GOLD Bar, SOUTH YuBA RIVER Jan. !, 1857.
MEssRs. EDrToRs AS the election
is over and the Democracy is again tri-
umphant in the election of the National
and State Officers, it may not be amiss
to inform you of the mining operations
going onin these diggings. On this Bar
there are three companies. Messrs Drew
& Co. have been very successful, and
they have taken out to the hand $40 per
day, for the past three months, but the
recent rains have vetoed their operations
for the time being.
Messrs. Gardner, Oldham and Ball &
Co.. Of the Gold Bar Mining Co. had been
in full blast Cor the last four months, and
have worked out largo piece of ground
which yields them an average of IS per

BENEFIT By reference to an ad-
vertisement it will be seen that Mr. J.
N. LANGDoN, the Nevada favorite, will
take benefit on tomorrow Saturday
evening, at the Theatre, on which oc-
casion several gentlemen well known in
Nevada will make their first appearance
on any stage. We also learn that Mr..
Langdon will be presented with mag

As there will be a fine bill, and as Mr.
Langdon has been ever ready to voluh-
teer on every occasion for the benefit OF
others, it would be matter of justice
that he should have full house, on tbs
occasion of his benefit; and we woul Id

his friend J. A. Higgins. They have

STREET FIGHT.-A bloody rencoun-
ter took place on Commercial street, on
Wednesday afternoon, between two hos
tile parties, whose names we have not
been able to ascertain. We are sorry to
learn that the crowd of persons who i'm
mediatel y assembled on the spot took 70
steps to stop the quarrel, but rather
seemed desirous that the fight should
go on. No serious damage was done,
as deadly weapons were not resorted to
in the affray. The parties, however,
appear to have made pretty good use of
all the means of defence and offence
which nature had given them, for one of
them had his ear almost entirely bitten
off by the other. The fight lasted sew
eral minutes-the combatants sometimes
standing up manfully face to face, and
sometimes rolling together on the soft
ground; until finally one of them hav-
ing been undcrmost for considerable
length of time, and being nearly smoth-
cred by the liquid earth, gave utterance
to certain ambiguous sounds, which the
bystanders took to be an equivalent
for the pronunciation of that "horrible
word craven" whereupon the spectators
mercifully pulled off the victor, and the
vanquished hurried away, limping and
bloody. We are not able to give either
of their names, but the victorious party
had broad brass collar around his aeck,
which materially protected him from the
assaults of his antagonist.

DEPTH OF Snow. - We learn that
some gentleman measured the snow on
the ridge opposite Omega, on Monday
last, and found it to be fifteen feet deep.
At Skillman's mill, two miles this side
of Alpha it is eight feet. At the mouth
of Kidd & Whartenby's tunnel, on the
Yuba ditch, the show is 12 feet deep.

DR. KaNE.-This deseryedly eminent

DR. hANE.-l MS ueSefVeuly eminent
man is now on a visit to England, to ten
der to Lady Franklin his services to take
charge of another expedition to the
Northern Ocean in search of her mis-
sing husband. Though still suffering
from the effects Of his last perilous voy-
age, with a generous self-forgetfulness
worthy of himself, he now offers to un-
dergo the same dangers again, in the
service of humanity and science, and in
the almost hopeless search for his lost
companion in fame.
There is no man living, whom we as
Americans may be more justly proud to
call countryman than DIR. Kane. We
have men whose names are oftener upon
the lips of the world, but we cannot recall
one so worthy of regard for the noblest
qualities of manhood-courage, endur-
ance, unselfshness; and united with
these, a high order of intellect, and high
attaiEme ents in science Tie Grinell ex-
pidition to the Arctic, in the fruitless
search of Franklin and his comrades is
lasting monument to the fame of DR.
Kane. The history of this expedition is
not the record of occasional dangers and
sufferings, but of suferings prolonged,
continuous, of dangers always impend-
ing-for the untiring elements were the
foes with which the fearless voyagers
were forced to contend. The courage
of the soldier is common quality
Even coward can face foe manfully,
with armies looking on, and all the pomp
and circumstance of glorious war to
excite and nerve him: bit DIR. Kane
and the hardy band of explorers his
companions, were sustained by no adven-
titious aids in the perils which they en-
countered. In single little bark, far
beyond the utmost limits within which
the commerce Of the world has fixed its
path upon the Ocean, in the midst of
dangers continually threatening, and in
comparison with which the perils of bat
tie are innocent-the dangers of ice.
bergs and the terrible Arctic storms
always suffering from cold-often from
disaese, during two long polar nights,
for six months at time not single ray
of blessed sunlight visiting them, and
for two long years not the face of a
friend to gaze upon, except the familiar
faces of companions in peril-the gal
liant little band pursued their errand of
humanity faithfully and well.
AT whatever cost of labor or suffering
to himself, DR.. Kane never faltered in
the pursuit of his paramount object, the
search for the lost Franklin, or of that
next important duty, the addition to the
science of the world. Though the main
object of the expedition was not accom-
plished, that effort cannot be called a
failure which exhibits to us so truly no.
BILE and beautiful a character as that of
DIR. Kane. Again we say there is no
man living whom Americans may be so
justly proud to call their countryman.
