THE Calico Party in jackson on the sth
inst, was a most triumphant success, and re-
fleets great credit upon the lady managers.
II was the largest party ever given in the
county, and the handsome sum Of seven hun
dftd and sixty-seven dollars was cleared
above all expenses, in aid of the school house.
All who were present-whether of jackson
and vicinity, or from neighboring villages
enjoyed themselves to the fullest extent. II
was truly glorious occasion.

We are in the receipt of a very important Con
current Resolution introduced in the Senate by the
Hon. L. N Ketcham, relating to 10th and seth
sections donated by Congress for school purposes.
troduced by the same gentleman in relation to the
Boards of Supervisors in Anador and Calayeras
counties. We regret that we cannot publish ard

and sale. A whig President, Mr.. Fillmore,

and sale A Wing President Mr. Fillmore,
also recommended the same thing, but subse-
quentIy changed his mind and recommended
that the mines be allowed to remain undis
turbed and free for all citizens of the United
States to enter upon and work them. The
Democratic sentiment among the people Of
the country was too powerful to admit Of the
PRONUNCIATION of so grand scheme of mon
opoly; and the President wisely gave it up.
When sifted to the bottom, the present
proposition to have the miueral lands ceded
to the State is but a repetition in more plau-
sible FORM Of the old, Anti Democratic mon
opoly scheme Whether so intended or not,
its operation would be the samc-the mines
would in a short time be almost completely
monopolized by the spectators who are
constantly striving to cast their net about the
feet Of the man who earns his bread by the
sweat Of his brow. Even if the Legislature
shall send on their petition, we are confident
there is Democracy enough in the President
and in Congress to refuse its prayer.

Tar PTco CLA1M---lt will be noticed by
our San Francisco correspondence, that this
claim, which covers large extent of mining
country in the vicinity of jackson, aud OH
the Mokeumne river, has been confirmed
This matter is of serious interest to that sec
ton of the country, aud will produce sen.
sation there. Sac Union, llth.
The Union is under mistake. The claim
confirmed in the IT, S, District Court, at San
Francisco, on the 9th inst, was that Of Fran
cisco Pico and others to the place called Los
Calaecras, no part of which is in Amador
county. 1t is the claim Of Andreas Pico to
the place called Arroyo iSeco, (Dry Creek
which is attempted to be floated upon the
"large extent Of mining country in the vicin-
ity Of jackson" If we are not mistaken.
this claim went through the U. S. District
Court by about one year ago.

SALT LAKE NEws.-The latest news from
Salt Lake is not altogether consistent or sat
isfactory One account says COL johnson
aud another that Col Alexander has marched
by or around Salt Lake with 1900 men, and
-camped on this side. 1t is also said that the
number of wagons burned by the Mormons
was 81, and the number Of cattle stolen
1,2o0-to pay for which, the U. 5. army had
taken . 400 cattle from the Mormons. The
latter needs confirmation. 1t is also said
that Col Alexander had made an unsuccess-
ful attempt 10 pass through Echo Canon,
losing four Of his men; but we don't believe
he made a serious attempt Of the kind Upon
the whole, there is little if any doubt but
that pretty strong force Of the y. S. army
is on this side Of Salt Lake. and that the
Mormons will begin to be d0eiie We rather
think the signs of the times indicate that
pretty soon the chances of fight will grow
''small by degrees and beautifully less"

A COOL APOLOGY.

They had ball down at Waverly the 9th
er night, which brought out some remarka-
bic experiences. Among other events, the
following instance of cool apology, took
place:
Bill P. is known all over town, and Bill
was at this ball in ell bis glory. All Of his
necessaries for pleasure were on hsnd-good
music, pretty girls, and excellent whiskey.-
The evening passed of rapidly, as it always
does, and Bill had about one o'clock, become
pretty happy. Stepping up to young lady,
he requested the pleasure of dancing with
her. She replied she was engaged.
"Wel," said Bill, ''are you engaged for the
next se?"
She said she WAS.
"Can dance with you the next them"
81 am engaged tor that also"
"Can dance with you tonight"
"No, SIR" with some hesitsncy.
"Go to Boston," said Bill, highly indig
nant, turning on his heel.
After a few moments Bill is eccosted by
the brother of the young lady, and charged
with Insulting bis sister. Bill denies. but
processes himself willing to apologize, if he
had done wrong, and accordingly steps up to
the young lady, when the following conver-
sation ensued.
Miss L., understand that have insult
ed you"
"You have, sirv'
"What did | say, Miss L."
"You told me to 20 to Boston,"
"Well." said Bill, II have to tell you, that
you needn't go."

"OH LET Me DIE IN SPRING TINE.
Oh let me die in spring time,
When flowers are bright and gay,
When lips are red aud rosy,
When cheeks are iair as day;
When life is like a sunbeam,
When love is in lis bloom,
When woman's heart is softest,
Then lay me in the tomb.
Oh let NE die in spring time,
When morning drops a tear,
To fresheu blu.hing roses,
To deck my lonely bier:
When the pearly shield of winter,
Has lett the CLASSY wave,
When April shakes her tresses,
Then lay me in the grave.
Oh let me die in spring time,
When broken hearts revive,
When clad with perfumed garlands,
The dying spirit strives
To catch the passing breezes,
Which float around It's home;
Then in the merry spring time,
Oh lay me in the tomb!
