MoRPHEus.-A rather amusing story is
told Of couple Of young gents-good boys
both of them-who it is said slept in the
Sacramento coach, in front of the Empire
Hotel, the other night Geo. Stone drove
them to the top of the hill, distance Of one
mile before arouaing them from the embrace
of morpheus; and he had great difficulty, af-
forwards, in convincing them that they had
not been kidnapped by the Vigilance Commit

port him, and il now looks to the action Of the
Straight Wing Convention, which meets at
Louisville, July 4th.
The acceptance Of Mr. Fillmore of the
nomination by the Philadelphia Convention,
the noticof which appeared in the afternoon
editions Of tie journals, ELECTED much con-
-versation, and seemed generally to produce
disappointment.
The MoHAvE CorNrRY.-On Tuesday NOR
ming last we published, says the Union some
information from a member of Mr.. Wits
surveying party, portion Of which arrived in
this city on Sunday, July 18th. Our infor-
mant furnishes the following account Of
that country:
The Mohaye country, of which but little
is known, beggars description. Nor pen nor
pencil could do it justice. Tile whole coun-
try looks as though it rested under wither-
ing, scorching curse Of the Almighty. The
strange contrast between che cast and west
side Of the Sierra Nevada strikes one with
wonder On the west side you see the coun-
try mirrored with lakes, watered with noble
streams, and ornamented with stately oaks
and sycamorcs; Vegetation rank and luxuri-
ant, the grass green, and the grain rpening
in the sunshine You hear the carol birds,
and the happy song Of the husbandmm -
As If by magic the scene shifts and you be-
hold naught but arid plains, burned by a trop-
ioal sum- sun-dried deserts, parched by the
scorching rays Of centuries dotted by detach-
ed hills Of isolated groups lofty, rugged and
inaccessible. But the singular feature is the
scarcity Of water on the cast side There is
neither wet nor Try season. When oil the
rest Of the world is supplied with water, il
there is any left it is Mr0sca there for It does
not rain, it literally falls down Neither do
the laws which seem to control the rains in
other lands apply there. The little cloud
comes from any direction, turns itself over
like a bucket Of water and in five minutes
all traces Of it are vanished Every portion
Of the country bears the impress of awful vol
canic eruption. The hills are covered with
burned trap rock, which gstens in the sun
like polished ebony. OF Vegetation there is
none save some grees wood and sage and oc-
casoHly a spot OF bunch grass. AS for min
eral deposits, we find several silver veins that
were rich aud extensive, hut so far from wood
aud water that no sane man would attempt
to work them. There are no other minerals.
We would run days without any magnetic
variations. To sam it all up in a few words,
it is Utterly galucless for any purpose on earth;
yet il is being all suryeyed--uot merely the
principal lines, but subdiyided into sections
Why, is query / should Ike to have solved
| suppose it brings money into the State, aud
makes political friends
But have occupied more Of your space
than | ought. All will say is. don't send
your friends there for farms or gold dust

GEcRoIA Co-This company have been
doing remarkably well lately. The last week
they took out over three thousond dollars
One pan about half full of dirt YIELDED ten
ounces of gold. If men who have money to
invest would only take look at this claim,
aud the hundreds of others that are to be
seen in the basin, they would not hesitate
moment to take stock in the tunnel that has
been commenced for the purpose of draining
The ground that lies in the basin. There are
millions of dollars deposited here that can
not De reached on account of the water and
the only way it can be obtained is to com
plete this work. Come, gentlemen, and ex-
anime this matter /; it is no visionary project
the evidence of a good investment are yisi-
bic all around.

DRyTowN.-On Monday last we paid a
visit to this well known camp As at almost
every other point in the county, there is
great complaint for want of water; yet the
town and vicinity appear to be lively and
Furnishing. Several very fnc fre-proof
brick buildings are in course of construction.
The quartz Kills in this region have chiefly
suspended for the want of water to propel
them. A number of new veins that promise
great richness are being prospected. With
constant supply Of water, Drytown might be
set down as one of the liyliest if not tie
liyeliest camp in Amador county.
