SS Che Auydvaulic Press, ~~ B. P. AVERY, EDITOR. PAA PPAPAPAYLDAA™ SATURDAY, :::::: MAY 7, 1859 Wee ues saa oe A Proziem.—Since the adjournment of the Pepislature we have noticed a éurious fact. . Nearly every paper in the State, including even the press of the dominant party, has condemned the defunct body as the weakest or the worst-thatever assembled, not excepting the famous “Legislature of a thousand drinks.” Its adjournment has been pronounced the only good thing it accomplished, and the unfortunate individuals composing it have been advised that they would meet a righteous rebuke from their eonstituents. Yet from this wholesale censure many of the papers except the Hon. members from their immediate vicinity, and warmly welcome the weary law-makers back toa grateful people. The inference is plain, that either the Legislature as a whole was not so bad as it has been represented, or clse that the members are not so good. This is the problem that yearly vexes the brains of honest folks who mean what they . say and think others do the same. But it is really pleasant to learn, as we do by collecting a multitude of “honorable exceptions,” that, after all the denunciation alluded to, the last Legislature was a most virtuous and Foster the Overland Mail Routes. . The overland mail routes have not been patTHE MINES. ge i The diggings on this ridge were never so THE COUNTY.

Although the apparent indifference to them results mostly from ‘carelessness and front the slowness with , Which old habits are abandoned, this indif. ference may prove fatal to the overland ser' vice and we ought to arouse from it at once. . The cost of transporting mails over the con'tinent seems so disproportioned to the bene' fits resulting and to the amount of public . appreciation, that Congress may think best . to abandon the ente ; Such a disastrous act should be perpetrated the present season. The long continued _rains—protracted even to the present week, as though the heavens would never weary of showering” down blessings—have com. , pletely saturated the earth, flooded every lit. tle stream and filled the largest ditches. All who can wash, therefore, are busily rushin . off the auriferous dirt, and others are push_ing their preparations with what speed they ;may. The number of the yields we are able . to report from time to time, is quite insignifior > . fairly represent the character of the i Trustees have got decidedly the best of the argument. More heat, bad temper and personality have marked the discussion than such a subject ought to excite. The municipal election on Monday resulted in the election of the entire Douglass Democratic ticket, as we learn from the Democrat. The whole number of votes cast was 599. The names of the officers clected are as follows: Trustees; H. H. Flagg, G. E. es) Withington, T. H. Rolfe, J. A. Lancaster, John diggings . urer, T. T. Davenport; Assessor, James Funletusnot be chargable with it, as we would be . jp this section, when those are once thor. ston. . . were our behavior towards the overland routestoremain whatit has been. Californians have itin their power to keep these routes . open and to put them upon a better footiug . than ever before, by simply forwarding their . correspondence over them. Such tangible appreciation as large and constantly increas. ing mails would plead more powerfully in . their favor at Washington than the most el. The schedule time on each of the most popular routes would be speedily reduced; we should ultimately have a daily instead of a weekly mail; the necessity for an expensive . ocean mail service would be removed; the overland routes would be protected against savages; telegraphic communication from useful body, entirely devoted to the public good and worthy of all praise. All the State need ask of future legislators is this, that they exhibit in their collective capacity the same wisdem, integrity and industry which Notices or Preuicatioys—The Culturist for April is an admirable number, containing a colored