Iowa Hill Correspondence.
Iowa HILL, February "a, I856'


Friend MitcheA.-How goes it? 1t strikes
me the times are getting somewhat interest
inc, in various ways and in numerous local.
ties. Our political horizon looms up in the
distance () in all the grandeur Of magnlli-
cence that has embellished it since the i'm
mortal Jefferson consolidated our impregna-
bic foundation. 1t is not surprising that we
should get somewhat patriotic once III whlIe
living as we d. and baskng in the sunshine
of the genial cline of " "Washington county,"
| must say word or two about the dl-
eme we are in, for it is certainl y very I'M
fortunate affair: Now, we have got great
many interests to look out for and great
many aspiring ambitious politicians to satisfy
before we can harmonic our new county.
The question naturally arises, how is this to
be done without sacrificing the public interest!
In the first place, Iowa Hill, all-important
in her own inauguration, says IN her heart,
give me the carcass and will bestow the
hide and tallow on Yankee Jim's, the horns
on Michigan Bluffs, and the tail on Wiscon-
sin Hill-and all will be satisfied, But this
will not do, each and all of these places claim
to have an equal share i'll the cause What
shall we do? We might divide the spolIs of
Office SO as to give general satisfaction, pro-
vided we could find suitable seat for the
new county headquarters--bu 'there's the
rub" TO show YOU how near we have come
to q division OF Placer county, | will say
that each and all Of the above named places
will vote for division if they can have the
new county line run in such a manner as to
have the centre of said county concentrate
at their own locality; to accomplish which,
beats the oldest man in the mountains. 10
see the strife of certain set of property
holders to get a county seat in their immedl-
ate vicinity, in order to enhance the value
of their "shake" houses, a person would
naturally suppose that Auburn was lively
little town.
In regard to our mines, Placer county
stands, in my opinion, pre-emnent in richness;
look at the discoveries and prospects at
Yankee Jim's, Michigan Bluffs, Wisconsin
Hill, Birds Flat, Grizz Y Flat, Sucker Flat
Reaches Hill, and last, Though not least in
my opinion) Dutch Flat, and say if any
other county in this State, or the world can
beat it-and if they can-throw in the
Small Hope company on Brushy Canon,
where the labor of six men, produced last
week, $4,7O0-and a new discovery at that
| believe there is channel three miles in
extent, running from Indiana Hill to Dutch
Flat, in which the 40 81 company have
made the first indenture with good prospects,
that will prove as rich, and more extensive
than any other hill or locality in this county,
in less than two years
In reference to politics, we have but one
party, to all appearances; our late great
"National' party seems to be enjoying an
undsturhed sjesta. The name of Buchanan
probably contains some narcotics.
Yours, sc.

According to the psalmist. 'wisdom shows

According to the psalmist "wisdom shows
narrow path, with here and there strag-
gler in,' and it has often occurred to us that
some Of the sagacious ones loose the trail
entirely. For instance, in the S. +. Chron-
icle, of the 25th ult, speaking of the current
democratic party, says:
"Gwin is understood to be in favor of the
denomination of Pierce, and of course all
who 90 for Pierce are understood to be in
favor of the Nebraska Bill, and opposed to
the prohibition by Congress of slavery in
any of the territories. Broderick is for Bu-
chanan, who is understood to be disposed to
turn "cold shoulder to the Nebraska Bill,
though he does not openly oppose it."
This certainly is startling intelligence to
the benighted democrats of the mountains.
Wen venture good beaver that Mr.. Gwin
is not for the denomination of PIERCE that
Buchanan is not disposed to "cold shoulder
the principle of the Nebraska bill-and we
know that the democracy of this county are
not chained to the car of either Messrs.
Gwin or Brodericb, but will act independents

How THE CoNFIRMATI0N oE Casinos
SEAT IN THE LEGISLATURE WAS RECEIVED
AT SAN LUIS OBIsPo.-Ihe correspondent
Of the Santa Barbara Gazette saws: The
news of the confirmation of Castro's scat in
the Legislature was received here with lust
indignation. Even the Caifornians them
selves were indignant that the Legislature
should confirm a man in lis seat who was
false to his country, false to his party, false
to all those who voted for him, and, worse
than all, false to his religion. A man that
ran here as a Democrat, got all his votes
here as Democrat and as an anti-squatter.
and who IN Sacramento Joined the sQuatter
anti-Democrat, t-Cathoic party. They
men who supported him here for the Legisi-
ature knew and acknowledged that he had no
right even to vote here, much less to sit in
the Legislature and represent us. But the
Legislature in its wisdom has declared Castro
the legal representative, and we, the parties
most concerned, have nothing to do but bide
our time till next year, and try and elect
good man in place Of the present Know
Nothing and do nothing in every sense of the
word.

E:y- Since the publication of our remark

E.g- Since the publication of our remarks
upon the mode of enforcing the collection of

which it is gratifying to observe. The Grand
Jury, in their report, recommend that civil
suits be resorted to instead of criminal and
the Court of Sessions, at its present term,
ruled that convictions were illegal unless
criminal intention was affirmatively shown
If we can become equally instrumental in
correcting other grievances under which the
people of the county groan, we shall be sat
isfied that we are fulfilling our mission as a
public journalist. Our criticisms are made
without any intent to wound the feelings or
injure the prospects of any individual, but
we must speak plainly in order to be useful.
