MAMELUKE HILL, June 25th, 1855.
EDITOR GEORGETOWN NEWS SU:-I no
ticed in your edition Of June Dist lengthy
communication from the Post Master in re-
ply to Reform" He starts off with sup
position that the communication was per-
sOnal; he certainly had no right to suppose
it intended as such. Reform" denies most
emphatically that anything personal was in
tended, and regrets that it was so construed:
his sole object was to correct an abuse which
had become a source Of great complaint to
a large portion of the citizens of the Town
and vicinity, neither was it discourteous as
you would infer, at least it was not intended
to be so. AS to the Letter Box, reform"
must insist that if there was a box, it was
hermetically sealed against all letters from
the outside-but that it is now open, "Re-
form" takes some credit to himself. AS to
closing the Mail on that particular night,
it was so announced by the assistant Post
Master, that the Atlantic Mail would close
on that Monday evening; again on Wednes-
day evening it was stated that the Atlantic
Mail had closed, and it was too late to mail
letterS-although Mr.. Editor may have had
a favor shown him. AS to the fling at
somebody, that some were working for a
living while others were reading the Laws
of Congress, it will, no doubt, meet sympa-
thetic response in the breast of others
No more of that, Hal, and thou lowest me-
'. REFORM.

BOTTLE HILL, June 25th. 1855.

DOTTLE I'LL, y uuG ZOlu. 1000.
Mr.. EDIToR-Dear Sir:-It has been
some time since | left here, and [ propose
to give you few items that come under
my observation in my explorations of the diff
ferent mining sections that | have visited,
north aud east of this place. My principal
object was to examine Canada Hill, where
some considerable excitement prevails at
this time. From what can discover it is
good mining country and quite range.
The mines are generally paying well on
Long Canon, and in fact in all places where
water can be had.
When [ left this place on the 4th inst,
the weather was quite warm, and when
arrived at Canada Hill, l found the change
too great for delicate constitutions; ther-
mometer down to 40. Iwould say to those
that wish to 60 up there, to take sack Of
flour with them. Game is plenty, conse-
quently no scarcity of meat; as for lodging,
it can be obtained anywhere out of doors
for six bits, and four if you lean against a
stump and hold your own umbrella over
your head. There was something of stir
up there few days ago, occasioned by a
large bear coming rather Unexpectedly upon
lot Of miners; they were armed (of course)
and they fired few vollies which deprived
bruin of a lock Of his hair, when he made a
charge on the "bloods' and walked oft in
triumph.
Ireturned by the way of Wisconsin and
Iowa Hill and find all branches of business
carried on in a judicious manner, and all
will make money. At Todds' Valley l
heard good deal said about Peckham
Hill, and went to see it myself. The Bur-
lington Tunnel Co., have broke through the
rim rock. | was invited to take look at
the tunnel by the gentlemanly foreman, Mr..
R. E. HILTON, who seems to take pleasure
in showing persons the tunnel and giving
all the information in his power. Several
tunnels are going into the above named hill.
Claims are raising in value and eagerly
sought after. This hill is bound to eclipse
all other hills in this part of the country.

NEVADA HOUSE,. MARSH q Co. Pro
PRIEToRs.-T excellent Hotel has lately

thoroughly replenished in superior style
The Nevada House has long had an envia-
BILE reputation, but since its reconstruction
and re-furnishing is far more desirable than
at any time in the past. Besides this its
whole-souled proprietors are deserving of
that liberal patronage which they are ever
ready to bestow on others.

Fourth OF July celebration Colomn.

We would call particular attention to the
notice of this celebration which appears be-
low. 1t seem now quite certain that we
are to have no public celebration at this
place. The main reason which was urged
by many of our citizens being the fact of
the celebration at Coloma. The citizens of
the latter place came by hundreds to the
Georgetown celebration last year, and it
was argued with much propriety that this
year we should all patronize Coloma. So
we say. Let Georgetown have large and
full representation at Coloma next We'd
nesday. 1t is not only an act of proper re-
ciprocation, but from the extensive prepar-
ations which have been made, all who go
intending to enjoy the festivities of the day,
need not be disappointed. Not only this
place, but the vicinity should, and it is be
lieyed will be fully represented:
'The citizens of Coloma and vicinity tend
er an invitation to the people Of this County
to join them in the celebration of the seven
ty-ninth anniversary Of American Independ-
ence. Ample preparation will be made for
the convenience of all who may attend-
The day from about 10 o'clock A. NJ, will
beoccupied with professions, orations, ,toasts,
music, dinner, &C., &c, and a grand ball
will be given at the Metropolitan Hall in
the evening, also magnificent display of
fireworks. The different Societies and Fire
Companies are expected in their respective
uniforms. An excellent Band of Music
(Clapp's) from Sacramento will be in at
tendance and perform during the day and
evening"

Mr.. w. ii. SEAMAN gives grand Ball
at his splendid new Hotel, known as the

BsgN The paper which calls itself the
Miners " Aduocate not being esteemed as
such, it appears from the last number, has
been retained and become "MoULToN's" Id
Uocate. The retaining fee may have been
the five dollars which it talks about and per-
haps pleads for-but even that pitiful sum
is more than its advocacy is worth, as will
appear below:
"The Georgetown Neus has foolish par
agraph, charging B. F. Moulton with hav-
ing left without paying bill of fre dollars
(O to that office"
No such paragraph ever appeared in this
paper-not a word was said about five dol
lars. The NelrS said "Mr. MoULToN was
welcome to the amount he owed this office,
but should not represent at Coloma that it
was paid, and that it was our intention to
charge him twice, when in fact he new
er had paid once" 1t was the false as
sertion, and charging dishonesty that was
justly complained Of The Advocate contin-
ueS:
"a mistake having occurred, why did he
not proceed to have it rectifed after the
manner in which one gentleman would deal
W. .th another"
Here, to use his own polite language, 'the
editor Of the AdUOcate has made himself
ridiculous" 1t was upon the reception of
letter on the subject giving an opportuni-
ty to 'recti(y' the matter latter the man
ner in which one gentleman would deal with
another that the false assertion and impu-
tation were made about this Office But
why" it asks, put the blame all on MoUL-
TONI" Why? Because he was the manager
whose name alone is used as such, and be-
cause he alone made the charges. But this
last question originated with the client (as
a letter which has been received here will
show, and the AdUocate can claim no credit
for it; that is, supposing the idea was par
ticularly bright. Enough of this. We
would not respond to so small a matter,
only for the reason that in replying to this
poor AdUocate, we also reply to letter of
his client, recently received at this office
