SL “Y\ GoxstitetrenaB Conve NTION. — Governor Weiler, on his recent visit to Nevada, declared his determination to make the constitutional convention question a prominent topic of the canvass about toopen. Judging from certain signs we see floating on the politieal horizon it would seem that Governor Weller will have no fair opportuni— ty tocanvass the State on the aforesaid qnestion unless he does it for a conqueror of himself. Whether he does or not is immaterial. But the fact that an office holder and seeker favors the calling of aconventionto revise the constitution may be set down as something strange. and a decided advance upon the times when the same question was submitted before. On that occasiou every holder of an office and every aspirant for one from San Diego to Ore gon did his best to defeat the measure. Gov. Weller, we think, will prove an exception to the rule this year. That aspiring class whose creed is that offices were created for them alone, will move heaven and earth to defeat any measare which has for its object retrenchment in expenditure and lessening of offices. We cannot blame them. Poli tics is their trade, and by their trade comes the wherewith to keep soul and body together. But the people in general must take equally good care of their own interests, even if by a rigid course they bring the certain class in question down to starvation allowance, and compel them to eke out an existence with the reward of a little honest toil. When the constitutionai eonvention proposition was submitted to the people, Nevada was one of the six counties of the State that approved it; and she approved it heartily and will do se again. But little has been said of the proposed measure, pro or con, thus far. We observe that Brother Avery, of the Press, is “right as a book” on the question, and argue therefrom that Nevada County will improve upon her former majority for a convention. Tue TickeT.—In the report of proceedings elsewhere, will be found the nominees ofthe popular sovereignty wing for county offices. We have not the time nor room to-day necessary to analyze the ticket, but will endeavor to do so at anearly moment. It is acknowledged to be best, though not neeessarily strongest, in the bind quarters. Takeit as a whole it might have been better and possibly worse. The Legislative part of it presents a fair amount of talent and honesty. Of the remainder we care not to speak at this time. Suffice it for the present to say that since the nomination of Wednesday, we hear a most prevalent talk of an independent people’s movement. Should the Republicans, Americans and Whigs deny the assistance this year they rendered the popularsovereignty party last, the ticket has no earthlygshow of success. The Irish vote may enable the nominee for Sheriff to make the riffle, but if so the probabilities are that he will be a lone winner in the race of his party. Primary Etecrion.—The popular sovereignty men held their eleetion for delegates to the County convention on Saturday Jast. The affair came off in the most orderly manner. Nothing of the noise and:il] nature too frequently indulged inon such occasions was discovered. ‘The whole nunzber of votes polled was 890—a monstrous poll for a primary election. ‘Phe contest was bee tween Chas. Kent ard J. H.Helm, for the sheriffalty and resulted in the success of the former by a majority of 68. As usual after all such trials of strength the friends of the losing party have considerable to say about imported votes, and the unusual large poll gives color to their complaints. Episcopat Servict&.—The heur for holding Episcopal service at the court house is changed from 3. P. M.,to 11. A. M.—at the fatter hour the services will be held hereafter till further notice. Tracy’s Letrer.—F, P. Tracy,one ef the leaders of the Republicans, has written a letter to a friend in Amador, giving his views on the phasesof the slavery question entertained by the parties of the eountry and suggesting the probable course of his party. Mr. Tracy states the matter clearly and properly. Read the letter ju the Union of Tuesday. Sos Leatuer.—S. Mayers has ja returned from below with an addition of $7,000 worth ofbeots and sboes to his ormer stock. It isa capital place, bis store, now to get elegantly shod. Tue Oalifornia Minstrels will appear at Nevada, about the 16th of June. —_—$$——_ O re nie a — June 1, 1859. @harles Kent; as Chairmaan of the Ceunty Convention ealled the house to order at 11 A.M. Hon. John Caldwell nominated J. EB. Squires, of Little York, as temporary chairman, who was elected unanimeusly. Mr. ‘Sguires “congratulated the convention. that it had nodiseordant elements in it.this year, paid a passing left-haniled tribute to the Administration, ‘said ‘that the principles advocated by that wing were at variance with every principle of Demacracy. He said the old maxim among Democrats was “principles, not meu,’’ but tbat the Administration wing knew nothing but the behests of James Buchanan. Thos. Hannah and Mr. Adsit. of Bridgeport. were appointed Secretaries. A committee of one from each township was appointed to pass upon credentials, anda like committee on order of business and naming permanent officers.— The Convention then adjourned to 14 o’clock. * AFTERNOON SESSION. The following gentleman were named by the preper committee as permanent officers: ‘Thomas Hannah, President. Major J. M. Sterling, James Nutall, Dr. Noble Martin, Vice -Presidents. H.B. Hosmer, Miles B. O. Connor, Secretaries. The suggestions of the committee being approved unanimously, the President came forward: amid much applause, took the stand,and harangued the delegates vociferously.