formed, says the San Juan Press, that some
miners on the South Yuba, near Badger Hill,
have set sluces the width of the river, in the
channel of the stream itself, and have so ar
ranged it that all the tailings and water will
pass through their boxes, which are provided
with false bottom of blocks, serving as riff.
fes to catch the precious scales. This, in
effect, if, it succeeds, will convert the South
Yuba, at that point, into a mammoth tail
sluice
This is certainly new mining experiment
But will the sluice keep its hold when the
rains come? Or is it low water enterprise?

returned verdict of acquittal after thirteen

man will approve the verdict-the virulent

order, as many complaints are made that
they are left in such bad condition that all
the travel is compelled to seek the toll roads.
The old roads should be kept in repair by

EE 1t has been a favorite idea of the
opposition press of California to persstently
represent Senator Gwin as the peculiar friend
of the Pacific Mail Steamship Company,
and opposed to the establishment and open
ing of mail routes, by land or sea, that would
likely conflict with the profits Of hat com
pany. His strenuous exertions for the pas
sage of Pacific Railroad BILL untiring, but
unavailing as they have proven so far are
even tortured by these groveling spirited
prints, into efforts that had for their on y aim
the continuance Of government patronage TO
the Mail Company, and the strengthening Of
the hands of that monopoly. The sapeint
editors of these sheets have denied to Mr..
Gwin the possession ofany candor or homes
to, and have the ef'rontery to declare that,
when he says one thing he means another
and when earnestly at work for great nation
al enterprises that will inure to the benefit
of California, he is in reality opposed to
them. They will not Judge him by his rec
ord, but with the proneness characteristic of
mean minds, seek by these dastardy attacks,
to deprive him of that degree Of public re-
gard that his eminent services to California
are so justly entitled
Although Mr.. OWNS railroad measure has
never passed Congress, he has been success
full in aiding in the establishment Of the
great Overland Mail routes that are now al
most daily arriving and departing from the
State. The service he has rendered in this
respect has been also denied by these same
honest presses, who, when driven to the wall
by the facts, still further establish their claim
to littleness of soul, by charging Mr.. Gwin
as favoring an extreme Southern route. To
disabuse the public mind, and have Mr.. Gwin
judged by his official record, on the outside of
todays Herald, we publish portion of the
debate upon the subject in the Senate of the
United States, on the 9th Of February,
1857. The general appropriation bill being
under discussion, Mr.. Rusk, from the Com
mittee on Post Offices and Post Roads, Of
ferd an amendment the adoption of which
has resulted in the establishment of the pres
ent overland mails. Mr.. Gwin and Mr.
Weller participated in the discussion, and
exhibit that devotion to the interests of Cal
ifornia, that as representatives of the State
was expected from them. This debate il
part of their legislative history, and is the bes
refutaton of the false and indicative assault
of hireling press that can be given. Th
