following:
Pretty soon the awful announcement
will come up coast like the tones Of Il

been quickly lowered by the gale or
rock, carrying with it to the deep down
sands a multitude of people. But the
steamship company will not mourn with

terrible catastrophe on the Pacific, and

heart rending tidings.
The steamer Central America, for
merly George Law, having on board the
passengers and treasure which left Cali
fornia OH the Sonora Aug. goth, foun-
dered in terrible gale off Cape Hattie
ras on the 18th of September. A storm
came on the Sth of Sept. which contin-

On the 18th the Brig Marine of Boston
hove to under the stern of the steamer.
The women and children were all safe
ly got aboard the brig as also forty one
men. By the time these were safe
aboard the brig it became dark, and the
small boats ceased their trips. A heavy
sea struck the steamer, she gave lurch
and sunk stern foremost, with all on
board. A Norwegian bark succeeded
in picking up forty-ninc of the sufferers
clingine to fragments of the wreck, but
400 had sunk to rise no more.
Among the saved we notice the name

the $4,000 spent to buy and bolster up
the Pacific Express-the SIS, 900 invest

Quartz Prospects-From indications
presenting themselves on every hand,
none can doubt that brilliant future is
dawning upon Nevada. Every day
brings its report of quartz lodges open
ing to the enterprise of man, rich and
inexhaustible. Not day but has its
chronicle of fattering developments of
mineral wealth being disclosed, which
are destined to give permanence and
prosperity to this section of the State.
On all sides discoveries are made, of an
astonishing CHARACTER. An impetus has
been given to research which is bound
to result in incalculable good. So far
have the endeavors of miners met with
the most gratifying success. 1t is rare
nowadays to find an energetic explorer
of hills and mountains in this vicinity
who has not quartz ledge on which he
hangs hope.
The omens are propitious. Our city
is recovering from the effects of the con-
Aagration of last year, the South Yuba
Canal will convey an abundance Of
water to the auriferous hills round about,
which is to flow in continual stream
from this time henceforth to period no
man can fix. The quartz interest has
just begun, but the magnitude of which
is more than foreshadowed already.
With these prospects ahead we can
well cheer up andtake courage. There
are bright signs of better day a COM

THEATRE.-Mrs. Julia Dean Hayne
commenced an engagement al Frisbie' S
Theatre on Wednesday night A good
house greeted the gifted actress, though
the seats were not all full as we expect
ed, which is to be attributed in part if
not wholly to the disappointment the
public has twice suffered in not seeing
Mrs. Hayne as announced. On two oc-
casions owing to unavoidable circum-
stances she did not make her appear.
ance.
The curtain lifted on Wednesday
night for the enactment of the comedy
of the Honey Moon, Mrs. Hayne as Ju-
Llama. To say that the PRESERVATION of
the character of Juliana was complete
and perfect is but to utter the sentiments
of the entire audience. The play is not
to our mind one of the best yet it was
brought out so as to be highly interest
ing and to pass for all it is worth. Miss
Sophia Edwin appeared to advantage
as Volante. This young and charming
artistic has long been favorite with
play goers and not without reason. She
is deserving of such partially. The
modest demeanor of Miss Edwin upon
the stage is in striking contrast with the
bold and brazen air too often beheld in
such places.
The supporting troupe of Mrs. Hayne
is good one. Composed of such char.
acters as Mr. Horton, Walter NJ. Leman
Rand, Dumphries, Kingsland, Mrs Leon
ard, Mrs. Rand, and others of merit, ii
could not be otherwise.
The afterpiece on Wednesday night
was Love and Murder in which Mrs
Leonard as Ninetta was the principal
attraction.
The entertainment of last night open,

