REV. Mr.. BRooKs-1hs gentleman, who was
lost on the Salmon mountains about two months
since, has never been beard from. From Mr.. j..
Ritncr, the Salmon eXpressman we give the fol
lowing particulars
About two weeks since Rev condemnation
Salmon with several others started from Parkcr's
ranch, in search of the missing man. They dis
covered the tracks of the lost man on the noun
tain, in the vicinity of the Coffee Creek divide
and in one place, by the side Of a tree, the i'm
prints of his saddle-bags (Which he was known to
have,) in the snow, After, being out several days
and falling short of provisions the party were OBJ
ligcd to return unsuccessful. The last traces Of
the missing man indicated that he had endcavor-
ed to again ascend the divide in the direction Of
Scots mountain. The mountain at this point
was very steep, and the snow SO deep that il was
impossible TO reach the summit. The only hope
for the recovery OF the body is that it may be
found by the miners on Coffee creek during the
summer.

CHINESE Row.--On Saturday night last anoth-
er Chinese row alarmed the citizens Of our town.
During the performance at the Theater the cry of
fight was raised at the lower end of Main street,
amongst the Chnas. The Sheriff and his depu-
ties were promptly on the ground, which pre-
vented in all probability, another deadly conflict
amongst the Cclestials.
But little information can be obtained as to the
origin of the row. The officers were informed by
some Cinnamon that it was caused by one party
stealing from the other threatening TO fire their
buildings, &c On Ten Cent Guch. Immediately
east of town. and close to some Chinese storehou-
scs, Chinanan was found on Sunday morning
with his throat cut and bullet hole through his
body lie was buried on Monday by his party.
1t is well known that there rival factions of
the Chinese who treat each other with hostility
whenever they meet.
We shall endeavor to procure the history of
these factions, and the cause Of their quarres
since 81 in this county
They still threaten to fight, and say that friend
ship can never exist between them. The parties
are the Yung Was and Sam Yep's.

THE QUARTZ MILLS or AMAD0R CorNTY.-Thc
Jackson Sentinel gives the following statistics in
reference TO the quartz mills and operations in
that business in Amador county. 1t gives the
number Of mills at "a, and put the cost OF them
at S25OOOO. Speaking of the profits of this
branch of business the Sentinel says:
The amount of rock crushed per day GA bours)
in these twenty four mills is about 800 tons. which
yield about $4,000. Steam power is used by
some of the companies for raising rock and water
from the veins which have cost probably in all
$4,000 this amount, added to the original.
makes S260,000
In order to arrive at the profits of this branch
Of business per month, we present the following
figures Amount of capital invested S2G0000.
1t is estimated that the cost Of quarrying the
rock and delivering it at ihc top Of the ground.
including expenses will not exceed So per ton.
which amountsao $50 600 per mouth The pro
bable cost Of delivering the rock at the mill
crushing and extracting the gold including cX-
penses Of labor power, &c, will not exceed So
per ton; making an additional expense per month
of $1,000. The interest OH the capital invested.
at per cent. per month, 81 800 the probable
expense of keeping in repair $4,000; total ex-
pcnses per month, including interest, $G4 POO
The amount of rock the above mills are capable
of crushing in month is 500 tons and accOr
ding to the above yield is $l4S.200. From this
amount subtract the amount Of expenditures and
it leaves the sum of $S4 900 in favor of the en-

More Hanging Ira Cedar County,
E0zVa.

We learn from Mr.. Wise Of Cedar Co,
that four horse thieves, (instead Of two as
stated in our last issue) were arrested near
Upton on Thursday last. Their names
were Alonzo Gleason, Ed. Soper Van Aus
del and Walter Cassidy. Gleason and
per We're trid by the mob in the eour;
yard at Upton, and on Friday evening
were taken to Big Rock, eighteen miles
/ below Tipton) and hung. Soper made a
full confesson, duplicating 2oor 80 citizens
Of Upton as being concerned with the
gang. Some of those have absconded fol
fear of lynching.
1t somewhat remarkable that notwith-
standing the fearful example ma .!e Of these
horse thieves in this county week before
last, the work Of stealing still goes on. On
Monday night horse was stolen from the
stable of David Wright, three miles south
Of Upton, and on Wednesday night one
from the stable Of Mr. Ford.
Great excitement prevails throughout
the county, and we fear that the people
will do deeds Of rashness under its inhu
ence for which they will repent hereafter
Five lives have not satiated their ven
geance. We learn that some members O
the Vigilance Committee have sworn that
Cassidy (whose trial has not yet taken
place. shall not live longer than to-mor

THE GREAT MIGRATORY MOVEMENT
The Herald of Freedom of the 9th uIt.,
estimates the influx Of population to Kan
sas, the present season, at 10000, and is
Of the opinion that before winter sets in
100000 will have been added to the per-
manent population of the Territorv.-
Meantime the human current pours on with
andlmnished volume. Many stop in Yves
tern Missouri, and others continue on to
Northern Texas. There is a regular stream
Of emigrants flowing south through Law
renee and other places III Kansas, says the
Herald, to the number Of on hundred a
day, looking for a warmer climate.
We also learn that where there has
been large influx Of population to Mis-
souri, the present season, there has been an
immense migration from It. A gentleman
who recently came up from Arkansas, re-
ports the roads full of moving caravans,
with their slaves and and cattle, from Mis-
souri, going to Texas. The same gentle
man tai1ied some three weeks at the thri-
wing village Of Moneka, and while there,
the road was daily thronged with Califor-
MIA emlgrants from Missouri. They were
OF the weather. class, some of them hav-
ing slaves and large herds of cattle.

