'txchilTe$j Wdlaate the election cf the Dfertiodratlo ticket In North Caro llua. Tbe State has been claimed all V!ong by that party, and Republican liave not more than dared to liope for any different result. Of the o$lng population of North CamUm far the larger proportion are whites Mid it is conceded that In most of the Southern States the wbfce voters Villi vote Dem ocratic, white the negroes wUl vote almost ewttd the feepfcbltam ticket. Besides thl, It Was only tvro or three kys ago that e liail dispatches stat ing tbat the Democrats or Conserva tfves as they aYc called at home, had rganled a plan for wholesale chal lenging thrtfnghdut the State, which rith me North Carolina people, Vneans i purj09e ofpreventlng Repub licans from Voting. It I propable th:it the plan was successfully carried out and that the toll Republican strength was not polled.. However this may be, the State has fefobtlese 'gone Democratic aud may be 'Soanted with reasonable certainty as lost to the Republicans In November; for the same means used tn Xagust may and VUl be used again 4a November to carry It Democratic. A VKKJTaJBBJt mIXET tLlB. Oregon, 'lit ast, ka got a Greeley Club not f the noisy kind, however, but a Wet, easy-going, mild-man-iiered'chfh, whose advent was so silent that "We dolibt 11 a doxen men ' outside of t1ie noble few whose names were x-boM with a special view to this associ ation, knew of it, till they read the "account of it in tbe Republican Mer cury yesterday. The Club dates lts'btrth Julv 29th, at the Court Houaif, in Salem. The following names illustrate the first page of tbe Club record : T. L. Da Vldson, O. Vf. Iiwsbn, John Hughes X. S. Comegys, T. Scott, Hugh Owens, G. W. Roland, P. C. Sullivan, A. F. Johns, f). Otis, W. M. Davis S. Coffin, O. Wis'wcll, A. D. Dodge and Frank Cooper. Stephen Coffin, a dis appointed office seeker, is tlie Presi dent ot the fifteen. T. L. Davidson and Hugh Owens two disappointed 'office seekers, (defeated candidates at rtne last election) grace the figurative Vice Presidential chair. G. W. Law- son, a chronic disappointed office seeker is the Secretary, and John Huclies, a Democrat, Treasurer. Thus f ir the Club is in perfect harmony with the constituent elements or the Liberal Republican-Democratic party elsewhere. P. C. Sullivan, another disappointed office seeker, is recom mended by the Club to fill Lane's place on the electoral ticket, tbe Club having kindly accepted that gentle man's declination. Speaking of Greeley's reception of the Democratic Committee at Chappa qua. the Chicago Times (be in.) says : "It turns out after all that the philos- pher did not finish up the reconcila- tion business at Chappaqua as lie ought to have done. He neglected to reconcile tbe Democrats to the liberal philosophic virtues by providing fine cut cigars and rum, to his guests. Tbe (act aaems to be that he supplied nothing more conciliatory and virtu ous than sundry hogsheads of lemon ade, and that host and guests parted In a state of disgusting sobriety. Per haps it was out of an un-Democratic-llepubllcan regard for the ladies who were sadwiclied in among the 'black legs pugilists, keepers ot dens of ill lame, criminals and those who are popularly designated at roughs' that the final ceremony of reconciliation w:is postponed to a more convenient season. . A DEAD AD." The Mercury and other Democratic papers still keep the "flaunting lie" of L. F. Lane's name as an elector, at the heads of their columns. There is evident injustice lie re to some Liberal Republican, in whose behalf the sac rificing Lane withdrew. It may be that tbe Democracy having a lull tick et are unwilling to hazard tbe chance of filling a vacancy ; and so the name of Lane la kept standing like a "dead at'vettisement," just to fill up. The Mayor of Oregon City protests that Lane eon't withdraw, and we Infer from the tone in which he utters the dic tum, that he will use all the majesty of the law with which he is enveloped to prevent such conduct as those. If Mr. Lane shall still insist on withdraw ing. W'e await with breathless ex pectation tlie denouement. , 'Another reason why bedrock Demo- j crats go for Greeley Is that bis election Is expected to result in the payment ot the slaveholders for tlie loss of slaves by emancipation. Tlie following is the