These paints will stand any climate, with.

thus making in time an enamel of stone
protecting Wood from decay, and Iron and
other metals from rust and coroslon. They
differ, essentially, from the so-ca lied mineral
paints of the day which are, principally, O.

SIIver's Plastic Paints are Purely ME-.

They are evignted finely, mix readily with
Llnseed Oil, (without the trouble of grind.

PERILoUs PosITIoN.-Two men who were
blasting a shaft in the English claims at
Grizzly Hill, last Saturday evening, were
caught in a position of peculiar danger
They were at the bottom of the shaft, which
is sunk in hard rock about fifty feet, and had
just got ready to touch off blast by firing
the safety fuse. One of them took hold of
the rope depending from a windlass at the
top, for the purpose of climbing up in order
to haul up the other as soon as he should
fire the fuse. The rope parted near the wind
lass, and the men were helpless prisoners in
stone pit, at such a distance from any hab-
itation that they could not hope to make
their voices heard. Water began to sipe in
upon them from seams in the rock, and
gradually rose around them through the
night until it was eight feet deep. There
fortunately happened to be few projections
at the bottom of the shaft on which the men
stood in a very painful position and kept
their heads above water, or else they must,
of course, have been drowned. In this try
ing situation they remained until late on
Sunday morning, when other workmen came
to the diggings and discovered them.

OVERLAND MAlL-By badly constructed
sentence and typographical error together,
we were last week made to express pref
erence for the st. Louis and Memphis route
for a daily overland mail. Our choice, of
course, like that of almost every other CAL
ifornian, is for the most direct route prac-
ticable. We are glad to see that the de-
mand for daily mail will be earnestly
pressed upon Congress. The Post Office
Department is said to have notified contract
ors that the San Diego branch will be dis
continued. The Butterfeld route may be
Strengthened soon, to terminate at New Or
leans; and the Salt Lake route put up to
eighteen days.

that the reported quicksilver discovery at
Mount st. Helena is no humbug. He saw
specimens of the rock from which the pure

tanning this already retorted metal, is said
to extend several miles, but it has not been
thoroughly examined, nor does any one know
how deep the metaliterous secretionS pene-

DEATH OF MAcAULAY.-Thomas Babbing-
ton Macaulay, more recently Lord Macaulay,
known to all the world of readers as the
brilliant essayist, orator, poet and historian,
died December 2eth, of a heart disease
His loss at this particular time is a severe
one to literature, as he had not yet COM
pleted his original history of England. He
was man of immense learning, and splen-
did and fascinating yet philosophical writer,
whose antithetical style betrayed every
resource of rhetoric. His poems, consisting
mostly Of the "Lays of Ancient Rome," are
classical, nervous and dramatic, perfect
word-sculptures of the men aud deeds of
early Rome. His parliamentary speeches
rank with the best known.
Macaulays death adds another to the'long
list of brilliant victims whose demise will
make the year 1859 memorable through
many generations. Humboldt, Metternich,
Stephenson, Brunei, Hunt, Prescott, Irving,
DeQuincey, Macaulay-what list, and this

THE GREAT WELL OF SsoCKToN-Stock-
ton can boast of having the deepest artesian
well in the State, which is LOOP feet in
depth, and which throws out $50 gallons of
water per minute, $4,000 per hour, and &c.,
900 gallons every twenty-four hours, to the
height of eleven feet above the plain, and
nine feet above the city grade. In sinking
this well, ninety-six different strata of loan,
clay, mica, green sandstone, pebbles, &c
were passed through. Three hundred and
forty feet from the surface, redwood stump
was found, imbedded in sand from whence
a stream of water issued to the top. The
temperature of the water is ITO Fahrenheit
the atmosphere being only go. The cost
of this well was $1O,0 000.-Hutchings Aaga-

CoLD.-Mr. Hugh Logan, of Cherokee in
this county, has lately returned from the
silver regions of Utah, where he and Mr.. j.
P. Holmes have been all winter, erecting
machinery for crushing rock. We are told
that his accounts of the GOODNESS of the
climate are enough to make the hearer shiv-
err. Ice in the rivers was three feet thick,
and at one time the telegraph wires were
enveloped with it to the size of stove pipe!

