JOURNAL. Ricn Discovery, A friend from Walaupa informs us that much ex» citement exists in that busy little berg in consequerce of the discovery of a rich lead, entirely by accident, in the heart of that town. Some _ persons were digging a well for water, a subscription having been raised for that purpose, and found the color all the way down, but no water, to the depth of thirty feet. Another subscription was raised to sink the well thirty feet farther, and during the second attempt a dollar to the pan was struck, and at three feet farther down, five dollars per pan, and no signs of a bed rock. Innumerable claims were staked off, and, as our informant had it, “donkeys londed mith stakes were being driven about, to stake off the streets.” Politieal prospects at Waloupa and Little York were first rate.

Ve Rains. On ‘Thursday morning last, about day-light a smart rain commenced, which continues with little intermission till our paper goes to press. The winter has come upon us.

The Merald publishes some interesting statistics in reference to the comparative mortality on the two routes to Culifernia by steamers and sailing veasels, by which it appears that the route by Panama is the most healthy, and the per centage of deaths much less than by any other. The Herald aske, ‘‘ How are these differences to be accounted for? Ifit is coneeded that the passengers by both routes are alike healthy when they leave their homes, aa it must be, and that in regard to the salubrity there is but little if amy advantage te either route, the inference is that the sanitary measures practised on the Panama steamers, are better than those on the Nicaragua steamers.’ The Mormons.-—A correspondent of the Alta writing from San Bernardino, the prosperous colony settled by this people, says: “The Mormons, as a body, have ne principles established. Happy crea~ tures. But individually the greater number are Democrats. For this heat, however, they have signified their intention of supporting the whig ticket, in so far as offices for county and State are to be filled. The Presidential vote will, I think, be divided.

