Ping she. it at Sacramento, to for the same. Nevada Quartz Mining Company, On Saturday last, in ¢:mpany with a aumber of residents of the city, we took a walk over to the Ameriean Hill, for the purpose of examining the quartz mill and lead of the Nevada Quartz Mining Company, This company is usually known in Nevada asthe “American’’ Company, from the fact that their mill is located on the hill of that name, The ledge was formerly known as the Banker Hill Lead, and is now worked by means of tunnels run into the hill above the old Bunker Hill mill, One of these tunnels has been ron in slong the ledge for » distance of two thousand feet, and In the lower tannel the ledge has been cut at a depth of two hundred and forty feet below the surface. Under the guidance of Mr. Soggs, the Superintendent of the company, our’ party undertook the task of exploring the long tunnel; bat after getting in about a thousand feet, and examining some of the side-drifts and ‘shoots,’’ the party bad seen enough of the ledge and made tracks for the mouth of the tunnel, The task of exploring ® quartz tunnel two thousand feet in length, is not a very light one to persons unaccustomed te working underground, and then the thought of being two hundred feet below the earth’s surface has a tendency to create rather disagreeable sensations to the nervously inclined. The company have been erushing rock from this ledge since the summer of 1857, and the size of the ledge has continued te increase as they have gone down, while there is no diminution.in the yield of the rock. Near the surface the ledge was from six to eighteen inches in thickness, butata depth of two hundred feet it is seldom less than four and in some plaoes twelve feet thick. At this depth the rook is less decomposed than that taken from near the surface, requiring more care in crushing and extracting the gold; but the richest rock they have crushed was taken froma depth of two hundred feet, where the ledge was eight feet in thickness. This rock was crushed during the past month of January, and paid about seventy dollars a ton, Since the company commenced operations we presume they bave crushed not leas than 6,000 tons of rock from their own ledge, which has paid all the way from five to seventy dollarsa ton. They have been at an immense expense in running tunnels, but the ledge is now opened in such a manner that 6,000 or 8,000 tons more ean be taken out at a comparatively small cost. Mr, Soggs informe us that the company design removing the machinery of their mill to the old Bunker Hill mill, and ran it by water power instead of a steam engine, By this means they will save at least a thousand dollars @ month in running expenses, Duara or A Painter.—We are under the painful necessity of recording the death of an old and valued friend, John DeMott, a printer by profession, who died at Oroville on Wednesday last of consumption, We became acquainted with DeMott in the fall of 1850, while at work in the same office at Sacramento. For many months we were on terms of olosest intimacy, ad have never known a truer or more unselfish friend, He went to Marysville in the summer of 1851, and for some years was connected, as printer and proprietor, with the papers of that city, and since 1856 has been connected with his brother-in-law, Geo. H. Crossette, in the publication of the Butte Reeord, at Oroville. He was a good and true man, of kind and generous impulses, and most beloved by those who knew him best. Nevapa Roap Law.—Mr, Chase has Intro; duced a bill into the Senate, repealing the special act passed last winter, concerning roads and highways in Nevada county. Tho bill has already passed the Senate and we trust it will pass the Assembly without delay, as the act of Inst winter takes effect on the first Monday of this month. When the special net was passed last winter, we expressed the opinion that it would be foun? impracticable to carry out the provisions of the law in the manner contemplated. Wo believe tho general road law of the State might be groatly simplified and improved, and whatever would be found advantageous to the other counties would be equally advantageous to Nevada. Witt oF Senator Broparrox.—Advices have been received by the Sonora, to the effect that the will of the late Senator Broderick, reeently found at Washington, bequeaths $10,000 to Joho R. McGlynn, of San Francisco, and the residue of his estate to John Wilkes, of Now York, A.J. Butler is named in the will as executor, A VacLuasin Mapicrng.—We oall attention to the advertisement of Dr. Jas. R. Boyce, druggist, of Sacramento, ‘‘Rowler’s Infallible Rheumatism Medicino,’’ is recommended as @ Valuable preparation for the permanent cure of all theumatic complaints. It ia prepared by Dr. Boyoe, at Sacramento, and for sale at the drug store of Rudolph & Hunt, Nevada, Lroistative Documunts. —Senators Chase, Ballou, and Kirkpatrick, and Assemblymen Smith, O'Connor, and Curtis, have our thanks for legislative documents, ATLANTIO Parurs.—We are indebted to J. B. Hamlin, of Broad Street Book Store, for late Eastern papers, received by the Sonora, ARRIVAL OF THe Mai. Sreamer.—The. mail steamer Orizaba, arrived at the Bay, from Panama, on Monday. Lagisuatiyz.—A dispatch from Sacramento, dated yesterday afternoon, states that the contested election case of Gallagher vs. Tilton, was being argued before the Assembly, by the counsel of the contestants. Nothing of importance transpired in the Senate. MINING AccIDENT.—Mr, A. B. 