Ist. at the San Juan Brewe:y where a large number of Turkeys will be shot for. All the crack shotsin the countsy ee es ee Batu No. 4.—We stated last week, that it had ; been Mr. Henry Arnold’s intention to give his : Ball on the 22d inst., but that he changed it to ; the evening of Wednesday, Sept. 12th, in order ; that he might not interfere with others who were ' giving similar entertainments. His Ball will . occur at the last named time. The ride up the’ Ridge, and the scenery when one gets to Arnold’s Ranch, are of such an inviting character, that . we opine there will be a large turn-out of ladies and gentlemen, to participate in the festivities . promised. Joun R. RipGe.—The personal and political exceedingly difficult to pipe. A great deal of digging has to be done, and the use of the derrick is found to be indispensable. The average depth of these diggings from the surface, is about 140 feet. They commence on the southwest of . the town of Wolsey, and sweep round in a north; ern semicircle, touching at the southeast of the . town, and extending some distance on towards . the east. The front of the hill, or “flat,” is torn entirely away, leaving an immense front of particolored earths exposed, and looking out upon a long ravine-stretch, far below. Among the best of the paying claims here, may be enumerated the “‘Last Chance,” claims ; going, generous and difficult to beat of any in the State. Therefore we can promise, that ---eH. D. Mulholland has been elected watchman of the town..The Live Yankee Company cleaned up last week 280 ounces. The Oreverything connected with the approaching . egon 90 ounces.—Sierra Democrat. Fair, will be introduced and maintained in a style that must do ample honor to the . G-r-e-a-t North of California. Of the PaVilion we need not speak. Its capaciousness, its convenience, and its interior decorations and arrangements have been studied, and will doubtless be appreciated by people of good taste, come from what quarter they . may. Of course, as in 1858 and 1859, it will again be chock full of the products and representatives of the agricultural and horticultural wealth of the northern counties. The grounds appropriated to the exhibifriends of this gentleman, we learn, intend to; the “Boston Diggings,” belonging to Messrs. . tion of domestic animals, we learn, are to be press his appointment as one of the Douglas Electors for California. We know very little ubout the honors and emoluments attached to . the position of a member of an Electoral Col. lege, but we do know, that if any man in the} State is entitled to high consideration by the . partisans of the “Little Giant,” Mr. Ridge is that man. As we utterly eschew polities, this matter may not perhaps be regarded as any especial part of our business; but we love and honor Mr. Ridge, as one who, although a party politician, is too noble, too honorable, too intelligent and too well educated to be anything else than a highminded gentleman, who reflects luster upon the editorial profession. The friends of Douglas . need not be told that Mr. Ridge was the first editor in California who boldly hoisted the flag of their favorite, which he has ever since sustained with unbending constancy and courage. We say, then, let his name be placed on the Electoral Ticket by all means. A MovuntTAIN GaRDEN.—Mr. Henry Arnold, of Lake City, has a garden containing three and a half acres, which, for the high state of its cultivation, the variety of its products, and the enormous growth attained by its vegetables, is certainly equal, if not superior to any other vegetable gardenin the county. To particularize, would merely be to reiterate the old story of squashes weighing from 40 to 90 lbs., beets 20 and 30 inches in circumference, cucumbers 18 and 20 inches long, potatoes beyond calculation to the acre, ete. Already, Mr. Arnold has sold over four hundred dollars worth of stuff, and none of his vegetables—excepting peas—have arrived at maturity. He calculates to realize froma $2,000 to $2,500 from the the entire yield of the garden ; and next year, if fortune should favor, enlarge its capacity to bring a return cf double that amount of revenue. RepvuBiican NoMINaTIONS—The Republican County Convention which assembled at Nevada on Wednesday last, made the following nominations: For Senavor, John J. Sykes. For Assemblymen, J. S. Perkins, of Washington; E. W. Councilman, of Eureka; John M. Avery, of Little York; Jeremiah Watts, of Bridgeport ; and E. F. Spence, of Nevada. For Supervisor “of the District composed of Little York, Grass Valley and Rough and Ready, Dr. O. H. P. Sheets, of Grass Valley. For members of the County Central Committee, W. H. Smith, of Omega; George Flint, of Rough and Ready; P. E. Jeffries, of Moore’s Flat ; Thomas Cary, of Relief Hill; L. L. Whitjng, of Grass Valley; D. D. Brunk, of Chero: kee; J.C. Garber, of Little York; A. A. Sargent, W. H. Crawford and E. F. Bean, of Nevada. o AccIDENT 10 Dr. WEAVER.