It is the tunneler at his work, pierceing the hard . granite with drill and blast. The rock drips with humidity, and the yeliow . flame of his candle can scarcely subsist in the close and noisome atmosphere. Grim, and wet, and pale the tunneler works away through the gloom, night . after night for months, and even years. . ‘Sometim-s his task is brought to a sud. eden conclusion by a premature explosion, and he is a maimed creature for life, unless the kinder fate of instant death befalls him. If not maimed or killed his severe toil may result in disappointment ; or if fortunate, success may be robbed of its pleasures by the physical ills of a broken constitution. Think of all this, ye comfortable ones when you turn in your drowsy beds and hear the tunneler’s thunder; think of this, and while thanking heaven for your exemption from such painful labor, wish for suecess to the industrious night worker who is boreing the foundations of the earth be neath you. SILverR Coin WanrtTep.—Mountain traders are now refusing to take rupees at the old valuation of fifty cents. They are compelled to this step in self defense by the action of the business men of As usual in such cases all the loss falls on the poor man. It is right enough that these coins should be San Francisco. reduced to their true value, but the process by which they were raised above it was wrong. worth by twenty per cent. what they pass for, making a handsome amount of money by the operation, and then refuse to receive them except at a price below their original value, thus making another profit. This was done years ago with the French franc pieces, and with those worthless German coins, and recently with the rupees. It is considered a fair business transaction by most men, and there are few, perhaps, who would term it dishonest. Yet it is dishonest. Such tricks could not be practiced on the community but for the fact that there has generally been an insuffi«cient supply of silver coin. South American, Mexican and Spanish silver is withdrawn from circulation, because it has a premium value amounting sometimes to as high as sixteen cents on a dollar; and as the Branch Mint coins a comparatively small amount of silver, but little change would be in circulation but for the aid of small pieces of foreign coinage. Hence the necessities of trade compel people to take whatever trash San Francisco sharpers may impose upon them. The public need more American halves and quarters. The Branch Mint is now coining silver dollars, but these will mostly goto China. There should be more small silver coined, and interior traders must hereafter refuse, at the very start, to take any coin for more than its value. Unless they do this they, and the community at large, are liable to be periodically swindled. Already a new imposition has been initiated in the shape of gold five frane pieces. They are said to be very thin but as: large in diameter as our three dollar pieces. These and the silver five franc ‘pieces are becoming plentiful and pass for a dollar without question. There cannot be much loss on them, however, if the bankers should shut down, for they are really worth from ninety-three to ninty six cents. TELEGRAPH TO NEyADA.—The Marysville Democrat says that parties in . that city are setting on foot an enterprise which has for its object an immediate telegraphic connection between Marysville and Neveda, via Timbuctoo, Rough & Ready and Grass Valley. At present electric communication between the first named city and Nevada must be had all the way around by Sacramento, which is:very inconvenient. This remark will apply to North San Juan, and we hope the above parties will take the fact into consideration, Iftelegraphing between so mueh as it now does, there would be a considerable amount done, As it is, . people will not send despatches except upon the most urgent compulsion, Speculators at the Bay first flood the country with coins that are not . ings’ is decidedly improving. the trouble to count the houses composing this town, and found that they number about 250, not including miners cabins and various edifices not used as habitations nor places of business This shows an increase of about fifty houses in three months, of which number about thirty are very respectable buildings. Of the total number of houses forty are inhabited by Chinese, and are not of a very high order of architecture. They do not contain, probably, less than five Chinese each, which would make that class of our population number two hunone hundred families, some of whom reside in very neat cottages surrounded by gardens. North San Juan cannot boast of many fine buildings. There are cight fire-proof bricks on Main street, one double building two stories high, presenting a handsome appearance. . dred. In and around town there are about at all seasons. to Utah, over the Yuba gap route, all . through the present winter. The Sierra Citizen informs us that the road has been impassable but once this season, and yet _ there has been no travel over the imperfect trail except by the semi-monthly expressman. It asserts that a wagon road could be kept open with ease during a winter even worse than the present, which eo readily believe. The Yuba Pass 1s said to be at least one thousand feet lower than Johnson’s Pass on the Placerville route, and capable, if a good road were made through it, of being traveled by light wagons and buggies Mr. Langton has demonstrated the practicability of this route, and its superiority to the boasted Central route, by keeping up regular express communication from the 20th of DecemHe has had . no government contract, nor large appropriations of money to spur and assist ber until the present time.

