THE RECORD OF A DAY IN CHARLEsToWN.
The people here arc congratulating themselves on
the decline of the excitement Enough, however lasts
to more than satisfy inexperienced visitors whose lives
are not 30 holly spiced with warke variety those
Of the sunny Souherners. / call il fair evidence Of
excitement to find a town in such explosive state Of
feeling that the slightest spark of Northern sentiment
sets it of roaring and violent illregulated vol
cano. When martial law pervades community;
when no two persons can meet without helping one
another to loud-soundng expressions Of wrath; when
business is more than half suspended; when female
residents are restrained from venurng beyond their
thresholds so that bonnet il rare a curiosity
phrase without an oath; when armed patrols
stantly on the alert; when Sharp's rifles take the
places of walkingsticks; when every stranger is
hemmed in by vulgar scrutiny, and forced to undergo
continual inspection, or reved in newspapers, think
the existence of excitement may be acknowledged
without much difficulty. Let me endeavor TO give
notion of the most prominent public events of a
dav in Charlestown-those which would strike new
conner the most forcibly, and which far less

The Chinese.

The Committee appointed by the Assembly to
examine whether it was possible, in the face of
the recent decisions OF the Supreme Court, to
devise law which would stop the immigration
of Chinese to this State, have reported that it is
impossible. They therefore recommend the
Legislature to ask Congress to do it for u.s.

for the privilege of working the mines, to fix
that tax at ten, twenty fifty dollars per month.

THEY TAKE IT CooLY.-Thc news of the ad
mission of Oregon was received at Portland on
the 18th inst, by the Brother Jonathan. The
Standard of the 10th says:
On the receipt of the news of the admission
yesterday, most of the flags about town were
hoisted; but singular to say, there was no other
manifestation of gratifying character display
ed. A stranger would think that our citizens
were not pleased at the news, or else that we
take good things very stoically and phlegmati-
cally. Is there to be no general demonstration
We are not surprised that the people of Ore
gon are not unusually excited with delight at
their admission into the Union. Henceforth they
will have to go down into their own pockets for
the salaries of their Governors, Judges, Legisla-
tors and other officers. Henceforth they will
have to pay for building their public highways
Henceforth they will have to tax themselves to
support a Government no more beneficial than
that heretofore furnished them by Congress
They have ceased to be favorite proteges of a
generous, parental government. No more ap-
preparations at the hands of Congress, to i'm
prove their territory can they expect. 1t is q
little singular that Oregonians learned nothing
from the history of California. Had this State
remained in territorial condition up to the
present day, we verify believe our people would
now be. better off, while just as many light
houses and Notifications would be erected, and
Pacific Railroad would be equally as near
completion. Be that as it may, however oil
persons admit that it would have been greatly
to our advantage had we remained out of the
Union few years longer. Oregon, with hel
population of $4,000, is destined to enjoy the
benefit of the same lesson.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN ?-In Senate proceedings
on the Revenue Bill, we find the following, as
reported in the Union:
Upon motion of Mr.. Bradley, and amended
oy other Senators, Calaveras, Amador, Pumas
ana Shasta were inserted in section IS, adding
them to other counties in which it was provided
that the County Clerk should be ex-o6fcio Audi
tor and Recorder.-Adopted.
What does this mean? Does Senator Garter
desire thus to repeal the act of last winter. in
troduced by Mr.. Street, which separates the Of
flee of County Clerk from the Office of Recorder
IL So and his wish is consummated, there will
be one less Office to strive for in the next County
Convention.

A VOLCANO IN SHASTA COUNTY The Alta has
started a discussion about the existence of q
volcano in this county. Many of our citizens
appear to think that no such thing has ever been
talked of before. DR.. Trask, State Geologist, in
his report made to the Legislature in 1858,
which was printed and scattered through the
State in large numbers, asserted, from personal
observation, the existence of an active volcano
in this county. We perceive that the Petaluma
Journal states that G. jackson, of that town, in
the month of April, 1851, in company with sew
eral companions, paid visit to volcano situ-
ated some forty or fifty miles in N. or E. N. E.
course from Lasson's Butte. An immense col
umn of the heated air issued from an opening
forty or fifty feet in diameter. With such force
was this air emitted that stones weighing twen-
" pounds, upon being thrown into the chasm,
were hurled upward into the air to a consider
able height 1t is very certain, if this active
volcano does exist, that it has been seen by very
few persons.

HARE, THE REvoLUTIoYIsT.-We observe that
the Columbia News has thought fit to take tilt
at Hon. Isaac Hare, because of his participancy
in the late miners movement in this county
Considering the fact that many people at dis
tance believed that our miners were in open re-
bellion, and causing blood to flow in every ..
vine and gulch, ahd adown every hillside, and
through every " long TOM and sluce box in
the county, we are not surprised that the leader
of the Horsetown and Texas Springs company
was looked upon as terrible man of blood We
assure persons at distance, however, that
while Hare has rs little fear of danger as any
living man, Tin our opinion,) he is one of the
best natured and most peaceably disposed men
in our county. He did more to prevent any in
fraction of the law than the Sheriff, and all his
Deputies and them &c one hundred and thirteen
guns" We can well believe, as stated by the
News, that" On several occasions during The
war, with Mexico] Hare proved himself to be 6
daring, fearless soldier, in one instance leading
the forlorn hope of a storming party
