From Tehunntepec.

The following letter, brought from Aca-
pulco by the John L. Stephens, was tele-
graphed to the Sacramento Union from San
Francisco on Friday night;
CLIPPER SHp CLIMBER,
Harbor La Ventosa, May /, 1873
EDITORS UNIoN-This Harbor, the west
ern terminus of the Tehuantepec route, is
anything but safe for vessels at this season
Of the year, forming half circle to the
north 1t is entirely unprotected from the
heavy swells and southerly winds which pre-
vail from March to October.
We saw the wreck of the schooner Mary
Taylor in entering the harbor-vessel a total
loss-cargo saved, in bad condition. The
Climber made very narrow escape After
lying at anchor thirty six hours, she parted
cable, but with active handling was got of
before striking Lost anchor and chain
We are now heading for Acapulco, finding
it impossible to obtain water and provisions
from beach. The Tehuantepec route as
an avenue Of transit, possesses many adj
vantages which the public can never enjoy
until n brcakwater is constructed in the
harbor of La Vantosa. Nature seems to
have provided for this. as the Mora lie Car
bon the western point of the harbor. is com
posed of good hard rock, and the work, for
Its magnitude, could be accomplished at
! light cost
The operation of Messrs. Soo & Co., pro-
prietors of the route, seem not to have been
conducted with much mercy, as little has as
yet been accomplished The work is at pre-
sent suspended, and if the route is ever
opened by the present directors. it is fair
presumption that it will not be done for the
II next twelve months
Tehuantepec city possesses fine climate,
and is rather desirable place OF residence.
The buildings are mostly of brick, covered
with white cement, and are exceedingly
airy and cleanly. Its population numbers
about l. 900

Later from the Sandwich Islands

BY the schooner Gen. Morgan, which ar
rived at San Francisco May 18th, from the
Sandwich Islands, we have Honolulu papers
to April 10th.
RUMORED MANsLAUGHTER AT SEA.-Ihe
Commercial advertiser mention that con-
siderable excitement was produced among
the natives, by the arrival at Honolulu, on
April 18th, of the whaling brig Agate, from
a cruise on the California coast.
1t appears that while the vessel was cruis-
ing for whales in Marguerite Bay, native
seaman was ordered to work by Capt. llo-
man aud refused duty, when the Captain
i1,ed him in the abdomen From the effects
of this treatment he too tainted away, and
IA bucket of water was thrown on him which
revived him.
1t was soon found that the injury he had
received was mortal, and he was taken into
the ca hin, where restoratives were applied,
but with no effect. He died in about eight
hours after. Capt. Homan gave himself up
to the American Consul, who has been en-
gagged several days investigating the affair,
the result of which we have not learned
FEARED LOST Fears are entertained
for the safety of the schooner kamamuIa.
She sailed from Hon olutu for llilo on the
18th March, and touched at Lahiana; since
when she has not been heard from. 1t is
thought she must have capsized in the Ha-
waii channel, or drifed out OF sight Of land
probably to the southwark of Hawaii
She had on board about seventy native
passengers, two Chinese merchants and was
we'll loaded. She had also the mail
of January Goth. Ought not the Hawaiian
Government says the .HduerttseT, to charter
vessel to 90 in search of her? 1t would
be "A much wiser course TO do so, than to send
of on the wild goose chase for guano on
Bird Island.
KAMHHAMEHA SEEKING FOR GUANc
His Hawaiian Majesty. kamehameha the
fourth, has saisd ON the French corvette
Eurydice, on an excursion to Bird lslal Il,
hunting tor gnano. Canoes have been taken
along to land. The corvette was expected
to be absent ten or twelve days.

q uartz Operations.

This description of mining is attracting
much attention in this county, owing to the
recent discovery Of rich and extensive
quartz ledges, and it is believed that they
can be made to yield as fair profit, and as
sure n return for the investment necessary
to work them, as other descriptions of min
ing. In earlier times, when labor and ma
terial commanded a much higher price than
at the present time, many quartz operations
proved bad investments. 1t was so with
river operations in earlier times but an
experience of several years has demonstra-
ted the fact that both river and quartz ope-
ratons may be successfully engaged in.
The expense of the heavy machinery re-
quired for quartz mining, has been the
principal hindrance to operations Of this
character. None but the richest leads
were ventured upon, and many of these
have failed to pay the expense Of working,
aud the ruinous rates of interest, demanded
by men who have furnished the necessary
capital. The lodges have been worked in an
imperfect manner, with the hope of securing
immediate means TO meet the steady and
constant demands of interest and usury,
and have generally failed. The labor has
been directed by agents, and not by men in
interest, whose experience would qualify
tions, was the capital invested their own,
and not called upon for immediate returns.
Companies in this county, who have engaged
in quartz operations upon their own capital,
and have been left free and untrammeled
in the direction of their investments and la
Dor, have proven the fact that this descrip-
as certain to render fair return to proper
Investment All descriptions of mining, as
well as other kinds of business operations,
have failed from being taxed to meet the
the steady and constant demands of a high
rate Of interest, on the amount Of capital
invested, and will, doubtless, continue to do
80 1t is to this, that we attribute the many
failures that have attended quartz opera
tons in California.
In the new impetus lately given to quartz
operations in Butte county, it is to be hoped
the capital invested will not be procured
from foreign sources a; high rates of inter
est. Let companies be formed of resident
miners, who can have the entire control of
the capital invested, and of the labor en-
ployed, and quartz operations will prove
as successful as placer or river mining

SATURN TO BE DELUGED.-The discovery
has recently been made that the rings en-
circling the planet Saturn are of recent or
igin and composed of water; and that in
the course of twelve years they will "close
in," and the before mentioned planet will
experience a very "heavy wet similar to
''our" deluge Humanity of course, will
create great deal of sympathy for the un-
fortunate inhabitants of that planet, but
as we have no means of assisting them we
might as we'll rest easy on the subject.

CLIPPINGS

BADLY SoLD.-One of the earliest hob
bies OF "A certain political patty, was to add
to the ordinary qualifications of voters the
ability to read, aud after working long and
hard they secured the adoption of this plan
in Connecticut. 1t was Intended to cut off
large number of naturaliZed voters; but
great was their chagrin to tiod that the lam
guage n man must read is not named, and
the Courts decide that the law admits all
who can read whether in English, German,
Hebrew, Irish, Choctaw, written or printed

EXTRAORDINARY ACQUITAL The Los

was acquitted by the jury before the Court

the main facts of the case as regards him.
This appear, still more strauge when it is
known that the prisoner had confessed to
the officers his participation in the crime,
and what disposition had been made of the
booty. But the confession was not legally
before the jury.
