THE BREACH OF PROMISE CAsE.-An exchange
says, speaking of this case, that as yet nothing
has been elected" On the contrary we think
several very interesting things have been ellci-
ted The fact has been elected that the fair
plaintiff is possessed of more than ordinary am
abiity-that, when vexed, she could get rid oil
the elegant and lady-like phrases of "the devil.
and damn it, with glibness and nonchalance
altogether very taking-that she would indulge
in immodest illusions and jokes in company
with gentemen-ihat on one occasion. in SINH
lar company she canght flee under her clothes,
and pretended to kill it-that with liberality
unparalleled, she permitted quite q lot of the
boarders at her mothers house, to enjoy the fe-
licity of slipping the enhancing nectar from her
rosy ponting lips, the happiness of sitting in her
lap the unmentionable delight of entwining her
queen-ike waist in thrilling embrace. The fact
was also elected that young gentleman. being
very modest had his arms, with gentle force,
placed about her waist by the young lady her.
self. This naturally suggests the additional fact,
that the Young man referred to was pretty near
as big fool as Joseph. of Mrs Poliphar men,
ory. Besides, all these little amiabilites on the
part of the young lady elicit. they well might,
the fact that she not looked upon by her
quantances generally, sustaining an ire
proachable character And lastly, the whole
proceedings far, elicit the fact that we, in be-
ing away up here in the mountains during the
happening of the events attested. were in de-
eide dy bad streak of luck" But it is always
thus-whenever it rains sonp we are sure to
find ourselves des'itnte of srcon

STEAMBoAr ExPLosIoN.-On the morning of

RUN Upon THE Horse ADAMS & Coon
the 18th inst. report was current in San Fran
cisco, that the firm of Adams & Co. had failed.
The rumor was started by the failure of a mer-
cantile firm of similar name. and fed by the
additional fact that the banking and express
firm of Adams & Co. had failed to publish their
shipments of gold dust, along with the other
shippers, in the city papers. According to the
accounts, there was a complete panic among
small depositorS throughout the city, and before
evening some twelve hundred frightened hon.
bres had Withdrawn, in sums ranging from
twelve to two hundred and fifty dollarf, an ag-
gregate of very near half million. The run
and the result are probably unparalleled in the
history of banking. Five hundred thousand dol
lars drawn from the vaults of private banking
the shock without tremble, without even any
considerable Inconvenience ARE occurrences that
could only happen in California, and perhaps to
the house of Adams & Go. alone. So great was
the confidence of the bankers, and large depos-
itors OF the city, that some million of dollars
were placed at its disposal if necessary But
the house had no need of this friendly assis-
tance-its vaults were amply supplied. 1t is
needless to say that the regular shipments were
made, amounting to something over three hun
dred thousand dollars. They were not published
however. for the reason that other bankers were
in the habit of exaggerating the real amounts of
their shipments, thus showing figures very near
as great as those of Adams 6, Co.. while in real
ity their shipments did not reach half the sums

The Senatorial Quc.tien.

Mr.. Crenshaw, in th- Senate, has introduced
bil the 6rst section Of which provides.-thal
"the regular session Of the State Legislature.
which shall convene in the month of January
next preceding the expiration Of the term of a
United States Senator. or any other session at
which an existing vacancy or executive appoint
ment shall be reported by the Governor, shall be
the time of electing U. S. Senators"
As the discussion of this important question
was postponed until after the disposal Of the
bribery case, the probability is. that no action
has been taken upon it up to the present time,
confident, from all the information at our COM
mand. that the bill will be enacted into a law,
and thus finally settle this vexed and exciting
question.
In this connection we would remark, that it
is most singular thing to see the editors below,
as well as the Benicia letter writers, treat this
question as If it was mere matter of rivalry
between Mr.. Frederick and Major Hammond.
A stranger in the country would naturally infer
that those are the only individuals in the State
who are fit to be sent to the United States Sc
nate. Both of the gentlemen named are doubt
less possessed Of very respectable talent. MIR.
Broderick alone, however, being above medi-
ocrity. But that they are the most appropriate
men in this State to orepresent us in the United
States Senate, we very much doubt. San Fran
cisco has always had all Of the representatives
in the Senate, and she and Sacramento now
have the honor of furnishing both representa-
tives in the House. We therefore think it not at
all presumptive on the pant of the mining por-
tons of the State, to claim the right of furnish
ing the next Senator. If they do not realize
that claim, it will be the fault of their own re-
representatives..

Loss OF THE GOLDEN GATE.
Purchase of Chihuahua, Lower

By last nights stage we received the FIRST pa
pers brought through from Marysville since

CoRRECTIoN.-Our attention has been called
to a misstatement in last weeks Courier rela-
tive to the debt of the county. We there stated
that the debt had been reduced during the past
year upwards of three thousand dollars, which
is incorrect,-the debt having been increased
during ithe time specified, considerably more
than two thousand dollars. The committee ex-
press the opinion, however, that this balance
against the treasury is but the result of indebt-
edness incurred prior TO 1852
The mistake occurred from the fact, that un-
der the head of g Outstanding Liabilities incur
red prior to January |, 1853" stand the figures
IL $500 and which include the amount of
liabilities already incurred for the year ending
July ], 1854. In casual glance, however, we
failed to observe this fact. and deducting the
present debt Of sl2 1886 Sc from the SIS, ,S4S 90
we arrived at the conclusion stated.
We do not publish the note sent us over the
signature of "a Member of the former Court of
Sessions" for the reason that the signature is
forgery, the writer, we are quite sure, never
having been a member of the Court of Sessions
of this county.
