NEVADA CIT®, Office---€orner ef Bread and Pine Streets. == = Deca¥ oF THE INTERtOR.—One or two papers and about the saine nuniber of per: gons are continnally writing er talking about the decay of the interior of this State. Complaints of the same sort are. feund in the mines. ‘These growlers stand arouad ou the street corners with hands in their pockets, out at the elbows, without having sf © struck a blow for years, aod talk pathetically about the exhausted mines and dull times, when all around them enterprising wen are taking out-their thousands. New mills are being built and the evidences of prosperity are more apparent than ever before. There ig another class. of. croakers who have recently figured in—the—hegislature asthe opponents of the Specific Contract Act. They talk about the decay of. the State, the depopulation of towns, and . the wasted fields, and trace all these evils which exist only in their own imaginations to the Specific Centract law. Gen. Evans, in his speech in favor of repeal, said: ‘The depopulated towns all:through the country, protest —againstthe-financial_policy of foreign bankers who have brought this state of things about:” It-is unfortunate for the General's. illustration thatthe state of things pictured by. him do not exist, and those of our readers-who took out-upon the hillsides all. over the county at the smoke curling up from the score of new quartz mills which have been erected during the past year, will be astonished that any one could seriously talk about idle mills. The thumping of stamps is heard in almost every ravine in this county. Prospecting is prosecuted with more energy than ever’ before; the rich placer mines are yielding large returns, and with another twelve months the number of quartz and cement mills will be almost doubled. This progressis not confined to Nevada county alone, Our exchanges from Placer, Sierra, Shasta, Alpine, Plumas, Calaveras and almost every mining county, teem with accounts of new . discoveries and rich leads, and everywhere throughout the mines there are unmistakable evidences of renewed energy and increased prosperity in mining. The sales of our merchants were never so large as during the last season, and the shipment of freight to the mountains has been larger than for years. While this ia true, miners were never more prompt inthe payment of their debts. Capital is becoming more ready to investia mines, and during the past twelve months money from the East has been invested more largely than for any five years since the discovery of gold. If these be ‘Tae’ Re ber to-day, sajwthe Bee of the 15th. Senor came into the Chamber in company with Senor Pacheco, State Treasury of California, ard of San Mateo moved that Senor Godoy, Counsel of the-Repwbhe of Mexico, be invi-: ted toa seat beside the Speaker. This ino“tion Wae carried unanrmously. A commit tee was appointed to conduct the Consul to the seat. When he had taken it, Mr. Hopper of Sacramento moved that the Assembly take a recess for five .minutes to give tree cheers fer the Republic of Mexico. This, tuo, was adopted without oppasition, and the cheers were given, not only by the members of the House, but also by the attaches and numerous lookers on. This is but an indication of the feelings of our people on, this subject, yet it represents the popular sentiment fairly. California cannot be mistaken upon this point. . Secretary Seward, in his late conference with the Frenel Minister, fully-presents the-opinion of this people as well as the epinion of those on the eastern side efthe continent. A Goop Samariran.—Tho Call says, on. Wednesday morning, ata very early hour ‘a fellow, Known by the sobriquet of Scotch Tom, was arrested for robbing a -fellow whose name we have been unable to learn. incident hdppeped in the Aseeibly yo. of Supe Godoy, Mexican Consul at San. Francisco, : w LAKE-Towpsuir.—The Board Ssors ‘have cdhated a Rew bownship in'‘the eastern part of this eounty, and called it Meadow Lake. The new district daries: -Coinmencing at a point on the north line of the county of Placer, due south of the Pacific Turnpike Co's. bridge erossing the South Yuba river, thence northerly to the south-east corner of Eureka township, thence along the northern line of said ‘township to the south line of Sierra county, thence east along the line of Sierra ‘to the eastern boundary of the State, thence south along said State line to the north corner of Placer county, thence west along the” line of suid county to the place of beginning. Snort BY A Woman.