A number of names have been mentioned . in connection with the position, and among . others, that of John R. McConnell, of Nevada . county. So far as we have been able to. ascertain public opinion, after considerable inguiry, the selection.of Mr. McConnell to . fill the vacant seat, would be entirely accep. table to the people of the Northern portion -of the State, which is, beyond all question, entitled to the appointment. The mining interest is an extensive one. Mr. McConnell ‘has for several years practised as a lawyer . ‘before the Courts in which this class of cases . was more particularly involved. { Be is familiar-not-only with the local regulations of . tion, are numerous. For instance, Congress . . °, ! . Should such an-event occur, prominent-reason why the voters have‘here. . a t i ¢ a . . . it will devolve upon tue Governor to appoint 'tofore mantfested so much indifference in . relation to the Convention. The last Legislature passed an act authorizing the people to vote at the same time and piaces as they vote for‘menrbers of the next Legislature'in the coming election, for or against the calling of a Convention to revise and amend the present State’ Constitution. Should their decision be favorable to a‘Convention, it will devolve upon the Legislature which meets in January, to-say when and where the Convention shall assem. ble, to specify the time at-which its delegates shall be chosen, and the number ef which it shall be composed. The objects contemplated by the Conven‘the miners, but the laws peculiarly applica-. has been petitioned to cut off a slice of Utah ble in the adjudication of mining suits, and Territory—the Washoe region—and attach . would have the advantage of being from a portion of the State which furnishes a large amount of business annually to be finally disposed of before the Supreme Tribunal. . In the list of those named as worthy to succeed Judge Baldwin, we find no man . more capable than John R. McConnell. He ranks among the very first lawyers of Cali. . { fornia. His mind is clear and vigorous. He has been.a hard student, and in a constitutional argument, has certainly no superior on the Pacific coast. He arrives at logical . conclusions from a course of sound and! rational argument. In a legal, or even a political argument, he is never without preparation. Being a deep thinker, he is always a profound and ready reasoner—qualities eminently required in a Judge, and which } it to California. In that event, it would be necessary to-enlarge our boundaries. Congress has also been asked to grant its permission for a division of the agricultural from the mining eounties of the State.— Should that permission be given, it will be necessary to contract our boundaries. Here are two important propositions, at the outset, both.of which, however, are contingent, and neither of which has, thus far, we believe, been even incidentally discussed among the arguments pro and cen, in relation to the Convention. So much of the present Constitution, as . relates to the distribution of the powers of the State Government, requires amendment, by the adoption of additional guards and checks, to prevent the interference of one ‘but few of those spoken of for this place,. department with the uties of another.— possess in any comparable degree. Laying aside all considerations of a per sonal or political nature, and regarding Mr. McConnell exclusively in the light of one . whose spotless integrity and comprehensive legal attainments entitle him to the appointment, we have no hesitation in saying, that by conferring it upon him, Gov. Downey would give very general satisfaction to the people of the Northern mining counties, and secure the services of one of the very ablest gentlemen for the position in the State. i ee Tue Doveras Ratty.—On Tuesday night the good people of North San Juan were summoned together, at “the war-cry of the Douglas,” to hear addresses from several of their perambulating orators. Uumphbrey Griffith, Esq., one of their State Electors, was the first to mount the stand in front of the Union Hotei, from which he spoke upwards of an hour, in reply to some of the arguments of his Republican opponents, and in elucidation of Democratic doctrine—concluding with an earnest appeal to his audience to preserve the Union of the States, by striking down its enemies at the ballot-boxes. John R. McConnell followed, in one of those able and logical speeches for which he is distinguished, and occupied the stand for more than two hours—discussing quite a number of pertinent subjects, to the evident satisfactionand entertainment of the meeting. At alate hour, A. B. Dibble was called upon, and responded from the stand, briefly, and principally in urging the claims of the Douglas nominees in Nevada county for the Senate and Assembly. The meeting was a creditable one, both as respected its numbers, and the general good order which prevailed. —— Repcsiican Megetinc.—Punctual to appointment, on Wednesday night, Leland Stanford and W. H. Weeks addressed their Republican friends of North San Juan, in front of the Union Hotel. The former is a deliberate and sensible speaker, who presents his arguments in a plain, matter-of-fact style, and no doubt with effect, upon thinking peopie; but to the latter (Mr Wicks) belongs the duty of awaking different trains of thought, and stimulating different emotions and sentiments in the minds of his hearers. He has a mastery over language, and an admirable control of his own voice and actions. At times he is argumentative and persuasive; again, sarcastic, denunciatory and witty; at all times eloquent, interesting and familiar. He kept his bearers together from. the beginning to the end of his remarks, occasionally convulsing them with laughter, and eliciting from them frequent rounds of applause. Weeks is the best man the Republicans could have chosen for an Elector. GROVER AND BAKER.