The houses are not crowd~ ed on one long street, but divided amongst several short ones. The situation of the town is exceedingly picturesque—a large flat, or bluff, surrounded by-wooded hills, yet not shut out from an extensive prospect of mountain peaks, and hazy outlines of far-stretching sierras and, profound cations, and vistas ‘through groves of mossy cedar. The sub stantial resources of the place are equal ‘o ‘its natural charms. Some of the richest ‘gold mines in the State are there, as we shall . prove by details hereafter. Tunnels runtning into the gravel deposit 1,800 feet demonstrate the richness of it thus far, and claims well opened on the outer rim of the flat yield most flattering returns. Most probably the paying dirt will be found to extend into the main ridge. Moore's Flat has an estimated population of 500, and it is thought will poll 360 votes at the coming election. Daily stages, and a branch of Langtou’s Express under the competent charge of Mr. H. Hoffman, connect it with the outside world. ——_—_————+“Time 17 was Stoprep.—Full ‘particulars rare given elsewhere in this issue of the mur«der of the Chinaman Ah Kett. We desire to ‘allude here to one circumstance connected with the affair that deserves especial notice. The unjustifiable conduct of the road Overseer, in stopping a traveler upon the bighway and taking from him a hired horse, in spite of explanation and protest, deserves strong reprobation. Itis but another inStance of the official tyranny so commonly inflicted upon the Chinese, merely because they are a feeble and contemned race in whose favor it is hard to arouse cither legal ; or popular sympathy. The horse was kept in the stable three or four days until the owner applied for it, and even then, we are told, O’Brien wanted the Chinaman to pay the cost of the animal's feed! We really Thope.toJearn that we have been misinformed, \but bardly .expect it, as our information ‘comes from a direct and positive source. It is time that the petty officers of the law were taug@y to respect human rights, even when represented in the person of a des_pised and helpless Chinaman. Ais RA DowsievitLe.—-The Mountain Messenger of tthe 6th inst. contains a lengthy and interestting sketch of Downieville, from .which we Nearn the diggings -at that famous locality were discoverd by Mr. Frank Anderson, now a, resident and postmaster of-the place, in-Sep-; ‘tember, 1849, at-what is now known as the. 'Blue Bank diggings, one-half a mile above 'the,present.town.site. Major Downie, afte ‘whom the town was’ named in May 1850 built one of the first cabins there. He is now in British Columbia.-Sierra Woodhall ‘is the name of the first child born in Dowmieville, and she made her first appearaace -on the stage of babydom in 1851. The town now contains many families and a total population of about one thousand. RE Ss CONG c-Fes BU Oa CotumBia Hitt.—The mining strike at this yplace continues, yet the village exhibits unrusual vitality. The new exhibition hall of tthe Messrs. McDonald is nearly completed. HItis to be lathed and plastered—a rare thing iin‘the mountains, and will be superior to anything in San.Juan. In compliance with petition of citizens a,post office isto be established at Columbia Hill immediately, with Levi Ayres for Post Master. The mail will be carried via San Juan; as soon as a contract can be made. W. P. Wilkins, the alleged seduccr of ‘Hattie May, was shot by the girl's father on ‘the 8th inst., whilst addressing a political meeting at White’s Ferry. Heis not sup“posed to be dangerously wounded. Mr. May “was to have undergone a legal examination -on the 10th inst., at Yuba City, but no witnesses appearing against him he was discharged. Wilkins asserts his innocence, .and it is to be hoped he may prove it. The managers of the Magenta Flume fesrtival made ample provisions for feeding the horses of guests free of charge, and will be rmortified to learn that some thieving scoundrel fed their barley to animals and charged visitors two dollars a horse, which was unsuspectingly paid. The dishonest trick should not go unnoticed. eentilphiepetagpneerenenesnt i nlipeereerraenarstreseneneninentiaiaie Preaching at the Methodist church every ‘Sunday as usual, by Reverends Cramer and ‘Seymour.

