A PLEASANT TowN-Columbia presents
rather a pleasing appearance. Its popula-
ton is about 4,500. The city is surrounded
by low hills; midway on the slopes of these,
run bitches which carry water for mining
and irrigation through the entire summer
and autumn. Immediately below those
bitches are cottage residences, tastefuliy
constructed of wood, painted white, and
each surrounded by a beautiful garden slop-
ing toward the center of the town. Owing
to the abundant supply of water, fruit trees
have attained a growth quite astonishing
when compared with their age. These plea
SAINT, cozy suburban residences being the
first object that meets the strangers eye,
predispose the mind TO a favorable opinion

ADULTERATIoN OF QcIcKsrLvER-Several
miners at Cherokee and vicinity have dis
covered that much of the quicksilver pur-
chased by them is largely aduterated with
lead, and unfit to use in sluices until after
being retorted. In q number of TASKS which
have been retorted as much as fifteen, twenty
and twenty-five pounds of lead has been
found We have before heard complaints
of the impurity of some of the quicksilver
sold in this county, but the facts above
stated reveal an extent of sophistication that
could hardly have been suspected. Whether
this disgraceful fraud is elsewhere practiced
and by whom it is perpetrated we cannot
tell. 1t has been suggested at Cherokee to
call miners meeting, and urge upon the
Legislature the passage of law calculated
to prevent future adulteration. If the own
ers of the various mines are innocent in the
premises, as we have no doubt they are, it
is due to themselves and their patrons the
miners, that they should confine the sale of
quicksilver to respectable agents, say one in
each locality. The establishment of regular
agencies would be more effectual as pre-
yentive of fraud than the most stringent leg
islation, which could not detect offenders.

UNGENERoUs.-The Weller Democrats of
Tehama held an indignation meeting over
the election of Latham, and resolved that il
was "a gross violation of public confidence,
an outrage upon the people" Noticing this,
the Standard scouts at the idea of the ex-
Governor being popular favorite, and says:
The Ex-Governor is worthy gentleman,
of great amiability, who has a few ardent,
and we will add, very imprudent friends
They have talked the matter over among
themselves, as maiden ladies sometimes do
over ii tea table, until they have actually
satisfied themselves that Col Weller is the
darling of the people of California;; that the
men are shouting for Weller; that the wo-
men are signing for him, and that the babies
are all crying fer him. This is an amiable
weakness, but it is great error. The peo-
pie of California are, we are sorry to say,
too much absorbed in the daily business of
life TO care halfas much as they ought, either
about the character of their legislation or of
their representatives.

ANOTHER SILVER EXCITEMENT --Napa county
has recently been, and may yet be, in per-
feet fever of excitement about the silver
mines supposed to have been discovered
near Mount St. Helens, twenty-five miles
from Napa City. The peaceful agriculturists
dropped their implements of husbandry and
left their plows on the field, to rush after tho
argentiferous charmer, till more than thou
sand persons were on the mountain pros1
pecting. The Napa Reporter gives the fol-
lowing as all that is definitely known about
the new mines:
"That there is Silrcr in the ST. Helens Mt.
is .fxed fact, determined 6y accurate analysis
OF some of the ore discovered. One speci-
men gave $50 to the ton, and another $75,
with considerable percentage of gold mixed
with the silver. The certificate to this effect
bears the signature of the Assayer of the U.
3. Mint, so there can be no mistake about it.
The specimens assave6 are from the surface
OF the rock, and that the ore will prove
richer below is to be expected. Whether the
ore already discovered is rich enough to nav
for working, we are not able to ascertain.
Some say not. Others think that it can be
reduced for $40 per ton. All is uncertainty,
and must remain so, until further explora-
tlons and analyses on more extensive scale
shall have been made by competent partiesn
A correspondent of the Reporter, who has
been out prospecting, thus burlesqdes the ex-
element:
"We hadn't dug more'n foot before we
struck the rale stuff itself, which we pro-
nonnced cylyur ore. We bilt fire and
melted some of it, and found that every Guns
OF ore contained too ounces of cylvur. We
annylized it very carefully in sardine box.
and found that all that wasn't cylvur was
ockshyde of puter mixed with bisulphuret
of saltpeter, which is highly valuble The
richness of the oar is rally surprisin, and
am led to think it will coin itself, for found
a two bit peas in the linen Of my jacket the
day after | arrove, and | will take my Bible
oath that | hadn't had such thing in sicks
munths. After gettin down about 40 feet
IN the solid oar, we struck a vane of goald
which was about feet thick, and extending
to an unnoan distance.

ages, which, in the shape of coal, had been

TURNPIKEs. the Grass Valley Na-
tional we learn that a turnpike company has
been formed for the purpose of connecting
Grass Valley, as well as Illinoistown and
Yankee Jims with Gold Hill, to which point
the Eastern Extension railroad is expected
to be completed by the first of April The
turnpike is already under way, and by the
time the railroad is open for trade will be
completed to Bear river. The stages will
then be Withdrawn from Folsom and connect
at Gold Hill, and travellers can go from Grass
Valley to Sacramento, spend few hours in
the latter place, and return in the same day.
According to the Iowa Hill Patriot another
turnpike is to be built from that place across
the North Fork of the American, and thence
to Nevada, connecting with the Illinoistown
and Dutch Flat road.

