San Juan, Maren 4th, 1856, Mr, Eprror:—Having recently returned rom a visit to oneofthe most important enerprises ever undertaken in this section of the . nines and one,that most*especially affects the . »rosperity of this particular locality I am inings erected last season: A. W. Potter, . ‘uced, inasmuch as I bave never seen it men ieued in the public prints, to give your rea-. ‘ers a brief account of the irception of the »roject and the present condition of the work. aliude to the ditch of the Middle Yuba Ca-} aal and Water Company which is desigued to! ‘urnish water for this place, Mansanita Hill, ind the adjacent diggings. M.F. Hoit, Esq., -ormerly of Nevada, has the credit of being the irst prajector of the undertaking. Through lis representations a company of the miners ind citizens of San Juan, commenced in the “all of '53 to construct a small ditch to Griz‘ly Canon with the ultimate design of eulargng and extending itto the Middle Yuba.— This company being, to use a familiar but expressive colloquial phrase, "rather ‘hard ap,” the enterprise was prosecuted by the individual ‘abor of the stockholders. Mr. Hoit surrenering his right to the water of the Canon for two shares in the ditch, and John R. asad performing the engineering for a similar compensation. ‘This was completed about Steen . mouths ago and although not so immediately successful as some of the ditches in the vicinity of Nevada, received sufficient encouragement to warrant its further extension. As this required a corsiderable larger amount of ‘the . “needful” tian the company could raise, efforts . were made to induce capitalists from other, places to embark in the enterprise. Through . the exertions of Col. R. Abbey the indefatiga} ble Secretary of the Company, Messrs. Jennings and Fraser, who had been highly suc: cessful in a similar enterprise at Negro Hill, El Dorado County, were induced to purchase one half of the company’s ditch and water right and to apply the funds to the construction of the present noble work. Additional money was obtained by the issue and sale of more stock. Under the energetic supervision of Mr. Jennings the lower ditch has becn enlarged and a new ditch and fume is now nearly completed from Grizzly Canon to the Middle Yuba. It strikes the river about one mile and a quarterabove the mouth of Bloody Run, and trom . thence to San Juan is a distance of twenty:six . Will be recollected that the miners of the extract, puts the administration party in. Ba A talking match lately came off at New O:leans for five dollars aside. It continued according miles. ‘The dimensions oi the flume are three! by four fect and the ditch is somewhat larger, with an average grade of twelve feet to the mile. As between eight and nine miles of the upper end had to be flumed, the company with . commendable foresight erected a saw mill near-. ly opposite to the head of the ditch on the summit of the ridge and have furnished their own lumber at comparatively small expense.— They have already sawed about cleven hundred . thousand fect of lumber, and it is estimated that . between one and two hundred thousand more will be required to complete the flume.

Greeley heads his account of the assult thus—“ Border Ruffianism in Washington.” He says—“ I have heard since I came here n’good deal of the petsonal violence to which . wns exposed, but only one man has offered to attack me until to-day, and he was so drunk that he made a poor fist of it.” The cause of the attack —some strictures by Greeley in the Tribune.

In many places the Jedges have been taken down fifty or sixty feet in perpendicular height, filling up the river below with huge masses of rock, and compelling Jobn Chinaman to “vamoose” from his diggings in a hurty. The grading and ditch is now completed, and about six weeks more work will finish the flume, so you see that we shall have to wait but ; a “little longer” for the “good time coming.” Great praise is due the directors of the compa: uy, Messrs.

As forus we are al: ready reaping benefits from it, our claims have already doubled and trebled, and in some instances even quadrupled in value since the com: mencenent of the undertaking. Our merchants are doing more business, our town is twice the size it was last winter, and although our claims may not be quite as richas Tabie Mountain is reported to be, yet we all think that by a few years of steady work we shall beable to fill our pockets with the “shining dust’’ and return to the “old folks at home.” I remain yours, &c.

The deeeased had been long and intimately £30%sn . to the citizens of Nevada and his sudden and untimel y) death has awakened a sensation of alatost universal . sorrow and regret. This morning at 1 o’clock his . remains were consigned to their last resting place in . the presence of a largo number of sympathizing { friends whose serious air and moistoned eyes indicated . but too plainly that they had sustained a loss which . will not be easily repaired. And indeed, it may be . said of the deceased, that “‘take him all in all, we ne’er shall look upon his like again.” Having, in early youth, given bye of eminent . that the Captain should enter the army, and such was the splendor of his first achievements that he was at once promoted to the command of the forces stationed at Nevads.— Like many othersof his adventurous —— Capt. Ryners was exceedingly pugnacious, but was nevyertheless magnanimous, high-toned, chivalrous and brave. The campaigns through which he passed and which for the most part, he conducted in propria persona, were numerous, stirring and eventful and were wanting perhaps only in the “pomp and circumstance of war’ to have rendered them the most brilliant and imposing upon record. From the force of early training the Captain had become so passionately enamored of a soldier’s life that he was rarely ever contented save when in the discharge of active professional duty, and during the last two years of his life, it was his “custom always of an afternoon” to take 8 position in front of the camp and make an indiscriminate charge upon every straggler that was so unfortunate as to pass that way. In all these little extemporateous skirmishes it was the Captain’s invariable policy to surprise the enemy by attacking him in the rear—a stratagetic mode of warfare which he pursued with the most astonishing success, having rarely failed to leave himself the undisputed master of the field. Reuben Ryners was dead game—an astute diplomatist—a finished tactician and a matchless dieciplinarian. An extreme jealousy of his own authority was probably the distinctive clement in the Captain’s character, and every attempt at its usurpation received summary and condign punishment, irrespective of the influence, rank, title or position of the offender. : The Captain had long enjoyed the freedom of the city and was everywhere a welcome guest and was always eg with oe es consideration and respect which were due alike to his surpassing private worth and his distinguished military attainments — The Captain was meditative, dignified, serious, profound and yet he was accessible and social ina high de y is perceptions were discriminating, quick cag ya A and many of his most important conclusions were reached with the rapidity of intuition and the accuracy of mathematical demonstration. Tothe giddy sports and hair-brained pranks of volatile puppy the Captain seldom condescended, and when occasionally he did so far unbend his dignity as to ‘‘changea ring” or “taken turn,” it seemed to be less for the purpose of his own relaxation and j engagement than for the gratification and amusement of his gallant protege, Lieut. Thomas cee who, for the last six months had been the bosom fri and boon companion of the late, lamented Captain and had gone with him, side by side, through many of his most sanguinary contests. .
