and we know no reason why they should not as
well be paid, as county Or associate judges.
The Democrat winds up its TRADE OF abuse
and vulgarity, by expressing its deep regret
that ace should vent private malice" against an
individual through public journal. 0, thou
perfect being! You abuse another in the
most filthy manner possible, and then preach
sanctifcation to him for what your imagina
ton regards as foible.
As most desperate efforts have been made to
strain our languageso as to implicate Others
than those we intended, we would here relieve
them from farther trouble, by informing them
that we are capable of naming those we aim at
without their aid. No county officers, most Of
whom we fully believe to be honest men, are
referred to, except the court of sessions and
eyea there, there may be an exception.

Rail and Plank Road to Benicia.

Through the politeness of our friend ].
Winchester, Of Grass Valley, we have
received a telegraphic dispatch of the
vote of Marysville authorizing the common
council to appropriate sSOo,0OO to the
construction of the Benicia and Marysvills
Railroad, and $3.50 ,OcO to the construction
Of Plank road from Marysville to Nevada.
The vote which was had on Tuesday last,
stood for the first proposition, 954, against
it, 32; for the latter, 944, against it 33.
Thus has Marysville taken one impor.
-tant step towards the consummation Of
this great undertaking. We know Of no
object, the accomplishment of which would
have more beneficial effect upon the
country around Nevada, and upon Nevada
herself, than the construction of some road
which will serve as thoroughfare for the
business and travel of this region during
the winter months. A winter never passes,
but we are forcibly impressed with the
importance of this enterprise and even
though it may cause a heavy outlay, and
for time divert some of the means that
would otherwise be employed in trade, to
this object, it would evidently cventuate
in an increase and activity Of business that
would soon amply reward the investment.
1t wants but some decided action on the
part of those localities most interested, to
give confidence to capitalists that the work
is really needed, and that it is feasible, and
any amount of means necessary may be
raised without difficulty.

Indian Festival.

| The spring festival of the Indian tribes in
this county came off on Wednesday evening,
about two miles east of this city. Attracted
by the continuous trains of Indians, males and
squaws, passing through this place, and avail
ing themselves ofan invitation by King Wemah,
about hundred citizens went. to the scene of
festivity where they were mulcted to the amount
of 81 90 each They found the Indians en-
camped to the number of about four hundred,
having erected large conical house, 60 feet III
diameter constructed ofpine branches and bark,
covered over with earth. The dancing was in
the house, entirely by the warriors-the wo-
men sitting about on the ground. The dances
were varied from rude cotillon sets to hybrid
pokas. The music was made by striking sticks
together, and blowing melancholy reeds. The
dancers were in primitive eostume---that is,
with breech cloth instead of fig leaves and a
head decoration of feathers. The dancing was
kept up till about ten O'clock This was the
second assembly" of the season, and one more
takes place in day or two. Some of the
"boys" attended on the information that the
Digger ladies would dance Ia model artistes--
but that part Of the programme, though an
nounced by his majesty the King himself, did
not transpire.
It is peculiar to notice the Indian process
ions that pass through this city The women
carry large wicker baskets, in the shape of an
inverted cone, containing utensils, food, clothes,
SC. and often q picaninny on top of ALL making
o load from thirty to hundred weight while
the lord of the family, with feathers in his hair,
and bow and arrows in his hand, marches Ia
dignfed gravity at the head. Some Of the
Americanos, not seeing the justice of this dis
tribution of labor, sometimes interfere to tell
the male to take the burden. Such an idea is
totally disgusting to the Indian husband, who
emphaticaIly dissents from such interference
with his family discipline.
We are informed by those best acquainted
with the habits of the Indians that the squaws
are scrupulousy faithful to their lords, and save
in making them DO all the work, the husbands
are kind in return.

MINING NEWS.

