MuscLeE AND Monry.—The Grass
‘Valley Union, in an article headed
“Money,” says :
Money is what will make California.
We talk of people coming here to settle-+
up our waste places, and we imagine
that they will come for talk. Show
them the cash and they will come.
Make it appear to them that there is
~~ gold in our rocky soil and they will
Plant on a piece of barren granite.
_This is certainly true, but how shall
. We thake it appear that we have gold 9
‘Certainly not in the fact that we take
outso much per year, while that other
fact, that we have not money rc 9
move the grain crop stares them in the
face. We must first stop the exporta_ tion of gold as far as possible, by’ producing those article for which gold is
sent abroad. Ifour population could be
supplied from home products gold would
soon accumulate. To do this reqiiires
labor, time and patience. It is idle to
. epeet immigrants to do it for us. They
will come rapidly after we demonstrate
‘that there is money in farming, and
that California can offer better induce, ments to settle than other places. Until that time it is idle to expect Immi-'
gration Aid Societies or State dona.
tions to help us on the road to prosperity. ;
To PURCHASERS OF STATE LAnps.
J. W. Bost, Register oi thé State Land
' Office, has issued the following notice,
which contains matter of much interest
to purchasers of State Lands, that in
January, 1870, under the requirements
of the Act providing for the sale and
management of the lands belonging to
the State, approved March 18th, 1868,
and on each succeeding January, a delinquent list will be prepared, showing
all purchasers who have not made
their: payments in accordance with law.
All purchasers who have failed to make
payment in full of the balance due for
Seminary or Public Building Lands, or
for Swamp Lands in districts having an
outstanding indebtedness, which have
been sold five years; also, all purchas.
ers of any class éf State Lands on credit
who have failed to pay the annual in.
terest, in advance, will be reported ta.
the District Attorney of their county,
whose duty it will be to commence
suits to annul their titles. Delinquents
should see that their payments are
made to the County Treasurer in the
county Treasurer in the course of the
preceding Decembét, and thereby save
costs,
Dtrine the memorable battle of
Atlanta, on the 24th of July, in which
our troops fought first from one side of
their fortifications and then on the
other, a rebel officer at the head of his
men, more daring than his followers,
succeeded in getting close up against
the Union works, when a certain stalwart Colonel of pwa Volunteers, be_ grimmed with tlié-smoke of battle,
leaped from the narrow parapet, and
éxtending his powerfal arms’ grasped
" . the gallant rebel by the collar, hoisted
him bodily into the Union. lines, and
sent him to the rear as a prisoner of
war. The rebel, who turned out to be
Col. Lampley, of the Forty-fifth Alabama, died a few weeks afterward of
chagrin at the inglorious way in which
he was captured. The captor was Col,
Belknap, of the Fifteenth Iowa, now
Secretary of War.

The Daily Geanscipt,
to .
“he
Register, 30th October says: For séveral
days past, several shrewd businegs men
have in Our town, offering for sale
English cloths, cassimeres, flannéls,cali-coes, carpetings, etc., in quantities to
suit purchasers; at such very low prices
that our merchants, as well as private
citizens, male and female, are investing
in these goods. These men represent
themselves as the agents or salesmen
of the assigness of a bankrupt dry goods‘house ti England, and that they had
about $1,500,000. worth of these English goods to dispose of in the United
States. Now we do not -pretend to
vouch for the truthfulness of these
statements; but this muck we can safely
say, that we never knew such really
‘fine cloths, etc., sold-in this or any other
country at such low figures as these
men are selling them at. The men
may be humbugs, but the goods they
offer recommend themselves, ang, are
first class goods in every respect and no
mistake. These agents make their
headquarters at the Revere House, and
are very gentlemanly and obliging in
their deportment.
Two men answering the above description and having in their possession
the same kind of godds spoken of above,
were in this city about the ‘middle of
October last: They did not attempt to
sell any of their goods at any place nearer town than the Half Mile House. At
this house they offered such extravagant
bargains that it was thought the goods
were. stolen. In the vicinity of the
Pittsburg mine they sold several lots
of cloths,a friend of ours bnying enough
for several suits of clothes. They had
a piece ofbody Brussels carpet, that
could not be bought by the piece for
less than $3 per yard, which they offered at 75 cents per yard. Broche
shawls, worth from $30. to $150, they
only asked about one-tenth their value.
They represented themselves here as
agents of a bankrupt house in England,
They got several orders here for carpets, silks, etc., and stated they would
be around again in about a week, but
they have'as yet failed to connect.

Mouawk Valiey, Plumas county,
bids fair to become a point of considerable importance, says the Butte Record.
It has some famous sulphur springs,
both hot and cold, and extensive beds
Of iron ore. An Iron Company of San
Francisco is preparing to erect a saw
mill, preparatory to the erection of extensive iron works, Ore is to be takenfrom the iron mourtain, near Gold
Lake, and brought a distance of six or
eight miles, on a railway, to the works.
The ore is said to be of a very superior
quality. The company expect the continuance of the railroad from Oroville
through Mohawk Valley, within the
next year and a half, making a shipment of the heavy metal a very easy
matter. We hope they may not be
disappointed in regard to the railroad.
It would make Plumas one of the busiest
and -wealthiest. counties in the State.
Pea Nvts.—A considerable trade in
this product is springing up in Oroville,
says the Butte Record. During the
past month of October, about four tons
Were shipped from this depot for the
San Francisco market. They were
grown by Chinamen on the Burt ranch,
half a mile below town. They have
seven or eight tons more on hand, which
are now being delivered for shipment.
For a portion of what they have already
shipped, they realized twelve cents per
pound, but the price has naw fallen to
eight cents. There is scarcely any
valuable product but what may be
grown in our foot-hills and mountain
valleys.
THE Reno Crescent says the assess##d

erty, is $409,460 less than in 1967, and
two-thirds of the property are north of
Huffaker’s;‘or nearer to Reno than to
Washoe City. In view of these facts,
it hints at the propriety of removing
the county seat to Reno.

Saturday last, says the Butte Record,
about thirty-five hundred pounds of
copper, which had been sent down from
the Genesee Valley, Plumas county, for
shipment to San Francisco, It is beginning to arrive with some regularity by
Seams, and promises to become a considerable article of export. If Plumas
county had a railroad, her copper and
iron mines would soon become of great
value.
