gr A California paper gives the following
big 6sh story, which, nevertheless Il claims to
be true
AN Clay street was set agog by the an
announcement that huge hnney denizen Of the
Bay, in the shape Of a sea bass, was 10 be seen
in the store Of Messrs. Howes a Elan. On res
pairing thitber we found the store aforesaid
filled with a wonder stricken crowd gaping at
q leviathan bass whose ponderous length lay
stretched upon the floor, his dimensions being
seven feet and two inches in length, five feet
one inch around the largest part Of the body,
and weighing no less than three hundred and
sixty pounds. The sea bass, we believe, is
seldom known TO attain weight exceeding one
hundred pounds--so at least the fishermen in,
form us-snd thus this fellow, apparently the
father OF ali sea bass, is indeed Btobdiguauian
specimen ofhis kind The story Of his capture
is briefly as follows.
A party Of i7e, started out yesterday in a
Whitehall boat oa fishing excursion. They
observed a large fish near the boat, and on the
impulse Of the moment one Of the party raised
a gun loaded with duck shot and fired at IT,
The shot seemed 10 paralyze the fish. for he kept

because he happened at Harper's Ferry, du'
ring the excitement there, have now turned
their attention to Hon Mathew johnson, U. s.

The offence against the Marshal is, that Cope~

The Chinese Question.

TEXAS SPRINGS, Feb. 10th, 1859.
EDITORS COURIER The Republican of last
week expresses the opinion that not one in FIVE
of the American miners endorse the proceedings
of the Shasta County Miners Convention, or
something to that effect Now hold that this
is direct insult to all who participated in the
proceedings of that Convention, for they said it
the county. The Republicans assertion, then, is
equivalent to casting the lie in the teeth of the
members of the Convention. would ask what
miners have taken action against the proceed
ings of the Convention The eight Briggsvile
miners who sent four delegates TO the Conven-
ion None others, except the moon-eyed, long
Jailed bipeds, certainly
If the editor of the Republican had been here

GIVE the report Of the delegates to the County
Convention, the house was literally crammed,

perceive that some gentlemen are endeavor-
ing to couple the Squaw question with the Chi

opposed to the Chinese. Now it seems to me
hat men who are willing to associate with Chi
namen are the most likely to associate with
piggers. think that man who would wor-
hip at the shrine of Chinadom would not hesi-
ate to worship at the shrine of Dggerdom. The
criptures say that out of the abundance of the

HIGHEST MoUNrAN-A writer in the S. F.
Call says:
Mount Shasta has an altitude of 81 900 feet
instead OF IA 4,500 as was formerly supposed. This
altitude was determined by Capt. Beckwith, u
s. Typographical Engineers and although he
was unable to determine the exact numbers, yet
he was enabled to determine that it exceeded
$4,000 feet, and he has assured me that its ap-
proxmate height is 81 900 feet above the ocean
This fact will be received as an important item
by all Californians, more particularly those who
go abroad, as they not only claim the high
est trees and highest waterfalls, but the highest
mountain in the world.
We have no doubt that we may every day look
upon the highest mountain in the United States,
but not in the world. The Peak of Chimborazo
in Bolivia, is over 29 200 feet in height, and the
Himalaya Mountains, in Asia, are upwards of
$4,000 feet in height
