We don’t know as he has fully succeeded in la soing the famous “amphibological bill, stu fed with monstrosities, hobbled with contradictions, and badgered with a proviso,” but he has given it a severe drive. Aside from its argument, it is a rich document, and did space permit, we should be pleased to give it to our readers entire. We advise all to read it. Independence among Papers.

Asa general test, it is perhaps sufficient to say that Wells, Fargo & Co., bought on Saturday evening, $14,000 worth of dust—and being in small parce}s, it tired “Old Block”? more than whittling with a dull knife.

Mr. Eprror :—What has become of the advocates for the incorporation of Grass Valley? Has the subject been entirely given up bv our citizens, and are the benefits and advantages of incorporation to be thwarted by individuals at enmity, in conduct at least, with those high and noble ends, calculated and destined tocarry on the work of advancement, refinement and perfection in the social and physical condition of the human family. What argument can there be against incorporation? What objection can any spirited, enterprising and refined man or woman have to such regulations as will secure to the residents and visitors of this place, at once, safety andcomfort? Why, unless something is done for this town soon. we shall all be up to was very similar, and we feel convinced that . position to be enchained to no party, to be they have a long continued richness before . governed or trammeled by no third person in our heads and ears in a heterogeneous and inexplicable mass of filth, consisting in part of PictoriaiTo our Patrons.

Tt is rarely that a single week brings us such att intiux of news. as has the“past ; and aral Miva Who doesnot pause with astonishment, as he . reviews the checkered scene which the great drama presents. Dynasties, whose policies, “fraught with the wisdom and genius of the age, gave fair promise of glory “as enduring as the stars,’ seem to be trembling on the verge of a threatening dissolution. Rumor follows rumor, and fogs are in the sky, portentous and illusire. freedom, thoughts come creeping forth to smile on the general sadness, for he sees the world awake, yet dreaming. Dreaming of of freedom—of that which is to become the ery of universal man—* Liberty, Democracy . Forever!’ Present events are ominous of a strugele . in the soul. The tide of freedom is swelling to its flood ; its waters, even now are rolling along the rushing torrent of the Danube terrible struggles. Poland is looking—Hungary is watching—Irelaad feels it—and Old . Greece whose wearied emp're had drooped in what gave promise of an everlasting shade, finds Hfope’s rosy wings are not forever . folded. England may well tremble. It is fit that she should lament in the following strain, as found in the London Times. “War is declared. A peace which has lasted the uncxampled period of thirty-nine years, which many fondly hoped was to last as many more, is at end: and the three most power. ful States of Europe are once more engaged in a struggle, the duration, the end, and the results of which no man can tell; but which is too likely to produce disasters and suffering, of which we are mercifully spared the . foreknowledge. It is not for us to attempt to lift up the veil of a futurity which must be sad in many respects; nor is there any need. No alternative is left us; the decision has been taken out of our hands; and, unless we would submit, with our allies to crouch under the insolent dictation of a barbaric power, and see the liberties of Exrope disappear under the tramp of the Cossack, we had no other course than to do what has now been done in sad and solemn form.”’ On our first side will be found a complete panorama of the present state of feeling, existing inevery nation, concerning this allalsorbing, and severely important topic. What is the duty of an American juror? Does he not virtually swear. in the presence of the highest memoria's of authority,—by his belief in God,—by all he holds sacred,—by everything dear,—that during his present acting, he will he true to his country,—just.to the unhappy man whose life is placed in his hands, ard that he will keep himself clear from prejudice, free from contamination, and preserve himself unsullied, even by sympathy, to the detriment of the gencral good? But what has lately occurred in Kentucky ? tice and humanity house openly takes the life of a man of more . respectability, but less rich, of less aristro. “eratic birth! So everybody believes—so everybody knows. And yet this jury, sworn as above described, at all hazards, at every risk, determined that the murderer should eseape! such was their verdict—and the guilty man has departed /egally free!—Shame upon such law! If wealth is thus to rule, let usshutup our churches and court-houses, let our ledgers become our bibles.—the book of hereditary titles our book of prayer,—the bar-room the place for patching up rotten constitutions, and the threat of the mob strike a terror to-every rulers heart, If such things are to continue. and men are tolerated in thus shamefuily violating the rights and powers delegated to them by authority, we shall soon see a fatal disease gathering round the heart of protective law— which will render it a loathsome and unsightly thing not to be tolerated. ~——— What greater disaster, or one more strongly claiming relief and pity, can befal unhappy man, than to become hopelessly insane, we are unable to tell. <A bill for their relief was introduced by Miss D. L. Dix, the heroic philanthropist. It has been decided by President Pierce, that it is unconstitutionalto help them.—Our readers can stop here, and comment for themselves.

