AR RIVAL OF TIL E RIGA
SEBASTOPOL NOT TAKEN!

New YORK, October 30.
The steamer Africa has arrived, with
Liverpool dates Of October7.
She brings the astounding intelligence
that Sebastopol bed not yet been taken, and
that the accounts brought by the Baltic rela-
tive to the destruction Of the Russian feet,
the surrender Of Menchikoff, &C., were base
fabrications. The despatch signed ''Omer
Pacha" was also forgery.
On the alta, when the official courier left,
the fighting was going on without Interrupt
tiou. Meuchikoff with 10000 men had
kept the open field till the 18th, but after
desperate fighting was driven into Sebasto-
pol. The allied armies and fleets were in
full communication with each other, and had
formally invested tn place.
The latest accounts state that the allies
had carried the second line Of defence, and
that the bcsieged were hard pressed.

Little Deer Creek Mining Laws,
LITTLE DEER GREEK Apr 81


Nh. EpiToR i was a little amused in look.
ing over the Journal of the 1Ith inst. to see
the laws (adopted Aug. 5th,) of Little Deer
Greek Mining District bounded as follows -
"a the north and west by big Deer Creek. on
the soth by Gold District. aud On the east by
DonkeyVille district. Now sir, 1 would like
10 know from the gentlemen miners that made
tne Laws If there is not another district of the
same name near Bly, and would also ike to
hIo~ the whereabouts of Gold district .? And
wnete IL the @ state of California is Donkeyville
district M The boys Of the upper end would
have liked very much if the gentlemen If the
lower end of the Creek would have owen Sne
notice Of the miners meeting. They ur are uot uot
more than half pleased that said lsus s'0 vore nu
made after night, under ground in H cellar "','
We know but little about the var;ors
interests at stake among the miners Of va.
rious localities nor can we see that several
mining districts. which are so bounded as
to divide into three or four different parts
one small though Ito those occupying it,)
important locality, and to which the sew
eral districts pay no attention, can be any
the loser If this locality shouldls sever itself
The Nevada journal., 1854-09-01

Such things are done continually, and it
would be extremely unjust not to allow it.
In this instance, the three or four districts
that centre in the fat have no interest in
common with them, the laws which would
suit Big Deer Creek would be wholly in
applicable to them-those of Little Deer
Greek were designed to operate on claims
of an entirely different character-and
Gold Flat is separated ftom it by high
ridge, that makes them different com.
munity altogether. As their interest were
separate from those of other localities, in
all probability, they did not think those
others either cared or had right to inter
fere with the laws they might make fol
themselves, so long as they did not assu.ae
to legislate for those not represented in
their meeting

GREEN HoRN.-It has long been known
that many localities, on and near this stream
possessed the most extensive deposites Of
gold. But owing to the fact that water
has never beer introduced where the de-
posites were located, they have not yet
been fairly developed, and in fact remain
almost unknown. Those who have from
time to time gone there to prospect, have
almost without an exception returned with
the most cheering intelligence. A ditch
was once projected and commenced, bu
has never yet been completed. When that
is done, Green Horn will be known as
Forest City, and Iowa Hill now are.
Messrs. Coldwell & Co., are now work
ing on the South Fork of Green Horn
where they are making good wages. No
unfrequently tiey get from So to $50 tc
the pan, From personal observation We
know that much Of the ground in that re-
gion will produce such prospects, occa
sionally, and will always repay the laborel
for his toll.
