The present Postage Law.

The people of California should rise as one man
and demand an alteration in the law concerning
hostage As it now stands, it is the most Unequal
and partial in its workings of any law spread upon
the journals of Congress. Because we are further
removed from the seat of Government and sharing
least in the favors and benefits of the Government,
is not a good reason why we should be taxed more
than doubly what the inhabitants of other States
taxed toward the support of the postal Depart
ment. Ten cents per letter is too much for any of
to pay we all were taxed at that rate but few
months ago, but now, some of us can send our let
tiers IS cheapy as the citizens of other States can
correspond with each other,-but part of can
not. Those of US who happen to have friends in
the New England States, or at other points in the
Union, three thousand miles hence, must pay the
old price. The overland mail, is, therefore pecun-
iarily beneficial to but portion US. 1t should be
made to work for all alike and for price. Laws
should, and must be, to be just general, in their
nature and workings, and the postal law should be
made conformabe to this rule.

The PLACERvILLE RoUTE.-The Sacramento
Union thinks the petitions to reduce the time for
delivery of the mails between St. Joseph and Plac-
erville, ought to be circulated in all the northern
counties. The advocates of the Kirk imposition
route Though PlacerviIe should not think Of doing
su;h foolish act. The northern counties care
nothing for the mountain and desert toute through
Placerville. They have a much better route of
their own by Honey Lake. When the Union was
sustaining Kinks official report in opposition TO
Honey Lake as the terminus of the wagon road. we
knew and told them that they were building up a
southern route and giving it precedence over all
Others Then, Placerville route was decdly the
best notwithstanding an experience of ten years
had shown that its SHOWS were impossible during
the winter months. Government knew it. and after
Airks performances, felt compiled to locate the
principal route sonth of the wealth and bnsines of
the State If the P!soerville routeis merely a sec
ond or third fiddle TO other routes it wllnot be able
to play its part during the coming winter months
We viii sign petition for tri-weekly mail To
Honey Lake, where it should have come in the first
place, and where it undoubtedly would have come
had not Kinks expedition shown the Salt Lake route
impraeicable, thus frustrating the original design
Of Congress. Send none of petitions TO the north
ern counties but pray to Kirk; and if he cannot
help you, go weep for the botch-work you have as
sisted to make of the overland lroutes and the
injustice you have aided in bringing upon northern
and middle California.

HARD HIT.-The Amador Ledger plants the
following sockdollager under the left ear of Tuol-
umne Leeomptonism:
"TheCclumba Weekly News a rabid Lecompton
paper in one of its political TRADES against those of
the Democracy who still adhere TO their principles
saws:
''We can inform our friends abroad that the De-
mocracy OF old TuOumne were never so united as
at this time and we feel able to thrash the enemy
every day if it was necessary IF our friends in the
different sections of the State will work with US
shoulder TO shoulder, the cause of patriotism and
genuine Republicanism will ever triumph in Cali
fornia over sedition and higher law humbugism.r
We will admit that Tuolsmne county is in the
hands OF the Lecomptonites beyond redemption
and as one OF the effects of their patriotism and gem
uine Republicanism, we give another cutting from
the same paper:
But seriously the corruption that has existed in
nigh places IN Taolumne county for the past
elght OF nine years has gone beyond endurance
The present grand jury is the ablest one that has
ever been known in the county. They are business
nen-inen of energy and perseverance, and of
known integrity. If former grand juries had ex-
hbted onehalf of the interest for the welfare of the
cou ~ which they have done, we would not now be
groaning beneath the weight of such enormous tax
alton and the comfy debt would not foot up as il
does now, in almost the round sum Of one hundred
and fifty thousand dollars'
Surely II the above is the effects of Iecomptonisn
II is warning to other parts Of the State; for il is
limited at In another part of the same article that
the grand jury had indicted every officer of the
county, from the Sheriff down to Constable If
the advice OF the News is followed the Lecompton-
ties OF other sections Of the State NAV find them
selves working shoulder ia shoulder with their
Tuolumne brethren if not in the cause of patriot
Ism at least for the good of the State at the States