—For tome time past, a furious but bloodless war has been going on be tween the California agents of the rival Sewing Maghines, to prove which is the most meritorious amongst the numerous different models contending for that honor. Ifthe ladies were left to decide this question, it could easily be put to rest’ We know of one, who is an expert in the use of both the Grover & Baker and Wheeler & ‘Wilson machines, who pronounces the former by far the best, in simplicity of construction, t, and on account of the excellent work which it rapidly performs. Others are of the same opinion, which we hesitate not to say, is well founded. Refer to Grover & Baker's aa-. vertisement;.in to-dsy’s paper. sige . _ There is now a constant tendency tewards encroachment—especially on the part of the Supreme Court, as has been more particuiarly shown in some of its recent decisions. We propose, furthermore, by the action of this Convention, so to amend the Constituion, as— Ist, To make the sessions of the Legislature biennial. : 2d, To establish some educational quallification for members of the Legislature. 3d, To locate permanently the capital of the State. 4th, To define more particularly the meaning of the words “Sunday excepted,” as relates to the length of time the Governor may detain a bill ia bis bands after it bas passed the Legislature. 5th, To limit the appointing power to the Legislature and the Governor. 6th, To correct the ambiguity of sec. 21, art. 4, and some other portions of the present Constitution. 7th, To provide some better method to enforce sec. 22, of art. 4, of the present Constitution. 8th, To remove tbe individual liability clause, excepting in certain specified cases. 9th, To limit the exercise of the pardoning power. 10th, To abolish the useless and expensive office of Attorney General. 11th, To remodel the Supreme Court. Five or seven Judges should occupy its bench, instead of three, who, if chosen at all by the people, should be designated at some other time than a general election, and hold their office for a longer period than two years, and the Court have appellate jurisdiction in no case under five hundred dollars. 12th, To diminish the number of inferior Courts, and enlarge the powers and duties of Justices of the Peace. 13th, To establish appellate jurisdiction from the inferior to the District Courts. 14th, To abolish the election of Clerk of the Supreme Court by the people, and vest the powen of appointment in the Governor. 15th, To locate the Supreme Court permanently at the capital of State, and prevent the Judges from becoming lobby-members and log-rollers ou the floor of the Legislative chambers. 16th, To insert aciause preventing the Legislature from granting public oflicers leave of absence from the State. 17th, To abolish tbe militia system, and provide for the encouragement of the volunteer service. 18th, To strike out sec. 1, of art. 9, providing for the election of a Superintendent of Public Instruction—the duties of which, by law, can easily be vested in the Secretary of State, without additional cost to the Treaswy ath, To strike out the dead-letter clause relating to dueling. 20th, To make defalcations in office a penal offence, and abolish the humbug system of requiring bonds. 2lst, Fo change the clause requiring the reasg year to commence on the first day of uly. 224, To do away with the publication ef the laws in Spanish. 23d, To vest the power some otherwhere than in the Legislature, to change peoples names. These are some of the amendments, it occurs to us, which the organic law of the State ought to undergo. Each separate proposition is susceptible of being enforced by good argument; and in order, if possible, to secure the reforms, together with others not named, weshall certainly be among the number of those who vote for calling the Constitutional Convention. stint il dani ilies atanciv as De Sak remedy'this evil in the following manner: It is proposed to cross the dividing ridge between the town and the South Yuba, ad low down in the . canon of that stream, commence a capacions tunnel, which shall be cut through the hill at a . proper ascending grade, for nearly a mile, until . it reaches the subterranean line of Humbug Creek, when a shaft will be raised a perperidicu‘lar hight of one hundred and nine feet; thus . affording an outlet for the tailings, which it is . now found impossible to dispose of to advantage. A joint stock company is to be formed for carrying this grand project into effect. Books were opened a.couple of weeks ago, and thirty shares . of stock subscribed for on the instant. The istime required for the completion of the work, ' would greatly depend upon the nature of ‘the . rock encountered in its progress. We have’heard of no estimate being made as to itsprobable cost, although we are told that seven men propose‘to . undertake it for a specified per dim, which is to . be allowed them in stock, on condition of being also clothed, fed, and all their necessary tools and applianees furnished. The claim-holders, property-owners, business ;men and population generally—not only in'the immediate vicinity, but for miles around North Bloomfiield—should lend their aid and encouragement to this project. Should it prove successful, the gold-bearing soil could be worked ina circuit of ten or twelve miles, and untold millions of dollars