— The Vice Presidents, by request of the President came forward and were introduced. Major Sterling said he voted for Monroe and held a commission signed by Madison, at the announcement of which the sovereigns applauded without stint. Nominations being declared in order, the Conventicn proceeded to nominate in the order proposed by the proper committee. Mr. Charles Kent, of Nevada, was declared the nominee for Sheriff by acclamation. Mr. Kent eame forward, after a little delay and expatiated on his unwavering Democracy in emphatic if not elegant terms. Some chaffering about resolutions was here indulged in, but finally S, S. Fenn, of Eureka, by acclaim was nominated for County Clerk. Mr. Fenn tendered fhis profound thanks for the honor in appropriate but brief language. Mr George S. Hupp and Mr. T. P. Hawley, of Nevada, were nominated for District Attorney. The roll was called and resulted in 58 votes for Hupp and 25 for Hawley. Mr. Hupp being loudly called for re sponded in a speech of some minutes duration, m which he took occasion to declare that the present administration had proved false to every pledge it had made, and recreant to every trust. He denounced the whole course of Buchanan declared his attachment to the prineiples of popular sovereign{y, and cha!lenged the minions cf the President, Henry Meredith and all his cohorts, to meet him on the stump. He wanted to show that individual whose “one eye was squinting on a seat in Congress and the other on the Lor,” where he stood. Mr. Hupp fell into some slight errcrs in regard to the instructions of the California delegation to the Cineinnati onvention, in the cowrse of his remarks. — He was loudly applauded by the sovereigns. Theroll was calledon E. C. Webster, of Grass Valley, and Aaron Davis of Nevada, being put in nomina‘tion for County Treasurer, and the result was, 65 votes for Webster, and 13 for Davis. Webster briefly tendered his acknowledgments. Martin Brennan, of Little York was then nominated for Assessor. The roll was called on nominations of Geo. I. Lammon, of. Nevada, Sam. McBrown, of Bloomfield and b.C. Hartman, of Eureka, for Public Administrator and resulted in the choice of Mr McBrown, Dr. Tompkins, of Grass Valley. was then nominated by acelaination for the office of Superintendent of Schools. James Hoadly, and R. H. Raymond of Nevada, were put in nom. Ination for the office of Surveyor. The former on roll called received 49 votes and the latter 29. Major J. M. Sterling was unanimously nominated for Coroner For the office of Senator, S. H. Chase, of Eureka, and E. W. Roberts, of Rough & Ready were nominated. The claims of Mr. Chase, and the policy of nominating him were pressed with much force and earnestness by Wm. H. Martin.— A ballot resulted in the choice of Chase by a vote of 60 to 20. L. B. Adsit of. Bridgeport; Noble Martin. of Little York; Miles B. O'Connor, of Grass Valley ; J. C. Palmer, of Nevada, were nominated by acclamation for the Assembly. A ballot was taken on the names of T. H. Pomeroy, of Rough & Ready, and J. M. Ormsby, of Washington, which resulted’ in favor of the f.rmer, ae the fifth candidate fer the Assembly by a vote of 42 to 32. T. EH. Rolfe, uf Nevada was then nominated by acclamation as Supervisor for the lst Distzict, when the Convention took a recess of ten minutes to select delegates to the State Convention. Sates On reassemblifig the appointment of the following delegates was confirmed. W.J. Knox, 1.N. Dawley. Thales Curtis, H. W. Johnson, J; W. Dennison, Thos. Haunab, Arthur Henry, John _ ae ad f 2, FA" S . Ormsbee, F. M. ‘Trail. A county committee for the ensuing year was selected which want of roem precludes the possibility of publishing in this iesue. ‘Tus Ruver.—The Miners, the Eureka Lake, Grizzly, and Humbug Canon Ditches have been eonsolidated and be-: come the property of one eompany, making the Iargest piece of ditch property inthe State. A few weeks will complete the connection between the ditches near Eureka. They will then be ina position to furnish an abnndant supply of water at all places om the ridge. Dr. Weaver has made arrangements for the early completion of his ditch, and it is expected, that with the coming competition, the price of water will be reduced to more 1easonable rates. The miners on the upper flats are all busy, and, report says, with good success. At Ifumbug the mines are being more extensively worked, and with a very marked improvement over former years. On Marguarita and Villa Rica hills, washing is continued day and night without stopping. The New York Co, took out last. week, working seven men, $1140. Other claims in the vicinity are paying in the same proportion. It is said that the miners of Kenebee and Columbia Hill will commence work on Weaver's ditch, as soon as preliminary arrangements can be made, receiving forthei labor serip payable in water at twelve and a half cents per inch. The supply of water, instead of beginning to fail, as has been the case in all past years, becomes more regular and abundant, as the season advances, ard the ridge, from Cherokee up, will this summer gather a harvest of gold unequaled by that of any preceding year. JAY. Omeaa, May, 28, 1859. Ep. JouRNAL.