NUMBER 80.
Look out for Thieves.

We are informed that there has of late
been several robberies committed in town
and this immediate vicinity. Several pock-
cts have been picked in our hotels,and many
attempts have been made at petit larcency,
but so far, no arrests have been made.
A suspicious looking stranger was noticed
by Mr.. Kimmel of the National, at Lynch
burgh, and about the time his affairs were
about to be enquired into, he came up miss
ing, and that same night one Of the Board
ers had his pockets relieved of 50, another
of So ~.
At the Empire on the Fat above town, We
are told, that last night some scoundrel stole
and carried off a gold watch and small
amount of money belonging to some of the
inmates of the house.
There are some notorious vagabonds III
town, and unless our citizens citizens are on
the lookout, their residences will be robbed
of valuables by them, who have nothing else
to do but watch an opportunity.
This is the season for harvest with the
light-ingered gentry, and its about time
our citizen police made the acquaintance OF
some of them. 1t is particularly necessary
at this time that they should be on their
guard, as dangers threaten us on every
hand. OF this fact we are admonished by
the almost daily announcement of the des-
truction of towns in other portions of the
state: Again we say be Tigilant.

Grand Mining Operations.

Mr.. A. S Hart and Alonzo Gilman are
probably the most extensive river miners in
California Mr.. Hart at the present time,
time, has a much greater amount Of fluming
under contract, than any man or company
in the State His operations are mostly con-
fined to Feather River. His first important
contract was the celebrated Pine Knot claim
of last year, being 1900 hundred feet in
length, and although the River did not
prove to be as rich as was anticipated, the
fume and contract was executed with
every particular, that the magnificent ap-
pearance of the whole work was a subject O.
general remark and admiration. His oper-
ations the present year are much more ex-
tensive. On the North Fork, the Niagara
claim at Berry Greek Bar, the entire river
ran through the fume on Saturday last,
1900 feet in length On the Junction claim
flume, 1000 feet in length, the last stick OF
timber was laid in its place on Saturday.
Mr.. Woodhouse Foreman. On the Rough
and Ready and Ohio claims, about one half
the timber is laid down 1t will probably
be finished next week. Flume is 1900 feet
in length-Miles Hart, Foreman.
The Montezuma claim; Under the direction
of Mr.. Gilman, have the timbers laid for
700 feet, and are rapidly progressing with
the balance of the claim. We are not in
formed how long this fiume will be, but un-
derstand that it will be an extensive one
This amounts in the aggregate to $500 feet
calling the Montezuma 1000 feet, which is
about its intended length, or one mile and a
third Altogether tins is work of no small
magnitude. But where there is such in
domitable energy and enterprise, thereis no
river so crooked or rapid, but that its wa
ters may be made to run through a fume,
and its bed laid bare and drv.
With such men as Hart and Gilman for
contractors, Jim Bearce, Woodhouse and
Miles Hart for superintendents, and S. A
Dickey for civil Engineer, and the Missis-
sippi might be iumed.

TELEGRAPH TO ORovILLE.--A letter from
our fellow ownsmsn, NJ. H. Farley, Esq,
informs US that parties from below will visit
our place on Wednesday or Thursday of this
week, for the purpose of making arrange
ments to extend the Telegraph to this point.
and TO Shasta In making this extension, it
will be necessary for our citizens to encourage
the enterprise, by taking stock, as literally
as the undertaking will warrant. Let our
citizens canvass the matter fairly, consider
its actual Importance and the many benefits
to be derived from it, and sufficient encour-
agement will be given to insure its immedi-
ate construction.

TeIegrepll.

