A GOOD STORY is told on our friend 'Dump-
sey,' OF the Potter Dramatic Troupe. The
company left here Wednesday morning for
Fiddletown, and d. not wishing to tear
himself from our midst, tarried an hour or
two after the rest had departed After a
desperate effort" he started, in company
with suspicious locking character, to join the
troupe. On arriving at Upper Rancheria,
he fancied that he was at his journeys end
and "put up" at the finest looking house in
town" Feeling accary he called for lodgings
and was soon transferred to the dreamy
land" About O'Clock P. NJ. he awoke and
inquired for the theatre and the balance of
the company, &c. lie was informed that
the theatre was located about six miles in a
northwest direction, and that the company
had passed through that place early in the
morning, en- route for Fiddletown. Oh
mmther, and havn't put my fut into it
this time, sure The last We heard of him
he was making tracks at the rate of 2 40.

Ashland Diggings.

ytation of Col. Bcknell the Ashland Dig
gings," located about four miles distant from
Volcano between the North and Middle
Forks of Sutter Creek. These mines have
been worked for three or four years, (when-
ever water could be obtained) and have al
ways paid we'll AT this time there are two
canals that furnish an abundance Of water for
a large number of miners. All those who
avail themselves of this advantage, are making
good wages; and some are taking out the shi-
ming ORC at the rate of two and three ounces
a day.
About noon we reached our friends cabin,
and after partaking Of the good cheer there
provided, we stroled through the diggings,
and found many hardy sons of toir busy at
work. The first claim visited was owned by
Messrs. Irvine and Co. 1t is located in a
small raviue on the ridge. They are making
good wages, and have ground enough to keep
them employed for long period of time.
Next we visited the claim OF Coffee and
Co., situated on the bank of Sutter Creek
These gentlemen have erected very power
full hydraulic; and the way they "make the
dirt hy," is caution to Irish Paddles! They
use about fifty inches Of water, with fall of
some seventy feetl They employ three men.
Mr.. c. informed us that this week they would
take out about twenty ounces of gold dust
They have ground enough to last them year.
Immediately adjoining this claim, Messrs.
Davis and Co, are erecting another hydraulic
of the same capacity. 1t will be in operation
in the course of a few days These gentle
men have one of the richest claims in this
part of the State, and they very naturally
feel pretty confident that they have their
"piles' almost in their hands. We trust that
their brightest anticipations may be fully re-
allied.
There are many other valuable claims at
this place that are being worked, and that are
paying WELL of which we will speak at anoth

thousands Of acres of mining ground at Ash

rrsmont ~ and Now.

In their efforts to manufacture a great man
out of the small pattern which they picked
up in the Philadelphia Convention, it would
be most gratifying, no doubt, to those Of the
opposition who shuttle the cards and pull the
wires in the present contest, if they could ex-
punge from the record a few of their former
savings in reference to Fremont, as well as
some Of the rather suspicious looking acts of
the same gentleman that now rise up to con-
front and confound them. As to the acts Of
their candidate, the records of the Govern
msnt are furnishing them quite as fast as
they are wanted. The criticisms of the fusion
press, on the contrary, have to wait the slow
process of being dug up from old files by
those who are curious enough to go in search
Of such things, or are 10 be seized upon as
they turn up accidentally, as such things do
occasionally.
Here is one of those chance resurrections
that will bear making a note of:
In January. 1851, the N. Y. Tribune, with
out any design, Of course, of ever attaching
itself as a tail to the great Mariposa kite
| spoke its honest sentiments Of the man who
now leads the grand Republican army. AT
that time the Tribune did not think that
John G. Fremont was so very superior to
common folks'' in intellect and statesman
ship, or so very immaculate in morals and
blunt, square-toed honesty. Hear him:
"If the members elect vote as they have voted
| in the Atlantic States, and as they would vote
| were they there again, a Wing will have Colo
| mel Fremont's seat. As for Fremont himself,
| there is not at present the least hope for him.
| Both parties distinctly disavow him. His Gold
| tax Bill ias killed him. The fact of his coming
| here to the neglect of his duties in Congress, to
| electioneer for another term, has also been high
ly preiudicial to his interests"
So it appears that, in the eyes of the
"whole-souled and generous GREELEY" Col
FREMONT always had at least one eye open
to feathering his own nest politically and pc.
cuniarily, in everything that he undertook
One Of two things is most palpably appa.
rent-either JOHN G. Fremont has most rap.
idly improved in mind, morals and states
manship, or HORACE GREELEY has most sad.
ly degenerated in political and editorial hon
esty.

The Boston Traveller gives an account of a

electoral ticket in Iowa:

Mr.. Cook was formerly a Wing member
of Congress from Iowa. In the Southern
part of the State the Fillmore men are quite
and it is thought viii poll seven or
eight thousand votes. In the late State
election they coalesced with the Black Re-
publicans on a common State ticket, and to
their votes the latter owe the victory they

prophet to predict that with three electoral
in the field Mr.. Buchanan must carry

GItis a query with which many learned

nent of laws and constitutions, or as an hon.
est and faithful gatherer of historical facts
It's expositions Of the legal intricacies in
volved in the Kansas prosecutions, and its
narration Of the particulars of the recert out

tons of great merit-if merit consists in
seeing how wide a man can come of the

GThe Journal is guilty of attributing to
Gen. CAss, language in reference to General
HARRISON, which any one who knows Gen.

BILE Senator from Michigan is not the man
to indulge in personalities, at any time, or
on any occasion. Gen. CAss, in speaking OF
Gen. HARRISON, always bore voluntary testi.
