My pear Civittay, alias, C1-Vintam, alias ! Servine-one :—Having recovered from a vio ‘ent fit of admiration brought on by reading your latest essay, 1 embrace the first chance to The Eastern War. The last news from the seat of the Eastern War, bears no strikingly new aspect. Preparations are steadily and even rapidly going on throaghont Europe. Diplomacy, however, is constantly busy with her attempts, ostensible or real, to parry off the blow which threatens so seriously the peace of the world. Austria. however, has signified her intention of acting with the western powers, against her overgrown and dictating neighbor, and Prussia it is thought will soon follow the example. Some have prophesied that Russia, with her acknowledged tact in diplomacy, would eventually succeed, in part at least, in the accomplishment of her ends, so as to withdraw her forces in honor, from the Turkish dominions.— Others are of opinion that her diplomatic dejays are only intended to lull to sleep the united powers that she may have the opportunity to win one signal victory before active hostilities are commenced by the Western powers, and thus, making a virtue of necessity, patronizingly seem to acquiesce in their demands, while her prosperity is at its height, giving her a pretext to demand in the s¢ttlement, at least a part of her former requirements. Russia, has long been accustomed thus to gain her ends, by littles. Her encr: achments having been gradual. until she has gained a fvoting, and then by a display of her unwieldy proportions, awe her neighbors into silence, rather than venture in what seems to be so unequal a combat. Her . of the world and lay aside the animosities they so much loved to cherish towards each other.-—— Diplomaey set itself to work to accomplish 8 peaceful termination to the affair, even thongh it should be done by the sacrifice of another slice of ‘Turkey at the altar of Russian arrogance. But the Porte was resolute, and no further concession would be made. The bully was compelled, much against his will to fight, and the first campaign has been gloriously won by Turkey, single handed, against Russia, ponderous as her power has been admitted to be. At this juncture another powerful thought seized upon the brain of the “ Four Powers :” If we do not see Turkey righted in this matter, there is another young giant west of the Atlantic that will. America must not be allowed . s0 broad a pretext for the introduction into Europe of her republican principles. Her people are ripe for the occasion, and her resources ample; she will not stand by with folded arms and see the outrage perpetrated in cold blood. . If she is allowed once to gain a footing by in. terfering in so good a cause, where and when will her influence cease to be felt. Once let . the principles of republican freedom get a footing in the east, and Poland, Switzerland, Hungary, more re-kindle the fires of Liberty—despots, Monarchs, K ings and Potentates may be summoned to answer at the bar of republicanism nay, even Ireland and Greece may once encroachments date back to the time of Peter for the deeds of centuries, arid the verdict will lighter, or even vulgar, caravans that travca . “The Secretary, commanded by Capt. ¢ : : E.

An orgenization made im. disabtse an interested public of the impression mediately upon the obtaining of power by the-city to subseribe $350,000, had exploded, aud a new call was issuéd. Party feeling seems to have too much to do with thé whole matter, and this is embarrissing its progress. By its amended charter the city has power to subscribe the above named sum. <A party of men some three or four weeks since issued a call for a meeting, made themselves officers. §c, and subscribed altogether about $1,000 to the road. The city put down its $350,000, and all went on swimmingly. till the citizens began to ask how much bonds the city would have to issue to raise its proportion. On figuring up probabilities it was set down to half a million. Public opinion finally grew so strong in the matter that the compiny dissolved. general call was then issued. signed by nineteen cilizens, eight of whom convened last night, besides a large number of others interested. After many very idle discussions about preli-:inaries, such as if the eight could act for the nine required by statute, induced by remains of jealousy on the part of the defunct organization, the meeting went