We havea public school house, a church, three hotels, two restaurants, four or five sawmills, a brewery, a foundry, about sixty stores and shops of all kinds, (at twenty of which liquor is sold,) and more houses of ill fame than we like to mention. The public institutions established are a Library, containing six hundred volumes, which ought to be supported ; a Lodge of Odd Fellows, and one of Masons; a Mutual Relief Society, and a Temperance Association consisting entirely of Welshmen. Last, but not least, there is a printing office, where these facts are being recorded for future reference. The population of North San Juan probably numbers upwards of one thousand souls If the present rate of increase proceeds, there will be in one year from now about five hundred houses in the place, and some two thousand inhabitants. Such an increase is not improbable. Those already located here are sending for their friends and families to join them, or are marrying here, and building comfortable homes. New comers are constantly seeking here a permanent business location, and the increased yield of the mines, as one more claim after another is opened, affords them support and attracts others. There are various industrial pursuits in our midst besides mining, which add to the general wealth, afford employment and make the community partly self-sustaining. THe CHINESE PROoBLEM.—This was placed in the hands of an Assembly committee for solution, but they make a report which is no solution—only an evasion. They submita resolution urging the passage of alaw by Congress fer the prohibition of Chinese immigration to California. Congress will not pass a law which, ina national point of view, would be so obviously impolitic; and hence, this resolution will accomplish nothing. There is but one feasible plan for abating this Asiatic nuisance—we use the popular term—and thatis, to increase the mining license to such a high figure that it will virtually drive the Chinese from the diggings, where their presence seems most objectionable, to other portions of the State where their labor in other pursuits may render their presence desirable. The gold mines being the great attraction, Chinamen, if thus excluded from them, would not be apt to come to the country at all, or only in small numbers. Those already in the diggings should be allowed to work out their claims upon paying a monthly license at the old rates. This plan we proposed long ago, and it has been advocated by many of the mountain papers. Something like it should be tried, and his own individual energy and by a desire to promote the interests af this portion of the mountains. His express leaves Downieville on the 5th and 20th of every month, for Sierra Valley, Washoe Valley, Genoa, in Carson Valley, Chinatown, Johntown, Truckee Meadows, Carson City, in Eagle Valley, and Gold Canyon. He intends, the coming summer, to run an express clear through via Salt Lake City to St. Josephs, Missouri. This enterprise will prove the pioneer to a regular mail route through the Yuba Pass to Downieville and Marysville. The Sierra Turnpike Company contemplate extending their road to the gap, ard this will assure the suzcess of the whole route. It is really to be hoped that this magnificent enterprise will be appreciated and assisted by the citizens of our own ridge. Its completion, and the construction of the road from North San Juan to Downieville, which we have heretofore advocated, will place us in direct connection with an important line of emigration and mountain travel; thus facilitating communication and settlement, and investing the towns of this region with a degree of permanence and importance which otherwise they could never enjoy. LEGISLATIVE.—The Senate and Assembly adjourned early last Friday morning to enable members to join in a legislative excursion to Oakland. A large number went, of course, and after being deadheaded down and up the river and at the Bay, returned to the capital fresher, if not wiser men. The prospects of Oakland were not improved by the trip, and on Tuesday the bill providing for the removal of the capital was killed by an Assembly vote of 28 to 30. We gather from the Union a brief abstract of the most interesting transactions since our last issue. The bill establishing a Branch Insane Asylum, which was reconsidered has been again defeated in the Assembly, but Senator Allen has since introduced another bill with the same object: The Senate has passed to engrossment a bill for the establishment of County Infirmaries. The bill allowing the southern counties to separate from the State was passed in the Assembly, but afterwards called up for reconsideration Several petitions for a Sunday law were received. The Senate passed the $50,000 appropriation bill for a wagon road over the Sierra Nevada. The Assembly has under active consideration the bill to pay the army of Gov Johnson. The upper portion of Sierra county has_ been erected into a new county by the name of Alturas. <A bill has been introduced appropriating $10,000 for the construction of a wagon road through Noble’s Pass. The Senate bill to submit to the people whether a convention shall be called to revise the constitution, passed by 25 to6. The Assembly adopted a concurrent resolution asking Congress for a branch mail route from Humboldt that speedily, if we do not wish to see .