Aqueduct by some enthusiastic Frenchmen . engaged in its construction, is twelve hundred feet long from hill to hill, with a hight in the center of one hundred and twenty-five fect, the width of box through which the water is to flow being six feet. The timbers employed in its construction were all hewed from pines growing directly on or near the spot, and the uprights are all single pieces. It is not probable that unspliced timbers 125 feet long,1Ginches square at one end tapering to 9inches at the other, could be procured anywhere else than on the coast of the North; Pacific—yet the mountain ridges of Califor-! i nia are crowded with trees that would yield: { flume have a spread at the ground of 30 feet; melting into air. even larger timbers.

The entire structure,’ as one views it from a short distaace, looks. massive yet graceful, and as theugh jit-could not be overturned by anything less powerful than a hurricane. It is not built ina straight line across the Gap, but sinuously, following the windings of the ground, which is ssid to increase its strength. The water box is not sided up with boards, but with solid, stringers sixteen inches high by nine in width, the grade of the flume being sufficient to carry through 2,000 inches of water.— The absence of high sides greatly reduces the danger to be apprehended from winds, and with the same object in view the whole} work has fewer timbers about it than any’ flume in the State. It was designed, and its construction superintended by Mons. Foucherie, and cost about $10,000. The Grounds were prepared for the festival with much tasteand regard to convenience. <A pavilion; thirty feet wide, sixteen feet high and several hundred feet long, composed of evergreen bushes and having an arched roof, was built. immediately under the flume between the trestles, and divided into dining, dressing and dancing apartments, which were decorated with wreaths, flags, and appropriate mottoes. Canvas booths were put up here and there, and drove a brisk trade in fruits, nuts, cigars and liquors. A platform for the orators was erected facing the flume, and in front of it benches enough to seat a large audicnce. Evergreen trees had been transplanted at interrals over the ground and green.mounds heaped about them. The Gap is a very pleasant little valley, commanding a.noble view of mountain peaks and piney gorges, and cooled by breezes blowing from the very summit of the Sierra Nevada. Those who went across the flume had a grand display of scenery itogaze upon. In one direc‘tion -codidtbe seen the rugged peaks of the Sierra Buttes, sharply outlined on the sky, and long blue lines of distant mountaius. In another the.town of; Minnesota could be seen clinging to the side. of a steep ridge like -a bird’s nest; and on. turning around,there were:the wavy outlines. of the-ridge dividing Deer Creek and the: South Yuba. Immediately beneath the spec-) tator was an ampitheater of pine-clad hills, circliag-an animated.sceneof human festivity. Visitors from ‘all parts.of the cogaty: flocked to the scene from an early hour in the day until late im the evening, when up wards-of a ‘thousand ‘persons were on the ground. At about 5 o'clock Gov. J. B. Wellerand Hon. C. L. Scott arrived from San Juan, whére they spoke the night before, and were received with a salute of artillery. Some one proposed three cheers for the Goyernor, which were given by the entire as-’ semblage with right good will. A number of the county officials were on the ground and numerous candidates also honored the. occasion with their condescending presence. Hoisting the Colors. Preparations were now made for hoisting the national colors of France and the United States, which were attached to two flag staffs each about fifty feet long. These staffs were slowly raised from the highest part of the flume, where they had been lying, by the same machinery that was employed in raising the timbers of the flume itself; and as they went up the band played “The Star Spangled Banner,” the “Marseilles Hymn,” and other stirring strains, while guns were fired in rapid succession and the spectators gave cheer after cheer. At last the staffs stood erect, and the French and American flags streamed out on the blue sky one hundred and seventy five feet abovethe earth—a beautiful spectacle, that excited renewed enthusiasm. The Addresses. Thecrowd now gathered around the speaker’s stand, which was occupied by C. Wilson Hill, Esq.,as Chairman, R. B. Moyes, Esq., Orator of the Day, S. V. Hardesty, Marshal, the builder of the aqueduct, and several prominent members of theEureka Lake Ditch . Company. Mr. Hardesty made some introductory remarks, explaining the object of the festival and describing the flume. Mr. Moyes was then introduced by the Chairman, and proceeded to deliver an address of much interest. He said that in the days of the turning victers by triumphal arches and ' successful completion of a useful enterprise. . t of peace. . . This section, christened the Magenta .

