OuTRAGE.-.-A complaint was M O.
yesterday against Captain Lamoise, ol
the French schooner Planchita, by Air
James kowland . native of Philadelphia,
who had taken passage on the aforesaid
schooner from Mazatlan to this port,
paying therefor the sum of $40. Efr.
Rowland saies that when three davs
out from Mazatlan, he was forced down
into the schooner's hold, which was
damp and unhealthy, and there kept t,r
the most part of the time during tho
passage; from which treatment, bepE
an aged man, he has entirely lost tho
sense Of hearing. The only reason given
for this inhuman treatment is, that tho
schooners cabin, in which he bargained
for passage, was not large enough to
accommodate Capt. Lamoise and fe
male he had taken with him at ~
port. We understand that Hall Nc
Allister. ESD, has taken charge of the
case. No punishment can be too sev 80
for this ecoundrel, if this statement Is
true.

leg" Some very rich specimens have
been shown to US by Col McNuItv, Of
Sacramento, from the newly discovered
quartz lead, about twenty miles above
Downieville, on the South Fork of the
North Fork Of the luba-.the same lead
that Las been taken up in part by the
Aerial Company. The lead has been
traced for some distance to the side Of a
steep hill, at the base of which is the
river and down the declivity some two
thousand feet to the water, giving ground
for very plain impression that the lead
is at least of that depth. Beyond the
river. the Colonel and several others
traced the lead for one or two miles
The degree of richness ascriLed to this
lead is extraordinary, and it i, also
thought the surface dirt will paw larrlv
Tor washing. Near the lead, leaning
down the hill side, is n stream of water
sufficiently powerful to carry heavy ma
shinery, and supply water to large
number of washing machines

CARSON VALLEY.---A gentleman,
says the Transcript, gave us inforIna-
ton from Carson Valley yesterday ----
lie assures us that the mining fac4u-
ties are good, and that there is no diff
icnlty in making eight dollars per day.
He describes the mines in that vaciu-
ity as being extensive; but the high
prices of provisions left but little more
for the miner, after paying expensa
than could be made in almost any 10.

IMPORTANT pGcIssoN. The County
Court of Yuba has lately had bef'Te it
a case dcvolying the right Of property in
the City of Marssvillc. We find in the
Herald" Of the 18th inst, statement
of the circumsta hces as presented to the
jury on the trial;
The lot was rented by q merchan.
from perscn who had. bought 1t troM

months he paid his ground rent regular.
ly and punctually. When, however the
subject of squatterism became a matter
o. public interest debate and contention
the merchant came to the conclusion
rhat the title o the rancho bold"rs h re
was not valid; that he had IA d in rents
a sum which was equivalent to the val.
ne of the lot which he occupied. and
that therefore he was entitled to hold it.
he and his hers for ever, without let or
hindrance fIom the persons whose owner.
ship he had previously acknowled god,
by putting his name to lease, and bv
paying rent to him as the owner.
Upon the trial before the justice the
jury found against the merchant. and
gave verdict against him of $3.50 for
rent. This the justice trebled in accor-
dance with the law of = 'Forciblc Entry
and Unlawful detainer," making $3.50.
The merchant appealed to the Coun-
ty Court. The trial took place three or
four days ago; the jury reversed the
decision of the court below, and found
for the appellant, declaring that the
merchant was entitled to the possession
Of the lot. Counsel for the respondent
moved for new trial, on the ground
that the verdict was contrary to the law
and the evidence. The Court has grant
ed new trial.

ciplc is right, and the operation is GER
taihly 50 beneficial to the great body OF
the people for the present and future
we give our voice against any division
Of the State, or other legislation which

The only proposition we have heard
as to where the State should be divided
gives San francsc to the South Now
we would like to ask those southerners
who are whining about unequal legsla-
ton, because of the diversity of pursuits
and relative wealth of the North and
South, what becomes of their theory
when the wealthiest county of the whole
State is coupled with them ? But the
inconsistency OF this matter is not the
only objection. Does the southern por-
ton Of the State believe we Of the North
will surrender our only inlet from the
ocean to them, when they have Monte
rcy, Santa Barbara, San Pedro and San
Diego! That we are to be made will
ling to yield up the natural metropolis
of the North, and become by position
mere dependencies on another State
The great business Of San Francisco is
supplied by the northern portions of the
State, and that city naturally belongs
with this section, in the event of n divi.
sion; and if that division ever comes
the North will scorn the idea of being
so far curtailed of its fair proportions as
to lose it's only commercial avenue.
But there are other reasons why we
are opposed to a division of California
