NEVADA JOURNAL. FRIDAY MORNING, JUNE 25th, 1858, Sacramento and San Francisco Agents 1. P. FISHER is the authorized Agent for this paper o San Francisco. Office on Washington street. opposite Maguire’s Opera House. @ B DAVIDSON is the authorized Agent for this puperin Sacramento Office on Fourth strect, opposite tbe Dawson House. EL, ARORA AAT SLATS EE TA LL SL MS EAA TTT British Aggression in the Gulf. There appears a speck of cloud on the political horizon not larger than a man’s hand, just at this time, which must be hailed as a god-send by the Administration. Something was needed in the distracted state of party to hush up for a time the wrangling of contending factions. Just the least thing would do and in the nick and crack of time, the very thing occurs. A muss with England must have been the very identical thing prayed for. It gives afine chance for the expenditure of a superabundance of valor at a convenient distance, and the Administration prints will not fail to make use of it. They will froth after the manner of “ fifty-four forty ” for a time and after the same style collapse in due time. The idea of war with Great Britain in the present state of the Exchequer is too solemn to be ridiculous, and to make the idea still more mournful we have only to bring up in review eur country’s gallant attempt to exterminate the Mormons—a trifling affair, it is true, involving only twenty-four millions of dollars already with a clear opening for liberal additions to that sum. England musn’t bully us. No, indeed! We are not afraid of the British taking Washington this time and robbing our Treasury. [Having no money to defend we can devote the entire attention of our arms to the subjugation of the trifling little island that a woman rules—and we'll do it. Spite of Broderick we'll issue Treasury notes till ye can’t rest. They'll pay the militia—the democratic militia that are teetotally opposed to banks and their infernal rags, and swear by General Jackson because he slaughtered the monster U.S. Bank. We'd like to see anybody who is opposed to wiping out the British Empire just now. We mean to fight her—we mean to scare her anyhow, and if either of us weaken we'll just do as we did in the Oregon boundry affair—we’ll have blood from somebody sure. If we don’t get it out of the British lion, we’ll charge on a flock of Spanish merino sheep and revel en mutton and appropriate the pasture. By the gods, we will have blood! ResisTANCE TO THE Law.—We learn that a meeting of the miners of North San Juan was appointed to come off one day this week to obtain concert of action in a resistance to taxing mining claims The miners of that locality, it is understeod, are unanimously agreed ina determination not to pay taxes on capital invested in mines, and intend in a public manner to exhibit their opposition to it. It is probable, therefore, that the justice of the thing will soon be brought to a test in the Supreme Court. We trust the good citizens of Nevada will with one voice join with the miners of North San Juan ia a resistance to paying taxes on all kinds of preearious property like that which the town is mainly made up of. Some Wispom.—The miners of Birchville are affected with the Frazer fever, not so badly, however, as to dethroue reason. A large number have resolved totry ‘those northern mines,’ but to guard against accidents have taken the precaution to secure their claims against jumpers for the period of one year. A meeting for this purpose was beld a few days since. The miners of Birchville will thus have a certainty to full back on if Frazer fails. Ifthe people are crazed in the prevailing excitement surely there is method in the madness of the miners of Birehville. Dont LIKE THE CELESTIALS PRETTY weL.-—Our friend ©. Crandall, had his siniee robbed while observing the Sunday law last Sabbath. He thinks the depredators were Chineman from the priuts of their hoofs round about, and feele rather wolfish towards that kind of people at present. Would’nt be surprised if we heard he bad taken hold farcibly of the slack of Celestial breeches before long. Thatand the tails will de te get satisfaction out of, though the wrong places to hunt for the$250 or $300 lost Man Missive —A man named Brown is missing at Grass Valley. He has been gone a week and parties are out m search of him. He had by industry accumulated a competency aud wishing thongh in middle age te improve his education was going te school. [t was thonght that in “going to school cross tots” he bad fallen into a shaft. Kitvep By Cavine.—A young man, named John Eddy was killed by the caving of a bank near the mouth of Wood's ravine, on Saturday last, while at work in his claim. His remains were followed to the grave on Sunday by a/. Jarge conéourse as be was much respectad, The Frazer River Fever. It is impossible to-determine the precise effect of the excitable news we are constantly receiving from Frazer River. That it will have a temporary inflmence to depreciate the value of property to some extentat least in this State is quite certain. Indeed already a sensible diminution in the price of mining claims is tobe observed. A large number of miners have been affected with the epidemic requiring a higher latitude to cure, and sold their claims for half, and even less than half, their estimated value, the claims paying as well, if not better than ever. We ‘have heard of instances where interests in fine paying diggings have been offered for five hundred doliars, that are as well worth now to all appearances two thousand dollars as they were last winter when they would command the latter sum. Nor are instances of this kind unfrequent. The miners are everywhere keenly alive to every report from the far North. Ths demand for extravagant news from the newly discovered gold fields is great, and we discover a remarkable disposition on the part of the public press to feed it. It is true most of the editorials that have appeared enjoin-caution, and warn miners that the reports coming from Frazer are to be taken with some grains of allowance. But the reports themselves ap pearing in the same columns overshadow editorial admonitions. Every one who reads the thousand and one letters of correspondents, anonymous and otherwise, considers himself as capable of judging of the new gold region as the ” & The following article was han-. Tue AsPEcT oF Pouitics.