Base ball has not made fialf the
sensation this year that it did last,
and probably next year will have
fallen still more into the background.
The same can be said Of croquet and
cricket, and new sensational out

energies of small amateur athletics.

Let every reader of the Journal
peruse the following remarks of Sen
ator MORTON, and show it to his
neighbor:-


"Now, the New York platform upon which
Mr.. Seymour and Blair stand as candidates,
declares that those reconstruction laws are
Revolutionary, unconstitutional and void
Have you considered what is the full effect
and purpose of that language? If these acts
are revolutionary, unconstitutional and void,
nobody is bound to obey them. 1t is the
right of every man to resist them, and he
would 90 free of punishment finally. That
ia what they inculcate as the result of the law
that is unconstitutional and void, and, there
fore, these new State governments that have
been erected in the South are of no validity,
and people are not bound to yield them obe-
dience, not bound to stand by them. The
colored men, whose rights are protected by
them, thereby obtain no protection and Sc
curity. That is the declaration of the New
York platform, and it INVOLVES war in itself.
1t gives the people of the South to understand
that those reconstruction laws are unconsti-
tutional; that these governments shall not be
maintained, but overthrown; and that the
control of all the rebel States should be re-
turned to the rebels themselves. In other
words, it is the loss of all we have done. The
men that Wayne County has lost in the re-
bellion, are lost in vain. The five thousand
million dollars we have expended to put down
the rebellion haye been expended in vain
If this thing comes about. all is lost. Ten
thousand times better had we let these States
60 in the beginning, and said. as Democratic
| leaders have said heretofore, "Let them go
in peace;" let the Union be destroyed. and a
new confederacy he erected, the chief corner
stone of which is slavery. We have gone
through the war; we have suffered It's losses
and its fearful waste of treasure; millions of
households have been made sad, and millions
of hearts have been made to bleed, but we
are in position to lose it all if We fail in
this election.

Oh Saturday last, as dozen or more of
our citizens were in the Jail inspecting the
hole through which the prisoners made their
escape, one of the number quietly slipped
out, locked the balance in and carried the
Ikeys down town. There was no help for it;
after cursing. threatening and imploring.
until they got tired, without avail, the whole
posse of whilom prisoners were forced to
get out through the hole in the ceiling, Ia
failon and Ferguson. We are of the opin-
Ion that the most of them were very FORUM
ate indeed to get out in the manner they did.
Were it not for the fact that Justice is blind,
we very much doubt whether all of them

MoKELUMNE HILL, Feb. 18th, 1868.
Mr. EDITOR Hearing SO many remarks
as to the relative value of our quartz veins,
east and west of this town, have concluded
that description of the mines on the diff
ferent ranges would not be uninteresting to
your readers: 1 begin with Lower Rich
Gulch, the Western and Mother lead, $50
called.) On this vein the locations are too
numerous to mention in detail, and I will
therefore confne myself to those that are in
active operation. The Palomo Mine and
Mill, being the first on the ravine as you de-
scend the hill, deserves mention. The mine.
as yet, is undeveloped, but gives promise of
being one of the first claims in point of value
that is located upon the lead. They are
opening this mine with shaft, the work be-
iEg carried on day and night. The miners
informed me that the vein is seven feet thick,
the rock easily quarried. sufficiently so to
enable them to keep an eight stamp mill con-
stantly running. The work on the mine is
first class, in fact all of the surroundings are
of that character. The mill is the most COM
plete, in structure, that your correspondent
has any knowledge of. The power for
driving the machinery is obtained from an
eight foot Hurdy- -Gurdy. As to grade of
ore asked no questions, but judge from
outside appearances that it is satisfactory to
the owners. The next claim on the lead is
that owned by Alexander, Seavers & Co.
This mine is opened by tunnel running
from the ravine cutting the vein at right
angles at a distance of two hundred feet
from the mouth of the tunnel; this gives two
hundred and twenty feet of back in the mine
The claim is opened in the best manner !;
vein heavy, ranging from six to fourteen feet
in width, room enough on the slopes to work
twenty men if necessary. This company
have ten stamp mill which they keep con-
stantly running with a force of seven men,
all told. in mine and mill. The ore is low
grade, but yields large profit to the owners,
as the expense of mining and milling the
rock is very low compared to other claims
in this vicinity. The next and last claim
under development is owned by Norton &
Co. This claim is being opened by tunnel,
surveyed to be three hundred feet in length,
of which about one third is completed. The
surface developments on this mine are ex-
cellent and it will be but short time, when
the usic of the stamps will be heard pound
ing out the precious metal from this claim.
Good luck to them all.


