To the Point.

A correspondent of the Sierra Democrat
asks the editor to define his position upon
the question Of clectng Mr.. Broderick L.
). Senator. The Dem0crm answers that it
is willing to elect good reliable men to the
Legislature, and then leave the election Of
Senator in their hands. In commenting
upon the reply of the Democrat the Sierra
Citizen, among other things, says:
'Here understand us distinctly; it is not
our purpose to interfere between the Demo
cratic or Know Nothing parties, or to lend
one or the other the little support one may
be able to give; but We oppose the election
Of Broderiek and all such scheming poll
ticians an general prinoples-that which in
terestS all men, irrespective of party; and
so sure as he is foisted upon the people
again, the party will be defeated beyond re-
demptiOn."
We write ditto under the above, and as
sure all whom it may concern that we shall
"oppose the election Of Broderick and all
such scheming politicians on general pr,nci-
pies" and such, we believe, will be the de
termination of the people.-Sac Uacon.
We heartily subscribe to the above, and
shall oppose any candidate for the Lcgisla.
ture that is not known to be opposed to the
election of Mr. Broderick "on general prin.
ciples."

South Fork Natural Bridge and Cave.

This natural curiosity on Hay Fork, about Is
miles south of this place is attracting consdcra-
bic attention. Several of our citizens visited it
during the present week, and describe the bridge
as being situated in a deep cafon, about one hun
dred feet in length and width, and about thirty
feet above the bed of the gulch at the entrance at
the lower end, forming perfect arch, while at
the upper end the height is about ten feet. The
entrance to a cave has been discovered near the
entrance to the bridge, and our informant and par
ty proceeded TO explore it to the depth of one
hundred feet or more The entrance is narrow
opening iu the rock just capable Of admitting a
man in an erect position. After passing short
distance through this narrow entrance the cavity
begins to grow wider and higher, until you find
yourself in a spacious ball about forty feet in d-
ameter and arched over to a height of from ten
to twenty feet Numerous other openings present
themselves, having the appearance of leading in
to apartments situated further back but the en-
trance TO them being so small our friends concu-
ded that they had seen enough for one day, and
would leave the unexplorcd ground for future
research. Above the bridge the banks are crag-
gy, with q perpcndl cular formation OF more than
a hundred feet which renders the ascent at that
point impossible. An opening in the rock, on the
left bank as you approach the bridge, and about
thirty feet from the ground can also be seen. The
entrance appears to be about FIVE feet in diameter
and perfectly smooth, with every appearance
of having one day been the outlet of large body
of water. This opening cannot be reached with
out ladder, for want of which the party were
unable to penetrate it.
The caiion in which this natural curiosity is sit
uated is also noted for being the place where Sher
if Dixon and party in the spring of 1852, killed
a large party of Indians, who had taken the life
of Mr. Anderson, near this town, few days pre-
vious.
This bridge has received a notice before bu
not in connection with the cave, which was dis
covered during the past week for the first time
by the whites. The first little party that take
trip to the bridge, we will form a component par
of, and give our readers description of it from
actual observation.

Attempted Robbery.

We are informed by W. F. Rowe, Esq, of Rowe
& Co.'S Express, that Mr.. Brastow, messenger of
Rhodes & Whitney on the Yreka trail had stop
ped for the night at Gibbs Ferry on Tuesday
last During the night the cook heard a noise in
the house, as though some person was attempting
to break into Brastow's room. lie proceeded to
awake Mr.. Brastow, and in doing so was over
heard by the vi llians, who fed. Mr.. Brastow was
up in time to see them but not distinc tly enough
to mark them for future detection. The robbers
were four in number.
