RACES. A correspondent at Snow
Point gives the following account of
races, horse and foot, that came off on
Sunday last, at Chipp's Flat:
The contestants were the Wagner
horse and Whipple's mare, Peg Leg; dis
tance 300 yards; s25Oa side. The Wag-
oner horse won the race very easily, his
rider holling him in nearly half the dis
tance and only allowing him to come in
fifteen feet ahead. Two other horse
races were run the same day, as also a
foot race for purse of $50 won by Cor
nishman.

SUNDAY LAW UNcoNsTITuTIoNAL.-
Chief Justice Terry made decision on
Saturday last, qualifedly concurred in
by Justice Burnett, and dissented from
by Justice Field, declaring the Sunday
law passed by the last Legislature un
constitutional. Chief Justice Terry
takes radical view of the question, and
is opposed apparently, to any legal en-
actment to protect Christian Sabbath.
Burnett is doubtless compromise be-
tween Terry aud Field, the latter TAX
ing a directly opposite view from the
former.
The Sunday law may be considered
of no binding force for the present, but
we do not doubt that an observance of
the Sabbath might be procured in this
place by a proper effort on the part of
our citizens. Most people, we find are
in favor Of relaxation from business
one day in the week. A great many Of
the merchants will not open hereafter.
If all who are anxious to see the Sab
bath observed would combine to throw
their custom in favor of these, the re
fractory would FAKE a losing game of
keeping open and would be glad to sub
init to public opinion very shortly.

1--WE have just learned from Mr.. H. w,
Stephens, who came in directly from
Gentry county, that Peter Stephens,
Esq, deputy surveyor of Gentry county d.
made discovery of gold on Cowan's
branch, one ofthe tributaries of the west
fork of Grand river. Several old Cali
fornians are now at work on the branch
making from one to sic dollars per day.
The gold is very fine and light, and it is
believed ny those who are digging for
it, that heavy deposits exist somewhere

ARRIVAL OF THE SANTA CRUZ.
Frazer River News not so Good.
SAN ERA,

SAN Francisco, July l, 3P. M.
The steamer Santa Cruz arrived this
morning from Victoria and Bellingham
Bay, which places she left on Tuesday
evening-making the trip in four days.
She brings ffty-six passengers but no
gold dust. The news is anything but
hattering.
The following is the price of provis-
ions at Whatcom
Hams, soc; Flour, $40; Coffee, 33to5O
cts; Potatoes 60 cents Mules two to
three hundred dollars
The steamer Sea Bird is high and dry
aground in Frazer River and will not
likely get off this year as the water is
receding slowly.
There are from three to four thous-
and persons at Whatcom doing nothing
and five hundred to one thonsaud who
would have come back in the Santa
Cruz if they had money There were
fifty passengers in the steerage and five
who worked their passage down.
There are 200 gambling tables at
Whatcem all doing first rate bust
ness.
About fifty ounces of gold dust came
down in the hands of passengers.
Lots selling in Whatcom from 81
to S1,500.
Fifteen hundred tickets have been
sold for the Cortez and Orizaba to sail
tomorrow.

NED. McGowAN.-The Ubiquitous
ventured from his retreat at Sacramento
a few days since and took passage for
San Francisco. On arriving at the lat
ter place he was arrested for libel, shot
at and nearly scared to death, before he
could get off, which he succeeded even
tually in doing forfeiting his bond of
$3.50 for appearance at court to answer
to a charge of libel. 1t was supposed
he took passage for Frazer river in the
Sierra Nevada, but the report is contra
dicted.

Frazer River,

Late accounts from Frazer are calcu-
lated to throw distrust upon the gold
fields there. The excitement, however.
still continues and probably will con-
tinue to some extent till demand for
the marvellous is somewhat satisfied
Every dog has his day and Frazer must
have its rum. No effort that the press
can put forth would be of any avail
There is an excitable population that
must visit the new gold regions before
reason will resume its wonted channels.
Hardly a stage leaves that has not at
least half a dozen miners on their way
to Bellingham Bay. But few of the real
citizens of this town have been carried
off by the excitement, most of those who
have taken passage at this place COM
ing from the country round about. We
leain that the excitement is great in the
smaller mining towns of the county and
good claims are selling at fourth part
of their value.

Like Home.

