CARsoN's.-We are happy to learn from
Carson's Hill that all is quiet, and thai
there is, for the present, at least, no likeli-
hood of conflict taking place between the
two quartz parties. There are now but
two companies working upon the Hill-the
Union and the Louisiana companies, WnG
have peaceable possession, and are vigor-
ously pursuing their work. Since the rains
have fallen, the miners, both on the fiat
and creek are doing remarkably well.

DOUGLAS FLAT.-The miners who have
been carting dirt from this fat to the creek
during the dry season, have suspended
hauling as they have now plenty Of water
on the fat to run sluices. bitches or drains
have been cut in all the hills in the i'm
mediate vicinity of this place, thus supply
ing the fat with an abundance Of water for
all mining purposes. The dirt Of this fiat
throughout, yields very evenly, and the
miners seem content with their wages.

SAN ANDRES The canal that has been
cut through from the North branch of the

proprietors handsomely, as well as being a
source of great benefit to the miners. They
have already dug up large part of the fat,
and are all realizing good wages. This
fourishing little mining town is in the
centre of q very rich region of country.
The chances for "large Strikes" in these
diggings, are few but for making an aver
age of g fair wages" 1--WE think the placers
Of this neighborhood are not surpassed in
the mines.

ORGANIZATION OF VIGILANCE COM
MIrTEE.--In view of long series Of out
RACES which have been committed in this
vicinity, and which the arm Of Civil Law
has proved itself powerless to punish, and
in view cf the fact that there is no adequate
protection to life or property in our midst,
the inhabitants of Mokelumne Hill, pur-
suant to general notice, convened on Satur-
day afternoon last, at the Franklin House,
to organize COMMITTEES OF VIGILANCE.
The meeting was composed of property
holders and miners, and stern detcrmina-
tion evinced that crime should not go un-
punished, and especially that assassination
and murder in our streets should be follow
ed by netting out to the offenders summary
and exemplary justice. A Constitu ton
was reported and adopted, setting forth in
brief the causes that imperatively demand
the institution of such society, regular
officers tosen and large Executive Com
mittee pointed to carry into effect the
purrr the association. We are happy
to annou nee that large numbers Of our pO-
pulati have come forward, signed the
Constitution, manifested their sympathy
with the objects of the society, and pro-
missed their hearty cooperation.
Subsequently, meeting of the Executive
Committee was held and plan Of opera
tions organized. A room for the permanent
meetings of the Committee was engaged, an
Alarm Signal for the assembling of the ge-
neral Vigilance Committee agreed upon,
and arrangements made for the instanta-
neous trial Of criminals, by fair and i'm
partial jury of twelve men. for deciding the
mode and amount of punishment and for
putting the same into speedy execution.
Among the measures adopted for preserv-
ing the peace and quiet of the Camp, was
an agreement, on the part of the members
Of the Committee, to refrain from the dis
charge of firearms after sunset unless in
cases of self-defence Officers were ap.
pointed for taking command Of the mem
bers of the Vigilance Committee in cases o.
emergency, and a reward of Three Hun
dred Dollars offered for the apprehension
and delivery Of James Campbell, the con.
victed murderer of Estaban Naides, at the
Rooms of the Committee, which reward has
been forwarded to, and circulated in places
to which he has probably fed. Other mea'
sures for carrying out the object of the
Society with efficiency and energy, were
discussed and passed upon, and the hops
was earnestly expressed that all good citi
! zens wo.,l5 lend their jealous cooperation
in tbs attempt to preserve peace on Moke
lumne Hi IL, and to bring the perpetrator.
of crime 10 summary punishment.
Per ORDER OF THE EXECUTIVE
COMMITTEE.

that vi4ited this place last week during the
storm, made sad demolition of the tents on
the ou tskirts of the town. The M. +.
Church., which was strongly built, but on

turdayi night last. A substantial house, on
Main street, where Messrs. Jones s. Quirk
were d Ding business, was also blown down
on the same night.

MURPHY's DIGGINGs.-The miners at
this place have commenced sluicing, and al
last accounts, were in anticipation of being
we'll remunerated for their labor. An
energetic company Of fourteen men have
finished canal six miles long, which con-
:a:Ss acc!s Tatar to fat, that prospects yerv
rich. This canal, which was carried through
in six weeks, at some places is on an ele-
vation of one hundred feet above the level
of the creek.

MINING PROsPECTs.-From every part OF
the county we receive cheering news Of the
winters prospect. Since the rains have set
in, the miners are all :" hustle, bustle,'' and
the gulches in every direction are filled
with toms, and the smiling faces of the ope-
rators betoken that they are doing we'll
There are some few gulches, yet, however,
that have not held enough water to enable
the miners to'work, and which are spoken
Of as being very rich. Wall & Tinson's
gulch, for instance, which has always paid
we'll, is still dry but it is supposed that 50
soon as the many coyote holes on French
HaL-whence this small gulch runs-are
filled. there will be suficiency of water.
ALI the larger gulches in this vicinity are
running, and the miners, who have dirt
thrown up, are getting remunerated for
their patience and labor. We have as yet
heard from no mining camp, since the late
rains, where the diggings are not yielding
to the miners fair wages. Trade is brisker,
anu Ino 1oruer SIeHU SO0IOACJ oA S0A0A "U0O
is apparently changing for the better. II
the water continues adequate for the use Of
the miners, we believe there will be more
gold extracted this winter, than in any pre-
vious season. The mines are considered
better mO,0 than they aoere two years ago
for, since hill-diggings have been struck
the miner does not stop, because the gulch
is gutted;" but penetrates deep into the
mountains, and almost always with more
success than the average surface diggings.
Quartz-vein working, we think, will be sus-
pended for short time in this neighbor-
hood, as nearly oil the operators have rich
dirt thrown up, which they must wash.

That this state of society will, ere

all will cooperate together merging

Coon PA1.-A party of four, who had
dirt which they had taken out of one Of the
coyote holes, on Stockton Hill, realized
from one days washing fifty ounces. Their
dirt, since they have had water to wash it,
has paid remarkably well. There are q
great many piles of this rich coyote dirt
along the banks of Chilean Gulch, which
are paying the miners well for the patience
they have had in waiting for the rains.
