Orleans, was sunk at now three times the amount of material in it) branch of this Express fer recent favors. Hatchee Island, and will of any other office in this county. This material has all been selected by a practical printer, and is adapted to all descriptions of work. Our press is twice the size of any other in the county. We have also ‘the largest job type, and can issue the largest apd handsoraest posters. We have the only Ruggles card press in the county, on which we ean work off 800 impressions per hour—260 being the work of a common lever press. Our prices are the same that they have been the past six months, and will always conform to the times. But as we do a large share of the work of our office ourselves, being practical printers, and thus save much hire of bands. we can do work at a profit where other offices in the county at the same price would do it at a loss. Therefore, if need be, we will reduce our prices to the mere cost of material end Jabor, or even one half price the latter. So much for what we will do. What we will not do is to dog the steps of persons getting work done at any other office and levy black-mail. We will not threaten to come down on a business unless the proprietor gives us an advertisement of it, as well as to another paper. We will ut querulously complain to persons of our political sentiments that they go to another office to get work done. We will not bribe a dooerkceper to scatter our imprint in Concert Hall because we don't get the programmes to print. We wont charge M. Guillod or any other person one price, and then cut it down to get his work at Grass Valley away from the Telegraph office. We wont after doing that accuse another paper that it takes work below prices we pretended to work at. Ifit should happen that not knowing we in furnishing us eur exchanges. For several months our list had gradually decreased till but two or three San Francisco papers reached us, and Marysville and Saeramento papers hardly at all. On calling attention to this state of things Wells, Fargo & Co. promptly brought up our list to full files from the whole state, save Sacramente papers which ere yet minus. We appreciate this the more because the favor came promptly at need. BG The discoveries made by the recent prospectors on the eayote extension lead give the irresistible conclusion that the lead runs past the Sugar Leaf in a northeast direction. The lead is found as rich as $13 per pan. A large company, Loft & Co. have issued a call for proposals for the sinking a shaft on their claims at a place where they will have to go 156 feet, and drain with a steam engine. It is estimated that $9,000,000 have already been . 5 taken from this lead. pee Mrs. Waller has been giving very successful concerts in Auburn, Rattlesnake Bar and Placerville.

The rapid growth of the city reference to town lots on the outskirts of rove a total loss. New York, Oct. 11.—Several heavy failures have been announced in this city, among them . that of the well-known banking house of Simeon . Draper. Speculation in stocks are the causes assigned for the unexpected and unfortunate disasters. New York, Oct. 12.—At the State elections which have just been concluded in Pennsylvania the whole Democratic ticket has been carried. In the city of Philadelphia, however, the Whig candidate for the mayorality has been elected. Barnabus Bates, the author of the cheap postage system in the United States. died in Boston this morning. The New York money market continues tight. Sterling exchange is at 10 per cent. premium. The elections in Ohio have resulted in the complete success of the Democratic ticket.—Medill, the candidate of that party for the office of Governor, is said to have received a majority of nearly 30,000 votes over his rival. Bartrore, Oct. 12.—The election of members to serve in the Municipal Council in this city has resulted in the return of eleven democrats and nine whigs. This is a whig gain. MosiiE, Oct. 13.—There have been nine interments in this city during the past twentyfour hours. Of these there were four in which vellow fever was assigned as the ¢ause of death. It still continues very hot here. Soutnuwest Pass, Oct. 12, 3 rp. —The towboat Thomas McDaniel exploded her boilers on the bar at noon to-day, with terrific and sad effect. The vessel herself is badly damaged, and it is believed that three lives ~ere at once sacrificed, and several others ate put in great jeopardy from the wounds reeeived. Capt Francis, of the vessel, was blown overboard and is badly hurt. Robert Elliott, 2d engineer. Samuel League and Alired Walters, coal-heavers, one deck-hand and two colored boys, are badly scalded.