fairly at work. Gilbert E Winters, Mayor of Marysville, was elected president of the company. Horace Leach, Secretary, and Mark Brumagin, Treasurer. The company expect to obtain subscriptions in Marysville to the amount of $50,000; from the city, $2C0.000 in A new and more! that the attack was fata!. Learning to my regret that the printer has . pied his fonts of Greek, Arabic, and Chinese* I am at loss to out-match your array of quota. tions ; and not having had so good an oppor{tunity to “steal the scraps” at the “ feast of words” we have both attended, I trust you will not take offence that I do not, as Cumberland would say, : d Through sophist or gramm .:ien pi tng weil And rumm ge in their mud :o ‘race x date Or hunt a dogm, down, thet gives cffeuce To my philosophy ” As you frankly admit you “admire” “impedence” and “brass,” Lam not at a loas to understand your excessive self-appreciation : “O, wad some power the giftie gie us, To see ourselves as others see us!” In your brave charge upon my. ‘‘facts,” you certainly display “the coolness of Fubiuy” if not “the wisdom of Cesar.”. You have much of that talent that makes the «‘ worse appear the better cause.” Still your memory is not as pliant as your conscience. By comparing your two versions of the facts you will see you have made, as Mr. Blackstone would call it, “s fatat variance.” In one you say the “gentleman” was taken “straightway” to the justice’s office, (the “head and front of the Marshal’s offend. ing,”) and certainly do not imply he presumed any “joke.” In the other you record a lapse of . time between the “joke” and its solution that . “destroys your case.” It ia also funny, dear sir, that the “fe who never promised to pay the fine,’ should “met in the street a little while after and asked if he Aad paid it.” F , “move a non-suit ” cash, and of Nevada county the balance.—} There is a fine pld proverb about the “ill.will In order to raise the $200,000 it is proof a dog,” and I don't believe the Marshal dethe Great, in 1689. When he ascended the throne, he found himself at the head of a vast inland territory, but a sparse population of semi-barbarians, who were far inferior in numbers and intelligence to the neighboring powers, whose territory cut him off from all outlets, save the Frozen Ocean and the Caspian Sea.—Peter the Great was seized with an insatiable, but rather laudable ambition, and wished to make Russia a great nation. But to accomplish this, outlets unnst be obtained for the development of the resources at his command. For this purpose he planned and developed the system of territorial aggrandisement so te nacicusly adhered to by his successors—often by open war, bat more frequently by means of intrigue. By the treaty of Neustadt in 1721, Russia obtained access to the Gulf of Finland. Poland has been absorbed at four successive mouthfuls in 1772, '93, 95 and 1815. To gain the command of the gulf of Bothnia, she took Finland from Sweden in 1809, which she has steadfastly refused to surrender even at the risk of a general war with Europe. In 1774 she gained a footing on the coast of the Black Sea, and in 1783,-Crimea and the Sea of Azof; in 1792, she gained the port of Odessa from Turkey ; and in 1812 the remaiuing slice of territory down to the river Prath and Danube. In the year 1829 she obtained the mouths of the Danube, together with territory and important fortresses on the Asiutic shore of the Black Sea. Moreover, she obtained, aud for scme time held possession of the Provinces of Wallachia, and when remonstrated with by the Ecropean powers, exacted in the stipniations that the Turkish troops should be withdrawn, and the forms of government set up by Russia should not be disturbed, and exacted the right to establish a quarantine on the Danube, which she did, greatly to the future annoyance of the commercial world, and by which she virtually gained all she had sought, these provinces now rendering to the Turkish government only a sort of feudal subserviency. But Russia was not yet satisfied She yet longed for the possession of Constantinople.