New MINERAL DIsCovERY.-Some time dur
ing the last week in December, Mr. Hughes
and his little son, who were prospecting
among the many quartz ledges in the vicinity
of the copper mines at the lower end of Salt
Spring Valley, struck upon new and aston
ishingly rich vein of copper. Specimens of
the ore which may be be seen at this Office,
show an appearance of nearly pure masses
of copper without any foreign substance
intermixed. 1t is the opinion of Mr.. H. that
the vein from which they were taken is one
of the richest in the world; and it is besides,
so situated that the ore can be obtained with
but little expense to the worker He repre-
sents the district of country in which these
copper mines are located as aboundng in a
great many kinds of precious and useful
metals, including gold; silver; copper, nickle,
etc.; and thinks there IS no section Of the
mineral regions Of this State which should
receive greater share of attention from the
Geological Surveying corps. If his opinions,
and the views expressed by many others with
whom we have conversed on the subject,
are correct, this copper district is certainly
destined to become one of the greatest dis
bursers of wealth on the Pacific coast
San Andreas Independent.

THE "CAMBRIANs."- Waite, of the Nevada
Journal, pitches into this troupe in very ILL
natured manner. 1t appears he was displeased
more with the kind than the quality of their
melody and that an unruly portion of the audi
ence marred the evenings entertainment 1t
NAV be that the selections of the troupe could
be improved, and that an orchestra would add
brilliancy to their performances; but we must
continue to insist that they are good singers.
We never witnessed an exhibition of their vocal
powers, but have the assurance of good Judges
that such is the fact-and we blieve it.

SPEECH FROM THE CAPTAIN.-Our wor-
thy Assemblyman, Capt. n. c. Miller, has
made speech--a Short one-on the ques-
ton of electing Speaker. and here it is:
81 presume that nearly all of us, before we
came here, canvassed this matter in our own
minds. Looking over the names of the men
who supported Mr.. Douglas, there are two
gentlemen from Sacramento and a gentleman
from FL Dorado who were thought of as cam
didates for the Speakership. l look at the
fact that we have not enough votes here to
elect a Speaker, that we require some four
votes in order to do that My preferences
rather lead me towards the gentleman from
Sacramento ] thought that the gentlemen
who supported Mr.. Douglas would be willing
to come in with US without making any great
trouble, and that this secession movement
would have tendency to force parties to-
gather. And / thought if gentlemen would
meet in such spirit of amity and friend
Illness, we should act together through this
winter without any difficulty whatever. With
these feelings | was rather inclined to support
some gentleman who would be favorable to
both sides, upon whom both sides might
unite. 1 was very sorry when came here
to find a different state of things altogether.
found that the gentlemen who supported
Mr.. Breckenridge thought themselves Demo-
Gratis, pure and simple, and that we were the
boilers and had to stand ont in the cold.
There was a spirit of Defiance of aggression,
almost of insoence, that rendered any action
together almost impossible. I have seen
that here to-day and under these circum-
stances I do not see that we can be called
upon to meet them in any such spirit.

MCCUE's LINE.-Last week we rode with jim.
McCue to Marysville and back. His line is well
pstronized now. When passengers are scarce
he does pretty extensive carrying business in
the express line, which more than pays expenses.
In this respect, the small dealers along the road
find his coaches of great advantage-particularly
during the winter season, when teams are scarce,
and freights difficult to be delivered In the
spring, he informs us, he intends putting on a
Concord coach, and renewing his line between
Nevada and Marysville. The latter he found to

WINTER RosEs.-Th Marysville Appeal
boasted last week of receiving the present of a
boquet of natural flowers from fair hand, and
thought it remarkable circumstance that such
things should be, only twenty miles from the
foothills, while winter held sway on the noun
tains of the background. Well, the boquet was
something to be admired and wondered at, even
IN the Valley, considering the inclement season;
but our neighbor, Frank Smith, has at this time
in his garden, where it first planted, and has
remained ever since, bush covered with buds
and full-blown roses. Some of the roses showed
their scarlet beauties when others were almost
entirely enveloped in snow, and iceicles depend
ed, like stalactites, from the parent tree Neither
rain, snow, frost, hail nor wind has done them
injury. They still survive, an ornament to the
locality where they situated.
GJThe foregoing article had hardly been put
in type, when Major Weton stepped into our
office, bearing in his hands cluster of rose-buds
plucked from his premises, which, he informs us,
will blow if put into vessel containing water.

