It is true, Congress has . given to the citizens of our towns something approximating a freehold interest . in town property, and to agriculturalists . a pre-emption right, which is regarded in nearly the same light. These have served to bring among us a few perma. nent residents, lness of the country is mining, and as . mining claims are still held by a title liable to be forfeited by the most trivial . circumstances, the mining population are yet little more than wandering ad. venturers in search of a few thousand dollars, their object being thousands and “¢o home ;” to get these call them “Citizens of California,” . much as if they did not talk of going . HOME. . Itis a fixed fact that four-fifths of our miners, have all their permanent interests — their homes and their families, . on the Atlantic side, and whenever they . become possessed of two or three hundred dollars, if they are net ready to . leave themselves, they send their money to their friends. Here is the seat of the disease, and I think a remedy can b e administered. To do it, however, . we must upset the theory heretofore advocated in the mines —that of non-intervention by the government with the mineral lands. To cure this evil, the greatest that ever has or ever will curse . California, miners, like agriculturalists, must have a fixed interest in their claims, an interest that hangs not on the happening of any local event, which he can neither foresee nor avert —an interest that can neither be abrogated ved upon by the will of a dozen individuals, who may assemble in a district meeting, and alter, amend or abrogate existing laws, during a temporary absence, or sickness— the effect of . more thorough is certainly original, but He must have an interest permanent . and substantial—that is his own, to work or let it alone, as he thinks most to his advantage during his life, and transmit as an inheritance to his ehilIt must, in fact, be When this is real estate. done, we may expect a permanent mining popt. 20 more under any state of affairs, bank lation in California. Then, miners, like farmers, mechanics, merchants, &e. will not fear to bring their families to. carry on a Dank. I know very well that but a few let alone. Then, no one expected to spend his life in California, and men ran liberty te go where they pleased; and wherever they could find a claim not actually being worked, to pitch in and . try his hand — take out a few thousand, and “go home.” He was not settled here —did not wish to be, nor did he want any one else to be. When he went off and Jeft his claim, ke felt as if he never wished to see it again, his object being to get a better one, and he wanted others to do the same. And doubtless there are even yet many in the country of the same roving disposi. tion, who still cling to this principle of universal liberty of the miners. But those who have made up their minds to stay here, or who have an interest at heart for the good of the State, must, ere this, have seen the evil to which it leads, irnal who, were they the bona fide owners of la = i yo. .

But it only abounds in assertions which find no warrant in the laws of trade. The only points we per substitute for money, and the idea title vested mineral lands ; would attach people and money to the . . . country. Iu fact these are the only ithat a in propositions of consequence in our correspondent’s article. By what process of reasoning, or by . known to the commercial world, the writer of the above arrives . what law . at the sapient idea that certain ruin establishment of a. . system of banking similar to that of'. . the State of New York, safe system —a system established on . } would follow the or any other the pledge of the most secure and reliable capital, we, certainly, are unable to say. There is no warrant for such . an assertion, nor for numbers of others in the above communication. Paper currency is termed “ artificial.” Let us ask the Necker who writes so reney ! Did it come naturally as reading and writing to Dogberry, or has a . conventional value been given it for the convenience of trade ? ulate its price, or has the eaprice of man given it a value to suit his purpo. ses? <All currencies are artificial — . skins, but the value of each was fixed by trade. The assertion that a paper eurrency could be sustained here where gold is so abundant but a short time. is at war with eyery rational idea of banking. Banks are founded on capital, and an amount of specie requisite to pay all bills liable to be presented, is necessary to a safe and healthy state of banking affairs. In those countries possessed of little hard currency, banks are more precarious institutions than they ought to be. . which would be a forfeiture of his claim, . the reason why more so— “because for . the country, and make it their home for. stay specie in the country, . life. There are hundred of men here} from falling eventually into the hands In fact the reason given, why paper . eurrency could not be of long duration here, is the very reason why this country is the best calculated to sustain it of Under a wise banking law, an institution can be created any in the world. which can easily command the specie to redeem its bills on presentation. The gold is so handy and plenty as to admit of little difficulty, compared with that experienced sometimes in the East. The idea that under a system of banking the drain of specie, would be the time being it would not be felt.”