In strolling about the outskirts of the
town, one cannot but forget the depop-
ulating excitement that is raging for
Frazer River in the quiet little homes
that lie nesting among the trees. From
the burning sun and dry and dusty
streets, from the turmoil and cares of
the day, here, it seems, are havens of
rest. where the mind may seek repose
and the tired body renew its powers.
Nevada has many of these beautiful
spots, and but for the unsettled state of
her population in days agone, there
might have been many more fairy places
to remind us of home, to bind and fix our
attachments here. But times have
changed and so have our people. A
new spirit seems to pervade the country.
Men and ladies are awaking from their
indifference for the pleasant, the beau
tiful. the useful, which go to make up
the home-like, and strife is begotten
to see which shall have the best Or mic
est garden or fower-yard according to
each individual taste. Many thousand
dollars were expended for trees, shrub
berry and plants during the past spring,
and the fruits of the jndicious invest
ments are beginning to be seen every
where in young but promising gardens
and grounds. Not many years hence
Nevada will boast of a hundred cottages
enbssomed among the trees and clam
bored over with Towering vines.
Let any mind feycred with excitement
and haunted with visions of depopulation
and decay contemplate the quiet family
retreats which abound at the head OF
Broad street, or walk among the fruit
trees on the grounds of Sheriff Boring,
see their gigantic growth and product
tivenes, take peep at the green yard
about the residence of DR. Overton, OF
many other places we might mention,
and if mistake not, it will be soothed
and benefited. We can produce peaches
as delicious as ever grew Grapes grow
with scarcely care, and in short all
kinds of fruit appear to flourish here;
and as for roses the vale of Cashmere is
not more than an equal. Who is fool
enough to quit country fraught with
such advantages for the inhospitable
cline of Frazer River

Congress BeIIigerent.

The reported aggressions of the Brit
ish in the Gulf have caused grave and
reverend Senators to say if not feel
great many patriotic things. 1t is we'll
it is the only mode they will have to ex-
hibit their devotion to their country, and
why should they not make the mos of
it trihing as it is ? Had they not taken
time by the forelock and expressed
themselves early, the probab ility
is the opportunity would never again
so appropriately occur. Senators for
once struck while the iron was sup
posed to be hot. 1t was in the dark, it
is true, but they imagined they sa* y a
rcd spot to hit and patriotically went at
it. 1t is no disparagement to the patri-
otism of the body that British aggr ress-
ion turns out to be little true but nj ost-
ly humbug. Senators would doubtless
have shown some fire and spunk if an
important American city had been wan
tonly bombarded and destroyed and the
evidence of the fact had come up before
them clear and incontestable. We do
Congress the justice to believe it.
Had, however. Congress examined the
reports Of British insolence before in
dulging in turgid harangues it is proba-
bic a vast amount of nonsense would
have been saved to themselves and from
the people. 1t seems, with perhaps an
exception or two, that JOHN has been
gentlcmanly with Jonathan coming to-
gether in the Gulf 4 Johny Bull cap
tain IN one instance, probably, had in
dulged in glass too much of 'alf and
'alf on the birth day of one Of the little
Guelphs. In discharging his duties as
visiting committee to look sharp for
slavers, he didn't deport himself as a So
Der man would. This is about all the
cause of the rumpus that has been kick
ed up at Washington. Generally speak
ing it amounts to just about nothing. A
great deal of talk has grown out of the
affair, but it will doubtless end in talk.
The commercial interests of the two
countries are so involved together, that
war is almost impossible. Much as
each OF the countries might dislike to be
bullied and bluffed, either would willing
concede considerable to preserve peace.
Not many years since when the tripar
tite treaty was proposed to guarantee
and preserve Cubato the Spanish crown,
leading London Journal said that Great
Britain would sooner see dozen Cubas
at the bottom of the ocean than a war
with the United States. The same peace
tul sentiment prevails in the mother
country still Its influence is felt in
British councils, and no act of British
cruisers in contravention of treaties or
degrading to the American flag will go
unredressed. The amende honorable will
promptly be made and the insolent Off
Ger punished. We notice that among
the most noisy for extreme measures by
our government, are John Mitchell, an
Irish convict refugee and demagogue,
and James Gordon Bennett, an escaped
Scotchman who left his country for his
country's good and our sorrow. 1t ought
to take as many such to have any influ
ence on the government as feas to pave
a turnpike.
