Kern River.

The immense popularity which has been
created for Frazer river by few letter wri-
ters, has at length aroused its rival upon our
southern border from its Rip Van Winkle
sleep, and Kern river is once more trying to
shine! Witness the following =
GREAT EXCITEMENT ON KERN RIvER.-Ja-
cobs, of this city, says the Stockton Demo-
crat of late date, has received letter from
his brother, dated Visalia. Tulare Valley
which says the mail rider had passed through
that place, from Kern river, with the news
that a miner on the river had found q vein
from which, by the aid Of an arastrwF#aauas
crushed in one week ten thousand dollars
Great excitement prevails there.
GREAT EXCITEMENT IN ANOTHER QUARTER.
The Mariposa Gazette learns from Fl. D. Be-
quite, of Hestors Express, through letter
from David B. James, a we'll known citizen
of Tulare Co., that on the 29th Of May, an
influential and respectable Mexican came to
the house of said James, and stated that he
wanted to make up company TO go with
him to Ovens Lake, about one hundred and
fifty miles from Visalia, where he had work
ed in company with two Frenchmen for three
days, on the south fork of river that feeds
Ovens Lake, and found thirty. three ounces
Of coarse gold, when the Indians attacked
them and killed one Of the Frenchman, and
that the other and himself returned. TIE
diggings are about five days travel from
Kern river, about twenty miles up the south
branch that feeds the lake. The country is
quite barren around the lake. but plenty Of
timber aud good water in the mountains A
company has been made up, and the men are
leaving diggings which pay them IS to $40
per day. The diggings are all surface, with
slate bed rock. Great excitement prevails
through that part of the country-g greater
than exists in this region in reference to the
Frazer River diggings, and many are pre-
pairing to leave for the new mines"
Such is the latest and most reliable intel
ligence from Kern river. Ho, for Kern Riy

EDITOR BULLETIN Your correspondent

place, together with the machinery, &C., and
states that there are employed in the mines.
ana ABOUT the mill, sixty hands; that 5000
IONS OF rock have been raised, which have
yielded an average $500 per ton and that
the gross yield has been about ''One a halt

visited the mine, and to have obtained his
information from those who knew. 1t is not
my purpose to dispute his figures, although
million and a half of dollars is large sum

years, and 5000 tons of ore is large guam

months with capacity of only twenty tons

aim to put through"
The mill was first set in operation in July
1856. Then, and for sometime afterwards.

out of eight stamps. Since then, there has
been some delay for repairs and to put in

quantity of ore raised, and the product of

question is, how much of that belongs to the
profit side of the account?t They employ

Tho Great New Yolk Reservoir and
New Central Park.

The New Workers are determined to out
shine the world in their New Central Park
with its magnificent artificial lake and other
adornments. The estimated cost Of prepar-
ing the Park is set down at 81, 10000 It
will no doubt actually cost nearer double
that amount. The Park covers some 14O
squares of the city, embracing within its linn
its one Of the present city reservoirs. Some
idea Of the size Of the new reservoir, or lake,
as it is sometimes called, may be formed
from the following extract from the break
ing ground speech of the Mayor, Oh that &C
casion. He said =
"On our new lake Of the Manhattan. no
inconsiderabe Eavy might ride, and find
ample room and verge enough on its sur
face to float at anchor. Even the noble Nj
ussursI, the admirable

Of the lake, while every other vessel of the

The average cost OF American railroads is

900. NotN ithstandins the great disparity
of cost in favor o. American over Europcan
roads. it is q notorious fact that the Amcri-
can system as a paying investment has pr y
cd decided failure, while both the English
and French roads, as whole, have both beer
eminently successful The balance sheet cx
hibited by the European reads shows, most
conclusiveIy, that there is something rotten
in the American system, and that there is an
urgent necessity for its entire reconstruction.
The failure Of the American system may, no
doubt, be mainly attributed to the loose, un-
thrifty and fraudulent manner in which
many lines have been projected, and still
greater number mismanaged. OF The l.
100000 which the American railroads
have cost, not more than one-half has been
paid in, while the balance is represented by
subscribed stock. The aggregate dividend
for the past year does not exceed per cent
and on 150,000000 Of railroad bonds, moi
even the interest has been paid This ex
hibition is certainly anything but fatterine
to our national pride, but yetit is truth anG

remedy may be devised by which this grea
and growing interest may be may be made

New Qunrrz Machinery.

The editor Of the Mariposa Star has seen
the model of new quartz cFusher, the in
vention of Mr.. j. Diltz, which the inventor
thinks is decided improvement on any
thing now in use. Eeach stamp falls in a
cylindrically shaped battery-each of which
is self-feeding and independent of the other.
In these the quicksilver is placed, as also in
the shallow bed forming the base of the bat
teries, and into which they discharge. Each
is provided With copper lining, fitting nice
ly, and SO arranged that it can Abe removed
and replaced at pleasure. The model exhib-
tied was arranged for five stAhAgs, and has
been sent below as patter&for 'cSsting.-
When completed it will be placed in the mill

THE MEANEsr MAN, in the nation, just at
this time, is a decendant of the man, of all
others, whose name is most revered by the
American people. Of course we can allude
to none other than the late proprietor OF
Mount Vernon. At the highest possible es-
innate the actual value Of the property does
not exceed $4,000, yet that hoary headed
old shylock, to whom it had fallen, after at
first asking 100000, finally advanced his
demand, as he found the sympathy of the
nation awakened, to the sum Of 100000.

haggled about the interest on the deferred
payments and all that to, after he had
mace fortune by cutting down the trees
and shrubbery about the honored tomb, and
making the same up into canes, which he
sold, as relics, at an exhorbtant price -
His name-for the sake of him who gave it
honor we won't write in this connection
bis memory, we will say, should be more in
famous in the American heart than that Of
the traitor Arnold ;. for Arnold, notWith
standing his terrible sin, did really have
something noble and cbivalric about him

lives only to disgrace the name he beaSs, is