—An ample supply of water is now furnished to about three hundred minersin this place, who are all at work hard and doing first-rate. Bowman, Lansing & Shrum took ont. on last Friday, after three week’s run with four hands the neat sum of $1,458, The gold was obtained from the top dirt, the bed rock still remaining untouched. The claims of Prescott & Co. are paying $18 per day to the man, Marvin & Co. and Me Gonigle & Co. are realizing about $10 per day to the hand. In fact most of the companies about Omega have no reason to complain. None make less than $4 per day clear of expenses, that I am aware of. Diamond Creek is turning out well. ‘The diggings there have been but rerecently opened. For three days labor Hackett and & Kirtly realized last week $300. This is the first company that has diggings completely opened at Diamond creek. ; Theré are miles of mining ground about Omega still. unprospected, and what with the auriferous soil hereabouts and the facilities for water now offered, this place bids fair to become not long henee one of the most important mining camps in the whole state. Yours Traty, A Sevscriser. FuptcraL Cuance.—The new County Judge, D, Belden, began to warm the seat occupied eight years by Judge Cas. well, on Friday last. A lot of the boys went up tothe hall of justice to witness the ceremonies of installation, and hear the farewell words of the retiring Judge. At the appointed hour the ineoming jdige walked up to the seat alone, without pomp or ceremony, took off his beaver, and ordered the elerk to eall the jury roll, as if the change in the Judges was of noimportance whatever. and perhaps it is’nt. Such is the silent working of our institutions——sometimes. frDr. E. A. Tompkins writes us to withhold the publication of his name as the nominee of the convention of Weddesday, as hehas no aspiration to be mingled up with politics in any shape though subseribirg to the doctrines of the Convention that neminated him. We received his letter too late to comply with bis request had we deemed our‘selves-authorized to suppress any material portion of the proceedings. We hope the public will appreeiate the Dr’s modesty. Tuat Brivoe. -The Shasta Courier enumerates but three eandidates in the field from the north, for Congress, and designates: Messrs Geiger, Burch and Msintgomery asthe persons. Now to our certain knowledge Mr. Henry Mendeth of the eounty of Nevada is an aspirant for that nomination, andiae he is every way worthy of it, we object tothe Courier or any other paper making s bridge of Henry's nose—we do.— Piacer Herald. ws ; ; The Herald don’tseem to like the plan of making @ poneassinorum of Mer edith’s nose. * Beniciors Notics.—Rev.

Mr. who are perfectly willing to sacrifice Ralton,as Merentio, did himself credit, . themselves for the public we are advised as he almost always does. On Tuesday night the exeiting tragedy of Sybil vas enacted, and repeated by Fequést om the succeeding night. Both nights there wasa full audience. After having received the plaudits of thousands in the ‘charaeter of Sybil, after the thousand flattering notiees from the press showered upwn her, and after the approving smile of that splendid ciitie and lady, Madam Le Vert, it. would be a work of assumption for us to criticise the artistie skill of Miss Avonia Jones. That she is anartiste of rare attainments. in her profession for one so young, is seldom disputed.Faults she has, but none so stubborn that time and study will not wearaway. As sheis, few take the auditory 50 completely, and few, very few, have departed leaving a better impression. Mr D. FE. Ralton acted the part of Eustace Clifton in superior style. Among the many actors it has been our fortune toaneet in California, none commands greater respect, on the stage and off, than Ralton. He is a clever gentleman any where you find bin. The company! composed as it is of such persons as those already mentioned and Mrs. Jones, Miss Sophie Edwin, Miss Annie Smith, J. P. Hyde, Walter Leman, Mr. Kingsland, Mr. Mortimer and others, is decidedly one of best, that has ever traversed the State, and is-bound to gather golden opinions and dollars wherever it goes. Miss Avonia was called before tke curtain on her last appearance, when she returned thanksina neat speech for the complimentary manuer in which she had been received. and promised to return before leaving the State. Repustican Convention.—We have only time to say that the Republicans met yesterday in County Convention, and after much diseussion upon the policy of nominating a ticket finally, voted 30 tode. The following is the ticket: For Sheriff, Wm. Butterficld. Nevada; Clerk, J. 1. Sykes, Grass Valley: Treasurer, Alex. Frazer, San Juan; Assessor, Whitman, Rough & Ready; District Attorney. A. A. Sargent, Ne. vada; County Surveyor, John R. Archibald, Bridgep’t; School Sup ¢ Rev. M. Kellogg., Grass Valley; Public Administrator, Jas. H. Moore, Bridgeport; Senator, Jas. Collins, Bridgeport; Assembly, E. H. Gaylord, Little York, A J. Elder Bloomfield, A. B. Debson, Rough & Ready, Frank Crawford French Corral, D. Crittenden, Nevada. The ticket much asbe may said against the policy of nominating it, is composed of men of excellent moral character generally good tax-paying citizens, and of standing influence andj ability. If the Republicans adhere tojt the administration party has only to walk over the course in the eanyass. The Republicans adopted resolutions stating that they had not bean governed by strict adherence to party in some of their nominations—they presented men of worth that honest men of every party could support. Mars.—Mr S. A. Kelley is in town and will remain two weeks for the purpose of supplying citizens with wall maps of the United States. He has a beautiful map, by 4. J. Joknson, about seven feet square which he sells at $16. The map embraces the United States, Mexico, Central America, the West Indies and a part of Canada. Each Republic is divided into States, and each State into counties or swbdivisioas, and all the towns vf note are distinctly marked. The routesto and from Calitornia, by land and sea are plainly laid down and every place along them that we have ever read of, noted. The mapfis the very latest, seems to be well executed, and well worth paying for. Nothing ornaments a room more than good large maps of countries, They give an jair of intelligence to the very walls.