STEWART, the popular lecturer who accom-
panies the Mammoth Overland Panorama,

in this place, to pay Georgetown a high
compliment He said that he had been in
all the towns and cities Of any note, in the
State, and had no hesitation in declaring
that Georgetown was incomparably the fin

town in California. This has been the
unanimous opinion of all persons who have
visited this locality.

Mining Items.

JONES HILL.-The New Orleans Tunnel
Co., of this hill, struck exceedingly rich dig
gngs on Friday last, taking out as high as
$240 to the pan.
The Columbia Tunnel Co. are taking out
big pay. All we have to Judge from is the
dirt they get, some of which is glittering
with the "oro."
The Know Nothing Tunnel Co., of this
hill, broke through the rock on Friday last,
and struck gravel which prospected IS to
the pan.
PROSPECT HILL.-The Eureka Tunnel
Co., of this hill, working six hands, realized
5000 last week.
New YORK HILL.-The New York Tun-
mel, of this hill, is paying from Sc to 81 per
day to the hand.
PLu.Y & Co., adjoining, (three men) took
out in three days Of last week, $500.
ROUGH GOLD GULcH.-This gulch, lead
ing into Dark Canon, is paying well. COLE
& Co. are wheeling out their dirt and av-
eraging from IS to So per day to the hand
clear Of water money.
LAMBETH CANoN.-There are some sixty
men at.work on this Canon, averaging from
IS to $40 per day to the man,
CEMENT HILL.-The Nevada Tunnel, of
which we spoke in our last issue, paid div
idend of Sl00 to the share last week, clear
of expenses. There are seventeen shares
of stock in this company. They have 10
Or II men employed in working their claims.
Fort HILL.-The Wolverine Tunnel Co.
of this hill, broke through the rock lately,
striking very good pay. There are numer-
ous other Tunnels near this, that will be In
to pay in short time. This locality is new.
and is, perhaps about the best region to
prospect in, that can be found in this sec
tion of country. KENNEDY & Co. have late
" opened a new store on Mt Pleasant, and
are, we understand, doing lucrative busi-
ness. This place is about half a mile from
Fort Hill.

ed" from which we understand that the
same resolutions were adopted, and that in
the end the people refused to hear the cham
pions of the Phalanxers.
1t is true, the Democrat says, that those
who refused to hear Mr.. WELLER second
time, and who adopted the resolutions, were
all Whigs-but this is mere conjecture
where some explanation was expected. 1t
was Democratic Mass Meeting, and the
Editor could not particularize who voted.
On general vote it is almost impossible to
tell who votes "Aye," and who "No.''-
The presumption is that they were Demo
Gratis who adopted those resolutions and re-
fused to hear the Phalanxers make more
than two speeches to one. If it were PROV
ed that the ajority at that large Democrat
ic meeting were Wings, especially when such
"lion" as j. B. WELLER was expected to
roar then it nj ght lie inferred that the Wings
have very rapidly increased about Placer
vile, which is not claimed even by themselves.
1t is not intended TO justly rudeness
from whatever source it came, but the
Wings about Placerville, Gf any there b.
might justly complain that all the blame
is thrown upon them, when in fact the
opposition came from as good Democrats
as any of the Phalanxers. Heretofore
the Wings have claimed "all the decen-
cy" which was so presumptuOuS as to re-
ceive the ridicule of the other party; but
now it is not the Democracy, but the Pha-
lanxers whose organ claims that they COM
prise "all the decency'' Oft country. But
Mr. WELLER and his friends ought to ex-
cuse the untutored Americans il they did
not choose to listen to his second speech, es-
pecially as he is reported in the Times and
Transcript, as having eulogized foreigners
as having done all the patriotic things that
have been accomplished for the country, and
in the same speech denounced all the trait
orous acts that have been done or commen-
ced. as originating with those who were
native and to the manor born"
But whether it was from Col WELLER S
habitual abuse of native born Americans,
or from doing so at the Placerville meeting,
he may console himself that he was treated
like other great men have been-JULIUs
CESAR, for instance, of whose treatment by
the people, SHAKESPEARE. has CAsCA to say:
"If the people did not clap him, and hiss
him, according as he pleased and displeased
them, as they used to do the players in the
theatre, am no true man."

RUNAwAYs-Thereh has been no less than
four runaways of horses during the present
week in this place; two wagons and two
saddle horses, the two latter travelled by
this office. One of them came near enter
ing-the other, on last Monday, Travelled
past the Town Hall at a rapid rate with a
large stick of wood to which he had been
fastened, dragging after; not having heard
of his stopping, the inference is, that he is
travelling yet; as "Joe" says, he had the
dead-uood On it.
The Georgetown news., 1855-06-21

B.F. MoULToN & Cove regret the
necessity of telling the truth about these
Theatrical Managers. Mr.. MouLroN was
welcome to the amount which he owes this
Office, but should not represent at Coloma
that it was paid. and that it was our inten-
ton to charge him twice, when in fact he
never has paid once. HeObtained a receipt
from the Nevada House before the bill
was paid, and represented that he after
wards paid the amount for which he had so
obtained the receipt. That was simply
false. This management is ':penny wise
and pound foolish" Every company that
has treated Georgetown right, has been
literally patronized: but this company
without small bills, expected good houses,
in which of course they were disappointed.
We regret that such genuine actors as BAR
RY and PHELPS are not under a better man.

TALL OATs.-An acquaintance has left
at our office, some specimens of oats of ex-
traordinary size grown on his field immedi-
ately adjoining Georgetown. One specimen
is seven and half feet in height. The
head on another specimen, measures two
feet in length, and contains 379 grains
These oats were sowed last Fall, and the
general crop, we are informed, is of the same
general character. There are abundant ev-
licences in the vicinity of this place, that the
mineral regions of California are also well
adapted to agricultural productions.

Mr.. EDToR.- Sr:-The mining business
being the life of this section, it may be Of
interest to some of your readers to know
that Fort Hill, near this place, is likely to
prove itself equal, if not superior to some
other places more talked of. This Hill is
larger than any one in this vicinity now be-
ing prospected-there are six or seven Tun-
nels being run into it, three of which have
broken through lately. One. the Wolverine,
has got from soc to 81 so to the pan; the
Michigan prospects about the same; the
Thunderbolt and Lightfoot have broke thro'
but | could not ascertain what the prospect
is in this place, however, it must be pretty
good as they are pushing matters forward
with increased energy. These prospects of
themselves are not much, but they prove
the presence of gold in the Hill, and the
general opinion is that the channel is a large
one. You may hear of big strikes being
made at this place soon.
At Jones Hill things are going on quiet
ly. The Union Co. have been employed
during the last week, cleaning up the rock.
and have done very well. The Know Moth
ing Tunnel Co., has broke through and got
about half an OF. to the pan, and [ was
shown some specimens taken from the New
Orleans Tunnel, which would compare favor
ably with any of those from the Columbia;
but the Jones Hill excitement is dead, for
time, and | might as well 'dry up"
On Monday last we were favored with
the first visit of ROBERT ELLIS, his stage in
company, and it is said he intends visiting
US daily, arriving in the evening and leaving
next morning. Yours, &C.,

The Primary Meetings.

We have information from Placerville
that two sets of Delegates have been elect

From Mud Springs, we are credibly in

appointed time the Democracy assembled