Notices.—The Culturist for March has come to hand, filled with its usual valuable hints to tillers of the soil. It should be found side by side with Col. Warren’s Farmer in the dwelling of every California agriculturist. the state disgraced by a succession of ville. . Senator Ballou, of Plumas, has introduced a bill appropriating $20,000 to assist in the completion of a wagon road across the Sierra Nevada, on the line of a road now located and partially completed, commencing at Oroville, and running thence by the way of the ountain House, in Butte county, and Quincy and Indian Valley in Plumas county, to a point on the eastern boundHutching’s Magazine for April con-. ary at or near Honey Lake-— Union tains an article from the pen of Dr. Scott, on “Persia, Past and Present.” ProGreEssinGc.—The Christian Ad. vocate informs us that there are already Alsoa poem of much originality and ' about one hundred and fifty students in atthis place and Marysville did not cost’ vigor by John R.

The break in the ditch was not repaired as soon as was expected, so there has becn some interruption in the supply of water. No companies have cleaned up on San Juan Hillsince last week. The Star Company are about ready to wash through their new shaft, and other claims are in a forward state of preparation. From Cherokee we learn that Dr. Clark & Co. have just completed a tunnel which is five hundred feet long and seventy-five feet in the rock. This will enable them to wash a large amount of valuable ground, and will ultimately afford a vent for adjoining claims on the flat. AtGrizzly Hill a fourth interest in the San Juan claims has been sold for $5,500. To illustrate how mining claims appreciate in value hereabouts, it may be mentioned that a fourth interest in the same ground sold for only $2,500 about six or eight months ago. Since that time considerable washing has been done, and the worth of the ground more nearly ascertained. A correspondent writing from North Bloomfield says that the contractor of the Humbug Flume, who has so jong sighed in vain for water, has, at present, alas ! toomuch ; and the flume—“though lost to sight to memory dear’’—lies buried under six feet of tailings. Every mining locality on the ridge, below the line of deep snow, is abundantly supplied with water, but the extreme cold has kept operations at a stand still, with but few exceptions. Tue Two Rovutes.—lIt is worthy of remark, that while the Placerville and Salt Lake route, where it crosses the mountains, has been closed against the passage of animals for sometime past by deep snow, the route traveled by Langton’s Express through the Yuba gap, has remained open through the whole winter, but one trip being missed. The Territorial Enterprise, published at Genoa, Carson Valley, lays the whole blame for the closing of the road over the summit upon Major Chorpenning and his agents, who, as_the present severe winter set in, did not take a step towards building mere stations, and providing provisions for the sustenance of men and horses. This, the Enterprise contends, is all that was necessary to keep the road in good traveling condition. This is possibly true; but how much better it would be to have a route not liable to be closed every winter by such contingencies as personal neglect or a single severe storm. VIGILANT SENTINELS.—“Tail Sluice’”’ writes us from Birchville the particulars of a sanguinary incident which occurred on Thursday evening. He says the quiet of that peaceable village was “considerably disturbed by a deed of valor, chivalry and romance combined.” It appears that two honest miners who reside in a cabin which is located on their claims, have been for some time on the constant watch for sluice robbers, fearfully provided with fire-arms in case of necessity. On the evening above-named they heard the steps of a prowling intruder—rushed forth like wolves from their lair, and, witha Minnie rifle, shot dead an individual—of the canine species. Our informant says that the perpetrators of this retributive act immediately left and gave the alarm, but could not be persuaded to return to the scene of slaughter, and are now believed to be on their way to Nevada, to place themselves in the hands of the legal authorities. Mr. M. G. Forsey, says the Oregon Statesman, executed the first printing ever done in Oregon at Lapwaia, in 1844. The first thing printed was the gospel of St Matthew, in the Nez Perce language ; the next was a vocabulary of the Nez Perce and English language. Mr. Forsey also printed, in 1846, the first newspaper issued in California. 1t was published at Monterey, and printed in the English and Spanish language, on a sheet about the size of an or. dinary letter, and wascalled the Californian, Rain TaB.Le.—The following figures show the amount of rain that has fallen from October, 1858, to February, 1859, inclusive,in four of the principal poirts in the State: Months.