Assessors Report.
Assessors Office,


ORovILLE, Oct. 90, 1858.
To the Honorable, III. 4. Higleu, Surreuor General
of California,
Sir: As per requirements of the statute, here
by submit to you my report for the year 1853 1t is
not as complete as I should like it to have been
owing to the utter impossibility of obtaining the
information sought for from the inhabitants of the
county that, in great many instances, being of
tne OPINION that the questions asked relate solely to
ther private business, consequently of no interest
to the public and at other times that it is the
method adopted by the Assessor to Approximate to
the value OF their property, for which reason their
answers are generally very unsatisfactory.
Inc number OF acres of land assessed is $50 3I3
of which 1872 ,442 acres is claimed under Spanish
grants, and as in other portions of the State are
dotted over with claims of l6O acres, which they.
the claimants, eventually hope to hold. How much
grounds for such hope, there is, l know not but
do know, that this unsettled state of things is
great disadvantage to the prosperity of the county
for were these (seemingly never-tobe setted) land
cases decided, one way the other instead OF the
eight by ten cabins that now find upon these
small claims, would find substantial improve
ments and other evidence of advancement in what
Is generally conceded to be the great source of
wealth of the State--the Agricultural interest
About one-half of the county is well timbered,
comprising all the varieties usually found in the
mountains of California.
In the estimate of the product of the county ac-
companying this it must of necessity refer to the
products of the year 1857, but very small por-
ton OF the county is assessed after harvest, Cat
which time the statistics procured) and that
portion principally the mining region. am salts
fled that the crop of 1853 exceeds that of 1857 fifty
per cent.
The quantity of honey produced is not known
but of necessity be small, as there are but two
swarms of bees in the county, of which is in the
mountains the other in the valley, and their pros
perty Is but another evidence that State is well
adapted to their success and profit.
You vii. EUd the number of Apple and Peach
trees reported this year much smaller than last
from the fact that bearing trees are only report d
(the number in nurseries not known) the number
gwen are IN thrifty condition. and the yield this
year is large.
In regard tn the county boundary I would refer
you TO the report OF my predecessor, the evils
planned of by him, exist, and the suggestions there
in contained as to their remedy, should meet with
the favorable consideration of our aw-makers.

DIFFERENCE OF OPINIoN.-The Marysville Err
press, edited by an ex-Whig, ex-know-N othing Le-
comptonite, speaks of Senator Douglas as follows:
"Mr- Douglas. despairing of the ability Of the
Democratic fparty to sustain him upon the great
principles of his own Kansas Nebraskaact Is en-
deaving to impress upon the dominant party-the
Republican party-fhat he is better republican
than his opponent. or Seward, Chase, or any Of
the Republican leaders,
The Richmond Enquirer says that Senator Doug
las is doing than any other man @for the pro
lection of the constitutional rights of the South, y
and prefers him before any other Democrat for the
position of Senator from Illinois," OF course this
difference of opinion brands the Editor of the Rich
mond Enquirer an unmitgated liar and Black
kepubican ass, and the party is well rid Of such

PETTY LARCENY AT SEA-A SERIOUS SORT OF

second Mate of the bark Myrtle lately arrived from
Bangkok, Siam, had stolen s. and lot of papers
from seaman named Robert Edwards, during the
voyage and within the admiralty and maritime ju
risdiction of the United States. If the Commits
sioner finds sufficient cause, he will bind the ac
cused over, who will then have to be tried in the
United States District or Circuit Court, when he
Will have to be tried by a jury. The punishment of

THE AssEssoRsHIP-OnW Wednesday last a writ
OF quo ,rdrranto was served on Mr.. D. A. Brown
our County Assessor Elect, by Mr.. David Weaver,
the incumbent of that Office for the past year Here
tofore our Assessors have been elected yearly, and
the right for them to hold their offices for longer
term than one year has singularly enough never be-
fore been brought in question Mr.. Weaver believes
himself entitled to the office fora year longer hence
the issuance of the said writ. Now that this cues
ton has been mooted, and the parties have Joined
issue-as we believe they have-we trust for the
sake of the county the case will be taken to the
Supreme Court that we may know, definitely how
often we must elect our Assessors and for-.wha
length Of time.