exhumed. For, as we have already remarked, ‘the entire region abounds in mineral wealth, as has been proved by actual prospecting, and labor in some instances already performed. The prospects taken from the bed of Humbug Creek alone, and which it is found impossible'to work for want of drainage, it is be. lieved would more than twenty times pay for the tunnel, even though it should cost over a hun. dred thousand dollars. nn ImuiGRATION>—The Ridge road between this point and Moore’s Flat, presents the spectale, at . frequent intervals, of numerous families encamped at springs, wells and running brooks, which compose a portion ‘of the incoming emigration. Two of these families have located about a mile and a half east of North San Juan, five or six at Arnold’s Ranch, and others, perhaps in the remote or immediate neighborhood. They arrived across the Sierras via the Henness Pass, and made a detour from the turnpike, which brought them down an excellent mountain road into the beautifel region of country designated. We want more of this immigration, and could easily secure it, if the citizens of the Three Flats— Woolsey’s, Moore’s and Orleans—would only bestir themseives in setting forth the many advantages which the country offers for an industrious population, and the facility with which they can enter the county, by several excellent thoroughfares,. and reach every portion of the soil where it would be desirable to make a permanent settlement. -+ G+ ——_ sii ORLEANS FLAT.—This town is not now se flourishing as it once was. The point of land upon which it is located, extending out from the mountain is supposed to be the richest of its diggings; and the labor of ten years has enabled the miners to approach its immediately populated boundaries. This encroachment will require a number of houses to be removed whose foundations are now being impinged upon, before they can proceed much farther in their piping operations. The town has lately diminished in population. But it is confessed if the spirit of investigation were more abroad, and the inteior of the contiguous mountains explored, that their riches would be found ample enough to inspire livlier hopes for the future stability and prosperity of the town. . ——-@ StreET RuppisH.—Some time ago we admonished merchants and others against throwing pieces of broken boxes containing nails, into the streets. Atthat time, Bob Howland had his valuable black horse severely injured by running a nail in his foot, which rendered him unfit to be used for several weeks. A few days since, from a similar cause, one of Jim McCue’s stage horses had to be taken from the team and placed under medical treatment. These accidents should be a sufficient argument to induce guilty parties hereafter to be more careful about committing the offence complained of.

The word Stationer, originally, signified ‘Bookseller, from bis ‘occupying a stand or station, but ds the publication and sale of books increased, it‘was separated from that of the other, the nathe Stationer remaining with the vender of Paper, ‘Ink, Pens, &c. At this day, and in our country, a ‘Book and Stationery store‘is a'pérfect thermometer of the nature, extent and quality -of the community. Wherever you see a neat, well kept establishment of this kind, with a gentlemanly and intelligent proprietor, you may be sure you are in the midst of “an ititéllectual, refined and ‘well informed people.

Accordingly after having spent one year in preparation, the requisite arrangements were consumated for receiving regular supplies from the Mills and Manufactories of the United States, England, France and Germany, and the enterprise launched in San Francisco, early in 1860, under the name of A. L. Bancroft & Co., Mr. H. H. Bancroft becoming junior partner in the firm. So far it has proved a decided success, there not being a town of any consequence in Califgrnia, Oregon, Washington or Utah which does not contain one or more customers of this house.

That whole section of country is occupied by an intelligent, but it may be, in some instances, a discouraged population, which accounts for the decrease of its numbers in i certain localities during the last few years. Moore’s Flat has profited more or less by the misfortunes, in this respect, of ether communities. But, ome fact is apparent—it would be greatly to the advantage of all settlement of immigrants amongst them.— These have a humbler ambition to gratify, a greater amount of energy—they come te California te secure homes for their families, and in the pursuit of that object, will labor harder for less remuneration ; propose and prosecute abler plans ; and in fact, by the aduption of a hundred different expedients unknown to, and keld in contempt by the old miner, succeed in developing a wealth whose existence he never condescended to imagine existed. +93 ne Horse Tuteves ARReESTED.—Two men Were brought to the city yesterday, and lodged in jail to await their trial for horse stealing.— The names of these fellows are John Adams and Henry Simpson. Itappeasthaton Tuesduy they stole two horses near Eagleville; one from a Mr. Bracey and the other from a person whose name we could not learn.— Tuesday night they robbed some teamsters at the Winthrop House, seven of vight miles from Strawberry Valley, cf sundry small sums of money. On Wednesday, they were overtaken by Bracey, at the Deer Creek House, in Nevada county, on the San Juan road, and artested him, who brought them to this city yesterday. The horses were recovered. A gold ring with the letters R. G. marked on it was found in their possession. —Marysvilie Daily Express, Oct. 19.