exact reading of Mr. Greeley's proposition to pay the slaveholders $400,000,000 for their losses: "Fourth The Union to pay 1400,000,000 in five per cent. United States stock to the late slave States, loyal and seces sion alike, to be apportioned pro rata according to their State population, re pectlvely, by the census of I860, in compensation for tbe losses of loyal citizens by the abolition of slavery." The payment of the rebel debt would of course come in next. Let tliose who want tlie United States to assume these relics of the rebellion, bowl for Greeley. We are Informed that when, the other day, Mr. Meacham, candidate for Presidential Elector on tbe Repub lican ticket, passed through tlie Dalles on his way to Umatilla, he called upon Mr. Gates, who Is one of tlie Demo cratic candidates on the Greeley tick et, to make some arrangement about a stumping canvass of Eastern Oregon. . Mr. Gates declined, saying tliat he didn't want any canvass in his. Mr. Jieacham urged that the people would expect a canvass, and be would like very well to go out and talk a little, bat be dldnt waut to go alone. Fi nally, Col. Gates closed the colloquy by saylug : "Well, I may conclude to y speak a few times i it I do, I'll abuse Grant like h 1, but I'll be d d it I'll say a word in fcvor of Greeley." We learn that Mr. Samuel J. New som received Intelligence yesterday ol the outbreak of the Snake Indians not far trom where lie and his brother have . a drove of cattle, on the bead waters ot . tlie Deschutes river. We think this news is of a piece with tlie report of . tlie killing of Mr. Rice and son, which bas already been disproved by a dia- , patch from tlie Dalles. Mr. Newsora's intelligence may refer to that report, or ' may hare grown out of it through tlie intervention of the setwatio-Miiongers. j -We do not doubt but both reports if herere wo are pure ci .:trds.

I 1-HABUESOF CORBIPTIOX. The Democratlcjournalsare reveling in wholesale charges again the ad- " ministration of corruption. Tbe r charges are coined to order, ndtt- tered without con science or decency. One paper Invents and the others copy, though both the Inventor and the copyist know the matter to be lalse. In this respect their conduct !s reck lessness ran mad. fedtetda'y, the Herald had one ot these characteristic rtniges. Speaking of the North dro. Una election, ft says "VMtantless thou sands of money, (filched from tlie Na tional Treasury wete mt down there to influence the "result." Now, on wliat evidence Aoes the Herald base this charge? 4"here U not a particle in existence. The Herald is guilty ot wilful kiidYockless iklsehood. But as reckless and malicious as Ihat false hood, It Is not in any degree more so than lthe;geiieral'et!rrcnt of Democratic lyfcig. J-Corruption," "corruption" Is the cry by which Democrats hope to hood wink and mislead the people. We rarely, however, see any attempt at specification. They do not tell us In what tlie corruption consists, or If they flb, they do not furnish the proof of It. Tbe re are In circulation to-day among Democratic newspapers, hundreds of infamous lies that have been complete ly and triumphantly disproved. The disproof, however, does not touch the conscience of a Democratic "Slum," and he continues to utter and repeat the He as tliongh it were entirely an established fact. Honest men would like to see tlie proof or else witness a . cessation ot such a -disgraceful style of campaigning. The Republican party and the ad ministration of President Grant, can afford to stand upon the official rec ords. These show that the Treasury Department has been honestly man aged, its expenses reduced ; and that the grand sum ot $331,945,881 07 re duction of the National debt since March 3, 1880, as evidence of honesty and economy. When we add to this the fact that by this reduction we liave saved to the nation f 22,002,519 on in terest alone, a child can understand that official corruption could not be followed by such magnificent results. The War and Navy Departments shows a decided reduction in their ex penses, and a glance at their annual reports shows that the nation has re ceived a dollar's value for every dol lar expended. The most searching in vestigation into the affairs of the three departments named has failed to fix upon tlie Administration a single