THE CURIOSITIES OF CALIFORNIA MINING Nuws, &e., Ke., ke., Interesting Mining Intelligence. [From the San Franclace Herald, Mave 15.) Our friend, Mr. Towle has just arrived in town vom Rich Bar, onthe North Fork of Feather River, 170 wiles above this city. Mr. T. first encountered ‘now at the Ohio Ranch, twenty miles below Rich Bar. During the late sain in this valley, much ‘more snow fell on the ridges of Feather river than for the previous three months, and the trails were pom ger obliterated. There was an average of two feet of snow between Ohio Ranch the bar. The miners upon Smith’s bar have been favored with extraordinary success in their la- dors lately. Our informant saw a party of five men take out eight pounds of gold one morning, all of which was Very coarse, many lump: weighing over ‘an ounce, and none less than three or four grains. ‘The earth contains little gold ; it is mostly found in the crevices in the bed rock which is about ten feet below the surface of the ground. Within the last ‘month, an immense number of immigrants have loca- ted themselves upon this and there are nowover a sons in that vicinity. The diggings upon i far are generally not ver good, andthe miners are only awaiting Warm weather to push up to the sources of the streams. A Mr. Lawson has been mining during the winter 25 miles above this point, and has bad in his employ a number of Indians. It is said that he has taken out a great deal of money, but he himself has not left his quarters for the set- tlements, having packed up sutticient pro the fall to support his party until he wishes turn, The India and perfectly inotfe sive, resembling s on the branches the American River. lays previous to the departure of Mr. Towle, a large train of pack-m came through to Rich Bar, and provisions which les had previously been selling for $1 peep and, could ve bonght for half tbat sum. ‘The arrival e, as the stock on the s wa ‘was very opportune, nearly exhausted, little having last fall. No damming operations are contemplated on these bars, as the ledges of rocks along the river render the cutting of races impracticable. The tide of emigration is even flowing up the rivers and before the summer is completed, we may hear of the Sierra Nevada itself yielding up its rich deposits to the enterprise of the adventurous miner. b en sent in since Moquelumne Hill. FOREIGN MINERS’ TAX—RICH DIGGINGS—TERRIBLE RETRIBUTION. [From the Stockton Times. \ h 12) ‘Within the past few days we have paid a visi the mines on the Calaveras and Moquelumne rivers, where it has been attempted to _re-impose the For- eign Miners’ Tax. As we anticipated, the same feeling animates the communi that which in- jired it last summer, under similar circumstances. re isa universal sentiment of disapprobation ef the law itself, anda strong disgust expressed at those who were party to its re-enactment. Amongst all classes, this sentiment obtains. The collectors are highly respectable men, and while their office is the object of general reprehension, the men are much respected; although, from what we learned eftheir mode of collecting the taxes, we do not think it is the most judicious, prudent, or generous. practice is sharp, summary, and unkind. They demand the tax of some poor fellow, and for the simple offence of not having the money in his pos- session, he is deprived of bis tools, the only means he has for obtaining bread for himself, or food for bag er of the State officers. e Indians in the neighborhood are the tribes under Jose Jesus and Captain Charley, two cele- | Drated braves, and are generally quiet. The two ehieftains had a quarrel the other day, when under under the influence of intoxicating liquors. Jesus received a stab from the knife of his antagonist ; and it is expected that so soon as the former reco- vers, he will lead his warriors against the notorious Charley. A terrible retribution is now going on. The brothers of Mr. Kirk, of the averas, murdered the other day,have vowed vengeance it the tribe to which they belong. Two In- dians have already been shot ; 1 emisaries hay Deen sent to the rancheria of Jesus, on the Stani aus, with instructions to deliver up the offenders. From what we have learned of the character of this ehieftain, we have reason to believe that they will Be given up. (n Saturday last, we saw men ga- wg from all quarters to join the expedition. Their point of rendezvous was the Mountain Gate, where, as we passed, a large number of rifles had already collected. We trust that in this affair, _Ustice will be