportu nity to exhibit the noblest friendship. Dur ing the year, the last of the mttny expedi tions that have dared the regions of Arctic desolation ended the suspense concerning the fate of Sir John Franklin, and found the ice-entombed remains of some of his follow ers. This expedition was the last effort of a constant wife, whose faithfulness will ever be an example and a theme in history.— Some of the world’s greatest souls have de parted. Metternich, the wily minister of Austria, who was powerful when the first Napctlcon dived and continued so for half a century afterwards, went out in the tempest of the Italian ■wan. Humboldt, the most learned and cosmopolitan modern brain, who condensed into his -‘-Cosmos” the sum of man’s knowledge of the Universe—he, too, departed, calmly, at the "very time he fore saw, with God’s sun shining in’his vener- 1 able face. Brunei and Stephenson, tibe great mechanics of England, the builders of river ] tunnels, tubular bridges, Crystal Palaces I and Great Easterns—also lay down in deatn; j followed by Leigh Hunt—the young hearted, i freedom loving poet, who was cotemporary with Byron, ShcTiey, Coleridge, ’Wordsworth, Southey, Scott, Keats, Moore and Campbell —and by our own sunny, pure minded Ir ving—historian, essayist, humorist and prose poet, who gave new melody to a language already softened by an Addison and Gold smith. Horace Mann went with them after doing as much, by his successful efforts to reform and Improve our system of public education, as a-ny -other man of his time for the elevation of tbe masses. The past year has been further remarkable for the destruc tive storm on tbc English coast, In which the Royal Charier went down with four bun dred souls: for unusual volcanic activity and the earthquake of Ezercura; for the discovery of another planet, as predicted by Levcr rier, the finder of Neptune; for the rich silver discoveries in Western Utah: tbc threatening San Juan affair; for the wild at tempt of "old Brown,” at Harper's Ferry, to achieve freedom for unasking slaves—an at tempt followed by a great panic, a Union wide excitement, a brave death scene and ill-timed Congressional agitation; for the mountebank fearlessness of Rlondin, who crossed Niagara on a stretched rope; and for the balloon flights of Wise and La Mountain, surpassing all previous attempts at navi gating the air. Spain was about to war with the Moors again, after an interval of centu ries; and the nqiorted conclusion of a treaty of alliance between our government and the Liberalists of Mexico, renders the prospect of a little fighting for Americans not im-' probable. Across two oceans came fearful rumors, and the old year expired under the brfMtding shadow of prospective strife, yet amid an under current setting towards pro gressive achievements and ultimate peace. So mole it be. * AGiticn.Ti-RAL. —Unusually extensive pre parations for tilling the soil are going on in this county and adjoining portions of Yuba county. In the foot-hills especially, we should judge, from what has come under oar own observation recently, that tbe amount of cultivation this year will be nearly double what it was before. A great deal of land is being fenced in and plowed, and all of the most eligible and accessible sites not heretofore improved are either un der tilth or claimed. People are beginning to know that a little farm on the public land, near the largely consuming mining commu nities, is more profitable and more pleasant than a big ranch on some unsettled Spanish grant away from a market. A system of mixed husbandry i« generally pursued. The richest, moistest spots are devoted to hor -1 ticultnral purposes, while tbe dryer red soil | is made to yield what grain and hay are needed, and is used for pasturage. Much of it. will yet be planted with grape vines an«l fruit trees. Improved land in the moun tains is now held at good prices, and fre quently command* them. Patches of an acre or two, fenced, containing a few young fruit trees, and situated in the suburbs of our best mining towns, have been sold for from £2OO to £4OO, and with a very little more improvement could not be had for that. The land around North San Juan, not count ing about forty private gardens, is fenced in for half a mile in every direction, except that of the diggings. Much of this is no doubt held for speculative purposes, but more and more of the enclosures are occu pied every month by families, and improved by cultivation and the erection of neat cot tages. Further off larger enclosures are made and occupied by persons who follow ranching ns-their sole occupation Few Cal ifornia towns can exhibit such a healthy progress as these facts indicate. THE MINES. The mining operations now going on upon the Rtflge are chiefly of a preparatory char acter. except at two or three localities where I washihg is being prosecuted with fair re- I suits. At Columbia Hill the prospects are very flattering fttr -a flitnre.