FARMING. Santa Clara Register esti-
mates that in the coming twelve months more
than one half Of the land in that county will
be under cultivation. BY the time the wheat
harvest is ready, there will be twelve mills to
grind it into flour. A fine steam Touring mill
is being erected in the town Of Santa Clara
No method will curtail the operations Of mo-
nopolists, in articles of provisions, except an
extensive cultivation of the soil, and we are
glad to see new order of things spring up in
our midst. 1t is mistaken idea that the soil
of this state will not repay agriculture. A
better grain country the sun never shens on.
We trust wheat and potatoes will be largely cul-
tivatsd tho coming year, to secure these ar
ticles from the control of spectators. Both
these articles the soil Of this country is ad-
mirably adapted to.

SUSPICION OF PoIsoN.-From DIR. Hunt,
Coroner, we learn that he was called on the
2sth to Cherokee, to examine the body Of
Ira Gates, formerly of Wisconsin, who died
suddenly in that place and was buried. Sus-
picions Of poison arose against Dr. Alexan-
Dire, who kept a hotel in Cherokee, becasse
a partner of the man dead thought he had
discovered something wrong in his coffee
Both he and Gates boarded at this hotel.
Alexandra was arrested on his complaint,
and bound over for trial, on charge of pois-
oning the second man. Suspicion aroused,
the body Of Gates was disinterred and exam
ined, but no traces whatever Of poison were
discernable. 1t was the pretty general opin-
ion at Cherokee that the idea Of poison was
imaginary. A net very amicable feeling ex-
listed between the parties, owing to Alexan-
der having married woman they brought
across the plains, and his being some hat
jealous of one or both of them.

Voice from Miners.
CllIP's FLAT, kANAKA CREEK,
Dec. &c. 1852.


At a meeting of the starvcd-out mi-
ners, held the Goth of December, 1852,
at Chips Flat, amid 10 feet ofsnow, for
the purpose of protecting their claims
during the incleme ent season we are now
experiencing it was unanimously
Resolved, That we do hereby depre-
cate the whole system Of business now
carried on by the merchants Of San
Francisco, in the excessive monopoly Of
the article Of Flour, whereby the ener-
gies of the country are Frustrated and
paralysed, and the miners have been
driven from their homes and diggings at
u season Of the year when it is as much
as O mans life ia worth to attempt q
journey from the mountains, to procure
the common necessities of life.
The life of the miner in the noun
tains, is at all times one of hardship and
privation, without being rendered ten
times worse, through the extortions Of a
set of heartless speculators, who are lin
ing their pockets with the hard earned
toiings of the pioneers of the mountain
Gus region. Owing to the excessive ex-
tortion in the prices Of all articles Of
consumption, the store keepers havc
been prevented from laying in their
stock Of necessaries, required in this
season. The winter has now set in with
unusual severity, and we are driven
from our homes and diggings to pamper
the extortionate appetites of these heart
less scoundrels, who arc now fattening
on their unholy gain.
And we do hereby publicly thus call
upon the miners throughout the length
and breadth of the lard, to speak out
plainly on the subject, and to let theso
land sharks know that there is power
slumbering, which, if once aroused, will
express these opinions in q language not
to be misunderstood
1t was Resoired, unanimously That
the above resolutions be printed in the
Nevada Journal, with o request that
other editors of newspapers will publish
the above article.

THINGS AT WALLoUrA.-A gentlemen from
Walloupa last Sunday informs us that the
snsw in that place lay at four feet deep. Min
ing was generally suspended in that section Of
country. Several houses were broken in by
the weight of snow. Provisions we're high and
scarce. There was not sack Of -four in the
place for sale, and the boa, ding houses were
nearly out. The last sold brought SO cents
per pound. There has been no fresh beef in
the place for two weeks. Provisions are equ-
ally scarce at Little York and Red Dog city.
The three places, in circuit of fsur or FIVE
miles, embrace population of about n thou
sand people. Our informant came thrsugh
with five others, and broke path through six
feet of snow for several miles. Walloupa is
about twelve miles from this city. ditch
from Steep Hollow is in progress of construc-
tion to that place, operations en- which have
eeen suspended by the storm. Six weeks of
coed weather will senabls the ditch company
to conplete the ditch to Red Dog and Wallou.

