JUDGE DOUGLAS ON J. Q. BREcnENRIDGE f.
We find the following in an exchange:
Judge Douglas, in Memphis, Tennessee,
last year. made speech, in which he alluded
to MIR. breckenridge as follows: II think the
South entitled to the next nomination, and
should like to see Mr.. Breckenridge obtain
it. He is popular with the party, believe
everywhere, and deservedly SO. He is an
able man, will make good President, and
with pride | name him as my friend"
Now Mr.. Douglas, in his speeches, occas,
sionally makes dsrespectful illusions to Mr..
Breckenridge, and charges his friends and
supporters with being disunonists and trait
ors to their country.

RIVER MINING NOT Contrary
to expectation, the rains of last week were
not sufficient to cause a cessation of mining
upon the rivers. On Saturday, fortunately,
the clouds broke away, and up to the pres
ent time there has been every appearance of
a season Of fine weather that NAV last into
the month Of Nomember.
The rise was sufficient to fill number OF
claims with water, thereby giving much
trouble in pumping out. But beside injury
of this character, and the breaking of two
fumes, (Which the owners have since taken
out for the season) we hear of no other SER
ious damage.
We hope our river miners Qhe men who
general y take the desperate chance on a
strike) have yet a profitable season before
them.

Save me from nv Friends.

l.. l.. Bullock, Douglas candidate for Sheriff
of this county an official who has been costly
quartered, las Under Sheriff and Sherff.) on the
Treasury of Placer county for nearly three years
and half has excellent reason for using the
above exclamation. Last week Mr.. Bullock was
so unfortunate as to have thirteen hardened, des-
perate rascals escape from the county Jail. over
which he is the guardian. We gave the details
of this escape so far as they could be learned.
simply remarkng in concl lusion, that from the
statements OF the remaining prisoners. that the
escapes had been at their work for several days
previous, that there appeared ito be want of
proper vigilance on the part of the officers"
There was nothing in this that would bear the
construction Of making political capital against
the nominee his name was not mentiOned-but
yet we find the Signal entering Immediately in
his defence: and begging charitable 0pinion
from the public. before the press or public had
censured him. Now We believe rs we'll as the
entire public, that the Escape of the prisoners
is source of great regret TO Mr.. Bullock and
his deputies. We also believe that they have
been generally careful in guarding the jail. But
we do not believe, from all the circumstances OF
the escape. they exercised as great vigilance as
they might have done; and the reason OF our be-
lief is that from the fact of the prisoners having
deposited mortar and stone from the wall under
their beds. they had been at their work for day
or more previous. and must have had tools to do
the work with-and consequently the officers did
not make rigid search of the prison evt,y day
or else the rubbish aud tools would have been
discovered.
We have neither tried nor wish to make politi-
cal capital out of the matter. People can draw
their own conclusions But the least the niudi-
cious friends of the Sheriff say about the matter
we opinc will be for the better.

lean out and asked him where the other sad
die was. pretending that he knew there had
been another one there. The Mexican told
him which house it was at Arriving near
the house Casad and Doebler saw the Mexi-
can leave the house and run Just then, q
citizen came along on horseback. Doebler
jumped on the citizens horse, by his leave,
and took after the Mexican. The latter ran
to point above the County Hospital and
climbed the fence. Doebler made his horse
jump the fence and pursued. The Mexican
turned then and fred. The Mexican soon
after escaped into the willows, across the
Slough, Doebler being unable to urge his
horse through. This ended Doebler's part OF
the job. Casad went back to the house last
named and there found Texan saddle, with
bride and spurs, and a piece of cloth with
