Bog The Sonora Herald denounces Mr..
Gwin as desiring the defeat of Gov. Bigler at
the late election, and applies the following
strong language TO him aud others
Having preferred the character of "a polit-
ical Judas, and having deavored To- betray our
standard-bearer perhaps with a kiss, let them
now cat of the fruit Of their doings."
The S. +. Ledger, the new organ of the ma
jority Of the democratic party in the state-of
the Bigler party quotes the Heralds article
.ith commendation. Mr.. Gwin's speech here
was simple statement that he was a candidate
for reelection, which election he presumed
would take place at7the next session.

BLEAK HoUsE-We have received a copy of
the above from G. Milford Either the poetry
in our organization has " dried up so that we
cannot appreciate the works of our old fayorite,
Dickens, or else Bleak House does not come up
to his previous efforts. 1t is said the author
has made 100000 by the sale of the work, and
he states in his preface that he has more readers
to it than to any preyious.one. But this is ow-
ing greatly to his previous reputation. Many
characters in the book seemed lugged in not as
accessory to the plot, but as portraits, their
faces appearing moment and gone. This
gives the author fine opportunity to display
his bent for description and carcature, but it is
used to fatiguing extent in Bleak House.
Some of the characteristic failures. Inspector
Bucket is clunlbsy reflection of an adroit Par
sian policeman, and gets new shades of charac-
ter at every incident. Skimpole is so trans
parent that the confidence with which he circu-
lates among the better characters of the book
is an insult to their supposed good sense. But
the author of Little Nell, &c, shines in Esther
Summerson, one of the sweetest characters that
ever fitted across the page of fiction. The work
is aimed at the tedious chancery practice of Eng
land, and hits admirably also the popular "miss-
ions" of the day, as that of cultivating coffee
and natives on the river Borrioboola Cha, in
Africa, and neglecting home duties.
DAMAGE BY THE SroRN-We learn from
Mr. Logan, the enterprising Middle Yuba ex-
pressman, that the ditch hooms along the Yuba
ridge were blown down and broken very much
by the high winds of Friday night. The
fooms in many places were fifty or more feet
above the earth, and were broken down for
rods 1t will take several weeks to repair the
damages Of some of the ditch companies,

of an Old Block have gone off in that place
like hot cakes. A great many have been sold
here, and the demand is still good.
H5T The Louisville Journal, speaking of
the election of senator in Kentucky this win
ter, holds the following language
. In our boyhood, we learned to admire the
United States Senate and have never since been
able to hear of the election of an unfit man to
that body, whether whig or locofoco, without
feeling indignant. Who does not greatly pre-
fer to see such men as Judge Butler, of South
Carolina, and General Cass occupying posi-
tions in the Senate rather than to. see the Sen
atorial toga draggled in the dirt beneath the
feet of such men as Weller and Petit ~