— We would like to inquire if those who are engaged in robbing the country of its currency capital consult the feelings of the people and regulate the amount they take by that index? They take every dollar they can get, and can take or no bank. Did nature ree. Iron has been used, cowries, soap, and . of large companies having capital to workthem. Such has been the history of mining everywhere, and it will be sure to follow here. . . . . . + . eths of the miners are in favor of allow. ing the mines to remain as they are, and } legislated for the Jeast possible. Congress has so decided, and such will be the policy of the government till an entire revolution in public sentiment is brought about in the mining region. He who waits for that time to approach and the action of Congress afterward, as a panacea for hard times, must have as of endurance of a beast of burthen.— Let our posterity take care of their own affairs. If we want relief it is little consolation to learn that our children can be exempt from distress, but it don’t touch our ease. Important Suir.—One of the most important and interesting suits of this . term of the District Court, was on trial Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday last, being Marlow, et al, vs. Marsh, et al: ; : . F. J. Dunn for plaintiffs; McConnell & j ment in this respect, I verily believe, . Stewart and A. A. Sargent for defendants. The suit was for damages done to the claims of the plaintiffs cn the bank of Humbug Canon, by the conStruction of adam by defendants, and thereby flooding back tailings upon a eanal of plaintiffs, located below and alleged to be connected with the elaims, canal, and obstructing the working of the claims. The prayer of the comthe removal of the dam, The verdict of the jury was for the defendants. Several important principles were settled inthe suit. A parol license to construct a dam or other improvement on land, followed by action upon it, on the part of the person to whom the permission is granted, is not revoked by a sale, andsubsequent purchasers take, subject to Thus, in this case, the defendants had express leave from those of whom plaintiffs purchased claims to erect a dam in plaintiffs were estopped from setting up any claim for damages for the results of an act their predecessors had approved.

That is to say, the im. provements or obstructions below must drainage, and he cannot claim more as against their right accruing before he appropriated more, suit, and settled so as to give security to the two branches of the great mining interest in the State—mines and ditches. So far as we are able to learn, the verdict gives general satisfaction to the community, Wat CiviLizaTioN HAS DONE.— Civilization in its onward strides has done wonders in the nineteenth century, and to the Anglo Saxon race, during that period, much of the world’s progress is to be ascribed. We were forcibly impressed with the foregoing facts a few days since, seeing a squad of aboriginees halt just out of town to put on their breeches before plunging into the thickest of the glorious race before mentioned. Indeed, the race to which we are proud to belong is performing prodigies. Through the influence of missionary enterprise, thousands of woollen shirts have been contributed for the comfort of the heathen in tropical Africa. The Bible has numerously accompanied the aforesaid flannels, and, doubtless, astonishing results have grown out of the enterprise, There ought to have been, considering the prayers that have been fervently offered, the tears that have On the contrary, it takes capital to This will tend to and let it be known that a firm, safe and reliable institution has for once been established, . onld. on a basis not to be disturbed by accl. be tolerated was that the mines must be dents, and hundreds of thousands instead of being returned to the soil again for safety, will pour in for deposit, to . wild with the idea of perfect liberty —. be distributed through all the avenues of trade. To attach men and capital to the State by a sale of the mineral lands, will do for a speculation idea, bat practieally we cannot see how any considerable results can come of such a policyThose miners who are not extensive monopolists, and have good titles to their claims under existing regulations, are content without the absolute fee simple to the soil. They ask no better security for their rights than they have. It is rare that one is wronged out of his rightful possessions. If ever the mineral lands are sold, it must be in limited quantities, judiciously devised by the body of the miners them-. selves. But nothing can prevent them been shed, and anxiety that has been created for the christian the perishing heathen by world. r These prayeits, tears and anxieties for the heathen, are dispensed with when the Christian and he are brought in contact. They are not necessary as in John Elliott’s time, for the force of the dominant race alone, without the efforts of men devoted to the work of regeneration, succeeds admirably in temporizing the soul and body of the poor Indian. What has‘nt the once untutored digger been taught? He can almost live on Christian food, drinks whisky, and puts his breeches on before coming into town. Nine years of contact with the whites has not been without its benefits. The rising generation, at least a portion of it, exhibits a closer affinity to our race, the whole stock like civilized drinks, and wear breeches in town. Such are some of the marvelous results of civilization as expanded by the Anglo Saxon race, whose finai destiny some are troubled about.

