The Daily Transeri NEVADA CITY, CALIFORNIA. Transcript, rhavé-been Offered in’ the Legislature WEDNESDAY, JAN. 22d, 1868. THE MINING ScHoo1.—Since the inoy gress for the establishment of a schoo] of mines, the matter has been generally discussed and the proposition heartily approved. -A memorial has been inintroduced into the Legislature, the object of which~is to induce Congress to make certain amendments to the bill.— The bill propeses to locate the school upon the line of the Pacific Railroad.— aie (This ‘would shut out many prosperous . . and guitable mining towns which though convenient to the railroad are not touched by it. This is a ‘goad suggestion. “The “question of locality __. should be left open for settlement hereafter. The territory along the line of the railroad is hardly settled yet. New of trayel be opened as. the road is extended. A site. now"apparently most “ favorable for the location of the-col* lege may, in a short time, be changed toa waystation. i i ~ Phere are also large and permanent mining towns which possess all the advantage necessary for the location of such a school, Where students can observe the practical working of mines _.,___ While they study the theory of mining, “and sach towns may-not be-upon ‘the ~ line of the railroad. But the other propositions made in the proposed inemorial should not be adopted by the Legislature. One .of. the suggestions is, that a part of the fund designed for the mining college be set apart for the School of agriculture and mechanic arts. The latter is ‘a local institution, and it is designed to make the mining school ainational institution, and noneof the funds designed for it should be diverted for any purpose. 'To-esteblistr __ such a school, which shall be equal to the best institutions of the kind in Ku— rope should be the object, and all the means as well as the ability at the command of the nation shouldbe direeted to this end. If the national school of mining is to be second to any other inproject. better be abandoned at the outset, and in orderto make —itwhat it : should be, the government will require «every means available.’ The laudable «= object should not be defeated by dividing either energy or-money,—Let the State be satisfied with the liberal donation of lands already.made by the na— tion, and building up her local institu general government. res A Sticut War CLoup.—We have news that Congress is aroused by the disregard of the rights of citizens of the United States as displayed by England in arresting Fenians, and it is stated that the release of George Francis Train’ ~—and others will be demanded by the State Department. A resolution has been offered in the House directing the President to demand an explanation for the execution of O’Brien, and also declaring that such interference with the rights of American citizens as have been heretofore practiced, will be: considered cause forwar. fat . . . 3 troduction of Stewart's bill into Con~~~ tewns may spring up and new centers. 4 pigtailsby theear. —__--4ions-of Jearn-without—the—aid-of the} {+ * ASKING DAMAGES.—One or more bills providing for the payment of damages to the publishers whose presses were destroyed in San Francisco, shortly after the assassination of President Lincoln. The payment of such claims from the ‘State. Treasury would be an outrage upon'the people, and we hope that the Senate will defeat_all+ such claims. “Even if the justice of the demands be admifed, ‘the parties havé no claim? whatever upon the State. If they are entitled to damages, let them establish their rights by suit against the municipal authorities of San Francisco, and not endeavor, through the agency of their friends in the Legislature, to steal the amount from the State Treasury . Weare confident that even. Deiocrats -will ind no'warrant forithe payment‘of such claims, where the way of redress is so plain as inthiscase. Ifthe parties were damaged, it was in consequence -of. the-negleet of the San Franeisco authorities to protect their property—the remedy is by a suit against the corporation, and it would be robbery to take it from the State Treasury. 4. . BurGvary.—The store of Mr. Lawson, on lower . Main street, says the G. V. Union, was, ettered a few nights ago, and @ lot of pork,a box of soap and some quicksilver, amounting in value to about $30 was taken away.— Chinamen were suspected_of being the robbers, .and Constable Allison made the arrest of about ten of the almond— eyed sous of the Flowery Kingdon, and -brought them: before J ustiee-O' Connor! The evidence. not being sufficiently strong, the Justice discharged the whole batch of theni.. The robbed man evidently in this case got the wrong ELECTION AT SITKA.