The Grand Jury.

This body has not yet adjourned, and its
present session, we believe, has been already
longer than that of any previous Grand Jury
in the county
Having taken cognizance Of the cases Of
grand larceny, embezzlement, murder, DC,
and made presentments therein, it next pro
ceeded to inquire into the long unnoticed but
notorious violations of the law in respect to
gambling. A great many witnesses have
been examined and large number of indict-
ments found. Some of them are against in.
dividuals who ought to have set a better ex-
ample in the community. Some are against
young men who have aged parents or other
relatives in great measure dependent upon
their exertions, and who have shamelessly
wasted their earnings at the gaming table
Married and unmarried men, we believe, are
indicted, and there will be general stirring
up of the community. in respect to this mon
ster evil. 1t will cost considerable amount
of money to conduct the prosecutions, but
the benefit to the community will be i'm
mense.
The Grand Jury having disposed of the
gambling cases. are supposed now to be en-
gagged in inquiring into the manner in which
certain county officials have discharged their
duties, and into the heavy amounts Of mo-
neY allowed by the Board of Supervisors
without due examination, as is charged, into
the correctness Of accounts and the warrant
of proper vouchers. If any county officers
have oyercharged the county for their servi-
ces, it will appear, and the matter be fully
laid before the public by the Grand Jury.
If the Grand Jury does indeed follow up
this business it will be almost the first time
that such body has done its duty in this
regard and it viii be entitled to the unqual-
flied respect of all good citizens Investiga-
tion can do no hurt, and those who are guilt
less will so appear. Let the CALLED jade
vince" those whose "withers are unwrung'
have nothing to fear We sincerely hope,
however that it will be shown that the af-
fairs of the county have been conducted in
straightforward and honorable manner.

The PIONEER PREss.-The Butte Record
says
Sam Brannnn, Esq, claims to have per-
formed the pioneer act of press work in San
Francisco, on Ramage press, for which he
has lately offered handsome sum. This Of
fer has started an inquiry for the whereabouts
of the said Ramage. Some of the Pioneer
Printers of the State conclude that it was
carried into the southern portion of the State,
and destroyed; whilst others are disposed to
believe that it was taken to Nevada and
burned by the fire of 1856. Nothing of the
kind, gentlemen. The identical old Ramage
is now in the Record office, having passed
from the Times and Transcript office when
that institution was removed from Sacramen
to, to the Daily Californian. 1t was pur-
chased together with other material of that
Office taken to Bidwell Bar, and thence re-
moved to Orovillei in 1856. 1t was used as a
job press until 1857, when it was superseded
ty Ruggles and lain up in ordinary.
BY the expenditure of a paltry sum for this
pioneer press, Mr.. Brannan desires to become
the Franklin of California, right which is
disputed with him by Senior Bartlett, of New
York We shall not be party to any such
transaction, at least not until The question is
settled between Senor Bartlett and Mr.. Bran.
nan, as to who really did work off the first
sheet issued in San Francisco. We are dis
posed to believe that it was Senior Bartlett,
as he has rich Son in.law, and, in that
event. the "Ramage" is worth an estate in
Cuba. Should Mr. Brannan prove to be the
man, the press will not command quite so
high figure, but it will even then exhaus,
his well stocked sheep ranch on Feather river
to obtain it. Correspondence has already
been opened with Senors Ovedo and Bart
lett concerning it, and if it does not command
IA Cuban estate, we shall be prepared TO ne
gotiate with Mr.. Brannan. Having struck a
lead. after long and patient toll, we are
bound to have a tobacco plantation in Cuba
or a sheep ranch on Feather river

SPURGEoN.-A London correspondent of

as an unknown man, and he never would o.

GOLD IN CmoKENs.-Mr. John Hoesch, ol
this city, recently won some chickens at a
shooting match, and took them home to be

there were taken five or six pieces of gold,

The gold was of the unwrought kind Ira

About ten miles from Walker river, to-
wards the Mono diggings, the hot springs
present themselves The water gushes out o
the granite rocks by several avenues, ant
runs off in a smoking lively stream. 1t il

persons talk about cooking their food in this

purpose This water has strong saline prop
