It will probably adjourn to day. David Winfield, who was injured o cou pic of weeks since by being thrown from liis horse nnd run over by his wagon, is recovering, under the careful treatment of Dr. Thompson.

R,t.N The heavy rains nnd lowering clouds of this week nro calculated to make our dry-gulch miner look hopeful. Not so, however, with us poor denizens of town, wIki are so unfortunate as to be without lire wood. Wiscly'a War Diorama and Dissolving Views will be exhibited nt the- U. S. Ho tel, on Monday and Tuesday evenings next. If we may believe tho highly flattering encomiums of the Press, it is nn opportun ity for witnessing a splendid and rare ex hibition. i .. IIuor Si'i'iH. Messrs. Ray & Billipps, who combiiiQ agricultural pursuits with mining, on Jackass Creek, sent in a couple of the largest pntntoes thut were ever r.i'scd outside of Old Ireland, just by way of letting us know that " honest miners " cun thrive on that creek, even In the dry est season. (joi.d Fish. Tho first and only living pold-Ji-.il ever Fecn in this country were lirousht up lutcly from San Francisco by Mr. K. 0. Sessions, and can bo seen, swim ming in gla8 globes, filled with water, nt the store of Uradbury & Wade. They at tract considerable attention, especially from the Indies. i ii .ii RliMOVlto AND CONSOMDATKI). Mr. Henry Jtidgo nnd Mr. Zimmerman, har ness makers nnd saddlers, have formed a copartnership, Consolidated their business, nnd moved their stocks into tho new store in Ryan's new brick building, recently fit ted up expressly for them. They havo a largo lot of new saddlery nnd harness from S.ui Francisco, to which, by their own work, they are making additions. Ex pressing their obligations for former pat innage, they extend an invitation to the public generally to call on them for any thing that may be wanted in their line of business. Give them a call. A Man Stamikd. On Saturday lost nn nlTrny occurred on Jackson creek, in which Charles Rand was severely stabbed with a knife, by Capt. Thomas Hallard. Captain Hallard, immediately after tho occurrence, came to town and delivered himself up to the authorities. Ho was this week exam ined before tho Grnnd Jury and discharged, it being clear that the act was done in self defonso nnd entirely justifiable. The wounded man is in a very critical condi tion. Dr. Thompson who is a-wnUiog up. on him says tho wound, which is in tho left side, immediately below tho ribs, may prove futu'. $ Mr. Jacob Ish has rushed into print, in T'Vault Confederate organ, to deny a statement Incidentally published by us sev eral weeks since, that Mnj. Glenn had held a mortgage on the Ish farm. This state ment was made in nn nrticle in which we charged that the Ish Uro's, notorious se cessionists, were favored by tho contractor with the exclusive privilege of furnishing hiy and oats for Co. C." 0. V. Abe Lincoln's minions ; and that that privi lege wus costing the Government nboul one-third more than it would if tho usual competition was ollowed. Wo hnd no in tention of injuring tho credit of Ish Bro's by saying that Mnj. Glenn held a mortgage on their farm. It would have answered ns well our purpose, as stntcd above, to have said that Mr. Glenn had nn order (ns wo have been informed ho had) on Ish DroV. It is mere quibble ; the charge we have mode still stands, undeniable. Wo rc-nsscrt, what Mr. Jacob Ish has not denied, that Horace Ish, understood to have been interested in producing liny and oats for Co., " 0," is generally believed by the loyal peoplo in this community who best know him, to hnvc gono to assist his friends In " fighting for their rights." And there is reasonable grounds for tho belief. He is known as n generous, open-hearted man of high-strung temper. His early associa tions in the South, and his life-long preju dices against the North, lends him to deep ly sympathize with the South, in their grievous snfTerings, and to desire to assist them In their mnd designs. From our own knowledge of Horace Ish, wo believe lie would rather die in the front ranks of tho Confederate army than livo in opnlcncc In the Northern States. In that ho is to be admired over the sneuking Copperheads who, while fattening tfon tho bounty of our Government, are covertly doing all they can to embarrass it in its struggle fur na tional unity, and pusillanlmonsly whining of Abolition tyranny. Mr. Ish, in his communication, uses the language nnd style peculiar to the " chiv alry." Denunciation and invective com prises thrcc-fouths of it. While we nro perfectly careless of hid personal opinion of us, we always hope to deserve nnd re ceive the fiercest anathemas from him and his Confederate kind. Corrun is Joskpiiink County. For n number of years it has been known thai there were good indications of rich copper lends in certain portions of our neighbor ing county of Josephine, but owing to the foreseen difficulty and cost of transporting the ore to Crescent City, very little atten tion was given to searching for and devel oping lead. A correspondent informs us that tho peoplo of Josephine nto sanguine that copper mining is destined to become a lending interest with them. About three mouths ago, Dr. F. d' Henry and Mr, John Simms, oi San Francisco, well ac quainted with the copper business, and having full knowledge of the almost incred ible wealth contained in a well defined copper lead, went to Josephine to prospect. Alter examination, they purchased a large claim of this ininerul, near Waldo. They went systematically to work to devclope their claim, and havo been rewarded by tho discovery of threo exceedingly rich veins, bearing from 20 to 90 per cent, of copper. The main vein is four ftct under ground ; fourteen feet wide, of solid, com pact nnd fine sulphurets of copper, well walled. In tho opinion of competent men, this mine will be tho rival, if not tho su perior, of the famous Union mine, of Gal verns county, Cal. Dr. d' Henry, the Su perintendent, intends, next Spring, to erect works to concentrate tho ore. Tho mine will bo known under the title of the " Queen of Uronze." In consequence of this dicovery, there is quite a copper mania, and a number have expressed a desire to invest in the feet of the Queen of Bronze, but tho proprietor will not sell uny shares ; but it is confident ly expected tho continuation of that