his -NppOintmcut of federal officers fol
California has displayed the same wisdom
! and sagacity that has characterized every
public act of his life. The appointment
Of Col. Il. F. Washington to the Collector
ship of the Port of San Francisco, meets
with the heartfelt and unqualified appro-
val of the Democracy ofthiSp.acc. Thcr,
is not gentleman in or out of California
| who is more worthy Of being the rtcipi-
cnt of federal patronage than tho noble
hearted and gifted Frank Washington
the peoples iavoritc. lie has ever been
guided in his political career by those
patriotic and conservative principles
taught and pCactiScd by Jefferson, Mon
roe, jackson, Polk and the other great
lights Of the Democratic party. In the
late Presidential contest, there was not a
man who contributed more to the election
of Buck and Brcck" than Col. Washing.
ton. lie was ever found doing good s,r-
vice wherever the Democratic party most
needed valiant soldier. lie will not on.
~ add lustrc AMI dignity to the station,
but his appointment will rebound to the
honor and credit Of the powers that bc"
in Washington. The other federal ar.
pointees for this State are all good and
true men, uHwavc'ing Democrats and are
cminently qualified to discharge the at.
du rus duties of the several stations tn
which thry have been appointed.

We learn, says the San Francisco GtOJc,
from Capt. Hocg of the bark Mallory, ar
rived last night from Goose Bay, that new
river diggings have been discovered at
Flora Creek and at the forks of the Co.
quill, about thirty miles from Goose BAY.
Several claims that have been worked
have yielded as high as $4,000 in two
weeks. Claims only proSpectcd, have
sold from 81 900 to $4,000. There wcr,
four or five hundred miners at work.