We don’t let our compositors go growling about town that they cannot get their pay from us. We don’t go to business men and offer to take advertssements at any price after pledging ourselves to certain prices and take it in their way. We wont catch itinerant players and singers in the outskirts of the town and “compel them to come in” our office for work. And we wont after doing all these things, talk of honor and straightf' wardness. If we wont the Young America w.1 and does do one and all of them. Appropos we commend the following article of the Louisville Journal of Sept. 16th, to public notice. The parallel to the editor ofthe Y. A. is as perfect as if he had sat for the picture : gpas~ During the administration of Gen. Jackson, a considerable number of editors were appointed postmasters, and some three or four of them, after entering upon the discharge of their official duties, eontinued, or were suspected of continuing, their editorial relations with their respective papers. The whig presses commented in terms of strong indignation upon the manifest and scandalous impropriety ef a man’s being permitted to act as postmaster and partizan editor at the same time, and a re~ dress, at least an apparent redress, of the evil speedily followed. Orders were issued from headquarters at Washingten city,that no postmaster should edit a paper, and, if the order was in any case disregarded, it was done secretly. No postmaster, if connected with a newspaper, dared to let his conneetion with it be known to the public. During the succeeding administrations of Van Buren, Harrison, Tyler, Polk, Taylor, and Fillmore the same rule was enforced. By neither ef those administrations was a postmaster tolerated in avowedly editinga newspaper. Locofoco postmasters were occasionally charged, and whig postmasters Were sometimes charged, with writing and publishing political articles clandestinely and even with having the secret contro] and management of partizan papers, but ne charge of the kind was at any time acknowledged by these against whom it was made. Ifa whig postmaster had under any administration avowed himeelf the editor of a paper or dared to be the editor of a paper undisguisedly, the whole locofoco party would justly have made the land resound with the fiercest denunciations of the outrage. . What was never tolerated by any preceding administration is openly tolerated im the Pierce administration. There is at least one locofoco postmaster who is acting as the avowed editor of a locofoco and free soil paper. We allude to the man Gray, editor of the Cleveland Plaindealer, whom.the admiuistration appeinted some months ago fto the Cleveland post-offiee. Kver since his appointment to the post-office, he has been acting openly as both postmaster and and as a locofoco editor. He seeks no disguise in the matter. Indeed, in his capacity of editor he continually speaks of himself and undertakes to vindicate himself in his capacity of pestmaster. The toleration of him in both of these capacities is a disgrace to the administration, a disgrace as we have said,without parallel. The other editors of Clevoland have not the least confidence in him, either as an editor, as a postmaster, or asa man, and it is impossible for them to shut out from their minds the suspicion that he Claims like those at the lower cities are hapcumas occurring wea, We have the pleasure to inform our readers that a grand Thanksgiving ball will take place in this city on the 24th inst. under the auspices of Mr. L. P. Frisbie, well known for his admirable tact in matters of this kind. It will take place at the beautiful new “Concert Hall,” and we doubt not will be according to promise the “ pleasantest party of the season.” yep. Messrs Conner & Wentworth have put on a daily line between this place and Downieville, through in one day, and are jcrowded with passengers. This popular line is fast absorbing all the northern travel, benefitting all the towns on the route, and einighag its own reward. _—_— EP 8@ A cayote company on Manconita Hill have averaged $1000 per week after all expenses are paid, for the past twu months. Thay goto a depth of 130 feet. yea. Several sluice companies are awaiting the arrival of water to sluice into Wet Hill on the cayote range. They have blas» ted their way several hundred feet through solid granite, and laid down their flumes. This hill has been remarkable rich, but as its name portends, is too wet for extensive cayoting. The proposed method will take off the whole hill to the bed rock, in the manner the hills farther northeast have been served. pap [. Williamson, Esq., was elected foreman of the Nevada fire company on Monday evening last. C. Fabius Wood was elected Secretary and Treasurer. Wirson’s Excuance, at San Francisco has been greatly enlarged and thoroughly refitted, making now one of the finest and and most pleasant hotels in the state. b@sMr. M.S. M. Taylor has opened an evening writing school in this city.— Frem evidence in our possession we believe him fully competent. The art of writing well is possessed by few, and yet is easily acquired under proper instruction. We recommend him to favorable notiee. His rooms are at the new temperance hall. sam Z. P. Davis is erecting at the back of his establishment a fine shooting gallery. It is a good idea, as the present system of . shooting about town is always attended with risk. BG We had several hours of hard rain on Wednesday night, and the clouds are yet lowering upon us. pea. We are indebted to Mr. Felt for . Sovtuwest Pass, Oct. 10.—Th: Hamburg bark George Nichols, from Navy Bay, bound for Cienfuegos de Cuba, has been picked up at sea by the bark Sarah Bridge, with only the ‘mate, of all her equipage, left living, and he very sick. The captain and the rest of the crew had all died of Chagres fever, from which disease the mate also was suffering. The captain of the Sarah Bridge put his mate and part of his crew on board the death4wept ship, which has been brought in, and is 10w on her way up the river. Ye.tow Frver at Jackson, Miss.—Oct. 13.—The yellow fever is decidedly on the increase in Jackson, much to the distress of the inhabitants. Out of 450 persons, vhich is the estimated population of the place xt present there have been no fewer than 17 new cases during the past 24 hours. The dbease, too, hasj become more malignant and fatal. general panic prevails, and business is almost or quite suspended. Tue Fire in Burrato.—At the fire in Buf falo, Oct. 5, four or five acres of ground were burned over. The telegraphic dispatches to New Orleans contain the following in relation to the conflagration. Over one hundred buildings were destroyed, but the loss will not probably exceed $30,000, the insurance on which is under $20,000. Some brick blocks were consumed, and others much damaged. The fire consumed both sides of Evans strect, from Fly to Rock street ; both sides of Lecoulteaux in the same boundaries. One side of State, one side of Fly, and both sides of Rock. through to the canal. The Panama brings the following news : Peru RivatLEp—Cartrornia OvtLonE—ExTRAORDINARY YreLp.—The news from the Gold regions of the Amazon continues higtly interA! as to interfere with out-door business, or present any serious obstacles to crossing the Isthmus. In another month or so, the rainy season will probably have entirely passed ‘away, wheh we must look for a long spell of incessant dry weather. Sate or Ruts, &c. at Panama.--A large amount of government property, consisting of houses and ruins of churches within the city, . will be offered for salein ‘a few days. Eastern Arratrs.—The intelligence brought by the Canada is Dothing more definite as to the actual state of affairs between Turkey and Russia than that which has already reached as. . Matters still bore a threatening appeatance, but here was nothing at all more decisive about them. The combined fleets of England and France had, indeed, passed the Dardenelles, and proceeded up the straits, anchored off Constantinople ; and this would, under ordinary circumstances, be a pregnant sign of immediate impending hostilities. But this appearance is to a degree removed by the assertion of the necessity of having efficient protection at hand against the fury of the Musselmen war party being the cause of the advanced squadron. -And this may be so; but, if it is, fortuitous circumstances have given the allies of Turkey a most fortunate opportunity of placing themselves in a position of co-ordinate advantage with that which Russia has assumed to her disadvantage in the principalities, without necessarily implying anything hostile to Russia by the movement. It is not disguised, however, that serious apprehensions are felt that a final settlement of the difficulties will prove a matter not of easy or speedy accomplishment. Troops For CaLirornra.—Six companies of the Third Artillery of the United States Army, have received orders to proceed immediately to California. Lost OverBoarp.—On the 16th of August last, Hannibal Barret, aged nine years, whose parents reside at San Francisco, was lost overboard within three days sail of Valparaiso. He was on his way to England to be educated. Rica Dicaines 1x tHE Nortu.—The Crescent City correspondent of the Mountain Herald says that there is considerable excitement in relation to the “beach diggings’’ tecently discovered between there and Port Orford. Tak Nevapa Journat.—One of the most valuable and welcome of our country exchanges is the Nevada Journal, edited by A. A. Sargent, Esq. Itscolumns are filled with interesting editorials and judicious selections. Its readers in the interior are fortunate in possessing so able an exponent of their interests. . Com. Adv. Friovrinc Miri.—A company has been formed in Tuolumne county, with a capital stock of, $40,000, to erect a mill on the Tuolumne river, for the purpose of grinding wheat, &c. The mill is to be of the very best description, and to be completed on or betore the first of September next. Three thousand acres of wheat, says the Columbia Gazette, will be sowed this fall in the:valley convenient to this mill. ArFfray at GeorcETown.—We are informitems : ae .