MATRIMONIAL PARTY.-A well-known and
popular merchant of North San Juan, accompa-
rents, and perhaps several mutual friends, left
for Marysville Wednesday morning, a
matrimonial excursion. That is to say, the
merchant and black-eyes were to be married, on
their arrival at the latter city, proceed to San
Francisco, there to spend at least aportion of the
honeymoon. Neither the name ofthe gentleman
nor the lady will admit of a. pun; so that we are
compelled to leave the reader in state of con-
lecture as to who the parties probably are. This
much we can say-heis is lucky dog to have won
so fair lady; and she fortunate Miss to secure
so fine a gentleman.

NARROW EscAPE.-Jim Pettinger came very
near having his wind stopped on Thursday morn
ing. He rode in Bob Howlands wagon to the
forest to assist the latter gentleman in obtaining
a load of wood. Returning, seated on the wood

scending hill, which precipitated Jim to the
earth, head foremast. He SO fell that his neck
directly across the track of the wheel, short
distance in advance, and he would have been in
continently killed had not Bob succeeded in stop

ing, representing Penn, making a treaty
With the Indians. The picture is about four
feet square, and though the design is not
original with Mr.. Ferrand, the most casual
observer wifi pronounce the painting the
work Of a finished artist.

arrangements to give grand gift entertain
ment, to come off on the I'd of March next.
Prizes to the value of 1856 will be distrib-

ANOTHER INvENTIoN.-Jo. B. Low, clever
townsman of ours, who is at present vegetating
at San Francisco, sent up to Frank Smith few
days ago, an invention which he has just compile
ted for fastening hose to its couplings. 1t is in
two separate parts, one forming the band, or
clasp, and the other the wrench, by which the
band is drawn tight around the hose, where, by a
distinct iron wedge, it is clinched. The wrench
operates with screw, the principle of the
monkey-wrench. Though rather simple con-
trivance, this invention is pronounced a great
improvement on the old style of fastening hose,
and will no doubt come into universal use among
miners.

HOW TO PROSPER IN BUSINESS.


In the first place, make up your mind to
accomplish whatever you undertake decide
upon some particular employment, and per-
severe in it. All difficulties arc overcome by
diligence and assiduity.
BE not afraid to work with your hands, and
diligently too A cat in gloves catches no
mice He who remains in the mill, grinds ;
not he who goes and comes.
Attend to your business, never trust any
one else. A pot that belongs to too many
is i'll stirred and worse boiled
Be frugal That which will not make a
pot will make pot lid Save the pence.
and the pounds will take care of themselves.
BE abstemious. Who danties love shall
beggars prove
Rise early. The sleepy fox catches no
poultry
Plow deep. while sluggards sleep, and
you will have corn to sell and keep
Treat every one with respect and civility.
Everything is gained, and nothing lost by
courtesy
Good manners insure success
Never anticipate wealth from any ether
source than labor especially never place de-
pendence upon becoming the possessor Of an
inheritance He who waits for dead men 8
shoes, may have TO 60 a long time barefoot.
He who runs after a shadow hath weari-
some race
Above all things, never despair. God is
where he was. He helps those who truly trust
in him.

We believe that these several propositions
comprise substantially the important features
of all the plans that have been acted upon by
the two Union Committees. We have not
drawn upon the elaborate plan submitted by
Senator Douglas, because the Republican SEN
ators stated through Mr.. Seward that. while
they we're willing to accept some of ils pro-
visions, they could not sanction it as whole,
and therefore no fair vote was taken on ito
several articles, Messrs. Douglas and Crtten-
den being its sole supporters throughout
But the above propositions have been sepa-
ratey acted upon either in one or both of the
committees. We are willing and desirous
that the two sets--that offered by the Repub-
licans and that offered by the nti-Republi-
cans-should go to the country, that the peo-
Pile may pronounce which set is best calcula-
ted to settle the pending difficulties in accord
ance with the maxims and tried policy of our
government, with the rights of all sections.
with the principles of fair and courteous deal
ing and with the conditions of future peace
and fraternity.
