word Respsetlng the MINES.


The mast season has been severe one on
all persons dependent upon the product OF
tbe mines. Iu consequence of d lack of the
usual supply of water by way of rains and
SHOWS. all classes have suffered accordingly,
and as u natural result, many persons are
now loudly crying ont against the hardships
aud nlisfortunes of the miners. Did such
persons stop here, we would be content, but
unfortunately, they, blinded by their own
mislortunes, are heaping up their maledic-
TORS against the mines and also against the
country geaerally-giving it as their ex-
periepced conviction that California is q
hard country t. live in. and that mining Is
an |up hill' and improbable business
Now with skeptics of this class We most re-
specially beg leave to differ. First, be-
cause California has proven herself wealthy
beyond al calculation; secondly, because
there arc occasionly dry and comparatively
improbable seasons for mining, and there
cannot be just conclusion drawn that the
mines are Improbable; aud thirdly, because
if men do sometimes loose in one enterprise
all they have made in the one previous, this
does not furnish good and sufficient reasons
for condemnng the mines. The truth Is,
in the aggregate they are immensely profit
able, and with proper improvements, such
as are now IN progres5 throughout the coun-
try, the miners need never have cause to Of
fer complaints against the chances of the
mines, for these are generally in his favor,
if he will but industriously and economical,
ly acork. It IS true they have their misfor-
tunes a. well az their good luck, as they
call it, hut take the industrious and sober
class Of them as q people, and We defy the
world to produce men worth more than they
are, according to the time they lave been
laboring, and the capital they had to COM
mence those labors with,
1t IS charged upon the mountain papers
that they misrepresent the true condition
of the mines, by giving currency to falla-
cious statements. This is untrue. To be
sure, none but the strikes Of the fortunate
are given. and in some instances, no doubt,
certain localities are over-estimated and
from week to week, lAuded to the skies,
while but little or nothing Is said respect
inr those who are toiling daily and obtain
ing scarcely a livelihood. We will admit
that there are hundreds Of tie latter class,
but as long as they can eat, let them work !
II they do this, past experience shows that
in the end they will come ont with their la
bors crowned with success.

THE CRors.--The late rains have not
only been beneficial to the mining interests,
hut have clothed the mountains with q
beautiful mantle Of verdure. lii all Of the
numerous farms here and there dotting aud

region, crops Of ali kinds are springing forth
luxuriantly, bidding fair to yield to the
hardy husbandman a rich harvest. 1t was

Us, would destroy the peach crop, hut We
are gratifed to state it has not been very
materially injured.

CLosING UP-Among the eomnlunica-
tions sent in by the Governor last night
were several veto messages, which were all
sustained by the Assembly. In addition to
the bills vetoed, We hear that some dozen or
more bills were sent to the Governor which
he did not return-for, we doubt not, good
and sufficient reasons. BY his vetoes Gov
ernor Johnson has saved the people of the
State tens of Thousands Of dollars during the
session.
The sum saved by his yetoes, directly, i,
small, compared to the saving made by his
avowed opinions in reference to special leg
islation and special appropriations. The
Governor has been generally right during
the session; he has labored faithfully to dis
charge his responsible duties, and the peo-
pie will not forget him. Ills opponents
have been forced to commend his course
generally as Governor.

LECTURES OF DR.. BAIRD.-This gen.
tleman is now entertaining the citi-
zens of Winchester with a course of
Lectures on Europe. lie has spent
the most part of twenty-five years in
that country, studying its various in
situations, governments, religions, GUS
toms, manners, &C., and his knowl-
edge on these subjects seems to be
complete. In his lectures he handles
them with a familiarity most surpris-
ing to any one. Unlike foreigners in
q strange land, who hardly ever learn
much Of their adopted country, even
after a residence for life, the DR.. has
made Europe his study for this long
time, cultivating an intimacy with
crowned heads and learned men of
every country belonging to that i'm
portant quarter of the globe. His lee
lures are indeed multum in paruo. TO
say that the DR.. knows Europe like a
book" would not do him justice, for
no books ever published treat with
such familiarity all matters Of interest
concerning that country. His style is
chaste, plain and conversational, suit
ed to the capacity of children as well
as agreeable to all. Every person
should hear him, for such an opportu-
nifty will never perhaps be offered to
our citizens and upon such cheap
terms.
