Legislative,

On the 9th inst, Mr.. Conness flor Mr.. Har-
ris) introduced into the Assembly. an Act,
concerning the Salaries and Compensation Of
certain County Officers, which Bill was refer
red to the Butte delegation, consisting of Mr..
Harris aone-Dr. Tilden having resigned.
This bll-if we understand it right-has
been prepared for the purpose of curtailing
the expenses of the county, by making some of
the officers salaried we can see no good reason
for any discrimination if you touch one, treat
them all alike. 1t also is said to propose the
condensation of offices, merging that Of Col
lector into the Treasurer's and Sheriff g, with
out providing salary for the Sheriff 8 office.
right where it is, and will be, most needed and
felt by the people. As we are in the dark
about the minutia of the bill-never having
seen tive cannot comment upon 1t as we
otherwise might do, but we call the attention
of our Legislative delegation to the matter,
and ask them to see that no distinctions are
made. in regard to the Offices let them all be
salaried, or all remain as they are, with the
fees reduced, which undoubtedly would be the
better plan. But do not allow bill, Of i'm
portance to your county, to be passed fer the
benefit of any political aspirant to some office
purposely excluded from the general operation
and intention Of the bill to deal equally with
all the offices. If any Office has been studious-
ly left out, insert it in the bill make them all
fish, or all hesh-no discrimination is required,
and none should be allowed We would like
to see the bill printed

A NAN STABBED BY HIS BRoTHER.-The
Nevada Transcript learns that an affray oc-
CURED between two brothers, named John and
Alexander Robbins, at Massachusetts Hill,
near Grass Valley, on the 4th instant. Alex
ander, in company with a friend, went to the
cabin occupied by his brother John and man
named Frazier, for the purpose of borrowing
five dollars from the latter. Frazier refused to
loan Alexander the money, whereupon words
passed between them, and Frazier ordered
Alexander and his friend away. Upon their
refusing to leave, Frazier attempted to put
them out, but being unable to do so, John
Robbins, who was in bed, got up, and, after
an unsuccessful attempt to put him out, went
back to his bed and Immediately returned With
a knife in his right hand, pushed his brother
out of doors with his left, and, at the same
time, stabbing him in the right side, between
the true and false rib, the knife penetrating
the lung. The wound is severe and may prove
dangerous. A feud of some two years standing
had existed between them. John was arrested
and admitted to bail in the sum of $4,000

A SAVAGE THwARrED- About week since,
says the San Andreas Independent, an Indian
whose tribe was encamped on the Calaveras,
got into quarrel with squaw, who had had
fight with his squaw, and cut squaw number
one with a butcher-knife, nearly taking off one
of her fingers. He then gave out that he
meant to kill her, and watched his chance to
put his threat into execution. The squaw
complained to Captain Charley, whose head
quarters are near Schrack's ranch. Captain
Charley's men came over to have muss with
the blood-thirsty savage; but the authorities
being informed of the matter, interposed and
kept the belligrants from having fight. Last
Wednesday five or six mounted warriors came
to this place and after some diplomacy, fixed
up a treaty of peace, in which they mutually
bound themselves for the good behavior of the
bellcose fellow who wanted to slay the squaw,
and whose christian cognomen is Anastasia
Mars-blast him.

Rich DIGGINGs.-New hill diggings, paying
an ounce day to the hand, have been recent
ly struck OF the North Fork Of Feather River,
near Mosquito Creek. The miners are now
engaged in cutting ditch two miles long,
from Musquito Creek, which, when completed,
will furnish water sufficient for the use of ten
companies. 1t is represented that the claims
are of sufficient richness to pay fifty dollars a
day to the hand, could the ground be easily
worked, and the ordinary mining facilities
applied.

RAILRoAD.-The contractors on the Rail-
road are pushing forward the work of grading
with will. The workmen are now ercamped
at Roses ranch, about five miles below town,
and have completed the grading nearly to that
place. They expect to reach the deep cut in
the hill back of Wallace's ranch, sometime
next week, and also, to remove their camp to
the vicinity of the latter place. We shall en-
deavor to visit their works during the coming
week, when we hope to be able to give more
explicit account of their progress.

