SuccEss.-Mr. John B. Jones. who has
been in California only two years, left on the
last steamer for Pennsylvania, whore he de-
signs making his homo. He carried with him
about $50, 900, the result Of his mining ope-
rations for the two years. He mined in the
vicinity of San Juan. The San Juan district
has probably made more men wealthy than
any other locality in the world, and We are

Thank you, neighbor, for your frank
praise of our little place, and it is all

Mr.. Jones probably took homo with
him $16,000-even that is pretty
fair reward for two years. labor.
There are miners here, however, who
have made near the figure given by

make more than that. San Juan will
in time be one Of the weslthiest vil-
lagos in the State, as it is already one

CELEBRATION EXTRAORDINARY

While all the world has been cele-
brating the success of the Atlantic
Telegraph, no attention has been paid
to that wonderful stranger in the hea-
vens-which Col. Baker calls +" the
majestic, swift, electric telegraph Of
the Almighty beyond merely ga
zing at him with scientific or with ig-
norant wonder. No public receptions
have anywhere been accorded him,
no dinners given nor medals struck
in his honor, nor have people even
flattered him by exhibiting alarm at
his flaming approach. Indignant at
this shameful neglect Of the illustrious
knight Grant of space, the apprecia-
tive citizens Of Cherokee extemporized
grand demonstration in his honor
on Tuesday night, and distinguished
themselves by the happy idea over
every other town on this planet. The
houses were brilliantly Illuminated, a
huge bonfire blazed in the main street,
one hundred guns Cor anvils) where
fred, Thos. King, Esq, delivered an
able address upon comets, Mr.. Thos.
Hannah responded to the calls of the
enthusiastic crowd in some happy re-
marks welcoming the celestial wan-
derer, and Mr.. Frank Wilder uttered
some Of his poe.ical fancies in his
praise. Every body turned out on
the occasion, and everybody was de-
lighted. The comet seemed very
much pleased with his reception, and
wagged his fiery tail in token of ap-
proval, but retired at an early hour,
leaving his Cherokee friends to enjoy
themselves until eleven o'clock. This
celebration is no fiction composed to
meet editorial exigencies, but genu-
inc fact that occurred at the place
and time and in the manner described
above. It was really a beautiful
idea, that of welcoming back to the
gaze of mankind the wondrous object
which greeted the astonished eyes Of
our fearful ancestors centuries ago.
And if men usually delighted in the
contemplation of heavens magni6-
cence, the millennium might be prob
ability. All honor to Cherokee
