A ROMANCE ON THE RIVERA MAR
RAGE ON THE Florida ON HER MAIDEN
TRIp.-On the 10Th inst, as the fine
steamer Florida was about starting on her
maiden trip from Omaha to St. Louis, a
tall, gaunt fellow of about twenty-six au-
tumns came on board with a blooming
country girl, of apparently not more than
fourteen gentle summers. He informed
the clerk that she was his sister, and so
limorous that it would be necessary that
they should occupy a state room together.
The clerk saw that their mutual concern
was deeply sincere, and assigned them u
room-one next the captain's-regis,er-
ing them as Mr.. Barbour and sister. The
subject being incidentally mentioned TO the
captain, ]. II. Baldwin, he remembered
that a young lady much resembling his
fair passenger had come on board to see
them away The statement Of the kind
brother that they had no relatives in that
part of the country, and were bound to
Joliet, therefore excited his suspicion. A
plan was formed, which resulted in con-
verting suspicion into certainty.
The captain, whose heart is in the right
place consulted with his officers, and it
was resolved unanimously that the pair
should be welded. The happy i%ntelli-
gence was communicated to the parties in
the most considerate and appropriate man
ner. They were called INTO the cabin and
their mutual delightful destiny unfolded.
The young lady at once rushed TO her fra
%ternal companion's arms with more than
s~lsterly fervor, crying "Oh. jim, didn't
| tell you we couldn't pass for brother and
sisler?" and chung TO him in a transport Of
grief and JOY.
1t was evident that she would perform,
without prompting, her part of the mar
rage ceremony, but he appeared to think
her "too willing" He was however, in.
formed succinctly of the captains ultima.
tum-he must marry her, or one should
be landed one side of the river, and the
other upon the opposite side. To this he
seemed not unwilling TO assent. His
Hero, however, would not trust her Lean
der across the Mississippi. But his re-
l~uctance was overcome by the clerks sol
emn and confidential assurance that the
captain was in a terrific passion, was q
most desperate person, who would sooner
shoot a man than eat, and that he had G
pistol in his pocket, which, it was plainly
to be seen, his hand was burning TO use
The young gentleman, feeling thus CON-
PEELED TO volunteer, explained that he
would have married before starting, bu
that he should have missed the boat, ant
" SO help him God" he would have mar,
ried her in ST. Louis. Arrived at Bruins
wick, Mo, a justice of the peace wa.
summoned, who shortly appeared in tn
ladies cabin, where a circle was formed
with the happy twain in the center, am
they were made one. The bride was tht
beaming picture of delight, he the saint
lier one of submission. Capt. Baldwin
and the clerks-Messrs. johnson and Dill
each gave appropriate advice and kisse'
the bride, whose gratitude was unbound
ed. The boat arrived here on Saturday
when Mr.. and Mrs. Barbour took the car
! for Joliet, having so far fulfilled the rea
sonable expectations Of their friends

Legislative Summary.

Since our last issue, both houses of the
legislature have done an immense amount of
business, yet the main questions before them
do not seem to have been much forwarded.
We extract from their proceedings such
things as we consider will most interest our
readers
In the Senate, Bates, the ex-treasurer,
having refused to plead in answer to the
charges preferred against him, was found
guilty, and it was adjudged and decreed by
the Senate, that said Henry Bates be forever
disqualified from holding any Office of trust
or honor, or profit under the State of Cal
ifornia.
The bill providing for draining the Tulare
valley was passed.
The Sunday Law" was discussed and Or
dered to the third reading. The voting on
it indicates that no law will be passed this
season prohibiting the sale of merchandise on
Sunday.
The bill granting the right to bridge the
river at Sacramento and the bill appropri-
atng $4,000 for purchasing food for the con-
victs in the State Prison, who are represen-
ted as actually starving, passed both houses.
The Assembly have passed the bill redu-
cling the pay Of members, and the Stamp act;
and appointeda committee to enquire after
the Sl24, 600 and other money taken from
the treasury by Bates, with power to send
for persons and papers. The house have
passed resolution to adjourn sine die on the
9th April.
MIR. Seawell has introduced bill to facil-
itate the collection of delinquent taxes in
Amador County.
Volcano weekly ledger., 1857-03-21

