Sacramento Correspondence. Sacramento, Tuesday Eve., NEVADA JOURNAL. FRIDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 22. ? February, 19, 1856. f Since my last, several important acts have passcd the Legislature. Tilford’s Leave or Axsence.—In the Eastern States it frequently happens the pastor of a rich and fashionable congregation, after a year or two spent in labor for the spiritual welfare of those under his charge, finds his health precarious; a bronehial affecceived the sanction of the Senate. amendment to the law regulating the of Public Administrator, two Houses. An fees has passed the By this act the same fees amendments to the criminal law, have re-! tion or something of like nature, renders it necessary for him to take a change of air and scenery to recuperate. He kindly hints to his flock that the climate of Italy might have a salutary effect, and the brethren and sisters, desirous of prolonging the days of so good a enint, soon deerce that the ailing one shall take a foreign tour. He is accordingly provided agreeably to the regime formerly used in dispatching a minister plenipotentiary to a foreign court, with about $9000 outfit, $9000 infit and a like sum for salary. After atour through classic Italy, a sight at imperial Rome, Mount Blanc, and a peep at dissolute Paris, just enough to speak ofits vices from ocu'ar knowledge, the good man returns, a trifle more fashionable perhaps than” when he went, but with a mind enlarged and better fitted to grind out splendid sermons to upper tendom. Thisjis all very well, but the imitation of the custom by our State, District and County officials, is not relished so well by the people. Every year is our Legislature importuned by numerous officials, desirous of visiting their Atlantic homes, for leave of absence. Too often, for the interests of the State, and the constituencies of the applicants, have the desires of the persons wishing to migrate been complied with. Rarely has an application been reecutors and Administrators by the act reg-' are allowed Public Administrators, as cxulating the estates of deceased persons. . The Bill to attach Eureka South to! Nevada County, where it properly belongs, . has passed the Senate, and is now in the hands of the committee on Counties and County boundaries, in the House. An effort will be probably made to defeat it there, but it will prove ineffectual. The boundary line between Nevada and Sierra counties, by this bill, runs up the Middle! } . ' Yuba, to the south furk of the same, thence up said south fork to its source, thence cast to the Stateline. The boun-. dary recommended by Capt. Day, our County Surveyor, on an examination of a map of Sierra County, recently constructed, would have taken in Nevada County,. not only a large portion of the upper) part of Sierra, but some of Plumas coun'ty also. The Notary Bill was mercilessly killed . in the Senate by a strict party vote, on/. Wednesday last. The officers, therefore, . appointed by Bigler during the last hours . of his administration, will hold their offi. ees for two years, and Goy. Johnson is! \robbed of a large portion of his patronage. . The phalanx Senaters Caucus, itis said on every measure, in which the shadow of. . an advantage for their party can be seen, . or an opportunity offers to cripple their jopponents, and it is quite natural that . such should be the ease. jis but the prelude to dissolution.

The repairs of the rickety thing are so numerous, that perhaps itis the part of prudence to commence early in order to be ready in time. Nine months even will barely suffice, we fear, to put the train in good running trim again, so numerous were the bruises, and splintered parts made by the late collision. But evidently a semblance ef opposition is going to be gotten up by our track last fall, but the injuries sustained, Where does Gold come from?.

In our opinion gold exists in a form or in certain combinations as yet undiscovered, but which renders it peculiarly susceptible of There is an apparant revival in the dying invalid, which Hope then is buoyant with friends, they catch at every apparently favorable symptom, and flatter themselves that old attachments are notso soon to be severed.

Soldiers unfed by public rations, droop in the harness, ere the charge is sounded. Besides the most valiant army cannot fight ina bad and worthless cause.

While in this form itis conveyed by the electrie currents which traverse the earth between the poles, and deposited in the veins of quartz which intersect the courses of these currents, from which reason, as a general rule, those leads running east and west will be found richer than those running parallel with the electric poles. The subsequent decomposition of the quartz explains the manner in which the gravel leads are formed. That the gold was formed subsequent to the creation of most of the trap rocks is very evident. Quartz which is its invariable accompaniment is a crystaline deposit formed in the fissures of the trap as well as the appearance of the gold, taline process was completed, the electric currents that traversed the globe charged with boundless wealth the fortunate dis-. . preclude the possibility of there being a} tency.

A message from the President, relating miners, the question has been often asked . to Kansas aflzirs, was received and read to. day in the Senate. In the House, while the Clerk was calling the roll, the Door-keeper announced a message from the President. Mr. Campbell, of Ohio, objected to its reception, and a sudden excitement sprang up and much trouble ensued. Mr. Stevens, of Georgia, moved that the message be received, and demanded the previous question, which was sustained. The result of the 124th ballot was, Banks 195 Orr 68 ; Fuller 29; Bicaud 5, and Campbell, of Ohio, 3 ; scattering 5. The President’s message was then received and laid on the table, and the House adjourned, Mr. Buchanan writes that he will resign his mission on the 14th of February, whether his successor be nominated or not. {fnot, he will appoint Mr. Campbell, Consul at London.

