He was cordially received at Placerville on the 30th ul*., znd expressed his thanks in an cloquent and interesting speech, giving an account of his overland trip and his ideas on the subject of the railroad. He was warmly received at Folsom, by citizens generally anda committee from Sacramento, making a few remarks explanatory of the object of his visit. He was put through the martyrdom of another public reception at the Capital, on Monday the Ist inst. acknowledged the compliment in a happy speech, and made a long address at Dr. Benton’s church in the evening. His topic was chiefly the Pacific Railroad, and his ideas upon the subject, as reported in the Union, are marked by all the good sense, directness and practicability which characterise the man. He said, among other things, that “the bill for a Pacific Railroad must decide nothing about localities—a road is all that is needed. The Government of iiself must not build it—it cannot do so economically. The way. will be to advertise for proposals, and say thet the company which will give security in a given time at the smallest cost to the Government ean have it. Make your own location—give one mile to the contractors on each side of the track on the main Tine, not following the curve, and let them bid against each other and the lowest take it. They shall.agree also-to convey the Government’s rails, troops and munitions of war atlow prices. In this way, and on these conditions, he believed fifty millions of dollars out of the treasury would build it, and before that amount was expended it would come back in duties on the products used. It would be built in ten years and the Government would have the cost of it in its treasury.” pair rwueher of oe Cazstn Burvep.—The last Nevada Democrat states thatthe cabin of Messrs. Rogers, Rule, and Williams, on Christmas Hill, about half a mile from Little York, caught fire on Tuesday night of Ias¢ week, and was entirely eonsumed with its contents. The owners, who were sleeping in the cabin, were aroused about twelve o'clock, fading the cabin on fire, and being nearby suffocated. There was no way to get out except through the door, and as the door was on the side of the cabin that was on fire, the unfortunate men were compelled to rush through the flames. They were all terribly burned. but are now out of danger. Mr. Williams has so far recovered as to be able to walk; the other two are still confined to their beds. It is believed at Little York that the cabin was set on fire by incendiaries. ———__—__-9-6 Innuman.—A neglected little boy, six years old, according to the last Nevada Democrat, was taken from Grass Valley to the county hospital, last Saturday, being very sick with typhoid fever. His mother is an abandoned woman who paid no attention to him, and his father isa workman in the Live Shaft. The father was informed by Dr. tof the Hospital, on Sunday, that there the proper conveniences in the hos1¢ little patient,and that he would ess he was taken where he nursed; but the father ling te go. to any trougave lis cliifd’s life—Such rental insensibility is enblush for his species. eertainly d cauld. be pg appeared ta ble or ough to male « Prrsondt-—During the week past we have had the pleasure of making the acquaintance of two respected editorial cotemporaries— ‘Wash. Wright late of the Sierra Citizen, and Judge Rolfé of the Nevada Democrat, . flaunting in the stirring political drama, as to it may seem wisest and best. And thus it discourseth: ‘Our State of California, though it produ. ceth not many patriots, is most prolific in a: the growth of politicians. were once sailors, held at R. H. Farquhar’s . th Though richer an all her sister States in the gold of her mountains and the grain of her valleys, California is not rich in loving children.— Why is it, that, in the formidable host of stump speaking candidates, who are now making every night hideous, through the length and breadth of our beautiful land, not one of them has a kind word to say for the State from whom he is begging favors, nor a kind proposition or promise to make for her welfare! The seclusion of our little and modest San Juan has precluded us from the pleasure—or pain, whichever it may be— of hearing many of the stump orators, who are now bustling through the country at such a terrible rate; but we have read several of their speeches in the Sacramento Union, and we find them all persistently agreeing in one thing, and that one thing is the utter repudiation and ignoration—(we beg pardon for the coinage of the word ignoration, though it ought te be legitimate, nevertheless )—of every topic of California interest. A highly patriotic Roman Consul—the same quoted by Gen. Harrison, in his inaugural address in 1841—said of the turbulent triumvirs who were struggling for the vacant throne of. the assassinated Julius Cwsar, that, “while Octavius had his party, and Anthony had his party, and Lepidus bad his party, the poer Commonwealth of Rome had no party!”