LETTER FROM ANGELS.
Correspondence of the Independent

Correspondence Of the Independent.
ANGELS, May 9th, 1853.
Mr.. Editor Il have nothing of Importance
to communicate this week. Laboring men
here complain of hard times, and often find
themselves without the " wherewith" to foot
their bills. / would suggest that if they had
no more than half the number of saloons and
bars to support which they now have, they
might get along much better, but the number,
instead of being diminished, is steadily in
or easing Two or three new saloons.are now
being put in readiness for operation and
don't know s0hat the poor miners of angels Camp
wiU do.
Business of all kinds seems to be gaining
solid footing | judge from the cheerful and
apparently satisfied demeanor of the proprie-
tors, that the quartz mills are generally doing
well. Prospecting is still carried on to con-
siderable extent, and several new veins have
been opened. The mill situated on the creek
below town, is now doing custom work, which
affords good opportunity for testing the rock
from new claims.
The old creek itself has not yet " suspended
payment" There are several companies now
at work in its bed who are making wages
Moore Co. took out chispa last week. worth
S56. There is company now organizing for
the purpose of putting in &C bedrock fume,"
which is to commence at the falls, about one
mile below town, and work the whole bed of
the creek, from bank to bank, from the start
ing place to town. After this is done, which
will probably take two or three years, it is
supposed the f1ume can still be made to pay
by running the tailings through it from the
several quartz mills.
There is considerable political excitement
here just at this time, which was set in motion
by the news brought by the last steamer in
regard to the manner in which the two houses
of Congress have locked horns on the Lecomp-
ton question, and accelerated by the recent
overwhelming defeat of the Administration
democrats in Sacramento. The Douglas party
appears to predominate. The subject is ex-
citing great deal of warm discussion.
The farmers about here are already engaged
in cutting hay saw one load in market yes
terday. Fruit trees are growing finely, though
peaches will not be very abundant this year
on account of the late frosts.
There is to be Sabbath School May Party
here on Wednesday next, when the little
ones" will doubtless have joyful time.
Yours, VERITAs.

JENNY LINDA writer from Jenny Lind
states that the new flume has just been COM
9th May. The fume is twenty nine hundred
feet long, and will carry about twelve sluice-
heads of water. The towers are l25 feet high.
The diggings are very good. When the water
is taken to the new points, an ounce a day to
the hand will be realized Shenanigan Flat is
new camp. Capt. Hanford is taking in new
ditch into Rich Gulch, on the other side of the
river, where the diggings are extensive.

CAVE Cry BALL.-The May Festival given
by Mr.. Cronk and family, at Cave City, was a
grand affair. The Ball came off in Burdick's
building, (the Cave City Hotel having been
destroyed by fire on Thursday night previous, J
and was truly a recherche affair We are glad
that it was so largely attended and literally pa
tronised, and hope that it has proven benefit
to the deserving benefciaries Fifty ladies
and seventy gentlemen were in attendance
The supper, was superb, although gotten up
in two days time-the previous arrangements
having been entirely destroyed by the fire.

WIND MILLs.-Stockton is now called the
Wind Mill City. Over two hundred of these
huge butterflies of the air, are daily revolving
in that city and vicinity, raising water to irri-
gate the innumerable gardens which are
springing up on every side. During a recent
visit to the city we carefully examined one of
Derrick's Improved Patent, f-Regulating
Wind Mills, just built for Mr.. Root, on Channel
street, and found it superior to all Others
Here, without even the solicitation of the pro-
prietor, we will certify that we examined all
the other various patterns now in use in the
city OF Stockton, and found them defective
either in machinery or durability or entirely
unsulted to the purposes for which they were
built. Some gardners, who were using the
wheels of other manufacture and patent. de-
clared that they were costing more, yearly, to
keep them in repair than the price of Derrick's
mill, besides the annoyance and aggravation
entailed by breakage. After careful inquiry
and mature inspection, we selected Derrick's
pattern, had it built, (the best article and
largest size,) at a cost of $65. 1t is now in
good order and running admirably Those
visiting Stockton, who wish to see these mills
operate, should call at the residence of Mr.
Root, Channel street, or Mr.. H. c.. Patrick
corner of Hunter and Lindsay streets, or
to Andrew Wolf, Weber Avenue, and John E.
Mckenzie, (the builder,) Fremont street, to
whom we refer for full particulars. Mr. Der
rick manufactures these mills in neat and
finished manner and guarantees them if firmly
and mechanically placed in running shape, to
operate for years without requiring repair

