edict went forth-a solemn conclave pronoun-
ced it; and the result was, one-half of that
immense revenue paid by the merchant prin-
ces was directed into the county Golfers. while
the mining counties were robbed of this little
remnant of revenue; and now the cities are
opposed to the former law.
e We have always been compelled to submit
to the legislation of the cities, but we think
we have some rights, and this paper will ever
humbly endeavor to advocate them. The mi
ming counties have paid and are still ready to
assist in paying for the tedious legislation upon
city bills-contracts given. to designing, un-
scrupulous, yet successful city politicians; for
legislation that has not been directed towards
them in any manner, except to divert, as fast
as possible, the wealth of the one into the
vaults of the other.
But we insist that the revenue law of 1854,
if properly administered, is better for the
State, than the new one and this is our rea-
son: The present revenue law gives half
of all licenses to the counties, the other half
to the State. In the other, all the sales of IL
censes for the first, second and third classes,
goes, unequivocally, into the State Treasury.
These reasons, with those given by the COM
mittee, induce US to advocate and insist on the
change.

uncouth as his exterior may bespeak him,

something more than good word, or the
unavailing tear" for his distressed
brother. As fast as his limited means
permit, the invalids are sent home
home! and must we come to this degra-
ding admission? Whilst the universal
clamor is for "more labor" " more pop
ulation" are we still to depend upon
the wisdom and humanity of other States
for the means of supporting our invalids? ?
We respectfully call the attention of
members from the mines to this matter,
and do assure them that the great mass
of their constituents desire immediate ac-
tion thereon. If the commercial and ag-
ricultural members object to the institu-
ton, at least, give us Miners Hospital.
1t can be erected and maintained by the
proceeds from Foreign Miners Licenses,
and if that be found inadequate or mex
pedient, by special Hospital tax"

ABOUT HORSES RUNNING A MILE IN
MINUTE.-Porter' Spirit ofthe Times
says to correspondent:
Bells life, the London Era, and other
established English turf authorities, have
all repudiated the vulgar tradition that
Flying Childers, Eclipse, or any other
horse, ever ran a mile in minute
The error grew out of measurement of
the strides of Childers and Eclipse in GER
tain races, when they were under a mo-
mentary burst of speed. 1t was then re-
marked, that could the rate of speed in-
dicated by those enormous bounds have
been kept up, the horse would have made
a mile in minute. Every one acquain-
ted with turf matters, knows, however,
that the utmost speed Of a horse can only
be maintained for ashort distance, and he
must be slackened and eased, or he will
be brought to stand still. The proba-
bility is, that the speed of .Childers and
Eclipse, whatever it was, has been beaten
by horses of the present day, the " Amer
ican Encyclopedia and g Youatt" to the
contrary, Notwithstanding.
The editor of Bell S Life in London, in
reply to letter from an American gen.
tleman, wrote as follows
'sThe editor of Bells life in London
begs to inform Mr. H., that the best au-
thentic time on record of mile in Eng
land, is 1:48. twas run by War Eagle and
Cossack, carrying ST., Z fb., GIG fb.)
each, for the Newmarket Stakes, over the
Ditch mile G. furlongs and 20l yards, J
in the spring of 1S47. The Ditch mile
with the exception of the first 100 yards,
which is up hill, is almost fat 1t is ab-
surd to suppose that Eclipse, Childers, or
any other horse ran mile in minute.
The time of the present day is undoubt-
edly the best. The average or general
time of mile races in England, is I:54,
but in heat races, the following may be
pronounced good time
One mile in......... LAT Three miles in.... 5:53
Two miles in.......3:55 Four miles in 7:5l
"P. S.-The editor begs to add that
he considers the time test a perfect fal-
lacurit IS no criterion or test Of a horse S
pouer or merits.
Porter's Spirit adds:
Against the fast time given above in
the letter of the editor of Bells Life, we
mark the best time of the horses of this
country:

