Downieville Lyceum.

= On Wednesday evening last we had the
pleasure of listening to an interesting
lecture by Col. R. II. Taylor-subject,
Women in California." The simple an
nouncement that . lecture was expected
from this gentleman was enough to crowd
the house at an early hour, and We found
it impossible to get even an uncomfortable
seat; the notes we inteMded to take are
therefore very imperfect The profound
silence of the room was perhaps the great
est compliment that could be paid to the
speaker Whether the Col. caught inspi-
ration from the galaxy in attendance we
cannot positively say, but from the fact
that we know him to be man of taste,
we infer that under other circumstances
he would have been less brilliant.
After some remarks upon "woman's
rights" agitations and conventions the
lecturer proceeded to describe woman in
her proper sphere, and the force Of her
influence. While dwelling upon this part
of his subject, he said, "Let man battle
with the world-let him 60 forth to right
the evils of society, but let his heart and
mind be at.uned to the work by the gen.
tier influences of woman. Hers be the
happier task to cheer the domestic fire-side
with her sunny smiles; to build holy
temple Of the heart, to whose shrine man
may come from the weary cares of the
busy world and find peace; to rear an
altar around which shall cluster all the
tenderest sympathies, all the highest and
best affections; where the light of her
bright eyes may kindle fire of gladness
in the soul, aud her sweet voice, sweeping
the tremulous heart-chords, make more
delicious music than the harmonious whis-
perings OF Eolian harps.'
He then proceeded to show that society,
without the presence Of woman must ne
cessarily retrogade in ali that is good, noble
and virtuous. He drew sketch of the
settlement and rapid augmentation of the
population Of California, and OF the state
Of society Immediately following, its sub
sequent Improvement, and present state.
To the presence and influence of woman
he attributed great portion Of this inn
provement. After drawing contrast
between mining and agriculture, he pic
tured happy home. cheered by the pres
ence of bright-eyed, prattling children,
under the proper culture Of woman;
remarking that woman can render home
as attractive in California as elsewhere,
and concluded by quoting this glorious
verse from Tom Moore:
"Oh! woman, dear woman! whose form and
whose soul
Are the light and the life of each spell
we pursue;
Whether sunn'd at the tropics, or chilled
at the pole,
If woman be there, there is happiness
The Sierra citizen., 1854-03-11

face would convince the kind-hearted
monitor that beneath the general wreck
and ruin, the spark Of conscience is still
smouldering.
We are pleased to learn that several
Of the principal business men of this place
have determined to close their stores on
Sunday. We look upon this important
step as one which will elevate our villagers,
infinitely higher in the eyes Of sensible
people elsewhere, than any other move
fnent could do. There are here many
families of refinement, who wish to bring
up their children something like they
would have done had they not left their
old home to settle he-e. If stores and
public houses are still kept open and BUSH
ness goes ON in an endless cycle, these
little people cannot be expected to have
much reverence for day which is recog-
nised in all enlightened countries, except
Uy Tut iItOst dudLuONcu duu UdScI SOEt
in the community.
We are well aware that many will
oppose this movement as likely to inter-
fere with their business affairs. Many
affect to look upon the Sabbath as con-
trivance of the church for ecclesiastical
aggrandizement -as day on which hypo-
critics congregate to flch money from the
emaciated hand of poverty. This may do
to talk about in infdel associations and
stupefed drunken carousals, as sort OF
quietus to the "still small voice" of con-
science, but the fallacy must be seen even
in the feeble light of human reason, and
centuries after the last stone has tumbled
from the walls where these in6del coteries
held their conspiracies against the institu-
tion of the Sabbath, the long taper spire
of the village church will point to Heaven
while the lowly and the great kneel togeth-
er beneath the dome.

Big Strikes.
Scans DIGG1NGs, March 9th, '54.

