The Hydraulic. Press, 8. P. AVERY, EDITOR. SATURDAY, ::::: MAY 28, 1859 ———— Sprive.—There was a heayy shower of rain in this part of the world last Sunda night, which irrigated the ranches and gardens in splendid style, free of charge. The . Sunday before there was also a fine May . shower. The elements are especially pro. pitious to the agriculturists this spring. All the grain, grass and vegetable crops Iook fine, and the trees and bushes are loaded with fruit. Ten miles mp the ridge the season is not so much advanced, vegetation being at least two weeks behind. While the onks in this vicinity have been clothed in full, deep green foliage for several weeks past, those up the ridge a short distance are just putting forth their pale furzy leaflets . With the exception of a few days of cloud and cool wind the weather has been warm of late, and the snows are rapidly melting. The paradise season of this delicious clime is fairly upon usagain. The days open and close in glory, and the cool starry night falls upon the earth like a benediction. . Mixine Accipents.—In Winham’s diggings at Birchville, on Wednesday morning, Owen Evans and Samuel Davis were caught by a cave. Davis was entirely buried, but extricated without any greater injuries than a few scratches; while Evans, upon whom only a small portion of earth fell, had one leg broken between the ancle and calf. The fracture is not a very bad one. At French Corral, on Tuesday, Mr. Doyle went into a tunnel which was obstructed by an accumulation of dirt, and was washed out by a sudden rush of earth and water as quick as he attempted to clear it, but luckily sustained no great injury. Tne Waysipe Sprixc.—This ought to be the name of an establishment which some public benefactor has opened about half way up the long wearisome hill between French Corral and Woods’ crossing. He has brought the cool waters ofa spring to the side of the dusty road, where man and beast can be freely refreshed. A good deed, whatever the motive. We never see a trough of clear water by the wayside without blessing the unknown man who placed it there, and thinking he has not lived in vain. Tue last lecture of the course for the benefit of the M. E. Church, was delivered by Rey. M. C. Briggs, on the 21st inst. His subject was “Sects and Sectarfanism,” and we remarked his views upon it to be particularly liberal. Denominational jealousy and rancor are evidently decreasing in California. Mr. Briggs preached an able sermon on Sunday morning, and has made upon this community an impression highly favorable to himself, if not to the cause of the Church. Tue Hesperian, for May, contains a faithful portrait of Mrs. T. O. Larkin—the first American woman who became a permanent resident on this coast, and whose chlldren were the first of American parentage on both sides, ever born in the country. Dr. Grayson contributes another pleasant paper on the birds of the Pacific, which is illustrated by a colored lithograph as usual.— There are other articles of interest and merit which need not be particularized. For sale by Sam Abbey and Franchere. Asoruer Ganpen.—Stewart & Cottle have about five acres of loose warm soil under cultivation, just out of town on a hill side beyond the brewery. The enclosure is watered by a fine spring, contains a great variety of esculent vegetables, and some three hundred peach and apple trees. Who says the mountains are not fit for agriculture, when gardens are as numerous, almost, as mining claims? Eastwarp Ho!—<A number of old San Juaners left for the Atlantic States on Friday moroing ; amongst others, Harry Sears and family, resident here from the birth of the town, almost. A pleasant journey and happy reunion with old friends to them, and may they not like the valley of the Connecticut less but Calif;rnia more ! \ ——— fiw ApveatisemeNys.—Samelson calls attention to a great variety of new goods. Franctlere lias Masonic tegatia for sale— just in time for the ball at Camptonvilfe. Read the good bye card of Harry Sears.— Persons owing him can settle with T. Green. Martin, the famous necromancer, will Be here next Saturday. INDEPEXDENCE Day.—TIs it not time measures were taken for a proper celebration of the approacliing national’ birthday? Why not call a meeting the coming week and eonsider the matter ?’ Srrawssretes are plentiful in town at four bits a pound. Many of theprivate gardens afford them in abundance, and ef very large size. Tim Smith has hung up a big pictorial announcement, that he is ready to furnish ladies and gentlemen with fine riding horses. To illustrate the fluctuations in the value of mining property, it may be mentioned that a man at Yreka has offered $1,000 for @ tenth interest in a quartz claim, which he sold a week before for ten dollars, THE MINES. The break in the Middle Yuba Ditch was: repaired earlier than we supposed last week. . to call a constitutional convention will be . County Convention as a candidate for guberThe water was ranning down here on Friday morning, if not before. Only three companies have cleaned up on i San Juan Hill since our last. _ The yields are ) all excellent. The Sailor Company took out . $2,156; the Winhams, from their ground . . adjoining the eld Deadman claims, $1,203; and Lowe & Co. $3,477. An interest, onetenth,in the Wyoming claims was sold for . $1,600. The Ohio Company have had an . immense cave, which filled up the shaft lead‘ing to their tunnel and buried it under twenty feet of earth. A cave in the Eloomer claims nearly caught some of the hands in . its crushing embrace. The arrangement between the miners of . Columbia Hili and Dr. Weaver, for a supply of water from his ditch, is progressing and will probably be effected before long. We are gratified to hear, and so will be a host of others, that Gen. Allen has struck some rich diggings in ground adjoining his tail sluice, which was not before deemed valuable. He went into his present mining enterprise with all the courage and faith of a young man, . for which, and for many other noble qualities, he deserves all the success that can possibly befall him. We are informed by one of the partnersin the McKeeby claims, at Junction Bluff, that they are now yielding regularly from $1,400 to $1,600 a week.There are four whole shares in the company. Four men do the work, and the average expenses, for haber, water, hose &c., amount to about one-third of the gross receipts. These claims are worthy special mention as affording an example of that systematic, intelligent mode of mining for which this section is famous. The bank is now about one hundred and thirty feet high, and presents a clean, nearly perpendicular appearance, like a huge wall. It has always been worked square with the bed-rock. To ensure the same thorouglr washing hereafter the company have run a new tunnel, 860 feet long, through rock, at a cost of $12,000. The depth of the tunnel below the base of the bank is 170 feet. A shaft will have to be raised for this distanee, through which to wash. What a cataract of dirt, gravel and water is destined to pour down this granite throat! The washing of the earth is much facilitated by the now ap: proved process of bank blasting, which we have so frequently described. A blast ef ten or fifteen kegs of powder is exploded every fortnight. The bottom dirt being the softest, the effects of the explosion are mostly confined to the base of the bank where the piping is done, thus greatly aiding that process. The loose earth is rapidly eaten into by the fierce dashing streams of water and adeep cavity gnawed out. when down thunders the superincumbent mass. The McKeeby claims have been profitably worked for a number of years, and will endure for several years to come. They have yielded in the last two years $100,000. pag*The Yreka Chronicle says an army of crickets and grasshoppers, sach as desolated the farms of Shasta valley in 1855, has again appeared, to the terror of agriculturists but great delight of the Diggers, who regard it as a favor of the gods, and gather up the insects as “hi you muck-a-muck.”— On Tuesday of last week an army over half a mile in width and of unknown length, made their entry in the gardens bordering on the eastern portion of Yreka; and in passing through them, so thick and numerous were they that every footstep would crush numbers. The San Francisco Telegram says there are in that city not less than six thousand firm believers in the doctrine of Spiritualism, who engage in social circles, and produce signs and wonders in the table tipping style of revelation. The number ofsympathisers with the avowed professors or manipulators in this department of unearthly science, must largely exceed the performers and mediums themselves. The circles are held in social halls, specially hired for and dedicated to that purpose; mostly, however,—and the best manifestations—they are gathered in private parlors. AmusemEents.—Lee’s Circus played to a large audience in this place last Friday evening, and gave much satisfaction. Collins, the Irish comedian, wanted to play here on Tuesday, but could not obtain a suitable room. How about that Theatre building? . The Wizard Martin performs here next Saturday evening, the 4th of June. He is reall; the best slight of hand performer who has been in the country. See advertisement for particulars of a $500 gift distribution, which he will make to purchasers of tickets to his exhibition. Personat.—Hon. J. ©. McKibben passed’ through this place Iast week on his way to Downieville, stopping liere over night. During the present week, the Press office was illuminated by the brief presence of Capt. Rufus Shoemaker, late editor of the Nevada National. Tue St. Louis correspondent of the Union says that J. T. Crenshaw,.Postmaster at Nevada, passed through St. Louis from western Missouri, accompanied by his son, whom he was taking to school in Tennessee. Crenshaw contemplates returning to California by the Tehuantepec route. ALL the stages now come and go full of passengers, -have probably never told their love.