One day this week, we took tramp out
among the diggings north east of Nevada, in
which we visited part of Bourbon Hill, and
Sandusky Hill This latter place is yet in
p o'pect. But the companies at work, manifest
the highest hopes Of success. Two companies
are opening claims on the Sandusky hill lead !;
and in the progress they have already made,
they have exposed a strata of beautiful gravel
and smooth boulders, some Of which, when
their elevation is considered, are remarkably
large. The "bed rock, is composed of a
mass of gravel and other earthly substance
cementcd together, which pitches into the hill,
so as to form kind of basin. The prospecters
have commenced some eight or nine feet below
the top of this rock, and are blasting it away,
SO as to make an opening through which the
water, which is quite abundant, may pass off
We will watch the development of these claims
with great interest Should they prove
good, it will show the mining adyenturer that,
when in the mining region, they need not con-
fine their researches to the creeks and fats
near them but that the highest hills, are as
likely to prove available, as any other altitude
this lead being within fifty or sixty feet of the
summit of the high ridge north east of Ne
vada, aud dividing Deer creek from the Yuba
At shaft on the Bourbon Hill We were
shown specimen Of oak wood taken from that
shaft 100 feet from the surface. 1t appears to
have been partially charred, and then q
large amount of it buried, where it has remain
ed during series of ages beyond the concep-
ton of the mind of man. The lead they are
searching for, is some 600 feet below the ele-
vation at which the Sandusky leadis situated,
their shafts commencing apparently at the foot
of the rock which forms the bed of the upper
lead from whence they 60 down about 200

ANOTHER SPECIMEN Mr.. Greenleaf, has
just shown US specimen from rock taken
from the Bed Rock Tunnel, at Smiths Dig
gings. tits thoroughly impregnated with gold,
and presents very rich appearance. The en-
tire rock weighed about 400 pounds, and is va
riously estimated at from twelve to eighteen
thousand dollars.
SM1THss DIGaINGs.--We learn from Mr..
Greenleaf also, that many of the companies at
Smiths diggings are are at present doing an ex-
cellent business. Packard's Tunnel Company,
the Jenny Lind, the Blue Star, and Lyman's
Co., and in fact all who have got into the main
lead, are realizing their most sanguine expecta-
tions.
AT CH1P's FLAT they are doing remarka-
bly, good business in mining. Of those compa-
nies that have got their tunnels into the lead,
none are making less than about $500 per week
to the hand above all expenses. This is what
we call good business, particularly when it is
a general thing among the miners
Ar FOREST. CRY, they have quit mining by
the dollar or ounce but count their earnings
by the pound. A few days since our informant
saw one company of six persons take out seven
pounds, at one days work. This, he informs us,
is but little if any thing above their ordinary
wages. Other companies, in the vicinity, are
doing similar business.

Mass Meeting.

AT meeting OF Miners held pursuant to
notice, at the shaft of the Triune company, in
the Blue Lead mining district, the following
resolutions were unanimously adopted
l. Whereas, according to the laws passed by
Congress, and the Legislature of this state
having reference to the Gold mining region o
California, miners have the right to make
laws within their respective districts for their
government as miners.
2. And as any such law in all cases of dis
puted ground necessarily claims validity by
priority of location, and pre-emption to the To-
Gators
3. Whereas, the Sandusky Hill miners have,
by proceedings at their meeting of the 18th
inst, interfered with and set aside the prior
right of the Blue Lead district without giving
due notice OF such meeting g-by cutting off over
half of said district-throwing claims into two
districts, and wrongfuly taking grounds be
longing to men in the Blue Lead district
4. Therefore, resolved by this meeting, thai
the Sandusky Hill laws--so far as they inter
fere with the Blue Lead distrct--are contrary
to the plain dictates of reason and justice, anG
we declare them null and void
5. Resolved That this meeting endorse the
laws of the Blue Lead mining district.
6. That we discountenancea all encroachmentS
upon miners rights as unlawful.
I. That the proceedings of this meeting be
published in the Neuada Journal

JUSTICES CoURr.--Some parties were brought
before Justice Colburn, on Monday last, from
Snow Point, charged with wilfully and ma
hciously" cutting water ditch in that region.
Upon the examination, which lasted the whole
day and greater part of the night; the fact
was ELECTED that the complainants and parties
accused had adverse claims to the water run
ming in the complainants ditch, and that the
defendants duly notified the complainants Of
their intention to take the water; whereupon,
Justice Colburn ruled that the chargeof malice
could not be sustained under the meaning ol
the law-that the defendants had committed a
wrong, for which they were liable to the com
plainants under the statute of /" forcible entry
and unlawful detainer, " and that the complain
ants had their remedy by civil action Tor dam
ages. The defendants were discharged.
The Nevada journal., 1854-03-03

RD~ The commencing of work il this region
in the mines is sign for litigation and disputes.
The Justices courts are wholly occupied with
cases Of this nature. 1t seems pity for all
parties that 50 much good time is wasted in
the season When it is valuable. But the great
est victims are the jurymen, who are taken
from their claims and kept sometimes two Or
three days, and paid but 50 for their services
