THE OREGON GRUMBLERs.-Some of the
Oregon papers which we have read lately,
talk as if they anticipated stampede of
people from that State to this; and to pre-
vent such dire catastrophe they print de-
famatory items, original and quoted, tending
to prove our commemorative physical and
moral inferiority. That is poor policy, and
of sort not needed to keep Californians at
home. There are unquiet folk in all parts
of Yankee land who will, true to hereditary
instinct, take up their beds and walk fire.
quently, no matter what the all-wise local
editor saith contrary thereto. Let them go.
The best citizens are those quiet people who
know when they have got good thing, and
are determined to stay by it, despite of what
syren-voiced rumor may report concerning
the richness of other lands. Oregon has
enough settlers of that kind to make her a
great State in time, without the necessity
of malgning her gold-waisted sister, Cali
fornia.

A NOVEL RACE-Two miners who have
been employed at the quartz mill of Refs &
Co., at the Downieville Buttes, agreed to run
a race barefoot to Downieville, distance of
twelve miles, over rocky trail, for a wager
of $500. On Sunday last the foolish trial
oof speed came off. We are told by gentle
man, just from the vicinity, that one of the
parties ran very fast distance of of two and
a half or three miles, and then gave out
falling over precipice and hurting himself
SO badly that he had to be conveyed to the
hospital. The other party, who began more
leisurely, made the journey at his ease af-
ter the mishap of his companion, and pock-
eted the wager.
