THE CoLoRED CoNvENTIoN.-The State
Convention of colored men, recently held at
Sacramento, was attended by sixty delegates
who represented sixteen counties, chiefly
northern ones The Mirror Of the Times,
their organ, says on thes subject:
1.-THE delegates were chiefly young men,
the majority of whom were miners of stall
wart trames-men Of labor and men OF
thought. Many We're mechanics possessing
good real estate; at least twenty have been
assessed at from five to thirty housand dol
lars each. 1t is safe to say that the dele
gates represented in their own persons,
wealth to the amount OF two hundred thou
sand dollars, and of their constituents not
less than four millions of dollars Six were
graduates Of colleges, ten were liberally ed
ucatsd in the English branches, and all could
read and write and had some idea of parlia-
mentary forms.'

JAMES CUsICK. who was ordered to leave
the State by the Vigilance Committee, but
who did not go and whom the Committee
have not yet hung, recently visited the sen
Tor editor editor of the California .Ameri-
can. Mr.. Cusick "looked straight in the
face of the senior, with o " bold Irish eye,"
and from his apparant honesty and fear
lessness," the senior is of the opinion, that
" he has been made the subject of injustice
and persecution The senior Of the finer
ican; in making this admission lays himself
liable to expulsion from the Committee, and
may possibly receive a note from "93
Secretary" ordering him to leave the State,
or suffer the :" usual penalty" Seriously,
however, we are pleased to see this frank
and honorable admission on the part Of the
american. 1t is an evidence of returning
reason, which would hardly have been con
sidered orthodox previous to the election.

The CAMELs.lt has become quite COM
mon sight TO see camels aud dromedaries
marching through our streets, The camels
are now employed in carrying government
freight from Powder Horn to the depot -
They carry the enormous weight of 600
pounds, and with the greatest ease. The
sight of them stampedes all the horses and
mules, that come within sight of them. -
They are certainly not handsome creatures.
The only distinction the Arabs make be-
tween the camel and dromedary is, that one
serves for beast OF burden, and the other
is riding nag The word dromedary with
them means swift, or fleet. a horse in n
brisk trot can scarcely keep up with the
camels when in a walk They apparently
90 slow, with long and measured tread, but
in reality they are moving along rapidly.
The dromedaries, with their riders and
gorgeous trappings, move along in brisk
trot, at the rate Of one hundred miles per
day

procured the camels, is still in town --Mdi-

Topics Of the Day.

ACCOUNTS from Thompson's Flat,
represent business in that locality to
be very lively. The recent rains
have furnished some of the miners
with the long-needed water, and
many OF them are commencing the
usual mining operations of the season.
We have been favored with a sight
of some of the specimens which that
locality produces. 1t is somewhat
different from the mining region on
the south side of the river in the Vi
cinity Of Oroville. The deposits of
the latter vicinity are mostly fine
gold, whilst those of Thompson's
Flat, besides producing fine gold in
great abundance, abound in speci-
mems of coarse gold and quartz.
The claims which the recent rains
have supplied with water, are yield
ing excellent pay, and have given an
impetus to other branches of business.
Messrs. McWilliams & Tymeson,
and also Messrs. Hedges & Harmon,
principal bankers of Oroville, have
each established branch bank at
that place, for the purchase of gold
dust. Buildings are going up rapid
ly, and business on the other side OF.
the river promises to be most lively
and flourishing during the wet season.
1t is an established fact, that the
section of country between the North
Fork and the Valley, abounds in
rich placers, and canals are being
constructed to furnish the great want
so long felt by the miners of that
vicinity, water. Heretofore they have
been able to operate only with the
scant supply furnished by the dry
rainy seasons of the past four years.
This has been only barely sufficient
to prospect the ground, and in many
places has not furnished water for
even doing that, as miners were
obliged to locate claims where water
could be turned upon them from the
ravines, and of course the higher ele-
vations could not be worked at all.
Before the expiration of the present
wet season, it is quite probable that
one or more of the bitches now in
process of construction in that vicini-
ty, will have been completed, which
will give permanence to business
heretofore periodical, and almost
wholly dependent upon the rains.
May mining and business opera
tions on the west side of the river
continue to prosper, until the miners
become rich, and all shall feel the
necessity of a bridge connecting Oro-
vile with Thompson's Flat, and also
the necessity of cheap and speedy
communication with the county be-
low, to furnish us supplies, and carry
our Coal, Lime, Marble and Lumber
to market.
