Mr.. Editor: The philanthropic and dlsln-
terested "Citizen" again conspcuously eNhlb-
its his nice and handsome proportions, to the
tune of two and a half columns of the Press
of the sth inst. No merit or importance,
however, that his elaborate communication
contains could prompt me to notice him
again, but the false issue of three weeks ma
turity, which he endeavored to create in his
closing paragraph, in relation to my motives
in opposing his bankrupt measure of dispo-
sing of the county debt, impels me to show
forth this Honorable gentleman in his true
connexion with this funding" measure.
With "Citizen" originated the agitation
and able advocacy of this "funding' scheme,
and to which he has devoted, almost eXclu-
sively, since the commencement, his entire
time and brilliant talents with a pertinacity
and zeal worthy Of better cause. | did not
imply or accuse this selfconstituted guardian
of the peoples rights, of being the originator
of the bill which Senator Hawthorne intend
ed introducing in the Senate six weeks ago,
although was then sufficiently fortified with
facts to substantiate and prove the same, be-
yond a peradventure. This nadgnonlmouS
sentinel and acilling protector of the Irea-
sury of Placer cannot successfully undertake
to affirm or assert that his arduous and lit
cary abors were solicited by a single prop
erty-holder in the county-consequentl it
is quite apparent that selfinterest must have
been solely instrumental in debating his
''Funding' Bill.
always feel a reluctance in insinuating or
attributing improper motives to any one, but
more especially to a mind so chartablv dis
posed, and reared up in such religious subju-
cation and care as the one this vrtuous Cit
izen" affects to possess; but when he intro
duces and resorts to language unbecoming
his ermine, and indulges in epithets uncaled
for and irrelevant to the courteous and frank
discussion of an important subject, | then
think his Socredotdl education and training,
in which he prides so much, should not shield
or exempt him from the odium which his
conduct justly fastens upon him.
As the funding question is already wisely
and satisfactorily disposed of, and in the man
ner too which | suggested, much no doubt
to the chagrin of "Citizen,' it is therefore
unnecessary for me to speak of it again.
Yours, DC, DOC.

We give below the Union's account of an
assault made on Monday last upon one Of its
editors. We have been accustomed to read
the Union for the past two years, an 0n-
slider the tone of its editorials, as qL .-as-
perate, and in no case have we been }
discover malicious intention to njure III
dividuals. Certainly it is in the most ex
treme case, that persons are justitable in
adopting the mode of redress for wrongs
fancied or rea pursued by Mr. Bell. The
editor of this paper wishes it distinctly un-
derstood that he will join the military com
pany about being formed in Auburn, after
which violent gentlemen must be cautious
how they assault him:
CowARDLY AssAuLT.-An unwarrantable
attack was made by ex-Controler Sam. Bell
on the person of the senior editor of this
paper, in the Senate Chamber, on yesterday
morning. That body was in session at the
time, and Mr.. Upson one of the spectators
of its proceedings. On passing from the
lobby into the main hall, he encountered Mr.
Bell, bowed, and paid the usual compliments
of the day. Mr.. Bell replied by applying to
him some opprobrious epithet, the purport
of which was that Mr.. Upson was ID
scoundrel, and he didn't want him to address
him. Bell followed up this courteous remark
with severe blow with his fist. and before
Mr.. Upson was able to regain his equilibrium,
struck him with his cane several times over
the head, inhicting, however, no serious in
uries. Mr.. Upson, on recovering himself,
raised his own cane and administered blows
in return. Bell here threw down his stick
and drew from his bosom long bowie
knife, but was prevented from using it by the
bystanders. who rushed in and separated the
parties. The Sergeant-at-Arms Immediately
arrested both Mr.. Upson and Mr. Bell, who,
however were speedily discharged upon their
parole to appear this morning at the bar of
the Senate, when the affair will undergo in
vestigation.
1t is proper to state in this connection that
Mr.. Upson was wholly unaware that Mr.. Bell
entertained such hostility against him, and
that the attack was entire Y unexpected. 1t
is said that Mr.. Bell was induced to make
the assault in consequence of certain stric-
lures relating to State Prison matters, which
appeared in this paper some weeks ago.
The report which has obtained credence on
the street, to the effect that Mr.. Bell had
requested Mr.. Upson never to address him,
is totally unfounded.

The PAST AND PRESENT CONDITION OF
THE NEGRo.-The New York Observer, in
the course of an article on slavery, says:
"When the ancestors of those negroes We're
torn from their homes in Africa, by the
slave-traders of Old England and New Eng
land, and placed under the influence ofChrist-
ianity at the Sonth, they were among the
most degraded and miserable of the human
species, slaves Of cruel masters, the victim of
poody superstitions, believers in witchcraft
and worshippers ofthe devil.
"And what now is the condition of their
descendants! Several years ago more than
100000 of them were members of Protestant
evangelical churches in the savehoding
States! About 10000 American negroes,
trained chiefly at the South transplanted
to Liberia, now rule nearly 100000 natives
of Africa, and though their school and
churches are spreading the light and love OF
the Gospel in that land ofdarkness and hea-
thenism.
1t is true that more than nine-tenths of
the negroes at the South are still slaves;
but is slavery under Christian masters in
America, the same evil with slavery under
heather tyrants in Africa Degraded as
these slaves may still be compared with the
sons of the pilgrims in New England, or
even with the mass of aborers in some of
the enlightened countries in Europe can
100000 or 100000 negroes, bond or
free, found in any part of the world, who can
compare, for good condition, physical, intel
ectual and moral with the 5000, 900, slaves
at the South' Has Christianity, aided by
oil ba uaolth of h
much during the last twenty years for the ele-
walton Of the 100000 emancipated negroes
in the West Indies, British philanthropist
themselves being the judges Of what it has
effected, there, as it has done during the
same period for the elevation of our 5000,
600 American slaves?

REDUcr1oN OF AURIFERoUs QUARTz,-Ihe
following from the London Mining JoarnaI
will be interesting to many Of our readers.
I'VE have had an opportunity, during the
week. of visiting the laboratory Of the Royal
Panopticon of Silence and Art, to witness
some experiments by Mr. Harris, of fDolgelly,
assisted by Mr.. Anse the professional chem
st of the institution, for the economical cX-
traction Of gold from itsmatriX. The process
is we believe. modification Of an old
German method, aided by the extensive cX-
perience and important chemical discoveries
of modern times. The ore is from the Chan
cellosrviIIe Main in Virginia. a quartz deeply
covered with the red oXyd ofiron; this is first
calcined and reduced to an mpaIpable pow
der, which is then placed in a glass retort
immersed in cistern Of water, kept up to
boiling temperature this is connected by
glass tubes with a generator in which chior-
inc Gas is produced by the decomposition of
the black oXyd Of manganese, acted upon by
hydrochIoic acid. This gas passes through,
and thoroughly saeurating every particle Of
the gold dust, hitherto inyisible,converts the
same into a soluble chloride of gold. The
sand is then well washed, the chloride conse-
duently dissolved, and stream of carbur-
cited hydrogen being passed throughout the
solution, prciptates the metallic gold in the
form Of a deep purple powder In one por-
ton of the apparatus a particle Of leaf gold
was placed in a glass tube, to show the effects
Of chlorine on metallic cold, and which was
rapidly acted upon by it. being converted
into beautiful green chloride Inning the
tube like web. The process is expected to
be very economical on a large scale"
