THE ELECTION.

'
 nual State Election-an event always of great importance in it's effect on the character and in terests of our Commons wealth. The decision by the citizens of a State. of the question, who shall be in- vested with the legislative and executive prerogatives of their Government, is, at any time, a decision of far reaching and momentous power, and one which should ever be made in distinct view of it's se- rious, abiding and inevitable result. The past furnishes abundant, and often mel- ancholly, illustrations of the truth, that the influence of the existing government of a people, is almost unlimited, not only upon their political action, but in giving ch aracter to their moral and so- cial life. A custom, taste, habit, em. ployment, sanctioned by governmental favor, naturally and almost necessarily, gains prevalence and power in society. As an illustration, we might refer to the state of society in France at the pres. cnt moment.
 But why reassert these familiar truths? For the reason that we wish to call the attention of our readers to them. in their connection with the present inter ests of the temperance cause in our State. It is neither our purpose or wish to define precisely aOhat legislative sc> tion should be taken by the next Legis> ture to suppress intemperance amongst u>; but in the opinion that some such action should be taken, we believe a large majority of the virtuous citizens of the State are entirely united. Now the existing government of this Sate is open ly and undisguisedy committed to the support of our present license system-a system which has been. and now is, pro- ductive of evils. personal. social, politi> cal and moral, of greater magnitude than spring from any other one source. The party supporting the existing govern ment, purpose to proIeng it's existence another year, thereby unequivocally de. claring it to be their purpose to resist all further legislation for the suppress sion of intemperance, and to continue the whole influence of the government in supporting the present ruiuous GUS . toms of rum selling and rum-drinking, so alarmingly prevalent amongst us.
 We ask our virtuous, patriotic ireemen of Litchfeld County. if they are prepared to sustain such purpose and sanction
 such course ? Will they aid in contin.
 uing in positions of commanding political and moral power, those who are pledged to array themselves, personally and off, eially. against Legislation, which is sdemau- ded by the highest interests of Society and and Government! Shall the State Gov
 ernmsRt of Connecticut, be pointed to the coming year as it has been the past, as the especial patron and defender of traffic,
 as inirinsically iniquitous in it's character,
 as is is destructive in its consequences, oI the brightest hopes and purest happiness } of man. .....' ... ......

A RELIC OF THE PAsT.-A large crowd
collected on the corner of Olive and
Third streets on Friday last, to witness
the digging up of the corner stone Of the
Old St. Louis Theatre. On removing
the cap bottle was discovered, which,
on being opened, was found to contain
one cent piece, two rusty copper CONS,
and roll Of parchment, wrapped IN
paper. While the paper was in a good
state Of preservation, the parchment had
rotted, so that it was impossible to read
what was originally inscribed upon it,
Gin. Gag.

MICHIGAN Clrx, March 2Sth, ,5S

MICHIGAN CRY, March 2Sth, ,5S.
3d. Mr.. Mitchell: Dear Sir-Since leaving
Auburn. | have spent short time about
this city Of Michigan; a place whose ex-
istence lis new, and even now unknown
possib y to many Of your readers. Last
summer the town consisted of only log
cabin, yet it promises soon to stand prom
inent and eminent in. Placer county.
The extent of the mining resources of
this vicinity are beyond comparison with
those OF. any other section between the
sources of the South Fork of the Ameri-
can and that of the Yuba, as far az an ac-
tive observation of more than three years
enables me to judge. The mines here
about were not supposed to be as rich as
they were extensive. The openings made
since limited supply of water has been
obtained have shown that the points of
every hill, as far as prospected, are good
mining ground, while those claims the
most worked are getting into richer dirt.
Mr.. Findley s. Co., who have worked
the farthest into the Dead Wood Flat, 40
called, received about "a oZs. on Satur-
day, their last days work; the claim has
generally ranged from 8 to % ozs. have
myself repeatedly seen the latter sum in
their pan on washing out at night. A
coupe Of miners made deposit with
Wells, Fargo & Co.; they had been here
ALL IL nd h t,,E
Others are doing extremely well, the
day. At Ell Dorado Hi |, two mi es
the same altitude rich discoveries have
been pade. MIR. Doumnond an enter
prising and successful prospector Of this
neighborhood washed out for his individ-
ua interest 80 ozs for two and half
days work; this was Immediately prev
ions to the late heavy snow storms; since
then his drift fell in and he has been rum
ming new one, OF 800 feet into the same
hill, and has Just reached the former lead;
one man drifting half day and another
wheeling took out ozs there is a deep
body Of very rich dirt within their reach.
New Giggings are opening dai y as new
points of the various hills are tested. The
growth of the place in substantial build
ings and the establishment of Express
agencies are ''signs of the times" The
energetic representative of Wells, Fargo
s. Co., at Yankee Jim's, has already
opened an office here; and if early deiv-
cry of news from the States, and general
proInptness and dispatch are securities of
public favor he is well guaranteed. Adams
& Co will commence hui ding at once.
I here is only one check to the rapidly
filling up of this region, and that is the
want of water to any large suppy. The
small bitches use the strIctest economy,
saving the water in reservoirs az night,
yet applications are dai refused. The
waters of the Ell Dorado anon are much
needed by miners; when the company now
engaged in that enterprise shall have com
pIeted their work, we predict that Michi-
gan City will he the center Of larger
mining population and the heart of more
rich mining region than other town in the
Northern mines. Ever truly yours,
PnosPEcToR.
