The BLOCKADE OF MAzATLAN.-The follow
ing is an extract from letter from the Amer
lean Consul at Mazatlan, to house in San
Francisco:
The Rctonaa, late E,cisg, has been releas-
ed, the Governor having paid, or at least
secured to the Frenchman, the demand made
by him, as well as given the satisfaction ask
ed for, namely, twenty-one gun salutes to
the French flag. This is rather humiliating
to the natives.
The above was dated says the Alta, Ma
zatlan, Dec 20, 1860, two days before the
one from which we gave extracts Wednes-
day, the news in that being from Guaymas,
and not Mazatlan, under date of Dec 3lst.-
AS it would take about five or six days for
news to go from one place to the other, they
could not, of course, have known Of the set
tlement Of the affair at Guaymas at the date
of the letter mentioned, consequent y, the
story of Mazatlan being blockaded, probably
falls to the ground.

description of some new and rich mines, on Il
large creek which empties in the Fraser about
800 miles above Fort George. They consist
of both bar and bench diggings; the bars

TO the facilities they offer for superficial min

The WAsnoE MIYEs.-The Territorial En-

which will strike the hill or mountain in the
center some 1900 feet below the surface and
drain and develop great number of leads
The Companys tunnel will run through the
following veins: The Miller, Coover, Wade
Fitton, Mohegan, Hurst d Meredith. Sacra-
mento, Texas, Cedar Hill Hayes, and the
veins of the Cedar Hill Consolidated Mining
Company. Several of the veins mentioned
are already known to be rich, and the sun
position is reasonable that the tunnel will
demonstrate the existence of many others
equally as valuable
The Company in addition TO its own ground
have contracts made with other companies
oy which they agree to give a portion of
their ground to have it prospected.
The lronside Company on the Vermilion
Ledge, which is situated little west and
parallel with the Durgan ledge, have struck
it unusually rich in silver. The width of the
ledge is not yet determined but is supposed
to be about twenty feet Quite an excitement
has been created by the reported discovery.

Alta, Of Februry 9Th, says: Yesterday we
visited the new boat, Kidd at North Point,
and were surprised to find her so near COM
pleted Her engines (20 and boilers (i,) are
on board; her staterooms and hurricane deck
are nearly built, and soon the boat will be
finished Then let all interested look out for

MOUNT DTABLo Coal MINEs-The coal from
these mines is said to burn well, though it is
not regarded as equal to imported coal. 1t
is of hard texture but exceedingly brittle.
1t is anticipated that the quality will i'm
prove as the vein is more thoroughly oDen-
ed
The Mirror says that the coal has improv-
ed in quality recently, and that the proprie-
tors Of the "Black Diamond" mine have suc-
ceeded in reaching splendid vein by tun-
neling the mountain at considerable dis
tance below the point of their first opera
tions. They have been several months en-
gagged in the enterprise, and there is a good
prospect now that they will be amply remu-
nerated for the expense incurred in the un-
dertaking. The vein now opened is repre-
sented as superior to any that has yet been
discovered.
The parties interested in the coal mining
business have been steadily engaged in per-
fecting arrangements for taking it out in
large quantities.
A GREAT HARvEsr-J w. Freeman. VIM.
Marsh and W. l.. Kennedy, says the visalia
Sun, have placed on record a notice of their
intention to appropriate the waters of the
North Fork Of Kern river, and convey the
same by means of ditch, to Posey creek.
Rag Gulch, Gordon's Gulch. Coarse Gold
Guleh, White river and Deer creek all of
which, though at present containing water.
are dry in summer. The extreme length of
this ditch will be about seventy miles-lonp
er we think, than any ditch in the State
There is gold enough in the above named
gulches to pay for it, and besides if they d-
vert to any considerable extent the waters
of Kern river, it will enable the miners on
that stream to work its bed thoroughly, and
ensure them a golden harvest.

Drafting the Proper Mode.

The State administration We trust will
at once adopt the plan Of raising troops by
drafting instead Of volunteering, as the
shortest mode of filling up the regiments.
It is a fact that while many patriotic young
and middle aged men are leaving their
home to sustain the honor of cur country
and It's flag, number Of those for whom
these patriots are willing TO face the enc
mics of our country, are going about dis
seminating discomfort and embarking in
petty party warfare as if no danger threat
ened our institutions Drafting would put
some of these men into their proper posi-
ton, when they would either be compelled
to shoulder musket in defence Of that
government whose blessings they estimate
50 lightly, or if they furnished substitutes
il would present q fine chance for making
these d" "fair-weather patriots" pay for their
high opinion Of southern traitors.

The Difference.

In this county the patent democracy,
declining all offers of union, nominated
full ticket of the ultra school, and although
the Democrat processes not to ike it,
It's editor says he is bound to swallow it,
taverns, distillery and all for the sake Of
party. Mifiin is close county, and some
Of the party probably fatter themselves
that by getting up dishonorable peace
cry, libelling the General and State Gov
ernments, and circulating such secession
papers as the New York Day Book, they
can deceive honest people enough into
support of their ticket and thus elect it,
In this judicial district the case is different
"a large majority being on the side Of the
Peoples Party-and hence the same men
who reject all offers Of Union ticket here
have now special committee at work in
Union and Snyder counties with q view of
inducing Slenker to Withdraw as the dem
ocratic candidate and running a Union or
independent candidate for Judge-one too
whom not one man in a thousand ia this
county ever heard Of The people are ev-
identity to be gulled With two sauces this
fall; but as they have been cheated so Of
ten heretofore, and had such recent taste
Of patent democracy in JEFF Davis, Floyd
Cobb, Thompson, with host of cowboys,
it ought to be sufficient to remember that
the men who supported these Catalines in
their misdeeds while in Office are at work
again. 1t may not be your fault if a man
cheats ycu once, but if he cheats you 4
second time it is yours.
