Miner, Esq. travelling agent of the manufacturers. It styikes us the invention is a capital one for crushing quartz successfully. The virtues of the apparatus ever every other for the purpose are claimed to be—and we think the claim well founded—cheapness in the construction, saving both time and expeuse; less injury to the stamps and more, and more perfect crushing surface; and a more effective mode of amalgamating. That it saves time and expense is obvious. Intwenty days from the time of giving an order for a mill at the foundry, it may be had in operation here, and for twenty-five per cent cheaper than an old style mill of the same power can be constructed for. Theold style will take months to complete, and when completed can only be removed at great expense, while Howland’s Battery can be’transported toany point desired at a comparatively trifling cost and with no injury. As the stamps revolve the faces of them wear even and alike. They present, therefore, a uniform crushing surface, and will wear longer, are cheaper and will do more effective service. The stamps are arranged so that one is lifted just ahead of the fallen one. The quartz thus left uncrushed is thrown directly under the next stamp to fall, and all pieces of rock are driven around the circle of stamps till completely pulverized. Quicksilver is used in the battery and the course of the pieces of quartz around the circle assist amalgamation greatly. The crushed rock strikes the seive obliquely which lengthens their term of service essentially. The stamps are lifted by a perpendicular cam wheel having a horizontal motion. Upon the wheel are inclines which by the motion are brought under ¢a pits or wheels fastened solidly to the stem of thestamps. Both the inclines and the tapits are bevelled, which gives to the stamps when lifting a rotary motion, and by this constant turning motion all parts of the face of the stamp are worn alike. Howland’s Battery has been much improved since the one in use by Almarin B. Paul, Esq., of the Oriental Mill, was erected ; but for efficiency probably no apparatus in this vicinity will surpass that. Quartz miners should examine Howland’s Battery, assuredly befere erecting one of the old, clumsy and expensive kinds. seeeee Virginia Election—The last overland mail which brings St. Louis dates of the 30th ult, four days after the Virginia election, holds out some hope that the Opposition had carried the State. It can not be possible that the very fortress of democracy for more than thirty years has surrendered. It is news too good to be true. Tke seventy five counties heard from are probably west of the Blue Ridge which is a section not so thoreughly democratic as the eastern half of the State. A gain of five or seven thousand would not beso astonishing in that section. The tide-water region yet to be heard from will doubtless go strongly for Letcher—strong enough we fear to elect him. Should it, however, turn out that the Opposition, have won, a political revolution will be the inevitable result. The effect of a triumph to the Opposition in Virginia would be tremendous, changing the votes of thousands upon thousands throughout the Union, and bringing forward to the front ranks John M. Botts forthe Presidency, And whether triumphant or not the spirit aroused among the Whigs of Virginia will communicate itself to their brethren in other States. The fact that within a small fraction, of one half the people of Virginia are opposed to the sway of democracy will tell amazingly in contests to come. It will give heart tothe Opposition forces in that state and every other, nerve them to exertion, create enthusiasm and decide the contest, we believe, in 1860, in a favor of a liberalized party policy unknownto the present Administration. We await the full returns from Virginia with much anxiety. Martin Tae Wizarp.—This accomplished juggler is about Washington, Alpha, Omega, and other towns thereabouts giving entertainments. We learn he will amuse the people of this city with a bill full of new tricks, probably some time next week, at which time we hope to get back that pocket knife, shears, _paste-pot, inkstand, and exchanges he swallowed right before our face and eyes on the last visit to the sanctum. ‘The ladies of Auburn are getting upa ball for the Fourth, the proceeds whereof to be applied to the Mount Vernon fund, Tus Inpepenpenr County Mover. MENT.—On Saturday last, at 2p M, assembled about sixty or seventy persons at the Court House to inaugurate a new party in the county which should have for its objectthe nomination of a ticket that citizens not belonging to any existing party could eonscienciously support. Judge John Williams was called to the chair, who replied fo the call in a/ tew brief but pointed remarks on the . evils ofthe times. Ed Wheaton, was It is generaily admitted that the late convention of popular sovereignty men did themselves and their party great credit in their selections of candidates for State offices. Though we do not approve the entire policy of the party in the choice of their standard bearers, so far as our acquaiutance with the nominees extends we must say good men have been selected. In this respect both the Republican and popular sovereiguty conventions have done well. appoibted Secretary. T. B. MeFarJand . As men of ability and moral standing we Ksy, defined the otject of the meeting and descanted upon the aspect of politics and the probabilities of good to result from an independent organization. Mr McFarland expressed his belief that the . differences between the Douglas Democracy and the other wing would not be known next year. He, also, thought the probabilities were that an independent candidate for the Presidency would be elected next year, and was in favor of beginning the nucleus,of an independent party in the county around which national men could rally. Mr Tomlinson, a staunch old miner, took the floor and delivered a lengthy speech,which he had committed to paper “unaceustomed as he was to public speaking.” His remarks embodied too much of the sentiment of the statesmen of the country who had gone before him to find favorin a modern audieace.