A flew invention, of-eonsiderable importance to hydraulic miners'has "recently been madeby—a gentleman in San Frangiseo, and which may do away with the Craig patent.* It _ is called “Keppikts’ Gain ‘Twist Nozzle,’’ and the -working principle is exactly opposite from that of the Craig patent. In the \Oraig nozzle, the patent consists.in strips of iron fastened in the nozzle, to keep the a compact. body a longer distance. The same end is arriyed-at. with the Koppikus Gain Twist, but the discharge pipe ‘has’ spiral grooves cut in it, similar to a rifle, which throws the water when it leaves the nozzle into a’ circular body. By this motion, it is-elaimed the particles of water are kept together; a much longer distance than by the smooth bore, that there i is less friction, and that the force is mach stronger than by any other nozzle now in use, ExFrancisco,;which prove he Koppikus to be all that the inventor tlaims for it, We copy the following extract + from a private letter, from San Francisco to a gentleman i in this city, givingthe result of experiments made by the inventor of the ‘Koppikus in that city: “I will say, the inventor was an entire stranger to me, when he presented his nozzle for me to try: The results of the. trials are as follows: 180 pounds of steam, through an Amaskeage %-nozzle, the best_we have heré, against the wind,a stream 180-feet:was thrown, Withthe same _{ pressure, the Koppikus nozzle,against showing tts superiority over the oth. the wind, threw a stream 210 feet. The néxt trial, same as the first,only with the wind, the Koppikus hozzle threw 20 feet further than the Amos-keage, showing that the Koppikus . nozile has greater’ power in forcing water against: the wind, as well as er for throwing purposes. Its peculiarity seems to be. its boring qualiities, and water passes through the nozzle with less friction than others, . while the water is thrown more in a body, The inventor does not claim that it is yet perfect, but with the alterations he suggested, I have no hesitancy in saying that it has more merit than any other nozzle known . ‘tome, Icannot see why any size nozzlé,constructed on the same plan, should be proportionately more effective. It is certainly. worth a trial.’’ The Koppikus nozzle was afterwards tried in Sacramento, and Frank H. Fisher, who happened to be present, seeing its superior advantages, immediately made an arrange_ment with the inventor,whereby Mr. Fisher has sole tight to make. nozwles for hydraulic purposes, while ‘the inventor reserves the right to make nozzles for fire purposes. We understand ‘that steps have been Fe taken to secure @patent;-and the manufacture of the nozzles will de =_ee atan — day.

Owen Sapcanenmen, 20 son of —— County Bair opened a Ro and General, is at e ist instant, with indicationg Placer Don’t Want Truckee. We-copy from the Anburn , Herald of the 18th instant, the subjoined article, The artiele itwill be observed tarns a cold shoulder toward. Truckee, We havea letter fons Ww. A. King,of-Truckee, advising us that ‘p tneeting was heldin that place to ". take action in reference to annexing the eastern portion of Placer and Nevada counties to Placer or Nevada county, or the erection of a new county out of that territory. The subject has been canvasseil much in the lower portion of this’ county, but we feel certain that jt is the unanimous wish of the pedple not. to a any‘more territory to Placer on the other side of the. Sierra Nevada mountains. We think it wouldebe a a bad movement to attach that section of country to Placer. The population of Placer and Nevada . ‘counties, east of the summit is* transient, and the criminal] business that must inure from such 2 population would propably cost Placer double or treble as much'as the whole taxes derivédfromi that people. THIS Gs fhe” financial view ‘ofthe question, and an important one at this time when we are trying te adopt eeonemy and low taxesy As a community the people of Truckee and the surround-ing country have iaterests that. are periments have been made “in San . ’ ifferent from the ether-portion of lacer, and it would be an expensive and not ‘an agreeable alliance. In former years there has been a strong effort made by Truckee to make a new county to be called Donner, out of portions of Placer, Nevada, Sierra and El Dorado counties, and the only thing that kept us from fevoring that movement then was our financial embarrassment in eonséequence of having voted a large debt. in aid of the Central, Pacitie Railroad,. a large portion of which is embraced in the proposed new county. We thén proposed to consent to the formation of Donner if the people of the new county would -get the railroad to release us from a pro rata of the bonds in proportion to ‘the amount.of the road in the new _county. Now we are relieved of that debt with the exception of some$16,her gounty. So far as .we’ are. concerned, and we believe it isthe sentiment of the gréat body of the people of Placer county, we had rather surrender