FRIDAY, MARCH 8, 1867. “Navigating THE HomBoLpt.—Some Jiave ‘conceived the idea of navigating the: Humboldt River. from the sink, or Humboldt Lake, toa point. somewhere near the Idaho line, called Winnemucca—a disYanice estimated at 186 miles, The Owyhee . Avalanche says the project is setiously entertained, and expresses the opinion. that be considerably shortened by using this strip of navigable water. Although the various maps im our possession failto show it, we presume the Humboldt River fol lows the direction of the road to Owyhee for a considerable distance; and just for the looks of the thing—for the gratificafi tion of announcing that Nevada really possesses facilities for inland navigation,’ however limited the extent—we hope the dammed and dredged and steamboated.— It is the exclusive property of Nevada, it rises within the boundaries of the State, and pours its waters down the throat of of the Twenty-six Mile Desert. And the desert is ours, and Lake Humboldt, and all he sage brush and rank grass that grow: ‘around its marshy borders. And the many, Very many, stories of suffering and e emigrants’ of 1849-'50, who crossed that’ tt, are ours; and if the troubled shades of the hundreds who perished there sometimes e the desolate spot at midnight, when the n is new, we claim ‘the phantoms ‘as an intan. gible possession of fhe State: Nevada will yet be distinguished for something besides its. veins of silver. A few weeks since a party, desirous of testing the na. vigable capacity of the Humboldt, ‘con. structed a small boat of some sort, at “An account of the trip is published in the ‘story of the trip ts interesting. For many iles the river was found to be from two ghd a half tosix fect in depth, and very ¢rooxed, It is about sixty feet in width. The character of the river remains about the same. to its mouth, with occasional rapids and shallows. To renderit navigable, two or three dams will have to be re-moved, and a number of wing dams cdnstructed to deepen the channel, but the gentlemen furnishing the accoant thinks every obstacle can be removed.” On reaching the mouth of the river, the party could not find a passage into the lake, owing to the rank growth of the tules, but an outlet forty feet in width is known to the settlers and Indians, and can easily be found. The distances are thus given by the writer : 4 er's to Lovelock’s..... 85 * Lovelock's to Head of Lake.,..10 “ * Head of Lake to Foot of Lake..14 “ ees At Thacker’s wood can be purchased in abundance at $10 and $12 per cord, and the writer says the river can be made navigable-at a small expense. The purpose is to constiuct a shorty light-draught, stern-wheel steamboat, with which. it is believed freight and passengers can’ be conveyed a distance of 186 miles on their way to Idaho, at the rate of six or seven tiles an hour. The writer says the Humboldt‘is the most crooked river hé ever saw. Ifso, how many miles,'as the road runs, would that 186 miles of navigation equal? Probably less than a hundred. and Blakeney are all out in the cold and it now appears we have no Assessor at all, The law requires the Assessor to be a the District and Blakeney San Francisco for eighteen months and voted in that city. For this reason Bigler intends to contest office. How the the public crib. 9 o’clockon Saturday morning, for parade and target practice.

In addition to the above prizes, Lancaster & Saxby will place a $20 piece in the centre of the target to be taken by the first man that hits it, and a pony purse of forty dollars will be made up. The company will be out in full force, and as some fifteen or twenty of the best shots in the county are athong its members, we will look for e excellent “strings.” The indications ‘are excellent for good weather,-and the roads are already in first-rate condition.— Neither of the pany medals will be shot for at this time. It is expected that the Washington Band wi on hand for the excursion. Irs FouRTEENTH:-VoLUME.—The GF Valley Union says: “The Nevada TRANSCRIPT yesterday entered its fourteenth volume, and, as we have reason to know, it begins the new volume in a health financial condition. -We have been a nae er, but not a “constant reader,” of the TRANSCRIPT, since its first issue, whet the genial General Allen contributed his pleasantries to'its colamns.and while we have not indorsed itin all things; while, in fact, we have had to regulate some of its shortcomings, we have always regarded it with high favor, and our associations with its proprietors and editors have been of an agreeable character. It is a good local paper, @ little too strong on Radicalism to suit our Conservative notions, which, however, is an affair of ita conductors and not ours ; and we hopeit may continue a-source of profit to its owners, Brown & Deal, for many years to come. ’ Trist ELECTION PLACARDS.—Some of the placards used inthe late Waterford election were very inflammatory ; the following for example : “people of Watertord —In the olden time the Beresford bloodhounds hunted your forefathers into wntimeéley and bloody graves! Who raised the the county of Waterford? Who used the tirangle inpitch cap and the gibbet, the car, and the cat’o-nine-tails? Thg Beresfords. What did O’Connell say of tliem in 1826 ? The Beresfords, who were never known to smile except when their victim was writhingon the gibbét! The Election<Black Sheep. A full list of the names of those who voted against congcience and country will be published in placards through the city and country immediately, after the election.” THERR Were.36 deaths in ‘San Francisco last week. ; Mr. PEABopy’s fortune is reckoned by somebody at $50,000,000.