Our birth-right, we es_ t6gm, and however broad our shoulders, we cannot carry any but honest men upon them. Although men are sent out labelled, and white washed, from a little caucus room, . twelve feet square, we cannot but look at his . pattern, and if we don’t like the cut, we can/not imitate. An independent paper, howev. er, should not hesitate to support good men . for office, and so we intend to do. Let them . be under the patronage of either party, so . they are men who will regard the interests of . the people, and reflect honor upon the office they seek, and they shall have our support. We want men of courage, of intellect, of heart, not little hobby-horse candidates, pen. ny politicians. time-servers and plate-lickers, . who, unable to control a two-penny business . to a successful issue, still feel wonderfully magnanimous upon matters of State, and . governmental policy, and fancy themselves . fully competent to abide the end of the Sec. retary of the Treasuryship. The beginning of independent Journalism is freedom—and although its end may never be accomplished, it will still have clean hands and conscience, even although not void of offence. . ; Mr. Mcrpocu.—The usual success of this ' gentleman has marked his course, in his late trip throughout the mines. Wherever he has been, fortune has smiled upon a worthy favorite. “Inthe general bosom he has reign. ed, of young and old, and either sex enchain'ed.”? At Nevada, he reached the top of ad'miration, and received, if possible, more en. thusiastic approval than in our own village. accepted, at the close of which, Judge Colburn arose and addressed him as follows :— Mr. Murpocu: In behalf of some of your old Atlantic friends, now residents of Nevada, desirous to give you some token of their continued friendship and esteem, I beg to . present to you this cane, the native product ‘and workmanship of these mines. Accept of ‘it, my dear sir, as a slight testimonial of your ‘acknowledged talents and transcendent pow‘ers in deliniating buman thoughts and passions, and for the grace and dignity with which you have at all times adorned your profession, by the purity of your private life. . Should you at some future time revisit Ne. vada, and afford us the pleasure of passing with you, another pleasant and profitable ‘hour, be assured, dear sir, the ladies and gentlemen of Nevada will give you a most cordial welcome. The cane was of mancineta wood, witha beautiful golden head, inlaid with gold quartz. . Its value is something like $200. It was re. ceived by Mr. Murdoch with ‘his usual felicitous look, gesture and expression. He is justly proud ef the well-merited gift. CaLirorniA STAGE Co.—The well deserved . patronage bestowed so liberally upon this . enterprising company, cannot but strike with . pleasure, any one who loves to see merit re‘warded. ‘Fine coaches and teams, and plenty _of them, enable them to push passengers over . the road with almost rail-road speed and ease —and the gentlemanly agents leave no stone ,unturned, while they labor assiduously for . the interests of the public and the company. Benton, of this village is always around, and . in his careful attentions is not a whit behind those others, of U.S. Hotel, Marysville memory. Passengers can come in any number, and if they wish to go on, and leave our pleasant Village. an extra, whirls them off ina tangent. Success to them, say we. . ‘TELLIsM.—The famous bet has at last been decided. Mr. Travis did find a man, who was willing to stand at thirty-six feet, and have an apple shot from his head. It being difficult to find an apple, an orange was substituted, and placed upon the head of Mr. J. O. P., who stood without blanching, while Mr. Travis, shot it off his caput at the first fire. The bet was $1000 to $800. . Lacer Brer.—Dont forget Charley’s, next door to our office. His Ice creams are indeed alittle wee bit tetched wi’ the frost—but ; good, his coffee excellent, and the cheese cakes, and Lager—“ Magnif.”” ‘“ Everybody buy’s . em.”?

