MINING.--The mining prospects this
favorite locality continue cheering. From
various reliable sources we hear that a great
majority of the miners, enjoying the adyan-
better remuneration than at any previous
time Clinton is bound to be town of con-
siderable note, and that at no distant day; its
prosperity is based upon the existence of rich
surface, tunnel, hydraulic, creek and quartz
mines in its immediate vicinity, and there are
but few towns that can boast of such a COM
bination of resources. There is plenty Of
room for more miners.
A BUCKEYE DEMocRAr--0ur friend, A. S.
Mckee, Of Clinton, and who is from Au-
glaize Co, Ohio, was Of course highly graft
fed with the result Of the election in bis old
State-Chase being nearly defeated, and the
Legislature being Democratic. On the re-
ceipt of the news, Mr.. Mex. commenced to
celebrate and soon had plenty of Dem
ocrats to help him. They fired seyenty-ive
guns, kept everybody in town awake all
night, and it is said, punished large guam
tity of lager. The redemption of the great
State of Ohio was an event worthy to be
celebrated
MUsIcAL-The Pennsylvanians took
the Clinton folks by storm Wednesday eve
ming. The Clinton people are always ready
to extend liberal and hearty support to a
good entertainment
SHoorING.-M Messrs. Colehower, lyman, and
we believe others (of Clinton) recently re-
turned from hunting excursion in the valley,
having had good time and excellent sue
cess
SENATORIAL" Gen. jackson" received in
Clinton, several votes for State Senator, at
the late special election.

DEAR EDToRs | comply with your re-
quest, by sending you report of our school
exhibition, and few other items connected
with this place.
The exhibition was largely attended, aud
the children far surpassed the expectations
of all who heard them. Their songs and de-
carnations were received with immense ap
plause; and Flora, from her richest casket
I disbursed with bounteons hand, to reward
the fair little maidens The scholars were
kindly assisted by several young gentlemen
Of distinguished talent and ability; aud the
performance (as far as l have learned) /:
spoken of in the highest terms.
Money matters are improving rapidly IN
this place for believe we have some OF the
richest mining claims in .he country, anC
there is plenty of water now with which tC
extract the glttering treasure
The people of this place contemplate Civ
ing ball soon the proceeds of which are tc
be appropriated towards the purchasing of 0
public library
The citizens Of Clinton are not backward
in this matter, and | expect soon to see {
public library established here which will b'
an honor to the place and an incalculable ad
vantage to all who are associated with it,
The young men have literally contributed
towards supporting public school in th
place, and they seem determined it shall con
tinue until spring. The winter term has al
ready commenced.
| would recommend the young gentlemen
to all fair damses who wish to secure goot
companions for life.
Yours in haste, PHI.

The Pound of Flesh.

Will the lower agricultural counties and
the commercial cities nersr cease their demands
upon the mining counties? I? The miners are
the great producing class in the State-with-
out them there would be no money to pay
for the merchants dry goods and groceries
and the farmers produce-yet there is con-
stand effort made TO increase the burthen they
have to bear The San Jose Tribune now
contends that the mining counties share OF
the Foreign Miners Tax should be transfer
red to the State I; but we hope that Senators
and Assemblymen form the mountains will
be on the alert, and act as unit in oppo-
sition to this cow county" scheme. The
miners, it is evident, must depend upon their
own members to defend their rights and in
terests and we have confidence that they
will not be disappointed The press in the
mountains shonld look to this matter
Amador weekly ledger., 1857-12-12
Fighting the Mormons.

]
Many of the papers are speculating as to
the number of troops that could be mustered
in California for campaign against the Nor
mons at Salt Lake. Some say numerous
companies others "a dozen regiments and
so on; while in almost every particular local
ity there are known to be "some" who would
be willing to shoulder the musket. This
county is certainly no exception; in almost
every camp there are those whose souls are
in arms and eager for the fray"
There are many things more unlikely than
that the U. S. Government may at an early
period, call upon California for volunteer
troops to assist in putting down the Mormon
rebellion. Salt Lake can be reached from
California with much greater ease than from
the frontiers OF Missouri; and among the mi
ners of this State, (no reflection upon those
living in the valleys or engaged in other pur-
suits) could be raised volunteer army such
as has never yet been mustered Injured to
hardships, and many Of them driven by hard
luck to almost desperation, they could not
only endure camp life without serious incon-
venience, but they would fight like very dew
lis turned loose AT the tap Of the drum,
the mountains of California would furnish ten
thousand men, if so many should be required,
who would be invincible to any force of treble
their number that could be brought against
them.
The announcement that the Mormons have
committed an overt act of treason by resist
ing a division of the U. S. Army, needs con-
firmation; yet there seems to be little doubt
that it will be necessary to use force Of arms
in putting down the foul heresy and damning
stain upon the morality Of the age which now
reigns at Salt Lake Mormonism is tester.
ing sore, which is collecting, at Salt Lake
City, the ignorance and depravity Of all the
world 1t must be rooted out. The cry Of
persecution" raised by Young and his satel-
ties will not avail. The appeal to our free
Constitution, which guarantees to every man
and woman the enjoyment of their chosen re-
ligion, will not aid them; for it wonld be worse
than mockery to call the poligamy and horr-
BILE blasphemy of the Mormon priests and peo-
pie religion.
Finally, the chances are that powder and
ball, and cold Steel, will have TO do with the
destruction of the Mormon monstrosity in
Utah; and as they will carry on guerrilla
warefore, stimulated by their own fanatcism
and assisted by Indians, there is likely to be
breeze of some magnitude. Patriotic Cali
fornians will most likely have chance
p. S. NEws!-The latest news is that Col
johnson and his command were within three
days march Of the Mormon army, which was
waiting in canon fifty miles from Salt Lake
City. Col. johnson was to advance imme-
diately upon the city, and collision has
therefore taken place in all probability. The
Mormons bad burnt 76 wagons belonging to
the Government contractors. The report
says the Mormon army falls short of 10000
men, who are badly clothed and armed Col
johnson has but small forcc-not enough
to contend against his enemy with much
chance Of success
