Recent,developments leave no room to doubt that Mrs. Fair will secure a AE RAR RR PORTIS CARTE — of trace“thosé knot‘ quartz belt is regarded as continuous, posa to Syskiyou. Though thousands of stamps dre employed night and day , : t extrac new trial on the ground of bias of a ju. the year round, the-amount e é tor and declarations in regard to her guilt, which would if! made known at the time the jury:was impanneléd, have . disqualified him to serve in the case. Henry M. Beach, one of the jurors, re« sided at Truckee, in this county, where where he was olerk in the store of Fred. Burkhalter. He was at Truckee at the time of the assassination of Crittenden, and expressed himself vary freely in régard to the case. Mrs. Mary E. Burkhalter, wife of F. Burkhalter, fnakes an affidavit in which shé says she remelffbers the circumstances and the facts detailed in the papers of the shooting of Mr, Crittenden by the defendant, Mrs. Fair; that at that time he, the said Beach, was in the employ of affiant’s husband; that, shortly after the ‘shooting, in her husband’s store, at the said town of Truckee, this affiant heard the said Beach make use of the following expression’ relative to the affair; ‘That, if he should be on the jury, he should consider it murder in thé first degree, and he would: hang the woman. (referring to Mrs. Fair;) that he considered it a willful murder.’ That at the time he, the said Beach, made use of the above expréssion, he had a newspaper in his hands, and apparently just been reading an account of the shooting. ‘That the subject matter and facts of the . shooting, and the. circumstances connected therewith, were fully and freely discussed in affidnt’s husband’s store Affiant further says that she does not commensurate with the great field to be of quartz mines opened to. some extent, but unproductive, that with poor apparatus and incompetent management, have yielded enough, or nearly enough to pay expenses. The owners becoming involved have been obliged to yield the property to creditors, or beng unable to haust their mines when there was no benefit likely to accrue to themsélves, and are waitlng for lower wages and more perfected modes of saving gold.— the other are mills and machinery going to rack and ruin, ‘not, in many cases; on account of . worthlessness of the ledges ‘in which they are located, but because’ the ledges are not properly opened, or areonly rich enough to pay laborers ind not capital. It will not always be so. The day is not far distant when cheaper living and & reduction in wages . will give an impetus to quartz mining, auch as has never been witnessed. If thé cost of working were the same as when, the first mill was erected, fewer still would be the paying mines of, the country. Decrease the cost, ant? the number’ of paying mines will be in‘creased in an accelerated ratio. Where ten mines will pay $20 a day to the 34, and ten thousand $2. This, ani approximation to the truth, showswhat-s field for labor in the rock mining of the met her in her life, and never seen her to her knowledge, and all she knows of the circumstances is what she has read. ‘That on reading the procecdings of the “trial she expressed to some friends of hers, at whose house she was then ‘on a visit, her_surprise that Mr. Beach was on the jury,;.and then ‘and there informed them whit-she had heard him! the said. Beach, way ‘ns_ herein stated, while in her husband's employ, Aftiant further says that she is informedand believes that he the said Beach made similar expressions in the presence of other persons at about the same time, in the town of Truckee, These facts, testified to by the: lady above mentioned, ‘are subgtantiated by affidavits from Mrs. Welch, Dr. Lesvignes, J. H. Steinert, and Chas. W. Young. These witnesses are all of.excellent, character, and’ Charley’ Young is an old resident of this city, well known and highly respected here. Indeed the character of the testimony . leaves no room for doubt on this point, and will secure beyond question a new trial in the cause. The Supreme Court has herétofore set aside verdicts when not half go strong a case has been made out ad inthis, rere An Eneuish TRAVELER aT Prratema, On Wednesday evening last, says the Petaluma Journal and Argus, of May 20th, Petaluma ‘contained a regular, genuine Lord, of right mind and in the flesh. ~ His name was Walsingham, and his natiyity Old England. His Wordship was accompanied by a retinue of servants, horses, camp wagons ‘and everything necessary for a high ‘borzi tourist to go through . a new country, in the quest of pleasure and information. The most remarkable feature about the Lord was that he appeared to appreciate that he was in‘America, and seemed as democratic as you please. He had just made a tour of the Eastern States and ' when he passed by this place was on his way to the Geysers, and from thence will proceéd northward and take in Or: egon in his trip. Young, comely intelligent, clever and al, he Produces a good impression upo every one with whom he is thrown in contact and bears the mark of a true gentleman, We. trust that his . passage through our mountains will be made in safety, and that he may be spared to return'to Mrs. Walsingham, and tell her and the little ten millions, for sale, Society: here is country is to be openéd in our day. To resume work upon ledges already probed to the extent of the opportunity: offered isto double the population of the quartz districts. To thoroughly explore the labor field in quartz alone is the work of a century, In all the labor fields however, is known of its extent to indicate that.it will furnish labor for thou. sunds of men, for generations to come, TruckEE.—A correspondent writing from Truckee to the Union, gives the following encouraging picture of prospects in-that locality: “Truckee is the most business like place I have seen in this section, and the trade can be quadrupled by a little exertion on the part of the business men. The~entire trade of eastern Sierra and Plumas~can be centered here. Goods are now hatled to Quincy from here at less expense than they can be carried via Oroville. The facilities for traveling through this section have greatly ‘increased within the past year. Now persons can leave San Francisco and arrive, via this place, at Eureka Mills inside of twenty-four hours. Tri-weekly stages run-hence to Loyalton, Sierraville and Randolph, Another line runs tri-weekly to Eureka Mills and Jameson City. Another stage leaves daily for the Hot Sulpher Springs, Lake Tahoe, connecting there with the steamer Truckee for Glenbrook,and there connecting with the stages for Cargon.-— Truckee is the railroad division, where the railroad men are_ changed. The employees, who compose, in point of Pnumbers, & small army, teside here ahd. create a large trade. There are eleven mills, with an aggregate daily capacity of four hundred thousand feet, beside shingle, lath and planing mills, all of which employ a large number of operators. Swain & Co. have established reduction works for silver ore, and have been doing a good business. The com. pany is nowenlarging the establishment and in @ week or so will be prepared for work.

Grass Vauiey Irems.—We get the following from the Grass Valley Union of yesterday: The Methodist Episcopal Church in this town, having become too limited in accommodations or the congregational wants, arrangements are now about being made for:the ereotion of a new and larger edifice. The present church building was dedicated in January, 1855. It has since then heen enlarged, and is now found to be too limited in its _ @ecommodations, The original building was erected at a cost of $4,000, of which amaunt $1,500 remained unprovided for, but gn the day of dedication, the congregation gen. erally contributed. $1,300 of that deficiency The attendance at the church having probably. quadrupled in number an edifice, to tneet the wants, and at the same time add &graceful ornament to the town, might, we think, easily be built ‘and left at the start, as everychurch edifice onght to be, entirely free from in. cumbrance.

Morse formerly County Superintendent of Schools in this county, dated at Hartford, Conn., May 17th says, among other things: “I arrived home safe, but not very sound, Gn Monday, the 15th. ‘ I held my own after leaving Grass Valley until within five days’ sail of New York, when I had an acute attack of pleurisy, from which Thave not yet recovered.