The place was named “Mobile.”? A number of places on that side of the Cafion now find it somewhat difficult to pack their provisions, &c., across from Towa Hill, and there being a good wagon road from Sacramento to ‘“Mobile,”’ this will be a favorable point for miners at Richardson’s Hill, Wisconsin Hill, Grizzly Cafion, Cub Cajion, Refuge Cajion, and Shirt-tail Cajion, to obtain their supplies. Machinery is already on the way there for a Saw-Mill, and we understand several buildings are to be put up immediately for stores, &c. The location is a pleasant one—good water just above the town, and from the extensive mining in the immediate vicinity, we judge it will be a prominent addition to Iowa Hill. of retrogression. Grass Valley will be forgotten as the most romantic and beaut:ful of mountain towns, and we shall be stiomatized for our want of progression, taste, energy and enterprise. We don’t want nonsense,—we don’t want extravagance,—but we do want ?he mantle of authority that will enable us to do what is necessary, fit and proper for the welfare of this town. Let petitions, on a proper basis be circulated at once and sent to the County Court. There will be no trouble about incorporation ; the intelligent population of Grass Valley know their duties and their interests. Yours truly, S. M. JS There is perhaps in all California no more pleasant place to spend an evening than the Golden Gate of Grass Valley locality. The lady hostess, determined to leave nothing undone which shall contribute to the comfort of her guests, has lately completely renovated the whole Saloon, and it is now as famous for its cheering and pleasant appearance, as for its splendid billiard tables, good liquors, ete. The Chairman of the gathering is too,— “some.’? His corporal capacities are rather longitudinal than expansive, and his locomotive members enable him to take a high stand wherever he goes. He is not what may be called hirsute, for his crinose attachments are in somewhat of an unsettled condition. Some feign to believe him mischievously disposed towards the frailties of his fellows. Our own opinion is dubious. We have seen him however, poking a little fun, at those whose locomotive members had departed from the sphere of their personal influence, but that is nothing ; Steve is a good fellow, and very fond of a high dickey. All choice spirits are there, and he gives them such a thrill of sympathy—a circulation of mutuality, that they instantly become some, inter nos. When you call—sing out for Steve— * * * bid him quickly bring Some hock and Soda water ; then you’llknow ‘“‘A pleasure worthy Xerxes, the great king ; For not the blest sherbet, sublime with snow, Nor the first sparkle of the desert spring, Nor Burgundy, in all its sweetest glow, After long travel, ennui, love, or slaughter, Vie with that draught of hock and soda water.”’ Tue Ropinson Famity. Sap Accipent.— By a most untoward event, this talented troupe have been stayed in the midst of a most successful tide. From outside, and quite reliable sources, we learn that they were outstripping every other mountain company, and fast gathering the required ore. But while at Johnstown. on Sunday evening, little Susan after having finished the first dance, most unfortunately in going off the stage, went too near the side-lamp. In an instant the light dress caught, and the unfortunate girl was enveloped in flames. Her shrieks called her parents from behind the scenes, and the fire was soon extinguished, but not until she was severely injured. The hands of both Mr. and Mrs. Robinson are severely burned. The wounds of the little girl are broad, but not deep, and it is thought by her physicians, that she will be able to resume her labors in the course of two or three wecks, Mvrper.—It will be learned with regret by our readers, that William H. Cleveland, brother of Dr. C. D. Cleveland of this place, was murdered at Austin, Texas, the 23d of last April, bya man named Dunham. Mr. Cleveland was formerly a resident of this place, where he has many acquaintances and friends, The parties had a difficulty the day before. On the morning of the 25th, Dunham assailed Cleveland on the porch of his father’s residence, drawing a pistol. Cleveland being a powerful man, trusted to his cane. which he wore to splinters—-Dunham shooting at him all the while ; one of the balls took effect in his heart and he instantly expired. At last accounts, the assassin was under the care of surgeons. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS.—This week our especial thanks are due both the Express companies of Adams & Co., and Wells, Fargo & Co. “Often good turns are shuffled off with such our conscience, firm, they should find better dealing.” + . . . Nothing of value can be accomplished . . . disorderly and unpleasant, the slovenliness, . . uncurrent pay: But, were our worth as is Naproreon Wants A Divorce.