MINING AT WALLoUPA.--We learn that
great preparations have been made at the
above place for successful mining season.
AT Browns, and Squirrel h i'll the miners are
doing well, and are being amply paid for their
labors,
Messrs. West, Neice & Co., have finished
their ditch extending from Steep Hollow to
within half mile of Waloupa, a distance of
eight miles. This ditch has been put through
the past season and is an undertaking Of no
or dinary kind-embracing scope of country
that no doubt will be found rich, now that
water can easily be obtained.
Walloupa has improved rapidly the past six
months. Many handsome buildings have been
erected, and among the number good hotel.
by L. & M. McAuley, which s an ornament
to the place.

s@- A tunnel and submarine railway
between France and England has been
decided by competent engineers to be
quite feasible. The tunnel will be TWENTY
one miles long, including a mile and a
half on either side in order to give the
necessary gradual descent to and from the
surface of the earth. At no point will
the tunnel be within thirty yards
from the bottom of the channel, and con-
sequently no danger of leakage will be

A Good Omen.

The people of California have been
eminentlya practical people. Like the
inhabitants of all new States, we have
felt that the urgent call upon us has been
rather for the energies of strong arms and
ready practical intelligence than for the
mere refinement of intellectual culture
We have dug bitches, and tunnelled
mountains, and have msstly left behind
US in the homes from which we came that
knowledge which is not Immediately con-
vertible to use. Heretofore this has been
necessary, and as it should have been. A
people who in seven years have changed
an uninhabited waste into fourishing
empire, could not afford to indulge them
selves meanwhile in the mere luxuries of
literature and art
To develop the resources of the coun-
try, to open the stores of mineral deposits
which lay concealed beneath our hills, to
clear and till the soil of onr valleys, so
that we might be Independent of all the
world for the bread of life, called only
for physical energy, good sense and in
domitable will. All the world will bear
us witness that in these qualities we have
never been found wanting.
But it is a happy era in the history of
State, when the reign of brute force
ceases, and when the commonwealth be-
gins to pass from the age of iron into the
age of gold-befere luxury has degene-
rated into effeminacy, and COED taste into
a morbid love of novelty.
We see signs which lead us to believe
that such day is dawning upon Califsr-
MIA. Straws show how the wind blows.
The formation of lyceums and young
mems associations in the cities, the estab-
ishment of courses of lectures, and the
encouragement and patronage which they
are receiving, are omens of a change in
public sentiment from which we draw an
augury of good. 1t is well for people
when the necessity for for constant labor
has so diminished that its attention NAV
be turned somewhat to the amenities of
life, to the acquisition of other than ne
cessary knowledge, to science and the
arts. 1t is true that lyceums and lectures
do not call fer the highest order of intel
lectual effort. But the fact that discus
sions and addresses upon literary and
general topics are received by eur citizens
with favor, amounts to what we claim fer
1T, an evidence of growing taste for lite
rature and science.
We hope this favor will increase. We
believe a genuine and healthy literature
is not merely an ornament to State, but
an instrument of its prosperity. We
wish that California should stand side bv
side with sister States in all that relates
to cultivation and refinement, as she now
leads them in all that relates to enerov
and enterprise.

RICH Quartz LEAD.-We have recent
ccounts from the Copper Hill Quartz
Lead near German Bar, which state that
the quartz recently taken out is as rich as
formerly. The Copper Hill Co. IS claims,
four in number, are leased to company
who work them at the halves; and it is
said the lessees and the proprietors have
all made fortunes within the past year.
What is little singular is, all this gold
has been separated from the quartz in q
small mortar. The fortunate proprietors
of these claims are. Messrs. Warner, Eel
lows, Corbett and Mead, who reside at
Snow Point in this county Other COM
panies have located claims on this quartz
lead, and the company whose claims join
those of the Copper Hill Co. are now at
work opening them up.

Now We enter our solemn protest against
the use Of such Latin as the above. and
that too in high places. If our judges
and writers will insist on speaking in
tongues unknown to nine-tenths of the
people of the State, at least, ought not
the language they uso to convey some
meaning to the remaining tenth' We
have quoted the sentences we have piyen
word for word, and school-boy would be
whipt for mingling genders and cases so
absurdly. Now we do not object TO the
use Of Latin we rather like lit looks
wise; and if, as some one said, words are
only useful to conceal thoughts, it is ad-
mirably adapted for that purpose. But
we arc certain no thought turks concealed
beneath such expressions as these. We
humbly submit that if We must have Latin
we are entitled of right to good Latin.
To abuse ones mother tongue is bad
enough. But it lives and can vindicate
itself. To misuse dead language so
shamefully, argues too little respect for
the memory Of the departed