His death was caused by an injury received while working in a tunnel. Mr. Barney was a young man possessing many very excellent traits of character, and was very highly esteemed by all whoknuew him. Hissufferings were very severe, but were borne with fortitude—so much so that hopes were entertained of his recovery until within a few hours of his death. A short time before he died he called his brother to his bedside, told him he was going, embraced him af. fectionately, saying—“Dont leave me,” and in a few minutes the weary wheels of life stood still, and the disembodied spirit took its flight into a world of spiritsHopes are entertaincd that his soul reats with God.

At present electric communication between the first named city and Nevada must be had all the way around by Sacramento, which is:very inconvenient. This remark will apply to North San Juan, and we hope the above parties will take the fact into consideration, Iftelegraphing between so mueh as it now does, there would be a considerable amount done, As it is, . people will not send despatches except upon the most urgent compulsion, Speculators at the Bay first flood the country with coins that are not . ings’ is decidedly improving. the trouble to count the houses composing this town, and found that they number about 250, not including miners cabins and various edifices not used as habitations nor places of business This shows an increase of about fifty houses in three months, of which number about thirty are very respectable buildings. Of the total number of houses forty are inhabited by Chinese, and are not of a very high order of architecture. They do not contain, probably, less than five Chinese each, which would make that class of our population number two hunone hundred families, some of whom reside in very neat cottages surrounded by gardens. North San Juan cannot boast of many fine buildings. There are cight fire-proof bricks on Main street, one double building two stories high, presenting a handsome appearance. . dred. In and around town there are about at all seasons. to Utah, over the Yuba gap route, all . through the present winter. The Sierra Citizen informs us that the road has been impassable but once this season, and yet _ there has been no travel over the imperfect trail except by the semi-monthly expressman. It asserts that a wagon road could be kept open with ease during a winter even worse than the present, which eo readily believe. The Yuba Pass 1s said to be at least one thousand feet lower than Johnson’s Pass on the Placerville route, and capable, if a good road were made through it, of being traveled by light wagons and buggies Mr. Langton has demonstrated the practicability of this route, and its superiority to the boasted Central route, by keeping up regular express communication from the 20th of DecemHe has had . no government contract, nor large appropriations of money to spur and assist ber until the present time.

