rhs Attachment Law.

Most of the papers are agitating the qnes-
tion of repeating or modifying the attach
ment law and it is probable that some action
will be taken thereon by the coming Legis-
lature. Our object in this brief article is
not to discuss the propriety of repeal or re-
vision, but simply to caution legislators that
whatever action may be taken, it should be
deliberately considered and fully matured.-
That the mode of collecting debts in Califor-
MIA is summary, there can be no denial; that
the attachment law is severe, and that it in
some instances at least works oppression, is
equally true; yet the Legislature should be
careful not to jump to another extreme, and
by so doing invite parties to contract debts
which they never expect to pay. 1t were
better to at once abolish all laws for the col
lection of debts.
In California, the population is migratory
a majority of our people may any day when
the notion takes them pick up their all and
leave for other parts. 1t follows that without
an attachment law of some kind, and in the
absence of law providing for chattle mort
cages, credit would be absolutely denied to a
decided majority of our citizens If the at
tachment law is repealed, or the rigor of its
provisions very materially ameliorated, an act
should be passed making it prima facie evi-
dence of fraud upon his creditors for a man
to dispose of his property after the com
mencement of suit; and we are inclined to
think that in any event chattle mortgages
should be provided for. The honest man
could then provide himself against oppross-
ion from his creditor and the attachment law
remain as a protection against those who
would forever avoid the payment of their
honest debts

Mining Prospects.

The preparations for mining, in the region
of Volcano, tha have been made during the
dry season, are of a character and extent
that would astonish stranger in these parts.
1t has long been known that we have as rich
diggins as can be boasted Of in the State
dggins that have not been extensively worked
for the want of water This want has been
the drawback; but prospect of much bet
ter supply the coming winter, spring and
summer, has induced holders of claims to
prepare the same for working; and with the
prospect we have for water, the heart is
cheered to behold the hydraulics. .sluice cuts,
drains, tail-races &c, thai are in readiness.
Walk up Indian Ga6b, and see thc prep
aratons that have been made to work claims
that are known to be almost fabulousy rich
Visit Union Flat, and see what has been
done there. Go to China Gulcb, and China
HILL and behold the evidences of enterprise
and confidence in the richness of the dggns,
been done Stop at Mahaa Flat, where gold
is taken out almost by the painful. Take
these places as specimens of the Volcano
mines: then remember that as soon as the
weather moderates there will be plenty of
water for all of them, and You will not hes
itate to conclGde that the good time com
ing" is very close at hand.
Those who kno1o the Volcano mines, and
have not been so weak as to be led away
from them, will reap their reward; and as
many more enterprising men as are willing to
work, can be accommodated with dggings
that will yield them rich compensation.
Let no miner in the State excuse himself by
contonding tina. the diggings no longer pay
well Let no lazy customer hide behind SO
fimsy screen. If you are willing to work,
you can find plenty Of good diggings in and
about Volcano. You have but to come and
convince yourselves.

SUBSCRIPTION IN New \ IoRK FOR One Hun
DRIED CANNoNs FOR SARDINIA.-The Italians
in New York, as well as those who sympa-
thize with Sardinia in her present struggle
against Austria, says the State Journal, have
opened voluntary subscription for tie pur-
pose of contributing towards defraying the
expenses for one hundred cannons, to be pre-
sented to the Sandman people, for arming
the new fortress on the point of erection at
Alexander in Piedmont
1t will be recollccted that Sardinia is the
only free government in Italy; there is free
dom of the press-therc found shelter all the
political exiles of other Italian States. That
small State, although surrounded by despotic
powers, has taken the lead for emancpating
the whole Italian peninsula. AS Austria has
already advanced an army towards its from
tiers, Sardinia will soon be compelled to meet
the enemy in open field, and, from the result
of the struggle, will Italy rise from her polit-
cal and national grave, Or be doomed for ever

A BAD HnL.-Wc understand that the
road from the Bend in Volcano to Mr.. James
Else's house constitutes a road district, there
being no other county road in said district.
Who is the oyersecr, and why has not the
hill leading from Volcano been repaired?-
These are questions thathayc been frequently
asked, by others, and now we propound them
thus publicly. The whole length of road in
the district alluded to does not exceed a mile
and a half and two-thirGs Of that distance
is at this time almost impossible. Why is
this? There should be collected in that dis
trict at least 5000 of road tax, one third of
which, judciously expended, would have
placed the entire road in good condition for
the winter We repeat the question, who is
the oversecr? and would respectfully suggest
that be should either go to work ut once and
make that hill passable, or resign lis office.
A man can certainly be found who will at
tend to the duties of the position.