—The Paris correspondent of the Montreal Witness writes as follows: “The great question which occupies, at present, the court of France, is the divorce of the Emperor. He no longer hopes to have any children by his present wife, and it is said he thinks of taking another. The report is not official,but as it has appeared in several licensed papers, the truth of it caa scarcely be questioned. Napoleon III. is, however, very fond of his wife, and the divorce will. resemble, in every point, that of his uncle and Josephine, who were, as you know, separated for the same reason. Whether from this motive or from any other, the Empress of the French is looking very melancholy. It is impossible to see her without being struck by her expression of sadness. As to the Emperor, he appears constantly calm and impassable.” A Western editor, copying a story about a drowning man who remembered every event of his life, advises some of his subscribers to bathe in deep water, as they may then be likely to remember the printer’s bill. Srratéarey Ur.—It is with a homeopathic tincture of bitterness that we are about to address our delinquents. Why don’t you pay up? Itis now become.a matter of fact that we must have it. Fell Poverty! what horrid curse, Level’d at Editors, can be worse ? To save us, hand us up your purse ! Editors rich . the thing to dream Is solecism in extreme. To pay us is no deadly sin— Lost owe us ? Hann usin THe Try ! To such as have already given us indications of their good will, we have passed receipts, and hearty thanks. To those who are still indebted, we recommend the latter part of Luke, 10th chapter, 37th verse. Concert.—It is not often that a larger or better pleased audience, is congregated in Grass Valley, than was assembled on last Saturday evening, at a Concert given by the Mountaineers. “Twenty caged Nightingales” . could not sing more sweetly than Miss Tozer, and the affections, must indeed be “dark as Erebus”? of him, who did not approve the whole troupe, as they poured forth their silver sounds. They were strongly urged, both her at Nevada, to give‘in each place another con. cert. home, carrying with them the hearty wish of . all who heard them, to hear them soon again. “Know Noruines.’’—In passing down Mill street a day or two since, we noticed a door bearing the significant title of “ The Office of the Know Nothings.”” We learn however that ’tis no go, and they have disbanded, and merged into the “Cant get away Cluh,” more familiarly known as the “Flat Broke Co.” ‘Know Nothings,’’ have a poor show in the mines. Cor. James Cotiier.-—The case brought by the United States against, James, Collier, of this State, formerly Collector at San Francisco, for money alleged to have been retained by him while such Collector, is now on trial in the United States Court in New York. Circvs.—The lovers of fun, are no doubt pleased to learn that Lee & Marshall’s Circus is to be here on the 14th inst. We saw this company a few wecks since at Marysville, and noticed a vast improvement upon their last summers performances. They spent the winter in training their horses, and perfecting themselves. FZ We love to puff a good cigar. and would not mind if in that same puff was included, the names of Messrs. Marks and Jessel. Of every brand they have the nicest, and whether we tried the Ambrosia Trabuco, the Emelia, or the Consula Ma Re, we found ourselves immediately in a most delightful reverie. What is more pleasant than with elevated feet, to sit in an easy chair, and watch the curling smoke, hiding the glowing sunset as you gaze at the horizon betwixt your slippers. M. & J. have the genuine. JS>We are indebted to Wells, Fargo &Co. for the last Marysville Herald, trom which we learn that the Editor has been to Red Biuffs—that a history of the celebrated Joaquin is soon to appear—that Marysville is prospering, and that considerable interest is felt in that city concerning the Benicia Railroad. ZIt is past joking, in talking of the weather, when we speak of eating a hot dinner on the 6th of June, sitting with a top coat on, beside a stove, and still shivering. We shall soon however, have a thaw. SquatreRIsH.—On Monday morning another squatter riot occurred in San Francisco, in which many shots were fired, one man killed, and several wounded. Jes The great amount of news brought us by the late steamer arrivals, has forced us. to devote a large portion of our paper to collected Foreign and Atlantic items. A NAME WANTED.—Somebody sends up from Frankfort, $2,00, but neglects tosign a name to the letter. gs We learn that the Chapman family are rather unsuccessful in their mountain tour. They made a bad start here. Js Adams & Co. gave us Atlantic exchanges by the Sonora, ahead of time.

