THE NEVADA JOURNAL. FRIBAY MORNING, MARCH 234, 1860. Proexrssine.—The bill providing for calling for a Constitutional Convention, passed the Assembly last week with but few dissenting voices. We learn thata strong feeling in its favor prevails in the Senate and that inall probability the bill will be sub. mitted to Governot Downey for his approval . at no very distant day. Doubts as to the constitutionality of the hi Hl should it become alaw have been circulated by those opposed to calling a convention. It is alleged that the necessary vote o make the action of the people at the last . election on the constitutional question valid, has not been obtained at the office of the Seeretary of State, whereit is affirmed the only authoritative statistics to guide the. Legislature in the enactment of a law ealling a convention must be obtained. All information outside of that office is pronounced of no account. These objections do not seem to us valid. Ifthe number of votes cast for members of the Legislature at the last election must be determined exactly by the records in the office of the Secretary of State, before a convention act is passed, then the act must go by the board, for there is no way in the world under existing laws and regulations ty find it out. There is no provision in our . laws making it obligatory upon the judges and inspectors of elections to count, record a:l report the number of votes cast for membera of the Legislature. In counties where but two candidates for Legislative honors are running the number is easily determined ; but in counties like Nevada the number cannot b> known except by an actual count of all the ballots having legislative candidateson them. Nevada elects annually six membe-« of the Legislature.— Sometimes there as many as cighteen men running and voted for. The vote for no three individuals in the list could be said . to make the exact number of votes cast in . the county for members of the Legislature. The three highest, nor t' e three lowest, nor amean between all the votes, would give . the accurate number. The counties not having had the ballots counted which had onthem the names of candidates for the Legis'ature, the information required cannot be reported to the Secretary of State’s office, and the Legis!ature can obtain no accurate knowledge in that office to determine whether the convention question carried before the people. Inthe absence of any law requiring the Legislature to be governed by the records in the Secretary of State’s office In this matter,and in view of the want of accurate information to be obtained there touching this question, it is incumbent upom the Legislature to go outside of that office for the satisfactory information desired. And if the two Houses are satisfied that a majority of the votes cast at the last clection for members of the Legislature were in favor of a Constitutional Convention, we believe they are authorized and required to . pass an act calling said Convention. Tue woxver Expiarxep.—It is sagely suggested that the extraordinary high prices of claims just now at Washoe is owing to the Jate arrival of Dr. R. T. Huddart the fifth time from England. The Doctor having an unlimited command of capital, it is supposed that after having started that line of steamvhips from Liverpool to San Francisco he went to Great Britain tomake arrangements for, he had a few million pounds left for Washoe investment. The prospect of English capital flowing into the country on the other side of the mountains, is probably the cause of claims walking up at so rapida pace. Wecongratulate our friends in Washoe The Bulkhead. Dear or Gov. Boges.—Lilburn W. Boggs, Latterly we have been deluged with docuformerly Governor of Missouri, died at his ments fromSan Francisco relative to the pro. residence in Napa Valley, on the 14th inst. ject of building a sea wall around that city. . aged 63 years.

He occupied a scat in the Constitutional substance of the impressions received by &. Convention of this State, and has also servfirst perusal. edinthe State Legislature. The wife of . } The facts are substantially, that the people of San Francisco and of the State are divided in opinion ag to the necessity of building a bulkhead orsea-wall around the city front of San Francisco. On the one hand itis alleged that the wooden walls behind which the sand and dirt from the hills have been thrown to fill up water lots are decaying and giving way, allowing the sand to wash into the harbor to the serious injury of navigation, and the longer this state of things is permitted the more . the evil increases, and that unless checked in time the harbor is liable to be ruined, or, at least, the cost of reclaiming it is many fold increased by the delay. It is also alleged that the present city front not being on those lines which a scientific knowledge of the tidal currents would establish, the channel navigated by vessels is subject in places to the deposites of eddies which are rapidly impairing the passage for ships of . heavy draught. Taking advantage of these arguments, a company of men are pressing the Legislature to pass an act giving to them a right to build a sea-wall five miles in length, one hundred and ten feet wide on . the bottom and elevated above high tide.— They ask the donation of all lands on which . said wallis to be built, estimated at the present value at some five millions of dollars. Besides this, a perpetual monopoly of wharfage &c, is asked for by the compa. ny. On the other handit is claimed, by a portion of those opposed to the Parsons bill now before the Legislature, that there is no necessity existing at the present time of constructing a sea wall at all, and in support of their position on this point the testimony of Major Bache, of the U. S. Topographical Engineers, Prof. Davidson, of the Coast Survey, and Captains Gilmer and Alden, scientific employees of the Government on this coast, is adduced going to show . there is no imminent necessity of a sea wall around the front of SanFrancisco. The au. thority is strong and not to be overlooked . by fair minded men. To such men of science and experience should this important question on which the destiny of San Francisco and the State is measurably involved, submitted and by them decided. Another portion of the opposers of the Parsons bill . . are impressed with the conviction that a Bulkhead is necessary, but are utterly op. posed to placing the City and State under . the blighting dictation of a soulless monopoly which they insist the Parsons bill . if enacted would create. They would have a . wal! constructed, but not until a commission . of scientific men had determined where and how it should be done. They aver that it should be built so asto be free from exorbitant exactions, and so as to foster com-} merce rather than hamper it, and to redound to the good of the whole State. Our readers far removed from the center of .xcitement where this great question is upon their good fortuncin having attracted the attention of the great representative of ten million-airs. While we are on this subject we may as well notice another rumor, which we are inclined to think absurd, that the Doctor has come out with pleniary powers to sell the Thames tunnel to Washoe men to becut up into smaller ones for their claims. By this means the Doctor proposes to obtain ore enough to load the Great Eastern which he has purchased for one of the vessels in his line. Insane Asyium.