engraving of the white winter . pearmain apple, and an unusual number of articles written very concisely and adapted to the agricultural wants and peculiarities of . California. We are happy to learn that the editor of the Culturist, Mr. W. Wadsworth, has become its sole proprietor. He is to be editorially assisted hereafter by Mr. Thomas . fowlandson, a gentleman of great capacity . and experience as a writer on those topics . to which the magazine is devoted—his previous labors in the same field having given him 2n extended reputation, and won from . the Royal Agricultural Society of England no less than eight prizes. The Culturist deserves, and should attain, a cirenlation commensuraie with the magnitude of the interests it aims to foster. We have received from the publishers, Hutchings’ Magazine for the present month.— It contains the usual interesting miscellany, illustrations of California towns, &c., a poem by Joha R. Ridge and one by G. T. Sproat, with the words and music of an original . mining song. The Musical Guest, published by M. Bell & Co., New York, fora copy of which we are indebted to Geo. W. Welch, of Nevada, is a weekly publication containing five pieces of mausic, printed in excellent style and sold cheaper than music was ever furnished be. fore. The lovers and practisers of harmony . will do well to give Mr. Welch their orders. Crowpixe Ir.—We learn from a gentleman of this place, who came up from Panama on the last trip of the steamer Jno. L. Stevens, that the number of passengers on the boat . exceeded iwo thousand, about five hundred of . whom were women and two hundred and . ocean to ocean would be more speedily established ; a line of passenger coaches would be run, and a chain of settlements would spring . up to link us with our eastern kindred, and . “o . . pioneer the Pacific railway. These things admiring editors accord to them individually. . are all bound to occur, but we can hasten the time of their accomplishment by transmit. ting our letters, or a good share of them through the overland mails. Let all at least, who have correspondents in the Western . States convey their letters through this medium, and request their friends to reply in the some manner. The mails arrive with great punctuality and usually ahead of the steamer, and some economy of postage can be effected by giving them the preference, many points in the Western States bein within the 3 cent distance of three thousand miles. see the overland mails fostered endorse their letters “Via Salt Lake;” or “Via Los Angeles.” r > Hereafter, let all who wish to Roap ImproveMENT.—We mentioned in our . last that it was in contemplation to open aj new road from Brady’s Ranch to a point just below the Empire Ranch. Since then Mr. Thomas Freeman has made asurvey of the . route and finds that the road can be constructed on a grade of not more than thirteen inches tothe rod. This will be a vast improvement over the old road, which has a grade of as much as three feet to the rod, and is, during the wet season, passed over by loaded teams with the greatest difficulty. Theestimated cost of this improvement is from eighteen hundred to two thousand dollars, some seven or eight hundred dollars of which have been subscribed by reliable parties along the road. Messrs. David Wood and Thomas Freeman, who have already contributed so much to place our mountain tion, have offered their services as surveyors the balance of the money needed an appeal has been mate to the business men of Ma. rysville, who will no doubt make a liberal fifty children. about this, asa count was made by several persons. We further states that the water in . the hold was ten feet deep, nearly up to the floor of the engine room! So low was the vessel in the water when she reached her . dock, that passengers walked ashore from the upper deck. and the cabins were crowded from the steerage. It is the intention of a number of passengers to commence suit against the stea. mer for exceeding her carrying capacity.