MAJOR ANDERSON DEALING WITH A TRAIroR
Major Anderson's loyalty to the Union having
been impugued, single fact may 90 far to
illustrate it, and also his promptitude in dc al.
ing with traitors
There is an Irish rufian who loafs upon the
Charleston wbarves who has, as an irronical
tribute to his extreme ugliness, been dubbed
{" Handsame Charlie" The brother-in-law of
Charlie was a soldier attached to the garrison
at Fort Sumpter, and was often sent by Major
Anderson with others, for provisions. These
two villains, brothers in crime as we'll as 10
" law had, it seems, been plotting treason IN
connection with their betters agants the Gov
ernment of the United States. One of their
plans was to smuggle in files for the purpose OF
spiking the guns on Fort Sumpter. How they
expected to accomplish this rascality is ano-
ther question but certain it is that they we're
introduced into the fortress, concealed in loaves
of bread. The files and the traitor were both
discovered. A messenger was dispatched to
Charleston for priest The cause assigned
for requiring his presence was the premature
confinement and consequent danger of a SOL
der's wife. The real need for him was to
shrive dastardy wretch for the next world,
who was utterly unfit to live in this. The
brotber-ip-law to " Handsome Charlie" was
shot-a fitting doom for traitor.

ssg~ The following extract is from private
letter received by resident Of this town from
former resident of this place, now in San
Francisco, of foreign birth, both Democrats of
the non-intervention stripe. 1t has the right
ring" and, undoubtedly, reflects the senti-
ments of the naturalized citizens in this coun-
try. The compromises referred to are,
concerning union of political parties in the
next campaign:
Now, John, as regards political matters, |
have only this to say at present, that no COM
promises can, nor ought to be made, with those
South or North whose only object seems to
be, to destroy the political rights Of the people,
and who have no other designs than the de-
struction of our glorious country, and under
the cry of peace they will rally and, if
sustained, will separate the slave States from
the free, and bring the American people and
Government into contempt and disgrace before
the world The Brecks have spoken, and
everybody is considered to be a good Demo
crat, who is opposed to any and all attempts
by the Government to enforce its laws, under
any and all circumstances. If that should
be accepted as a compromise by our Central
Committee, now in session, | will be-as well
as all citizens who have sworn to maintain the
Constitution compelled to leave them, and
rally under the banner (which is in accordance
with my sworn duty to my adopted country
which will have inscribed on it, the supremacy
Of the Federal Constitution over all the States,
the keeping Of the country intact and the
American people must be kept together
peaceably, if we can +; but forcibly, if we must.
| am ready to do my duty and share of fight
ing, for the welfare of my country, all the time.

Editor Butte Record:
Thinking few lines from these diggins
would be acceptable to your readers, | shall
endeavor to furnish you with them.
This creek, from its head to Indian Valley,
is nine miles long, and there is gold the whole
distance. l believe the diggings were first
struck in sc, but was soon abandoned, without
much prospecting beng done. In the Fall of
SO, Mr.. Morgan struck good pay at the head
of the creek, and succeeded in taking out seve-
raj thousand dollars, and went home last FALL
leaving his diggrngs with his son. Since he
first struck good pay other companies have
came in and the creek is nearly all claimed for
six miles down. The first claims, owned by
Mr. Morgan, averages an ounce to the hand /;
one piece, taken out by him. weighed sixteen
ounces. The claims of Messrs. Wagner &
Learing, and Wagner & Leavitt, have paid
eight or ten dollars day per hand for the last
ten months. All those who have succeeded in
getting a good opening in their claims are
doing well.
The claims of Messrs. Loripg & Co., which
are in a ravine emptying into Wolf Creek,
some three miles from its head, have paid
eight dollars a day to the hand. Last Fall,
they dug a new ditch which will carry the
water high enough to work all of their ground,
and have just finished putting up hydraulic.
In anticipation of the "good time coming"
they have purchased jack, with which TO de-
fraud the expressman by packing out their
own dust. May their expectations be realized.
The snow has been six or eight feet deep all
Winter, but is now fast melting away, and we
are in hopes of soon seeing bare ground.
On Christmas day, the miners all turned out
to break trail from the lower cabin to the
head of the creek. We had fiddler, and
were three days getting up. One of the boys
had a machine " and :" done a song which,
as it was local, the hits would not be ap-
preciated by your readers.
A Debating Club was organized here last
Fall, under the name of the Wolf Greek Ly-
ceum; they met at the different cabins every
Saturday evening. all Winter. After having
passed the "religious crisis safely, they un-
dertook to save the Union )" but it proved
too much for them, and they had to succumb.
Its last act was, to pass resolution endorsing
the Crittenden compromise.
Thanks to friend Porter, of Gridleys Oro-
vile and Humbug Valley Express, by whom
we have been supplied regularly with papers,
during the Winter. That he may succeed in
having big" paying route, is the sincere
wish of Yours, ETC.,
Snow SHOE.