— Like this melancholy Roman patriot, we are ready to exclaim that, while Gwin has his party, and Broderick has his party, and Latham has his party, and Currey has his party, and Stanford has his party, the poor, despised, ignored, repudiated State of California has no party! No—alas! alack! and welladay !—there is not one of these officeseeking stump speakers “so poor to do her reverence! ” What have we—the innocent and ignorant constituents of our illustrious United States Senators, Gwin and Broderick— learned from their eloquent performances on the stump? Nothing—except that each, in the opinion of his colleague, is the most degraded and disgusting scoundrel on the Pacific coast. Gwin, if we are to believe Broderick, is “dripping with corruption,” and Broderick, if Gwin is to be believed, is but a bundle of mendacious cowardice, who has long since sunk infinitely beneath the lowest depths of contempt. Pretty dagguerreotypes, in sooth, eur wise and honorable United States Senators make of each other! Suppose, just for the fun of the thing, that their compeers in the Senate should, hereafter, take them at their words, and believe that each is as bad. as hiscolleague has labored to make him, why, what weight or influence could they possibly have in that august body? If they should escape being kicked out of the National Capitol, by the Senatorial ser— geant at arms, it would be as much kindness and consideration as we could reasonably expect for them. Some day—perhaps a long way off, which may Heaven forfend-—some day, as we niost devoutly hope, the statesmen and politicians of California may take it into their heads to try and make themselves useful to their fellow citizens, instead of expending their strength and talents in the villainous ambition of outrivallirg each other in gladiatorial feats of blackguardism.Some day they may think it more praiseworthy to' build up the State than to crush one another—more noble to cherish and enhance the commercial, manufacturing, and agricultural interests of their common constituency than to feverishly rummage their vocabularies for blistering expletives to hurl at their rivals— more consonant with the welfare and glory of humanity to assist in elevating the people of California in the scale of educationaland moral. excellence than to play the parts of demagogues for the amusement of the stupid, the vulgar, and'the base. That day—a day in which the people of California will not have very much occasion. to blush for the short-comings of their great men—will surely come, long even before the iron horse snorts on the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad, and we hope to live to see it, for it will be a glorious day for California. And thus closeth our lesson for the day, on the matter and article of “Ttiherant Spouters.” ‘ MarysviLte Raitroap.—From the Democrat and Express, of Thursday, we learn that the Vallejo and Marysville Railroad is now going ahead in earnest. They state that John H, Atchison has recently closed a contract with Judge Dame, on the part of the San Francisco and Marysville Railroad Company, to complete the road from Marysville to the Sacramento river, for the ties and iron, by the Ist of September next. Mr. Atchison has advertised for eight hundred additional laborers to go on the work. Here is a fine chance for able-bodied men out of employment. ‘plants and trees. Ee ooo a at a POLITICAL MEETINGS. Two of them in this place since our last. Last Saturday night four or five hundred people assembted in front of Guthrie's Brick to hear speeches from John Currey, gubernatorial candidate ‘en the Popular Soveeignty ticket, and Dr. Joseph Powell, candidate on same ticket for Clerk Supreme Court. A platform was erected, draped in the national flag and brilliantly lighted, and from the balcony of the Union Hotel opposite the Brass Band discoursed with accustomed skill. After ‘he election of Andrew Hartman as President, Messrs. Bryan, Everett, Cassin and Nuttall as Vice Presidents, and O. P. Stidger as Secretary, Mr. Hartman made some introductory remarks and then presented Judge Currey. Mr. Currey made a calm and dignified address upon the political issues of the day, closing with an argument against the Cass-Le Clerc letter. He was followed by