First, this Bogus sheet sells portion of its
columns to these Mercury
The above remark was made by the Mcr.
cury, a paper published in Sacramento, in re-
gard to the NATIONAL DEMoCRAT We sup
pose, il we were to bring up the Mercury,
with "round turn" and demand of it what
it meant by saying that this paper had sold a
portion of its columns to the Republicans,
it would say, "Why, you published the Re
publican ticket True, we did publish the
Republican ticket as an advertisement, and so
stated at the time But, the assertion of the
Mercury is somewhat too broad for so slender
a foundation, and, therefore, sinks below the
true dignity of journalism. A well conducted
political journal should deal fairly, and state
nothing which cannot be maintained to the
full extent of the language which is used
The Express copies the remarks of the Mer
eury, very complacently. We confess We
expected a little better of the Express. But
no matter. We suppose we have no right to
expect any sort of fair treatment from the
organs of party which has never dared to
meet the existing issues of the day fairly
before the people of this State. Their game
has been injustice and misrepresentation from
the beginning, and esuppose they must keep
it up This system of political journalizng
we have no taste for. We prefer the force
of truth and argument, and such are the wea-
pons we aspire to use; but every one to his
own taste
The Express and Mercury seem to be aw.
fully exercised, because the Republicans have
no organ. If they are so desirous of seeing
the Republican flag hoisted, let them hoist
it, themselves. We never shall do it, that is
certain Let them hoist it, for We would as
soon fight them with the Republican flag
over them as the Lecomptonite-oue is about
as good as the other. Each flag waves over
an organization that is utterly opposed to
Democratic principles.

GUNPowNER USED IN HYDRAULIC MINING
The latest experiment in hydraulic mining
says the North San Juan Press, is the en-
ployment of powder for the purpose of loos-
ening the bank by blasting, which leaves it
in condition to fall more readily when sub
jected to the action of stream of water
This idea has recently been put in practice at
Junction Bluff, Nevada county, in the claims
of Trevethick & Co. short drift is run in
at the base of the bank, and from that lit
tie side drift is made, into the side of which
a quantity Of powder. in the keg, is placed
and packed in firmly with dirt, fuse being
attached by means of which the blast is fired
The explosion opens the pores of the bank,
so to speak, to such an extent that it crum-
bles and falls very readily under the streams
of water powerfully projected against it
One such blast has furnished sufficient earth
for weeks washing, and the use of powder
in this manner saved the above company, it
is said, considerable amount on their water
bill for short period. This is quite likely
for these deep banks are sometimes as hard
as cement, and the water will dash against
them a long time before sufficient cavity is
worn out to cause the fall of the mass above
From one hundred to two hundred inches Of
water are used by many companies, and at
30 cents per inch, this indispensable agent is
excessively costly in such large quantities -
If this application of blasting, upon being
generally tested, as it doubtless will be,
should prove successful, a great saving will
result to the miner, yet without prejudice to
the interests of ditch companies.

alleging that the defendant performed the
"Cesarian operation" upon the lady where it
was unnecessary, uncalled for and in every
way reprehensible. They further allege that
the operation was unskillfully performed, and
has permanently injured the lady. They
claim $4,000 damages
On the other side, the defendant has filed
an answer, in which he says that he never
took charge of the case except as surgeon,
and that the accoucheur in attendance neg
lected to perform his duty, and gave the de-
iendant wrong Information. The papers in
the case go into details, which cannot be pub

LANDER's BAR, October I, 1853.
EDITOR DEMOCRAT: Some few days since
observed a communication in your paper Civ
ing an account of the mining operations at
this place Your correspondent neglected to
give you an account of n company of Kama
kas, comprising ten men who are located at
the lower end of National Bar This COM
pany have been in their present location since
1850 Several of them have their families
with them. They are making as much as
$40 per day to the man.
Next above is the Sardine Company They
have averaged sS day during the season.
L. B. Clark took ont, last week, nearly
81, 200 This is the fifth week that he has
taken out nearly the same amount, at an ex.
pense of about S400 per week On Satur
day last he struck dirt that paid over $40 to
the pan. The average of his pay dirt this
week is much better than any he has had du-
ring the season.
The Irish wing dam paid, last week, $40
a day the hand.
Daley & Co., on the opposite side of the
river, have been very unfortunate, their
works having broke down Just as they reach
ed the pay dirt Their machinery is now in
good running order, and they have, at great
expense, again reached the pay dirt, which is
very rich. Yours, PAroH.

DEATH OF THE PHRENoLoGIsT AND PHnoso-
PIER, GEORGE CoMBE.-So universally has
Combe's Constitution of Nan been read in
America, says n London correspondent Of
the Bulletin, writing on the Goth August,
that news of the authors death cannot be
without interest in California. George Combe
was man as remarkable in his way as your
own Franklin and commands as wide fame,
ms a slrewd, practical philosopher, whose
lessons of improvement have done much to
better the condition of humanity. Next to
the Bible, and Robinson Crusoe there have
been greater number of Combes book sold
than of any other work eXtant Mr. Combe
exempliied in life the value of his teachings
on health, for though of weak frame, and
victim of a pulmonary complaint from ear
ly life, he prolonged his days to the full three
score and ten years allotted to man, and en-
joyed that life, too in spite of disease and
weakness. His brother, DIR. Andrew Combe,
who was similarly afflicted, attained also to
a good old age, by aid of sound knowledge
and careful guidance. George Combe died
a few days back, at Moor Park, celebrated
place for hydropathic practice, though the
Scotch philosopher was not there rs patient,
but merely went to enjoy the pleasant society
always gathered together at that establish
ment.
