AFFAIRS IN SIsKIVou.-We clip the annex
ed items from the Siskiyou Chronicle of
Thursday:
The miners at Hamburg Bar, on the Kla
math, having something besides the almighty
dollar in view have started night school
for their mutual instruction. 1t would GER
tainly be a great improvement on the usual
way of spending the long winter evenings,
if the miners of every little mining town
would get up similar associations for the
same purpose.
Some of our music-loving citizens at Scott
Bar and vicinity, are organizing brass band.
instruments have all been engaged, and also
the services of a teacher, who will come over
from Yreka in few days, when the boys
will take their first lesson in scientific horn
footing.
Var in China-Quite spirited engage
ment took place in the Celestial portion of
Yreka, on last Thursday night Three shots
were exchanged in the encounter, and all for
gal lantry!" 1t would seem that these
"dreamy-eyed lovyers" are making rapid
marches towards enlightenment Evidently
they are taking lessons from their more ad-
vaneed neighbors
Pork Mdrket-We notice that Yreka is
becoming quite a market, not only for pork,
but for beef and other meats grown in the
Umpqua and Rogue river valleys During
the week, drove of several hundred head
of the porcine family were driven into Yre-
ka, from Rogue river. With an outgoing
market, commensurate with the demand
Yreka, in few years, would almost equal
Cincinnati, as a market and general depot for
packing. Her altitude is admirably adapted
to the packing and curing of meat, as the
atmosphere is both cool and pure giving II
solidity which that of the lower country
does not impart.
h Good Omen-A very favorable indica-
ton of the business prosperity of Yreka was
evinced last week in the auction purchase of
Wiesburg's large stock of goods, Merchants
were the principal bidders, and goods gener-
ally sold for all they were worth. Had mer.
chandise been otherwise than prosperous,
others besides merchants would have been
the purchasers, and at lower prices.
News from the surrounding mining camps,
and particularly from those on the river, is
to the effect that but little work has been
done during the cold and disagreeable wea
ther of the past week. Be it said, however,
to the credit of the mines, as we'll as to She
miners, that local inducement is sufficient to
establish permanency and that miners,
when thrown, temporarily, out of active en-
ployment, instead of idling away their time
in useless froeking and ruinous gaming, are
organizing literary societies, bands of music,
and useful entertainments for the occupancy
of their leisure hours.
Thursday last, was the commencement of a
snow-storm. that has continued, at intervals,
up to Tuesday which was clear and com
paratvely warm. SO warm, indeed, has the
atmosphere been during the week, though
much snow has fallen, that sleighng has
been but comparatively poor. Still, the
merry sleigh bells have been borne, rattling
with frosty music, through our streets and
laughing voices have apparently given an
swer in echos to the happiness that nestled
within joyous bosoms.

A THEATRICAL NOBLE IN HIS CUPs.-Edwin
Booth, the young tragedan, formerly of Cal
ifornia, says the ST. Louis correspondent of
the Bulletin, whose late experiences in his
profession have been so full of promise, is
literally wearing his fathers municipalities
as well as jewels. In Cincinnati a short
time since, he went upon the stage, and it be.
came evident at once sl.at he was in no con-
dition to play his part. The audience greet
ed him with Kisses, and though he made sew
eral attempts to recall the words of the play,
and the actors and actresses endeavored, by a
boisterous manner, to rouse him, he failed to
recover himself, and the curtain was dropped
on the first scene of the first act. The stage
manager informed the audience that in con.
sequence of Mr.. Booths "indisposition ;
Richeieu would not be performed and that
those who wished could have their entrance
fee refunded A rush was made to the door,
and some four or five hundred halfdollars
were paid back

Explanatit len.

MARYsvIvILLE, December %, 1858.
Mr.. EDITOR: Having seen publication made
in several papers Of private letter written TO
my father, several months since, giving an ac
count of an operation performed upon my leg,
and fearing that certain terms used therein might
be msconstrued, to the detriment Of the physi-
clans who attended me whilst here, desire, if
you will permit the space in your paper, to state
that it was very far from my intention to reflect
upon them or their treatment of the case as they
well know whatever difference of opinion there
was it was an honest one and preferring to resort
TO the operation, which was performed, upon my
own responsibility, do not wish the impress
sion to prevail that they were negectful or want
ing in icient skill On the contrary the in
innate friendly relations which have always ex'
isted, would preclude that idea. One of them, al
least is still honestly opposed to the operation
having been performed.
Very respectfully, &c.

BRITisH PAPER BY AN AMER1cAN.-Tbe
man who had his name changed by the Cal

Cosmos, is now editing a public journal at
Victoria, in British Columbia, entitled the
British Colonist Amor de Cosmos is repu.
ted to be a man of intellect and classical ed
ucation. At any rate, the copy of his paper
before us, bears evidence of being ably edit
ed. He professes great loyalty to England,
but is not very well pleased with Gov. Doug
lass. We make the following extract from his
article in the British Colonist on the Admin.
istration of "His Excellency"
We do believe that no man ever had a
more favorable opportunity to distinguish
himself as statesman than Gov. Douglass
Everything conspired in his favor. Gold
was discovered in British Columbia. Tens
oil thousands came eager to engage in the in
PRODUCTION of all the appliances of civiiza-
tlon, and thus lay in few weeks the foun-
dation of nation in a land almost unknown.
Nothing was required but mind to organize.
and the disposition to use it. Gov. Douglas

then taken due advantage of that happy
combination Of circumstances, history would
have ranked him with Give and with Has
tings; he would have received the merited
honor of adding bright jewel to the British
Crown. Had he then proved himself states
man, he would have been clearly entitled to
a sp cial reward at the hands Of his Sover.
eign. To day he would have been the most
popular man in these colonies His life
would have been honored; his death lamen-
ted, and his name imperishable.
Unfortunately for these colonies Gov.
Douglas was not equal to the occasion. lie
wanted to serve his country with honor, ond
at the same time preserve the grasping inter.

In trying to serve two masters he was unsuc
cessful as statesman. His administration
was never marked by those broad aud com
prehensve views of government which were
necessary to the times and to the foundation
of great colony. 1t appeared sordid was
exclusive and anti British; and belonged to a
past age. A willy diplomacy shrouded all
