Mining in Nevada County.

If we were to undertake to give all
the instances which have come to our
notice, in which miners are doing re-
markably well, our paper wouldn't hold
them Throughout the whole of Neva-
da county, the mines are paying exceed
ingly well, and are being worked more
extensively than at any former period
in the history of the county. This is
the first season since 1852, in which
there has been an abundance of rain.
But in so, not one fourth the number
of diggings were opened as are now be-
ing worked. At that time, too, there
were but few bitches completed, and
water was conveyed to but few locali-
ties Now, however, owing to our
great ditch facilities, large portion of
the running water in the county, is di-
verted, and used in mining For the
first fine, there is water enough in
nearly all parts of the county to use
the hydraulic to advantage, and undel
its Influence hills are paying richly
which have never before been worked.
We know of many hill diggings that
are now paying from $50 to $50 per day
to the hand, which a year or two ago,
had not been prospected. All talk a.
bout the exhaustion of the mines, so far
at least, as this locality is concerned, is
nonsense The mining business of Ne
vada county increases in an exact pro-
portion to the increase of the supply of
water. When all the water that can
possibly be got, shall be brought by
capitalists to our mines, then the busi-
ness of mining will reach its ultimatum.
The power to increase our supply of
water, may some day be exhausted -
the capacity of the mines to yield gold,
never AT least this generation needn't
be alarmed about it.
All persons who are acquainted with
the mines of Nevada county, are con-
vinced that they will yield more gold
this year, in the aggregate, than has
ever been taken out before in any one
season.

Serious Accidents at Forest City.
FOREST CITY, April S.

Henry Tucker, formerly of New
Hampshire, was seriously injured yes
terday in the Monumental Tunnel at
this place. No hopes are entertained
of his recovery. His spine is broken,
and the lower extremities are complete
ly paralysed. He appears to be fully
conscious of his condition.
Henry Eastman, about l o'clock last
night, was carght by the shaft of the
Tumana Engine, which revolves al out
two hundred and forty times minute
He was carried around by the shaft a.
bout 25 times. when his clothes which
were caught gave way and freed him.
His shirt and pants were left wound
around the shaft so tightly that they
had to he torn off. Where his foot
struck TIE floor when carried over, the
boards, which were two inches thick,
were broken and kicked away, which
we'd his life, if lie survives. His at
tendant physician, DR.. Lefevre enter
tains strong hopes of his recovery

of this same Mr.. Buchanan, whom he
had just finished denouncing, as if he
had assisted to elevate him. What diff
ference is there between the Buchanan
of to-day and the Buchanan of the cam
paign? None in the world, except that
he is more powerful, and able to reward
or punish. What else has Mr. Foote
seen to change his mind ? He no long
er, to be sure, lies like a dead man,
stretched out on the Cincinnati platform,
but he stands up upon it. and solemnly
endorses it, and swears by it, and re-
iterates it, before all the world, from
his high official position Is Foote no
longer opposed to that platform? Mr.
Foote pretends that the inaugural has
changed his views, and that it is sufi-
cient to justify his support of every
thing that may be done during The
whole administration. He even has the
recklessness to assert, that it is con-
sistent with American principles. He
says there is nothing in it which he, as
an American, has " not been gratifed to
read" Let us look at one or two Of his
most glaring inconsistencies.
The American party has always been
opposed to the repeal of the Missouri
Compromise, and we have heard Mr.
Foote repeatedly denounce the Nebra :
ka bill, as a destruction of the "fnali-
ty" of the compromise of 1850; the in
augural endorses the Nebraska bill, and
the repeal of the Missouri Compromise
yet Mr.. Foote has been "gratifed to
read" it.
Again, the American party has al
ways sought to check foreign influence,
and to confde Offices of trust, as much
as possible, to native born citizens
The inaugural goes further on the other
extreme than any paper that has ever
appeared in the country. 1t says that
foreigners, after being naturalized,
should be "placed on perfect equality
with native born citizens - thus rem
dering an amendment to the Federal
Constitution necessary TO carry out its
doctrine Yet Mr.. Foote says he has
"been gratifed to read" it.
But we have nc room to pursue fur
ther this miserable attempt at excusing
what is inexcusable We shall not be at
all surprised. if thrift follows this fawn-
ing. If old Buck sends him as Minis
ter to Nicaragua, we shall be highly
"gratifed TO read" of it.
These jockeying politicians. who
laugh at honesty, and are dead to shame,
may occasionally succeed for season; );
but it is a consolation to know, that no
matter what position they may attain,
they will be followed by the scorn Of
the honorable and high minded men of
all political parties.

FOOTE'S LETTER.

