RSg~ The Miners Adrocate has the col

BGg~ The Miners Aduocate has the cour-
tesy, Notwithstanding its expressed desire
to maintain friendly relations with its
neighbors,) to charge US with an intention
to deceive with regard to the Placerville
election. This journal also thinks we were
not advised as to the facts in the CASE
Very logical, indeed. If not advised of the
truth, then it would only be mistake; but
if intending to deceive then, it was not ig-
norance. Notwithstanding this palpabe
contradiction, what about the facts. We did
not say that Upper Placerville was within
the corporate limits of the city From its
proximity it would be presumed to have its
effect upon the politics of the city. As to
the other fact relied upon by the Adrocate
to prove our mistake or deception" we did
not say the Democrats nominated ticket
but spoke of the "Order" Democratic
Club. This was true There were two sets
of candidates. The one supported by the
Club, which the Aduocate calls the Democ-
racy, and the other by the Know Nothings,
which resulted in the choice of the latter by
about the majority mentioned. So there
was no intention to deceive, nor were the
statements made unadvisedy.
But take it altogether, perhaps we should
not complain that "at so early period il"
our editorial experience" half dozen
lines of comment on long article in the
Aduocate, should be honored with a third Of
a column in response.

IMPROVEMENT IN ELECTRIC TELEeRApH.-

IMPROVEMENT IN ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH
A Swedish Sarant, Professor Edlund, OF the
Royal Academy of Sciences, succeeded last
year in making an improvement in the con-
struction of the electric telegraph apparatus,
by which it becomes possible to send mes
sages by the same wire simultaneously in
two opposite din nections. The principle on
which this discovery is based is verv simple,
and altogether different from that appntd
by Dr. Ginti, at Vienna, which was found
not to succeed. AS far back as the month
Of August last year, Professor Edlund made
some experiments on the wires of the tele-
graph line between Stockholm and Upsala,
by permission of the directors. These sue
ceeded so well that he constructed the nee
essary apparatus, which was put up in De-
cember last. and has been in daily operation
ever since. AS soon as the needful number
of apparatus, are constructed, they are to be
introduced at every telegraph station in the
kingdom; and, as the alteration is not eX.
pensive, the advantages gained over the Old
system are obvious, as one line of wire will
do the woak formerly done by two.

Mining Items.

Rocx CaSoS.-BARTcH & Co., have
struck very rich diggings in this Canon late
". The gold is very coarse, and is princi-
palIy found in nuggets averaging from 81
to $50. Miners are generally doing well on
this Canon.
EMPIRE CANoN.-The miners on this
Canon are making from So to So per day,
There is an abundance of water, and will be
during the entire season.
GREENHoRN CANoN-Those engaged in
mining on this Canon are making from S4
to SIS per day.
MANHATTAN CREEK-This Creek, sup
posed to be worked out, has turned up again.
and is paying almost as we'll as it ever did;
miners averaging from $4 to $40 per day
There will be an abundant supply of water
in this creek during the summer. There is
room for more miners in this locality, as the
ground is not all claimed at present.
MILK RANCH FLAT.-The miners on this
Flat are making from S4 to $40 per day.
The bedrock is deep and it is with much diff
Guilty that the gold is obtained from the dirt.
Dry CREEK.-This Creek has been work
ed over some eight or ten times previous to
this summer, and was thought would not
pay to work any more; but it appears by
putting in long sluices it will pay good
wages. Two men took out $50 to the pan
last week, from ground that had been work
ed over several times.
CANON CREEK.-This we'll known Creek,
of which we made mention last week, is now
paying well: averaging from Sc to Sl2 per
day to the man. Several claims have late
ly been taken up on a portion of this creek
that has heretofore been considered not
worth working, and have proved to be very
rich.
GEORGIA SLIDE.-Miners on this Slide
are doing remarkably well, averaging from
$8 to $l4 per day. The greater portion
of the town located there will have to be
removed, in order to give miners chance
to get at the "lead," which, from appear
ance is running directly under the main part
of the place. This Slide is principally work
ed with hydraulics
MAMELUKE HILL.-Several Tunnels in
this favorite Hill, heretofore almost entire
ly abandoned are now paying well.
CEMENT HILL-The Swiftsure and Ne
vada Tunnel Companies on this Hill are ta-
king out good pay. This latter Tunnel is
undoubtedly the most difficult to work in
this section of country, the cement being
too hard to remove with picks and gads, and
OF such porous nature that powder will
have but very little effect upon it.
We are credibly informed that CLARK
and Brothers at Missouri Flat, about five
miles southwardly from this place, took out
of their claims, Sl00 per day to the man.
during few days within the past week.
We learn that other claims in the vicinity
are paying nearly as well.

