RoBBERs ABoUT.-On Tuesday night
last, some thief entered the sleeping room
of Mr. Andrew Seifard, of the Mountain
House, and rifed his pockets of all the
spare cash-some twenty dollars. Persons
should be very careful to fasten their doors
during these times, as we learn the most
daring robberies are nightly committed
In the vicinity of Mokclumnc Hill, seve-

California LEGISLATURE.

The Legislature met on Monday, the
9Th inst, and organized. The House or.
ganized by electing E. T. Beatty, Speaker
VIM. Campbell, Chief Clerk; j. w. SEQ
bey, Assistant; Cyrus Brown, Sergeant-at
Arms; r. Lambert, Enrolling Clerk; O.
Harris, Engrossing Clerk; j. J. Frazier,
Door Keeper. Speaker Beatty madea very
neat and appropriate speech on taking the
chair.
The Senate organized by electing S. ii.
Dosh, President pro tenn; Geo. III. Evans,
Secretary; I. Ward, Assistant; Alexan-
der Hunter, Sergeant-at-Arms; j. c. Ship
man, Enrolling Clerk; John H. Webster,
Engrossing Clerk; John McGlenchy, Door
Keeper. The Rev. Father Gallagher, of
San Francisco, was elected Chaplain, by a
vote of Is to IA.
In the House, motion to elect Chap
lain has been indefinitely postponed. A
motion was made to tender Rev DIR. Scott
the use of the Hall to deliver discourse
on Sunday next (to-morrow); this was
granted by vote of 65 to 13. This is
regarded as test rote on the Vigilance
Committee question, and caused a dispatch
to be sent by telegraph over the State,
"Anti-Vigilance resolutions passed by a
vote of 65 to 49,"
a concurrent resolution to 90 into the
election of two United States Senator's on
Saturday the 10th inst, (to-day,) passed
both Houses
a caucus of the Democratic Members
has been held, and nominated two candi-
dates for the T. S. Senate. On the first
ballot ID. G. Broderick, received 43 to So
ten majority. Chung be the Heavens in
black So to-day he will be elected, as
to the long term; and whoever he says,
will be elected for the short term, which
we expect will be Milton s. Latham-a
good selection-as none have been more
honest or more faithful while in public

OK1(JINAI DEFE( i've

US a fine piece of gold weighing over ounces,
which he intended to send home to his wife
and children, but before morning he had spent
it for whisky. In the morning the sun rose on
one of the most awful scenes of drunkenness, /
ever witnessed; dead (drunk) men and squaws
lay scattered together on every side; all ages,
and nations, and colors, and sexes FELL postrat-
ed by the common enemy, exposed to the in
clemency of the weather -
Did wander darkling in the eternal space,
Rayless, and painless, and the icy earth
Swung blind and blackening In the moonless air
@Each safe suleny apart,
Gorging himself in gloom: no love was left;
All earth was but one thought-and that was DEATH"
Then they lifted up
Their ewes as it grew lighter, and beheld,
Each others aspects-saw, aad shriek'd and fled"
The day previous to.our arrival at this Camp,
Dr. Isbell brought in, for John Murphy, one
hundred head of young, wild cattle, which ne
cessarily had to be Immediately slaughtered to
prevent their escape the cattle were accord
ingly all shot down, and sold as convenience
would offer. Some of the meat was "ierked, y
but most of it was sold to the Indians at six
ounces per quarter. The white miners paying
81 per pound for prime beef
The next day we started on our return to
McKenzie's ranch, swimming both branches of
the Calaveras on our way. We arrived at the
ranch on the oath, none the worse in limb, if
we was in life, having earned $4OO 90 each, in
less than fortnight.

BOARD OF Observation-Disclosures,

BOARD OF SUPERvIsoRs.-Att is
called to the able report of the Board of
Supervisors, published ON first page. 1t
is the first definite report that has yet been
made in relation to our county affairs
Satisfactory arrangements have been made
in reference to county scrip, which will
much enhance the value of our county
obligations. The registry of scrip, and
payment in due order, will be strictly en-
forced, which will do away with much of
the speculation, in certain quarters, here
tofore carried on in county warrants