We learn that'a miner named Russell, was robbed Friday night ata place called the Orleans Bar, on J street of some thirtytwo ounces of gold dust. . Lrvets.—From observation made by a} gentleman in this city on Friday, we learn that the surface of the water in the Sacramento river opposite K street, is but thirteen feet above the level of the sea. The new grade of K street is thirty-nine feet. An unusually large number of persons arrived in town on Friday,in steamboats and stages. The population of this city will undoubtedly be increased some two or three thousand this winter, as miners who are unable to work their claims during the rainy season, can live at much less expense in this city than country. Miners usually have two setts of claims, excitement among the enthusiastic and_perigrinatin portion of our population. Fortts nately i expense of reaching Loreto, the many to undertake the joarncy. — . + The great sin of our people is a “haste to become rich.” They aré unable to resist the glittering allurements occasioned by exaggerated reparts of extraordinary diggings, gotten up most! generally by interested parties and which, in nine cases out of every ten, prove a sell to those gullable hombres who regard all that glitters to be gold. California everybody knows has one of the most salubrious and healthy climates in the world. It has rich arable land, and casy of cultivation adequate to the support of ten millions of people. Its mines are, beyond all possibility of ¢avil ordoubt, the most rich and extensive of any now known in any part of the discovered portions of our giobe. Almost every kind of labor finds ready employment and a reward unparallelled in the annals of civilization. The means of rapidly acquiring a fortune are within the reach of every one. All that is required are economy and industry. Here there is no excuse for poverty. Nothing but indolence, pride iand extravagance contribute to destitution and want. We have tens cf thousands of auriferous and work the dry diggings in wet weather, . banks that will promptly and richly honor the after leaving the rivers. checks that the sons of industry draw upon them.

