PAYETTE DITCH SURVEY.
EXAMINATION OF ROUTES FOR CANAL FROM THE
PAYETTB RIVER TO BOISE BASIN.

PAHETTE RIVER TO BOISE BASIN.
EE. BOISE NEws-You will confer favor
on not small portion of the people of Boise
Basin, as well as obige the undersigned, by
publishing in your columns the result Of the
above examination.
We commenced our work at "Grmes's
Pass" on Grimess creek, some four miles
above Pioneer city. The digging on the first
four miles was moderately good-the
next six miles rocky, rendering tuning nee
essary in many places. At this point the
ground became worse--the difficulties to
overcome still greater, and the cost of con-
struction MUCH increased. From this place
We made no regular survey, but examined the
route of the line for the next twenty miles,
and found the same to be principally rock
with the hillsides not only continuously steep
but much of the way exceedingly abrupt and
even pTecipitous. We then abandoned said
line: regarding il impracticable. The next
trial commenced at low pass, some two and
a half miles beIow the head of Grimes's creek
the labor of day and half established
the fact that this line was several hundred
feet higher tBan low place on the dividing
ridge between the Payette and Boise rivers
consequently the second line was abandoned.
The initial point of the third line was at a
pass nearly midway between the first and
second lines-hoping thereby to secure better
ditching ground than the first line afforded
After trial of twelve miles Of this line, the
difficulties of the first line were encountered,
with quitean additional increase in length of
line. The distance of any line along the
southern hillside of the Payette is greatly
increased by the many deep fluctuations
caused by the numerous abrupt gulches ex-
tending far back towards the summit of the
mountain. Our opinion is that no line can
be found on which ditch of the contempla-
ted size twenty-five hundred inches) can be
constructed with less than an expenditure of
one and quarter million dollars. The short

a few years since expressly for her, and on its
representation the house was crammed to do ho
mage to one who had come so far to amuse and
instruct our golden city with her artistic and nat
ural acting. So many having witnessed it on that
occasion, a repetition of the plot would be super
duous on our part it was enough to hear her
musical voice to feel her depth of eonstancy and
love her truthfulness in delineation of Woman's
finer feelings, when racked by doubt and despair,
to at once carry away the senses captive and lead
one charmed as by syren, and II struck us very
forcibly that were the same WOmanly feelings in

MooRE's CREEK, August %, 1864.
We, the undersigned, appointed by thu
miners of Moore's creek to draft resolutions
relative to the rights of the miners using tn,
water naturally running in Moore's creek, in
opposition to the bitches conveying the water
from the creek to the dry diggings for the
purpose of selling it, to the detriment of the
creek miners, beg leave to report the follow
ing resolutions;
Resolved, That the miners of Moore's creek
have not sufficient quantity of water to
work the claims in the creek, the natural wa
ter of the creek being taken out and convey
ed to the dry diggings for the purpose Of sale,
the water from this cause being very irreg-
ular, causing much extra expense and incon-
venience.
Resolved, That not less than ESQ inches OF
water will suffice for working the claims in
the creek.
Resolved, That the miners deem it neces-
sary that this amount of water shall run in
the original or natural channel of the creek,
past all bitches not used in working claims
in the creek.
Resolved, That the miners of Moore's creek
have, as unit, determined that this amount

is an undeniable position. 1t does
not however, consist with the respect
and forbearance due from a confedo-
rate State toward the general govorn-
ment to fly TO opon resistance upon
oyery infaction of the Constitution. =
The mode and energy Of the opposi-
ton should always conform to the ma
ture of tho violation, and intention of
its authors, the extent of the injury
inflicted; the determination manifested
TO persist in it, and the danger of de-
lay. But in cases of deliberate, dan
gerous and pnlpable infractions Of the
Constitution, affecting the soysrereign-
~ Of the State and tho liberties Of the
people, is not only right, but the
duty Of snch State to interpose its au-
thority for their protection in tho
manner best calculated TO secure that
end. When emergencies occur, which
are either beyond ths reach of the ju-
dicial tribunals, or too pressing to ad-
NIT Of the delay incident to their
forms, States which have no common
umpire must be their own judges, and
execute their own decisions. 1t will
thus be proper for tho several States
to await the ultimate disposal of the
obnoxious measures recommended by
tho Secretary Of War, or pending be-
fore Congress, and SO to use their
power, according to tho character that
those measuses shall finally assume,
as effectually to protect their own SOW
ereignty, and the right and liberties Of
their citizens"