CordThe States Prison Contract. If any thing was needed to fill the measure of iniquity that the democratic party in this state has perpetrated, the Tecent state prison swindle has accomplished it. This deed must open the eyes of the people to the enormous guilt . of the rulers of this state. The sum of . ONE MILLION, THIRTY FOUR THOUSAND DOLLARS has the state become liable for, to build a State Prison . —when the sum would build ten prisens. The evuntract must be annulled. Democrats have charged upon whigs a tendency te create debts im the administration of gevernment. What shall we say to this scheme, the results of whieh are, for ne adequate purpose, to launeh us enaseaef debt, in comparison with which our present state debt, though oppressive, is little. : But the vilest feature of this whole affair is that the demecratie party which . rallied inte the last electien with the humbug cry of “vote yourself a firm,” has by itsagents in the state government passed this piisen bill based upon the swamp and overflowed lands ef the state, which were given by congress as fast as reclaimed to the state, for the use of actual claimants and settlers.— The scheme is bata villainous plan to place all these lands into the hands of a few speculating loeofoeos, who have. lived on state plunder since the organization ef the government. The plan is perfectly transparent. By this tremendeus contract—so far exceeding all calsulation, tho state is brought into liability to the contractors, and the swamp lands being pledged by the bill, they mast fall into the hands of the contraetors, and thus at one stroke the state be robbed ef the lands. Again wo say the comtract must be annalicd. A better set of men must be sent to the legislature, men who wil break up this iniquity, and who will not de teols of the clique whe have shus far robbed the state by legal means. Spoak eut, mi. ners, at the polls! Let corruption be} rebuked! Let us open new auspices in the gevernment of the state. The Bugle says: Unless that contract just given out by Bigler & Co., is annulled the people will have te pay a tax for the erection of the en egg of about four dollars per ead for every man, woman and child in the state ineluding Indians, Kana+ kas, and negroes. People of California, is net this a nice and comfortable little sum for you to pay for such a parpose ? Are yeu still ready to justify Bigler and his locofoco friends? Oh! how you did mies it when you elevated to office such leeches as are now sueking the life blood frem the State. Will you repudiate them this fall? We shall see. A Po.troon.—The following is copied by the Union from the Baltimore American, as an offset to repeated and indecent charges of cowardice against Gen. Scott, than whom none braver ever figured on the werld’s stage, The Union says the oflicer spoken of is living in Baltimore who makes the charge, and dares the friends ofGen.Pierce to deny it. He is} said to be Captain McLane, son of Hen. Louis McLane, and brother of Hon. Wm. McLane, member in Cengress from Baltimore, during last Congress. We copy from the Baltimore American. The high character of the . American is an ample guarantee that . no such statement would have appear. ed in its columns, if it were not sup. ported by unquestionable authority : The Old Defender, a spirited com. paign paper, recently started in this . city has the following article in its Saturday issue : Gen. Pierce's Gallantry.--Mr. Edi. tor: Having heard it reported in Bal. timore that a persenal indignity of the . ! . herself credit. father now hold distinguished positions . More Bontixc.—The Cambridge (In-. Pout. Tax.—For the benefit of all . diana) Reville publishes the card of four . parties we eall the attention of those in the Democratic party.” & The captain alluded to, is a resident! persons who huve renounced Locofoce-. not conversant with the law in the matof this city, but will not vete for Frank. lin Pierce. Jf any Democratic journal will de. ny the truth of the above statement, pioof can be furnished to remove the doubts of the most incredulous. If any friend of Gen. Pierce thinks this charge partakes of a personal nature, and is therefore not properly in the canvass, we will ask him which: party commenced personalitics in the campaign. by publishing anew a garbled statement of the private quarrel between Gens. Jackson and Scott ?” The Drama, Mr. Waller and his excellent troupe . have been successfully entertaining our citizens the past week. Several mew, pieces have been breught out, and the . performances generally have been cred. itable to the company and satisfactory to the audiences. We have not had) much leisure to attend, butin the glimp. ses we have obtained, we are convinced . the gemeral apprebation of the public is judieious and merited. On Tuesday . evening we witnessed, for the first time . in this vity, Shakespeare's pliy of “The Merchant of Veniee.” The beautiful poetry and exuberant wit of Shakespeare, render his drimas fascinating even in the eloset on the fiftieth rend. ing. He who loves not Shakespeare has . little claim te intellect. But when the adjuncts of scenery and good acting unite to give life-like distinctucss to the . author's cenceptions, the pleasure derived frem such an entertainment is ex. celled by no other mental e-joyment. . Such was the case on Tuesday evening Mr. Waller, as Shylock was most happy in his character. The mercenary Jew, dignified by a constant, almost sublime hate, ia whose mouth the author put worls of touching oloquence and pathos when alluding to his wrongs, yct who pursued his inveteracy beyond the line of human feeling, till his own ruin is heaped upon him, was all given by Mr. Waller with a vividness that was almest oppressive to the feelings. We believe net a person left the theatre unimpressed with his great powers as an actor. Mrs. Waller,as the gentle Portia, and wise lawyer, gave now evidence ef fine taste and graceful talent. Especially . while deseanting on the bond. and the . inflexible laws of Venice, did she do. The impression she has . made on our citizens is most pleasing. Edwin Booth played Gratiano admirably. Any one seeing him could per. ceive how much a piece may be acted . when no word is spoken. His manners . ism, and have determined to vote for Gen. Scott. The last one on the list sensibly comes to the following conclusion : I have therefore acted with the Demoeratic party; but when I see that party put down such menas Gen. Cass, Buehanan, Douglass, &e.,and take up such as Franklin Piereo, who, in my opinion, is far inferier in every respect, und one who has shown himself to be opposed to Vestern interest by his votes in Congress, . cannet lend my suppodt to such aman. I may here say that quite a number of my Demoeratie friends will . vote with me for Gen. Scott. Davip Carson. Two men were killed in rencontres, in the neighborhoed of Sonora, last week. Neither of their names are . given. ter, to the fact that a payment of any poll tax is not a pre-requisite to voting in this state. No ene sheuld stay from the polls because he has not paid his poll tax. The inspectors cannot reject votes for such reasons. There are certain disabilities connected with a non-payment of poll tax, but loss of suffrage is mnotoneofthem. . Ominovs.—The Pierce and King Club at San Franeisco have split from the . Democratic party and made indepennominations for city and county officers. The address put forth in connection . with the nominations declares the elub jare “chagrined and mortified at the abuse of the party by professional politicians and office hunters.” The same individuals issued a pronunciamiento against the Benicia nominations. They The citizens of Mokelume ITill, and . seem heartily sick of the demagoguism Jackson intend to have a box at their polls on election day, to receive sub . scriptions for the Washington Monument. A vein of coal has been discovered on Clear Creek, near One-UouseTown, ‘Trinity County. The Stockton Journal says, fifty-six hogs, of all sizes sold in that city last week at $1400. Fatal Accident.—A man named . John Lock, who was following the oc. , cupation of teamster, met with a fatal accident on the 17th instant at Daly’s . Five Mile Mouse. Jt appears that his mules ran away with him; they threw him down, the wagon passed over his body, and he was killed intently. —San Joag.