A small number of whom ate attending private schools at a great expense, but the larger portion growing up in rance. matter of public education is beginning to excite considerable interest among our citizens. It has been too long neglected. Mysterious DisapPpeaRANCE.—We learn that Dr. Jones, of this city, left his room last evening with six or seven hundred doljfifteen years a fortune. All the means and ap. pliances for comfort, all the luxuries of life, are within the reach of those having the means of procuring them.

This material has all been selected by a practical printer, and is adapted to all descriptions of work. Our press is twice the size of any other in the county. We have also ‘the largest job type, and can issue the largest apd handsoraest posters. We have the only Ruggles card press in the county, on which we ean work off 800 impressions per hour—260 being the work of a common lever press. Our prices are the same that they have been the past six months, and will always conform to the times. But as we do a large share of the work of our office ourselves, being practical printers, and thus save much hire of bands. we can do work at a profit where other offices in the county at the same price would do it at a loss. Therefore, if need be, we will reduce our prices to the mere cost of material end Jabor, or even one half price the latter. So much for what we will do. What we will not do is to dog the steps of persons getting work done at any other office and levy black-mail. We will not threaten to come down on a business unless the proprietor gives us an advertisement of it, as well as to another paper. We will ut querulously complain to persons of our political sentiments that they go to another office to get work done. We will not bribe a dooerkceper to scatter our imprint in Concert Hall because we don't get the programmes to print. We wont charge M. Guillod or any other person one price, and then cut it down to get his work at Grass Valley away from the Telegraph office. We wont after doing that accuse another paper that it takes work below prices we pretended to work at. Ifit should happen that not knowing we in furnishing us eur exchanges.

