County vention.

The Democratic State Convention has been
called TO meet in Sacramento on the 9th of
September. for the purpose of nominating
Members of Congress, Presidential Electors
Clerk of the Supreme Court, and States
Prison Director 1t has been recommended
by the State Committee that the County
Conventions be held on the 23rd day of Au
gust. 1t remains for the County Committee
to call the Convention, to appoint delegates
to the State Convention. There is only
about one months time within which to
give notice to the different precincts of the
county. The county committee should pre-
pare TO issue the call. Some consultation
amongst the committee as TO the time and
place of holding the convention, may be
necessary. The following named persons
compose the committee: Hon. Seneca Ever,
Hon. c. F. Lott, g. w. Hess, n. ID. Plum,
and Geo. II Crosette.

Telegraph.

The necessity for Telegraph to Oroville
is becoming every day more apparent, and
we trust our business men and mercantile
friends, who would find it of great advantage
will agitate the subject, until the telegraph
company shall extend the line to this place.
Our meechants could then transmit their
orders to San Francisco and receive their
goods in forty eight hours. Our numerous
and busy mining population would then be
in direct communication with other portions
of the State and in receipt Of the latest IN
telligence. The telegraph is already in op-
GRAFTON to places of less business Importance
than Orovile, and if there is place in the
State where such an investment is profitable
il will prove so here. We hope the Directors
of the Alta Telegraph line, will take imme-
diate steps to extend their line to this place.
The Shasta and Yreka travel must pass
through Oroville, as soon we have bridge
erected, and the Sacramento Valley Rail
road must ultimately cross Feather River at
this point, on its way to Fort Reading and
Utah. This may seem improbable to some !;
but those who have the best knowledge OF the
northern portion of the State, are satisfied
that the only really practicable route for Il
Railroad into California, is through Indian
and Genessee valley to the Humboldt. But
we will allude to this matter at some future
period; our present want is Telegraph,
and that we must have, if we are obliged to
build it ourselves Will the Marysville Ex-
press and Inquirer please wake up the
lightning gentlemen to the importance of
extending their line to Oroville'

Another Falschoosl Rcfutcd.

We hear it frequently charged that Bu-
chanan, in a speech made some forty years
ago. remarked that ''ii he had drop OF De-
mocraiic blood in his veins, he wonld let 1t
out J." The Lancaster (Pa.) lnteihgencer
replies authoritively. and says:

it is remar kabe fact that he has never

the people Of Lancaster county 1t is, there

Grand Mining Operations.

Mr.. A. S. Hart and Alonzo Gilman are
probably the most extensive river miners in
Calfor MIA. Mr.. Hart at the present time,
time, has much greater amount OF tiuming
under contract, than any man or company
in the State. His operations are mostly con-
fined to Feather River. His first important
contract was the celebrated Pine Knot claim
Of last year, being 1900 hundred feet in
length, and although the River did no
prove to be as rich as was anticipated, the
hume sand contract was executed with
promptness and in monner so perfect in
every particular, that the magnificent ap-
pearance of the whole work was subject
general remark and admiration. His oper-
ations the present year are much more ex-
tensive On the North Fork, the Niagara
claim at Berry Greek Bar, the entire river
ran through the hume on Saturday last,
1900 feet in length. On the Junction claim
tlume 1000 feet in length, the last stick of
timber was laid in its place on Saturday.
Mr.. Woodhouse Foreman On the Rough
and Ready and Ohio claims, about one half
the timber is laid down 1t will probably
be finished next week Flume is 1900 feet
in length--Miles Hart, Foreman.
The Montezuma claim, under the direction
of Mr.. Gilman, have the timbcrs laid for
700 feet, and are rapidly progressing with
the balance of the claim. We are not in
formed how long this flume will be- but un-
derstand that it will be an extensive one
This amounts in the aggregate to $500 feet
calling the Montezuma 2000 feet, which is
about its intended length, or one mile and a
third. Altogether this is a work of no small
magnitude. But where there is such in.
domitable energy and enterprise, there is no
river so crooked or rapid, but that its wa
ters may be made to run through tinme,
and its bed laid bare and dry.
With such men as Hart and Gilman for
contractors, Jim Bearce, Woodhouse and
Miles Hart for superintendents, and s. A
Dickey for civil Engineer, and the Missis-
sippi might be humed

Mr.. AND Mrs. TERRY.-It is well known
that the San Francisco Vigilance Committee
for some time past, have refused to grant
Mrs. Terry permission to visit her husband,
whom they hold prisoner, or permit him to
address her without examining his letters.
In relation to such course of conduct, one
who sympathises with the Committee, and
signs himself American" writes to the
Herald as follows:
"Committee of "33"--in the name of God
in the name Of your wives, If you have
wives--of your sisters, if you have sisters
of your mothers, II you were not sucked by
vpers-in the name of hCnor--in the name
of manhood--let weeping wife see the let
ters of her imprisoned husband before they
are sullied by the eyes Of your guards or
your censors What fear you OF this woman?
Is she IA Queen Regent, and are ye con-
clave of rebels, that ye expect assasslnat alton
from her emssaries Has she any power?
Is she not bound hand, foot, soul IN body /!
Why, Caesar would have been contented
with such hostage as you hold, in the very
encampment of the heroes of Morven and Of
Albion Rchelieu, the priest, hardened
from the cradle, would have blushed at such
cowardice his eye would have moistened ut
such objectless cruelty. Spain had her Tor
quemada, but the confessor Of Isabella wo'd
have garroted member of the Santa Her
mandad for such cowardice. You hold her
husband, the father of her babe, aud yet
fear single, almost fricndless woman!
have been friend of the vgilants and still
am; never saw Judge Terry in my life !;
but have travelled, and have seen inen in
Council and in the field; have seen cities
sacked and hamlets burned; but Inever saw
a man that would add one pang to an hon
orable woman's heart to save his life. God
do SO to me, and more also, if do not now
and forever keep my soul unsullied from
such meanness."