the portion of Placer lying east of the mountains than to accept any more territory so. remote from the county seat would largely overbalance the receipt from taxation, and would cost Placer county five times as,mach us it would cost the people of Donner provided it was established. “We are sure that to add them to Placer would not relieve their wants, ind would be an expensive operation to our county. They have. now to go te Nevada City to attend courts as jurymen, witnesses ahd Jitigants,. and it is but. twelve miles from Colfax on the railroad, while they, if attached to,Plater,would have to come'eight. miles further to get to Auburn. We don’t think’ there would be much, if any objection to Sparing that portion of Placer county lying east-of the Sierra Nevadas to aid in the formation of anew county, by. the legislative. delegation. from Placer, provided that dur ’ people there would ask to be set off. into a new county if the people of ‘that section feel their @bility to support a county government, and think their populatiqn and permanent resources . will, justify them in=establishiag a new county, we think they will not and ought not to meet with opposi+ tion from the people of Placer, or our ap tomes delegation, : Mrs, Bex Hauutrnay left a will disposing of an immense property, including .12,000 acrés of land near White Plains, New York, , twenty buffaloes, several antelopes, wolves, elks, deer, etc., and now notice is given that there “is another will, Mrs, Halliday’s will is recorded at White Plains, and ‘there will be a contest,Dvkme the month of September, 31 vessels were chartered to load with wheat from San Francisco port to the United Kingdom} nine were engaged to load lumber for various ports, and six to load general merehandise for ports on the Pacific coast. ‘ees ee 4s Se Jand, but wherever a furrow can be 000, and this removes much of our. the foothills in the-past-has been unobjections to the formation of Don"Farming in our Foothills. Under the ‘designation known as cluded all the land lying along the ‘westerm base of the Sierra Nevada’ mountains, commenting a shért distance east of the level lands of Sacramegtoand San Joaquin valleys, and rising these to an elevation of some three thousand feet, until the steeper and heavily .timbered regions of the Siexyras are YTeached.The foothill section of the State. it -will™be~seen by a glance at the map,extends nearly two-thirds the length of the State; . and forms portions of the counties of Shasta, Tehama, Butte, Sierra, Yuba, Nevada, Placer, Sacramento, Amador, Calaveras, San Joaquin, Stanislaus, Tuolumne, Merced, Mariposa, Fresno and Kern, .I» others of the counties nearer the coast are lands very similar in quality, but the above ure these usually referred to by that title. -Apart from¢heir agrioultutal ‘resources and ‘development, they. are known to possess the richest known placer or gold-bearing gravel mines, and permanent and most productive quartz leads, yielding gold_and eopper. The-foothill fégionshave been and will continue to attract deserved attention, not only for their agricultural advantages, but forthe superior inducements they. offer for the permanent. establishment, on. cheap terms, of beautiful, comfortable and profitable homes, The soil of most of the) foothills ‘is generally: good. The mountains beyond protect them in a medsuré fromthe high winds and frosts. It is thought, and said by. many, that itis much harder to cultivate a hill farm than one on flat 7 turned upon the western foothills of the Sierra Nevadas, a e¢rop may be set down as certain; for the moisture ata moderate altitude is more than double that of thé Walleys, Besides, the climateis delightful. An exchange makes the following declarations, which aptly apply,to this county. “That the soil of the foothills is equally productive, and yields as much @8 on an. average -per-.acre as the valley lands, has beensatisfactorily, proved. Failure of .crops.in known. Long after the rain has ceased in the valleys,fertilizing showers in the mountains continue, inl when vegetation has become parched and withered in the valleys, our mountain crops ure. still green and in vigorous growth. Our mountain lands under . intelligent cultivation will produce all the cereals that are known ‘to California; ¢qual’ to the acre in amount as first class valley lands, This is.not-idle-assertion,but an established fact.Again;for profitable cultivation of the grape, ‘no part of the world can surpass the foothills; almost every variety of grapé can be produced without artificial irrigation, in such profusion per acre as would astonish the ¥ine culfivator of the old world, and-when experience and science shall be brought to bear in the cultivation of the vine, and the manufacture of wines, the foothills will be the fountain from: whence. will flow the finestand most valuable wines known to commerce, Fruits of every variety are produced in abundance, and with but little cost or labor; while garden vegetables .