In this connection we may mention, that . the Board of Supervisors of this county have been petitioned to appropriate the sum . of five hundred dollars towards building a . bridge over Deer Creek, at the lower crossing, this side of Empire Ranch. at a point near Oague’s place, two miles This is the point where so much difficulty is experienced 5 in crossing during the rainy season.

Itis of course impossible, for . many reasons, to procure full statistics of the weekly gold crop throughout such a , large mining region. San Juan Hitt.—More water is being sold . here now than at any previous time. On Wednesday the number of inches running to the different companies was 1,660; the large quantity of 1,000 inches running to . five companies alone. If every company was washing the supply of water would fall far short of the demand. By an extensive . system of reservoirs a great saving of the indispensable element is effected, and the . ditch company are thus enabled to supply other diggings down the ridge. The Bloomer Company cleaned up this week from only ten boxes, after a run of three and a half days, 3615. Some of their dirt contains goldin quantities appreciable to the naked eye, but is very hard and difficult to wash. They find gold on the stones at the end of their sluices. This fact illustrates the great loss constantly going on, to the enrichment of tail sluices and river chan' nels. One tail sluice company not far from . here cleaned up last week upwards of $4,000. ; The Knickerbocker boys have taken out from . their lately opened claims $814; Moore & Readshaw about $600, and the Sailer Company $1,328 50. The Dutch Company are about to run a tunnel 1,200 feet long through soft rock, and advertise for proposals. MontTezuMA.—The Keystone Company realized from their last washing of drift dirt $2,212. Brrcnvitte.—A correspondent sends the following particulars : On the hill formerly known as Johnston’s, four companies are now washing. Fogarty, Cadwallader & Co. have ground which yields . foreach day they use water $180 clear of all expenses, and they work at least fifty feet from the bed-rock. Leahy, Everett & Quinn . have taken out, for the last eleven days run, the sum of $2,700. They use one hundred . and fifty inches of water. Messrs. Abraham . & Winham Bros. wash steady, and are no . doubt doing well. The Union Company, which is composed of four . { i enterprising Frenchmen, is also doing well; amount of yields not known. Fogarty & Co. are mining in a ravine claim which pays $15 per diem to the hand. Numpve.— ‘Hl. B.” writes as follows: Our former predictions relative to the extent and richness ofthe mineral resources of this section, are being fully verified. No failures whatever have yet occurred, but to . the contrary, every company has been successful beyond precedent. Water bills punctually paid, [that is certainly a good are sign,}] while in many instances the surplus has exceeded our most sanguine expectations. The Malakoff Company cleaned up from six days’ washing $1,011; and subsequently $836, from five days’ washing. Other companies are doing equally well—but it is not necessary to particularize. Iwill state for the benefit of Columbia III], that the miners . of Humbug Cafion never by word or deed . encouraged them to strike for a reduction of . water rates. Fortunately we are not compelled to pursue the course they adopted, ; and which I am satisfied was the only alter. native left for them. . .

The originator of this plan is Josiah Perham. Would it aot be a good joke if these Yankees built the road while “the rest of mankind” are talking about it? Prope have langhed at the punning name of the Hypraciic Press, and made vile jokes upon it. What do they say toa paper published at the iron mountain in Missouri, which rejoices in the name of Furnace? Tne Washington correspondent of the Union says that forty patents have been is. sued to California inventors, which exceeds the older States of Arkansas, Iowa, Florida and Texas.

Brother Averyis wellenough posted in the affairs of the State and the ; character of her prominent men to know what iwe said of our favorite candidate is true, every word of it. We hope the Press is not . too neutral to speak a good word for honest }men, and sterling qualities whenever the rarity is discovered, nor so disposed to look on the dark side of the picture as to believe 'the worst men are always to be preferred by . the people over the talented and meritorious. Cassandras in politics are worse to a cause than open enemies.— Nevada Journal. “That if’should not have been written, and “ the Press is nof too neutral to speak a good word for honest men and sterling qualities whenever discovered.” Further than this it is impossible for us to reply to the Journal, honestly, without sacrificing that same unlovely neutrality. <_ Gov. Weller has announced himself a can. didate for re-election. only $450,000. To meet arising exigencies, the company has drained, says the Neves, “every available dollar from nearly every resident of the county.” One of the chief ; creditors having lately foreclosed mortgages which he held to a large amount, and on which executions have issued for the sale of . the ditch, a great excitement resulted, according to the Courier, and over two thousand persons assembled in Columbia on the 27th ultimo, in answer to a call of the officers of the company, to make arrangements for a postponement of sale. Mr. Davis, the creditor alluded to above, positively refused “his consent to such postponement, and the . result has been increased excitement, spreading to the adjoining towns. <A grand mass . meeting was to have been held at Sonora on Monday last, when an effort was to be made to procure the amount necessary to prevent sale. The business men of Columbia, Springfield, Shaw’s Flat, Gold Springs and Sonora, . had agreed to close their stores on the day of the meeting.

Grass VALLEY.—The last number of the National comes to us with the valedictory of its editor, Rufus Shoemaker, who says the paper has not paid its way, but has fallen short several hundred dollars, the amount of which had to be paid out of his own pocket. He has found that the promises of political friends are not as good as cash. sorry his editorial connection with the National has ceased, and wish him better luck next time.

