GAME.-Sportsmen are reminded not to kill
game at this season of the year. The quail are
now laying, Matching, or in brood, therefore
hunters and others may readily see that killing
a single bird will destroy whole flock. The
same reason should prevent the killing of deer,
hare, rabbits and silver-grey squirrels, which
are also unfit for food at this season of the year.
The Statute provides against the destruction OF
useful game; any parties violating the Game
Laws are not only subject to heavy penalty,
but may be imprisoned. We can hardly con-
ceive how man can deliberately shoot quail
or robbin, as they hoveringly cling to the Vi
cinity of their nest, making the air melodous
with Heavenly music

"GIT, GlT." The citizens of this

"GIT, CIR" - The citizens of this
camp, having patiently borne with the
noise and quarreling of drunken persons,
"until patience ceased to be virtue, y
have at last hit upon an excellent expedi-
ent for ridding town of the annoyance
No sooner does drunken man CD show
himself on the street, than the roofs and
balconies are covered by b'hoys, armed
with buckets full of water, which precipi-
lately cascades down upon the inebriate,
who then removes to some other portion of
the street, in hopes of escaping from the
flood which deluges him; but it is useless,
as no place affords a refuge. Balls, filled
with -four, break upon him, aohite-ing his
hair and binding his eyes. "There is no
rest for the wicked" as the " high-hyer," :"
gets no peace from his relentless pur-
suers, until he is glad to escape from them
by leaving town.

LETTER FROM THIRD CROSSING
KENTUCKY House, March oath, I85

hENIOChI uOCSE, hIdfCu Z4Jl, 100
Mr. Editor:-Being one of the vctimised, who
walked six miles on last Sunday evening to
witness the performance Of the San Francisco
Minstrels-allow me to say that.we have all
voted them notorious humbug. In saving so
but publish the feelings of the miners in this
vicinity, in reference to the imposition of last
Sunday night. These Minstrels visited us,
(hailed as they were with creditable antece-
dents,) under favorable auspices. They adver-
tised, by huge posters, announcing fifteen tai
ented vocal, instrumental and terpsichorean
Artists, commencing way dopn on Billy Birch
and ending up at Mr.. Hooley. The Programme
talked of'' Black Statues" " Rochester Knock
ings," "Hail Smiling Morn" (Sold ogai,,) while
i'd (black) est, riua (nigger) et Ia (humbug)
oane, genus (phzzle homo, mucho fskinned eels)
cdrcjo! &C., might have mentally personated the
feelings of the audience, many of whom were
greatly disappointed at their "nigger luck"
The San Francisco Minstrels NAV have an idea
that anything will do for the mines, even one
horse exhibition of their delectable selves. but
they will find by risking another trip that it is
mistake, and that instead of catching "gulled
miners" Mey may catch a Tartar and feathers.
(this is no pun.) Cutting off portions of the
published programme and performing less than
"on the bills may result in cutting dollars out
Of their pockets.
In order to prevent others from being gulled
we sent telegraphic dispatch to Mokelumne
Hill, to the effect that the performance was an
imposition, which offended one of the Minstrels.
We suggest to the miners, in future, to insist
on making strolling humbugs play all they ad-
vertise. Seven performers are not fifteen and
as for talent? 1t was visible in a less propor-
ton. Red Bar speaks also. GIT!

AcTs-ln to-days paper we publish three
Acts, (Which have each become a law,) passed
by the present Legislature for the benefit of CAL
averas county; the two Acts published on the
nrst page are very important to the Tax Payers
OF this county. The Act to authorize the Board
OF Supervisors to levy Special Tax to redeem
County Warrants, will be found on third page.
The Circular of Attorney General Wallace in
reference to Poll Tax; and a section of the new
Lien Law, for the protection of mechanics, will
also be found on third page; the law has been
SO amended as to make Mechanics Liens pre-
ierred debts to all others except recorded mort

OLD GULCH.-Just about this time a
great rush is making for Old Gulch. This
camp is springing up, so as to be almost a
rival of San Andreas. Every day one or
more flittens, kith and kin, pass through
this camp, enquiring the road to Old Gulch.
A town has been laid out, with broad,
straight streets; reservations for churches,
schoolhouses, public squares, courthouse,
county Jail, &c. We don't see how the
county seat can be removed without an Act
of the Legislature, unless it is taken as it
was once from the Double Springs, IN a
one horse aoagon, while the peoples guar
dians step aside to imbibe. Seriously
there might stranger things happen than,
that Old Gulch would yet be the county
seat; no sane man believes that it will be
allowed to remain at Mokelumne Hill.
within less than a mile of the Amador
line. We go in for calling the new coun-
ty seat "Orendale. 1t rhymes so well
with Old Gulch, that our love for poetry
suggested the beautiful name.