To this eid requisitions for stamps are periodidally made by the officers. .of the gedicial, revenue and. other deape ents, = a strict account of ps ‘used* “ond the number on beh must be made monthly or quarterly. This entails upofi all tbe departments a labor for which there should be no necessity. Nor “is this the worst feature of the new, law,. The most of the public documents, in the preparation of which the Government expends. hundreds of thousands of dollars annually,. will ple, for the reason that Congress. 1 men do, not feel disposed to. pay the. postage on them. « If’ these’ “doduments are worth printing, they are, certainly worth distributing; and it is: demanding considerable of.a member of Congress to ask him to pay the postage’on two or three thousand volunres of documents ‘yearly sent to his constituents, The Washington Republican of a late-date says: ‘*Only about 50,000 volumes of public documents belonging to Senators remain at the Capitol, On the House side it is very different, Immense menibers are stowed away, and some disposition will have to be made of them. More than one-half the members of the House were ‘not re-electincur the.expense of -postage in forwarding documents to their late constituents. A re-elected member,who was here yesterday sending off deced one hundred dollars in postage, which was rather a bitter pili:”~~ It is plain thatthe public documents, issued at great expense by the GovySome of them are apparently, dry, but all contain information. interesting to persons engaged in the different industries of the land. , The Agricultural Reports are valuable to farmers, the Patent. Office Reports to inventors, the Commercial Reports to merchants, the State Department Reports to politicians, and the Congressional Reports to all. It is proper in»a Government such . as ours that. the people should be kept apprised of the detailed workings of the several departments, and the’ départment reports through members of Congress, who are presumed to know the names and addresses of their prominent consfituents. —_But“this distribution will . never be made under the present law, as indicated by the paragraph quoted” froma the Republican: Valuable documents, costing millions to print, will be alowed to acermulate in Washington by the hundreds of thausands of voliimes, because. Congressmen will not prepay them to their constituents.” We aré sure that the ene revenues of the Post Office partment will not begin to comte ote tor the trouble which the aw imposes and the non-distribution of public documents,. It will be found at the _close of the year, that. the increase in postal receipts in pee sequence of the abolition of. franking privilege will not equal me amounts in the aggregate appropriated to the several departments for the payment of postage. Then, where is the economy? It*is better to submit to some abuse of the privilege than that the whole people should suffer through the abolitton of it, All the mails are carried by contract, and we have yet to see that a single contract has been taken the cheaper because of the exclusion from the mails of free matter.