Asa general test, it is perhaps sufficient to say that Wells, Fargo & Co., bought on Saturday evening, $14,000 worth of dust—and being in small parce}s, it tired “Old Block”? more than whittling with a dull knife.

Mr. Eprror :—What has become of the advocates for the incorporation of Grass Valley? Has the subject been entirely given up bv our citizens, and are the benefits and advantages of incorporation to be thwarted by individuals at enmity, in conduct at least, with those high and noble ends, calculated and destined tocarry on the work of advancement, refinement and perfection in the social and physical condition of the human family. What argument can there be against incorporation? What objection can any spirited, enterprising and refined man or woman have to such regulations as will secure to the residents and visitors of this place, at once, safety andcomfort? Why, unless something is done for this town soon. we shall all be up to was very similar, and we feel convinced that . position to be enchained to no party, to be they have a long continued richness before . governed or trammeled by no third person in our heads and ears in a heterogeneous and inexplicable mass of filth, consisting in part of PictoriaiTo our Patrons.

Tt is rarely that a single week brings us such att intiux of news. as has the“past ; and aral Miva Who doesnot pause with astonishment, as he . reviews the checkered scene which the great drama presents. Dynasties, whose policies, “fraught with the wisdom and genius of the age, gave fair promise of glory “as enduring as the stars,’ seem to be trembling on the verge of a threatening dissolution. Rumor follows rumor, and fogs are in the sky, portentous and illusire. freedom, thoughts come creeping forth to smile on the general sadness, for he sees the world awake, yet dreaming. Dreaming of of freedom—of that which is to become the ery of universal man—* Liberty, Democracy . Forever!’ Present events are ominous of a strugele . in the soul. The tide of freedom is swelling to its flood ; its waters, even now are rolling along the rushing torrent of the Danube terrible struggles. Poland is looking—Hungary is watching—Irelaad feels it—and Old . Greece whose wearied emp're had drooped in what gave promise of an everlasting shade, finds Hfope’s rosy wings are not forever . folded. England may well tremble. It is fit that she should lament in the following strain, as found in the London Times. “War is declared. A peace which has lasted the uncxampled period of thirty-nine years, which many fondly hoped was to last as many more, is at end: and the three most power. ful States of Europe are once more engaged in a struggle, the duration, the end, and the results of which no man can tell; but which is too likely to produce disasters and suffering, of which we are mercifully spared the . foreknowledge. It is not for us to attempt to lift up the veil of a futurity which must be sad in many respects; nor is there any need. No alternative is left us; the decision has been taken out of our hands; and, unless we would submit, with our allies to crouch under the insolent dictation of a barbaric power, and see the liberties of Exrope disappear under the tramp of the Cossack, we had no other course than to do what has now been done in sad and solemn form.”’ On our first side will be found a complete panorama of the present state of feeling, existing inevery nation, concerning this allalsorbing, and severely important topic. What is the duty of an American juror? Does he not virtually swear. in the presence of the highest memoria's of authority,—by his belief in God,—by all he holds sacred,—by everything dear,—that during his present acting, he will he true to his country,—just.to the unhappy man whose life is placed in his hands, ard that he will keep himself clear from prejudice, free from contamination, and preserve himself unsullied, even by sympathy, to the detriment of the gencral good? But what has lately occurred in Kentucky ? tice and humanity house openly takes the life of a man of more . respectability, but less rich, of less aristro. “eratic birth! So everybody believes—so everybody knows. And yet this jury, sworn as above described, at all hazards, at every risk, determined that the murderer should eseape! such was their verdict—and the guilty man has departed /egally free!—Shame upon such law! If wealth is thus to rule, let usshutup our churches and court-houses, let our ledgers become our bibles.—the book of hereditary titles our book of prayer,—the bar-room the place for patching up rotten constitutions, and the threat of the mob strike a terror to-every rulers heart, If such things are to continue. and men are tolerated in thus shamefuily violating the rights and powers delegated to them by authority, we shall soon see a fatal disease gathering round the heart of protective law— which will render it a loathsome and unsightly thing not to be tolerated. ~——— What greater disaster, or one more strongly claiming relief and pity, can befal unhappy man, than to become hopelessly insane, we are unable to tell. <A bill for their relief was introduced by Miss D. L. Dix, the heroic philanthropist. It has been decided by President Pierce, that it is unconstitutionalto help them.—Our readers can stop here, and comment for themselves.