'Gitchell had a leg broken, at Alpha, on Saturday last, while at Fork in aimining claim, by the bank caving upon oo the at helip om Mr. @wina, of Yolo county, has introduced bill in oy elsole af i of the ¢ f the State. If the provisions ave been correctly reported, it isa barefaced attempt to deplete the State Treasury, of from $100,000 to $200,000. It authorizesthe Governor to appoint census marshals for each county in the State, who are to receive ten dollars a day eaeb, for their services, An indefinite number of deputy marsbals are also to be appointed, each of whom is to receive six dollars aday. The taking of the censas in this manner would cost the State not less than $100,000, and would be so much money squandered, as the returns would be of no earthly use, The advocates of Mr. Gwin’s bill contend that ‘the compensation usually allowed the marshals by Congress is not sufficient to properly remunerate those officers in California; ¢onsequently, unless some special’ provision is made, the census will not.be more than half taken, and the State will lose one or more Representatives in Congress, Admitting the argument to be correct, the passage of Mr. Gwinn’s bill would not help the case a particle, for the apportion‘ment, both for members of Congress and the State Legislature, must be made under the census taken by the general government, It has been suggested in some quarters, that the Legislature should make an appropriation, allowing some additional eompensation to the census marshals in this State, and if there was any truth in the assertion #0 frequently made, that the amount allowed by Congress is insufficient to insure a correct census being taken, such an appropriation might not be amiss, But we believe there will be no difficulty in finding reliable and competent men to do the work at the rates now fixed by law. One man ean take the census of Nevada county, and make out all the returns, in five months. For this work he would receive about $1,500; and we have no hesitation in saying that there are a hundred men in the county, in every way qualified, who would undertake and carry through the work for that amount of money. In the sparsely settled portions of the State, the census takers will perbaps not be able to make more than ordinary wages during the time they are employed at the work, but even at that rate, there will be ten applicants for every place. The interests of the State require that the census to bo taken this year, should be complete and correct in all its details. But the duty devolves upon Congress of making the necessary arrangements for that purpose; and should special "provision be needed for this State, we have no doubt that our Representatives in Congress will make the want known, for they have never been accused of too much modesty in asking for liberal appropriations, particularly when the money was to go into the pockets of tho federal officers upon this coast. Somoor, Lanps.—A bill has been introduced into the Senato, by Mr, Ballou, of Plumas, providing for the sale of the school lands of this State, It authorizes the Sheriffs of the several counties, after giving preper notice, tu sell at auction the sixteenth and thirty-sixth sections in each township, in tracts of not lesa than forty nor over one hundred and sixty acres, and for not less than two dollars an acre. The proceeds of these sales are to bo consolidated into a general fund, which is to be invested in State bonds, and the interest to be divided semi-annaally among the several school districts in proportion to the number of sehool ohildren in each, The system of consolidating the school fund, wo believe to be a good ene, as it can thus be {managed to much better advantage. But the people of the agrioultural counties will undoubtedly object to this plan, for the reason that the mineral lands have never been and are not likely to be brought into market, and the State cannot as yet give any title to the sohool lands in the mining countice, There is, however, in every mining county, moro or less agricultural and timbered land, and we know of no valid reason why this: land should not be segregated from the mineral lands proper, and sold by the government, Tho township lines have already been ran in most of the mining counties, If proper persons were appointed to seotionize these townships—loeal surveyors and practical miners—they might select large quantities of land, valuable for the timber and for agricultural purposes, but useless for mining, which might be sold. The people of the mining counties are almost unanimously opposed to the sale of the mineral lands, but there can be no reasonable objection to selling all the lands which are known not to contain mineral. It would be much better for the counties, too, if these lands were sold, for it would add greatly to'the taxable property. Tuosu Inon Minus.—The Hydraulic Press, in alluding to the iron mines lately discovered on the railroad survey, noticed in our last issue, says: If they really exist the fact is immensely imrtant, net only to the prospects of the read t to the interests of the whole State. Should any of the various ood! discovesies that have been made in the ymining counties amount to anything extensive, these iron beds would become most prolific sources of wealth, and wealth of a permanent home-abiding character. Several cote ago it was announced that an Auburn blacksmith was manufacturing native iron which he prooured a few miles from that ro The matter is worthy special investigation. In regard to the iron mine, discovered some years ago near Auburn, we are informed that the discoverer still holds the claim and is satisfied that ii will eventually be of immense value. Tron is the most useful but cheapest of metals, and a good iron mine, if well located for working is worth more than a gold mine. There is no doubt that iron ore exists in considerable quantities on the line of the railroad survey, in this county, but in consequence of the high rates of transportation, the mines will never be of much value until the railroad is built, Tux Busia Burstep,—The Santa Rosa Democrat, of Jan. 26th, says that Messrs. Coulter and Munny had returned to that place, bringing the result of two assays of the ore from the St. Helen mines. The specimens assayed were taden from six different localities, and contained neither gold nor silver, We shall probably hear no more of the St, Helen silver mines, Susrgnpep.—The publication of the Placerville Observer is to be suspended for a time, after the 4th inst.