act of dishonesty. Our oppouents know this but lack the honesty to admit it. They ikfie the churye, but omit the specijiai tiou. They hope by persistency to make loud assertions pass for proof. Let the people demand of these dema gogues wherever they speak that they shall give the proof for every charge they make. If tbey know enough to make a charge they should know enough to prove it. THE " FIRST U" OF THE t'AJI PAItiX. Under all the circumstances wo can not exactly sec what occasion there Is i just yet for Democratic jubilation over the North Carolina election as the "First Gun" of the campaign. Tak ing into account its full significance. It does not strike us as an extremely fearful gun. There Is remarkably lit tle terror in it. In tbe first place, though the probabilities are that the State has gone Democratic by a very small majority, it is not yet certain that it has gone Democratic at all. The first reports from Democratic sources were very high sounding ; but they have grown smaller and beauti- tullv less as the distant counties have been successively heard from. From the '20,000," which the Portland Her ald crowed over so lustily, Sunday morning, the majority has been whit tled down to "certainly, less tlian 5,000," and the New York Tribune does not dare to claim more than 1,000, as the least. Dispatches from Repub lican sources claim the State as Repub lican, by a small majority. The fact is tliat many of the counties of North Carolina are very distant, when meas ured by the facilities lor transmission ot news. The returns are not all re ceived ; and it is evident tliat as the news came in from tlie distant coun ties, the majority given in the eastern lart of tlie State lias dwindled away to nearly nothing, tliere is still a chance that the final returns may give the State to tlie Republicans. Under this aspect of affairs it seems to us that extravagant Democratic rejoicings are somewhat premature. Secondly, tlie State bas all tlie time been claimed by the Democrats. North Carolina lias been heretofore about as reliably Democratic as almost any State that can be named. It has never given tlie Republicans but two victo ries one in the State election of 1868 when the Republican candidate for Governor received a little over 18,000 majority ; and in the Presidential election ot the same year, when the State went for Grant by 12,000. In 1865, the Democratic majority was nearly 7,000; and 1800 it was over 23,500. In 1870 the Democratic can didate for Attorney-General was elect ed by over 4,000. Tbe two Republi can victories were gained by the aid of tlie negroes who were first registered in 1867, when they uuuibered some thing over 70,000 voters. Tlie negroes vote the Republican ticket and when they poll a full vote the State goes Re publican. Tbe Indications are that in tlie election just past, they did not vote their full strength, owing to the absence of many of them from their places of registry, and tlie wholesale challenging system adopted by the Democrats. If the State has not now gone more than. 4,000 or 5,000 for tlie conservative ticket. Grant will carry It In November. The. negroes, we are told, adhere unflinchingly to the Re publican party as their safest political trust and will vote for Grant. So lar as the white population Is concerned, it Is mostly Democratic. With them, voting for tlielr own Democratic candi dates is quite a different matter from what It will be when it comes to vo ting for Horace Greeley for President. The State election presented its local considerations and Democrats were mIImI mion to vote lor their Demo- .i- .mnaiiitsiHM. Tk. I .111 L 11 . II vm . . . . " anybody believe they will work and vote with tbe same alacrity for a Pres idential candidate with whom they liave been always at enmity? We re peatit democratic victory now of uot more tliau four or five tliousand is a Grant victory in November. Mr. Hale, editor of the Cincinnati Commercial, paper which more tlwui any other represents tbe business In terests of tbe West, refuses, decidedly, to go for Greeley, though one of the most positive type of Democrats. He puts hU opposition to tlie Chappnquack on tlie ground that the business of tlie country would bu unsettled by his election. The i lews from North Carolina l ""T' ."21 I 1 ..,1 1. , I 1-1 ' 'T!