The necessity for a Telegraph to Oroville
is becoming every day more apparent, and
we trust our business men and mercantile
friends, who would find it Of great advantage
will agitate the subject, until the telegraph
company shall extend the line to this place.
Our meechants could then transmit their
orders to San Francisco and receive their
goods in forty eight hours. Our numerous
and busy mining population would then be
in direct communication with other portions
of the State, and in receipt of the latest in
telligencc. The telegraph is already In op-
GRAFTON to places of less business Importance
than Oroville, and if there is a place in the
State where such an investment is profitable
it will prove SO here. We hope the Directors
of the Alta Telegraph line, will take imme-
diate steps to extend their line to this place.
The Shasta and Yreka travel must pass
through Oroville, as soon we have bridge
erected, and the Sacramento Valley Rail-
road must ultimately cross Feather River at
this point, on its way to Fort Reading and
Utah. This may seem improbable to some !;
but those who have the best knowledge Of the
northern portion of the State, are satisfied
that the only really practicable route for a
Railroad INTO California, is through Indian
and Genessee valley to the Humboldt. But
we will allude to this matter at some future
period our present want is a Telegraph,
and that we must have, if we are obliged to
build it ourselves Will the Marysville Ex
press and Inquirer please wake up the
lightning gentlemen to the Importance of
extending their line to Oroville'

to call the Convention, to appoint delegates
to the State Convention. There is only
about one months time within which TO
give notice to the different precincts Of the
county The county committee should pre-
pare to issue the call. Some consultation
amongst the committee as to the time and
place of holding the convention, may be
necessary The following named persons

Another EaIsehOOd Refuted.

We hear it frequently charged that Bu-
chanan. in a speech made some forty years
ago, remarked that 'sif he had drop of De-
mocratic blood in his veins, he would let it
out" The Lancaster (Pa.) Intelligencer
replies authoritively, and says:
"a STALE FALsEHooD REVIVED The In
dependent Wing of this city "a Know Moth
ing, Black Republican, niger worshipping
Journal has already commenced the work
unprincipled editor and owners have such a
wonderful proclivity. This does not sur
prise US in the least-indeed, we should have
been disappointed had that paper pursued
any other course The editor is only labor
ing in his true vocaton-doing the dirty
work of his unscrupulous masters.
Amongst other falsehoods against Mr.. Blu
chanan retailed in its columns is the o1t-re
futed one about the drop of blood The
writer kows this to be false; for it was pro-
nounced such by number of our most res
pectable citizens, of all parties, at the time
the charge was first started. And this fact
the writer for the Independent Whig was
cognizant of. But he says he has living
testimony to prove the charge. Well, then,
are aware that there is an old man in this
city, whose character for veracty is so bad,
and whose conduct is SO despicable, that no
one acquainted with him would believe him
on oath, much less his mere naked assever-
ton. This man, we persume, is the author
ity upon whom the Independent Wing relies
to prove the villainous falsehood. But let
that paper produis its man, and we pledge
ourselves to produce at least twenty of our
most respectable citizens, who will prove
the story downright lie-a base, umitiga-
ted falsehood from beginning to end.
Mr. buchanan has resided in this city and
its vicinity for forty-fve years. His upright
and consistent character, both in public and
private life, is well known to almost every
man, woman and child in this community
The people of this county have time and
again honored him with their suffrages, and
it is a remark kable fact that he has ne yer
yet been beaten at popular election before
the people of Lancaster county. Il is, there
fore, all futile for a strolling nutmeg adven-
turer, like the editor of the Independent
Whig, to attempt to injure Mr.. Buchana an
at his own home. The lie in question, has
been repeated SO often by a reckless and Nh
principled opposition as TO have lost all nov
city and interest. Nobody believes word
Of it. Mr. BIS enemies will have to get ur
some other story-concoct some new false
hood-if they hope to deceive any portion oi
| the people,

CELESTIAL MARRIAGE-It will be seen
by reference to our list of marriages, that
our Asiatic neighbors are fast becoming citi-
zens; and are plighting their vows one
to another in the Holy bonds of wedlock. A
John takes to himself Johness. And why
not Chinese gentleman be bearded in the
heart by an arrow from Cupid's quiver, just
as well as a mere favored and refined son or
daughter of Adam,
John is also up to time in the accompani-
ments of such interesting, solemn and i'm
posing ceremonies; for with this notice came
two perote platters containing most deli
cious rice and molasses, and two STICKS for
the Printers to gobble it up with.

