EXPENDITURES, AND WHAT FoR.-It
would seem to be impossible that the
leading men Of the present party in pow
er can have the slightest idea that the
debt of the county, now so vast and SO
rapidly increasing, will ever be paid
Sixty days ago Congress passed def,
cheney bill of 81, 600. 900. and now it turns
out that We have larger deficiency bill
than was ever known in the history of
nations. After calling for . thousand
millions of money for the present fiscal
year ending in July next. the heads Of
the various departments Of the Admins,
tration state that the 81. .O00, 900 was but
one drop in the great ocean Of their wants,
and actually come before Congress with
a deficiency OF &9S, O0O. 900 more making
a grand total of SlO5. 100000 short in
their expenditures for 1854.
What think you. tax payers, in this
hour OF national agony, portion of this
money was expended forP $50. 900, 900

EDIroRs DsAoCRAT, We Of the old town Of
Mud Springs are basking in the sunshine Of
happiness. We have nothing to do, but quietly
lay aside al A1hOugbts Of ambition and lull the
hours away in refresbment aud sleep. Labor
is out Of the question.
Since my last there has been some very rich
strikes msde around this vicinity. learn the
COhco Company have struck it big, and shares
have gone up to an enormous figure. John N.
Butler is now negotiating for the stock 10 the
hands Of outside parties. When be succeeds
in collecting it together, hewill erect mill Of
sufficient capacity to crush fifteen tuns of rock
per day, which, al ele0 TO The tun, its present
yield, will be q, 800 per day, $4,000 per week.
Then we will have lots Of money of our own,
and not be obliged TO import from our sister
towns.
Ellen's mill at Aurom is doing fine bust
ness. Carney's, at FrencbtowD, has suspended
for the present, but will resume operations in .
few days.
The great lead OF the Messrs. Gray L Co., is
doing timely. They have just completed a shaft
some fifty feet deep, and have struck the old
ledge from which they have taken upwards Of
fifteen thousand dollars. They have an excel
lent mill and will be able to crush about lS tun
of rock daily.
Farmers IN and around this vicinity are com
planning. II it does not rain soon the hay aud
| grain crops will be light, even in the noun
tains.
We have never had better prospect for .
grape crop than at present. The vines are
loaded, and if no bail comes there will be an
immense amount raised this coming Fall. j.
81. B. Wetherwa1 and W. II. Pavey, our prin-
cipal wine manufacturers, contemplate making
about II, 600 gallons each. The former gentle
man has been in Sacramento great part of the
past winter, bottng and shipping to different
points. learn be has an order to fill from the
capital at Washington. Secretary Chase hav-
ing tested and pronounced it good. Old Abe
wants some now for his private use, and cargo
goes forward BY the next clipper ship round
the horn,-that is said to be the better way, as
wine improves BY age.
! Our mutual friend tai. collector Simmons
and his lndefAtigable deputy, Gilmore are hard
at work. They seldom let chance slip when
there is dollar to be assessed or collected.
venture the assertion that no township officer
in the county will collect more money than
Joe. Mark that! II any month be falls be-
hind any VI the others, set me down for = new
| hat.
Dennis Higgins, Of Nevada House notoriety,
has disposed Of his hotel for one year to Messrs.
Bird & Bates, and Dennis has concluded TO
marry. settle down and be wiser aud better
man. He has fatherIy care for the orphans,
aud is always charitable.
Our old friend Potter is running the Oriental
Hotel, and daily dispeuses the good things of
this life to all who are found worthy. That
means. suppose, if they have the cash. I'm

Mayor Brewster's inaugural.

The new city officers were sworn into
office on Monday night, and Immediately
thereafter Mayor Brewster delivered the
following:
GENTLEMEN or THE Council: The lin
tied time our City Charter preScribes for
/ the members Of the Council to convene
after being chosen 10 represent and admin.
lister the affairs thereof, does not admit Of
my presenting 10 you detailed statement
as regards the finances OF our City, but |
trust that at our next monthly meeting
shall be able 10 lay before you all the facts
of interest relating TO finances, our Fire
| Department and City Schools, all Of which
demand your careful attention. You are
doubtless appriScd of the fact that the law
governing our City Schools, was amended
this last winter, for the purpose Of giving
/ the people an opportunity to elect Board
. Of Directors who would devote their time
With the especial view Of guarding aud
| elevating our Schools to a standard that
we would be justly proud OF, and 20 ena-
blr the Directors and superintendent to
carry out the above laudnbIe object, it " i'll
be necessary for you to be as liberal in
levying the tax for School purposes, AZ the
finances Of the city will admit. Any aid
that is requisite, that yor may deem pro
per to exteRd to our Fire Department. " i'll
receive my hearty cooperation. There is
no class Of citizens that have greater
claims upon your generosity. They are
always ready with strong arm, and a
/ 1nol ,n1ty l. 20, Er,,,,.T
aud battle with the devouring element
! We all unite in feeling degree Of pride
that our efforts to connect Placerville with
! tide. water by railroad, is now no longer
| doubt, NC can look forward with an
assurance that the road will be completed
/ early in the summer Of 1865. The liber.
al policy which our citiZ-ns have pursued
! in connection with the City and County,
in furnishing means TO aid and complete
the road, will be fully reimbursed by the
impetus to all branches Of trade, which is
! sure to follow the completion of the road.
" ith the increase of trade, there will be
a corresponding increase and value to real
estate. Our mines aud mining interests,
which have always maintained a high
reputation, will come in for q share Of the
general prosperity. With cheap trans,
portation our lumber merchants will be
able to manufacture lumber and place it
in the market at prices that will defy
competition, and thereby augment their
business to an extent that will warrant
the belief that that branch Of industry
alone will GO far towards supporting US
in our ambition to make Placerville the
leading mountain CITY in the State.
