    3. The Daily Union Sacramento, Cal. Tuesday, August 17, 1852 NEW PLACER - Mr. G. WOODMAN has informed us that rich diggings have been discovered about eight miles from this place, on the East side of Sacramento river. The river makes a bend to the West forming a peninsula of several thousand acres. This ground is cut up into a great many small ravines and gulches, and in some of these the gold has been discovered in large quantities. One piece weighing sixty, and another weighing forty dollars had been found. Water, however, is very scarce and the new place will not be worked much until the rainy season commences. CORONERíS INQUEST - Justice BAILEY, on the _th inst, held an inquest of Samuel B. DAGGETT, who died form the effects of a wound received at the hands of a man named McMAHON on the 27th of July last. Mr. DAGGETT died on the _th inst, and the Coronerís jury found that he was maliciously and willfully murdered by McMahon . In speaking of the tragedy at the time of is occurrence, we mentioned the inoffensive and upright character of the deceased. His age was about 38. The murdererhad not been arrested.

Sonora We are indebted to ADAMS & Co. for the Herald of Saturday, from which we extract the following items: VALLECITO, Aug. 10 - The flat opposite this camp has been found to be rich. Many miners are engaged in sinking shafts. Two holes are down, and paying from $20 to $30 to the pan of dirt. Last evening a piece weighing 8 oz. and 3 dwts, was taken from one bucket of dirt, out of a hole owned by Fredennick and Whitman. INCENDIARISM - Last Monday night, a malicious attempt at incendiarism was perpetrated beneath the basement of the Omega Saloon, in this city. The saloon being newly erected, the back of the cellar had not been closed in, and some scoundrel had piled up some shavings and pieces of dry wood, and had ignited them. When discovered, the light cast by the flames was gleaming between the planks of the floor and the Saloon. The flooring was torn up, and water applied, which soon extinguished the flames. QUARTZ MININGS - We were shown yesterday by Judge TUTTLE, some specimens of quartz rock from the Seil & Martin vein, on Bald Mountain, which has lately been reopened, and is now in full operation. The gold is plainly visible in all of them to the naked eye.
