A BASE FRAUD SOMEWHERE.

We call the attention of all fair minded People
to the following disclosure of base political
trickery, on the part of some supporters of Mr..
Buchanan:
NoRRIsrowN, Pa, Sept 10, 1856.
TO the Editor Of the National Era:
have enclosed to you document received
by me, enclosed in my Era of this week, under
the frank of j. CLANCY Jones' NJ. G. Perhaps
you will be as much surprised as / was, to know
that the National Era has been made the
means of circulating documents, for the pur-
pose of defeating J. c.. Fremont, the next Pres.
ident of the United States. Please inform me
how this thing is done. know they are irving
to move heaven and earth to carry Pennsylpa.
MA, and will do anything to accomplish their
ends, but the handwriting is on the wall, and
they see it. Respectfully yours, &C.,

pa We notice that in q resolution passed
at Convention Of Garrison Abolitionists at the
West, it is said that DIR. Bailey had declared, in
the Era of August LIST, that the Republican
platform is the Henry Clay platform" Such
declaration was never made by us. 1t may
have appeared from another pen, during our
absence from Washington recently.
We are not in the habit of bolstering up
platforms or parties with great names. 1t is
perfectly immsterial whether Henry Clay o:
Thomas Jefferson would sanction the Republi-
can platform, so long as Ii is true and sufficient
for the exigency.

INDIAN DEPREDATIoNsW- the
head of "Indian Depredations," the shas-
ia Courier publishes the following: "We
understand that last week some eight OF
ten Indians, who had stolen mules and
horses from the express train of Great
house & Co., were taken on Trinity river
near Robinson's, on the road leading from
Shasta to Ireka, and after being exam
ined and their guilt proved, FIVE of the
number were shot. 1t seems cruel thus
to kill these creatures but self prererva-
ton requires that examples should be
made in all such cases. Humanity re-
quires, however, that the act sheuld be
clearly shown, for we are confident that
many worthless white men take advantage
OF the known propensities of the Indians,
to cover up their rascally deeds"

PRoFITs OF THE SACRAMENTO VALLEY
K RAILRoAD.-Although but twenty miles
Of the Sacramento Valley Railroad arc
yet completed, two trains Of cars now run
regularly over the distance named, So
that the way travel is already source Of
considerable revenue. During the month
of December, the receipts averaged about
$275 per day, while the cost of running
the cars has not exceeded $50 per day
When the entire twenty-five miles are
completed, so that the cars connect with
the stage lines, it is estimated that the re-
ceipts Of the railroad Company will reach
81 900 per day.

their intentions of erecting paper mills,
but universally failed in the execution Of
their project 1t is now stated that Messrs.

menced erecting large establishment on
Daniels Creek, Marin county. If they
ever complete the same, and we sincerely
trust they may, they will find market

to the fortunes of Atlantic mills, will give
this enterprise their hearty support

VALUE OF TALiSes-The following oc-
Cured in this Town, and the correctness of the
statement is within our personal knowledge.
About the close of last spring, one of our
shrewd and experienced miners bought pile
of tailings, on American Hill, for the sum Of
forty dollars. Having set his sluice, and COM
menced shoveling in the tailings, on washing
up at the end of bis FIRST days work, he took
out nearly three ounces. About a week was
occupied in putting the pile through, during
which he never made less than an ounce day.
He then moved his sluice down, and ran the
pile through second time, again realizing
fifty dollars the FIRST day, after which it was
subjected to q third course of hydropathy,
with first days yield of forty dollars. His
operation having now produced him about five
hundred dollars, and the water giving out. he
made present of his pile to miner who was
" fiat broke" who, we doubt not, will still
make good thing out Of it, as SOON as the
bitches are filed

L sWAIrING TO SURPRISE HER HUSBAND
New York CORE spondent Of the Boston Jour.
nal, relates the following incident in relation
to lady}who, by this time, in oil probability,
is in San Francisco waiting for the arrival Of
her false lord When he does arrive. he will,
Edoubtless. be very much, although not particu-
larly agreeably surprised at finding his wife
here in advance of him
An incident occurred here last week that
has made some talk among the parties who
have had knowledge of the matter. A lady
from the State of Maine came to this city last
week, on her way to California. She had as
arms two ,revovers and bowie.knife The
conductor purchased her a ticket in the Cali
fornia steamer, and she left in the vessel at
noon. Her story is this A short time since
her husband obtained possession of all her
wealt R1converted all he could turn into gold,
then deserted his family, took ship, and
started for the land Of gold, round Cape Horn.
But this is not the worst he took with him
female not his wife. Injured and maddened
the wife has started after her recreant lord -
not ffom love, but from hate--not to recover
possession of her absconding husband but to
administer to him a deserved chastisement--
not to take him back, but to shoot him and his
companion Wind, weather and steam permit,
tings the lady will reach California some time
in advance of her absconding mate. He will,
no doubt, be surprised to meet her ladyship on
the California landing and, unless sea sickness
shakes the wrath out of her, the meeting will
not be one of the most conjugal that can be
imagined"

WHrRr THE MoNEr GoEs-Last win

ter an Act passed the Legislature appro-
priat;ng the sum of thirty thousand dol
lars for the recovery Of estates said to be
escheatcd to the state. The Leidsdorf
and other estates, had been fruitful
theme for messages from Gov. Bigler,
for several years. In order partly to COM
ply with the wishes of the Governor, and
partly to save the people from never en-
ding boring on the subject, standing
committees on escheats were formed in
the two Houses, to examine the subject
and report their opinion thereon. When
the Assembly committee had the matter
under consideration, hasty message from
the Governor was thrown before them,
invoking the Legislature to act promptly
in providing means for the recovery of es-
tates, as much escheated property was
about to be sold for taxes in San Francis.
co by the sheriff. Instantaneous action
was represented as necessary to stay thc
sale. The committee on such represen-
tations, placed thirty thousand dollars at
the disposal of the Attorney General, an
officer elected and endorsed by the peo-
pie as honest and efficient, to be used in
securing to the school fund, estates alleged
to have been escheated.
Sanguine hopes were entertained that
several millions of dollars might with a
small appropriation, be. turn ed to the ben
eft of the children of the state. But the
visions of the Governor, and Of those who
read his messages were never realized. The
Attorney General put forth all the energies
of his great intellect, but knowing that
his efforts would be vain and futile with
out the aid of eminent counsel to assist
him in the herculean undertaking, called
upon VIM. NJ Stewart, who devoted with
untiring assidnity, his time and ia lents to
the great object, and received, as shown
by the books of the controller of State,
the beggarly pittance of ten thousand
dollars.
But the Attorney General, as the legal
adviser of the State, was bound to leave
no stone unturncd which might contribute
to success. Accordingly Senator Foote
and Judge Aldrich, both gentlemen stand
ing in intimate, relations to the Attorney
General and his assistant, were implored
to lend helping hand in the emergency,
and received for their valuable services
ten thousand dollars more That no legal
ability might be wanting. the pair of At
torney Generals, one u S. Senator and
j udge, were reinforced by Louis Bland
ing and H. l. Thornton, Jr., who re-
ceiyed, the one the sum of $4,000
and the other one thousand dollars.
DR.. Corycll was judiciously employed
as physician to the corps, receiving for
his professional services the sum of one
thousand five hundred dollars. Having
seen the most desperate diseases cured
with like remedies in the State Marine
Hospital, he was fit man to be employed
in case where quick consumption was
preying upon the vitals of the State.
