DEATH OF DIR. KEENE.-At meeting Of. the San
Francisco County Medico-C -Chirurgical Association
18th Sept, 1856, the President DR.. e. S. Cooper
offered the following resolutions, which were unani-
mously adopted
Whereas, 1t hath pleased the Almighty Disposer
of human events to take from the ranks OF our pro
lcsson and from the people of our State by an early
death, Hon. Dr. B. +. Keene, Of El Dorado Presi-
dent of the California State Medical Society, there
fore
Resolved That we have just cause to regret deeply
the loss of SO worthy member Of the profession and
so valuable citizen of the State
Resolued, That the family and immediate friends
have our sincere coincidence for the worthy dead
Rcsolued, That copy of these resolutions be sent
to the family of DR.. Keene in Alabama to the news
papers in El Dorado county, to the California 1edi-
cal Journal, and also to our own city papers.
Dr. Cooper then remarked, that "thc virtues of the
deceased were too well known to require comment.
Most of the members were very familiar with the life
OF usefulness and distinction led by DR.. Keene,
"Let US entertain the hope that his transition has
been to a happier and more exalted sphere Most of
US believe in Heaven and the Immortality of the SOUL
though we seldom speak Of it, and it is doubtless a
subject Of frequent reflection when alone and taking
retrospective view Of the virtues Of our departed

CAPITAL in California.

To the earnest and thoughtful, we would
address few words on the Investment OF
capital in California for, whatever advanc-
es or hinders, the progress of our prosperity,
invites our anxiety, and demands our con-
sideration. No man pretends to deny the
varied and vast resources of our mineral or
agricultural wealth which, if properly de-
veloped, woRId by its productiyencss aston
ish the world Every mountain and every
valley every guch and every river every
fiat and every hill, but scarcely touched, tell
of what remains The little already obtain
ed but indicates the vastness Of the store un-
touched-and yet the few fractions produced
have been developed more by chance than
system. What, then, let us ask, can be the
reason that, comparatively, all kinds of bus
mess are not more prosperous, and money
more plentiful among us ? In State of so
much wealth. why are many poor, and re-
main poor so long Let us go into the
mining districts-for there is the index to
our prosperity or our adyersity--as we pre-
sume that none will deny that the hope of
California is mainly in her mineral wealth.

Letter from Yreka.

YREKA, Cal. Sept. 10, 1856.
Eds. Journal Although we are, as it were, an
isolated people, occupying remote corner of Gre
alton, and forming little world of our own, we
think that you Of the more favored portion of the
State. might personally, if not for the benefit of
your readers. like to know something of what is
transpirng in our midst and have taken the task
upon us to write you short sketch.
Well to begin. Times are about as dull as cv-
er known in this region, and fair prospect of re-
naming so until we have a larger supply of the
dissolving element than the great Yrcka Ditch
now affords. Yet considering the many natural
disadvantages, as well as artificial causes the said
Ditch has done remarkably wen to furnish even
the present amount of water viz about eight or
ten original slu.ccheads which by industry and
economy in its use has been made to produce a
great deal Of good, and gives employment to ma
ny men who would otherwise be compelled to
leave these diggins' in order to make grub. The
present cool nights are causing it to increase
however, and will in a few weeks be felt perccp-
tably.
Politics is engaging the attention of the masses
at present and ALL from the noisy bar-room and
street politician to the sapent solon's of our com
munity, seem bent on saving the Union, each in
his own way. All three of the parties seem san
guine with regard to the success of their own can
didates. The Democracy held their Convention
two weeks ago, and after several bosterous pcals
of political thunder, and the usual amount of soft
/ soap with regard to the mackercl heads and fish
mouths who were also in attendance, in order to
rescue the Union They nominated their candi-
dates. The American Party have also met in
Convention and chosen their candidates for Coun-
ty officers and appointed delegates to the State
Convention. The Fremont party held caucus
on the evening of the sixth inst. preliminary to a
County Convention. Not being present cannot
say how harmonious it passed off, but am Informed
that it was satisfactory 1t is said that there are
several candidates in the field for nomination for
the Representative of Siskiyou, among whom are
b. Franklin, (colorcd) Nathan, the Barber. and
Old George, the Barber. Also. white man from
Scott River, but as there is an objection to his
color, amongst the Republicans, and there being
three of the other darker shade, who are willing
to serve their country, he will meet but little
favor at their hands, perhaps a complimentary
vote.
Frank, is considered being rather arrist0.
cratic in his bearing towards his fellow citizens in
general, and will stand but poor show, Nathan
would suit them, were he not so ultra Southern
in his sentiments that they are afraid he is not
sound on the main question. having resided for Q