LETTER FROM JESUS MARIA
JESUS MARIA, March 20, 1857.


Mr.. Editor Miners in this locality
are doing well, making from four to fifteen
dollars per day. On Wednesday last, the
company of Oren, Plum & Foley, ON Bos-
ton Flat, in ground-sluicing, picked up
thlrty-fve ounces and twelve dollars; and
on Thursday they set their sluices, and
worked two hours and half and washed
out ninety ounces and three dollars. DR..
Foster, visited the claim this morning and
thinks from the appearance, that they will
be able to take out two hundred ounces
to-day This Flat has long been worked,
with fair success, and the discovery of
this rich deposit will give new impetus
to mining in this locality, and cause many
q vigorous arm to strike with redoubled
energy for the hidden treasure in the hills
around this Camp. Money is plentier than it
has been for two years, and times more
lively and equally as much shooting and
knifeing among the Chileno race R. A.
Wiggens & Co., on Saturday last washed
out twelve ounces. Willmot & Pardner
washed out six ounces and four dollars on
Monday last; these claims are on Jesus
Maria Gulch
Should you think the above mining
news worthy place in your paper, may
write again. D. P.
Write again, it is just such news, from
working miners, that we want.-Eaitor.

FORTY THOUSAND DOLLARS. soon
as Independent raises that amount we
intend to consign it to the San Francisco

which we unwittingly raked without
due credit. At present we lay down our
hand and go no more on that head. We
are done with metaphors, returning to lager
beer, pretzels, &c. We consider the Call

per in San Francisco, since the larger
papers have all gone into sermonizing on

tional Conventions and Flour Speculations

treaty, offensive and defensive.
San Andreas independent., 1857-03-28

RoBBING SLUICEs. - The sluices of
Messrs. Richardson & Co., near Vague
camp were robbed one night this week. It
is supposed about two hundred dollars were
taken. We notice that robbing sluice-
boxes is quite common throughout the
mines. In the North, every camp has a
few such petty thieves, who prowl about at
night for the purpose of robbing sluice-
boxes, stealing chickens, &C.
San Andreas independent., 1857-03-28

REVENUE BILL.-Senator johnson has
introduced a new revenue bill, which, if
passed and its provisions carried out strictly,
will result in great benefit The provi-
sions for the collections of the revenue are
of the most stringent character, but can
not be objected to by those who never
figure on the list of delinquents. It's
great length prevents the publication of a
synopsis of its provisions at this time.
San Andreas independent., 1857-03-28

ANOTHER NUGGET.-Messrs. Charles
Potter, Ferdinand (forty- y-nine) Wrighting-
ton & Co., picked up, on last Tuesday, a
chunk of pure gold weighing over ten
ounces; the claim besides paid well. Last
week three men washed out Of the same
claim between four and five hundred dol
lars. This week water was scarce and
consequently but little gold taken out ex-
cept these ten ounce chispas.

DETENTION OF THE GOLDEN GATE

DETENTION OF THE GOLDEN GATE
The steamship Golden Gate, after meeting
with the accident at Fort Point, returned
and was taken to Vallejo, where she was
hauled on the dock for repairs Three or
four planks of her hull, just forward of
midships were shattered by the rock !;
these were taken out and replaced by new
ones. The whole work was completed by
7 o'clock last Sunday night. The steamer
proceeded to her berth, and sailed for
Panama on Monday morning at o'clock,
after detention of only two days.
San Andreas independent., 1857-03-28

ACCIDENT.-Two men who were blast
ing logs, short distance from Jackson,
on Wednesday last, were seriously injured
by piece of the log striking an axe which
one held in his hand, cutting deep cash
in his knee and thigh. Another piece
struck the other man in the face, knocking
him senseless. Their names are John
Humes and James Jefford.

