After the above was in type, The following
letter, from citizen of Sutter Creek, to the
Jackson Sentinel, came under our notice 1t
is dated Feb. Eth, and we copy it as evidence
Of the views entertained by those who have
Witnessed the experiments described in the
above Communication. The writer of the let
ter to the Sentinel appears to have been fully
satisfied of the success of the assays, from his
Gown observation" We make the following
extract from said letter:
eft may be of service to the readers of your
paper, to be informed of a very interesfinp
visit tO'.ohr town of two chemists and min:
eralOgists, Messrs. Chevalier and Dusuzeau
They have come here from San Francisco. to
make public assays of our quartz tailings
black sand tailings, &C.. The results of their
experiments have been truly astonishing
They show plainly to the most incredu1ous,
that we are losing from SO to Is per cent. of
the gold from our quartz and other diggings
They profess to he able to save all that we
throw away, and from my own observation I
have no doubt of their abilities for success.
Their assays VIII. be published in the Sacra-
mento and San Francisco papers They have
opened a subscription, and intend forming
company, to be called the Quartz Tailings
Mining Association. of Amador County, with
capital of $4,000, in one hundred shares of
SzOo each, the capital to be repaid to share
holders before they receive any benefit themL
selves out of the operation. Such discov-
cry is of vast Importance to our county, and
if you will confer the favor of publishing
these facts, it may help them in their under
taking. In expectation of consummating the
object, the whole of Sutter and .Amador
creeks have been staked out in mining
claims, below the quartz mills, for the tail
ings they contain"

ArrEMPT TO ARREST GOVERNOR REEDER--Gov-
ERsoR ROBINSON AND OTHERS TO BE ISDIcT-
ED FOR TREASON.

ArrEarr TO ARREST GOVERNOR REEpER.-Gov- v
ERsoR ROBINSON AND OTHERS TO BE ISDIcT-
ED FOR TREASON.
By dispatch from Lawrence, via st. Louis.
last evening, we are advised that the Pro-Sla-
very party in Kansas have resolved on the bold
step of brealing up the CongressiOnal inresfiga-
tion of the riHainies by ,chieh they hare usmrped
nie gorermment of the Territory, finding that the
developments of this investigation are such as
their cause cannot bear. To this end they
have undertaken to arrest Gov. Reeder, now
prosecuting the investigation before the House
Committee as contestant for the seat of Gen.
Whitfield, and have undertaken to drag him a
way to Becompton "a Pro-Slayery nest,) so as
to paralyze and break up the exposure of the
gigantic fraud and violence by which they car
red their bogus Legislature last year.
At the same time, Pierce's Judge Lecompte
(from Alabama) has charged his Pro-Slavery
Grand Jury to indct all the State Officers and
Members of the State Legislature as guilty of
High Treason, and Federal troops have proba-
bly, arrested part of them ere this. 1t was
believed at Lawrence that an effort would be
made, under cover of serving these processes,
to seize and destroy the blasting evidence of
Border Ruffian fraud already taken before the
Commission. An earlier dispatch had already
apprised us Of the arrest of Governor Robin
son on a steamboat coming East, at Lexington,
Missouri.
We have cherished a sanguine hope that the
Slavery Extensionists, having the Executive,
the Judiciary, the Senate, and at least half of
the House on their side, would permit an in
vestigation of their last years doings-by vir-
tue of which they pretended to enact laws for
Kansas and send Whitfield to Congress-and
then let the people decide between the two
parties. Having the full power of the Gov
ernment at their back and the potent name and
organization of the Democratic party where
with TO stupify and bewider the voters of the
Free States, We thought they would suppose
they could afford to bear the exposure which
an official investigation must involve. 1t seems
they think differently, and are resolved to sti-
fe the Investigation by violence and force
The alternative they offer to the Free-State
men is-s'surrender Kansas quietly to Slave
''ry, or be subdued and punished as traitors 20
Be it SO, then Let us avoid collision TO the
last possible moment-and submit, for peace
sake, to indignities, to Imprisonment, to be
insulted, belied and harrassed as traitors-but
NOT to the enslayement of Kansas. No sur
renderi-1ri6aae.

F1rIInusTERIsM RECOGNISED.

BY advices from Washington we learn that
the President has received Padre Vijila as Min
lister from Nicaragua. This is equivalent to a
recognition of the Walker rule, which claims
to be the actual and rghtful government there.
This is nothing more than could have been
expected, for the sympathles of the admins
tration have always been regarded as being
with the fllibustcrs; though it does seem
somewhat strange, when it is remembered that
short time since the President refused to re-
cognise Parker II. French, minister from
this same government. After holding back
so long, and under the peculiar circumstances,
this movement must be viewed as decidedly
improper. The prospects of Walker establish
ing permanent government, are not very ef-
fulgent just now. The President should,
therefore, have waited until matters were fully
settled in Nicaragua. If Walker should come
out victorious, his government could then be
recognized with some show of grace. As it
is, in the event of his overthrow, our govern
ment may find itself seriously compromised
with his conqucrors. This act is but another
evidence of the imbccility of the present Ma
tional Administration. But, as intimatcd be-
ipASs iiODOtAs htSu bS SUI HiiScu' uC SlllIII VI
the age is not only progressive, but it is ac-
quisitive. 1t might be well enough, there
fore, for those s'in authority in this country
not to be too punctilious about Walker, who
has assumed the executive functions of a coun-
try for which he has about the same show of
right that prowling wolf has for deyouring
a farmers flock. His course will serve as
precedent for us; for who knows what terri
tory we may want hereafter to annex to ours
