four times elected to Congress, and never through
any division in the Democratic ranks. 1t is no;
less true that he also once beat Mr.. Leake, and
orercame Gov. Gilmer, who was only elected by
twenty votes-and that through the management Of

Arrival of the Central Overland MaiI--
Matters in Salt Lake and Carson VAL

GENOA, May 11th.
The Central Overland Mail arrived this
morning at 9:3O-eight days one hour and
half from Salt Lake
The Valley Tan, of April 26th, publishes a
letter from Mariposa, Cal, giving the circum
stances connected with the murder of Thos
and John Aiken and J. Jones, and three other
men who left Mariposa county in the Fall of
81, and Joined the Mormon train which left
Carson Valley at that time.
Circumstances go to show that they were
murdered 10y Mormon authorities, in the
vicinity Of Salt Lake City.
All the Eastern mails due at Salt Lake had
arrived
Webber Valley was flooded from overflow
of the river.
The mails had to be packed over the hills
with great difficulty and hardship to the ami.
mails and men. The snow was so deep that
frequently the mules would sink out of sight
packs and all, and the men became snow
blind. The mail party was relieved by Mr.
Dobson, Agent at Salt Lake, who was out
breaking the trail from this side
The trail is now open and no further de.
tention is apprehended.
The last California mail arrived five days
inside of schedule time. Peace and order
reigned at Provo.
Capt. George II. Paige, assistant Quarter
master U. S. Army, died at Camp Floyd, on
the 18th of April He was buried with full
military honors. 1t was the largest funeral
which has ever taken place in the Territory.
On the 2lst of April, one company of dra-
goous and two of infantry, under command
of Capt Campbell, of second dragons, went
to meet Paymaster Maj. Prince at Santa
Clara.
Two men who gave their names as Thos.
Pinder and Ernest Chandet, were arrested at
Salt Lake for stealing government animals.
Very large stocks of merchandise are arri.
wing at Salt Lake. Cheap goods are antici.
pated. The weather was very warm and
pleasant in that locality.
Water is plenty and the pros poets most
flattering. Gold assaying $lS25 to the
ounce, is being found.
Several parties passed through this place
for Gold Canon, yesterday with wagon and
pack animals loaded with provisions and mi
ming tools for Walkers River Diggings. The
most fattering accounts continue to arrive.

LA PORTE, May 9th, 1859.

LA FoRrE, may YIN, 1909.
EDITOR NATIONAL DEMocRAT:-The good
citizens of this place have determined to have
a celebration of the SD anniversary of our
glorious Independence.
Pusuant to previous notice. on Saturday
evening, 18th inst, at o'clock, large and
respectable audience assembled at the Union
Hotel, about 200 in number, to take into con.
sideration the most appropriate way and
manner of celebrating, and to appoint COM
mittees of arrangements, and special commit
tees to select an orator for the occasion, and
to complete the whole arrangement.
The Hon. James A. johnson was called to
the Chair, and G. w. Shuts, Esqr., appointed
Secretary.
a motion was then made to appoint a com.
mittee of arrangements to be composed of
the following gentlemen, to-wit: F. D. Everts,
T. Power, A. J. Quigley, and DR.. G. s VOL
ley, La Porte; c. Ridder Warren Hill J. r.
Porter, J. S. Crouch Secret Dggings; Frank
Cooper, Port Wine; Capt Buckett, R. Wash,
Gibsonville; NJ. Tranor, D. F. Berry, ]. St.
C. Wilson, St. Louis N. Stabler, T. J. White
Pine Grove
A motion was then made by Capt. Hay
ward, to appoint committee of three to con
fer with the Hon. Moses Fitzpatrick, and in
vite him to deliver an Grafton in La Porte,
on the 4th day of July, which was unani
mously adopted.
The following gentlemen were appointed
on said committee: Capt Creed Hayward, w.
S. Byrne, and Peter Qumneman.
The meeting then adjourned in the best
of feeling and confident of having glorious
time on the Fourth.
The weather still remains uncomonly cold
so much so that water is quite scarce again
in these parts, and but little gold dust in the
market. The consequence is, that business
of every kind still remains dull, in compari-
son to what it usually is at this season of the
year. The snow goes off slowly, although
the sun shines warm and is quite pleasant
through the day, the freezing is so great at
night, that it dries the water up full as fast
as it makes during the day.
Politics, owing.to the dulness of the times,
is about at a standstill, except some specula-
tions as to what will be the result in
the state election if there is three sets of can
didates in the field

FROM CARSON VALLEY.-A late number of
the Carson Valley Enterprise, contains the
following items
The miners are represented TO be making
big wages at Gold Canyon The new dig
gings, three miles from John Town, are pay.
ing from $40 to $50 per rocker, and as an ev-
idence of their prosperity, they hold their
claims at from $4,000 to $4,000 per share
Could a ditch be brought into the mines, it
would be better diggings than California ever
saw in her palmiest days A party of miners
have started out to prospect Tor a continual
ton of the lead, it being their opinion that
it is extensive and easily found.
The intelligence from the mines on Wal
ker's river is very encouraging. hegold on
the river is of the character generally de-
nominated as fine gold, but easy to save in
consequence of the particles being of a round
formation.
The west branch of the river is very high.
Ducks and geese ere making their appearance
in great numbers, and the miners are antici-
pating long feast on fowl and eggs.
In Mono Lake, about miles distant from
the Mines there is an island on which water
fowl of numerous descriptions deposit their
eggs in vast numbers, similar to the manner
the eggs are found on the Faralone Islands,
near San Francisco. The miners have rugged
a canvass boat in which to visit the island to
gather eggs
The diggings have been name "Farwell
Camp, in honor of a merchant named Far
well who furnished supplies to a number of
destitute miners during the winter.
The Indians of Mono Lake have elected
Indian Charley captain of the tribe. and a
number of the Indians are working for the
miners