—Dr. James Weaver, proprietor of the Ditch bearing his name, was riding through the flume of that work, about eight miles above Eureka, one day last week, Sewell & Gallagher; the “XIX,” diggings, several times larger than heretofore, and a. orchard is on owned by Col. Whitman and Pleasant Wells; the “Blue Ravine,” or Wheeler Diggings; and the claims of Mr. W. H. Lawrence. These do not embrace one-half the whole number of valuable claims, but they were all that our limited time would permit us to visit. We were inform. ed by an intelligent gentleman, however, that the gold product of Wolsey’s Flat for each sucmuch more extensive bippodrome will be; provided for the fair equestriennes who may choose to witch the world with feats of noble horsewomanship. Tbe hotels and boarding houses have arranged to put on no not be apprehensive of un-fair treatment. Suasta.—A paper called the Argus, has been started at Horsetown—Jas. L. Hart, editor and proprietor. The miners in its vicinity are represented as doing well. Two mules were killed by the brake of a wagon giving way while going down a hill. Piumas.—Last Saturday the Sunday School children to the number of about forty, assembled in a grove near Quincy, and had a fine picnic. Monday morning there was a sharp frost at Quincy.-.A traveler was stopped half way between Onion Valley and Nelson Point Monday last, by three men in masks, who detained him on the plea that they had urgent business with the train. The man was placed under guard of one of the company, and the other two went forward to await the train, which, proving stronger than anticipated, they concluded not to attack. They then released the prisoner.—Argus. AMADOR.—Last year Humphrey Taylor,whose the Cosumnes, near Daylor’s ranch obtained $13,000 from the sale of his crop ofapples. His orchard will yield this year about 200 tons of saleable apples..A few nights since a Mexican whom Constable McCormick had arrested in Drytown, was shot by that officer and fatally wounded. He died on Thursday evening. --++Near French Camp, in the Fiddletown dis‘extra prices, and visitors to the Fair need . iTt, three bee trees were discovered recently. Butte.—Some miserable thief entered the sleeping room of the editor of the Butte Democessive fortnight, averages from $30,000 to. The people of Marysville have acquired an . crat, while he was asleep, and robbed him of $1 $35,000. Just above Wolsey’s, with a wide ravine divid. ing them, is Moore’s Flat; and about the same distance from Moore’s, also with a ravine between them, is Orleans Flat. An excellent road connects the three places, and an hourly line of spring wagons enables the separate citizens to be in familiar intercourse. The diggings at Moore’s : Flat, are about of the same character as at Wol, sey’s. Messrs. Jones & Beck, who work from 40 to 80 . hands in their diggings. We had no opportunity to visit Orleans, but . hope to do justice to its mining features hereafter. ae eae id Lake City--On and Over the “Ridge.” From the time one leaves San Juan, in making the journey to Moore’s Flat, every foot.of ground , is interesting. There is a succession of ridges, ; or, rather, an almost unbroken continuity of ; ridge. Indeed, the residents at either extremity speak of it as “The Ridge,” “up the Ridge,” . “on the Ridge,” etc. Now, all admirers of the picturesque in scenery must know, that these vertebral roads—particu. ticularly when they traverse the tops of towering . mountaims—afford a feast for the eye which is» seldom realised without inspiring emotions akin . to sublimity. Nowhere in the State, nor perhaps . in any other State of the Union, is a better op. portunity presented for the gratification of a . thrill—yes, positively, a thrifl of delight—than — ascending and pursuing the twenty miles of . space which has already been indicated. At one time the traveler is looking off tothe right. The red an¢-ragged earth of prosperous mining claims is seen on the distant hills, surmounted with sinuous ditches and skeleton flumes, emptying their watery volume adown their broken and abrased sides. Farbelow, in the abysmal depths of echoing gullies, where the stature of man is no longer definable, bowl-like reservoirs, white sands and gleaming boulders, form a comingled spectacle ; and the sound¢of the blast goes booming througi: the pines, to arrest attention, aad add variety to the scene. Again, he directs his gaze to the left. Impenetrable forests are before him, sweeping down into the ravines, and casting a shadowy gloom along the water-courses. And straight ahead, on the Ridge, the road passes through forests of pine, under