The same result may be expected this year, unless energetic measures are used to produce a different one. Let us know positively whether the people want a new constitution or not. Every speaker on the stump should make this one point in his remarks. If all parties would this year take the trouble to have the proposition for the convention or against it, printed on their tickets, the people would then be certain to express a preference one way or another, amd the question would then be settled. Tue Disixterestep.—Bro. Waite, of the . ¢al complexion of the next House of RepreNevada Journal thus funnily remarks: There isa large number of men in this county, as in every other, who are perfectly willing to sacrifice themselves for the public good. They have a love for offe>—a love natural enough in a State like ours. Some of them are bold and arrogant, and some To give all an equal chance, so faras lies in our power—to do for the modest aspirant what his diffidence prevents him from doing for himself, is the object of this item. We charge nothing fer the advertisement, nothing— whatever. The Journal then gives a list of forty-four aspirants for eleven positions; five for the Sheriffalty, five for County Clerk, four for District Attorney, seven for Treasurer, four .for Assessor, five for the Senate, twelve for the Assembly, only one for County Surveyor, and two for Coroner. As this is probably not all, a very liberal offer is made to issue other names that may be offered in a supplement. Yeh. We have received a copy of the report of the Senate Investigating Committee, relative to affairs at the State Prison. Itis a very lengthy document, embracing, with all the testimony, exhibits, &c., more than 120 pages. The conclusion the Committee arrived at is, “that nothing lias been elicited or obtained that should cause any of the officers in charge of the prison to be injuriously affected in reputation, in consequence of the moral, financial, or other management of the same whilst in charge of the State.”— This does not agree very well with the report of the House Committee, but is doubtless nearer correct. Now that McCauley has charge again, the House report might be very applicable. wey. Robt. B. Campbell, U. S. Consul at London, announces to the Secretary of State the first arrival from Japan that has ever occurred inany English port. The arrival alluded to was that of the ship Florence, of Boston, from Nagasaki, in Japan, from whence she sailed on the 17th of December last, with a cargo consisting chiefly of vegetable wax. On this cargo was realized a cent per cent. profit. Coffee and sugar are said to be selling at Pike’s Peak at fifty cents per pound, whisky eight dollars per gallon, molasses five dollars per gallon, lumber ten dollars per hundred and oxen sixty dollars per yoke. By reference to our telegraphic report, it will be seen that these mines are very emphatically pronounced a humbug. Pious Movewent.—Last Sunday being the second anniversary of Confidence Engine Company of this city, according to previous arrangement, the Company assembled at the engine house at 10 o’clock and marched ina body tothe Presbyterian Church on Coloma street.— Placerville Observer. The Mo. Republican says that nearly three thousand houses will have gone up in St. Louis during the present building season.— That city is pretty certain to become the great inland metropolis of North America. No California city, for all our boasting, can equal its rapid growth. It now bas a population of nearly 200,000. The Atlantic Telegraph Company have decided to expend a sum not exeeeding $100,000 to resuscitate the submarine cable.— Operations to this end will commence as soon as the weather is favorable. An attempt to lay a new cable will be made in July, 1860. Capt. Pendleton, of the bark Sarah Park, has been found guilty of whipping, beating, maiming and false imprisoning Wm. Johnson. M. T.