concluding with the Irish Tutor. We
go to press at too early an hour to speak

ADDRESS OF THE EXECUTIVE CON-
MTTEE OF VIGILANCE.--The Execu-
tive Committee of Vigilance issued an
address to the General Committee on
the 10th inst, setting forth the reasons
which have induced them to rescind the
sentence Of death passed against the ex-
patriated should they ever return. The
reasons are that great reform in NOR
ais and politics has been achieved, and
the following enumerated benefits have
accrued to the people by the acts of the
Vigilance Committee
"Our elections, on three occasions,
have been peaceable and untainted by
fraud; quiet and order reign in our
streets; virtue is not openly outraged
on the highways; deadly weapons are
no longer publicly displayed and def
antly used; liberty of speech and of the
press is no longer misnomer, or the
cause of bloodshed public plumber is
now neither practicable, nor the object
for which office is sought rigid scru-
tiny into public affairs has been inaugu-
rated, and consistently maintained by
citizens without let or hindrance the
offices of the city and county have been
filled by men of probity, who are the
undoubted choice of the electoral major
ity; ballot-box stufing and fraudulent
election returns are atan end the peo-
pie now have confidence that political
favoritism will not in future rescue the
concicted guilty from the punishment de-
creed by law; the community enjoys a
tranquil repose and hopeful prosperity
This state of affairs, contrasted with
that which existed when your labors
commenced, proclaims the magnitude OF
the triumphs that have been achieved
We believe that the people, happy and
contented under the change, desire that
every cause of future excitement and
possible anarchy should be removed"
The address further states that the
moral power of the community is stron-
ger now than heretofore, and able to
Withstand the presence OF those who
once were potent to produce anarchy
and discord
Besides the committee hatter them
selves that the expatriated will never
return to pollute the city of San Fran
cisco with their pr sence.
1t seems that the individuals who
could shamelessly commit the crimes
alleged against the banished would
have little shame to appear in any So
cicty, and seek to retaliate upon those
who have melted out justice to them, OIL
done them an injury.
The committee intimate that in case
Of an emergency which they deem o.
improbable occurrence, the members
will rally again for mutual support anc

THE FRUIT MARKEr.-The Sacra-

The FRUIT MARKET.-The Sacra-
mento Union says, that, Judging from
the bountiful supply of superior fruit
with which the market is flooded, and
from accounts which reach US from va
rious directions, it is evident that horti-
cultural enterprise has no where in the
world more inviting field than in these
Pacific territories The present season
has been peculiarly prolific in extraor-
binary productions in this department.
Large importations of the choicest fruits
from Oregon and the Southern coast
have been constantly arriving at San
Francisco since the harvest began, and
the Chronicle states that the amount of
grapes and apples in that city never was
larger than now, and the prices realized
never fairer at this season. The same
is substantially true in regard to this
city and other interior localities. Be-
sides the receipts from the sources men,
toned, the market has received heavy
supplies from Sonoma, Napa, Sacrament
to and other agricultural valleys nearer
home. Such facts as these are certain
ly most encouraging to those interested
in fruit culture.

