Col. Fremont.

The dlta gives the following account
of the late trip of Col. Fremont from St.
Louis to San Francisco, over the central
route for the Pacific Railroad, so energeti.
cally advocated by Col. Benton.
Col. Fremont left st. Louis on the 18th
OF last October, and crossed the Rocky
Mountains on the 18th December. bv the
Cochatope Pass. To the east of these
mountains he represents the route for a
railroad very favorable-the land being
well timbered and watered and most ofthe
way exceedingly fertile. He reached the
Mormon settlement at Parowan on the
9Th February, pretty well exhausted. Left
there on the 2lst of February to cross the
Sierra Nevada. Crossed the Great Basin
and struck Ovens Mountain on 2lst
March, found it covered deep with snow;
Travelled north about sixty miles to the
end OF the range, and struck new pass in
the Sierra Nevada, in latitude Sc. and
crossed about the lst instant without
difficulty. 1t lies at the head ola creek
which empties into Kern River. of re-
markable easy grade, and can be cross.
ed at any season of the year. Col. Ere.
mont arrived in San Francisco on the | 9Th
ult, in excellent health and having lost but
man on the trip. He started with eight
americans and ten Delaware Indians
The route for railroad is pronounced
favorable.

The Auctioneer Bill.

The bill lately introduced into the
Legislature by Mr.. Pratt, giving to the
Governor the power to appoint auctioneers,
and to limit the number according to his
will, We consider fragrant violation of the
rights of one class of business men, whose
calling has always been legitimate and
honorable. 1t is one step more toward
the one-man power, so inconsistent with
true Democratic principles-a measure
that will deprive several hundreds of our
citizens Of the right to pursue what has
hitherto been their only means of support,
unless they are fortunate enough to come
under the great seal of gubernatorial pat
ronage. 1t is too much to expect that
appointments will be made out of the
party that happens at the time to be in
the ascendency, and that some time or
other the law will be taken advantage of
by designing men, to further their own
partisan views, though such may not be
the case during the present administration.
All good statesmen, democrats and
wings, believe that the powers vested in
the Governor are already great enough. =
The duties of his Office are already suffi-
GENTLY onerous without adding to them
the appointment cf petty officers in every
little town in the State. But argument
on this question is simply ridiculous
The bill we regard as the offspring of a
watery brain, miserable arrangement to
kill time, and one that will meet with al
most universal condemnation from the
better part of all parties.
The Sierra citizen., 1854-05-06
Conviction of the Mexican Consul.

AFTER lengthy trial, Sr. del Vale has
been convicted by the jury of enlisting
soldiers in the territory of the United
States for the Mexican Army. The be-
ginning of the difficulty was the fillibuster-
ing spirit. Efforts were made by the
authorities to prevent any more recruits
from reaching the camp of the Walker
buccaneers, and it appears that the Mexi-
can Consul, without intending to violate
the laws of the United States, unwittingly
did violate the letter of the law in en-
deavoring to prevent farther fllibustering
i'll Sonora. 1t is to be regretted that
Scnor de Vale became involved in this
difficulty, if his only object in enlisting
soldYrs was to prevent the landing in
Lower California of more adventures, to
eat out the substance of an imbecile and
defenseless people.
Much undeserved censure has been
hcaped upon the Court on account OF the
decision relative to the French Consul's
refusal to appear in Court, to testify in the
case of Senior del Vale. But the decision
of Judge Hoffman was perhaps the wisest
that could have been made in this case
without precedent. That the Court had
not the power to compel the attendance
of Mons. Dillon
Del Vale cites the article of the amend
lnents to the constitution which provides,
that "the accused shall have the right OF
being confronted with the witnesses against
him, and Of having compulsory process for
obtaining witness in his favor He
makes oath that Mr.. billions testimony
is necessary to his exculpat:on, but Mr..
Dillon avails himself of the provisions Of
the treaty Of August II, 1858, which
stipulatcs that "Consuls shall never be
compelled to appear as witnesses in the
Courts"
ne COnuucC Oh MOllS. Dulou Sd'Olc
strongly of an aHectation of dignity, which
would hardly be expected from the repre-
sentative of great nation. When invi-
ted to appear and give evidence as man.
he clothed himself in his consular dignity
and with well got up piece ofindignation
expressed his astonishment that such a
distinguished individual as Mons Dillon
should be requested to give testimony in
Court of the United States. His con.
duct appears to us no other than that o
"vain man clothed in a little brief au.
thority." Whether his government viii
sanction his act remains to be seen.

