time and will accomplish all and even more than is

From the salmon.

Mr.. Spriggs, Salmon Expressman, running in
connection with Cram, Rogers s. Co., informs
us that new diggings have recently been discov-
cred on South Fork Of Salmon River-they were
first struck by a Mr.. Miller. They are quite ex-
tensive, and pay from ten dollars to two ounces
per day.
The name of the man recently found frozen
on Salmon Mountain, by MIR. Trick, was Andrew
Murray, formerly from Galena, ILL., Whenfound
his head was wrapped up with the handkerchief
of his companion, Sylvester c. Bull. His cap
was found one hundred and fifty yards from his
body. Nothing has yet been heard Of MIR. B..
1t is supposed that he was frozen at the same
time.
A report reached Bestville, just before Mr..
Spriggs left, that Capt. Best, Capt. Woodward,
and Mr.. Chapman had been killed by the Indi-
ans, while on their way to Trinidad. Of the
truth of this, however. there is no certainty.
The snow on the east side of Salmon mountain
still lies about six feet deep. Trains, however,
may continue to pass. unless there be an addi-
tional fall of snow

RoBEERY.-The cabin of Nh. Piekert miner,
on Middle Creek, was robbed of some $500 one
day this week. The thief, or thieves. effected an
entrance through the canvass of the upper halt
of the gable end of the cabin, in the day time,
while the owners were at work in their claim
but few feet in front, and took several purses
from various pantaloon pockets. AS no clothing.
blankets or food was taken the Indians are not
suspected of the offence. Two strange dogs
were frequently seen in the vicinity few days
previous, and at time accompanied by a
Spaniard. This circumstance may, and we trust
will, lead to the detection of the thief.

THE SHASTA COURIER.
SATURDAY MORNING. FEB. "a, 1855.
E.;,,re 10 EIec. a o. s. senator.

On the 10th inst, the Joint Convention ad-
iourned sine die, without electing successor 10
Sepator Gwin. Our legislators have thus failed
10 fulfill one of the conditions of their election.
At least, this is our opinion. We believe that
not single man of the number who aided In
defeating an election, would have been placed
in their present position, had their constituents
believed, when voting for them, that they would
aid few partizan leaders in posiponins an elec-
tion of U. s. Senator TO another session.
Last winter portion of the Democracy urged
an election mainly for the that no vacan-
cy in the California delegation might occur.
This winter the same gentlemen have not scru-
pied to violate all party allegiance, in order TO
bring about vacancy. Truly, circumstances
alter cases"
Unless the Legislature go into Joint Conven-
ton again this session, the seat now filled by
Senator Gwin, must of necessity be unoccupied
for two or three months of next session of Con-
gress. And yet, we presume. these Hon. Sena-
tors and Assembymen, will claim that they have,
in good faith endeavored to perform every duty
incumbent upon them representatives of the
people. In this, however, the people will most
assuredy differ with them.
The following are the Ayes and Noes, upon
the resolution to adjourn the Convention die

PAGE, BACON u Co.-lmmediately on the re-
ceipt of the news of the suspension Of the great
St. Louis House of Page & Bacon, tremend Gus
run commenced upon the House of Page, Bacon
& Co., of San Francisco. We are glad to state
that the evidences of deposit were promptly me,
by the officers of the bank, who during the first
day paid out half million of dollars The run
has since ceased, the House fully establishing its
claim to perfect solvency. At the time the run
commenced, the vaults contained over million
of dollars. Mr.. Middleton, of San Francisco
states that the earnings of this House has been
$1,000, 900.

A FUNNY BILL.-The funniest bill yet intro
duced into the Legislature is that alluded to in
the annexed paragraph from the Union:
"a bill has been introduced into the Senate
which, in substance, forfeits all money left on
deposte with bank over year. II requires
the broker or banker to give to the assessor, on
oath, list of all his depositors, and if any de-
post is found to have been lying in bank over
twelve months unclaimed, the banker or broker
is required to pay the sum over to the assessor,
to be by him paid into the general fund. When
ever the party who deposited the money, or his
representative, calls for the money he deposited,
after the twelve months specified, he is to be
politely informed that the State has taken charge
of it, and if he wants it he can sue the State in
the District Court, and if he can prove the mo-
ney is his will get judgment for the amount"
The idea that man shall not be permitted to
let his money remain in the vaults of bank for
a longer period than year, without forfeiting
the same to the State, is peculiarly rich and re-
freshing.
The Shasta courier., 1855-02-24

A Novel DUKL.-A novel duel was recently
fought IN New Orleans, between two French
men. The challenged party having the choice
of weapons, chose hoop-poles, and both parties
were satisfactorily cudgeled.
This reminds us of challenge that recently
passed between two sporting men in Yreka, an
account OF which is published in the Herald Ii
seems that Mr.. Bill challenged Mr. Bah to NEE,
him in mortal combat. Mr.. Bah accepted the
challenge, and chose clubs, three feet apart
Three yards would have been much safer Mr.
Bill declined this mode of fighting, and, at last
through the instrumentality of friends, the two
were brought out on the field, armed with guns
charged with powder and paper. They fired
two shots, when they both discovered that they
had been laboring under mistake. Drinks then
settled the affair amicably.
The Shasta courier., 1855-02-24

The HANGING OF WILLIAMs.-An article
which first appeared in Sacramento Journal. is
going the round Of the papers, to the effect that
Williams, who was recently hung at Red Bluffs
by the people, was innocent victim of the
Lynching code. This is untrue. Williams was
an old offender, and had been convicted in this
county OF Grand Larceny in 1851, and sent to
the State Prison for term of two years. Be-
sides. several days before his last capture, he
had been caught in possession of mule which
he had stolen in Colusa. The owner of the
mule, however, fit to let him 90 unpunished,
when he returned to the same neighborhood
and stole another mule, with which he made his
way to Horsetown. when he was captured Sec
ond time. 1t was for this second offence that he
was hung by the justly exasPerated citizens.

FIRE.-A fire recently occu rred In San Fran
cisco, by which property to the amount of $37,-
600 was destroyed, as follows: The St.Charles,

mans House, owned by the Seaman's Bethel So
ciety. $4,000; furniture and fixtures of hotel

The NoUzE INDIANs.-Several men and forty
or fifty squaws with their children. belonging to
this tribe of Indians, are now on the ranch of
MIR. Job Dye, and are desirous of making treaty
with the whites. Their rancheria was recently
set upon by number of whites under the i'm
preston that one of their tribe had shot white
man, and many Cf them killed. They there
fore ask to be protected by the whites against
the whites. They also deny that the white man
was shot by one of their tribe.
