The County.

By reference to the Assessors Report to
the Surveyor General of the State it will be
seen that there is considerable portion Of
Yuha county in the region of the foot hills
which pays scarcely any taxes. 1t contributes
therefore a very small amount towards the
support of the county government. The AS
sessor declares that by far the larger portion
of the county consists of mineral lands. This
does not exactly agree with the statistics set
forth in the State Register, although it may
all be very true. The State Register for 1859
/ gives the amount of cultivable land at two
hundred and eighty thousand acres, while
the mineral land is estimated at only one
hundred and seventy four thousand nine hun
dred and sixty acres 1t is very difficult,
! however, to calculate the extent of mineral
land in any one county, because new dig
gings are being continually discovered and
what might be excluded in one report would
be embraced in another. BE this as it may,
the extent of mineral land in this county is
great The agricultural portion Of the coun-
.
the number ofincorporated mining companies
(whica pay taxes) being but few. This has
long been a subject Of complaint to the citi-
zens in the valley and the city, who think
that the miners ought to pay larger pro-
portion of taxes. There is no method of COM
passing this object but taring mining claims,
and the legislature so far has resisted all eff
forts at any amendment of the Revenue Laws
of the State having such object in view. The
agricultural regions will undoubtedly grow
more and more clamorous every year for
serious obstacles in the way, one of which is
the undetermined question as to the right of
the State to tax mining claims at all, since
the right to minerals belongs to the General
J Government under whose general unwritten
license miners dig the gold Another obsta-
Gle is the preponderance of the mining pOpu-
lation at the polls their objection to being
taxed, and the power which they hold of de-
capitating the political aspirants who vote
against them; to say nothing of their ability
at all times to elect majority of the legisla-
ture pledged to their interests.
But, there is another way of reaching this
matter, which the citizens of the valley have
thought of, and that is, lessening the expenses
of government By consolidation, and including
within the limits ofthe consolidated govern
ment only such portions of the county rs
contribute TO the general support This
would throw out the non,tax paying, unin-
corporated portion of the mineral region,
which could be added to some new county
have no more trxes to pay than now, and be
nearer the county seat
We hardly know, as yet, whether this move
would be advisable, but it is at at any rate
strongly thought of, and is worthy of con-
sideration.

CRIME AGAINST NATURE.-Robert Corall
was tried, yesterday, in the Court of Sessions
on q charge of having committed this awfu
offense.
Coran is man of about 3S years of age
a shoemaker, and possessing a countenancC
not at all bad
One witness swore positively to the COM
mission of the act, while rebutting as well as
impeaching testimony was brought by the
defense
The District Attorney conducted the pros
ecution, and 2. Montgomery, Esq, the de.
tense.
We did not hear enough of the evidence
to make up our mind as TO the absolute guilt
of the prisoner, but we were satisfied of one
thing thoroughly and that is, if the act was
committed at all, it was done in fit of COM
plete drunkenness. What the possibilities
are in state of deep inebriety we leave the
learned pundits of medical and physiologi-
cal science to determine
We learn that the Jury last night disa-
greed and were discharged.

BURNED TO DEATn-We learn from the
Trinity journal, that about nine o'clock on
Thursday night last the dwelling house of P.
T. Tuthill, at Shepard & Goss' saw mill, one.
half mile below Weaverville, was discovered
on fire, and consumed before assistance could
be had. The house was occupied by Omar
Morton and family. MIR. Morton had left the
house for a short time leaving Mrs. Morton
and little daughter of Daniel Osgood, four
years old, alone. The first persons who ar
rived at the house found the little girl some
distance Oway, and across the gulch near by.
Search was made for Mrs. Morton, but her
charred remains were only discovered after
the building was entirely consumed.
How the fire commenced, or how the little
girl escaped is all a mystery. She says she
ran out of the burning building, and knows
nothing of Mrs. Morton. Her feet and clothes
were slightly burned, and her face covered
with SCOT or some other substance showing
that she must have had a narrow escape.
Mrs. Morton had resided in Trinity county
four years, and came there from Humboldt
county.

WEDNESDAY MORNING, NOV. aoth.

