RESON eet OES THE NEVADA JOURNAL. FRIDAY MORNING, APRIL 5, 1861. Tue Lares Sroru.—The accounts that are gathering In of the effects of the late storm are rather full, and denote a vast deal of damage done all over the State, but more particularly in the central and southern counties, where the small streams have been flanked by smiling gardens to a greater extent than in the northern parts. The small streams comparatively or entirely dry in the summer became filled with torAspects of the Secession Question. _ If the policy of the Administration in its course towards the secession:stsis correctly interpreted, the first object of the President and the Cabinet is to held the border Slave States from joint co-operation with the revattachment between those States and the Union. The policy of the course, like all other questions depending upon time for a solution, is open to discussion, and while we concede to the powers that be at Washington the highest patriotism, and place in a great degree our trust in them, we may be permitted to examine the policy of concesrents that came tearing down from the mountains, overfiowing the banks and in a few houts sweeping away the gardens and erchards, ard even the soil on which they grew. The detaiis of the food are really discouraging. Whole vineyards, nurseries, houses, and every thing that make homes delightful, have been utterly destroyed or dadly injured. Gardens have been denuded of the soil or covered to the depth of feet with sand and tailings, rendering them entirely valueless. We hear of deep and wide channels cut through valuable ranches, grounds covered up beyond the hope of wvedemption, cattle, fences, buildings, bridges, carried away. The loss of property by the flood is immense, far surpassing that caused by any similar disaster in this State. Srvator Evectep.—‘The long agony is over.” (sterreotyped.) Gen. McDougall was elected on Tuesday by a majority of) fire in joint convention, and after receiv. ing his credential from the Governor will . be on his winding way to the U. S. Senate. . The General has cause to congratulate himeelf on his good luck, like nearly ali who have gore from this State as Representa. tives at Washington. If he keeps away . from Georgetown andthe banks, and the saloons, and Willard’s, and the bars, and out of bad company, and sober, and goes in for the Union without variableness, and studies the wants of California and is industrious, we have faith to believe he will . make a better Senator by a hundred per cent than John B. Weller. Well say this for him if we go to for it. Ix tHE Rieut Direction:—Mr. Banks, of San Francisco, offered « resolution in the Assembly on Saturday, that the number of Senators becut down to not exceeding thirty and AssembJymen to sixty, under the new apportlonment. The suggestion of Mr. Banks, if carried out, would save the State . a great deai of expense. He said traly, in . his remarks on the occasion of the introduction of the resolution, that fifty Assemblymen and twenty-five Senators would accomplish more legislation and pass fewer . bad laws than the present number. We have no doubt that the people would vote . if they had a chance for seventy-five LegisjJators in place of the one hundred and fif. teen at present employed in the service of . the State. The saving in per diem alone would be four hundred dollars a day, for . the first ninety days, and two hundred dol. lars a day for the after part of the session. . The saving could be safely put at uot less . than fifty’ thousand dollars a year if Mr . Banks’ ideas could be carried ont. Pacirtc Rai Roap.—Messrs Huntington and Bailey, of Sacramento, were in town . on Wednesday collecting the first assessment of ten per cent on the stock subscribed in this city in the Rail Road across the mountains. We learn the whole amount due was paid in. Messrs H. and B. proceeded to Grass Valley to visit stockholders in that place. We learn from these gentlemen that the subscriptions have been paid in Sacramento almost without an exception, and that . sion to the extent to which it finds advocates amongUnion men all over thecountry. It is well dnown that the position of Virginia as assumed by the executive of that commonwealth, is that the Federal troops shall have no passage through that State to enforce the laws, The Constitution makes it obligatory upon the General Government to protect a State against invasion and insurrection Virginia has as much right to interpose in favor of a foreign as a domesmestic foe. If she is to be permitted to dictate terms to the Federal Government in case of an insurrection she can with no less treachery decide in case of an iavasion to take sides with a foreign army. Virginia has, through her Executive and her Senators in Congress, given evidence that her heart is not right towards the Union. If . she stands disloyal now, if the representative heads of the State are an index of the people, about which there may be some fections of the old Commonwealth are to be regained for the Union? So