William Mason telegraphs to Col Amen at the New York Liberal heudqui'.rters. that Mer-rl-iau is elected by six thousand ma jority. Secretary Robeson telegraphs to the Republican headquarters that th. Republicans carry the State by . small majority. The X. Y. Herald's Raliegh srcial says tliat it may take, tlie offleirj count, to rive the result in North L'aioliiui. Democrats there claim a majority ot 2,000 or 3,000. Th Era, a Republican organ, con cedes that Merriman Is elected by a small majority. A World special says Merriman thinks his majority will be 6,000. Tliu Tunes is unwilling to give the State to Uw Democrats, and thinks it may take the official count to decide ttic vote. Thus Siiith the Democratic Times : "The Radicals are now patting Brii-k romeroy attectionately on tlie Hack because lie tried to get np a holt at Baltimore. A few months ago these snme Kamcais culieu him the oevu in carnate. "Politics make strange bed fellows." Not long ago Brick Ponicroy was "tliat sterling, unpurchasable, fearless Democrat" Saint 'Brick. Now he is such a "devil incarnate" that the late Democratic newspapers can nnu no words to properly denounce him ; while his late disciples nestle in the bosom of the chappnquack. Yes "politics make strange bed-fellows.' Nobody abuses bedrock Democrats just now, with half so much vicious vim as those immutable Democrats who only a short time since were tie- I clarinir that tliere was no virtue nor any salvation tor the country but in strict and eternal adherence to the Democratic pnrtv, with not one tittle ol its principles abandoned. Curious, isn't it. Talking about "clasping hands across the bloodv chasm" it would seem that the Greeley hoodlums and Ku- Klux, in Missouri, Virginia. Georgia, etc., are just now clasping bloody hands across tlie chasm. They go for the defenseless negroes and objection able Republicans in a way which af fords the highest proof that they are thoroughly "reconciled !" Ion't they ? Kentucky, Montana and Utah will hold State elections to-morrow Mon day. These are the only elections till September. Kentucky is claimed by tlie Democracy, and will doubtless vote that way. Montana is doubtful, though usually Democratic. Utah will probably elect a Republican dele gate. Money may make the mare go, hut he don't make the Beacon go very fast. Tlie paper is generally four to six days getting from Kalama to Salem. Bret Harte's engagement with Os good & Co. of Boston, is ended, and he is now writing promiscuously. MARKETS. From the Sacramento Union. Sax Francisco, Aug. 1, '72 The necessity ot marketing our re dundant crops in good season keeps up a lively demand upon the monetary resources ot !san 1; raucisco. yet with out Droduciim anvthinsr like a strin gency, there beingenough and tospare tor all probable requirements, espe cially those of a legitimate eliaraeter. The general condition of trade is quite satistactory, and will become more so as the season advances. Accommoda tion can be obtained at 10 per cent. per annum in savings banks, and 1 a lil per cent per month in those of a purely commercial character. Overland shipments ot treasure bv express for the week ending July 31st, amounted to $73,885 20, all in silver bars. The Government escort iwirty, which brought a large sum in gree'n- tacks, took, on its return, $'.000,000 in gold coin; but that amount has been compensated by the transfer ol 2,350.000 to the Bank of California. The total amount ot gold sent through the mails during the past six months been a little rising ?2,uUU,u00. The arrivals ot grain are considera ble tar in excess ot previous years for a like period, while the exports are also on a more extensive scale, yet there is actually a scarcity ol both wheat and barley. Wheat The receipts, thongh com paratively liberal, come far short ot tlie current demand ; the price paid for all choice parcels, $1 ooal 60, and in a few instances $1 62 U, has been paid by millers. At this date no round lots of prime quality can be se cured for less than 1 60. Our latest Liverpool quotations is of tbe 30th July 10s 9U11 lOd. Flour The demaud for export is fully equal to the supply our millers troubled to get wlieat sufficient for current wants. Kxtra Superfine, $4 60 : Baker and Family Extra, in cluding best Oregon. $5 2Gs6. Oats are very scarce and much wanted at high rates. lhe new crop arrives sparingly. Wool There Is very little business doing. Some small sales of Oregon fleece reported at 354.37 tie, but other wise there is nothing to report, thus far tbe seasou's busiuess bas been every way unprofitable to dealers and the trade.