Dr. Powell, who kept the crowd applauding and laughing for more than an hour by a forcibte, humorous, ol4-fashion~ ed stump speech. Mr. J. C. Palmer, candidate’ for the Assembly from this county, next addressed the audience. Other candidates who had been announced to speak were not forthcoming, and the meeting adjourned. On Thursday night the Administration Democracy held a meetingon the same spot, on the same stand and with the same decorations, on which occasion four or five hundred people assembled to hear the words of democratic truth, as enunciated by Ex-Congressman Scott and Gevernor Weller. Mr. Scott isa good stump speaker. Heé has a good volame of voice and articulates well. Me said a great many sensible things about the Le Clerc and Hofer letters of Gen. Cass, and, substantially, thougk with infinitely more verbiage, presented the same view of the “naturalized citizen” matter whichwe presented last week. These stamp speakers must talk! He talked about Kansas, and left Kansas about where she was, except that fie thought that a slave code for the territories was, or was not, exacily the thing for them. Mr. Scott pitched into Broderick, as, of course, it was expected he wou!d pitch into him— pronounced a panegyric upes the American Eagle and the Fourth or July, 2776, as he ought—said some complimentary things of James Buchannan’s Administration—and closed amid a perfect hurricane of applause. The San Juan Brass Band played “Jim along Josey,” and, therexpon, Gov. Weller mounted the stand, and made a good speech. We say, emphatically, “A Goop Serrcr, and we care not who contradicts us. He spoke of the management of the Penitentiary, under his administration, and proved what we all knew before, that that institution was never better managed than as he managed it. He also pitched into Broderick, but Broderick was made to be pitched into, and, so, that part of his speech was set down as so much for Quantity. He denied, most emphatically, that he had ever been a defaulter, and appealed to God, as a Christian man only could appeal, to substantiate his denial. In short, Gov. Weller made a favorable impression upon everybody, and everybody seemed . to think that he ought to have had another two year’s fling at the gubernatorial office, to see, if for nothing else, what he could have made of it. When Gov. Weller concluded, Mr. Meredith, of Nevada, mounted the stand, and enunciated a great many sensi blethings—we presume so—thowgh we'could not hear a dozen words he said on aceount . of the noisy applause of his friends. So far—between Lecompton and Anti Lecompton we are slaty qxo. ee Ok Sted lake FE Ee Stare Raxee.—This:is an'extensive gravel: ridge lying in: the upper part of Yuba county, between the Middle and North forks of the Yuba river, about eleven’ miles from! North San Juan. It has long been known to’ be very rich, but cotiid only be worked at such localities as were supplied with water by the winter rains. Dad’s Gulch has been worked for several years, has yielded many thousands of dollars and acquired a considerable reputation. Some parties are working therenow. They have to cart their dirt some distatice, and can wash but three hours a day, owing to'the scarcity of water; yet they manage to make five and six dollars per’ diem to the hand. The alluvial deposit on’ Slate Range consists of a deep bed of grayel, covered by the usual red earth of these movntain ridges, through which quartz veins crop oat at intervals. The decomposed quartz and red dirt is said to afford prospectors a good color to the pan, and even as muchas from six to twelve cents. If water was introduced a large and’ prosperous mining community would doubtless soon spring up. It is reported that water is to be brought in from the Truckee Lake Ditch. The surface soil is well adapted for tillage, supporting Juxariant native growths of fruit vines,. The range is abont one mile wide and several miles in length. We hope to learn of its early occupation for mining and gardening purposes. PIRES SUP CES ENG Pan eta Tue Bereavep Oxes.—The Sacramento Bee gives us an affecting account of the present state of maternal piety in the Capital City. The Rev. Mr. Hill, while preaching his farewell sermon, on last Sunday eventing, stated that several members of His society had met with afflictions in Iosing small children, and as a source of consolation, the pastor acceded to a request to deliver a discourse to ‘bereaved’ mothers.’ He’ did’ so upon a specially selected evening, and, singular as it may: seem, not one of the bereaved parents attended; although several of them did not fail to visit the opera nightly. They prefered ‘singing to sighing. * O sine cesininiignctaiestepeniljuiesetatataiceepe ction sx iginericeninde dhicipieanatsnavanssiguidietitisinaigiaialiaiiani aida eis liaise tata ——$$——$ sealants cenit nsingmsmiasrentnmncastintnt iA ininseiasiitshslinsniatinasirbsibaiaetat Oak Vattey Rancu.—This well known place is on the Downieville road in Yuba county, and was formerly the point at which loaded wagons stopped and surrendered their freight to packers. The amount of ground enclosed and cultivated is about four acres. On this is a very fine garden, and several hundred fruit trees—apple trees succeeding best. Near Oak Valley there is another garden which is owned by some Frenchmen. In a little valley on the top of the ridge they have four acres of rich black loam. This is planted entirely with vegetables, which thrive wondrous tell. The proprietors ‘are said te be skillful cultarists, and keep their place in admirable order. They have been located on this spot for several years, and have made money. Mountain gardening is a very profitable business when properly conducted, nor is there much danger that it can be overdone. a Express Ropperirs.—On the arrival of the boat at San Francisco, on Monday evening, a bag, belonging to. Freeman & Co's Express, containing $10,000 in gold dust, was stolens The express matter, on that trip, consisted of six bags, and six bags were taken from the boat to the office by the porter, but one of them was found to be filled with iron and shot. The porter was instantly suspected of having sustituted this counterfeit bag for the genuine one, and he and the driver ef the express wagon were promptly arrested, and no doubt is entertained of their guilt. The next day the same Express Co. was robbed of a box of gold dust, worth $1,500, which was taKen from the stage coach between Michigan Bluff and Yankee Jim’s, by two highway robbers, one of whom has been captured. The Express Co. promptly paid the amounts due the consignees in both cases. Pig en A Mystery Sotvep.—A yonng lady, Miss Hattie May, has recently created quite a sensation at home and in Marysville, by gettimg up rumors of her death, while on a pretended visit to San Francisco. A reputable yentleman of our acquaintance, just from Rstradilla, Alameda county, informs us that he feft the young lady alive and well in that town, a few days ago, being under the affectienate protection of a distinguished married gentleman of Yuba City. The matter, it is to be presumed, will breed trouble, in two, if not more, families. A vast deal of domestic peace continues to be sacrificed on the shrine of gallantry in California. -ees A Bremen correspondent of the Mo. Republican complains of a lack of national fecting on the occasion of Humboldt’s death. He says no national sorrow lamested the death of this great genius, nor did the German press pay due respect te the memory of a . man who has been the gYory of science for sixty years, and has reffected upon Germany . the lustre of his brilliant discoveries. cba Pee ert et J.

" —_—_—_—_———e?e Fifteen Indians and One White Man Killed.iu Tehama County. The Red Bluff Beacon learns that seme time during last week, the party sent out with John Breckenridge in search of Indians, met a party of five Indians and one white man, between the headwaters of Butte and Deer Creeks, with whom they engaged ina severe running fight, which only lasted a short time, when Mr. B. and his party succeeded in forever silencing hostilities as far as this straggling band is concerned. The scalp of the white man was taken and brought away by Mr. Breckenridge. About daylight, on the second morning after this encounter, the party (which numbers about a dozen ee) attacked a large rancheria and killed ten Indians, among whom was a squaw, who threw herselfbetweena white man and oneof the bucks, just at the moment of the firing of the rifle of the former. The gallant little army is still in the mountains, and were to attack a much larger rancheria, near the head of Deer Creek on Saturday night last. On Sunday afternoon, the houses of Mr. Rountree and Mr. Anderson, some four and half miles above Mayhew’s Crossing on Deer Creek, were set on fire by Indians and entirely consumed, as well as their haystacks, fencing, &c. The inhabitants of the valley along the foot-hills are all moving in towards the river for protection.} No deubt now remains that the Indians have white accomplices, and that they receive white agents. eet en Bas The Valley Tan of the 13th ult. says the report is that Jones & Russel have purchased the entire interest in the St. Joseph and Salt Lake mail route. es.