—The signs dedus by an oldline Demoerat, which, as aspecial favor to many others, he wishes usto publish. We do so because the Democrat does not issue again before the meeting, and because we like to see fair play and a free fight : “Democratic Meeting.” Mr. Editor :—I am proud to see such sterling Democrats as A. T. Laird and Alex Hunt coming forward to define the principles of the Democratic party. My pride is increased in noticing their associates. There are twenty-eight names in all, one-fourth of whom have the collar marks of Know Nothingism, and, of course, are devoted to the principles of the party, and well qualified to instruct usin them. As they repudiated the Cincinnati platform at the time of its adoption, as Know Nothings, they are entirely consistent in now repudiating it, as double apostates. There issuch refinement of meanness in their position, that [admire it hugely. Six men of the twenty-eight are office holders, who begged office of the appointing power on the basis of the Cincinnati platform; or who piteousiy besought democrats to vote for them, because they were sound on the great principle of Squatter Sovereignty, and now, with the spoils in their pockets, humbly imitate Judas in denying their faith. I am proud of them, too, as a naturalist would be of a fine specimen of a viper. In fact, I am, as I said, proud of the whole batch. When such confreres meet around the cauldron it will bubble boisterously. Now these well-known and consistent D emocrats object to the adoption of the conductor of a newspaper who has never . Cincinnati platform asa test of democracy been there, and perhaps he is. For our own part we are induced to believe there is gold on Frazer River, and that too in considerable quantities, and, perhaps, it would not be an impolitic move for those who see no fair prospect ahead in California, to emigrate there after being thoroughly sat isfied on good evidenze of superior chances presenting themselves in the British mines. But the step should be well considered first, and in no case should a paying claim be abandoned for an uncertainty in a hyperborean climate. There are hardships enough encountered by the miner here under favorei skies, without seeking an accumulation of them in higher latitudes and under a foreign flag. Only those who seem pressed by fate to tempt the dangers and difficulties should try their fortunes in the new El Dorado, and these from all accounts need not make a movein that direction till about the first of August. That is early enough at any rate, and by waiting till that time we may obtain such reliable information as to banish all idea of emigrating. AFFRAY—SINGULAR AND Fata AcCIDENT.—An altercation arose at North San Juan between Wm. Carroll, an Irishman, and Ed. V. Hatfield on Sunday last, growing out of a difficulty of the latter with a. brother of Carroll, on the evening previous. Wm. Carroll made an assault upon Hatfield in asa loon, threw him down and would have inflicted blows upon him but for the interposition of third parties. The two were separated when Hatfie'd drew a revolyer and struck Carroll over the head. On their being separated the second time Hatfield threw tae revolver athis adversary. It struck the sidewalk and discharged, the ball entering Carroll in a vital part, killing him instantly. Hatfield gave himself up immediately, and will appear at an examination to-morrow. Hatfield is a gentleman of character and reputation, Foot Race.—All the horses, carriages, and every other means of conveyance not excepting legs, were called into use on Sunday last, to visit the Race track of Mr. Hughes where a fovt race took place between “Soda Bill” and “Cherokee Bob.” The stakes were $500 a side. Side betting was almost unlimited. It is caleulated that not less than $6,000 changed hands, on the occasion, mostly in favor of Nevada sports. The distance was one hundred yards. In consideration of the established reputation of “Cherokee Bob” as a swift runner, “Soda Bill” was allowed two feet and a half the start. The race was a fine one ; for about half the distance the contest ! seemed doubtful. ‘Soda Bill,” howevj er, went ahead on the home stretch beat‘ing his adversary five feet. i Immediately on the receipt of the j news of the defeat of “Cherokee Bob” . at Orleans, and the neighboring Flats, ‘the boys resolved to find a match for i “Soda Bill.’ We learn they have challenged the latter to a contest with Dave Kirkland, and sent te this place $250 as a forfeit on a $500 bet to the side. The challenge was accepted on Tuesday . evening, and the race will come off some time within six weeks. A lively time is . ! anticipated. The side betting promises tu be extensive. Sap AccipENT—Two MEN KILLED.— Two miners, Thomas Myers and David Switzer were killed in the cut of Mathewson & Co., on Selby Hill, on the afternoon of Tuesday last. A mass of earth suddenly caved upon them . while at work. When taken out life . was extinct. Myers was buried with Masonic honors on Wednesday. Why, the great national party is but little more thana yearin power upon that very platform. The principles of that platform are the only recognized faith of the party. When werethey repudiated ? Buchanan names them with praise in all his state papers relating to kindred topics, The “settlement” of the Kansas question is declared by its authors to be consistent therewith. If any pretended “Democrat” repudiates the Cincinnati platform, he is no Democrat, and the party should be purged of him. He is worse than a Black Republican, for the latter seeks no spoils at the hands of a party by a hypocritical adhesion to it. Ina time of doubt and discord, it is always safe to refer to fundamental principles, and the Central Committee have done wisely im taking tbe authoritative declaration of principles laid down by the general assembly of the party as its guide. By so doing they have succeeded in unmasking the disoiganizers who, since the last Presidential campaign, have hung upon the skirts of democracy, and under the guise of friends, have been stabbing the party to the vitals. Read the list of names appended to the call for a “Democratic” * meeting. It stinks with treason to the party in the sacrifice of Walsh last year. “Oh! Walsh was in favor of the sale of the mineral lands.” Very good, what was Hanson in favor of } the sale of groceries, eh ? You threw the party off, and _sacrificed him. You keep no faith with your party, yet aspire to dictate the faith of the party. Yourush into Know Nothingism, Douglasism, Buchananism, ehivalry, and all other isms, for popularity, and would sell the party again to-morrow fora clerkship or chance to make vapid speeches in Congress. Keep your isms to your yourselves. As anold line Democrat, I know no shibboleth but the principles of my party, laiddown by the customary authorities. When any little clique of men, itching for notoriety, see fit to meet to repudiate those princiyles, I can only smile to see how easily they let themselves down out of the party. and only hope that they will oblige us by staying out. . ee Oxp Line Democrat. Cat. Stace Company. — Our Grass Valley cotemporary is down on the Cal. Stage Company likeathousandof brick, and invites the agent at that place to come forward and settle printing bills. Our confrere strikes the bed rock somehow at a most unfortunate angle. In our dealings with the agent of the cempany at this place, we have never yet presented a bill. Healways anticipated our wants in this respect with a promptness we have deemed a credit to his memory. Itissaid that the company enjoin it upon their agents to leave no bills unpaid beyond the time of maturity. From an acquaintance with Mr. Brigham, the agent at Grass Valley, we deem the Telegraph does injustice to him, and cannot but regard the issue as worthy of a different treatment. We learn that the difference arises from a misunderstanding of parties as to the amount of money actually due for printing—the agent of the company refusing to pay for advertisements which he says he had repeatedly ordered stopped. This much we say because the thing has been a matter of considerable conversation with certain individuals. New Stace Lins.