— This by conquest, she knew would not be suffered by the nations of the world, and she must do the rest as a friend. She had now grown strong, and her ponderous proportions gave her easy access to the ears of her weaker neighbors, as they bad rather court her favors thar incur her displeasure. Conquest and diplomacy bad doue all they could; protection was to do the rest. The difficulty between Turkey and the Pacha of Egypt opened the way for this — Turkey engaged to assist Russia in all wars, by which means she was compelled to quarrel with all her friends ; while Russia agreed to protect Turkey against all enemies. France and England interfered with this, and.demanded a modification of the arrangement, by which Nicholas did not gain as complete control of the Princpalities as he dssired, though he had gained another step in bis march to power. In all this, let it be remembered the process by which Russia has affected most of her numcrous conquests, has been to take them under her protection, then fermment dissensions, and lastly apnex them to her territory to put an end to their troubles. Thus Russia had'laid the surrounding nations under obligations so vast that she implicitly believed none of them would offer any resistance to her desigas, and knowing that England and France should they interfere, must act in unison, which it was firmly believed never could be done—he looked upon the presevt as the proper time to strike the fatal blow against the Turkish sovereignty. He sent Prince Menzchikoff, with the ntmost pomp and tailitary display, to demand of the Turkish government the privilege of a Russian protectorate over all the Christian or Greek subjects of the Porte, amounting, it is supposed to about ten millions of souls, so that all their grievances, real or imagivary, must be brought to the Czar for redress, instead of their own lawful sover, . eign ; be oceupied the Principalities, and with his bullying—the suddenness and boldness of bis demands, at atime when Turkey was least prepared for the event, expected to gain his end. But, much as the Porte was inclined to yield to the dictates of his more powerful neighbor, Nicholas had gone too far. He knew that Austria and Prussia were under restraints by Russia; he knew that Eugland and France were joined to their favorite idols—wealth peace, commerce, and pleasure, and that: United States would hesitate to interfere in an European effairs ; anid thus he grapple alone with the giant. too much. He saw ata glance, surely leave them the losers. Thus are the other powers of Europe driven to execute justice,lest their suprineness may lead to a result the end of which may be to arouse the world to a more intimate knowledge of the captivating principles of republican liberty. Thus circumstanced, there is but little to fear from the indecision of the combined powers of Europe. Let Turkey steadfastly adhere to her integrity-—let her demand and accept nothing short of full and complete justice-—let her submit to no diplomatic propositions, and all she may ask, must, and will be awarded to ber. Towa Corporatiou. An election, we believe, is to be held on the first Monday of May, for a new Board \of Trustees, and other town officers. This organization has thus far been but an experiment, and is, as yet, but half tried. The ordinances passed by the present . board, are, of course, in some particulars, . imperfect, and in some instances, people have complained, perhaps justly of their ‘severity. If such be the case, it is not nec. essarily an objection to the organization of the corporation ; because the imperfections are no more than oversights in the legis. lative department, which may, and doubtles will be remedied as soon as time and experience can give adequate statistics for their correction. We do not think it is right to attach biame to those vested with ‘the duty of executing the laws, because wes are promptly executed, even if their operation should bear hard upon some of ‘our best citizens. In fact it is necessary that such should be restrained fromm every impropriety, although they have the good of the community even so much at heart. For, with what inconsistency would our officers attempt to enforce any given ordinance, at any time, if those most honored among us are allowed to violate them with impunity? Every man is presumed to be an honest, good citizen, until he is proved to be otherwise, and if he does no more than good citizens do, what evidence that he is not. Toestablish a different rule, would not only be giving currency toa strange precedent, but would be legislating directly for one set of men at theexpense of another. All ourcorporation laws require, is that citizens should so conduct themselves as to secure to our