Editor Sentinel; The card from myself to the editor of the ,'Times," and to which Mr. George Stephenson refers in your issue of he 30th April, was merely a response to, or acceptance of his own proposition, publicly made; and as he has so soon seen fit to retract it, it is hardly worth while to waste lan guage in the entertainment of another proposition from the shnie source. The difference between"n four-year-old colt that has never had regular training, and an old turf horse with a record of 2:38A, has no doubt been tak en into account by the"" owner of Sir Walter, yet he was careful not to offer the second proposition until he had learned that Altamont's present en gagements absolutely, precluded all opportunity of training him during the coming season. Mr. Stephenson speaks of Altamont's colts as though they were numerous, but the fact is, I have just onej (the producef ja young- filly,) to match against all thflet of Sir JosEPmxn corxTY items.

Allen Crowell, Pastor. m jinty OpULve. Proceedings of the Mr. JMitciiel's Reception. On Thursday last ex-Senator Mitchell passed through Jacksonville on his way to his home in Portland, and was met at the hotel by a number of cit izens and the Brass Band. The recep tion was very unexpected to Mr. Mitchell, who, after the band had played a number of airs, stepped out and thanked his friends for their kind reception, remarking that as he return ed only a private citizen the recogni- eighty miles South of the San Pedro I ton was more highly appreciated. Mr. Don't forgst Alex Martin's He came home the other night, and she smelled his breath; "you rascal," said she, "you've been drinking." "Well," he replied, "that old blue grass of Dillon's is so good I could'nt help it." "0 1 all right," she cried, but for goodness sake don't drink any com mon poison, and I know Dillon don't keepany." Messrs. Zimmerman tfc Frazier, pro prietors of the Ashland foundry, passed up on the stage last Tuesday, on their return from Roseburg, where they intend running in a short time. They informed us that they expected to re move their foundry to Boseburg and be ready to commence work in about six weeks. If the "Mercury's" insinuations that Governor Thayer is selling pardons to convicts be true that gentleman's prac tice in the Penitentiary and Supreme Court combined must be lucrative. It should be rather humiliating to the "Mercury" to confess that this is the whole-essence of the promised Demo cratic reform. We hear that twenty of our citizens belonging to Pochohontas Tribe, ac companied by ten or twelve of their better halves, will be at Yreka on the 12th. As thev go without war paint river, in tho Pima District Taking in with him his brother A. E.

Nine German pros ectors returned on Monday from Silver creek where they cached their provisions, intending to return. They say the water is yet too high for successful-mining. John Bolt still busy in Farris' Gulch with plenty of water and better prospects for a big clean up than last year. J. T. Lay ton is running his pipe continuously in the same gulch. From Mr. Frank Ennis, who has just returned from the English compa ny's claim on Galice creek, wo learn that a large amount of dirt has leen washed and that there will be sufficient water for a month's piping. Blue Gravel has been well worked this Spring, a large amount o? dirt hav ing been moved. The gravel is look ing very favorable for good pay and piping will probably be continued dur ing this month. The claim of Logg & McDonald, on "Jackass," will not be cleaned up this season, a cave having covered up all the washed ground just when the water failed, and it wasjimpossible to wash it out Their dust, however, will be per fectly safe. Mr. Dimick, of Dry diggings, is now engaged in cleaning np after tho Spring Mitchell then said that he felt conscious of having worked with a single purpose while in the Senatcpthatrcf. advancing the material interests of Oregoii-and had tried to do his whole duty without regard to party. He returned now, he said, to resume practice. and to be free from politics for a while, as his own financial interests needed looking after.

They didn't start it, however, but started hack to Jacksonville just ahead of a yelling crowd of men and boys, who heard that they had come to break ground for a Joss lemple in that pious city. Pursued by the an gry crowd the heathen missionaries struck into a rapid trot, dropping bars of soap and other paraphernalia of their calling as they went. This defi ance of the Declaration, tho Constitu tion and the Burlingame treaty is a Western outrage, but it is thought to have been committed by a party of Cal ifornia refugees, bankers and solid men.