SLUIcE RoBBER LYNcHED.-Late at night
on the Sd inst, Mr.. Barber, a watchman, OBJ
served man entering the "Buck Il Breck
claims, at Sweetland, and proceeding to the
tunnel with the evident intention of robbing
sluices. Mr.. Barber followed and overlook
him, and presenting double -barreled shot
gun at him, ordered him not to move or he
was a dead man. The fellow very coolly
asked him if he was tson the shoot" and
being satisfied that he was, surrendered at
discretion and walked in advance of his
captor to town. Late as 1t was, near mid
| night, a number of miners assembled and
organized themselves into court by choos-
ing jury of twelve men, who found the
man guilty of an attempt to rob sluices and
sentenced him to receive forty lashes on the
bare back with rawhide. A Communication
of the sentence was offered the man if he
would divulge the names of his confederates,
but he persisted in the assertion that he had
none, and received the whole forty lashes.-
The trial and 'hogging were not concluded
until after two o'clock in the morning. The
wretehis back was then washed and some
stimulus given him, after which he coolly
asked the barkeeper of the public house to
which he had been taken, if he hadn't a ci-
gar to give him. He was told to clear out
and never come about the place again.
We have always deprecated the use of the
lash, either by legal officers or popular ju-
ries, believing it to be not only vitiating in
its tendencies and inbumane, but absolutely
useless for heprecention ofcrime, which ought
to be the only aeotfgetor punishment. But in
this particular instance such unusual mode
ration was observed, and the crime of sluice
robbing is one so common, SO ruinous to the
honest laborer, and the sluice robber can so
seldom be caught or convicted, that we do
not feel disposed to comment with any Sc
verify upon the practice we have heretofore
opposed. We remain of the opinion, how
ever, that fogging does not lessen the num-
claim nowadays, knows that he is risking
his life by the actor every paying claim is
guarded by night watchman-and if the
fear of death will not deter him, fear of the
lash must prove much less potent. At any
time we would rather hear of the shooting
of robber right in his tracks, than of that
utterly useless cruelty which weakens the
sentiment of humanity in those who behold
it, violates laws formed by the people them
selves, and affixes stigma to the name Of
our entire State abroad.
The hydraulic press., 1860-02-11

writer in the Bulletin says that the citi-
zens of Nevada have invested in the Utah
silver mines about $4,000, and have re-
ceived back, on account of sales of but a
small portion of their shares, upwards of
$4,000. The folks at the county seat were
the first on this slope to learn of the great
discovery, and the Journal was the first news
paper to record it; consequently Nevada
reaped the first benefits. Many residents
from various parts of the county have al
ready made fortunes in Silverland, and will
enjoy them here. Many more have interests
in undeveloped leads which may hereafter
prove to be as good as the best known. The
Utah mines will do a great deal for our
county, and is very proper that we should
be the first to build a good transmontane
highway leading to them, as well as in con-
tributing to the new territory supply of
embryo statesmen!

TRUcKEE TURNPrKE.-A meeting of the
stockholders of the Truckee Turnpike Com
pany will be held In this place this afternoon
at half past two o'clock, at the Office of O..
P. Stidger Esq. A permanent organization
will be effected, the progress of preliminary
surveys reported, and action taken for the
immediate prosecution of the road. Since
the first formation of this company, the ev-
licences going to show the necessity and
practicabiIity of its proposed enterprise have
accumulated on every hand, and the public
interest in it has increased to such degree
that the capital stock of 100000 could be
doubled if it was absolutely necessary to
success There will doubtless be full
meeting.

MINERS VS.. RANcHMEN.-The Columbia
Times, in the course of some remarks upon
the conflict which is going on in its locality
between the mining and agricultural classes,
observes as follows:
"Owing to the abuses of the present sys-
tenn, good many miners have let this dis
trict, there being scarcely foot of ground
within twenty miles but what is claimed by
somebody; and every miner is not in po-
sition to give bonds for damages, and is
therefore compelled to go to other localities
where such abuses do not exist"
If the soil around Columbia pays better
for cultivation than for mining, as this par
agraph certainly indicates, we think the fact
is one to be rejoiced not grieYed over
Farms, gardens, orchards, vineyards and
pastures are worth more to people, in ev-
cry point of view, than poor gold diggings
which will not afford homeless men means
sufficient "te give bonds for damages"