Although men are sent out labelled, and white washed, from a little caucus room, . twelve feet square, we cannot but look at his . pattern, and if we don’t like the cut, we can/not imitate. An independent paper, howev. er, should not hesitate to support good men . for office, and so we intend to do. Let them . be under the patronage of either party, so . they are men who will regard the interests of . the people, and reflect honor upon the office they seek, and they shall have our support. We want men of courage, of intellect, of heart, not little hobby-horse candidates, pen. ny politicians. time-servers and plate-lickers, . who, unable to control a two-penny business . to a successful issue, still feel wonderfully magnanimous upon matters of State, and . governmental policy, and fancy themselves . fully competent to abide the end of the Sec. retary of the Treasuryship. The beginning of independent Journalism is freedom—and although its end may never be accomplished, it will still have clean hands and conscience, even although not void of offence. . ; Mr. Mcrpocu.—The usual success of this ' gentleman has marked his course, in his late trip throughout the mines. Wherever he has been, fortune has smiled upon a worthy favorite. “Inthe general bosom he has reign. ed, of young and old, and either sex enchain'ed.”? At Nevada, he reached the top of ad'miration, and received, if possible, more en. thusiastic approval than in our own village. accepted, at the close of which, Judge Colburn arose and addressed him as follows :— Mr. Murpocu: In behalf of some of your old Atlantic friends, now residents of Nevada, desirous to give you some token of their continued friendship and esteem, I beg to . present to you this cane, the native product ‘and workmanship of these mines. Accept of ‘it, my dear sir, as a slight testimonial of your ‘acknowledged talents and transcendent pow‘ers in deliniating buman thoughts and passions, and for the grace and dignity with which you have at all times adorned your profession, by the purity of your private life. . Should you at some future time revisit Ne. vada, and afford us the pleasure of passing with you, another pleasant and profitable ‘hour, be assured, dear sir, the ladies and gentlemen of Nevada will give you a most cordial welcome. The cane was of mancineta wood, witha beautiful golden head, inlaid with gold quartz. . Its value is something like $200. It was re. ceived by Mr. Murdoch with ‘his usual felicitous look, gesture and expression. He is justly proud ef the well-merited gift. CaLirorniA STAGE Co.—The well deserved . patronage bestowed so liberally upon this . enterprising company, cannot but strike with . pleasure, any one who loves to see merit re‘warded. ‘Fine coaches and teams, and plenty _of them, enable them to push passengers over . the road with almost rail-road speed and ease —and the gentlemanly agents leave no stone ,unturned, while they labor assiduously for . the interests of the public and the company.