— Especially should no American be without his own great country hung up for himself. and children, if he have any, to gaze uponGrano Jury.—The Grand Jury elosed their session, and submitted their final report on Wednesday morning. The numberof complaints made was 9, which complaints were passed upon as foNews, murder, one indictment; a ssault with a deadly weapon, one; assault with an intent.tocommit murder, one ; obstructing and injaing the public highay, oresimple assault, one bills ignured two; bills dismissed, two The grand jury compliment the Dietrict Attorney for his assistance and advice at all times rendered; pass favorably uponthe condition of tie county jail and the care prisoners, also upon the conduct of the county hospital. Monrusy Luctures.—Arrangements have been made for monthly leetures at the M. E. Church, for the purpose of meeting defiziencies in the monthly incidental expenses, The first lecture wilt be detivered at the church ov Broad street, on Monday evening June 6th by Rev. D. A. Dryden. Subdject—“Ourselves.” Tickets of admittance at the _} door. $1,00. . is not quite enough. Others may wish ardently to serve their country, and doubtless, at heart, are nearly quite as patriotie as Mr. Lockwood. But it is not always the best way to estimate the will equal to the deed. Good intentions are good enough in their way, though some onc has said and mary repeated it, that a certain nameless place iv full of them. We do not ‘wish to disparage the patriotic impulses of the many candidates for office in this county. We only wish to suggest that deeds are better tickets of ment than impulses never exeeuted. With deeds asa criterion for the bestowal of offices we can hardly see how the claims of Mr. Lockwood can he overlooked. He has served the people without a remote hope of reward in dangerous places where coolness and heroism are requisite Our readers will remember that Mr. J. W. Lockwood volunteered to assist the Sheriff's posse in an attempt to arrest a notorious gang of murderers and robbers below Grass Valley last winter Under cover of night the arresting party, four in number, made a descent upon the den of the villians who outnumbered them two to one. A fight ensued in which one of the murderers, Ed. Eugene Whitney, was killed, and another, Riley, wounded secured and is now lodged in jail in this place. In the melee Mr. Lockwood was severely wounded in the right arm, which has disabled bim for labor probably for life. He has never presumed to ask an office at the hands of the peopte before, but has preferred to gain an honest living by working at his trade. Possessing a good judgment, and being an honest man, his friends and himself have thought it would not be out of charaeter for him to try for the offiee of county assessor. We hope really in view of the case that the nomination will be bestowed upon him by some pasty ; we care little by which,provided there 1s a good show for aneleetion. To the people, the people not bound down by the dictation of party Teaders, we commend Mr Lockwood. RaibroaD FRoM SACRAMENTO TO Nevapa.—We have before us a circular signed by the most prominent and influental citizens of-Placer county, setting forth in a convineing shape the advantages to thateounty and Nevada, and the worth of the investment that would be certain by the eonstruction of a railroad from Folsom to Auburn and ultimately to Nevada. The cireular produces the stubborn fact for anti-railroad men, if there be be any, to combat, that the amount of freight brought intoand passing through Placer eounty,is annually about 84,000 tons. At $2.50 per ton, and 100 passengers each way daily at $1,590 each, with the addition of down freights. it is demonstrated thatthe railroad to Auburn will be a paying institution. It is proposed to form a company with a capital stoek of $850,000, to beissued in shares of $100 each, for the purpose of constructing the road. A subscription list has bee put in circulation and the people of Placer are going atthe work in good earnest. ‘Fhe citizens of Nevada county are invited to co-operate with their brethren in Placer. It must be obvious to every man in Nevada city that the interest of this piace lies in the construction of a railroad coming from the direction of Auburn. A depotat or near this place would be sure to command for ourselves again the trade of the entire ridge which is now given to Marysvilie. A part of Sierra county would also depend once more upon this city for supplies. Asa measure of poliey we favor the Auburn road, and would recommend the consideration of the subject to our readers. A subscription I'st, and the circular ean beseecn at this office. ‘ The latter we shall ‘ake eccasion to publish next week. ADDENDA ANn Correctivas.—Several other gentlemen having been announced as candidates since the publication of our list of last week, in accordance witha promise then made, we make the following addenda and corree: tions: J. W. Lockwood, of Grass Valley, administration, James B. Prewitt, of Washington, Administration; J. E. P. Williams, of Rough& Ready, administration, for Assessor, Sam. Tuttle, of Rough & Ready, for Assembly, Jcstice Done.—Arehie and Boley. who madean attempt to rob Nichols some. time since, on the Forest City road, have received their trial at.

