The editor Of the st. Johns Democrat

suggested to him that he was talking too
loud and too free, anil that it would be
quite as well for the party if he would be
little more careful where he applies his
scalpe. He "don', scare good" however,
and replies as follows:

The large quantity we supply for dollar brings it

other ever discovered for the speedy and certain
cure of Intermittents is that II contains Quinine
or mineral, consequently it produces quinism or
other injurious effects whatever upon the eonstitu-
ton. Those cured by it are left as healthy as if
they had never had the disease.


Fever and Aglle is not alone the consequence of
the Hliasmate poison. A great variety Of disorders
arise from its irritation, among which are Neural
gia, Rheumatism, Gout Headache, Blindness,
Toothache Earache, Catarrh, Asthma, Pal.itation,
Painful Affection of the Spleen Mysteries, Pain in
the Bowels Collie, Paralysis, and Derangement of
the Stomach, all of which, when originating in
this cause, put on the intermittent type or become
periodical. This "CURE " expels the poison from
the blood, and consequently cures them all alike.

KNIcnTs LANDING NEws-We are much
pleased with the appearance of this sheet
Just re.started at Knights Landing. on the
line of the San Francisco and Marysyille
Railroad The tore of the paper is sensible
and manly. While the public are eandidly
informed of the difficulties which attend the
enterprise. they are frankly called upon to
lend their assistance to it for the sake of for
wardng their own interests. In any other
country than California snch an appeal would
not be made in vain, and we hardly think it
will be here. In the salutatory of the editor
and proprietor, Mr. s W. Raveley, we find
the following very truthful observations:


There are those in every country and in
all communities who predict failure in eve.
ry thing of public concern; they are ALWAYS
apprehensive that there is something wrong.
they don believe that the railroad will be
built, they don't think it will ever rain again.
and if it should rain for twenty four hours
they become fearful of deuge-thev don't
believe the river will ever rise again, but it
does when the proper season comes, and then
they are apprehensye of an overflow-there
will not be q foot of dry land between the
foot hills of the Sierras and the coast range
Andif they geta little sick they don't think
they will ever get well again. To all such
croakers we cay discharge your duty faith-

try, patronize all institutions (this paper in.
cluded) that have for their end the betterinr

our race, and whether or not YOUR many
other predictions be fulfilled, your conscience
will be at ease


1t does not necessarily follow that because
unsuccessful attempts to sustain paper in
olo county have heretofore been made that
this should also fail were this logical con-
clusion it might be a difficult matter to ac-
count for the successful achievement of some
OF the most noble as the most useful enter
prises that have blessed our race.


We cannot believe that the people of Yo

a newspaper within her borders. The rapid

The MINES OF WEsTERS UTAm.-Since the
discovery of rich mines of gold upon the
eastern slope of the Sierra, it has been evil
dent that an excitement would follow, and
thousands of people would make their way
thither. If such would be the consequence
of the discoveries first made how intense
must be the excitement. and how vast must
be the migration following the reports oi
such fabulous wealth as is now found in that
region. The experience Of the past shows
us the eXcitable nature of our people, ready
to brave any danger, or penetrate any will
derness, if there is any hope of finding mines
of the precious metals We have seen them
going off by thousands to Gold Bluffs, Kern
and Frazer rivers, their hopes founded upon
exaggerated stories by interested parties,
and their places of destination so distant,
that it took months to ascertain the truth OF
the reports, while the expense of going and
returning were generally ruinous to the ad-
venturer. The recent discoveries present an
entirely new feature; they are in a country
contiguous to California, their wealth is
proven, and it is we'll known that numerous
ledges of quartz exist throughout the Utah
Basin. Since the announcement of the dis
coveries of gold and siver, copper has been
found in abundance, also cinnabar, coal, iron
DC. Undoubtedly many other valuable min
erals exist, which would require the geolo-
gist or mineralogist to point out. These
mines will, at some future time, be developed,
and their riches added to the wealth of the
world The effect of these discoveries upon
California will be to give new life to every
branch of business, and permanent and
rising value to its property. A new State
will probably soon be formed npon our bor-
der, whose entire supplies Of necessities, lux
uries, mining implements and machinery
must he taken from this State-PiacerViHe