The ball was numerously attended, about 250 tickets having beensold, and dancing was kept up until daybreak with the greatest zest. The pavilions and booths were brilliantly illuminated with tri colored lanterns,and fires were burning on the hills; so that the scene in the Gap was brilliant and attractive, and such as,in that far mountain nook, was never witnessed before.

The situation of the town is exceedingly picturesque—a large flat, or bluff, surrounded by-wooded hills, yet not shut out from an extensive prospect of mountain peaks, and hazy outlines of far-stretching sierras and, profound cations, and vistas ‘through groves of mossy cedar. The sub stantial resources of the place are equal ‘o ‘its natural charms. Some of the richest ‘gold mines in the State are there, as we shall . prove by details hereafter. Tunnels runtning into the gravel deposit 1,800 feet demonstrate the richness of it thus far, and claims well opened on the outer rim of the flat yield most flattering returns. Most probably the paying dirt will be found to extend into the main ridge. Moore's Flat has an estimated population of 500, and it is thought will poll 360 votes at the coming election. Daily stages, and a branch of Langtou’s Express under the competent charge of Mr. H. Hoffman, connect it with the outside world. ——_—_————+“Time 17 was Stoprep.—Full ‘particulars rare given elsewhere in this issue of the mur«der of the Chinaman Ah Kett. We desire to ‘allude here to one circumstance connected with the affair that deserves especial notice. The unjustifiable conduct of the road Overseer, in stopping a traveler upon the bighway and taking from him a hired horse, in spite of explanation and protest, deserves strong reprobation. Itis but another inStance of the official tyranny so commonly inflicted upon the Chinese, merely because they are a feeble and contemned race in whose favor it is hard to arouse cither legal ; or popular sympathy. The horse was kept in the stable three or four days until the owner applied for it, and even then, we are told, O’Brien wanted the Chinaman to pay the cost of the animal's feed! We really Thope.toJearn that we have been misinformed, \but bardly .expect it, as our information ‘comes from a direct and positive source. It is time that the petty officers of the law were taug@y to respect human rights, even when represented in the person of a des_pised and helpless Chinaman.

Mr. May “was to have undergone a legal examination -on the 10th inst., at Yuba City, but no witnesses appearing against him he was discharged. Wilkins asserts his innocence, .and it is to be hoped he may prove it. The managers of the Magenta Flume fesrtival made ample provisions for feeding the horses of guests free of charge, and will be rmortified to learn that some thieving scoundrel fed their barley to animals and charged visitors two dollars a horse, which was unsuspectingly paid.

Aqueduct by some enthusiastic Frenchmen . engaged in its construction, is twelve hundred feet long from hill to hill, with a hight in the center of one hundred and twenty-five fect, the width of box through which the water is to flow being six feet. The timbers employed in its construction were all hewed from pines growing directly on or near the spot, and the uprights are all single pieces. It is not probable that unspliced timbers 125 feet long,1Ginches square at one end tapering to 9inches at the other, could be procured anywhere else than on the coast of the North; Pacific—yet the mountain ridges of Califor-! i nia are crowded with trees that would yield: { flume have a spread at the ground of 30 feet; melting into air. even larger timbers.