far as expressed, the bulk of the evidence is that the enemies of the country, and this is an unhappy omen. It is true, the people sent what are called Union men to the State Convention ; but they were generally not Union men without an if, but conditional Union men. In other words, they were for Union if the Cotton States pleased, otherwise not. Now, we inquire, can any one pretend he sees clearly that all the old affection for the Union of our fathers is going to be revived in the bosoms of Virginians—and when we say Virginians we take them asa type of the border State men—by the conciliatory course of the President? We hope, with the majority of true Americans; but we cannot see much foundation for sanguine expectation. Virginia has not arisen in arms but she has taken a position hostile to the Constitution and in rapport with the revolutionists. If there is good ground for beleiving ber people are lovers of the Constitution and the Union, and will yet be found battling for the right, cenciliation may be the right policy. But if she is to adhere to the policy thus far anneunced for her by Letcher, Mason and Hunter, the sooner she is cut loose from the loyal States the better. For weentertain no ideathat South Carolina will ever again recognize herself a State of the Union unless forced to do so by the very measures Virginia says she will not sanction. While the voice of the auticoercionists is heard in the National Councils, and while anti-coercion is proclaimed olutionists, and to strengthen the bonds of NO COERCION. The New York Tribune favors allowing the seceding States to go off in a tangent Joseph C. McKibbin has been defeated as and do as they please independent of the . Boundary Commissioner by Ferris Forman, Unien. The Tribune is a wide-spread, able and influential journal, and its doctrines are bound to obtain some hold on the minds of its thousands of readers. We regret it has seen fit to advocate such a policy, for a respectable republican government in America no longer possible. It will be a recognition of the right of a State te secede on remaining in a Union from one year to another. It would be a virtual disruption of all national bonds, a destruction of American prestige and credit abroad. Admit such a doctrineto be true and a foreign loan could not be effected on the credit of the Government for adollar. There would be no security that the loan would ever be . paid. A dissolution of aconfederacy might take place in order to avoid the payment of . the debt. Does any one suppose that had foreign capitalists entertained the same idea of the American Government that the South . now does that bonds of the Government . would have sold for a premium in Europe ? No, capitalists in England and Holland would have had them at no price. It was only because they thought the American Government possessed of stability and durability that they invested in such stocks. Admit the right of secession, and allow the South to go without coercion, and the bonds of the free States would find no market in > . 1 3 ic a doubt, can any one see clearly how the af-. Europe and only among men of marked . of them in the Legislature have gone on patriotism at home. Who doubts but that they would only finda sale ata ruinous discount? No other supposition can be sympathies of the State are enlisted for the . entertained. Mexico is a country of vast . cans should now and then show their indenatural resources, yet her government is so weak and uncertain that her credit is good for nothing. She could not negotiate a loan of fifty cents on the strength of the faith of the government. Great Britain, overburthened with a debt, can borrow a thousand millions when needed. Why ?— Because capitalists are sanguine the government is safe, and they are sure of the interest on their money. The notes of Great Britain are good in any market. But ict her admit the right of all her colonies to withdraw, of Scotland, Ireland, and each individual county to secede at will, and she might beg for assistance in vain. The American Government can establish millions in a coercive war, even if it fails, as will be seen to increase the number by than by remaining inactive and allowing . States to withdraw from the Union at pleas. ure. <A war with secessionists will demonstrate to the world that the American Gov. ernment means to act in good faith to maintain its integrity. It will show how we understand the Constitution, our national bond, and command respect by showing we . intend to protect and defend it. A silent . acquiescence in the demands of the seces. sionists would be interpreted as caused by weakness or pusillanimity, and no nation . can maintain caste suspected of either. } BOUNDARY COMMISSIONER. It is mortifying to record the fact that Cavirornta Waite Oax.—The Califernia Fatmer informs us that Mr. Chas. A. Lovering has discovered white oak of the very best quality, on Albion river, Mendecino county. There is any quantity of this timber theteaboats.— and that too ey Republican votes.

