Louisville Journal of the ls inst. contains the follow
ing:
Last evening on the arrival of the cars from Frank
FORT the wachfu "Charleys of our city were as usual
on the alert looking into every bodys business except
Their own. A handsome young gentleman dressed in
tights seemed to attract their attention. and one ofthem
after having surveyed him all sides began to suspect
the genus homo othe young man. The officer offer
ing his ARM very politely volunteered his services to
see him taken care OF and accordingly they went to Capt
Buekners tire proof castle Arrived there. the officer
exp ressed ms suspicion to his new acquaintance, who
turned out sure enough to be live woman In tights
The woman is about twenty years of age and we
learn is from Henry county, where she has very respect
able relatives She had been persuaded by her lover
one Thomas Ireland. to this city, where they
they were to be married, and then join the "fbusters

standing arose between them and soon thereafter as
the cars came to halt Tom told her to go -, and
jumped off, gentleman in the cars kindly ineres-
ted HIMSELF in the lady, and being in her company

ASTONISHING DI5CovERIEs.-Som OF the
heard of have, during the past week, been
made within mile of this place, in an
easterly direction. The whole town, in
fact, seems to have run mad-eyery class OF
our community, from the louuging idler to
the most energetic having gone post-haste
to the new Ell Dorado (some Of them even
late at night) and staked off claims for near
ly mile up and down the hill-sid border
ing upon the head Of the Chilian Gulch.-
The new diggings are called Sport Hill,
from the fact that their extraordinary rich
ness has tempted out nearly all the old
sportsmen of our town, who may now be
daily seen, welding pick and spade as lus-
tily as the hardest miner. 1t would be
useless for US here to repeat any of the ma
ny extravagant stories (none of which are
contradicted) that we have heard of these
extraordinary diggiDgs, but will mention
what we know by our own observation.
The hole which created the furore is one
hundred and ten feet deep, and commenced
paying well at thirty five feet from the
ledge. We stood by while one of the party
in this claim washed out some half dozen
buckets Of refuse earth, from which he OBJ
tanned ten or twelve dollars Of gold, one
piece weighing upwards of six dollars This
earth was only washed to throw dust in the
ewes of the crowd who stood around, the No
dirt being kept separate and reserved for
future operations, when there shall be plen-
ty of water. The ruSc, however, did not
succeed, every one seeing through it at once
and only becoming more firmly convinced
of the vast wealth that lay hidden in the
earth beneath their feet The majority of
the claims are being worked with will" !"
and we shall soon know if the whole hill is
rich, or if this one claim alone is to yield
fortunes to its owners Another hole. low
er down the hill side. has commenced pay
ing at seven feet from the surface, the own
ers averring most positively that they get
from it FIVE dollars per bucket. A tunnel
company has also been formed, and have
commenced operations in the hill. The in
dications of golds here, are the same as those
on French and Stockton Hills

BRUTAL MURDER-A most brutal
murder was committed at San Andres
a few days since, upon the person of a
Mexican, by an American. 1t appears
that a number of persons had gone to
the Catholic Church of that place, and
ridiculed the services of the Mexicans,
who, on going into town, deprecated
rather severely the actions of the Amer
leans, which was taken up by one who
stood by, and who Immediately COM
menced beating them with heavy
club, (some say the breech of a double
barreled gun,) which unfortunately
proved fatal in one instance. The
American made his escape after COM
mitting the murder. We have not
learned the names of either Of the par
ties.
Calaveras chronicle., 1851-12-13

GRAND JURY.-The Grand Jury's
Report, IN another column, will no
doubt be read with interest. We can
no longer wonder that County Scrip is
so deprecated in value, since the Trea-
surer, Mr.. Nudge, deems himself so
perfect man as to treat with contempt
the requisition made upon him by the
Grand Jury, to examine the public doc
uments and papers in his possession,
relating to the affairs of the County
Some means should be devised to sift
this matter to the bottom, and place the
County in the position she should he
free of debt, and with sufficient cash
fund on hand to make many necessary
improvements now loudly called for.

Another MURDER-An inoffensive
Indian was murdered near Volcano a
few days ago, by a man known as Sailor
Jack. He committed the deed with a
knife, and without provocation. The
Indians in the vicinity were much excl
ted at this outrage, and assembled in
considerable numbers. They burned
the dead body with great ceremony, and
appeared well satisfied when the Amer
leans arrested the murderer. Sailor
Jack is now in Jail, awaiting his trial.