From the Register : No quotations for new wheat. What the price will he we arc left to conjecture. Oats aro still quoted at 50c per bushel, but buyers, believing that prices will re cede to 37Jc, are not anxious to buy at the first quotation. Hay has been selling at $12. but as the crop wn light, tlie opinion prevails that it will rule higher. Potatoes are retailed I - from wagous at II per bushel. No change in price of butter and eggs. and market well supplied. Tlie newest sensation in prospect for the summer season is a grand buffalo hunt at Niagara Falls. Those inter- te rested have sent to Nebraska for live buffaloes, which are to be conveyed by nn fo tho Fall, and a nartv ol Pawnee Indians, in aboriginal " cos-1 tunic are to hunt the buffaloes down. Some disasters have occurred, however. Seven buffaloes were captured south of North Platte, but in transporting tneni a distance of fifty miles six died, hav-1 lug been exhausted in being run down. Whether this will interfere with the project remains to be seen. Don't tease a woman to see what she will do. She may bid you good by forever. 3.

THE URKEI.E1' UEACTIOX. The reaction against Greeley in the South is thus indicated by tlie Chron- cle of Augusta, Georgia : We liave seen it more than oiye stated in Northern journals that tlie South was enthusiast ic for Greeley. This is a grave error. So far as we are able to judge there is no enthusi asm among our people for Greeley and Brown. And it is right that tliere should not be. There is nothing in tne History oi cither ot these men which should endear thein to our peo ple. On the contrary, we have beeu greatly sinned against by both ot them. If the South casts her ballots for them, it will lie purely on the ground, that. under tne necessities ot the case, we can no no better, htieh a canvass would be a very quiet one. We shall have no "White Hat Clubs" no 'Grata Guards" no "Chappaqua Clubs" no liberty-poles no Chinese lantern-transparencies no waving of Hags, no song-singing, nor hoarse shouts and hiizKihs !

Par ties from Lebanon brought the news into town and stated that it was brought from Oehoco by a young man named William, who resides near Scio, and who came through trom Oehoco in two days, stopping' at Leb anon last Tuesday night. A number of horses an- reported to have been taken from the place near where Mr. Kice had his sheep ranch. We sin cerely trust the the report may prove ill founded. Mr. Wee is well known in this city, where he resided for a iinmlier of years before lie removed to Salem. vood xkws rutin the soitii. (From the Republican t'oncressiniint I'M nnltee's Circular. Day after day the news from the South grows more encouraging. The licj-iiblicaiis are wide awake to the importance of the campaign, am! are perfecting their organization t bring nut every available vote in Xovemher next. This is the riht plan to adopt everywhere, and is sun- to It fotlovd by complete victory. The out-and-out ivIk-1 element of the South is in Civor of Greeley, but the Conservatives, I hose who followed the fortunes ol tlie Confederacy, but since ils overthrow have honestly endeavored to restore pnyperity to the South by conforming to the laws of the United Stales, are disiatislied with Greeley, and though not openly in favor of Grant, will do nothing by vote or influence to deleat him Very many of this class will supKrt the Republican ticket, but the majority will abstain from voting rather than lielp elect a man whose entire life, in their opinion, has been devoted to the destruction of their in terests. From rcort,s which reach us from several Gulf States, this fen-ling Is very strong among tiie Conserv ative Democrats. They are not in favor of Grant, but are decidedly op posed to Greeley, Ixnsiuse tliey believe his election would only add to their troubles and prolong the retnni of ace and prosperity. The Union ists of (lie South are a unit for our ticket. Tliere will he no divis ion among tliein. Self-interest a ml gratitude for past protection will impel them to keep togetlier. Tliey know that the Republican party is the only party that can protect them in tlie full enjoyment ol lJieir constitutional rights For this reason they will enter upon the canvass with an earnestness never before known in a Presidential elec tion. The lookout South is hopeful, and bright with coining victory. KKLIUIOl .S IX I-EIAWEWE.

