The PROGRESS OF THINGS Each
morning that dawns presents some new
feature added to the city. The man who
walks through any of the streets of the
burnt district in the afternoon and returns
that way in the morning, is required to
pet his latitude and longitude before he
can ascertain his precise position. Where
nothing but the frame work of building
stood, he finds the building itself. A lot
that was vacant, or occupied only by rub
bish, contains ample lumber for the con-
structon of house; and the house whose
flooring was only being put down, he
finds occupied, and rife with all the anima-
ton of trade. Long after sundown, who's
the shadows of night become impenc,ra-
bic to the recognition of faces, the sound
inc hammer is heard Oh housetops, and
the hewing axe within. In this manner
the city goes up. Not moment of time
is lost. Every one is busy, every one
interested, and from piles of ruins spring
stately mansions to greet the eye and
gladden. the hearts of our citizens. AT this
rate of pushing things forward, few
more days will find the houselcss all pro-
vided for, and business assume her empire
which was but suspended, not crushed.

The FIRE 1T SAN FRANcIsCo.-On
Tuesday evening fire was discovered over
a drinking saloon in San Francisco, on
the corner of Merchant and Kearny
streets, which instantly extended to the
adjoining buildings, and before it was
subdued $1,000 worth Of property was
destroyed. The block bounded by Kear-
ny, Merchant, Montgomery, and Clay

finally extinguisbed. Among the build
lnrs consumed was the dwelling of DR..

RAIN.-We have had this week a real
old fashioned rain, which will no doubt
cause considerable rise in the rivers, and
compel the miners on their claims to
leave for the placer diggings, where they
will, in places, from this on, during the
winter, be favored with some water.

CHRISTIANS At JERUs .-Bayard
Taylor draws a sorry picture of the Chris
tans residing at Jerusalem, of whom there
are nineteen sects. These sects, he says,
are 50 quarrelSome, that Turkish police
man is always stationed in the Holy Sepul-
chre, to prevent bloody disputes. MIR.
Taylor says: "W hatever good the mis-
sions here may accomplish, Jerusalem is
the last place in the world where an in
telligent heather would be converted to
Christianity. Were cast here ignorant,
of any religion, and were to compare
the lives and practices Of The differens
sects as the means of making my choice
in short, to judge each faith by the coa-
duct of its professors-I should at once

BEAR RIVER CANAL.--The water of
this canal has arrived in Auburn, and the
miners have gone to work fixing their
sluices preparatory to reapng the golden
harvest. 1t will be but a short time now
until many of our most valuable mining
districts viii be favored with plenty Of
water from this Canal. The heavy rains
during the week will evidently raise the
water in Bear River to such height that
the canal will be supplied with more wa
ter than it can carry, and it will not be
great while before the miners along the
entire route can be accommodated with
as much water as they need. This is in
deed cheering news, and we are glad to
know that the "good time" promised is so
near at hand
We learn by gentleman, lately from
the upper portion of this county, that an
extensive tract Of rich mining country will
soon be opened by the Introduction of the
waters of Ell Dorado Canon. The region
adjacent to Michigan Bluff and Birds
Valley was known to the miners of 40
and 80 to be rich, yet has been but little
worked, from the almost entire absence
Of water.
The line of diggings to be supplied by
the Ell Dorado extends five miles above
Michigan Bluff, with those about the
Bluff, thence through Birds Valley to
the we'll known slides, American and
Michigan, on the Middle Fork. The
company have erected substantial dam,
and are progressing rapidly with the
grading, The large steam mill of Messrs
Hendy, Duncan & CO, now in erection on
the ground, will, in the course of few
days, commence the daily delivery of six
to eight thousand feet of lumber.
In two or three months hundreds Of
miners will be at work along the hill
sides, where only the solitary prospector
has sought, and now awaits his fortune.
Michigan bluff is fas. growing into large
town, and ere fong may pass by its older
and more quiet neighbor, Yankee Jim.
r-Sy@A friend of ours has related to us
an amusing incident, in which he took a
prominent part, few days since, at Cox's
Ranch. He had stopped a short time to
rest himself, and while there he took a
walk to an Indian camp a short distance
from the house. Seating himself by the
fire be picked up knife which was ly-
ing near by, and deliberately taking off his
hat, took hold of bis forelock and passed
the knife gently under his hair. This
attracted the attention of all the Indians;
when he gave the knife quick motion,
and off came his bloodless - wig. In
an instant the camp was a perfect scene.
The squaws ran off screaming, and the
children close at their heels Keeping up Il
chorus. The males started to their feet
perfectly horror stricken-glancing first,
at the bald and shining Uranium of our
innocent locking friend and the shining
scalp which hung dangling in his hand,
and then at the bloodess knife in the
other. Horror was depicted in every
feature, and there they stood as if rooted
to the earth. Our friend, the doctor, at
last rose from his seat and showed the
males that it was only hoax. The wo-
men and children were soon brought back,
and they all joined in hearty laugh, to
think how egregiously they had been
fooled.

