LATER FROM CARSON VALLEY-We
find the following intelligence from Carson
Valley in the Genoa correspondence OF
the Placerville Register, under date Of
July 21st:
Lashbaugh arrived here to-day from
Walker river. He reports that there are
twenty miners at work there, making from
three to eight dollars per day. Yesterday
party of miners arrived here from So
nora. They crossed the mountains oppo-
site Sonora, and have prospected the
country east of the mountains to this place.
They went down to Gold Cnnon to pros
pect quartz lode there. | am not in
formed as to their success.
Rose, of NASSAU Valley, is digging a
ditch from Carson Valley to Gold Canon,
which will be four miles long, and he ex-
poets to finish it in two months.
The long expected train of apostates
from Mormonism is now coming up Carson
river, and will arrive here on Saturday
There is some difficulty anticipated here
between the two parties who favor and
oppose the late Vigilance Committee,
concerning the payment of Olds' fine.
The fine, for which Van Sickles was Olds'
surety, was not paid at the appointed
time; and, although Van Sickles has since
rendered the money, the Executive Com
mittee refused to accept it without an ad-
ditional $3.50, which they claim for expen-
ses incurred. The Committee have seized
thirty-nine head of Olds' cattle, which
were in Van Sickles possession as security
for the fine money, and have advertised
them for sale July 24th. Van Sickles has
requested the -Vigilants to assist him
in gaining possession of the cattle to-
morrow. So it is likely the strongest
party will take them.

Mining Intelligence.

The old "Syd Crews claim on Missouri
Gulch, still continues to pay as well as
ever. There are four hands in it, and
they average from So to S12 per day to
the hand, and have done so straight along
for the past four years. Ashley. Proper
& Co.'s claim directly opposite to it is
also paying handsomely. Messrs. Silver &
Lapham's, and Chick 4 Berry's, are the
only claims being worked on Murphy s
Flat, pending the construction of the
Blume. The former struck the old lead
yesterday morning, and after two hours
washing the water failed, and on cleaning
up they found beautiful chispa of pure
gold weighing ten ounces, and four ounces
in fine gold. Messrs. Chick & Berry have
been averaging So per day to the hand
during the past week
In Owlsborough, Messrs. Gwin, Foster
l. Co. have been making an average of
S. per day to the hand Messrs. Coyle
q Shields $4 per day to the hand, and
McNeeve Il Co. the same.
Mr.. r. Palache and partner commenced
yesterday washing over the tailings of the
Suspension Flume Co. on Central Hill.
They made 1925 each, after paying all
expenses, for one days work. Some idea
of the richness of the claim itself may be
derived from the manner in which the
tailings pay. Messrs. Benson, Earl &
Co. may be said to be still opening theil
claim. They are, however, making reg
ular thing Of fair wages, and have ius,
found streak of dirt much resembling
the old lead, which made their claim SC
famous under the name of the Gault Claim
In the olden time. A few days now will
tell the story.
The above are but tithe of the claims
which are now in successful operation in
and about Murphys, but we find it next
to an lmpossibility to obtain anything like
. full account of mining operations in this
camp.
ANGEL s.-We arc informed by Mr..
Brotherton, operator of the Big Tee and
Angels Telegraph, at Angels, that min
ing there is rather dull, owing to the scar
city of water. Mr.. Maultman has Just
finished new quartz mill, near the Crys-
tai Mill, which it is said to resemble
DOUGLASS FLAT-We are informed
BY Mr.. Peter NJ Govern, the Union Water
Co.'S agent at Douglass Flat, that before
the water fell off, the Company was sell
ing from ten to twelve streams in that
camp, and that every claim using it was
making fair wages.
VALLEcITo-Is dull just now. The
miners are all waiting for the completion
of the Calaveras County's ditch and the
introduction of water. There is large
extent of rich mining ground in and
around Vallecito, and when the water
comes in we expect to hear of rich strikes
and lively time generally in that vicinity.
THE FLUME.-The force at work on
the fume has received several reinforce
ments during the past week, and the cut
is now progressing finely. The boys are
not without good incentives to work.
Every now and then, after the discharge
of huge blast, uplifting and scattering
tons of rock, in some little nook or crew
ice laid bare by the rude stroke, will be
perceived a little piece of the shining
metal, greeting them with sunny, cheer

CHRISTIANS RIsING.-Among the
late news from Europe, we see it stated
that there are alarming reports current
In Paris about a general rising of the
Christian population in the Turkish Do
minions, not only on the frontier of Al
bania, but in Servia, Bosnia, Thessaly,
Macedonia, and indeed throughout most
of European Turkey. Whether Russia
is at the bottom of their movement, or
whether it be the spontaneous impulse OF
long compressed impatience of Ottoman
rule, time alone will tell; but the Greek
soldiers are deserting, en- masse, over the
frontier, to form guerrilla troops within
the Turkish territory, and this summer
will be remarkable by an outbreak OF un-
precedented importance, of which the
Montenegro victory gives the signal.

A HISTORIAN OPINION pol
iticians of our time are in the habit of
laying it down as self-evident PROPOSE
tion, that no people ought to be free till
they are fit to use their freedom. The
maxim is worthy of the fool in the old
story, who resolved not to 60 into the
water till he had learned to swim! If
men are to wait for liberty till they be-
come wise and good in slavery, they may
wait for ever-Macaulay.

of the evils produced

all of solid iron, firmly bound together in one

wind during strong gale, by having double
tails or dog-vanes attached so that they will
spread before the wind in moderate breeze,
but contract in stiff gale, throwing the wheel
clear off the wind while, as the gale subsidies,
weights (which are attached for the purpose, J
gently bring the fans of the wheel around into
the eye of the wind, when the wheel will re-

There is no malady of deeper Importance.
either in medical or moral point of view to
which the human family is more liable, than
that arising from impure connections.
AS medical man, it is the duty of every
physician to look at disease as iteffects health
and life, and his sole object should be TO miti-
gate, as far as lies in his power, the bodily
suffering. Human nature at best is bnt frail.
all are liable to misfortune
Of all the ills that affect man, none are moro
terrible than those of a private nature. Dread
full as it is in the person who contracts it.
frightful as are its ravages upon his constitu-
ton, ending frequently in destruction and a
loathsome grave, it becomes of still greater i'm
portance when it is transmitted to innocent
offspring. Such being the case, how necessary
1t becomes that every one having the least
reason to fear that they have contracted the
disease, should attend to it at once, by consult
ing some physician, whose respectability and
education enables him to warrant safe speedy
and permanent cure. In accordance with this
necessity, DIR. YOUNG feels called upon to
state that by long study and extensive prac-
tice, he has become perfect master of all those
diseases which come under the denomination
OF venereal, and having paid more attention to
that branch than any other physician in the
United States, he feels himself better qualified
to treat them.
Syphilis in all its forms, such as Swelling of
the Groins, Ulcers, Ulcers in the Throat, Sec
ondary Syphilis, Cutaneous, Eraptions, Ulcera-
tions, Tertiary Syphilis in Children, Mercurial
Syphilitic Affections, Gonorrhea, elect, Stric-
lures, False Passages, Inflammation of the
Bladder and PROSTATE Glands Excoriations,
Tumors, Pustules, etc, are as familiar to him
as the most common things of daily observa-
ton
The Doctor effects cure in receiving cases
in few days, and finds no difficulty in curing
those of long duration, without submitting the
patient to such treatment as will draw upon
him the slightest suspicion, or oblige him to
neglect his business, whether within doors or
without. The diet need not be changed, ex-
cept in cases of severe inflammation. There
are in California, patients, (amounting to over
two thousand in the past year, that could fur
