CHEROKEE, Jan. 14th, 1856

CHEROKEE, Jan. 14th, 1858.
EDITORS JOURNAL :-Cherokee has
been so long unnoticed by the county
journals that it is almost forgotten. Will
you give it hearing 1t is located on
an extensive gravel range, which for
uniform good mining is not surpassed by
any part of the State. At present we
are suffering severely from the want of
water When the snow that is now
falling has changed to a more subtle ele-
ment we will send you mining items that
will eclipse even the far famed "Gouge
Eye" The basin of the gravel deposit
being extremely difficult of access at
this point has never yet been opened on
the bed rock. 1t is now in fair way
to be thoroughly prospected. Gill &
Co. on Badger Hill. have nearly COM
pleted tunnel which will be seventy
feet below the surface of the bed rock
inside the basin. DR.. Clarke, Bloss &
Co. are vigorously driving the Earth
quake tunnel from Shady Greek, for
the purpose of draining the basin from
the south side. When these tunnels
are finished Cherokee will doubtless
rank high among the mining towns of
this ridge. Even without them the pro-
ceeds from our surface diggings during
the water season range from ten to thir-
ty dollars per day to the man.
Our town is the residence of two cele-
brated chroniclers, Quilp and Crucible,
who through the North San Juan Star
keep the public generally posted con-
cerning noteworthy incidents transpir-
ing in this vicinity. Latterly, hcwever,
having crossed "antlers'' in a fierce
personal encounter they have forgotten
to note the formation of spirited deba-
ting club which bids fair to rival the ora
tory of Greece and Rome. Ifdeclama-
ton, loud and bombastic, is eloouence,
Demosthenes is eclipsed forever.

when the laws of climate have absolute
ly forbid it. Truly Squatter soter-
eighty,
Produces sapless leaves instead of fruits"
All this opening of the food-gates of
sectional strife since the halcyon days of
Millard- Fillmore, we are forced -te--be-
lieve amounts to uot ct preterea mill, or,
as the Devil said when he sheared the
hog, "a agreat cry and little WOOL
Will rupture take place in the De-
mocracy 2 We can only judge by the
indications which are strongly in the
affirmation. Douglas in his .'great
speech" as Forney terms it, seems to
have an eye to a severing of political
ties when he says: Il should regret
any social or political estrangement
even temporarily; but if it must be, if
cannot act with you and preserve my
faith and my honor, Will stand on the
great principle of popular sovereignty,
which declares the right of all people to
be left perfectly free to form and regu-
late their domestic institutions in their
own way. I will follow that principle
wherever its logical consequences may
take me, and l will endeavor to defend
it against assault from any and all quar-
ters"
In Forney's Press we find such ex-
pressions as the following: "Every
Democrat must tremble for the future of
his party and country at the present in
sidious attack upon the most cherished
article of freeman's faith" "a party
that would seem, even, to demand of its
members unqualified qualification, must
soon go down before the contempt and
e1ecrations of an intelligent and free
people"
And, again, the Press says, if the
course of the President is insisted on
the Democratic party as at present or
ganized will vanish as hoar-frost before
the rising sun. 1t does not seem likely
that the President with his formidable
array of hackers will secede from the
position he has taken. On the contrary
sustained as he is by the majority of
both Houses of the National Legisla-
ture it is more than probable that his
recommendations on the Kansas ques-
ton will become the supreme law of the
land.
Great stress is laid by the Democratic
journals of this State upon the extreme
courtesy of the speech of Douglas and
letter of Walker towards the President,
and an omen of harmony drawn there
from. 1t is the custom with execution
ers to ask pardon ere the axe descends
Of the culprit for the blow about to be
given. We find many indications that
spirit is aroused throughout almost the
entire Union and especially the north
west against the stand occupied by Bu-
chanan. The dissenters express them
selves as regretting the issue forced
upon them, but that conscientious re-
gard for consistency and right dictates
their course. The other side is marked
with intolerance and the party lash is
not lightly applied from this quarter,
provoking an air of defiance from the
opposing forces. Douglas has taken his
grounds counting well the cost before
hand and relying upon the integrity to
principle in his party will not easily sue
cumb.

