March oath, 1861.
EDITOR BUTTE RECORD =
The mines on Sucker Run
and its tributaries are just being developed.
There has been several claims opened within
the last few weeks, with good success some
of them paying an ounce day to the hand.
One day last week Mr. Gilmore took out a
nugget weighing seven ounces, besides several
smaller ones ] do not know Of a single miner
who is not doing well. The best claims, yet
found are in the banks of Sucker Run, and in
the small gulches, of which latter there are a
great number that have never been prospected.
The only thing wanted to make this one of the
best mining sections in the county, is supply
of water, which can easily be had by means OF
a ditch from Fall River. The distance will
not exceed five miles before it would reach
some good mining sections, and thence down
the ridge distance of six or eight miles, it
would pass the heads of hundreds Of dry ra-
vines which, no doubt, will pay well. The
miners here are all eager for it, and / believe
that capital could not be better invested than
in bringing in ditch. A MINER.

PATRIOTIC LETTER FROM GOVERNOR HoUs-
rox.-The Galveston Civilian of Februry 2lst
has the following
We understand that General Houston has
been for some days at his place on Galveston
Bay preparing place of retirement for his old
age. H arrived there last Friday, but trav-
eied in the most private way, and avoided all
interference with the present political agitation.
He does not, however, we understand, wish, by
any means, to be considered as one of those
eleventh-hour converts to secession, so many OF
whom are now claiming their reward. The
Austin Ineligencer has been permitted to pub
lish the following extract from a letter written
by General Houston to an old friend, which
defines his position thus:
You say it is reported that | am for seces-
sion. Ask these who say so to point to word
of mine authorising the statement. / have de-
clared myself in favor of peace, of harmony, OF
compromise, in order to obtain fair express
sion of the will of the people. Dangerous as
may be the precedent inaugurated by the Con-
veition before the majesty of the law, which
recognizes its power TO submit the question of
disunion to the people, yield in the same
spirit that actuated Andrew Jackson in paying
the fine arbitrarily imposed on him at New
OtIcdIlS. L aIl uttcIuiiucu lutt luose "uO
would overthrow law shall learn no lesson from
me. | still believe that secession will bring
ruin and civil war. Yet if the people will,
can bear it with them | would fain not be
declared an alien from my native home in old
Virginia, to the scenes of my early tolls and
triunphs IN noble Tennessee. | would not OF
my own choice. give up the banner beneath
which have fought; the Constitution which
| have revered, or the Union which | have
loved and cherished as the glorious and price
less heritage beqneathed me by my fathers
Sixty-seven years of freedom, the recollection
Of past triumphs and sufferings, the memories
of heroes whom | have seen and known, and
whose venerated shades would haunt my foot
steps were | to falter now, may perhaps have
made me too devoted to the Constitution and
the Union, but be it SO. Did believe that
liberty and the rights of the South demanded
the sacrifice, would not hesitate. | believe
that less concession than was necessary to
frame the Constitution will now prosper it.
Thus believing, cannot vote for secession. l
have hesitated TO say anything on this topic,
because desired the people TO act for them
selves My views are on record. Yet it is
perhaps but right that my friends should know
that the charge that am for secession is false.
If err in holding on still to the skirts Of my
venerated old mother, Virginia, and the foster
mother which matured me from childhood, glo-
rious Tennessee, my countrymen will forgive
me, as they have forgiven me for many other
things | have done. | am willing even to be
called submissionist for their sake"

NORTHERN DISTRICT AGRICULTURAL So
eIETY.-The citizens of Marysville have, by
vote. authorized the city government TO raise
by tax, s 900 for the bene6, of the Northern
District Agricultural Society. From the Ap-
peal we learn that it is now the duty of tie
city authorities to levy assess and collect the
tax at the same time and in The same manner
as other taxes are assessed and collected for
the current year. That done, the Mayor and
Council are required to appoint, on or before
the second Monday in July next, a committee
of three of their number and three citizens,
acting in conjunction with the three principal
officers of the District Agricultural Society,
for the purchase of suitable grounds within the
corporate limits, and to see that the needed
buildings are erected thereon, together with
all other improvements considered essential
The property thus purchased is to be decided
to the city authorities, and held by them in
trust for the use of the Society, and is to be
exempt from taxation, execution and forced
sale

PLAN TO DIVIDE SHASTA CouSrY.-Tle
Shasta Herald of March Dist says: A large
meeting of citizens of Oak Run, Bear and Cow
Greeks, and vicinity, was held at Millville last
Saturday, having for its object division OF
the county and TO take such steps as might
seem to them necessary to carry out that pur.
pose. They propose establishing an exclusive.
ly agricultural county, on the east side Of the
Sacramento river-having the river for a divi
ding line. In the event Of success. the name
of 6 Reading" will be given to the new county
and most probably Millville will be the seat
The COW countyans think their interests will
be better promoted by separation from the
miners.

