lected as the name of the Company.
]. d. Palmer was chosen Fifer, and s. w.
johnson elected Drummer
From personal knowledge of the officers
and men of this company, we have no hesita-
tion in saying that it will become one of the
most efficient military organizations in the
State. Capt Hatton is peculiarly fitted for
the position to which he has been called, and
the same remark will apply to the other COM
missioned and to the noncommssioned ofli-
GERS. The "high privates" of the company
will be as ready as the officers to answer any
call that may be made upon them. Should
requisition be made upon this State to fur
nish volunteers for the campaign against
Mormondom, their services will be immedl-
ately rendered; but whether the requlsltion
be made or not, they will maintain their or
ganzation and hold themselves in readiness
to respond to any call Of the General or
State Government. Volcano has the honor
of completing the first military organization
in Amador county; and to those who are en-
gagged in it, as well as to the citizens gener-
ally of that community, we extend our most
cordial congratulation.
TnE PARry.-The Calico Party at Volca-
no, Friday night of last week, was largely,
indeed almost universally attended by the
" beauty and chivalry" Of the Crater City
and vicinity. 1t passed off with great eciat,
and much to the credit of the lady manage
ment. 1t was indeed joyous occasion, aud,
by-the-by, yielded considerable sum of
money more than was required to pay off the
Indebtedness on the school house.
The pleasing Incidents occurring at the
party we're too numerous to make mention
of. For instance, some Of the letters wire
decidedly rich; and the sale of the cake was
feature that was no bore, If there was Il
Gimlet at the head of it. 1t was capital
piece Of auctioneering, and the good look
ing d--t" bough prize slice but did not
get the ring. The music, by Neely, Boyd
ston, Kay and Potter was of course excel
! lent.
AMBRoryPEs.-Mr l. s. Halsey is now
the proprietor of the old Daguerrean Saloon
of Mr. Mace, in Volcano, and we have the
means of knowing that he is one of the finest
operators in the State. The Ambrotypes,
especially taken by him, are as clear and
beautiful as any we have ever seen. pecu-
liar feature is that they are more than ordi-
nariy life-lke, and therefore, to our notion,
much the best picture you could have to send
to your friends at home. When You visit
Volcano, call at Mr.. Halsey's rooms where
you will be politely treated and examine
specimens. If you do so, you will be sure to
agree with US in the estimate we place upon
his pictures.
MoHALA FLAr.-The claims on this fiat
are paying perhaps better than at any pre-
vious time. So valuable is the ground es-
teemed to be that in some instances lines are
stretched between claims being washed by
hydraulic power, to designate exact bounda-
ries
RED GULcH.-Last Wednesday, after a
run Of twenty.four days with .hree hands,
Ed Porter, Nose Robinson q Co., took out
of their claim on Red Gulch, in the Volcano
basin, thirteen hundred dollars.
SoME Volcano matters and things will be
attended to in due time. Anybody takeY

Ems LEDGER;-The great "Calico Party
is over and with the exception of the mar

from some enthusiastic member of the "Vol.