— Some outsiders who never paid adollar to the government in their lives, and never will should the mornings of Methusaleh dawn on them, affected to deride the effort of a heavy tax payer of forty years. Theold gentleman was bound to have his ‘‘say” out, and did have it out eventually. After some other remarks were made a committee was appointed to devise a representation in a county convention to be holden onthe 30th of July. A committee was also appointed to fprepare an address to the people of the county when the meeting adjourned to the 30th proximo. Whatever may be said of the independent movement in this county by the slaves of party, it is certain that a large andrespectable body of men favor it. About two hundred names of as good citizens as this or any other county can furnish are appended to acall. Owing to the unparalelled hot weather and the ignorance abroad of the number of men engaged in the movement, but few of the people from other parts of the county came to the meeting. ‘The independent men of the townships far removed from the county seat did not know the numerical strength of their brethren here, or we doubt not there would have been a larger attendance. Thehope is indulged that the case will be different onthe 30th of July. Items Overland.—The principal part of Key West is destroyed by fire. Captains in the American merchant service ate required by the Secretary of the Treasury. to display their colors promptly on meeting an armed cruiser of another nation onthe ocean. Pike’s Peak is a humbug, and the miners are in want of something to eat. The Democrats of Ohio have nominated R. P. Ranney for Governor. A terrible tornado visited Iowa city onthe 24th ult. sweeping away houses, barns, and everything moveable. Miramon has restored Santa Anna to all the rights he formerly had in Mexico and invited him to return.— From Europe the newsjis interesting.— No battle had been fought, though the French and Anstrian residents of Constantinuple had a sanguinary conflict. Napoleon had been received at Genoa with the greatest pomp and enthusiasm and had been visited by the King of Sardinia, Victor Emanuel. The Emperor had issued a stirring address. His only fears are that his soldiers will exhibit too much enthusiasm. Great Britain has formally proclaimed her neutrality in the European War. Tue Votcano.—tThe volcanic eruption still continues upon Hawaii. The Commercial Advertiser says: “A gentleman writing from Kona, Hawaii, says that the effect of the continued action of the volcano bas been most disastrous to the fisheries off that coast, Formerly, a canoe would go off in the morning and return at noon, loaded with all soris of fish; now, however, it will stay out the whole day and return at night, witha solitary skip-jack or a half-starved squid.” Tue Goop SaMaRITAN.—Just in the hottest moments of yesterday, when we were gradually subsiding into our boots, Louis Dreifuss commiserating our terrible condition, dispatched a quantum suf. of the most refreshing ice cream. “Was'nt it cold ?” GERMAN JouRNAL.—Among our exchanges comes the San Francisco Journal, a German paper. The way we,decipher it, it is very well edited. See Him.—Charles Howard has removed from Rough & Ready and taken up his abode in Grass Valley where he has opened a saloon noted for the exquisite nature of his drinkables, and . profusion of fruits he constantly supplies customers. . could conscientiously support either of the two candidates for Governor and probably will support one of them by our vote in the election. Which will depend upon the views we entertain of the relative strength of Currey and Stanford, ou the day we deposit our ballot. We holdin the contest now waging that if the Administration be so wofully{corrupt as both the Republicans and popular sovereignty men peitinaciously declare it to be, that it is the duty of the two parties as patriots to amalgamate, and we kuow of no more equitable mode then the largest concessions from the smallest party, provided at all times that seif respect be preserved. Believing that the parties opposed to the Administration should act together, we, as one independent of all parties, shall de at the polls what we deemed proper and politic for the Broderick men and Republicans to do in Convention. Without reserve then, we say, we shall support McKibben and Baker for Congress, and D. R. Ashley for Treasmer if he accepts the nomination. For Clerk of the Supreme Court we can go Dr. Powell, and for State Printer John O’Meara suits us to a hair. After the Lecompton State Convention has adjourned we will select our candidate for Supreme Judge. Of the two candidates for that position in the field, Sprague and Shafter, we prefer the latter. Politics should have nothing to do with the selection of a Judge, Eminent talents and ability are what is wanted, and we regard Shafter as far the superior lawyer of the two and prefer him accordingly. Our objection to him is, he does not come from the mining districts. With regard to the other nominees we intend to vote exactly as we please, after a further actainance with some of them. They are all reputed to be good men and we hope they will keep up their reputation that if we err in our choice of the best men, good ones will be favored with our vote any how. Tue Convention SystemM,—Writers through the columns of newspapers, and particularly the Sacramento Union, have repeatedly exposed the frauds practiced on the people by the convention system, until it is generally understood the voice of the people is often not heard in the nominations to office. In minority parties the incentives to practice fraud are not fonnd, and eonsequently we have almost universally presented the spectacle of good men put up for office on one side to be beaten by bad ones on the other. These constant ly recurring exhibitions in politics are not complimentary to a Republican government in which virtue, intelligence and integrity should be eternal grounds of distinetiun. ‘The evil needsa remedy, but how the remedy is to be applied is not so plain. The people have the power could they break from party discipline to use it. There’s the rub, and seeing the obstacles presented by party drill conjoined with party skill and prejudice, some, desirous of reform, advocate the regulation,of primary meetings by law. It would be an experiment but we seeno more rational mode for getting atthe evil. Some experiment should be tried, fcr the convention system as at present practiced by dominent parties is an engine of oppression. Suppen Deatu.