affairs in Santa Cruz County
"Good horses have here been known to

FATAL AcciDENT.-On Saturday an
accident happened to the iowa Hill stage
at the lower crossing Of Bear River, which
resulted in the drowning of passenger
named John Campbell. The stream was
much swollen by the recent rains, and in
attempting to ford it when half way across,
the coach separated, the hinder part sweep
ing down with the current took the victim
with it. There were two other passengers
in the stage at the time both of whom es-

Made seven years since adjusting the
boundaries between Oregon and the Hud-
SON Bay Company FIVE years were allowed
the Company to settle up their affairs and
leave the Territories. Gov. Stevens gave
the notice last year that the time had ex-
pired, and ordered them to return forth
with to their own possessions. When
they could not longer remain, they made
preparations for departure, at tthe same
time threatning the people Of Oregon with
vengeance for driving them out of the
Territories. The Indians, soon after this
threat, were noticed sending messengers
to aud from their several tribes, and also
spoke reproachfully of the Americans, and
commendatory of Englishmen. Shortly
afterwards the Indians began killing and
robbing Americans, but in no instance an
Englishman. Such is the substance Of
the argument in the Nail

TIE RIGHT SPIRIT Below we give an ex.
tract from the leader of the Evening News Of
Monday. There is the ring Of the genuine
metal about it. Speaking of the demand made
In certain quarters that the Senator to be elec-
ted by the coming Legislature, should be man
whose former principles were Democratic, the
following protest is made against it =:
"We, ourselves, are Democrats, and had the
honor for many years to work as humble mem.
bers, in the ranks of that once plorious ola
party. As long as there were any measures
advocated by Wings inconsistent with the
truths OF Democracy, We were willing to com
bat them. But all the old issues have been
long dead. The party named Democrats, have
basely betrayed in this state, through their lea.
ders, the principles of Jefferson, Of jackson,
and Of Calhoun. We, in common with thous.
ands Of others whom we once worked with in
the Democratic ranks refused any longer to
carry on vain warfare against merely the
NAME OF Wing, while having for its object only
the emolument of corrupt men, whose only
claim to our support was that they CALLED
THEMSELVES Democrats, in forming o new par
ty, we all agreed to let the past dead bury its
dead. We went in, each upon his own pres
ent merits, and with the understanding that
rewards, If any should fall to us, would be
awarded for services to the new party, and not
for past deeds in the Democratic or Wing par,
ties. Up to the present, such has been the
case. johnson, and Douglas and Rhodes
all, have earned position in the new party, be-
cause of their services in its ranks. Their
Whiggery did not either render them more or
less fit for their offices.
We repeat that we protest against any dis.
tinctions being set up-against classification
of the members of the American party into
Wings, Democrats, Northern or Southern men.
The day that we allow the question as to who
shall be Senator to be decided upon the ground
that this or that candidate used to be whig,
or democrat, that day the knell of the party
is sounded. Having formerly belonged to the
Democratic party, We particularly raise our
voice against any such suicidal policy. In the
ranks of the party to which we belong,we wish
to stand as the equals Of any man--and not as
belonging to class who are in the MINORITY
We wish no distinctions and no party can
exist, split up within itself into classes and
castes.

The WEATHER California has re-
versed the meaning Of terms. In old
fashioned language, the weather during
the last few days, has been unpropitious,
but according to the vernacular of miners
directly the opposite.
The surcharged clouds have given down
their liquid store in no stingy manner, and
the knig hts of the pick and shovel no lon
ger look with "mad inquistude upon the
dull sky" which has long owed them rain
but refused payment till the last day Of
grace. The heavy instalment, rendered
of late, seems to have come with not the
most amiable temper, perhaps on account
of fears entertained that the weather-eod
might repudiate, a suspicion upon the
honor of the old fellow which he might
we'll resent. While we are writing, the
rain is coming down with rengeance.-
Give 'em fits, old fellow, ws're inside.

JOSH. Su.sBEE.-Poor Josh. Silsbee is dead!
Ten thousand persons, ay, many more, will
feel sad when they read this announcement, as
does the writer while penning it. How many
who have laughed at his queer represen tations,
who have gone to see his presentations sad and
melancholy, but whose hearts have been light
er as they went away, will join in the regret,
and breathe sigh as they think that he will
come to the foot-iights no morel His stories
are all told, his limitations jail done. The
|laugh-provoking comedian, the quiet, social,
pleasant companion is dust, as we all shall be.
The curtain is down; in this world the bell
will ring it up no more. There are no more

He died on Saturday morning last, and yester.
day. Sunday the Masonic brotherhood laid
him in his grave.
Death has been busy in the ranks to which
be peculiarly belonged. Yankee Hill, Dan.
Marble, Charley Burke, Josh. Silsbee, have all
left the stage forever. They have strutted
their brief hour upon the stage-their songs
their jokes, their oddities, are but an echo in
the halls of memory. There are no more quaint
dresses for them-they have all assumed the
last simple robei to which the wearer Of both
sock and buskin of those who tread the stage
of life, must come at last.
Who shall say they have not done good in
the world? They have stolen many an hour ol
sorrow from the downhearted, have given
many an hour of pleasure to those who else
would no. have known it. They have extrac-
ted the sting from discomfort, have infused
healthful life into the hearts ofthe desponding.
There is a time to laugh, and they have taught
thousands when that hour should be- A good
laugh is good medicine. Who have admins
tered more Of it than these whom we have
mentioned? Their delineations had nothing
of malice about them. They held the glass to
nature, and she laughed at her own manufac.
lures. They taught lessons in pun, uttered
sermons in jest, nourished good taste by ex.
hibiting its opposite, and showed US how great
goodness might exist under the most ungainly
outside. Not approving all which they did as
artists, certainly nothing which savored Of vul.
garity, yet we may credit them with much
which has lessened the load of evil on the
spirits Of men, and made them lighter hearted
ont the morrow. We shall laugh at their
quips no more, nor learn to think more kindly

WALKER.-The following extract of o
letter from Nicaragua, which we copy
from the State Journal shows how strong.
ly the great Liberator is embalmed in the
hearts of a grateful and afectionate peo-
pie whose CALLING chains he has hereically
dared to break. "The masses" do no,
seem to appreciate the blessings of liber-
ty SO generously offered them by the i'm
mense NoSth American Lafayette, but
poor fools! they are so debased that they
are inclined to use "treachery and poison
to rid themselves of one who came to ben.
eft and bless. ''He who spake as never
man spake" was cruci6ed BY the very peo
pie he came to save.
"Walker has the country now, but he
must have sufficient force to sustain peace
against intestine movements, and be able
to defend himself against the other Cen.
trail American States. None of them i.
able to sustain long war, nor can they
put formidable force in the field; but
the masses, treacherv and poison can ca
silly subdue his present force. Without q
force of 1000 American rifemen the whole
OF Central America is lost"

IA- Since our last issue the Anniversa-

Christmas, have been celebrated. The
first was not observed in this vicinity 30
far as we know, but the latter was hilari-
ously enjoyed, by all ages, classes and
compilations. It seemed as if all the
world had been granted unlimited indul;;
gence for twenty four hours of fun and
merriment. Glad urchins were around at
an early hour, wishing "Msrry Christ
mas" to their friends and receiving holi-
day gifts in return for merry greetings

express his firm determination, while walk
ing 1Asntinel in every street in town, that
he wouldn't 60 home till morning, and well
he adhered to his resolution. Some fell
like brave soldiers at their duty, but 9th
ers made the small hours of the morning
vocal with the announcement that their
determination was still unchanged.
