Deca¥ oF THE INTERtOR.—One or two
papers and about the saine nuniber of per:
gons are continnally writing er talking
about the decay of the interior of this State.
Complaints of the same sort are. feund in
the mines. ‘These growlers stand arouad
ou the street corners with hands in their
pockets, out at the elbows, without having
sf © struck a blow for years, aod talk pathetically about the exhausted mines and dull
times, when all around them enterprising
wen are taking out-their thousands. New
mills are being built and the evidences of
prosperity are more apparent than ever before. There ig another class. of. croakers
who have recently figured in—the—hegislature asthe opponents of the Specific Contract Act. They talk about the decay of.
the State, the depopulation of towns, and .
the wasted fields, and trace all these evils
which exist only in their own imaginations
to the Specific Centract law. Gen. Evans,
in his speech in favor of repeal, said: ‘The
depopulated towns all:through the country,
protest —againstthe-financial_policy of foreign bankers who have brought this state
of things about:” It-is unfortunate for
the General's. illustration thatthe state of
things pictured by. him do not exist, and
those of our readers-who took out-upon the
hillsides all. over the county at the smoke
curling up from the score of new quartz
mills which have been erected during the
past year, will be astonished that any one
could seriously talk about idle mills. The
thumping of stamps is heard in almost every ravine in this county. Prospecting is
prosecuted with more energy than ever’ before; the rich placer mines are yielding
large returns, and with another twelve
months the number of quartz and cement
mills will be almost doubled. This progressis not confined to Nevada county alone,
Our exchanges from Placer, Sierra, Shasta,
Alpine, Plumas, Calaveras and almost every
mining county, teem with accounts of new .
discoveries and rich leads, and everywhere
throughout the mines there are unmistakable evidences of renewed energy and increased prosperity in mining. The sales of
our merchants were never so large as during
the last season, and the shipment of freight
to the mountains has been larger than for
years. While this ia true, miners were
never more prompt inthe payment of their
debts. Capital is becoming more ready to
investia mines, and during the past twelve
months money from the East has been invested more largely than for any five years
since the discovery of gold. If these be
‘Tae’ Re
ber to-day, sajwthe Bee of the 15th. Senor
came into the Chamber in company with
Senor Pacheco, State Treasury of California,
ard of San Mateo moved that Senor Godoy,
Counsel of the-Repwbhe of Mexico, be invi-:
ted toa seat beside the Speaker. This ino“tion Wae carried unanrmously. A commit
tee was appointed to conduct the Consul to
the seat. When he had taken it, Mr. Hopper of Sacramento moved that the Assembly take a recess for five .minutes to give
tree cheers fer the Republic of Mexico.
This, tuo, was adopted without oppasition,
and the cheers were given, not only by the
members of the House, but also by the attaches and numerous lookers on. This is
but an indication of the feelings of our people on, this subject, yet it represents the
popular sentiment fairly. California cannot
be mistaken upon this point. . Secretary
Seward, in his late conference with the
Frenel Minister, fully-presents the-opinion
of this people as well as the epinion of those
on the eastern side efthe continent.

Snort BY A Woman.—The—Oregonian
of February 3d says: -We-are informed by
parties from Olympia, that S. Bridges, .
islature, from Walla Walla county, but now
a resident of Seattle, W. T., was shot last
ofn-hotet keeper there.
Bridges was paying attention-to MissLottie, daughtet of Mrs. Sires, and_Ais visits
were not as agreeable to the madame as to
the daughter. on

his ankle while performing a calisthenic
feat-in-one-of the Pacific street dance cellars, and that Tom performed the part of #
Good Samaritan, by taking him to Mrs. ;
Callahan’s Saleon und putting bim to bed,
after giving him something to drink. As
soon as he fell asleep, Tom rewarded himself by taking all the money and valuables.
that the stranger had upon ,his person.
As soon as he awoke-he-informed some of
the police fercé.of the circumstances, and
pointed out the man who robbed him. Tom
says, “If that is the way he is to be treated,
he willbe eussed if ever he does a geod action agains’
BAD MANAGEMEN'T.—We hope that while.
the committee appointed by the Legislature
are engagéd in. their investigations of the
Stockton Insane Asylum, they will find out
the cause of the numerous escapes which
oceur. In December last, William Wicks
was sent down from this county raving mad,\
and several days ugo he returned, his condition not at all improved. .This same individual was sent to Stockton once from
Placer county and was allowed to walk off
in the same way. His insanity is of sucha
character as to make him dangerous and he
should be kept in close confinement, besides,
}each trip to Stockton costs the county
above one hundred dollars besides the cost
of examination. Somebody in charge of
the Asylum is culpable, and we hope.-the investigating committee will find the party.STeapy Hawirs.—Emerson, in his book
evidences of decay, then General Evansand . English character, speaks of an old town
other croukers are entitled te belief. The
agricultural statistics of thie State. will show
a gradual improvement ia the cultivation of
-the soil, unless, in oxceptional cases where
crops are destroyed by flood or dreught.—
. The number of acres under cultivation is
increased, and within the past few yeara
there has been a marked improvement on
the system of cultivation in vogue in early
days. The advancement may not be fast
enough to satisfy the impatient, but the im
provement though slow is sure. This state
of things may be improved, but not by any
aystem of finance, or by the growling or the
threats of such croakers as we have alluded
to above. We want first-of all'to get clear
of theee complainers—Thenwe want nore
men of industry and enterprise, who are
not earried off by every rumor of rich mines
at a distance, We want men who are contented to make this State their home, and all
suoh will be richly rewarded in the mines
er onthe farm. This class of citizens are
increasing, and this ia the secret of our im.
provement during the past two years. The
sooner the restless. wanderers who are carried off by every reputed discovery of-rich
mines ate out of the country the better.
Thousands of dollars are now being invested
ia the mines of this State, and capitalists
gre ‘ever ready to build mills. and -werk
_minea where labor uncovers a good ledge
THERE are at least a million of freedmen
who ought-to be taught to read—who are
eagerly ‘appealing to be instructed—and
Whom the sociétivs can reach if they have
the funds to support the teachers. . There
are not mvre than a thousand teachers .of
freedmen in tre South towday. «
in England’ where a piece of bread anda
draught of beer are given to every one who
should ask it at the gate. About twenty
call daily on an average. This is paid for
from a fund bequeathed for that purpose in
1136, more than seven hundred years ago.
Considering the comparative ages of the
nations, we can nearly match that in this
eeantry. About 1775,-the Hon. Theodore
Atkinson, of Portsmouth, N. H., left a legacy of £1,000, the income of which was di‘yected to be distributed in loaves of bread
to the poor of that town every Sunday.—
This has been done regularly for nearly a
century; ubout £5,000 have been thus spent,
and the fund has not been impaired.
THE TELEGuAPH.—The Oregonian “of
the 25th ultimo says:. The late storms have
greatly damaged the telegraph There is
noeleetrie communication with Vaneouver
or Oregon City from this place. The cable
acrogs the river at this city is broken, and
the wire that was stretched across the
Willamette, four miles above here, has,
parted and fallen into thestream. It cannot be repaired at that place until the
present high water shall have partially sub‘sided. ~The line is intact from Oregon City
as far south as Scott’s mountain. Between
Vancouver and Monticello the line is uhderstood to be broken in-many: plages.
THe PaymasterGeneral, in reply to a
question of the Chairman. of the Military
Committee of the House, says that to pay
all the soldiers, or their representatives a

each, would requits the sum of $560,000.
