Entering Town Sites.

The following correspondence will show
that the act of the last Legislature Of the
Territory, designating the County Commits
sloners as the proper persons to enter Town
Sites, is not recognized by the Commissions
of the Land Office.
1t is a question Of doubt whether the Judges
of Probate, or the United States Judges, can
be regarded as "Judges of the County Court"
As soon as that doubt is removed, notice will
be given. In the mean time no entering Of
towns not incorporated can be made.
A copy of the act of the last Legislature
will be placed in the hands of the Commits
%sioner, and, under the circumstances, the eu-
tries already made MAY be confirmed.

WHAT FILLS THE RIVER?-The Trinity
Journal says!-Think of fifty thousand men,
all digging and shoYeling, one-third of them
night and day, and some with tremendous
hydraulic power, which tears down the bank
by the score of tons Acres on acres are ex-
cavated; sand, gravel. and rocks of many
hundred pounds, are sent down to the natural
water course, and when the food comes all
must go. Heavy rains carry immense quaint
tiles of loose earth from the hill side to the
same destination. The lighter deposit reaches
the Sacramento speedily, and is carried down
till, meeting with the returning tide, it set
ties, while the heavier follows slowly, but
surely. Reaching the lower rivers, the cur
rent is less impetuous, and the " black sand, !"
so plentiful wherever gold is found, is pre-
eipitated to the bottom SO firmly that even q
food ef mot remove it. The effect is seen at
Marisville !; boats land now at the junction
of Yuba and Feather Rivers; the channel is
filling up more and more each year, and the
consequence must be, that, after a while
commerce will be driven ashore.

SUPPOSED ANTIQUITY OF THE HUMAN RACE.
In paper recently read before the Royal
Society of London, Mr. Horner, in giving
an account of researches undertaken near
Cairo, Egypt, with rhe view of throwing
light upon the geological history of the al
luvial land of Egypt stated that a fragment
of pottery, now in his possession, an inch
square and quarter of inch in thickness,
the two surfaces beingsof brick red color,
had been obtained from the lowest part of a
boring 80 feet from the sarface of the ground.
The entire soil pierced consisted of true
sediment and allowing the estimated rate
of increase of deposited sediment of 81 inch
es in century to be correct, this fragment
having been found at depth of SO feet, is a
record of the Existence of man 1875 years
before A. D.a 1858, in state ofcivilizatiOn,
so far, at least, as to be able to fashion clay
into vessels, and know how to harden it by
the action of strong heat.

IMMIGRATION PRosPECTs.-After an alb
sence of four yaaRrs, says the Sacramento
Union, former citizen of this city return
ed on the J. L!Stephens. He has resided
during that time npne of the Western States
From him we lean that very favorable
opinion of Califotnia is entertained by the
Nv 4.-----o.. 4i.4-plai.-.
this summer would have been unusually
large had it not been for the difficulty with
the Mormons. Times are hard in the West
money extremely Scarce. A good many
would come by steamers were the price of
passage within reasonable bounds. But at
present rates poor meh cannot raise means
to pay for tickets: It was conceded on the
other side that the emigration would be large
overland from the Western States, before
the news of newggo!d discoveries reached
there. That news5 our friend thinks, will
cause tens of thOdsspds to seek the shores of
the Pacific, who probably would not have
done so by ordinary inducements.
Grass Valley telegraph., 1858-07-17

A NUIsANCE.-The manner in which the
affairs of the Mint is conducted, is serious
injury to the country. It appears that it is
not running night and day as formerly, and
now, although the deposits are rot as large
as they sometimes are. it takes more than
twice as long, to yet returns, as it did year
ago.
To get our returns from Grass Valley
takes usually from seventeen to twenty-one
days, serious Inconvenience, not only to
business men, bpt to miners Most.of our
miIl-uen ship their goio to the Mint, and as
they need coin-to pay their workmen, they
are oblijed to pay interest on advances from
seventeen to twenty one days, when in ordi.
nary times these returns were made in seven
or eight days. A.
In consequence of'Ahe long tine now re-
quired, and the consequent long time for
interest, our Dust Buyers cannot afford to
pay as much for. gS4Sd as when speedy returns
were made, SO that the mining interest is
materially affected.
If dust is sent to an Assayer, no allowance
is made for TIE silver contained in the gold,
one-fourth Of one per cent. is charged for
melting and assaying, and then to convert
the bar into coin the Assayer takes it at
from one-fourtb to one per cent, according
to its fneness.%
Owing to the dNatory proceedings at the
Mint many are forced to send their gold to
the Assayers bot it is much like the mouse
between the cat and the terrier, how hap
py could be With either" The miner is
skinned on both sides. 1t was hoped that
when the last years Z frauds were ferreted out
and the int'placed in other hands, that the
country would be benefited, but such ap-
pears not to be the case, ,and we were better
off with Harazthy's Flue and his Pocket
Edition of Mint Experiments than we are
now. Please, Mr.. Harazthy. go back and
take charge of the Mint again. K.

