Cram, Rogers & Co. have our thanks for the
Yreka Herald of the Sd inst.
1t seems the miners of Siskiyou, like those of
Shasta are bothered with the Chinese on ac-
count of Johns disposition to wash the dirt that
the miners have spent the summer in throwing
up. The Herald urges the miners to get rid of
them peaceably as possible. Says the
editor;
Tell John there are good diggings down in
Oregon, over towards the coast, out the other
side of the Butte and around. Anything to get
rid of them peaceably,
Pretty good morality this, friend Thornbury,

On the lst inst-,- Mr.. Curtis, of Siskiyou, in
troduced bill for an act to authorize Hugh Sill
Ger and others to construct wagon road from
the head of Sacramento Valley to Shasta Valley.
The Unisn speaks Of it as follows:
1t contemplates the construction of wagon
road from the head of Sacramento Valley to
Shasta Valley, for the purpose OF opening direct
communication between the rich county of Sis
kiyou and the Sacramento. There is at present
shipped to that section of country no less than
three millions of dollars worth of property of
every description annually, and it is of the ut
most importance that every facility be afforded
which will tend to increase the trade with the
North. In time of hostilites with the Indians,
munitions of can be conveyed over such a
road far more expeditously and cheaply than by
any other route. Heretofore, the people of that
section have been compelled to rely wholly on
themselves for means wherewith to suppress
Indian disturbances.
The Legislature of SIG granted to the late
James L. Freanor the right to construct SINH
lar road, and are assured that the present
enterprise is in the hands of men as energetic,
competent and substantial as the lamented pio-
neer protector of the road.

sacranense Correspondence.


Ep1roRs CouRrrR:-Items Of news are some
what scarce Just now. The late accident Of the
Pearl has ceased to be the theme of conversa-
tion, and is merely referred to as one Of those
unavoidable occurrences which prove that we
have yet to learn method of entirely subjuga-
ting the elements to our will.
The Supreme Court opened its session to-day,
and, am informed, made one very important
decison-that Courts of Sessions have jurisdlc-
ton in criminal cases only. II will now become
necessary for the Legislature to enact some law
for the formation of Boards of Supervisors in
the various counties OF the State. There have
been introduced several bills to meet the object,
but none seems to suit the wants of members
and fear, that if bill is passed it will SO
mutilate as to prove of little service to the
State.
There is general tendency to local or special
legislation, and l fear that by spling we shall
the State.
The members are after the financial depart.
ment with sharp stick, and l anticipate q
warm time before they get the thousand dollars
each.
The Senatorial election drags its slow length
along and will, l apprehend, be on hand all
winter or shortly go to the people. The Wings
would like to have Mr.. Wood used as compro-
mise candidate, but the Democracy find it i'm
possible to meet upon man of their own name
and no one of the factions, save the Gwinites
could bring force enough to elect Whig, and a,
a matter of course that faction will not yield to
any force weaker than itself.
l have to learn that any member of any fac
tion will cast vote for Whig, although two
Wings have voted for Gwin from the start.
There was Democratic (" love feast" last Fri
day night, and think the only result will be to
prove that man may smile, and smile, and be
villain still''-to show the " iron hand in the
velvet glove" The friends of each man hold
that they are contendiHg for great principle
that their man is the personi6cation of that prin-
ciple-that they will never sacrifice principle
for men. The people will be able to decide
who are for principle and who are for men at
the coming election, if there should be no rep
resentation in our national halls to fill the place
of DR.. Gwin. The Wings are willing to let il
60 over, knowing that they lose nothing and
stand chance, with proper management, to
win all. The posfponing of the election will in
dubitably increase the wound Of Democracy, for
each faction will endeavor to throw the blame
on one OF the others, and the Wings will march
in solid phalanx to victory
There will be another ballot or two taken to.
morrow with, apprehend, the same result as
hitherto. There is another appointment Of
=" love feast'' tomorrow night, when, if there is
no other compromise, they will conclude to sub
nit the whole thing to the soverelgns next fall

ment of the Convention sine die on Wednesday

~ The chaplaincy question again up in
the Assembly on the end inst, and by large
vote laid the table till the first of MAY next.
Adobe y writes US:
AS considerable has been said about the
chaplaincy of the Assembly, we would say that
we believe the views of the Assembly upon that
point were more correctly expressed in the
Courier Of the 9th ult., than in any known pre-
vious statement.
Which view was, that the prayers of these
chaplains were, generally, simply so many nuisan-
ces, for the reason that chaplaips are almost
always politico-religionists,- who believes
that the prayers of such lukewarm Christian
teachers are listened to by the Being whom the
Good Book says gives heed to the prayers of the
pure in heart alonel

