been threatening for the past week, and
once or twice has greeted us with small
pattering. There has been respecta-
BILE rain, however, in the mountains,
which has occasioned considerable rise
of water in the bitches of the Tuolum-
ne Company. IF this would only con-
tinue, it would be much better than rain
here, as the miners could then enjoy the
blessings of liberal supply Of water,
without being obliged to work in the
rain. But this cannot last, for as the
weather gradually becomes cooler, the
clouds CONCEAL, and snow falls instead.
The rain in the mountains, we learn,
has not affected the miners on the Stan
islaus, as the large dam of the Tuolum-
ne Company has turned the increased
volume of water into the bitches; thus
preventing, as yet, the miners on the riv-
cr from being disturbed on account
ofsurplus fluid. At Pine Log Crossing
however, the miners are already leaving,
from the fact that they have not done so
well, for the past two weeks; and being
warned by the moistcning Of the wealth
er, to look for winter diggings, before
the rain oyertakes. them. We learn
from friend that the miners on the
Tuolumne, are in pretty much the same
condition. One claim that paid as high
as $500 to pan, few weeks ago, now
.scrarely pays for the expense of working;
and this is not the only instance, by ma
ny, of the uncertainty ofmining i'm the
rivers, particularly.
AS the miners leave the rivers, and
the appearances of rain grow stronger,
the dry diggings receive daily acccssions
to the population. Columbia has al
ready began to feel an impulse of new
life and activity, as the golden light Of
better times dawns in the distance. The
mines in and aronnd Columbia are un-
surpassed in the richness and depth of
the auriferous soil; and with full sup
ply ofwater from the bitches of the Tu-
olumne Company, will, in most cases,
richly repay the labor of the miner. fo,
years to come; as new and rich deposits
are constantly being discovered.
At Gold Springs the miners have beer
carting the dust from the road over which
they have been hauling for the past sea-
son, and it has averaged them 6vc dol
lars to the load. We have no doubt bu
that the dust from the main road il
Springfield, over which the miners hav'
been carting for the past summer, vii
pay equally as we'll.

TO THE PUBLIC.

With the present number of the Ga
zette, commences its second volume;
with new hand at the helm, to guide
it over the rough and turbulent sea of a
California existence. In assuming the
responsible position, as conductor of a
public journal, in this young and grow
ing State, and one, too, which has been
SO ably conducted by our talented pre-
decessor, it may not be considered a
miss for us to ''de6ne our position,' y and
declare, to some extent, the principles
which shall be our guiding star in the
future.
The Gazette will continue, as here
tofore, the advocate of the rights of
man, and the glorious principles of De-
MocRAcY. And, believing, as we do,
that these principles-to which we have
been educated from early youth, and
which have been confirmed by the ex-
perience Of later years,-are the best
calculated to elevate our race, and make
man the free, intelligent, and enlight-
cned being, intended by his Creator, in
stead Of the imbecile, servile tool Of
usurpated power and 4heathcnish super
stition,-we shall advocate them with
zeal and untiring fidelity; keeping alool
from all those petty cliques or factions,
which embrace the Democratic faith on
!yas means Of elevating themselves to
places Of trust and confidence, to work
out their own ambitious and selfish ends,
instead of faithfully and honestly serv-
ing the people they might be elected
and expected to represent. We hope
and trust that the Press will be the
champion of Republican Institutions,
through all coming time; or until the
germ which was planted by our Revolu-
tionary Fathers, and which has grown
to goodly tree,-whose roots are even
now moistened by the waters of the two
great oceans,-shall stretch forth and
multiply its branches, affording shelter
and an asylum from oppression and per-
secution, to all the sons and daughters
of Adam.
Our political opponents we shall al
ways treat with respect and courtesy; be-
hevlng that every man has right to act
according to the dictates of his own
conscience; and that truth and candor.
not abuse and vituperation,--is the
only way to convince and win. We shall
not, neither shall we allow others,
through our columns, to assail the pri-
vate character of any individual: be-
ileSing it to be unjust and cowardly.-1
Any, and all, such correspondents,
must ind some other medium than the
Gazette, for such purposes.
We shall keep our readers posted in
the occurrences taking place in the bu-
~ world; give choice selections from
'ne literature, pottery, wit and humor of
'ne day; encourage the cause Of educa-
ton; morals; the development of our
mining and agricultural wealth; and es-
pecially strive to advance the interests
aao prosperity of Columbia, and its Vi
cinity.
we shall not write out long pro-
gramme OF promises which circumstan-
ces may not enable us to fulfil but sh.n ,
use our best endeavors to make the Ga +