would add another Sieve State to the

NEBRASKA SHAFT.-We visited on


NEBRASKA SHAFT.-We visited on
Friday last, this famed shaft. and on
the invitation of the gentlemanly pro-
prietors, Messrs. Dawley, Mills & Co.,
descended to the realms below. The
distance to the neither regions is hun
dred and ninety-fve perpendicular feet
down a planked shaft. Steam, which
has done much to elevate mankind, is
here employed to sink few of the race
daily. All you have to 10, is to put
one foot in tub leaving the other out
as a guide, to keep you from the sides
of the shaft, take hold of the rope with
one hand, grasp candle in the other,
say the word and down you go into
thick darkness,
Nine times the space that measures night from day
Where gravitation shifting turns the other way"
To realize the depth of the diggings,
you have only to look up out of the
Egyptian darkness to the dim far off
light of the upper world as it comes into
the mouth Of the shaft. 1t seems as re-
mote as reason from loco foco, or
heaven TO an incorrigible sinner I'M
shrived. After having gone zone eye
on it, we commenced in company with
blank" an exploration of the diggings.
Assuming leap-frog attitude and turn
ing faces toward 1.-The mountain we
groped along through a tunnel receiving
an occasional bump on the head from
timbers above, and being obliged semi
frequently to clear the track for the
cars that came laundering along loaded
with dirt that pans out mighty WELL as
we shall presently demonstrate. After
penetrating into the bowels of the earth
about four hundred feet from the shaft
we came to the end of the tunnel where
men were engaged in pushing still fur
Their on. All along our route we saw
evidences of the outlay of large sums of
money. Tunnels had been attempted
in various directions, but bringing up
against impossible wall, of rock had
after much labor been abandoned. The
main tunnel runs through a solid ledge
for long distance, after passing which
good dirt was struck, paying sometimes
thirty five ounces to one set of timbers,
or four feet III length Of tunnel. Some
idea of the richness of the dirt and the
expense the Nebraska company have
incurred, may be formed from the fact
that more than S75, 900 have been taken
from the claims, by far the larger half
of which has been spent in prospecting.
The claims now, however, present
enough pay dirt in sight to occupy two
years in removing with a comparatively
trihing expense, and still the prospect
grows more tlattering the farther the
work proceeds. Holding candle to
the gravel was "lousy" with gold. A
handful bought to the surface, yielded
81. The lead is about sixty feet wide,
and is interspersed with soft granite
boulders, leaving spaces filled with dirt
Of the very richest quality. Good air is
communicated to the miners at work by
means of tunnel parallel with the
main one.
The company have another shaft,
going down short distance from the
Nebraska, on which an engine is about
to be erected. 1t is in contemplation
to erect set of stampers to crush the
dirt from both shafts by and by. Some
of the richest gravel is cemented very
compactly, and will have to be treated
ike quartz before its gold can be OBJ
tanned.

fellow has now hard scratching to live.

lars this year.
The Nevada journal., 1857-10-23

GoUGE EYE.-A few days since we
took an ambulance for place about six
miles distant, rejoicing in the euphoni-
Gus appellation of "Gouge Eye" The
diggings in this new locality have of
late attracted considerable attention,
and we proposed to ourselves a treat in
examining them. We found town
springing up with rapidity known on
ly to the mining region. New houses,
considerable number, were seen, some
already finished and occupied, but more
in process of erection. The noise of a
dozen hammers resounded through the
town, the monotony of which was some
what relieved by handsaws and an an
vii. There are two saloons in the
place, a blaeksmith's shop, butchers
shop, boot and shoe store, and several
grocery and provision stores under way
or getting ready for the approaching
season. There is also a hotel and sta
BILE in the burg, we believe, though the
hospitality of the host we did not test.
But there is little remarkable about
the town, or if there is, we did not look
for it, being intent on seeing the dig
gings. These are fonnd to consist of a
lead of blue gravel at from sixty to a
hundred feet below the surface, of ex-
ceeding richness. The lead runs near
ly north and south, is of hard cement,
and has to be crushed before washing.
The most noted claims are those of the
Eastern company, which are the longest
worked of any. We understood these
claims yielded about $4,000 per week
when worked, but of the truth of the
report we cannot vouch. But of GER
tainty men have been known to make
good sizeable piles out of the ground of
the Eastern company. There was no
one at work on the claims at the time
of our visit. The company have a mill
driven by water, over the shaft, which
elevates the dirt and drives number of
stamps to crush it. The wator from the
wheel is then used in the sluice.
The Gouge Eye company adjoins the
Eastern on the north. We here found
a number ofmen engaged in lifting the
dirt with a windlass and pounding it ON
block with sledges. We were inform
ed the pay was about eight dollars per
day to the man, though six men were
working in tunnel the company were
running to the diggings, where no gold
was procured. We saw a rich specimen
of dirt from these claims.
The Alpha shaft, still further north,
promises exceedingly well. A steam
engine is on the ground and about be-
ing put up to work the diggings. The
Sebastopol shaft, also, is worked by
steam.
But few companies have got down,
but enough is already known to justify
the expectation of rich and extensive
diggings. The lead is one of the kind
that never fail, and may be said to offer
splendid opening for enterprisirg mi
ners to trace it far beyond the classic
precincts of Gouge Eye.