nud other leads will be found, offering induce ments for tho investments of capital. Undoubtedly the development of the copper interest will greatly increase and improve general business in Josephine, and enhance the value of property. Wo have fine specimens from tho Queen of Bronze mint, which cun be seen at this office. .. . . The Jacksonville Turn Yerlen have ichanged their regular night of meeting in Monday and Thursday of each week. Kxerciseo commenc? nt eight y, m. ScHoof, Exhibition. -The Court Room as crowded to overflowing on Saturday right lust, to witness the exercises of the fermile school exhibition. An exceedingly pretty picture and pleasing to look upon were the scho lars, ns they took their po sition upon ihc stngc. Ages from tho bright, mischievious little Miss of five sum mers op to tho fnir, blushing mnid of " sweet sixteen " were represented, and all were bewitchingly pretty. Tho exercises commenced after n prnyer by Rev. P. M. Starr, by the scholars, with the appro priate song of We're a Happy Band of Children." Then followed addresses, com positions, declamations, etc. Tito escrciscs elicited n great deal of admiration nnd up- plause. The young Indies exhibited marked improvement In that elegant nnd most use ful accomplishment, correct, fluent rending, though nt times their voices were drowned by the mmit of" crowing babies" in the audience. The patriotic song of the ' Bat. tic cry of Freedom," was well sung by the school, nnd rnpturou9ly applauded by the audience. To add to the interest of tho exhibition the parlor charade, "StngcStuck," "Bride groom," nnil " Mad-Cap," had been stud ied by tho Misses, assisted by young gen tlemen of our town. These were introduc ed, but with the exception of Mad-Cop," it was evidont that the players had not iriven that attention they should have gW- en, to render tho plnvs with credit to them selves. However, tho nndiencc heartily colored the blunders mnde, nnd possibly en joyed them as well as if rendered in good style. Altogether tho rendering of the whole programo of the school exercises were very creditable to tho teacher and scholars, nnd gave great satisfaction and pleasure to the large audience. -T Wine. Mr. David Stearns, tliis week, gave us n bottle of wine, manufactured from grapes raised on his farm, looated nenr Phanix. in tlilH county. Tho wine was of fine flavor, nnd wo havo no doubt it will so improve with time as to compare favorably with the best of " Sparkling Catawba" or "California Wine." It wns made from tho following named varieties of grapes Black llumburg, Black Prince, Muscat and Fontnino Nang. Tho whole prodrfet is about 2f0 gallons. Mr. Stearns says ho does not know what the profits of this first experiment will amount to, but is satisfied that they will bo satisfactory, and is confident that next yenr he can mnko it pay handsomely. It is with pleas ure we record the sflcwss of this first at tempt to mnko wine from grapes in our Valley. It has demonstrated that tho soil and cllmnto of our valley nro admirably adapted for the production of wine-making' grapes. In no portion of California is the grape-vine more productive, or tho quality of tho fruit better. Tub Railroad. Mr. Barry, Ass't En gineer of O.il. and Columbia River Rail road, and Mr. Geo. 1. Funk, of this place, being duly authorized, will next week canvass tho valley to collect and receipt for subscriptions to the survey. Wo hope they will be met with a generous liberality, for it is of more vital importunes to our valley that this road should bo built than to any other section through which it is to pass. Mr. Elliott started from this place, Friday morning for Marysville, where he will finish his map?, nuko out his report, and then proceed without delay to the East, to Iny his plans before those who can, and we hopo wi'l, through influence nnd money, build tho road. Lot each person who intends making this valley his home, give something. c Classes are being formed in Jacksonville nnd Ashland for the study of the science of Elocution, under tho tutelage of Rev. E. Arnold, now residing at Fort Jones, Cul. If the classes nro filled, which we hopo will bo tho case, Mr. Arnold, in ad dition to his instructions to tho class, will deliver a course of fifteen public lectures, which, from the well-known talents of the lecturer, cannot fail to bo instructive and entertaining. - - -!- ! I I - Caiiiiaok IIkads. Mr. Applcgato pre sented us witli some fine cabbages. One of these, especially, in our estimation, is of the very largest size, tho plant weighing 3(5 pounds, and the head measuring 13 inches in diameter. A hnlf dozen of theso cabbage heads weigh as follows, flfi, 22, 27, 20, 20, 20 117. They were raied upon his Ashland farm. Can any one do butler? Mulish. Mules and facts are said to bo stubborn things, nnd when taken collect ively form one of the most unyoaldlojr com binations possible. This has been cleariy demonstrated in tho celebrated suit of McWillls tw. Taylor, alias "Tho Mule Cose," which has been in court near two years. This else camo on to bo heard Inst Tuesday, anil occupied nearly the whole day. Tho jury wns out until Wednesday night, when Judge Prim, being satisfied that they could not agree, discharged them. This id the third jury that has been dis charged on tills case, withottt n verdict. We publish In this paper an article commenting on a cnmmtinication by Mr. Channcey Nye, published two weeks since. The writer is known to have traveled over the Honey Lake route this summer, and we understand, is well acquainted with the Emigrant Road. As to tho location of the Fort, wo think tho present winter will determine whether it is o suitable one or not. In the mcnntlmc, however, If our friends think they can settle the matter through newspupcr communications, our columns, to a limited extent, nrc ut thoir service. The " California Wine, Wool nnd Stock Journal" for November, hos come to hnnd. As the tlllo Indicates tills journal is intend ed to promote the rapidly-growing inter ests of grope and wool-growing and the raising or stock. These should be leading Interests in Southern Oregon. Our people cannot reasonably hope to prosper if they are neglected. We therefore commend the above named journal to our farmers, for its lessons cannot fail of profit. Published monthly, by J. Q.