We havea public school house, a church, three hotels, two restaurants, four or five sawmills, a brewery, a foundry, about sixty stores and shops of all kinds, (at twenty of which liquor is sold,) and more houses of ill fame than we like to mention. The public institutions established are a Library, containing six hundred volumes, which ought to be supported ; a Lodge of Odd Fellows, and one of Masons; a Mutual Relief Society, and a Temperance Association consisting entirely of Welshmen. Last, but not least, there is a printing office, where these facts are being recorded for future reference. The population of North San Juan probably numbers upwards of one thousand souls If the present rate of increase proceeds, there will be in one year from now about five hundred houses in the place, and some two thousand inhabitants. Such an increase is not improbable. Those already located here are sending for their friends and families to join them, or are marrying here, and building comfortable homes. New comers are constantly seeking here a permanent business location, and the increased yield of the mines, as one more claim after another is opened, affords them support and attracts others. There are various industrial pursuits in our midst besides mining, which add to the general wealth, afford employment and make the community partly self-sustaining. THe CHINESE PROoBLEM.—This was placed in the hands of an Assembly committee for solution, but they make a report which is no solution—only an evasion. They submita resolution urging the passage of alaw by Congress fer the prohibition of Chinese immigration to California. Congress will not pass a law which, ina national point of view, would be so obviously impolitic; and hence, this resolution will accomplish nothing. There is but one feasible plan for abating this Asiatic nuisance—we use the popular term—and thatis, to increase the mining license to such a high figure that it will virtually drive the Chinese from the diggings, where their presence seems most objectionable, to other portions of the State where their labor in other pursuits may render their presence desirable. The gold mines being the great attraction, Chinamen, if thus excluded from them, would not be apt to come to the country at all, or only in small numbers. Those already in the diggings should be allowed to work out their claims upon paying a monthly license at the old rates. This plan we proposed long ago, and it has been advocated by many of the mountain papers. Something like it should be tried, and his own individual energy and by a desire to promote the interests af this portion of the mountains. His express leaves Downieville on the 5th and 20th of every month, for Sierra Valley, Washoe Valley, Genoa, in Carson Valley, Chinatown, Johntown, Truckee Meadows, Carson City, in Eagle Valley, and Gold Canyon. He intends, the coming summer, to run an express clear through via Salt Lake City to St. Josephs, Missouri. This enterprise will prove the pioneer to a regular mail route through the Yuba Pass to Downieville and Marysville. The Sierra Turnpike Company contemplate extending their road to the gap, ard this will assure the suzcess of the whole route. It is really to be hoped that this magnificent enterprise will be appreciated and assisted by the citizens of our own ridge. Its completion, and the construction of the road from North San Juan to Downieville, which we have heretofore advocated, will place us in direct connection with an important line of emigration and mountain travel; thus facilitating communication and settlement, and investing the towns of this region with a degree of permanence and importance which otherwise they could never enjoy. LEGISLATIVE.—The Senate and Assembly adjourned early last Friday morning to enable members to join in a legislative excursion to Oakland. A large number went, of course, and after being deadheaded down and up the river and at the Bay, returned to the capital fresher, if not wiser men. The prospects of Oakland were not improved by the trip, and on Tuesday the bill providing for the removal of the capital was killed by an Assembly vote of 28 to 30. We gather from the Union a brief abstract of the most interesting transactions since our last issue. The bill establishing a Branch Insane Asylum, which was reconsidered has been again defeated in the Assembly, but Senator Allen has since introduced another bill with the same object: The Senate has passed to engrossment a bill for the establishment of County Infirmaries. The bill allowing the southern counties to separate from the State was passed in the Assembly, but afterwards called up for reconsideration Several petitions for a Sunday law were received. The Senate passed the $50,000 appropriation bill for a wagon road over the Sierra Nevada. The Assembly has under active consideration the bill to pay the army of Gov Johnson. The upper portion of Sierra county has_ been erected into a new county by the name of Alturas. <A bill has been introduced appropriating $10,000 for the construction of a wagon road through Noble’s Pass. The Senate bill to submit to the people whether a convention shall be called to revise the constitution, passed by 25 to6. The Assembly adopted a concurrent resolution asking Congress for a branch mail route from Humboldt that speedily, if we do not wish to see .

Notices.—The Culturist for March has come to hand, filled with its usual valuable hints to tillers of the soil. It should be found side by side with Col. Warren’s Farmer in the dwelling of every California agriculturist. the state disgraced by a succession of ville. . Senator Ballou, of Plumas, has introduced a bill appropriating $20,000 to assist in the completion of a wagon road across the Sierra Nevada, on the line of a road now located and partially completed, commencing at Oroville, and running thence by the way of the ountain House, in Butte county, and Quincy and Indian Valley in Plumas county, to a point on the eastern boundHutching’s Magazine for April con-. ary at or near Honey Lake-— Union tains an article from the pen of Dr. Scott, on “Persia, Past and Present.” ProGreEssinGc.—The Christian Ad. vocate informs us that there are already Alsoa poem of much originality and ' about one hundred and fifty students in atthis place and Marysville did not cost’ vigor by John R.