Ep. Dumocrat:—The joint committee of the . Rolf and bis two men bad been engaged in cuttwo houses, appointed to investigate the affairs of . ting hay under a contract to supply the ger: our State Prison, have finished their labors, and. ernment station; the Indians had been working part of them, returned to this city last evening—. on the rancb, and were encamped about three They will probably make their report this week, and . hundred yards from the house. The attacking from what I have heard it will be arlything but complimentary to the managers of that institution. The ittee made a thorough examination, and are fully convineed that the present mode of conducting the prison is the worst that can be conceived, and they accordingly will advise that the State take the management into its own hands for the present, or until such action can be had as will insure a remedy for the multitude of evils at present existing there. They have made proposals to Mr. McCauley, the present lessee, and will await his decision; should he fail to comply, however, the Legislature will take immediate steps to put the State in possession. A joint committee from the Senate and House left yesterday for Stockton, where they go to look at the Insane Asylum. This action is not taken merely for the purpose of inquiring into the practicability of certain proposed improvements, and take measures to further supply the wants which the rapidly increasing cases of insanity seem to demand. There are now some six hundred inmates there, and that number is being increased with frightful rapidity, and should this state of things continue, additions will have to be made to the buildings, or a branch established at some convenient point. We shall await with some anxiety the report of the committee, The proposed division of the State is becoming a matter somewhat serious. The subject was referred to the Committee on Federal Relations, during the first week of the session, who have reported in favor of a division; four of the committee, however, protesting very decidedly against the measure. They say: “Looking abroad a little, outside our immediate State territory, we will preceive an objection to this segregation, at the present time and in the present condition of public feeling, far more serious than any yet enumerated. ‘The battle field of Kansas has hard iy = been owe over, and the animosities and asperities enkindled there will be the fruitful subject of another, and perhaps more serious contest, if another battle ground shall be soon presented. The civil discord which now trammels Congress and threatens our Federal Union, had its origin in questions frowns out of our territorial organizations; and California, coounyine a position so eminently conservative, should be the last to offer another oo for the enactment of new Kansas difficulties. The territorial question has become already a perfect “Pandora’s box,” from . which spring all imaginable evils and danger to the peace and harmony of our country. Unless then, the right is clear—unless the power to divide this State in the manner Preveee is, beyond all doubt, constitutional, soun pelier would seem to dictate that we,should avoid the difficulties consequent upon the act at all hazards.” There has been considerable discussion in the House over the matter, and it was finally made the special order for February 2d, in order that Senator Latham may be enabled to take with him to Washington an expression of the opinion of the Legislature upon this question. Yesterday the Senate resolution to appoint a special Capital Committee, whose duty it should be to . enquire into the propriety of removing the State Capital, and furnish a proper place to locate the same, came up in the Senate, when along debate ensued. A motfon was made to indefinitely postpone the whole iatter which was lost. It was finally made the special order for Tuesday week. The Judiciary Committee of both Houses yesterday made a lengthy report, in which they advised that the sureties of Henry Bates, late State Treasurer, be released. This will probably be the last . that is heard of the $124,000 which the people, or a few of them, of Placer county, said that Bates and Rowe did not steal, and which confined Mr. Rowe for a year on the prison brig for his refusal to tell . what disposition had been made of it. Pretty well . paid, you will say, for one year’s confinement, when, it is reported, he revelled in all the luxuries of life. Thus all the old landmarks pass away. In the Assembly a resolution was adopted asking the Federal Government to donate to the State 20,000 stand of arms, four batteries of light and four batteries of heavy artillery, with the necessary ammunition. The Senate chamber was crowded yesterday, during the time that body was in session, by ladies and . other spectators, to hear Senator Watson make a speech on the proposition to repeal the present homestead law and provide one to operate in its place. The speech is understood not to come up to the general expectation, accordingly very little is said about it. The Southern Overland Telegraph Co. have finished their line to Fresno City, 20 miles east of Firebaugh’s Ferry, and are rapidly extending it on to connect with our friends on the Atlantic. The energy displayed by this Company is deserving of all praise. They expect to have the line completed to . § Fort Smith, Ark., by next winter. Anderson, the ‘Wizzard of the North,” has been filling the “Metropolitan” for the past week, and will remain here a week longer. He makes a great blow over his “wonderful tricks,” but I must confess that I am not susceptable to anything he does so very extraordinary, and regard him in the light of a “pretty considerable” humbug. We are a gulwith regard to any mismanagement there, but . party surrounded the camp during the night, and the attack was made about daylight. The party rushed upon the Indians, blowing