Topics Of the Day.

The continued dry weather, al
though favorable to the miners in
tins immediate vicinity, is, doubtless
q serious misfortune to the majority
OF farmers and miners throughout the
state. Wherever diggings are sup
piled with water fIom bitches, the
drouth is rather beneficial than 9TH
crwise, the fact that the heavy rains
are liable to cause breaks in the
bitches and otherwise incommode the
miners. River mining particularly,
is facilitated by the absence of stor-
my weather. but as has been the
case for two or three seasons past,
the early rains of September and
October cause such q rise in the
mountain streams as to sweep away
fumes and dams, thus rendering the
subsequent dry weather unavailable
to most of those who are engaged in
this precarious species of mining.
On the other hand, q large proper
ton Of the mines throughout the
State are dry diggings, entirely de-
pendent upon the rains for a neces-
sary supply of water to work them,
and are so situated as to be unap-
proachablc by bitches or other arti-
fetal means for bringing it on the
ground. All sorts Of methods have
been tried to separate the gold from
the dirt, but have all proved failures,
and it is generally conceded that wa
ter is as useful and indispensable to
mining operations as it is to Steam
boats. Another such a winter as
the last that of '55 and '56) would
prove ruinous to many OF our noun
tain traders and miners, and to the
entire agricultural community thro'-
out the State. AS delightful as the
present weather is, we would willingly
exchange about a month of it for
rain storm of that length, and would
like to bargain for about two smart
showers q week for the next six
months.

hunters, they arc devoting their at

do so. But his real friends should
not subject him to the modification

A SET.To between two sons of the Emer-

Downer Street, just opposite the P. O. We
did not learn the origin of the difficulty, but
we did see the fight, and short and
sweet affair it was. The combatants "haul-
ed oft their coats and rolled up their
sleeves" and one of them found it hard
road to travep-to victory, for after receiv-
ing two or three "sockdolagers" in the
mug, he roared Justify that he was satisfied,
but he made mis- statemens, for as soon as
he was on his legs again, he commenced
abusing his opponent and declaring that he
hadn't had fair play, and said opponent,
seemingly desirous to settle the matter sat
isfactorily to all parties, pitched into him
again, and administered the finishing
strokes admirably. The vanquished was
the challenging party.

meddling opposition press in the
southern portion of the State, ''hands
of"' The Democracy can make
their own selections, without the
promptings of papers like the Post
Alta. They had better turn their
attention to the selection of one Sen

the democracy of the northern portion
of the State.
The Alta mentions the names of
Messrs. Latham and Washington,
and Messrs. Gwin and Weller, and
Col. Henly. These gentlemen are
all good and able Democrats, who
have rendered important service to
the party during the late canvass, as
well as in former ones, but year or
so residence in Sacramento, does not,
in our estimation, entitle them to be
considered permanent residents of
the northern district. Should the
agitation of this question continue
for year or so more, we are fearful
that the southern portion of the state
would not contain talent sufficient
to form one Senator, and both would
have to be chosen from the north.-
We are confident that the Legislature