On calling attention to this state of things Wells, Fargo & Co. promptly brought up our list to full files from the whole state, save Sacramente papers which ere yet minus. We appreciate this the more because the favor came promptly at need. BG The discoveries made by the recent prospectors on the eayote extension lead give the irresistible conclusion that the lead runs past the Sugar Leaf in a northeast direction. The lead is found as rich as $13 per pan.

New York, Oct. 11.—Several heavy failures have been announced in this city, among them . that of the well-known banking house of Simeon . Draper. Speculation in stocks are the causes assigned for the unexpected and unfortunate disasters. New York, Oct. 12.—At the State elections which have just been concluded in Pennsylvania the whole Democratic ticket has been carried. In the city of Philadelphia, however, the Whig candidate for the mayorality has been elected. Barnabus Bates, the author of the cheap postage system in the United States. died in Boston this morning. The New York money market continues tight. Sterling exchange is at 10 per cent. premium. The elections in Ohio have resulted in the complete success of the Democratic ticket.—Medill, the candidate of that party for the office of Governor, is said to have received a majority of nearly 30,000 votes over his rival. Bartrore, Oct. 12.—The election of members to serve in the Municipal Council in this city has resulted in the return of eleven democrats and nine whigs. This is a whig gain. MosiiE, Oct. 13.—There have been nine interments in this city during the past twentyfour hours. Of these there were four in which vellow fever was assigned as the ¢ause of death.

And we wont after doing all these things, talk of honor and straightf' wardness. If we wont the Young America w.1 and does do one and all of them. Appropos we commend the following article of the Louisville Journal of Sept. 16th, to public notice. The parallel to the editor ofthe Y. A. is as perfect as if he had sat for the picture : gpas~ During the administration of Gen. Jackson, a considerable number of editors were appointed postmasters, and some three or four of them, after entering upon the discharge of their official duties, eontinued, or were suspected of continuing, their editorial relations with their respective papers. The whig presses commented in terms of strong indignation upon the manifest and scandalous impropriety ef a man’s being permitted to act as postmaster and partizan editor at the same time, and a re~ dress, at least an apparent redress, of the evil speedily followed. Orders were issued from headquarters at Washingten city,that no postmaster should edit a paper, and, if the order was in any case disregarded, it was done secretly. No postmaster, if connected with a newspaper, dared to let his conneetion with it be known to the public. During the succeeding administrations of Van Buren, Harrison, Tyler, Polk, Taylor, and Fillmore the same rule was enforced. By neither ef those administrations was a postmaster tolerated in avowedly editinga newspaper. Locofoco postmasters were occasionally charged, and whig postmasters Were sometimes charged, with writing and publishing political articles clandestinely and even with having the secret contro] and management of partizan papers, but ne charge of the kind was at any time acknowledged by these against whom it was made. Ifa whig postmaster had under any administration avowed himeelf the editor of a paper or dared to be the editor of a paper undisguisedly, the whole locofoco party would justly have made the land resound with the fiercest denunciations of the outrage. . What was never tolerated by any preceding administration is openly tolerated im the Pierce administration. There is at least one locofoco postmaster who is acting as the avowed editor of a locofoco and free soil paper. We allude to the man Gray, editor of the Cleveland Plaindealer, whom.the admiuistration appeinted some months ago fto the Cleveland post-offiee. Kver since his appointment to the post-office, he has been acting openly as both postmaster and and as a locofoco editor. He seeks no disguise in the matter. Indeed, in his capacity of editor he continually speaks of himself and undertakes to vindicate himself in his capacity of pestmaster. The toleration of him in both of these capacities is a disgrace to the administration, a disgrace as we have said,without parallel. The other editors of Clevoland have not the least confidence in him, either as an editor, as a postmaster, or asa man, and it is impossible for them to shut out from their minds the suspicion that he Claims like those at the lower cities are hapcumas occurring wea, We have the pleasure to inform our readers that a grand Thanksgiving ball will take place in this city on the 24th inst. under the auspices of Mr. L.

