SHOOTING AFFRAY AT THE MOUNTAIN

RANCH On Tuesday last, a serious shoot
ing afray took place at the Mountain
Ranch store. It appears that man dis
covered rich gold diggings near that place !;
Mr.. Charles Miller also prospected near the
discovery, but without success, when the
first discoverer gave him possession of a
hundred feet of his claim, provided he
would sink two prospecting shafts,-NIil-
Ter agreed to this and gave an interest to
John Soumeillan, in considera ton that
he would run tunnel into the claim
John Cor Jack as he is called, commenced
cut SO as to make facing for the tunnel,
but after going in ten or twelve feet aban-
doned it; few days after another man
wished to purchase an interest in the claim,
when Soumeillan said he would sell his
Miller said he had not done what he had
promised to do, and consequently he had
no interest to sell-this enraged " Jack"
SO much that he made threats of shooting
against Miller. On the day of the affray,
Miller was inside the store, and saw Jack
entering the door, when he seized him and
said "Jack understand you have threat
ened my life, you must take that back :"
" No." said Jack +" I never take anything
back whereupon Miller seized him by
the neck-cloth and handled him very
rough, threw him down, where Jack beg
ged off and Miller let him up as soon as
Jack raised he pulled pistol out, which
he had concealed, near his breast, under
the coat, and fired, striking Miller near
the hip-bone-the ball taking downward
direction. The bullet has not vet been
extracted. Mr.. Miller is very severely
wounded, but will likely recover, as the
kind care and professional skill of the
physicians, Drs. Austin & Ringo have done
much to alleviate his sufierings, and most
likely be the means of saving his life.

SACRAMENTO DAILY BEE.-This is the
name of new Daily paper of average size
lately established in Sacramento, by four
practical printers, Messrs. L. G Chandler,
L. 7. Davis, John Church, and " H.
Tobey, all capital good fellows, and COM
petent workmcn. The papcris ably edited
and manifests the elements of success
In coming out independent, the editors in
their salutatory'' say:
They nave too long seen the evils which
have crept into all the party organizations
of this State, not to feel fully aware of the
dignityan the power of an Independent
position. In the Democratic party they
have seen, too often, bad men supremclv
dominant, and using the party as an in
strument for executing the most selfish of
purposes, regardless Of the honor of the
State or the happiness of the people
They have seen the American organization
crushed beneath the weight Of corruption
which 1t was compelled to bear, in the
persons of men who thrust themselves for
ward as the friends Of reform, when they
were in fact the most loathsome moral and
political lepers, that ever tainted the at
mosphere of the world with their pres
ence. They have seen all parties more or
less cursed with the influence of such men,
and they have resolved to stand aloof from
such disgusting affiliations. All the hope
that a truly Independent journal can have
is in the encouragement of the intelligent
and interrupted masses, and upon them
this paper relies.
In endorsing the above, we extend to
them the right hand of Independent fel-
lowship, hoping the Bee may always be
busy making money and friends, for they
certainly deserve to be we'll supported.

We regret that our limited space will not per-
nit more liberal extracts from the remarks Of
The different disputonts. The one is an unvar
nished representation Of southern views upon
slavery, and exhibits the willingness with which
our most sacred and long revered principles are
trampled under foot 10 crafty the slave power +;
while the other breathes those pure principles Of
Christianity which harm no man, and represent
devotion to the God given principle Of human
Liberty, as set forth in the Declaration of Amer
icon Independence, in unison with the feelings
which prompted the trainers of that instrument
and its defenders. We must close ty giving a
series Of resolutions offered by Mr.. Corwin, of
California which were read but not presented
to be voted upon. They are such resolutions as
Southern christians are supposed to relish, and
their severe irony must have touched even the
feelings of Dr., Ross. They are supposed to EN-.
anae from Southern Assembly:
