Tue DEMOCRACY MUST TRIUNPn-T
intelligent, thoughtful man is the one who
watches most closely the progress OF
events. Who Of that class Of persons can
fail to perceive that the only hope Of peace,
quiet and reconciliation is in the triumph
of the Demoo ratio party? 1t is ajuitlcd
by the ablcst statesmen Of our country,
by men Of experience and judgment, that
the Union can be restored and preserved
only by the Democratic party. All sec.
tons have confidence in, its wisdom, pa
triotsm and fealty to the Constitution. -
Its history proves that it is national in
sentiment and patriotic in feeling. Its
principles have received the sanction Of
the ablest and best men Of our country

DRY SEAsoN.-The Summer in California is
emphatically the "dry scason"-dry scarcely
expresses it; it does not do "justice to the sub
ject," and of all dry seasons this throws its
predecessors in the shade. 1t is the dryest Of
the dry. Wells, springs, brooks, creeks and
rivers are "dried up" The parched and thirs.
~ earth is destitute ofmoisture. Everything
seems TO be returning TO its original element
dust, and we are blessed with more than enough
OF the original-would rather have Il mixed
The Summers sun has poked his nose into
every nook and crevice, and licked up with bis
fiery tongue every particle of moisture. The
flowers and grasses of early Spring have long
since lost their freshness faded, withered,
died; the pines and oaks are no longer clothed
in beauty, but droop as faded wreaths upon the
grave Of the loved and lost. We are told that
LEAVES have their time to fall and flowers to
fade" ETC., but that means in well regulated
climes; here they fall out of time and fade iu
their spring. California plays the deuce with
poetry, leaves and flowers. They "spread
themselves" out of season and die before their
trme. The eartf is sparched; dreary ind dusty,
and 30 it will remain until the gentle rains again
bless us with their glorious tribute.

PRINCE EDWARD AND ALPHA CoSsoL-
fps1Ep.-ln the rssine Immediately east Of
Gold Hin, and in an lIaoss direct line from
our Office. there b siEuzked mining claim
to which We this morning paid visit, and
which is worthy u mentioa. Il is in the inn
mediate vicinity Of the old (abandoned)
Alum Tunnel, so called from the fact of its
running through q hill Of almost pure alum,
and which, By The way, may one Of these
days pay Of Gself handsomely for the labor
required 10 rtstify and ct il for common use.
The Prince Edward and Alpha claim-these
two ledses were located last April, and were
incorporated the following June. A shaft
was sunk TO the depth Of loo feet, and then
dTift was run towards the west, where wa.
ter was struck, and it poured in so rapidly
and rose so high that it was found necessary
to abandon the shaft for the time being. The
company, after a brief cessation lately re-
newed labor, this time running to the east
ward from their original shaft, and are now
nearly 100 feet under the hill-fuRning for
their eastern ledge. That there are
two ledges embraced within the claim
there is no doubt, and that they will both
prove rich, Is the confident belief Of expert
eneed miners who are interested. The indi-
cations are Of hopeful character. Should
these ledges, or either Of them prove rich, i
will demonstrate the doubted fact that all
the wealth Of the Gold Hill district is not
confined to its western half. In fact, full
justice has never been done to this eastern
section. 1t has never been fairly tested. 1t
abounds in prospect holes, about as large as
those which cayote would make, but none
that would clearly demonstrate whether they
might lead to ANYTHING rich. The Prince
Edward and Alpha, though on the east side
of Gold Hill, is on a range with the Justice,
and other rich Silver City claims, by reason
Of the curve on the main road. We shall
watch the progress Of work on this claim
Above its shaft, there is now 4 commodious
house, through which air is conveyed to the
below, and work on the mine will
be continued with greater speed so soon as
air tubes shall have been procured. Should
the eastern ledge prove rich, machinery will
be erected so as to develope the western ono,
BY pumping out the water.
New PAPER.-Thomas Fitch & Co., are
put with prospectus for Sunday paper, to
