"UNDERMINrNG THE CHURcH."-The
senior ofthe Gazette indignant at our expose
OF disgraceful row, in which a brother
Republican and brother Churchman play
ed conspicuous part, takes occasion to ac-
cuse US of "infdelity," and of attempting
ito cast obloquy upon the Church" OF the
first charge We have nothing to say, as it is
the general imputation cast by the writer
upon those who do not belong to his Church,
and whose notions of religion it would seem,
allow him to meaoure the spiritual condition
of others by his own. On the other charge
We would ask the writer, whose extreme
old age alone challenges our respect, who
it is that "casts obldquy upon the Church =
The member thereof, who want only engages
in street brawl. or the journalist who re-
Dukes him? We know that our remarks
were the cause Of much squirming among
such men as our cotemporary; but We feel
assured that all good and honest men. all
thorough christians. will find nothing what
ever Objectionable in its style. We have
been told by n embers of the same church
that our structures were perfectly right, and
that such conduct as their erring brother
was guilty of should meet with a severe
reprimand He, himself, will not have the
hardihood to deny it
We trust the Church will Flourish" and
continue TO gain strength upon strength
but it cannot be done by countenanc;ng
members in street fights. which would in
other persons be punished by fine at the Po.
lice Court. The Church should be built up,
but no such pillars as the one referred 10
will ever sustain its noble superstructure.
Such pillars weaken instead of strengthen
ing the Temples of the Most High. The
cause of religion has been advanced
in early days by the shedding Of blood
aye, the very cement of the Church is the
blood of the saints spilled in the holy cause
of propagating the great truths of the gos-
pei according to the new dispenaation; bui
we deny that the blood Of deacous, spilled
in street fights, has aught to do with the
advancement Of religion. but that 1t is, in
deed, an abomination In the sight of Hin
who shed his blood for all, that all nigh,
live. Such acts % these 'sundsrminss and
"sa.t obloquy upon the Church, such sstl
% these require the hearty and unsouivo-

IMPROVEMENT. - Mr.. Thorrington
has commenced the improvement of Fourth
street, near his residence, at his own ex-
pense. Finding that the city would do
nothing towards cutting ditch to drain off
standing water in that vicinity, he has had
one dug at his own expense, for which the
Council should, at least, render him vote
of thanks.

which the idea that another Republican
journal is to be started, inficts, the Gazette
spouts forth its venom upon US, as though
We were in great glee about it, No SO, but
to the contrary. quite, We rather pity and

rise to the necessity Of another paper which

imbecility and utter incapac.ty TO conduct

LETTER FROM CHILL FLAT.
Chill Flat, December %. lS5

CHILL FLAT, December 30, 1857.
Mr. Editor After a protracted 81
lence, again WELD the pen, in fear o
other camps gaining ground upon us, by
their different modes of speaking through
the columns of the independent Chill
Flat has never presented so favorable an
appearance in the way of mining, as ii
does the present season. Many claims
are now being worked-which to all APP
pearances were a short time since entirely
abandoned-and are found to be good for
from three to five dollars per day, which
most of your readers are aware is con-
fined mostly to surface diggings, ranging
from five to forty feet in depth; and by
the general use of the various improve
ments now being brought into active ope-
ration in washing down the hill-sides,
gives us that advantage overt the old plans
of working such claims, as to enable us
to prosecute our labor with success; yet
we are inclined to believe that improve
ments will be made in the modes of work
ing mining claims that will enable us to
perform ten times more labor in the same
time than we do now Where are our
men of science? Why not awake from
their slumbers, come among us, and give
us an idea at least?
We are blessed with plenty of water
here, and are favored much in the way of
prospecting, by the free use of the same !;
as we are satisfied to offset our labor
against water, in searching for what we
call moderate wages.
Our friend h" Fair Play" of Campo
Seco, will have to produce better evidence,
to have us believe that our water Compa-
nies make such distinction in the price
of water, as it is being sold, so far as
our knowledge extends in the way of the
Celestial use of it; though we still feel
with our friend-Fair Play-and should
his knowledge yet prove correct, we still
say he is right in his exposition, as it is
necessary to keep them in due bounds at
least, hoping that at some future day our
water companies may feel themselves full
ly justified in reducing the price of water
Our advice to the Americans of Campo
Seco who are buying water, is to come
up here. as we only pay fifty cents per
inch, and think it enough at that, where
Gas we learn from Fair Play you are
paying double that sum; which, in the
course of years time, will amount to
quite nice difference in using ten inches
per day. Yours, CT.

PIrcH IN?-Mr. James O'Sullivan, editor of
the Sonora Herald, gives a trial of metal
and a tilt of his lance in the general squiba-
torial tournament, at u.s. He says "the cat is
out of the bag!' Not so, Mr.. O'S., but mout
be we'll let it out. 'S'cat,n and out comes
calamitous disclosures of your trip while at
Carsou's-goin' '-a-courting the horse
nonsequented and it rained, and you pursued
the ex-stabulated through the mud as he vam-
osed the ranch and wet,-and the boys waged
threats and slumgullion dams against all fill
buster lovers from ''over the border" Being
entirely too modest to compete with the Bel
viderian Adonis of Sonora, we will be an ally
and adjunct of the gallant Border Ruffian
and soon call over to 'return the compliment,
provided he promises not to "tin-kettle' oul
horse to get even.