inhabitants, peace, safety and quietude ; and it is no more than proper that those who regard themseives as superior to the more unworthy, should show their superiority by an implicit obedience to wholesome laws. But there are some vital improprieties yet in eur town, for the abatement of which we have Icoed for wi h considerable solic. itude, but which thus far have not been touched. San Francisco and Sacramento have both set an example worthy of imitation; and though the accomplishment of 80 desirable an object may cause some re. sistance on the part of those interested, we . can see no good reason why the attempt should not be made. Let these things be . bourne in mind ‘oo, at the coming election . —and, if possible, elect men as trustees, who are willing, for the sake of decency i and the peace of the town, to bear a little of the calumnies which are necessarily . heaped upon chose who: will discharge a known duty—and a marshal who will fearlessly and resolutely enforce the laws , of the board. There are imperfections, too in some of . the present ordinances, which shou'd be remedicd without delay. We may note that of a tax of $15 for each performance, on concerts, theatres, §«. This, in connection with the state and county tax of $10, amounts to almost 2 prohibition. This, when zpplied to Circuses, would be well enough. The latter contract almost no local expense, and are patronized to an ex; . tnt entirely beyond the anticipation of ny might be left to But this was. tax the community to the amount of thousif this were. ands, they leave but little to show for their those engaged in the more intellectual pursuits of music and thedrama While they . a certain amount of opium was purchased for him the day before, and a suspicion gained currency that he had committed suicide. In consequence of this, another jury was summoned, and a more rigid exof several physicians. It was found that seme time ago, he had received a charge of shot in the back part of his head ; fracturing his skull, but which had never been tem examination, (over twenty,) and that the wound was even yet supparating, and fragments of the bone had frequently been discharged. Fiom this cause his brain was highly inflamed. and this inflamm:tion increased by the immoderate’ use of alcoholic drinks. And from the two causes combined, resulted in his sudden death He has been in the regular habit of using opium, probab'y to relieve the consiant pain in his head um was obtainad the day before, which was found at the examination with the exception of a very smell part of ,—the miss ing portion not being sufficient to injure in the least, even a person not accustomed to its use. After this rigid éxamination, the second jury brought in the following verdict, the same as the first ;— “The name of the Ceceased was Charles Debron, he came to his death on the morning of the 17th of April, 1854 inthe town of Nevada, from the effeets of an old fracture in the skull, caused by a charge of shot, from a gun, lodged in the back part of the head, combined with an excessive use of alcoholic drinks.

The law under which this school is organized, includes aLL cHiLDREN between the ages of four and eighteen years of age without making any exceptions. But very many of our citizens object, in the most bitter terms to this mixing the two colors in such close contact and direct equality. The plain and more generous interpretation of the enigma would be that a separate school room should be occupied by them, as nearly all admit the propriety of having them educated. New Corn. —Adams & Co. having made the first deposit of gold dust at the U. S. Branch mint at San Francisco, have received the return therefrom, a specimen of which in $20 pieces was shown us by the gentlemanly agent o' that enterprising company in this place, one day this week. It is a most beautiful coin, and, like the branches at Dahlonega’ and New Orleans, is marked with an S. under the eagle, to distinguish it from the issue of other mints. We are truly glad to see this coin among us. We have always suffered severely for want of a sufficient amount of coin to answer the purposes of trade in California , and this, the only remedy that ever could fully effect what we have so much needed, we have no doubt will soon remedy the evil.

Perhsps it is one of the best ways to raise the money, but it is by no means indispensable to save the city from Joss.

