HARD TIMEs.-The Placer Courier, Doug
las paper published at Forest Hill, in Placer
county, utters the following lamentation, in
its issue of the 25th ult., anticipating an
inevitable material dissolution
eve have received, on two several oecas
ions, packages containing posters advertising
Democratic meetings to take place at Forest
Hill, with request to post up and notice in
our paper. Of course we have ceased to do
printing for the people, and entered into the
bill-posting business for our friends, who
desire to get up large Democratic demon
strations in Forest HILL Well, we are satis-
fed with the manner in which the Democra-
cy of Placer support THE paper which advo-
Gates the cause, and take this occasion to
inform the Democracy, that there is but one
reason why we do not leave the county, and
that is, that we cannot do so without passing
atoll-gate, and we have not the whewithal to
pay the toll. We also say to the Democracy
that as we are too id poor to get away
from the county, and the party cannot afford
to give us its patronage, or any part of it.
and it being a principle with us never to de-
sert our friends, and believing, as we do,
that the principles we have advocated during
the present campaign, are the best for the
administration of both our Federal and State
Governments, we will stick by the party, and
the principles until the ID knocks at the
door of our sanctum, or the Sheriff enters
and takes possession by virtue of writ
ordering him to seize,r etc.

THE JENNINGS QUARTZ LEAD-We had the
pleasure, last week, of visiting the newly
discovered and immensely rich quartz lead
of our former townsman, Mr.. o. Jennings,
located at the Allison Ranch, about two and
a half miles below Grass Valley. Mr.. J. but
recently purchased his interest there, and in
drifting for the continuation of the old lead,
track of which had been lost, the new one
was struck, crossing the path of the work
men at right-angles. Mr.. J. is now engaged
in the erection of a new mill, which will be
completed within the next fortnight His
machinery is already placed, and be expects
to commence crushing about the tenth inst.
The quartz of this new lead is burnt 1t
is unusually brittle, and in some instances
can be broken between the hands. The gold
permeates all its particles, and is frequently
perceptible in small specks to the naked
eye. Occasionally piece is found with a
cavity exhibiting crystals, surrounded by a
yellow earth similar in appearance to oxy-
died iron. In this respect it differs from
all other quartz taken out in that immediate
neighborhood, where there are quite q num-
Der of leads. The fortune of Mr. Jennings
is secured

SLY HIT.-C. T. Overton, Superintendent of
public schools for Nevada county, publishes a
circular in the Daily Transcript of Thursday, in
which he uses the following language:
ssFrom the sixteenth and thirty-sixth sections
of the public lands, the schools of the county
have no benefit and the aid formerly obtained
from exhibitions, feasts, balls and parties, owing
to the questionable nature of their influence on
the moral and mental training of youth, have
been abandoned to the churches, for the support
of the Ministry and spread of the gospel"

THE HEspERIAN.-The November number
of this popular California periodical is fully
up to its former reputation. Judge R. H.
Taylor, of Downieville, has contributed a
beautiful little poem entitled "Charning

aid, of the Evening Mirror, gives notes of
the "Ascent of Mount Shasta The number
before US contains other literary articles of
merit.

GRASS VALLEY.-Ths town ha made gigan-
tic strides in Improvement during the last six
years. One would hardly recognise it. The
forests have been leveled from its surround
ing hills, and substantial buildings taken
their place. These hills have also been
pierced in thousand places by the hand of
industry searching for gold Quartz is the
great predominating feature of the town and
adjoining country. We could not give the
figures, but there are number of mills
perhaps a dozen-within an area of three
miles, all in operation, and pouring weekly
food of wealth into the community. Some
Of the mills work thirty, some forty, and
others even as high as eighty hands-many
of whom are married men, with families, and
reside near the scene of their labors. The
tendency of this is, to scatter the houses,
and elongate the southwestern boundary of
the town; but it denotes thrift, permanency
and advancement in the history of the place.
cold Block" resides here, who has secured
an Immortality of fame by producing one
of the earliest and best California books
descriptive of emigrant troubles, the mines,
miners, and mining incidents. His intellect
is as vigorous, his eye as bright and his
heart as full of the emotions of human kind
ness as ever. Here also resides man less
known to fame, but equally entitled to its
distinctions. We allude to W. X. Spencer,
whose hospitality on more than one occasion
We have shared, and whose genial nature
makes him an ornament of the social circle
to which he is attached. With such pros
poets ana such citizens, who are not limited
to the gentlemen named Grass Valley is, or

PERsEcUTIoN.-Thank God-whom it is
the duty of all grateful hearts to adore
religious bigotry, intolerance, superstition
and persecution, are neither encouraged nor
tolerated by the enlightened institutions of
this country, nor its intelligent social opin-
ion! Neither Pope, Bishop nor Priest rules
the public mind. Those who really put faith
in the absurd dogma of human infallibilty,
are, as general thing, too ignorant to un-
derstand the meaning of the word, or too
much interested in the benefits arising from
a dissemination of the idle fiction. Read
what follows, and swear in your hearts to
oppose, heneeforth and forever, all forms of
fanaticism, religious, social or political,
which would compel man to act in contra
dction to his own ideas of right:
GA Polish Roman Catholic named Tokars-
XII, was married last year, near Zytomerz, to
Russian girl, a member of the National
Greek Church but the Greek ecclesiastic
who performed the ceremony, neglecting to
impose upon them the obligation of bring
ing up their children in the Greek Church.
their irst-born was baptized in the faith of
Rome-in consequence of which, Tokarski
has been arrested, the Greek ecclesiastic
degraded and forcibly enlisted as common
soldier in the army, and the Roman Catholic
priest-a monk, 20 years old-who officiated
at the baptism, has been banished to Siberia"

DUBUQUE IOWA,

January, 1860, in response to the
eighth regul. u toast, ''I'he Presi-
dent of. the [ uited states. "a.
Mr.. Presidei 1t, Ladies and Gentle

1t is a pardona bic weakness, if weak

and honor thei, Chief Magistrate.
Certainly, in no la. I'd upon which tae
sun sheds his rays, have tie citizens so
great reason to holo' in exalted esteem
their Chief Ruler, as we in the free Re
public of North Am erica. Chosen by
our own unconstraineo snffrages, in CON-
pliance with, and in obedience to, the
great charter of our liberties, emana-
ting as it did from the hands of our
fathers-from the hands Of those who
carved out for themselves and their chill
dren,. the rich and precious legacy Of a
Republican, gogcrnment,. it seems but
fitting that, at all proper times, and up
on all proper occasions, the people
should, with unreservedness, speak forth
a willing sentiment in behalf Of the
President Of the United States. '.s
And I thank the worthy gentleman
who originated the sentiments on this
occasion, for remembering the venerable
patriot who presides at the helm of our
National Government, in the toast which
he has repeated. thereby, in mea sure
repairing an error of omission of which
We were all guilty one year since. And
| only regret Mr.. President, that the
pleasing duty Of response to this senti-
ment, has not fallen to thelotcf one more
competent to do its subject that Justice
which he merits, than myself. If there
is one failing to which the Ameri-
can people are more prone than another
it is that ofhaving too much politics.
To such an extent have the grosser
qualities of politics carried US as nat
tion, that we have allbut come to regard
the occupant Of official station, eigh or,
low, as sort Of moral and political
hybrid-and generally the higher the
post filed, the worse is the incumbent
regarded. Hence, We too frequently
