One of the dredging machines has got to work in one of the rivers, and the reault of its operations was eld of one hundred dollars per hour. The quartz mining ered have also been prosecuted with vigor and success. Some of the veins are rich be- yond all previous calculation. One of these veins at Nevada was sold for $136,000, and the purchaser, in a few days thereafter, had taken out $14,000, and dirt ready ‘for washing which would yield $20,000 more. ‘he machinery is very expensive, and those holding rich claims, not poseessing the means to purchase it, get even, by selling the rock to the ma- chinery owners. ‘The price of gold dust has appreciated from six- teen to seventeen dollars. This was brought about ae establishment ofthe government assay office, which was monopolizing all the dust, and compelled the principal bankers to come into the market at seventeen dollars. : ‘Phe Legisiature has been doing some good things sinee our last dates, chief among which, is the ua- conditional repeal of the foreign miner's tax. It has, also, done something about the title to water lots in San Francisco, which gives the press of that city great joy—and, therefore, we suppose it is all | right. As we do not understand the merits of the | enactment, we have no opinion of our owa upon the { matter. Another thing the Legislatare has done, is to x the penalty of death, in the discrimination of | the to that of grand larceny, whieh, in Cali- fornia, consists in sterling property worth more than fifty dollars. As a preventive measure, this may be good—as one of justice or progress, it is questionable. ‘The best bews of all by this arrival, ia that the Indian affairs of the country are in a more satisfre- tory state than they have ever heretofore been.

Three measares of great importance, but of very differont import, have become laws since then. Ore of them is that ner’s Tax Law.” This conception, unpopular in its execution, and ous in its effects. ‘The evil influences it has had upon the prosperity and prospects of this State have been incalculable. It drove out of the coun- | try not less than from twenty to thirty thousand Mexicans, Chilians, &c., who were adding much to | the productiveness of the mines and consequent — prosperity of the State.

Another measure is that relative to the water lots in this city, which have so long been a source | of inquietude, and the uncertainty of the titles to | which had been a cause of great depreciation in | their value, and a check to the improvement of the city. ‘This having become a law, places, so far as the State can do, these titles on a drm foundation. Its effect bas already been visible in the city, and has nan improved tone to business and to the credit of the city. ‘The third measure is one familiarly known as the “hang law.” It affixes the penalty of death, in the discrimination of the jury, to the offepee of grand larceny, which here consists in stealing property worth more than fifty dollars. S 1s progress backwards towards the dark ages. ¢ adoption of this Draconian policy is justified by the representa- tives trom the mining counties (who foreed its pas- sage), by the argument tha: horse stesling and other robberies are so frequent, and prisous 0° laces of safe keeping so scarce, that tue poople had ecome exasperated beyond endurance dy the im- punity with which the offences were committed, and would now inflict death oa the perpetrators without law, sooner than they should escape. Tt 4 therefore wished that if death were to be inflicted, it should b> in pursuance of law, rather than in violation of it, the constant practice of which would beget a contempt and disregard for all law.

Then ott aotiuee car of immense size, loaded down with lighted can- delabras, mirrors, vases of flowers. On this car was a representation of the sepulchre, fashioned aceording to the most authentic account of Jewish hbtory. A full-length figure of Christ could be seen through the door of the sepulchre, and as it was borne th: h the streets by about forty stout men, the people from the balconies showered flowers aad rrrtakiea perfumed waters upon it. | Polowieg the car of the sepulchre were per- haps a hundred mon of tho ** National Guard,” of all shades and colors, with trailed arms, and dressed in as many hues as there are hues to the rainbow. Some of them wore shoes, somo boots, some black hats, andsome white, and alto- ether would have eclipsed any regimont which tho fertile mind of Shakspeare ever embodied. Bat they marched with a slow and solemn pace, to so mournful music, and, although their uniform was unique, it excited anything but ridicule even among the Americans, who were spectators of the scene. We do think, however, that there is but little ex- cuse for parading men in Panama in such ancouth habiliments. A third car bore a full-length figure of John the Beloved, robed in green and purple vel- vet. ‘The last car, borne by a dozen men, repre- sented the figure of the Virgin Ma nd was pre- ceded by about fifty Spanish ladies, elegantly dressed in black, with lighted tapers in their hands. ‘Then came a multitude, each person having a lighted torch in his hand, and their faces all bear- ing evidence of the solemn feelings which possessed them. ‘The procession marched through the principal streets, and at half-past eleven, haitedin the Plaza, where, after the chanting of prayers, and some other ceremouies which we did nos exactly under- stand, separated and went quietly to their homes.

From Panama, where the gre rican mail lines from Oregon to Calitorni: the Atlantic States, unite, to th ports above referred to, the only stated conveyance is that maintained by the Lritish government in the Panama and Valparaiso steamship line. With the authorities controlling that line, we learn that Mr. vbbie hos devised his arrangements; that they imple and effectual, and can be put in immedi- Ate operation, as soon as sanctioned by the head of the departin he hasmade a fall report. At present, and heretofore, a letter froin the United States to the Pacific ports cannot be sent through, unless there be an agent of the writer at Panama to pay the posta He must take the letter out of the mail bere aud place it in the mail for Valpa- raise, otherwise it will remain in the otlice here, until it is at lost or destroyed with the other dead letters.

In the political world nothing of any consequence bas tranepired during the month, and peace and prosperity are the fruits of a etable aud energetic government. The Chambers are not sitting, and consequently no decrees of any importance have been issaed. ‘The all-absorbing question is the approaching pe sidential election. The press and partisans of S. 1D, Manuel Montt, General Cruz, and Rs Errazuris, are, ofcourse, each praising up their respective candidate, and it is difficult to decides hearing and reading their arguments, who is most worthy of filling the presidential chair. The Re eed of opinions, however, are in fayor of Sr. D. Manuel Montt.
