SLATE RASGE.-Thisis An extensive gravel
ridge lying in the upper part of Yuba coun-
ty, between the Middle and North forks of
the Yuba river, about eleven miles from
North San Juan. It has long been known to
be very rich, but could only be work ked at
such localities as were supplied with water
by the winter rains. Dads Gulch has been
worked for several years, has yielded many
thousands of dollars and acquired a consid-
cradle reputation. Some parties are work
ing there now. They have to cart their dirt
some distance, and can wash but three hours
a day, owing to the scarcity of water yet
they manage to make FIVE and six dollars per
diem to the hand. The alluviaI deposit on,
Slate Range consists of a deep bed of gray
ell, covered by the usual red earth of these
mountain ridges, through which quartz veins
crop out at Intervals. The decomposed
quartz and red dirt is said to afford prospec-
tors good color to the pan, and even as
much as from six to twelve cents. IF water
was introduced large and prosperous mi
ming community would doubtless soon spring
up. 1t is reported that water is to be brought
in from the Truckee Lake Ditch. The surf
ace soil is well adapted for tillage, support
ing luxuriant native growths of fruit vines,
plants and trees. The range is abont one
mile wide and several miles in length. We
hope to learn of its early occupation for mi
ming and gardening purposes.

EXPRESS RoBBERIEs-O the arrival of the
boat at San Francisco, on Monday evening,
a bag, belonging to. Freeman Il Cos Express
containing $4,000 in gold dust, was stoleE-
The express matter, on that trip, consisted
of six bags, and six bags were taken from
the boat to the office by the porter, but one
of them was found to be filled with iron and
shot The porter was instantly suspected
of having substituted this counterfeit bag for
the genuine one, and he and the driver ef
the express wagon were promptly arrested,
and no doubt is entertained of their guilt,
The next day the same Express Co. was
robbed of a box of gold dust, worth 81, 500,
which was taken from the stage coach be-
tween Michigan Bluff and Yankee Jim's, by
two highway robbers, one of whom has been
captured. The Express Co. promptly paid
the amounts due the consignees in both cases.

MYSTERY SoLvED.-A yonng lady, Miss
Hattie May, has recently created quite n
sensation at home and in Marysville, by get
ting up rumors of her death, while on a
pretended visit to San Francisco. A reputa-
bic gentleman of our acquaintance just from
Estradilla, Alameda county, informs us that
he left the young lady alive and well in that
town, few days ago, being under the afrec-
tionate protection of distinguished married
gentleman of Yuba City. The matter, it is
to be presumed, will breed trouble, in two if
not more, families. A vast deal of domestic
peace continues to be sacrificed on the shrine
of gallantry in California.

MARfsviLLE ERAILRoAD.-From the Democrat
and Express, of Thursday, we learn that the
vallejo and Marysville Railroad is now 90
ing ahead in earnest. They state that John
d. Atchison has recently closed a contract
with Judge Dame, on the part of the San
francisco and Marysville Railroad Company,
to complete the road from Marysville to the
Sacramento river, for the ties and iron, by
the lss of September next. Mr.. Atchison
has advertised for eight hundred additional
laborers to go on the work. Here is fine
chance for able-bodied men out of employ
ment.

HORACE GREELEY.-This gentlenans arri-
val in California has excited unusual, bat
not undeserved, tokens of respect and friend
ship. He was cordially received at Placer
vile on the 30th ul4., and expressed his thanks
in an eloquent and interesting speech, giving
an account of his overland trip and his ideas
on the subject of the railroad. He was
warmly received at Folsom, by citizens gen.
orally and committee from Sacramento,
making few remarks explanatory of the
object of his visit. He was put through the
martyrdom of another public reception at
the Capital, on Monday the 1st inst ac-
knowledged the compliment in happy
speech, and made long address at DR.. Ben
toms church in the evening. His topic was
upon the subject, as reported in the Union,
are marked by all the good sense, directness
and practicability which characterize the
man. He said, among other things, that "the
bill for Pacific Railroad must decide moth
ing about localities-a road is all that is
needed. The Government of itself must
not build tit cannot do so economically.
The way will be to advertise for proposals,
and say that the company which will give
security in given time at the smallest cost
to the Governments can have it. Make your
own location-give one mile to the contrac
tors on each side of the track on the main
line, not following the curve, and let them
bid against each other and the lowest take it.
They shall agree also.to convey the Govern
ment's mails, troops and munitions of war
at low prices. In this way, and on these con-
ditions, he believed fifty millions of dollars
out of the treasury would build it, and before
that amount was expended it would come
back in duties on the products used. 1t would
be built in ten years and the Government
would have the cost of it in its treasury"

The BEREAvED ONEs.-The Sacramento
Bee gives us an affecting account of the pres
ent state of maternal piety in the Capital
City. The Rev. Mr.. Hill, while preaching
his farewell sermon, on last Sunday evening,
stated that several members of his society
had met with Affections in losing small chill
dren, and as source of consolation, the
pastor acceded to request to deliver dis
course to sbereayed mothers He did so
upon specially selected evening, and, sim
gular as it may seem, not one of the bereaved
parents attended; although several of them
did not fail to visit the opera nightly. They
preferred singing to signing.

sixty years, and has rejected upon Germany

GmrnLAY.-A correspondent of the New

as follows:
"In the afternoon we heard Gil6Ilan, man

guage for the illustration of the beautiful art and
morals. Aud yet | saw nothing beautiful in

common things in that rusty looking head of
his. LANDS he had, and voice, and gown, and
bands, and good sized head covered with ter
ricr like hair But how stately aud sour and
contemptuous in that otherwise easy and flow
ing rhetoric of his was the Gtillan who in books
had made me stare with the rich elfiucnce of
his pen. Yet all was in keeping. The church
was large, double-galleried, narrOw-pewcd, un-
painted, dingy and ugly. The pulpit was an
orthodox egg-cup with long, solemn stem, mar
row blackboard, and dusty, superintendent
canopy The egg Of this sublimely exclusive
cup was no doubt good, but very hard boiled

les me, and there is therein some charity in ITS

the George Giltillan of my books with the man
who flung out his proudly spoken language to
me from the disdainfu lips, AS he stood in his
black ascerbity, in that egg-cup pulpit, in the
Dig, grim, lOyleSS church IN the town Of Dundee.
t'Neither do find that AIN alone in my new
