Indian Diggings Correspondence.
IND1AN DIceINcs, May IA, 1854.

Since my last there has nothing Of impor-
tance transpired, with the exception of a
visit to our place made by Mr.. w. B. Tay-
lor lecturer on temperance This deem a
bright spot in the history Of the "Diggings, y
as it is among the first efforts that have been
made in favor of this noble and soul-inspiring
cause. No place could be found in the mines
where the evil Of intemperance reigns more
supreme than in this
No orator can be found who portrays more
wildly to the mind the hdeousness of this
loathsome and degrading vice. than Mr.. T.
He speaks from experience-his heart has
felt the poisonous sting OF the willy serpent;
and though his Shiny folds were closely wo-
ven around the soul of its victim, yet he has
been enabled through the strength of pow
erGu mind, to break through the meshes of
this soul-destroyer, and call himself man
again None can hear him without feeling
conscious that his words are true. May he
live long and continue to push forward the
reformation he has embarked in. All who
heard him were pleased with his style, and /
doubt not were he to lecture here again, his
audience would be much larger than on his
first appearance.
The mines in this place and vicinity still
continue to yield their hidden treasures to
the exertions Of honest industry
Gambling Saloons and drinking shops are
reaping rich harvest from the hard earnings
of the miner at the present time;-this is an
indication of "aush times" Several new
buildings are in process of erection--one 9
large livery stable, in the heart Of the town
and owned by Mr.. Baker, is to be iin'
building, and hope the enterprising propri
etor may meet with abundant success.
The hotels, boarding houses and restau
rants are doing good business, being throng
ed with customers who have plenty of "th
needfnp TO pay their bills-unless it be a
occasional stragler from some neighborin,
town, who sees fit TO eat, drink and he mel

Miners, charitable Association.

It is a matter of some surprise that chari
table associations have not been organized
among the miners of California: we NEAR
charitable associations composed exclusively
of miners, and for the exclusive benefit O
miners and their families.
There is no class Of men more in need O.
such an organization. The casualties occur
ring in mining operations are fearfuly fire.
quent; and the miner is often disabled by
rheumatism or other disease superinduccd by
exposure, He is injured by the premature
explosion of blast, or the caving of a bank
of earth; or is taken down with sickness,
perhaps just about the time he has expended
his last dollar in opening his claim. The
consequence is that he suffers for want Of
care and medical attention, or becomes a
heavy burthern upon a few Individuals
Most likely his claim has been sacrificed be-
fore he RECEIVERS from his disability, and he
rises from his bed disheartened, penniless,
and perchance with broken constitution
Now, not only as matter of benevolence,
but as system Of mutual safety and protec-
ton, beneficial societies should exist in every
considerable mining camp. The advantage
would not only be felt in a direct pecuniary
point of view, but the social intercourse be-
tween miners that would be thus cultivated
would of itself amply repay the time, trouble
and expense necessarily involved Men are
dependent upon each other There are those
who, with little money in their pockets or
little property under their control, are dis
posed to boast of their independence" but
one serious attack Of sickness, or a severe ac-
cident generally suflices to convince them
that they have labored under most egregious
mistake. 1t is proper, then, that organiza-
tions for mutual benefit should be established;
no man knows how soon he may himself need
assistance.
We might cite cases in point without num-
Der, ard refer to various additional argu-
rifents in favor of beneficial societies, but
deem it unnecessary. We have merely
thrown out the suggestion, and will leave the
miners themselves to take the matter into
consideration.

Prospeeting Deep Diggings.

n has been satisfactorily demonstrated
tlsatgold exists in abundance in the hills
which surround the basin in which Volcano
is situated. The gravel formation contain
ing it is at great depth,s and can only be
reached, proftably, by tunncling. This pro-
cess requires time, hard labor, and often a
heavy expenditure of money. The gold is
known to be somewhere in the hills and if
the miner could find out the exact place at
which to commence his tunnel, he would
have certainty before him, and would not
so much regard the time and expense required
to get in; he could also obtain his proyis-
ions, blasting powder, tools, &c, on credit
if necessary, because the merchant would
know that in due course Of events his money
would be Forthcoming. But tunnel mining will
remain an exceedingly hazardous enterprise,
until some plan is adopted by which the ex-
act location of the pay dirt can be ascer-
tanned before the drifting is commenced.
The sinking of shafts, by the ordinary
method, is almost impracticable in this neigh
borhood, in consequence Of the great guam
tity Of limestone encountered. What better
method can be adopted, is the question? The
answer is--the aHgur and ether machinery used
IN boring artesian relis. We are not advised
as to the cost of the apparatus necessary;
but it is certain that the expense of prospec-
ting the hills would be greatly reduced by this
process. If those engaged in tunnel mining
or those contemplating it, should unite to-
gether, and procure the machinery or, per-
haps, if an individual, or company should
engage in ii, the business of pros
pecting the hills for tunnel mining companies
might prove profitable.
The subject is one eminently worthy Of in
vestigation, and We shall be reioiced if some
of our enterprising citizens will take hold Of
it, We shall endeayor to procure such in
formation and particulars in this connection
as will be useful TO those interested.

ROWS Circus exhibited in this place on
Thursday evening, and their immense payll-
ion was crowded to very nearly its utmost ca
pacity. The company is an excellent one,
and the performances gave complete satisiac-
ton. The stud of horses is very good one.
The performers are all equal to their re-
spective tasks, and each in his particular line
is sure ito bring down the house."
The familiar nose, face we mean) of
Mons Rochette, in his capacity of clown and
herculean performer, added much to the en-
tertainment. "Frenchy" is q great favorite.
With Mr.. WALLET we were exceedingly
well pleased His department in the ring,
and the character of his iests, bring to mind
the times we read of when kings were unable
to digest their dinners without the aid of the
court fool" He is a jester by profession,
and capital one at that. Mr. W. under
stands how to be clown without being buf-
foon; and will be favorite wherever he goes.
The Band, under the direction of Par
sons, is superior to any that has ever visited

The entire performance is chaste, and
is worthy the patronage of the public. The
company performed again last night in this

the San Miguel Mission, distance of one

the whole country entirely destitute of pas

be feed and water sufficient to guarantee to
them an existence or bare sufficiency OF
food to sustain life till the spring rains
The different fields of wheat and barley
that few weeks since looked prosperous and
thrifty, are now despaired of, and as gene

HOUSE BLOWN DowN-During the heavy
blow yesterday afternoon, two story frame
building on Chambers street, near Davis,
which was owned and occupied as a boarding
house by Mr.. Fritz, was suddenly blown down
with terrific crash. The house stood on
piles, and the lot adjoining on the east was
vacant, and the whole concern was thrown
into the water in the vacant lot. Fortunately
there were no persons in the house at the
time, except the cook, James Lecwood and
a little daughter of Mr.. Fritz, named Georgi-
ana, The former was very severely injured,
and, when taken out of the ruins, was
removed TO the hospital, whore his wounds
were properly cared for. The little girl was
but slightly injured. The amount of damage
is veriously estimated at from 81 900 to 81, 90
