INTERESTING FROM SoNoRA.-The San Fran
cisco Herald is informed that Count Raousset
Boulbon landed at Guaymas in the early part
of August, and placing himself at the head OF
the French troops in the service of Sonora,
made demonstration against the Government,
whereupon the Sonorians turned out in force,
assisted by the Germans and Irish, when des-
perate conflict ensued in the streets of Quay
mas. During the conflict the Count challenged
the Sonorian Colonel to single combat which
was accepted, and while they were approaching
each other, the Count fell from his horse severe
ly wounded, having been struck in tue neck
with an escopette baH The Count was to have
been executed in his wounded condition. The
affair looks very much like romance, aud is
generally doubted by the press below,

SHASTA AAMUsEgEMTs.-Our town is so remote

the theatre, circus or minstrel band seldom Wis

then does turn up it is relished with peculiar
gnsto. Hence the will aud unique exhibition
in our streets ON Sunday last, given by about
fifty of the dusky warriors from the neig ghboring
mountains, with their mohalas and mucl,achas,
was witnessed with huge delight. 1t is true the
scantiness Of their wardrobe for time shocked
our modesty to degree painful to relate, >
but that soon wore off. when our satisfaction
grew immense. At the conclusion of the exhi-
bition, towards sundown, the actors withdrew
from the town in great good liumor, having been
literally loaded with favors in the shape Of che

The Marysuilie Herald, and its Chico CORES
pondent, have been making great ado in the
last two or three weeks, ever what they are
pleased to call the " neligibility,'' and bolt
stism'. of the gentleman whose name heads
this article. The Herald is wrongly informed
The ex-oflicial writing from Chico, has not this
excuse, but states that which either proves him
capable Of rtterng untruths, or demonstrates
him the pessessor Of remarkably unreliable
memory. Mr. naingerfield never applied Tor
the Judgeship Of the 18th District; bot be did
request the Governor to appoint Judge Frank
Tilford to that position Neither has lle ever
filled any other Office and except that OF
Secretary Of the California Land Commission,
and which office was rendered to him before
he left this county. He never las been No
rary. Mr.. D. has never since he first took up q
residence in Shasta, cast vote out OF this
county-and he has always refused TO do SO,
while performing his duties as Secretary of the
California Land Commission, upon the ground
that he was only stopping in San Francisco tenn
porarily and that Shasta County was his real
place of residence. So much for his eligibility.
AS well might it be urged against Gen: Denver
that he is Ip longer resident of Trinity Coun-
ty, because for two years he has been out of that
County, while performing the functions Of Sc
cretary of State at the capital.
AS to his bolterism, that, to those who know
the man, and are familiar with the doings of
the District Convention two years ago, is simply
amusing. 1t is a fact perfectly familiar to us,
that the delegates to that Convention divided
into two bodies and nominated two candidates.
There was no regular andldate-Daingerfeld
and Smith each, on failing to get the nomina-
tion of the entire Convention, having their
names presented as candidates by their respec-
tive friends, and therefore both running inde-
pendent of regular nominltion. The cause of
the split was the refusal of portion of the
delegates to give to Butte an equal number of
votes with Sskiyou, Shasta and Colusa. These
three Counties claimed that they were entitled
to Is votes the number allowed them in the
Democratic State Convention, and that Butte
was entitled to but 16 votes, the number allow
ed her by the State Convention. These are the
facts Of the case, and we trust the Herald will
do Mr.. Daingerfeld the justice to repeat
them.