It is thought, and said by. many, that itis much harder to cultivate a hill farm than one on flat 7 turned upon the western foothills of the Sierra Nevadas, a e¢rop may be set down as certain; for the moisture ata moderate altitude is more than double that of thé Walleys, Besides, the climateis delightful. An exchange makes the following declarations, which aptly apply,to this county. “That the soil of the foothills is equally productive, and yields as much @8 on an. average -per-.acre as the valley lands, has beensatisfactorily, proved. Failure of .crops.in known. Long after the rain has ceased in the valleys,fertilizing showers in the mountains continue, inl when vegetation has become parched and withered in the valleys, our mountain crops ure. still green and in vigorous growth. Our mountain lands under . intelligent cultivation will produce all the cereals that are known ‘to California; ¢qual’ to the acre in amount as first class valley lands, This is.not-idle-assertion,but an established fact.Again;for profitable cultivation of the grape, ‘no part of the world can surpass the foothills; almost every variety of grapé can be produced without artificial irrigation, in such profusion per acre as would astonish the ¥ine culfivator of the old world, and-when experience and science shall be brought to bear in the cultivation of the vine, and the manufacture of wines, the foothills will be the fountain from: whence. will flow the finestand most valuable wines known to commerce, Fruits of every variety are produced in abundance, and with but little cost or labor; while garden vegetables . O° can be gathered fresh from the. ground nearly every month b the year. ” A Man named James J. Ritchie started a giff*tnterprise in Denver, for the benefit of the ‘Home for Invalids.”’ Having accumulated as much dust as he could carry away,he disappeared in -the most. invalid . Manner, and: started East to’ estab. lish a hqme for ‘himself, Moral— the Denver: people should confine their investments te keno and ehuck.aluck, Crxcinnatr has tried keeping her two years, and pronounces ‘it a great suecess. Philadelphia is equally satisfied with the results of her ventures in the same direction. And now how long will it be before smaller cities like Springfield profit by these good examples, ant do likewise?.__. a & Joun © OC.

Postal Law. The law abolishing the franking . . ‘privilege is.acting precisely as we usperd, says the Virginia 'Entercaentd dt the Government great trou, ble, without adéquate competsution for it. Postagé’stamps for the different departments are issued, and all communications between the heads of the d¢partments and their subordinates must be prepaid. To this eid requisitions for stamps are periodidally made by the officers. .of the gedicial, revenue and. other deape ents, = a strict account of ps ‘used* “ond the number on beh must be made monthly or quarterly. This entails upofi all tbe departments a labor for which there should be no necessity. Nor “is this the worst feature of the new, law,. The most of the public documents, in the preparation of which the Government expends. hundreds of thousands of dollars annually,. will ple, for the reason that Congress. 1 men do, not feel disposed to. pay the. postage on them. « If’ these’ “doduments are worth printing, they are, certainly worth distributing; and it is: demanding considerable of.a member of Congress to ask him to pay the postage’on two or three thousand volunres of documents ‘yearly sent to his constituents, The Washington Republican of a late-date says: ‘*Only about 50,000 volumes of public documents belonging to Senators remain at the Capitol, On the House side it is very different, Immense menibers are stowed away, and some disposition will have to be made of

them. More than one-half the members of the House were ‘not re-electincur the.expense of -postage in forwarding documents to their late constituents. A re-elected member,who was here yesterday sending off deced one hundred dollars in postage, which was rather a bitter pili:”~~ It is plain thatthe public documents, issued at great expense by the GovySome of them are apparently, dry, but all contain information. interesting to persons engaged in the different industries of the land. , The Agricultural Reports are valuable to farmers, the Patent. Office Reports to inventors, the Commercial Reports to merchants, the State Department Reports to politicians, and the Congressional Reports to all. It is proper in»a Government such . as ours that. the people should be kept apprised of the detailed workings of the several departments, and the’ départment reports through members of Congress, who are presumed to know the names and addresses of their prominent consfituents. —_But“this distribution will . never be made under the present law, as indicated by the paragraph quoted” froma the Republican: Valuable documents, costing millions to print, will be alowed to acermulate in Washington by the hundreds of thausands of voliimes, because. Congressmen will not prepay them to their constituents.” We aré sure that the ene revenues of the Post Office partment will not begin to comte ote tor the trouble which the aw imposes and the non-distribution of public documents,. It will be found at the _close of the year, that. the increase in postal receipts in pee sequence of the abolition of. franking privilege will not equal me amounts in the aggregate appropriated to the several departments for the payment of postage. Then, where is the economy? It*is better to submit to some abuse of the privilege than that the whole people should suffer through the abolitton of it, All the mails are carried by contract, and we have yet to see that a single contract has been taken the cheaper because of the exclusion from the mails of free matter. We expect to see the franking privilege restored, with such restrictions as may be deemed reasonable. For Sale.
