Sutter Creek Correspondence.

SUFFER- CREEK, Feb. g. 1857.
Ed LEDGER Seeing an invitation in your
paper for items of news from different locai-
ties, am emboldened to tell you something
of the affairs of our camp.
Business in all the departments of trade is
evidently improving; and the light step and
cheerful countenances of all interested in our
welfare evidences the general prosperity
Quartz mining is the absorbing interest of
this section; and those engaged in it seem to
be well satisfied with their Investments
Great improvements have been introduced
during the past season; several of the COM
panics having erected steam engines at
their mines for raising the quarried rock, and
keeping the shafts free from water The
Badger Company elevate their buckets from
a depth of two hundred and fifty feet in two
thirds of minute.
Tolerably successful experiments have been
made in extracting gold from quartz tailings.
New methods of amagamation are being
introduced ana one, called "Stetson's Patent
Selfoperating Amalgamator," is very highly
spoken Of
In sluicc mining, know of several who
are getting fair remuneration for their la
bor, but there is nothing to brag of in this
line.
Many are turning their attention to tun-
nelihg, and understand that Messrs Slater,
Robinson q Co. have struck some fne pros
poets in theirtunnels in Humbng Hill
AS to amusements, we have a large dan
cling sehQol once a week, where the bellies of
Sutter Greek in all their oveliness manage
to craze majority Of our beaux with their
captivating charms MesSrs Church and
Jones are the musicians and Uncle johnny is
the tutor
Altogether, consider Sutter Creek for its
fine location, the enterprise Of its citizens aud
its good society one of the most inviting
camps in the State. ETHAN.

THE News FROM NIoARAGuA.-The recent
intelligence from this distracted country
shows beyond a doubt, that Walker and his
men are in very critical position.
The allied central American forces are
acting energetically on the Offensive, and on
the 25d Dec, garrison Of fifty men at
Hipp's Point on the San Juan river was sur
prised and all but seven killed.
The victorious Costa Rcans then proceed
ed to Greytown and took three steamers be-
longing to the Transit Company.
The British Squadron protected Americans
and American property
Ascending the river in the captured steam
ers,--the Costa Ricans captured Fort San
Carlos without resistance and seized the lake
steamers.
Gen. Mora forwarded the passengers from
California to Graytown on the steamers in
his possession.
Walker is at Rivas with about 1000 men
anxiously looking for renforcements. Mora
has issued proclamation, pleds sing bis honor
to give any ol Walkers TT, o.,s who desire to
leave, safe and free passage to Greytown
and New York.