Young, will announce ‘another gift entertainmen‘. on a ‘large scale. The gifts will be entirely new and of the most valuable character such as = be sure to be highly appreciated by all. . . . Srraws.—The CincinnatiGazette; of May 3d says: Simultaneousfy with the tumored negotiations betweew Buchanan and Douglas, at Washington, a remarkably fraternal state of feeling has broken out between the organs of these two magnates, in Jilinois. The Buehanan paper a‘ Chieago declares its readiness to support Douglas, if numinated at Charleston, and the leading Douglas organ at Springfield, gives alike pledge in regard to Buchanan.” Weare assured by a gentleman of the highest respectability, and influence that the leading popular sovereignty democrats east are fearing Douglas will give in his adhesion to the administration. Bets have been offered that in three months his affilliation with that party will be complete. We do not know how near Dovgias may beto the point of reconciliation but it is a certain thing that his associates in the popular sovereignty cause distrust his stability, and caution is enjoined against a too prominent use of his name in connection with the principles he waslately so warmly advocating. The item from the Cincinnati Gazette, above quoted has a tendency to strengthen suspicion.

SL “Y\ GoxstitetrenaB Conve NTION. — Governor Weiler, on his recent visit to Nevada, declared his determination to make the constitutional convention question a prominent topic of the canvass about toopen. Judging from certain signs we see floating on the politieal horizon it would seem that Governor Weller will have no fair opportuni— ty tocanvass the State on the aforesaid qnestion unless he does it for a conqueror of himself. Whether he does or not is immaterial. But the fact that an office holder and seeker favors the calling of aconventionto revise the constitution may be set down as something strange. and a decided advance upon the times when the same question was submitted before. On that occasiou every holder of an office and every aspirant for one from San Diego to Ore gon did his best to defeat the measure. Gov. Weller, we think, will prove an exception to the rule this year. That aspiring class whose creed is that offices were created for them alone, will move heaven and earth to defeat any measare which has for its object retrenchment in expenditure and lessening of offices. We cannot blame them. Poli tics is their trade, and by their trade comes the wherewith to keep soul and body together. But the people in general must take equally good care of their own interests, even if by a rigid course they bring the certain class in question down to starvation allowance, and compel them to eke out an existence with the reward of a little honest toil. When the constitutionai eonvention proposition was submitted to the people, Nevada was one of the six counties of the State that approved it; and she approved it heartily and will do se again. But little has been said of the proposed measure, pro or con, thus far. We observe that Brother Avery, of the Press, is “right as a book” on the question, and argue therefrom that Nevada County will improve upon her former majority for a convention. Tue TickeT.—In the report of proceedings elsewhere, will be found the nominees ofthe popular sovereignty wing for county offices. We have not the time nor room to-day necessary to analyze the ticket, but will endeavor to do so at anearly moment. It is acknowledged to be best, though not neeessarily strongest, in the bind quarters. Takeit as a whole it might have been better and possibly worse. The Legislative part of it presents a fair amount of talent and honesty. Of the remainder we care not to speak at this time. Suffice it for the present to say that since the nomination of Wednesday, we hear a most prevalent talk of an independent people’s movement. Should the Republicans, Americans and Whigs deny the assistance this year they rendered the popularsovereignty party last, the ticket has no earthlygshow of success. The Irish vote may enable the nominee for Sheriff to make the riffle, but if so the probabilities are that he will be a lone winner in the race of his party. Primary Etecrion.—The popular sovereignty men held their eleetion for delegates to the County convention on Saturday Jast. The affair came off in the most orderly manner. Nothing of the noise and:il] nature too frequently indulged inon such occasions was discovered. ‘The whole nunzber of votes polled was 890—a monstrous poll for a primary election. ‘Phe contest was bee tween Chas. Kent ard J. H.Helm, for the sheriffalty and resulted in the success of the former by a majority of 68. As usual after all such trials of strength the friends of the losing party have considerable to say about imported votes, and the unusual large poll gives color to their complaints. Episcopat Servict&.—The heur for holding Episcopal service at the court house is changed from 3. P. M.,to 11. A. M.—at the fatter hour the services will be held hereafter till further notice. Tracy’s Letrer.—F, P. Tracy,one ef the leaders of the Republicans, has written a letter to a friend in Amador, giving his views on the phasesof the slavery question entertained by the parties of the eountry and suggesting the probable course of his party. Mr. Tracy states the matter clearly and properly. Read the letter ju the Union of Tuesday. Sos Leatuer.—S. Mayers has ja returned from below with an addition of $7,000 worth ofbeots and sboes to his ormer stock. It isa capital place, bis store, now to get elegantly shod. Tue Oalifornia Minstrels will appear at Nevada, about the 16th of June. —_—$$——_ O re nie a — June 1, 1859. @harles Kent; as Chairmaan of the Ceunty Convention ealled the house to order at 11 A.M. Hon. John Caldwell nominated J. EB. Squires, of Little York, as temporary chairman, who was elected unanimeusly. Mr. ‘Sguires “congratulated the convention. that it had nodiseordant elements in it.this year, paid a passing left-haniled tribute to the Administration, ‘said ‘that the principles advocated by that wing were at variance with every principle of Demacracy. He said the old maxim among Democrats was “principles, not meu,’’ but tbat the Administration wing knew nothing but the behests of James Buchanan. Thos. Hannah and Mr. Adsit. of Bridgeport. were appointed Secretaries. A committee of one from each township was appointed to pass upon credentials, anda like committee on order of business and naming permanent officers.