Hon. Henry S. Foote, formerly U. s.
Senator from Mississippi, and more re-
Gently an aspirant for the same position
from California, has published card,
announcing his withdrawal from the
American party. This leaves the men,
bers of that party but one thing to re-
gret in the premises, viz: That he ever
joined it. He foisted himself upon the
party assumed as much as possible a
self constituted leadership compelled
it to pack the dead weight of his own
political bankruptcy - and prevented
younger member of the party, great
er, and nobler, and better man, from
being elected to the U. S. Senate; and
having done all he could to draw its
freshness and fullness into the empty
veins of his own decrepid and worn out
political reputation, he very coolly
plays the traitor in its hour of trial, and
hurrahs in the ranks of its enemies
May the traitors doom be his; and be-
holding the Ito him) heaven of public
Office, may he ever feel that hell of pri-
yate life, in which he wiggles and
twists with such feverish and fantastic
contor.ions.
Foote'S withdrawal would be mat
ter of but little Importance in itself (for
but few ever suspected that his profess
ed attachment to the American party
was sincere) if it were not for the proof
it gives of the self abasement which a
certain class of politicians will exhibit
before the public. Gwin openly told
the people that he had sold out to Brod-
erick; and now Foote openly tells the
people that his bitter denunciations of
Mr.. Buchanan and his party during the
late campaign was all CANNON, and that
he only took that course because he
thought the American party would sue
ceed and he be elected to the Senate
1t is said that the ancient Greeks, had
but little objection to stealing, provided
the thief escaped detection; but, i
seems, that in California men can per
petrate acts of glaring dishonesty, ant
Then tell of it, without fear, and will
mpunity.
The reasons which Mr.. Foote givei
for this step are weak, inconsistent in
congruous, false, and pitiably abortive
We speak of them not as reasons which
might be given by democrat who had
supported Mr.. Buchanan from the first
but as coming from one who made it hi.
especial business to oppose him. Du
ring the late campaign he denounced
Mr.. Buchanan, and the democratic par
ty-and the Cincinnati platform, and
the repeal of the Missouri compromise
and every thing connected with the de
mocracy, before an hundred public
meetings, and whenever, and wherever
he could get an audience. He told the
people that the inevitable tendency o.
Mr.. Buchanan's election would be tC
aggravate our sectional difficulties, and
weaken the bonds of that Union which
he, with the assistance of Clay, and
Webster, and Cass,) once saved. Now
however, the election being over, and
democracy triumphant, and there being
no imminent probability of the Ameri
can party being able to do anything fol
him, he very complacently tells us tina
he intends to yield "as hearty and tru.
a support to the entire adminintratior

the whole democratic ticket. The re-
publican vote was exceedingly slim
the peoples ticket ran considerably

have beaten the democracy. The
American party is the only one that has
ever contended successfully with the
demc cracy in this state; the republicans
and the peoples party are making a

THE CABINET.

L
trying to wiggle themselves into the
democratic party because they think it
strong, are in the habit of saying a
great many favorable things of the eff
ciercy of Mr.. Buchanan's cabinet
+" Regular" democrats, of course, think
it the best one ever got together.
Now, the fact is, that so far as the
character and ability of the men compo-
sing this cabinet are knoaon, it gives but
Httle promise of being an efficient ore
There has scarcely been cabinet since
the days of Washington, in which there
were so few men Of established reputa-
ton. These men may turn out to lie
efficient officers; but what propriety is
there in blowing about The efficiency of
men in whose past history there is no
evidence of their future eminel ce p
We heard a democrat, the other cay,
talking confidently about the peculiar
fitness Of Mr. Plummer Of Penn, for
the position Of Post Master General
but, upon close inquiry, we found he
had never heard of Mr. Plummer, until
lie saw his name in the list of cabinet
officers.
Mr Cass has always ranked as first
class man. and 50 far as ability is con-
cerned, undoubtedly is; Nj. Cobb has
for a long time, stood well before the
country; but as for the rest, they are
neither first nor second class men, and
most Of them have 10 national reputa-
ton at all; their peculiar ftness for the
highest positions in the government OF
"A great Nation, remains to be seen.
Almost the entire respectability of
his cabinet seems to rest with Mr. Cass.
This ser teman although a man Of un-
questionable talents, is almost too old to
take upon himself more than lis equal
share Of responsibility. lie IS man Of
o, iginal IDEAS, but apt TO be erratic III
his notions. He is calculated for the
Senate, where his opinions can he chas-
tened and purified by the oldeal Of de-
bate, rather than for an administrative
position, where lie must act, at once,
upon the suggestions Of his own mind
lie is speculative, and often advances
doctrines which are not adopted by his
political f.ieuds For instance, in rela-
ton to the question of legislating foi
the Territories, he has gone much far
ther than lis party taking the posi-
ton that the people of the Territories
ale entirely wi hout the pale Of The cai,-
stitution. and that Congress has no
power over them, in any respect. lie
is the only advocate Of reH squatte
sovereignty in the country. AID, then,
upon the subject Of war he is partially
insane, and, in all probability, will so
manage our foreign affairs, as to involve
us in quarrel with somebody. He can
see, or smell, casus belh, when nobody
else can notice any signs of it. He
once said, in the Senate, that we ought
to get up a war in order to show the
world how we can fight. Altogether,
we don't think he is peculiarly well
qualified to be the leading man of
cabinet
Mr. Cobb will, no doubt, make re-
spectohle Tieasue er
As to the rest, as soon as they distil-
gIish themselves, we'll let our reader,
