LAND SLIrE--A tremendous land
sli de. involving the loss of several
months work, and property to large
amount occurred at a galch between
this place and the Calaveras river. Mr..
G. n. Campbell. with his party, had
gone to great expense in sinking pros
pecting shaft and running a tunnel into
the point of q very abrupt hill. and had
after some three months work, got
every thing arranged in such q. way
that there would be no further difficult
ty in carrying on their operations, when
the rains came on. All their mining
tools and other appliances were left in
the tunnel. the party having o cabin
some eight or ton rods from it's mouth,
During the night Of the 18th, the per-
sons sleeping in the cabin were awak-
ened by u tremendous nois., and the
jarring Of the earth all around them.
The rain was pouring down in torrents.
and the noise having ceased, the inmates
supposed there had been shock Of an
earthquake. In the morning, however,
they were sadly undeceiyed. Not a
trace of their tunnel lemained; rocks,
trees, and earth having slid down and
covered every portion of it, even to the
prospect shaft the mouth Of which was
stopped up by tree some three or four
feet in diameter, which, sustaining its
perpendicular position, had removed from
lts original bed distance Of FIVE rods.

The Ell Dorado News of the goth
says: 7husday evening the Trio Hall,
in this place, was crowded with per-
sons, and among the number, several
drunken men. One of them was in
the act of making speech, when some
person interrupted him. AT this he
became very much enraged, and
swore he would 'clean out the house,
and went to the stove and pulled out
u powder flask and said he would blow
the house up, and threw the flask
Containing black sandy int the stove,
and Immediately a stampede COM
menced; some left through the doors,
others through the windows, over ben.
ches, monte tables, and in less than a
minute there was hardly a man left,
except the hero Of the scene, who com
menced singing II wont go home till
morning." and judging from the uproal
that was kept up through the night
he and his companions were as good
as his word

BIscACCIANTi IN CALIFORNIA Our own
Biscac cianti, the pride of Boston, is going
to California, to exchange the golden
notes of her magnificent voice Tor the
glittering spangles of CALIFORNIA; rivers
and mountains. We give her God
speed upon her journey, and hope that
she will come back to US with all the
wealth whirh her transcendant powers
ought to command. She is The dmeri-
can Vocalist, above every other American
singer who ever came before an audi
ence, and equal to any Of the foreign
wonders. Young, beautiful, good. and
possessing the true fire Of musical spirit,
she seems born to delight the crowds
who have tbronged in her train, hang
ing on the rich, mellow tones which
find an echo in every breast. Her sue
cess has been almost unprecedented,
when we consider her youth. She has
sung with immense success ut the Phil
harmonic Concerts in London, having
appeared under the immediate care of
Costa, the celebrated lender and teach
or. She has sung in Boston, New York
Baltimore, Philadelphia, both in concert
and opera, with the most enthusiastic
success, and is now, we are told, en-
gagged at the Grand Opera in Paris, to
appea. Immediately after her return
from California. We hope that the peo-
pie of our new country there will know
how to value the prize which they are
to have within their grasp. We hope
| that Eliza Biscaccianti, born in Boston,
educated in the first schools of the world,
possessed Of talents which are as rare
as they are fne, will be cordially well
coined and thoroughly appreciated by
all Americans who love the fine songs Of
their native land, and love also to hear
them sung by gifted woman. Again
we say success 10 her, and may her ex-
ceedng merit find sympathetic well
come 10 the land Of gold.-Boston Irau

HUNGARIAN LEADER. Rosa Landor,
one of the military leaders in the Hun
garian revolution, has maintained a
guerrilla warfare with the government
troops ever since. His head quarters
are in the neighborhood Of Tibisco. The
Honveds, anxlou, to avoid Austrian ser.
vice, have gathered about him in large
numbers; and each day adds to biz
strength, and produces new feats ol
courage and daring. His lightning like
rapidlty strikes terror to the Austrian
gendarmerie and soldiers, who are the
special objects of his vengeance. FAM
lies devoted to the Austrian interest
are constantly exposed to plunder, and
their plantations to destruction Their
forced contributions support this little
army. This chivalrous band will pro.
baby form the nucleus of the great
movement now in preparation.