Ye.tow Frver at Jackson, Miss.—Oct. 13.—The yellow fever is decidedly on the increase in Jackson, much to the distress of the inhabitants.

The dbease, too, hasj become more malignant and fatal. general panic prevails, and business is almost or quite suspended. Tue Fire in Burrato.—At the fire in Buf falo, Oct. 5, four or five acres of ground were burned over. The telegraphic dispatches to New Orleans contain the following in relation to the conflagration. Over one hundred buildings were destroyed, but the loss will not probably exceed $30,000, the insurance on which is under $20,000. Some brick blocks were consumed, and others much damaged. The fire consumed both sides of Evans strect, from Fly to Rock street ; both sides of Lecoulteaux in the same boundaries.

Sate or Ruts, &c. at Panama.--A large amount of government property, consisting of houses and ruins of churches within the city, . will be offered for salein ‘a few days. Eastern Arratrs.—The intelligence brought by the Canada is Dothing more definite as to the actual state of affairs between Turkey and Russia than that which has already reached as. . Matters still bore a threatening appeatance, but here was nothing at all more decisive about them. The combined fleets of England and France had, indeed, passed the Dardenelles, and proceeded up the straits, anchored off Constantinople ; and this would, under ordinary circumstances, be a pregnant sign of immediate impending hostilities. But this appearance is to a degree removed by the assertion of the necessity of having efficient protection at hand against the fury of the Musselmen war party being the cause of the advanced squadron. -And this may be so; but, if it is, fortuitous circumstances have given the allies of Turkey a most fortunate opportunity of placing themselves in a position of co-ordinate advantage with that which Russia has assumed to her disadvantage in the principalities, without necessarily implying anything hostile to Russia by the movement. It is not disguised, however, that serious apprehensions are felt that a final settlement of the difficulties will prove a matter not of easy or speedy accomplishment. Troops For CaLirornra.—Six companies of the Third Artillery of the United States Army, have received orders to proceed immediately to California. Lost OverBoarp.—On the 16th of August last, Hannibal Barret, aged nine years, whose parents reside at San Francisco, was lost overboard within three days sail of Valparaiso.

The new grade of K street is thirty-nine feet. An unusually large number of persons arrived in town on Friday,in steamboats and stages. The population of this city will undoubtedly be increased some two or three thousand this winter, as miners who are unable to work their claims during the rainy season, can live at much less expense in this city than country. Miners usually have two setts of claims, excitement among the enthusiastic and_perigrinatin portion of our population. Fortts nately i expense of reaching Loreto, the many to undertake the joarncy. — . + The great sin of our people is a “haste to become rich.” They aré unable to resist the glittering allurements occasioned by exaggerated reparts of extraordinary diggings, gotten up most! generally by interested parties and which, in nine cases out of every ten, prove a sell to those gullable hombres who regard all that glitters to be gold. California everybody knows has one of the most salubrious and healthy climates in the world. It has rich arable land, and casy of cultivation adequate to the support of ten millions of people. Its mines are, beyond all possibility of ¢avil ordoubt, the most rich and extensive of any now known in any part of the discovered portions of our giobe. Almost every kind of labor finds ready employment and a reward unparallelled in the annals of civilization. The means of rapidly acquiring a fortune are within the reach of every one. All that is required are economy and industry. Here there is no excuse for poverty. Nothing but indolence, pride iand extravagance contribute to destitution and want.