Two miles in-.-.s:s4lz Four miles in--7;lsa

cow-counties should again exhibit far
seeing talent for loop-holes of mystifca-
tion and trouble.
But the main question of the week,
upon which more decided opinion has
been expressed than any other, is that re-
lating to the resolution of the Ditch Own
ers' Convention. Newspapers, editors,
correspondents and readers have had their
share in it, andall most unequivocally con-
denim it for one thing or another. But the
point IN which your correspondent more
especially condemns it, is in the follow
ing section second of a. Bill drawn UP by
the Ditch Owners Convention, with a
view to being run through Congress. At
ter speaking of obtaining right of way,
it proceeds:
" Sec. I'd. The United States guaran-
tee not to claim any riparian rights which
she may have by virtue of her ownership
of the lands, against any owners of bitches,
canals or fumes, for mining purposes in
California"
Which is just about as much as a per-
feet ownership by the ditch company, to
every square foot of ground, whether
there be quartz vein, or placer lead,
or any other kind of thing, on it or under
it, that this very modest and exceedingly
innocent convention chooses to run ca
nal and mining fume through. After
the passage of such an act by the Federal
Government, the whole Of the State of
California's mining districts would be stri-
ped out with mining bitches, and every
foot of ground, with all of its "riparian "
rights" most beautifully disposed OF,
with nobody to interfere with it forever,
in less than week. The ditch owners
resolution to which these remarks refer,
has been "laid ON the table," and the
usual number of copies ordered printed
The "Ranch Act being referred to
the Committee on Mining Interests re-
ported, recommending it to be indefinitely
postponed. am quite sure that not one
of the Committee ever saw the action of
the present act, or if so, he has not been
the miner. The mining interest ought
to be paramount to all others. Although
now considered in abeyance, the subject
will be shortly taken up again.
We hear no more at present of the
" Act to regulate the rates of freight, &C.,
ON steamboats, navigating the waters of
this State y What is your member
aboF.C? Is he marshalling his forces to
hetchena, or does the judiciary, at which
its author seems almost constantly occu-
pied, take up all his time? We know,
personally, that he is a hard worker, but
still the monopoly cries out in triumph,
over the grumblings of the people 1t
will receive the earliest attention.
Permit me to congratulate you on the
improved appearance of your newspaper;
but do not, | pray you, get into the habit,
as one or two Of the papers down here
have, of putting improper words in here
and there. There is one, | could point
out, which every week contains that vile
slang phrase, "you bet = others are finely
sprinkled with ''d-n," such words. as
'h-ll," &C., some half dozen times
all of which shows want of taste.
Yours, Box.

LETTER FROM CAMPO SEco.

CAMPO SEco, JAN. 10th, 1858
[ see your correspondents intend to
keep the people well posted upon the
topics of the day-mining in particular.
The miners in this vicinity, are, as a
general thing, doing very we'll Some
claims on French Hill, are paying as high
as s25 per day, to the man, and all are
making wages. South Hill is doing the
fair thing-paying from three to eight
dollars per day. An aqueduct is in
course of construction, to take the water
from Pebble Hill to South Hill, which,
when completed will furnish the miners
with plenty Of water and we may then
expect they will reap a rich harvest of
rusty gold.
Campo Seco, Winters Bar, Poverty
Bar, and vicinity, are infested with a set
of petty thieves. Robbing hen-roosts,
milking cows, stealing calf-skins, picks,
shovels, iron bars, &C., &C., is the order
OF the day. An attempt was made few
nights since, to rob the hen-roost of Mr..
O'Hare, in which the thief came off sec
ond best The wife of Mr.. O'Hare,
hearing some disturbance among her
fowls, went out, and as she was entering
the door of the coop, met man with a
fine chick in his hand. Mrs. O'Hare
collared the gentleman on the spot, and
called to her daughter to "fetch out the
pistol and light" and she would shoot
the scoundrel all his efforts to release
himself from the grasp of the lady, were
of no use, until, by some trick of leger-
demain, he slipped from his coat and
vamosed the ranch, minus his fowl
and part of his wearing apparel Fowls
of all denominations should "roost high"
during the stay in this camp, of GER
tain colored individual.
An aqueduct is about being built at
Jenny Lind, which surpasses any thing
of the kind ever contemplated. 1t will
be fve-eighths of mile in length, and
one hundred and FIVE feet high. 1t is to
be suspension-the cables resting upon
seven towers, the highest of which will
be 40 feet. The estimated cost is S20,-
900. The country through which the
water is to be taken, is considered very
rich, and will furnish employment for
hundreds of miners for years to COME
A fine specimen of pure gold was taken
out of a claim in the vicinity of Jenny
Lind, last week, weighing FIVE ounces.
Yours, SECo.

purer Anglo Saxon than half of the liter
ature Of the forum, pulpit and bar, of the
age. Now the word "thief" is pure
Anglo-Saxon, but our latter-day times
has improved on the word; formerly it
was " Swartwouted," now its " Estelled,"
"Rowed," Batesed," &c. We intend
to use slang words whenever they express
more than the common words of that old
fogy, Noah Webster. If you bet" says

Gin pigs eye" means more than " it is

GONE IN.@Tshhe idea Of taxing mining
claims, is very comfortably dead and bur-
led by the great Democracy-of our Legis-
lature. This is right, notwithstanding
Governor Weller's message to the contrary.
This idea was no doubt advanced to be
consistent with the great Los Angeles
speech, which was delivered "to split the
ears of those gr'oundlings," the big ranch
owners. We verify believe that Governor
Weller never intended that the United
Strtes Mineral Lands should be taxed
he is too smart for that. But then it
makes first rate Z: buncombe." The " Com
mittee on Mines and Mining Interests"
have very wisely reported adversely to tax
ing mining claims, and to Congress ced-
ing the mineral lands to this State, for
purposes of taxation. So mote it be.