NEW PRoCEss FOR SEPARATING GoLD.--
Alta, has the following extract from g Ell
Defensor del Comercio,'' Of Madrid de-
scriptive Of new invention for the sepa-
ration Of the auriferous particles from
sand, etc. The g 'Sociedad Aurifera Pc
ninsular" possesses the privilege of this in
vention for ten years. The Defensor del
Cronica says:
"This machine, which we owe to the Ia
lent Of our countryman, Don Manuel Full
gacio Canlbiaso. leaves nothing to be desir-
ed Its simple construction, the precision
of its movement AMI its perfect combina-
ton satisfy in its mechanical part the OBJ
ject for which it is intended.
g The scientific principles on which it is
constructed could not be clearer to any one
possessing the rudiments of chemical sci
erce The inventor displaying his acquire
ments in this science bas based his inven-
tion on the two general principles to which
bodies are subject gravity and az
fnity These properties we have seen ope-
rate in the work referred to-the first caus-
ing precipitation Of the mineral to the
interior surface of the metallic bath which,
by means of fire, is kept liquid IN the prin-
cipal cylinder, and the second combining it
with each metal. This wonderful appara-
tu~ can be used by one man and it is cal
culated thatit can separate daily four hun
dred quintals of mineral, quantity which
ro mines in Spain could supply to it With
this useful as well as simple invention,
which advantageously supcrsedes the ex-
pensive fusing furnaces which consume the
means of the companies, the working of the
mines is placed within reach of individuals
provided with these machines, and mining
industry elevated to the first rank in the
wealth of nations
The Defensor states that one Of them has
been constructed for use in California.

The Sacramento POst-on1ce

Inc sacramento POSt-OmCe.
We are not prone to fault-fnding,
had rather commend than condemn, and
would, always, if possible, avoid the
disagreeable duty of censuring official
dignitaries But the complaints that
are constantly reaching US, particularly
from the western part Of Calaveras
County, respecting the management of
the Post-office at Sacramento, require
some notice at our hands.
AS we understand the duties of post
master, he is required by the reguIa-
tions of the Department, to RENAL to
such Office as may he directed, all let
ters arriving at his office, upon recei-
wing orders to that effect, from persons
to whom they are addressed, duly certi-
fed by the postmaster to whose office
they are to be sent.
The complaint is that the postmaster
at Sacramento utterly disregards such
orders, and refuses to make any other
disposition Of such letters, than to deli
yer them to the individuals in person,
or to some express agent, who will pay
Gprenlium for the privilege.
With the migratory habits which all
miners are in some degree obliged to
adopt, constantly changing from place
to place in search ofproftabIe diggings,
this conduct Of the Sacramento post
master becomes to them an intoTerable
grievance.
The miner, on leaving his home in
the old States, not knowing where he
may finally make location, requests
his friends at home, to direct all letters
for him to San Francisco or Sacramen-
to. Finding Mt some point in the mines
an eligible place for a permanent loca-
tion, he goes to the nearest post-office
and transmits an order to the office
where his letters are to be sent, to have
them re-mailed to the office nearest his
residence. Such orders are uniformly
respected at San Francisco, and all
other offices, as far as we have heard,
except that Of Sacramento but the lord
ly officials of that office do not so much
as deign to notice the order of the hum
BILE miner requiring him to go in per-
son all the way to the great city Of Sa-
cramento to get his letters, or else com
pei him to put his name to the list of
some express Office, and thus receive
his letters at an expense of two or three
dollars each, the officials at Sacramento
levying percentage upon every letter
delivered to expresses.
And, what is worse, should the miner
have occasion te change his location,
he finds it harder to get his name off
the express books than it was to get it
on, and the consequence is that he loses
nearly all his letters.
How long the people are to be COM
pelled to submit to this imposition re-
mains yet to be determined; ; there
seems to be 10 satisfaction afforded by
application to the supreme pleasure of
the Sacramento postmaster, since all
inquiries heretofore made in that quar-
terhave always been trerated with 81
lent and sovereign contempt,
AS we understand the duties of public
officers they are the mere servants of
the people, and we know of but one
way of disposing of an unfaithful SER
want, and that is by discharging him and
making room for one who will do his
duty, and unless the evils complained
Of are speedily remedied, means will be
used to apply the remedy.

SEIZURE OF AN AMERICAN SoaooSER.-
b. aivices received IN this City from Marscaibo,

schooner Grafton, apt Merrill which sailed from that
por Oct 4. for Philadelphia, had been seized by
ORDER of the Government Il appears tina. the Cap
tain Of the o. having experienced great difficulty
delay in crossing the bar. IN consequence Of the
rsxperience of the pilots, LET his vessel in one Of
his own boats IN order to obtain sound,ngs and thus
gel her over the bar. Upon this the pilots com
planned 10 the authorities, and the schooner was
seized and brought back TO Maracsioo, where she
will remain until the action Of the Government, Is
sscerained. Capt Merrill, we are informed, has
abandoned his vessel claiming $4,000 damages for
her seizure and is coming home TO lay his case be-
fore the proper authorities