A number of names have been mentioned . in connection with the position, and among . others, that of John R. McConnell, of Nevada . county. So far as we have been able to. ascertain public opinion, after considerable inguiry, the selection.of Mr. McConnell to . fill the vacant seat, would be entirely accep. table to the people of the Northern portion -of the State, which is, beyond all question, entitled to the appointment. The mining interest is an extensive one. Mr. McConnell ‘has for several years practised as a lawyer . ‘before the Courts in which this class of cases . was more particularly involved. { Be is familiar-not-only with the local regulations of . tion, are numerous. For instance, Congress . . °, ! . Should such an-event occur, prominent-reason why the voters have‘here. . a t i ¢ a . . . it will devolve upon tue Governor to appoint 'tofore mantfested so much indifference in . relation to the Convention. The last Legislature passed an act authorizing the people to vote at the same time and piaces as they vote for‘menrbers of the next Legislature'in the coming election, for or against the calling of a Convention to revise and amend the present State’ Constitution. Should their decision be favorable to a‘Convention, it will devolve upon the Legislature which meets in January, to-say when and where the Convention shall assem. ble, to specify the time at-which its delegates shall be chosen, and the number ef which it shall be composed. The objects contemplated by the Conven‘the miners, but the laws peculiarly applica-. has been petitioned to cut off a slice of Utah ble in the adjudication of mining suits, and Territory—the Washoe region—and attach . would have the advantage of being from a portion of the State which furnishes a large amount of business annually to be finally disposed of before the Supreme Tribunal. . In the list of those named as worthy to succeed Judge Baldwin, we find no man . more capable than John R. McConnell. He ranks among the very first lawyers of Cali. . { fornia. His mind is clear and vigorous. He has been.a hard student, and in a constitutional argument, has certainly no superior on the Pacific coast. He arrives at logical . conclusions from a course of sound and! rational argument. In a legal, or even a political argument, he is never without preparation. Being a deep thinker, he is always a profound and ready reasoner—qualities eminently required in a Judge, and which } it to California. In that event, it would be necessary to-enlarge our boundaries. Congress has also been asked to grant its permission for a division of the agricultural from the mining eounties of the State.— Should that permission be given, it will be necessary to contract our boundaries. Here are two important propositions, at the outset, both.of which, however, are contingent, and neither of which has, thus far, we believe, been even incidentally discussed among the arguments pro and cen, in relation to the Convention. So much of the present Constitution, as . relates to the distribution of the powers of the State Government, requires amendment, by the adoption of additional guards and checks, to prevent the interference of one ‘but few of those spoken of for this place,. department with the uties of another.— possess in any comparable degree. Laying aside all considerations of a per sonal or political nature, and regarding Mr. McConnell exclusively in the light of one . whose spotless integrity and comprehensive legal attainments entitle him to the appointment, we have no hesitation in saying, that by conferring it upon him, Gov. Downey would give very general satisfaction to the people of the Northern mining counties, and secure the services of one of the very ablest gentlemen for the position in the State. i ee Tue Doveras Ratty.—On Tuesday night the good people of North San Juan were summoned together, at “the war-cry of the Douglas,” to hear addresses from several of their perambulating orators. Uumphbrey Griffith, Esq., one of their State Electors, was the first to mount the stand in front of the Union Hotei, from which he spoke upwards of an hour, in reply to some of the arguments of his Republican opponents, and in elucidation of Democratic doctrine—concluding with an earnest appeal to his audience to preserve the Union of the States, by striking down its enemies at the ballot-boxes. John R. McConnell followed, in one of those able and logical speeches for which he is distinguished, and occupied the stand for more than two hours—discussing quite a number of pertinent subjects, to the evident satisfactionand entertainment of the meeting. At alate hour, A. B. Dibble was called upon, and responded from the stand, briefly, and principally in urging the claims of the Douglas nominees in Nevada county for the Senate and Assembly. The meeting was a creditable one, both as respected its numbers, and the general good order which prevailed. —— Repcsiican Megetinc.