WASHINGTON, April 9.-The President to-day,
sent to Congress message enclosing communica-

to the grants of bonds made by acts of Congress in
the years 1850, 1853 and 1856 to the States of Mis-

were conferred, in unfinished condition, it is re-
commended that the time within which they may be
completed be extended for period of five years.

EDITOR Nxws:-We have some favor
able news Of our Mint. The plans were
sent some two weeks since, and no doubt
will arrive on the next steamer. We,
therefore, can look with considerable GER
tainty to the commencement Of the build
ing in June next.
The old Monitor Mill, west Of our town,
has Just contracted to cut 100000 feet Of
lumber for parties in your town, and
Messrs. Perkins and Treadway have con-
tracted to deliver it at Empire City. An
other mill near by, has another contract
nearly equal to the above. So you will
see that the people Of Carson are some on
the old saw.
With the addition Of the two fumes
which are to be built this summer-on
from above Woodford's to Empire, the
other from the head of Clear Creek to En-
pire, both for the purpose Of floating
wood for your market-Carson will be
made quite q lively place; and even our
citizens begin to feel that Carson is really
q Montana for business. aN
On these expectations Tor something
else), . new paper will be started here on
next Monday, the l4th. What its politi-
cal features will be no one here has yet
been able to sabe or even guess what its
cognomen will be. But be assured that 1t
will not be Secesh. McElwain Is said to
be the proprietor. PrNs-NuT.

The weather for the last three days has
been stormy and cold, but little snow has
fallen, however. The prospect as I write
Is favorable for a clear up. The snow is,
on an average, three and q half to four
fee. deep, and should it come fair again, q
few days will suffice to clear the remain
der Of the snow away. In the vicinity OF
the Yuba river the now is all gone, and
considerable prospecting is being done,
with good results, several rich lodges hav-
ing been struck. Some rich discoveries
have also been made within q few weeks
past, about ten miles west Of this place.
In short, things are beginning to look up,
and no doubt a few weeks hence will find
US with our hands full Of business.

Cbinaman murdercd-Arrcst Of His
auDposed Murderor-A Serious mis-.
take-Probable Death.
SACRAMENTO, May ssh.-on Saturday
evening last, a Chinaman was murdered
at the Lexington House, near Folsom by
a white man, whose object was robbery.
The murderer entered the cabin in which
were five or six Cinnamon, and COM
menced to tie their queues together for the
purpos. Of preventing them from inter-
ferine with him. While searching the
premises Of the Cinnamon resisted,
when the robber stabbed him in the neck
with a knife, cutting the jugular vein.
He also wounded another n OF the
party very severely. The man who was
frs. injured loon died. 1t is supposed
that there were other white men on the
outside Of the building. A man named
W. Williams was subsequently, arrested in
Folsom, on suspicion, but the evidence on
the examination failed to connect him
with the murder. He was, however, com.
mitted by Justice Quigley to twenty-five
days imprisonment in the county Jail, for
carrying a concealed weapon, and was
brought to this city yesterday. During
the struggle in the cabin Of the Cinnamon
the murderer was struck with q shovel
and knocked down, but managed to make
his escape, taking with him twelve or
fourteen dollars worth Of gold dust.
At six o'clock on Sunday evening, DR..
J. A. Burns, proprietor of the water cure
establishment, at Seventh and L streets,
drank, by mistake, q quantity Of sulphurie
acid, from the effects Of which 1t is feared
his life may be sacrificed. A quantity Of
acid in solution had been left in a tumbler,
which he drank, suppos,ng it to be water,
He at once took such antidotes as were
most easily obtained. His condition il
still critical.
