Sergeant Bates and his Flag. Some year or so ago, when the Demrocracy desired to prove the South re=} constructed, ene Sergeant Bates was sent through the South over the route taken by Sherman. He went alene, carrying an American flag, and when he came back was received with joy by Democrats whe hailed his exploit as an evidence that a)] was quiet with the Ku-Klux. The flight of Vallandigham througk the South oa hie way to Canada, might with as good reason have been takes as an evidence that all Northern men would be safe in the South as Bates’ trip. Of course he was safe in the hands of the Ku Klux, because he came asa friend, and they have never been suspicioned of vio~ lence against such. The people laughed at Sergeant Bates, and even his Democratic friends had little to say of his exploit. Since of the Ku Klux law, however, Baies has come io light again as the friend of the Ku K!ux, After his march de represented that he avas every where received with open arms by the people. ‘Now he tells a different story. He writes to the Raleigh Sentinel,in which he states that his life was in jeopardy all the time. His story is that a negro of the Loyal League was sent to agsas~ Sinate him unless he would consent to go North, and report it impossible to get through the Seuth with the flag. But Bates, according to his story, “went for the Loyal Leaguer” and converted him to his cause, and the darkey staid with him,took him into the Loyal League lodges, where he heard himself denounced by negroes and white men. He now says he was frequently threat ened and frequently offered money, and at one time Governor Holden offered him $10,000 if he would abandon his wip and say he could not go through with his flag. ‘he Hauminer and other Democratic journals, give credence to these preposterous statements of Sar. geant Bates. For over a year he has been silent in regard to these matters, ~ and then when the Ku Klux needed his services again, he abandons the story counected with his flag and falls back upon a friendly “nigger” who went back on the League ot which he Was a member for the sake of Sergeant Bates. This story, unsubstantiated by evidence, the Haaminer accepts as true, while it denies the Ku Klax outrages in the face of overwhelming evidence, backed by the declarations of the press of its own party in the South. Zhe San Francisco Marbor. Some of the San Francisco people are becoming alarmed at the proposed sale by the Tide Land Commissioners ot half the area of Richardson’s bay. It is held that by filling in this area, the volume of water passing through the Golden Gate, by action of the tides will be diminisbed, and by the accumulas tion of sand the depth will be decreased, and that changes detrimental to navigation will result to the bay jtself— Ib speaking on this subject, Professor Davidson says: “I have contendéd that if the volame of tide water of the bay ot San Francisco is decreased, and if obs structions be made to prevent the regular and normal moyément of the tidal waters, that the depth of water upon the bar of San’Francisco bay will be decreased, beside the changes that will If hould be taken to prevent the sale of ae this property. Every part of the State is interested in maintaining the harbor of San Francisco, and the amount coming into the treasury from this sale would be no compensation for the dam. age that woald result from the injury to the harbor. nical THEY havea peculiar breach of promise’ cake in the St. Louis courts. Louisa Bulls has sued a father and son {for $10,000 damages, her grounds of action against.the son being that he refused to marry her according to promise, and against the father that he had objected to the propoged match, . says: We see it stated sometimes in { to all who have at beart the interests the papérs, @¥en ‘Of “late ) days, tha’ amiiting is decreasing. A few \daye since a prominent daily paper, in-an-— nouncing that a Smartsville, Yoba county, company had cleaned up a large amount of gold, prefaced the an‘nounced with the remark; in sabstatice, that “though in other localities mining is dying out, Smartsville is still yield~ ing largely of gold.” We have been protesting for more~than four years against all such ideas, and against the expression of similar items of news. They -aré— published--by those who know nothing about mining, or about the progress and steady development of that great industry. The truth is that mining isin its infaney in California, and it is in a healthy state of infancy. The developments of the last two years have been most wonderful, and are cheering of the State. Look at the facts, which are many, just around us. Aubura, almost unknown asa quartz mining district. It was heard of only occa. sionally, when some “croppings digger” would bag a few thousand dollars worth of gold in am hourorso, The semi-occasional strikes made outsiders believe that the Auburn district was characterized by spotted ledges, and that he who worked a ledge to make But on-one ledge a'practical miner put down a shaft below water, and the ledge