— Washing has been profitably resumed not only here but at the sm*rotinding diggings of Kennebec, Chimney and ’Grimly Hills. A large population is gathering at this point. Several buildings for stores and dwellings are going up, and the village wears the lively appearance of an old-time thriving mining camp. Columbia Hill is bound to be a place of consequence—all owing to cheap water. At San Juan a number of companies are washing with the usual results; bi/t at Sweetland and Hirchville nearly every com pany is laying ‘by until such time as water can be obtained at rates compatible with the yield 'the diggings. Thfe general anxiety in this regard seems abouVto be relieved We have'be'C’n informed that the Eureka Lake Company lias effected a sale of two-fifths of its stock to the Truckbe Lake Company, for entertained heretofore, as to the ability of the Eureka Lake Company to extend their ditch to this part of the Ridge, arc by this important transfer set completely at rest. — The extension is already under way, and in a few weeks will be completed. The new ditch is throe fbet deep, two and a half feet wide on the bottom, 6’nd ‘five fed wide at top. with a grade ot sixteen fed fid in Flo, and its capacity is folly 2,000 inches. To bring water from it onto San Juan Hill a long, high flume will have to be constructed at a reported expense of $15,000 ; t'hotigh it is not impossible iron pipe may be used in stead of a flume. As to the capacity of’the Company to supply water, we are positively assured that fro in 5,000 to 6,000 inches can be furnished for every day in the year. As not more than half or two thirds of this is consumed up the Ridge, the remainder will flow through the new ditch to Sweetland, Rirchville, and ultimately to San Juan We •thirds it may now be considered certain, that the desire of the miners to have cheap water is soon to be gratified. It is suppesed by some that the Truckec Lake Co., not having a sufficient market for their water in Sierra county, will run it on to'this Ridge. Whether there is any proba bility of this cr not we cairn ot say. The ca pacity of the Truckec ditch is about 4.000 inches, if we remember rightly, and its sup ply is drawn from rtie Middle Ynba. At the head waters of that stream the company has a mammoth reservoir, the dam of which is ninety feet high, from which can be drawn 2,000 inches a day Tor six months, line Water being stored in The Spring. It is reported that the Middle Yuba Canal Company had proposed a plan of consolida tion to the Eureka Lake Company, which was positively refused. The sale of stock effected by the latter company, it is sa-rd, will enable it to clear its properly <of Tu debtedness and leave a cash balance of *IOO,OOO. We give these reports for what they may be worth, hs a part of the focal hisWrymf the week. A law before (he Missouri Ix'g'i slainre pro vides that no candidate shall he eligible to a Judicial office if he be the nominee of a po litical party or convention unless he ex pressly repudiates (lie same through the public papers, that a separate poll shall be opened for judges at elections, and that plain while tickets only, shall be used con taining the names of all the candidates. The provision for a separate election ought to be everywhere adopted. Souu Grape Independence. —That of the Anti-Lecompton journals who would faiti 1*; back in the "regular” fold.

Hureirl n vest of stock in any man who has a chance for the places a«d wouldn't have- We’re sluing cross-legged on out- own nail-keg, and looking compla cently on to see who will be the uppermost dog in the fight. The Grass Valley National discusses the topic of temperance organisations, and comes to this conclusion 1 A temperance pledge, or Dashaway ex citement is a means of a very inefficient character to reform a man who loves whis key better than he does his wife, his chil dren, his mother, his father, his honor, his health, or aught else on earth a mao should hold dear. A proposed amendment to the present Constitution of the Sandwich Island king dom, approved by the King and providing that no person shall be eligible for the office of Legislator wilhonl a property or an in come of at least SI,OOO, it is thought will have the ultimate effect, if adopted, to pass the legislative control of the Hawaiian group into the hands of Americans and other for eigners, who are the principal property owners. During twenty-one months preceding last July, 149 Dutch trading vessels arrived at the Japanese port of Nagasaki. It is prob able that California will soon rival Holland in the good graces of the lacquer-ware is landers. The two cargoes of Japanese sta ples that arrived last week are pregnant in dications of the future. Another Inman Battle. —The Eel River Rangers—thirteen men—under Capt. Jarboe, lately fought ninety Indians on South Eel river, wounding thirty of them, killing as many more. Three of the Rangers were wounded. Other reported. The cost of a railroad from Auburn to Nevada, is estimated by the Democrat at $1,200,000. The grade would be eighty feet to the mile.

Our object was to present facts ; if wc have been misinformed the mining community ought to know it. A water spout of huge dimensions w r as observed along the coast at Santa Cruz last week.