ETHIOPIAN SEREHADERs.-This band of Sere-
naders-composed of Messrs. Watson, King,
in town during the week. They will perform
again this evening, at the Eagle Hotel. Judging
from their previous efforts, and from the pub
lished programme for the evening, the au dience
will get their moneys worth. King certainly
excels any performer that have ever seen
handle the tambourine, while the double shuttle
and heel and toe-tap movements of young Dar-
ling are alone worth the price of admission
Any one suffering from the blues'' may find
relief by visiting the Serenaders.

Recovery of Treasure.

It will be recollected that Rhodes & Co.'s iron
safe containing $4,000 of treasure, by the ex.
plosion Of the Pearl, was blown into the Sacra-
mento river. We are happy to state that it has
since been recovered-having been dragged
from the bottom of the river by Mr.. John Ayres,
one of the gentlemen connected with the Sacra-
mento City Bank The same gentleman was
also so fortunate as to find the box containing
the treasure, some $4,000, of Wells, Fargo &
Co., which was blown into the river at the same
time

JOHN TABoR.-It is thought that Gov. Bigler,
in obedience to the very general wish of those
acquainted with the facts of the case, will par
for killing Mr.. Mansfield. 1t is altogether proba-
BILE that the deed was committed rather through
fear than malice. A large number of petitions
for his pardon have been received by Gov. Big
Ter, among others, from Texas, signed by
three hundred ofhis former neighbors, including
GOV. Henderson.

REPORT OF Sur. PUrLrc INsrRrcTIny.-Bv The

hve and fifteen, and by the apportionment of
Jan. l. 1855, is entitled to 1886 81 of the State

RAIN.-The hearts of the miners were made
glad on Wednesday night by the commence
ment of quite heavy rain. On Thursday and
Thursday night very large quantity of water
fell. On Friday morning the rain ceased, but
now (Friday evening" as we write, the clouds
are gathering thick and black We trust that
the heavens may continue to weep in pity for
the poor miners-and their dependents, under
which head all other branches of business are
included.

The CLEAR CREEK DITCH.-We understand
that the Clear Greek Water Company completed
the survey of their proposed ditch on Wednes-
day. The survey was made by E. C. Gillette,
Esq. The ditch will commence about one mile
below Towers Bridge, and terminate on the
ridge above Midd.etown. thus reaching dis
tance of thirty-fve miles. We are informed that
the ditch might be made some ten miles shorter
by another route, but at greatly increased ex-
penditure.
We trust that this important work may be put
through speedily Its value to the county will
prove immense. Some idea Of the utility of
water companies may be formed from the fact
that the Mokelumne Hill Company supplies wa
ter for fourteen hundred and the South Fork
Crnal, in Ell Dorado, for over four thousand mi
ners-all of whom, but for these companies
would be compelled. like the miners of Shasta
to remain idle in the absence of the rains.

cut in two by ravine, discovering the fact that
it is OF immense size. None of the coal. except
that from exposed portions of the vein, has as
yet been tested. Hence we are not prepared at
present to express an opinion as to its quality
The vein is thought to be between four and six
feet deep, by twenty five and thirty wide.

We think the gentlemen voting aye on the
passage of this bill made very great mistake.
We must contend that they have no moral or
legal right to set aside for each member 81 900
which is not yet due them. We know of no
reason why members of the Legislature should
be preferred over mechanics to whom the State
is indebted for labor, to Judges to whom the
State is indebted for services already rendered. or
to any other creditor. 1t strikes us as most rea-
sonable and most fair, that the oldett creditors,
if any, should have the preference and not those
to whom the State has yet to become indebted.
