FINANCIAL TROUBLE. Nevada county
seems to be in a fix in regard to financial
matters 1t appears that W. W. Wright,
late Sheriff. at the time Of his death had
collected about SO 600, which was not paid
over to the Treasurer. The District Attor-
ney proceeded against the suretles Of the
deceased officer, to recover the amount Of
taxes unacconnteI for, and against the ad-
ministrator of his estate, compelling him by
Injunction. to deliver up to the Court three
bags of money, amounting to about $4,000.
The Administrator, however, expects to dis
solve the injunction.

INrEMPERANcE.-The Troy Times tells
sad story Of the destruction of young and
lovely woman, by intemperance. A few
months since, young lady of one of the first
families Of that city was married to a New
York merchant under circumstances most
auspcous for the happiness of both. Late
ly, she returned to her home in Troy, dis
carded by her husband on account Of her
mania for intoxicating drinks, and in a few
weeks she died of brain fever. induced by
her habits. The father Of the young lady
mas been called upon, within three months,
to mourn the death of q wife and daughter
by intoxication and n son, once noble and
manly, whose highest nature has been per-
yerted by the same cause.

SWAMP LANDs-Mr. Johnson, Senator
from Sacramento, has introduced bill in
relation to these lands, which opens to public
entry all the lands excluded by the former
law, lying along the banks of the Sacra-
mento, and in the neighborhood Of all the
towns and cities north Of the Bay. 1t re-
serves one hundred feet on each side Of the
Sacramento river for levees and public
highways. 1t brings large quantities Of
these lands into market, now excluded by
law, and will, doubtless, prove beneficial
both to settlers and the State.

permitted his farm to run to waste for three

TABLE Rock, Jan. %, 1851.

'Tis distance lends enchanimrnt to the view.
And robes the mountain III lts azure hue
As we sat upon the brink
OF yon lofty plain,
Where storms and winds have battled Ger
A thousand years, perhaps, or more;
Upon whose rugged sides,
Old Time has set his seal
We felt elate;
Enchanted spot Enchanted view
And whilst the rosy morn the east did gild,
Man 10 his daily avocation rose.
A world of busy life and hum,
Was heard below, where Ophir stands;
The busy hammer, and cutting saw
BY steam impeIled, were heard
Upon the morning air.
But hark
From yonder gorge "A ceaseleSs roar comes
Subllmest music! On the summit
OF this lofty plain, thousand years have
And listened to thee. [dwelt,
Though man, through avarice,
Thy silver tide has stained,
Yet thousand years to come,
Thoul 1t ceaselcss roar, enchained.
But leaving thee,
Our gaze to the westward turns;
A sea OF log envelopes all DelOW
This lofty pile, the Buttes.
And blue Coast Range, with snowy peaks,
Are all the eye can see OF earth
Thou Buttes
No other compare can | make of thee,
Than beautiful islet, sprung from enchanted
sea;
4 deep mellow fog, around thy sides, lies
hcaped,
And through thy valleys, with noiselfss step
has crept.
Standest thou amid its golden waves
Like ISLES, beyond, the Pacific laves.
Bot now, the sun
One half his daily course has run, and from
A nap wake gentle breeze up, sprung
Has waited far away the feecy clouds.
From the top of this, the "Table Rock,'
we have one Of the grandest views IN the
country. Our own curiosity led us to take
a walk to its summit, which, as eXpecsed,we
found as level as floor. The trip which is
out n few minutes walk from Oroville, will
we'll repay any one fond of the sublime. The
meanderings of Feather river through the
scanty timber that borders its course; the
vast valley, that lies spread out trOn its
base, as far as the eye can see to the south /;
and the lofty mountains, in almost every di-
rcetfon, in the distance, snow capped with
dreary winter, fill the mind of the beholder
with sublimess emotion De MEDICL

PETITION FOR CoMpENsATioN FOR DAM
AaEs.-Wo learn, says the San Francisco
Sun, that j W. Sullivan, the Prince of
newsmen in California, has issued printed
petition to Congress for indemnifcation to
the amount of $12,35l 70, for losses sus-
tained in his business by the repeated fail
ures of the Great Southern Mail between
New Orleans, and San Francisco. BY the
sworn statement annexed 10 the petition, he
shows an actual loss of cash to the above
amount, paid out for papers which did not
arrive here, through the repeated failures of
this mail, Cor weeks and sometimes monthe
after they were due. This loss is owing sole
ly, lie AYERS, to the non. compliance Of the
mail contractor to fulfil his contract with the
Posto!ice Department, hence he believes that
he has legal and equitable claim upon Con-
qress for the loss he has sustained, and Pc
titions for indemniication. IL is to be hoped
that Congress will afford him justice in the
matter, and giant him such relief as honor
and good faith may dictate. Mr.. Sullivan
has struggled long and arduously in his bu-
siness here, merlting and receiving the re-
spect and confidence Of all who know him.

HARD TIMEs.--The times which. tried

cent. is paid on short time This in coan-
try which is shipping upwards of fifty mil
lions of gold year, is certainly a very un-
fortunate and remarkable state of things.
