Enquirer, of Placer county, says:

Enquirer, of Placer county. says:
The Gray Eagle hydraulic company clean
ed up last week after run of ten days, and
took out sSoS 20. This claim is owned by
three persons, and promises to yield the pro-
prietors large sums at every cleaning. The
yield tins week is smaller, however, than it
has been since the claim was put in condi-
ton to work.
The Enterprise hydraulic company cleaned
up last week after run of nine davs. and re
allied the handsome sum of 81 1882 60. This
claim last week had, Ecst of the time four
hands employed, and the yield was greater
than it has been heretofore. The average,
however, of this and the Grey Eagle may be
set down at about 81 400 90 every nine
days There are several other claims in this
district that are equally as good as the two
named, and many that yield much larger
sums.
To give slight idea of the mining opera
tions in this place during the past week,
which. as yet. are in their inception. we state
authoritatively that the amount taken out ie
upwards oftwenty thousand dollars.

THE ATTEMPTED Fusion PKoGRAMME-1

| ''N
Sacramento Bee of Wednesday says:
| The resolutions introduced at the meeting
last night, 10y Mr.. Magruder, of the Marys-
vile Express, paper, which more than any
other in the State advocates the cause of the
! Secessionists, contain no word of rebuke for
| those who have taken up arms against the
Government and forcibly seized upon its
property, while they hurl anathemas at these
who have not raised hostile arms against the
| nation, but are pledging themselves TO its de-
fense And they also declare against the en-
forcement of the laws. These resolutions are
such as an Alabama, South Carolina. OF Flor
ida Convention of Hotspur politicians might
well adopt, for they say in effect, "ThOse who
desire to divide this Union may use whatever
force they please for that purpose, but no
force shall be used against them !" 1t is said
to be a poor rule that will not work both
ways-what is sauce for one ought to be SO
for the other, but these men say, "O no. let
force be used to dissolve the Union. but none
must be used to maintain it," They may
preach this doctrine till doomsday, without
impressing the public with its iustHess. His
tory offers no evidence that it has ever been
adopted by any peope-human nature rea
volts at 1.-THE instincts of self-preservation
in man and nations, reject it with scorn, and
proclaim that force must be met by force,
as a last resort as consultation should by
consultation, and reason by reason. fpow
er is not to be used let those in arms against
the Government lay them down, give up the
forts, and other public property they have
violently and rebelliously seized, and say if
they please 1--WE have wrongs to be redress
ed, rights to be guaranteed, privileges to
demand but we are willing to negotiate on
the subject If you will meet us in a spirit
of fairness, we will offer compromises if you
will do the same, and thus all this difference
may be justly and amieably settled between
u.s."

The TRIBUNE on SEwARD.-No man, now.
a-days, can make conservative speech
whether in the Senate or elsewhere, without
bringing down upon his head the denuncia'
tions Of the ulras. The best evidence that
Seward has done himself credit lies in the
fact that. while the Southern ulLras denouncs
him, because he didn't go far enough,-that
is turn Calhoun Democrat outright-the ul-
tras of his own party denounce him for going
too far. The Tribune says:
In his speech in the Senate on Thursday
last he proclaimed that the Republican party
and its platform of principles was to pass
away in order to save the Union The ex-
tension of slavery. he also tells us, "has
ceased to be practical, vital question" If,
then. the Republican platform be renowned,
and it the demands of slavery are no longer
to be sternly, unfiinchingly met with conSti-
tutlonal resistance, but are to be treated with
new concessions and new compromises, how,
we ask, is there any longer vital relation
between Mr.. Seward and the Republican
party? He sets aside its principles, he re-
pudiates its policy, he places himself in direct
antagonism with the President it has just
elected aud SO far as his influence reaches,
he demoralizes the spirit of its ranks These
are not pleasant things to say. We say them
with grief and sorrow. But they are facts
which cannot be hidden under ambiguous
phrases. They point to the humiliation of
freedom and of the North; Just as did Mr.
Webster's speech of the 7th of March. And
in view of facts like these are we 10 be
charged with endeavors to expel Mr. Seward
from the Republican party? We expel no.
body; but why should we shut our eyes to
the truth that an eminent leader has adopted
new views and a new policy, and has aban-
doned and renounced those with which his
name has hitherto been identified? This new
position is one that he has chosen for himself;
aud until he returns to the old standards he
does not. of course, desire to be counted
among their followers.

