The Present Excitement,

Californians generally have an excitment
on hand, and just now the reports from the
Washoe mines are making men feverish with
anxiety respecting the richness Of the silver
mines discovered in the new diggings. Gold
Lake, Kern and Frazer rivers, have had their
day and their victims; and humbug is writ
ten upon every page of their history; but if
we can believe half that is told, Washoe is
to prove an exception-the land Of Opbir
has indeed been found. .lA
The newspapers are teeming with accounts
from the diggings, written by reliable men,
who all concur in saying that the silver ores
taken from the leads so far found are of won
derful richness. The ores are said to yield
from $500 to $500 of silver per ton, and as
yet these statements are not contradicted. 1t
seems almost incredible for bslief, but in the
absence of any denial we are compelled to
give credence, and share in the general inter-
est awakened. t
There is probably much exsggeration res
pecting the new mines, but that valuable dis
coveries have been and will continue to be
made, sufficient to draw large and indus
trious mining population, we have no doubt
The mines will continue to grow in impor-
lance from day to day, and population gather
to them. AS a result, trade of vast impor-
lance must spring up between the new com
munities and those on this side of the noun
tains; and wherever the facilities for trade
and travel is best, there it will find its way.
Already are the people of Yuba, Sierra and
Nevada counties making preparations to push
roads to the heart of the new mines, and are
determined to have them made at an early
day. Placer county is directly west Of the
diggings-has favorable routes, that can be
improved at comparatively small cost-and
in short time could be ready to have daily
communication with them. We expect the
people of the eastern art of the county to
move in this matter, and hope measures will
soon be taken to forward an enterprise that
promises so much to the business interests of
the county.

Democratic Committee Of Placer County
Personal.

B. F. Washington and Geo. Pen. John
ston, Esqs., have been spending several days
in Auburn this week. They have met many
old friends and acquaintance, who have
given them cordial welcome to the noun
tains. These gentlemen are valiant champ
Iona of the Democracy. Annually we ex-
pect to meet Pen, who sallies out to do bat
tie in the cause, and is warmly greeted by
the "herce Democratic" wherever be goes.
Col. Washington is we'll known through
out the State as an estimable gentleman and
prominent Democrat, who has done able
service as an editor and orator.
He has been announced as candidate for
the U. S. Senate, and will doubtless receive
hearty support from his. friends in the next
Legislature.

Assessors REPoRr.-We give to-day the
Assessors Report for the present year. 1t
contains list of valuable statistics Of prop
erty, that shows the growing wealth Of our
county. BY comparison with the report Of
last year. we find gratifying increase in
various branches Of industry, which We shall
take early opportunity to exhibit. Notwith-
standing the extraordinary falling off in the
return of mining property--consequent upon
a decision Of the Supreme Court-we find
that the aggregate of property returned for
1859 is $3s,2l7 more than last year. This
is due te the active diligence of Mr.. Harper,
the County Assessor, and bis Deputies.