—Geo. A. Armstrong living on Gold Flat, anda resident of this vicinity since 1850, died on Friday last under singular circumstances, which iuduced the belief that he was poisoned. A few days previous to his death he was induced to drink with others, and soon after sent fora physician and complained of sickness. The physician prescribed for him and he soon became apparently as well asever. On Friday last he was again suddenly takensick. The physician was again called, but the sufferer died before the medical gen‘leman could reach him. A post mortem examination revealed a disease of the heart which would cause death, also, spots upon the stomach which would prove fatal. Armstrong is said to have been an important witness in a case pending before the courts. <A coroner’s jury returned a verdict that the deceased died of disease of the heart. Armstrong was formerly from the State of New York. We announce to a roasting world the important fact which most of us are in toojgreat misery to appreciate, that it is first rate earthquake weather we are having. It seems obvious that we are near internal fires or that other place we read of. Somebody in Marysville has got up a fan, attached to a rocking chair so that one has only to rock and a current of cold airis rushing around his head. Bring a thousand to this market, quick. Scnoot Exuisirion.—Mrs. Spoor’s school at Cherokee gave an exhibition of the proficiency and acquirements of the scholars on Wednesday. The house was literally full, and quite asmart sum must have been realized fer the benefit of the school fund. Edgar Webb delivered a very well written salutatory, and was follewed by others of the scholars. Lizzie Burns was particularly happy in her recitations and singing. Miss Mina Pheips spoke an epilogue for the closing piece in excellent style. Previous to the epilogue Miss Lizzie Burns without the prior knowledge of her teacher arose and presented Mrs. Spoor with a handsome volume, the gift of the scholars. Mrs. Spoor responded briefly but feelingly to the presentation speech. Miss Katie Overton and Walter Mead from Nevada being present were called upon to favor the audience with a few songs which they gave in their best style. An extemporaneous dance was gotten upon the moment and thus was a large share of the night passed away pleasantly to all parties. Did nt take it,—A man named Thomas Trainor was playing high old tragedy on Tuesday evening at the corner of Broad and Pine. Procuring a vial of nitric acid at Dr. Wickes’ Drug store he went behind Flagg’s stable and was supposed to swallow some of it as a portion of it was found gone out of the vial when he was discovered. The signs of agony in the countenance of the young man confirmed the suspicions which the half empty bottle created, and he was removed to the drugstore and a liberal quantity of antidotes poured down his throat. At last accounts he was slowly recovering from the effect of said antidotes. It was rumored that he did’nt swallow the “cold pizen” as he was accused. Ou, How not.—The weather for a week has been insupportably hot, and so long a_ spell of it too we donot remember to have’ seen. Notin June have we experienced such heat before. Everybody is parboiled in perspiration. Te saloons are crowded with sufferers asking for relief. T’is a great boon, a good saloon, where one can go, lay off and blow and cooling comfort draw, and lie in luck all day and suck hock cobblers through a straw. We've tried it. You’re AnotuEr.—The editor of the ‘Shasta Courier, who seems to be troubled with the dry rot, says he would rather have his right hand palsied than give the grasp of welcome to these shores to Horace Greeley. Let him_ have his choice. Man Kittep.—Theodore H. West, while at work on a shed over the Alta shaft at Grass Valley, on Saturday last fell, andbroke his neck. He died instantly. The distance fallen was eleven feet. Hewas formerly from Elmira, New York, and about thirty years of age. Stans oF ProwrRess.—Messrs. Kelsey and Williams, who purchased the lots of Isabella Waters on Commercial street, a few weekssince, are clearing away to Jay the foundations of a brick building 53 feet in front width, 60 deep and two stories in height. The location is next below the fruit corner and is one of the best in town for business. Prorractep Mextina.—A protracted meeting was held on Thursday. Friday and Saturday evenings last at the Brick Church in this city. About $425 worth of strawberries and other fixins were converted into cash for the benefit of thechurch. We learn about $400 at least have been hopefully added to the church forever. Catuotic.—The Corner Stone of St. Theresa church was laid with the usual ceremonies at Auburn on the 19th inst., Fathers Croke and Gallagher officiating. The building is of brick, 56 by 36 feet and 20 feet in height. Map of the Seat of War.—By favor of Mons. Celarie of Pine Street, we are put in possession of a map of the seat of war in Italy, by Henry Payot Bookseller, 184, Washington Street San Francisco. We expect to get some information from it. Mons. Celarie has them for sale. The Union of Monday, says Captain Simpson has discovered a new mail route across the Great Basin, which is 350 miles nearer than the old Salt Lake road, and between one and two hundred miles shorter than Major Chorpenning’s mail route. Capt. Simpson found water and grass abundant on the new route. BELLIGERRNT.—The dog star rages. At the late convention Joe McKibben gave Coffroth a lick inthe mouth, Griffith and McCorcle got hostile, and Col. Whiting took a knock or so from Col, Snowden without a chance of repayment. Somebody must be spoiling for a fight. Trinity Cuurcu.—Divine Service will be held at the Court House each Sunday at 3 P. M. All are invited. H. Smeathman, Minister. BY TELEGRAPH TO THE JOURNAL. Sacramento 6 P. M. June 23rd. The Lecompton convention assembled at 3 o’clock this P. M. On the first ballot for Gov. Latham got 129, Weller 1lland Nugent 29. 2nd ballot, Latham 136, Weller 103, Nugent 29. Latham was declared duly nominated, and returned his thanks in a short speech. Dr. J. W. Downey, of Los Angeles was nominated for Lieut. Governor unanimously, when the convention adjourned to 10 a. m. to morrow, On Wednesday night an attempt was made bya man by the name of James Lawrence to rob the Commercial Hotel on the corner of Auburn & Main Street Grass Vailey butjwas frustrated in his attempt, on account of the watchman on guard, (Mr. Stevenson) It appears that he and another who was with him. procured aladder, and got into one of the windows, but the one in company who is supposed to be on the look out, got away by descending from the outer perch down the Flag staff that runs along the corner of the building, After Lawrence(alias) Chapman had got into the room through the window see ing that he was watched he managed to retire into a vacant bed and cover himself up. Weunderstand that the individual, above named, hasbeen tried in Placer county for some high offence, and most probably a likely bird strayed from head quarters, Atelegraphic dispatch was received to that effect, informing the justice before whom the examination was had to detain the individual should he be acquitted here, but after an examination he has been duly committed. Rosser Suot.