the folly of not having feet sufficient to
guard our coasts in time OF danger, for the
dream of fancicd security has been rather
rudely dispelled by the thunder of English
cannon in unpleasant proximity to their ears.
First among nations, our navy, instead of COM
handing that respect due to generous and
powerful people, only excites the contempt and
ieers of both friends and foes. With every
thing at our command that is requisite to
build one of the proudest fleets that ever swept
the seas, we have but few ships able to
stand single broadside. Our standing army
is sufficiently large, and if not, single month
will be sufficient to make it number hundreds
of thousands; but not so with the navy, and
would urge its increase as rapidly as possible,
for every thinking man will admit that if we
must fight, it should be upon the ocean by all
proud of my birth-land, and although opposed
to war in any shape, yet, if inevitable and not
to be avoided without dishonor, would have
her strike as freemen should, with the gallant
old heroes of '76 for an example. Peace to
all is our motto now, and if compelled to
change it to "victory or DEATH" be it So

FOURTH OF july" The Day we
Celebrate" was duly observed in this
Camp. The usual amount of peanuts,
powder, fire-crackers, and spinning jim
cracks were consumed to keep up the
time-honored customs of the Anniversary.
Early on Saturday evening the Russio-
Sclavonic Vulcan Battery fired National
salute of one anvil, to introduce the great
Fourth of Ju-liar, (just from Frazer,
into the realms of our own domestic gold
region; this brought the Teutonic reserve
to their feet, and rallied squads of Sax
ons, Goths and Vandals, who formed a
I" Tight Brigade" marching and counter
marching through the principal streets,
firing as they went, volley after volley,
from the Anvil Battery. We received,
from the Lieut.. General, the compliment
of Captains salute, fred just under the
office window, bursting in our front peep
ers,-a perfect pane-killer,-which was
close shooting for an anvil. A dozen
lights went out-or in-at the word.
The San Andreas Cornet Band, under
the direction of the tutor, Mons. Guirere,
played many national airs, during the
early part of the evening. This Band
promises to be one of superior excellence,
considering the short time since it was
organized and the limited practice, as
many members live some distance from
camp; it is a credit to the place and
merits the generous support of our citi-
Zens
The Fourth passed off very pleasantly,
not too hot, yet warm enough to give a
relish to the different "ice fxens," so nice
ly prepared at the different Saloons, and
which had decided downward tendency
more rapid than the receding waters on
the bars of Frazer river.

all political Issues before the people; and
for once i'm Calaveras, we wish to see a

there will be no name with which the

Whoever may be nominated need not fear
defeat; no aspirant for nomination fears

successful before the convention. Now

Letter from Victoria.

We have just received the following letter
from an old resident of this county, who has
long been employed in the butchering bus-
ness. 1t is authentic, and as the writer is well
known in this vicinity, will be read with in
terest:
VICTORIA, V. l., July lst, 1858.
Editor independents Il take pleasure in
writing you and all of my old acquaintance
of San Andreas, few lines. arrived here
about l o'clock to-day, ON the west side of the
Island, and had to foot it about three miles,
over very good road-dined on clam chow
der, beef and beans, which l pitched into like
good fellow. l came across several old ac-
quaintances who have just arrived from the
mines above Fort Hope and vicinity. They
all say there is plenty of gold, but it is impos-
sible to work, as the rivers are very high, and
all who go up do not take sufficient grub and
have to return. Tell all the boys they must
wait month or six weeks before they start
for this place. The Sierra Nevada had about
1000 or more passengers think, but the Off
GERS say but ,500 we had quite time of it.
This place is about as large as San Francisco
was in 40. Lots are renting for three and
four hundred dollars per month; just saw a
lot bid off at auction, for $275 per month, and
for only six months at that. There are a great
many darkies here-they are as good as
white man; there are twenty-five of them on
the police. No gambling is allowed here-not
even to toss penny for the " licker'
is very bad at two bits. l have got situa-
ton already at $50 per month, at butchering.
Give my respects to all my old friends and ac-
quaintances. Tell Lew not to start till the
10th of August. In the next I will give YOU
more particulars. Yours, respectfully,
VIM F. STEIN.

We are permitted to make the following
extracts from letter from Fort Hope, to Mr..
Faville, written by an old and well known res
ident of this camp:
Fort HOPE, June 30th, '5S.
FRIEND FAvILLE:-I have but little news to
give you of gold, as yet, only by hearsay, (that
is very good,) but there is no one making a
dollar on the river, that have heard Of The
river is too high yet by ten feet, to work this
low down. as for getting up, we can't at pres
ent, unless we go by the trail, and give fifty
cents per pound, freight; that you know is
rather heavy" l would not advise any of
my friends to come until you hear from me
again. If they should come, they had better
get what things they want in San Francisco,
and ship them to Victoria, from there up to
this place. You will want the same here as
there for mining, and grub. Quicksilver is
selling at from $4 to So per pound -four, $25
to $50 per hundred; bacon, IS cts; other
things range about the same. We got grub
at Bellingham Bay, and came in &c dug out"
up here-and hard time we had of it, you
can bet. If there is a chance here, you shall
hear from me, sure. Yours, &C..