Gee Paciric MAIL STEAMSHIP COMPANY TO PANAMA, let it obtain in the country and we regard . a better credit by ezpending five hundred . ang the consequent expense, it is proposed the manly stand taken by McKibbin and almost alonein favorof the right on the Lecempton question, we did not suppose there could be a right thinking men in tie State but would be willing to recognize substantially Ate eteatservices. It seems that even Republicans are not exempt from the baseness of ingratitude, for when a contest came at its option, and no State could be counted . between a man who had served his country faithfully,and a fossiliferous Lecomptonite, . a few Republicans chose to assist the latter. But it does not become the Donglas men in the present Legislature or out to curse at this resuit. They nave put forth their men for the positions to ve filled by the . Legislature without reference to the cheice of the Republicans at all, without whose assistance they could hope to do nothing. A caucus of Donglasites nominates candi. dates and then thes leokfimploringly to the . Republicans for votes, after excluding them from having a voice in the nominations.— Men elected by the Douglas party have bolted and have gone over to the enemy when . the trial came, and yet we undertake to say . that Crocker has been cursed five times in . this vicinity where Miller has been ence, for . . not voting for McDougall on the last bailott . of the first joint convention. Whenever an . oppertanity occurs a part of the Douglas. ites show their sensitiveness of an affilia'tien with the Republicans, aad the whole jand nominated whomever they chose, re . gardless of the preferences of the Republicans. It is not strange that the Republi. pendence and the weakness of the Douglas . men without their aid, as they did in voting . for Forman, though we very much regret they selected that occasion. But, as we . said before, it does not belongto the Douglas nen to curse those Republicans who voted fora Lecomptonite, pure and simple. jItis anact for the Republican masses to . remember and deplore. New Apportionment.—The Legislature is . aeting upon the proposition of a new ap. portionment for members of the LegislaWe . copy the following in relation to the mat. ture on the basis of the late census. ter from the Sac. Union of Tuesday. In. stead of lessening the number of members Nevada is also to be connected with Senatorial District. We are five. Placer in a . sure neither of these propositions will suit the people of this county. The basis of Senatorial apportionment is 9,500, and, for member of Assembly, 4,750. The number of Senators is increased from 35 to 40, the highest constitutional limit; but the Assembly retains its present number of mem bers. The following is to be the ratio of representation among the several counties and Senatorial districts: San Francisco and San Ma. teo, six Senators; Assemblymea—twelve to Saa . Francisco, six to San K-teo; Santa Clara, one Senator, three Assembiymen; Alameda, one Senator, two Assemblymen; Tuolumne, two Forr Sumter Evaccatep.—The last Pony . brings intelligence that Fort Sumter was as the irreversible policy of the border States, it is plain the Government must either submit to a peaceable disruption of the Union or let the border States go with The border States if retained can never be anything but a clog to the free State Union, if the indications of popular sentiment in those States are to be relied on. Their attitude is apparently that of shielding scoundrels from justice. They are like lawyers, ready to take a fee from whatever side offers most. If retained with the Northern States the rest of the revolutionary ones. the company will permanently organize at an early day in accordance with the requirements of the State law. Tue Sac., AusuRN anp Nevapa RatbRoap is regarded as a fixed fact by the Placer Herald. That paper of the 30th ult. says a contract has been given L. L. Robinson, Esq., a gentleman of abundant means, to furnish the iron, chairs, spikes, and laying the track of the first section of thirteen miles. The terms of a running contract have also been arranged with the Sac. Valley Railroad. The subscriptions to the stock have already reachen the estimates of Mr. Day, the Engineer, and the steps will . are decidedly not in favor of dishonoring. pect a resolution to adjourn to pass both be taken to put workmen on the road at an/. the Government by any concession te the. houses before many days elapse, particuearly day. The Herald says truly, that the building . mad-caps of the South will ever place them. ing in Sacramento for. of the road will make a new and prosperous era not only to Auburn but the country above that town. Damwaces BY THE Froop.—The Hydraulic Press, of Saturday last, gives a list of the damages by flood in the northern part of the county and thereabouts. We condense: One of the abutments of Freeman’s Bridge across the Middle Yuba, is damaged. The bridge is in immi. nent danger. Itis said a large number of flumes at the head of the Middle Yuba Ditch have been carvied’ away and the ditch for several miles in extent has been severely damaged, and filled with Foose earth, sand and timber. The new reservoir recently constructed by Mr. Northop, for the Middle Yuba Ditch Company, sustained considerable injury and was only saved from destruction by the superhuman exertions of the workmen employed on it. The Eureka Lake Company sustained considit can only be done by the latter summitting to dictation, or the understanding is made public that these border States have the right to secede whenever the whim is taken. Now, in view of the circumstances, if there is not a prospect of uniting the border States to the Union indissolubly, would it not be better without delay, to adopt a diferent policy from that announced in the inaugural of President Lincoln? We take the ground that none but a degrading compromise can be made with the Cotton States so long as they are ir arms and holding possession of the national property, and we secessionists. Does any one suppose the selves in a position that the Government can honorably treat with them? The demagogues have possession of the arms, the ears of the people, and the circulating literature of the South, and the masses cannot be enlightened if they would, While the demagogues hold such power there can be no honorable means of compromise.