From the Mine..?
SAN FaANctsco, Aug. 'ht.—The news
from the, mines is somewhat discouraging.
The rivers are yet 'too high to work advanta
geously and the ravines have not dried up.
Companies of miners are at work turning
the rivers throughout the gold region, and
we may expect good reports from them in a
month or so.
Claims on the Tuba river, thirty feet
square have been sold at 2000 dollars.
Murders and Disturbances.
' The troubles at the Southern mines, par
ticularly in the neighborhood of Sonoro, con
tinue. The accounts of murders commit
ted there are frightful, and the end is not
yet come.'
The Mexicans and Chi Hans will be driv
en from the mines, and armed forces 'have
been organized to carry this determination
into effect. At the Mortnon Gulch, all for
eigners have received formal notice to quit
in one week.
The disturbance is traced to the Foreign
Mining Tax imposed by the last Leo islatu re.
The foreigners resisted the payment of the
tax, and when they have good claims they
are given away by individuals who urge the
he non-payment of the tax as an excuse for
their proceedings.
A number of murders and highway rob
beries have been committed by Mexican Gu
errilla bands, and the chief of one band is in
prison.
Business .9/Tairs
The prospect of a very large business
in the city of San Francisco this fall is en
couraging.
Workmen are engaged in grading and
planking the streuts in view of the rainy sea
son. Artesian wells and reservoirs have
been made and a number of fire companies
have been organized. Every thing looks
cheering.
An Eccentric Old Bachelor.
• We find in the New Orleans Picayune of
the 10th ult., a letter dated Woodbridge, N.
Jersey, July 4th; in which we find the fol
lowing singu!ar account - of an eccentric old
bachelor :,
, t.An old bachelor has lately died in this
place,:leavinga fortune of $BO,OOO. From
WhatFlblearn of him' he must have been one

off, were separately folded in papers and
never allowed the sight of a brush, n silk
handkerchief ansrering - every purpose.—
Should he be in the road and spy a wagon
in Ilia distance;' he Would run for his life,
for fear that a speck of 'dust should chance
telly upon him: With all his oddities he
wasomiserly to a cent, ,and often be seen at
the store exchanging a quarter of a dollar
for 25 pennies, thereby saving a copper on
'every 25. These he would not take either,
Without examining every one to see whe
ther it was not bad, yusty or something else.
Many of the articles he bought was by the
• .penny's worth, and hence his great use for
elm coin. When ho came to the last pen
my of his bundle it was wrapped in two pie-
CeS s a paper and laid away.
“Tistiut lived this curious old man, and
winitan .he approached death's door, he was