held out good. There was guild in the rock, and regular pay was had, The St, Patrick is now down some 200° feet, and it has proved to be one ot the best mines-in-theState of California. The Green mine, in the same vicinity. is wonderfully rich, and is rapidly making men of fortune out et-the poor prospectors of a few years age. Capis tal, faith and é6nergy have’ beén attracted to Auburn, and steam driven wheels are whizzing in the distriet and are inaking lively times and gold for the people. In Grass Valley, already and for years famous, the prospecting interests are well attended, and from beyond the Atlantic Ocean is coming capital to invest in quartz mining properties, The vast gravel ranges are opened on wu seale hitherto unthought of, and the old river beds are yielding up their treasures to the skill and the energy which has opened them. Mining decreasing! The business is just commencing, and it will not quit until the finality of the world. Let us hear, from Califoraia papers mining is not flourishiag. From all the mining regions the most cheering news has come, is coming and will come, County Court, May 18. J. Wilkes Hall was sentenced to pay a fine of $75, which he paid inte Court and was discharged. The People vs. Lanigan, indicted for robbery. By consent, defendant was allowed to withdraw the plea of not guilty and enter the plea of guiity,— Next Monday morning, the same time set for sentencing Mullen, was fixed for passing judgment upen defendant The People vs Mary Keenan, indicted for aurder, Submitted to the jury under instructious of the Court to acquit for variance in prwof. 2 @ o-— Bear Valley. Satire Elijah Tompkins, whe recently came down from Bear Valley, informs us that the grass is further advanced thi& sea‘son than it was last year in the middle of June. While the bay crop will be shortin the lower country, the harvest in the mountain valleys will be larger than for many years. In two or three weeks the grazing on the. hills around Bear Valley will be excellent. Wor County Recorder. \ J. M. Walling, of Rough & Ready township, will ve a candidate for the nomination fer County Recorder, before the Republican County Convention. Mr. Walling served with Grant in the Mississippi campaign, and to the end ofthe war. Walling entered the ser~ vice as a private aff attained the rank of First Lieutenant. He is well known a mime on it ran the greatest of risks. . especially, no more complaints that [ on the witness stand, proved clearly to hi oWn Watisfactioh that Mrs. Fair h been subject to periodical fits of men al abbefation, during which she was not ‘responsible for acts. The doctor com‘menced suit on Monday,says the Stockton Independent, for $2,100, for profes— sional services, and sent an officer to the bank to-attach the money. Mrs. Fair having got wind-of—his move~ ments a few minutes in advance, was seized with another fit of mental abberation. She drew a check in favor.of her mother for $5,000, which .wag at once presented and paid. When the officer called at the bank he learned that there was no money there to attach. The Doctor suffers financially, but gains in professional reputation, for the incident proves most clearly Fair is insane at times, is unconscieus of what she does, and is irresponsible for her_acts. RoaD StEAMERS.—Recently one of in Placer county, two years. ago was . Thompson Ss patent road steamers ar rived in Stockton. After making a trial trip through the streets, it was taken out of town to test its utility for plowing. ‘The Independent says: “It steamed out to the race track, where it hauled a gang of seven 11} inch plows, manufactured by Mr. Buaxier of this city, to the order of the owners of the machine. The gang cut a breadth of six feet nine inches, and the plowing was done in the best style.A practical farmer who witnessed the op~ eration of the steamer, remarked th t the draught'in plowing was equal to the strength of at least sixteen heavy mules. We understand that it is the intention of Mr. Barnaby, who has the steamer in charge, to repeat these practical exhibitions of the working capaci. . ty of this novel road locomotive. THREE years ago. David. Crayton, of Evansville, Ind., was driven to the river by a mob of negroes and supposed to have been drowned, whereupon four of the gang were arrested and one sens tenced to the State Prison for 23 years and others for shorter terms, which they have already served out. Lately Crayton has turned up alive and well, and it is thought to be about time for penitentiary. uction Sale. W. H. Davidson wil) hold an auction sale on Saturday afternoon at 2 o’clock. He has a large assortment of goods, consisting in part of household furpiture, millinery goods, flowers, boots, ‘shoes, etc,, as will be seen by advers tisement. } All parties having goods which they desire sold, are requested to send them in to-day. Chicken Stealing. The chicken house ef A. Goldsmith } Was entered recently and robbed of ten chickens. These “hen house” thieves are a great nuisance and it isa pity some of them are not caught.
