CORRESPONDENCE of the Argus.

VoLCANovILLE, June 9th, 1854.
FRIEND ARGUs-Comfortably quartered at my favorite
Sierra site, with your permission will spend hour of lei
in trespassng upon that Of your readers.
Compared with her eleven sister Townships of El Dorado
County the No of Big Bar may be strictly indicative
of its social condition. but is Think truly significant of its
relative mineral and general mining advantages
Judged by the daily Developments in its numerous mining
DISTRICTS and the present periodical influx of miners, they
are evidently No. L.
The place at which write is on the now well-known
horoughfare from Georgetown her whence by divergent
routes, via Cowdens ferry at Gray Eagle, Gray @ Co.'S
bridge at Volcano Bar and Briggs ferry at Big Bar, the
northern travel finds direct and easy to all the noted
pacers and placer cities of Placer couna county that
sports brace of Democratic Central Committees, each
having its standard of Democracy and both Jeersonan to
a dot or rather -!
But hold 1 degree two due north of my chosen
site and subject assuming position from which to
give you such coup doei the travelling public should
serve for sample of our spring migration And apopos,
just in time to spice it with lady She comes attended
by her fortunate lord reside among shed the sunny
sentiments and loving sympahies Of her soul
community Of miners in whose hearts her purifying pres
shall prompt the hobbng mother sister,
WIFE and all the select associations of other days
friends.
Say friend Argus Inot right in thus herading this
redeeming evangel of rude Hcsperian homes? How
could but notlce the setting OF anotner gem WIN inc
few that ardy spared in the rough mosaic of our mi
nirg pOpulaon To make my sample true one, however,
must form it exclusively of mascuines for dare wager
my prospect Of being the of his Excecncy honest
John Bgler that might keep my position month, with
out being able to report another such visit
Leaving out the lady then, it will be made up of our
brothers Jonathan and foreign Jasonsof the latter class
smaller proportion of the squnt-eyed Tartar sort, than
formerly And it is well for them, nasmuch as the opinion
is daily gathering strength that favored natonalties
entitled to the shining clips of the golden fleece, and
that these ssacar of bending bamboo and beasty burdens
may be- permitted to take just enough of the tagocS to
pay for the franchise The doctrine is in short, that from
whichever side of the Crcat Wall' they come they
everywhere, here and at Hong Kong this the other
side of the bel rock 'outsde barbaransour social
podes God them from their own doctrines of exclu
sivencss
In conclusion, friend Argus, certainly set out with an
object in view, but having myseflos sight of it, doubt if
with all your eyes, you will be able to discern it. And
send you this merely sort of preface to another in the
writing of which the object remains to be accomplish
edto wit brief and truthful description Of the mining
and business aspects of Township No My object thus
Defined having acerained the perspective distance that
-''lends enchantment to the view,''
will not 60 beyond it. BRIAREUS.
