About sixty hands are employed to work these the ridge, and can be worked for many years to come, Nearly all the ownérs of these claims reside at Sebastopol, consequently a large pro-' portion of the money taken out of the claims is retained and: expended in the vicinity, mostly at San Juan. + —Ehe claims of Miller, Furth & Co., on the south ‘end of.

Evans, Stidger & Co. by an English company, situ. ated below the town of Sweetland, are paying remarkably well. Alarge number of men are employed to work these claims. : Under the auspices of Messrs. Bell & Co., of French Corral, a new ditch is projected to carry water from the South Fork of the Yuba river to all pointg.on thé ridge below Cherokee. A survey of the route was made last year, passing down along the north side of the Middle Yuba, to the junction of that river with the Main Yuba, but was given up as too expensive. Nowa survey will be-made along the ridge on the north side of the Middle Yuba to a point opposite Badger Hill, near Cherokee, thence passing south of San Juan to Sweetland and points below. The ditch will be about twenty miles in length, with @ capacity sufficiently large so has the right to re-occupy the Island at any time. Now the interests of as to carry from 2,500 to 3,000 inches of water, and could be completed by next Fall, if an early start should be and to be held paramount to the interest of the Railroad company by Congress, and by the people of the interior. At the same time. we do San Francisco is calculated to gain friends inthe interior of the State. They first started to bully the fight through, and are now ready to lay the whole city at the feet of the Railroad company. The committee of citizens propose to build a bridge over the Bay and give it to the Railroad, to build a bulk-head at Misson Bay and give it to the railroad, to run street Railroads to the wharves and ware-houses in other parts of the city, and give the free use of them to the Railroad, in fact this comnaittee would be willing to give the half of the city to the Railroad if the monopoly would only consent to cross the Bay. We think a lease of Goat Island under restrictions protécting the people would be less the concessions proposed by San Franeisco. The power of the. Railrord company would be much greater, and it would be able to control the State more easily under the project proposed by this committee then by -the acquisition of Goat Island. The people of San Francisco to gain the support of the interior in this matter, must fight the Railroad company upon principle and aidin the reduction of freights and fares, in the just assessment of property and not conduct the contest entirely upon selfish ground. ‘The people must be satisfied that the heavy taxes imwill be removed, avd that San Franeisco is in sympathy with the interior and then the people will be ready to take a hand in the contest, Tur late fair of the Marysville German Catholic Church, netted) lg lll ANDERSON Cox well knewn citizen of Waitsburg (W.

It has been the practice, in years past, with-many noted preachers of the Gospel, to describe and dilate with wonderful eloquence and bloodfreezing minuteness, upon the sufferings of the wicked in the world to come; sufferings that, in each individual, will equal and surpass the accumulated horrors, despairs, griefs and agonies of the whole race of mankind, and that to all eternity! On Wednesday. evening the Elder undertook to show, and it would seem did show, from the Scriptures, that there is no ground for any such teachings; that God does not delight to see his creatures -suffer, neither here nor hereafter; that the punishment or ‘‘end’’ of the wicked will be, not eternal sufferings, but death, or a return to their original state before they lived at all. _He read_a large number of passages which speak of the ungodly as being ‘‘cut off,’”’ ‘‘dostroyed,’’ ‘“‘burnedaup—reot and branch,”’ ‘“‘consumed,’’ “‘perishing,’’ ““dying,’’ going to ‘‘nothing,”’ being ‘no more,”’ being ‘‘as though they had not been,’’ etc. A lively interest was manifested and is evidently increasing. . One gentleman reimarked, that if the religious leaders continued te stay away and let the Elder alone, he would revolutionize the community as to religious things. We shall see. One remark of the Elder, made with much earnestness, ' was to this effect: that the preaching of the common view of future punishment, instead of leading men to be good, and love and obey God, has the effect of leading thinking mindi hate Him and reject the Bible altogether, and makes more inthe opposite of what he believes and preaches.