Wuart Dogs 1r Meax?—The writer of the following communication evidently labors under a mistake, in regard to the legal conduct of the case to which he refers; but he states some things which require explanation, and we publish his remarks with a view to eliciting the facts: Editor Press: YT understand that the man Coffin, who robbed the sluices at Emory’s Crossing, and was committed to jail at Nevada about two months since, to await his trial, has been set at liberty without an examination. Now, there has been some strange proceedings in this case, and as the community at large are interested in having robbers and outlaws punished, they should know why this thief has been turned loose upon them to again commit depredations, without even a shadow or form ofa trial.

They waited till night, and no other witnesses appearing, the District Attorney informed them that as he had no witnesses to even prove that a robbery had been owe o) committed, he could do nothing; and IT suppose the sluice-robber and outlaw is now at large. Now, Mr. Editor, I know nothing about law, but it seems to me that this case has been managed very badly; andI should like to know why it is, that aftera man has been committed to jail for a robbery of five or six hundred dollars, he can be breught before a Justice of the Peace for trial, when I supposed they could do nothing more in such cases than commit them, and that the County or District Court was the proper tribunal for such culprits to be tried before. And again, Mr. Editor, I should like to ask those individuals at Emory’s Crossing, whose sluices were robbed, and who were the principal prosecuting witnesses in the case, why it is that they did not make their appearance at Nevada at the farce, if not trial, that was attempted to be played on Thursday last ?— If they were notsummoned, some of the legal fraternity have not done their duty; and if they were summoned, they should answer for neglecting such an important matter.— Justice should prevail and the guilty should be punished.

SS Che Auydvaulic Press, ~~ B. P. AVERY, EDITOR. PAA PPAPAPAYLDAA™ SATURDAY, :::::: MAY 7, 1859 Wee ues saa oe A Proziem.—Since the adjournment of the Pepislature we have noticed a éurious fact. . Nearly every paper in the State, including even the press of the dominant party, has condemned the defunct body as the weakest or the worst-thatever assembled, not excepting the famous “Legislature of a thousand drinks.” Its adjournment has been pronounced the only good thing it accomplished, and the unfortunate individuals composing it have been advised that they would meet a righteous rebuke from their eonstituents. Yet from this wholesale censure many of the papers except the Hon. members from their immediate vicinity, and warmly welcome the weary law-makers back toa grateful people. The inference is plain, that either the Legislature as a whole was not so bad as it has been represented, or clse that the members are not so good. This is the problem that yearly vexes the brains of honest folks who mean what they . say and think others do the same. But it is really pleasant to learn, as we do by collecting a multitude of “honorable exceptions,” that, after all the denunciation alluded to, the last Legislature was a most virtuous and Foster the Overland Mail Routes. .

Such tangible appreciation as large and constantly increas. ing mails would plead more powerfully in . their favor at Washington than the most el. The schedule time on each of the most popular routes would be speedily reduced; we should ultimately have a daily instead of a weekly mail; the necessity for an expensive . ocean mail service would be removed; the overland routes would be protected against savages; telegraphic communication from useful body, entirely devoted to the public good and worthy of all praise. All the State need ask of future legislators is this, that they exhibit in their collective capacity the same wisdem, integrity and industry which Notices or Preuicatioys—The Culturist for April is an admirable number, containing a colored engraving of the white winter . pearmain apple, and an unusual number of articles written very concisely and adapted to the agricultural wants and peculiarities of .

He is to be editorially assisted hereafter by Mr. Thomas . fowlandson, a gentleman of great capacity . and experience as a writer on those topics . to which the magazine is devoted—his previous labors in the same field having given him 2n extended reputation, and won from . the Royal Agricultural Society of England no less than eight prizes.