We are indebted to the publishers, for

liable MOUNTAIN DITCH.-It will be
seen that Mr.. A. B. Laforge, the Lessee
of the Table Mountain Ditch, advertises
that water is now running the whole length
of the Ditch. This fact bespeaks flow
of untold wealth into the pockets of the
miners, and all other classes in this yicin-
ity. The ditch heads high up in the
mountains, in the region of almost perpet-
ual SHOWS; and the heavy fall of snow this
season, will be sufficient to supply enough
water to fill the Ditch greater part of the
coming year. The rich surface diggings
on its line have, as yet, hardly been pros
pected-many places untouched-that will
yield more than fair wages per day to the
man. All the unhappy differences here
tofore existing in reference to the ditch
having been amicably settled by the pur-
chase of conflicting interests, the Table
Mountain Ditch will not be encumbered
with any of the difficulties it had hereto
fore to surmount. The well known liber-
ality of the Lessee, bespeak to the miner
assurances that nothing will occur to mar
the prosperity and harmony of mining op-
erations, where Mr.. Laforge has say or
controlling influence. Hundreds of rich
fats-virgin soil teeming with gold, lie on
the borders of this ditch, to be had for the
working Of them. The gulches, also,
which have only been coyoted by Mexi-
cans, are mostly unclaimed, waiting the
adventurous miners pick to produce ample
reward to toll. But the greatest benefits
will arise from deep diggings worked by the
hydraulic process. In this county, hydrau-
lie mining has not been generally intro
duced for the want of water. By the in
PRODUCTION of this ditch, hydraulic mining
can be carried on extensively. We hear
of several claims that will now be worked !;
at Vague Camp two companies are prepa-
ring their claims for that purpose.
The amount of gold that will be realized
this year in this county is incalculable.-
The past three years piles of dirt have re-
manned unwashed for the want of water,
that will now be cleaned out. All last
summer, valuable carting claims have been
worked, that are already washing out their
di t, several of which are yielding fifteen
ounces per day to the sluice. One pile of
dirt, near town, we know shows such re-
turn, and even better prospect. All the
bitches in this vicinity are now full of
water, and will contribute largely to in
crease the amount of gold weekly sold in
and shipped from San Andreas. One firm
here now purchase from four to five hund-
red ounces per week, and they expect to
double this sum as soon as the miners get
fairly at work and no complaint will now
be heard for want of water, as the Ditch
is flowing full.

ment of Mr.. A. Rosenield, of Mokelumne

a variety of other goods which he sells at

confined IN double irons in the Castle at

TRAVEL Cur OFF.-The depth of snow
between Marysville and Downieyille has
cut off travel to the latter place, in the or
dinary manner.
SALMON RIvER.-The snow is said to
be twelve feet deep on Salmon mountain,
and the only communication between Sal
mon River and Shasta, is by means of snow
shoes.
AEFAIRs IN SHAsTA-Nine inch of
snow fell in twelve hours in Shasta. The
roads in the same vicinity have not been
so bad before within two years.
BAD TRAvELING.-A party arrived in
Forrest City on Wednesday, the last day
of 1856, from Milton, on the Tucker Ditch,
a distance of about twenty-one miles,
Owing to the snow, says the Sierra Dem
ocrot, the party were three days making
the trip. Each man took his turn in
breaking the trail, yet it sometimes occu-
pied four hours to travel mile. The
snow is from FIVE to six feet deep.

The Gold movement outward, during
the past year, presents some features worth
remarking wheL contrasted with that of
former years. The shipments of 1856,
compared with those of 1855, shows an
increase of S5,514,S03 90. OF this sum
the increased shipments to England and
China make up the greater proportion, as
the following comparative figures show:
San Andreas independent., 1857-01-10

1885,. 3S,730, AGA 90

g 1885,. 47,916,44S 90
The export to England in 1856, of 49,
100000 90 more of Gold that in 1856
leads to the inquiry as to its cause. A
portion of the amount was doubtlessly
Foreign Capital, in consequence of the
suddenly acquired high value of money IN
Europe and the insecurity of investments
here. The course of Exchange probably
has at times rendered shipments of treas
ure direct to England more desirable than
to New York.
1t will be noticed that very nearly a
million more of money was sent to China
in 90, than in the preceding year; this is
owing to there having been large amounts
of Dollars and Douboons received here
from Mexico during the past six months,
for trans-shipment to China for English
account. There is a constant demand for
silver in England for China and the East
Indies, and the fact being ascertained that
1t Is saving of per cent. in freight and
insurance as well as of time, to ship from
Mexico via San Francisco rather than via
Southampton, this route has been selected,
and for the future, or, at least, until the
course of trade changes, We may expect to
see the shipments OF treasure to China fig
ure up annually a large total
The exports of treasure to the Atlantic
States, Europe, Panama and the Sand
wich Islands comprise nearly all of the
manifested shipments of Gold Coin and
Bullion the product of California the ex-1
ports to China and other points are com
posed of Dollars and Doubloons received
from Mexico. The annual product of the
California Gold Mines it is hard to get at;
in addition to the manifested shipments of
the past year very large amount of mon
ey has been taken away by passengers, and
a larger one still retained in the State
Those well competent to form an opinion
upon the subject say that there is seventy
millions of dollars produced annually, and
probably that estimate is very nearly cor
rect one.-,S. +. Bulletin.
