A LlBEL.-We find published in the Sacra-
mento papers copy of a complaint fled by J.
W. Gsil and r. H. Woodward against Senator
Gwin apl Ex-Mayor Hardenbersh, in which it
is charged that HE firm Of Gish y Co agreed to
publish the Statesman newspaper, and advocate
the reelection of Mr.. Gwin to the U. s. Senate,
in consideration, in part, of certain Government
advertising which h.g (Gwin) was to secure for
them. They charge that, in carrying out their
part of the contract, they employed Maj. Mere
dnh to edit the said paper and support MIR.
Gwin's reelection, byt that Messrs Gwin aud
Hardenbergh failed to perform their Part Of the
contract.
In reply to this, number Of gentlemen con-
versant with the particulars of the establishment
of the Statesman newspaper-among whom are
Gen. Denver and Comptroller Bell-pronounce
the statement of Gish and Woodward false in
every particular. Maj. Meredith, in published
card also states that the statement in regard to
hmselfis wholly false. we do not know Wood
ward, but as for Gish. we can very readily be-
lieve that he could not only publish, but swear
to, a statement of falsehoods. If he was as well
known by citizens generally as he is among
printers there would be no sort of proprety in
any person denying any charge made by him.

From Trinity County.

We learn from the Trinity Times. fnrn;.,
us by Rhodes & Co.'s Express that Trinity Nv.
was four feet higher on the 2s,h alt. than ars
known before.
The bridge, says the Times known a. Isu.;..
bridge, was swept away on that night. cars
away with il the fiume of Messrs. Fehley & icos
which had Just been completed at an ex nsn' ',
of three thousand FIVE hundred dollars. Weais WIse
understand that one of the piers Of Lowdsn -
Co.'s bridge at Grass Valley, settled nearly ,,,I
feet: no fears however, are entertained in :"
gard to the safety of the structure. The boa, =,
MONEYS Ferry broke adrift on the same n;oh,
and was carried down the stream several m,a.'
finally lodging a short distance above Lew;.;
crossing. Several mules and horses were .l..
swept away by the freshet The water iavsdrS
nnmerous miners cabins which lined the bant.
of the river; and many wheels, sluice hoxe,
toms and rockers, were carried off to parts nm,
known.
Since writing the above, we learn, that tbs
bridge across Trinity river at Sturdsyants ranch
near the mouth of Canon creek. was swept away
by the freshet on Wednesday night. This wa,
a new bridge, recently completed at a consider,
able expense. and considered to be very sub.
stantial structure.
We are informed by Mr.. J. Fehley, tha; the
injury to the Rush Greek Flume will be repaired
by few weeks labor

SHooTISG AFFAIR.-One evening in the fore
part of the present week, three Frenchmen visi-
ted another Frenchman in his cabin near Mid
dletown, and made an attack upon him. For
getful of all rules of hospitality, that gentleman
at once took his double-barreled shot gun and
shot one of them through the knee, and another
through the thigh. The other member of the
trio after escaping from big dog, took to his
heels as if "the man with sharp stick" was
after nim. The owner of the cabin then came
to town and gave himself into custody. From
all that we have heard we think he acte,! right.
One of the wounded party, Monsieur Delicol.
has since died from the effects of his wound.
The prisoner, who was out on bail, has been ar
rested again in consequence.

PACIFIC EXPRESS CoMPASY.-By the annexed
article it will be perceived that E. w. Tracy has
associated himself with other gentlemen recently
in the employ of Adams & Co., in the establish
ment of a new Express Company We quote
from the S. F. Chronicle:
1t is an association of very active and expert
enced men, and will embrace in nearly all por-
tions of the State those who have been acting for
Adams & Co. They declare their determination
to carry on the business in the fastest manner.
and safest. also, by moi connecting it at all with
with banking. They have good field, plain

and success. Several of tn ? company are favor
known to our citizens, and other. portions of the
State. The following are the names of the Di-

RnY-GnLD.-The hardest rains of the win
ter have fallen during the week. Every portion
of the mines is abundantly supplied with water.
With This ample supply of water, it is folly to
suppose that the recent bank suspensions will be
felt for any considerable length OF time 10y the
industrial interests of the country. We suppose
some half a million of dollars will be lost by the
suspensions. What of that Z Are there not ten
thousand banks in the State now paying out the
glitiering orc at the mere beck Of the sturdy
miner banks too that never suspend, thet never
.sdry up'' so long the water lasts We sup
pose that, dnring the month of March, these
rains will cnable the miners to take eome five
millions of dollars from theiy claims. and yet
we occasionally hear an indiyidual whining
about The terrible times that will result from the
suspension of two or three bankinS houses,
whose liabilities over their assets will amount TO
some half million Of dollars perhaps. Away
with such croaking.

Kern River Mines.