—The Placer Press says a Mr. Kellinger of Cayote Flat shot a Chinaman on the 10th inst, who was in the habit of robbing his sluices every Fridaynight. The last Friday visit Mr. Chinaman got acharge of shot in the small of his back and another in the arm which shattered the bone badly, and renders the recovery of the thief doubtful. Kleppinger was examined and discharged. The Placer Press boasts of the prosperity of Auburn. Notwithstanding a large number of residences have been built during the last year, daily enquiries are heard tor houses to rent or for sale. The editor does not know ofa single residence iu the place unoccupied. Hon. E. B. Washburne, of Jilinois, has taken pains to denounce the amendment to the Massachusetts constitution as not a measure the Republicans are responsible for. There seems to bea singular unanimity among the Washburn family on this point. Ice Cream.—The roasting weather of the iast few days has made Ice cream an indispensable article. John Kredell, compassionating our sufferings, kept this office as cool as a cucumber with the de. licious article. TuHat’s THE CuEcKEeR.—Peirce & Funston prove good Samaritans to poor printers in hot weather But for their cooling beverages during the week past we should have gone off in sensible perspiration. Quick Passace.—The Vanderbilt steamship lately made the passage from Liverpool to New York in9 days, 3 hours and 26 minutes—13 hours 7 minutes lessthan any former passage by any steamship. Virainita Evection.—The Election in Virginia came off on the 26th ult., the day ofthe departure of the Overland Mail. All that is known is that the contest was a warm one. We will get the returns in a few days. The probabilities ate that the Democracy will carry the State. Vince Geiger is said to bea candidate for Congress before the Lecompton Convention. The people of Gold Hill, Placer County, are about supplying their little town with water. Hot.—The Thermometor at Ophir on the 17th stood at 1130. Deatu oF Mrs. Key.— The mother of Philip Barton Key is dead. ke The Pacific Sentinel has entered on its 4th volume. Duns Bruts.—Ed. Burrill wants them dumb bells returned to the sheriff's office, Verbum sap. Sabe ? Old America.—A man named Griffith 60 years of age, and who is an invalid lately walked 100 consecutive hours at Weaverville. Hewanted to show the boys what he could do. Sager Troupe—The Sager Troupe performed at the Metropolitan on Saturday night last to a moderate house. Those who were present were gratified with the performance. The twin sisters dance well, and the younger girl is quite a trump. eR A RI TP The Anti-Lecompton Convention _ Overtanp.—News from St. Louis downto May 30th has been received by tke overland mail. The following are the principal items of interest. The Postmaster General on the 18th of April, asked the opinion of the Attorney General as to his powers to reduce the great Overland Mail from a semiweekly to weekly service ; thus designing to save $31,000 annually. The Attorney General has jnst replied that the Postmaster General cannot, underthe law, reduce the service. Virginia Exection.—The Richmond Enquirer says it is impossible to give an accurate statement as to the general result for Congress or the Legislature, but that Letcher will be elected by between 5,000 and 8,000. NasuviLLe, May 28th.—A dispatch received via Chattanooga says that, in seventy-five counties. Goggin gains about 5,000 on the vote of 1855. ‘The Opposition claims his election by 4,000. Some say the resultis doubtful but the chances are in favor of Goggin. The returns from the Eighth District are incomplete, but the Democrats concede the election of Alexander H. Boteler to Congress overC J. Faulkner. Sword for King Victor Emanuel.— Signor Garbi has been selected by his countrymen as the bearer of the testimonial which the Italian residents of this city purpose to send to King Victor Emanuel. Signor Garbi will ieave on the steamer of the Sth inst. carrying with him the hilt of the sword intended for that monarch. The blade must necessarily be made east, and will be finished in New York, where also the emblematic ornaments to be embossed upon the belt will be supplied, they not being attainable here. The sword, when completed, will be worthy both the free presenters and the illustrous reciptent.— Telegram Serious Accipent.—Isaac Jones, a young man working in the claims of Macauley & Co. at Walloupa, was badly if not fatally injuredon Wednesday last. Other parties were undermining a tree on the bank which gave way and the tree fell upon Jones, breaking one arm and driving one rib into the body. He is badly injured and will probably not recover. Dr. R. M. Hunt was called to attend the suffere:, and to him we are indebted for the above information. Charaeteristic.—A piece of loco foco management of the most delectable kind was that of taking half dead patients from the Hospital in San Francisco to the polls of the primary Lecompton meeting to vote About sixty of ,these miserable wretches were forced out from under the care of physicians to vote the Weller Custom House ticket. Will the people never cease supporting the party which couftenances such impudence ! THRMOMETRICAL.—The hottest day ofthe season thus far in this city was Wednesday. ‘he Thermometer stood at the saloon of Blaze & Ike at 106°. In the shade at J. S Wall’s the mercury rose in the shade on the same day to only 1020. Thelatteris probably the fairest measurement of the heat of that day. Canary Lost.—An extra singing canary eseaped from his eage at the shop of Archie McAlister on Friday last. A liheral reward will be paid for his return to Keystone Market. Tue 4TH OF JULY AT Forest Ciry. —Geo, S. Hupp, Esq., of this city. has formally accepted an invitation to deliver the oration at Forest City on the 4th. Gen.

Theatre.—Mr and Mrs Henry Courtaine opened the Metropolitan Theatre on Monday night. Owing to the weather and the scanty notice given of their arrival, but a small house was in attendance. The Gift Entertainment.—The sale of tickets to the Gift Entertainment of C. W. Young goes oa swimmingly. Nearly half the tickets are already soldin less than half the time allowed to dispose of them in, and persons who design investing in the enterprize will have to do it eoon,as when the tickets get scarcer a great deal of snatching is expected.