the sladows of pleasant oak groves, with somethitg new at every angle, to attract and occupy the attention. Half-way of this delightful journey, on the . enviable reputation for their hospitality, which they will not consent to lose to grati_ fy the avarice of unybody. During the week of the Fair—and it will be a week of weeks for Marysville—there will beabundance of intellectual amusement The Theater will be opened by Mr. George Ryer, with a histrionic troupe, and there and merry-makings. The Pavilion all day will sparkle with platoons and battalions of Eve’s fairest daughters. This is a® attraction worthy of being considered. Our county of Nevada has a deep stake in this ‘Fair of the Northern District of California,”’ and we hope our people will not oe oblivious to an affair in which they have . such a great and abiding interest. Who can surpass us Nevadans in peaches, in upples, in pears, in plums, in melons, in pumpkins, in squashes, in potatoes, in tomatoes, in maize, in stalwart men, in beautiful wo men,and in wholesome, double-fisted babies? Who, indeed! We pause fora reply. No reply being vouchsafed, let all those who can, go to the Fair, and insure for themselves a week of happiness among the generous spirits of Marysville. eo Po.ttics AT Moore’s FLat.—The politicians of the mountains are beginning to stir. At Moore’s Flat the Breckenridge and Lane men have suspended their colors—that is to say, a lengthy strip of canvas containing the names of their candidates—across one of the prominent streets, where it can be easily seen and read by the resident and wayfarer. The Douglas and Johnson men have a banner suspended across the same street, lower down, also annourcing their Presidential preferences. The Lincoln and Hamli men are yet to be heard from. There are at least three ex-Assemblymen and ex-Senators residing here, viz: §. H. Chase, (exSenator,) and John Caldwell and H. Hayes, (exAssemblymen.) Now, these gentlemen alone, considering their talents, ought to keep a reading commranity like Moore’s Flat, in a constant state of political fermentation—provided their positions are in any manner antagonistic, a fact ‘of which we yet remain in ignorance. 75.---Oroville has about 2,500 inhabitants.. Three horsesand one mule were stolen at Oro. ville last Sunday night. ----—--——-© A Paris letter states that a pistol ball was found in one of Prince Jerome Bonaparte’s lungs after death, which had been lodged there more than fifty years ago in a duel with a brother of Marshall Davoust. < ~--—e-@-e——_ Iron tn WasHor.—S, A.

Ist. at the San Juan Brewe:y where a large number of Turkeys will be shot for. All the crack shotsin the countsy ee es ee Batu No. 4.—We stated last week, that it had ; been Mr. Henry Arnold’s intention to give his : Ball on the 22d inst., but that he changed it to ; the evening of Wednesday, Sept. 12th, in order ; that he might not interfere with others who were ' giving similar entertainments. His Ball will . occur at the last named time. The ride up the’ Ridge, and the scenery when one gets to Arnold’s Ranch, are of such an inviting character, that . we opine there will be a large turn-out of ladies and gentlemen, to participate in the festivities . promised. Joun R. RipGe.—The personal and political exceedingly difficult to pipe. A great deal of digging has to be done, and the use of the derrick is found to be indispensable. The average depth of these diggings from the surface, is about 140 feet. They commence on the southwest of . the town of Wolsey, and sweep round in a north; ern semicircle, touching at the southeast of the . town, and extending some distance on towards . the east. The front of the hill, or “flat,” is torn entirely away, leaving an immense front of particolored earths exposed, and looking out upon a long ravine-stretch, far below. Among the best of the paying claims here, may be enumerated the “‘Last Chance,” claims ; going, generous and difficult to beat of any in the State. Therefore we can promise, that ---eH. D. Mulholland has been elected watchman of the town....The Live Yankee Company cleaned up last week 280 ounces. The Oreverything connected with the approaching . egon 90 ounces.