— They laugh in their sleeves to see the pseudo Unionists of Virginia acting as their most potent ally in holding the Union in a sweet palaver, while they are preparing to stab it to the vitals. The Union as a whole can never be restored, we are convinced, except by degrading concessions or by force. The first is not to be thought of, and what of the latter? Either force must be employed or the Southern Confederacy be acknowledged independent. And here arises the inquiry ; erable damage. The diggings on Shady Creek have been filled and injured, and the roads leading out of North San Juan have been rendered almost impassa“Wa. McNutry, formerly a prominent merchant of Sacramento, committed suicide in San Francisco, on the 29th ult. by shooting himself through the heart with a pistol. Mr. McNulty had been crippled by fires and losses, and IatThe . information is exceedingly mortifying.— Nothing but regret is heard on the streets, . The hope is expressed that the move may) prove a politic one, but the hope is not . unmixed with fear that it isnot. All admit . that General Scott and the President and Cabinet ought to know better than we can . what course is best to pursue. yet the evacuation of Fort Sumter is satisfactory to none but secessionists, and they are jubi. lant, and taunting the Administration with cowardice. We should not tell the trath . were we to say we are pleased with the . news. If the Government has not power . to maintain Fort Sumter against a rabble, the Union is not worth defending. We offer the prediction that no good will result from this submission to the rebels. to be evacuated on the 23d of March. ABOUT TIME TO AVJoURN.—The prevailing opinion appears to be that the Legislature ought to begin to think of adjourning. It would be a pity to lose the valuable ser. vices of the Solons at the capital, but the people are getting penurious and prefer dollars to legislative labors. As Legislators are extremely anxious to reflect the wishes of their constituents, we shall exlarly as five dollars aday is not worth staySenatontaL Vote.—The following is the vote by which Gen.

Mistse Invention. —San Juan is a great place for inventive genius. In addition to what has been already produced, witness the following. The San Juan Press says: San Juan boasts another inventor. Our neighbor, Jo. Thomas, has just completed the model of a drum for saving gold in quartz mining, which, it strikes us, must come into general use, and which can be seen on the hill in the rear of Mr. Soule’s residence. The invention is a sheet-iron drum, ten feet in length and three in diamecer, in exact resemblance to a steam boiler. An iron axle traverses the center of the interior, longitudinally, which is held to its place by six series of spokes, with felloes, like those of a wagon wheel, which felloes are joined and form complete circles around the inside of the drum, and serve as “ rifles,” against which the quicksilver is deposited, The drum is placed at an angle of one-half inch to the foot, and has a rotary motion in a box, similar in appearance to a wayside watering trough, at one end ef which there is a gate for the escape of sand, gavel and water.— The pulverized quatz is precipitated with a steady stream of water into this revolving drum, where the current becomes almost imperceptible and is yet so complete as to permit the escape of all the tailings without the loss of any gold, or what little may escape from the drum is sure to be caught in the trongh, where there is alsoa deposit of quicksilver. Mr. Thomas has made an application for a patent. Parson Browxtow Ta.Kks Ovt.—Brownlow, of the Knoxville Whig, says: There is scartely a man of talentand character living, even at the North, under whose administration of the General Government I would not prefer to live, rather than live in a Southern Confederacy,controlled and governed by the traitors and villains who have originated and bave carried out this wicked, daring and damnable scheme of secession. The Senators of seven States have been sitting in their seats as Senators, sworn to support the Constitution of the United States, and if the independence of that Confederacy is . y.th San Juan are taking steps to build a new . to act as the Privy Council of the President, and to be acknowledged, where should the boundary lines be established? For one, we say, if Cotton is King we want none of his satraps or subjects. Let them go where their heart’s allegiance dictates. Take the sympathies and political sense of the people, and wherever the Calhoun idea of the Guvernment prevails, we do not want them in and commodious theatre at that place. §2,500 have been already subscribed. Mr. Mitzer explained his vote for Nugent in the last Senatorial convention after his old style. He voted for Nugant because McDougall could get along without his vote.