In my next 1 will visit Sport Hill
and the country east, taking the claims
as see them, or any information I may pick
up in regard to them. Hoping all the time
that some one more able will take up the
theme and publish to the world that there
are as good, if not better chances for invest
ment in the quartz claims of this county as
there is in any other in the State. Yours

Apropos of the discussion thot has arisen
concerning the mismanagemeDt of insane
asylums, and the alleged confinement OF
sane people in them, the New York Oh

by her side, was acoachman--were taking
her, without any just cause to an insane
asylum. thperfcct composure she gave
the name and address of one of her friends
in Brooklyn, requesting some passenger to
inform him of her forcibIe removal to
an insane asylum. She showed her arm,
black with bruises which she said she had
received from violent treatment, and there
were marks Of violent treatment on her
face A gentleman near her took her ad
drest and that of her friend, and assuring
her that he lived in the city to which she
was being taken and that he would see to
it that she should not be unjustly confncd

Not a word was offered in explanation

A gentleman from the neighborhood of
Carthage, Tennessee, gives us some par
ticulars connected with the recent discoy-
cry of robbers cave, on the river bank,
few miles distant from that place, which
have hitherto been published. He says
the discovery was first made by party
of small boys, who were bathing or fishing
on the bank of the river opposite the cave.
Their attention was attracted by seeing
baskets lowered by means of ropes from
the rocks above. When they observed
this, the children concealed themselves,
and patiently watched for further develop


ments. The baskets continued to ascend
and descend. and at last, when night was
nearly at hand, very suipicieus looking
man came out of the cave, got into a bas.
ket and was drawn to the top of the prec


ipice. That night the boys impaired this
information to men in the neighborhood


and early the next morning the place was
bcsieged by persons anxious to learn some
thing further about this most extraordina-
ry place. Most of these persons were
armed and ready for any sort Of wild adj


ventures. Upon removing a pile of old
logs large opening IN the rocks was dis
covered, and into this place party of the
men at once ventured to 60, while Others
remained outside on the watch. Those
who went ia found that the opening led
into an immense cave, OF the existence OF
which nothing was previously kn"wn by
honest people in that locality. This cav
ern the men explored but short distance
until they came TO point which had evi
IDENTIFY been used as human habitation


and, horrible as il may seem, was the home
Of human creature. After finding few
articles Of clothing, some washing uten-
sils, couple of fine bedquilts, i mattress
and three or four old guns, they were star
tied by the groans Of human voice com
ing from dark recess in the cave. &.
The men determined upon sitting the
mystery to its very bottom, went with a
| light in the direction of the sound, and
who can imagine their horror upon finding
the emaciated and almost lifcless form Of
a man, stretched upon heap Of straw,
and securely tied with repes. lie was i'm

Place in an iron kettle two quarts of good
sweet, fresh wood ashes, (not coal ashcs)
and lei il boii for few minutes. Put In a

out the peaches, throwing them immedi-
ately into cold water. Take one in your

The secret Of boiiling fruit successfully
Is not in the quantity Of sugar used, not
the absence of wafer, or in the length OF
fine boilcd-all of which were actual re-
quremcnts in the old fashioned manner of

ing no germ Instrumentation left undesiroy-
ed in the fruit itself, and in the actual ex-
pulsion and exclusion OF the air. Boiling
fruit expands it, and to make room for the
expansion the air must be expelled, and
hermeticaliy sealing the bottles while the
irut is in this heated condition precludes
the possibility Of the air again entering
while the bottle and fruit are cooling.


When quantity of peaches are ready,

COMPLIMENT TO BOSTON ARTISTS - Mrs.
Elizabeth Murray, the accomplished wife of
the British consul at this port, in letter to an
English Art Journal makes the following
mention of two Boston artists:


There are two artists in Boston [she writes1
who stand anrivalled in their separate special
tiles. Even in England there are none to COM
pare with either Mr.. ROwse in crayon portraits
or MIR. Walter Bracket in painting fish; the
former for refinement and beauty in idealizng
portrait, while the likeness is wonderful in
its identity; the latter for the peculiar power
he possesses of embodying the spirit and char
acter of the fish.


Since the death of Mr.. Duffield, the great
painter of still life, we have had no painter
who has attempted in this branch of art what
Mr.. Bracket does, and even Mr.. Duffield does
not so much excel in painting the fish itself as
in. grouping number of picturesque objects
mere accessories. But Mr.. Brackets fish
have that brilliant sparkle and freshness
which is so evanescent, and which soon fades
after the fish is taken out of the water We
presume he must be not only painter but q
devoted fisherman himself or She could not
have the practiced eye or the dexterity to
seize and convey to canvass the glister and
crispiness which we only see


Before decays effacing fingers


Have swept the lines where beauty fingers"


The cold gray rocks and delicate green grass
and few accessories which form the appropri-
ate background to his silveIy fish are quite re-
Ireshing; and we look at his pictures with the
same sense of quiet enjoyment that we do az
the first green buds of spring, and we all
know how delightful that is.