The Hydraulic. Press, 8. P. AVERY, EDITOR. SATURDAY, ::::: MAY 28, 1859 ———— Sprive.—There was a heayy shower of rain in this part of the world last Sunda night, which irrigated the ranches and gardens in splendid style, free of charge. The . Sunday before there was also a fine May . shower. The elements are especially pro. pitious to the agriculturists this spring. All the grain, grass and vegetable crops Iook fine, and the trees and bushes are loaded with fruit. Ten miles mp the ridge the season is not so much advanced, vegetation being at least two weeks behind. While the onks in this vicinity have been clothed in full, deep green foliage for several weeks past, those up the ridge a short distance are just putting forth their pale furzy leaflets . With the exception of a few days of cloud and cool wind the weather has been warm of late, and the snows are rapidly melting. The paradise season of this delicious clime is fairly upon usagain. The days open and close in glory, and the cool starry night falls upon the earth like a benediction. . Mixine Accipents.—In Winham’s diggings at Birchville, on Wednesday morning, Owen Evans and Samuel Davis were caught by a cave. Davis was entirely buried, but extricated without any greater injuries than a few scratches; while Evans, upon whom only a small portion of earth fell, had one leg broken between the ancle and calf. The fracture is not a very bad one. At French Corral, on Tuesday, Mr. Doyle went into a tunnel which was obstructed by an accumulation of dirt, and was washed out by a sudden rush of earth and water as quick as he attempted to clear it, but luckily sustained no great injury. Tne Waysipe Sprixc.—This ought to be the name of an establishment which some public benefactor has opened about half way up the long wearisome hill between French Corral and Woods’ crossing. He has brought the cool waters ofa spring to the side of the dusty road, where man and beast can be freely refreshed. A good deed, whatever the motive. We never see a trough of clear water by the wayside without blessing the unknown man who placed it there, and thinking he has not lived in vain. Tue last lecture of the course for the benefit of the M. E. Church, was delivered by Rey. M. C. Briggs, on the 21st inst. His subject was “Sects and Sectarfanism,” and we remarked his views upon it to be particularly liberal. Denominational jealousy and rancor are evidently decreasing in California. Mr. Briggs preached an able sermon on Sunday morning, and has made upon this community an impression highly favorable to himself, if not to the cause of the Church. Tue Hesperian, for May, contains a faithful portrait of Mrs. T. O. Larkin—the first American woman who became a permanent resident on this coast, and whose chlldren were the first of American parentage on both sides, ever born in the country. Dr. Grayson contributes another pleasant paper on the birds of the Pacific, which is illustrated by a colored lithograph as usual.— There are other articles of interest and merit which need not be particularized. For sale by Sam Abbey and Franchere. Asoruer Ganpen.—Stewart & Cottle have about five acres of loose warm soil under cultivation, just out of town on a hill side beyond the brewery. The enclosure is watered by a fine spring, contains a great variety of esculent vegetables, and some three hundred peach and apple trees. Who says the mountains are not fit for agriculture, when gardens are as numerous, almost, as mining claims? Eastwarp Ho!—<A number of old San Juaners left for the Atlantic States on Friday moroing ; amongst others, Harry Sears and family, resident here from the birth of the town, almost. A pleasant journey and happy reunion with old friends to them, and may they not like the valley of the Connecticut less but Calif;rnia more ! \ ——— fiw ApveatisemeNys.—Samelson calls attention to a great variety of new goods. Franctlere lias Masonic tegatia for sale— just in time for the ball at Camptonvilfe. Read the good bye card of Harry Sears.— Persons owing him can settle with T. Green. Martin, the famous necromancer, will Be here next Saturday. INDEPEXDENCE Day.—TIs it not time measures were taken for a proper celebration of the approacliing national’ birthday? Why not call a meeting the coming week and eonsider the matter ?’ Srrawssretes are plentiful in town at four bits a pound. Many of theprivate gardens afford them in abundance, and ef very large size. Tim Smith has hung up a big pictorial announcement, that he is ready to furnish ladies and gentlemen with fine riding horses. To illustrate the fluctuations in the value of mining property, it may be mentioned that a man at Yreka has offered $1,000 for @ tenth interest in a quartz claim, which he sold a week before for ten dollars, THE MINES. The break in the Middle Yuba Ditch was: repaired earlier than we supposed last week. . to call a constitutional convention will be . County Convention as a candidate for guberThe water was ranning down here on Friday morning, if not before. Only three companies have cleaned up on i San Juan Hill since our last. _ The yields are ) all excellent. The Sailor Company took out . $2,156; the Winhams, from their ground . . adjoining the eld Deadman claims, $1,203; and Lowe & Co. $3,477. An interest, onetenth,in the Wyoming claims was sold for . $1,600. The Ohio Company have had an . immense cave, which filled up the shaft lead‘ing to their tunnel and buried it under twenty feet of earth. A cave in the Eloomer claims nearly caught some of the hands in . its crushing embrace. The arrangement between the miners of . Columbia Hili and Dr. Weaver, for a supply of water from his ditch, is progressing and will probably be effected before long. We are gratified to hear, and so will be a host of others, that Gen. Allen has struck some rich diggings in ground adjoining his tail sluice, which was not before deemed valuable. He went into his present mining enterprise with all the courage and faith of a young man, . for which, and for many other noble qualities, he deserves all the success that can possibly befall him. We are informed by one of the partnersin the McKeeby claims, at Junction Bluff, that they are now yielding regularly from $1,400 to $1,600 a week.There are four whole shares in the company. Four men do the work, and the average expenses, for haber, water, hose &c., amount to about one-third of the gross receipts. These claims are worthy special mention as affording an example of that systematic, intelligent mode of mining for which this section is famous. The bank is now about one hundred and thirty feet high, and presents a clean, nearly perpendicular appearance, like a huge wall. It has always been worked square with the bed-rock. To ensure the same thorouglr washing hereafter the company have run a new tunnel, 860 feet long, through rock, at a cost of $12,000. The depth of the tunnel below the base of the bank is 170 feet. A shaft will have to be raised for this distanee, through which to wash. What a cataract of dirt, gravel and water is destined to pour down this granite throat! The washing of the earth is much facilitated by the now ap: proved process of bank blasting, which we have so frequently described. A blast ef ten or fifteen kegs of powder is exploded every fortnight. The bottom dirt being the softest, the effects of the explosion are mostly confined to the base of the bank where the piping is done, thus greatly aiding that process. The loose earth is rapidly eaten into by the fierce dashing streams of water and adeep cavity gnawed out. when down thunders the superincumbent mass. The McKeeby claims have been profitably worked for a number of years, and will endure for several years to come. They have yielded in the last two years $100,000. pag*The Yreka Chronicle says an army of crickets and grasshoppers, sach as desolated the farms of Shasta valley in 1855, has again appeared, to the terror of agriculturists but great delight of the Diggers, who regard it as a favor of the gods, and gather up the insects as “hi you muck-a-muck.”— On Tuesday of last week an army over half a mile in width and of unknown length, made their entry in the gardens bordering on the eastern portion of Yreka; and in passing through them, so thick and numerous were they that every footstep would crush numbers. The San Francisco Telegram says there are in that city not less than six thousand firm believers in the doctrine of Spiritualism, who engage in social circles, and produce signs and wonders in the table tipping style of revelation. The number ofsympathisers with the avowed professors or manipulators in this department of unearthly science, must largely exceed the performers and mediums themselves. The circles are held in social halls, specially hired for and dedicated to that purpose; mostly, however,—and the best manifestations—they are gathered in private parlors. AmusemEents.—Lee’s Circus played to a large audience in this place last Friday evening, and gave much satisfaction. Collins, the Irish comedian, wanted to play here on Tuesday, but could not obtain a suitable room. How about that Theatre building? . The Wizard Martin performs here next Saturday evening, the 4th of June. He is reall; the best slight of hand performer who has been in the country. See advertisement for particulars of a $500 gift distribution, which he will make to purchasers of tickets to his exhibition. Personat.—Hon. J. ©. McKibben passed’ through this place Iast week on his way to Downieville, stopping liere over night. During the present week, the Press office was illuminated by the brief presence of Capt. Rufus Shoemaker, late editor of the Nevada National. Tue St. Louis correspondent of the Union says that J. T. Crenshaw,.Postmaster at Nevada, passed through St. Louis from western Missouri, accompanied by his son, whom he was taking to school in Tennessee. Crenshaw contemplates returning to California by the Tehuantepec route. ALL the stages now come and go full of passengers, -have probably never told their love.