— The Convention then adjourned to 14 o’clock. * AFTERNOON SESSION. The following gentleman were named by the preper committee as permanent officers: ‘Thomas Hannah, President. Major J. M. Sterling, James Nutall, Dr. Noble Martin, Vice -Presidents. H.B. Hosmer, Miles B. O. Connor, Secretaries. The suggestions of the committee being approved unanimously, the President came forward: amid much applause, took the stand,and harangued the delegates vociferously.— The Vice Presidents, by request of the President came forward and were introduced. Major Sterling said he voted for Monroe and held a commission signed by Madison, at the announcement of which the sovereigns applauded without stint. Nominations being declared in order, the Conventicn proceeded to nominate in the order proposed by the proper committee. Mr. Charles Kent, of Nevada, was declared the nominee for Sheriff by acclamation. Mr. Kent eame forward, after a little delay and expatiated on his unwavering Democracy in emphatic if not elegant terms. Some chaffering about resolutions was here indulged in, but finally S, S. Fenn, of Eureka, by acclaim was nominated for County Clerk. Mr. Fenn tendered fhis profound thanks for the honor in appropriate but brief language. Mr George S. Hupp and Mr. T. P. Hawley, of Nevada, were nominated for District Attorney. The roll was called and resulted in 58 votes for Hupp and 25 for Hawley. Mr. Hupp being loudly called for re sponded in a speech of some minutes duration, m which he took occasion to declare that the present administration had proved false to every pledge it had made, and recreant to every trust. He denounced the whole course of Buchanan declared his attachment to the prineiples of popular sovereign{y, and cha!lenged the minions cf the President, Henry Meredith and all his cohorts, to meet him on the stump. He wanted to show that individual whose “one eye was squinting on a seat in Congress and the other on the Lor,” where he stood. Mr. Hupp fell into some slight errcrs in regard to the instructions of the California delegation to the Cineinnati onvention, in the cowrse of his remarks. — He was loudly applauded by the sovereigns. Theroll was calledon E. C. Webster, of Grass Valley, and Aaron Davis of Nevada, being put in nomina‘tion for County Treasurer, and the result was, 65 votes for Webster, and 13 for Davis. Webster briefly tendered his acknowledgments. Martin Brennan, of Little York was then nominated for Assessor. The roll was called on nominations of Geo. I. Lammon, of. Nevada, Sam. McBrown, of Bloomfield and b.C. Hartman, of Eureka, for Public Administrator and resulted in the choice of Mr McBrown, Dr. Tompkins, of Grass Valley. was then nominated by acelaination for the office of Superintendent of Schools. James Hoadly, and R. H. Raymond of Nevada, were put in nom. Ination for the office of Surveyor. The former on roll called received 49 votes and the latter 29. Major J. M. Sterling was unanimously nominated for Coroner For the office of Senator, S. H. Chase, of Eureka, and E. W. Roberts, of Rough & Ready were nominated. The claims of Mr. Chase, and the policy of nominating him were pressed with much force and earnestness by Wm. H. Martin.— A ballot resulted in the choice of Chase by a vote of 60 to 20. L. B. Adsit of. Bridgeport; Noble Martin. of Little York; Miles B. O'Connor, of Grass Valley ; J. C. Palmer, of Nevada, were nominated by acclamation for the Assembly. A ballot was taken on the names of T. H. Pomeroy, of Rough & Ready, and J. M. Ormsby, of Washington, which resulted’ in favor of the f.rmer, ae the fifth candidate fer the Assembly by a vote of 42 to 32. T. EH. Rolfe, uf Nevada was then nominated by acclamation as Supervisor for the lst Distzict, when the Convention took a recess of ten minutes to select delegates to the State Convention. Sates On reassemblifig the appointment of the following delegates was confirmed. W.J. Knox, 1.N. Dawley. Thales Curtis, H. W. Johnson, J; W. Dennison, Thos. Haunab, Arthur Henry, John _ ae ad f 2, FA" S . Ormsbee, F. M. ‘Trail. A county committee for the ensuing year was selected which want of roem precludes the possibility of publishing in this iesue. ‘Tus Ruver.—The Miners, the Eureka Lake, Grizzly, and Humbug Canon Ditches have been eonsolidated and be-: come the property of one eompany, making the Iargest piece of ditch property inthe State. A few weeks will complete the connection between the ditches near Eureka. They will then be ina position to furnish an abnndant supply of water at all places om the ridge. Dr. Weaver has made arrangements for the early completion of his ditch, and it is expected, that with the coming competition, the price of water will be reduced to more 1easonable rates. The miners on the upper flats are all busy, and, report says, with good success. At Ifumbug the mines are being more extensively worked, and with a very marked improvement over former years. On Marguarita and Villa Rica hills, washing is continued day and night without stopping. The New York Co, took out last. week, working seven men, $1140. Other claims in the vicinity are paying in the same proportion. It is said that the miners of Kenebee and Columbia Hill will commence work on Weaver's ditch, as soon as preliminary arrangements can be made, receiving forthei labor serip payable in water at twelve and a half cents per inch. The supply of water, instead of beginning to fail, as has been the case in all past years, becomes more regular and abundant, as the season advances, ard the ridge, from Cherokee up, will this summer gather a harvest of gold unequaled by that of any preceding year. JAY. Omeaa, May, 28, 1859. Ep. JouRNAL.