TO THE EDITOR or THE HERALD.
As the father Of family, beg to tender you my
SINGER, gratitude for the able aad fearless manner
in which you have repeatedly exposed the niquity
and beartessness Of the milk dealers in this city;
and particularly for your exceedingly instructive
and suggestive analysis of the deaths Of last week.
in your impression Of yesterday
My object in writing TO you now is to entreat you
to Use the nlu, niial position you occupy in the
same cause, and WELD your powerful pen contnu-
Vusly against this MOI strous and crying evil. until
il be abolished
remember while residing In Dablin. some years
years ago, that n similar cutlery raised against
the milk dealers of that city, and no redress could
be obtained, until the Bishop of Meath (Lindsay)
took the matter in hand turned dairyman for the
coed of his fellow creatures. and, in the neighborng
county of Meath, established the largest dairy ever
seen in IrelsnL The effects were speedily
sJIareIt, for the milk dealers, finding an
opposition created against them in so unexpected
a quarter, and which they well ksew would
supply nothing but the genuine arti lie, i'm nediatcly
changed their factories Of blue ruin and lime water
into milk depots, and the citizens generally enjoyed
the blessings Of pure milk. And the worthy bishop,
although he expended large fortune in getting up
hIs dairy In n style dairy was never seen in be-
fore, nevertheless, realized enormously by the ex
pertinent. Now, is II possible, MIR. Editor. that of
all the monicd men in this capital, there IL not one
who will follow Bishop Lpdsay's example, and
save thousands Of innocent lives, ut the same time
that he himself will realize handsome return for
his investment
Will you put this question in n forcible manner
before the public, and create an opposition in the
trade, based on honesty and justice, which will
more eff ctually stop the nuisance than oil the
enactments Of all the authorities In the United
States
Again thanking you for your noble and spirited
advocacy of good an 4 philan,hropic cause,
remain, gratefully and respectfully, yours,

INDIAN TROUBLE.


From the San Francisco Post. June
By dispatches from Capts Graham and Tracy,
from Jobnson's Rancho, we learn that the Ameri-
cans have had two battles with the indians on the
South fork of the American river The indian
force was estimated at from 500 to 700; the Amer-
cans about le5 effective men. Two skirmi shes took
place; the first on the 2ist ut., and the other on
the day following On the Dist, three men we're
wounded, one MORALLY; and on the I'D, one Ed
ward jerks killed. VIM Nichols wounded, thought
mortaly Marion Lamb and Richard Thomas,
slightly wounded. The great rendezvous of the 10.
dams, is at Red lake, at the head Of the South
American, where their women and children and
berGs are collected.
The determination now is to push the Indians 20
a battle, and preparations being 10 sde for
that purpose, on the part of the officers in com
mand. The Sacramento UatOn says, Captain
Stonemsn is here-his command is at Nicalaus,
(25 menu Gen. Wnn has written to Major w.
Sewall, who is at Benicia, requesting him to per-
nit Captain Stoneman to join Major Rodgers,
until he and command may be needed by Dr. Wo-
zencraft, one of the Indian Commits sioners. Major
Mckinstry was to leave Sacramento yesterday for
Nicalaus, On route for the seat of the Indian dis
turbances, with a company of dragons under COM
mand of Captain Stoneman. General VIM and
Major Hail. with forces, have also departed in quest
Of the sayages.
MORMON EMIGRATION.

We learn that I50 Mormon families are al Cajon

here from Deseret These families, it is said, in

manent home. We cannot yet give full credit TO
these statements, because they do not come to US

NEW SILVER MINE.
Two of a company of miners arrived in this city
to-day from The mountains in this vicinity. Tho
object Of their visit IL to procure TO work sill
yer mine recently discovered, at apont in the
mountains about eighty miles in northwest direc-
tion from Los Angeles. This mine discovered
by German, several months since, and in richness
and extent it is said to be superior TO any silver
mine yet discovered on this continent. Its has
been carefully assayed by competent men, one Of
whom has been already engaged by the company
at salary of Sl2 900 per annun. The fortunate
German who discovered the mine has sold twenty
seven shares at S. 900 each.

