REPLY TO NESSELRODE'S CIRCULAR
The PARIS Monitear contains long reply from Count
Walewski, Minister for Foreign Affairs to the recent
circular of Count Nesselrode. 1t is as follows:
PARIS, MAY %
MONSIEUR. All the journals of Europe have repro
duced from the Journal de 81. PeterSboarg the circu
lar which Count Nessclrode addressed the 10th of
May, TO the Russian agents at foreign Courts. The
Government of the Emperor waited for the official ter
mipaton of the Conferences before il would pronounce
Judgment their general character; but since the
Cabinet OF ST. Petersburg has thought good TO appeal
without delay TO public opinion, will be aston
ished that in our turn follow il on the path which
IL has first trodden enter upon il, for my part. with
all the confidence which the moderation and loyalty of
our policy can inspire me.
viii in the first place recall the circumstances which
determined France aud England to consent TO take
part in negotiations al moment when the energetic
prosecution Of the war ough apparently to have been
the principal object of their thoughts and cares. The
treaty Of the pa Of December had been concluded and
the Western Powers, out of Difference to their
ally, consented TO attempt last effort of Cancellation.

ton is whether Prince Gorchakoff and NJ de- T;toff
have fulfilled this engagement; or whether ON the
contrary, they have fallen short Of il. This point

PROGRESS OF CENSUS TARIyG.-All the Marshsb
have been busiy at work these two weeks in coolest
ing the census statistics of the several Wards OF oar
City. We are told that some Of these Marshals arc
hard at work from l6 to ls hours day collecting I'll
sorts of valuable statistical information to the
population and industry of the great Metropolis Of the
Union. The greatest difficulty the Marshas incur Is
in obtaining correct information as TO the ages Of
dodgers at hotels and clearinghouse, who are gener-
ally absent from home when the officers make their
calls. The population of some of the Election IN
tricts win reach as high as 10000, while the manu-
turing statistics of other Districts alone occupies
great share of the attention of the Marshas. It's
estimated that the census will show populationa
about e5O, 600.

He gave a short history of the "Bolters" and
Requisites" He had no unkindness to-
wards foreigners. They had always voted
for him, but urged the necessity of self pres
ervation. While on this subject the speak
er read some important statistics showing
the great increase of foreign emigration to
to this country in the last ten years, amount
ing to five millions, or half million per
wear. Mr.: MARSHALL made many sallies
which produced great laughter and ap-
plause. All were delighted and wished him
to proceed. We have heard him when even
more brilliant, but on this occasion his
speech was more argumentive. We do not
attempt to give even an epitome of Mr..
MARSHALL S speech. He must be heard to
be appreciated. His diction is most excel

BIG STRIKE ON MAMELUKE HnL.-Mr.
VIM. III. PRATT about one year ago pur-
chased mining claim on Mameluke Hill,
for $3.50, and recently bought the right of
way in the Union Tunnel, to work his claim;
that tunnel coming to his line. On last
Thursday work was commenced in Mr..
PRATT's claim, and during the forenoon two
persons picked up Sc ounces of gold dust.
The dirt which was taken out at the same
time, we are informed by Mr.. p, will pay
about $4,000. The gold is very coarse
weighing from half an ounce to ten ounces.
GREAT STRIKE AT oLCANovILLE.-LARGE
NUGGErs.-We are credibly informed by
persons from the above place that within
the past week three nuggets of gold were
picked up on two claims. The largest of the
value of $500, the next largest $500, and
another piece of 5000. Many other large
pieces were found, amounting in the aggre-
gate to $4,000 in one day.

Is Gov. Bigler a member of any Secret
Political Organization

All the candidates before the late State
Convention, were required to solemnly
pledge themselves that they were not men,
bers of any secret political organization.
and all the other candidates did so in un-
equivocal terms. Gov. B1GLERs pledge is
reported in the State Journal as follows
"Gov. Bigler-Mr President and gentle
men of the Convention:-In obedience to
your request, | will briefly define my posi-
tion. First, l will state that have always
been democrat-I have never cast vote
except in favor of a man selected by the
democratic party-I belong to no secret or
will l ever belong to any organization that
is antagonistic to the democratic party, or
that is proscriptive Of any portion OF the
American people"
When the Gov. had concluded his speech
mfr. Casey said he understood that Gov.
Bigler had belonged to the Freedoms Pha-
lanx, and from the best information he had
received, he believed the Governor was yet
q member of that body. He would enquire
of that gentleman when he resigned"
This caused much discussion, as to the
right to require any further pledge, and also
whether GOv. BIGLER was member of the
secret political order above named, but no
further questions were asked, ard no further
pledges were made. The reader can draw
his own inference from the foregoing facts
and answer the question for himself Is
Gov. BIGLER member of the secret polite
al organization called Freedoms Phalanx,
or of any other secret political organization?

FoRD's BAR BRIDGE, July I'd, '55.