out their brains aod splitting open their skullé with tomabawks. Little children, in baskets, and even babes, had their heads smashed to pieces or eutopen. Mothere and infants sbared the common fate. the victims were frightful to bear, but no supplications could avail to avert the work of devilish butehery. It will scarcely be credited that . this horrible scene occurred in Christian Cali. fornia—within a few days’ travel from the State . Capital. Humanity sickens at the thought. Many of the fugitives were chased and shot as they ran. Where whole families had been butehered, was indicated by beaps of bodies composed of the mother and her little ones. The children, scarcely able to run, toddled toward the squaws for protection, crying with fright, but were overtaken and slaughtered like wild animals, aud threwn into piles, From under the baycocks, where some of them had taken refuge, they were dragged out and slain. One woman got into a pond hole, where she hid herself under the grass, with her head above water, and concealed her pappoose on the bank in a basket. She was discovered, and her head blown to pieces—the muzzle of the gun being placed against her skull, and the child was drowned in the pond, The groynd was covered with blood, and the brushwood ranches, of . whieh there were fifty or sixty, were filled with . the dead bodies. Old decrepid squaws, young . girls and intants, none were spared. Guns, kuives and batchets were used, but the favorite method appears to bave been staving in the /bead with tomahawks, The blush of dawn shone upon this fearful spectacle, and still the . massacre went on. . When the slaughter was over, the shambles . were examined, and more than sixty squaws and children, and ten Indian men, were found . dead on the field. The murderers then return. . ed to Rolf’s house, and remained there a week . . within a few hundred yards of the charnel house, upon whieh the corpses were allowed to fester and rot in the blaze of day. After the last squaw and child had been killed the brushwood ranches or huts were set on fire and the bodies burnt. The smell of burn-. ing flesh, the crackling of the flames, and the black smoke soaring up, was the closing scene . of this tragedy, of which we cannot recall any . parallel in our country’s annals, . . . House Stitt, UNorGanizep.—T he Sacramento . Union, of Monday, has dispatches, containing . the proceedings of Congress up to the 5th of . January. A ballot for Speaker was taken that day, with the usual result—Sherman lacking three votes of a majority. Itis stated that Sherman can have another vote atany time that it will secure his election; but to all appearances, judging from the ballots, there was . little prospect of a speedy organization. Some of the Washington letter writers assert that . there,is a determination on the part of many of the members to pnt off the organization until after the meeting of the Charleston Convention, which will be held on the 23d of April next. BATTLE BETWREN TIIk SPANIARDS AND Moors.— From a dispatch in the Union, it appears that a sanguinary battle has been fought between the Moors and Spaniards at Centa, in Morocco, Fifteen thousand Moors attacked the right wing of the Spanish army, but were driven back at the point of the bayonet, with the loss of fifteen hundred men. The Spanish loss is reported at forty killed, and one hundred and twenty-six wounded. The date when the battle was fought is not given. Disunton.—There is altogether too much said and written about disunion. If people would only let the subject alone, there could be no disunion; but, by their everlasting babble, they are foolishly playing into the hands of fanatics, whose whole capital consists in keeping up the excitement. The American people have not all gone mad yet, and there is conservative wis. dom enough left in the land to preserve and keep saered our beloved Union, despite the insane folly of addle-headed mouthers, or the criminal designs of political traitors. It isconstructive treason to even discuss the possibility of disunion. Let it alone.—S. ¥. Herald, BIRTH, In this city, Jan. Sst, the wife of C. Wilson Hill, Esq., ofa daughter, DIED.

Lats DIscoveRtEs IN CARSON VALLEY.—The Placerville Observer learns from some gentlemen lately from Carson Valley, that several quartz veins, bearing gold and silver, have lately been discovered to the east and north-east of Genoa, One in particular, the Pine Nut vein, is of unequaled richness at its croppings. A quantity had been reduced, and paid at the rate of $600 in silver, and $200 in gold, to the ton of rock. Quite an excitement prevails at Genoa at present, in consequence of the exhibition of rich specimens of gold bearing quartz, found by an individual who refuses to divulge the locality of the vein from which it was taken, until the arrival of his friends for whom he reserves so much of the ledge as ay can ones under the local taws. There are now five or six distinct veins near Genoa known to contain gold and silver, besides those in the vicinity of Virgin is, City, ‘Down. ReProrteD Qvicksiiver Discovery.—In regard to the reported discovery of a vein of cinnabar, near Sweetland, the Hydraulic Press of Saturday says: We have visited the ledge of rock, near this place, which was last week reported to contain cinnabar, but could discover no positive traces of that mineral, though there is abundance of a red, ferruginous rock somewhat resembling it in external characteristics. The wall of quartz in which this red rock lies contains iron pyrities and doubtless gold in sufficient uantities to warrant a thorough test of its value. ourteen claims, of one hundred feet each, have been taken up in a body on the ledge, which is very wide and might be traced for a mile or more. Three of the claimants rejoice in the name of Broderick. We do not know if they expect a share in the deceased Senator's estate. —A SD VISITORS TO OUR CITY.