—The—Oregonian of February 3d says: -We-are informed by parties from Olympia, that S. Bridges, . islature, from Walla Walla county, but now a resident of Seattle, W. T., was shot last ofn-hotet keeper there. Bridges was paying attention-to MissLottie, daughtet of Mrs. Sires, and_Ais visits were not as agreeable to the madame as to the daughter. on THE Midland New York Railroad. Company has been: filly organized, and the iniidle quartz—mills,—the -untilled-valleys,.the-+++—sppearsthat the fellow had sprained his ankle while performing a calisthenic feat-in-one-of the Pacific street dance cellars, and that Tom performed the part of # Good Samaritan, by taking him to Mrs. ; Callahan’s Saleon und putting bim to bed, after giving him something to drink. As soon as he fell asleep, Tom rewarded himself by taking all the money and valuables. that the stranger had upon ,his person. As soon as he awoke-he-informed some of the police fercé.of the circumstances, and pointed out the man who robbed him. Tom says, “If that is the way he is to be treated, he willbe eussed if ever he does a geod action agains’ BAD MANAGEMEN'T.—We hope that while. the committee appointed by the Legislature are engagéd in. their investigations of the Stockton Insane Asylum, they will find out the cause of the numerous escapes which oceur. In December last, William Wicks was sent down from this county raving mad,\ and several days ugo he returned, his condition not at all improved. .This same individual was sent to Stockton once from Placer county and was allowed to walk off in the same way. His insanity is of sucha character as to make him dangerous and he should be kept in close confinement, besides, }each trip to Stockton costs the county above one hundred dollars besides the cost of examination. Somebody in charge of the Asylum is culpable, and we hope.-the investigating committee will find the party.STeapy Hawirs.—Emerson, in his book evidences of decay, then General Evansand . English character, speaks of an old town other croukers are entitled te belief. The agricultural statistics of thie State. will show a gradual improvement ia the cultivation of -the soil, unless, in oxceptional cases where crops are destroyed by flood or dreught.— . The number of acres under cultivation is increased, and within the past few yeara there has been a marked improvement on the system of cultivation in vogue in early days. The advancement may not be fast enough to satisfy the impatient, but the im provement though slow is sure. This state of things may be improved, but not by any aystem of finance, or by the growling or the threats of such croakers as we have alluded to above. We want first-of all'to get clear of theee complainers—Thenwe want nore men of industry and enterprise, who are not earried off by every rumor of rich mines at a distance, We want men who are contented to make this State their home, and all suoh will be richly rewarded in the mines er onthe farm. This class of citizens are increasing, and this ia the secret of our im. provement during the past two years. The sooner the restless. wanderers who are carried off by every reputed discovery of-rich mines ate out of the country the better. Thousands of dollars are now being invested ia the mines of this State, and capitalists gre ‘ever ready to build mills. and -werk _minea where labor uncovers a good ledge THERE are at least a million of freedmen who ought-to be taught to read—who are eagerly ‘appealing to be instructed—and Whom the sociétivs can reach if they have the funds to support the teachers. . There are not mvre than a thousand teachers .of freedmen in tre South towday. « in England’ where a piece of bread anda draught of beer are given to every one who should ask it at the gate. About twenty call daily on an average. This is paid for from a fund bequeathed for that purpose in 1136, more than seven hundred years ago. Considering the comparative ages of the nations, we can nearly match that in this eeantry. About 1775,-the Hon. Theodore Atkinson, of Portsmouth, N. H., left a legacy of £1,000, the income of which was di‘yected to be distributed in loaves of bread to the poor of that town every Sunday.— This has been done regularly for nearly a century; ubout £5,000 have been thus spent, and the fund has not been impaired. THE TELEGuAPH.—The Oregonian “of the 25th ultimo says:. The late storms have greatly damaged the telegraph There is noeleetrie communication with Vaneouver or Oregon City from this place. The cable acrogs the river at this city is broken, and the wire that was stretched across the Willamette, four miles above here, has, parted and fallen into thestream. It cannot be repaired at that place until the present high water shall have partially sub‘sided. ~The line is intact from Oregon City as far south as Scott’s mountain. Between Vancouver and Monticello the line is uhderstood to be broken in-many: plages. THe PaymasterGeneral, in reply to a question of the Chairman. of the Military Committee of the House, says that to pay all the soldiers, or their representatives a bounty equal to the highest. paid—ga00— and in proportion to the time of service of each, would requits the sum of $560,000. 000. Lancaster and J Griffin ep soar of Oswego, Madison, Chenan0, Otsego, Delaware, Sullivan and Orange, ost of which have hitherto enjoyed slender railroad facilities. It will cost, when built and equipped, $10,000,000, and will have added at least. double that amount to the taxable wealth of that State. BIRTH.