Passengers can come in any number, and if they wish to go on, and leave our pleasant Village. an extra, whirls them off ina tangent. Success to them, say we. . ‘TELLIsM.—The famous bet has at last been decided. Mr. Travis did find a man, who was willing to stand at thirty-six feet, and have an apple shot from his head. It being difficult to find an apple, an orange was substituted, and placed upon the head of Mr. J. O. P., who stood without blanching, while Mr. Travis, shot it off his caput at the first fire. The bet was $1000 to $800. . Lacer Brer.—Dont forget Charley’s, next door to our office.

The place was named “Mobile.”? A number of places on that side of the Cafion now find it somewhat difficult to pack their provisions, &c., across from Towa Hill, and there being a good wagon road from Sacramento to ‘“Mobile,”’ this will be a favorable point for miners at Richardson’s Hill, Wisconsin Hill, Grizzly Cafion, Cub Cajion, Refuge Cajion, and Shirt-tail Cajion, to obtain their supplies. Machinery is already on the way there for a Saw-Mill, and we understand several buildings are to be put up immediately for stores, &c. The location is a pleasant one—good water just above the town, and from the extensive mining in the immediate vicinity, we judge it will be a prominent addition to Iowa Hill. of retrogression. Grass Valley will be forgotten as the most romantic and beaut:ful of mountain towns, and we shall be stiomatized for our want of progression, taste, energy and

enterprise. We don’t want nonsense,—we don’t want extravagance,—but we do want ?he mantle of authority that will enable us to do what is necessary, fit and proper for the welfare of this town. Let petitions, on a proper basis be circulated at once and sent to the County Court. There will be no trouble about incorporation ; the intelligent population of Grass Valley know their duties and their interests. Yours truly, S. M. JS There is perhaps in all California no more pleasant place to spend an evening than the Golden Gate of Grass Valley locality. The lady hostess, determined to leave nothing undone which shall contribute to the comfort of her guests, has lately completely renovated the whole Saloon, and it is now as famous for its cheering and pleasant appearance, as for its splendid billiard tables, good liquors, ete. The Chairman of the gathering is too,— “some.’? His corporal capacities are rather longitudinal than expansive, and his locomotive members enable him to take a high stand wherever he goes. He is not what may be called hirsute, for his crinose attachments are in somewhat of an unsettled condition. Some feign to believe him mischievously disposed towards the frailties of his fellows. Our own opinion is dubious. We have seen him however, poking a little fun, at those whose locomotive members had departed from the sphere of their personal influence, but that is nothing ; Steve is a good fellow, and very fond of a high dickey. All choice spirits are there, and he gives them such a thrill of sympathy—a circulation of mutuality, that they instantly become some, inter nos. When you call—sing out for Steve— * * * bid him quickly bring Some hock and Soda water ; then you’llknow ‘“‘A pleasure worthy Xerxes, the great king ; For not the blest sherbet, sublime with snow, Nor the first sparkle of the desert spring, Nor Burgundy, in all its sweetest glow, After long travel, ennui, love, or slaughter, Vie with that draught of hock and soda water.”’ Tue Ropinson Famity. Sap Accipent.— By a most untoward event, this talented troupe have been stayed in the midst of a most successful tide. From outside, and quite reliable sources, we learn that they were outstripping every other mountain company, and fast gathering the required ore. But while at Johnstown. on Sunday evening, little Susan after having finished the first dance, most unfortunately in going off the stage, went too near the side-lamp. In an instant the light dress caught, and the unfortunate girl was enveloped in flames. Her shrieks called her parents from behind the scenes, and the fire was soon extinguished, but not until she was severely injured. The hands of both Mr. and Mrs. Robinson are severely burned. The wounds of the little girl are broad, but not deep, and it is thought by her physicians, that she will be able to resume her labors in the course of two or three wecks, Mvrper.—It will be learned with regret by our readers, that William H. Cleveland, brother of Dr. C. D. Cleveland of this place, was murdered at Austin, Texas, the 23d of last April, bya man named Dunham. Mr. Cleveland was formerly a resident of this place, where he has many acquaintances and friends, The parties had a difficulty the day before. On the morning of the 25th, Dunham assailed Cleveland on the porch of his father’s residence, drawing a pistol. Cleveland being a powerful man, trusted to his cane. which he wore to splinters—-Dunham shooting at him all the while ; one of the balls took effect in his heart and he instantly expired. At last accounts, the assassin was under the care of surgeons.