—A new stage line will commence running between this place and Hunt’s Hill, and Gouge Eye, on Monday next. A new road is in process of construction from Hunt’s Hill to Red Dog. As soon as completed the stage line will extend to the latter place, Morrell & Co., are the enterprising proprietors. We wish them every success. of the times indicate a convulsion of moment in the Demoeratie party. The chasm between the chivalry and mud-sill factions is to be worn deeper than ever before or we mistake the aspect of polities. Itis possible the breach may be widened in only those localities where the mud-sills get the upper hand in the county conventions, when the chivalry will bolt according to habitual custom ; while in those counties in which the latter may succeed in nominating a ticket suitable to themselves, the mud-sills will drop in with slight whimperings and support the nominees as is their custom—i is posstble such may be the result o mutterings, we hear, but we doub The liberal wing of the Democracy has arrived at that nicely balanced point where forbearance ceases to be a virtueIts leaders feel it and feel strengthened by the sympathy of thousands of outsiders whose assistance may be counted with more unerring certainty than that of professed Democrats who bolt on every trivial oceasion both principle and itsexponents. Hitherto the Broderick men have succumbed to a determined effort to rule orruin. They have asked themselves, the question in the secret cireular, “What are the principles without power?” With an opposition force well organized they saw no chance of success but in submission to a tyrannicai faction till a more favorable opportunity. That time apparently has arrived. There is no organized opposition to force itself between the contending ranks of the Democracy at the present time. On the contrary the disposition is openly shown by the scattered debris of parties to fuse with the Democracy. The leading press of the Douglas Democracy has tendered the right hand of fellowship and smiled upon the project of such a union, while the chief organs of the Republicans have at least manifested no aversion to it. The elements of the new union proposed are certainly not more discordant than the old, and nothing but names and prejudices appear tostand in the way so far as the voice of popular leaders is concerned. Broke CaLasoose.—Gus. Clark was dropped in the calaboose on Wednesday for indulging in the unlawful pastime of inflicting sundry dry knocks on the mortal body of one John Williams, to the serious discomfort of the latter, against the statutes in such cases made and provided, and infra dig, of the town.” Clark was seized with an uncontrollable, unwonted industrious fit in the course of the night and drawing forth a jack knife he plied it incontinently in a circular manner about the padlock so efficiently as to leave it hanging to the door post, instead of the door before morning, cutting a good sized hole through three inches of solid’ plank. Gus Clark then walked out and took a snuff of that air, the unalienable right to which belongs naturally to every American freeman. The last seen of him he was complacently viewing the town from a hill at a distance, while the Marshal had his dexter eye in that direction with a sinister look to it. New Wuear has made its appearance in this market and is being manufactured into excellent flour at the celebrated mill of W. J. Tilley, in this place. — Flour made of new wheat is longer in rising than old flour. The Nevada Mill has inserted a card in the mouth of each sack of flour manufactured out of new wheat, informing the “gude housewife” of this important fact. O. C. Torson, Esq., is the Agent. Row IN THE CAmp.—A card appears in the Democrat of this weck, signed by Alex. H. Hunt and other disaffected Democrats, calling a meeting to be held at 7 o'clock on Saturday evening next at the Court House, to disapprove the action ofthe County Central Committee in inviting all parties to participate in the Democratic , primary meetings.— There's fun ahead probably. “HE HAS BEEN AND GONE AND DONE ir.”—W. K. Spencer. Esq., the agent of the JouRNAL in Grass Valley, bas found a help meet in the attractive person of Miss Dorcas J. Barber. Spencer is a gentleman and his bride is worthy of him every bit. The twain became one flesh onthe 12th inst. May their joys be as sparkling and delicious as their wine. ORATION on THE FourtH.—Geo. S. Hupp, Esq., has accepted an invitation tendered him to deliver an oration on the 5th at North San Juan. The patriotic citizens of North San Juan we predict will be proud of the orator of the day. Mr. Hupp is a young man eloquent. Ricw Quartz.— We learn that Mr. Conn Riley and others are taking out some exceedingly rich quartz from ledges in Eureka. The rock promises as well as that from the Grass Valley ledges, where Mr. Riley has been a successful operator. PsycoLocy.—Mr. J. F. Stuart, the psycological professor, will hold forth at Hunt’s Hill on Saturday evening next, and will visit Red Dog and other places in the vicinity during his stay in the county. Those who have witnessed the performances of Mr. Stuart give him a high reputation in his line. Congregational Church Meeting. resignation of Rev. J. H. WARREN, Pastor, June 2d, 1858: Resolved, That the First Congre tional Church of Nevada, accepts the resignation of its Pastor, Rev. J. H. Warren, with deep regret, and only out of a sense of duty towards him. Resolved, That the Church and Society sustains an irreparable loss in the departure of one, who for the last seven congregation committed -. charge. Resolved, That in yielding to the request of the Rev. J. H. Warren, and thus severing the connection which has so long existed between us, so greatly to our advantage, we cannot refrain from expressing to him our unfeigned thanks for the example of his life—for the faithfulness of his ministry to our spiritual wants, and for his ceaseless activity in every good work. Resolved, That our best wishes go with him and his family, and that we cordially and unqualifiedly recommend them to any sister church with which his lot may be cast. : Resolved, That these resolutions be published in the Nevapa Journat. Wants THE Orrice.—The Sierra Democrat says Marcus D. Boruck, Esq., will run for tke office of Clerk of the Supreme Court, at the next election notwithstanding the law passed by the late Legislature postponing the election of that officer to next year. The opinion seems to be entertained by some that the Legislature exceeded its powers in extending the term of Fairfax a year longer ‘“Borax’’ wants the place of Fairfax and let him “pitch in.” Indignant.—Our German citizens are universally opposed to many provisiors of the new Sunday Law. They are especially indignant at the attempt made to prevent assembling at their gardens. The Germans have always been distinguished for their orderly and industrious conduct, and the punctuality with which they have paid their taxes. They form a very important and useful part of our population ; but it is very likely that the Sunday Law, in conjunction with Frazer River, will cause them to leave the State, and go to some country “where they can worship God according to the dictates of their conscience.”— Morning Cail. Kanaka Prince Born.—The loyal subjects of King Kamehameha went in ta rejoicings on the 20th of May, much after the European style, in consequence of the birth of an heir to the Hawaiian crown. American and other consuls offered their congratulations, the dusky soldiery expressed their gladness, and a missionary presented, perhaps for the fortieth time, a bible to the King on the august occasion, accompanied with the usual allusions. The child is a boy. InsurANCE.