SEARS DIGGINGs, March 9th, "a.
Messrs. Editors Having seen many
accounts of the various mining localities
with their profitable yield, &C., in the
Sierra Citizen, it occurred to me that
there is one that has been entirely looked
over, much more worthy of note than the
rest. But good diggings, like true virtue,
require no puffs, for the owner seeks not
to excite the admiration or jealousy OF
others, and feels secure in the possession
of what he has got. And the lucky hom-
bres who have good claims keep cool as q
seven up sharp, until they make their
| fortune.
The new diggings discovered some four
weeks ago on this fat, are said to be the
richest now known in California, pay
ing from 81 to 50 so to the pan,
having from two to six feet depth Of pay
ing dirt, and varying from eight to twelve
feet in depth. The company have put in
fine fume some fifteen hundred feet long,
in order to work their ground, which is
named the Independent Flume, and the cost
of which amounted to about $8,OOO. The
work has been prosecuted by men of en-
ergy, and in such manner as betokens the
rich reward the proprietors expect to re-
ceive for their indefatigable persevers
ance. The job has been completed in four
weeks, being the neatest job of work that
has ever been performed in the mountains
in the same length of time.
The miners throughout this neighbor-
hood average about sixteen dollars per
day. but there are claims paying as high
as $50 per day to the hand, and it is sup
posed that the Independent Co. will make
as high as $3.50 per day to the hand when
they get started. There are about nine
hundred people in this district, nearly all
of whom hold, or are interested in claims,
and there is room for as many more. There
are provisions enough in this place to last
over four months, and at the Eureka store
of Depew & Tell, can be had in addition
to their large stock of provisions, cloth
ing, &C., all the luxuries that the country
can afford. The hotel keepers are begin
ming to do a profitable business; the North
Star, City Hotel, and Wisconsin House,
are well filled with strangers and others,
which makes the proprietors of the above
named houses wear smiling countenances.
All the miners lack at the present time
is water for sluicing, but there are all ap-
pearances Of being well supplied with that
indispensable necessary ere long, as there
are about five feet depth Of snow here at
the present time
The number of sluices in this vicinity
preparing for work is estimated at $50,
and the quantity of water in an ordinary
thaw amounts to over 25O sluice-heads;
leaving surplus of 70 heads, for those
who want to try their hand or prove their
luck. MARLINE SPIKES.

BoDY FouND.-The body of man was
found a few days since at middle crossing
of Canon Creek, on the trail from It. Louis
to Morrison's kavine, so much disfgured
by the wolves that it could not be identi-
fed. The clothes belonging to the unfor-
tunate man were brown cloth coat, black
pantaloons and gray flannel shirt. In
the pockets nineteen dollars were found
fifteen in gold and four in silver. together
with ticket for the steamer Sierra Ne
rddo, with the name of Michael Cotheral
upon it; also letter from Illinois adj
dressed to that person. 1t is supposed
that the deceased was passenger on the
S'errd Nerada on her last trip, and that
he was frozen 70 death on his way to St.

The Complied Statutes.

MEssRs, ED1roRs:- Much has been said
in and out Of the Legislature, of the i'm
projections and omissions of the Compiled
Statutes of this State. 1t is much to be
regretted that the agents of the State have
sent forth their work with such glaring
errors; and it is matter of wonderment
that the Legislature should have accepted
it.
The Act"I To create the County of Sierra
and establish the seat Of justice therein; to
define its boundaries and prouide for ats
organization" was passed in 1852. The
portion of the act relating to the bounda-
ries and seat of justice should have been
Incorporated by the compilers in the act
on page s27, Of the Compiled Statutes,
"diuiding the State into Counties, and estab-
fishing the seats of justice Merein;" but
not word of it is there, nor anywhere
else IN the qcork. So that if we take the
Compiled Statutes for what they purport
to be-the complete laws of California
the county of Sierra has no legal exist
ence.
Will you call the attention of the Leg
islature to this, among other important
omissions in the Confused Statutes, and
suggest some course to be adopted by our
representatives in the matter?
The county of Siskiyou, also established
in 1852, notice is in the same predic-
ament as our own. Yours, LEX.