He no longer hopes to have any children by his present wife, and it is said he thinks of taking another. The report is not official,but as it has appeared in several licensed papers, the truth of it caa scarcely be questioned. Napoleon III. is, however, very fond of his wife, and the divorce will. resemble, in every point, that of his uncle and Josephine, who were, as you know, separated for the same reason. Whether from this motive or from any other, the Empress of the French is looking very melancholy. It is impossible to see her without being struck by her expression of sadness. As to the Emperor, he appears constantly calm and impassable.” A Western editor, copying a story about a drowning man who remembered every event of his life, advises some of his subscribers to bathe in deep water, as they may then be likely to remember the printer’s bill. Srratéarey Ur.—It is with a homeopathic tincture of bitterness that we are about to address our delinquents. Why don’t you pay up? Itis now become.a matter of fact that we must have it.

To those who are still indebted, we recommend the latter part of Luke, 10th chapter, 37th verse. Concert.—It is not often that a larger or better pleased audience, is congregated in Grass Valley, than was assembled on last Saturday evening, at a Concert given by the Mountaineers. “Twenty caged Nightingales” . could not sing more sweetly than Miss Tozer, and the affections, must indeed be “dark as Erebus”? of him, who did not approve the whole troupe, as they poured forth their silver sounds. They were strongly urged, both her at Nevada, to give‘in each place another con. cert. home, carrying with them the hearty wish of . all who heard them, to hear them soon again. “Know Noruines.’’—In passing down Mill street a day or two since, we noticed a door bearing the significant title of “ The Office of the Know Nothings.”” We learn however that ’tis no go, and they have disbanded, and merged into the “Cant get away Cluh,” more familiarly known as the “Flat Broke Co.” ‘Know Nothings,’’ have a poor show in the mines. Cor. James Cotiier.-—The case brought by the United States against, James, Collier, of this State, formerly Collector at San Francisco, for money alleged to have been retained by him while such Collector, is now on trial in the United States Court in New York. Circvs.—The lovers of fun, are no doubt pleased to learn that Lee & Marshall’s Circus is to be here on the 14th inst. We saw this company a few wecks since at Marysville, and noticed a vast improvement upon their last summers performances. They spent the winter in training their horses, and perfecting themselves. FZ We love to puff a good cigar. and would not mind if in that same puff was included, the names of Messrs. Marks and Jessel. Of every brand they have the nicest, and whether we tried the Ambrosia Trabuco, the Emelia, or the Consula Ma Re, we found ourselves immediately in a most delightful reverie. What is more pleasant than with elevated feet, to sit in an easy chair, and watch the curling smoke, hiding the glowing sunset as you gaze at the horizon betwixt your slippers.

ZIt is past joking, in talking of the weather, when we speak of eating a hot dinner on the 6th of June, sitting with a top coat on, beside a stove, and still shivering. We shall soon however, have a thaw. SquatreRIsH.—On Monday morning another squatter riot occurred in San Francisco, in which many shots were fired, one man killed, and several wounded. Jes The great amount of news brought us by the late steamer arrivals, has forced us. to devote a large portion of our paper to collected Foreign and Atlantic items. A NAME WANTED.—Somebody sends up from Frankfort, $2,00, but neglects tosign a name to the letter. gs We learn that the Chapman family are rather unsuccessful in their mountain tour. They made a bad start here. Js Adams & Co. gave us Atlantic exchanges by the Sonora, ahead of time.
