STRIKE AMONG MINERs.-The miners
on the ridge from Cherokee to French
Corral are now upon general strike
against the water companies, and refuse
to pay more than twenty-five cents per
inch for water. Primary meetings were
held few days since in the various mi
ming towns, and on Wednesday con-
vention was holden at San Juan to take
measures in the premises. A report of
the proceedings was received too late for
insertion. This section of country is the
only one in the county where the
water is furnished all the year round.
PERsoNAL.-We had the pleasure of
call from the Hon. j. w. Vaudeville,
the hereditary Senator from Tuolumne,
on Monday last. On the Senatorial
question, his invariable inquiry is,
"Where be ye neow!" Friend Man
derville appears to feel just as happy as
if he were columbia S favorite son"

The election of Gwin might add to his

AFFAIRS OF ADAMS & Co.-Accord-
ing to the San Francisco Herald, the
amount of assets under the control of
the receiver exceeds 100000. 1t is

The HUNTINGTON FoRGERIEs.-Ad-
ditional forgeries to the extent of $685.
900, by the noted Huntington, have
been brought to light, and more are ex-
pected. They were all upon J. A. Van
winkle g. Co. The total amount thus
far is S537 900. The New York Herald
gives the following description of Hunt
ingtol.s
1.-The career of Huntington has been
like display of reworks-brilliant, but
evanescent. For little while he spent
money like water. He had six or eight
horses-two pairs for carriages for him.
self and wife, and several fast trotters
His sideboard was brilliant with massive
plate. He was great man at Saratoga,
Niagara and Rockaway, where his wife
had more trunks and more diamonds
than any one else; and in town he kept
up two matrimonial establishments, one
regular and the other irregular-onc a
Christian heme, the other Mahomedan
seraglio-one according to the laws of
New York, and the other according to
the customs of the Mormons-within
few doors of each other. He was a
prince for an hour. People ate his din

who seem little oblivious in regard to
these matters; and find it very difficult
to discriminate between their bogus and