Miner, Esq. travelling agent of the manufacturers. It styikes us the invention is a capital one for crushing quartz successfully. The virtues of the apparatus ever every other for the purpose are claimed to be—and we think the claim well founded—cheapness in the construction, saving both time and expeuse; less injury to the stamps and more, and more perfect crushing surface; and a more effective mode of amalgamating. That it saves time and expense is obvious. Intwenty days from the time of giving an order for a mill at the foundry, it may be had in operation here, and for twenty-five per cent cheaper than an old style mill of the same power can be constructed for. Theold style will take months to complete, and when completed can only be removed at great expense, while Howland’s Battery can be’transported toany point desired at a comparatively trifling cost and with no injury. As the stamps revolve the faces of them wear even and alike. They present, therefore, a uniform crushing surface, and will wear longer, are cheaper and will do more effective service. The stamps are arranged so that one is lifted just ahead of the fallen one. The quartz thus left uncrushed is thrown directly under the next stamp to fall, and all pieces of rock are driven around the circle of stamps till completely pulverized. Quicksilver is used in the battery and the course of the pieces of quartz around the circle assist amalgamation greatly. The crushed rock strikes the seive obliquely which lengthens their term of service essentially. The stamps are lifted by a perpendicular cam wheel having a horizontal motion. Upon the wheel are inclines which by the motion are brought under ¢a pits or wheels fastened solidly to the stem of thestamps. Both the inclines and the tapits are bevelled, which gives to the stamps when lifting a rotary motion, and by this constant turning motion all parts of the face of the stamp are worn alike. Howland’s Battery has been much improved since the one in use by Almarin B. Paul, Esq., of the Oriental Mill, was erected ; but for efficiency probably no apparatus in this vicinity will surpass that. Quartz miners should examine Howland’s Battery, assuredly befere erecting one of the old, clumsy and expensive kinds. seeeee Virginia Election—The last overland mail which brings St. Louis dates of the 30th ult, four days after the Virginia election, holds out some hope that the Opposition had carried the State. It can not be possible that the very fortress of democracy for more than thirty years has surrendered. It is news too good to be true. Tke seventy five counties heard from are probably west of the Blue Ridge which is a section not so thoreughly democratic as the eastern half of the State. A gain of five or seven thousand would not beso astonishing in that section. The tide-water region yet to be heard from will doubtless go strongly for Letcher—strong enough we fear to elect him. Should it, however, turn out that the Opposition, have won, a political revolution will be the inevitable result. The effect of a triumph to the Opposition in Virginia would be tremendous, changing the votes of thousands upon thousands throughout the Union, and bringing forward to the front ranks John M. Botts forthe Presidency, And whether triumphant or not the spirit aroused among the Whigs of Virginia will communicate itself to their brethren in other States. The fact that within a small fraction, of one half the people of Virginia are opposed to the sway of democracy will tell amazingly in contests to come. It will give heart tothe Opposition forces in that state and every other, nerve them to exertion, create enthusiasm and decide the contest, we believe, in 1860, in a favor of a liberalized party policy unknownto the present Administration. We await the full returns from Virginia with much anxiety. Martin Tae Wizarp.—This accomplished juggler is about Washington, Alpha, Omega, and other towns thereabouts giving entertainments. We learn he will amuse the people of this city with a bill full of new tricks, probably some time next week, at which time we hope to get back that pocket knife, shears, _paste-pot, inkstand, and exchanges he swallowed right before our face and eyes on the last visit to the sanctum. ‘The ladies of Auburn are getting upa ball for the Fourth, the proceeds whereof to be applied to the Mount Vernon fund, Tus Inpepenpenr County Mover. MENT.—On Saturday last, at 2p M, assembled about sixty or seventy persons at the Court House to inaugurate a new party in the county which should have for its objectthe nomination of a ticket that citizens not belonging to any existing party could eonscienciously support. Judge John Williams was called to the chair, who replied fo the call in a/ tew brief but pointed remarks on the . evils ofthe times. Ed Wheaton, was It is generaily admitted that the late convention of popular sovereignty men did themselves and their party great credit in their selections of candidates for State offices. Though we do not approve the entire policy of the party in the choice of their standard bearers, so far as our acquaiutance with the nominees extends we must say good men have been selected. In this respect both the Republican and popular sovereiguty conventions have done well. appoibted Secretary. T. B. MeFarJand . As men of ability and moral standing we Ksy, defined the otject of the meeting and descanted upon the aspect of politics and the probabilities of good to result from an independent organization. Mr McFarland expressed his belief that the . differences between the Douglas Democracy and the other wing would not be known next year. He, also, thought the probabilities were that an independent candidate for the Presidency would be elected next year, and was in favor of beginning the nucleus,of an independent party in the county around which national men could rally. Mr Tomlinson, a staunch old miner, took the floor and delivered a lengthy speech,which he had committed to paper “unaceustomed as he was to public speaking.” His remarks embodied too much of the sentiment of the statesmen of the country who had gone before him to find favorin a modern audieace.