A young lady of Illinois was recent ly married at the age of twelve, and they're lietting on the uunilier of di vorces she's likely to make, beginning her matrimonial career so early. The following colloquy was over heard by a lady : Sighing lover (before the kitciien) "Is it lonely ye are there without me?" A voice within replies "Not atall, Henry ; Willie has been liere for an hour." Fashionable ladies are getting tired of scented pugs, and now take to a small white rat for a pet.

ST. TAHXAXY AM Ill's J AR WITH III. iti.llL. Tammany and his people inhabited the extensive and fertile tract of land west of the Allegliany mountains ex tending northward of the river Ohio. The great remains of monument and other vestiges ot art which are now found iu that section, were owing, it is said, to the skill of Tammany. In his youth he was famed for his exploits as a hunter and warrior, and from be yond the lather -of waters to the Great Salt Lake, his deeds were re counted at every council tire. The story goes that for tiiany years he waged war against the devil. Tam many, after various efforts to destroy him, tinallv took advantage of an ex cessive drouth, set lire to the prairies and consumed the venomous plants, with so much rapidity that the devil, who was skulking about, was badly singed by the flames. The evil one was niortitieil and enraged at his dis appointment iu his endeavor to injure Tammany, and now tried another ex pedient to effect his purpose. He had a large dam thrown across the hike -near where the city of lietroit now stands, cau.-ing a great rising of tlie waters of Lakes Huron an Michigan, which was intended to deluge the country south ot it. where lay the ter ritory of Tammany. He also threw another across Niagara, rai-ing the waters of Lake Erie. Tlie di-as-trous results which might have ensued from this, the Indian' Chief averted by opening tlw. drains in which tlie waters ot the Miama, the Wabash and the Alleghany, now run, and by cut ting a ditch, which at present forms tlie channel of the Ohio. The lakes gradually subsided, but the rapids of Detroit and tha Falls of Xiagra. still remain as monuments of the aston ishing event. UKORV1.4. A Prominent 4eonrlaii on Cireeley. Krem the Savannah -.(ieorpla! Weekly New. Tlie Augusta Chronicle, publishes a long arid able letter trom a writer whom the editor says has more than once lieen honored by the people of; Georgia "with the highest ollice in their gift, and whose public record is one of which tliey are justly proud." We make the following extract from tbe letter : y It is rarely, if ever, safe to depart from sound principles. The rule of mere policy is never to lie adopted, ex cept for the advancement ot sound principles. Now what sound princi ple is promoted by the adoption of Greeley and Brown? Is it not tlie mere preference ot one man over another, when neither ef them holds to a single principle in harmony with tlie Democratic creed ? What I have said proceeds upon the assumption that we will elect Greeley and Brown. But I have little, if any, expectation that we can elect them. Then, bow humiliating our position. To depart from principle to vote loi the worst enemy the South ami tlie Democratic party liave in tlie United States, and then be defeated, combine the concen tration of immeasurable humiliation. If defeat must come, as I think it will, I prefer to "meet if uniW the old Hag of tlie party, illii.-u iotH with the glory of its pat renown. Bnt. what must be the effect of the support of Greeley and Brown hy the Democratic Convention, whether we elect him or not? 1. Disavow as we may, their nomi nation at Baltimore is a moral en dorsement of the men and their prin ciples, ami it will emasculate of nearly all its energy and power our future opposition to the principles and meas ures, the life-long advocacy of which has given Greeley all the cl l ira cter he lias for talent and political position. 2. Having endorsed and voted for Greeley, how vain and feeble in the future will lie our opiositioil to the Hth and 15th amendments, to the Ku Klux law, to political and social equal fly the civil right bill between the races? How weak we will be in maintaining that the right of local sell-govcrnmcnt is inherent in the .States, against tlie centralizing doc trine of Greeley, that it is derived from and depends upon the grace of the Federal Government. 