GGLD MINES ON THE EASTERN SLoPE.-Thc
Territorial Enterprise published at Genoa, Carson
Valley, says that parties have arrived there
from the Walker river mines. They report that
the diggings are what is known as surface dig
gings, averaging about six feet in depth. The
mining at present is almost entirely confined
to the margin of the Middle Fork. Gold, how
ever, has been found on all the principal branch
es in sufficient quantities to warrant good pay.
Prospects have also been obtained on the hills
in the vicinity of the mines, aud the washed
gravel deposits present certain indications of
the existance of rich gold deposits throughout
a vast extent of country. There are at present
about 20 men 10 the mines, and though they
labor under many difficulties and disadvantages
unknown TO California miners, they make from
three to eight dollars per day to the man. Mr.
Curns thinks that with the usual facilities and
due preparation for mining. there would be
no difficulty in averaging eight dollars per day
to the hand. The gold is mostly fine, and is
said TO coin something over eighteen dollars
per ounce.

CONGRESSIONAL REPREsENrArroN.-By the ap

lieved that California will be entitled to five
Representatives in the lower house OF Congress
The number Of Representatives. under the mex,
apportionnent will be 2s4, and the total popu.
lation of the Union in 1860 will be but little il
any, under SO,OOO.OO0. The ratio will then be
q Representative to about $4,000 inhabitants.
The present population of this State is estima-
ted BY the State Registers at5SS, 900, and by the
time the census is taken in 1860 the population
will doubtless exceed $4,000, which will enti-
tie US to Eve members Of Congress. The Con-
gressmen under the new apportionment will

ber, 1868.

FATAL SHOOTING AFFRAY.-A fatal shooting
ARRAY occurred at Hunts Hill last Saturday
afternoon. A man named John Reese told a
Mr.. Samuel that he could beat him ct shooting
for Eve dollars shot. Samuel said ne had but
ffty cents, when Reese remarked that man
was getting id low who had only nfsy cents
and struck at Samuel, who warded on the blow,
and struck back. Reese Immediately stepped
back, drew bis revolver and fred at Samuel
The latter stopped down as the pistol was dis
charged, the ball passed over his head, and
took effect in the breast Of Daniel Snyder, who
was standing behind Samuel. The ball entered
near the right collar bone, passed down, and
lodged against the skin near the back bone.
SNYDER told friend that he was shot in the
breast, and then walked into house and sat
down in chair. He soon became faint and
was laid on the aoor, and died in about half an
hour after being shot, Reese walked off before
il was known that Snyder was dangerously
wounded, and has not been heard from since.
Mr.. Snyder was formerly from Pennsylvania,
and about n years old. He has been in this
country since 1855. Reese has bad reputa-
ton. is quarrelsome, and is reported to have
killed number of men in this country. Last
Friday evening, he raised disturbance at a
ball in Walloupa, and fired two shots at one Of
the managers, but luckily without effect. The
friends Of Mr.. Snyder are endeavoring to get
up reward for the apprehension of Reese.

Tue CHRISTMAS TREE.--An interesting cele-
bratlon took place at the Methodist Chnrch on
Christmas Eve. A Christmas Tree was erected
on a platform in front Of the pulpit, upon the
branches Of which were suspended nearly all
the articles which could be found at the toy
shops. The house was crowded with children
Of all sizes, from the yearlings up to full grown
and the delighted eountsnances of the little
ones denoted that to them at least the Christ
mas was indeed q merry one. Some three
hours was consumed in giving out the presents,
during which continual clatter was kept up
by little tongues and feet Such scenes are
calculated to make one think better Of the
world in which he lives, and years hence, when
the little boys an d girls take our places, and
are occupied with the more serious cares and
duties of life, their minds will often wander
back to the pleasant Christmas spoi Is of their
childhood days.
