THE Fourth OF JuLY-Yesterday the
sub committee Of the committee Of arrange
ments entrusted with the selection Of orator,
chaplain and reader reported that they had
conferred with Hon. Caleb B. Smith. who
promises 10 appear as the orator OF the day
and with Napoleon B. Taylor. Esq, who ha.
accepted an invitation te1dered him to read
! the Declaration of Independence. The &C
ceptance Of Rev T. ". Cunningham as
/ Chaplain has heretofore been noticed. The
selections for officers Of the day are now com
pate, and, so far as We have been able 70
learn, they give general satisfaction.
. The committee wish Us to state that they
have given no special invitations to any So
ciety or organization to appear in the pro-
eession. All are invited. and each society
hch cootemplates having distinctive rep
RESERVATION Is requested 10 report itself TO

The committee also extend general invi

the State, who will report their intention OF

Fourth. We have since learned that the
fremen of Richmond contemplate making
our city visit on that day. We will give
them cordial welcome The military and

to the success of the Richmond celebration
last year, and the Richmond people should
aid in our demonstration the present year.

Bay~ At the close of Gov. Wellerss speech
at Red Bluffs, on motion of E. Poorman, an old
dine Wing, his course in relation to the Shasta
county mob was endorsed by the audience with
three hearty cheers.
SO says a correspondent of the Democratic
Standard. E. Poorman was doubtless an "old
line Wing" in the days of Henry Clay, but did
not he subsequently become an ardent Know
Nothing? We have been informed that he has
been particularly earnest advocate of the
Know Nothing nominees We know that he is
even now an avOwed opponent of the Demo-
cracy. A short time since he accompanied 7.
j. Butler through portions OF this county for the
purpose OF securing for him the support of the
opposition element for Senator. We submit, in
view of these facts, that Mr.. Poorman was not
exactly the proper man to put any motion to a
Democratic meeting. In view of the fact that
Mr.. Poorman travelled with Mr. Butler in his trip
through Shasta, and assisted him in arranging
the preliminaries of the race, we are justified in
looking upon him as Mr.. Buffers "right-hand
man'-and as having indicated by the motion
referred to, the position which he Mr.. Butler)
desires the miners of this county to understand
him as occupying on the Chinese question. Mr..
Logan, the Democratic nominee, has stated his
position fairly and squarely, in his letter pub
tished in the Courier of last week
The Shasta courier., 1859-08-06

COPPER PITCHER Found UNDER GRoUND-The
Placerville Observer says that Mr. Robt. White,
of that town, has curious copper pitcher which
was recently found in the cement diggings of
Red Hill, in that county, by Mr.. James Patter-
son. This pitcher has about the shape and di-
mension of an ordinary gourd minus the neck
or handle, and is composed of sheet copper about
the sixteenth of an inch in thickness. The bot
tom of the vessel is round ball, and
neatly doye-taiied and hard soldered to the body
of the pitcher. Attached to the neck is han
die like that of a cream Jug This Saeer rrp
will hold about quart, and as it was found in
pile of cement which had been thrown from
pit twenty-five feet in depth, the supposition is
that it came from the bed rock. 1t will be OBJ
served that thepitcher was found in the cement
after the latter had been thrown from its natu-
raj position perhaps a long time after.
The Shasta courier., 1859-08-06

IHE CoRNFIELD OF CALIFORNIA Russian Riv-
er valley Is the great corn valley of the State,
and here we saw fields covered with the most
iuxuriant growth of it, which reminded us of
the valley of the Mississippi. Hitherto in our
ramoles we had scarcely seen Indian corn in
California, and it was like looking on the face
OF an old friend once more to see the tall and
graceful form of -Hondamua, (see Longfellow's s
" hiawatha with which we are SO familiar in
our western home. 1t is curious that in this
valley alone can this most valuable crop be
grown to advantage in Northern California. a
crop that Is worth more to the West than all the
goid mines of this State would be. Russian
hVer sailey is indeed all that it has been de-
ponderce of the Pacific.
The Shasta courier., 1859-08-06

How is Ir2-Many of the opposition papers
charge it upon Gwin that, after agreeing not to
interfere with Mr.. Broderick in the Federal ap-
pointments for this State, in the event that Mr..
B. would aid him in securing his election, he
violated his pledge and did interfere, and hence
Mr.. Brnderick did not get ofilce lor say OF his
friends. Now Mr.. Broderck, in his Weaverville
sgeech, expressly contradicts this charge. He
there said:
"Iwill take another time to prove to the peo-
pie of this State that if Federal patronage had
been my object could readily have secured my
highest desire. McKibben, who is
with me here tonight, and who will address you
after leave the stand, is the man who really
succeeded in obtaining the appointments of the
Federal Government. 1t actually was McKibben
who welded the influence securing the appoint
ments.'
Thus, we have Mr.. Broderick's word for it,