—At a late election the following oflicers were elected: Mayor, W.S. Dodge, the Revenue Colleetor; Recorder, F. Sargent ; Surveyor, J.A. Fuller ; Councilmen, N.J. T. Danna, gue and others. Ninety-six votes were polled, the soldiers. being disfranchised . by military orders, _ J, A, Fuller, the Surveyor, is Clerk in the Quartermaster’s Department. He is also the author of “Freedom’s Footsteps,” of. whieh ‘many of our citizens have. copies, and is correspondent of the TRANSCRIPT from Alaska, ~ Evreka.—The thirty stamps at the Eureka Company’s mill, says the National, started in operation last Thursday, and work to the satisfaction of all concerned,. ‘The Company run twenty stamps fora long time back, but not being able to keep up with the rock. taken from the mine, added the addi= tional ten. stamps, which will increase the yield of gold proportionately, —_——_————re > THE Russian brig Constantine sailed } from Sitka-on-the 28th—of November, . on a trading expedition among the Indians of the Nerthern coast.. She has about ten thousand dollars worth of goods. and trinkets, and in the inter= regnum between the Russian Fur Company and the American organization, will be able to’collect furs at great ad— vantage and realize a most profitable venture. It is expected that her peltry will be taken te-thé San Francisco mar. Ket determined that he will hold no intercourse with Stanton, but Congress has demanded information of him which can only be obtained through the War Department. He must either go to Stanton to get it or refuse to comply with the demand of Congress. ° Rey. Thomas K. Fessenden, of the Center Church in New Haven, proposes to establish an Industrial School for girls in that city. Ile has raised $20,000 in Hartford for the object, and will obtain the other $30,000 necessary in his own parish. Mrs. Susan B. Anthony is in Washington,. soliciting subscriptions for her new paper, the Revulution, which is to be the special organ of female suffrage in the United States, She has been visiting most of the members of Congress, and has been quite successful.

THE people of St. Thomas have ~de— cided in faver of annexation to the United States by a vote of 1244 to This certainly speaks well for’ the people of that “shaky” island. ee a FRANK Husséy and Joe Taylor, minstrels, are on their way from New York to this State. 99 ~~ THE United States Branch “Mint at San Francisco, opened-on Monday. THE OLDESTAND BEstT.—The Spring“LITTELL’S. Livine AGE “decidedly the best magazine of its class published: in the United States, if-not in the world.” The Rev. Henry Ward Beecher says, “Were I, in view of all the competitors now in the field to choose, I should un— -doubtedly choose the Living Age. “There is notin any library that 1 know of, so much instructive and éntertaining reading inthe same number of volumes.” And it is similarly endersed by the best writers and thinkers of the day. ‘It has beenpiiDlished for.more than twenty years, and is now enlarged, It is issued every Saturday, giving fiftyKyo numbers and> considerably over THREE THOUSAND double column octavo pages of readinge/ matter, yearly, all, free of postage, for the low price of $8. It isa work which commends itself to every one who has a taste for the best views, or who cares to keep up with the events’of-the time: Saas It Contains the, best Reviews; Criticisms, Stories, Poetry ; Literary, Scientific, Biographical, Historical, and-Po= litical Information,—from the whole -bedy of English Periodical Literature, —making 4 vols.°a year, of immediate interest, and solid, permanent value. The frequency of its publication en-+ ables its conductors to present a complete resume of the best literature of the day, in all its freshness-and variety, combining the useful and instructive manner not attempted by any other periodical of itsclass. The lume Journal of New York, says: : ' “Its standard of selections is a. high one ; and its contents are “not only of interest at the present moment, but possess an enduring value. Its representation of the foreign field-of periodical literature is ample and ¢omprehensive; and it combines the tasteful and -erudite,the romantic and practical, the social and scholarly, the grave and gay, with a skill which is nowhere surpassed, and which is admirably suited to please the cultivated reader and that, “long distinguished as a pionecrin the repub. lication of the choicest foreign periodi-— -cal literature, it-still helds-the-forem rank among works of itsclass.”. > In the multiplicity of magazines, old and new, that are claiming attention, we would say to our readers, with the Troy (N. Y.) Daily: Times of the 5th inst., that “those who wish to obtain a whole library of varied and* most valuable reading, will do it most completely and economically by subscribing for’ ‘Little’s-Living Age.” Bromfield Street, Boston. THE First Congregational Society of San Francisco have bought the 50-vara tot'on the corner of Stockton and Post streets, for $30,000, for the purpose of. erecting a:chureh thereon.