We wish the “Seamen’s Benevolent Association” a long life of usefulness, and hope it may prove to be the first of many similar organizations throughout California. —_—-§-e —— ——___— Horace GreeLtey.—This gentleman’s arrival in California has excH#ed unusual, but not undeserved, tokens of respect and friendship. He was cordially received at Placerville on the 30th ul*., znd expressed his thanks in an cloquent and interesting speech, giving an account of his overland trip and his ideas on the subject of the railroad. He was warmly received at Folsom, by citizens generally anda committee from Sacramento, making a few remarks explanatory of the object of his visit. He was put through the martyrdom of another public reception at the Capital, on Monday the Ist inst. acknowledged the compliment in a happy speech, and made a long address at Dr. Benton’s church in the evening. His topic was chiefly the Pacific Railroad, and his ideas upon the subject, as reported in the Union, are marked by all the good sense, directness and practicability which characterise the man. He said, among other things, that “the bill for a Pacific Railroad must decide nothing about localities—a road is all that is needed. The Government of iiself must not build it—it cannot do so economically. The way. will be to advertise for proposals, and say thet the company which will give security in a given time at the smallest cost to the Government ean have it. Make your own location—give one mile to the contractors on each side of the track on the main Tine, not following the curve, and let them bid against each other and the lowest take it. They shall.agree also-to convey the Government’s rails, troops and munitions of war atlow prices. In this way, and on these conditions, he believed fifty millions of dollars out of the treasury would build it, and before that amount was expended it would come back in duties on the products used. It would be built in ten years and the Government would have the cost of it in its treasury.” pair rwueher of oe Cazstn Burvep.—The last Nevada Democrat states thatthe cabin of Messrs. Rogers, Rule, and Williams, on Christmas Hill, about half a mile from Little York, caught fire on Tuesday night of Ias¢ week, and was entirely eonsumed with its contents. The owners, who were sleeping in the cabin, were aroused about twelve o'clock, fading the cabin on fire, and being nearby suffocated. There was no way to get out except through the door, and as the door was on the side of the cabin that was on fire, the unfortunate men were compelled to rush through the flames. They were all terribly burned. but are now out of danger. Mr. Williams has so far recovered as to be able to walk; the other two are still confined to their beds. It is believed at Little York that the cabin was set on fire by incendiaries. ———__—__-9-6 Innuman.—A neglected little boy, six years old, according to the last Nevada Democrat, was taken from Grass Valley to the county hospital, last Saturday, being very sick with typhoid fever. His mother is an abandoned woman who paid no attention to him, and his father isa workman in the Live Shaft. The father was informed by Dr. tof the Hospital, on Sunday, that there the proper conveniences in the hos1¢ little patient,and that he would ess he was taken where he nursed; but the father ling te go. to any trougave lis cliifd’s life—Such rental insensibility is enblush for his species. eertainly d cauld. be pg appeared ta ble or ough to male « Prrsondt-—During the week past we have had the pleasure of making the acquaintance of two respected editorial cotemporaries— ‘Wash. Wright late of the Sierra Citizen, and Judge Rolfé of the Nevada Democrat, . flaunting in the stirring political drama, as to it may seem wisest and best. And thus it discourseth: ‘Our State of California, though it produ. ceth not many patriots, is most prolific in a: the growth of politicians. were once sailors, held at R. H. Farquhar’s . th Though richer an all her sister States in the gold of her mountains and the grain of her valleys, California is not rich in loving children.