and all land the passengers where they would
starve to death, or let them go. as he did after
obtaining the ArieEs bond for the payment of
$500, 900. The AppeaIs informant, who of course
was passenger on the .drisI at the time she was
brought to by the rebel craft, says that only about
six or eight of the Aiabama's crew, wandering
over two hundred persons, are Americans.

RAMA light drzzling rain has been falling
slowly and almost necessarily for the last five
days. The snow is nearly melted from the val
leys and foot hills, resulting in liberal supply
of water for mining purposes, and the miners are
improving it. At last accounts Trinity river had
raised about thirty inches. The small streams
and gulches about Weavervle indicate that
mining has commenced While the present slow
rain is furnishing supply of water in the valleys,
the snow is piling up GU the mountains for sun
mer use Everything looks favorable for a
prosperous mining season now.

would prefer seeing Mr.. Sargent invested with
