z ee ene: — GRASS VALLEY, OUT. 30, 1845. W. B. EWER, EDITOR. —_———___. AGENTS. E. Estsys Heit is our authorised Agent to transact business for this Office in Nevada and throughout ali the upper portions of the County. GARDINER & KIRK are our Agents in Sacramente.— ey may be found at the Post Office Literary Depot, Third St., next door to the Post Office. Mr. L. P. Fisusr is our sole Agent in San Franciseco. He Is empowered to receive advertisements, and receipt for the same. He may be found at his desk. in the Iron Building, opposite the Pacific Express Offee, up Stairs, a Indian Removals. The result of the last experiment to collect and domesticate, and thus plant the seeds of civilization among the Indians of Califoraia, bas so far proved eminently successful, needed in favor of the present policy of the Federal Goverment towards this people — Recent reports from the Tejon and JVomce Lackee Reservations, particularly the latter, represent the condition of the Indians who have been removed thither, as highly flourishing. They are, almost without exception. quiet, happy and contented. They are rapidly acquiring the incipient arts and habits of civilization ; and with a little care and attention will soon be able to provide themselves, by their own industry, with al! the neccessaries and conveniences of life required in their simple mode of living. They already cut and make their own clothiag, construct their own houses, somewhat after the manner of civilized life, and are rapidly becoming quite proficient in the various details of agricultural pursuits. Time was, before the white man came among these children of the forest, that they were a comparatively free and happy people. Undebased by the vices of civilized life, though ignorant of its virtues and blessings, they maiatained a species of independence and freedom of will and action, as they roamed unmolested and unrestrained over their native hills and valleys, which afforded them a comparative degree of happiness, and a positive condition of contentment. But those days have passed away. The advancing wave of a superior order of intelligence has swept over their beautiful vallies and and green hill sides, and the country which they once loved is now in the possession of strangers. Their game and every means of sustenance which they once enjoyed is now destroyed, and they themselvs are so sunken and degraded, from even their former condition, that life has become almost a burthen to them. Under these circumstances, the policy of “Removal,” which has been recently adopted, isnot only an act of humanity toward them, but also a matter of justice and right which their present pitiable condition claims at our hands. The few from this vicinity who have hitherto been persuaded to visit the Reservation, have uniformly expressed their utmost satisfaction with their condition there, and have used their best endeavours, when revisiting their brethren in this neighborhood, to persuade them to abandon their present homes for the better accomodations which have been provided fcr them at the Reservation. Owing to the interested, or foolish oppositiun of a few white men in our midst the work of a peaceable removal has hitherto progressed very slowly. This opposition however has been pretty much abandoned anda general exodus is now taking place. It is mainly to the untiring zeal, and persevering efforts, of Col. Henley’s assistant, Mr. J P. Storms, that we are indebted for the successful accomplishment of this important work. We, last week, mentioned that Mr. Storms was here for this purpose, and are now happy to announce that his present effort has been crowned with the most complete success. He started yesterday, from the Empire Ranch, with about 150 Indians, men, women and children, all of whom go, willing exiles from their native hills, to the place which their white friends have prepared for them. and where they may live in the undisturbed enjoyment of all the comforts which their untutored minds and their uncivilized habits are capable of appreciatin g. Too much credit cannot be awarded to the superintendent, Col. Henley, and his assistant Mr. Storms, for the bumane and faithful mannet in which they have performed their duty. They have been mindful alike of the rights and interests of all parties. Every proper effort which ingenuity could devise, and every truthful representation which could be brought to bear upon the minds of the Indians, bas been made use of in effecting this result. The success of their mission is the bert commendation that can be adduced in support of the manner in which it has been accomplished. Few men, indeed, we believe 20 man in the state is better qualified to secure the confidence of, and to control the Califcrnia InGian, than Mr. Storms. A long residence among them, an intimate knowledge of their habits and language, and a peculiar fitness for the task, renders him eminently useful in this position. Col. Henley could not have made a better selection, and we look for the happiest result from the Reservation with which he is connected. There are now but a few scattering Indians remaining in the County, save those which have for a long time been under the particular coutro!, of Mr. Bovyer, at his Ranch, some five or six miles north of this place. Mr. B. hasfor several years, carried on quite an extensive ranch almost exclusively by InORG a and is the best and only argument f a9 a em pri Spa eslw _a ere lian labor. He has been a goo.l and faithful riend to the Indians and is much beloved by them. In accordance with the wishes of himself and those Indians