ExlGov. WELLER addressed the would-be
rioters last evening at the Democratic Club
Room. The Governors reason for the late
civil war is on different tack from that of

LETTER From EXCELSIOR.
MEADOW LAKE, April II, 1866.


EDITOR GOLD Hull News Some
time having elapsed since 1 have written
anything for the News, and since my.
thing in regard to this district has 40.
peared in its columns, I will drop you a
few lines to post the people Of Gold Hill
and vicinity in regard to how things look
out here.
In the first place the weather at the
present time is beautiful, with a bright
clea. sky, and air as balmy as summer.
The snow, which ten days ago was from
ten to eleven feet deep, Is now about Ave
feet, and melting away very rapidly.
Many persons are coming in, most of
whom have interests here. The hotels Of
the town are completely filled with people,
and no doubt that within q month there
will not be q place where q stranger can
lay his head, for nearly every house in the
town is occupied the roads are so soft
that teams cannot pass over them even
with an empty sleigh, SO that the chances
for getting in any lumber for building
very soon are rather slim. Judging from
present prospects, the snow will all be
gone by the first week in May. Great
preparations are being made for operations
in the spring in every kind Of business,
especially in mining and milling. Some
half.dozen mills will be built as soon as
the machinery can be got in. The mines
that are being worked this winter are
prospecting exceedingly well, and the
highest hopes are entertained that rich
developments will be made in the spring.
The Empire ledge on which you are for
tunate enough to have a location on, and
which II you will hold on to, you will
realize q fortune from no doubt, for the
Empire stands as one Of the big things of
the district. The California Company.
which is incorporated in your town, and
principally owned there, is at work, and
they are taking out very good ore. Many
other companies are busy at work, and all
are taking out ore for reduction. The
Enterprise Company have better prospects
at the present time than at any time since
the FIRST developments were made on the
mine, the ledge being at the present time
about fourteen feet wide, and composed Of
q finer quality Of ore than was ever before
exposed in this mine /; and should this
continue, the Enterprise will soon lay the
mines Of Nevada in the shade. Yet we
do not think the Enterprise 10 any better
than q great many others in the district.
We understand that a newspaper will
be started here as soon as the material can
be got In from the Dutch Flat road but
as the circulation Of o paper published in
this place will be large, we doubt if the
press they have will be Of sufficient ca
pacity for striking off q daily, as the press
Is one Of the old.fashioned lever presses.
From all appearances, I think that this
district will evidently be one Of the live.
Hest mining camps on the coast during
the summer.
To those who desire coming out here,
we would say they may begin to lay their
plans but not start for three weeks yet.
Yours, AURORA.

ALLEGED CAUSES AND p1FFU-
SION OF CHOLERA.

-
Professor Pet.enkofer, believing in the
contagiousness Of cholera, asserts that the
only indispensable conditions for its exis-
tence are human intercourse yielding the
germ in the excretions or discharges from
cholera patients, and the soil developing
this germ into activity. The qualities oil
the soil considered as necessary for the de-
velopment Of the cholera germ are are:
l. That it be porous, that is, permeaole to
air and water ; 2. That water exist at a
certain depth below the surface ground
water or subsoil water; and, 8. That the
soil be, to some extent, impregnated with
the products Of organic decomposition
especially those having their origin in ex-
crement.
Respecting the first condition, Petsen-
kofer and the members Of the Bavarian
Commission for the investigation OF chol.
era, in 1854, found, without a single ex-
ception, that the soil in the towns n
villages epidemically affected with cholera,
was porous, while localities built on i'm.
permeable rock were either entirely spared,
or, at all events, exhibited only isolated
cases. Several apparent exceptions were,
on close examination, found to confirm
the law. The weil-known researches OF
Fourcault and others are in accordance
with these laws.
With regard to the presence of surface
water, or subsoil Observation-Disclosures
first stratum or vein is reached at q depth
below the surface varying from five to fifty
feet. Pettenkofer points to the fact, gen.
orally acknowledged, that cholera spreads
with preference along the course Of rivers
and low grounds; but he regards the
water of the subsoil, underneath the hab-
itations, as much more important than
that of the more or less distant river. He
maintains that, as . rule, those localities
suffer more from cholera which lie nearer
to the level Of the ground water, the dis.
lance Of which from the surface may be
regarded as depending on the first imper.
meable stratum Of the soil. The level Of
the ground water may vary considerably
in the same year and in different years
and on this fuctuation the varying de-
gree Of susceptibility Of the locality fol
the cholera epidemic seems to depend,
Under equal circumstances the rise Of TIT
ground water will cause a greater suscep.
tibility, by moistening a higher stratum o.
the porous soil, which is generally NOR
impregnated with organic matters the
nearer it is to the surface. II is the pc,
Rod Of receding Of the ground water from
its greatest elevation which is most dan
gerous. As this occurs usually in July
August and September, so cholera COM
monty makes its greatest ravages at tina
period, but the unfayorable condition o.
the soil may, through unusual circum.
stances, occur in winter instead Of in sum.
mer /; and cholera epidemics may, as ex'
perience shows. occur in the midst Of Q
Russian winter. #

liams to one side informed him that he
had inquired into the affairs Of Virginia
city, and discovered that they were in a
horribly bad condition and he advised
Williams, "as a friend" and "if he did
not want to lose his money" to withdraw
his proposition. Williams was persuaded
by Jones to take back his offer. Then in

city Of $4,000, at IRE per cent per month

A SoPHIsr, wishing to puzzle Thales, q
Milesian, n Of the wisest men Of Greece,
proposed to him, in rapid succession, these
difficult questions:
What is the oldest Of all things?
God, because He always existed.
What is the most beautiful?
The world, because it is the work oil
God.
What is the greatest Of all things?
Space, because 1t contains all that il
created.
What is the quickest Of all things?
Thought, because in o moment it can
fay to the end Of the universe.
What is the strongest?
Necessity, because it makes men face all
the dangers Of life.
What is the most difficult
To know yourself. o.. --
What is the most constant Of all things;
Hope, because it still remains with man
after he has lost everything else.
The philosopher replied to them all
without the least hesitation, and with how
much propriety the reader can judge.

CoSeRgss AS A PUBLISHING HOUSE,
If Congress had a few more Chairmen OF
Committees like Mr.. Latin, Of the Print
ing Committee, it would be a good thing
for the country, and especially for the
public treasury. A few days ago 4 reso-
luton was referred to his committee, pro-
viding for the printing Of a large number
of copies of the Patent Office Report Of
1865, which also contemplated the print
ing of similar numbers Of the Reports Of
1864 and 1868. He reported it back to
the House so cut down as to save the
Treasury, in this one item alone, Sl27, 900.
In advocating this reduction Mr.. Latin
referred to the enormous amounts Of
money spent for the public printing,
much Of which is sheer waste. But this
is no. the only bad effect OF the policy.
The vast number Of copies of some Of the
documents interferes with other public
printing. and keeps it all back, so that the
information contained in the reports, ETC.,
if ever useful at all, becomes so stale when
it reaches the public that all its utility is
gone. And again, this extravagant pub
LEGATION of documents by the Government
has contributed to raise the price Of paper
throughout the whole country, making
every man pay more for the newspaper he
does want, because Congress wR print
loads Of matter he don't want. Mr.. Laf-
lin says the Government Printing Office
used, in 1865, one-shirteenth of all the
printing paper produced in the United
States. and that it is now the largest pub
fishing house in the world. It is time
such extravaganza was stopped.
