The San Antonio Herald Of the 14th inst

The San Antonio Herald of the 14th inst. says:
On night before last two gentlemen deposited with
the proprietor of the Plaza House. in this place. one
come in on the Austin stage on that evening. On
yesterday morning the money was missing, together
with man by the name Of Shelton, from Mississippi,
who had been acting as clerk of that house for a
short time past, and who is supposed to have taken
the money. The landlord of the Plaza is making
every effort to ascertain the whereabouts Of Shelton
and to recover the money.
The same paper says that cold, dry weather, pre-
walls in that region. n. ,.. r-.s=t- lLa.LT

The Victoria Advocate has the following interest

He has about twenty hands employed. and about
fifteen miles OF the river cleared Of every tree log and
root, and the banks are as bare as newly mown
meadow. He commenced at Whites Ferry, and is
working doWnwards The river is exceedingly low,
affording rare opportunity for doing good and
speedy work. Where the river is cleared of obsruc-
tions there is an abundance of water for steamboat
navigation notwithstanding the unprecedented drouth
and when the oryive thousand dollars appropriated
shall have been expended in the river and bays, the
navigation to Victoria, well to Goliad will be
fully equal to what was claimed for it by its most

Poisonous Liquors.


The editor of the Boston Post is understood to be
and after publishing the following paragraph it is no
wonder he pahetically enquired What shall those
whose stomachs require something besides water,
drink as a BEVERAGE
1t is said many fish have been killed lately, in the
Scioto river, near Chlcothe, Ohio, by the DRAWINGS
from the whisky distilleres. This did not formerly
occur and there is nothing in the grain to prove fatal
to the fish. 1t is doubt the effects of strychnine
recently introduced into the manufacture Of whisky
By the of certain quantity of this poison mixed
with tobaccojuice, every bushel of grain is made to
produce five gallons Of whisky, while with an honest
distllation the product is only half that amount The
sop from this filthy compound is found to be fatal to
the dstillery hogs, and chemist who carefully
lyzed the whisky, found that barrel of it contained
and alarming had this use Of deadly poison become,
that the Ohio Legislature has Just passed law max
ing it State prison offence to strychnne in the
manufacture of whisky. is it surprising that many
OF our free drinkers swell up and rot in very short
| time?
In answer to the Posts question, we can only OBJ
that had better all join the temperance soci-
ETY., and be done with it. Abstinence from socaled
liquors will soon become necessity with those who
desire to live and enjoy health. The social emp is
indeed, poisoned cup in these latter days. With
strychnine in the whisky and drugs and vitro in the
brandy, to give it ' BODY flavor and coloring, ),
the man who quafs much of either must be :: made
/ Of oak and copper fastened" to stand it long.
| We should like to see the Ohio law improved and
applied to louisiana The severest penalties should
be enacted against both the manufacturer and the
seller Of drugsed liquors, whether by wholesale or re-
tail. Such parties should be fined and imprisoned
and one-half the fine should go to the nforner.

we look with interest upon your efforts to

allude to the propriety of building bridge
across the Big Canon, one mile above the Ar
kansas Ferry, so as to cross the Mokelumnc
river on level with the leading ridges on each
side. This would give a road even with the
general level of the surrounding country, and by
avoiding the tremendous travelling difficulties of
the deep banks of the Mokelumne river, divert
much trade into that channel, ria. Double
Springs, of which San Andreas will be the
first prominent place on the South.
Overton's new Steam Wagon is being COM
pleted here, with which the inventor expects to
cross the Plains, from California. The affair
is being put through by monied man, and ex-
ecuted under the direction and from drawings
made by William Patton, an old resident of
Calaveras. 1t is to be hoped that it will sue
ceed. Nought could be better as pioneer of
railways to bring us near the east; or, perhaps
to aid Uncle Sam in chastising the lecherous
Mormon for his offences against the morality
of matrimony.

SACRAMENTO CRY, June 23d, 81.

SACRAMENTO CRY, June 23d, '57.
Mr.. EDITOR We ought to be thankful that
besides yours, there are one or two newspapers
published in this State eschewing political slang
and blackguardsm, in which political intrigue
is shewn to be the ne plus ultra of human study.
In spite of the contemptibleness of politics,
as pursuit for living, specimens of sharp
practice, even in that line, improve the wit
Concerning an nx-Assemblyman of Calaveras,
second-rate anecdote is now being told In
consideration of his support to certain parties
in the vote on United States Senator last fall,
a crumb was sent him from Washington, and he
received somewhat easy and lucrative ap-
pointment on the government works here
Major -, who after dinner relates it, says,
I" Showed him round the works. and endeav-
ored to impress him with an idea of great oner-
BUSINESS attached to his duties-sufficient to
frighten him with the extent of his responsible
ities-and put on the climax by informing him
that very large bond and sureties would be
requisite before entering on his duties, when
he, scarcely having made any comments during
my explanations, looking savagely knowing,
said: So you think me a id fool?' x
He left, and accomplished my object of plac-
ing my young friend here in the situation thus
vacated"
The great Convention of those persons repre-
senting the interested in Quartz, took place in
the Capitol last week, but turned out, most en-
phatically, fizzle-neither having given any
evidence that the quartz miners of this State
possess any scientific knowledge of their pur-
suits, nor showing that sound Judgment accred-
tied to them-from the fact that nought inter-
esting transpired on the former subject, and
that the management of the objects of the meet
ing performed very inharmoniously. We ex-
pected at least to have been indulged with "pa-
pers' on some subject connected with the theory
or practice of working quartz, either geological,
mechanical, or industrial but no! naught
marks the meeting, save its having resolved
itself into "Quartz Miners Association" with
an Organ and Officers, the former at Grass

MINING ON THE CALAvERAs.-Lastw week, in our
description of {" mines and mining" on the CAL
averas, below the Big Canon, we inadvertently
neglected to notice the claim of Messrs. David
Watt & Co., the next adjoining (below) that of
Mr.. E. E. Latimer & Co. This claim is also on
the same rich lead with that of Oat Willis,
Vogelgesang's and others. The company, with
nine hands employed, are making fair wages /;
the claim extends one thousand feet up and
down the river. This spring the company made
an outlay of over eight hundred dollars, erect
ing the most complete and expensive machine
ry on the river, for the purpose of pumping the
claim and washing out the gold. This claim
now bids fair to yield better than any Of those
above, and combining better natural advan-
ges, with improved mining facilities in saving
gold, time and labor.

PRIMARY ELECTIoN.-On last Monday Even
ing the primary elections of this county were
held at the various precincts. In San Andrcas,
the Democracy were quite inharmonious and
took sides for and against the resolution, as
adopted by the County Committee, to test the
qualifications of voter. The resolution was
finally rescinded by one wing, while the other
retired to another building and held little
election of their own. So we have two sets of
Delegates, and nice question will be for the
committee On credentials to settle, which is the
simon pure. We hear the same resolution
caused similar result at Old Gulch Upper
Calaveritas, Angels, and some other precincts.
We think the resolution was too stringent, yet
Democrats have right to nominate candidates
in their own way.

and P. NJ. Bowen, of this city, leave here this
morning for Carson Valley, on a general tour
of observation, business and pleasure They
go by the Big Tree road (of course), and will
make the whole trip in a two horse buggy
The excursion of these gentlemen will doubt
less contribute materially to the stock of prac-
tical information already made public concern
ing the passage over the mountains, as well as
tend greatly to direct the trade of the eastern

pose of Messrs. Peters and Bowen to spend