The PAULLN FAmLY.-During the past week
the Paullin Family performed at the various
camps in this vicinity. They gave two per-
formances at Cave City, two at the Kentucky
House, and one at Old Gulch, Calaveritas and
the Emigrant House. We have heard the per-
formances in each of the above places highly
spoken OF. Miss Louisa Paullin is the star
character of the troupe and better and more
faithful delineator of childish passion, and the
characters which she personates, is seldom
found. Her singing and dancing contributes
much to the merits of the entertainment Mas
which are frequently encored. The Paullin
Family appeared on Saturday night at Knick-
erbocker Hall, to very fair audience

THE NEW COUNTY PRoJEcT. We have
been shown letter written from Sacra-
mento by resident of this county, asking
why remonstrances are not being circula-
ted for signatures against the formation of
the new county of Mokelumne. We are
not able to answer the interrogation of the
writer, and can only state that we urged
the circulation of remonstrances, a week
or more since. Everybody is willing and
anxious to sign document of the kind
above referred to, if it is brought to them
yet none feel sufficient interest in the mat
ter to circulate one for signatures. We
have but little fear of the passage of bill
SO obnoxious to the people of this county
generally, as is the one above referred to,
yet by some hocus-pocus it might be rushed
through without the least notice, and those
who advocated its passage could excuse
themselves by alleging that they were ig-
norant of any opposition to it from our
citizens, inasmuch as not single remon-
STRANGE against It's formation had been
presented.-S. j. Republican.
San Andreas independent., 1857-03-28
senator Gwin.

A friend has forwarded to this office
copy of the Egening Star, published a
Washington on the 18th of February last
which highly compliments Senator Gwin
The paper says:
I" He was indebted for his success to the poL
untayy, minfuenced and un5ouqht surfaces q
those members Of the legislature who voted 70,
him in caucus. In joint convention he received
the votes of every Democratic member of tht
legislature, together with those of two members
OF the American party, who had been instructed
by their constituents to support him. Thus, af
ter years of unprecedented strife and Turmoil
the popular will has been carried into effect b,
his reelection.
The consciousness that an Overwhelming
majority of the people of California have been
with him in every crisis of the fiery ordeal
through which he has passed, has, doubtless
nerved him in the contest; and the pride which
we take it, he feels in resuming his seat in the
Senate, results mainly from the conviction that
his reelection is their triumph over the malign
influences that were brought to bear to defeat
their will"
We never questioned the motives of
those who supported Senator Gwin, in joint
convention-they no doubt acted accord
ing to good judgment and party usages.-
To gain the place he now occupies, we be-
lieve Senator Gwin bargained away his
political sacrificing heritage, pro-
fits and privileges to his confrere. His
card says so, in as plain words as our Con-
stitution says the State debt shall not ac-
cumulate over certain amount Is it
necessary for the Supreme Court to decide
that Eyes means yes, and ono" means
no, before people will believe the plain
English language? 1t would be wisdom
if the friends of Senator Gwin would not
agitate the question at this time. If the
Senator is a wronged man, let him return
and confound his enemies by explaining
his letter it is higher merit to clear
his skirts of the charges of "bargain and
sale" than the duty he owes to his posi-
ton and trust at Washington. His con-
stituents never did require him, without
delay, to repair to his post of duty in the
Senate, as the Star seems to infer, while
the press of the State was ringing with
charges, dishonorable to him as man.
His constituents felt humbled; they were
degraded by that letter; like serfs, they
realized that their most sacred rights had
been bartered away for place and power by
an unscrupulous pair of politicians
Hence, the universal indignation which
that letter (quit-claim deed of the appoint
i've power, } received. We hope the Fed
eral power centered at our national capital,
will at least allow us to read and under
stand, without the assistance of the Wash
ington Press. Poor, benighted California,
must be taught by the Washington Sta,
how to read and understand plain bill of
sale, conveying inchoate rights and privi-
leges. We would be glad to hear Senator
Gwin refute all the charges and explain
the motives which prompted him to write
that letter, " To the People Of Calitor-
MIA"

days, they took out over fourteen ounces OF
pure gold.

enced the removal.