OKIJINAI DEFECINE

| The A B c AID THE GRaB GAME -
Since the disappearance Of the little
/ Joker" from cur midst for lack of sufi-
cient encouragement, very few instan-
ces of imposition upon conhding yerdan-
cy have been brought to notice.
It was supposed that the various swim
ding games, whose patrons and votaries
once crowded Long Wharf, had been so
thoroughly exposed, and the folly of bet
ting on The sure thing" so completely
demonstrated that none could be found
so overfowing with rural simplicity as
to stake their money on the chance of
winning. The famous A B T. game how
ever, possessing greater vitality. because
apparently more fair than its cognate
swindles, though withdrawn from the
busy thoroughfares, still offers its temp
tations in secluded oar rooms and low
gambling houses. John Shehan and
James Mccoy, who follow the sea for q
living. the one being the captain Of q
| launch, the other of ON inhnitesimal
sloop, came upon one of these tables in
tho Howar'l House, on Long Wharf,
where Charles Cass, T. M. johnson and
Oscar Fox, dispensed fortunes on the
mos. liberal terrs to all who could win
them. They lost o few dollars from g-
tuorance of their A 3 C's. when they
were strongly urged by q looker-on, dis
Interested If course, TO bet heavily on
the A.
By piece of the grossest carelessness
on the part OF the banker and reck-
lessness Of his money very surprising,
the tin box under which the dice lay,
was tilted, so that the A could be dis
tinctly seen turned up. The betters
now thought they had sure thing Of it,
and put down heavily, the one some
$40, the other $l3, which they staked
on A. When the co,rr was removed,
10 behold the A had maglcally become
b. Both sides made grab for the
stakes, but Shehan and Mccoy were
the quickest, and seized a slug to rec
ompcnse them Thereupon complaint
was made to the police against them,
and they were trotted up TO the Station
House accompanied by their accussrs
who were properly outraged at such
lack of principle us the accused had ex-
hibited. 1t is but right to state, howev-
er, that Mccoy swears positively that A
did turn up, and he was therefore the
winner, and that it was the gamblers
who made the first grab for the stakes
to which they were not entitled. The
Recorder will settle the question this
morning. IS. +. Herald.

ALARM OF THE GRAIN GROWERS OF

ALARM OF THE GRAIN GROWERS OF
CHILE The latest papers from valpa-
raiso express very serious apprehensions
at The quantity OF -four exported to Cali
fornia from the Eastern States, and the
accounts received Of the agricultural
resources Of this State, and the great
attention being paid to the raising Of
grain. They warn the Chilean produ-
GERS that they are about to lose this i'm
psrtant market, and urge them to adopt
some measures to retain the monopoly
they have SO long enjoyed. To this end
they impress upon the farmers the ne
cessity Of augmenting the production
and diminishing the price OF griin. =
Where they now raise thou and fame
gas, they should increase it to two or
three thousand. in which event neither
the duties imposed upon their -four and
barley. nor the great distance they have
to be transported can deprive them Of
the superiority they have enjoyed up ta
the present time in the parxets Of the
Pacific They are warned if they oh
sIinately persist in keeping up the old
prices, that ruin awaits them, and be.
fore the end OF another year, they will
have to mourn their folly in having viii
fully lost the only mark cts offered them
for the export Of their produce. The
danger is imminent. IfCalifornia be.

DEsEcRATIok OF THE SABBATH. Many

servance Of the Sabbath by the majority

lishments were open for the transaction
of business, gambling houses were crow
ded to suffocation, and rum shops dealt
out liquors in frightful quantities. Sun
dav was only known as set down in the
almanac, the first day in the week. But
time works wonders and public opinion
has already overcome what the love of
money prompted. and given that day
more the appearance OF what it should
be. But there is one vestage of barba-
rism remaining, which is disgrace to
the citizens of San Francisco the bear
and bull fights that take place every Sab
bath Mt the Mission Dolores. Hundreds OF
persons visit these places regularly and
shout with wild delight to see dumb
brutes tear each other to pieces. Fam
lilies going to church, are met with II
huge bear in cnge, preceded by three
or four persons in IL carriage, blowing
out their brains on an + fat bugle or n
cracked trombone. followed by gap
ing crowd If toys of variegatrd colors.
Large placards are posted tip in the
streets perhaps announcing that the
celebrated bear kossu,h viii fight with
the renowned bull Santa Ana. As this
announcement is perfectly innocent