—Punctual to appointment, on Wednesday night, Leland Stanford and W. H. Weeks addressed their Republican friends of North San Juan, in front of the Union Hotel. The former is a deliberate and sensible speaker, who presents his arguments in a plain, matter-of-fact style, and no doubt with effect, upon thinking peopie; but to the latter (Mr Wicks) belongs the duty of awaking different trains of thought, and stimulating different emotions and sentiments in the minds of his hearers. He has a mastery over language, and an admirable control of his own voice and actions. At times he is argumentative and persuasive; again, sarcastic, denunciatory and witty; at all times eloquent, interesting and familiar. He kept his bearers together from. the beginning to the end of his remarks, occasionally convulsing them with laughter, and eliciting from them frequent rounds of applause. Weeks is the best man the Republicans could have chosen for an Elector. GROVER AND BAKER.—For tome time past, a furious but bloodless war has been going on be tween the California agents of the rival Sewing Maghines, to prove which is the most meritorious amongst the numerous different models contending for that honor. Ifthe ladies were left to decide this question, it could easily be put to rest’ We know of one, who is an expert in the use of both the Grover & Baker and Wheeler & ‘Wilson machines, who pronounces the former by far the best, in simplicity of construction, t, and on account of the excellent work which it rapidly performs. Others are of the same opinion, which we hesitate not to say, is well founded. Refer to Grover & Baker's aa-. vertisement;.in to-dsy’s paper. sige . _ There is now a constant tendency tewards encroachment—especially on the part of the Supreme Court, as has been more particuiarly shown in some of its recent decisions. We propose, furthermore, by the action of this Convention, so to amend the Constituion, as— Ist, To make the sessions of the Legislature biennial. : 2d, To establish some educational quallification for members of the Legislature. 3d, To locate permanently the capital of the State. 4th, To define more particularly the meaning of the words “Sunday excepted,” as relates to the length of time the Governor may detain a bill ia bis bands after it bas passed the Legislature. 5th, To limit the appointing power to the Legislature and the Governor. 6th, To correct the ambiguity of sec. 21, art. 4, and some other portions of the present Constitution. 7th, To provide some better method to enforce sec. 22, of art. 4, of the present Constitution. 8th, To remove tbe individual liability clause, excepting in certain specified cases. 9th, To limit the exercise of the pardoning power. 10th, To abolish the useless and expensive office of Attorney General. 11th, To remodel the Supreme Court. Five or seven Judges should occupy its bench, instead of three, who, if chosen at all by the people, should be designated at some other time than a general election, and hold their office for a longer period than two years, and the Court have appellate jurisdiction in no case under five hundred dollars. 12th, To diminish the number of inferior Courts, and enlarge the powers and duties of Justices of the Peace. 13th, To establish appellate jurisdiction from the inferior to the District Courts. 14th, To abolish the election of Clerk of the Supreme Court by the people, and vest the powen of appointment in the Governor. 15th, To locate the Supreme Court permanently at the capital of State, and prevent the Judges from becoming lobby-members and log-rollers ou the floor of the Legislative chambers. 16th, To insert aciause preventing the Legislature from granting public oflicers leave of absence from the State. 17th, To abolish tbe militia system, and provide for the encouragement of the volunteer service. 18th, To strike out sec. 1, of art. 9, providing for the election of a Superintendent of Public Instruction—the duties of which, by law, can easily be vested in the Secretary of State, without additional cost to the Treaswy ath, To strike out the dead-letter clause relating to dueling. 20th, To make defalcations in office a penal offence, and abolish the humbug system of requiring bonds. 2lst, Fo change the clause requiring the reasg year to commence on the first day of uly. 224, To do away with the publication ef the laws in Spanish. 23d, To vest the power some otherwhere than in the Legislature, to change peoples names. These are some of the amendments, it occurs to us, which the organic law of the State ought to undergo. Each separate proposition is susceptible of being enforced by good argument; and in order, if possible, to secure the reforms, together with others not named, weshall certainly be among the number of those who vote for calling the Constitutional Convention. stint il dani ilies atanciv as De Sak remedy'this evil in the following manner: It is proposed to cross the dividing ridge between the town and the South Yuba, ad low down in the . canon of that stream, commence a capacions tunnel, which shall be cut through the hill at a . proper ascending grade, for nearly a mile, until . it reaches the subterranean line of Humbug Creek, when a shaft will be raised a perperidicu‘lar hight of one hundred and nine feet; thus . affording