The CAMELs LoosE.-The Southern Vineyard
states that, during the storm of October 2nd which
at the TETON was very violent, the U. s. Camels at
the Rancho of S. A. Bishop strayed away. Parties
were out in search of them soon as their leave
taking was discovered. They did not like the
storms of the TETON, which are not celebrated for
their midness, they had started overland for Asia
Nine of them have been recovered. Six are still
missing 1t is not improbable that the Indians may
indulge in dinner of Camel's meat or that they
may be claimed by some enterprising stock grcwer,

of the Central Overland Mail.

We condense the following report of news by the
last Salt Lake Mail from the columns of the Sac
ramento Union
The bridge at Brockliss' being broken the mails
had to be sent on ahead by horseman, who being
thrown from his animal, was obliged to foot it,
hence detention of several hours.
All was quiet at Salt Lake City.
The Z. S. District Court, Judge Sinclair, had met
but adjourned in consequence of the i'll health of
the District Attorney.
The Mormons held third annual Fair on the 4th.
1t was successful.
1t is said that the Mormons intend applying for
admission into the Union at the next session of Con-
gress.
Two Mormon women having been violated by In
dams, Col. Johnston sent detachment of Dragons
to arrest the offenders. The Indians resisted and
one of them was killed and ten taken prisoners.
All the mules which were stolen from Mayfeld in
August last have been recovered. Some of the
Bannoc tribe of Indians are thought to be the
thieves.
The troops at Camp Floyd, were generally
healthy. Lieut.. w. P. Sanders had been very i'll,
but was recovering.
Senator Broderick and Company were met or
Goose Greek, $50 miles from Salt Lake. Mr.. Brod
ericks health still continued poor.

ATT DEAD YET.-We observe in looking over
the papers that the inimitable John Spotter is in
Downieve. 1t is two to one bet that John s
posters announce the astounding and gratifying
fact, that he has under his management, 'the best
stock company in the State;' and it is a similarly
safe wager TO double the amount, that both he and
the world renowned and talented corps whose cash
ier he is, are all dead broke, and in "soak their
board.'

FIRE ENGINE FOR YREKA.-The corporate au-
thorities of Yreka, sent to New York for Fire
Engine, and il was recently landed at Red Bluffs.
Its transportation thence to Yreka cost them five
hundred dollars. It's entire cost will be less than
one-hundreth part of the loss sustained by the late
fire in Oroville.

APPARENTLY Notwithstanding the
Lecompton press have denounced Douglas as
Black Republican, since the election, the Amador
Sentinel still defends him. That paper was orig-
nally anti-Lecompton, but somehow ''slumped
through previous to the election. 1t does not soon
consent to denounce Douglas, Lecomptonism Will
soon consign it the Lower Rancharea'

LABOR AT PREMIrN.-We learn from returned
Frazerite that three men who gave away good half
ounce diggings on Butte Creek for the purpose of
going to Frazer river, were, at last accounts. at
work for the Hudson Bay Company opening a road
up Frazer. They gave twenty-five dollars for the
privilege of working on the road, with the under
standing that if they perseVered in the good work
unto the completion of the trail they were to re-
ceive back their twenty-five dollars; but if fhey
failed to assist in completing the work. they were
to have nothing but the grnb they had eaten, and
to forfeit the sum they had advanced. If that is
anything more than GRUB" diggings, we don't
know it. Should they return to California after
their road fever subsidies, the Legislature should ex
empt them from road tax hereafter. Bat what
magnificent diggings there must be- when men
adept snch means to work their way into the mines?