From the San fraDchco Picayune, June 10
We have for some time past been aware Of the
existence of an organization, got up BY leaders OF
the democratic party in this city and else where the
object of which is 20 divide the State with the view
to the intr oduction of slavery in the southern por-
ton of the present commonwealth. Until within
the last ten or fifteen days, we loo ked upon the
movement as the offspring of a diseased imagine
tion on the part of fe restless ambitious, ultra
Southern disunonists, that would result in nothing
but ridiculous farce, and draw upon its projectors
the contempt of the public When the scheme
was first concocted, the character of the men who
beaded it warranted the belief that it could never
disturb the peace or endanger the welfare OF the
state. But since it has been espoused by many OK
the most enlightened and responsible men in tho
democratic party-men who are the acknowledged
opponents CT the principles and policy Of that party
II has assumed more serious aspect, and invites
the scrutiny and earnest attention Of every man
who has an interest in the honor and prosperity Of
the State.
The plan was conceived in the first place by few
restless spirits who cannot exist except in strife
CONFUSION and revolutou--men to whom excite
ment and notoriety is the breath Of life. They
have since been joined by the cmissaries Of dis
unionists in South Carolina, Allah anna, and Tezay,
who have been sent here create discord, division,
and foothold for slavery.

A Big Break.

The Louisville Courier of Wednesday
says the failure of the Lexington Insurance
Company HIS involved many citizens of that
place, to a very large amount. One gentle
man losses $4,000, several others to the
amount of $4,000, and numbers as much
as q 5000 each. In the assignment of the
Company, those gentlemen who recently ad-
lvanced $4,000 TO relieve the company of
its embarrassments, were secured. After
this sum is paid, it is thought the remaining
assets will not be of much value. The
Courier says the failure is a very bad one
This failure, and also that of the Column
bus Company, is urged by the Courier as
furnishing good reason for legislative inter
ference in such matters, to protect the people
from abuses and losses, in trusting to the
safety and s~olyency of these insurance asso-
Citations, which issue policies, as did the two
above mentioned, when they were absolutely
insolvent. As Banks are restricted in their
issues, and required to make full exposure
of their business and condition, why should
not Insurance associations also? The Courier
urges such a policy, and in doing so uses the
following language, as just and appropriate
as it is severe:
Hundreds of people within the last few
months have renewed their policies in the
two offices above named, or taken out origi-
nal ones, never had a dotiarS' rejection
against loss in either, had the property in
sured been destroyed by fire and although
it may be legitimate for an Incorporated com
pany to issue its policies and bank bills, when
it is known by the managers that t is rotenty
iRs0t0ent, we can see no difference in a moral
point of view to any other species of deep
ton and swindling. 1t is a well established
principle of law, known to every intelligent
man in community, that in dealings between
each other, a suppression of the truth is as
criminal and fatal to the utility of a contract,
as a false representation. And why should
insurance companies be suffered to PROV
upon the community by taking risks and re-
ceiving the premiums therefor, when it was
known that they were insolvcnt, and had nc
means of paying their policies. In every
such instance, there has been a clear, and
~palpable suppression Of tile truth,' which.
upon no principle of Justice, morals or law:
can be justified"

Editors in Luck!

We have heard persons express astOnish-
ment at the unprecedented success of the
Democracy in Ohio this fall. There is no
thing astonishing about 1.-THE reason is OBJ
yious. Look at the facts!' Read, ponder
and reflect!'
Breslin, Editor of the Seneca Advertiser,
was on the ticket for Treasurer of State.
Morgan, Editor of the Ohio Patriot, was
on the ticket for Auditor of State.
Weller, Editor of the Hamilton Telegraph,
was the candidate of his party, in Butler
county for the Legislature.
Knapp, Editor of the Marion Mirror, was
the democratic candidate, in his county, for
Clerk of the Court.
Emery, Editor of the Hillsborough GA
cette, was the candidate of his party, in
Highland county, for Probate Judge.
johnson, Editor of the Brown county
Standard, was a candidate for Senator in
that District.
Smith, Editor, of the Adams county Dem.
ocrat, was the democratic candidate for Pro
bate Judge in his county.
Besides many more that We cannot now
call to mind. All the boys are elected o
course; and who wonders now that the Dem
ocrats succeeded by such large majorities?

A Great Gave.

Within twenty miles of the city of Albany,
says the New York Evening Post, there is a
Cave exceeding in extent and novelty the
Mammoth Cave of Kentucky, and has been
explored eleven miles. 1t is traversed by a
small river, from one end to the other, which
contains a deep lake, nearly a mile square,
and an amphitheatre of equal dimensions,
over which hangs a dome, the highest part
of which has never been calculated, and
which rockets of the largest size have entire
ly failed to make visible or to reach.
This goes ahead of the great Kentucky
Cave, which has been the admiration of
thousands. Cave IN or hollow out, Mr.. Nam

Tory enough for one day.
New York Elections.