SPEECH OF GENERAL SCoTT TO TIE New

from the details of Pony news, published in
the Sacramento Union. 1t speaks for itself !:
The appearance of the gigantic form of the
venerable commander-in- chief upon the soop
of the house, was the signal of the widest out
burst of enthusiasm that ever greeted him,
which affected him almost to tears. On being
introduced by Senator Fiero, General Scott
drew up his form erect, and, with voice thick
with emotion, said
Friends, whether from New York, Penn.

quarter you may come-you are my country
men. Great cheers, and cries of Your a
noble man : Our Savior | can find no
words to express my sense of the honor you
have done me. Fellow citizens, receive these
cheers with deep thankfulness. One of the
great saturnalias of the nation-the Inaugural
tion of the Chief Magistrates safely passed
"a Chief Magistrate elected by the voice of
the people. pray with you that the Admin
stration may be as happy every day of its ex-
stence as has been this to its commencement
May the sentiments of good feeling expressed
by the President today be the sentiments of
every one before the Administration closes !
May God so command that at the end we may
be one people. one brotherhood and one Union
Cheers. He was highly gratfed that, after
paying respects to the Chief Magistrate, they
should think it proper to make so compliment

fifty years to serve the country, and he felt
cheered by their presence here, and fully repaid
for all he had DONE He closed by invoking
the blessing of God upon the country, and the
audience and their families and again and again
thanked them for the great honor they had
done him.
Immense cheering followed, and the audience
cried ou'. May God bless you?' I" You are

many of the audience shed tears while the old

The SToRM.-The late storm which COM
menced on Saturday morning last and contin-
ued until Wednesday morning, was unusually
severe, causing Feather River to overflow the
bar opposite town, aud rendering it impas-
sable for anything but small boats. The en-
bankmenis on each side of the bridge which
crosses Dry Greek between here and Lynch
burgh, were washed away. and also the bridge
on the river road near Mr.. Murray's. The
bridge across the Honcut, below the Central
House, was rendered so unsafe, on account of
the unusually swollen condition of the creek
that the stages which left Marysville on
Wednesday morning, were unable to cross, and
had to wait until the water in the creek subsi-
ded sufficiently to enable them TO do so, and
consequently did not reach Oroville until about
seven o'clock in the evening, circumstance
which has not happened for years. The Shas-
ia stage which was due on Tuesday at three
o'clock, P. NJ, reached the opposite bank Of
Feather river about six o'clock Wednesday
evening. The mail, express matter and pas
sengers were brought across the river above
Lathrops ferry in small boats, and the teams
taken to Thompsons Flat, as was also the teams
of the Dogtown stage. Though but little rain
fell on Wednesday, and none Thursday, the
ferries were unable to cross The severe rain
of yesterday morning raised the river again to
such hight that it will probably be several
days before it will be passable for anything
but skiffs This is an Inconvenience that the
building of a bridge would remove

TELEGRAPHIC CoMMUNICATIoN.-From the
Sacramento Union of Monday we learn that
the telegraphc companies in the East, inter-

Pacific, recently sent an agent TO this State to
organize the companies on this side, for the
purpose of their more etfectual cooperation in
the work. The agent has, within the past
week or two, arranged the terms of co-opera-
ton, and that a contract has been signed by
him. for and in behalf of the Eastern compani-
es, with the California telegraph firms. By
virtue of this contract the eastern line is to be
extended to Salt Lake without delay, while
with equal expedition, the wires stretching
eastward from California are to be pushed on
to the City of the Mormors, when the mar
riagc of the electrical currents of the Atlantic
and Pacific will be consummated. By the
terms of the contract the Eastern line is to
connect with the California telegraph by the
first of December next. Street, of the Los
Angeles line, is to build on this side.
