MiH for the purpose of making Lumber, than ever
offered to the public.
These mills do their work with less power and
in better style and with greater saving of lumber,
than the Gate or Muey Mill-can be used in any
ordinary mill frame, and with any good power that
runs Gate or Muley Mill, and do double the
work, it is estimated, in the same time; and for
simplicity and durability, are all that can be reas-
onably desired. They will all kinds of timber,
are well adapted to all kinds of work, and are cap
able of cutting, on the average of from $4,000 to

quested to beware of whom they purchase Circular

Hon. Wilson Flint.

We publish elsewhere in the present
number of our paper, the speech of this
gentleman. delivered at the Railroad
celebration at Folsom on the 22nd of
February. 1t is beautiful peice of
rhetoric and does honor to the Hon.
Senator's head and heart. 1t will be
read with interest, for the subject of
railroads is one in which every Californi-
an feels deep and abiding interest.
The course which Mr. Flint saw prop
er to pursue concerning the Senatorial
election has brought down upon him the
mailed ctlons of the venal and yindictive
X. N. press of the State. Mr.. Flint,
owever, has the assurance that his
course is approved by his constituents,
as it will be by the people of the State.
He may not have ranked in the grade of
the X. n patty, as high as some of its
members but in devotion to the inter
csts of the State. to the wishes of his
constituents, to patriotism AID love Of
his adopted State, be towers above the
spoiIs-s;' king ut disappointed horde
who have sbowered their anathema> up
on him, as the Buttrs tower above the
swaInps and miasna OF the surroudIing
country.
Some of the Hon. Senators who have
showered their dcnunciations upon Mr..
Flint. should bear in mind that he wa,
nominated and elect d by the dem cracy
of San Franci~co, and although he may
connected him elf with The X n. party
he was not b ,und to adhere to its man
dates, VIII IL it was broken into factions
and become a bye-wo d and reproacl
upon Republican country, and sunk Il
lneHlble contempt.

manner that evinces determination to be
among the first into the river The timber
for the sub structure of the fume is all ON the
ground, and the lumber has been contracted
and will be delivered upon the ground at an
early day. About one half the shares have
been taken, and the books are open for sub
scription. The claim is divided into seventy
shares of one thousand dollars each-seven
hundred and fifty dollars of which is to be paid
in easy instalments, and the balance to be ta-
ken out of the river. The prospects of this
company are highly favorable for a success
ful summers work. The expectations of those
who are engaged in the operation are founded
upon the richness of deposits within the claim,
and upon the experience of the contractor,
Mr. Gilman, in river mining.

Shooting Scrape ut HansonxIlle.

A difficulty occurred at Hansonville about
2 o'clock on Sunday morning, between DR..
Webster, and man named Chris, a shoemaker,
in game of poker. The Doctor accused
Chris of having five dollars of his money,
which he denied, and left for his cabin. The
Doctor went over to Hansons Store and walked
up the clerk and got a pistol from him, and
followed Chris over to his cabin, where it ap-
pears he shot Chris in the knee, and Chris
shot the Doctor with double barrel shot gun,
both loads penetrating his left side. Chris
then started, net knowing he was shot, for
Bidwell to give himself up, but soon gave out
and returned. At last accounts it was stated
that the Doctor was dying, and the wound in
Chris knee is of very serious nature.

The death OF this bright and interesting
little child. has produced shock seldom felt
in our community, and has carried pang to
the hearts of the agonzed parents, which time
cannot efface. The family circle is broken

and sunk into "the cold and silent tomb. :,
Ged in his inscrutabie and Divine wisdom has
called him away but he has given the be

is Kingdom of Heaven"
"-Oer his grave the myrtle showers,
Its leaves by soft winds famed"
The bright dream Of fond and doting hearts
has vanished. Flowers breathe their frag-
rance over his grave, and the murmuring
tones of the waterfall sound requiem to his
memory.-ED.

MIR. Fuller and Southern X. Nothingism.
The senior editor Of the Louisville
Times, in letter from Washington
dated Dec. 18th, writes as follows:
The Southern Know Nothings are now
voting for Mr.. Fuller, of Penn'a. who
is represented by them to be National
man. Mr. Fuller is the successor of the
Hon. Ii. b. Wright, Sterling Democrat.
who voted in the last Congress for the
Nebraska bill. 1t was by infaming the
passions and prejudiees of the people
against this measure, that Mr.. Fuller
succeeded in defeating him. Mr.. Full
Ter has, until within the last day or
two, been casting his vote for Penning
tn, OF New Jersey, for speaker. PEN
nlngton is one of the fercest Abolition
lets in Congress, and last session voted
to repeal the fugitive slave law. Messrs.
Humphrey Marshal s. Co. can Justify
their votes for such man :gainst w.
A. Richardson, of Illinois, then, they
are either more adroit, or their consti-
tuents more silly than we have ever sup
osed them to be. This Mr.. Fuller's
previous political hist ,ry, has been kept
dark up 10 this lime, | have made arr
rangements to present to the readers of