GOLD EXTRACTED WITHOUT Quick
sILvER.-J. Harris of London, has written
letter to the Mining Journal, giving the
following account Of extracting gold from
metallic ores without the use Of mercury.
The mines of Reichenstein, in Silesia,
abandoned for more than four centuries,
have been recently opened with advantage,
in consequence of the application On a
large scale of method invented by Prof
Piattner, for separating gold from the
waste ofarsenical ores. The ore of Rel
chenstein is an arsenical pyrites, contain
tanning about two hundred grains of gold
in the ton. The ore is roasted in a re-
verberatory furnance, surmounted by a
large condensing chamber, in which the
arsenious acid is condensed as fast as it is
volatized. There then remains on the
floor of the furnace oxyde of iron. mixed
with certain quantity of arsenic, together
with the whole Of the gold. This is placed
in vessel so arranged that current oil
chlorine can be passed through it, by
which the gold and iron are taken up, and
afterwards separated from the residium by
the aid ofa certain quantity of water, aud
the gold is afterwards precipitated from
this solution by sulphureted hydrogen
To prevent the admixture of iron at this
stage, a small dose of hydrochloric acid is
introduced. The auriferous compound
having been separated from the liquor, is
washed and heated in an open porcelain
crucible to drive off the sulphur. by which
the gold is reduced to the metallic stage
by auxing in the usual manner.-Er

Railroad Collision.

The Cincinnati Commercial Aduertise,
gives an account of somewhat singular
collision on the Mama road, at Milford
The engine of a freight train ran into the
rear car of passenger train. which was
standing still at the depot. The account
continues:
When Mr.. Watt, engineer of the mail
train, heard the crash of the collision. he
supposed his own train would be- driven
over him, and, with his assistants sprang
eff. The furnace had just been crammed
with wood, and there was full head OF
steam on. The force of the blow uncoup-
led the locomotive and tender from the
baggage car. at the same instant Jerking
the lever and throwing the throttle valve
wide open. Away sped the locomotive
like fat of Omnipotence, sweeping down
the track at seventy miles an hour! Coo
help any hapless train met or overtaken-
help the city. but full fourteen miles below
for that distance will be devoured in fifteel
minutes!
Harness me down with your iron bands!
Be sure of your curb and rein:
For scorn the strength of your puny
hands,
As the tempest scorns the chain.
The escaped engine came bowling by
Plainville- visible for an instant to the
appalled, villagers switched off into the
double track, as lightning from one steel
rod to another divergent and thundered on
to the city whose spires might now have
been seen. from the iron disc of this fiery
comet-but there was none to see, fol
rider. or driver or living human soul, had
the engine none. On. straight on the city
the city!!
lIaply the furnace door few open, tht
draught ceased, and little way above the
upper engine house, on a heavy upgrade
the locomotives breath was spent; it came
to a dead stand and stood there silens ane
cold, forming as much part Of the still
wintry landscape as the whitened rock ane
shrouded trees on the hillside above"

SERIOUS AccIDENT.-O Tuesday eve
ming last while Mr.. Wright, merchant of
this place, was engaged in examining GER
tain claims on the hillside, Immediately
above Bryfogle Flat, he missed his footing
and was precipitated over ledge some
twenty-five feet, falling on his head and
shoulders upon mass of broken slate and
quartz rock, thence rolled down another
precipitous ledge some eighty feet farther,
lacerating his person in the most shocking
manner. MIR. Gardner narrowly escaped
the same fate, in endeavoring to arrest Mr..
Wright in his fall.
Doctors Carr and Kibbe were immedi-
ately called, who pronounced the patient
to be in the most imminent danger, the
skull having been fractured in two places,
and in addition several other very serious
contusions.
After remaining some sixty hours in a
state Of insensibility, he yesterday showed
signs of partial consciousness, and hopes
are now entertained ofhis recovery. This
sad accident has called forth general SYM
pathy, as Mr.. Wright has been long known
very favorably, as an honorable and up
right man, and the circle of his friends is
as large as that Of any citizen in the coun-
ty. Should the injury prove fatal, the
position he occupied in our little commu-
nifty could not easily be filled.
The Sierra citizen., 1854-03-11