— Some outsiders who never paid adollar to the government in their lives, and never will should the mornings of Methusaleh dawn on them, affected to deride the effort of a heavy tax payer of forty years. Theold gentleman was bound to have his ‘‘say” out, and did have it out eventually. After some other remarks were made a committee was appointed to devise a representation in a county convention to be holden onthe 30th of July. A committee was also appointed to fprepare an address to the people of the county when the meeting adjourned to the 30th proximo. Whatever may be said of the independent movement in this county by the slaves of party, it is certain that a large andrespectable body of men favor it. About two hundred names of as good citizens as this or any other county can furnish are appended to acall. Owing to the unparalelled hot weather and the ignorance abroad of the number of men engaged in the movement, but few of the people from other parts of the county came to the meeting. ‘The independent men of the townships far removed from the county seat did not know the numerical strength of their brethren here, or we doubt not there would have been a larger attendance. Thehope is indulged that the case will be different onthe 30th of July. Items Overland.—The principal part of Key West is destroyed by fire. Captains in the American merchant service ate required by the Secretary of the Treasury. to display their colors promptly on meeting an armed cruiser of another nation onthe ocean. Pike’s Peak is a humbug, and the miners are in want of something to eat. The Democrats of Ohio have nominated R. P. Ranney for Governor. A terrible tornado visited Iowa city onthe 24th ult. sweeping away houses, barns, and everything moveable. Miramon has restored Santa Anna to all the rights he formerly had in Mexico and invited him to return.— From Europe the newsjis interesting.— No battle had been fought, though the French and Anstrian residents of Constantinuple had a sanguinary conflict. Napoleon had been received at Genoa with the greatest pomp and enthusiasm and had been visited by the King of Sardinia, Victor Emanuel. The Emperor had issued a stirring address. His only fears are that his soldiers will exhibit too much enthusiasm. Great Britain has formally proclaimed her neutrality in the European War. Tue Votcano.—tThe volcanic eruption still continues upon Hawaii. The Commercial Advertiser says: “A gentleman writing from Kona, Hawaii, says that the effect of the continued action of the volcano bas been most disastrous to the fisheries off that coast, Formerly, a canoe would go off in the morning and return at noon, loaded with all soris of fish; now, however, it will stay out the whole day and return at night, witha solitary skip-jack or a half-starved squid.” Tue Goop SaMaRITAN.—Just in the hottest moments of yesterday, when we were gradually subsiding into our boots, Louis Dreifuss commiserating our terrible condition, dispatched a quantum suf. of the most refreshing ice cream. “Was'nt it cold ?” GERMAN JouRNAL.—Among our exchanges comes the San Francisco Journal, a German paper. The way we,decipher it, it is very well edited. See Him.—Charles Howard has removed from Rough & Ready and taken up his abode in Grass Valley where he has opened a saloon noted for the exquisite nature of his drinkables, and . profusion of fruits he constantly supplies customers. . could conscientiously support either of the two candidates for Governor and probably will support one of them by our vote in the election. Which will depend upon the views we entertain of the relative strength of Currey and Stanford, ou the day we deposit our ballot. We holdin the contest now waging that if the Administration be so wofully{corrupt as both the Republicans and popular sovereignty men peitinaciously declare it to be, that it is the duty of the two parties as patriots to amalgamate, and we kuow of no more equitable mode then the largest concessions from the smallest party, provided at all times that seif respect be preserved. Believing that the parties opposed to the Administration should act together, we, as one independent of all parties, shall de at the polls what we deemed proper and politic for the Broderick men and Republicans to do in Convention. Without reserve then, we say, we shall support McKibben and Baker for Congress, and D. R. Ashley for Treasmer if he accepts the nomination. For Clerk of the Supreme Court we can go Dr. Powell, and for State Printer John O’Meara suits us to a hair. After the Lecompton State Convention has adjourned we will select our candidate for Supreme Judge. Of the two candidates for that position in the field, Sprague and Shafter, we prefer the latter. Politics should have nothing to do with the selection of a Judge, Eminent talents and ability are what is wanted, and we regard Shafter as far the superior lawyer of the two and prefer him accordingly. Our objection to him is, he does not come from the mining districts. With regard to the other nominees we intend to vote exactly as we please, after a further actainance with some of them. They are all reputed to be good men and we hope they will keep up their reputation that if we err in our choice of the best men, good ones will be favored with our vote any how. Tue Convention SystemM,—Writers through the columns of newspapers, and particularly the Sacramento Union, have repeatedly exposed the frauds practiced on the people by the convention system, until it is generally understood the voice of the people is often not heard in the nominations to office. In minority parties the incentives to practice fraud are not fonnd, and eonsequently we have almost universally presented the spectacle of good men put up for office on one side to be beaten by bad ones on the other. These constant ly recurring exhibitions in politics are not complimentary to a Republican government in which virtue, intelligence and integrity should be eternal grounds of distinetiun. ‘The evil needsa remedy, but how the remedy is to be applied is not so plain. The people have the power could they break from party discipline to use it. There’s the rub, and seeing the obstacles presented by party drill conjoined with party skill and prejudice, some, desirous of reform, advocate the regulation,of primary meetings by law. It would be an experiment but we seeno more rational mode for getting atthe evil. Some experiment should be tried, fcr the convention system as at present practiced by dominent parties is an engine of oppression. Suppen Deatu.