Ey- We see it stated by the last Wayne
Co., Dem, that an impudent fellow has
taken the authority'of centuring the editor
Of that paper, for speaking boldly and fear
1sssly his Dntiment on subjects agitating
the public mind, as if he had not right as
freeman to speak out on any question
which he supposed to be to the best inter
est Of ouf Republican government; but the
writer certal mst BE- aaass, to think be-
cause man is an eHlA of public Jour
nal, that he is declared from the right Of
speech. Who would have thought that
such man lived in America? where it is
said to be the land of the free and home
ofthe brave Such tyranny our ifs,fathers
fought against and some wretch fool {as
made breach to violate and break o<ef
what they intended to remain permanent,
it was their blood that was spiltto gain the
great liberty we enjoy, and who dares to
cast aside their patriotic deeds.

Extract from letter dated August 9th,

THE miners here have assumed the APP
appearance and acquired the conyeniences
of settled towns Every bar has it stores
and its meat market. Here there are five,
and always fresh beef in the market. Ev-
cry thing is sold at Mill Columa) prices.
The miner shonld come to the bars with
nothing but his blankets, however, if he
comes with animals there are ranches who
take to Craze at $2o per month. There
are about 200 miners here, two-thirds ca

THE GOLDEN EMIGRATION.
The Alta California. of the 1st of Sep
tember, says:
we have no date by which to show con-
clusively the emigration to California over
land this year, but our accounts FROM the
north represent the entire body in a pros
porous and healthful state. We are ena-
bled to add that about one fifth are already
in the country, and the remainder vigor-
ously pressing forward, in companies,
which are every day pouring into the Sac
mento valley.
The arrivals for the month, ending Sept
98, at this port, by sea; is as follows:
Americans 4,271
Foreigners 1851
5,802
Ofwhich number 122 Were females.
Number oftons of shipping in the har-
Dor of San Francisco this day, 4.344.
THE OVERLAND EMIGRATION.
The Alta California, of the 18th ofSep-
tember, in alluding to the overland emf
grant, says:
1T is necessary that we should state, in
order to relieve anxieties and allay the fears
which have been but unduly created, re-
garding the general prosperity of the emf
grafton overland this year, that latest ac-
counts are highly encouraging, and repre-
sent the entire body full FIVE weeks earlier
than the emigration of any preceding year.
The friends Of emigrating parties resi-
ding in the States, may rest assured Of the
general safety ofall, and that aside from
the ordinary fatigue and privations of the
journey, no suffering has as yet been ex-
perienced.
About $4,000 persons, mostly young
men, compose the overland emigration
this year. A. portion of this body is al
ready in the country, and parties are near
ly every day arriving. Captain r. Owen
who piloted company across the country
by the Santa Fe route, diverging to the
northern road, crossing the Sierra Nevada,
and entering California near Johnson's
rancho, reports the emigration in an unu-
sually forward state with provisions plen-
ty and to spare, The grass along the road
had been abundant, and but in one place
was it believed a scarcity of food for stock
would be encountered This was above
the sink of Mary's river, and here by aban-
doning the road subsistence could be
procured.

PUBLIC CEMETERY.

An effort is now making to purchase abou.
six acres of ground, of VI. NJ. STRONG, Esqr.
for the purpose of a Cemetery. Those wish
ing to take hold of this long neglected matter
can do so by subscribing twenty dollars
For particulars call on NJ M. Strong, John
Bracken, or G. " Goldman.
1t is to be hoped that this effort will be sue
cessful, and that our friends will no longer be
buried, as they are, literally in the streets.
Most Of our citizens seem not to be aware,
that the only grave yard we have, except the
Catholic, is in the street, and on lots owned
by individuals, where we bury without the
consent of those who own the ground, and
from whence the corpses are liable to be ejec-
ted at any moment.