Nevada Quartz Mining Company, On Saturday last, in ¢:mpany with a aumber of residents of the city, we took a walk over to the Ameriean Hill, for the purpose of examining the quartz mill and lead of the Nevada Quartz Mining Company, This company is usually known in Nevada asthe “American’’ Company, from the fact that their mill is located on the hill of that name, The ledge was formerly known as the Banker Hill Lead, and is now worked by means of tunnels run into the hill above the old Bunker Hill mill, One of these tunnels has been ron in slong the ledge for » distance of two thousand feet, and In the lower tannel the ledge has been cut at a depth of two hundred and forty feet below the surface. Under the guidance of Mr. Soggs, the Superintendent of the company, our’ party undertook the task of exploring the long tunnel; bat after getting in about a thousand feet, and examining some of the side-drifts and ‘shoots,’’ the party bad seen enough of the ledge and made tracks for the mouth of the tunnel, The task of exploring ® quartz tunnel two thousand feet in length, is not a very light one to persons unaccustomed te working underground, and then the thought of being two hundred feet below the earth’s surface has a tendency to create rather disagreeable sensations to the nervously inclined. The company have been erushing rock from this ledge since the summer of 1857, and the size of the ledge has continued te increase as they have gone down, while there is no diminution.in the yield of the rock. Near the surface the ledge was from six to eighteen inches in thickness, butata depth of two hundred feet it is seldom less than four and in some plaoes twelve feet thick. At this depth the rook is less decomposed than that taken from near the surface, requiring more care in crushing and extracting the gold; but the richest rock they have crushed was taken froma depth of two hundred feet, where the ledge was eight feet in thickness. This rock was crushed during the past month of January, and paid about seventy dollars a ton, Since the company commenced operations we presume they bave crushed not leas than 6,000 tons of rock from their own ledge, which has paid all the way from five to seventy dollarsa ton. They have been at an immense expense in running tunnels, but the ledge is now opened in such a manner that 6,000 or 8,000 tons more ean be taken out at a comparatively small cost. Mr, Soggs informe us that the company design removing the machinery of their mill to the old Bunker Hill mill, and ran it by water power instead of a steam engine, By this means they will save at least a thousand dollars @ month in running expenses, Duara or A Painter.—We are under the painful necessity of recording the death of an old and valued friend, John DeMott, a printer by profession, who died at Oroville on Wednesday last of consumption, We became acquainted with DeMott in the fall of 1850, while at work in the same office at Sacramento. For many months we were on terms of olosest intimacy, ad have never known a truer or more unselfish friend, He went to Marysville in the summer of 1851, and for some years was connected, as printer and proprietor, with the papers of that city, and since 1856 has been connected with his brother-in-law, Geo. H. Crossette, in the publication of the Butte Reeord, at Oroville. He was a good and true man, of kind and generous impulses, and most beloved by those who knew him best. Nevapa Roap Law.—Mr, Chase has Intro; duced a bill into the Senate, repealing the special act passed last winter, concerning roads and highways in Nevada county. Tho bill has already passed the Senate and we trust it will pass the Assembly without delay, as the act of Inst winter takes effect on the first Monday of this month. When the special net was passed last winter, we expressed the opinion that it would be foun? impracticable to carry out the provisions of the law in the manner contemplated. Wo believe tho general road law of the State might be groatly simplified and improved, and whatever would be found advantageous to the other counties would be equally advantageous to Nevada. Witt oF Senator Broparrox.—Advices have been received by the Sonora, to the effect that the will of the late Senator Broderick, reeently found at Washington, bequeaths $10,000 to Joho R. McGlynn, of San Francisco, and the residue of his estate to John Wilkes, of Now York, A.J. Butler is named in the will as executor, A VacLuasin Mapicrng.—We oall attention to the advertisement of Dr. Jas. R.