Seeding MOVEMENT have Just read
letter from the capitol stating that
numerous petitions had been received in the
lower branch of the Legislature prayisg for
the formation OF new county, consisting of
portions of the counties of Amador, Calaver-
as San Joaquin and Sacramento and that a
bill to that effect would be introduced into
that body the first of the coming week This
new comfy is to embrace Lancha Plana,
jackson Valley, portion of lone, in Anna
dor; Campo Sco and all that section of Cal
averas, and an area of some one hundred
miles in San Joaquin and Sacramento This
vast territory will make an immense size coun-
ty, but its entire wealth and Importance will
consist of Lancha Plana, Campo Seco and the
country laying in and about Buena Vista and
jackson Valley. We are pleased to learn
our representatives in both branches of the
Legislature will strenuously oppose the
movement, as they should. The move has
been conducted with the strictest secree
and reflects credit upon its prime movers for
their astuteness. Among the aoorkers in this
matter may be placed in the foremost ranks of
the secessionists the publishers, editors and
friends of that uneasy sheet the Volcano

opposition to the interests of jackson and
yicnity-are second time endeavoring to
crush us under the heel Of oppression and
injustice. Stung to the quick by the signal
defeat they experienced when low cunning
and false statements failed to remove the
county-seat from this place to Volcano, they
have again launched their bark upon the
troubled waters Of eternal agitation, in the
vain attempt to cripple the people Of this
county, and create for itself county at the
county-seat Of which they may remove their
press, revel in the luxurious laziness of a
county-seat life, monarch of all they sur
yey p The people interested in the welfare
of this county should see that not single
foot of our territory goes into the new coun-
ty.-Amddor Sentinel
The above is characteristic of the Sentinel,
and when it asserts that "among the acorkers
in this matter may be placed in the fore
most ranks of the secessionists the publish
ers, editors and friends of that uneasy sheet,
the Volcano Ledger" it utters a deliberate
fatsehood, intended, if possible, to injure our
paper in jackson and its vicinity. So far
from having had anything to do with the
attempt to form the new county, we never
even heard of the matter until we saw it
chronicled in the Sentinel of the 14th inst

Carelessness of Miners.

w nen VIII miners leuTu u uSe cfen IL coih-
mon degree of care and caution in their
works?
Every day our exchanges chronicle deaths
from accidents in the mines; much the larger
number of which are the results Of careless
ness and in many cases Of fool-hardy expo
sure
Miners should bear in mind that their lives
are more dear to their families and friends
than all the gold they could accumulate in a
lifetime of success. Fatal injuries, in their
effects, are not confined solely to those who,
without warning and unprepared, are uShered
into the presence Of their Maker.
No. Its influence is felt in the sorrow
stricken hearts of wives, parents sisters and
brothers; those who look to one in this far
off land for comfort and sympathy, and it
may be, for the necessaries Of life in after
years.
Death at home, surrounded by friends and
all the kind attentions Of those who love, is
yet sad to dwell upon, and sufficiently affict-
ing to those who are left to mourn.
But a violent tearing asunder of the cords
that bind US to life, and a hasty, unfeeling
burial among strangers, opens the fountains
of anguish in the hearts Of even the most OBJ
durate, and not unfrequcnty hastens to the
grave those whose affections are centered in
the victim of carlessness.
Think of your mother who has watched
your every step with socitude and holy af-
fection that absorbs her fullest being; think
of your father whose hope is in you and
whose grey hairs will be brought in sorrow
to the grave by your being broken of as
branch from the family tree; think OF broth
ers to whom you are linked by thousand
acts of kindness, think Of your sisters whose
reliance on you for protection in your young
days has rendered them doubly dear to you;
and above all, if you have been blest with
the pure love of woman who has given up
the world and all else for you; think of her.
when you are tempted to unreasona5ly expose
yourself.
There are but few so forsaken but that
the happiness Of some other being is con-
nected with them.
Permit no taunts of want Of courage to
induce you to venture beneath treacherous
banks. No cowardice is more paltry than the
ear to do right If you are associated with
hose who can not appreciate due caution.
5he sooner you dissolve your connection with
hem the better it will be for you.
We admire true courage, yet the one who
'sks his life for gold, or ventures in danger
'us places to show his daring, possesses not
he genuine quality. He is merely giIded;
1ut him to the test and he will exhibit the
,ase metal-quail before the shadow of
leath.
In our last issue we recorded the death, by
lccdent in one week, of three persons in this
7icinity and another who escaped by mira
lie, injured for life. We sincerely hope
hese may be the last occurring here