—W. G. English, of Sacramento, has been appointed agent for three Insurance companies in Hartford, and one in Philadelphia, says the Bee, and intends to insure property hereafter in staunch American companies and at greatly reduced rates. [=> Geo. E. Wellington has disposed of hisinterest in the Folsom Dispa/ch to Wm. Ewing and retires. Richard Rust has left the Statesman and taken up his abode with Avaline of the Amador Sentinel. Pears.—Fruit of this kind has appeared in our market, which the Cail truly describes ‘‘as large as your thumb and as mellow as a turnip.” Tue Fovurtu will be celebrated at Hughes’ race course with the usual horse and foot races, target shooting, a grand dinner, &c. Hughes knows how to get up these things “you bet, bar keep.” > Several persons at Rough and Ready have become “seized and possessed” with the Frazer River fever and gone te try their luck in the new diggings. J.K. Smith, formerly a Representative of this county is-one of them. Erratum.—lIn our fire and water article of last week there was an erratum The length of pipe required is about 3000 feet instead of 1000 as the types read. ‘The types only were at fault. k= The quartz mills in our vicinity we learn are crushing a great quantity of quartz, which is paying from $30 to $175 per ton—or less. = We learn from good authority that $10,000 a week is taken out at Gold Hill, in this county, by the various mining companies. iF The Dardanelles company, near Yankee Jims, declared a divident last week of $15,000 or $1,000 to a share. Favors.—We are indebted to Welch, Hamlin and D. Dunlap for magazines and papers. E> Wm. Anderson, the second nate of the steamer Cortez, was drowned at Benicia on Sunday. Si Ee Several very rich quartz leads have been discovered near Chipp’s Flat and Camptonville. The following resolutions were adopted by the First Congregational Church and Society of Nevada, on accepting the years, has labored so earnestly both for t mporal and spiritual interests of to his Jack Powrrs.—A_ correspondent o the Alta, under date of June 7th says: San Luis Obispo county, you will remember, is alleged to have been th “stamping ground” of the notorious Jac and the scene of many a robd murder perpetrated by the band of outlaws of which he is said to hav been the leader. So universal aia the inhabita the belief in his guilt, that they have offered $2,500 for his arrest, and have formed themselves into a vigilance committee to aid in exterminating the hordes of robbers who infest their country. It appears that they had reason to believe that Jack would be down upon the steamer, and some fifty of the committee, well armed, were waiting upon the beach to give him a warm reception. Everything was prepared to hang Jack “as high as Haman.” The feeling against him is very bitter, and he will stand no show of escape if ever he falls into their clutches. A Broap Farce.—That doughty soldier and leader of all the militias, Gen. Kibbe, and that self-dubbed “statesman,” Col. Weller, by the wrath of Ged, Governor of the State of California, have put their heads together and called a convocation of knights of the bloody trade to assemble at San Francisco and investigate the character of Capt. Johns who refused to imbne his hands in the blood of his fellow-citizens engaged in the vigilance movement. The warriors around the drum head in this case should be decked in the feathers of geese. i The Shasta Courier says two miners near Horsetown, having the Frazier River fever sold their interests— one-thitd each—in a claim, the one fo $30 the other fcr $25. They the eleaned up their washing of the three days previous, which yielded them $24 per day each. On Monday last, the purchaser washed out with a pan $2 trom the tailings. The former owe of these claims sold out to go to Fraze —not being satisfied with an ounce a day. ie Judge Botts declares in a card that “God willing and the Democratic County Convention consenting,” he will be the next District Judge of the Sacramento District. If Judge Botts has to wait for a unity of sentiment between Heaven and a locofoco convention his days will be long in the land before his hopes are realized. CaLircrnia Cu.turist.— We have received the first number of this periodcal, published by Wheeler & Wadsworth, San Francisco. It is published morthly in magazine shape, contains 48 pages, is embellished with engravings and promises to be the very thing for tke country. The first number is worth to any even small cultivator of the soil, five dollars, the subscription price for a year. Killed ina Duel.—B. H. Miles, an Assemblymen from Santa Cruz county, in 1857, was lately killed in a duel in Arizona by a Mr. Oury. Mr. Miles was a quiet unassuming gentleman and is the last man we would expect to hear of being engaged in a so-called affair of honor. [=> Peter Dumford was killed at Angel’s, Calaveras county, on the 4th inst., by a tub falling on him. He was ina shaft at the time of the accident and lived but a few moments after its occurrence. Dumford was from Clermont county, Ohio. Battoon Ascension. — The Fourth will be celebrated at Forest Hill, Placer county, by a balloon ascension by Prof. Launeta, of Paris, and by fire works. James F. Angel, formerly of this city, is the getter up of the affair. [= The Globe says that since the . breaking out of the Frazier river gold . excitement the number of passengers that left San Francisco for the north on steamers and sailing vessels is 9,327. Among the number there were 156 women and 33 children. (> A butcher named McFarland was arrested in Columbia, and fined $50 and! costs of suit, $30 more, making in all $80 . tor retailing one dollar’s worth of beef on Sunday. AssauLt. — Mr. George R. Parburt . while in company with his wife, was knocked down with a cudgel, at asaloon . inColumbia. He charges Gen. Casneau . with the commission of the deed. } Pus. Duc’s.—Broderick, Douglas, Seward, Trumbull. Bell and Preston . King ; McKibben, Washburne, of Ills, . Clark; Scott, Millson and Harris, are thanked for public documents of interest. } KF In consequence of the rush to Frazer River mason’s wages have advanced in San Francisco from $5 to $7} per day, and carpenters from $4 and $5 to $6. {# Collector Washington has determined to dispatch the revenue cutter Marcy to Japan, with the ship-wrecked Japanese now in San Francisco. ke Kate Hayes the Irish nightingale, has commenced suit against Sanders & Brenham, “broken bankers,” for the sum of $23,168. Masonic —Sr. Joun's Day. — The day of the patron Saint of the Masons was celebrated with due honors yesterday afternoon, by a procession, followed by an oration by Thos. P. Hawley, and closing with an elegant ball in the evening at the Court House in which the beauty and fashion cf the county participated. The institution we judge from appearances is a growing one in this community. The fine regalias of yesterday made a satisfactory display to those who are lucky enough to ‘wear them. {> The San Francisco Morning Cali ought to be held responsible for the following : Proud of his Privileges —We Americansare usually jealous of our rights and proud of our political privileges and equality. The peculiar social and political condition is often the subject of pardonable boasting, and occasionally enthusiastic individuals in debating up on our glorious institutions, soar aloft on the pinions of the sublime and fall “kersp:ash” into the puddle of the ridiculous The following is an instance in point A short time since we attended the de liberations of a debating society, not a thousand miles from San Francisco, and there heard an eloquent member delive: himself of the following outburst of patriotic eloquence : “Mr. President—This is a free country! Itisa free country! It is our proud boast that we are all equal! Yes sir, Mr. President if a man traduces m y character, steals my property gets drunk robs my purse and injures my reputation I have the proud consolation of knowing that he is my equal !” {A gentlemen travelling in Russia fell ill ofan iufluenza, but was restored by the usual remedy—a Russian bath.