—An ample supply of water is now furnished to about three hundred minersin this place, who are all at work hard and doing first-rate. Bowman, Lansing & Shrum took ont. on last Friday, after three week’s run with four hands the neat sum of $1,458, The gold was obtained from the top dirt, the bed rock still remaining untouched. The claims of Prescott & Co. are paying $18 per day to the man, Marvin & Co. and Me Gonigle & Co. are realizing about $10 per day to the hand. In fact most of the companies about Omega have no reason to complain. None make less than $4 per day clear of expenses, that I am aware of. Diamond Creek is turning out well. ‘The diggings there have been but rerecently opened. For three days labor Hackett and & Kirtly realized last week $300. This is the first company that has diggings completely opened at Diamond creek. ; Theré are miles of mining ground about Omega still. unprospected, and what with the auriferous soil hereabouts and the facilities for water now offered, this place bids fair to become not long henee one of the most important mining camps in the whole state. Yours Traty, A Sevscriser. FuptcraL Cuance.—The new County Judge, D, Belden, began to warm the seat occupied eight years by Judge Cas. well, on Friday last. A lot of the boys went up tothe hall of justice to witness the ceremonies of installation, and hear the farewell words of the retiring Judge. At the appointed hour the ineoming jdige walked up to the seat alone, without pomp or ceremony, took off his beaver, and ordered the elerk to eall the jury roll, as if the change in the Judges was of noimportance whatever. and perhaps it is’nt. Such is the silent working of our institutions——sometimes. frDr. E. A. Tompkins writes us to withhold the publication of his name as the nominee of the convention of Weddesday, as hehas no aspiration to be mingled up with politics in any shape though subseribirg to the doctrines of the Convention that neminated him. We received his letter too late to comply with bis request had we deemed our‘selves-authorized to suppress any material portion of the proceedings. We hope the public will appreeiate the Dr’s modesty. Tuat Brivoe. -The Shasta Courier enumerates but three eandidates in the field from the north, for Congress, and designates: Messrs Geiger, Burch and Msintgomery asthe persons.

On Tuesday night the exeiting tragedy of Sybil vas enacted, and repeated by Fequést om the succeeding night. Both nights there wasa full audience. After having received the plaudits of thousands in the ‘charaeter of Sybil, after the thousand flattering notiees from the press showered upwn her, and after the approving smile of that splendid ciitie and lady, Madam Le Vert, it. would be a work of assumption for us to criticise the artistie skill of Miss Avonia Jones. That she is anartiste of rare attainments. in her profession for one so young, is seldom disputed.Faults she has, but none so stubborn that time and study will not wearaway. As sheis, few take the auditory 50 completely, and few, very few, have departed leaving a better impression. Mr D. FE. Ralton acted the part of Eustace Clifton in superior style. Among the many actors it has been our fortune toaneet in California, none commands greater respect, on the stage and off, than Ralton. He is a clever gentleman any where you find bin. The company! composed as it is of such persons as those already mentioned and Mrs. Jones, Miss Sophie Edwin, Miss Annie Smith, J. P. Hyde, Walter Leman, Mr. Kingsland, Mr. Mortimer and others, is decidedly one of best, that has ever traversed the State, and is-bound to gather golden opinions and dollars wherever it goes. Miss Avonia was called before tke curtain on her last appearance, when she returned thanksina neat speech for the complimentary manuer in which she had been received. and promised to return before leaving the State. Repustican Convention.—We have only time to say that the Republicans met yesterday in County Convention, and after much diseussion upon the policy of nominating a ticket finally, voted 30 tode. The following is the ticket: For Sheriff, Wm. Butterficld. Nevada; Clerk, J. 1. Sykes, Grass Valley: Treasurer, Alex. Frazer, San Juan; Assessor, Whitman, Rough & Ready; District Attorney. A. A. Sargent, Ne. vada; County Surveyor, John R. Archibald, Bridgep’t; School Sup ¢ Rev. M. Kellogg., Grass Valley; Public Administrator, Jas. H. Moore, Bridgeport; Senator, Jas. Collins, Bridgeport; Assembly, E. H. Gaylord, Little York, A J. Elder Bloomfield, A. B. Debson, Rough & Ready, Frank Crawford French Corral, D. Crittenden, Nevada. The ticket much asbe may said against the policy of nominating it, is composed of men of excellent moral character generally good tax-paying citizens, and of standing influence andj ability. If the Republicans adhere tojt the administration party has only to walk over the course in the eanyass. The Republicans adopted resolutions stating that they had not bean governed by strict adherence to party in some of their nominations—they presented men of worth that honest men of every party could support. Mars.—Mr S. A. Kelley is in town and will remain two weeks for the purpose of supplying citizens with wall maps of the United States. He has a beautiful map, by 4. J. Joknson, about seven feet square which he sells at $16. The map embraces the United States, Mexico, Central America, the West Indies and a part of Canada. Each Republic is divided into States, and each State into counties or swbdivisioas, and all the towns vf note are distinctly marked. The routesto and from Calitornia, by land and sea are plainly laid down and every place along them that we have ever read of, noted. The mapfis the very latest, seems to be well executed, and well worth paying for. Nothing ornaments a room more than good large maps of countries, They give an jair of intelligence to the very walls.— Especially should no American be without his own great country hung up for himself. and children, if he have any, to gaze uponGrano Jury.—The Grand Jury elosed their session, and submitted their final report on Wednesday morning.

