SACRAMENTO, Feb %, 1864.
AGRICULTURAL LANDS IN MINING REGION.
Mr.. Yule. of Placer, has introduced in the Sem
ate a series of resolutions similar to those pre-
sented by Senator Hale some time since, recon-
mending the segregation of agricultural and
Grazing lands from mineral lands asking Con-
press to authorize the survey and sale of such
lands, preference being given to the settlers
thereon. The resolutions also recommend a
continuance of the policy of the Government in
reseryng the mineral lands from sale. The res
olutions were ordered printed and made the spe-
cial order for March Sd.
FENCE BILL.
The bill for the protection of grain growers
against depredatons of stock was amended in
the Senate by exempting portion of Sacramen-
to county and all of Placer, and including Ala
media. In that form, Operative only in the
counties of Alameda, Solano, Marin, Butte,
Mono and part of Sacramento the bill passed,
and came to the Assembly, which refused to ad-
nit Alameda whereupon a committee Of Confer
ence was appointed. The bill has taken at least
one weeks time, and the end is not yet.
DITCH COMPANIES.
A bill has passed the Senate to more effectual-
" protect mining canal and ditch companies in
the en10Ymcnt Oh tut TlSHl Vi way.
FEES BE ACCOUNTED FOR.
| A bill has passed to engrosSment in the As
sembly which requires State and county officers
to make quarterly reports of their fees of office,
and obliging them to deposit their books at the
close of their term of Office with the Secretary
of State, or if county officers, with the Board OF
Supervisors. The object is to have proof of the
! fees charged, so AS to prevent overcharging, and
also to obtain statistics a basis for future leg
islation regulating fees of office.
TRINITY COUNTY JUDGE.
! The bill authorizing the Supervisors of Trinity
county to levy special tax for the payment OF
the salary of the county Judge, has been report
ed back from the Judiciary committee with the
recommendation that it be indefinitely postponed
Undoubtedly it will be so disposed of before this
letter reaches you. The committee presented no
reasons, but will undoubtedly do when the
! bill comes up for consideration.
1t has been remarkably dull here this week.
FAUST
| WHAT A REFORMED REBEL SAYS.-Gen. CAN'T.
in late speech at Little Rock, said:
81 hazard nothing in saying that in four
months Arkansas will resume her relations with
the National Government. under Constitution
excluding forever negro slavery from her soil, as
having been the source of al her sufrerings and
calamties, opening up pathway to
wealth, power and progress.
This shows what has been accomplished but
the following appeal is not less significant of the
work yet before
. For the sake of the bleeding and desolaed
/ S0uth-to shorten this terrible war-to restore
order and quiet in the land, and to uphold our
noble National ediice, | would implore you
and all other Union men, to speak no word
of peace to my Southern brethren, save that
which thundcrs from the mouth of every cannon,
or flashes from the point of every cleaning
sword. Lsay this because know their leaders will
never permit them to yield until their armies are
dispersed in deadly conflict"
As indicative of public opinion in that State,
the General says:
= You would think, if you visited us in Arkan-
sas, that the seat of Aboltionism had been trans
ferred from New England to Arkansas. Our
people have right, God knows, to be sick OF
slavery and they sick of it--oh so sick
They point to the desolated homes devasta-
ted fields, forSaken firesdes and smoking villa
ges, as monuments of slavery. They turn from
it with loathng indescribable."