The bill in question is an exact transcript of the present law, providing for the same officers, the same duties, and the same limitation to taxation. The object of the bill is to avoid the only difficulty in the old law—the one which furnished the excuse for the information of the late Attorney General, namely, that the incorporation was granted br the County Court, and not by the Legislature, whieh the Attorney General contended was unconstitutional. This question is now before the Supreme Court and the decision upon it by some deemed uncertain.

Some astounding facts have recently been brought to light in relation to the’ acts of the California Land Commission. ers, which you have seen in the papers of . San Francisco and this city.

Sacramento Correspondence. Sacramento, Tuesday Eve., NEVADA JOURNAL. FRIDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 22. ? February, 19, 1856. f Since my last, several important acts have passcd the Legislature. Tilford’s Leave or Axsence.—In the Eastern States it frequently happens the pastor of a rich and fashionable congregation, after a year or two spent in labor for the spiritual welfare of those under his charge, finds his health precarious; a bronehial affecceived the sanction of the Senate. amendment to the law regulating the of Public Administrator, two Houses. An fees has passed the By this act the same fees amendments to the criminal law, have re-! tion or something of like nature, renders it necessary for him to take a change of air and scenery to recuperate. He kindly hints to his flock that the climate of Italy might have a salutary effect, and the brethren and sisters, desirous of prolonging the days of so good a enint, soon deerce that the ailing one shall take a foreign tour. He is accordingly provided agreeably to the regime formerly used in dispatching a minister plenipotentiary to a foreign court, with about $9000 outfit, $9000 infit and a like sum for salary. After atour through classic Italy, a sight at imperial Rome, Mount Blanc, and a peep at dissolute Paris, just enough to speak ofits vices from ocu'ar knowledge, the good man returns, a trifle more fashionable perhaps than” when he went, but with a mind enlarged and better fitted to grind out splendid sermons to upper tendom. Thisjis all very well, but the imitation of the custom by our State, District and County officials, is not relished so well by the people. Every year is our Legislature importuned by numerous officials, desirous of visiting their Atlantic homes, for leave of absence. Too often, for the interests of the State, and the constituencies of the applicants, have the desires of the persons wishing to migrate been complied with. Rarely has an application been reecutors and Administrators by the act reg-' are allowed Public Administrators, as cxulating the estates of deceased persons. . The Bill to attach Eureka South to! Nevada County, where it properly belongs, . has passed the Senate, and is now in the hands of the committee on Counties and County boundaries, in the House. An effort will be probably made to defeat it there, but it will prove ineffectual. The boundary line between Nevada and Sierra counties, by this bill, runs up the Middle! } . ' Yuba, to the south furk of the same, thence up said south fork to its source, thence cast to the Stateline. The boun-. dary recommended by Capt. Day, our County Surveyor, on an examination of a map of Sierra County, recently constructed, would have taken in Nevada County,. not only a large portion of the upper) part of Sierra, but some of Plumas coun'ty also. The Notary Bill was mercilessly killed . in the Senate by a strict party vote, on/. Wednesday last. The officers, therefore, . appointed by Bigler during the last hours . of his administration, will hold their offi. ees for two years, and Goy. Johnson is! \robbed of a large portion of his patronage. .

The repairs of the rickety thing are so numerous, that perhaps itis the part of prudence to commence early in order to be ready in time. Nine months even will barely suffice, we fear, to put the train in good running trim again, so numerous were the bruises, and splintered parts made by the late collision. But evidently a semblance ef opposition is going to be gotten up by our track last fall, but the injuries sustained, Where does Gold come from?.

While in this form itis conveyed by the electrie currents which traverse the earth between the poles, and deposited in the veins of quartz which intersect the courses of these currents, from which reason, as a general rule, those leads running east and west will be found richer than those running parallel with the electric poles. The subsequent decomposition of the quartz explains the manner in which the gravel leads are formed. That the gold was formed subsequent to the creation of most of the trap rocks is very evident. Quartz which is its invariable accompaniment is a crystaline deposit formed in the fissures of the trap as well as the appearance of the gold, taline process was completed, the electric currents that traversed the globe charged with boundless wealth the fortunate dis-. . preclude the possibility of there being a} tency.

In the House, while the Clerk was calling the roll, the Door-keeper announced a message from the President. Mr. Campbell, of Ohio, objected to its reception, and a sudden excitement sprang up and much trouble ensued. Mr. Stevens, of Georgia, moved that the message be received, and demanded the previous question, which was sustained.