New County OF Plumas3 Z

INFORMATION WAsrED.-rhe question
is daily put to us--"Where is Plumas
County? Does it embrace any portion
of Sierra; if so. where IL the boundary ?''
Lawyers, constables, assessors, tax-collect-
ors, traders, and whisky venders, are "all
anxious to know but we are not prepared
to answer the question at present, as oul
legislative representatives have not fur
nished us with copy of the bin creating

Mining Items.

FoEEsr CIrY.-A correspondent from
this place gives fattering account of the
prospects ofthe miners, and also of the
improvements of the town. Fifteen or
twenty new houses are being built, and a
steam sawmill nearly finished. A great
number of men are at work in the vicinity,
and Judging from the amount of gold
passing through the express Offices, the
yield of gold is enormous. Claims in the
Live Yankee, Buckeye, Empire, Dutch
and Mt. Vernon companies are valued
from $4,000 to S9OOO.
MINNEsOTA.-We learn from A. S. Nc.
Millcn, Esq, that on Thursday, quartz
boulder was taken out Of the Blue tunnel
weighing five or six hundred pounds, which
Is supposed to contain seven or eight hun.
dred dollars worth of gold. The items
from this place are nothing else
of special interest.
GoODYEAR's BAR From G. +. Myers,
we learn that there has been considerable
excitement at Goodyear's Bar this week,
in consequence of the discovery of new
diggings between Woodruff and Rock
creek, about one and half miles from
Goodycar's, on the foot trail leading to
Forest City, The new diggings are sup
posed to be on the Eureka and Forest
City lead.
BLUE BANKs.-The Bunker Hill Co.
took out this week 1873 or. Finny & Cos
tunnel yielded IS OF. this week. Since
the l4th of March, this company of three
men has realized 685 or. !.
ZUNALr FLAT.-Finny & Cotton, sluice
washing on Zumalt fiat, have taken out
5S or. since last SATURDAY.
South FoRK.-The Badger Co. sluice
washing on TIE hill, are making about $50

To Subscribers.

The last number completed the first
quarter Of the publication Of the Citizen
Many of our subscriptions have now run
out, and will be discontinued unless we re-
ceive further orders All who are de-
sirous of continuing their subscriptions
will please send in their orders during the
coming week.
We have hitherto endeavored to make
the CtiSen as useful and entertaining as
we could, and have no reason to COM
plain of the manner in which our little
paper has been received. The illness Of
one Of the editors for several weeks, threw
an additional burthen on the other who
already had his hands full, and in q small
establishment where but few hands are
employed, the absence of either editor or
the devil is serious misfortune For the
same reason the Sketches from Our
Cabin have been neglected, as well as
other important articles.
We hope that hereafter we shall be
able to make the Ctti@en more worthy of
the patronage already literally bestowed
upon it; that the miners in the different
mining localities in this county will con-
tinue to keep US advised Of what it going
on; and that such as conscientiously be-
subscription, will send in their names.
To our advertising patrons we tender
our sincere thanks, ard hope they will
continue their very liberal support. Also,
as many bills are now due, and our
''modesty' will not permit us to dun man
more than three times day. we expect
those indebted will have the rhiino on hand
to settle as bills are presented

Adjournment of the Legislature.

BY concurrent resolution the Eegisla-
ture will adjourn sine die on the 10th inst.
after a session of four months and fifteen
days.
The most important business transacted
this session, was the repeal of the Stamp
Act; the creation of two new counties,
Plumas and Stanislaus; Custom House
lot at San Francisco, donated to the
General government; the State treasurer
required to deposit the public moneys at
Sacramento; the election of new officers in
the Insane and State Marine Hospitals;
and the passage of a printing bill. The
School act, Revenue bill, Nebraska reso-
lutions and Capital question, are still
among the unfinished business of the ses-
sion. Many of the members will, like
Cincinnatus, return to private life, and
in some little rus tn urbe of place, watch
the maturing Of the stupendous plans
that have beef set on foot. The country
is safe.
