WORD TO YOUNG WRIrEEs.-Oliver Wen
dell Holmes, the Autocrat of the Breakfast Ia.
BILE, in one of his inimitabls productions in the
Atlantic Monthly, says:
If you have the consciousness of genius, do
something to show it. The world is pretty
quick nowadays to catch the flavor Of true
originality. Ifyou write anything remarkable,
rest assured the newspapers aud magazines will
find it out. That is ridiculous notion Of
yours that your articles are rejected because
you are unknown. Produce anything really
good, and any intelligent editor will not fail to
and space for it. Nothing pleases an editor
more than to receive composition of merit
from an unknown hand. There is always u
dearth of good articles for literary journals for
Of the hundred received, ninety, at least are
below the sea level. Some have water COCA
sionally only do they come from full reservoirs
high up on that hill which is so hard to climb

ARREsTs.-In the Assembly, while the Brod.
erick resolutions were pending, Aossrs. De
Long, Of Yuba. aud Lies, of Santa Barbara.
were placed under arrest BY the arbitrary or
der Of the Speaker. Mr.. De Long had appealed
from the decision Of the Speaker, who pretend
ed that be did not hear It, and ordered De Long
to bc arrested. From the explanations made
the next day it would seem that Speaker STRAIT
ton is occasionally disposed to be hard Of hear
ing-a rare qualification for Speaker Of such =
body 90 the present Assembly.

SAN Francisco HARBoR.-The s. F. Call has
seen table Of soundings of the .hsrbOr made
at different periods, from which it appears that
originally, the average depth of water ct the
ends Of the nine wbarves, was 43t feet. At the
present time it is only II feet. This shows an
average shoaliug Of the harbor along the city
front, during the last ten years, Of 32t feet II
something be not soon done for the protection
Of the hsrbor. another extension will become
an inevitable necessity; for if it continues to
Gil up for the next ten years at the rate IL has
been filing during the last six, dredging cannot
save Il.

The APPORTIoNNENr BILL.-The bill to d.
vide the State into two Congressional Districts
passed the Senate last Friday. The vote was
tie-fourteen ayes and fourteen nays-but
the Lieut. Governor gave the casting vote in
the affirmative, SO the bill passed. II the bill
is passed by the Assembly it will become law
as the Governor has already recommended the
measure. AS the question has not been made
partisan issue, and the measure is one desired
by the people, there is some reason to believe
the bill will pass the Assembly.

ATrEMPT AT BuRGIABY.-About 10 o'clock
on Monday night, three men came TO the toll
house, kept by Mr.. Stokes, on the Nevada and
Grass Valley road. They attempted to open
the door, which was locked. The family had
retired for the night, but Mr.. Stokes, hearing
the noise, got up and opened the door, and
found himself facing three men, one Of whom
was holding pistol to his breast. Mr.. Stokes
instantly stepped back and shut the door. Two
shots were fred as be was closing the door,
but luckily, did no damage. Both bullets en-
tered the door and passed out ofa window on
the opposite side Of the house, near where Mrs.
Stokes was sleeping. The burglars immediate
ly after the firing, run OF.

MINISa.-The mining business has been seri-
Ously interrupted by the heavy storms and cold
weather which has prevailed this winter. The
bitches in the upper portion Of the county we're
blocked up with snow, after the FIRST storms,
and have afforded but little water to the mi
ners The snow has been twice cleared out Of
the South Yuba Ditch. as far as Omega, and
we learn that the miners in that section now
have full supply of water, and have gone to
work in earnest. The warm rains of the past
few days have extended high up in the noun
tains, and the snow, which has heretofore in
terrupted the working Of the best placer mines
in The county, is rapidly melting of.

CHILD MuRDERED-The Marysvilie papers
contain the particulars Of one Of the most hOr-
rid murders which has ever been chronicled in
this State. A fend named David Hyland, BY
long course Of cruel treatment murdered his
wife's child, little boy about eighteen months
old. The child died on Sunday night, Of last
week. The body of the child, says the Demo
erat, was an appalling sight. It's face was
bruised and bloOdy-blOod was dried in its
ears-one ear badly tOrn-an arm gashed for
about an inch and-a-hslf in length-its limbs
swollen from apparent beatngs, and the entire
length and breadth Of its hips AID back, blue,
black and purple with bruises.
1t seems the child was born in two months
after Hyland married his wife, and he had de-
termned to murder it bee ause it was not his
The mother was disposed to treat the child hu-
namely, but was afraid of her husband. She
was arrested as an accOmplice, but was dis
charged. Hyland has been committed on the
charge of MURDER.

~. An,,-nrniericI. ResolutIons.