The same result may be expected this year, unless energetic measures are used to produce a different one. Let us know positively whether the people want a new constitution or not. Every speaker on the stump should make this one point in his remarks. If all parties would this year take the trouble to have the proposition for the convention or against it, printed on their tickets, the people would then be certain to express a preference one way or another, amd the question would then be settled. Tue Disixterestep.—Bro. Waite, of the . ¢al complexion of the next House of RepreNevada Journal thus funnily remarks: There isa large number of men in this county, as in every other, who are perfectly willing to sacrifice themselves for the public good. They have a love for offe>—a love natural enough in a State like ours. Some of them are bold and arrogant, and some To give all an equal chance, so faras lies in our power—to do for the modest aspirant what his diffidence prevents him from doing for himself, is the object of this item. We charge nothing fer the advertisement, nothing— whatever. The Journal then gives a list of forty-four aspirants for eleven positions; five for the Sheriffalty, five for County Clerk, four for District Attorney, seven for Treasurer, four .for Assessor, five for the Senate, twelve for the Assembly, only one for County Surveyor, and two for Coroner. As this is probably not all, a very liberal offer is made to issue other names that may be offered in a supplement. Yeh. We have received a copy of the report of the Senate Investigating Committee, relative to affairs at the State Prison. Itis a very lengthy document, embracing, with all the testimony, exhibits, &c., more than 120 pages. The conclusion the Committee arrived at is, “that nothing lias been elicited or obtained that should cause any of the officers in charge of the prison to be injuriously affected in reputation, in consequence of the moral, financial, or other management of the same whilst in charge of the State.”— This does not agree very well with the report of the House Committee, but is doubtless nearer correct. Now that McCauley has charge again, the House report might be very applicable. wey. Robt. B. Campbell, U. S. Consul at London, announces to the Secretary of State the first arrival from Japan that has ever occurred inany English port. The arrival alluded to was that of the ship Florence, of Boston, from Nagasaki, in Japan, from whence she sailed on the 17th of December last, with a cargo consisting chiefly of vegetable wax. On this cargo was realized a cent per cent. profit. Coffee and sugar are said to be selling at Pike’s Peak at fifty cents per pound, whisky eight dollars per gallon, molasses five dollars per gallon, lumber ten dollars per hundred and oxen sixty dollars per yoke. By reference to our telegraphic report, it will be seen that these mines are very emphatically pronounced a humbug. Pious Movewent.—Last Sunday being the second anniversary of Confidence Engine Company of this city, according to previous arrangement, the Company assembled at the engine house at 10 o’clock and marched ina body tothe Presbyterian Church on Coloma street.— Placerville Observer. The Mo. Republican says that nearly three thousand houses will have gone up in St. Louis during the present building season.— That city is pretty certain to become the great inland metropolis of North America. No California city, for all our boasting, can equal its rapid growth. It now bas a population of nearly 200,000. The Atlantic Telegraph Company have decided to expend a sum not exeeeding $100,000 to resuscitate the submarine cable.— Operations to this end will commence as soon as the weather is favorable. An attempt to lay a new cable will be made in July, 1860. Capt. Pendleton, of the bark Sarah Park, has been found guilty of whipping, beating, maiming and false imprisoning Wm. Johnson. M. T.
