PRoBABLE MURDER. "A correspondent
of the Marysville Herald, writing from
Eight Mile Ranch, says, that The re-
mains of man have been recently
found near the Sonorian Comp. The
deceased had lain there some time. A
bullet hole and large cash were plainly
visible in the left side, with other marks
of violence. The body bad apparently
been dragged q considerable distance
by the feet, as the clothes were in dis
order about the upper part of the per-
son. The deceased had evidently been
we'll dressed, and bore the appearance
of young man. He is supposed to have
been murdered and robbed, one side
pocket being cut off. In the remaining
pocket, a small sum Of money was found,
and piece of poetry purportns to have
been written by his cousin, Harriet P,
Green, of Albion, Calhoun Co., Michi-
gan, in answer to a farewell letter, ad-
dressed to Isaac Pray, Of the same place,

A few small articles were also found
upon the deceased,
The remains were inferred by the
side of the new road leading across the
plain, about six miles from Marysville.

CITY OF SEvENTY-SIX.---Many COM
panies have formed during the past sea-
son in this vicinity, for operations with
machinery in quartz. Two mills com
menced running there a little while,
but from the heavy falls OF snow which
covered the quartz, the companies were
unable to continue, and have ceased
until spring The mills in question
were erected more with a view to to an
early commencement after the disap-
pearance of snow than with the expec-
taton of doing much this winter t has
been demonstrated that the quartz in
the above locality is very rich, portions
assayed yielding from TWO to four dol

Wing STATE Cow ENTIoE. We have
some inquiries from the interior, in re-
gard to the filling up of vacancies in the
various County Central Committees, in
view of the coming Wing State Conven-
tion Some wish to know how the ya-
cancies can be filled by the remaining
members. In Others all the members
of their committees have left the coun-
ty, and it is desired to know whether an
appointment Of suitable number of
delegates to attend the Convention will
not answer all purposes. We suppose
that there would be no objection to this
mode in counties where the committees
have been virtually dissolved by the re-
moval of the members. In regard to
filling vacancies we presume the wings
of every county can pursue whatever
course they please. AT all events, We
hope to see full representation at the
Convention from every county in the
State, as it is a matter of Importance
that we should have u fair expression OF
! opinion, Courier.

U. s. MINr.--On every side we hear
a mint spoken of as pressing want, and
the neglect to give it to US before IL Il
gievous wrong. The miners are the
greatest sufferers, for they lose about
two dollars on every ounce of gold that
they dig. But they alone are not the
only losers every interest in the State
suffers from this unjust tax on our great
est product. We are compelled to send
our gold abroad for coinage, paying the
shippers and steamers large per cent
age Tor their trouble; and then a portion
of it comes back again in coin, to shave
us over again A mint in California is
not only demanded as a matter of JUS
tice, to give the miners full value for
the product Of their labor, but it is to
be desired as measure Of great impor-
tance as regards the permanent pros
perity of our State. 1t is to be hoped
that the next Congress will not so will
fully neglect our interests as did the
cast Sonora Herald.

RIA correspondent of the Louisville
Journal makes the following caustic
criticism on the translations Of Homer by
Pope, and his rival, Teckell. Quoting
from Macaulay, he says
Neither of the rivals can be said to
have translated the Had, unless. indeed.
the word translated be used in the sense
which it bears in the Midsummer Nights
Dream When Bottom makes his APP
pearance with an ASS head instead Of
his own, Peter Qnincc cxclaims Bless
thee, Bottom bless thee thou art trans
lated" In regard to Pope, there are
many Titan;as who would say -
m ne ea : are much cnamourcd Of thy note"
But Hopes Homer is no more like the
original than Il piece Of turned wood is
like the lofty tree Of the f1rest. Pope
has pulled the Grecian robe from the
oil bard an dressed him up in coat and
pantaloons of the newest and most FASH
ionable cut. Homer is all simplicity,
while Pope is all polish. One of the
old ballad writers wonld have translated
Homer better.

IMPROVEMENT OF THr SAN Jo'QrIN -
The Stockton Republican makes the tol-
lowing suggestions relative to the i'm
proyement of the San joaquin river
1T is obvious to all that if the east
channel Of the San Joaquin could be
widdened and deepened, the facilities
for navigation to Stockton would be con-
siderably increased This object could
be attained by very simple process.
The San Joaquin, from the mouth to the
Stansaus, branches out into three chan
nels, two of which have a westerly di-
rection, and the third describes Il north
erly cour G, till we reach the mouth of
the Stockton slough, The two former
channels are useless for navigable pur-
poses, and pass through an immense
area of waste tule country and over
sand bars and snags, which would prove
insurmountable obstacles to steamers or
vessels Of ordinary burden. Besides,
the cast channel, by reason of the nu-
merous windings of the other branches,
is the shortest distance to the upper wa
ters OF the San Joaquin. Now, it ap-
pears to us that if the mouths of the two
channels of which speak, were to be
closed, the water Of the river would be
confined to one bed, and the increased
volume would soon widen the stream,
and perhaps force straight pa sage
through its present winding course -
The mouths 10 which we alIude, might
be easily damned, and at small ex-
pense. The advantages we should gain
wonld be numerous, for the stream would
be deep all the year round. There
would be no greater danger of an over
flow than there is at The present time.
We have spoken to several practical
men, who are connected with our steam
ers, on the subject, and they unite with
US in believing that the navigation
would be improved thereby in every
particular"

Tie Aev Torn Tunnel. This Gel
cbrated Tunnel, which has been push
ed through three or four hundred feet
of solid rock the past nine months has
finally been completed. The Tunnel
has been ran in from both sides Of the
hill at once, and the rock that has
bee, penetrated, is so hard that some~
times not more than three inches on
side could be made in a day. The
object is to get passage for the wa
ter of Deer Creek, to be taken about
fourteen miles further, in a ditch, to
the Suckers Flat. The company
think the portion of the Greek that
will be drained is rich.

Two Hungarian officers, who felt them
selves aggreved at some remarks re-
specting kossuth in the New York Her
aid, called on Mr.. Bennett, and chal-
lenged him to mortal combat. Accord
ing the Tribune's account, the challeng-
ed party remarked in substance that he
would "see 'em dom'd first"
This affair was pretty well got through,
but what will Bennett do when the in
dignant Lola Montes come to square her
accounts That box with two pills,
and one of them poisoned, will strike
terror to him who has trifled with the
fair fame of the lovely Lola. They say
that pistol bore looks as large as the
muzzle of a six FOUNDER to one who is
being ushard for the first time into the
mysteries of the dueiling code and it is
likely those pills would appear quite big
enough for the heaviest field piece, in
the eyes of the Napoleon of the press

From SAN DIEGo.-The steamer Sea
Bird arrived at San Francisco, Wednes-
day evening last, bringing dates from
San Diego and Los Angeles to the 18th.
The former intelligence of the suppress
sion Of the Indian difficulties is con-
irmed. Bill Marshall, and Caliior-

our latest advices, for instigating the
Indians to revolt, were found guilty and
condemned to death. They were hung
on the 18th inst Antonio Cara has
been captured, and will be tried by the

that he will be condemed and executed.
1t is thought his execution will cause

The Jersey County Company, from

fered much, Il part Of their flume being

Aume out. The Craycroft Company,
about a mile above, up the North Fork,
have lost their hume, and | believe
every flume above this is either taken
out, carried away or abandoned, or is
in process of being taken out The
Steamboat Bar Company's dam and

trining damage TO their head dam
The New York Aqucduct Company is
also among the fortunate ones. The