The break in the ditch was not repaired as soon as was expected, so there has becn some interruption in the supply of water. No companies have cleaned up on San Juan Hillsince last week. The Star Company are about ready to wash through their new shaft, and other claims are in a forward state of preparation. From Cherokee we learn that Dr. Clark & Co. have just completed a tunnel which is five hundred feet long and seventy-five feet in the rock. This will enable them to wash a large amount of valuable ground, and will ultimately afford a vent for adjoining claims on the flat. AtGrizzly Hill a fourth interest in the San Juan claims has been sold for $5,500. To illustrate how mining claims appreciate in value hereabouts, it may be mentioned that a fourth interest in the same ground sold for only $2,500 about six or eight months ago. Since that time considerable washing has been done, and the worth of the ground more nearly ascertained. A correspondent writing from North Bloomfield says that the contractor of the Humbug Flume, who has so jong sighed in vain for water, has, at present, alas ! toomuch ; and the flume—“though lost to sight to memory dear’’—lies buried under six feet of tailings. Every mining locality on the ridge, below the line of deep snow, is abundantly supplied with water, but the extreme cold has kept operations at a stand still, with but few exceptions. Tue Two Rovutes.—lIt is worthy of remark, that while the Placerville and Salt Lake route, where it crosses the mountains, has been closed against the passage of animals for sometime past by deep snow, the route traveled by Langton’s Express through the Yuba gap, has remained open through the whole winter, but one trip being missed. The Territorial Enterprise, published at Genoa, Carson Valley, lays the whole

blame for the closing of the road over the summit upon Major Chorpenning and his agents, who, as_the present severe winter set in, did not take a step towards building mere stations, and providing provisions for the sustenance of men and horses. This, the Enterprise contends, is all that was necessary to keep the road in good traveling condition. This is possibly true; but how much better it would be to have a route not liable to be closed every winter by such contingencies as personal neglect or a single severe storm. VIGILANT SENTINELS.—“Tail Sluice’”’ writes us from Birchville the particulars of a sanguinary incident which occurred on Thursday evening. He says the quiet of that peaceable village was “considerably disturbed by a deed of valor, chivalry and romance combined.” It appears that two honest miners who reside in a cabin which is located on their claims, have been for some time on the constant watch for sluice robbers, fearfully provided with fire-arms in case of necessity. On the evening above-named they heard the steps of a prowling intruder—rushed forth like wolves from their lair, and, witha Minnie rifle, shot dead an individual—of the canine species. Our informant says that the perpetrators of this retributive act immediately left and gave the alarm, but could not be persuaded to return to the scene of slaughter, and are now believed to be on their way to Nevada, to place themselves in the hands of the legal authorities. Mr. M. G. Forsey, says the Oregon Statesman, executed the first printing ever done in Oregon at Lapwaia, in 1844. The first thing printed was the gospel of St Matthew, in the Nez Perce language ; the next was a vocabulary of the Nez Perce and English language. Mr. Forsey also printed, in 1846, the first newspaper issued in California. 1t was published at Monterey, and printed in the English and Spanish language, on a sheet about the size of an or. dinary letter, and wascalled the Californian, Rain TaB.Le.—The following figures show the amount of rain that has fallen from October, 1858, to February, 1859, inclusive,in four of the principal poirts in the State: Months.

His death was caused by an injury received while working in a tunnel. Mr. Barney was a young man possessing many very excellent traits of character, and was very highly esteemed by all whoknuew him. Hissufferings were very severe, but were borne with fortitude—so much so that hopes were entertained of his recovery until within a few hours of his death. A short time before he died he called his brother to his bedside, told him he was going, embraced him af. fectionately, saying—“Dont leave me,” and in a few minutes the weary wheels of life stood still, and the disembodied spirit took its flight into a world of spiritsHopes are entertaincd that his soul reats with God.