MADAME BIscACoIANTL-This rare song
stress will visit our city in a few day. She
has been playing already to large house in
San Francisco and Sacramento, having pre-
yiously visited all the principal cities of tn,
world. We believe, also, she is the first
singer who ever visited California, having
landed on our shores in the earlier and more
golden days. Those who have ever heard
her before will welcome her temperance,
and those who have not are prepared, no
doubt, to hear something exquisit and divine.
They will rot be disappointed.
Madame Biscaecianti sings with peculiar
depth of feeling, pouring her whole heart in
her song. Her audiences are often melted
to tears. She is also blessed with a great ex
uberance of spirits and the notes of Joy gush
from her throat like the untaught melody of
the native warbler of the woods. We are
happy to announce so rich treat in store for
the Marysville public

The Telegram of Monday SAYS:

At the second alarm of fire last night, at
one o'clock, for the Fourth District, a dis
graceful scene of wrangling and fighting en-
sued, in which two or three parties were
badly beaten. Neither of those who active.
ly participated in the transaction were uni
formed in hremen's equipments. Several per.
sons were knocked down, kicked and bruis-
ed, and at one time it was feared that q gen
eral tight would ensue. The firemen who
were present succeeded at last in putting a
stop to the difficulty. The police afterward:
arrived on the ground. and made a number
of arrests

The Doylestown (Pa) Democrat concludes
an able article, advocating the nomination OF
Judge Douglas as the next Democratic Pres

We are for Mr. Douglas for the Presidency

nothing of the many other reasons to be
urged In his behalf His sterling political
integrity, his indomitable courage, and un-
taltering consistency commend him to the

Mrs. D. b. BATES is about publishing (
volume Of which the title is -Four Years OF
the Pacific Coast, in which she gives her ex
perience Of life in the South Seas, in Peru, OF
the Isthmus and in California. Mrs. Bate.
sailed for California in 1850, in the ship No
nantum which was then in the command oi
her husband, The ship took fire off Cape
Horn and was subsequently run on shore at
the Falkland Islands, where she became a
total wreck. At subsequent periods, Mrs. b.
embarked in two other ships bound to Cali
fornia, the Humayom and the Fanchion, 10th
of which vessels were also destroyed by fire,
the former off Cape Horn and the latter on
the coast of Peru.-N Y. cor. Bulletin.
The Mrs. Bates, above alluded to, is, We
think, the same lady who in 1854 supern
tended the household affairs of the fremont

Esq. She is a very interesting woman-fu!l
of Yankee energy and much originality OF

THE San Diego Herald, of Nov. 10th, says
that "there is an armed party of Mexicans en-

an attack on the forces which sustain the
present government. They had lot of Ian
ces made at San Diego few days ago, ant
are engaged openly in procuring arms an,
ammunition. This recruiting and fitting ou
an armed expedition on American soil, fo
the purpose of invading an other country
should not be tolerated for n moment and We

to arrest the whole party, and have them
dealt with as Walker and other flibusters

At the meeting of the Synod of New York

grave oody so far as several times to set them

Col. Inge.

1t appears that the chances of this gentle
man for the United States Senatorship, at
the next meeting Of the Legislature, are con-
siderably improving. The influence manly
used in his favor is the fact of his stern deyo'
tion to the interests of the Pacific Coast IN the
Democratic National Convention which nom
mated james Buchanan. He then refused to
90 for Mr.. Buchanan, because he was not
pledged to the Pacific Railroad, and fought
vigorously against his nomination on that ac-
count After his failure to defeat the nomi-
nation of Mr.. Buchanan, he insisted upon an
endorsement of the Pacific Railroad, in some
shape or manner by the Convention, and 50
the Pacific railroad plank was attached ia
the tail end of the platform. For this cham
pionship of the great work so important to
California, there are many Democrats who
regard Col. Inge with very friendly feelings
and would be willing to trust him with the
interests of California in the capacity of a
United States Senator.
The improving chances of Col. Inge argue
that there will be no election this winter
Were he out of the field the likelihood is that
there could be q concentration of votes sutii-
cient to elect Weller or defeat him by the
election of Baldwin or Washington The
very respectable number of votes, however,
which Inge has secured, will so divide up
the forces of each candidate that no election
can take place That is to say there can be
no agreement in caucus and rather than run
the risk of chance-yoting in the Joint Con-
vention, the friends of the different candi-
dates will cheerfully vote for nm adjournment
sine die without any election.