who have been for a long time with him, Col. Henley has consented that some forty or fifty of-them may remain with him, on condition that he shall take proper care of them and be responsible for their behavior. This Mr. B. promises to Jo, and will no donbt faithfully keep his word. He is now preparing comfortable nouses for them to live in, and will hereafter keep them more particularly under his personal supervision. With regard to the remainder, Mr. Storms will return again in a few days to collect them together and take them with him to the Reservation. The improvements on the upper part of this strect are among the most substantial in town, and will do much to Mitt Street. attach that importance to this street which itso richly deserves. Withont wishing to alarm the fears or excite the jealousy of our friends on Main Street, we feel in duty bound to say a first rate thing in behalf of the enterprising proprietors of the street first mentioned. We like to see a little spirit of good natured rivalry between the different sections of the town ; it speaks well for our prosperity asa people, and will dono harm anywhere. We hope, ere another season has passed away to see both Main and Mill street flanked by one continuous wall of brick. Fire proof . buildings are costly, it is true; but it is worth a good round sum to be able to go to . that ones property is safely stowed away . between four good substantial brick walls, ; which the incendiary’s torch can never reach and which will defy the most laborious efforts of the midnight robber. We have come to this conclusion ourselves, and most earnestly . beseech our friends on the hill, to hurry up . those “ bricks,” with all convenient dispatch. House Warmine.—We neglected to men' tion, last week, one of those interesting . little affairs commonly known as “House . Warmings.” It took place on the occasion . of “Old Block” having cleaned out the “chips” from hisnew Express office Building, . on Main Street. Soon after business hours, . &@ collation was spread out in his new Room around which assembled a choice gathering . of our business men who exchanged the com. pliments and congratulations usual on \ . were, that it was an occasion exceedingly prolific of good “sentiments”? and feelings. The present room is much superior to the former one, in its general appearance, and arrangements. In common with his host of friends, we wish the gentlemanly agent of Wells, Fargo &Co, and his attentive assistant to serve the public so richly merit. “Forp's RIFFLE Box.’’—The Nevada Jour-> bed at night with the comfortable assurance . all the success which their earnest endeavors . MF yt mae »* BS ee <Ecripse.—The Eclipse of t Wednesday last was one of the most maguifieent exhibitions of the kind that is often witnessed. The eclipse was total, and of uncommon length of duration. Nota cloud osbtructed the vision. The accuracy with which the mind of man can penetrate into the movements of the heavenly bodies, and predict, to a moment, the presise relative positions of so many planets.and stars, for years to come, points with no less certainty to the superior destination of man, as compare‘ with other animal creation around him. than it does to the still superior power‘and wisdom of him who directs and upholds those planets and those stars, in their courses through boundless space. Who that looks into the interior of man, and considers him in all his attributes, his mental powers, his soul-Jike yearnings for something that this tyor!i cannot give, can say to himself, as disso! go" approaches, “This is the cil Gf Tukge’ tu wae go a broad and view the starry ) sevens in all their effulgent glory, and consiier them in the em tO emplation, light in which science has anfolded our View, and turn from and say ‘‘ihere is no Goi.” the cont Execution.—Craine, the murderer of Miss Susan Newman, and Mickey Free, were hung at Coloma, on Friday last. The Sacramento Union, says that both parties manifested the utmost indifference to their fate. occupied about three-fourths of an hour ina speech, the burthen of which was that the Bible was a fable, and that society would soon look upon the “Harmonia” as the surest guide to eternal happiness. Mickey Free made no speech, but commencied a song, the first verse of which he sung, . . . words, and then stopped, as if he had forgotten the A duet was then sung by the prison. ers, the words of which were composed by Craine for the occasion, and which occupied some ten minutes. The last words of Free were, “now, boys see that this is done up right.”’ Craine’s last words were, “Susan, receive me, I shall soon be with you.” Craine was a widower and has four children living in the vicinity of Lexington, Ky. He was a monomaniac on the subject of spiritualism. Mickey Free, was a Canadian, and was one ofthe most coldblooded murderers that ever came tothe gallows. His career of crime commenced when he was but ten years of age! such occasions. We were not able to be . Tune Paciric Express Co, in addition to . present, but understood from those who . the usual papers from below, have been assiduous in their exertions to supply us with the various interior papers. Their especial attentions in this particular, are properly appreciated. To Mr. Brigham, the gentlemanly agent here, and to all his associates, in other offices, who take an interest in supplying this office with the several publications of their different localities, we tender our warmest thanks. Grey. Denver—Tur Great Seau.—The he moon, on Craine . Miss Per_terr—Narrow Escarr.