NEVADA JOURNAL. FRIDAY MORNING, JUNE 25th, 1858, Sacramento and San Francisco Agents 1. P. FISHER is the authorized Agent for this paper o San Francisco. Office on Washington street. opposite Maguire’s Opera House. @ B DAVIDSON is the authorized Agent for this puperin Sacramento Office on Fourth strect, opposite tbe Dawson House. EL, ARORA AAT SLATS EE TA LL SL MS EAA TTT British Aggression in the Gulf. There appears a speck of cloud on the political horizon not larger than a man’s hand, just at this time, which must be hailed as a god-send by the Administration. Something was needed in the distracted state of party to hush up for a time the wrangling of contending factions. Just the least thing would do and in the nick and crack of time, the very thing occurs. A muss with England must have been the very identical thing prayed for. It gives afine chance for the expenditure of a superabundance of valor at a convenient distance, and the Administration prints will not fail to make use of it. They will froth after the manner of “ fifty-four forty ” for a time and after the same style collapse in due time. The idea of war with Great Britain in the present state of the Exchequer is too solemn to be ridiculous, and to make the idea still more mournful we have only to bring up in review eur country’s gallant attempt to exterminate the Mormons—a trifling affair, it is true, involving only twenty-four millions of dollars already with a clear opening for liberal additions to that sum. England musn’t bully us. No, indeed! We are not afraid of the British taking Washington this time and robbing our Treasury. [Having no money to defend we can devote the entire attention of our arms to the subjugation of the trifling little island that a woman rules—and we'll do it. Spite of Broderick we'll issue Treasury notes till ye can’t rest. They'll pay the militia—the democratic militia that are teetotally opposed to banks and their infernal rags, and swear by General Jackson because he slaughtered the monster U.S. Bank. We'd like to see anybody who is opposed to wiping out the British Empire just now. We mean to fight her—we mean to scare her anyhow, and if either of us weaken we'll just do as we did in the Oregon boundry affair—we’ll have blood from somebody sure. If we don’t get it out of the British lion, we’ll charge on a flock of Spanish merino sheep and revel en mutton and appropriate the pasture. By the gods, we will have blood! ResisTANCE TO THE Law.—We learn that a meeting of the miners of North San Juan was appointed to come off one day this week to obtain concert of action in a resistance to taxing mining claims The miners of that locality, it is understeod, are unanimously agreed ina determination not to pay taxes on capital invested in mines, and intend in a public manner to exhibit their opposition to it. It is probable, therefore, that the justice of the thing will soon be brought to a test in the Supreme Court. We trust the good citizens of Nevada will with one voice join with the miners of North San Juan ia a resistance to paying taxes on all kinds of preearious property like that which the town is mainly made up of. Some Wispom.—The miners of Birchville are affected with the Frazer fever, not so badly, however, as to dethroue reason. A large number have resolved totry ‘those northern mines,’ but to guard against accidents have taken the precaution to secure their claims against jumpers for the period of one year. A meeting for this purpose was beld a few days since. The miners of Birchville will thus have a certainty to full back on if Frazer fails. Ifthe people are crazed in the prevailing excitement surely there is method in the madness of the miners of Birehville. Dont LIKE THE CELESTIALS PRETTY weL.-—Our friend ©. Crandall, had his siniee robbed while observing the Sunday law last Sabbath. He thinks the depredators were Chineman from the priuts of their hoofs round about, and feele rather wolfish towards that kind of people at present. Would’nt be surprised if we heard he bad taken hold farcibly of the slack of Celestial breeches before long. Thatand the tails will de te get satisfaction out of, though the wrong places to hunt for the$250 or $300 lost Man Missive —A man named Brown is missing at Grass Valley. He has been gone a week and parties are out m search of him. He had by industry accumulated a competency aud wishing thongh in middle age te improve his education was going te school. [t was thonght that in “going to school cross tots” he bad fallen into a shaft. Kitvep By Cavine.—A young man, named John Eddy was killed by the caving of a bank near the mouth of Wood's ravine, on Saturday last, while at work in his claim. His remains were followed to the grave on Sunday by a/. Jarge conéourse as be was much respectad, The Frazer River Fever. It is impossible to-determine the precise effect of the excitable news we are constantly receiving from Frazer River. That it will have a temporary inflmence to depreciate the value of property to some extentat least in this State is quite certain. Indeed already a sensible diminution in the price of mining claims is tobe observed. A large number of miners have been affected with the epidemic requiring a higher latitude to cure, and sold their claims for half, and even less than half, their estimated value, the claims paying as well, if not better than ever. We ‘have heard of instances where interests in fine paying diggings have been offered for five hundred doliars, that are as well worth now to all appearances two thousand dollars as they were last winter when they would command the latter sum. Nor are instances of this kind unfrequent. The miners are everywhere keenly alive to every report from the far North. Ths demand for extravagant news from the newly discovered gold fields is great, and we discover a remarkable disposition on the part of the public press to feed it. It is true most of the editorials that have appeared enjoin-caution, and warn miners that the reports coming from Frazer are to be taken with some grains of allowance. But the reports themselves ap pearing in the same columns overshadow editorial admonitions. Every one who reads the thousand and one letters of correspondents, anonymous and otherwise, considers himself as capable of judging of the new gold region as the ” & The following article was han-. Tue AsPEcT oF Pouitics.