To the Patrons of the "San Andreas
Tudependeut."

We, the undersigned, selected by the subscri-
bers and friends of the above paper beg leave
TO report, as follows:
Acting under the powers delegated to us,
we resolved to establish newspaper in the town
Of San Andreas, to be devoted to the true
interests of the public; one, through which
the people of our county could be heard, and
true issues impartially advocated ;-and with
the aid of Mr.. George Armor, who selected the
materials, we have established the San Andreas
Independent, the second No. of which, we pre-
sent for your approval Mr.. George Armor has
been selected to conduct the paper upon an in
dependent basis; how we'll he may fulfill his
mission, it is for the public to Judge. To the
people, therefore, we say continue your friendly
aid; promptly meet your engagements, and we
guarantee the Independent to be, what we claim
for it, the friend of the miner, the farmer and
the mechanic, and the honest advocate of every
interest tending to the benefit of the people of
Calaveras county in general.
Respectfully, yours,
JOHN D. SULLIVAN

FOUND GUILTY.-Wm. II. Werth,
who some time since committed an assault
on Mr.. Kingsburry, editor of newspa-
per, has been found guilty. The Judge in
his sentence, says: Both parties were
wrong, but Werth was wrong first, and by
that first wrong, wrong also last. If it
were for me to infict the punishment, it
would be very different The judgment
and sentence of the Court is, that you pay
a fine of $3.50, and stand committed until
it be paid

Messrs. |. S. Rosenbaum & Co., pre-
sented us with some of their new supply
of the famous Buffalo Chips" Tobacco
The sample is certainly treasure for guild

"pocket full of chips" SO that we can go

unite on those in the coming canvass
whose every endeavor will be to quell the
surges of distraction that now roll over our
land ? or will we, with blind adherence
to party, still tamely submit to our total
ruin
Men do not seem to consider in this con-
test for the minor offices of Senators and
Legislators, that they vote for great princi-
pies, instead of men. They do not seem
to think that perhaps upon each vote de-
pends the election of one whose every act
will be in direct opposition to the very
principles he believes will save our glorious
Union. They do not seem to consider
that as they deposit their votes, they may
do it for Union or Disunion, for quiet,
peace and harmony, or for discord, anar-
chy and confusion. And yet it may be
that these things are involved as deep
ly as if printed upon the tickets they
deposit in the ballot boxes. To the
Workingmen we then say, consider, pause,
reflect, ere you vote for any man for State
Senator, or the Legislature, that you do
not feel and know, has your interests and
the interests of the great masses, at heart.
Who is not a Union loving man,-and
loving the Union, loves you and your rights.
Upon the tickets, our County nomina-
tions present men of high sentiments, no.
bly, feelings, and generous hearts. The
three parties are able represented, but let
no personal consideration weigh with us
in this contest with them, but determine
to vote for principle, and principle ALONE.
For County officers we have nothing to
say. Each one will be governed by his
personal friendship,-nor would the elec-
tion of any of them injure us, for in all
parties we find men of standing, and Cal
veras boasts many such aspirants for office.

END OF THE CHINESE FEUD. We

argus.
We hope the first Law the next Legisla-
ture may pass, will be an Act to suppress
gambling, so strict in its nature, as to do
away with the evil. The crime should be
punishable with heavy fine or long i'm
prisonment.

In CIRcULATIoN.-The people of San
Jose estimite that over 100000 were ex-
pended by visitors in that City during the
continuance Of the late State Agricultural
Fair. Since then the money market is
said to be considerably easier there, and we
doubt not some sharp speculations in town
lots have been going on.

PATRIOTIC our first page will be
found some appropriate poetry, written by
a lover of "Our Union" We advise all
sectional men to read it,-then read over
" Washington's Last Moments" and if
it does not stir up their patriotism, and
love for our Land of the free and the
home of the Brave" they can commence
at the head of the column and read ''The
fate of the Desperate" from which they
will, no doubt, derive useful lesson.