RESON eet OES THE NEVADA JOURNAL. FRIDAY MORNING, APRIL 5, 1861. Tue Lares Sroru.—The accounts that are gathering In of the effects of the late storm are rather full, and denote a vast deal of damage done all over the State, but more particularly in the central and southern counties, where the small streams have been flanked by smiling gardens to a greater extent than in the northern parts. The small streams comparatively or entirely dry in the summer became filled with torAspects of the Secession Question. _ If the policy of the Administration in its course towards the secession:stsis correctly interpreted, the first object of the President and the Cabinet is to held the border Slave States from joint co-operation with the revattachment between those States and the Union. The policy of the course, like all other questions depending upon time for a solution, is open to discussion, and while we concede to the powers that be at Washington the highest patriotism, and place in a great degree our trust in them, we may be permitted to examine the policy of concesrents that came tearing down from the mountains, overfiowing the banks and in a few houts sweeping away the gardens and erchards, ard even the soil on which they grew. The detaiis of the food are really discouraging. Whole vineyards, nurseries, houses, and every thing that make homes delightful, have been utterly destroyed or dadly injured. Gardens have been denuded of the soil or covered to the depth of feet with sand and tailings, rendering them entirely valueless. We hear of deep and wide channels cut through valuable ranches, grounds covered up beyond the hope of wvedemption, cattle, fences, buildings, bridges, carried away. The loss of property by the flood is immense, far surpassing that caused by any similar disaster in this State. Srvator Evectep.—‘The long agony is over.” (sterreotyped.) Gen. McDougall was elected on Tuesday by a majority of) fire in joint convention, and after receiv. ing his credential from the Governor will . be on his winding way to the U. S. Senate. . The General has cause to congratulate himeelf on his good luck, like nearly ali who have gore from this State as Representa. tives at Washington. If he keeps away . from Georgetown andthe banks, and the saloons, and Willard’s, and the bars, and out of bad company, and sober, and goes in for the Union without variableness, and studies the wants of California and is industrious, we have faith to believe he will . make a better Senator by a hundred per cent than John B. Weller. Well say this for him if we go to for it. Ix tHE Rieut Direction:—Mr. Banks, of San Francisco, offered « resolution in the Assembly on Saturday, that the number of Senators becut down to not exceeding thirty and AssembJymen to sixty, under the new apportlonment. The suggestion of Mr. Banks, if carried out, would save the State . a great deai of expense. He said traly, in . his remarks on the occasion of the introduction of the resolution, that fifty Assemblymen and twenty-five Senators would accomplish more legislation and pass fewer . bad laws than the present number. We have no doubt that the people would vote . if they had a chance for seventy-five LegisjJators in place of the one hundred and fif. teen at present employed in the service of . the State. The saving in per diem alone would be four hundred dollars a day, for . the first ninety days, and two hundred dol. lars a day for the after part of the session. . The saving could be safely put at uot less . than fifty’ thousand dollars a year if Mr . Banks’ ideas could be carried ont. Pacirtc Rai Roap.—Messrs Huntington and Bailey, of Sacramento, were in town . on Wednesday collecting the first assessment of ten per cent on the stock subscribed in this city in the Rail Road across the mountains. We learn the whole amount due was paid in. Messrs H. and B. proceeded to Grass Valley to visit stockholders in that place. We learn from these gentlemen that the subscriptions have been paid in Sacramento almost without an exception, and that . sion to the extent to which it finds advocates amongUnion men all over thecountry. It is well dnown that the position of Virginia as assumed by the executive of that commonwealth, is that the Federal troops shall have no passage through that State to enforce the laws, The Constitution makes it obligatory upon the General Government to protect a State against invasion and insurrection Virginia has as much right to interpose in favor of a foreign as a domesmestic foe. If she is to be permitted to dictate terms to the Federal Government in case of an insurrection she can with no less treachery decide in case of an iavasion to take sides with a foreign army. Virginia has, through her Executive and her Senators in Congress, given evidence that her heart is not right towards the Union. If . she stands disloyal now, if the representative