—The signs dedus by an oldline Demoerat, which, as aspecial favor to many others, he wishes usto publish. We do so because the Democrat does not issue again before the meeting, and because we like to see fair play and a free fight : “Democratic Meeting.” Mr. Editor :—I am proud to see such sterling Democrats as A. T. Laird and Alex Hunt coming forward to define the principles of the Democratic party. My pride is increased in noticing their associates. There are twenty-eight names in all, one-fourth of whom have the collar marks of Know Nothingism, and, of course, are devoted to the principles of the party, and well qualified to instruct usin them. As they repudiated the Cincinnati platform at the time of its adoption, as Know Nothings, they are entirely consistent in now repudiating it, as double apostates. There issuch refinement of meanness in their position, that [admire it hugely. Six men of the twenty-eight are office holders, who begged office of the appointing power on the basis of the Cincinnati platform; or who piteousiy besought democrats to vote for them, because they were sound on the great principle of Squatter Sovereignty, and now, with the spoils in their pockets, humbly imitate Judas in denying their faith. I am proud of them, too, as a naturalist would be of a fine specimen of a viper. In fact, I am, as I said, proud of the whole batch. When such confreres meet around the cauldron it will bubble boisterously. Now these well-known and consistent D emocrats object to the adoption of the conductor of a newspaper who has never . Cincinnati platform asa test of democracy been there, and perhaps he is. For our own part we are induced to believe there is gold on Frazer River, and that too in considerable quantities, and, perhaps, it would not be an impolitic move for those who see no fair prospect ahead in California, to emigrate there after being thoroughly sat isfied on good evidenze of superior chances presenting themselves in the British mines. But the step should be well considered first, and in no case should a paying claim be abandoned for an uncertainty in a hyperborean climate. There are hardships enough encountered by the miner here under favorei skies, without seeking an accumulation of them in higher latitudes and under a foreign flag. Only those who seem pressed by fate to tempt the dangers and difficulties should try their fortunes in the new El Dorado, and these from all accounts need not make a movein that direction till about the first of August. That is early enough at any rate, and by waiting till that time we may obtain such reliable information as to banish all idea of emigrating. AFFRAY—SINGULAR AND Fata AcCIDENT.—An altercation arose at North San Juan between Wm. Carroll, an Irishman, and Ed. V. Hatfield on Sunday last, growing out of a difficulty of the latter with a. brother of Carroll, on the evening previous. Wm. Carroll made an assault upon Hatfield in asa loon, threw him down and would have inflicted blows upon him but for the interposition of third parties. The two were separated when Hatfie'd drew a revolyer and struck Carroll over the head. On their being separated the second time Hatfield threw tae revolver athis adversary. It struck the sidewalk and discharged, the ball entering Carroll in a vital part, killing him instantly. Hatfield gave himself up immediately, and will appear at an examination to-morrow. Hatfield is a gentleman of character and reputation, Foot Race.—All the horses, carriages, and every other means of conveyance not excepting legs, were called into use on Sunday last, to visit the Race track of Mr. Hughes where a fovt race took place between “Soda Bill” and “Cherokee Bob.” The stakes were $500 a side. Side betting was almost unlimited. It is caleulated that not less than $6,000 changed hands, on the occasion, mostly in favor of Nevada sports. The distance was one hundred yards. In consideration of the established reputation of “Cherokee Bob” as a swift runner, “Soda Bill” was allowed two feet and a half the start. The race was a fine one ; for about half the distance the contest ! seemed doubtful. ‘Soda Bill,” howevj er, went ahead on the home stretch beat‘ing his adversary five feet. i Immediately on the receipt of the j news of the defeat of “Cherokee Bob” . at Orleans, and the neighboring Flats, ‘the boys resolved to find a match for i “Soda Bill.’ We learn they have challenged the latter to a contest with Dave Kirkland, and sent te this place $250 as a forfeit on a $500 bet to the side. The challenge was accepted on Tuesday . evening, and the race will come off some time within six weeks. A lively time is . ! anticipated. The side betting promises tu be extensive. Sap AccipENT—Two MEN KILLED.— Two miners, Thomas Myers and David Switzer were killed in the cut of Mathewson & Co., on Selby Hill, on the afternoon of Tuesday last. A mass of earth suddenly caved upon them . while at work. When taken out life . was extinct. Myers was buried with Masonic honors on Wednesday. Why, the great national party is but little more thana yearin power upon that very platform. The principles of that platform are the only recognized faith of the party. When werethey repudiated ? Buchanan names them with praise in all his state papers relating to kindred topics, The “settlement” of the Kansas question is declared by its authors to be consistent therewith. If any pretended “Democrat” repudiates the Cincinnati platform, he is no Democrat, and the party should be purged of him. He is worse than a Black Republican, for the latter seeks no spoils at the hands of a party by a hypocritical adhesion to it. Ina time of doubt and discord, it is always safe to refer to fundamental principles, and the Central Committee have done wisely im taking tbe authoritative declaration of principles laid down by the general assembly of the party as its guide. By so doing they have succeeded in unmasking the disoiganizers who, since the last Presidential campaign, have hung upon the skirts of democracy, and under the guise of friends, have been stabbing the party to the vitals. Read the list of names appended to the call for a “Democratic” * meeting. It stinks with treason to the party in the sacrifice of Walsh last year. “Oh! Walsh was in favor of the sale of the mineral lands.” Very good, what was Hanson in favor of } the sale of groceries, eh ? You threw the party off, and _sacrificed him. You keep no faith with your party, yet aspire to dictate the faith of the party. Yourush into Know Nothingism, Douglasism, Buchananism, ehivalry, and all other isms, for popularity, and would sell the party again to-morrow fora clerkship or chance to make vapid speeches in Congress. Keep your isms to your yourselves. As anold line Democrat, I know no shibboleth but the principles of my party, laiddown by the customary authorities. When any little clique of men, itching for notoriety, see fit to meet to repudiate those princiyles, I can only smile to see how easily they let themselves down out of the party. and only hope that they will oblige us by staying out. . ee Oxp Line Democrat. Cat. Stace Company. — Our Grass Valley cotemporary is down on the Cal. Stage Company likeathousandof brick, and invites the agent at that place to come forward and settle printing bills. Our confrere strikes the bed rock somehow at a most unfortunate angle. In our dealings with the agent of the cempany at this place, we have never yet presented a bill. Healways anticipated our wants in this respect with a promptness we have deemed a credit to his memory. Itissaid that the company enjoin it upon their agents to leave no bills unpaid beyond the time of maturity. From an acquaintance with Mr. Brigham, the agent at Grass Valley, we deem the Telegraph does injustice to him, and cannot but regard the issue as worthy of a different treatment. We learn that the difference arises from a misunderstanding of parties as to the amount of money actually due for printing—the agent of the company refusing to pay for advertisements which he says he had repeatedly ordered stopped. This much we say because the thing has been a matter of considerable conversation with certain individuals. New Stace Lins.