Accident TO the california

We learn from Capt. E. KEIGHT, the efficient
Agent Of the P NJ s. Company, that an express
arrived from Capt. BUDD, Of the California yes.
terday afternoon, to the Office OF the Company,
from San Diego, stating that the steamer had
broken her cross tail and connecting links, on the
lst inst, about one hundred miles south of San
Diego.
The letters Of Capt. Budd were dated on the
Sd inst, at which time the vessel was fifty miles
below San Diego, under sail, the weather very
thick and foggy. The captain expressed the nope
that it would clear up by the next day, so that he
might see and hail the down steamer which would
probably pass him on the 9Th
Capt. Budds dispatches were put on shore fifty
miles below San Diego, snd reached that place on
the 5th, by express, when a messenger was I'M
mediately dispatched by the Agents OF the Com
pany there, for this city. The individual who rode
the express, was native of California aud ia the
transit hither. used fifteen horses, making the trip
in less than eigH days.
The vessel had a spare cross tail on board bat
as the connecting links we're broken, it could not
be used.
The steamer Oregon will leave here TO morrow
the 5th, and will take with her the necessary ma
chinery, end will doubtless find the California at
San Diego. a few hours will then serve 10 put
her in complete running order again.

The Cholers, we are glad to state, is fast disap-
pearing from the Island. The Northside papers
have not recorded single case as Occurring ia
that part Of the country although the disease has
appeared in the mountains OF Westmorelsnd; the
town OF Savannah la, Mar having az yet been still
fortunate in escaping free from it.

a Dry Winter.

I'll
MeSsrS. Editors There il no running water IN
the guches and but little more in the creeks than
during last summer. A great many OF the miners
have abandoned the places where they built
their cabins, and are now at work on the creeks
where there is water. Myself and great many
others have been using a machine called the
Long Tom. 1t will wash as much dirt as four
cradles. 1t is generally used ia old diggings, aud
then every particle OF dirt can be put through II
the dirt will average two cents to the basket fall.
fair wages can be made. 1t requires plenty OF
water and three feet fall. In order to work pls-
GERS at some distance from thebanks OF the creeks
which have considerable fall, the miners have
made dams on the creeks and turned the water
down a ditch dug on the sides of the bills, and
running nearly level The end OF the ditch ter
inmates at q considerable elevation and at some
distance from the creek. / know Of one ditch
100 yards long. A plan Of great merit for bring
ing alter into the dry diggings has been designed
by Thomas Frazer, a skillful miner OF ankee
Hill Dggings BE proposes to take the water
from creek that is tributary Of the Stanislaus,
seven miles from Pine log Crossing. The creek
has sufficient elevation if the water is carried in
canal along the sides OF the hills. parallel with the
Stanisaus, to carry it over gap at the crossing.
IL will then have sufficient elevation 10 take 1t 20
the heads Of all the gulches. 1t would supply the
following diggings with water Saco, Georgetown,
Yorktown, Chinese, and great many minor pla-
GERS. $4,000 was all that was subscribed to dig
the canal, and l suppose it would cost at least
$4,000. The dry diggings can never be worked
out unless such canals are made and the compa-
MES which undertake the work aud the dlstriou-
ton of the water will have to be regulated By act
of Legislature. Besides using the water for min
ing it could be used for irrigating land and by
this means 80, 900 acres of land could be brought
under cultivation in this county. The subject is
one of great Importance, and merits your serious
attention Alta California.