— Why is it, that, in the formidable host of stump speaking candidates, who are now making every night hideous, through the length and breadth of our beautiful land, not one of them has a kind word to say for the State from whom he is begging favors, nor a kind proposition or promise to make for her welfare! The seclusion of our little and modest San Juan has precluded us from the pleasure—or pain, whichever it may be— of hearing many of the stump orators, who are now bustling through the country at such a terrible rate; but we have read several of their speeches in the Sacramento Union, and we find them all persistently agreeing in one thing, and that one thing is the utter repudiation and ignoration—(we beg pardon for the coinage of the word ignoration, though it ought te be legitimate, nevertheless )—of every topic of California interest. A highly patriotic Roman Consul—the same quoted by Gen. Harrison, in his inaugural address in 1841—said of the turbulent triumvirs who were struggling for the vacant throne of. the assassinated Julius Cwsar, that, “while Octavius had his party, and Anthony had his party, and Lepidus bad his party, the poer Commonwealth of Rome had no party!”— Like this melancholy Roman patriot, we are ready to exclaim that, while Gwin has his party, and Broderick has his party, and Latham has his party, and Currey has his party, and Stanford has his party, the poor, despised, ignored, repudiated State of California has no party! No—alas! alack! and welladay !—there is not one of these officeseeking stump speakers “so poor to do her reverence! ” What have we—the innocent and ignorant constituents of our illustrious United States Senators, Gwin and Broderick— learned from their eloquent performances on the stump? Nothing—except that each, in the opinion of his colleague, is the most degraded and disgusting scoundrel on the Pacific coast. Gwin, if we are to believe Broderick, is “dripping with corruption,” and Broderick, if Gwin is to be believed, is but a bundle of mendacious cowardice, who has long since sunk infinitely beneath the lowest depths of contempt. Pretty dagguerreotypes, in sooth, eur wise and honorable United States Senators make of each other! Suppose, just for the fun of the thing, that their compeers in the Senate should, hereafter, take them at their words, and believe that each is as bad. as hiscolleague has labored to make him, why, what weight or influence could they possibly have in that august body? If they should escape being kicked out of the National Capitol, by the Senatorial ser— geant at arms, it would be as much kindness and consideration as we could reasonably expect for them. Some day—perhaps a long way off, which may Heaven forfend-—some day, as we niost devoutly hope, the statesmen and politicians of California may take it into their heads to try and make themselves useful to their fellow citizens, instead of expending their strength and talents in the villainous ambition of outrivallirg each other in gladiatorial feats of blackguardism.Some day they may think it more praiseworthy to' build up the State than to crush one another—more noble to cherish and enhance the commercial, manufacturing, and agricultural interests of their common constituency than to feverishly rummage their vocabularies for blistering expletives to hurl at their rivals— more consonant with the welfare and glory of humanity to assist in elevating the people of California in the scale of educationaland moral. excellence than to play the parts of demagogues for the amusement of the stupid, the vulgar, and'the base. That day—a day in which the people of California will not have very much occasion. to blush for the short-comings of their great men—will surely come, long even before the iron horse snorts on the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad, and we hope to live to see it, for it will be a glorious day for California. And thus closeth our lesson for the day, on the matter and article of “Ttiherant Spouters.” ‘ MarysviLte Raitroap.—From the Democrat and Express, of Thursday, we learn that the Vallejo and Marysville Railroad is now going ahead in earnest. They state that John H, Atchison has recently closed a contract with Judge Dame, on the part of the San Francisco and Marysville Railroad Company, to complete the road from Marysville to the Sacramento river, for the ties and iron, by the Ist of September next. Mr. Atchison has advertised for eight hundred additional laborers to go on the work. Here is a fine chance for able-bodied men out of employment. ‘plants and trees. Ee ooo a at a POLITICAL MEETINGS. Two of them in this place since our last. Last Saturday night four or five hundred people assembted in front of Guthrie's Brick to hear speeches from John Currey, gubernatorial candidate ‘en the Popular Soveeignty ticket, and Dr. Joseph Powell, candidate on same ticket for Clerk Supreme Court. A platform was erected, draped in the national flag and brilliantly lighted, and from the balcony of the Union Hotel opposite the Brass Band discoursed with accustomed skill. After ‘he election of Andrew Hartman as President, Messrs. Bryan, Everett, Cassin and Nuttall