—A new stage line will commence running between this place and Hunt’s Hill, and Gouge Eye, on Monday next. A new road is in process of construction from Hunt’s Hill to Red Dog. As soon as completed the stage line will extend to the latter place, Morrell & Co., are the enterprising proprietors. We wish them every success. of the times indicate a convulsion of moment in the Demoeratie party. The chasm between the chivalry and mud-sill factions is to be worn deeper than ever before or we mistake the aspect of polities. Itis possible the breach may be widened in only those localities where the mud-sills get the upper hand in the county conventions, when the chivalry will bolt according to habitual custom ; while in those counties in which the latter may succeed in nominating a ticket suitable to themselves, the mud-sills will drop in with slight whimperings and support the nominees as is their custom—i is posstble such may be the result o mutterings, we hear, but we doub The liberal wing of the Democracy has arrived at that nicely balanced point where forbearance ceases to be a virtueIts leaders feel it and feel strengthened by the sympathy of thousands of outsiders whose assistance may be counted with more unerring certainty than that of professed Democrats who bolt on every trivial oceasion both principle and itsexponents. Hitherto the Broderick men have succumbed to a determined effort to rule orruin. They have asked themselves, the question in the secret cireular, “What are the principles without power?” With an opposition force well organized they saw no chance of success but in submission to a tyrannicai faction till a more favorable opportunity. That time apparently has arrived. There is no organized opposition to force itself between the contending ranks of the Democracy at the present time. On the contrary the disposition is openly shown by the scattered debris of parties to fuse with the Democracy. The leading press of the Douglas Democracy has tendered the right hand of fellowship and smiled upon the project of such a union, while the chief organs of the Republicans have at least manifested no aversion to it. The elements of the new union proposed are certainly not more discordant than the old, and nothing but names and prejudices appear tostand in the way so far as the voice of popular leaders is concerned. Broke CaLasoose.—Gus. Clark was dropped in the calaboose on Wednesday for indulging in the unlawful pastime of inflicting sundry dry knocks on the mortal body of one John Williams, to the serious discomfort of the latter, against the statutes in such cases made and provided, and infra dig, of the town.” Clark was seized with an uncontrollable, unwonted industrious fit in the course of the night and drawing forth a jack knife he plied it incontinently in a circular manner about the padlock so efficiently as to leave it hanging to the door post, instead of the door before morning, cutting a good sized hole through three inches of solid’ plank. Gus Clark then walked out and took a snuff of that air, the unalienable right to which belongs naturally to every American freeman. The last seen of him he was complacently viewing the town from a hill at a distance, while the Marshal had his dexter eye in that direction with a sinister look to it. New Wuear has made its appearance in this market and is being manufactured into excellent flour at the celebrated mill of W. J. Tilley, in this place. — Flour made of new wheat is longer in rising than old flour. The Nevada Mill has inserted a card in the mouth of each sack of flour manufactured out of new wheat, informing the “gude housewife” of this important fact. O. C. Torson, Esq., is the Agent. Row IN THE CAmp.—A card appears in the Democrat of this weck, signed by Alex. H. Hunt and other disaffected Democrats, calling a meeting to be held at 7 o'clock on Saturday evening next at the Court House, to disapprove the action ofthe County Central Committee in inviting all parties to participate in the Democratic , primary meetings.— There's fun ahead probably. “HE HAS BEEN AND GONE AND DONE ir.”—W. K. Spencer. Esq., the agent of the JouRNAL in Grass Valley, bas found a help meet in the attractive person of Miss Dorcas J. Barber. Spencer is a gentleman and his bride is worthy of him every bit. The twain became one flesh onthe 12th inst. May their joys be as sparkling and delicious as their wine. ORATION on THE FourtH.—Geo. S. Hupp, Esq., has accepted an invitation tendered him to deliver an oration on the 5th at North San Juan. The patriotic

citizens of North San Juan we predict will be proud of the orator of the day. Mr. Hupp is a young man eloquent. Ricw Quartz.— We learn that Mr. Conn Riley and others are taking out some exceedingly rich quartz from ledges in Eureka. The rock promises as well as that from the Grass Valley ledges, where Mr. Riley has been a successful operator. PsycoLocy.—Mr. J. F. Stuart, the psycological professor, will hold forth at Hunt’s Hill on Saturday evening next, and will visit Red Dog and other places in the vicinity during his stay in the county. Those who have witnessed the performances of Mr. Stuart give him a high reputation in his line. Congregational Church Meeting. resignation of Rev. J. H. WARREN, Pastor, June 2d, 1858: Resolved, That the First Congre tional Church of Nevada, accepts the resignation of its Pastor, Rev. J. H. Warren, with deep regret, and only out of a sense of duty towards him. Resolved, That the Church and Society sustains an irreparable loss in the departure of one, who for the last seven congregation committed -. charge. Resolved, That in yielding to the request of the Rev. J. H. Warren, and thus severing the connection which has so long existed between us, so greatly to our advantage, we cannot refrain from expressing to him our unfeigned thanks for the example of his life—for the faithfulness of his ministry to our spiritual wants, and for his ceaseless activity in every good work. Resolved, That our best wishes go with him and his family, and that we cordially and unqualifiedly recommend them to any sister church with which his lot may be cast. : Resolved, That these resolutions be published in the Nevapa Journat. Wants THE Orrice.—The Sierra Democrat says Marcus D. Boruck, Esq., will run for tke office of Clerk of the Supreme Court, at the next election notwithstanding the law passed by the late Legislature postponing the election of that officer to next year. The opinion seems to be entertained by some that the Legislature exceeded its powers in extending the term of Fairfax a year longer ‘“Borax’’ wants the place of Fairfax and let him “pitch in.” Indignant.—Our German citizens are universally opposed to many provisiors of the new Sunday Law. They are especially indignant at the attempt made to prevent assembling at their gardens. The Germans have always been distinguished for their orderly and industrious conduct, and the punctuality with which they have paid their taxes. They form a very important and useful part of our population ; but it is very likely that the Sunday Law, in conjunction with Frazer River, will cause them to leave the State, and go to some country “where they can worship God according to the dictates of their conscience.”— Morning Cail. Kanaka Prince Born.