Some companies are making as high as $40 a day to the share; othe:» from $12 to $20, and but very few aro making less half am ounce a day. And yet but comparatively a small portion of the mining ground in this vicinity Is being worked. The Mariposa Chronicle ssya:—From the head of this creek, as far down as Mormon Bar, the miners are doing well.’ We have the average of fourteen different claims, agd it amounts to $1366 per day to the man.

The greatest jnantity of gold taken out im one day was three pounds. the largest lump found weighs mn ounces.

A atreak or vein of quartz runs almost directly from Uarston’s Hill, through Albany Flat, where one of the richest claims ever discovered in California is at present | being worked with astonishing success, and continues through the whole distance, passing the Hawk-Fye | Ranch, Pilkington’s, Forman’s, &c., continuing on some distance west of San Andreas. It is quite percep- tible to any one travelling the road, enough of the quarts a] ‘ing to warrant the su; ‘wetgee that it is one continual vein for a distance of miles. Upon thia general line of quartz have been found diggings of great richness in every one of the above named camps. Middle Fork Company is the name of another of those water companies now in active operation in our county. Tuia company has been formed for the Purpose of bring ing in the waters of the Middle Fork of the Mokelumne river into the rich mining ands in the vicinity of Parka’ Flat, Indian Gulch, ch Gulch, ke., &c., and will be over four miles in length.

The city has been in a feverish condition during the past week, says the Los les Star of the 11th Febru- ary, in consequence of the discovery of gold in the moun- tains near Santa Anita, about cighteen miles distant. The same kind of running to and fro, asking of hurried questions, and uncertain expectancy, has been exhibited which have often been witnessed in northern towns when 8 break has been made for new diggins. Mining imple- ments and camp utensils are indemand. Pack trains and other appliances are seen starting in the direction of the placers. In fact, quite a lively sensation has been cre- | ated. We have seen some of the gold; it is of the grain | variety and very pretty. One gentleman told us he | had travelled over several miles, prospecting with a pan in several and he thinks the surface will yield SONORA. from four cents to the pan. Thi leman is an old miner, and he thinks day may be obtained by washing the surface dirt with a J er, The gold is found at the base of the mountaina, ‘and in the ravines leading into them. At it there fe sufficient water for ers; but much of the dirt has & be carried from a fourth to three-fourths of mile. It is said water for toms and sluices may be obtained by turning the stream of an arroyo near by. A gentleman who came in yesterday says that, with his partner, he washed in one hour the dirt it required two days to heap up, and obtained four and a-half dollars. Others, how: | ever, have done far better than this. There are said to be about one hundred men now on the ground, and more are going. Yesterday there were two | groceries on the spot; and some of our traders have been out, with a view of accommodating the miners. A gen- tlomaa who was out tothe Monte on business found the men all gone in the same direction. The fever has a very interesting and moving form: The discovery of in these mountains is no new thing. It has 2 ow to exist for many years; but it never been found in quantities, and the want of water in the a prevented bap recone developements. Whether the same obstacle will, ina few month closes up the present diggins, remains to be proved; although we are asaured by persons very well acquainted with that | region that the water Is un‘ si i¢ same region was rospected: some ree years since, bat those were the days when it required ounces to satisfy a man’s ambition; but now, when three or four dollars a day are an object, the prospect here re-opened seems to be a bright one. We wish all the diggers suc. | cess in their toll, for we know that, little or much, they earn hardly all the gold they wash out. In 1842 ‘gold was discovered in the mountains near San Fernando, and during two or three years there were at times hundreds of men at work. It is estimated that 40,000 was taken out in those days. The gold was of fine Fler and yielded at the mint over nineteen dol- larstethe ounce. - Miseollancous.

There has been a better jobbing trade to-day, induced by the contemplated advance in freights, and large amounts of goods have gone forward, part on first ac- count, however, and the boats were at an carly hour filled up. From'the hands of importers, very little has been done, the self-evident fact staring every one in the face, that large invoices cannot be disposed of for cash, no matter what the sacrifice. Those who aro compelled to raise funds for the steamer of to-morrow, seem to have waived this source of revenue, and are making other a1 rangement e anticipated advance in freights above alluded to, in based on a combination of steamboat owners—boats plying to the interior—who. it is represented, have formed a joint stock company. The association includes the owners of all this description of tonnage afloat, or now on the way from the Atlantic States. The ostensible ob- ject is, to regulate and lower the rates of freight and passage, but whether such wili be th e result remains to be seen, and the movement to-da) shows that the public os little faith in the public ref vantage to be derived from the combination. It is fair to presume that the movement will immediately increase the smalier sailing tonnage to Sacramento and Stockton, but it is doubtful whether this kind of transportation, | particularly at this season of the year, when the winds are apt to be adverse, can successfully compete, even at low rates, with the steamers, notwithstanding the proba- Dly increased rates of the latter. Itis understood that the new association goes into operation to-morrow. Frovr.—Quite a fair jobbing trade has been done, and at figures which indicate a condition the worse than those lately quoted.

