Now, Mr.. Editor, With all this mining region, we
consider ourselves quite independent and prosperous
community. We have no doctors, lawyers constables,
justices, officials of any knd-neiher do wish
any We are all popular-soyeregnty people here-be-
eye III selfgovernment. Only few days since had
a miners meeting to settle disputed claim between
two miners. Judges chosen, witnesses duly ex-
amined and decision promptly rendered. There
court fees lawyers bills TO pay, and all the
expense incurred that the person in whose favor
the decided had to treat the crowd, when all
went off satisfied. And again, few days after the
meeting above mentioned, we had another miners mee-
ting to settle another difficulty The judges were cho-
sen, witnesses examined, and decision rendered; but
the persons against whom the verdict was decided to
pattern after the vulgar proceedings of the inferior and
superior courts of the rest of the world appealed to
higher court and this higher court consisted of judges
from the great big city of North San juan The
again tried before these supreme Judges and the
decision reversed which appears to give satisfaction
thus demonstrating that miners from big city, who
own rich claims, know more than miners ia small
district, who poor claims.

MURDER AT DUTCH FLAT.-Mr. 10.

MURDER AT DUTCH FLAT.-Mr. Jo-
.seph Thomas, citizen of North San
Juan, has received telegraphic informa-
4ion of the murder of cousin of his,
by the same name, at Dutch Flat on
Tuesday last. Full particulars are given
n..the Nevada Journal, from which pa
per we learn that Mr.. Thomas was
stabbed while lying sick in bed, and by
a man who was nursing him! The
wretch was angry because the sick man
had disputed the correctness OF his blil
for services rendered, which he wanted
paid at once, and while tending on him
plunged long-bladed bowie knife deep
into his side, inficting a frightful wound,
which has since caused his death. The
murdered man formerly lived in San
Juan with his relative, and was peace
able harmless person. The murderer
is now in the Auburn Jail.

MOUNT VERNoN.-The Juror inau-
gurated by Everett has extended to Cal
ifornia. Nearly every paper in the State
contains an "Appeal Of the Ladies
Mount Vernon Association" from the
California Vice Regent, Mrs. Magdalen
G. Blanding, according to which docu-
ment, lady managers, Or agents, are to
be appointed in each city, town, village
and mining camp in the State, with au-
thority to receive contributions and en-
roll members. The price of member
ship in this patriotic league-of having
your name handed down to posterity on
a longer and more honorable roll than
that of the filibusters who followed Will
liam the Norman to England only
one dollar; though the generous are not
limited to this sum, should they wish to
give more.
We honor the object for which these
women of America are laboring, and
have already given our share Of influence
and money to promote it; but feel some
what ashamed that such universal fuss
has to be made to obtain such compar-
atively small sum as 100000. For the
honor of the country every person who
has dollar to spare ought to donate it
at once, and put an end to this crusade
on the pockets of the nation-this ap-
parent stinginess which bellies our pro-
.fessions of love for Washington. Per-
haps, though, stinginess is not the right
sword. 1t may be that the majority of
our citizens are content to quietly ven
crate the memory of our nations Moses,
and feel averse to anything resembling
man-worship. Some of them may pos
sibly believe that there is a sort of in
justice in singing out even Washington
for such an ovation as this Mount Yer
non excitement may be said to constitute.
A few there certainly are who feel and
think thus, and it would not be right to
call them either stingy or unpatriotic.
The amount already paid to Mr..
Washington for the purchase of Mount
Vernon is $4,000.

North Bloomfield.

Here, as elsewhere up the Ridge, mi
ming operations have been almost en-
tirely stopped by the snow and ice, and
cannot be generally resumed until rain
or sunshine removes those Instructions
The Miners Neacs, the second number
of which has made its sprightly appea-
rance, complains that no school has been
in operation this winter, and considers
the fact discTeditable.
Our obliging correspondent "Zeke,"
favors US with the following:
"There has been very little done on
the Humbug Flume--a work on which
depends the salvation of our town-the
contractor not being favored with suf-
ficiency of water to prosecute the work !;
and many are the curses both loud and
deep which are heaped upon him. It is
impossible for him to do anything in
the absence of fwater-therefore, | think
he is wrongly censured. The fume
was first started by company of miners,
whose sole object was to obtain fall to
work the creek, or ground belonging to
them, supposing that it would thus pay
them for their laborin constructing it,not
even dreaming of making speculation
out of it. Had it remained in their
hands, [ have no doubt it would have
been completed year and a half or two
years ago. But no sooner had they got
it fairly under way than it attracted the
attention of schemers who managed to
get in, believing it to be good chance
for speculation-and it is they who
should receive the curses, instead of the
present contractor. 1t has always been
the aim of few of the company, from
the time the enterprise went out of the
hands of the original owners, to own it
all and in order to do so sort of "bean
poker" game was resorted to, and many
of the members were ''frozen out" with
out the privilege of "sight hand"
even. For the past year about all the
amusement the citizens of our place
have been entertained with, was afford
ed by the meetings of the company
There has been nothing but strife and
dissension, the greatest trouble being
that they could not all be officers. tits
no wonder that the miners and business
men of our place should be SO vexed at
the conduct of the company, for it is
certainly as much to the interest of the
company to complete it as soon as possi-
BILE, and be reaping some benefit from it,
as it is to that of the miners and others.
If the contractor is favored with water
soon, 1 have every reason to believe that
he will complete it by the first of June,
if not sooner, which will enable the mi
ners to do good summers work.
There are few companies washing
on Nassau and Colorado Hills, but |
have not learned with what success.
Myers & Co., on Humbug Flat, is the
only company working on the creek or
hat-they using all the water the creek
affords at the present time. They are
taking it out largely. Last week they
averaged an ounce day to the hand,
taking out ON Saturday the sum of
Sl34 5O-about half days washing.
Previous to last weeks washing they
averaged from eight to ten dollars per
day to the hand; frequently finding

The Balloon AscensiOn--AccOunt
by one 81 the Eronauss.

Troy, n. Y July 3.
The Daily Whig learns from Mr.. eager,
one Of the passengers by the Atlantic, who
arrived here this morning, the following par
ticulars
On Saturday, at 1:l2, p. m, by ST. Louis
time, we were abreast Of Rochester, over
Lake Ontario, when the altitude was changed,
on the increase Of the wind, which was blow,
ing perfect hurricane, unaccompaniod by
rain. The supply Of gas was small, conse
quently the balloon did not reach the altitude
above the storm. The vessel was immedi-
ately headed for land. When the storm
was highest, the vessel was only about thirty
feet above the level Of the Lake.
We reached land in a few seconds, in the
town Of Henderson, jefferson county, with
all hands on board. We landed in an edge
Of woods, with the basket swinging to and
fro, making rapid eyolutiOns among the high
est branches Of the trees; the passengers
olinging TO the rigging.
The strength and general excellence Of the
balloon basket, probably saved the party.
The balloon was LEFT in high tree, swing
ing above the boat, and much damaged. The
whole distance travelled is !, $50 miles. We
started at GAO, y. m, on Friday from st.
Louis, and landed at Henderson, at 2:20, p.
m, Saturday. Mr.. Lamountain remained in
charge Of the balloon, and Mr.. Wise, Mr..
eager, and Mr.. Hyde, viii come on in the
eastern train.
A grand reception was given to the parties
at the village Of Adams, Jefferson County.
