Our CotfmpOrarieS.-We most cheerfully
tender to our worthy contemporaries of the
Press, our grateful acknowledgements for
their complimentary notices of our efforts
to furnish our liberal patrons with a res
pectable and readable paper. We are so
well convinced of the sincerity OF their
friendly greetings that We are at 10 ~loss,to
of the conviction that there is no ~fratcr-
nifty or class Of men possessing a larger
share of disinteIested generosity, than
the great majority of the Editorial corps.
The good wishes Of so many Of them
frequently and frankly expressed-having
followed us through our various changes
in business. can have no other tendency
than that of creating feelings Of sincere
gratitude and devoted attachment.
They o tell our readers that they
have an opportunity of sustaining a pa

it unnecessary to republish all their no.
tices. We recognise an evident s%inceri-
ty with no aim q; flattery. They speak
highly Of our citizens and their %intelli-
gence. and manifest every confidence in
their Willingness to sustain US in our en-
terprise. and we gladly respond hat they
have not mistaken the character Of our
people. We are gratifed that our feeble
efforts nave thus sounded their praise
abroad. 1t is not undeserving.
We think we have that population that
will ever sustain the favorable reputation
they bear as a result Of such lauda BILE am
bition aud enterprise. Continue to pat
ronize your county paper. Whilst ii
was small. you shared its disadvantages.
until your increase OF patronage justified
its enlargement. and that evidence Of your
liberality has increased your credibility
abroad. and insured you an ample remu-
neration for your dollar and a half at
home.

Prompt Action.

The Washington Union announces that
ID special messenger has been sent by the
Government to Madrid, with instructions
to our Minister at that Court 10 demand
immediate indemnity for the outrage COM
mitted upon the Black Warrior. and also
to endravor to procure a change by which
this government: can hold diplomatic re-
%lations directly with The Cuban govern
ment.
The tone OF the Union indicates that
no unnecessarily delay will be tolerated
in requiring of Spain The rendition of full
re paration for past injuries. and such
guarantees for the future as will not leave
our flag exposed TO insult. or our COM
merce to annoyance. Should Spain re-
fuse or neglect TO comply with these just
demands, we are led TO infer, as well from
the recent message of tho President 10
the House as from the Unions article,
that resor, will a, once be had TO compul-
sorry measures.
This prompt action of the administra-
tion, says the Detroit; Free Press, is in
keeping with the temper of the country.
The Americans residcntin Cub a could not
have felt more ~indignity when they saw
the stars and stripes lowered from the
Black Warrior, than every American at
home felt when he read Of the transaction.
And this indignation does not arise from
a desire 20 possess Cuba; but if often pro-
voked it will lead TO the taking Of it.

Salmon River Correspondence.

North FORK OF SALMON. April 9, 1854.
Messrs. Edaors:-I find by the columns of
your ever welcome Courier, that you have no
correspondent from this place, and by your kind
permission will keep you posted with Mining
intelligence occasionally.
The Miners are doing better at present in the
banks, than at any previous time since this
stream discovered. All parties are making
from four to twenty dollars per day to the hand
and there is room enough for two thonsand
miners 10 work for some years to come. There
is a large scope of country that is not prospected
yet; neither will it be by the present miners on
the creek, for they go no farther mp or down
stream than there is whiskey keg and sack
of fonr. A Canadian and the Deep Hole Digger
from Weavervllle, have just returned from
prospecting trip up the Greek, and report good
diggnss and plenty of them. Jackass and
Eddy's Gulch are paying good wages in the
Hats and side hills as the bed of the Gulch ever
did. The bed OF the river will be extensively
worked ihls coming summer. There is saw
mill now IN the course of erection that will
supply lumber in season for fuming purposes
All the claims. with the exception Of one that
was flumed last season, will be worked this and
there are many good claims that can be taken
up yet.
Many of onr old residents will leave This fall
with snug little piles, the fruit of two years in
dustry and economy.
We have one ten-pin alley in full blast, and
another in the course of erection. We have
also good boarding house, kept by the ever
pleasant and smiling Mrs. Sawyer, late towns
woman of yours. Mrs. s. and her obiging hus-
band are making fortune. and may they CON-
Plete II the coming season and be able to leave
these internal mountains for a more congenial
home.
For once, provisions are plenty and cheap in
this place. Yours, respectfully,
YANKEE FRANK

Northern and Southern Mines

1t has been the prevailing opinion heretofore
that the dry diggings'' of California were prn-
cipally located in the Southern mines. and that
those IN the South were much more productive
on an average than those of similar denomina-
tion located in the North. The publication.
therefore, that the Express of Wells, Fargo &
Co. had, during the month of March last ship
ped but $746.262 from the Southern mines
against 81, ,s72 l42 during the same period from
those of the North, created considerable aston.
ishment among the newspaper men generally
We trust the effect of this publication will be
removal of the erroneous opinion heretofore al
most universally entertained on this subject. and
a securing for the Northern Mines the full credit
for extent and productiyeness to which they are
justly entitled.
In an article upon this subject in the State
Journal, the editor proposes to the different Ex-
press Offices division of the State into three
separate districts, TO be called the Northern.
Middle, and Southern Mines. to be divided as
follows The Southern Mines to be bounded
on the North by the Costumes River; the Mid
die District to be bounded by the Yuba and its
middle branch, forming the North line of Nevada
county; and all north of this line to be called the
Northern Mines; and that monthly report of
the receipts OF the principal Banking offices be
made. We tAink the proposition good one.
and trust that our Express frie.ds in this section
will hereafter regularly furnish us with the re-
port suggested.
We are informed by Edward Tracy, Agent of
the house of Adams & Co. in this place, that
their shipments of dust from Shasta for the four
weeks last past. amounted to S272.S3i III.

of forcbly relieving them from I" durance vile. =
In this, however, they were defeated, much t.
the credit of the officers and law-abiding citi-
zens of Yreka, who were determined, at all
hazards, to execute the law. The Herald says
the days of lynch law in that part ofthe country
are at an end, and the people are determined
that its history shall no more be disgraced by
the unlawful proceedings of infurated mobs.