heads of the State are an index of the people, about which there may be some fections of the old Commonwealth are to be regained for the Union? So far as expressed, the bulk of the evidence is that the enemies of the country, and this is an unhappy omen. It is true, the people sent what are called Union men to the State Convention ; but they were generally not Union men without an if, but conditional Union men. In other words, they were for Union if the Cotton States pleased, otherwise not. Now, we inquire, can any one pretend he sees clearly that all the old affection for the Union of our fathers is going to be revived in the bosoms of Virginians—and when we say Virginians we take them asa type of the border State men—by the conciliatory course of the President? We hope, with the majority of true Americans; but we cannot see much foundation for sanguine expectation. Virginia has not arisen in arms but she has taken a position hostile to the Constitution and in rapport with the revolutionists. If there is good ground for beleiving ber people are lovers of the Constitution and the Union, and will yet be found battling for the right, cenciliation may be the right policy. But if she is to adhere to the policy thus far anneunced for her by Letcher, Mason and Hunter, the sooner she is cut loose from the loyal States the better. For weentertain no ideathat South Carolina will ever again recognize herself a State of the Union unless forced to do so by the very measures Virginia says she will not sanction. While the voice of the auticoercionists is heard in the National Councils, and while anti-coercion is proclaimed olutionists, and to strengthen the bonds of NO COERCION. The New York Tribune favors allowing the seceding States to go off in a tangent Joseph C. McKibbin has been defeated as and do as they please independent of the . Boundary Commissioner by Ferris Forman, Unien. The Tribune is a wide-spread, able and influential journal, and its doctrines are bound to obtain some hold on the minds of its thousands of readers. We regret it has seen fit to advocate such a policy, for a respectable republican government in America no longer possible. It will be a recognition of the right of a State te secede on remaining in a Union from one year to another. It would be a virtual disruption of all national bonds, a destruction of American prestige and credit abroad. Admit such a doctrineto be true and a foreign loan could not be effected on the credit of the Government for adollar. There would be no security that the loan would ever be . paid. A dissolution of aconfederacy might take place in order to avoid the payment of . the debt. Does any one suppose that had foreign capitalists entertained the same idea of the American Government that the South . now does that bonds of the Government . would have sold for a premium in Europe ? No, capitalists in England and Holland would have had them at no price. It was only because they thought the American Government possessed of stability and durability that they invested in such stocks. Admit the right of secession, and allow the South to go without coercion, and the bonds of the free States would find no market in > . 1 3 ic a doubt, can any one see clearly how the af-. Europe and only among men of marked . of them in the Legislature have gone on patriotism at home. Who doubts but that they would only finda sale ata ruinous discount? No other supposition can be sympathies of the State are enlisted for the . entertained. Mexico is a country of vast . cans should now and then show their indenatural resources, yet her government is so weak and uncertain that her credit is good for nothing. She could not negotiate a loan of fifty cents on the strength of the faith of the government. Great Britain, overburthened with a debt, can borrow a thousand millions when needed. Why ?— Because capitalists are sanguine the government is safe, and they are sure of the interest on their money. The notes of Great Britain are good in any market. But ict her admit the right of all her colonies to withdraw, of Scotland, Ireland, and each individual county to secede at will, and she might beg for assistance in vain. The American Government can establish millions in a coercive war, even if it fails, as will be seen to increase the number by than by remaining inactive and allowing . States to withdraw from the Union at pleas. ure. <A war with secessionists will demonstrate to the world that the American Gov. ernment means to act in good faith to maintain its integrity. It will show how we understand the Constitution, our national bond, and command respect by showing we . intend to protect and defend it. A silent . acquiescence in the demands of the seces. sionists would be interpreted as caused by weakness or pusillanimity, and no nation . can maintain caste suspected of either. } BOUNDARY COMMISSIONER.