AMADoR ENGINE Cot is to be hoped
there will be a full meeting of the Company,
this evening, at the Empire Hotel, as it is
the determination of the members to perfect
their organization in such manner as to
make their efforts more effective in case of a
fire. In a word, they are determined that
the organization shall not only be "No One"
by name, but number one in fact Citizens
are cordially invited to join. We under
stand that means have already been provided
to liquidate the remaining portion of the debt
standing against the Company, so that new
members need have no fear Of being burthen-
ed with expenses other than the initiationfee
ana monthly dues. Roll up boys, and try
your hands at "der masheen,"
1t will be seen that an Anniversary Ball
is advertised for the Gath April More of

We advise the ladies and gentlemen of
Volcano and vicinity, who may want a per-

Ambrotypes, or Melainotypes; for they are
truly beautiful. You will also find there IA
splendid stock of cases of all kinds and gold
lockets of every style. If you desire any
thing in his line you can not fail to be suited
with his articles So reasonable are his pri-
ces that it is no burden now to send likeness

The Doctor teaches this beautiful art to
any lady or gentleman, for moderate fee,
who may feel disposed to learn His stay
here will be only for a short time.

Sacramento Correspondence.
SACRAMENTO Cry, March 18th, IS

SACRAMENTO CRY, March 18TH, '57.
MEssERs. EDrToRs:-1n yesterdays Sacra-
mento Uason / saw letter purporting to be
the effusion of the brain of some one who
glories in the sobriquet of Wakc-upJake, :"
in which, after giving some acceptable mining
and other news, he winds up by pitching into
the members of the Legislature from your
part of the State, because they have not al
ready spent the $50 appropriated to each
member for postage purposes, and complains
that he has not received the first document,
and hints that the members of the Legsla-
ture should supply their constituents with
newspapers "at the expense of the people"
In answer to all this, You will confer favor
by posting Wake-up-Jake" on the follow
ing facts
1st That $50 was appropriated instamped
envelopes and stamps, and not in cash; and
that the Sergeant-at-Arms Of both houses,
keeps strict and accurate account with each
member and care is taken that no one over
draws his appropriation.
End In regard to newspapers. No member
is allowed more than one copy Of four differ
ent newspapers, and if each member was to
attempt to supply his constituents with files
of papers, the scrip they are being paid for
their services (and which is not worth more
than 80 cents on dollar) would not even
pay their subscription expenses.
3D. Regarding the printing of bills and
documents; there are but few printed, and it
is very rarely that more than $50 copies of
any one bill are printed; sometimes it runs
up to 4S0 but not frequently.
Wake-up-Jake" tries very hard to slur
our present Legislature and exerts himself to
compliment that of last year, but he would
have been wise if he had said nothing, for
every man of sense who knows the action of
the legislature of '57, on our most important
business, will grant that true economy and
justice have distinctly marked its course, and
attempt may be made, to SANDER
it, by any disappointed or rampant Know
Nothing or Republican, it will only rise far
above the contemplate conduct of such SLAM
derers, brighter and purer than before
If Wake-up-Jake" will take advice he
will hereafter be satisfied with the notice
which may be given him by the members of
the Legislature, and not make himself the
laughing stock of the community by getting
off any more such writing as that which
marks the latter part of his letter to the
Union. Yours,

The Stamp Act.

This measure has been before the people
of the State for over two months The Gov
ernor first spoke of it in his message; and
the Legislature in accordance with his recon-
mendation have been for some weeks past
maturing bill that will be the most equal
and just in its operations.
The American people have long associated
with the "Stamp Act" an idea of oppression
and tyranny, owing to the feeling engender-
ed against an act of that name which was in
tended as an engine to coyertly extort taxes
from the colonies who were not represented
in the body which passed the law. As well
might we continue the reputation of tea,
which article was in dsrepute because it was
endeayored to be forced upon our forefathers,
as to condemn the "Stamp Act" for the same
reason.