—The loyal subjects of King Kamehameha went in ta rejoicings on the 20th of May, much after the European style, in consequence of the birth of an heir to the Hawaiian crown. American and other consuls offered their congratulations, the dusky soldiery expressed their gladness, and a missionary presented, perhaps for the fortieth time, a bible to the King on the august occasion, accompanied with the usual allusions. The child is a boy. InsurANCE.—W. G. English, of Sacramento, has been appointed agent for three Insurance companies in Hartford, and one in Philadelphia, says the Bee, and intends to insure property hereafter in staunch American companies and at greatly reduced rates. [=> Geo. E. Wellington has disposed of hisinterest in the Folsom Dispa/ch to Wm. Ewing and retires. Richard Rust has left the Statesman and taken up his abode with Avaline of the Amador Sentinel. Pears.—Fruit of this kind has appeared in our market, which the Cail truly describes ‘‘as large as your thumb and as mellow as a turnip.” Tue Fovurtu will be celebrated at Hughes’ race course with the usual horse and foot races, target shooting, a grand dinner, &c. Hughes knows how to get up these things “you bet, bar keep.” > Several persons at Rough and Ready have become “seized and possessed” with the Frazer River fever and gone te try their luck in the new diggings. J.K. Smith, formerly a Representative of this county is-one of them. Erratum.—lIn our fire and water article of last week there was an erratum The length of pipe required is about 3000 feet instead of 1000 as the types read. ‘The types only were at fault. k= The quartz mills in our vicinity we learn are crushing a great quantity of quartz, which is paying from $30 to $175 per ton—or less. = We learn from good authority that $10,000 a week is taken out at Gold Hill, in this county, by the various mining companies. iF The Dardanelles company, near Yankee Jims, declared a divident last week of $15,000 or $1,000 to a share. Favors.—We are indebted to Welch, Hamlin and D. Dunlap for magazines and papers. E> Wm. Anderson, the second nate of the steamer Cortez, was drowned at Benicia on Sunday. Si Ee Several very rich quartz leads have been discovered near Chipp’s Flat and Camptonville. The following resolutions were adopted by the First Congregational Church and Society of Nevada, on accepting the years, has labored so earnestly both for t mporal and spiritual interests of to his Jack Powrrs.—A_ correspondent o the Alta, under date of June 7th says: San Luis Obispo county, you will remember, is alleged to have been th “stamping ground” of the notorious Jac and the scene of many a robd murder perpetrated by the band of outlaws of which he is said to hav been the leader. So universal aia the inhabita the belief in his guilt, that they have offered $2,500 for his arrest, and have formed themselves into a vigilance committee to aid in exterminating the hordes of robbers who infest their country. It appears that they had reason to believe that Jack would be down upon the steamer, and some fifty of the committee, well armed, were waiting upon the beach to give him a warm reception. Everything was prepared to hang Jack “as high as Haman.” The feeling against him is very bitter, and he will stand no show of escape if ever he falls into their clutches. A Broap Farce.—That doughty soldier and leader of all the militias, Gen. Kibbe, and that self-dubbed “statesman,” Col. Weller, by the wrath of Ged, Governor of the State of California, have put their heads together and called a convocation of knights of the bloody trade to assemble at San Francisco and investigate the character of Capt. Johns who refused to imbne his hands in the blood of his fellow-citizens engaged in the vigilance movement. The warriors around the drum head in this case should be decked in the feathers of geese. i The Shasta Courier says two miners near Horsetown, having the Frazier River fever sold their interests— one-thitd each—in a claim, the one fo $30 the other fcr $25. They the eleaned up their washing of the three days previous, which yielded them $24 per day each. On Monday last, the purchaser washed out with a pan $2 trom the tailings. The former owe of these claims sold out to go to Fraze —not being satisfied with an ounce a day. ie Judge Botts declares in a card that “God willing and the Democratic County Convention consenting,” he will be the next District Judge of the Sacramento District. If Judge Botts has to wait for a unity of sentiment between Heaven and a locofoco convention his days will be long in the land before his hopes are realized. CaLircrnia Cu.turist.— We have received the first number of this periodcal, published by Wheeler & Wadsworth, San Francisco. It is published morthly in magazine shape, contains 48 pages, is embellished with engravings and promises to be the very thing for tke country. The first number is worth to any even small cultivator of the soil, five dollars, the subscription price for a year. Killed ina Duel.—B. H. Miles, an Assemblymen from Santa Cruz county, in 1857, was lately killed in a duel in Arizona by a Mr. Oury. Mr. Miles was a quiet unassuming gentleman and is the last man we would expect to hear of being engaged in a so-called affair of honor. [=> Peter Dumford was killed at Angel’s, Calaveras county, on the 4th inst., by a tub falling on him. He was ina shaft at the time of the accident and lived but a few moments after its occurrence. Dumford was from Clermont county, Ohio. Battoon Ascension. — The Fourth will be celebrated at Forest Hill, Placer county, by a balloon ascension by Prof. Launeta, of Paris, and by fire works. James F. Angel, formerly of this city, is the getter up of the affair. [= The Globe says that since the . breaking out of the Frazier river gold . excitement the number of passengers that left San Francisco for the north on steamers and sailing vessels is 9,327. Among the number there were 156 women and 33 children.

Masonic —Sr. Joun's Day. — The day of the patron Saint of the Masons was celebrated with due honors yesterday afternoon, by a procession, followed by an oration by Thos. P. Hawley, and closing with an elegant ball in the evening at the Court House in which the beauty and fashion cf the county participated. The institution we judge from appearances is a growing one in this community. The fine regalias of yesterday made a satisfactory display to those who are lucky enough to ‘wear them. {> The San Francisco Morning Cali ought to be held responsible for the following : Proud of his Privileges —We Americansare usually jealous of our rights and proud of our political privileges and equality. The peculiar social and political condition is often the subject of pardonable boasting, and occasionally enthusiastic individuals in debating up on our glorious institutions, soar aloft on the pinions of the sublime and fall “kersp:ash” into the puddle of the ridiculous The following is an instance in point A short time since we attended the de liberations of a debating society, not a thousand miles from San Francisco, and there heard an eloquent member delive: himself of the following outburst of patriotic eloquence : “Mr. President—This is a free country! Itisa free country! It is our proud boast that we are all equal! Yes sir, Mr. President if a man traduces m y character, steals my property gets drunk robs my purse and injures my reputation I have the proud consolation of knowing that he is my equal !” {A gentlemen travelling in Russia fell ill ofan iufluenza, but was restored by the usual remedy—a Russian bath.
