Coon PAY.-Seven hundred and twenty
dollars, says the Placerville Democrat were
obtained recently from one hundred and
twenty-five ear loads of dirt taken out of the
Cedar Spring Tunnel, located on Cedar Hill,
half a mile east Of Placerville. Thirty six
dollars were washed out of eight successive
pans of dirt, ranging from two TO eleven dol
lars to the pan, all fine gold. These claims
were first opened in 1851, and known as the
old Perry diggings. They were originally
six in number, fifty feet to claim, and run
ming to the centre of the hill, but have re-
Gently been augmented to twenty. The pay
gravel is very much cemented, and conse-
quently perhaps not more than half the gold
can be saved the first washing. The main
tunnel is nine hundred feet in length, eight
hundred of which, including open cut, is
driven through the rock but not being low
enough to drain the channel in the hill, it
was never but partially prospected.

There were nearly four hundred persons in
Calvary Church, Friday evening, says the 5.

humblpg themselves before God that his
wrath may be turned aside from this people
and the Union of the States be preserved
There would DOUBTLESS have been many
more present but for the heavy rain. Ad-
dresses were delivered by Rev. Mr. Williams,
Rev. Mr. Buel and Dr. Scott, the latter gem
tleman being brief but pointed in his re-
marks. He said he was afraid to trust him.
self to say much on such subject, but was
firm in the belief that disunion would result
in civil war, and bloody carnage, and all the
terrible results necessarily following in its
disastrous track. The Rev. Doctor also af-
firmed that, talk as people may about politi-
clans being the chief promoters of treason
and disunion, the churches were most to
blame.

into the ehaparral Master Murphy acted as
magazine for the party, and was in the act of
turning powder out of a canister into his
hand, when a gun was fired so close to him
that the wad ignited the powder in his hand

happily resulted in no serious injury, only
