A FEARFUL CAsUALTY-On Monday last,
as William Holt, with another man, was
employed in tamping a blast on Shady creek,
apremature explosion occurred and wounded
him frightfully, but did not injure his COM
panion. He suffered compound fracture
of the left arm, and fracture of the left leg.
The hand of his broken arm was dreadfuly
lacerated, his throat torn so as to reveal the
carotid artery, a mere scratch of which
would have proved fatal, his chin cut into
the bone, his face and eyes burned, and his
body much bruised in many places. The
poor fellow was a fine looking excellent
young man, and has our earnest sympathy
in his terrible misfortune He is under the
treatment of DR.. Cleburne, who hopes to
save both fractured limbs The miners oc-
cupation is truly fearful one, and demands
its victims with startling frequency. The
brave men who industriously pursue such a
dangerous vocation canuot be too highly ap-
preciated nor too generously treated. They
never can meet with more success than they
deserve, whilst they do not commonly
achieve as much.

THE SALMON FIsHERIEs.-It is estimated
that from 5000 to 5000 barrels of salmon
will be taken this season in the salmon fish
cries Of Eel river, HUMBOLDT county. Most
of the companies are now at work cleaning
up their grounds. Snagging" is a labori-
ous but necessary preliminary to the fishery.
Diggers are employed as divers, to fasten
hooks and ropes to logs and sunken trees,
and with the assistance of few strong men
and windlass, massive trunks that have
lain imbedded in the rivers bank for years,
are thus returned to their native atmos-
phere.

ANOTHER FATAL AccIDENT.-This commu-
nifty was shocked, on Wednesday last, by the
report that three men had been buried by a
cave Of earth in the Sailor claims, on San
Juan Hill. The report was partly true.
While Messrs- Boniface, Sharp, Effinger and
Rodgers were working under portion of
the bank which had formerly been covered
by reservoir, and rendered unsafe by that
cause, though not thought so large body
of it broke and fell into the chasm below.
Mr.. ]. II. Moore saw it start and gave the
alarm. Boniface, who was piping, dropped
his pipe and effected safe retreat, but the
other three were all caught. Effinger was
borne some distance by the rolling earth af-
ter it struck the bottom, but protected from
burial by some stumps, escaping with a
slight bruise- Sharp was partially buried
and had his leg cut. John Rodgers was
buried ten feet deep and killed, evidently
by suffocation, as there were no bones
broken, nor any indications of internal in
jury. He was an industrious man, about
27 years of age, native of Lowell, Massa-
chusetts, but for number of years resi-
dent of New Orleans. He has a mother liv-
ing in this place, who is plunged in grief at
his premature death. He was a member of
the SeameD's Benevolent Association, under
whose charge his remains were affectionately
and decently inferred on Thursday after
noon. This excellent society has been Pc
culiarly unfortunate, Since its first organi-
Zation, in July last, three of its members
have been carried to the grave, and all the
victims Of mining accidents.

The News of Senator Brodericks death
excited here, as everywhere throughout the
State, the most profound regret and veiled
hundreds of faces in gloom. Flags were
hung at half mast along the streets. and
many public and private buildings were
dffFtped with mournful Grape. On Sunday
evening, the Rev. ANr. Mr. Seymour delivered an
able earnest address upon the event, forcibly
denouncing duelling as a sin against God
and man and condemning that public senti-
ment which toleratcs or excuses it.

Good reports come from every locality
where washing is going on, but few figures
The weekly cleanings on San Juan Hill have
not yet been made.
W. s Day made an interesting experiment
which is worth general notice and trial
The shaft leading to tunnel having become
choked up with earth and water, he half
filled quicksilver tank with powder, at
tached to it piece of safety fuse, stopped
the mouth of the tank so that it would not
admit water, lighted the end Of the fuse
which he had ascertained would burn in
water, and then dropped the tank into the
shaft. Immediately upon sinking to the
earth it exploded, and the water above Of
fering a greater resistance than the soft
earth and gravel below, the entrance to the
tunnel was at once cleared. Attempts to
clear choked up shafts by taking hose and
pipe into the tunnels with which they con-
meet, has heretofore caused the loss of sew
eral valuable lives, and for this reason it is
to be hoped the simple experiment we have
described will be thoroughly tested. There
is but little reason to doubt that it will be
uniformly successful; thus not only pre-
serving life, but saving much time and mo.
ney.

