We have deemed this notice proper
for peculiar reasons. The Alta has
an extensive circulation and great in
fiuence, and though the article pur-
ports TO be a communication, we un-
derstand it to be endorsed by the edi-
tor. What makes it more dangerous,
this idea is embodied in a long and
otherwise meritorious argument, in
which the writer exhibits some knowl-
edge of his subject, so that the reader,
If not on his guard. would adopt sem

in view, and produce an amount Of

CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION
BY reference to our summary of the
Assembly proceedings of the I'd it will
be seen that the bill directing the peo-
pie to vote for or against the calling Of
convention to form q new constitu-

vides that on the day Of the next cleo.
ton for members of the Legislature,
the people shall vote "for conven-
ton" or "against convention, y
which votes shall be deposited in q
separate ballot box--counted and Ger.
tilted according to the law regulating

THE NEW DTeGINGs ON GREEN HoR,

THE NEW DIGGfNGS ON GREEN HORN.
We have before noticed that some
valuable discoveries have recently
baen made few miles east Of this
place. 1t would now seem that the
extent and richness Of these discover
les had not half been told; but as we
learn from our attentive correspondent
for miles up and down Green Horn
and the ravines leading to it, men are
focking in by great numbers, most Of
whom are doing we'll. There, as in
other parts of the mineral region,
there is deficiency Of water; but
this deficiency will soon be overcome,
by = ditch about being constructed
from Steep Hollow, and which, when
completed, will give employment to
1000 more miners. This ditch is now
being surveyed under the superinten-
dence Of Messrs. A. NJ. Winn, Jas. S.
Mann, and v. Gsllaway.
A company consisting Of Mcssrs.
Culbertson, Chew and Gage, have
been there since last spring. and have
