Than has been given from time to tine "a our

The election for County officers, which
took place upon the lst of April, exhibited
the fact dat although party liucs have been
drawn, they have not been drawn with such
Strciurss rs To prevent rte VruTr trutTt q,
c,slng lhclr owu opinions. The ticket elect.
ed exhibits fair hdu,iNturc of Wing aud
Dcmocrniic principles. Tho election was
Wuut aSru'nE opc, oDd so"dao'cd' With
splfit, hut good tceltng. Tho principal siruR-
gle was between Mr. Townrs,ihe Wing nom.
lneo for Sheriff, Col. J. J. Bryant. the Demo |
cratic nominee, and Col, Jack Hays, the In /
dependent candidate. The latter was elect T.
ell 10y lnrgc majority, and duly installed IN
to office. During the carly portion OF the /
month, the announcement Of the discovery
of Trinidad bay and n snic hnrbor between .
this port aud the Columbia, created much
cNcitcmcnt aud produced very great de.
gree Of speculation aud interest. Parties
were forming, vessels fitted eu,, md Hli were
agpg for the new III Dorado. The hay has
been discovered, landing effected aud nc-
cording to our latest accounts several ilouC.
fishing towns are sprlnging up upon the
banks Of the new bay. II is thought that
this spot will be only second Ia the port of I
san francisco, and will prove OF the utmost
advantage NJ an easy and speedy mode Of
communication with tho Northern mines
From nll We can learn It j. not n safe harbor
AT nll times, aud our knowledge of tbs locate
is ns yet so imperfect that We cannot express
a decided opinion upon It's advantages. The
fate of Bachc, Browning and Peoples, nttcn-
dant upon It's settlement, is most affecting