It seems that even Republicans are not exempt from the baseness of ingratitude, for when a contest came at its option, and no State could be counted . between a man who had served his country faithfully,and a fossiliferous Lecomptonite, . a few Republicans chose to assist the latter. But it does not become the Donglas men in the present Legislature or out to curse at this resuit. They nave put forth their men for the positions to ve filled by the . Legislature without reference to the cheice of the Republicans at all, without whose assistance they could hope to do nothing. A caucus of Donglasites nominates candi. dates and then thes leokfimploringly to the . Republicans for votes, after excluding them from having a voice in the nominations.— Men elected by the Douglas party have bolted and have gone over to the enemy when . the trial came, and yet we undertake to say . that Crocker has been cursed five times in . this vicinity where Miller has been ence, for . . not voting for McDougall on the last bailott . of the first joint convention. Whenever an . oppertanity occurs a part of the Douglas. ites show their sensitiveness of an affilia'tien with the Republicans, aad the whole jand nominated whomever they chose, re . gardless of the preferences of the Republicans. It is not strange that the Republi. pendence and the weakness of the Douglas . men without their aid, as they did in voting . for Forman, though we very much regret they selected that occasion. But, as we . said before, it does not belongto the Douglas nen to curse those Republicans who voted fora Lecomptonite, pure and simple. jItis anact for the Republican masses to . remember and deplore. New Apportionment.—The Legislature is . aeting upon the proposition of a new ap. portionment for members of the LegislaWe . copy the following in relation to the mat. ture on the basis of the late census. ter from the Sac. Union of Tuesday. In. stead of lessening the number of members Nevada is also to be connected with Senatorial District. We are five. Placer in a . sure neither of these propositions will suit the people of this county. The basis of Senatorial apportionment is 9,500, and, for member of Assembly, 4,750. The number of Senators is increased from 35 to 40, the highest constitutional limit; but the Assembly retains its present number of mem bers. The following is to be the ratio of representation among the several counties and Senatorial districts: San Francisco and San Ma. teo, six Senators; Assemblymea—twelve to Saa . Francisco, six to San K-teo; Santa Clara, one Senator, three Assembiymen; Alameda, one Senator, two Assemblymen; Tuolumne, two Forr Sumter Evaccatep.—The last Pony . brings intelligence that Fort Sumter was as the irreversible policy of the border States, it is plain the Government must either submit to a peaceable disruption of the Union or let the border States go with The border States if retained can never be anything but a clog to the free State Union, if the indications of popular sentiment in those States are to be relied on. Their attitude is apparently that of shielding scoundrels from justice. They are like lawyers, ready to take a fee from whatever side offers most. If retained with the Northern States the rest of the revolutionary ones. the company will permanently organize at an early day in accordance with the requirements of the State law. Tue Sac., AusuRN anp Nevapa RatbRoap is regarded as a fixed fact by the Placer Herald. That paper of the 30th ult. says a contract has been given L. L. Robinson, Esq., a gentleman of abundant means, to furnish the iron, chairs, spikes, and laying the track of the first section of thirteen miles. The terms of a running contract have also been arranged with the Sac. Valley Railroad. The subscriptions to the stock have already reachen the estimates of Mr. Day, the Engineer, and the steps will . are decidedly not in favor of dishonoring. pect a resolution to adjourn to pass both be taken to put workmen on the road at an/. the Government by any concession te the. houses before many days elapse, particuearly day. The Herald says truly, that the building . mad-caps of the South will ever place them. ing in Sacramento for. of the road will make a new and prosperous era not only to Auburn but the country above that town. Damwaces BY THE Froop.—The Hydraulic Press, of Saturday last, gives a list of the damages by flood in the northern part of the county and thereabouts. We condense: One of the abutments of Freeman’s Bridge across the Middle Yuba, is damaged. The bridge is in immi. nent danger. Itis said a large number of flumes at the head of the Middle Yuba Ditch have been carvied’ away and the ditch for several miles in extent has been severely damaged, and filled with Foose earth, sand and timber. The new reservoir recently constructed by Mr. Northop, for the Middle Yuba Ditch Company, sustained considerable injury and was only saved from destruction by the superhuman exertions of the workmen employed on it. The Eureka Lake Company sustained considit can only be done by the latter summitting to dictation, or the understanding is made public that these border States have the right to secede whenever the whim is taken. Now, in view of the circumstances, if there is not a prospect of uniting the border States to the Union indissolubly, would it not be better without delay, to adopt a diferent policy from that announced in the inaugural of President Lincoln? We take the ground that none but a degrading compromise can be made with the Cotton States so long as they are ir arms and holding possession of the national property, and we secessionists. Does any one suppose the selves in a position that the Government can honorably treat with them? The demagogues have possession of the arms, the ears of the people, and the circulating literature of the South, and the masses cannot be enlightened if they would, While the demagogues hold such power there can be no honorable means of compromise.