Lagisuatiyz.—A dispatch from Sacramento, dated yesterday afternoon, states that the contested election case of Gallagher vs. Tilton, was being argued before the Assembly, by the counsel of the contestants. Nothing of importance transpired in the Senate. MINING AccIDENT.—Mr, A. B. 'Gitchell had a leg broken, at Alpha, on Saturday last, while at Fork in aimining claim, by the bank caving upon oo the at helip om Mr. @wina, of Yolo county, has introduced bill in oy elsole af i of the ¢ f the State. If the provisions ave been correctly reported, it isa barefaced attempt to deplete the State Treasury, of from $100,000 to $200,000. It authorizesthe Governor to appoint census marshals for each county in the State, who are to receive ten dollars a day eaeb, for their services, An indefinite number of deputy marsbals are also to be appointed, each of whom is to receive six dollars aday. The taking of the censas in this manner would cost the State not less than $100,000, and would be so much money squandered, as the returns would be of no earthly use, The advocates of Mr. Gwin’s bill contend that ‘the compensation usually allowed the marshals by Congress is not sufficient to properly remunerate those officers in California; ¢onsequently, unless some special’ provision is made, the census will not.be more than half taken, and the State will lose one or more Representatives in Congress, Admitting the argument to be correct, the passage of Mr. Gwinn’s bill would not help the case a particle, for the apportion‘ment, both for members of Congress and the State Legislature, must be made under the census taken by the general government, It has been suggested in some quarters, that the Legislature should make an appropriation, allowing some additional eompensation to the census marshals in this State, and if there was any truth in the assertion #0 frequently made, that the amount allowed by Congress is insufficient to insure a correct census being taken, such an appropriation might not be amiss, But we believe there will be no difficulty in finding reliable and competent men to do the work at the rates now fixed by law. One man ean take the census of Nevada county, and make out all the returns, in five months. For this work he would receive about $1,500; and we have no hesitation in saying that there are a hundred men in the county, in every way qualified, who would undertake and carry through the work for that amount of money. In the sparsely settled portions of the State, the census takers will perbaps not be able to make more than ordinary wages during the time they are employed at the work, but even at that rate, there will be ten applicants for every place. The interests of the State require that the census to bo taken this year, should be complete and correct in all its details. But the duty devolves upon Congress of making the necessary arrangements for that purpose; and should special "provision be needed for this State, we have no doubt that our Representatives in Congress will make the want known, for they have never been accused of too much modesty in asking for liberal appropriations, particularly when the money was to go into the pockets of tho federal officers upon this coast. Somoor, Lanps.—A bill has been introduced into the Senato, by Mr, Ballou, of Plumas, providing for the sale of the school lands of this State, It authorizes the Sheriffs of the several counties, after giving preper notice, tu sell at auction the sixteenth and thirty-sixth sections in each township, in tracts of not lesa than forty nor over one hundred and sixty acres, and for not less than two dollars an acre. The proceeds of these sales are to bo consolidated into a general fund, which is to be invested in State bonds, and the interest to be divided semi-annaally among the several school districts in proportion to the number of sehool ohildren in each, The system of consolidating the school fund, wo believe to be a good ene, as it can thus be {managed to much better advantage. But the people of the agrioultural counties will undoubtedly object to this plan, for the reason that the mineral lands have never been and are not likely to be brought into market, and the State cannot as yet give any title to the sohool lands in the mining countice, There is, however, in every mining county, moro or less agricultural and timbered land, and we know of no valid reason why this: land should not be segregated from the mineral lands proper, and sold by the government, Tho township lines have already been ran in most of the mining counties, If proper persons were appointed to seotionize these townships—loeal surveyors and practical miners—they might select large quantities of land, valuable for the timber and for agricultural purposes, but useless for mining, which might be sold. The people of the mining counties are almost unanimously opposed to the sale of the mineral lands, but there can be no reasonable objection to selling all the lands which are known not to contain mineral. It would be much better for the counties, too, if these lands were sold, for it would add greatly to'the taxable property. Tuosu Inon Minus.—The Hydraulic Press, in alluding to the iron mines lately discovered on the railroad survey, noticed in our last issue, says: If they really exist the fact is immensely imrtant, net only to the prospects of the read t to the interests of the whole State. Should any of the various ood! discovesies that have been made in the ymining counties amount to anything extensive, these iron beds would become most prolific sources of wealth, and wealth of a permanent home-abiding character. Several cote ago it was announced that an Auburn blacksmith was manufacturing native iron which he prooured a few miles from that ro The matter is worthy special investigation. In regard to the iron mine, discovered some years ago near Auburn, we are informed that the discoverer still holds the claim and is satisfied that ii will eventually be of immense value. Tron is the most useful but cheapest of metals, and a good iron mine, if well located for working is worth more than a gold mine. There is no doubt that iron ore exists in considerable quantities on the line of the railroad survey, in this county, but in consequence of the high rates of transportation, the mines will never be of much value until the railroad is built, Tux Busia Burstep,—The Santa Rosa Democrat, of Jan. 26th, says that Messrs. Coulter and Munny had returned to that place, bringing the result of two assays of the ore from the St. Helen mines. The specimens assayed were taden from six different localities, and contained neither gold nor silver, We shall probably hear no more of the St, Helen silver mines, Susrgnpep.—The publication of the Placerville Observer is to be suspended for a time, after the 4th inst.