EXTRACT from the second speech of Andrew
johnson, in the Senate:
"Treason ought to be punished, North or
South, and if there are traitors they should
be entitled to traitors reward. IApplause. ]
liz said that South Carolina early had pre-
Judlce against Government by the people,
and that secession was no new thing in that
State. He referred TO the early history of
South Carolina, who claimed at one time that
they were ready to go back under the do
minion of King George. He read an ad-
dress of the people of Charleston to King
George in 1880. saying that they never in.
tended to dissolve that union, lamenting the
struggle of Independence. protesting love and
zeal for that Government, the King, ETC., etc.
He then referred to the attempts to break
up the Government in 1888 by South Caroli-
na. Then they were restrained and their
pri e humbled, and men who speak in this
Convention now say that they have had an
int ention to dissolve the Union for forty
years. The question now is, are the other
States going to allow themselves to be pre-
cipitated into ruin by South Carolina? All
South Carolina wants of the more Northern
States is men and money. What does South
Carolina propose to give to Kentucky and
Tennessee? All South Carolina wants of
Kentucky and Tennessee, and the other
States of the northern portion of the South,
is to furnish men and money. When we find
her prosecuting contest for Mexico or else
where, Tennesseans and Kentuckians will be
very desirable to hel p in the battles. What
protection can South Carolina give Tennes-
see and Kentucky. if her negro property
needs protection? We have got the men,
and will have to pay for it, and not South
Carolina, which has been an apple of dscord
in this confederacy from my earliest recolec-
tion to this time. complaining of everything
and satisfied with nothing. | think some
times it would almost be Godsend if Mas
sachusetts and South Carolina could be Joined
together, like the Siamese twins, and separa
ted from the Government, and TAX en- off into
some remote, some secluded part of the ocean,
and fastened there to be washed from the
waves and cooled by the winds; and after
they had been there sufficient length of
time the remainder of the people of the
United States might entertain proposition
for taking them back. Laughter For
they seem to have been source of dsatisfac-
tion pretty much ever since the confederacy
was formed, and some operation or expert
ment of this kind, think would have 6ene-
fl tial effect on them. Butwe must try to do
the best We can with them.

THE following items are from the Butte
Record, of Saturday:
CoNvIorED-Guy F. Seely, indicted for an
slult with intent to commit murder, at
Mooreville, some time last fall, has been tried
and convicted. The facts, as developed in
the trial of the case, are in substance, as
follows: 1t appears that some time before
the assault was committed, Seeley and his
wife separated. After the separation, Seeley
solicited and obtained an interview with Mr.
John A. Crawford, who, at the time, was
confined to his room with aibroken leg, and
requested him to write letter to his (See-
ley's) wife, who was then in Forbestown ex-
pressing sentiments of love for her, and to
show him the answer, if he receiv ed one, as
he wanted to get enough evidence against
her to enable him to obtain a divorce Mr.
Crawford refused to have anything to do
with the NATTER but subsequently, wrote a
letter to Mrs. Seeley informing her of the
proposition which Seeley had made, and ex-
pressing a general regard for her welfare.
Seeley happened to be in Forbestown when
the letter arriv ved-took it from the office
opened and read it. He then went to Moore
vile, exhibited the letter to several friends
and expressed determination to kill Craw-
ford for writing letters to his wife He then
went to Crawford's room and charged him
with receiving letters from his wife, and
threatened to kill him unless he gave them
up. Crawford denied having any such let
ters in his possession, whereupon Seeley
drew navy revolver and discharged 1.-THE

BRIDGE.-We are sorry to learn that q
controversy has arisen between Gen. Moore
and MIR. Lathrop. regarding the right to build
bridge across Feather river at this place
Gen. Moore, We understand, claims the right
from the fact of owning the land lying on
the opposite side of the river. Mr.. Lathrop
bases his claim upon charter or grant here
tofore made by the Board of Supervisors.
The matter comes up again before the Board
Of Supervisors on Wednesday next. when,
we hope, it will be decided one way or the
other. The interests of the town, the farm
ers on the other side Of the river, and the
travelling public demand the building of a
bridge; but, unless the rights of rival claim
ants can be settled, we fear that it will be
some time before one is built. Compromise,
gentlemen, and build the bridge.

OUR SABBATH SCHOOLS.

II is possible that some may think it
strange to see an article on Sabbath Seho OILS
in the Educational column, but such persons
must bear in mind that common schools,
and Summaries, and colleges, are no more
important as agents OF education than the
Sabbath schools; and, that the encourage
men, Of the former to the neglect Of the lat
ter, cannot but BIO followed by the most
disastrous consequences. In our city there
are three Sabbath schools oil in fourishing
condition, ard all doing good service in the
education Of the heads and the hearts Of the
rising generation. There are trials and
vexations inseperahly connected with such
schools, and the labor performed by super
ntendents and teachers is gratuItous: but
where nre the teachers who will say thai.
they are working without reward-not sim
pig hope Of reward, bot the reward itself
coming to them all the time, silently and un-
oh,rusively, yet none the less gratefully in
the eIoquen. chances Of awakening intellect,
in the rapid unfolding ofthe young minds
around them, in the setting of LIES great
current in the right direction. Scholars may
be iuat,entiye, the influences of the school
may seem to have little effect upon them :
but those influences are throwing invisible
cords around many a headstro7g boy, that
will hold him back from ruin. A few years,
and he will be out buTet.ng the storms and
encountering the temptations of the wide
" neutrality-suspicious. before which, millions
Of strong hearts md brilliant intellects, have
succumhed but, when the gulf is yawning
to receive him, memories Of the Sabbath
school which have sumbered perhaps for
years. come ,hronging up--he steps back and
is saved. Superntendsnts and teachers !.
keep up the Sabbath. schools, gather in the
children from all quarters, bear with their
rou yhuess, for many Of them run wild Mt
home. II their minds are dull and torpid, and
slow to receive instruction, have patience
teach them what you can. Remember
that the great DR.. Barrow was considered
a dol, BY his teachers and schoolmates, till
be was twelve wears old. Be punctual, and
teach your schools to be; and work away
with the assurance that you are not only
beneti,ipg them, bat yourself, community,
the nation, and the world.