— They laugh in their sleeves to see the pseudo Unionists of Virginia acting as their most potent ally in holding the Union in a sweet palaver, while they are preparing to stab it to the vitals. The Union as a whole can never be restored, we are convinced, except by degrading concessions or by force. The first is not to be thought of, and what of the latter? Either force must be employed or the Southern Confederacy be acknowledged independent. And here arises the inquiry ; erable damage. The diggings on Shady Creek have been filled and injured, and the roads leading out of North San Juan have been rendered almost impassa“Wa. McNutry, formerly a prominent merchant of Sacramento, committed suicide in San Francisco, on the 29th ult. by shooting himself through the heart with a pistol. Mr. McNulty had been crippled by fires and losses, and IatThe . information is exceedingly mortifying.— Nothing but regret is heard on the streets, . The hope is expressed that the move may) prove a politic one, but the hope is not . unmixed with fear that it isnot. All admit . that General Scott and the President and Cabinet ought to know better than we can . what course is best to pursue. yet the evacuation of Fort Sumter is satisfactory to none but secessionists, and they are jubi. lant, and taunting the Administration with cowardice. We should not tell the trath . were we to say we are pleased with the . news. If the Government has not power . to maintain Fort Sumter against a rabble, the Union is not worth defending. We offer the prediction that no good will result from this submission to the rebels. to be evacuated on the 23d of March. ABOUT TIME TO AVJoURN.—The prevailing opinion appears to be that the Legislature ought to begin to think of adjourning. It would be a pity to lose the valuable ser. vices of the Solons at the capital, but the people are getting penurious and prefer dollars to legislative labors.

Mistse Invention. —San Juan is a great place for inventive genius. In addition to what has been already produced, witness the following. The San Juan Press says: San Juan boasts another inventor. Our neighbor, Jo. Thomas, has just completed the model of a drum for saving gold in quartz mining, which, it strikes us, must come into general use, and which can be seen on the hill in the rear of Mr. Soule’s residence. The invention is a sheet-iron drum, ten feet in length and three in diamecer, in exact resemblance to a steam boiler. An iron axle traverses the center of the interior, longitudinally, which is held to its place by six series of spokes, with felloes, like those of a wagon wheel, which felloes are joined and form complete circles around the inside of the drum, and serve as “ rifles,” against which the quicksilver is deposited, The drum is placed at an angle of one-half inch to the foot, and has a rotary motion in a box, similar in appearance to a wayside watering trough, at one end ef which there is a gate for the escape of sand, gavel and water.— The pulverized quatz is precipitated with a steady stream of water into this revolving drum, where the current becomes almost imperceptible and is yet so complete as to permit the escape of all the tailings without the loss of any gold, or what little may escape from the drum is sure to be caught in the trongh, where there is alsoa deposit of quicksilver. Mr. Thomas has made an application for a patent. Parson Browxtow Ta.Kks Ovt.—Brownlow, of the Knoxville Whig, says: There is scartely a man of talentand character living, even at the North, under whose administration of the General Government I would not prefer to live, rather than live in a Southern Confederacy,controlled and governed by the traitors and villains who have originated and bave carried out this wicked, daring and damnable scheme of secession. The Senators of seven States have been sitting in their seats as Senators, sworn to support the Constitution of the United States, and if the independence of that Confederacy is . y.th San Juan are taking steps to build a new . to act as the Privy Council of the President, and to be acknowledged, where should the boundary lines be established? For one, we say, if Cotton is King we want none of his satraps or subjects. Let them go where their heart’s allegiance dictates. Take the sympathies and political sense of the people, and wherever the Calhoun idea of the Guvernment prevails, we do not want them in and commodious theatre at that place. §2,500 have been already subscribed. Mr. Mitzer explained his vote for Nugent in the last Senatorial convention after his old style. He voted for Nugant because McDougall could get along without his vote.
