HEREsY.--That was a convenient word
once, when despotsm condescended to seek
an excuse for the cremation of its victims {;
but how does it sound from the lips of an
American editor? We ask the STANDARD,
which paper, in noticing the new Marysville
daily, says ats editorials are pointed and
fresh, and tolcrably free from heresies for an
independent paper" Desiring enlighten-
ment, we further ask-what are the cher
estes" alluded to, and is there an orthodox
standard of opinion in politics? If indepen-
dence and heresy are inseparable in the
newspaper world, what on earth is ortho-
doxy? and is it not time hcresy and ortho-
doxy changed places? We pause as Antony
did.

NEVADA RAILROAD SuRvEY.-From the
Democrat we learn that up to Saturday even
ing the line of the preliminary survey for the
Auburn and Nevada railway had been run
to point mile or so beyond Bear river
which is fifteen miles distant, or little
more than half way. Thus far the survey
ors, Messrs. Elliott and Ostrom, had met
with no serious obstacle. The altitude of
Nevada above Auburn is about 100 feet,
and they had descended 625 feet at the
crossing of Bear river, and it is believed
that the road can be constructed on very
near a uniform grade. Below Grass Valley.
the line has been run to the right of the
Auburn road and crosses Bear river between
lllinoistown and Porter's crossing. AT the
point where the surveyed line crosses the
river, bridge will have to be built about
200 feet in height and from 500 to 900 feet
in length, should the road be constructed on
that line; but it is thought more eligible
point for crossing can be found either above
or below. The line runs mostly through
dense pine forests valuable for their lumber,
and is said to cross two extensive iron mines
one regular iron mountain in which the
metal is reported to be nearly pure. The
Democrat gives no further information con-
corning these iron beds. If they really ex-
ist the fact is immensely important, not only
to the prospects of the road but to the in
terests Of the whole State Should any of
the various coal discoveries that have been
made in the mining counties amount to any
thing extensive, these iron beds would be-
come most prolific sources of wealth, and
wealth of a permanent home-abiding char
acter. Several years ago it was announced
that an Auburn blacksmith was manufac-
turing native iron which he procured a few
miles from that town. The matter is wor-
thy special investigation.

A GENIAL SEAsoN.-Despite the heavy and
long protracted rain storm which ushered in
the present winter, it has been one of great
mildness, contrasting delightfully."- with the
extreme rigors of the climate on the eastern
slope. Even the storm alluded to was not a
cold and clustering enc, but merely an in
cessaat drench of warm water. In the high
mountain regions the snow is not near so
deep as it was year ago. where it was then
from four to FIVE feet deep it does not now
cover the earth more than ten or twelve
inches, and instead of accumulating with
each fall soon thaws and runs laughing into
the miners s1uices. Above the line where
begins the true snow region, where the white
drifts lie all winter, the season is much
colder, and mining operations, except those
conducted under ground, are entirely
checked. In the region lying between this
and the foothills snow seldom falls but in
furries, or brief storms, the number Of clear
days is greater, and outdoor labor is scarcely
ever stopped. In this intermediate region,
farmers and gardeners are now preparing
the soil for grains, fruits and vegetables,
and the forceful pipe of the hydraulic miner
is playing against walls of moistened earth,
which dissolve away like snow banks In
the foothills the season is still mlder The
rolling mounds are clad in bright green,
buds on trees and bush are swelling, and ev-
cry bough is preparing to "repeat the mira
Gle of Aaron's rod" Elsewhere than in
musty, but here it is constant source of
inspiration, and stupid indeed must be the
human being whose heart does not open to
it every day like a flower.