Others may wish ardently to serve their country, and doubtless, at heart, are nearly quite as patriotie as Mr. Lockwood. But it is not always the best way to estimate the will equal to the deed. Good intentions are good enough in their way, though some onc has said and mary repeated it, that a certain nameless place iv full of them. We do not ‘wish to disparage the patriotic impulses of the many candidates for office in this county. We only wish to suggest that deeds are better tickets of ment than impulses never exeeuted. With deeds asa criterion for the bestowal of offices we can hardly see how the claims of Mr. Lockwood can he overlooked. He has served the people without a remote hope of reward in dangerous places where coolness and heroism are requisite Our readers will remember that Mr. J. W. Lockwood volunteered to assist the Sheriff's posse in an attempt to arrest a notorious gang of murderers and robbers below Grass Valley last winter Under cover of night the arresting party, four in number, made a descent upon the den of the villians who outnumbered them two to one. A fight ensued in which one of the murderers, Ed. Eugene Whitney, was killed, and another, Riley, wounded secured and is now lodged in jail in this place. In the melee Mr. Lockwood was severely wounded in the right arm, which has disabled bim for labor probably for life. He has never presumed to ask an office at the hands of the peopte before, but has preferred to gain an honest living by working at his trade. Possessing a good judgment, and being an honest man, his friends and himself have thought it would not be out of charaeter for him to try for the offiee of county assessor. We hope really in view of the case that the nomination will be bestowed upon him by some pasty ; we care little by which,provided there 1s a good show for aneleetion. To the people, the people not bound down by the dictation of party Teaders, we commend Mr Lockwood. RaibroaD FRoM SACRAMENTO TO Nevapa.—We have before us a circular signed by the most prominent and influental citizens of-Placer county, setting forth in a convineing shape the advantages to thateounty and Nevada, and the worth of the investment that would be certain by the eonstruction of a railroad from Folsom to Auburn and ultimately to Nevada. The cireular produces the stubborn fact for anti-railroad men, if there be be any, to combat, that the amount of freight brought intoand passing through Placer eounty,is annually about 84,000 tons. At $2.50 per ton, and 100 passengers each way daily at $1,590 each, with the addition of down freights. it is demonstrated thatthe railroad to Auburn will be a paying institution. It is proposed to form a company with a capital stoek of $850,000, to beissued in shares of $100 each, for the purpose of constructing the road. A subscription list has bee put in circulation and the people of Placer are going atthe work in good earnest. ‘Fhe citizens of Nevada county are invited to co-operate with their brethren in Placer. It must be obvious to every man in Nevada city that the interest of this piace lies in the construction of a railroad coming from the direction of Auburn. A depotat or near this place would be sure to command for ourselves again the trade of the entire ridge which is now given to Marysvilie. A part of Sierra county would also depend once more upon this city for supplies. Asa measure of poliey we favor the Auburn road, and would recommend the consideration of the subject to our readers. A subscription I'st, and the circular ean beseecn at this office. ‘ The latter we shall ‘ake eccasion to publish next week. ADDENDA ANn Correctivas.—Several other gentlemen having been announced as candidates since the publication of our list of last week, in accordance witha promise then made, we make the following addenda and corree: tions: J.

Srraws.—The CincinnatiGazette; of May 3d says: Simultaneousfy with the tumored negotiations betweew Buchanan and Douglas, at Washington, a remarkably fraternal state of feeling has broken out between the organs of these two magnates, in Jilinois. The Buehanan paper a‘ Chieago declares its readiness to support Douglas, if numinated at Charleston, and the leading Douglas organ at Springfield, gives alike pledge in regard to Buchanan.” Weare assured by a gentleman of the highest respectability, and influence that the leading popular sovereignty democrats east are fearing Douglas will give in his adhesion to the administration. Bets have been offered that in three months his affilliation with that party will be complete. We do not know how near Dovgias may beto the point of reconciliation but it is a certain thing that his associates in the popular sovereignty cause distrust his stability, and caution is enjoined against a too prominent use of his name in connection with the principles he waslately so warmly advocating. The item from the Cincinnati Gazette, above quoted has a tendency to strengthen suspicion.