—Thig eminent female philanthropist came near terminating her earthly career, a few days since, in a most tragical manner. The affair, which is replete with thrilling interest is thus detailed in the Sacramento Union:— It seems that, on Monday evening, the 15th. Miss Pellet delivered an address in the neighborhood of Evan’s Ferry. A Mrs. Wag. oner, took Miss Pellet home with her to be her guest for the night. On the next morning the Indians, eighty strong, made their terrible attack on the Ferry, where, and on the road to the residence of the Wagoners, they murdered twenty persons. Withont any intimation of the attack on the Ferry, Miss Pellet set out on her journey—not in the dirction of the Ferry—accompanied hy Mr. . Wagoner, a short distance, to direct her in . the road she wished to take. When he retrned from this hospitable duty, he was f dbomed to witness a most heart-rending . spectacle. The Indians, having murdered all they could at the Ferry and on the road, errived at Wagoner's house, where they put all the inmates to death, and set fire to the buildings. When Mr. Wagoner returned, he found his house burned to the ground, and the bones of his wife and child buried beneath its smoking ruins. Miss Pellet marvelously escaped the savages, and was safe in Sacramento on Tuesday last. She was at Bidwell on Friday and will probably, says the Marysville Herald, prolong her tour to the American and Sierra Valleys, and possibly, spend some time in the region round about Downieville. CALIroRNIA RESOURCES—-PHYSIC FOR THE MILLION !—According to the “Coloma Argus,”’ Somebody has discovered a mine of “Blue Mass,” in that vicinity, for which the sum of $25 000 has been offered and accepted! El Dorado is no dopbt a fast County, and possesses resources of a most extraordinary and inexhaustible character. While we would fully accord to El Dorado, the first rank in matters of this sort, we cannot do less than place Nevada County as high as second on the list. The last remarkable development of the untold wealth of this county is thus chronicled in the last “Nevada Journal.” “The Phizimalinktum company of this county struck last week in a bill back of Nevada a magnificently rich soap mine. There is anextremely large body of the article, the extent of which is yet unknown. The company finding that there is a heavy pressure upon it from the superincnmbent mountain, have bored small square auger holes in the side of the hill, through which the soap is forced like meat from a sausage stuffer. They have only to keep a manstanding at each hole with a hatchet to chop it off into bars of regular length as it comes out.— Ten hands are kept constantly employed at this business and boxing up the article for the Sacramento market. The surface water dissolves the wastage which runs off through . Glass, on the opposite side of the Strect . { sluices for Sacramento use also, in the form . from this office. m f CanaL Properry.—It is estimated, that there is now ten millions of dollars invested in the various Canal enterprizes of the state. What better surety of the certainity and permanency of mining operations can be furnished than the bare recital of this fact, and yet at this very time, there are a greater number and more gigantic enterprises of this character now in contemplation, than at any former period in the history of the state— The Sacramento Union, in alluding to investments of this description very jnstly remarks that it is not San Franciféo, or Sacramento that holds the ¢apital of California, The money—the real invested capital of the state is in the mines, and there it will remain, increasing in value and extent until the names of “Adams &Co” and “Page, Bacon & Co.’”’ have passed from the remembrance of the minds of men. Nevid# €ovstt. Birs#erory—Mr,. Dallison, one of the proprietors of the. Nevada Directory, was in town a few days since, soliciting support for the work. We are pleased to learn that he met with very flattering success. Sufficient encouragement has already been received to warrant the issue of the work. No effort will be spared by the proprietors to render it a publication every worthy of the County. Cartrornta Stace Co.—Persons from below who are, for the first time, transported into the mountains by the coaches of this enterprising Company, universally express the greatest astonishment at the complete and extensive arrangements which they have everywhere established for the comfort and rapid transmission of passengers from one point to another. Fast horses, good coaches, careful and experienced drivers and attentive agents everywhere mect the traveler, and establish the reputation of this Company as one which leaves no effort untried to accommodate the traveling public. Tax Payers, of Grass Valley Township, who wish to save costs, should tall forthwith upon Mr. J. M. Fouse, at his office on School street, and pay their State and County Taxes. See Advertisement. New Boat.—The “Express” states that Messers Blackman & Lindley, are about to commence the construction of a new boat to run between Marysville and San Francisco. She is to run as an Independant Steamer. Fire Proor Stasie.—The foundations of the new fire proof stable of Messrs Cady & Co. are now completed, and ready for the superstructure. This building, when finished, will form one of the most imposing fire proof structures in town. Quartz JEwELRY.—We were shown some elegant specimens of quartz jewelry, the other day, from the establishment of Mr. nal describes a new Machine, for saving gold ; State Journal of Thursday last announced which has been in operation, fora few weeks . the resignation of Gen.