COMPLIED STATUTEs.-Uur correspon.
dent LEX" desires US to call the attention
Of the Legislature to the incompleteness
of the compiled statutes respecting Sierra
and Siskiycu counties, and desires us to
suggest some course for remedying the
defect. Our representatives do not require
to be told by US what to do in SO simple
matter, and will no doubt correct the
evil complained of by LEX" SO soon as
they are cognizant that an error or defect
does exist.

N0torietY VS.. Fame

It would appear from the startling
intelligence almost weekly contained in
several Of the California journals, that the
country was very far from being safe-
One would suppose that the spirit of
Cataline was lowering over the Capital
whispering into the unsophisticated ears
of members of the Legislature, conspiracy
and treason. This deplorable state OF
affairs may be occasioned by the migratory
character of the Goddess of Liberty, who
of late has betrayed very reprehensible
inclination for gadding about.
The numerous candidates for fame in
California must necessarily meet with
disappointment. The inches are too few
to accommodate the legion of aspirants,
hence the less ambitious must be content
with notoriety. A short time ago virtu-
our Senator was insidiously approached,
but after maturely considering the proba-
BILE consequences of yielding to temptation,
he wisely determined not to ''put money
in his purse" but to raise the cry of virtu-
Gus indignation.
Very recently ten thousand dollars was
offered for couple Of Senators, which we
consider very high bid for the ordinary
article in the rough. But in addition,
political preferment was offered, on condi-
ton that they would vote for the postpone
ment of the Senatorial election. The de-
mand for Assemblymen is dull; only two
thousand dollars was offered for full
sized one. This general dealer in Senators
and -Assemblymen is Mr.. Heman Doyle,
Associate Justice of the Court of Sessions
in Ell Dorado county. We are not aware
whether the Ell Dorado capitalist is 3
partner in certain firm of Senatorial
jobbers in San Francisco or not; however
that may be. he is, to say the least, ex-
ce,dingly extravagant, and unless he has
charge of the salamander of Croesus he
will be compelled to abandon the Senate
rial trade, and engage in specializing in
Assemblymen.
1t is singular that in no other State
such instances of corruption occur. 1t has
been reserved for California Legislators to
be beset with artful and designing men
with money in their hands to seduce them
from the path Of duty. In the older States
no parvenue or mushroom aristocrat
would dare to approach that august body,
much less to offer price for them. like SO
many oxen or slaves, for if they did the
public would unite to clash the rascal
naked round heavens circumference"
1t is humiliating to our character as a
State to have these appeals go forth
which will be read not only in the Atlantic
States but even in foreign countries, con
veying the general idea that our Legisla
tors are little else than animated merchan
disc.

allow THEY SUPPORT A NEWSPAPER
AMONG THE SAINTs.-The Editor of the
Neacs is hard up. He says: "If the readers
of the Ners would continue to read the
Ne,rs, they must hand over some tallow
and lard. by the light of which we may
write; and some wood to keep our fingers
warm. No mistake on this subject: and
we wish our agents to look at it. 1t seems
the Saints have been grumbling at the
prices charged by the Neus for subscrip-
tion, advertising and job-work. Mr..
Arich G. Brewer, foreman of the Office,
rebukes them in card for their murmurs.
He says: subscriptions are not paid in
gold. The paper is printed for the good
of the people-and anything they NAV
have. from a shoe-string to bushel OF
wheat, is received in payment-that they
may have it~and enjoy the benefit. Shall
the Saints (he exclaims) value the In
structions OF the servants of God with
money? Or murmur to bear their burden,
did | say, when man receives q full
equivalent for his means expended? Who
shall place an estimate upon the worth Of
counsel, revelation, doctrine and truth
contained in the columns of the .Deseret
Neirs y"
