Walker River Diggings.

A correspondent of the Placerville Inder.
having returned from these diggings in COM
nany with three other experienced miners,
Dives that journal very unfavorable account
Of them. He says:
They are located about twenty-five miles
south Of Walker river, in sandy, barren
country. There is no timber suitable, for
anv purpose within six or seven miles. The
cold (what little there is) is found in a strata
Of sand and gran ite bouders, from six to
twelve inches i'll thickness-about a CARLOAD
of rocks tor one pan full of dirt-and is
found from one to six feet below the surface
Below this stratum there is bed of loose
granite rock, but no solid bed rock such as
we find this side ofthe mountains. There is so
much rock in the stratum which contains
the gold, that one man, with rocker can
wash the dirt as fast as four men can dig
it out The dirt, after it is taken out, will
not prospect more than two or three cents
to the pan. The greatest amount of gold
taken out in any one day was three dollars,
which was taken by four men with sluices;
and was crediby informed by those living
there, that there had not been two ounces Of
gold taken out of the new diggings, all told.
/ left some forty or fifty men in the diggings.
They all intended leaving soon. Saw the
: man who struck the diggings there He said
he had not made anything that would pay,
and that he intended to sink one more
hole, and if he did not find something better
he intended to leave.
TIE NORTHERN CoUNTIEs.-A gentleman
who has recently visited several counties
north Of this city, inform us that, from the
best information and estimates he could OBJ
tain, the Douglas Democrats in those coun-
ties are about five to one Of the Buchanan
school. 1t is very rare circumstance to
meet Buchanan Democrat away from cities
and Federal offices. Sac. Union.
The gentleman referred to certainly did
not travel as far North as the County of
Shasta. We have made some inquiry and
SO far have heard Of six Doug as Democrats
no more We had though of saying as
much before we encountered the foregoing
paragraph, but had concluded that it would
he somewhat cruel to expose the weakness
in our neighborhood, Of the small squad Of the
Democracy who are now so easily franterzing
with Republicans under the leadership of
"Our Senator" When the sentiment Of
Northern Counties is spoken of We feel it our
duty to put Shasta ri ght upon the record.

WELL SA1D.-The Sacramento Statesman
says: We have no objection to Mr.. Broderick,
or any other gentlemen, uniting his fortunes
with the Republicans but we do object to him
using the name Of Democracy as an instru.
ment for the overthrow Of the principles Of
the party and of the constitution. In bis