She has no maritime nation in Kur stances is highly » and that there should be found no difficulty whatever in obtaining such a number of American vessels prepared to hoist the Russian, or any other flag, with the rich prospect which an onslaught on the unprotected merchantmen Colonies and the mother country would afford, no one who knows the American character could for an instant doubt. Whilst, however, we admit the probability of Russian ret jt effeeting this object, it appears to understand how American vessels could be fitted out in American ports as privateers, under the Russian flag, destined to act inst Great Britain and France, without directly impl'cating the American government in hostili- ties st those powers, In former wars, when lotters of marque were freely isened, and were considered a legitimate mode of naval armament, the privateers were invariably national yes- sels, entitled by ownership, to bear the flag under which they fought. French and British privateers issued from thelr own harbors, and constituted as it were, a sort of irregular navy of each power. So during the American war, daring spirits on either side, with hope of gain, en- countered each other on the seas and took their prizes, or were captured, according to the fortunes of war. ‘Assuming system of privateering to be in ac- cordance with the spirit of the present times, Russia | Foy red in the event of a war, issue her letters of marque to er mercantile cruisers in the Black Sea and the Bal- tic, with @ view of crippling British and French com- merce, whenever it may be met with unprotected; but when a foreign country, at amity with Great Britain and France, permits her citizens to fit out privateers within for the inter- ruption of the trade of the countries thus at hg d with herself, she to all intents and purposes identifies herself with their purpose, and commits an overt act of hos- tility. Bippoes for a moment that these letters of marque are issued by Russian Ministers in the United States te ves- sols owned by American citizens, and sailing out of Ame- Tiean ports—suppose one of them chased by a British man-of-war, and taking refuge in an American port, could neutrality be pleaded against her capturo, even under the guns of an American port? It is true she hoists a Rus- sian ensign, but she is to all intents and purposes, an American vessel, making war piratically against the com- merce of a people who are in amity with her own govern- ment. She is not a Russian ship, though she hoists the Russian fag, and she cannot pretend to claim as a neu- tral port the oes of a country to which she in fact belongs, and from which she issues as a pirate under false colors. In point of fact the word ‘‘ pirate’’ is the only one which in any manner describes the char- acter of the employment contemplated by the own- ré of American privateers under the Russian flag, and it suggests at the same time the manner in which the people ured in such an outrage on the laws of civilization should be punished. tae American found in a privateer, issuing out of an American port, sailing under the Russian fi pelle loge Me lerapitad smaicg single agrremy tep against a British or French erchant vessel, should as a pirate at tl iret , Possessing adequate jurisdiction try and convict him.’ There must be laws, however, to sanction this; and these laws cannot be sed too soon. But there is still more to be done. fe have no navy whatever in or near this island. We have an old hulk, and now and then a bee Pepe in our harbor; but a Russian fleet, if such a tl ing existed in our seas, might sack the island from one end tothe other. Of this there is, happily, no chance, but if rascally Yankee skip- pers are to be converted into modern, Paul Jones, and we are to be menaced by a piratical force fitted’ out by our Northern neighbors (of course without the knowledge of the government) then the sooner our naval force is placed on @ proper footing the better for British su} y- Half a dozen of our sugar ships migh be picked up befere we in Jamaica actuall: know that war was 35 imed; and where are we to Took low are we to prove the nationality of the vessels that make the capture? The difficulty that suggests itself is as to the condemnation of prizes. Yan- kee pirates, however, would not make much difficulty about this. They would soon find means of disposing of their plunder without troubling admiralty oourts any- where. But the very firat capture of an American ves- sel bearing a Russian letter of marque, and proved to be fitted out in an American port would bring England and France iato direct collision with the United States, and we scarcely believe this to be the policy of the pre- gent government of that country.