—Geo. A. Armstrong living on Gold Flat, anda resident of this vicinity since 1850, died on Friday last under singular circumstances, which iuduced the belief that he was poisoned. A few days previous to his death he was induced to drink with others, and soon after sent fora physician and complained of sickness. The physician prescribed for him and he soon became apparently as well asever. On Friday last he was again suddenly takensick. The physician was again called, but the sufferer died before the medical gen‘leman could reach him. A post mortem examination revealed a disease of the heart which would cause death, also, spots upon the stomach which would prove fatal. Armstrong is said to have been an important witness in a case pending before the courts. <A coroner’s jury returned a verdict that the deceased died of disease of the heart. Armstrong was formerly from the State of New York. We announce to a roasting world the important fact which most of us are in toojgreat misery to appreciate, that it is first rate earthquake weather we are having. It seems obvious that we are near internal fires or that other place we read of. Somebody in Marysville has got up a fan, attached to a rocking chair so that one has only to rock and a current of cold airis rushing around his head. Bring a thousand to this market, quick. Scnoot Exuisirion.—Mrs. Spoor’s school at Cherokee gave an exhibition of the proficiency and acquirements of the scholars on Wednesday. The house was literally full, and quite asmart sum must have been realized fer the benefit of the school fund. Edgar Webb delivered a very well written salutatory, and was follewed by others of the scholars. Lizzie Burns was particularly happy in her recitations and singing. Miss Mina Pheips spoke an epilogue for the closing piece in excellent style. Previous to the epilogue Miss Lizzie Burns without the prior knowledge of her teacher arose and presented Mrs. Spoor with a handsome volume, the gift of the scholars. Mrs. Spoor responded briefly but feelingly to the presentation speech. Miss Katie Overton and Walter Mead from Nevada being present were called upon to favor the audience with a few songs which they gave in their best style. An extemporaneous dance was gotten upon the moment and thus was a large share of the night passed away pleasantly to all parties. Did nt take it,—A man named Thomas Trainor was playing high old tragedy on Tuesday evening at the corner of Broad and Pine. Procuring a vial of nitric acid at Dr. Wickes’ Drug store he went behind Flagg’s stable and was supposed to swallow some of it as a portion of it was found gone out of the vial when he was discovered. The signs of agony in the countenance of the young man confirmed the suspicions which the half empty bottle created, and he was removed to the drugstore and a liberal quantity of antidotes poured down his throat. At last accounts he was slowly recovering from the effect of said antidotes. It was rumored that he did’nt swallow the “cold pizen” as he was accused. Ou, How not.—The weather for a week has been insupportably hot, and so long a_ spell of it too we donot remember to have’ seen. Notin June have we experienced such heat before. Everybody is parboiled in perspiration. Te saloons are crowded with sufferers asking for relief. T’is a great boon, a good saloon, where one can go, lay off and blow and cooling comfort draw, and lie in luck all day and suck hock cobblers through a straw. We've tried it. You’re AnotuEr.—The editor of the ‘Shasta Courier, who seems to be troubled with the dry rot, says he would rather have his right hand palsied than give the grasp of welcome to these shores to Horace Greeley. Let him_ have his choice. Man Kittep.—Theodore H. West, while at work on a shed over the Alta shaft at Grass Valley, on Saturday last fell, andbroke his neck. He died instantly. The distance fallen was eleven feet. Hewas formerly from Elmira, New York, and about thirty years of age. Stans oF ProwrRess.—Messrs. Kelsey and Williams, who purchased the lots of Isabella Waters on Commercial street, a few weekssince, are clearing away to Jay the foundations of a brick building 53 feet in front width, 60 deep and two stories in height. The location is next below the fruit corner and is one of the best in town for business. Prorractep Mextina.—A protracted meeting was held on Thursday. Friday and Saturday evenings last at the Brick Church in this city. About $425 worth of strawberries and other fixins were converted into cash for the benefit of thechurch. We learn about $400 at least have been hopefully added to the church forever. Catuotic.—The Corner Stone of St. Theresa church was laid with the usual ceremonies at Auburn on the 19th inst., Fathers Croke and Gallagher officiating.

The building is of brick, 56 by 36 feet and 20 feet in height. Map of the Seat of War.—By favor of Mons. Celarie of Pine Street, we are put in possession of a map of the seat of war in Italy, by Henry Payot Bookseller, 184, Washington Street San Francisco. We expect to get some information from it. Mons. Celarie has them for sale. The Union of Monday, says Captain Simpson has discovered a new mail route across the Great Basin, which is 350 miles nearer than the old Salt Lake road, and between one and two hundred miles shorter than Major Chorpenning’s mail route. Capt. Simpson found water and grass abundant on the new route. BELLIGERRNT.—The dog star rages. At the late convention Joe McKibben gave Coffroth a lick inthe mouth, Griffith and McCorcle got hostile, and Col. Whiting took a knock or so from Col, Snowden without a chance of repayment. Somebody must be spoiling for a fight. Trinity Cuurcu.—Divine Service will be held at the Court House each Sunday at 3 P. M. All are invited. H. Smeathman, Minister. BY TELEGRAPH TO THE JOURNAL. Sacramento 6 P. M. June 23rd. The Lecompton convention assembled at 3 o’clock this P. M. On the first ballot for Gov. Latham got 129, Weller 1lland Nugent 29. 2nd ballot, Latham 136, Weller 103, Nugent 29. Latham was declared duly nominated, and returned his thanks in a short speech. Dr. J. W. Downey, of Los Angeles was nominated for Lieut. Governor unanimously, when the convention adjourned to 10 a. m. to morrow, On Wednesday night an attempt was made bya man by the name of James Lawrence to rob the Commercial Hotel on the corner of Auburn & Main Street Grass Vailey butjwas frustrated in his attempt, on account of the watchman on guard, (Mr. Stevenson) It appears that he and another who was with him. procured aladder, and got into one of the windows, but the one in company who is supposed to be on the look out, got away by descending from the outer perch down the Flag staff that runs along the corner of the building, After Lawrence(alias) Chapman had got into the room through the window see ing that he was watched he managed to retire into a vacant bed and cover himself up. Weunderstand that the individual, above named, hasbeen tried in Placer county for some high offence, and most probably a likely bird strayed from head quarters, Atelegraphic dispatch was received to that effect, informing the justice before whom the examination was had to detain the individual should he be acquitted here, but after an examination he has been duly committed. Rosser Suot.