tempered with merey. At the Mountain Gate we were informed of a re- markable instance of the attachment of a dog to his master. Jt appears that at the time Mr. Kirk was murdered he had a dog with him. The Spanish boy fied immediately he saw » but the faith- ful dog remained, and w: and a, the body, twenty-four hours after hirk’s by the brothers, although the Indians had grounded the animal inthe foot with an arrow. ‘The oo creature howled piteously whed he was Perhaps some of the richest diggings in the Southern mines have been found at Moquelumne Hill; they were the first which were worked, and yet freeh discoveries are being made daily. Any man who works steadily may carn in the gulehes surrounding the town, from = to $8 perday. We ‘Were witness of the fact, and therefore are satistied of the truth of the statement. New diggings have been discovered on the top of a hill, some one thou- sand four hundred feet above the bed of the river, where extraordinary “ big licks” have been made. We raw numbers taking out two and three dollars to the panfull at thix spot. New and very rich diggings have also just been found near to San Andres. These facts are suffi cient answer to the ridiculous supposit entertained by many, that the placers are being ex- hausted. The diggings in the neighborhood of M Jumne Hill will be rich for a century to come. At the Hig Bar, a large number of persons are at work, and some ingenious soutrivances for rais ‘water are adopted by the miners. One, in parti- cular, attracts our attention. Five men keep two Jong-toms in continual operation by means of a hose pearly a hundred feet in th, stretching inte the river.

What they have done has been in self-defence, and in behalf of the constitution andthe laws.” But our New York friends may be over eager in their anticipations, The Herald says it “will not be surprised to find that, in the The Alta California, of the 6th ult., says:—Some time since a Chinese woman, named Atoy, aged twenty-four years, left her husband, Atchoung,who resides in Hon, Kong, and came to this golden land, where she hen hear iving, it appears, in a free and easy style, greatly to the sorrow and reproach of our large, honest and industrious class of Chinese citizens. A letter was received a short time since by Hon. Mr. Woodworth, Chinese Mandarin in California, from Atchoung, informing him that he had conferred with the church authorities in Hong Kong, who had sent an order for the return of Atoy to her liege lord. ‘The money is ready here, in the hands of the Chinese citizens, to pay her passage back to her native country, and they have address- ed a representation to the citizens of San Francis- co, setting forth the facts above stated, and praying that they may be allowed to return Atoy to her country and her duties as a wife. ‘They have also t t applied to the authorities, requesting, in conformi- | course of the ensuing summer, from twenty to thir- ty with Chinese custom, that they should issue an % per cent of the capital of Boston has been with- ir ‘awn from that city and invested in New York.” Peshaps the Herald'will find, that the South is not disregardful of the signs of the times in the great State of New York. ‘The South will remark that, atthe height of the excitement here in regard to Simms, a letter from Senator Seward came like a bomb-shell into the Union camp. The South will also remark that if the Boston Board of Aldermen have refused Fanueil Hall to Mr, Webster, the New York Legislature have negatived a proposi- tion for him to address that body. But heaven forbid that we should wish that New York might be made to share in any disasters that may be in reserve for Boston. Our shoulders are broad, and we can bearmuch. Inealculable injury has undoubtedly been done, with no good result, present or prospective. But we have no fear that the anticipations of our New York contemporaries will be realized. In the meantime, let every friend of the Union, whether North or South, labor to do away with every remaining cause for exasperation, discontent and retaliatory war. If we will but faithfully observe our duties under the constitution and the laws, peace and friendship may yet be restored. It is greatly to be regretted, under the circum- stances alluded to above, that Mr. Webster could not have bad a hearing at Faneuil Hall. His re- marks, carried as they would have been on light- order for her return. This he refused to do, and now all they ask is that there should be no interfer- ence on the part of the authorities in the matter.
