The celebrated diggings, we were all

even worse than the famous Gold Lake
excitement. Whitehead never was able
to find the diggings he was in search of,
but he certainly discovered the Mammoth

DEBATING SoCIETY.-On Wednesday even
ing last, the citizens of this place held meet
ing for the purpose of organizing Literary
Society. Mr. S. B. Stevens was elected Pres
ident; A. X. Hartford, Vice President and r.
II. Brotherton, Secretary. After the adop-
ton of a constitution and bye-laws, Mr.. JAS
Barclay was appointed to deliver an opening
address at the next regular meeting, and the
following question was selected for debate:
Resolued, That societies organized for such
purposes as this is, are of more benefit than
injury.
Mr.. J. w. Willard was appointed on the af-
firmative, and DIR. 7. w. Brotherton on the
negative.
The next meeting will be held at the same
place, on Thursday evening next, September
30th. The public are invited to attend.

CARSON VALLEY-The news from Carson
Valley indicate that the Mormons are gener-
ally selling out and leaving for Salt Lake
Mormonism, to flourish, must be isolated; il
cannot well thrive when surrounded by those
its members term Gentiles. A Majority of the
latter had settled in Carson Valley, and it be-
came necessary for the Saints, with their plu-
rality of wives, to leave for some other locality
Monogamy and polygamy are founded upon
antagonistic principles, and can no more ex-
iSt side by side in the same community than
can the savage and civilized man. One must
absorb the other, the one wife or the plurality
wife system, must prevail; there can be no
intermediate ground between them. There
can be no compromise, and this the members
of the Church of Latter Day Saints know full
we'll. Hence their reason fof leaving Carson
Valley.
After the Mormon exodus is complete, there
will be no objection to the formation of new
Territory east of the Sierra Nevada. 1t would
be taken from the west end of Utah, which
Territory is large enough to be cut up into
several good-sized Territories This is the
plan to reduce size and influence of the Ter
rtory of Utah. 1t is ii much better one than
that proposed by Senator Douglass, of a re-
peal of the law establishing that Territory
1t is withal perfectly legitimate, because it is
calculated to meet the wants of large num-
Der of people in the valley east of the Sierra
The great distance between the seat of gov
ernment in Utah aud Carson Valley, renders
it impracticabe to extend its laws over the
people in the Valley. There is, therefore, a
territorial government demanded at the hands
% ol Congress for the people in the valleys east
VI 'ne mountains. We thought Humboldt
wou'u oe an excellent name for it; but we see
ane people there propose to call it Columbus
territory. To this name there certainly can
be De no objection urged; but as the Humboldt
fslver and Sink has rendered portion of the
valley famous, it seems as if that name would
prove particularly appropriate.
Inc Indians on the head of the Humboldt,
nave proved more hostile and destructive than
ever before Quite number of lives have
been taken by them. And as the United
States Government has no snare soldiers on
this side, the only chance for ebas.;ss e,I thsn ~
is by means Of volunteers from the on, sob =
or from California. s-e. sn' eiii' an :

For the San Andress Independent
Discovery of the Big Tree Grove.
ANGELS, September oath, 1855


Mcssrs. Editors;-I take this oppor.
tunity of correcting statement, publish.
cd in the columns of the Independent in
reference to my being, probably, the first
discoverer of the Big Tree Grove happy
as should be to be able to claim the
honor of the 6rst discovery, justice to
others and the truth, would prevent my
doing 50. The facts, in regard to their
first discovery, as near as my memory
serves me, are these:
About the first of April, 1850, | was
induced to change my camp from Jack
son to what was called, at that time, "Th,
Cabins" but known at the present time
as Independence Flat. The reason OF
my change was the information, (secretly
obtained, that man by the name Of
Whitehead had been few miles above
that place, the fall before, and discovered
very rich diggings and was driven from
them by the rain and snow, and that he
had, at the time, company of men
waiting for the snow to recede from the
mountains in order to get back to the
placer. My informant was one of the
party that he was to lead to fortune, and
| was in hopes, through his influence, to
be able to enlist under the same banner,
but was doomed to disappointment, as his

named James Thompson, in hunting
