We were conducted by the laborers los
feet into the bowels Of the earth, and
by the light of candle we could dis
cover the vein of quartz about three feet
in width, and from Appearances mex
haustable. We assembled to the sur-
face, azamined the rock and found that
gold was generally diffused through it,
though not in as large quantities as we
have seen in other leads,-we then OK
amined another, about 100 feet from the
first and saw about u ton of quartz that
was broken up we could discover the
gold withoG. the aid Of a glass. The
owners Of the claim have sent q portion
of this rock to San Francisco, and the
result of the assay by Mr.. Motif was
about IS per cent. This mine will be

DuEL---Man Killed.--A duel took
place to day on the Yuba, about eighteen
miles from here, on the spot of the dis
puted Chinese claims, o. which we have
ltrequently spoken, between man
named Geo. M Dibble, formerly Mid
shipman, and E. B. Lundy, familiarity
known as Jim Lundy, Canadian, both
of this city, the former of whom WAS
killed.
A trivial dispute had arisen few
evenings previously, during convivial
party-on conumdrum, during which
Dibbell called Lundy q lar and to
which Lundy replied with opprobious
epithets. In consequence, Dibble chal-
lenged Lundy. and the challenge was
accepted the second of Lundy being
Charles +. G. Morse, of this city. The
Ipreliminaries were arranged by Gen.
Moorhcad, the second of Dibble, and
Lundy's second-the parties to stand at
Is PAGES, and use Colts revolvers At
tho signal given Lundy fred, Dibblo
reserving his FIRE. He had previous
ly declared his intention to draw
Lundys FIRE, and then shoot him. After
L's. fire, d. called out with an oath,
"you have fred too soon." His second
asked, ''are you satisfied at which d.
opened his coat and showed where ball
had PISSED into one side and ont of the
other. He pushed aside those who
stepped to support him, and walked
about $50 yards, and expired in about
twenty minutes.
From information laid before him,
Justice Anderson issued warrant this
morning, but the officer arrived on tho
ground too late to arrest the fatal event.
He however took Lundy in charge and
the seconds came voluntarily.
Thus one moro scene is added to the
bloody drama of duelling-one more
soul has been sent into eternity-to sa-
tisfy the barbarous requisites of a falsely
termed code of honor. For one of the
seconds in this case we have warm
personal friendship, and we should
deeply regret any evil that might befal
him. But as long as men will act as
mid-wives to deliver these monstrous
iniquities, the severest penalty of the
law should reward them In moment
of blind passion, smarting under real or
imagined insult, man may crave tho
blood of his adversary, butif he seeks
it by the means the murderer EMPLOYS,
he knows his responsibility in the eve
of the law, and is thus deferred in con-
summating his object. But when he
can find q willing agent, to carry his
messages, and arrange his preliminaries,
under tho shield of public sentiment,
he coolly kills his man, and is saccounted
a hero. Therefore the law should be
made to touch the second who is the
real promoter of the affair, for without
his concurrence, the principalin ninety-
nine cases out of an hundred d, it would
stop in his design. Every man of honor
should refuse to do the dirty work. Of
a duel, and every one who consents to
DO it should feel the weight of the laws,
just vengeance as fully as the principal.

New PApER.--We have received the

Company diverges from the Stanislaus,''
about five miles from Sonora, and with
in its limits there are now being con-

that he is cut Of sorts-a common cons

that where nature has properly distri-

though sorts may " correct all errors in

SOUTHERN CoNvENrIoN.-ln the Post
of the 2Sth and Goth, we find the pro-
ceedings in full of the Convention at
Santa Barbara, for the division Of the
State. In the report, we find, what we
expected, that many in the Convention
were opposed to the union with the
southern territory, of the populous and
wealthy city of San Francisco. We
have always seen the incongruity of the
af6liation Of the dissimilar elements con-
tanned in that city and the southern
counties provided there was any force
in the prominent reason given by the
South for division. We think it is
the policy of San Francisco TO merge
itself into the southern territory to
escape the burden Of State govern.
mept, but this escape could be but tenn
porary, and now that the South has
given it the cold shoulder, we expect
the San Francisco editors will be down
on the idea of division.
Mr.. Brent. of Los Angeles, said
"lt was proposed to join together the
great city of San Francisco, and the
counties Of San Joaquin and Tuolumne
with the southern portion of the State,
so as to form this new one. If this were
effected, the people of the South would
be crushed to n greater extent even
than at present. He wished it to be
understood that if there be suoh q pro-
jeet on foot, it would fail. If this Con-
vention leave this boundary line an open
question, they will leave another oues-
tion open, now little thought of, namely,
another southern State, with its U. S.
Senators and two members of Congress,
II this Convention that had been special
ly elected for this object were not COM
peient to designate boundary line, how
could the Legislature do it, who were
not elected for such purpose. IF an
other State were brought in with the
city Of San Francisco and the valleys
of San joaquin, Mariposa and Tuolumne,
what would the South gain by it =? Moth
ing would be gained. 1t would only be
a change of master, and as your CONF
mittee thought that such course would
be equally injurious with continuance o
of the existing state of things, they had
framed the proposed boundary line ac-
cordingly."
Mr.. Ogier asked what good "would
it do Los Angeles, Santa Barbara and
Monterey, to be severed from their pre-
sent come ction and joined to San Fran
cisco, Calaveras, Tuolumnc, Mariposa
and San Joaquin ? No benefit what
ever would accrue, but their condition
would be much worse. At present they
might be able to pick up few crumbs
that fell from the table, but by the pro
posed arrangement for new State they
would be utterly helpless and power
lessn
We do not believe the State will be
divided this twenty years to come. The
northern counties will not be drummed
into the matter-they will wish 10 wait
and to see for themselves, and if San
Francisco throws its weight against di-
vision, the matter is sure to remain in
statue quo. At any rate, the next Le-
gislature is not the body to decide this
question, for they were not elected in
view Of it, and they should let it rest.