—The Placer Press says a Mr. Kellinger of Cayote Flat shot a Chinaman on the 10th inst, who was in the habit of robbing his sluices every Fridaynight. The last Friday visit Mr. Chinaman got acharge of shot in the small of his back and another in the arm which shattered the bone badly, and renders the recovery of the thief doubtful. Kleppinger was examined and discharged. The Placer Press boasts of the prosperity of Auburn. Notwithstanding a large number of residences have been built during the last year, daily enquiries are heard tor houses to rent or for sale. The editor does not know ofa single residence iu the place unoccupied. Hon. E. B. Washburne, of Jilinois, has taken pains to denounce the amendment to the Massachusetts constitution as not a measure the Republicans are responsible for. There seems to bea singular unanimity among the Washburn family on this point. Ice Cream.—The roasting weather of the iast few days has made Ice cream an indispensable article. John Kredell, compassionating our sufferings, kept this office as cool as a cucumber with the de. licious article. TuHat’s THE CuEcKEeR.—Peirce & Funston prove good Samaritans to poor printers in hot weather But for their cooling beverages during the week past we should have gone off in sensible perspiration. Quick Passace.—The Vanderbilt steamship lately made the passage from Liverpool to New York in9 days, 3 hours and 26 minutes—13 hours 7 minutes lessthan any former passage by any steamship. Virainita Evection.—The Election in Virginia came off on the 26th ult., the day ofthe departure of the Overland Mail. All that is known is that the contest was a warm one. We will get the returns in a few days. The probabilities ate that the Democracy will carry the State. Vince Geiger is said to bea candidate for Congress before the Lecompton Convention. The people of Gold Hill, Placer County, are about supplying their little town with water. Hot.—The Thermometor at Ophir on the 17th stood at 1130. Deatu oF Mrs. Key.— The mother of Philip Barton Key is dead. ke The Pacific Sentinel has entered on its 4th volume. Duns Bruts.—Ed. Burrill wants them dumb bells returned to the sheriff's office, Verbum sap. Sabe ?

Sager Troupe—The Sager Troupe performed at the Metropolitan on Saturday night last to a moderate house. Those who were present were gratified with the performance. The twin sisters dance well, and the younger girl is quite a trump. eR A RI TP The Anti-Lecompton Convention _ Overtanp.—News from St. Louis downto May 30th has been received by tke overland mail. The following are the principal items of interest. The Postmaster General on the 18th of April, asked the opinion of the Attorney General as to his powers to reduce the great Overland Mail from a semiweekly to weekly service ; thus designing to save $31,000 annually. The Attorney General has jnst replied that the Postmaster General cannot, underthe law, reduce the service. Virginia Exection.—The Richmond Enquirer says it is impossible to give an accurate statement as to the general result for Congress or the Legislature, but that Letcher will be elected by between 5,000 and 8,000. NasuviLLe, May 28th.—A dispatch received via Chattanooga says that, in seventy-five counties. Goggin gains about 5,000 on the vote of 1855. ‘The Opposition claims his election by 4,000. Some say the resultis doubtful but the chances are in favor of Goggin. The returns from the Eighth District are incomplete, but the Democrats concede the election of Alexander H. Boteler to Congress overC J. Faulkner. Sword for King Victor Emanuel.— Signor Garbi has been selected by his countrymen as the bearer of the testimonial which the Italian residents of this city purpose to send to King Victor Emanuel. Signor Garbi will ieave on the steamer of the Sth inst. carrying with him the hilt of the sword intended for that monarch. The blade must necessarily be made east, and will be finished in New York, where also the emblematic ornaments to be embossed upon the belt will be supplied, they not being attainable here. The sword, when completed, will be worthy both the free presenters and the illustrous reciptent.— Telegram Serious Accipent.—Isaac Jones, a young man working in the claims of Macauley & Co. at Walloupa, was badly if not fatally injuredon Wednesday last. Other parties were undermining a tree on the bank which gave way and the tree fell upon Jones, breaking one arm and driving one rib into the body. He is badly injured and will probably not recover. Dr. R. M. Hunt was called to attend the suffere:, and to him we are indebted for the above information. Charaeteristic.—A piece of loco foco management of the most delectable kind was that of taking half dead patients from the Hospital in San Francisco to the polls of the primary Lecompton meeting to vote About sixty of ,these miserable wretches were forced out from under the care of physicians to vote the Weller Custom House ticket. Will the people never cease supporting the party which couftenances such impudence ! THRMOMETRICAL.—The hottest day ofthe season thus far in this city was Wednesday. ‘he Thermometer stood at the saloon of Blaze & Ike at 106°. In the shade at J. S Wall’s the mercury rose in the shade on the same day to only 1020. Thelatteris probably the fairest measurement of the heat of that day. Canary Lost.—An extra singing canary eseaped from his eage at the shop of Archie McAlister on Friday last. A liheral reward will be paid for his return to Keystone Market. Tue 4TH OF JULY AT Forest Ciry. —Geo, S. Hupp, Esq., of this city. has formally accepted an invitation to deliver the oration at Forest City on the 4th. Gen.

Nearly half the tickets are already soldin less than half the time allowed to dispose of them in, and persons who design investing in the enterprize will have to do it eoon,as when the tickets get scarcer a great deal of snatching is expected.