MRssRs. Ep1rpRs CoURIEK AFTER many days
l again throw myselfupon your courtesy for al
appearance in public. Items of news are by nc
means scarce, but they are principally of po.
litical nature, and perhaps not really items o.
news to you, although they may be to some Of
YOUR many readers The election of Colusa
County resulted in strange medley of political
creeds. Major Bowie and General Denver re-
ceived the majority of votes cast for Represen-
tatiyes in Congress; and SO through the whole
ticket, nearly alternate men were elected, show
ing an adherence TO men, rather than to party
principles.
There i. one thing am happy to say of this
Little cow-county of Cousa, that not a Bogusite
could face the music, and cross swords with the
Chivalry at the polls. Now would not impute
want of courage to the knights of the glove,
bat merely say, for the information ol those
who may desire light on the subject, that they
were totally absquatulated on the day of cleo
ton. McDougal and Churchman were men-
toned mary time" on the tickets Of Colusa vo-
ters. =
1t affords ne pleasure to see that your inter-
esting cor. espondent Adobe" has landed safe
on the 4" other side of Jordan" although his pol
itics are not what believe to be the real Simon
Pure, holding, as l do, to a political salvation
through Democracy.
| am inforned that three several trains of en-
igrants recently arrived from the plains bring
ing with them large amount of stock. They
camped on the opposite of the river, near Law
sons Ranch. Many of them, l fear, will wish
themselves back at lron.e ere the year is ended
The crops of wheat and barley now being
fllreshed Justify the antieipatons of the farmers
of this vicinity, SO far as the yield is concerned,
but not in the prices. Both are now selling at
very low figures. Whether this is owing to the
overstocked market, scarcity of money, or
both, we do not pretend to say. But one thing
is certain, if the amount grown continues to
increase, aud the price to decrease, We will be
able in a short time to export advantageously to
the eastern ports, When that tipe shall have
arrived California will obtain her equilibrium,
and the finctuation in prices cease, business .
sume II permanent character, and she W ill pro-
gress rapidly to wealth and power,

A COMPLIMENT ro SHASTA.-lt Is with feel
ings of pride that refer TO the healthy state
of morals in this place--and it is with feelings
of mingled pain and pleasure hat we contem-
plate the condition ofseveral OF our eighboring
towns in contrast with that of Shasta. AT last
accounts from Yreka, few days Immediately
subsequent to the day of election, the bleods,
it is represented to US, were in state Of most
remarkable excitement-some of them wearing
two hats, (full of bricks) others were sporting
three or four coats and others still parading
the streets looking like SO many Falstafs, each
wearing from ten to a dozen shirts; while all
of them at intervals. were seen to G'lang'
through the streets in wheelbarrows.
In Weavervile the thing was equally as bad.
And we may state fact that Adobe" the
successful candidate for the Assembly, and
several other young gentlemen, who, not being
public property, we will not more particularly
name, were actually compelled to abandon the
town in order to g moderate" They of course
came to this quiet and moral little place, and
under our eye and guardianship, in n very short
time, were placed in statu quo, and sent back to
their aifectionate friends in a calm thoughtful,
and peculiar frame Of mind.

The Election Returns.

At the time Of going to press last week, the
returns indicated the election of Benham and
Bowie, the Wing Congressional candidates, over
Denver and Herbert, the regular Democratic
candidates. The returns received during
the week, however, place the election Of the
Democratic candidates beyond all doubt. The
cause of this unlocked for result was an over
estimate of the strength of the Broderick ticket.
The men supporting it had vaunted of their
numbers with such apparent confidence, that
people generally did give them credit for pos
sessing sufficient weight 10 distract the party at
least. The result, however has proved the con-
.rary, and the regular Democratic nominees
have been trium mphantly elected in the face OF
their bitter opposition. And yet these men
claimed to be the exponents Of the wishes of a
majority of the Democracy of California, and
| that the supporters of Denver and Herbert we're
| boilers"
The Union of the l4th says:
"The returns come in slowly. Those re-
ceived yesterday were added 10 our table, but
they do not materially alter the relative position
of the candidates Denver and Herbert are
| eircteu ny plurdlliieS. ranging from j~UU 10

true Democracy, they style hemselves-will

working majority in both branches of the Legis-
lature. We hope 10 be able to publish next
week a full list of the me9ibers ELECT for all the
| Counties in the State, as well as the full vote
for Congressmen and Clerk of the Supreme
Court