The Journal thus sums up the advantages of this new invention, which, like nearly every other invention for the purpose of simplifying and improving the process of Placer Mining, has its origin in Nevada: But six inches fall is required for the machine, and for the apron which conducts the water into it, not so much. Any amount of water from 2 to 100 inches may be used. It is available for any kind of diggins, and may be inserted in the middle of a sluice or at the end. It is portable, and can be carried to any place. Itmay be cleaned up in ten minutes, when set requires no one to attend it, for it never clogs. The quicksilver is kept in constant motion but never wastes. The price is within the reach of all. DentTIstRy.—Persons in waat of anything in the Dentistry line, will do well to call upon Dr. Spaw, in the rear of this office.— The Dr. has such a peculiar way of doing the “agreeable ; when in the presence of his patients, as to change to a comparatively plesant ceremony, that, which, under ordinary circumstauces, is one of the most painful operations. It will fairly make a man’s mouth water just to look at his instruments. Omisston.—We neglected, last week, to acknowledge from Witkowski, a package of Atlantic papers, among which were copies of the last London & Boston Pictorials and other valuable periodicals. Our friend W. will please consider himself twice thanked. iting. ee ay a #==The Robinson Family are now at the Union Theatre, San Francisco, where they are drawing crowded houses, and reaping a golden harvest. La Petite Susan is the chief feature of attraction. The “Era” speaks of her as a more finished “artiste” than either of the Bateman children. Fire anv Loss or Lire.—The Marysville Express says that a fire occured at Parks Bar, on Monday of last week, destroying a Spanish dance house and several adjoining buildings. A man named Knight, was unfortunately burned to death. Export oF Four To CHILE.—Nothing can be more illustrative of the revolution which has taken place in the commercial affairs of this State, than the fact that flour is being exported from San Francisco to Chile. The clipper Hermoine left. with a full cargo of flour, for Valparaiso last week. j Seax”* question still stands in statu quo, and the state has to get along as well as it can, without any duly anthorised “Secretary.” New Doctrine, Boupty Utrerep.—‘“The Richmond (Va.) Examiner says: “The repeal of all laws against the slave trade has become necessary in order to the proper occupation of the new territories opened to slavery, and to the success of the scheme for iis further extension.” We like the boldness of the man, but honestly think there isaslight difiernce of opinion betwen him and the people. f= An extensive Pork and Beef packing establisnment bas recently gone into operation in San Franciseo. Thus we are gradually becoming able to supply ourselves witb the neccessaris of life. Soon we shall be as independent of the Hast, as the most favored nation or state ever becomes of a foreign market. Whenthat time comes, California will increase in wealth and power, with a rapidity to which even her past history, can afford no parallel. Sons or Temperance.—The Grand Division of the Sons of Temperance, elected their officers, at Sacramento, on Thursday last.— E. W. Roserts, Esq, of Rough & Ready, was elected Grand Worthy Patriarch of the Order. a ctiin tcc cancion f= By a careful calculation, it is shown that all mankind who have lived and died from the creation,to the present time, might be buried, side by side within the limits of the little state of Rhode Island. a ee ee IMPRISONED.—Santa Anna’‘s son, Jose de Santa Anna, who made his fortune out of the Custom House at Mazatlan, is now a prisoner in San Juan de Ulloa, awaiting trial on various e¢riminal charges. cael aan THE SPEAKERSHIP.—The Maysville Herald says it is authorised to announce that Geo. W. Carter, of Sacramento, will be a prominent candidate for Speaker of the next Assembly. Sa i a The man who imagined himself wise, because he detected some typographical errors in a newspaper, has gone east to get a perpendicular view of the rainbow. Za We are indebted to Wells, Fargo &Co for the usual farors of the week. and at last accounts were sinking a prospecting shaft, with the most flattering indications of success. This Company, it will be recollected is composed mostly of Grass Valley people, and is under the management favor of Plaintiffs to the amount of $350 and costs of Court—in all about $1200— No appeal taken.

INEQUALITY OF REPRESENTATION.—The San Francisco Herald says that the recent election demonstrated the fact that there are only ten States of the Union, out of the thirty-one, that polla larger vote than we do, and that if the same ratio of representation prevailed here as in the Southern States, we would be entitled to no less than ten Representatives to Congress, or eight according to the ratio of representation in the Northern States. California must wait until the next census shall do her justice. MoveMENTs OF Kinney Men.—The Central American at Greytown, says that nine hundred men will leave on the first of October from Alabama and Mississipi, for San Juan del Norte, with the intention of settling in Nicaragua. The party would be well furnished with provisions, farming utensils, &c., for six months. NEARLY FINISsHED.—The Nevada Democrat says the work on Kidd & Co.’s Yuba ditch is rapidly progressing. The flume is now completed up to the tunnel within a few feet of the waters of the South Yuba.

THE SacraMENTO Scuoor Question-—The . ordinance recently passed by the City Council of Sacramento, and vetoed by the Mayor— authorizing the Board of Education in their . discretion, to appropriate monies from the . School Fund to establish and support a free school for colored children, has again been passed by the Council by a two-third vote, thereby becoming a law notwithstanding the objections of the Mayor. 2&The School Commissioners have authorised, Constable Burnet to take a census of he children of this township, for the purpose of determining the amount to which the town is entitled from the general school fund. __ OO P= We would call attention to the Card of Mr. McKenna, which will be found in another column.