The entire structure,’ as one views it from a short distaace, looks. massive yet graceful, and as theugh jit-could not be overturned by anything less powerful than a hurricane. It is not built ina straight line across the Gap, but sinuously, following the windings of the ground, which is ssid to increase its strength. The water box is not sided up with boards, but with solid, stringers sixteen inches high by nine in width, the grade of the flume being sufficient to carry through 2,000 inches of water.— The absence of high sides greatly reduces the danger to be apprehended from winds, and with the same object in view the whole} work has fewer timbers about it than any’ flume in the State. It was designed, and its construction superintended by Mons. Foucherie, and cost about $10,000. The Grounds were prepared for the festival with much tasteand regard to convenience. <A pavilion; thirty feet wide, sixteen feet high and several hundred feet long, composed of evergreen bushes and having an arched roof, was built. immediately under the flume between the trestles, and divided into dining, dressing and dancing apartments, which were decorated with wreaths, flags, and appropriate mottoes. Canvas booths were put up here and there, and drove a brisk trade in fruits, nuts, cigars and liquors. A platform for the orators was erected facing the flume, and in front of it benches enough to seat a large audicnce. Evergreen trees had been transplanted at interrals over the ground and green.mounds heaped about them. The Gap is a very pleasant little valley, commanding a.noble view of mountain peaks and piney gorges, and cooled by breezes blowing from the very summit of the Sierra Nevada. Those who went across the flume had a grand display of scenery itogaze upon. In one direc‘tion -codidtbe seen the rugged peaks of the Sierra Buttes, sharply outlined on the sky, and long blue lines of distant mountaius. In another the.town of; Minnesota could be seen clinging to the side. of a steep ridge like -a bird’s nest; and on. turning around,there were:the wavy outlines. of the-ridge dividing Deer Creek and the: South Yuba. Immediately beneath the spec-) tator was an ampitheater of pine-clad hills, circliag-an animated.sceneof human festivity. Visitors from ‘all parts.of the cogaty: flocked to the scene from an early hour in the day until late im the evening, when up wards-of a ‘thousand ‘persons were on the ground. At about 5 o'clock Gov. J. B. Wellerand Hon. C. L. Scott arrived from San Juan, whére they spoke the night before, and were received with a salute of artillery. Some one proposed three cheers for the Goyernor, which were given by the entire as-’ semblage with right good will. A number of the county officials were on the ground and numerous candidates also honored the. occasion with their condescending presence. Hoisting the Colors. Preparations were now made for hoisting the national colors of France and the United States, which were attached to two flag staffs each about fifty feet long. These staffs were slowly raised from the highest part of the flume, where they had been lying, by the same machinery that was employed in raising the timbers of the flume itself; and as they went up the band played “The Star Spangled Banner,” the “Marseilles Hymn,” and other stirring strains, while guns were fired in rapid succession and the spectators gave cheer after cheer. At last the staffs stood erect, and the French and American flags streamed out on the blue sky one hundred and seventy five feet abovethe earth—a beautiful spectacle, that excited renewed enthusiasm. The Addresses. Thecrowd now gathered around the speaker’s stand, which was occupied by C. Wilson Hill, Esq.,as Chairman, R. B. Moyes, Esq., Orator of the Day, S. V. Hardesty, Marshal, the builder of the aqueduct, and several prominent members of theEureka Lake Ditch . Company. Mr. Hardesty made some introductory remarks, explaining the object of the festival and describing the flume. Mr. Moyes was then introduced by the Chairman, and proceeded to deliver an address of much interest. He said that in the days of the turning victers by triumphal arches and ' successful completion of a useful enterprise. . t of peace. . . This section, christened the Magenta .

The ball was numerously attended, about 250 tickets having beensold, and dancing was kept up until daybreak with the greatest zest. The pavilions and booths were brilliantly illuminated with tri colored lanterns,and fires were burning on the hills; so that the scene in the Gap was brilliant and attractive, and such as,in that far mountain nook, was never witnessed before. We are glad to conclude this account with the statement that no drunkenness nor rioting marred the pleas-. ure of an occasion that had drawn together so many people under circumstances not favorable to self-restraint. ——___ ——_—_—__ + @< The people of Carson Valley and adjacent border localities held a convention at Genoa on the 18th of July, continuing until the 28th, and adopted a novelty which they call a Territotial Constitution, separating themselves from Utah by « formal declaration, and callingon the Federal government and their fellow citizens in every part of the Union for support and protection.