ORD OAK DRIDGE, July "a, %.
Mr.. EDIroR-Sr While crossing the
bridge at this point, l was struck with the
busy aspect of the miners along the river,
and having seen nothing from the many con-
lributors to your valuable paper relative to
the mines in this vicinity, l thought that
few descriptive notes might prove accepta-
BILE to your readers-although this, like most
other places along the river courses, saw its
glory in the way of mining during the years
of '49, 80, and 81; yet, from obstacles re-
Gently overcome by the indomitable energy
and perseverance of the miners, this and the
following year will witness as much or more
gold taken out at this point than ever be-
fore.
The Ford's Bar Company are averaging
large wages, and on some days S25 to the
hand has been realized. But, designed
chiefly to speak of Drunkard's Bar, one
fourth of mile below the bridge. This
bar is large and very deep. evidently the old
channel Of the river. Only small portion
of it has ever been worked, and that imper-
fectly with rockers; but since the bridge
has been finished, the enterprising owners of
the bar, ten in number, have built dam
across Otter Greek and fume three-fourths
of mile long that will convey one hundred
and fifty inches of water to the bar across
the river, thus affording an abundance Of
water to work the bar. Very good pay is
expected, from prospects recently obtained.
The bar is from ten to twenty feet deep and
pays from top down. 1t will require at
least two years hard labor to work it out.
The shares are valued at 81 900 each. 9th
er bars above and below are paying well.
Considerable fooming will be done along
the river at this point and below this sea-
son, atfording employ to large numbers of
laborers.
The proprietor of Livermore's saw-mill
at the mouth of Otter Greek, is doing a
large business this season in the way of lum-
bering, besides driving immense quantities
of saw-logs down the river to the city of
Sacramento.
The enterprising owners of the bridge
here, Messrs. FRED. SOLE & Co., after a
long succession of toll and delay in conse-
quence of the bridge being washed away by
the high water when only partially erected,
have it now completed higher and longer
than before, and proof against all freshets.
1t is sufficiently wide for wagons to pass
They have also finished an excellent trail
going up either side from the river, and are
now reaping handsome return from the
greatly increased amount of travel from
Georgetown and Bottle Hill to Todd's Val
lev and Yankee Jim's.
1t is in contemplation to make O good
wagon road along the same route, which is
perfectly practicable, and would we'll repay
the stock so invested, to say nothing of the
many and invaluable benefits that would be
derived therefrom by Georgetown and Bot.
tie Hill. But my intended brief communi.
cation has spun to wearisome length, and
| close. Yours, &c. INCOG.

NEwrowN.-The following is from cor
of late date: "Ipresume you
are aware of several large companies of
Georgetown gentlemen, that are running
tunnels in all the hills around this place;
they have good show if there is anything
in the formation and looks of country
Newtown is looking up. A large Hotel
just finished and opened, is doing good
business, Board is very cheap, only 81 per
week, and report says that the United
States is hard to beat. A new Livery
Stable has also been erected and still anoth-
er is talked of; and also large Clothing
Store. Look out for rival to your town,
up here in the mountains. They have
struck pay in two tunnels short distance
off, the dirt pays as high as four dollars to
the pan."

KANsAs.-Our Washington correspon-
dence, says the New York Herald, dated on

of Governor Reeder from that city for

few days before he sets out for Kansas
President Pierce assured him that the Cab
met will not approve of his conduct with re-
gard to the difficulty in that Territory
This is looked upon as sop thrown to the
South. 1t was thought that Reeder would
be requested to resign his Office, and if he re-
fused, that he would be removed by the Ex-
ecutive.

California Hills.

Ye wales, swift streams, and mountains steep
In all the scene around,
With groves and cliffs and dells that keep,
Echo to each glad sound.
You're fame is spread throughout the world
Through all the world renown'd,
For you the friendly bonds unfurld,
The cause, your golden ground.
Which ere the way turn my gaze,
There's beauty in the sight
Before me, green, the valley lays
With river shore so bright.
The mountains high that line the coast
Are seen with snow-clad peaks;
The silver stream to sight is lost
Behind the hills it creeps.
Around me lies the golden range,
Where Freedoms sons turn DER;
For labor done, in good exchange,
The shining golden ore.
While here and there town in view
Upon some airy hill,
And yonder stops tentless few
To cook their evening meal.
Below, stream with roaring sound
Is swiftly rushing by
Behind, the sierras peaks are found,
They seem to touch the sky.
In snow they're clothed from fall fall,
1t ne'er dissOlves away,
In winter time it forms wall
And stops the trav'lers way.
Two years ago crossd that way,
A weary trav'ler worn,
And oft hope to see the day
In which l may return
The tlowery sights the eye doth meet,
The fumes they cast afar,
With thoughts of home my mind doth heat,
Wish l was only there.
To meet my friends once more at home,
The friendly smiles to own;
Then no more would wish to roam
The world so wide alone.
Sad thoughts bring forth deep-felt sigh
And cloud the scenes find
But must towards my cabin HE,
And leave the hills behind.
The sun is sinking in the west,
The clouds red glare is shone,
The miners sign for food and rest,
The time he seeks his home
The smoke is curling from the town,
The birds are hush'd and still,
So must reach my cabin soon,
NV home in Bottle Hill. [BELTo.l