—Sierra Democrat. Fair, will be introduced and maintained in a style that must do ample honor to the . G-r-e-a-t North of California. Of the PaVilion we need not speak. Its capaciousness, its convenience, and its interior decorations and arrangements have been studied, and will doubtless be appreciated by people of good taste, come from what quarter they . may. Of course, as in 1858 and 1859, it will again be chock full of the products and representatives of the agricultural and horticultural wealth of the northern counties. The grounds appropriated to the exhibifriends of this gentleman, we learn, intend to; the “Boston Diggings,” belonging to Messrs. . tion of domestic animals, we learn, are to be press his appointment as one of the Douglas Electors for California. We know very little ubout the honors and emoluments attached to . the position of a member of an Electoral Col. lege, but we do know, that if any man in the} State is entitled to high consideration by the . partisans of the “Little Giant,” Mr. Ridge is that man. As we utterly eschew polities, this matter may not perhaps be regarded as any especial part of our business; but we love and honor Mr. Ridge, as one who, although a party politician, is too noble, too honorable, too intelligent and too well educated to be anything else than a highminded gentleman, who reflects luster upon the editorial profession. The friends of Douglas . need not be told that Mr. Ridge was the first editor in California who boldly hoisted the flag of their favorite, which he has ever since sustained with unbending constancy and courage. We say, then, let his name be placed on the Electoral Ticket by all means. A MovuntTAIN GaRDEN.—Mr. Henry Arnold, of Lake City, has a garden containing three and a half acres, which, for the high state of its cultivation, the variety of its products, and the enormous growth attained by its vegetables, is certainly equal, if not superior to any other vegetable gardenin the county. To particularize, would merely be to reiterate the old story of squashes weighing from 40 to 90 lbs., beets 20 and 30 inches in circumference, cucumbers 18 and 20 inches long, potatoes beyond calculation to the acre, ete. Already, Mr. Arnold has sold over four hundred dollars worth of stuff, and none of his vegetables—excepting peas—have arrived at maturity. He calculates to realize froma $2,000 to $2,500 from the the entire yield of the garden ; and next year, if fortune should favor, enlarge its capacity to bring a return cf double that amount of revenue. RepvuBiican NoMINaTIONS—The Republican County Convention which assembled at Nevada on Wednesday last, made the following nominations: For Senavor, John J. Sykes. For Assemblymen, J. S. Perkins, of Washington; E. W. Councilman, of Eureka; John M. Avery, of Little York; Jeremiah Watts, of Bridgeport ; and E. F. Spence, of Nevada. For Supervisor “of the District composed of Little York, Grass Valley and Rough and Ready, Dr. O. H. P. Sheets, of Grass Valley. For members of the County Central Committee, W. H. Smith, of Omega; George Flint, of Rough and Ready; P. E. Jeffries, of Moore’s Flat ; Thomas Cary, of Relief Hill; L. L. Whitjng, of Grass Valley; D. D. Brunk, of Chero: kee; J.C. Garber, of Little York; A. A. Sargent, W. H. Crawford and E. F. Bean, of Nevada. o AccIDENT 10 Dr. WEAVER.—Dr. James Weaver, proprietor of the Ditch bearing his name, was riding through the flume of that work, about eight miles above Eureka, one day last week, Sewell & Gallagher; the “XIX,” diggings, several times larger than heretofore, and a. orchard is on owned by Col. Whitman and Pleasant Wells; the “Blue Ravine,” or Wheeler Diggings; and the claims of Mr. W. H. Lawrence. These do not embrace one-half the whole number of valuable claims, but they were all that our limited time would permit us to visit. We were inform. ed by an intelligent gentleman, however, that the gold product of Wolsey’s Flat for each sucmuch more extensive bippodrome will be; provided for the fair equestriennes who may choose to witch the world with feats of noble horsewomanship. Tbe hotels and boarding houses have arranged to put on no not be apprehensive of un-fair treatment. Suasta.—A paper called the Argus, has been started at Horsetown—Jas. L. Hart, editor and proprietor. The miners in its vicinity are represented as doing well. Two mules were killed by the brake of a wagon giving way while going down a hill. Piumas.—Last Saturday the Sunday School children to the number of about forty, assembled in a grove near Quincy, and had a fine picnic.. Monday morning there was a sharp frost at Quincy..-.A traveler was stopped half way between Onion Valley and Nelson Point Monday last, by three men in masks, who detained him on the plea that they had urgent business with the train. The man was placed under guard of one of the company, and the other two went forward to await the train, which, proving stronger than anticipated, they concluded not to attack. They then released the prisoner.—Argus. AMADOR.—Last year Humphrey Taylor,whose the Cosumnes, near Daylor’s ranch obtained $13,000 from the sale of his crop ofapples. His orchard will yield this year about 200 tons of saleable apples....A few nights since a Mexican whom Constable McCormick had arrested in Drytown, was shot by that officer and fatally wounded. He died on Thursday evening. --++Near French Camp, in the Fiddletown dis‘extra prices, and visitors to the Fair need . iTt, three bee trees were discovered recently. Butte.