PRosoRIPTIoN.- Jacob f. Haehlen and Larry
Sellinger, the former holding the position OF
laborer and the latter that of bargeman in the
San Francisco Custom House, were discharged
last week on suspicion of being in favor Of the
regular Democratic omnees-Douglas ana
johnson. They had been receiving seventy-Gye
dollars month as wages. The NatiOn, refer
ring to their removal, says .,.....,
1t seems to us they might ''let up" on all po-
sitions worth under 800; but of course this ia
q mere suggestion. Tie party is pretty hard
run, aud perhaps no "meandering" should be
tolerated, nor any man retained in even the
most insignificant Office who is known to have
Democratic tendencies

MT Ono DrsrMor.- Yorty, one of the
owners in tho company that first struck the
gravel lead in the MI Orc District, called al
our Office last Saturday, and showed us some
specimens from their diggings. This company
struck the lead somo weeks ago, but have con
tlnued the running Of their tunnel, aud as YET
have taken out but little gravel. The gravel
prospects well, and the claims bid fair to pay
handsomely when fairly opened. The Black
Hawk, Flying Cloud, Pony Express, and Doc
lIttle companies, whose claims are located on
the same ridge, are pushing ahead their tun'
nels, and some Of them are confident that they
will strike the lead in the course of O month OF
six weeks The Black. Hawk company are In q
hundred and twenty feet, and are making from
two to three feet day. The slate rock, through
which She tunnels are run, is eoft, requiring
but little blasting.

OPPOSED TO GwIN.-L Latham made speech
at Sacramento last Saturday evening, and an
nounced his eternal and everlasting opposition
to Gwin. This announcement is consistent with
Latham's character-talking one thing and
acting another. He processes everlasting hos
tility to Gwin, and at the same time is sup
porting party, which, if successful in this
State, will surely re-elect Gwln to the U. s.
Senate. With equal consistency, he might pro-
TESS to oppose the election of Breckenridge, and
at the same time support the Breckenridge
Electors. ge aa @1sfis'N At