LATER FROM THE SoUTH-FRoM SONORA
AND THE CoLoRADo.-TheA Alta says, the
steamers Ohio, Capt. HiIlard, and Sea
Bird, Capt. Haley, arrived here this NOR
ming; the former eight and the latter four
days from San Diego. The list of pas
sengers aud memoranda will he found i'll
another column We have received copies
of the Los Angeles Star up to Oct 30th,
from which we extract the following mat
ters of interest:
! A party of Sonorlanians had arrived in
Los Angeles, having been twenty-four
days on the road At the Colorado every
thing was found tranquil, and our troops
absent on a campaign. The aspect of
affairs in Sonora, is gloomy indeed. The
Apaches are committing depredations
near Hermasil.o, and there appears to be
as much necessity in defending the in
terror, as protecting the frontier. A civil
war had broken out, and the inhabitants
are seeking refuge wherever their means
will carry them. The French Count, who
arrived at Guaymas, with men to make
war upon the Apaches, under contract
with the Mexican Government, drove the
Indians off from tract of fifty leagues in
circuit, was called upon by the military
commandant Of Sonora, to render an ac-
count Of his proceedings The Count,
who had about 500 men, thereupon issued
proclamation of his intention to chastise
the military commandant Blanco, and ad-
vised the natives TO assume a neutral posi-
ton in The contest, as he had sufficient
force to accomplish his object. He seized
upon train of mules and money, which
Blanco bad despatched to a military post
in the Apache country, and then started
on his way to Arispe, to displace Blanco.
Don Manull Guadara, an influential Mex
lean, had Joined the French forces, and
it is pretty certain that the revolutionary
party will succeed.
The principal features Of the news are
embodied in the correspondence which
follows, frem Los Angeles, San Diego,
and Camp Yuma.

The lMMIGRATIoN.-Imn immigrants who

on their way to San Bernardino. The

ANrI-RoAD TAX MEETING.-The pro-

condemnng the present road tax and re-
fusng to work the roads, has been sent us
for publication hut for want of room we
Cannot insert it until next week. On sew
erai points the gentlemen who composed
the meeting are in error, and by an exam
inaton of the statute they will find that
the sjudges'' have certain duties to per-
form and authority for it. In our opinion
it would appear more like claw abiding
citizens" to work out or pay their tax, as
others have to do, and if the tax is bur
densone apply to the next legislature for
dininution of it, or a revision of the law.

FROM MExICo.-Our dates from Mexico
are to the Goth October, fourteen days
later. The news indicates more than
ever the weak, yascilatng character Of
the people of that country. The Presi-
dent has called an extra session Of Con
gress. He is marvellously silent touch
Ing the Tehuantepec difficulty, and the
dangers which threaten the country from
without, treats with an omnous Iightness
the domestic disturbances which rend the
country from centre to circumference,
and remarks that the public debt is very
large, and that it has become necessary
for the Representatives Of the people to
assemble and devise ways and means to
keep the wheels Of government in motion.
Meanwhile the reVoIutionists of Cuadala-
jara scarcely knowing what is best for
themselves, appear to have shifted their
policy. The cry is no longer "Santa
Anna" but ga remodeling of the con-
stitution." Coloma, Vera Cruz, Orizaba
and other states are still in turmoil 1t is
evident that no concentrated movement
for any defined object has as yet been or
ganized. But the whole country con-
tinues to wear the aspect of halting to its
grave.

IMpRovEMENTs.- There is hardly an
hour in the day but the busy sound OF the
mechanics hammer can be heard in our
midst. In almost every street new build
ings are being erected, and the "march OF
improvement is still onward" But with
all our enterprise we have failed IN one
thing-Auburn has no church. How long
shall this be-? There is no question but
we are an enterprislng co'nmunIty-ou'
works show it.-Then let US do something
for ''sound morality" and christianity =
Let US "erect temple to the living God"
where we all can assemble upon the
sabbath to hear his word dispensed.-
What bright recolections would it call
up in the memory. The sold church
bell''-at the sound of which, in our youth,
we were wont to assemble, and the many
recoalections of home that it brings up
before u.s. We must have a church,
aud we believe our enterprising citizens
will not long remain without one.

Auburn, November l3, 1862

LET US BE PREPARED.-Ther recent
awful confagration at Sacramento should
be a warning to us all that we cannot be
too careful in regard to fire about onr
premises. The light combustible materi-
ais of which our town is built, is a 3eces-
sity for us to be so. A fire once under
way and Auburn would be reduced to
ashes in few minutes.
We took occasion a short time since, to
speak Of the practicability of reservoir
being erected upon one of the hills ada
cent to the town, and to be supplied with
water by the Bear River Ditch. The
simple facts to be ascertained are, If the
idea is practicable, and can sufhcency
of water be attained. If so, would 1t not
be worth the enterprise of our property
holders. We understand the Bear River
company are willing to furnish the water.
With the substantial improvements that
are now being made in Auburn, by the
investment of thousands Of dollars IN val
liable dwellings, it becomes one and all
to, have an eye to the speediest and best
possible .neans of stopping the progress
of confagraton. Let us not be visited
by the scourge of California towns, and
then like the careful man clock the stable
after the horse has been stolen," but let
lis 90 to work lille sensible community
and prepare for the coming of the thief,
for we know not the hour nor the day
We verify believe that with this i'm
provement Auburn can be as well secured
from the ravages of fire as any town IN
the State; then let us see to the matter.