My pear Civittay, alias, C1-Vintam, alias ! Servine-one :—Having recovered from a vio ‘ent fit of admiration brought on by reading your latest essay, 1 embrace the first chance to The Eastern War. The last news from the seat of the Eastern War, bears no strikingly new aspect. Preparations are steadily and even rapidly going on throaghont Europe. Diplomacy, however, is constantly busy with her attempts, ostensible or real, to parry off the blow which threatens so seriously the peace of the world. Austria. however, has signified her intention of acting with the western powers, against her overgrown and dictating neighbor, and Prussia it is thought will soon follow the example. Some have prophesied that Russia, with her acknowledged tact in diplomacy, would eventually succeed, in part at least, in the accomplishment of her ends, so as to withdraw her forces in honor, from the Turkish dominions.— Others are of opinion that her diplomatic dejays are only intended to lull to sleep the united powers that she may have the opportunity to win one signal victory before active hostilities are commenced by the Western powers, and thus, making a virtue of necessity, patronizingly seem to acquiesce in their demands, while her prosperity is at its height, giving her a pretext to demand in the s¢ttlement, at least a part of her former requirements. Russia, has long been accustomed thus to gain her ends, by littles. Her encr: achments having been gradual. until she has gained a fvoting, and then by a display of her unwieldy proportions, awe her neighbors into silence, rather than venture in what seems to be so unequal a combat. Her . of the world and lay aside the animosities they so much loved to cherish towards each other.-—— Diplomaey set itself to work to accomplish 8 peaceful termination to the affair, even thongh it should be done by the sacrifice of another slice of ‘Turkey at the altar of Russian arrogance. But the Porte was resolute, and no further concession would be made. The bully was compelled, much against his will to fight, and the first campaign has been gloriously won by Turkey, single handed, against Russia, ponderous as her power has been admitted to be. At this juncture another powerful thought seized upon the brain of the “ Four Powers :” If we do not see Turkey righted in this matter, there is another young giant west of the Atlantic that will. America must not be allowed . s0 broad a pretext for the introduction into Europe of her republican principles. Her people are ripe for the occasion, and her resources ample; she will not stand by with folded arms and see the outrage perpetrated in cold blood. . If she is allowed once to gain a footing by in. terfering in so good a cause, where and when will her influence cease to be felt. Once let . the principles of republican freedom get a footing in the east, and Poland, Switzerland, Hungary, more re-kindle the fires of Liberty—despots, Monarchs, K ings and Potentates may be summoned to answer at the bar of republicanism nay, even Ireland and Greece may once encroachments date back to the time of Peter for the deeds of centuries, arid the verdict will lighter, or even vulgar, caravans that travca . “The Secretary, commanded by Capt. ¢ : : E.

Party feeling seems to have too much to do with thé whole matter, and this is embarrissing its progress. By its amended charter the city has power to subscribe the above named sum. <A party of men some three or four weeks since issued a call for a meeting, made themselves officers. §c, and subscribed altogether about $1,000 to the road. The city put down its $350,000, and all went on swimmingly. till the citizens began to ask how much bonds the city would have to issue to raise its proportion. On figuring up probabilities it was set down to half a million. Public opinion finally grew so strong in the matter that the compiny dissolved. general call was then issued. signed by nineteen cilizens, eight of whom convened last night, besides a large number of others interested. After many very idle discussions about preli-:inaries, such as if the eight could act for the nine required by statute, induced by remains of jealousy on the part of the defunct organization, the meeting went fairly at work. Gilbert E Winters, Mayor of Marysville, was elected president of the company. Horace Leach, Secretary, and Mark Brumagin, Treasurer. The company expect to obtain subscriptions in Marysville to the amount of $50,000; from the city, $2C0.000 in A new and more! that the attack was fata!.