It is true, Congress has . given to the citizens of our towns something approximating a freehold interest . in town property, and to agriculturalists . a pre-emption right, which is regarded in nearly the same light. These have served to bring among us a few perma. nent residents, lness of the country is mining, and as . mining claims are still held by a title liable to be forfeited by the most trivial . circumstances, the mining population are yet little more than wandering ad. venturers in search of a few thousand dollars, their object being thousands and “¢o home ;” to get these call them “Citizens of California,” . much as if they did not talk of going . HOME. . Itis a fixed fact that four-fifths of our miners, have all their permanent interests — their homes and their families, . on the Atlantic side, and whenever they . become possessed of two or three hundred dollars, if they are net ready to . leave themselves, they send their money to their friends. Here is the seat of the disease, and I think a remedy can b e administered. To do it, however, . we must upset the theory heretofore advocated in the mines —that of non-intervention by the government with the mineral lands. To cure this evil, the greatest that ever has or ever will curse . California, miners, like agriculturalists, must have a fixed interest in their claims, an interest that hangs not on the happening of any local event, which he can neither foresee nor avert —an interest that can neither be abrogated ved upon by the will of a dozen individuals, who may assemble in a district meeting, and alter, amend or abrogate existing laws, during a temporary absence, or sickness— the effect of . more thorough is certainly original, but He must have an interest permanent . and substantial—that is his own, to work or let it alone, as he thinks most to his advantage during his life, and transmit as an inheritance to his ehilIt must, in fact, be When this is real estate. done, we may expect a permanent mining popt. 20 more under any state of affairs, bank lation in California. Then, miners, like farmers, mechanics, merchants, &e. will not fear to bring their families to. carry on a Dank. I know very well that but a few let alone. Then, no one expected to spend his life in California, and men ran liberty te go where they pleased; and wherever they could find a claim not actually being worked, to pitch in and . try his hand — take out a few thousand, and “go home.” He was not settled here —did not wish to be, nor did he want any one else to be. When he went off and Jeft his claim, ke felt as if he never wished to see it again, his object being to get a better one, and he wanted others to do the same. And doubtless there are even yet many in the country of the same roving disposi. tion, who still cling to this principle of universal liberty of the miners. But those who have made up their minds to stay here, or who have an interest at heart for the good of the State, must, ere this, have seen the evil to which it leads, irnal who, were they the bona fide owners of la = i yo. .

But it only abounds in assertions which find no warrant in the laws of trade. The only points we per substitute for money, and the idea title vested mineral lands ; would attach people and money to the . . . country. Iu fact these are the only ithat a in propositions of consequence in our correspondent’s article. By what process of reasoning, or by . known to the commercial world, the writer of the above arrives . what law . at the sapient idea that certain ruin establishment of a. . system of banking similar to that of'. . the State of New York, safe system —a system established on . } would follow the or any other the pledge of the most secure and reliable capital, we, certainly, are unable to say. There is no warrant for such . an assertion, nor for numbers of others in the above communication. Paper currency is termed “ artificial.” Let us ask the Necker who writes so reney ! Did it come naturally as reading and writing to Dogberry, or has a . conventional value been given it for the convenience of trade ? ulate its price, or has the eaprice of man given it a value to suit his purpo. ses? <All currencies are artificial — . skins, but the value of each was fixed by trade. The assertion that a paper eurrency could be sustained here where gold is so abundant but a short time. is at war with eyery rational idea of banking. Banks are founded on capital, and an amount of specie requisite to pay all bills liable to be presented, is necessary to a safe and healthy state of banking affairs. In those countries possessed of little hard currency, banks are more precarious institutions than they ought to be. . which would be a forfeiture of his claim, . the reason why more so— “because for . the country, and make it their home for. stay specie in the country, . life. There are hundred of men here} from falling eventually into the hands In fact the reason given, why paper . eurrency could not be of long duration here, is the very reason why this country is the best calculated to sustain it of Under a wise banking law, an institution can be created any in the world. which can easily command the specie to redeem its bills on presentation. The gold is so handy and plenty as to admit of little difficulty, compared with that experienced sometimes in the East. The idea that under a system of banking the drain of specie, would be the time being it would not be felt.”