INDIAN WARFARE-While such industrious
attempts are being made to "rake" the State
treasury to defray the expense of slaughter
ing few hundred half-starved Root Diggers
and their families, who have been driven
from the streams and oak woods where they
used to fish and gather acorns, it is we'll to
see how the noble white race can fight In
dians without State aid The Northern Cal-
lfoanian is informed that three whites "came
across three Indians, recently, on Yager
Creek, Humboldt county, "and made an at
tack upon them. The Indians showed fight
but were at last killed" In the fight one of
the whites was wounded in the hand Nu-
merically the two forces in this "battle"
were equal, which is more than can be said
of any other Indian fight we ever heard Of
in the State. There is no crime charged
against the miserable aborigines of Hum
boldt and Mendocino but stock stealing, and
if they can be indiscrimnately slain for that
on what principle are people prohibited
Staying white thieves in the same way p
What is it that makes killing right in the
one case and wrong in the other? The hu-
manity of the government ought to be of
higher standard than that of the passionate
multitude, and it ought to interpose some
less barbarous and costly method than ex-
termination for the prevention of cattle
stealing by hungry Indians. Corral them
and feed them, DO not butcher them. They
will die fast enough of themselves.

Judge McAllister's refusal to dissolve the
injunction restraining the working of the
Almaden quicksilver mine, during pendency
of suit to try title, very naturally excited
much Indignation at San Jose and vicinity
The stoppage of works which expended in
that section at least $4,000 per annum,
has proved most disastrous. 1t seems strange
that the working of the mine could not be
allowed to 90 on under the charge of re-
ceiver appointed by the court The matter
has been brought up in the Legislature by
the introduction of memorial requesting
the Administration to dismiss the injunc-
tion.

told him the Capital could boast of such a
monument to science already, and took him

end of which he clapped his hat. The Sem

was felt. His zeal was thoroughly yenti-

Senator Ballou has introduced bill pro-
riding for the sale of the sixteenth and thir-
ty-sixth sections of land donated to the State,
for school purposes, and to apply the pro-
ceeds ofthe sale thereof to the general school
fund. We are indebted for a copy of the bill.
to Hon. S. H. Chase, but have not had time
to give it more than single hasty reading
We believe, however, it is sufficient to effect
the end desired by the friends of education
and that is the consolidation of all school
moneys received from the sale of land into
one fund, and the uniform apportionment of
the interest upon the same, as of that de-
rived of the existing fund. The township
system from division never had our approval,
for reasons heretofore given, and we hope
that Mr. Ballou's bill, or one having the same
aim, may becomes law.

PAINE's BIRTHDAY.-To morrow will be
the one hundred and twenty-fourth anniver-
sary of the birth of Thomas Paine, the i'm
mortal author of "Common Sense" and the
"Crisis," who first prepared Americans for
the idea of independence and fired them
with a determination to realize it, whose
convincing pamphlets were sold by the hun
dred thousand and read by the camp fires
of the revolutionary army. Because he was
q Deist and attacked revealed religion. which
he honestly thought q sham, theological ha-
tired and vill6cation have degraded his men,
ory in the popular estimation, and sought to
drive him from the position he occupied
among the true patriots and fathers of our
nation. The good he did was inferred with
him: the evil alone has been remembered.
But the day is coming when the man who
took prominent part in the two greatest
revolutions the world ever knew, and who
enjoyed the confidence of Franklin, Jeffer-
son and Washington, will be honored as he
deserved, and as he is honored now by every
American whose bigotry is not greater than
his patriotism.

CODA valuable historical sketch of the
progress of mining and metallurgy, is con-
tributed to the 4Ha by A. P. Molitor, the
well known assayer. The AHa is n great
newspaper, and publishes large amount of
original matter bearing upon the physical
peculiarities and material interests of our
State The article alluded to above states
that the amount of gold in the possession of
men before the discoveries of gold in Cali
fornia and Australia, was estimated at six
hundred and eighty two millions of pounds,
and this amount is being rapidly increased.
Yet no revolutionary effect on financial
matters need be feared, for, "vast as is the
whole amount of gold in the world it sinks
into insigni6cance when contrasted with the
aggregate product of other branches of hu
man industry. If they increase as fast as
the gold, little or no alteration will take
place in its value, which depends on the re-
lation between it and the annual production
of other wealth."
