PETER THE HERMT.--Last Sunday morning we
saw man with book in hand standing in front
his cabin door, preaching the gospel to three 9th
er men who sat on a bench before their door,
some three hundred yards from the preacher
And he cried, with loud voice. Repent ye, Tor
the kingdom of heaven is at hand The scene
was one of peace and beauty; All about their
cabin were floods of sunshine big dog lay
under a tree shade cat sat lazily on projec-
ting roof-pole, and a pot was boiling in an OUT
door fireplace, and suspended by two forked
sticks and cross pole. There was no sound of
Sabbath breaking misunderstanding disturbed
the still air but the voice of the eccentric preach
err who cried aloud and spared not We knew
not who called him to preach we reckon it was
the still, small voice, which rouses the Christian
to prayer at the day dawn, and turns his face to
the ground when he feels the presence of invisi-
BILE Deity about him. At any rate the preacher
was not preaching for money, for he had no dea-
con to send round with the contribution box
We suppose he was a sort Of heavenly guerrilla,
harrassng Satan at the outskirts Of his domin-
ions, and designing to pick off any struggling
sinner who might come in range of his ecclesias-
tical battery.

HuMBo1DT INDIAN Wharf.-The dispatch au-
nouncing Gov. Weller's resolve to order out for
ces to chastise Indian thieves and murderers was
received here with approval. a large company
can be had in this county, of men who will cause
the Indians to remember the occasion OF their
visit. They must be dealt with backwoods fash
ion, or they will be numbering and stealing again
before the troops get back from the hunt 1t is

protect the savages at the cost of citizens lives
The coastward tribes are under control of an in
dependent Chief one cares nothing for treaty
with another, but on occasion of war all band to-
gether. The Redwood, Mad River, Hoopa and
Burnt Ranch Indians have been all more or less
mixed up in the business They should be clean
ed out of the country, dead or alive, and kept
out, and every squaw-white- should be dealt
with in like manner. OF course parlor tacticians
will condemn such procedure, and write poetry
on Lo, the poor Indian but their humane sem
timent will not protect the families Of settlers
from murder and burning.

Our brisk little friend, the Union Democrat, is
very unproftably exercised about the political
complexion of this journal, and is led into vast
number of errors in an incredibly short space and
time. The Democrat has never quite forgiven us
for unceremoniously setting it on the wrong side
of the fence political, on certain occasion, which
occurred through our aversion to politics, and
consequent ignorance of the Democrats peculiar
views. 1t occurs to us that our Sonora friend
has very imperfect conception of the privileges
of an independent newspaper If he will do us
the honor of perusng ours occasionally, he will
discover that we write pretty much what we
please, and can without peril of dccapiation or
suspension of fodder, censure error wherever
discoverabe. We can, moreover, question the
omniscience of an executive without condemning
the principles of his party. We assure our re-
viewer that he has embraced a prodigious error
in supposing that we desire to swap this indepen-
dence of speech for the ue-broth on which Sec
ondary political journals subsist; and, perhaps.
it is as well to add that the paragraph commented
on, has had more influence than ten columns of
journal instructed to a certain walk and con-
versation.

LANDSCAPE FROM THE RocE.-UpOn n summit
from whence the everlasting SHOWS contribute to
swell the rivers, we stand and look on the face of
the rough but golden earth. The chimney-like
peaks that seem to have been spared amid the
devastations of time, for some wise purpose, ap-
pear as if poised Oh mountains top and look as
If the next wintry gale would hurl them to tie
depths Of that dread ravine below, SO deep that
an enlivening ray Of sunshine never penetrates
there. In their solemn grandeur they return the
first greetings Of the new born day and see the
last rays Of the setting SUN, as he descends into
the vault Of night. In old time story, perchance,
the surges Of n stormy ocean have beat in fury
around their base but the ocean has receded and
these, our wondrous landmarks, still remain. We
love the airy freedom which we have so often en-
joyed from off their lonely heights, and we love,
too, TO think that we are above world where
care Is an inheritance and where the aspirations
Of men seldom 90 higher than the msts that
obscure the valleys in which they live.-Nountain