— We would like to inquire if those who are engaged in robbing the country of its currency capital consult the feelings of the people and regulate the amount they take by that index? They take every dollar they can get, and can take or no bank. Did nature ree. Iron has been used, cowries, soap, and . of large companies having capital to workthem. Such has been the history of mining everywhere, and it will be sure to follow here. . . . . . + . eths of the miners are in favor of allow. ing the mines to remain as they are, and } legislated for the Jeast possible. Congress has so decided, and such will be the policy of the government till an entire revolution in public sentiment is brought about in the mining region. He who waits for that time to approach and the action of Congress afterward, as a panacea for hard times, must have as of endurance of a beast of burthen.— Let our posterity take care of their own affairs. If we want relief it is little consolation to learn that our children can be exempt from distress, but it don’t touch our ease. Important Suir.—One of the most important and interesting suits of this . term of the District Court, was on trial Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday last, being Marlow, et al, vs. Marsh, et al: ; : . F. J. Dunn for plaintiffs; McConnell & j ment in this respect, I verily believe, . Stewart and A. A. Sargent for defendants. The suit was for damages done to the claims of the plaintiffs cn the bank of Humbug Canon, by the conStruction of adam by defendants, and thereby flooding back tailings upon a eanal of plaintiffs, located below and alleged to be connected with the elaims, canal, and obstructing the working of the claims. The prayer of the comthe removal of the dam, The verdict of the jury was for the defendants. Several important principles were settled inthe suit. A parol license to construct a dam or other improvement on land, followed by action upon it, on the part of the person to whom the permission is granted, is not revoked by a sale, andsubsequent purchasers take, subject to Thus, in this case, the defendants had express leave from those of whom plaintiffs purchased claims to erect a dam in plaintiffs were estopped from setting up any claim for damages for the results of an act their predecessors had approved.

That is to say, the im. provements or obstructions below must drainage, and he cannot claim more as against their right accruing before he appropriated more, suit, and settled so as to give security to the two branches of the great mining interest in the State—mines and ditches. So far as we are able to learn, the verdict gives general satisfaction to the community, Wat CiviLizaTioN HAS DONE.— Civilization in its onward strides has done wonders in the nineteenth century, and to the Anglo Saxon race, during that period, much of the world’s progress is to be ascribed. We were forcibly impressed with the foregoing facts a few days since, seeing a squad of aboriginees halt just out of town to put on their breeches before plunging into the thickest of the glorious race before mentioned. Indeed, the race to which we are proud to belong is performing prodigies. Through the influence of missionary enterprise, thousands of woollen shirts have been contributed for the comfort of the heathen in tropical Africa. The Bible has numerously accompanied the aforesaid flannels, and, doubtless, astonishing results have grown out of the enterprise, There ought to have been, considering the prayers that have been fervently offered, the tears that have On the contrary, it takes capital to This will tend to and let it be known that a firm, safe and reliable institution has for once been established, . onld. on a basis not to be disturbed by accl. be tolerated was that the mines must be dents, and hundreds of thousands instead of being returned to the soil again for safety, will pour in for deposit, to . wild with the idea of perfect liberty —. be distributed through all the avenues of trade. To attach men and capital to the State by a sale of the mineral lands, will do for a speculation idea, bat practieally we cannot see how any considerable results can come of such a policyThose miners who are not extensive monopolists, and have good titles to their claims under existing regulations, are content without the absolute fee simple to the soil. They ask no better security for their rights than they have. It is rare that one is wronged out of his rightful possessions. If ever the mineral lands are sold, it must be in limited quantities, judiciously devised by the body of the miners them-. selves. But nothing can prevent them been shed, and anxiety that has been created for the christian the perishing heathen by world. r These prayeits, tears and anxieties for the heathen, are dispensed with when the Christian and he are brought in contact. They are not necessary as in John Elliott’s time, for the force of the dominant race alone, without the efforts of men devoted to the work of regeneration, succeeds admirably in temporizing the soul and body of the poor Indian. What has‘nt the once untutored digger been taught? He can almost live on Christian food, drinks whisky, and puts his breeches on before coming into town. Nine years of contact with the

whites has not been without its benefits. The rising generation, at least a portion of it, exhibits a closer affinity to our race, the whole stock like civilized drinks, and wear breeches in town. Such are some of the marvelous results of civilization as expanded by the Anglo Saxon race, whose finai destiny some are troubled about.
