o « FRIDAY, NOV. 12, 1869. — 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 PuBLic DeBt.—The statement of Secretary Boutwell, concerning the public debt of the United States, up to Novy. ist, is as follows : Debt bearing coin interest... » $2,107,936,900 Accrued interest ‘on same 52,024,844 Debt bearing cyrrency interest. . 61,640,000 Accrued-interest on same... ° 1,211,900 Debt on which int’st has ceased, 4,389,937 Accrued interest on same... ° 70,993 Debt bearing nointerest,...__ 421,880 221 Total debt, including interest. .§2,649,004.045 Cash in Treasury.:.. ae 183,523,556 Debt, less amount in Treasury.. $2,461.131.100 During the month of October the debt was decreased by $7,363,883, and ‘since March Ist, 1869, $64,332,071. Drep.—Isaac Hopper, who was in jured by his team running away at Mossdale, San Joaquin county, lately, died in Stockton,4 5 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 valuation of taxable property in Washoe county, exclusive of the rail road prop. 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. THe Jesuits in San Francisco are erecting a structure for a new college, in the rear of their old building on Market street.

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.