Let all at least, who have correspondents in the Western . States convey their letters through this medium, and request their friends to reply in the some manner. The mails arrive with great punctuality and usually ahead of the steamer, and some economy of postage can be effected by giving them the preference, many points in the Western States bein within the 3 cent distance of three thousand miles. see the overland mails fostered endorse their letters “Via Salt Lake;” or “Via Los Angeles.” r > Hereafter, let all who wish to Roap ImproveMENT.—We mentioned in our . last that it was in contemplation to open aj new road from Brady’s Ranch to a point just below the Empire Ranch. Since then Mr. Thomas Freeman has made asurvey of the . route and finds that the road can be constructed on a grade of not more than thirteen inches tothe rod. This will be a vast improvement over the old road, which has a grade of as much as three feet to the rod, and is, during the wet season, passed over by loaded teams with the greatest difficulty. Theestimated cost of this improvement is from eighteen hundred to two thousand dollars, some seven or eight hundred dollars of which have been subscribed by reliable parties along the road. Messrs.

San Juan Hitt.—More water is being sold . here now than at any previous time. On Wednesday the number of inches running to the different companies was 1,660; the large quantity of 1,000 inches running to . five companies alone. If every company was washing the supply of water would fall far short of the demand. By an extensive . system of reservoirs a great saving of the indispensable element is effected, and the . ditch company are thus enabled to supply other diggings down the ridge. The Bloomer Company cleaned up this week from only ten boxes, after a run of three and a half days, 3615. Some of their dirt contains goldin quantities appreciable to the naked eye, but is very hard and difficult to wash. They find gold on the stones at the end of their sluices. This fact illustrates the great loss constantly going on, to the enrichment of tail sluices and river chan' nels. One tail sluice company not far from . here cleaned up last week upwards of $4,000. ; The Knickerbocker boys have taken out from . their lately opened claims $814; Moore & Readshaw about $600, and the Sailer Company $1,328 50. The Dutch Company are about to run a tunnel 1,200 feet long through soft rock, and advertise for proposals. MontTezuMA.—The Keystone Company realized from their last washing of drift dirt $2,212. Brrcnvitte.—A correspondent sends the following particulars : On the hill formerly known as Johnston’s, four companies are now washing. Fogarty, Cadwallader & Co. have ground which yields . foreach day they use water $180 clear of all expenses, and they work at least fifty feet from the bed-rock. Leahy, Everett & Quinn . have taken out, for the last eleven days run, the sum of $2,700. They use one hundred . and fifty inches of water. Messrs. Abraham . & Winham Bros. wash steady, and are no . doubt doing well. The Union Company, which is composed of four . { i enterprising Frenchmen, is also doing well; amount of yields not known. Fogarty & Co. are mining in a ravine claim which pays $15 per diem to the hand. Numpve.— ‘Hl. B.” writes as follows: Our former predictions relative to the extent and richness ofthe mineral resources of this section, are being fully verified. No failures whatever have yet occurred, but to . the contrary, every company has been successful beyond precedent. Water bills punctually paid, [that is certainly a good are sign,}] while in many instances the surplus has exceeded our most sanguine expectations. The Malakoff Company cleaned up from six days’ washing $1,011; and subsequently $836, from five days’ washing. Other companies are doing equally well—but it is not necessary to particularize.

Now, there has been some strange proceedings in this case, and as the community at large are interested in having robbers and outlaws punished, they should know why this thief has been turned loose upon them to again commit depredations, without even a shadow or form ofa trial.

They waited till night, and no other witnesses appearing, the District Attorney informed them that as he had no witnesses to even prove that a robbery had been owe o) committed, he could do nothing; and IT suppose the sluice-robber and outlaw is now at large. Now, Mr. Editor, I know nothing about law, but it seems to me that this case has been managed very badly; andI should like to know why it is, that aftera man has been committed to jail for a robbery of five or six hundred dollars, he can be breught before a Justice of the Peace for trial, when I supposed they could do nothing more in such cases than commit them, and that the County or District Court was the proper tribunal for such culprits to be tried before. And again, Mr. Editor, I should like to ask those individuals at Emory’s Crossing, whose sluices were robbed, and who were the principal prosecuting witnesses in the case, why it is that they did not make their appearance at Nevada at the farce, if not trial, that was attempted to be played on Thursday last ?— If they were notsummoned, some of the legal fraternity have not done their duty; and if they were summoned, they should answer for neglecting such an important matter.— Justice should prevail and the guilty should be punished.