EMIGRANTs.-The past week has been
one of activity in the emigrant line. On
each day several trains passed through this
place. We noticed more than an ordina-
ry number of women and children, in the
crowd. Accompanying one train were
near a dozen bouncing girls, full of fun,
frollicking along as if the fatigue of travel
and the alkali of the desert had all been
left behind Three-fourths of the men
were old Californians, returning with their
families bringing back to this country the
gold they carried home with them to the
"States,' in the shape of blooded-stock
and household treasures. Most of them in
their former visit to California, had came
the Placerville route, and this time BY
the Big Tree road; they unhesitatingly
confirm the we'll understood fact, that the
Big Tree road is more than one-half better
to travel than any other route. They ex-
pressed much astonishment when informed
that San Andreas was within forty miles of
Stockton
Their destination is for Russian river.
and the vicinity of Clear Lake. Some
few were bound for Monterey county, OF
the Salinas, St. Johns and Santa Clara
Valleys.
1t was amusing to see the emigrants,
as they reviewed the Chinese, who were
equally amused at the close scrutiny with
which they were quizzed by the young la
dies. The emigrants seemed to think they
had landed in the middle of Asia instead
of California, so numerous were the Chi.
nese, male and female, around the wagons
The Misses Johns" from their improyed
style of Bloomer dress, loose habits and
garrulous gybes and jeers were soon point
ed out, as of the female persuasion; and
woman's curiosity, of course, made the
discovery much to the chagrin of a Pike
county teamster, who was in quandary
about the sex of the "blasted critters"

THE BALL.-As we to go press every
thing "goes merry as marriage bell. =
The decorations of the ball room are ele-
CANT, gotten up in tasteful wreaths of ever
green and bay, with initial decorations en-
blematic of the designs of the Order. The
Committee of Arrangements have been
unremitting in their efforts to perfect the
details of the tete, SO as to give satisfaction
to al, and we are happy to chronicle
their success. But time and space is too
limited for us, in this issue, to say more.
We understand that about two hundred
turned out in procession at Mokelumne

the institution of Mokelumne Lodge, No.

THE OVERLAND TRAvEL--Through
the enterprise of our frontier population Of
the Western States, who are now pouring
into California by the Big Tree and other
routes, our wealth is increasing. Slowly,
but surely, does our growth mature as train
after train of hardy emigrants arrive at this
haven of their rest, bringing with them
their wives and little ones, their Aocks
and their herds, from far off land to en-
JOY the pure air and continual sunshine of
our heaven-blessed land. Every train
brings thousands of dollars worth of De.
vonshire and Durham improved cattle
their horses are the strongest and feetest
to be found in the Western Prairies, and
are brought here with view of improv-
ing the mustang stock of this State One
train of such emigration, is worth whole
steamship load, of kid-gloved ballot-box
suffers and sweet-scented office-seekers, by
the ocean route. The blessings of emigra-
tion come over-land-the curses, that en-
tailed the formation of Vigilance Com
mittee, { the only plan by which murder
and ballot-box stuffing could be Justly
punished, come by the ocean routes. By
sea came the prostitute, the female charla-
tan, and their men, who are now scattered
broadcast over our fair land renegades
from the just vengeance of an outraged
people, or the edicts of the Vigilance Com
mittee. In our highways and by-ways
is presented the brazen efrontery of the
broken-down gambler, glaring with demon
eyes on the unsuspecting traveller, as ''stand
and deliver" is called out; yet that same
out-lawed rufian, was once gentleman
enaigrant,-by the steamer.
How different class are these honest
overland emigrants Their coarse, heavy
shoes and home-spun clothes seems to in
dicate want, or privation. But not SO, al
though coarsely they are comfortably clad.
We look upon these arrivals, as the har-
binger of better day for California
Those girls, have, two-thirds of the dis
tance for two thousand miles, footed it
into this State, yet they are our cherished
hope! their pride and destiny is to fulfill
a natural obligation,-to be the wives of
honest miners, farmers and mechanics;
and the mothers of noble, god-like men;
their daughters,-good well-behaved hon
est-hearted country girls,-the brightest
gem of the social circle, and Keystone of a
happy and prosperous home.