doubted the iguEas Id so expressed my

that from all accounts, as near as could be

I do not hesitate to say that the figures
are enormous and hardly creditable, yet
find merely assertions to show me in error
The only object have in writing to the
Baaletin is to give correct information to
capitalists, and the general reader, not only
iu this State, but in the Atlantic ones and
Rurope, and wherever the Bulletin travels,
that all may become familiarized with the
many valuable resources of Nevada county,
aAd more especially that of the mining in
terest. AS to 5000 tons being worked in 22
months to practical :" miner, seeming a
very large amount, I would say, that if you
will make some figures, you will find that
working 20 tons per 25 hours, that each
month you. have six days to lay by for re-
pairs and then can do the work in 20 months.
As before remarked, I aim to be correct,
and when in error desire to be righted, but
consider that the data is requisite to prove
it so.
Plain open-handed dealing-facts and
facts only, and with them practical working,

South YUBA DtTCH.-It appears that even
this immense ditch is not sufficient to sup
ply the demand for water in the upper por-
~ 49, ~ 90
vicinity of Grass Valley, and localities be-
low. The New ada Democrat, says:-
"We learn from Mr.. Whartenby, that the
water in the South Yuba is now low, and
portion of the water at present running into
the Ditch, is supplied from the lakes, situa-
ted near DEVILS Peak, and about six miles
this side of the summit. There.are two lakes,
at the outlet of which, gates have been con-
structed, from which the water is let off,
The lakes are each about mile in length,
and half mile in width, and the water can
be let out of each to depth of about four
teen feet In other words, the amount which
will be supplied from the lakes this season,
is equivalent to body of water a mile
square, and fourteen feet deep. About two
thousand inches of water is now running in
the South Yuba ditch, and the amount drawn
from the lakes added to that running in the
river, will be sufficient to keep up the sup
ply for some time, though not enough to last
during the summer. Workmen are now en-
gagged in constructing dams at the outlets of
other lakes, and by another year it is believ
ed, a sufficient quantity OF water can be sa-
we'd to keep up the supply the year round.
Grass Valley telegraph., 1858-07-17

UNCLAIMED TREAsURE.-It is said that
there is nearly three millions of dollars in
Savings Banks of the city of New York, un
claimed. The several sums have been ad-
vertised for years, but no owners ceme, and
the amount goes on increasing from year to
year by the accumulated interest. What to
do with this money has now become ques-
ton of considerable Importance. Attempts
have been repeatedly made to withdraw
these deposits from the Banks and place
them under the direct control of the State,
their proceeds to be applied to public pur-
poses. Two propositions to this effect were
before the last Legislature-one proposing
to devote the money to the benefit of the
common schools, the other to the compile
tion of the canals.

CALIFORNIA TICKs.--Persons Complaining
of children or selves breaking out in littless
sores, and who deem it to be on account of
Cheat" or &C bad blood,' will find theyar
mistaken, by a little care. These sores, says
the Stockton argus, are occasioned by
small ticks that are brushed off passing thro'
grass or weeds. They are quite small, no
larger than the point Of a needle, and readi-
ly bury themselves in the skin, and are o
source of much irritation to young and old.

@y- In the event of a war with Great
Britain, we would hardly be pleased with
the reflection that we had aided John Rull
to establish instantaneous communication
between the Home Government and British
Headquarters on this Continent. This would
give him terrible superiority over our
selves, by no means fiattering to our boast
ed Yankee shrewdness.
