Inall Gases laborers have the undoubted right to refuse to work for wages they think too low. To protect themselves ‘they ‘have a right to combine, . batin saying that all workmen shall receive the same amount of money, re~ gardless of the services rendered, they are pursuing a suicidal policy and good ‘workmen are deprived of a Jarger comthan that received by the , or utiskilled laborer. The miner who thoroughly understands mining is to some extent a skilled laborer, and it ig unjust to ifm to say tliat he shall bé compensdted the same as the man who pushes cars or is employed in shoveling. Every Jaborer has the right to compensation for the work he performs, and ~~ amy set of men Who endeavor by organization ‘to control the wages of work~ is guilty of the violatiqn of the ts of working men. The effect of such a course is to declare that all labcr is equal and that the man who by patient industry and study has qualified himeelf for intelligent and effective labor is no better than he who is unskilled in his business. No such combination can be made without being based upon the theory that every laborer is equal, and here is where the injustice is done to good workmen. The laborer ought to be paid in proportion to the skill and industry which he manifests in his business, and this is usually the case, Of this himself and-his employer are the.sole judges, and any man who interferes for the purpose of controlling the matter is more an enemy of the employed than the employer. The fight of the workman to make his own bargain and to receive such wages as he is willing to take for his labor, is ag sacred as any other right claimed by American citizens, and neither societies or combinations have . ~ . corn."

One of these is that the “Will not use these things, but will allow ‘the project of the League, andwhen a up their stamps, and pumping engines soon fill the now empty mines, antl that mors as to the intention of the secret orLeague will not permit the use of giant powder, or the system of single hand drilling in the mines ; and the other rumor is that the members of the League others to do so. . As the meetings of the League are conducted in secret we can. not tell which report is correct, but one thing is sure that the giant and the single hand system are the objects of at-. tack by the League. There are no other causes of complaint on the part of the miners. , Yesterday a committee of the League went around to get money from merchants and others ia order to further subscription was refused, the remark was made, ina significant tone, “we know how you stand.” A. committee also called upon Capt. Lee, Superintend> ent of the Empire mine, and requested him to discontinue the use of giant powe: der under ground at the: Empire mine. Cap. Lee informed the committée that he was not working the giant, or any other powder under ground at the Empire. We suppose they saw the point of the remark, At the mines matters remain as before the war began. The North Star and the Empire have hung only are run. Private advice from the headquarters of mine owners—San Francisco—intimate that laborers will work will goon asusual. Ofcourse the owners are not giving over their valuable property to rust and idleness. Tne Prorit.—We are informed that a gentleman who has given considerable attention to the cultivation of the mulberry and production of silk, kept a cash account last year of the expense and yield from the worms fed upon three trees, which were three years old. The yield in eggs from the flies fed upon three trees was $303, and the enThose who attempt to do so under“ any pretext are the worst enemies of the . < ie Tees Wt caged ee — ~ laborer.

Th nearly every case the defendants have a number of: witnesses who are without meang, or pretend: to be, and the bounty is compelled to pay their expenses to and. from Truckee, and in many ingtances the expgnse is greatly” increased ‘by the necessity of sendidg a writ to insure their presence, We sincorely hope that Truckeo may be set off in a new county, as-we are satisfied such a movement would benefit the county by cutting off a heavy bill of expense, and at the same time be of great benefit the people of ‘that locality. Tae BLIND PREACHER.—The Ree. 'W. H. Milburn, as we see by the papers, “has recently returned to Paris from Bor. lin where he has been for a number of itionthetindertreatment in’ the kiinik -of the celebrated Professor Von Grate. He has been successfully operated upon for artificial pupil; but a second operation, which is necessary to give him vis. ioti; had go: be postponed for some months, om aceount of the inflammtion : which followed the first.

It is usually a vile mixture. Thousands of gallons are made by allowing water thereto a certain proportion of logwood: and tartaric acid, and a little alcohol. Good judges can hardly discriminate between this factitious mixture and the genuine article,” Tea SHiPMENTs.—A San Francisco telegram of last Saturday said the first tea shipment had been made by the Pacific Railroad. ‘Phis was a mistake, Cincinnati Gazette, April 28th: “Cannon are being fired to-day in honor of the arrival of the first invoice of tea steamers and Pacific Railway, voice consists of 300 chests.” The inArian forcutting a canal through the valley of the Garrone, France, to unite the Mediterranean and the Bay of Biscay, is receiving much attention and scheme is estimated at $88,400,000. The time required, six years. The-canal is to be suitable for mefehant and war ships of the largest size. THE value ofthe dairy, egg and poul. try shipmiehts from Petaluma to San Francisco in April, is‘estimated by the Petaluma: Journal at $120,000. The butter is rated as yielding to the producer 82 cents per pound, the common cheese 15 cents, the Limberger 27 cents and the eggs 35 cents per dozen.

THe Ratn.—The eastomary May storm, which usually occurs about the 20th of the month, commenged yesterday morning, after several cloudy days, during which chilling winds prevailed: The season thus far has. been most favorable for al] kinds of fruit,and should the present storm pass without frost or snow, the trees will have more than they are’ able to hold up. We have as yet had no frost that has effected the fruit. The rain will do immense good, if not followed by very cold weather. LUMBER FoR Grass VALLEY.—About sixty thousand feet of lumber has been shipped from Cooper’s saw mill at Blue Tent to Grass Valley. We understand: that Mr. Conaway is about establishing a lumber yard at that place, which will be supplied from this mill. Ricu Rock.—A clean up was made on Monday, says the National, at the North Star mine, from ten. tons of rock taken by way of experiment from a part of the mine not recently worked. The ten tons yielded $945. The rock came from the eastern part of the mine, from the first level, 500 feet down the incline. They have now 500 feet of backs, and the ledge extends some 3,000 feet east, as tested by sinking shafts. This rock was not “specimen rock,” and no one thought it would yield over $30 to ll Ciean Up.—Thirty-n rock were crushed National, from t tly, says the wery ledge, which rock isnow being hauled from the John which will’be'crushed soon. In the Divorce Court at London, on the 18th ult., there were 174 cases entered for hearing, including the case of Captain Vivian against the Marquis of Waterford, for running away with the former's wife, and in which it was ex~ pected judgment would go by default.
