Under our system it Is never possible to tell eI-

son TO suppose that it Iai be convened some time
in February. Last session closed with very small
majority for the /Administration-sx including
s5tis Bwn votes, on motion of want of confidence.
The & YpOsitOn, however, it must be confessed, do
Dot ap pear to have played their cards TO great ad

only did uot succeed in attaining its object but,
a popular movement, was spoiled by several sue

ton has, therefore, made noyisble way during the
recess while the tone of the Press is certainly
more tolerant of the Administration than il at
the close of the last session.
Winter set in earlier than rsual-abOut the mid

Chinaman Killed.

A Hong Kong man named All Yin
was so severely cut by one of his country
men in Chinese brothel in this place on
Saturday evening last that he died in few
hours. The weapons used by the criminal
were, what are called double swords, two
fitting in one scabbard. A great outcry
was raised by the Chinese over the affair
but with their usual cunning they managed
to spirit the murderer away No white per-
sons saw the act committed; consequent

Amount in Redemption Fund .... s6,96l SO
Saved to the County. .-.-........ 1,43S 40
The Redemption Fund is not only working
we'll for the county finances, but is enhanc-
ing the value Of county scrip. Before the
act creating this fund went into operation,
scrip was worth fitty-6ve cents on the dollar
on the street, and those who performed SER
vice for the county were compelled to make
this sacrifice if they were unable to hold
their warrants until they would be paid in
due course of acceptance; now they bring
II l-2 cents readily, and the tendency is to
higher the figures. The county is also saw
ing a considerable amount per annum by
the Redemption and other Acts passed last
winter; and under their operation the county
debt is steadily decreasing.

News from Salt Lake.

The Los Angeles Star of November 7th,
contains An affidavit of John Hrken, of
Mississippi, who had just arrived from
Salt Lake. The affidavit of Mr.. II. is
made up Of what he saw and heard at
Salt Lake in regard to the intentions of
the Mormons, in case the U. S. authorities
should attempt to reprimand them This
statement is substantiated by other immi
grants recently arrived. Mr.. II. says:
We learn from DR.. Duncan, Surgeon to
Brigham Young's Army, that they had
taken vote at Salt Lake, that, if the U.
S. Army forced its way into Utah, they
themselves would burn their city, towns
forts, ETC., and lay every habitation in ashes;
that they had already picked out secret
places in the mountains, to ''coche their pro-
visions, and make their future abode with
the Indians. The Doctor stated that ar
rangements were already entered into, that
provided the army should enter the set
Elements, every city, town and village in
the States Of California, Missouri, and Iowa
should be burned Immediately; that they
had men to do this who were not known
to the Mormons; and they would cut off
all the immigrants, trains, army stores,
stock, etc.; that no man, woman or child
should hereafter cross the Plains without
being scalped; that they depended on, and
expected the Indians to perform this infer
nal and cowardly part Of their designs.

Daniel claims, was "invoved to considera-

flood. 1t is true that Mr.. Mcdaniel and
his partners lost their hume, and in com

Railroad from Sacramento to Marysville.

The Chief Engineer Of the Sacrament
to Valley Railroad has submitted a re-
port to the Directors of that company of
his recent survey Of the proposed extcn-
sion road from Folsom to Marvsville. The
direct survey is made to Bear river, from
whence two lines are run-one to Ows!ev's
Bar, and the other to Mary ville-trom
W ich the actual terminus is yet to be de-
cidcd upon; but if our MarysvilIe fiit
come forward and subscribe literally, there is
no question but that city will be- as it should,
the terminus j. Mora Moss took a copy
Of the report with him to the Atlantic
States and Europe, and but little doubt
is entertained that he will be able to obtain
sufficient capital to push the work forward
to early completion; together with the
amount that will be subscribed in this
county, San Francisco and Yuba. The
distance from Folsom to Marysville is Al
90 miles. The cost of the first five miles
will be $4,000 per mie or total of $4oO,-
900, including the cost of bridging the
American river, which will be about $780,
900. The cost Of the remaining 81 miles
will be 100000 per mile, a total of l,O5O-
600, making grand total of the entire
cost of the road, sl,45O,OOO, or an average
OF $4,000 per mile. The following is an
estimate of the business that will result