3. It will dissolve tbe grand old Democratic party, and you will never nee it reorganized upon the great priu- ciples to which it has adhered through out the whole history ot lhe Govern " inent, up to the beginning of the late war between the Statds principles whieh are indispensable to the exist ence of constitutional liberty. Iu my judgment, these results are inevitable, whether we succeed hi fleeting Greeley or not. His election will not be tbe triumph of a single great constitutional doctrine which is peculiar to tlie Democratic party. It will be the triumph of Radical princi ples. They may be etiforced in a manner less objectionable it is so to tie hoped than that in which Grant lias executed them. But his election will be flaunted before the world as a great Liberal (so-called) Republican triumph, and truthfully, too. For tliey profess to nothing more than a milder enforcement of Republican principles. Sotliat, by adoptingGree ley and Brown, we consent "that tbe Government shall be administered up on the principles which, it is well known, constitute tbe creed of the Re publican party."

The dia mond fever is raging to such an extent to-day as to completely throw every thing else iu tbe shade, and even seriously affects the stock market. Thousands of people are rushing in and out the rooms of Win. M. Lent, in llavward's building, where the preoi- u stone are ostentatiously exhibited. Ilarpetiding-and others are In atten dance explaining the matter to the crowd, and nothing is being left un done to crexte an intense excitement. The rubies and emeralds unquestion ably came trom Arizona or New Mex ico. The sapphires may have come from the same source. Tlie black dia monds are such as can be bought of any lapidary, and the white one can not he distinguished iu appearance from those recently exhibited bete by J. Henry lUley, and brought by him from tlie Cape ot Good Hope. The stock is reported to be selling rapidly at $40 iier share. The diamonds now in tlie hands of the Diamond Compauv here are esti mated to be worth 1200.000, at the least, and there are four ounds weight of rubie. emeralds and sap phires. Janin. the agent who brought them, says be can make a million dol lars per month, and that the entire lot now here was washed out ofatou and a half of gravel. The Company decline to say exactly where the diggings are located, but say they have claimed all paying ground thev found, which covers -three thousand acres all on one flat. Most of the diamonds weigh only one carat and the largest, which weighs 10S carats, is too dark to be of much value. The sapphires are some ot them as large is pigeons' eggs. Some jewelers who know tlie condi tions under which emerald, rubies, sapphires and diamonds are found. doubt tbe story of their all having been taken out ot one general deposit. aim some even look iiihhi the wliolc stoiy as a new Gold Bluff or Kern river hoax. Sax Fkaxcisco, August 1. It is re ported that the Comany has sold nearly all its stock at 40 per share aireauy. .nauy adventurers are pre wiring to start ior tne new tiolconda. It has transpired that an officer of tin American Legion, which left here in the summer ol 1W5 under Colonel George M. Green, to join Juarez at EI Pa-o. while on the way over and through Arizona, gathered a small sack-lull of such stones, which was lost iu the Iwttle of Seaciteras when Mira- moil defeated the Republicans but was iu turn routed by Ecobcdo. Colonel Green, who is now in this city, has been employed to lead a paiiy'to the place and w ill probably do so. Diamonds, emeralds and rubies have been in every Ikwj-"s mouth to day, and the excitement is intense. Not less than three thousand people have visited Lent's rooms iu Hay ward's block to-day to see the treas ures. Jaum. agent of the Diamond Company, promises to lie here within sixty days with at least a million dol lars worth of diamonds. Tbe iarty which took out the stones is said to have uuuibered only twenty-five men and yet they profes to have pro jiected over a section of country 1") mile square, which is swat tiling with Apaches.