The resolutions introduced into the Senate
some time ago, by Mr.. Holden, designed to
censure Senator Broderick, have been adopted
by both branches of the Legislature. The pre-
amble 10 the resolutions state what is untrue
in fact, and we did suppose that the majority
would make some change in order to have it
conform somewhat nearer to the truth; but
like the man who accidentally asserted that
the horse was sixteen feet high, and then stuck
to It because he had said so, the Lecompton
legislators concluded to stick to what they had
at first asserted. In fact 1t was only by stat
ing positive falsehoOd that they had the least
foundation upon which to base the resolutions.
The resolutions will never injure Senator
Broderiek; the people will judge Of him by bis
acts, and not by what parcel Of unprincipled
politicians, and fawning sycophants, soy Of
him. Whether or not the resolutions will ever
be expunged from the journals, we shall not
pretend to say y; but political revolutions are
constantly occurring In this country, and It
would be strange If q combination of insignif-
cant Yankee politicians and weak-minded
Southeners, who are held together by the "Co-
hesive power Of public plunder," should last
forever. The Senate Of the United States, Q
body Of nearly as much influence 80 both
branches of the California Legislature, thought
they could degrade Gen. jackson by passing
resolutions censuring him /; but the resolutions
wholly failed of the object intended, and are
only referred to now to show the extent TO
which partisan malignity will carry even q
dignified body of men. While the maligners OF
jackson have sunk into meIited obsourity, bis
name will be honored, as that Of patriot and
q statesman, BY generations yet unborn. Thus
will it ever be with those who sacrifice truth
and right to crafty private malice and person
al hate.
The resolutions will attract no attention out
side Of the haunts Of time-serving politicians
Broderick, Of course, will take no notice OF
them, aud any object expected to be accom-
pli.hed by their passage will signally fail. The
Administration of James Buchanan 10 drawing
rapidly to close, and neither he, nor the min.
ions that now fawn around him, will have the
power to name his successor. The signs Of the
times point unerringly to Douglas as the next
Democratic nominee for President, and he ID
rot the man to look with much favor upon
those who have denounced him and his friends.
Let the obedient myrmidons Of Federal dicta-
acy, for their lease of power is short.

AFFRAY.-Wm. Barton and q man called
"Old Sandy" were playing cards last Sunday
evening, at the Lone Star Saloon, on CONNER
eial street. A dispute arose between them in
regard to the game, when Sandy gave Barton
the lie, aud the latter struck him. Sandy i'm
mediately drew bowie-knife and struck Bar
ton two or three times on the face and breast,
inficting severe bruises. Luckily, Sandy was
not able to draw the knife out Of the scabbard,
or the affray would undoubtedly have proved
fatal. The parties were arrested and brought
before Justice Smith, on Monday morning.
They each plead guilty to the charge Of assault
and battery, were fined $40 each, and went
their way rejoicing.

PURE DEMocRATs.-Nr. Wheeler, Of Yuba, in
his speech in the Senate last week, on the anti
Broderick resolutions, stated, that Of the twen-
ty.hve Lecompton Senators, on that floor, af

are the men who are eternally prating about
their Democracy, aud talk of reading men cut
Of the party who were never any thing but
Democrats.

SALE OF MINING CLAMs.-A bill has passed
the Senate, introduced BY Mr.. Burton, making
the transfer Of mining claims, by an ordinary
bill Of sale, legal, and confirming bona ode
sales which have heretofore been made. The
decision Of the Supreme Court, that the title to
mining claims cannot be transferred. except by
an instrument under seal, has rendered the pas
sage of an act Of this kind absolutely neceS-
sAry.

utation this firm already enjoys, and from their
connection abroad, we really think that mer-
chants and liquor dealers generally, can do
better with them than by going below for their

AMPUTATED.-Mr. Brett, on account OF whose
sufsrings and neglect at the Insane Asylum
we gave last week, has been compelled TO have
both Of his legs amputed. The parts affected
we're taken off about midway between the an
kle and the knee. Mr.. Brett was brought to
the Asylum q rAving maniac, his feet at the
time being severely chilled or frozen. His rea-
son was restored in few days, but it seems
that no attention was paid to the condition of
bis feet, until his brother arrived from Marys-
vile and had him taken out Of the Asylum.
He had then been neglected so long that ampu-
taton was deemed necessary to save bis life.
The Stockton Argm. after giving the particu-
lars of the operation, says:
1t is On opinion generally expressed by phys
icians who have consulted in the case Of Mr..
Brett that the injury to his feet was caused by
a continuous chill, which being neglected, has
led 10 the great misfortune which has befallen
him. Mr.. Brett was originally from Maine, but
has wife and eight children at present living
in Massachusetts,. He worked at bis trade in
Marysville in 1850, and resided in that vicinity
for several years, but latterly has worked at
Springfield, Tuolumne county. His friends en-
tertain hopes of his recovery, and although ren-
dered helpless by hls misfortune. he has the as
surance Of every protection from necessity of
whatever nature.
