whilst returning from Murphys to Mok. Hill,

Mr.. Editor II send you few items in re-
gard to this camp. We have very lively times
here at present. The miners on the river
have their claims pumped out, and the ground
ready to work. H. Gloring l. Co. took ou,
six hundred dollars last week in three days
washing; ONeil l. Co. washed out twenty
three ounces in one pan of dirt, and washed
up $4,000 in one day, from drifted dirt. The
claims on the Bar are paying very large wa
ges. The following claims are paying from
Sc to $50 per day:
Wilson l. Brother, McGonagle l. Co., NJ.
Paro l. Co., n Greigor Brother, Martin l.
Co., Independent Co., VIM. Wethep, Van Cor
der b Co., Henry Sidden l. Co., and Dunning
l. Brown. The water is getting scarce at
Camanche Camp, but it promises to be the
largest camp in the county the coming winter.
The Lancha Plana Ditch Co. are extending
their ditch about six miles, and it will cover
an immense amount of mining ground, that
has been well prospected and worked with
cradles, and paid from 50 to S. per day.

as the trail of serpent, winding amid tnose
stupendous obelisks; now stopping for an in
slant in its hurried career to collect its shat
tered waters, again to plunge over other sleeps
and whirl and eddy. for moment at the bot
tom, then gliding smoothly onward until its
sheen and its murmurs are lost in the depth
of the oriental-tinted forest, forms one of the
most charming combinations of the sublime
and the beautiful, in enchanting distance, that
we have ever beheld.
The western sides of Table mountain rise
up like wall, to the height of 1900 feet
Within the concave channel of this vast mass
of rock, for hundreds of miles, is an old river
bed which has been prospected by tunneing,
in many places on the same range. The Ta-
lie Mountain at Sonora, is a continuation of
this range. The old river-bed there, has been
reached in many places and found to be very
rich.
The timber and shrubbery around the Falls
is Of many varieties-some Of which are rare
in this State. We noticed the shittim-wood
bay, witch-hazel, dog-wood, alder, plum, cher
ry, and a number of varieties of evergreen.
Wild fruits and berries are abundant. The
ilbert, the plum, the gooseberry and thimble-
berry are most readily obtained.
Leaving this great natural wonder, we took
the old trail which leads to Murphy's. The
country over which we passed looked rough
and wild; but the fine, bracing mountain air
was most benefcent recompense for all the
fatigue we suffered. On the top of high
hill between Old Indian Greek and the San
Domingo, we came suddenly upon lonely
grave, situated in small glade, through
which the trail passed. There was rude
head and foot stone to indicate place of hu-
man sepulture, but
"No nsme no years.
The place Of fame and elegy supply"
1t was known that he was murdered, and con-
jectured that it was for his money but the
murderer has never been found, nor the name
or nativity of the victim ascertained. We
learned that there are many such silent testi-
monials of the lawlessness of the old deni-
zens of that creek, deposited among these
lonely hills. In all the shocking annals Of
crime which darken the character Of eur State
there is no section of it which has contribu-
a larger proportion than San Domingo. In
T85f-'2 l. g, assassina tiens and murders were
of almost daily occurrence. At that time
however, there were from five to six hundred
miners engaged on this stream, and two-thirds
of these were of Spanish-American descent
The scene is greatly changed-for better and
for worse most of the miners are gone, and
with them the gold of course, this ends the
era of crime.
We arrived at Murphy's wearied and sore
but recruited in health and delighted with G
trip to which we would earnestly recommend
all invalids and pleasure seekers. We tax,
occasion to return our sincere thanks TO Mr.
and Mrs. Butts, and to NJ de Fontambert, anC
Mr.. James Burdick, all of Cave City, for tn.
kindest of favors and most amiable and hos
pitable treatment. We also return thanks t.
Messrs. Sperry Perry, of the Exchange Hotel
Murphy's, for kind attentions.

LETTERS FROM FRASER RIVER.
Fort YALE, July, 9th, 1858.

Fort YALE, July, 9th, 1858.
Dear Sr:-After a voyage of twenty-five
days from San Francisco to Victoria, and one
months 'cadging" up and down Fraser river,
we VIII give you few lines, although the
conveniences for writing are rare, we assure
you. We first came up Fraser river as far as
Fort Hope on the steamer Surprise, third trip.
We found the river too high for mining, and
consequently sold out our little grub at good
profit and returned to Victoria. We then
bought long canoe, freighted her with pro-
visions and came up to this place, which is
about one hundred and fifty miles from the
mouth of the river,-but, oh Lord, forbid that
we should take another such trip; the Arc
tic region is nothing compared with it. Now
we have struck our camp on a Sand Beach,
all the while keeping sharp look out for
diggings; yet here let me tell you and all the
boys, to say to those unfortunate miners who
are so excitable, that the river is too high for
mining, provided there is any gold here to dig
and for them not to start before the lst of
September there are some men here who are
doing well, but not many, and all the mining
news much exaggerated, although we believe
that the diggings are very good; no one can
tell anything about them before the river falls,
which is certainly true. Miners, here, run
great risks and in many respects the great
est danger is from the Indians; there are q
great many here, they are very saucy, bold
and daring, and must be whipped into obedi-
ence and submission before miners can safely
operate in this vicinity. The Indians are SUI
perior to those in California and will be hard
to whip.
John E. Freeze and wife went up to Thomp-
son river, and have been out about one month.
Mr.. F. had succeeded in getting good claim,
but last evening we heard that they were now
on their way down here, being drove back by
the internal Indians. We meet a great many
Calaveras boys here; Bill Palmer, Big Bill,
John Canada Martin Butler, and many others
The boys all seem in good spirits. We will
give you a more lengthy letter next time.
Respectfully yours. J. C. McCARrY.
