NEVADA CITY, CALIFORNIA.
COUNTY & CPTY OF FRICIALPRESS
=
‘SATURDAY, NOV. 24, 1866.
From the Sacramento Union of yesterpay we obtain the following interesting
tems: The Western Union Telegraph
‘Company has completed and opened a new
line, which runs by way of Denver, Bridger’s Pass and the stage route now traveled.
This second line is said to have been constructed in a superior manner, and it is ex‘pected that the stoppages of communica‘tion by telegraph with the Atlantic States
will be ides fféiptent than was the case
while we had but one line. =
A new arrahgement has been made for
the transmission of .the Overland mail.
The mail will go from New York to Chicago, instead of to St. Louis, and thence
" ‘pase through Iowa and over the Union Pacific Railroad to the terminus of that track,
where it will be transferred to stages.
' The financial panic continues in New
York. Wall street isexcited. Numerous
failures are reported. Credit is sadly
‘shaken. Money is hard to borrow. The
journals attribute the trouble to the action
-of the Treasury Depart ment in selling both
gold and five-twenties. The panic extends
to other cities and causes the depression of
From Washington we learn that the
President is so busy in preparing for the
meeting of Congress that he cannot receive applicants for office, which is vexation of spirit tothe hungry. General B.
§. Alexander, long in command of the defenses of Washington, is coming to San
Francisco to superintend the construction
of docks. Admiral Dahlgren is going to
assume command of the South Pacific
squadron,
A dispatch from Murphys, Calaveras
county, says the deperado who murdered
‘ William Ritter, -in Sacramento county,
July 2d, 1865, was overhauled and killed
by Constable Jordan and possee, about
three miles from that place, Thursday
morning. The murderer refused to sur
render, und fired upon the Constable, and
‘was then shot dead.
Henry Baker, one of the inspectors of
cigars and tobacco, has been removed.—
He received notification on Wednesday to
pass over his stencil plates, ete., to Collector Soule. ,
A Sacramentan, who contemplates vis , ting Washington and Paris soon, received
per has e&tered upon its fourth volume.—
In “ite semi-canual talk to its readers,” it
says :°
“What was started as an experiment
has proved ftself.a partial. success ; and
omy.
The editor has had to abandon his quid
and his pipe to make both ends meet ; and
the total expenditures for drinks by him
and his partner during the year that they
have been in business together, only
amounts to three dollars and seventy-five
cents, and that was mostly spent by the
editor to keep from being “chivereed !”.—
And, to tell you the truth, neighbor. mer
chants, it is not doing exactly’ the fair
thing for you to have so much of your
printing done, for the cheapness of it, in
San. Francisco.”
The merchants of Carson ought to be
ashamed of themselves, sending to the
Bay for their printing. That’s what we
call “small potatoes and few in a hill.”—
The Appeal is the best paper ever published in Carson, is loyal to the core, done
more to keep the town of Carson up, and
deserves every dollar expended for printing. It would be a capital idea for the
people requiring any kind of goods, inthe
line of those sending abroad ‘for printing,
to throw off on that class of merchants,
and they will soon become wiser if not
better men. 5
PorTicalL, READINGS.—We_ sincerely
hope our people will turn out in large
numbers this evening, to listen to the entertainment to be given by Miss Eliza A.
Pittsisiger, the well-known poctess, at the
Brick Church. Every town this excellent
lady has visited she has been greeted with
good audiences, and we trust she will
meet with the same reception here. No
lady has ever come among us so highly
recommended by the press and leading .
men of the State as Miss Pittsinger. Read
the following opinions of the press:
PoETICAR READINGS.—Miss Eliza A.
Pittsinger, the talented Poetess of the Pacific coast, gave one of chaste Entertainments at the Metropolitan Theatre last
Tharsday Evening, which transcended
anything of the kind we have yet been
permitted to hear on this coast. « Miss P.,
has but few, if any superior in the art of
Eloctition..The “Yankee Ballad,” and
“March to Moscow” ~~ the audience in
aroar of laughter. “Poe’s Raven” was
delivered in an-exceedingly impressive
and tragic manner, but by far the grandest feature of the Reading was her own
magnificent poems,.“Give us Back Our
Dead,” and “The Eagle,” which shows her
wonderful command of language.—Sun.
Miss PITTSINGER.—This distinguished
in reply to a late communication, inal footee is announced to give a Dramatic
e
ing as to the rates of passage, the foléw‘ing statement of prices from the Pacific
Mail Steamship Company's agency at
San Francisco : :
The first cabin ticket to St. Nazaire and
return to San Francisco costs $495 80, exclusive of railroad fare, which is $50.—
First cabin fare from New York to Liver: ss Cunard Line is $132 50; Inman
$80. Fare from this city to New
York by steamer of the 30th inst. is, first
. cabin, outside, $232 50; inside, $182.
: SINGULAR CasK.—When Mr. Fagan’s
little girl died, a short time since, poisoned by mistake for quinine, says the Belleville, Il. Advocate, her little brother Johnny had a similar prescription put up for,
him. He remarked to Mr. Winstanly,
“Unele, I don’t want to take that medicine,
it killed sissy, and it will kill me.” “Oh,
no,” said Mr. W., “it was not tlie medicine
that killed your sister.” The little fellow
then replied : “May be not; but I wish.
you would let mo see my pony before I
take it, because I don’t believe I will ever
see himagain.” He was shown the pony,
took the medicine, and in one hour afterwards was acorpse,
-Tue New York “Sevents.”—The
foject of the New York “Seventh”
iment visiting England and-France
during the World’s Exhibition in Paris,
is exciting a good deal of comment from
the Eastern Press. The Philadelphia and
Chicago journals ate making merry over
it; aiid sonte other papers are sneering at
the idea, that the “Seventh” should be’
jeted wht organization representative
ofthe American soldiety. So faras raising
money to pay the expenses of the trip is
‘eoncerned, the same sneering quill-drivers
suggest that if any funds be raised at all
ln connection! with tho Seventh,” i

ey
ading. We have had an opportunity
to hear several of her pieces and been surprised at the excellence of her elocution
and her conception of dramatic propriety.
Her entertainments consists of Recitations’
—not Readings ; she depends on memory
solely, and the text is accompanied by ail
the adjuncts of gesture and expression usual onthe stage. Miss Pittsinger’s rendering of her own poem, “Give Us Back
Our Dead,” and Pue’s “Raven,” is especially fine—the latter the best that we have
heard in this country. It is grand, classic
and dramatic in the highest degree, and
exactly in keeping with that remarkable
composition. Her recitation of that poem,
alone, will make a lasting impression everywhere, and will establish her reputrtion as a dramatic reader.—Flag.
Express Bustness.—The Call says,
there is no.reason why the postal service
of the United States should not be equal to
that of Wells, Fargo & Company’s’ Ex.
press. Yet; the truth is, the former falls
far behind the latter in efficiency as a letter carrier. Last year the Express in this
State carried 2,800,000 ] for which
the people were compelled t y. nine and
one-half cents each—or an aggregate of
$218,000 extra—as a tax for the inefficien. cy of the Government mails, for if the lattes were equal to the Express, the people
would patronize them in-preference.° For
the stamps used on ita envelopes, the Express Company paid to the Government
$69,000. That is to say, the Gevernment
taxed the Express Company that amount
for the privilege of. performing service
whichits agents “were ineapable of per
forming.