You have much of that talent that makes the «‘ worse appear the better cause.” Still your memory is not as pliant as your conscience. By comparing your two versions of the facts you will see you have made, as Mr. Blackstone would call it, “s fatat variance.” In one you say the “gentleman” was taken “straightway” to the justice’s office, (the “head and front of the Marshal’s offend. ing,”) and certainly do not imply he presumed any “joke.” In the other you record a lapse of . time between the “joke” and its solution that . “destroys your case.” It ia also funny, dear sir, that the “fe who never promised to pay the fine,’ should “met in the street a little while after and asked if he Aad paid it.” F , “move a non-suit ” cash, and of Nevada county the balance.—} There is a fine pld proverb about the “ill.will In order to raise the $200,000 it is proof a dog,” and I don't believe the Marshal dethe Great, in 1689. When he ascended the throne, he found himself at the head of a vast inland territory, but a sparse population of semi-barbarians, who were far inferior in numbers and intelligence to the neighboring powers, whose territory cut him off from all outlets, save the Frozen Ocean and the Caspian Sea.—Peter the Great was seized with an insatiable, but rather laudable ambition, and wished to make Russia a great nation. But to accomplish this, outlets unnst be obtained for the development of the resources at his command. For this purpose he planned and developed the system of territorial aggrandisement so te nacicusly adhered to by his successors—often by open war, bat more frequently by means of intrigue. By the treaty of Neustadt in 1721, Russia obtained access to the Gulf of Finland. Poland has been absorbed at four successive mouthfuls in 1772, '93, 95 and 1815. To gain the command of the gulf of Bothnia, she took Finland from Sweden in 1809, which she has steadfastly refused to surrender even at the risk of a general war with Europe. In 1774 she gained a footing on the coast of the Black Sea, and in 1783,-Crimea and the Sea of Azof; in 1792, she gained the port of Odessa from Turkey ; and in 1812 the remaiuing slice of territory down to the river Prath and Danube. In the year 1829 she obtained the mouths of the Danube, together with territory and important fortresses on the Asiutic shore of the Black Sea. Moreover, she obtained, aud for scme time held possession of the Provinces of Wallachia, and when remonstrated with by the Ecropean powers, exacted in the stipniations that the Turkish troops should be withdrawn, and the forms of government set up by Russia should not be disturbed, and exacted the right to establish a quarantine on the Danube, which she did, greatly to the future annoyance of the commercial world, and by which she virtually gained all she had sought, these provinces now rendering to the Turkish government only a sort of feudal subserviency. But Russia was not yet satisfied She yet longed for the possession of Constantinople.— This by conquest, she knew would not be suffered by the nations of the world, and she must do the rest as a friend. She had now grown strong, and her ponderous proportions gave her easy access to the ears of her weaker neighbors, as they bad rather court her favors thar incur her displeasure. Conquest and diplomacy bad doue all they could; protection was to do the rest. The difficulty between Turkey and the Pacha of Egypt opened the way for this — Turkey engaged to assist Russia in all wars, by which means she was compelled to quarrel with all her friends ; while Russia agreed to protect Turkey against all enemies. France and England interfered with this, and.demanded a modification of the arrangement, by which Nicholas did not gain as complete control of the Princpalities as he dssired, though he had gained another step in bis march to power. In all this, let it be remembered the process by which Russia has affected most of her numcrous conquests, has been to take them under her protection, then fermment dissensions, and lastly apnex them to her territory to put an end to their troubles. Thus Russia had'laid the surrounding nations under obligations so vast that she implicitly believed none of them would offer any resistance to her desigas, and knowing that England and France should they interfere, must act in unison, which it was firmly believed never could be done—he looked upon the presevt as the proper time to strike the fatal blow against the Turkish sovereignty. He sent Prince Menzchikoff, with the ntmost pomp and tailitary display, to demand of the Turkish government the privilege of a Russian protectorate over all the Christian or Greek subjects of the Porte, amounting, it is supposed to about ten millions of souls, so that all their grievances, real or imagivary, must be brought to the Czar for redress, instead of their own lawful sover, . eign ; be oceupied the Principalities, and with his bullying—the suddenness and boldness of bis demands, at atime when Turkey was least prepared for the event, expected to gain his end. But, much as the Porte was inclined to yield to the dictates of his more powerful neighbor, Nicholas had gone too far. He knew that Austria and Prussia were under restraints by Russia; he knew that Eugland and France were joined to their favorite idols—wealth peace, commerce, and pleasure, and that: United States would hesitate to interfere in an European effairs ; anid thus he grapple alone with the giant. too much. He saw ata glance, surely leave them the losers. Thus are the other powers of Europe driven to execute justice,lest their suprineness may lead to a result the end of which may be to arouse the world to a more intimate knowledge of the captivating principles of republican liberty. Thus circumstanced, there is but little to fear from the indecision of the combined powers of Europe. Let Turkey steadfastly adhere to her integrity-—let her demand and accept nothing short of full and complete justice-—let her submit to no diplomatic propositions, and all she may ask, must, and will be awarded to