On this 18th of July, crops present an
equal if not superior appearance to any we
have ever known in Wisconsin. We
speak for this south western part of the
State, and we believe the same isreported
from all other portions of the State. We
have heard slight complaints Of corn, but
there never has been much Of failure Of
corn in Wisconsin. Wheat, oats, barley,
potatoes, grass, and roots and vegetables
appear to be doing just as though Nature
had shaped model season for them re,
spectirely, and from all we can judge Of
several fields Of corn, it is just as good as
any other crop.
Now we have one word to address to
farmers: Save your crops with care, and
save the straw for your stock. You find
that the winters are long and every spring
more or less cattle die for want Of feed
This season will produce abundance Of
straw, fodder and hay, and if well saved
viii support twice as many stock as the
product of last year. If you have a sur
plus Of hay you caa sell it before another
harvest at SIS 90 to $40 90 per ton.
Your grain will surely bring enormous
prices, though it will be down pretty low
in the fall. Those who are compelled to
sell in the fall are so numerous taat they
will gIut the market, and buyers will get
scared-not half of them having a sensi-
BILE idea of the tremendous population who
have came west within the year to be fed.
The same is also true Of stock, and there
fore your hay, oats and corn will be in great
demand. The aggregate Of increase Of
population and stock is far beyond the in
crease Of grain and provision supplies, large
as it therefore, demand and prices will
be greater next winter and spring than
last Merchants and buyers are not sensi
Die of this; they know less of what is go
ing on than farmers do; therefore, farmers,
you hold the power, the knowledge how to
use it and the treasury is yours and you
have the key it. Hold tight reign and
the battle Is yours.

Of sradependence-Lf.
Eaeanizsg.

This old fashioned political confession Of
faith-arranged By Jefferson and approved
by the revolutionary patriots, (rebeis now
called by some, J is interpreted to have tive
opposite meanings in its most essential TEA
ture--ille equality Of human rights there
IL declared that is, the reasonable and
the national Interpretation. In Southern
States the document IS seldom read oflate
wears at 4th Of July Celebrations, and al
ways interpreted to mean that Jefferson
wrote a lie when his Declaration is inter-
preted to mean that Americans and Dutch
men, EngliShmsn3anl Irishmen, civilized
Negroes and Indians, are entitled by Ma
tues God and the Continental Conven-
ton and Congress to equal political rights
In the Northern States it is always read
on such generally without any
interpretations, except what the plain letter
and spirit is taken to mean by every hear
er. There are however, even among pa
triotic northerners some who so despise
Negroes and Foreigners and profess such
awful regrets that Negroes and Foreigners
are allowed any political, cival and moral
lights, that they deuounee tie Declaration
of Independence as an abolition lie,an aboli-
ton lecture and as foreigners guide by
which the Irish and Dutch are enabled
to climb into the American irclousures
and become citizens
TO Illustrate one point in this matter,
we relate an occurrence that took place al
Lancaster on the occasion Of our celebra-
ton Of 5he 4th the Declaration was read
by J. Allen Barber Esq, without com
nent, except a preliminary remark that
orr forefa theirs about 81 years ago agreed
to fight in defence Of the principles therein
set faith, &c. A gentleman present heard
Ii ali through patio ntly-admired the ora
ton, (snpposing it was speech from Mr..
Barber except there was too much sboIi-
tionism in it to suit his notion! He ex-
cused the orator however, as Mr.. Barber is
a rigid Black Republican, which his lead
ers tell him, means an abolitionst.
Another thought Mr.. BARRIERS speech
was very good, except that it put Foreign
ers as well as Negroes on the same equal
ty with Americans.
No other inference could be drawn from
these gentemens' notions but this: Sla-
very aud Know Nothingism stand upon
the same bottom-must stand or fall TO-
gether. They are both anti American
and our forefathers fought that both might
be erased, and men lave ;heir rights to
te, liberty and the pursuit Of happiness.

Emrsaas for sale

Our columns exhibit a large number Of
farms and lots Of land for sale This
shows that people are becoming sensible in
one respect: owning more land than they
can pay for and pay the taxes, they are
concluding to sell a part Of their posses
sions Lots of men in Grant County own
two, three or more small improved farms,
besides several uninproved lots of land
are IL debt for half thereof, and counting
outlay of interest and the present value Of
money, ere finding it losing game, SO
they want to sell and thereby let Others have
a share Of the world We do not mean
that all who offer land for sale are thereto
compelled by debt, but that they find then
lands running them behind. Many want
to sell with the view Of getting interest on
their unprodnctiye investments. Land is
low in Grant County much lower than
the lands Of Iowa and Minnesota, fifty
miles away from civilization; yet we be-
liege it is as high as the times to come
warrant. Sell yonr surplus lands, thereby
your neighbors, use the money in
loan it, pay your debts, and
live like lords. Land speculations are al
an end for years; you can sell Your lands
just as high now as in 1860.