A despatch in our telegraphic columns
says the Statesman, reports the success fthe
democratic State ticket. This report strikes
us as correct, if only from the circumstance
of coming from a wing Office in Albany,
upon the heels of one to the same effect from
Thrulow Weed.
Thus then the ascendancy Of the New
York democracy is again proved, by a test
which it could not have withstood, if it hac
not been ofthe strongest and surest charac.
ter The union Of the two branches into
which, the State had been unhappily divided,
now seems perfectly consolidated, New
York, then, is good for the democracy in all
future contests, il the party chooses to lay a.
side all considerations but those Of the true
welfare Of the State and nation. Their diff
ferences are now buried-let them rot.

let us all cultivate "a spirit Of harmony and

An English Rival Of Colts Pistols.

A late London letter relates that Colts
Revolvers are likely to be superseded by a
new Revolving pistol, exhibitedin the Chrys-
tai Palace, by the Messrs. Deane, of King
William street, London The difference be-
tween Colts and the Messrs. Deane's Pistols
is thus described
The barreland frame Of Deane's are form
ed in one piece, and consequently irmer and
stronger. The chambers are secured by
means Of a sliding pan or bolt, which passes
through the centre of the frame of the pistol
and Of the chambers, and upon which they
revolve--the bolt being secured in its place
by a spring, which prevents its being acct
IDENTIFY Withdrawn. In loading no ramrod is
required, a slight pressure of the finger be-
ing sufficient to force the ball and cartridge
into the chamber. The action Of the trigger
is ce-fold-causing the chambers to re-
yolvs, cooking and discharging the pistol,
The construction is exceedingly simple, there
not being a single screw in the inside, and
the whole Of the springs and machinery con
sisting Of only three pieces. The weight
Of one Of the FIVE chamber pistols, for 80
balls to the pound, is 2 lbs IL or, while
Colts, with six chambers, for 60 balls to the
pound, is 4 lbs and 4 or. The principle Of
the Messrs. Deay els pistol will be applied ia
carbines and rifles. Already the Ordnance
Department have given large orders to the
Messrs. Deane for pistols and rifles.

All the Principles and all the
Offices y -

The Wing party, according to the official
organ Of the Administration, is very strong,
because it has call the principles and all
the o6fces" We suggest that it would be
q little stronger if it had, just now, a few of
the States! AS it is, however, it must con
fine its Jrag almost exclusively to Vermont,
at one end of the Union, and Florida at the
other. Then, as to principles, if ii has them,
it certainly had none TO speak Of when is last
National Convention met in l848. As to
the ofices-these, we grant, the Wings have
got. But they gotthem By false pretences-
by an open and shameless Justification of the
no party pledges which they, by a cheat,
persuaded a brave old soldier to give, and
then forced him to break as soon as they
were given!
This is rather a slim capital for a great
party ! Union.

Graham's Magazine

For December has come to hand with its
usual punctuality. Graham can't be beat
in publishing a iirst-rate magazine for both
ladies and gentlemen. He serves them
monthly with something just suited to their
taste. When a person once becomes a sub
scribcr to Graham, he continues on, or we
miss our guess. The reading in Graham is
from the best literary writers in the country,
and the engrayings are executed by the best
artists inthe world. For the new year, COM
mencing January, 1852, Graham promises
% make additional improvements, and he
will do it; for whatever he promises he al
ways does. r.
The terms are moderate-only 50 a year

Think of It.

Seventy Banks in Ohio, declaring their
dividends of 10, Is, 90 and % per cent,
while tbs farmers who have labored in the
scorching sun, and amid the pelting storms,
are receiving IS cents for the staff of life +!
The Ravenna Sentinel asks what the Banks
are doing, that they are not performing the
works which their Wing friends promised
they should do? and it asks, too, if these
seventy money makers are rendering the
farmers more comfortable and wealthy, or
are the farmers paying the Rag Barons their
10, is, 90 and rs per cent dividends? Do
the bankers give value to the farmers pro-
ducts, or do the farmers products give value
to the bankers capital, and thus pamper an
idle, indolent and naughty money aristocra-
cy?
The Sentinel might have asked the farm
ers and laboring people a pertinent question
in this connection. They are paying the
TAXES of these corporate personages tc
the extent of $150, 485; what benefits are
returned? More easily asked than answer
ed, every one will admit.-Cin. Enquirer