The COUNTESS OF LANDsFELDT's WILL.
One thing worthy of note in connection
with the last testament" (as it may chance
to be- of Madame Lola Montez. Maria de
Landsfeldt Heald. Countess of Landsfeldt,
&c, &C., &C., is that at the time of its de-
livery to Mr.. Southwick, she arose and said
in a clear calm voice.
"Take notice, all ye gentlemen present,
that |, Lola Montez, Countess of Lands
feldt Heald, do, in this presence, acknowl-
edge that l have now, living in England. a
lawful husband, and, that in the event of nv
death, none other, here or elsewhere, NAV
claim, assert, or establish that title, bv
which any control may be assumed or ac-
quired over the property l now possess, and
in case of my demise, dispose of it as by
the conditions OF this instrument, my ac-
knowledged will, here signed, sealed and de-
llvered, i'll due form of law"
This last act of the distinguished Count
ess, may not be comprehended byevery per-
son who will read this article, but there are
many III the community who cannot fail to
comprehend it in its broadest and fullest
sense. The world-renewned Countess sail
ed yesterday on the Fanny Major for Sgd
ney, and no little excitement was created on
the departure of the vessel from the Dock.

MAMELUhE HILL, u uIlc lZJl 1000,
EDITOR GEORGETOWN News &r:-A
public journal is the vehicle by which in
formation is conveyed to the people, also
errors and abuses are attempted to be cor
rected, whether they be of the people or of
Officials. The cause to which [ refer is of
an Official character, perhaps you can give
some information on the subject. Why is
the Post Office so conducted or constructed
that aletter having Government envelope
upon it cannot be put in the Post Office ex-
cept when the Post Master or his assistant
finds it convenient to attend the office 1t
is great and just cause of complaint and
more especially to those who reside out of
town. [ in common with many Others have
been obliged to 60 away from the Office
with our letters even though they had the
Government stamp upon them and to return
the next day, perhaps having to walk three
or four miles, for the privilege Of placing our
letters in the hands of the worthy L. NJ.
that he may scrutinize the direction. Post
Offices and post routes were established Tor
the convenience Of the people and to faclll-
tate the transmission of letters, why then, Is
the mail closed for the Atlantic States near
ly week prior to the sailing of the steam
er, which is a common occurrence with our
post Office. Last evening the mail closed
precisely at s p NJ, the steamer sails on
the 10th which allows five days for it to
reach San Francisco; good time for this pro-
gressive age and speaks favorably for our
worthy ?. NJ. Cannot we in this matter
have a REFORM.
The above communication of Reform"
with regard to the manner in which our
Georgetown Post Office is conducted, can
be much better answered by our Postmaster,
than by us. We hope he will give the de-
sired information.
We have heard considerable complaint
with regard to the inconvenience of not be-
ing able to get letters into the p. 0. except
through the F. NJ; and also as to the time of
closing the mail for the Atlantic States, but
prefer giving the Official first an opportuni-
ty to answer for himself. We should add
here, however, that the communication of
Reform" was received and ''set up" in our
-absence-and, although upon subject of
interest to this community, still we prefer
that correspondents asking for information,
avoid all language which is uncourteous in
itself. or which might be offensive to any
gentlemen referred to.