acterize the attempt of Mr.. Gray of San
Francisco to introduce into the Assem-
bly, resolution endorsing The course of
Senator Douglas, a mean trick and
pounce on the poor old Irish representa-
tive without mercy. What have the
Democracy to say now to the introduce
ton of the resolutions censuring Con-
gress for the election of Banks as Speak
er of the House two years since? Mr.
Gray asks the Democratic party to show
its hand on great principle of popular
sovereignty. The Banks resolutions
were designed to kindle the fires of sec
tionalism throughout the State, aud alb
solutely did more than any other one
act to force out Republican party in
this State. What is sauce for the goose
is sauce for the gander. Let the Dem
ocracy be hung on their own gibbet.
The people want to know if the party
they have chosen to rule the country are
drifting from its moorings. They know
well that Pierce went into office with a
warm pledge on his lips to maintain the
compromises of 1850 intact, and to de-
cry agitation in every shape. They
know he falsifed that pledge, and they
want to know if Buchanan elected to
carry out the principles of the Nebras
ka Act is proving treacherous, and the
party leaders with him, to those princi-
pies. Mr.. Gray's resolution will test it.
THE Grass Valley Telegraph says we
scout the idea of the public having any
thing to say upon the question of the
County Debt, and gives garbled quo
tation from our article to help out its
misrepresentation. IF the Telegraph
will examine its back files and give us
credit for the articles filched from this

from the infinite trouble it has been to in

fed. Dye mind that now.

DESTROYING THE ROMANCE.

A capital story is told of young fellow,
who, one Sunday, strolled into village
church, and, during the service, was cleo
trifed by the sparkle Of pair of brilliant
black eyes, which were riveted upon his
face. After the service, he saw the pos
SCISSOR of the witching orbs leave the church
alone; and emboldened by her glances, he
yentured to follow her, his heart aching
with rapture He saw her look behind,
and fancied she evinced some emotion at
him. He then quickened his pace, and
she actually slackened hers, as if to let him
come up with her; but We will permit the
young gentleman to tell the rest in his own
way:
"Noble young creature" thought l; );
+" her artless and warm heart is superior
to the bonds of custom
n reached within a stones throw of her.
She suddenly halted, and turned her face
towards me. My heart swelled to bursting.
| reached the spot were she stood. She
began to speak, and took off my hat as if
doing reverence to an angel.
Are you peddler?'
"No, my dear girl that is not my occu
patton
Well, I don't know continued she,
not very bashfully, and cycling me very
sternly, II thought when I saw you in the
meeting house, that you looked like the
pedler who passed off pewter half dollar
on me about three weeks ago and so was
determined to keep an eye on you. Broth
er John has got home now, and he says ii
he catches the feller he'll wiring his neck
for him; and l amt sure but you're the
good od-for-nothing rascal, after ALL

A BIne Bird IN Botae.-The West
Roxbury Mass. Gazette gives the follow
ing item:
Gone of our neighbors happening to
have a large bottle, bethought himself of
placing it in the branches of a tree near
his house for the birds to build in. After
a short time the members of the family
perceived pair of blue birds continually,
day after day, flying about and coming up
to the mouth Of the bottle, as if endeavor-
ing to get in After this had lasted about
week, the gentleman one day took a ham
mer up to the tree to knock Oft the neck OF
the bottle, so that these birds might enter,
when upon so doing blue bird few out.
The poor prisoner had undoubtedly succeed
ed in making his way in, but from the slip
perry ascent to the neck had been unable to
escape, and had probably been supported
there by his two outside brethren"

BURSTS OF ELOQUENCE.

the following bursts of eloquence which it
says were delivered before court of JUS
tice in this state:
Your honor sits high upon the adora-
BILE seat of justice, like the Asiatic rock of
Gibraltar while the eternal streams ofjus-
tice, like the cadaverous clouds Of the val
ley flow meandering at your feet
This reminds us Of the commencement
Of speech of lawyer in New Jersey
Your honors do not sit there like marble
statues to be waited about by every idle
breeze

harangue with The important crisis
which were about to have arriven, have ar
roven.'
Another. The Court will please to OBJ
serve that the gentleman from the East
has given them very learned speech.
He has roamed with old Romulus; Soaked
with old Socrates; Ripped with Euripides,
and Canted with old Cantharides-but
what, your honor, what does he know about
| the laws of Wisconsin 2
A young lawyer in one of our own
Courts, commenced his defense as follows;
- May it please your honor, the Deluge
has passed over tPe earth, the Ark has res
ted upon the mountain, and the Rainbow
of Justice shines as beautifully upon my
colored client, as it does upon any one in
the court, including the jury