LEGIsLATIvE.-The seventh session of
theLegislature dfsheState has commenced
at Sacramento. "A party which has been
placed in power by the fiat ola people
whose rights and delegated powers have
been outraged by their represen tatives
in the Legislature, is expected to stop the
food gates of profigate expenditure of
the pcophs money. inaugurate the reign
of retrehchment and reform, redeem the
sinking credit of the State, provide ways
and means for an extinguishment of her
debt, aH& by setting an example of NOR
ality, sobriety and upright action, elevate
the asacter of California Legislators to
the Standard of the other States Of the
!.piapu1apd by SO doing, offering the best
possible incentive to immigration. Will the
expectations of the people be realized ,
WaLa proper sense OF the obligations and
responsibilities resting upon our represen-
tatives, be ever present with them influ-
sheing their action, and urging them on
ward in the performance of the good but
onerous work they have been set to do /,
Or will four months be frittered away in
tae accomplishment of nothing, but the
passage of conflicting laws, making our
Eeady uninteligible statutes in estate
of confusion worse confounded?'' Will
amonths be spent in the fruitless attempt to
elect United States Senator, and at last
leaving that question to hang like an in
cubus upon an entire session, to the det-
rlment OF some of the most important in
,terests of the State And is there suffi-
cisnt far seeing sagacity in the leaders of
the new party, to steer clear the obsta-
cles that present themselves to stay us in
our course' These are questions that
the people ask themselves, and look with
intense anxiety to the Legislature now in
session at atSacramento for their solution
EVERYTHING depends upon its action. A
judlcious amendatisn of some important
laws, and quick return of the represen-
tatives to their constituencies will be the
most popular move, our Legislature can
make. twill cement the American par
ty together, and wed it to the hearts of
the people.

PACIFIC M. S. S. Cove notice by the
last New York Herald that the arrangement
made between the rival steamship companies,
has been terminated, and the Pacific Mail
steamship company intend hereafter to take
course independent of the other. We are
pleased with this determination for several
reasons. Passengers are carried over the
routes at more reasonable prices, the compa.
nies are more careful in their accommodations
to passengers, and the two lines stand more on
their individual merits. So far as safety, speed
and health are concerned, the Panama line is
decidedly superior. Owing to the present dis.
patch on the Isthmus by railroad, few of the
daily accidents that have been almost insepera-
Bile from land travel at Panama and Nicaragua,
are to be encountered. The passenger lands
at Panama, and the next day, or two at far
thest, is steaming up on the Atlantic side. All
the dlscomforts and exposure of river travel
mule navigation, night malaria, &c, are now
avoided. The Panama railroad is one of the
greatest achievements of this era of enterprise.
Although thousands of lives were sacrificed in
its construction, and imm ense sums of money
expended, yet the facilities it affords for rapid
transit doubtless saves thousands from con-
tracing the deadly fevers Of Isthmus travel,
while its revenue must pay handsome per
centage on the great investment. Without
this great agent for overcoming the difficulties
of the Isthmus, the Panama company, notwith>
standing its splendid boats, skilled officers, and
rapid passages, would have little advantage of
is rival. 1t is true the mishaps caused by
Walkers expedition, the killing of scores of
unofending and unarmed passengers, including
women and children, in cold blood, have cast
a deep shade over the other route, and to this
may partly be ascribed the superior popularity
of the Panama route, When the comfort,
health and lives of SO many are involved, as is
the case in the immense tide of human travel,
between the Atlantic and the Pacific, it is most
important that adequate safeguards be placed
around those who are thus compelled to trust
themselves to the care of others, under circum.
stances Of comparative helplessness.
The Panama steamship company have had
a long career of popularity, well earned by
safe steamers and excellent commanders, and
their route is now unquestionably the health
lest and most pleasant From having sew
eral times made the trip over this route, we
speak confidently in the matter, and recon-
mend those of our readers, who design visiting
the States, or sending for their families, to.
make trial of it,

FARMING IN THE MeuNTAINs.-Mr. T.
S. Fem, at his ranch in Eureka township
in this county (about two and half 80
from the village of Washington) has fallUd
the past season 100000 pounds of pota-
toes He has now over twenty mules
employed in packing them to the various
mining settlements in the vicinity ~
they sell readily at ten cents per pound.
In quality they are said to be decidedly
superior to those brought up from the
valley. Besides potatoes, Mr.. Fem has
raised and sold enough of otheswegeta-
bles to pay all expenses of carrying on
his ranch. His profits for tbanpast year
will exceed $25,OOO An efgent mer-
chant who resides in the uppss part of
this county informs US that the potatoes
grown in the mountains, where the SHOWS
lie, as in Eureka, several Months in the
year, are far more hardy, and less subject
to decay, than those raised m the valleys
below. The hills of the Sierra Nevada
may yet become as famous as the Green
Mountains of Vermont, for the produc-
tion of this staple esculent.
