will be unnecessary 10 write to teach his
counrymen who he is and what he has
done, for i, is as familiar az household

fought more battles and won more VIC

him his seat His principal ground SEEM

him the salary without dissent, and
therefore the Marysville Herald should
not 6nd fault. 1t is question that eve-
ry man can decide for himself, whether
or not the Judge was entitled to q sala-
ry before he commenced the discharge
of his duties. As it was paid out Of the
public funds, and these are not admin
istsred upon the same rules rs indiyid-

Mines at a small port north Of Callao.
The Quicks'ep Il another steamer had
been fitted out with passengers and
supplies for the purpose Of examining
the mines. Large quantities of quartz
had been found, but little gold, and il
is said that the mines will not prove
worth working, unless by machinery.
Dates from Guayquil to the I'd in

Consul at that port, having received
some insults from the Government Of
Ecuador, had struck his flag, and gone
on board the French frigate with his

Immediately addressed a letter TO the
Governor, informing him that if an

waiting for diplomatic instructions or