Oh! how you did mies it when you elevated to office such leeches as are now sueking the life blood frem the State. Will you repudiate them this fall? We shall see. A Po.troon.—The following is copied by the Union from the Baltimore American, as an offset to repeated and indecent charges of cowardice against Gen. Scott, than whom none braver ever figured on the werld’s stage, The Union says the oflicer spoken of is living in Baltimore who makes the charge, and dares the friends ofGen.Pierce to deny it. He is} said to be Captain McLane, son of Hen. Louis McLane, and brother of Hon. Wm. McLane, member in Cengress from Baltimore, during last Congress. We copy from the Baltimore American. The high character of the . American is an ample guarantee that . no such statement would have appear. ed in its columns, if it were not sup. ported by unquestionable authority : The Old Defender, a spirited com. paign paper, recently started in this . city has the following article in its Saturday issue : Gen. Pierce's Gallantry.--Mr. Edi. tor: Having heard it reported in Bal. timore that a persenal indignity of the . ! . herself credit. father now hold distinguished positions . More Bontixc.—The Cambridge (In-. Pout.

Jf any Democratic journal will de. ny the truth of the above statement, pioof can be furnished to remove the doubts of the most incredulous. If any friend of Gen. Pierce thinks this charge partakes of a personal nature, and is therefore not properly in the canvass, we will ask him which: party commenced personalitics in the campaign. by publishing anew a garbled statement of the private quarrel between Gens. Jackson and Scott ?” The Drama, Mr. Waller and his excellent troupe . have been successfully entertaining our citizens the past week. Several mew, pieces have been breught out, and the . performances generally have been cred. itable to the company and satisfactory to the audiences. We have not had) much leisure to attend, butin the glimp. ses we have obtained, we are convinced . the gemeral apprebation of the public is judieious and merited. On Tuesday . evening we witnessed, for the first time . in this vity, Shakespeare's pliy of “The Merchant of Veniee.” The beautiful poetry and exuberant wit of Shakespeare, render his drimas fascinating even in the eloset on the fiftieth rend. ing. He who loves not Shakespeare has . little claim te intellect. But when the adjuncts of scenery and good acting unite to give life-like distinctucss to the . author's cenceptions, the pleasure derived frem such an entertainment is ex. celled by no other mental e-joyment. . Such was the case on Tuesday evening Mr. Waller, as Shylock was most happy in his character. The mercenary Jew, dignified by a constant, almost sublime hate, ia whose mouth the author put worls of touching oloquence and pathos when alluding to his wrongs, yct who pursued his inveteracy beyond the

line of human feeling, till his own ruin is heaped upon him, was all given by Mr. Waller with a vividness that was almest oppressive to the feelings. We believe net a person left the theatre unimpressed with his great powers as an actor. Mrs. Waller,as the gentle Portia, and wise lawyer, gave now evidence ef fine taste and graceful talent. Especially . while deseanting on the bond. and the . inflexible laws of Venice, did she do. The impression she has . made on our citizens is most pleasing. Edwin Booth played Gratiano admirably. Any one seeing him could per. ceive how much a piece may be acted . when no word is spoken. His manners . ism, and have determined to vote for Gen. Scott. The last one on the list sensibly comes to the following conclusion : I have therefore acted with the Demoeratic party; but when I see that party put down such menas Gen. Cass, Buehanan, Douglass, &e.,and take up such as Franklin Piereo, who, in my opinion, is far inferier in every respect, und one who has shown himself to be opposed to Vestern interest by his votes in Congress, . cannet lend my suppodt to such aman. I may here say that quite a number of my Demoeratie friends will . vote with me for Gen. Scott. Davip Carson. Two men were killed in rencontres, in the neighborhoed of Sonora, last week. Neither of their names are . given. ter, to the fact that a payment of any poll tax is not a pre-requisite to voting in this state. No ene sheuld stay from the polls because he has not paid his poll tax. The inspectors cannot reject votes for such reasons. There are certain disabilities connected with a non-payment of poll tax, but loss of suffrage is mnotoneofthem. . Ominovs.—The Pierce and King Club at San Franeisco have split from the . Democratic party and made indepennominations for city and county officers. The address put forth in connection . with the nominations declares the elub jare “chagrined and mortified at the abuse of the party by professional politicians and office hunters.” The same individuals issued a pronunciamiento against the Benicia nominations. They The citizens of Mokelume ITill, and . seem heartily sick of the demagoguism Jackson intend to have a box at their polls on election day, to receive sub . scriptions for the Washington Monument. A vein of coal has been discovered on Clear Creek, near One-UouseTown, ‘Trinity County. The Stockton Journal says, fifty-six hogs, of all sizes sold in that city last week at $1400. Fatal Accident.—A man named . John Lock, who was following the oc. , cupation of teamster, met with a fatal accident on the 17th instant at Daly’s . Five Mile Mouse. Jt appears that his mules ran away with him; they threw him down, the wagon passed over his body, and he was killed intently. —San Joag.