The most OF the news from the Kern River
mines is very hattering, and wages almost fabu-
lous are being understanding to some state
ments. Fifty, sixty, eighty, aud one hundred,
two hundred, and three hundred dollars and SO
| on indefinitely upwards, are said to be made by
almost every body almost every day. That fair
disgings haye been found ip the quarter referred
to, we are well satisfied; but men with five dol
lar diggings in this county are, we imagine,
much more likely to get rich by working them
than by going to Kern River. Kern River is
mighty distance from here, and very modest
tale started there, would most likely be SO great
ly enlarged by the time it would travel to this
section, that its own father would not know It,
We therefore advise our mining friends not to
become excited. Remember Gold Bluffs and
/" Gold Lake"
Since writing the above, we have observed
the annexed paragraph in the Times g. Tran
script, which goes far to sustain the opinion ex-
pressed above:
Four old miners, who arrived on the Ameri-
ca" from Los Angeles, on Saturday, tell hard
story about Kern River Mines. They say they
prospected the North Fork of the Kern River
thirty miles andscarcely found the color of gold.
They state that there is some gold at the river,
as they sold out and got some, for which they
got sla per ounce in Los Angeles. They further
state, that there are about four hundred persons
at the TETON Pass in distress, without funds.
There is report that forty men persisted in the
snow in the mountains. Mr.. Morrow, one OF
the party, is from Columbia, where he has resi-
ded four years.
The Shasta courier., 1855-03-10

Coon eur OF EvIL.-,Ve are inclined to the
opinion ii at much good will result after all from
the recent bursting of the banks. Already some
two million Of dollars, that for months have
been locked up the han9s Of bankers, has
been Withdrawn. As disrust Of the banking
system pretty generally pervades tAe eatire
State, men will cease the practice OF permitting
bankers to use their money for merely keeping
it, They will invest it themselves. Thus 1t
will be thrown more directly into general cir
culation-special deposits and all-and money
will become plenty. Another good result may
be seen in the greatly decreased shipments OF
treasure by the steamer Of the lst inst. Instead
of two millions as it has been for months here
tofore, ii then reached to but the Insignificant
sum of $493 Col II. By the steamer previous
it was but little over ninety thousand. Verify
we think the shadow at least of the good time
coming" is here
The Shasta courier., 1855-03-10

No Go-Several of the bursed Bankers have
filed their application for the benefit Of the in
solvent act. By the following section Of that
law it will be perceived that Bankers are exclu-
ded from its benefits
SECTION 80. All insolvent debtors, owing or
accountable in any manner for public funds or
property of whatever nature or kind ; all unfaith-
fu repositories; ali such as refuse or neglect to
pay up all funds received by them as bankers,
brokers, commission merchants, for money.
goods, or effects received by them in fiduciary
capacity, shall be denied the benefi of this Act.

MAGNIFICENT LUMP.--We were shown al
Rhodes & Co.'S Express Office, in this place, on
Thursday last, the largest specimen Of pure gold
ever found in this section of the State. 1t is
somewhat wedge-like in shape, being little
over five inches in length by three wide, and
weighs precisely sixteen poands-being, appa-
rently, entirely free from any foreign substance.
1t is worth upwards of $4,000. Messrs Wade
& Lindsey, near Scott's Bar, Siskiyou County,
were the lucky finders. There was a lump found
on French Gulch larger than this, but, by reason
of the presence of quartz, it was of somewhat
less value

FoRErGN IMMIaRASTs.-Mr MIR. Palmer has intro.
duced bill to prevent the immigration Of for
eigners who are ineligible to citizenship. II
provides that captation tax of two hundred
dollars shall be levied and collected from all
such immigrants. 1t makes it the duty of the
master of every vessel arriving in the port to re-
number and names of all passengers, and makes
this tax chargeable on Tie vessel.

HARD TO PLEAsE.-When Mr.. Selover was de-
prived Of the Office of Store-Keeker of Customs
"a mere sinecure, we imagine-and Mr.. Wash.
ington placed in possession of that office, the
whole fault was thrown upon Senator Gwin, and
it was charged that it was done through his In.
fuence at Washington. Now, that orders have
been received for the abolishment OF the office,
tits held up as evidence of the old Senators
waning influence at Washington

s. Co., as they appear by the statement filed IN

1t is believed that the real estate belonging to

that no more than so per cent. on the whole
amount of assets will be realized.

PAGE. PAcoS s. co.-It is confidently believed
that this banking house will be able TO resume
business IN the course of few days. From all
the facts yet published we are inclined to the
opinion that the creditors of this establishment

of every kind in Sacramento and San Francisco
advertise that they will take the paper OFF. B.

FoRcIBLE DIsTRiBUTIoN.-The office Of Adams
& Co., in Sonora, was broken open on the 4th

by goody number of scoundrels who did not
have cent on deposit, and the money found in
the vault distributed. The vault contained about
$45, 900, besides special deposit.
The Shasta courier., 1855-03-10

W Robinson, of the San Francisco Savings
Bank, thinks, il his creditors will permit him
the use of his property, that in ninety days he
will be able to pay them 37d cents on the dol
lar! The Chronicle says there have been some
things done by this establishment, which, if
they could be proved, would consign some of
the scoundres connected Herewith to Point ST:
Quentin. We think it likely.
