QUICKsrLyER-The New Almaden mine
~ again in successful operation since the
dissolution of the injunction upon it. Du-
ring the time it was closed the New Idra,
Guadalupe and Enriquita mines acquired
prominence in the market. and will hence
forth divide the business and cheapen the
product The Sonoma mines. near the Gey-
sers, are now being worked by new cor
poration. which is styled the "Geyser Quick
silver Mining Company" which is the re-
suit Of the consolidation of one hundred
and thirty-seven different individual inter.
ess on the lode; each interest being a
"claim" measuring $50 by 400 feet in ex-
tent, and all embracing nearly four miles
in length of what is thought TO be the best
part of the lode The mine will be syste
mAtically opened the coming summer. Sew
eral hundred pounds of the metal from it
have been extracted by cheap processes and
sent into market as a specimen. The cX-
tension aud profitable condition of the gold
quartz interest, as we'll as the extension Of
hydraulic mining, constantly increases the
home demand for quicksilver, so that the
new mines are likely TO do well.

DARING ROBBERY AND SHooTING.-On
Tuesday night last, gang of six robbers,
part Mexicans, others Americans, went to
an Italian store at Mount Ophir. The pro-
pretor of the house was out, and his wife,
who was attending to the business, was
seized and held by one, whilst another
searched the store. A Mexican near by
hearing the yells of the woman, ran to the
store; three Of the robbers were guarding
the door, and as the Mexican attempted TO
pass them, one stabbed him very severely.
The Mexican stepped back, drew pistol
and shot three times, when be fell. The
robbers then left. Next day they were
trailed by blood long distance, and it is
probable that one or more is badly wound
ed. The Mexican is in q critical condition.
Several outrages have recently been com
mitted by this gang. The officers are after
them, and it is to be hoped may soon either
arrest or kill them all.-[ [Mariposa Gaz.

Coon SOUND SENsE.-There are signs of
returning reason in some of the seeding
States. Judge Marvin, of Key Vest, writes
thus in the Tallahassee Floridian
But what ought the South to do in the
present state of things? | do not know.
My mind is clear as to what il ought not to
do. 1t ought not to get out from under the
protection of the present Constitution of the
United States until it can get under the
protection of a better one-one too. that
shall bind the North as thoroughly ms this
does. TO keep the peace-and il ought not
TO disobey the laws. The frying pan Is as
comfortable place as the fire, aud it may
be better to endure the evils we have than
to fly to others that we know not of. Bat
can we stay in the Union. where our rights
are denied, without dishouor? Perhaps
South Carolina cannot, for she threatened
to 60 out on the election of Lincoln. and IL
she did not do it her people would think
themselves dishonored
But what are our rights? Have we
agreed upon what they are? One is TO
have our negro property protected, by acts
of Congress in the Territories. Is not this
a new demand How long is it since the
whole South voted that Congress had no
right to legislate on the subject of sla-
very in the Territories But we say the
right is certain, under the Constitution, and
the North denies it. 1t is then disputed
demand or claim. Now, it appears to me
that there is no dishonor in letting il re-
main in dispute until there is some terrific
ry opened or acquired which the South NAV
wish to settle with negroes.

HoMCTDE.-The Sonora Democrat says
that on Friday afternoon a dreadful muir
der took place at the Placer Hotel. 1t ap-
pears that the steward of the house, an
Irshman named John Kenney made some
angry remarks about parties connected
with the establishment, which gave oifense
to l.. T. Baxter, late proprietor Of the hotel
and the latter commanded him to stop his
abuse. Upon bis repeating the offensive
language. Mr.. B. advanced upon him and a
brief scufile ensued. during which the stew
ard stabbed Mr.. Baxter to the heart. The
wounded man leaned for "A moment against
the counter, and then fell dead to the floor.
Kenney was arrested and lodged in Jail.
Mr.. Baxter for many years was an influen-
citizen Of Jamestown, where be leaves n
host Of friends to mourn his nntimely death.
In 1859, he was a member Of the Board of
Supervisors Of that county.

EXPLOSION AND Loss or LIFE.-We learn
from the North West that the boilers OF
Meigs' steam saw mill, at Port Madison, w.
T., exploded on the morning of the 2lst of
March, making a complete wreck Of the ma
cbinery and mill. and instantly killing five
persons, and seriously injuring one other.
The accident occurred at an hour when
there were but few persons employed had
it happened an hour later, no DOUBT twenty
others would have been killed. Cause Of
explosion, scarcity of water in the boilers.
There were six cylinder boilers, two OF
which were completely ruined. Those kill

NARROW ESCAPE or HON. JOHN Coyopp
FROM DEATu.-In Philadelphia, on the 7th
OF March, Hon. John Cohvode, M. c.. from
the WestmoreIaud District. of Pa. came
very near losing bis life through the accl-
dental discharge of one OF Sharp's rifles.
Mr.. Covode has two large rooms at the Av-
enue House, and large number of his per-
sonal friends were present there to conqrat-
ulate him upon the success of the Tariff bill
IN the passage Of which he has borne so
conspicuous part. One Of his friends a
distinguished member of Congress, from
pennsylvania. happened, by accident, to ex-
anime beautiful weapon o. war. ofSbarp's
invention; and, in making the experiment
OF trying the trigger, the rife went off. and
the ball pierced through the door of one
room, passing into the adjoining apartment.
and cutting its way through The rail OF the
bedstead upon which the honorable mem
Der was seated at the moment. The ball
passed within couple of inches Of bis per-
son. A dozen persons, at least, were in the
same room. aud, by the greatest good luck
in the world, nobody was hurt.

FORT SUMTER FIRED UPoN-Fort Sumter
has been fired upon, and Major Anderson
was ready to respond, when flag of truce
was sent from the Cummings Point battery,
with an assurance that ii was mistake.
The event is described as follows by a cor
respondent of the New York Times writing
from Charleston, March 9th:
1t seems that this morning, orders were
given at Forts Moultrie, johnson. and Nor.
rls to practice at long ranges, and the ship
ping were notified last night. Those who
were not posted up, were terrified this MORN
ing at the constant booming Of heavy guns.
AT about O'Clock, while the Colnmbiads
we're being fred at Maj. Stevens battery,
at Cummings Point she'll which had been
placed 10 it, accidentally (?) took effect on
that side of the Sumter wall which, have
before described as being ouly four feet
thick. Major Stevens. who was personally
10 command, observed at once with his
glass that an ugly cash had been made. he
heard the distant sound of the drum beat.
saw the port holes thrown open, and every
preparation made for return of the same
kind. He Immediately raised white flag.
hastened TO his boat and in person went
over to Major Anderson and made an am
pie apology.

Fosn PLANrs.-The great size of many
fossil plants, aud the vast accumulation Of
carbonaeeons matter found in the coal for.
nations, render it quite probable that the
vegetation during The early periods of the
earth was far more prolific than at the pres
ent time. Yet az the trees and shrubberv
were mostly Of the fern species destitute Of
flowers, and unenlivened by the presence of
verlebral animals, the landscape must have
presented very uniform aud solemn though
imposing appcarance-be suited 10 n
state Of preparation for the higher order Of
animal life than for their real existence:
better adapted TO prepare fuel for man than
for bis happy abode.
