How tue Goip Fever 1s Novrisuep.—A correspondent of the Pacific, writing from Jackson,
a prosperous mining locality near Sutter, very
truthfully exposes the origin of the impression
. so generally entertained in the Atlantic States
in regard to the productiveness of the mines.
Speaking of a quartz mill near Jackson, which
. has netted fair returns to its proprietors he
. says:
“We might mention vast receipts after the
. manner of some, but though true in themselves,
. yet they would convey a very false impression
abroad. As an example, in the lead connected
with this mill by one blast, rock of such richness was thrown out that three thousand dollars
. were extracted from itinaday and a half of
labor. But the real facts are, that the lead is
. one of only moderate richness, while once in
some length of time, a kind of pocket is struck
in itof vast richness. Three times only for
now about three years have such pockets heen

Gold Discovered in the Mexican Cordilleras.
A late arrival from Mazatlan confirms the
report that rich gold placers have been discovered in the mountains immediately east of Mazatlan. These mountains are of the Great Chain
or “Back Bune” that extends along this entire
continent from vorth to south. They connect
the Andes with the Rocky Mountains. The
foot hills east of Mazatlan are in form, very
much like the foot bills of our own Sierras, and
are distant from the coast some twenty or thirty
miles. In breadth they are more than twice as
extensive as the gold mountains of California,
and if they prove to be only agrich, half the
population of the world might make a fair living on them for centuries to come. Indeed, it
isnot improbable that there is more or less
gold in this entire chain, throughout both North
and South America.
If further advices shall confirm the richness
of these mines, and indicate that they cover a
, swered the bell and admitted us within the en-. large surface, emigration—Anglo Saxon emigration, will pour into that delightful climate,
and soon outnumber the native population.
Then Mexico will indeed be revolutionized.
. New Governments will be erected and the
northern States of that Military and Priest ridden Republic will be added one by one—peaceably and without purchase, to the North American Union. The single fact of rich gold placers existing there, would do more to Amerize Mexico in twelve months, than could be
.
. Tur Unpar Interest Money.—We have fre. quently been asked of late whether an effort
has been made to recover the sum of $124,000
that was given to E. A. Rowe and the Pacific
Express Coinpany to pay the July, 1857, interest,
due in New York, and which amount Mr. Rowe,
of course, did not pay. Upon inquiring, we
learn that on the 3lst day of July last, District
Attorney Hereford brought suit in the Sixth
District Court in the name of Henry Bates, late
State Treasurer, against the Pacific Express, E.
A. Rowe, President and Agent, D. Brigham, Jr.,
Charles C. Bowman, James G. Stebbins, Solomon
Heydenfeldt, James Haworth, A. G. Richardson
and Archibald Woods, to recover the sum of
$124,000, with interest from July Ist, 1857.
The parties mentioned in the suit other than E.
A. Rowe, are the signers of the bond given by
Rowe to Bates, and are of course alike liable
with Rowe, though we are not aware that they
are any more peceniarily responsible. Mr. Haworth, when he signed the bond, was supposed
to be worth $30,000 at least, but if common rumor be anywhere near correct, not a dollar can
be made out of him on execution. The same
may also be said, we are informed, of Richardson, Stebbins and Woods, but of the liability of
Heydenfeldt, Bowman and Brigham, we know
nothing certain.—Sac. Bee.
A Goruic CastLe Unper toe Hammen,.-~The
death of the late Earl of Shrewsbury has extinguished one of the oldest titlesin England, which
bas been borne by the Talbot family uninterruptedly since the time of Henry II. The foun.
der of the family was the celebrated John Talbot
who figured so conspicuously in Shakspear’s historical plays, and the name has always been
strongly identified with the interests of the Roman Catholic party in England. of which the late
Earl was one of the leadcrs. The death of the
Earl without heirs has induced the necessity of
bringing under the hammer a vast colleetion of
furniture, paintings, armor, and all kinds of
miscellaneous relics which have accumulated for
centuries in the Talbot family. Among these .

On ride ight, of Se t. 4th, the Union, n nD o C)
° ve Oak City, Sa the store of Alfred Ball, in
ramento county, was set on fire about
and consumed, The loss is estimated at between
$3,000 and $4,000. The perpetrators of the deed
are said to have been seme drunken fellows
who have been hanging around that locality
making their rendezvous at a house of bad
character. Three of the parties were
tried at a meeting of the citizens, and as there
was evidence of their guilt, they were ordered
to leave the same night. This did not
seem disposed to do, when a commi waited
upon them and urged their departure. One of
them swore he would shoot the first man who
laid hands upon him, and took aim at one of
the party, who told him to fire. The man, however, lowered his gun and retired, and the other
two ran off. Another man remains, who is supposed to be an instigator.