and the seconds, in the duel at Oakland IN
which Edward Gilbert was killed, were dis
charged on trial for lack Of evidence. The
Judge, Willis, SAID in his charge, it was one
of the cases in which the judge and jury

the benefit of whoever might look on. He

CONGRESS IN GEORGIA Among the few
items Of interest from the states is a call for
meeting preliminary TO an Agricultural
Congress, issued by the Central Agricultural
Society of Georgia. In that call the objects
of the proposed Congress are thus described: :
GO The chief objects of the Congress will be
to adopt measures TO improve the present
system Of agriculture =; te develop the resour-
ecs and combine the energies of the slave
holding states, so as to increase their wealth,
power and dignity, as members of the Con-
federacy; to fortfy public opinion within
the borders of the slaveholding states, in an
tagonism to that without; 10 enforce the
growing sentiments, that the children Of the
South shall be reared and educated at home
instead of abroad to foster scientific pur-
suits, prom otc the mechanic arts, and aid in
establishing system of common schools
to assist in bringing the South in direct COM
mercal intercourse with distant countries
and to cultivate the aptitudes of the negro
race for civilization, and consequently
Christianity-so that by the time slavery
shall have fulfilled its benifcent mission in
these states, system may be authorized by
the social condition of that race here, to re
lieve it from its present servitudc, without
sinking it to the condition of the free neg ocs
of the North and West Indies" We rejoice
to see this movement as an Indication of far
sighted intelligence on the part of the South
to its interests. 1t is American and republi-
can. Let Georgia organize free schools, aid
science and mechanic arts, educate its own
children, enlarge its commercial intercourse
treat with dignifed contempt tho ratings Of
all kinds OF fanatics, and promote the moral
and intellectual condition Of black and white
within its borders, and she will soon present
an example that will put her enemies to
shame. We doubt not wise counsOls will
prevail at the Congress should it be held.

monopoly has been to drive miners from the
unworked and rich ostposts of mining, and
centre them in nearly worn out localities,
where work is hard to get, but provisions are
more plenty. If the almost inaccessible (at

Death Of David Graham.

We learn with profound sorrow tia,
DAVID GRAHAM, ESQ.,, of this City, died on the
9th ult. at Nice in Italy, whittier he proceeded
some three months since in the futile hope Of in.
proving his broken health. Mr. Graham's age was
little over forty-six years.
He was the son Of David Graham, Senior. lon,
a most respectable counselor in this City, who
died some ten years since. His eldest son David
was trained for the bar by his father, and While
vet young took high rank as pleader, especially
in criminal cases. For years he enjoyed position
at the Bar Of our City not inferior to that OF any
rival.
In Dec. 1881, at the age Of twenty Ave, young
Graham was leading member of the National
Republican Young Mems Convention which as
sembled at Baltimore and nominated Henry Clay
for President and John Sergeant for Viee-Presi-
dent. Mr.. Graham was not merely an ardent pc.
itical but warm personal friend of the great Ken.
tuckian through life.
Mr.. Graham was elected to the Common Coun-
ell about 1886, and served therein with eminent
ability and fidelity, ultimately. we believe, rising
to the Presidency of the Board Of Aldermen. He
was the Wing candidate for Mayor in 1874 but
defeated by the short-sighted and suicidal abena'
ton of so many Wings into. the camp Of Nativ.
ism. Thereafter he declined office, though be
might have had any nomination within the gift Of
his Wing brethren Of this City. lie had large
practice while his health enabled him to do il JUS
tice, with numerous and expensive family, and
he could not afford to take any office which would
have materially interiered with his professional Ia.
bors.
His health began to fail nearly two years ago,
and for more than year past he has been entire
ly unable to work. At length, during the past
winter, he was persuaded by some intimate friends
to visit the South Of Europe, in the hope that his
disease might yield to the gentle influences Of
Italian skies and complete immunity from the
cares and anxieties of daily life. A younger bro
Their accompanied him. The hopes that led to
this resort have been disappointed. Mr.. Graham
can hardly have reached Italy before his brilliant
and too brief earthly career brought to close.
lie died among strangers and his last look was
on scenes unfamiliar to his closing eyes but tAs
admiration and love of ten Thousand saddened
hearts will long hold his virtues and talents ia
grateful remembrance.