an outlet for the tailings, which it is . now found impossible to dispose of to advantage. A joint stock company is to be formed for carrying this grand project into effect. Books were opened a.couple of weeks ago, and thirty shares . of stock subscribed for on the instant. The istime required for the completion of the work, ' would greatly depend upon the nature of ‘the . rock encountered in its progress. We have’heard of no estimate being made as to itsprobable cost, although we are told that seven men propose‘to . undertake it for a specified per dim, which is to . be allowed them in stock, on condition of being also clothed, fed, and all their necessary tools and applianees furnished. The claim-holders, property-owners, business ;men and population generally—not only in'the immediate vicinity, but for miles around North Bloomfiield—should lend their aid and encouragement to this project. Should it prove successful, the gold-bearing soil could be worked ina circuit of ten or twelve miles, and untold millions of dollars exhumed. For, as we have already remarked, ‘the entire region abounds in mineral wealth, as has been proved by actual prospecting, and labor in some instances already performed. The prospects taken from the bed of Humbug Creek alone, and which it is found impossible'to work for want of drainage, it is be. lieved would more than twenty times pay for the tunnel, even though it should cost over a hun. dred thousand dollars. nn ImuiGRATION>—The Ridge road between this point and Moore’s Flat, presents the spectale, at . frequent intervals, of numerous families encamped at springs, wells and running brooks, which compose a portion ‘of the incoming emigration. Two of these families have located about a mile and a half east of North San Juan, five or six at Arnold’s Ranch, and others, perhaps in the remote or immediate neighborhood. They arrived across the Sierras via the Henness Pass, and made a detour from the turnpike, which brought them down an excellent mountain road into the beautifel region of country designated. We want more of this immigration, and could easily secure it, if the citizens of the Three Flats— Woolsey’s, Moore’s and Orleans—would only bestir themseives in setting forth the many advantages which the country offers for an industrious population, and the facility with which they can enter the county, by several excellent thoroughfares,. and reach every portion of the soil where it would be desirable to make a permanent settlement. -+ G+ ——_ sii ORLEANS FLAT.—This town is not now se flourishing as it once was. The point of land upon which it is located, extending out from the mountain is supposed to be the richest of its diggings; and the labor of ten years has enabled the miners to approach its immediately populated boundaries. This encroachment will require a number of houses to be removed whose foundations are now being impinged upon, before they can proceed much farther in their piping operations. The town has lately diminished in population. But it is confessed if the spirit of investigation were more abroad, and the inteior of the contiguous mountains explored, that their riches would be found ample enough to inspire livlier hopes for the future stability and prosperity of the town. . ——-@ StreET RuppisH.—Some time ago we admonished merchants and others against throwing pieces of broken boxes containing nails, into the streets. Atthat time, Bob Howland had his valuable black horse severely injured by running a nail in his foot, which rendered him unfit to be used for several weeks. A few days since, from a similar cause, one of Jim McCue’s stage horses had to be taken from the team and placed under medical treatment. These accidents should be a sufficient argument to induce guilty parties hereafter to be more careful about committing the offence complained of.

That whole section of country is occupied by an intelligent, but it may be, in some instances, a discouraged population, which accounts for the decrease of its numbers in i certain localities during the last few years. Moore’s Flat has profited more or less by the misfortunes, in this respect, of ether communities. But, ome fact is apparent—it would be greatly to the advantage of all settlement of immigrants amongst them.— These have a humbler ambition to gratify, a greater amount of energy—they come te California te secure homes for their families, and in the pursuit of that object, will labor harder for less remuneration ; propose and prosecute abler plans ; and in fact, by the aduption of a hundred different expedients unknown to, and keld in contempt by the old miner, succeed in developing a wealth whose existence he never condescended to imagine existed. +93 ne Horse Tuteves ARReESTED.—Two men Were brought to the city yesterday, and lodged in jail to await their trial for horse stealing.— The names of these fellows are John Adams and Henry Simpson.

On Wednesday, they were overtaken by Bracey, at the Deer Creek House, in Nevada county, on the San Juan road, and artested him, who brought them to this city yesterday. The horses were recovered.