Missine Man Founp.—The Yreka Union haa
been shown a letter, dated at Whiskey creek,
Trinity county, in relation te the man Sylvas,
who, a short time since, left the Robinson House,
in Trinity valley, in the night time,
hat aud boots behind. The letter states that
Sylvas, upon retiring to bed, imbibed rather
freely of brandy, which had the effect of rendering him insane. He left the house at night,
and after wandering over the mountains in the
vicinity two days, finally came to himself, The
letter states further, that when he came to his
reason he had his money, amounting to about
$250, about his person, and concluded if discovered by any one in his then condition, that he
might be taken for a robber, and shot upon suspicion. He therefore concealed his money, and
fetched up on Indian creek. He there found
some friends, who accompanied him back to
where the money was concealed, when he returned to Whiskey creek.
Mysrrrtovus Homicme.—The Calaveras Chronicle says that a Chileno, name unknown, was
taken to the jail of that county, on Monday,
August 31st. He was found near Campo Neuva,
in that county, lying with his breast across
another Chileno, (who was dead.) with a bowie
knife in his hand, with which, upon examination, several mortal wounds had been inflicted.
The deceased bad in his band a small pocket
kuife, with which some seven wounds had been
inflicted on the one who survived. The suppesition is that they were both drunk, and got
= a brawl, in which the homicide was cemmitted.
Co.oravo Ciry.—The Stockton Argus derives
information from the Colorado, and says that
Ovlorado City, on the river opposite Fort Yuma,
is a place of considera importance, and its
position at the only secure crossing of the river,
and at the head of navigation, make it certain
that it will be a large town at no distant day.
The territory of Arizona is not only capable of
attracting immigration, but is now being rapidly settled. Old ranches, long deserted by the
Mexicans, who had not the strength or the
spirit to resist the Indian attacks, are being reoccupied, and will this year yield large and
paying crops.
A Cavtioy.—The Mountain Messenger,*of
Sierra county, states that a man calling himself
F. W. Smith, has imposed himself upon the Masonic fraternity at several places in this State,
asa member of that order. in good standing in
Jefferson Lodge, Rabbit Creek. In many instances he has applied for charity, and, oma
plausible misrepresentation of his circumstances
has invariably received aid at the hands of the
brethren. He is a man about six feet in hight,
dressed in miner’s apparel, and bears the appearance of being a laboring man.
For Nomex Lackger.—Some seventy-five or a
hundred Indians were transported from Oroville
on the 8th inst., in charge of Messrs. Gatnbrel,
McLaughlin and others. The aborigines were
loaded into wagons, and their bows, arrows and
yagers taken from them, and themselves trotted
off in the presence of numerous anxious spectators. The poor creatures looked sad and down
hearted at leaving their old home, and went
away most unwillingly. It is the determination
of the agent, Mr. Titus, to “corral’’ all the natives in that vicinity.
IvsaxE Man.—The Marysville Inquirer says
that a man named Slutz was taken from that
place for Stockton on the 7th inst. He had been
brought there from Rabbit Creek. He seemed
hopelessly insane, and raved terribly. His bands
being tied, he reached outside of the coach with
them and seized hold of the wheels, saying that
the coach should not start until he was ready.
The spectacle was a painful one, and was witneased by a large number of people, who were
attracted by the cries of the unfortunate man.
Cauirornia Letrers.—The whole number of
letters sent through the San Francisco post effice to New York, from September 5th, 1856, te
August 20th, 1857, (one year,) was 968,637.
Nearly half as many more went into bage sent
direct from the interior towns, which were not
opened at the office, giving about 1,400,000 wd
annum from this to the Atlantie States and Europe, thus creating a revenue of $140,000 a
year for postage from California.
Incenpiany Artremrr at San Anpress.—On
Friday night, August 28th, ata late bour, an
attempt was made to set fire to the mining town
of San Andreas. The flames were discovered
by a watchman issuing from @ vacant house on
China street, and were extinguished by smothering them with an over-shirt saturated with
water.
Marysvitte.—The Inquirer says there has
been lees improvement in real estate in Marysville during the present season, than during
any previous one since 1853. Sales of real property are very rare, and usually at very low
rates, to raise money. There are few vacant
stores, and rents are nearly as high as ever.
CuINesE AND GUNPOWDER EXPELLED From Sonoka.—A meeting bas been held ia Sonora, induced by the fire in the town of Columbia, when
it was resolved that all powder should be removed outside the city limits; also, that the
Chinese should be forced to leave the place and
. be prohibited from returning.