the subjoined cheering particulars:

Among others who have cleaned up during
the past two weeks, are Cummings & Co.,
who realized So 600. Their expenses for
that time were S97O. John Driscoll took
out 5000 so, his expenses being $3.50.
Logan and Goodmotts yield was 1854, ex-
penses about Sl3O; Phelan & Co.'S S537 :;
and Roach & Co. $634 So Besides these
considerable number of companies have
been working and doing well, but on
smaller scale. Taken as a whole, the dig
gings in this neighborhood will compare
very favorably with those of any other camp
on the Ridge, especially when it is consid-
cred what comparative trihe is required to
open and work any set of claims in this dis
trict"

The funeral sermon of John Rodgers was
preached at the NJ E. Church by Rev. Mr..
Seymour, to large audience. The people
of the mining communities always show a
keen interest on such occasions, frequent as
they arc. When an unfortunate miner has
been suddenly stricken from the ranks of the
living, labor is almost entirely suspended
until he has been decently put away, and
his burial is numerously attended by all
classes.

A STRANGE BIER--The other day we OBJ
served six Cinnamon carrying the dead body
of countryman suspended from two bam-
boo poles, the ends of which rested on their
shoulders, the defunct Celestial lying on a
piece of canvas between. With this burden
they trotted along towards Auburn, where
the body is to be inferred. John is strange
animal.

NEW YORK STATE ELECTION.

One who did not know that the New York
State Election was near at hand (to-morrow)
might be astOnished at the unprecedented dis
! play Of abuse which the democratic journals
are heaping upon eminent republican states
men, and the republicans generally, in these
days. For g bold and solid lying, for
shameless SANDER, not only without any found
alton whatever, but right in the face Of facts
as patent as the sun in a clear day, we think
they have excell3d themselves, this time. The
manifesto of the Fifth Avenoodle Committee
was relied on for a few days, as the great
agency for moving the waters throughout
tie tr1glodvts realm generally; but for
i.Ir thAt it would not d. the work
efectually-lor fear the people of the
State, who have known Senator Seward
for so many years. should not be touched
with that appeal, the Washington Constiiu
tuition comes to its help. Bombastes Furioso
could not hold ca0dle to Mr. Buchanan's
official blow-pipe. Just hear it keeping in
mind that Mr. Seward is now in Egypt, and
that all the pretended ground for such an
assault on him is the declaration OF Forbes,
a foreign adventurer, who rays he begged
some money last year from MIR. Seward to
help his family, and talked with him about
SoHlethin9-he does not say whIt--which
Mr.. Seward disapprored Of altogether
"He Seward sees in the near prospective
the curtain rise: he beholds all the acts Of
the dreadful drama he sees the conspirators
rushing upon their victims he witnesses !
the insurgent African banner superseding
the ilaL pl his country; he stands among the
fragm nts OF the constitution which he had !
sworn to support he beholds the insurgent !
negro horts rushing as in San Domingo, /

dripping in hum gore; a peaceful village,
where all, in unsuspecting confidence, retired /

amid ITS ashes. 1t is no imaginary dagger
that he sees before him it is no phantom
of the heat oppressed brain; it is no reverie
or dream of slumber but dread reality,
but too distinctly portrayed before hlm, and
he is silent and conceals the fact He min
gles every day with many of the intended
victims: ne sees their doom approaching,

hand for succor
Secretary Floyd had distinct forewarning
of Browns attempt, but ''raised no voice of
warningan no hand for succor. " The Con
sttution would do better to direct its rhodo-
montade to the Secretary Of War
But the real reliance Of the Democracy for
success in New York tomorrow is not on the
influence Of such troth and fume, but on the
! jaise roung in New York city. We look to
see at least ) goo fraudulent votes cast there
for the Democratic ticket.
