have been such as to suspend mail and
express communication between this
place and Marysville With the excep-
ton of Marysville Herald p for " hich
we are iodebied 10 the Pacific Express
Company, we have had no papers from
below since Monday. The Honcut and
and one or two sloughs between this
place and Marysville, have been very
high.
The river has risen somewhat higher
than before, and caused the different
river companies to keep look out for the il
lumber piled along lis banks, from ten
TO fifteen feet above low water mark.
A large amount Of food wood has passed
down the river, and many have been
engaged in securing timbers for building
purposes md river operations, and have
succeeded in securing large amount.
From present appearances river COM
panies will be enabled to commence op-
Grafton the coming season earlier than
usual, as there can be but little snow in
the mountains. and the river will not con
tinue high lohg after the rains shall
have ceased.

AN ABORIGINAL ORAToR.-The Trim
ity Times says there is an Indian boy on
the Klamath river, about fifteen years of
age. called Jim who exercises an
extraordinary influence over the Indians.
He is said to be preoociously eloquent
In discussing the question of peace or
war, in a grand council, Jim mounted
the stump in favor of peace, and by his
" talk" silenced all opposed to him. He
has the "bar sinister on his escutcheon,"
the stain of illigilimate birth, which *
looked upon by the Indians as greater
stigma than it is among the whites.

ADoLIsHED.--The San Francisco
Journal learns that, orders were received
by the Sonora, from the department at
Washington, by Collector Hammond, to
dispense with the office of store-keeper
Of customs. The occupant of the office
was Col Washington of The 'Times &
Transcript" We are CAD to see The
patronage TO be controlled by cliques,
on the decrease. 1t seems little strange
though that the Office should be abolished
and Gwin not yet elected, if he is so verv
popular with the administration 1t is
possible that Gwin considered himself
reelected at the time the order for the
abolshment of the Office left Washing
ton. Accounts fom Washington state
that Mr. Gwin considered as certain on
the smiling of the steamer. This being
case he could afford 10 let the office BE-
abolished as useless expense of gov
eminent, and one that could be of no
further service to him, even though his
best friend suffered by its adjustment
His considering himself reelected, ma y
also have been the cause of his not keep
ing his alledged Contract with the
Statesman" as it, assistance was nc
longer necessary. This was SO, or else
the fact forces itself upon the people Of
California, that DR.. Gwin has lost cast
with the administration, and could not
control the disposition Of the govern
ment printing in this state, nor prevent
the adjustment of an Office held by
his frmest friend and maiH supporter

In first mentioning the subject, we
distinctly stated that we favored COM
mutation of his sentence, and in that, as
In the subsequent articles, endeavored to
show our belief in the justice of COM

pardon We have not yet seen sufficient
reasons to alter our opinion of the case.

Cor LEC'ING DAMAGEs.-.The owners
of claim on the Hill, had agreed with
the owners of a claim below, to run
their tailings into the lower claim, there
by furnishing the lower claim with water.
The recipients of the tailings becoming
tired of the bargain, ordered discon-
tinuance. This not being effected im>
mediately induced the proprietors of the
lower claim to bring suit, laying dama>

TO the defendants, which also gave the
defendants ten per cent. of the amount
claimed. Going to law is sometimes
expensive, especially in California.

has resulted disastrously to the "Union
Ticket" The gentlemen composing
that ticket, with one exception, were
badly beaten. The exception was Mr.
Hedges, who was probably, as good a
Know Nothing as the balance of the
candidates on the Independent Ticket ?
and was unanimously elected.
Gen. Allen, of the "Marysville Her
add" was elected Mayor by over 500
majority, and it is thought he would
have had more votes had it not been for
the incessant rain during the entire day
Gen. Allen must be a man of almost I'M
bounded popularity, to receive such a
majority. while laboring under the I'M
putation of being "Know Nothing''-
an imputation which he did not consider
worth his while to notice, doubtless
feeling conf lent that his consistent po-
litical course and personal popularity
would carry him successfully through the
canvass, and by his triumphant election
successfully refute the idea that he would
connect himself with secret political
society, and be the recipient Of its ia :
vors. We Congratulate hinl, and hope
he may live a thousand years, and be
Lord Mayor Of the anti-Know Nothing
"Independents' all the while L faith
'tw,s handsome majority, and coming
so unexpected and unsolicited, it must
indeed be gratifying to your feelings,
General. Now had it been some Office
seeking chap, who had been democrat
and whig, and failed to succeed with
either, and who had joined the Know
Nothings for the sake of office, had met
with and received the nomina ton of a
conclave, whose members were sworn
to support his election 1t would not have
been attended by any of the fine feelings
of modest merit, and honest worth.
which now animates the bosom of the
Mayor elect of Marysviile
The Union candidate in opposition to
Gen. Allen, was G. B. Fowler, Esq
who received but two hundred and ninety
odd votes in all This is bad defeat,
but Mr.. Fowler should bear in mind
that "whom the L ord lovcth he chasen-
eth betimes," and that the ways Of
independents, '-no, Providence are
mysterious and past finding out.
But politics and joking aside, Gen.
Allen is an honorable and courteous
gentlemen, and will make an able and
dignifed officer. Should the duties Of
his new position require hi TO surren-
der the editorial management of the
Herald, that paper will lose an element
of popularity that will not be easily re-
placed. II the "Know Nothings" must
hove everything their own way, we can
only hope that their selections for Office
may always be as worthy as the one
they have just elected Mayor of Marys-
vile.
The vote was very light, falling some
six or seven hundred short of the vote
last September. This was probably
owing to the inclemency Of the day and
to the fact that there is little or no i'm
provement carried on now in compari-
son with what there was at the last gem
eral election.