The attacking from what I have heard it will be arlything but complimentary to the managers of that institution. The ittee made a thorough examination, and are fully convineed that the present mode of conducting the prison is the worst that can be conceived, and they accordingly will advise that the State take the management into its own hands for the present, or until such action can be had as will insure a remedy for the multitude of evils at present existing there. They have made proposals to Mr. McCauley, the present lessee, and will await his decision; should he fail to comply, however, the Legislature will take immediate steps to put the State in possession. A joint committee from the Senate and House left yesterday for Stockton, where they go to look at the Insane Asylum. This action is not taken merely for the purpose of inquiring into the practicability of certain proposed improvements, and take measures to further supply the wants which the rapidly increasing cases of insanity seem to demand. There are now some six hundred inmates there, and that number is being increased with frightful rapidity, and should this state of things continue, additions will have to be made to the buildings, or a branch established at some convenient point. We shall await with some anxiety the report of the committee, The proposed division of the State is becoming a matter somewhat serious. The subject was referred to the Committee on Federal Relations, during the first week of the session, who have reported in favor of a division; four of the committee, however, protesting very decidedly against the measure. They say: “Looking abroad a little, outside our immediate State territory, we will preceive an objection to this segregation, at the present time and in the present condition of public feeling, far more serious than any yet enumerated. ‘The battle field of Kansas has hard iy = been owe over, and the animosities and asperities enkindled there will be the fruitful subject of another, and perhaps more serious contest, if another battle ground shall be soon presented. The civil discord which now trammels Congress and threatens our Federal Union, had its origin in questions frowns out of our territorial organizations; and California, coounyine a position so eminently conservative, should be the last to offer another oo for the enactment of new Kansas difficulties. The territorial question has become already a perfect “Pandora’s box,” from . which spring all imaginable evils and danger to the peace and harmony of our country. Unless then, the right is clear—unless the power to divide this State in the manner Preveee is, beyond all doubt, constitutional, soun pelier would seem to dictate that we,should avoid the difficulties consequent upon the act at all hazards.” There has been considerable discussion in the House over the matter, and it was finally made the special order for February 2d, in order that Senator Latham may be enabled to take with him to Washington an expression of the opinion of the Legislature upon this question. Yesterday the Senate resolution to appoint a special Capital Committee, whose duty it should be to . enquire into the propriety of removing the State Capital, and furnish a proper place to locate the same, came up in the Senate, when along debate ensued. A motfon was made to indefinitely postpone the whole iatter which was lost. It was finally made the special order for Tuesday week. The Judiciary Committee of both Houses yesterday made a lengthy report, in which they advised that the sureties of Henry Bates, late State Treasurer, be released. This will probably be the last . that is heard of the $124,000 which the people, or a few of them, of Placer county, said that Bates and Rowe did not steal, and which confined Mr. Rowe for a year on the prison brig for his refusal to tell . what disposition had been made of it. Pretty well . paid, you will say, for one year’s confinement, when, it is reported, he revelled in all the luxuries of life. Thus all the old landmarks pass away. In the Assembly a resolution was adopted asking the Federal Government to donate to the State 20,000 stand of arms, four batteries of light and four batteries of heavy artillery, with the necessary ammunition. The Senate chamber was crowded yesterday, during the time that body was in session, by ladies and . other spectators, to hear Senator Watson make a speech on the proposition to repeal the present homestead law and provide one to operate in its place. The speech is understood not to come up to the general expectation, accordingly very little is said about it. The Southern Overland Telegraph Co. have finished their line to Fresno City, 20 miles east of Firebaugh’s Ferry, and are rapidly extending it on to connect with our friends on the Atlantic.

Anderson, the ‘Wizzard of the North,” has been filling the “Metropolitan” for the past week, and will remain here a week longer.

