ROUGH & READY, DEC. 20, 1858.
A fine young greg eagle was shot yester-
day by Jack Asher of this place, measuring
exactly seven feet from tip to tip. Jack pre-
sented it to Judge Roberts, but as there are
no means here of preparing and preserving
so splendid a natural specimen Of our nation

The Chapman Family performed here last
night to a crowded house, and gave univer-
sal satisfaction. A good room for such ex-
hibitions has been fitted up in Downie's Ho-
tel, which I hope will give us chance here
after to see and hear all visitors of a similar
character. All who have ever performed or

Small chunks" are found around here oc-

small indeed. and few of them, at that. But
as a general thing, it is my opinion, founded
upon an intimate acquaintance with all the
mining region for Ii. or 20 miles around, that
we in Rough & Ready, at present are doing
better than any other special locality. If
find leisure, shall send you description of
our diggings, with their various modes OF
working, &c.
The rain now gives us fair promises of a
! good mining season. We must rely entirely
upon bitches from the neighboring creeks,
and as yet we have not bad one-fourth sup

From movements at Nevada it would seem

to be found who have heretofore given lit

all praise. Thousands of young men wh'

Of the order here, they are very apt to tal

This is as it should be-. Persons so fond OF
brandishing and using deadly weapons, for
trivial causes, should receive no mercy at the
hands of the court, but receive their just dues
without regard to character or position in
society,". Then, and not till then, will there
be a proper estimate placed upon the lives OF
our fellow-citizens. Such sacrifice OF hu-
man life as there has been in California for q
few months past, is disgrace to any civiliz-
ed nation. AS general thing, it is the vir-
tuous and good of our community who are
cut down by the drunken and ruthless hand
of the reckless and abandoned. Let the citi-
zens in mass frown upon the perpetrators of
these horrid crimes, and they will stink away
from the indignant gaze Of right-minded
community and these outrages upon law
and order will cease to exist.

RICH FLAT, Dec. II, 1853.

Mr. EDTToR,-Our Flat, like a modest. re-
tiring maid, seems to have thus far escaped
the attention of bustling world, and we
think it high time she should make her debut
among her rival sisters
Mining was first commenced here in the fal
or winter of so. but the absence of water
rendered it impossible to do much. except
with rockers, until the idea was conceived
and carried out, of furnishing the miners with
water from Deer Greek. From that time till
the present, these mines have been in success
full operations, yielding a rich harvest to the
industrious, hard-working miner; and al
though she has already yielded up her thou
sands causing hundreds to go on their way
rejoicing to little ones and loved ones at
home yet we are far from concluding she
has exhausted her treasure in fact there ap-
pears to be an increase in the number of mi
ners and sluices at present.
Goshen HILL adjacent to this Flat, is excl
ting some attention at present; so much that
the Deer Creek or Randolph Water Co. are
conducting water to that place. Mr.. Ladow
and partner, who have taken the contract of
building an aqueduct for the above named
purpose, are progressing rapidly with the
work, and will probably have it completed in
two or three weeks.
Indian Spring Flat our next door neigh
Dor, continues to abound with precious ore.
as is demonstrated by the number that con-
tinue to labor there.
Among other things, we can boast of five
families, containing thirteen children. You
will hear from us on the subject of education
shortly, unless there is something done by the
Rough q Readyans and citizens of this Flat,
in behalf of the young scions of this district
What sayeth the elite of Rough & Ready
We pause for reply. MINER.

THEATRICAL.-The Chapman Family made
their first appearance in Grass Valley Oil last
Saturday evening, before the largest and
most crowded house of the season and were
we to judge of their performances by the loud
and enthusiastic applause which they receiv-
ed, we shonld certainly say that their acting
was capital The Jealous Husband was play
ed with good effect, and the Actress of All
Work was especially good. Mrs. Chapman,
in the various characters of this play, sue
ceeded adpirably in bringing down" the
applause of the house.
The principal attraction of the evening,
however. was Miss M. Chapman, in her cele-
brated Pas Zanetta and Ell Bolero, in which
she displayed much sprightliness, agility and
grace.
The comic songs, by Mr.. Geo. Chapman,
were highly humorous, and were sung in a
masterly and able manner.
On Monday and Tuesday evenings they
played at Rough & Ready, and as we under
stand, were received by our " Ready" neigh
bors with hearty welcome. The houses were
crowded, and report says they "shook so
hard" in giving their applause, that the seats
gave way beneath them, causing, however,
only momentary cessation in their mirth-
fulness and enjoyment. On last evening, they
again played in Grass Valley, sustaining we'll
their reputation of the previous evenings
This evening they will be here again, and
Friday and Saturday evenings at Nevada.

LAMBS THIRD GRAND RAFFLE-We would
call the attention OF all interested to Lambs
Third Grand Rattle, which is to come off on
next New Years Gay. The prizes are of a
superior quality, and may be seen at any
time between this and New Years, at Lambs
Jewelry store, on Mill street. The rattle is
gotten up on liberal principles, and is to be
superintended by S. N. Pratt, gentleman
well known in Grass Valley, as agent of the
establishment above mentioned. Fair play'
is guaranteed to all who purchase tickets
To those wishing to see fine quartz speci-
mems, we would just say, stop and take a
peep at Mr.. Pratt's window.

Mr.. EDIToR,-An effort is now being made
IN this village for the suppression of intem-
perance, by organizing Division of the Sons.
A meeting was held last evening at the
church. the results of which met the expecta-
tions of the most sanguine. The Rev. Mr..
Dryden of your village, and a distinguished
member of the order from below, were the
principal speakers. Incipient steps were ia
ken for the organization of the order, which
will be completed next week. No less than
thirty-six names were handed in to be enroll
