INTERESTING FACTS. The following geo
logical description of highly interesting
portion of California is from the Siskiyou
Chronicle:
1.-The exploration of the country about
the sources of the klamath River last sum-
mer and fall, has proven that that river aud
the Sacramento take their rise in the same
grand plateau. This great plain, having
an altitude of between four and five thou.
sand feet extends far north into Oregon
Territory, and embraces twelve lakes, some
of which are of great magnitude These
lakes are divided into two series. having
each its chain of connections; one of them
(affording much the largest portion of water)
pours its united waters into the klamath
through little Klamath lake; the other
sheds its waters through the snbteranean
channel of lost river into Pitt River and
thence into the Sacramento. The country
Immediately around these lakes, and along
the streams which flow into them and con-
meet with them, is vast meadow of grass
and tules. The higher lands are extensive
alkali plains, broken by hills which have no
connected range, and are covered with a
scattered growth of pine and Spruce.

The gentleman above named is the candidate
of the Democracy of Butte County for the
State Assembly. He is young man Of
most excellent habits, and affable, pleasing
manners. His choice was almost an unan-
imous one of the delegates assembled in

received by the party at large. Mr.. Hit
chens is an old resident of Butte County,

thoroughly identified with the interests Of

RgSoI

We have been furnished with the Resolu.
iutions adopted by the County Convention.
They are important as expressing the course
of the Convention upon subject submitted
to the people of the State at the approach
ing election, and we take pleasure in pub
fishing them.
Resoired, That this Convention of the
People of Butte, is wholly and unreservedly
opposed to the calling Of State Convention
at this time to adopt new Constitution of
the State and regards this measure as uu-
wise, unjust, and calculated to add greatly
to the present onerous indebtedness of the
State, and consequently would have a di-
rect tendency to impair our state credit
abroad, and oppress our citizens Mt home
with increased taxation, and thus impair
our unexampled prosperity.
ReSoired, That neither the uneasy and
restless ambition of professional politicians
nor the schemes of Inscriptions SPECTATORS
and moneyed aristocracies; neither the sell
fshness of the holders of Spanish grants
purchased with the sole wish to speculate,
nor the immaterial amendments advocated, +,
nor even the hankering of hungry spoilsmen
for division Of the State, to increase in
definitely the number of public offices, for
their special benefit, should induce the good
people Of this State, to disturb the fonnda-
ton of their government, by undermining
their present condition universally ac-
knowledged ns it has been, by the wisest
men of the United States, to be one of the
very best in the contederacy

Nj. III. Darrach.

The gentleman whose name heads this ar
ticle needs 10 compliments at our hands.
The mere fact that he was the unanimous
choice Of the County Convention, by which
body he was nominated by acclamation as
their candidate for County Clerk, is sufficient
guaranty of his popularity and capability,
and of the undivided support he has and
will receive from the Democracy of Butte
County. A gentleman of irreproachable
character and habits, and preeminently ca
pabe, and known to every prominent man
of ali parties in the County as the best fitted
man within it for the office, his nomination
is by all odds the most acceptable which
could be made, and is quite equivalent to an
election. With Captain barracks name
alone upon the ticket, its strength is most
materially increased and the surety of its
success established