—Some miserable thief entered the sleeping room of the editor of the Butte Democessive fortnight, averages from $30,000 to. The people of Marysville have acquired an . crat, while he was asleep, and robbed him of $1 $35,000. Just above Wolsey’s, with a wide ravine divid. ing them, is Moore’s Flat; and about the same distance from Moore’s, also with a ravine between them, is Orleans Flat. An excellent road connects the three places, and an hourly line of spring wagons enables the separate citizens to be in familiar intercourse. The diggings at Moore’s : Flat, are about of the same character as at Wol, sey’s. Messrs. Jones & Beck, who work from 40 to 80 . hands in their diggings. We had no opportunity to visit Orleans, but . hope to do justice to its mining features hereafter. ae eae id Lake City--On and Over the “Ridge.” From the time one leaves San Juan, in making the journey to Moore’s Flat, every foot.of ground , is interesting. There is a succession of ridges, ; or, rather, an almost unbroken continuity of ; ridge. Indeed, the residents at either extremity speak of it as “The Ridge,” “up the Ridge,” . “on the Ridge,” etc. Now, all admirers of the picturesque in scenery must know, that these vertebral roads—particu. ticularly when they traverse the tops of towering . mountaims—afford a feast for the eye which is» seldom realised without inspiring emotions akin . to sublimity. Nowhere in the State, nor perhaps . in any other State of the Union, is a better op. portunity presented for the gratification of a . thrill—yes, positively, a thrifl of delight—than — ascending and pursuing the twenty miles of . space which has already been indicated. At one time the traveler is looking off tothe right. The red an¢-ragged earth of prosperous mining claims is seen on the distant hills, surmounted with sinuous ditches and skeleton flumes, emptying their watery volume adown their broken and abrased sides. Farbelow, in the abysmal depths of echoing gullies, where the stature of man is no longer definable, bowl-like reservoirs, white sands and gleaming boulders, form a comingled spectacle ; and the sound¢of the blast goes booming througi: the pines, to arrest attention, aad add variety to the scene. Again, he directs his gaze to the left. Impenetrable forests are before him, sweeping down into the ravines, and casting a shadowy gloom along the water-courses. And straight ahead, on the Ridge, the road passes through forests of pine, under the sladows of pleasant oak groves, with somethitg new at every angle, to attract and occupy the attention. Half-way of this delightful journey, on the . enviable reputation for their hospitality, which they will not consent to lose to grati_ fy the avarice of unybody. During the week of the Fair—and it will be a week of weeks for Marysville—there will beabundance of intellectual amusement The Theater will be opened by Mr. George

Ryer, with a histrionic troupe, and there and merry-makings. The Pavilion all day will sparkle with platoons and battalions of Eve’s fairest daughters. This is a® attraction worthy of being considered. Our county of Nevada has a deep stake in this ‘Fair of the Northern District of California,”’ and we hope our people will not oe oblivious to an affair in which they have . such a great and abiding interest. Who can surpass us Nevadans in peaches, in upples, in pears, in plums, in melons, in pumpkins, in squashes, in potatoes, in tomatoes, in maize, in stalwart men, in beautiful wo men,and in wholesome, double-fisted babies? Who, indeed! We pause fora reply. No reply being vouchsafed, let all those who can, go to the Fair, and insure for themselves a week of happiness among the generous spirits of Marysville. eo Po.ttics AT Moore’s FLat.—The politicians of the mountains are beginning to stir. At Moore’s Flat the Breckenridge and Lane men have suspended their colors—that is to say, a lengthy strip of canvas containing the names of their candidates—across one of the prominent streets, where it can be easily seen and read by the resident and wayfarer. The Douglas and Johnson men have a banner suspended across the same street, lower down, also annourcing their Presidential preferences. The Lincoln and Hamli men are yet to be heard from. There are at least three ex-Assemblymen and ex-Senators residing here, viz: §. H. Chase, (exSenator,) and John Caldwell and H. Hayes, (exAssemblymen.) Now, these gentlemen alone, considering their talents, ought to keep a reading commranity like Moore’s Flat, in a constant state of political fermentation—provided their positions are in any manner antagonistic, a fact ‘of which we yet remain in ignorance. 75.---Oroville has about 2,500 inhabitants...
