PINE GROVE, Jan. 25th 1858.

EDS. LEDcER:--The miners, at present, are
doing well at this camp. The claim of "Big
Girls & Co.," is paying from $40 to $l5 per
day to the hand, and has paid that way for
two months past; and the claim of Brad
shaw & Kendall is paying the largest kind.
Several other claims around here are giving
down first rate. There are many of our best
claims that cannot be worked now in conse-
quence of the water filling up the drifts The
dirt drfted out last summer is now washed
up, and the boys owning such claims are lay
ing off till the dry season.
We have plenty of good looking ladies,
and our men can drink more lager than any
other set in the county; so we manage to
keep things pretty lively. A me,o Post Office
has been established here, but everybody
don't know where it is; the mail is carried in
a split stick in the air, and beats the telegraph
easy. Yours, minerally. GoUGER.

as dignted and steady as though the "father
of family" En- passant, his bride, with
whom / have the honor of an acquaintance.

manners, and well fitted for the partner of
gentleman in public life. predict that she

to introduce bills with the following titles. viz:
A bill to provide for the better security of
the lives of passengers on board of vessels
propelled in whole or in part by steam, and
for other purposes. This bill is suggested by
the loss of the ill-fated steamer Central Amer
lea, in which Californians have such melan-
choly interest.
Also--A bill to increase the fees of Mar
shals District Attorneys, Clerks of United
States Courts, jurors and witnesses in the
State of California, and Oregon and Wash
intgon Territories.
Also-A bill to establish two additional
Indian Agencies for the State Of California

DEAR LEDGER:--So much has occurred to
me during the past week that | came near

So Well he's been here several days
came up to hunt deer, because wrote to
him that | lived in the mountains and saw a
dear nearly every day. May be l spelt
dear wrong. We've had an awful time of
1t, for he is more murderous on the dictionary
than am. He brought up gallon of "old
rye with him, and we hunted Tin horn, |
making game of every thing. If we didn't
Kill anything, it was owing to 'extenewatin
circumstances" as Frank Stewart would say.
had to show Hank my letters to the Ledger,
and before he had finished the first one, saw,
by the twitching Of the muscles of his face,
that something was coming; and it came as
follows:
Jo," said he, "do you know why that In
dian (pointing to digger who was pokug
his head in at the door, asking for heap bis
cult eaty, } is just what an editor should be?'
"No, | DON'T" said l.
cts because he is we'll red man." said
Hank, therefore you need never aspire, Jo."
] acknowledged that | owed him one, and
waited patiently for chance to pay him off
This happened soon after; for, as was pre-
pairing to get dinner, asked him to cut some
wood Out he went but soon came back and
sung out,
Jo how long do you want that wood?"
"Only an hour" said 1; "dnner will be
cooked by that time"
had heard neighbor get that off, few
days before, and had saved it to pass as Or
iginal. Hank was the victim.
We have exhausted the language in COM
ments on paragraphs in old newspapers.
Send me a dozen or two of your waste ex-
changes next time. Don't be stngy. But
will not run the risk of sending you more
than two or three of our efforts.
The Sacramento Age says:
missouri signifies muddy water Ergo,

A Noad to a Far Widder

BY THE POET OF PIKE.
Upon the banks Of dark river
Whar the gold in bars wos lade,
Thar livs peert and purity widder
In hous Of sawd bords made.
AT baken dodgers shees a snorter,
Heaps her cabling nifty clean.
Smiles on men as widders orter,
Ceptn when they'r orful mean.
Her childerns ar two hansum critters,
Sweeter than the sweetest truck
That ritch foxes use to eat on fritters,
When tha has thar best chemuck.
She is more morrel than a preecher
More dignifder than qucan;
No mocken bird ken ever reatch her
In singer, that ever seen.
OIL on the banks of Cosmy river,
Whar the miners dig the dust
Shoes stole my hart-the far yung widder;
line bound to marry her, or bust.
Now Mr.. Ledger, what do you think Of
that? Can it be that you have ever neglect
ed such an intellectual giant (in embryo) as
p. ofP.? Some of these days I'll make an
attempt at poetry myself; I've tried my hand
at every thing but that If | succeed, you
shall hare the first view.