New CoACHEs.-We see that Messrs. Dillon
put on new Troy coaches, of first class, on the
routes from Stockton to Murphy's, and from
Mokelumne Hill to Sonora. Messrs. Dillon
Co., having secured the mail contracts on
these routes, up to May, 1861, will no doubt
always be enabled to provide the travelling
public with good, cheap, speedy, safe and
prompt conveyance. The drivers and agents
are all steady, sober and competent gentlemen,
who take pride in their profession and strive
to please their patrons.

BIC TREE ROAD MEETING.-To-day the meet
ing for opening the new branch of the Big
Tree road takes place at Cave City. large
amount of funds and labor have already been
expended on the route. We hope the resi-
dents of this section of the county will give
their mite to aid the enterprise. Less than
$4,000 will make good carriage road from
San Andreas to the Big Trees-a distance Of
twenty-three miles-over a gently undulating
country, touching at the Mammoth Cave, Ia
BILE Mountain and the Falls of the San An

HOTEL CHANGEs.-On the road from Stock

class than are usually found on the highways
leading from the plains to the mines One of
the very best on the route is the Spring Valley

public, where good cheer that nourishes and
cherishes, is literally served up. The appear
ance of the wagon stand at the "North Amer

ness The same may be said of Mr. William
Lottman's stand, Dutch Charles Ranch, J
where many improvements have been lately
added to increase the comforts and the facili-
ties of the place. The most important point
on the route is Forman's, (l5 mile house, re-

will take place during the coming week-not

Fourth Crossing in this county, will take
charge of Forman's, San Joaquin county, and
Mr.. Gorham, we hear, will drive his stakes at
Mr.. Masterson's brick building, formerly the
San Joaquin Seminary. Mr.. Mcqueen very
popular landlord, is also fitting up new road
side tavern, just below the Half Way House.
We almost forgot to mention the Golden Hill

west of San Andreas, which appears to be a

MOUNTAIN CLoUDs-Nothinp is more por-
geous and beautiful than the cloud scenery
which circles around the summit of the Sierra
NeVadas at this season of the year. Daily,
and with the utmost punctuality, the white
transparent mists begin their journey from the
green, slumbering valleys below, towards the
rugged landscapes of eternal snow. Slowly
they march upward, one fold of brightness
carelessly and lazly rolling over the upper
edges of another, until a huge mountain of
many-hued clouds is presented to the eye along
the entire line of the Sierras, from the farthest
They seldom produce rain, or assume those
hues of darkness that distinguish the rain
cloud On the eastern slope of the mountains.
however, during July and August, the clouds
which form from the corporations of the melt
ing snow collect in storms, emit thunder and
lightning and discharge copious showers of
rain. Viewed from high point of land, the
contrast between these gay, fantastic air
castles, and the dark glens and sombre forests
beneath is wonderful and striking-Proserpine
in the rugged arms of Pluto-an army of
crystal palaces in Limbo. They are in Limbo,
sure enough; for they cannot pass over the
coid Rights of snow that oppose them, nor re-
turn in the face Of the west wind to the valley ;
so, like troop Of pensive and chastened souls,
wandering listlessly through the melancholy
realms OF Purgatory, they purify themselves
by penance, for brighter and higher Heaven
or, when night has spread his drapery over
the earth, and the eastern breeze comes down
over the mountains brow, they sink again
into the green valleys that gave them birth.
