ME>>Rs. EplroE>: This is ono of the
finest mining districts in the county. 1t
is furnished with fine hill diggin-S AS
we'll as surface, which are paying hand
somely, on all average of from five to ten
dollars per day to the hand. Several
specimens, weighing from So to STIR
have been found recently, Tie latter being
pure, solid piece Of gold. Everything
looks fine and prosperous. The location
here for village is delightful one, being
surrounded with picturesque sccrcry
We have but TO step to the brow of the
hill to behold the Sierra NcvadaS. tow
ering up toward heaven, their gigantic
peaks that seem to loom above the clouds
Such arc the beauties and gifts with which
nature has endowed this almost unnoticr,l
place. We arc surrounded with the best
of society; more so than is usually found
in such mining towns or districts.
For the last two months We have been
enjoying Il fruitful source Of pleasure and
happiness derived from dancing school
taught by our worthy friend, Mr.. Shatler,
to whom we are much indebted for the
skill and grace he has taught us, as some
Of US were little qualified to appear in the
halls of dancing society. The ladies'
from the surrounding towns, diamond
Springs, Mud Springs, Placcrvillc and
Middletown, have graccd our halls, and
We feel rlated with the incXprcssiblc pleas
urc their company has afforded Us. Our
citizens express their heartieSt thanks in
favor of the new county scat, but their
most strenuous disapprobation to the di-
vision Of the county. They are fully sat
istied that the county scat is where it
ought to be, and there let it remain. We
have learned with regret that our worthy
friends and fcllow-citizens, Miles & Os-
borne, have been seized with fit of
phrcnzy recently, which resulted in an
immediate determination to "vamose" for
the Atlantic States, if they can wind up
their business in due season. They have
long been engaged in mercantile pursuit
here and their loss will be greatly felt in
social circles as we'll as in that of bust
ness However, having been in this
State seven or eight years, VIC cannot
blame them for wanting to see their near
and dear relatives. Mother and sister,
doubtless have they, who would ain
clasp them in fond embrace and hail them
as one lost but now found. And, no
doubt, there is some fair damscl who will
say "Wclcomc home, my braves, my
heart still beats for thec!"

Friendship.

In the social intercourse Of mankind
there are few ties more pleasant to con-
template, and which more ennoblc hu-
manity than that of generous, honest
friendship. To the parent, the sister,
the brother, the child, We are, so TO speak,
but part Of the same tree, in whose lie
and preservation we are, III a measure,
forced to take mutual interest. To the
! wife or husband the conventions of civil
zcd society trust not to the fidelity Of our
mutual vows, hut bind us with legal
bonds and penalties. But when man says
to NATL am Your friend, he feels
none OF these incentives to prove himself
thus no obligation to bind him TO the
iultilmcnt Of that avowa!, save the sell
imposed one Of his own truth and honor.
There is nublyncSs in such mutual at
tachmettt4 that iaises tho participants III

garment fit for admiration. j like not

SERENADE.-The gentlemen of the ''Pla-

thanks for their kindness in serenading us
on Saturday night last, on our return
home from Sacramento. Neverdid "Home

Pacific IMMIGRANT AID SoCIErY.-An
association, under the above name, has
been formed in San Francisco, to co-opc-
rate with the Society in New York, in
encouraging and aiding emigration from
the Atlantic side to California. The
board of directors is composed Of some Of
the best men in the city, old Californians,
wealthy, enterprising and liberal. All
that California requires to place her in
the front rank of States is a population
sufficient to develop her wonderful re-
sources Every encouragement should
be given to immigrants. A good wagon
road would go far to increase the immi-
grafton from the Western States to Cali
fornia. A reduction in the passage from
New York would also have tendency to
increase our population. The Society has
our best wishes for its success.

Col. Sam. Mcdary, the veteran editor Of
the Ohio StGtesmGn, the President has
appointed Governor of Minnesota. No
man in Ohio cxertcd a greater influence
nor was feared more by the enemies Of
Democracy, than COL Mcdary. The gal
liant Democracy Of that State had always
the fullest confidence in his honesty, pa
triOtism, judgment and sagacity, and nev-
er did he deceive them. Equal to any
emergency, in times of danger and trial,
"Old SAM" was always selected to con-
duct the campaign. The Ohio boys re-
joicc at his good fortune, but regret the
necessity that compels him to leave the
theatre of his triumphs and usefulness.

the bill to reduce the duties OIL imports,
the House, at the hour of midnight, on

approved it. The National Mtel1igemcer
says, "the measure of reduction is alto
gethcr cOnjcctural, but opinion pre-
walls that it will amount to about fourteen
millions of dollars" The bill goes into

ELIZA MrNRo.-This woman, tried for
the murder Of her child in San Francisco,
a short time since, was acquitted on the
plea of insanity, on Tuesday. Her first
child died some time since, and her death
destroyed the mind of the mother. She
labored under the impression that her
child appeared to her, and she was con-
tinually talking about her. The evidence
was positive that at the time she commit
ted the deed she WAS insane. She is rep
resented as industrious, afFcctionate and
temperate.

DECIDED At LAsT.-Thc United States
Supreme Court have finally given an
opinion in the case of the slave bred
Scott. Chief Justice Tancy pronounced
the decision. Mclean and Curtis dis
scntcd. The Black Republican papers,
headed by the Tribune and Journal, are
attacking it with great bitterness, but 10
argument. The Supreme Court, compos-
cd Of the purest men and ablcst jurists
living, men i'll whom the country has con-
tidcncc, have settled the question, and
the fanatical agi1ators will find it difficult
to convince thc.masscs that the decision
is other than strictly correct. The howl
ing Of the Abolitionists will be unhecdcd.
The decision is a fatal bloY to thcirparty,
and hence their rage.
