The British Minister, Mr. Champion, and
the three Consuls implicated with him, have
at last been dismissed by President Pierce
and have taken their departure for Europe
This event. SO long expected, has created no
very great sensation, though there are vari-
GUS speculotions as to the effect the move
meut may have on future intercourse between
the two countries. 1t seems, however, very
doubtful whether hostilities will accrue.

The people Of California have heretofore
but little regarded religious institutions :;
they have become so welded to obtaining
the almighty dolIar"-so completely lost
in the excitement incident to California
life, and the free and unrestrained indulgence
of Incorporate and licentious habits, that it
would seem the lesson remember the Sab
bath day to keep it holy inculcated into
their minds in early youth, has been almost
forgotten. lis true the seventh day is much
more respected nowadays, for in many in
stances, in former years, men scarcely knew
when Sunday came ; now, however, there
are many who regard and observe it
We are sorry to say in the town of Weaver
vile the only perceptable difference is
an increased activity in business Oh that day.
This is wrong, and it is time now to stop it.
In former years there might have been an
excuse and reason for doing so, but now
there certainly is not. A great change has
taken place in our population during the last
year many families have located in the
Weaver basin they have children to edu-
cate, and the character of the community
will influence in great measure the minds
and character Of these children Our mcr
chants and business men can wel',, . m;obtu

desirous of closing on Sondays, and we trust
they will be enabled ere long to induce all

A GLANCE AT THE MINERS AND MINING
TowNs.--In the last number of the Paofc,
religious journal published in San Fran
CISCO we find the following correspondence
from one of the editors Although it con
tains nothing particular new, it has grouped
together some facts which will be read with
profit:
From Forest City vast mining region,
of great Importance, extends to the north
for sixty miles, an immensely rich lead rum
ming in under the mountain, till it is too
deep to be worked by the means now used
Somewhere upon the other side of the noun

has been done to find it, it is still doubtful
where 1t is. Yet the great cannon of the
North Yuba must serve it, for ii gorges the
mountain to "A depth Of over two thousand
feet. At the bottom lies Goodyear's Bar
a small mining town, in which some compa-
nes are doing well. One company takes out
from twelve to sixteen dollars per day TO

ed by the price Of wages, which is only four
dollars per day.
Six miles up the river, with mining all
the way,is Downieyile, the shire town of ST.

inhabitants Two excellent ministers are

The German HospitaI.

This institution beautifully situated on the
hill south of town is now completed, and
presents very fine appearance. We learn
that the Hospital under the charge of DR.
Croucher, who will devote his whole time
and attention to those placed under his care.
AS yet there have been no applications for
admission. 1t must however, be a source of
satisfaction to our German citizens to know,
that when sickness or misfortune overtakes
Them they have place to go, where they

That Old Stump.

One by one in the rapid march of improve
ment around lis, are the old landmarks and
relies of other days swept away, and the
places which knew them once shall know
them no more" Dear to the hearts of ma
ny was that old stump" in front Of Com
stock & Martins Corrall 'Tis true twas
nothing but an old barkless treeless pine
stump, yet has it been the centre for many a
year past, around which have gathered in
the soft evening twilight, groups Of men in
terchanging the pleasant greetings Of social
friendship here too have the plots of de-
signing men been concocted "sports" while
sitting on this old stump have perfected plans
for transferring the glittering ore, extracted
by hardy sons of toll from banks of mother
earth, from the pockets of these hardy sons
to banks Of "monte" and faro" here have
politicians laid their plans and "soft-soaped'
those on whom their only hope was center
ed for the accomplishment of their ends
We could have stood it all had this old wood
king been treated in his removal with some
little respect. Had it required deep digging
around its roots and great OK teams to re-
move it, it would have been at least q sort
of consolation ; but, alas, the unsparing raw
ages Of time had tceakened thee, old stump :;
q few blows Of the woodman's axe and thou
vert scattered to the four winds of heaven
Farewell to thee, we could have better
spared better stump"

FIREs.-This week has been remarkably
brisk time for fire alarms, there having been
no less than five alarms within the week
some of which would have proved serious
had they occurred in the night; fortunately
the timely discovery prevented any serious
consequences. One of the alarms has proved
benefit, as one of our citizens who had de-
termined to postpone erecting brick build
ing until another season, las been induced
by the proximity Of the fire to change his mind
and we shall in a short time have the salts
faction of recording the erection Of another
brick. If we are only fortunate enough to
escape fire for month or more longer, all
fears of general confagration will be at
an end. The brick buildings now being erect
ed, are so scattered among the wooden
ones in the business portion Of town that, a
general spreading of the deyouring element
will be prevented.

PMSFUL BALLOON ASCENSION The Placr-
vile Aaierican, in describing the ascension OF
Professor Wilson, at that place, Oh Friday
the 20th Of June, saws
W9en the balloon had been fully inflated
and the professor had taken his seat in the
car the word 'let Co." was not distinctly
heard by those having the management of
the ropes, 50 that holding on to one side too
long, it half overturned tie balloon. On
being linally let go the balloon in righting
itself put the professor into the position of
mighty clock pendulum, and well but fear
fully did he yibrate. Suspended in the air
thirty feet below the main body of his bal
loon, and rapidly rising almost perpendicu-
larly, himself aud car swinging from side to
side, it appeared at times as though he was
trying to jump over the top or into his bal
loon.
We believe every one looked npon his
danger as imminent ; but at length the bal
loon, at hight of fifteen hundred or two
Thousand feet, gradually became steady, and
the Professor rode majestically and bcauti-
fully above the scenes Of his former trials
and dlsaPpointments, waving his flag on
either side Of his little car Then, for the
first went up huzzas Of the multitude from
below.
According to the Democrat he alighted
on the top Of pine tree

The Bay City.

Nothing unusual has occurred at the Bay
during the week in connection with the
movements Of the Vigilance Committee
Everything it would seem depends upon the
life of Hopkins, who was still alive at last
accounts though in very critical situation
Judge Terry is closely confined, his friends
not being permitted to communicate with
him. Some Of the papers below are advO-
eating a compromise on the part Of the exc
cutive and the Committee, and it is intma-
ted that there is a probability of compro-
mise being attempted If there is dispo-
sition on the part Of the parties, to make
some amicable adjustment of the matter
why this delay? If ever it be possible for
compromise to be made now is the time to
do it. The death Of Hopkins would place
affairs in position we dread to contemplate.
While the committee were engaged in
fighting there home grievances, it would
seem the nnheard of corruption and vilany
they he'd been forced to endure justified their
course, and the sympathies of the people of
the State were with them, but this Terry
affair is different thing. The interest of
the people throughout the state are affect
ed, and upon the action of the commit tee in
this matter depends their veal or Woe

Court INCIDENT--At the session of our
District Court which adjourned last Wednes,
day, German was tried for killing a man
at FiddletOwn some six weeks ago, aud found
guilty Of manslaughter. After the jury re-
turned their verdict he was under the inn
preston that he was to be hung, and no one
could convince him to the contrary. When
called up to receive his sentence he was so
badly frightened thai it was with difficulty
he could stand and he was unable to speak.
The Judge proceeded to pass sentence, re-
marking that, though the prisoner had been
indicted for murder, the jury had found him
guilty Of manslaughter only, and he should
therefore sentence him to three years in the
State Prison. So completely surprised was
the prisoner that he sprang forward and ex-
claimed, | go five years, go five years"
1t is needless to say the Sheriff had some
difficulty TO restore order in the court room
