THAT'S Right.

This is the involuntary declaration

and equality, and now reap the rich re-

stitutions and paid labor. We com
mend the picture to our Southern
brethren. We ask them to contrast
the dull, inactive, liieless appearance
Of any farming locality at the South,
with like extent at the North. In
the onc-tor example, in Maryland or
Nirginia-you will travel hundreds of
miles without a public highway, over
large plantations, where fifty men can
scarcely be made to do the work of
ten, and where all is dilapidation and
decay. In the other, half a score of
thrifty independent owners, with their
families, cultivate the soil in an equal
space of territory, and contribute their
share towards the common veal. These
considerations should and would weigh
with Southern minds. leading them to
initiate free labor, and abandon slavery
as a matter of interest, as well as pat
riotism and justice were they treated
as members Of the same family-bound
together in a common brotherhood,
and as entitled to that consideration
which the delicacy Of their position,

The Voice of Autumn.


BYc. w. BRYANT.
There comes, from yonder height,
A soft rcpining sound,
Where forest leaves are bright,
And fall like flakes Of light
To the ground.
1t is the autumn breeze,
That, lightly floating on,
Just skins the wccdy lcas,
Just stirs the glowing trees,
And is gone.
He moans by scdgy brook,
And visits, with sigh,
The last pale flowers that look,
From out their sunny nook,
At the sky.
Ger shouting children flies
That light October wind
And, kissing checks and eyes,
He leaves their merry cries
Far behind
And wandcrs on to make
That soft uneasy sound
By distant wood and lake,
Where distant fountains break
From the ground,
No bower where maidcnS dwell

they will fhd all who were elected as
democrats ready to unite with them IN
the selection of democratic candidate
for Z. s. Senator. But all their denun-
Citations, cajolery and fattery, will not
induce those democrats who have been
instructed to oppose Dr. Gwin, to eau
Gus away their duty to their constituents.
We rejoice to see that there are even a
few democratic members of the legisla-
ture, who dare disregard the mandates
issuing from that sink of political COR
ruption, San Francisco, and remain firm
in the discharge of their duty to thell
constituents. The dictatorial faction
of San Francisco will gain nothing by
postponement of the election, however
freely they may squander their money
to defeat the democracy Of the mountain
counties, and secure the election ot

REDEMPTION OF STATE BoNps.-From
the State Journal we learn that the
State Treasurer has forwarded to New
Y ork, one hundred and ten thousand
three hundred dollars, for the rcdemp-
tion of the principal and interest of the
bonds due in March next The prompt
manner in which the principal and inter
est of the funded debt of the State is
being met as it falls due, cannot but
add to the value of all our securities held
by eastern capitalists. The balance o.
the bonds issued under the Act of 1851
amounting to about S101 900, will moi
fall due until the of March 1851

CHINESE IN SHASTA CoUNTY.-In an
other column will be found the proceed
ings ofa miners meeting, held in Shas-
Ia, at which they resolved to prohibit the
Cinnamon from working in the mines of
that county after the 25th February
next. The emigration of the miserable
devils TO this State is certainly 10 be re-
GREETED, but the policy of prohibiting
them from working the mines as pro-
posed by the miners of Shasta, in order
to drive them from the Stat, is not one
likely to be regarded with general favor
One very important argument aginst the
course adopted by the resolutions of the
Shasta Convention, and which they
seemed to have overlooked, is its Illegal
ity. Statutory provisions provides that
they shall be entitled to work the mines
after the payment of the required tax ,
and there is not another class OF For
eigners in the State, from whom an
equal amount of revenue has been de-
rived. either proptionably or in the ag
gregate. The amount derived from this
source in this county, has been consit-
cradle during the past year-the Sheriff
lately paying into the Treasury $4,000.
Should the Legislature see 6t to follow
the suggestions confined in the Gov
ernor's message upon this subject, and
raise the tax sufficiently high TO exclude
them. they wonld do a very just, and
in our estimation a very popular thing.
As the law now stands, the miners Of
Shasta county are arrayed against it,
and cannot but came cut second best in
the conflict.

DULL Trnrs.-However much people

Dull TIMEs.-However much people
may disagree about politics, in this Vi
cinity, they all unite in complaining OF
the dull times. The cry for rain goes up
from every gulch and hill, from valley
and mountain. The times are rendered
still harder by those who have claims in
dry diggings, sitting down and waiting
for the rains, instead of seeking claims
elsewhere until the rains have set in.
The rivers are low, and must afford ma
nv chances for miners to insert wing
dams, or to pitch into the banks, and by
taking out small amounts, ease off the
general pressure now caused by the want
Of customary rains. The season is now
so far advanced that but little benefit
may be expe cted from the rains in any
event, and we hope it will have ten
dency to give fresh impetus to the differ
ent water companies now formed and
forming, for the purpose of conveying
water into the various dry diggings. Ex-
perience has proved the uncertainty OF
relying upon the wet season to work
many of The richest claims in this Vi
cinity. If present dull times have the
effect of awakening our citizens to the
importance of sustaining the companies
now endeavoring to bring water upon
the pIacers surrounding us, and cause
them to assist in the undertaking, Butte
County will never again be visited by
the dullncss which has rendered memoir
able the winters Of 1850 and 30
There is no other way to open the rich
placers around us, deyelope the resources
of the comfy, and relieve US from the
discouraging hard times which have
come upon u.s.
BY reference to another column, it
will be sceen that the "Wyandott and
Feather River Water Company" are
prepared to proceed with their work.
All know and feel the Importance of this
work, and it only remains for those IN
tcrested to come forward and lid in prose
cutting the work to speedy completion
The Company have meeting at this
place on the goth of February for the
election of officers for the ensuing year,
when we presume an opportunity will
be given for all those who wish to invest
in the enterprise, to do so, and keep
hard times at distance for the future
Come and try it.
