Convention at Wisconsin Hill,

In pursuance of resolutions passed at a meeting
at Yankee Jim on Dec. 29th. the delegates met
at the above place on Saturday evening" January
18th. Thos' ?. Slade, Esq, was appointed Chair
man. and NJ. NJ. Robinson, Secretary.
The following gentlemen were appointed as a
committee to examine credentials of the delegates
Messrs. Rowell. Duck Goodwin, Colgan and Bird
The committee reported rs follows: Iowa Hill 8
votes, Wisconsin 3, Yankee Jim 4, Todd's Valley
g. Forest Hill 2, Smiths Ranch l. Mineral Bar
Ford's Bar 2. Green Valley 2; total 27. Report
accepted and committee discharged
On motion, Resolved, That the delgates vote by
precincts.
Moved by R. C. Poland ESQ. that there should
be division of the County of Placer Ayes,
Iowa Hill, Wisconsin Hill. Mineral Bar, Ford &
Bar and Green Valley-7 votes; nays, Yankee
Jim, Todd's Valley, Forest House and Smith s
Ranch-lO votes. Majority in favor of division I.
On motion, Resolved. That committee he ap.
pointed to settle the boundary line of said county.
Messrs. Robinson. Allen, Warden. Hamlin, aud
Lawrence, were appointed said committee.
On motion. Resolved that a committee of three
be appointed by the Chair to publish an address
in the Iowa Hill News. relative to the division of
Placer county Messrs. Poland, Sibley and Todd,
were appointed the committee.
Resolved, That the proceedings be published in
the county papers. Adjourned.
THOS. p. SLADE. Chairman,
NJ. NJ. ROBINSON. Secretary.
Above We give the report of the great conven.
venton held on the 9th inst. The representation
OF precincts seems to have been one vote for the
precinct and one for every hundred or fraction of
hundred votes of the whole number cast at the
last election. There were nine precincts repre-.
sented. casting vote in the aggregate of twenty
seven delegates There were ten of these against
the division and seventeen in favor of it,
There are fourteen precincts within the propo-
sed boundaries of the new county casting in the
aggregate according to the apportonment thirty
four votes that were not represented in the Con-
vention. 1t is fair to presume that the friends
of the move were there in their strength and if
this be true there is among themselves an over
whelming vote against division Figures are
very heavy arguments-tis said they wont lie.
What move next? TED HERIrn

our citizens come and spend their money,
and we owe them something in the way of
keeping up a comfortable pleasant, orderly
town.
We have been led to make these remarks
at this time, from the fact that a petition is
again in circulation to effect this, as we
think, desirable object. We hope it will not
fall still-born again, but that our citizens will
pursue the undertaking to the consummation
so devoutly to be wished for.

The Iowa Hill News is ecoming quite
captious, upon the subject of division of the
county. The columns of the Herald have
been open for communications from its
friends, upon this subject, and several have
been received and published. We regard
the subject as one Of general interest to the
people Of the achole county, and they should
settle it. But the NewS man factiousy re-
marks that "they are sorry that either of our
contemporaries should be compelled to appear
without its usual article in opposition to a
division of Placer county; and this is the
more to be regretted as, we understand, the
individual who has heretofore written long
10 aty communications for those papers,
under dates of Yankee Jims, Michigan Bluffs,
etc, has left Auburn, and declines manufac-
turing more public sentiment for the people
of this Divide without their asking" And
then proceeds to cast up ''dirt and mire, y
upon some correspondent of his, whose rea-
sons he does not pretend to answer. but
whose orthography, is not regulated by his
rules, perhaps not by that of even more
learned men than the Nescs man. Now
education is certainly great advantage to
any one, and a man receives one or not. as
the circumstances OF life have controlled him,
but good sense is gift of God and does not
depend upon the trick of letters, and it does
not require the great polish Of the News man
to teach the hard fsted taxpayer, that his
interests are endangered by this scheme of
his. Not at all. Take the matter good
natured friend, and when you find you can
not pull the boat to the shore, do not exhaust
your strength in vain efforts to pull the shore
to the boat, otherwise that man may come
back and write communications to the Au-
burn papers,

THE WAY JOHN DOES Ir.-On the night
of the lth, an 'hombre' went into a camp
Of Chinese situated on Dutch Ravine. as the
cinnamon say to rob, succeeded in getting
some of their money, goods and chattes,
and was about making off with them, when
John doubled on him in such numbers
as to overcome him, retake the money, and
administered to him a smart thrashing.
They then gagged him, tied his feet and
hands each together, run a pole through
them and with their assailant strung upon
the pole, as they carry a pig, started to
Auburn with him.
There were about thirty of the Cinnamon,
and when one set got tired they set their
load down in the mud to rest or to be re-
lieved by their companions Meantime the
rain poured down in torrents. The fellow
was discharged for the want of the testimony
of white men, of the robbery, but Judging
by bruises upon the fellows figure head,
the way of the transgressor was hard.

Kansas Investigating Committee.

The report of the Committee Of the House
Of Representatives, sent by the U. s. House
Of Representatives to Kansas to enquire in
to tho disturbances there, was made in the
House on Tuesday Of last week. Ii more
than confirms the published accounts of the
gross outrages which have been perpctrated
in that territory by the border ruifans from
Missouri. We give below an abstract OF
some Of the facts il establishes
The report shows that as soon as the bill
TO organize the Territory Of Kansas was
passed, large number Of the citizens Of
Missouri went into the territory and held
squatter meetings, passed resolutions de-
nouncing abolitionists, and declaring that
slavery existed therein. In the autumn oil
1854, secret political society, called 1.-THE
Blue Ledge" was formcd-the plan OF op.
erations OF which. with its oaths. etc., arr
given in the report. The Lodge controlled
oil the subsequent movements and invasions
on tho part Of the Missourians.
At the election, Nov. %, 1854, for del
egate in Congress. there was no evidence Of
fraud except in the sparsely settled and re
mote districts, where citizens Missouri ap
pcared and voted. Details in relation tC
these hcts are given in the report, which
saws: cit is reduced 10 mathematical pre-
cision that seventeen hundred Illegal anC
non-resident votes were cast by citizens o
Missouri, the remainder, being legal votes
amounting 10 eleven hundred. MIR. Whit
feld would have been elected without the nj
of his Missouri votes, he having pluralit.
Of all the votes cast"
During the winter Of lS54-5S great ex
element existed in the Territory, on aceoun
Of the invasion; public meetings were held
and ,auch bitter feeling was manifested.
In February, 1855, a census was taken
and the number Of legal voters was ascei
taine<Ro be zoos. Previous 10 the electio
in the spring OF 1855, active preparation
were made In Missouri to invade the Terri
tory, and complete organization was nj
fected. Leaders were chosen. tents, provis
ions, ammunition and arms distributed, an
the forces were drilled, in companies, i
Missouri; and on the day before the eles