ber. Towa Corporatiou. An election, we believe, is to be held on the first Monday of May, for a new Board \of Trustees, and other town officers. This organization has thus far been but an experiment, and is, as yet, but half tried. The ordinances passed by the present . board, are, of course, in some particulars, . imperfect, and in some instances, people have complained, perhaps justly of their ‘severity. If such be the case, it is not nec. essarily an objection to the organization of the corporation ; because the imperfections are no more than oversights in the legis. lative department, which may, and doubtles will be remedied as soon as time and experience can give adequate statistics for their correction. We do not think it is right to attach biame to those vested with ‘the duty of executing the laws, because wes are promptly executed, even if their operation should bear hard upon some of ‘our best citizens. In fact it is necessary that such should be restrained fromm every impropriety, although they have the good of the community even so much at heart. For, with what inconsistency would our officers attempt to enforce any given ordinance, at any time, if those most honored among us are allowed to violate them with impunity? Every man is presumed to be an honest, good citizen, until he is proved to be otherwise, and if he does no more than good citizens do, what evidence that he is not. Toestablish a different rule, would not only be giving currency toa strange precedent, but would be legislating directly for one set of men at theexpense of another. All ourcorporation laws require, is that citizens should so conduct themselves as to secure to our inhabitants, peace, safety and quietude ; and it is no more than proper that those who regard themseives as superior to the more unworthy, should show their superiority by an implicit obedience to wholesome laws. But there are some vital improprieties yet in eur town, for the abatement of which we have Icoed for wi h considerable solic. itude, but which thus far have not been touched. San Francisco and Sacramento have both set an example worthy of imitation; and though the accomplishment of 80 desirable an object may cause some re. sistance on the part of those interested, we . can see no good reason why the attempt should not be made. Let these things be . bourne in mind ‘oo, at the coming election . —and, if possible, elect men as trustees, who are willing, for the sake of decency i and the peace of the town, to bear a little of the calumnies which are necessarily . heaped upon chose who: will discharge a known duty—and a marshal who will fearlessly and resolutely enforce the laws , of the board. There are imperfections, too in some of . the present ordinances, which shou'd be remedicd without delay. We may note that of a tax of $15 for each performance, on concerts, theatres, §«. This, in connection with the state and county tax of $10, amounts to almost 2 prohibition. This, when zpplied to Circuses, would be well enough. The latter contract almost no local expense, and are patronized to an ex; . tnt entirely beyond the anticipation of ny might be left to But this was. tax the community to the amount of thousif this were. ands, they leave but little to show for their those engaged in the more intellectual pursuits of music and thedrama While they . a certain amount of opium was purchased for him the day before, and a suspicion gained currency that he had committed suicide. In consequence of this, another jury was summoned, and a more rigid exof several physicians. It was found that seme time ago, he had received a charge of shot in the back part of his head ; fracturing his skull, but which had never been tem examination, (over twenty,) and that the wound was even yet supparating, and fragments of the bone had frequently been discharged. Fiom this cause his brain was highly inflamed. and this inflamm:tion increased by the immoderate’ use of alcoholic drinks.

But very many of our citizens object, in the most bitter terms to this mixing the two colors in such close contact and direct equality.

We are truly glad to see this coin among us.

Delano’s travels across the plains. It is a volume of 384 pages, neatiy printed and bound, and is embellished with numerous engravings characteristic of the scenes of an overland journey to California. Though written by the veritable “Old Block,” the style is of that pure simplicity which gives to a narrative more than half of its enchantment. From the cursory review we have given it, we believe it te be one of the best volumes of the times, and certainly will lose nothing by a comparison with any other book of travels in existence.

He emigrated to California in 1849, leaving his wife and children (two children) in Medford Soon after his arrival in California, he received the melancholy intelligence of his wife's decease, and about the same time met with several severe reverses in his pecuniary affairs, through the uncertain chances of misfortune aud the cupidity of lawless men.’ Never disheartened by his reverses, he came to Nevada in the spring of 1850, and has remained During his residence here he has won for himself the esteem of all who chanced to be thrown into his company, and the gratitude of many obliged friends. “As a C.