EYEs.-Major Noah, who was close OBJ
server and connoisseur in these matters,
once said
That " hazel eye inspired at first Pla-
tonic sentiment, which gradually but sure
ly expands into love as securely bounded as
the Rock of Gibraltar. A woman with a
hazel eye neuer elopes from her husband !
never chats scandal, never sacrifices her
husbands comfort to her own, never finds
fault, never talks too much or too little, al
ways is an entertaining, intellectual, agree
able and lovely creature" "We never
knew" says brother editor, &c but one un-
interesting and unamiable with hazel eye,
and she has nose which looked, as the
Yankee says, like the little end of nothing
whitfield down to point" The grey is the
sign of shrewdness and talent. Great think
ers and captains have it. In women it indi-
Gates q better head than heart. The dark
hazel is noble in its insignifcance, as in its
beauty. The blue eye is amiable, but may
be feeble. The black-take care!

Provisional GovERNMENr.-Thatl lcen-
tiOus mobocratic print, the San Francisco
Evening Bulletin, recommends the forma-
tion of provisional government for that
city. Thes hate become tired of Republi-
can form Of gosernment, or their vigilance
operations have rendered them insane. The
ostensible Editor of the Bulletin is Mr.. Tho's
S King; but we have heard it rumored that
its principal writer is an unnaturalized En-
glshman Whether this is true or not the
proposition seems strange and "unnaturalP'
The wisdom of our forefathers, and the ex
perience of eighty years of unexampled pros
perity under Republican institutions, does
not satisfy the hberty-loYirg people of San
Francisco. If they choose to be governed
by secret committee sad the bayonet, and
establish provisional governments every two
weeks, we should ike to have them get up
and and git out of America to perform
their Continental didoes
Butte record., 1856-07-26

IMPORTANT LAND DECIsIoN.-The 18th
District Court for Humboldt County, Judge
j. g. Pitzer, has decided that the Settlers
bill, passed last winter, did not in any man
ner affect rights acquired under the School
land Law of 1852. The decision was made
on the ground that the rights acquired un-
der the law of 1852, were vested by the ope-
ration of a contract between the State itself
ard every holder Of warrant who had in
good faith located it in conformity with the
requirements of that law; and that it was
not in the power of the State, through the
Legislature, to alter or change an executed
contract of that nature, by a subsequent
act retro active in its effects, which made
the character of the grant less beneficial to
the other party

REPUBLICAN RATIFICATION NETTING
The Black Republicans have lately held a
big ratification meeting in San Francisco
to ratify Fremont's claim to the Presidency.
1t is rumored that some of the Nigilaute or
gans are to be purchased by the party. On
Tuesday prominent Fillmore organ. which
has supported the Kuow-NOthing ticket
since its nomination, dropped those distin-
guished, patriotic and office loving States
men, but says not word with regard to the
matter. Our political almanac maker prog

If any Of our readers have perused

Js- The California fillibusters, who hold
possession of San Francisco, are indulging in
the harmless amusement of presentation
affairs. Banners and swords are freely
given and received, and the committees
soldiers are paraded forth to view, with
pomp and circumstance and military feath-
ers. Walker can fllibusters the Nicaragua
ians to thunder, but it takes European bay
onets to govern San Francisco, and to con-
demn and spit upon the constitution of q
sovereign American State.

WARLIKE.-The Lords of the Admiralty
have given notice at Lloyds that vessels are
required to convey 45S tons of powder and
ball to Quebec, and 1873 tons of powder and
ball cartridges and live shells to Montreal
This looks like replacing the exhausted
munitions literally. Some of the Lower
Canadian papers have rumor that a feet
of the new gun boats are to be ordered to
the lakes. By the treaty, although no one
vessel of either nation may carry more than
one gun, yet there is no limit to the number
of vessels. The armament may be kept
ashore until required.