We are a gulwith regard to any mismanagement there, but . party surrounded the camp during the night, and the attack was made about daylight. The party rushed upon the Indians, blowing out their brains aod splitting open their skullé with tomabawks. Little children, in baskets, and even babes, had their heads smashed to pieces or eutopen. Mothere and infants sbared the common fate. the victims were frightful to bear, but no supplications could avail to avert the work of devilish butehery. It will scarcely be credited that . this horrible scene occurred in Christian Cali. fornia—within a few days’ travel from the State . Capital. Humanity sickens at the thought. Many of the fugitives were chased and shot as they ran. Where whole families had been butehered, was indicated by beaps of bodies composed of the mother and her little ones. The children, scarcely able to run, toddled toward the squaws for protection, crying with fright, but were overtaken and slaughtered like wild animals, aud threwn into piles, From under the baycocks, where some of them had taken refuge, they were dragged out and slain. One woman got into a pond hole, where she hid herself under the grass, with her head above water, and concealed her pappoose on the bank in a basket. She was discovered, and her head blown to pieces—the muzzle of the gun being placed against her skull, and the child was drowned in the pond, The groynd was covered with blood, and the brushwood ranches, of . whieh there were fifty or sixty, were filled with . the dead bodies. Old decrepid squaws, young . girls and intants, none were spared. Guns, kuives and batchets were used, but the favorite method appears to bave been staving in the /bead with tomahawks, The blush of dawn shone upon this fearful spectacle, and still the . massacre went on. . When the slaughter was over, the shambles . were examined, and more than sixty squaws and children, and ten Indian men, were found . dead on the field. The murderers then return. . ed to Rolf’s house, and remained there a week . . within a few hundred yards of the charnel house, upon whieh the corpses were allowed to fester and rot in the blaze of day. After the last squaw and child had been killed the brushwood ranches or huts were set on fire and the bodies burnt. The smell of burn-. ing flesh, the crackling of the flames, and the black smoke soaring up, was the closing scene . of this tragedy, of which we cannot recall any . parallel in our country’s annals, . . . House Stitt, UNorGanizep.—T he Sacramento . Union, of Monday, has dispatches, containing . the proceedings of Congress up to the 5th of . January. A ballot for Speaker was taken that day, with the usual result—Sherman lacking three votes of a majority. Itis stated that Sherman can have another vote atany time that it will secure his election; but to all appearances, judging from the ballots, there was . little prospect of a speedy organization. Some of the Washington letter writers assert that . there,is a determination on the part of many of the members to pnt off the organization until after the meeting of the Charleston Convention, which will be held on the 23d of April next. BATTLE BETWREN TIIk SPANIARDS AND Moors.— From a dispatch in the Union, it appears that a sanguinary battle has been fought between the Moors and Spaniards at Centa, in Morocco, Fifteen thousand Moors attacked the right wing of the Spanish army, but were driven back at the point of the bayonet, with the loss of fifteen hundred men. The Spanish loss is reported at forty killed, and one hundred and twenty-six wounded. The date when the battle was fought is not given.

Disunton.—There is altogether too much said and written about disunion. If people would only let the subject alone, there could be no disunion; but, by their everlasting babble, they are foolishly playing into the hands of fanatics, whose whole capital consists in keeping up the excitement. The American people have not all gone mad yet, and there is conservative wis. dom enough left in the land to preserve and keep saered our beloved Union, despite the insane folly of addle-headed mouthers, or the criminal designs of political traitors. It isconstructive treason to even discuss the possibility of disunion. Let it alone.—S. ¥. Herald, BIRTH, In this city, Jan. Sst, the wife of C. Wilson Hill, Esq., ofa daughter, DIED.

Lats DIscoveRtEs IN CARSON VALLEY.—The Placerville Observer learns from some gentlemen lately from Carson Valley, that several quartz veins, bearing gold and silver, have lately been discovered to the east and north-east of Genoa, One in particular, the Pine Nut vein, is of unequaled richness at its croppings. A quantity had been reduced, and paid at the rate of $600 in silver, and $200 in gold, to the ton of rock. Quite an excitement prevails at Genoa at present, in consequence of the exhibition of rich specimens of gold bearing quartz, found by an individual who refuses to divulge the locality of the vein from which it was taken, until the arrival of his friends for whom he reserves so much of the ledge as ay can ones under the local taws. There are now five or six distinct veins near Genoa known to contain gold and silver, besides those in the vicinity of Virgin is, City, ‘Down. ReProrteD Qvicksiiver Discovery.—In regard to the reported discovery of a vein of cinnabar, near Sweetland, the Hydraulic Press of Saturday says: We have visited the ledge of rock, near this place, which was last week reported to contain cinnabar, but could discover no positive traces of that mineral, though there is abundance of a red, ferruginous rock somewhat resembling it in external characteristics. The wall of quartz in which this red rock lies contains iron pyrities and doubtless gold in sufficient uantities to warrant a thorough test of its value. ourteen claims, of one hundred feet each, have been taken up in a body on the ledge, which is very wide and might be traced for a mile or more. Three of the claimants rejoice in the name of Broderick. We do not know if they expect a share in the deceased Senator's estate. —A SD VISITORS TO OUR CITY.
