perish by the hands of savages; while the
more determined, sullen and secretive, are not
exempt from hardship and suffering. But 1t

fNDEPENDENT.-The London Time,
Is the most Independent newspaper in the
world; the railing of a cotemporary press
soaded on by jealousy and envy, it never
stoops to notice. The Times never lifts
up into notoriety the sinking organ of a
political faction which is gradually drop
ping into obscurity, by advertising its
declining influence, it be ga Tray,
Blanche or Sweetheart of high or low de-
gree" It's widely extended circulation
and great power was never gained by
wrangling with those who failed to advo-
cate popular views as endorsed BY the peo-
pie; while the wisdom of the "great thun-
derer' has been very properly adopted by
the better class of newspapers in Cali
fornia, it is evident that some of the wan
ing lights of central power are aiming to
1val the Oregon papers in using choice
words selected from the vocabulary of
blackguardism. Let those; who will, az
eept this mode of editing a newspaper we
will have none of it. Those who choose.
may accuse, it is generally selGshness that
prompts the incentive.

MASONIC CEbEBRATIoN.-We have received a
circular calling reunion of all Masons east,
west, north and south, to meet at Columbia,
Tuolumne county, California, as one Pdtri-
archat Family, on the oath of June-on st.
Johns Day,-the anniversary of the birth of
John the Baptist, one of the patron saints of
Masonry, whose virtues all should initiate and
whose precepts all should learn and practice.
ST. John the Baptist and ST. John the Evan
gelst, two eminent Christian Masons, have,
since their deaths been held in the highest
veneration by the Order, and the anniversaries
of their births are celebrated each year
throughout the entire extent of the Christian
world. Masons protesting Christianity dedi-
cate their Lodges to the two SITS. John, and
teach each initiated brother to look to these
Christian patrons of the Order as examples of
every virtue that should inspire the soul of
every Mason, and actuate him in leading life
similar to theirs-the reward of which is an en-
trance to the Grand Lodge above, whose Su-
preme Grand Master is God-whose throne is
far beyond the cloudy canopy of starry decked
Heaven.
On the same day a new Masonic Hall will
be dedicated at Woods Ferry, San Joaquin
county. In the evening a Grand Ball will
take place at the residence of Mr. Wood, where
they who delight in the gay mazes of the
dance can Join the lads and lasses of the gar
den world, in the poetry of motion, until the
joyous hours lose their power to charm.

NAPK CITY HERALD.-This is the
name of new Administration paper
published at Napa City. No. 2, now be-
fore us, is filled with the feeblest efforts
to back up the Administration of Mr..
Buchanan; among which are the speech
of Senator Polk. of Mo-, and leader,
the weakest and most pusillanimous arti-
Gle on the subject we have yet read. If
future numbers of the Herald are to be
shaped into resemblance to this one.
we expect to hear Of the downfall of that
institution. 1t is also guilty of inconsi;st-
ency, by saying, it advocates the Demo
cratic party, as enunciated in the Cincin-
natl Platform and observed by the Ma
tional Democracy. 1t will advocate the
great doctrine of Popular Sovereignty
and State Rights, and violently oppose
fanaticism and bigotry in whatever shape
or form it presents itself"
The Administration Lecomptonites are
opposed to those very principles; hence

BRICK.-Oyer five hundred thousand
brick might be disposed of, in this Camp,
within the year; if properly manufacture
ed and burnt, good brick would readily
command ten dollars per thousand. Lime
and sand are plenty in this vicinity, and
it is the intention of many to build brick
stores as soon as the necessary article can
be obtained Competent brick-makers
and burners, throughout the country,
would find it advantageous to give this
subject their attention. Let US have the
brick, good article and plenty of them.

"MA8IRosA STAR" We have re-
ceived the first number of a paper with
the above title, printed in the town of
Mariposa. 1t is a neat, well-printed pa
per, and supports the Lecompton or Ad-
ministration wing of the Democracy. It's
principal object appears to be opposition
to the Fremont Grant, and an advocacy
of the interests of the settlers and miners
of Mariposa.- We wish the proprietors
all success, and believe paper so ably
edited will, so far, be supported.

THE DAILY CALIFoRNIAN.-Thi is the title of
a daily Democratic paper published in Sacra-
mento, by an association of printers. In its
preliminary announcement of its its intended
course, it says:
Believing that there is partisan paper published
in this city which advocates pure and undefed Demo-
cratic princplesno paper which does not change It's
views and policy upon the arrival OF each steamer no
paper which does not advocate the principles oil the
Kansas Nebraska Act when the Administration avows
those principles repudiates them when the President
opposes them-we have determined to publish paper
which think will express the views of those who be-
eve in the Bencia resolutions of 1885, in the Kansas
Nebraska Act, and in the Cincinnati Platform"
1t is edited, it is understood, by D. j. Thom-
as, j. n. Bingay and James Coggins.

SUNDAY Law Although the fire would
seem, on last Sunday, to make our camp an
exception to the ruling of this law, yet not a
store remained open, unless it was to give
shelter from the heat. A little trading, in the
morning, was done, in the way of furnishing
subsistence supplies after ten o'clock all per-
sistenty refused in selling goods or even pro-
visions. We hope to see the law honored and
on its constitutionality, which will be done in
short time, as several prosecutions have been
entered, which will be carried up to the Su-