as Vice Presidents, and O. P. Stidger as Secretary, Mr. Hartman made some introductory remarks and then presented Judge Currey. Mr. Currey made a calm and dignified address upon the political issues of the day, closing with an argument against the Cass-Le Clerc letter. He was followed by Dr. Powell, who kept the crowd applauding and laughing for more than an hour by a forcibte, humorous, ol4-fashion~ ed stump speech. Mr. J. C. Palmer, candidate’ for the Assembly from this county, next addressed the audience. Other candidates who had been announced to speak were not forthcoming, and the meeting adjourned. On Thursday night the Administration Democracy held a meetingon the same spot, on the same stand and with the same decorations, on which occasion four or five hundred people assembled to hear the words of democratic truth, as enunciated by Ex-Congressman Scott and Gevernor Weller. Mr. Scott isa good stump speaker. Heé has a good volame of voice and articulates well. Me said a great many sensible things about the Le Clerc and Hofer letters of Gen. Cass, and, substantially, thougk with infinitely more verbiage, presented the same view of the “naturalized citizen” matter whichwe presented last week. These stamp speakers must talk! He talked about Kansas, and left Kansas about where she was, except that fie thought that a slave code for the territories was, or was not, exacily the thing for them. Mr. Scott pitched into Broderick, as, of course, it was expected he wou!d pitch into him— pronounced a panegyric upes the American Eagle and the Fourth or July, 2776, as he ought—said some complimentary things of James Buchannan’s Administration—and closed amid a perfect hurricane of applause. The San Juan Brass Band played “Jim along Josey,” and, therexpon, Gov. Weller mounted the stand, and made a good speech. We say, emphatically, “A Goop Serrcr, and we care not who contradicts us. He spoke of the management of the Penitentiary, under his administration, and proved what we all knew before, that that institution was never better managed than as he managed it. He also pitched into Broderick, but Broderick was made to be pitched into, and, so, that part of his speech was set down as so much for Quantity. He denied, most emphatically, that he had ever been a defaulter, and appealed to God, as a Christian man only could appeal, to substantiate his denial. In short, Gov. Weller made a favorable impression upon everybody, and everybody seemed . to think that he ought to have had another two year’s fling at the gubernatorial office, to see, if for nothing else, what he could have made of it. When Gov. Weller concluded, Mr. Meredith, of Nevada, mounted the stand, and enunciated a great many sensi blethings—we presume so—thowgh we'could not hear a dozen words he said on aceount . of the noisy applause of his friends. So far—between Lecompton and Anti Lecompton we are slaty qxo. ee Ok Sted lake FE Ee Stare Raxee.—This:is an'extensive gravel: ridge lying in: the upper part of Yuba county, between the Middle and North forks of the Yuba river, about eleven’ miles from! North San Juan. It has long been known to’ be very rich, but cotiid only be worked at such localities as were supplied with water by the winter rains. Dad’s Gulch has been worked for several years, has yielded many thousands of dollars and acquired a considerable reputation. Some parties are working therenow. They have to cart their dirt some distatice, and can wash but three hours a day, owing to'the scarcity of water; yet they manage to make five and six dollars per’ diem to the hand. The alluvial deposit on’ Slate Range consists of a deep bed of grayel, covered by the usual red earth of these movntain ridges, through which quartz veins crop oat at intervals. The decomposed quartz and red dirt is said to afford prospectors a good color to the pan, and even as muchas from six to twelve cents. If water was introduced a large and’ prosperous mining community would doubtless soon spring up. It is reported that water is to be brought in from the Truckee Lake Ditch. The surface soil is well adapted for tillage, supporting Juxariant native growths of fruit vines,. The range is abont one mile wide and several miles in length. We hope to learn of its early occupation for mining and gardening purposes. PIRES SUP CES ENG Pan eta Tue Bereavep Oxes.—The Sacramento Bee gives us an affecting account of the present state of maternal piety in the Capital City. The Rev. Mr. Hill, while preaching his farewell sermon, on last Sunday eventing, stated that several members of His society had met with afflictions in Iosing small children, and as a source of consolation, the pastor acceded to a request to deliver a discourse to ‘bereaved’ mothers.’ He’ did’ so upon a specially selected evening, and, singular as it may: seem, not one of the bereaved parents attended; although several of them did not fail to visit the opera nightly. They prefered ‘singing to sighing. * O sine cesininiignctaiestepeniljuiesetatataiceepe ction sx iginericeninde dhicipieanatsnavanssiguidietitisinaigiaialiaiiani aida eis liaise tata ——$$——$ sealants cenit nsingmsmiasrentnmncastintnt iA ininseiasiitshslinsniatinasirbsibaiaetat Oak Vattey Rancu.—This well known place is on the Downieville road in Yuba county, and was formerly the point at which loaded wagons stopped and surrendered their freight to packers. The amount of ground enclosed and cultivated is about four acres. On this is a very fine garden, and several hundred fruit trees—apple trees succeeding best. Near Oak Valley there is another garden which is owned by some Frenchmen. In a little valley on the top of the ridge they have four acres of rich black loam. This is planted entirely with vegetables, which thrive wondrous tell. The proprietors ‘are said te be skillful cultarists, and keep their place in admirable order. They have been located on this spot for several years, and have made money. Mountain gardening is a very profitable business when properly conducted, nor is there much danger that it can be overdone. a Express Ropperirs.—On the arrival of the boat at San Francisco, on Monday evening,

a bag, belonging to. Freeman & Co's Express, containing $10,000 in gold dust, was stolens The express matter, on that trip, consisted of six bags, and six bags were taken from the boat to the office by the porter, but one of them was found to be filled with iron and shot. The porter was instantly suspected of having sustituted this counterfeit bag for the genuine one, and he and the driver ef the express wagon were promptly arrested, and no doubt is entertained of their guilt. The next day the same Express Co. was robbed of a box of gold dust, worth $1,500, which was taKen from the stage coach between Michigan Bluff and Yankee Jim’s, by two highway robbers, one of whom has been captured. The Express Co. promptly paid the amounts due the consignees in both cases. Pig en A Mystery Sotvep.—A yonng lady, Miss Hattie May, has recently created quite a sensation at home and in Marysville, by gettimg up rumors of her death, while on a pretended visit to San Francisco. A reputable yentleman of our acquaintance, just from Rstradilla, Alameda county, informs us that he feft the young lady alive and well in that town, a few days ago, being under the affectienate protection of a distinguished married gentleman of Yuba City. The matter, it is to be presumed, will breed trouble, in two, if not more, families. A vast deal of domestic peace continues to be sacrificed on the shrine of gallantry in California. -ees A Bremen correspondent of the Mo. Republican complains of a lack of national fecting on the occasion of Humboldt’s death.

" —_—_—_—_———e?e Fifteen Indians and One White Man Killed.iu Tehama County. The Red Bluff Beacon learns that seme time during last week, the party sent out with John Breckenridge in search of Indians, met a party of five Indians and one white man, between the headwaters of Butte and Deer Creeks, with whom they engaged ina severe running fight, which only lasted a short time, when Mr. B. and his party succeeded in forever silencing hostilities as far as this straggling band is concerned. The scalp of the white man was taken and brought away by Mr. Breckenridge. About daylight, on the second morning after this encounter, the party (which numbers about a dozen ee) attacked a large rancheria and killed ten Indians, among whom was a squaw, who threw herselfbetweena white man and oneof the bucks, just at the moment of the firing of the rifle of the former. The gallant little army is still in the mountains, and were to attack a much larger rancheria, near the head of Deer Creek on Saturday night last. On Sunday afternoon, the houses of Mr. Rountree and Mr. Anderson, some four and half miles above Mayhew’s Crossing on Deer Creek, were set on fire by Indians and entirely consumed, as well as their haystacks, fencing, &c. The inhabitants of the valley along the foot-hills are all moving in towards the river for protection.} No deubt now remains that the Indians have white accomplices, and that they receive white agents. eet en Bas The Valley Tan of the 13th ult. says the report is that Jones & Russel have purchased the entire interest in the St. Joseph and Salt Lake mail route. es.