Rev. J. A. Benton in one of his interesting
Asiatic letters to the Sacramento Union,
says that the attempts made to clear away
the jungle and bring the virgin lands under
cultivation on the island of Singapore, cost
the lives of three or four hundred Chinese
lahorers every year. who fall sacrifice to
tigers. The island is small, being only ff-
teen by twenty-five miles, but the tigers are
very numerous in the interior, and bounty
of 800 for each one killed fails to secure
their determination.

NEVADA COUNTY STATISTICS.

A knowledge, gained by personal observa-
ton, of the progress making by our county
/ in the direction of permanent prosperity, led
us to believe that the Assessors report for
1859 woald embody mass of most encour-
aging statistics In this belief we awaited
the appearance of the report with some i'm
patience. Having failed to secure copy of
it for publication in the PRESS, and not see
ing it in any other county paper, we next
looked for it in the all-containing Union. At
last that journal presented an abstract Of
dozen lines, which we here copy:
Acres cultivated, 6,957; acres wheat, 957 ::
bushels wheat, 23,9l5; acres barley, 2,70D:
bushels, $500; acres potatoes, 5000; bush
els, 100, 900; apple trees, $4,000; peach trees,
10000; pear trees, 1000; acres strawberry
vines, IL; grape vines, 10000; total number
of cattle, 3,724; sheep, 965; grist mills, 2;
saw mills, Al; lumber sawed, 40, 600 600 feet;
quartz mills, 80; value, ,$l2l 900; tons quartz
crushed, 10000 value of mining bitches,
$9S5,S00; miles in length, 727; total value of
real estate, So, ,62S, ,445; total value of person.
al property, $l,ol4,5oo.
Some of these statistics would be most
discouragng, if We could rely upon their
correctness. The universal interest felt and
exhibited in regard to the agricultural ca
pacities of the county, warranted belief
that much greater amount of land was en-
closed and under cultivation than ever be-
fore. The number of acres cultivated in
1858, according to the Assessors report for
that year, was $4,000; this year, as will be
seen above, the number is less by more than
three-fourths. Can this possibly be correct?
If it is, the fact is unaccountable and dis
heartening. There is corresponding de-
crease in the reported yields of grain and
vegetables. Last year the products were
$4,000 bushels of wheat, from 1900 acres:
100000 bushels of barley from $500 acres;
$4,000 bushels of oats, from 400 acres; and
the number of acres devoted to the cultiva.
tion of vegetables was 10000. In the
number ofapple trees we observe an increase
over 1858 of 10000; but how the peach trees
can have dwindled from 10000 to 10000,
passes our comprehension. There is also
reported considerable increase in the num-
Der Of grape vines-from 5000 to 60,000-
The number ofsheep has more than doubled
while the number of other live stock is about
the same. In the matter of grist mills, saw
mills and quartz mills, there is very slight
difference in favor Of 1859. The aggregate
length of mining bitches in the county has
been increased from 696 miles to 727; and
the value of the same is made greater by
$50, 100. The assessed value of taxable prop
erty in 1853 was S4,30l, ,993; this year it is
$4, ,642 :945; showing an increase o $340, ,952.
According to statistics published in the Press
last May, and procured from Deputy Asses
sor Henderson, nearly one-third of this in
crease must be credited to Bridgeport Town
ship.

GRowING HARD WooD.-Gov. Black of Ne
braska, alludes to the lack of timber on the
prairies of that territory ,and recommends an
indirect bounty to induce settlers to plant
and cultivate such trees as walnut, black To-
Gust ash, maple and hickory, which are
known to grow there rapidly. He is in IA
vor of exempting from taxation, for speci-
fed period, portion of the land of every
settler who will engage in growing timber
The recommendation is not a bad one fol
California, where hard wood may be grown
to great advantage, and very easily, as we
have heretofore argued.

OVERLAND MAI-We have observed lately
that many people still act as if there were
no overland mail to be fostered. They wait
for the steamers, as of old, and send all their
letters by the ocean mail; yet they are in fa-
vor of Pacific railway and telegraph across
the continent! If every correspondent in
California would send his letters by the over
land MALL and direct his friends to reply by
the same medium, the aggregate determina-
tion of public opinion in favor of that enter
prise, thus exhibited, would prove the most
powerful argument that could be adduced,
and go further with Congress and the Post
Master General than all the editorials of all
the papers and all the speeches of all our
Congressman. Senator Latham will un-
doubtedly urge the establishment of daily
mail across the continent and if he can say
his constituents universally express desire
for it by patronizing the present overland
mail, his efforts will not prove frait.ess. Let
the people help themselves.
Since writing the above we learn that the
Post Office Department, by special order,
has made the overland mail the rule and
that by ocean the exception. All letter mail
matter will be hereafter sent across the CONT
nent, unless differently ordered by the writ
ers on the face of the letter or otherwise
This is great step in the right direction.
