<i hss deen iceea Ss Fan, Pome ‘cigeo are ina terrible stew,and are bending every energy to retain the old officere. Even the Bank of California, which. it is claimed controls the money market of the coast,’ talks abouta panic'. because; forsooth, an is to be eubstitated for Felton. Has the great banking concern any connection with the deposits in the vaults of the Mint, that its stockholders should shiver at the prospect of Cheeseman’s getting the key? Has its investments in White Pine so drawn upon its coffers, that it cannot stand » temporary suspension of business at the Mint, in order to allow a transfer of the establishment to new officers?’ It looks very much to us as though the fuss‘about the change of officers in the Mint was either a political trick of the friends of the present inctuubents, ors selfish act of those who expect to be benefitted by their retention. Why did not the Chamber of Commerce, the Bank of California and or e other moneyed interests tn San Fran= ‘ciseo barst out in virtuous indignation when Cheeseman was outed and Felton substituted in his place? Cheeseman wasa good officer, and he managed the business of the Mint well. But when he was removed there was no panic, the Bank of. California did not restrict its loans, the Chamber of Commerce did not protest,nor was there a financial panic in the metropolis: We do not bélieve it would follow another change. We do not discuss the manner of the new appointments, but we know that they, having been regularly appointed to office are entitled toy their commissions, and in view of this fact the action of the political tricksters.of San Francisco in keeping them out, by pretending to fear a financial crisis if the Mint should stop coining long’enough to transfer the business, is. ag disgraceful as it is ridiculous. We have no-deubt that those gentlemen will be commissioned as soon as the true state of the fight is properly represented at Washington, and the sooner the money lenders, who can't stand 4 brief suspension of work at the Mint “burst, the better for the country. Sandmcrion Wa, were yesterday called on by Mr. Taylor, of the Nevada and Grass Valley toll road, who informs us that the fence at the ‘Town Talk was put there for the purpose of preventing persons from driving into the ditch, as they were liable to do in passing that way. The fence has been removed and people can now drive into the ditch if they desire. We are also informed that 7 “the toll keeper collected a little more than he ought from parties who traveled the Crandall road, on the first day o two after the Toll gate was moved te the ‘Town Talk, but not moreabin authorised by law. As soon as this was known the error was corrected, and since then the toll has been the same. Mr. Taylor further informs us that he is now having slate rock and gravel put on, and. that it is his purpose to make a good road of it. As he has had control but eight months he has hardly had a fair chance to show how much he can do. These explanations we cheerfully make, as we have no desire to do injus, tice to any parties, even tor the sake of aiding a good case. _ Ex-QurEn Isabella has = received twenty large trunks filled with her jewelry and dry goods, restored to her by the Provisional Government. The value of her property is estimated at $300,000. Rectyr visitors to Victor Hugo say he has of late become very silent jin regard to the Emperor Napoleon, and no longer abuses him as formerly. It is surmised that he is soon to return to France. ROBERT GARDENER, of Yoto;-«-miller until lately, anda delegate to the National Republican Convention in 1864, went on to Washington lately for an office, and has been appointed to be Register of the Humboldt Land Office. Seward, he crossed. the plains for California; and corresponded from there fora ‘time; but for eight years“has not been heard from, except that a ramor has reached his father that he -was in this city three or four. years since, John Marble of Omaha, Nebraska, wishes information in regard to the present whereabouts of his brother, Lewis Marble, who, when . last heard from, sixteen ‘months since, was driving an express from Virginia City to Reno. Also of the persons who corresponded with A. Watson, Austin, Nev. Also, of Thomas McGill, Nevada City, Cal. Said persons will please call at the post office of this city, wherothey will ascertain something to their advantage, and where the writers’ photographs may be seen. A DeAp SxHor,—In a: mining camp a few days since, an old toper went into store and called for some liquor. Some one present remarked that “it would and as he crossed the sill fell in a stupor, where he slept soundly for some time. A: report was immediately circu. lated that a couple of parties residing in the place: furnished the liquor and put poison into it. This coming to the ears of an ancient female, who kept drinkables and thought she had lost a customer, posted after the supposed poisoners and saluted them with, “Mein Got, vat vill you do mit de pody of him vat you killed?” They denied, but she persisted that they were guilty of murder, until an examination of the sleeper satisfied her to the contrary, when she declared, “Dat is the fastest vishkey as never yas, it vill kill intwo shots.” THE Chronicle says: “Several of the guards at the State Prison have resigned theirappointments within the past faw days, in consequence of not receiving their pay. It is stated that the pay of these officers is only $50 per month, which is paid in scrip, which cannot be sold for more than sixty cents on the, dollar.” Tue Republicans of Trinity county says the Yreka Journal, nominate this, year on the Crawford system, it having been recommended by their last County Convention. If Shasta and Siskiyou counties adopt the same plan, there will be no need of holding a Judicial Convention for District Judge,.as the vote can be made by the party direct, at the primaries.

Edwards, “but I will take the swords of those officers” pointing to the Colonels by his side. They were handed to him. “Now order your men to lay down their arms and pass to the rear with this guard.” They obeyed, and a whole brigade of Louisianians,the fumous Fifth and Sixth among them, permitted themselves to be disarmed and marched to the rear as prisoners of war by Col. Edwards and less than a dozen men of his regiment.