MUTE ELoQUENCE.-About twenty PAGES from
where we now sit nditing these lines Is litto
hillock Of dry earth, just perceivabe above the
grey waste that surrounds IL. At one end has
been placed a small stone, which may have served
to adjust ifile-boX, but without mark or in
scription upon its rough surfarc TO denote the
hallowed dust beneath. The spot was once ador
ned by group Of the stately oaks which give
such quaint but charming appearance to onr
mountain landscapes. 1t is the last rest Of one
of the old pioneers. Eight years ago he left his
cheerful New England hearth and sought fortune
in the golden sands of these hills. Fortune bent
an angry eye upon his adventure. He lay down
one summer day, under the shadow Of his favorite
tree, and died. Who shall tell the bitter agony
of his soul in the final hour, as the bright visions
OF another day passed one by one in review before
his mind, under the rear-guard captaincy Of
death 7 The stranger scooped out a shallow vault
and laid him there forever. Next day, in the
mighty rush OF life, death and the victim were
alike forgotten. Some Vandal hand. prompted
by heart cold as ice, laid the axe to the pillars
Of the grand old forest that nodded over his tomb,
and now the place is desert. Honored be his
bones. The fame OF AIaric with a river to guard
the sanctity Of his sepulture, Is not more secure
than his. One lived to lay waste and destroy,
the other served as unit in the building Of an
empire. These mute testimonials of q brave and
intrepid race, which are so often stumbled over
in the mnes are suggestive of sublime thoughts.
Laying ASIDE tne laisc charBe OF general sordld-
ness, aud judging our people by the grand results
of their labor, these hardy pioneers appeal to the
gratitude OF future ages with irresistible eo-
quence. In other times, when an enlightened
shall comprehend the great merit Of
their courageous sacrilces-when vineyard, and
temple, and city, and millions of happy, prosper
GUS people shall inhabt these mountains, these
now neglected or forgotten relics will be collected
together with a careful hand, and preserved in
the most sacred urn Of the Commonwealth They
are the Argoneauts OF the New World, and the
perfume of their deeds will reach the thousand
islands of the sea, and extend far down the dim
aisles of Time. II will be the grateful task of
history, legend and song, to reproduce them
from the tOmb.-Sdn Andreas Iadependent.

DEMocRACY AND SLAvERY.-Thc Democratic
party takes the institution of slavery as recog-
nized by the Constitution and existing under
that instrument, and neither argues its extension
to the wishes of the States in which it has life
and being Under the popular sovereignty or
States rights doctrine, the people of each State
have the right to regulate their own internal af-
fairs This is guaranteed TO them, and the DEM
ocratic party recognizes this guarantee and lives
up to It. We say that if our neighboring State
chooses to have slavery within her borders that
is her business. not ours neither is il the business
of any other State, great or small, far or near

BIG 'INGUNS.'-- Mr.. j. w. Winslett, of Burnt
Ranch, and who was wounded by the Indians
when Chauncey Miller was killed, gave us two
almighty big inguns,' seventeen inches in cir
cumferance, each, and weighing four pounds, to-
gether. He says that other vegetables grow pro-
portionately large on Burnt Ranch--he grew a
turnip of % pounds, solid and good. Such are
the lands devastated by the thieving, lurking,
numbering Indians as the name Of the ranch sig
nifcantly indicates. Since the murder of Miller

dentally discovered skulking through the woods,

poetical and prosac extracts that goes to make

CAUSES OF PREMATURE ExPLosIoN.-Dr. Cyrus
D. Aiken, of Downieville, and one of the best
physicians of this State, explains the cause OF
frequent unexpected explosions in rock blasting
He says ignition results from not putting the
tamping compactly on the powder, so as to ex-
lude air before heavy blow is struck. When a
vacuum is left a blow on the tamping iron con-
denses the air which gives out fire
"Any person can prove this, by obtaining a
glass cylinder, two or three inches long. and an
inch in diameter, closed ar-tight at one extremity,
and putting piston in the other end, air tight;

of the cylinder; fit the piston in the open end of
