On A STRIKE.-The miners about Co.
lumbia Hill, Humbug and mining camps
thereaway are on stiike for reduc-
ton of water. In some of the disaffec-
ted camps measures have been taken to
secure possession of claims till the price
of water is reduced to fifteen cents an
inch. The present price is twenty-five
cents. We learn from some of the stri-
kers that it is the intention of the mi
ners TO adhere to their resolution to the
end, and our informants give as reason
for the movement that the mines will
not pay wages and water money at the
present rates. Either water must be
reduced in price or the miners work tor
bare subsistence or less.

Adjourned.

The tenth session of tho Legislature
Of the State adjourned sine die, on Tues.
day. the 10th inst, having been under
pay one hundred and eight days With
one exception, the session just closed is
the shortest one of all. The Know
Nothing Legislature of 1856 was under
pay but one hundred and six days.
The general feeling in this communi-
ty is that of gladness that the farce is
over. 1t is a prevalent opinion that the
last Legislature was the poorest one of
all in point of intellect or honesty. How
just the impression may be we will
not undertake to say. But we
know that has been the identical cry
at the close Of every Legislature these
many years. Our Solons are always
praised in nearly the same terms, year
after year, for their good looks, intel
lectual and honest appearance and SO
forth, on their assembling at the capitol,
and universally cursed ir the same ste.
reotyped phrases at their dispersion.
1t is the custom of the country to ex-
tol an officer when he goes into power
and decry him when he goes out. We
have in our minds eye number of
newspapers that pronounced Buchan-
ans inaugural and first message nation
al, statesmanlike, and as having the
ring of the genuine metal about them,
when in reality the dull, pewter sound
was clearly distinguishable. We know
the same editors to pride themselves
upon the acuteness of their tympanums
now in testing pieces with Buchanan's
image and superscription upon them. If
our memory is not treacherous John B.
Weller, on his taking the Executive
chair, received the plaudits of many
parties, for his statesman-like docu-
ments and honest sentiments, who think
"as statesman he is not many pump
king now. GAS we said before-so to
speak" it is the custom of the country to
extol an officer when he goes into power
and decry him when he goes out.
The Legislature of 1859 is no more,
and we make these remarks to speak
alphabetically, if not reverently, of the
dead.

~ We have received for publica-
ton long communication on the Bible
in Public. Schools, which we decline
publishing for the following reasons -
First, it is anonymous. Second, it has
scarcely capital letter, or punctua-
tion mark from beginning to end
Third, it is written on both sides of the
paper. And Fourth, the language is
so far superior to the mechanical ap-
pearance of the document, and its other
literary merits, as to induce a suspicion
that it had been copied. Either of these
reasons is sufficient to warrant its rejec
ton.