—From the statistics furnished the Stockton Democrat by the clerk of the Asylum for the Insane, it appears, that insanity is on the decline compared with the three months ending Dec.1, 1859. The statement concerning the number of patients made insane by spirita~ alism, which has been going the rounds is exaggerated. There are but four persons in the Asylum from that cause, while from religious excitement three have been admitted since Dec. 2.t. N. P. Willis, in his play of “Tortesa, the Usurer,” makes one of his characters say that, “Eversince the flood, water has had the taste of sit nere,” therefore he preferred wine. He probably obtained this droll idea from a German poet, whose lines are translated thus: “Then to the Lord old Noah said, The water now tastes very bad ; Because there have been drowned therein All beasts and mankind in their sin— Tis therefore, Lord, I ever think, I would prefer some other drink.” “ Ocronoos.” Dion Bourcicault having had his work called “ Octoroon, or Plantation life in Louisiana” attacked by the press of New York, withdrcw it from the stage and sent it to the Governor of Louisiana dedicating it to his Excellency. Iscenprarny.—The New York Herald published the speech in full of George Sennott, in defense of Stevens, one of the Harper’s Ferry inurgents, If that speech isevercirculated South in the Herald, the chivalry may well say that paper is incendiary, J&P The Grass Valley National says a very estimable young lady of that place, was severely Injured afew days since by receiving a kick in the forepart of the back from a vicious cow she attempted to milk. We learn that the National man js slowly recovering. Resicyepv.—Harry I, Thornton, has resigned the office of District Attorney of Sierra county, and Mr, Alex. W. Baldwin has been promoted to the vacancy. Mr. Thornton retires with a reputation for ability and honorable purpose unfarnished. Hop Curturge.—It is gratifying to learn that 9 great many persons have become interested in Lop growing this year. Several acres have al3e1dy been planted in the State. A stone from the tomb of the great Napoleon bas been obtained at St. Helena by the Americau Coneul for the Washington Mouument. _ I' wil] receive ax appropriate inscription. * warmly discussed are apt to think themselves not interested. They should be assured it is one of the most important questions ever presented for the consideration of the people of California. The harbor of San Francisco is the most priceless gift of God to this country. Before all the mineral wealth of the State, it is most invaluable. That bay and that harbor should be the pride of every true Californian—we may We of the mountains have a vital interest in that imperial harbor, where yet may float the argosies of half the world. While selfish cabals are struggling say, every American. to impair the inheritance which gracious nature has bestowed upon us all, the patriotic voice from the uncorrupted mountains should be heard above the tumult saying, “avaunt ye workers of iniquity.” We trust that our representatives will be held to a strict account for the manner in which they shall discharge the sacred obligations resting upon them in the disposition of this question. The voice of San Francisco should befreely consulted. That city is doubly interested. Neither jealousy or revenge must influence the conduct of Governor Boggs is a grand-daughter of Daniel Boone, the pioneer of Kentucky. Ecective PosrMasters.—Mr. Morris of Illinois, has made a move in the House of Representatives, looking to the election of Postmasters by the people. it. Elective postmasters would be incompatible with the safe management of our postal system. There must be some corrective power lodged at the central office to remove dishonest or incompetent agents.— The people have no means of knowing whether their immediate postmasters is doing business in a proper manner, and if they did, in many cases would not be likely to right ® wrong soon enough. It is true, miserable officers at the seat of government, in whom the appointing power is lodged, often create and continue grossly incompetent and unworthy agents, but the fault is in the people after all that they allow such men appointing power. The evils thus engendered are, however, less than would arise from elective postmasters, Lear Yran.—The year 1860 is “leap year” and consists of 366 days. The neeessity Of leap year arises from the fact that by exact calculation the earth makes a revolution round the sun in 365 days, five hours, forty minutes and 58 seconds, or very nearly six hours more than what is called a civil year. One day of twentyfour hours is consequently added every fourth year to make the year commence when the sun is at the same point in the Zodiac as near as may be. It will be seen, however, that an intercalation of one day in four years is a trifle too It is provided that every year the number of which much, amounting in 158} years to one day. is divisable by four without a remainder is a leap year, except the last year of the century. PresipentiAL Veto.—The President has vetoed the bill passed by both Houses of Congress, making an appropriation for deepening the channel over the St. Clair flats. The commerce passing over these flats annually is estimated at $600,060,000. That veto sinks the Buchanan party of the North-west so deep in the mud that Old Cass, if he had the spirit of a man, should resign when such an indignity is offered to his State. not a bubble will ever rise to the surface. Marysvitie Exection.—The charter election of Marysville came off on Monday last.— The Express is mortified to have to confess that that gallant Democrat Levi Hite has been defeated forthe Mayorality. Also several other officers. The Express charges the Republicans with doing the nefarious deed. There is a middle-aged lady who takes her sewing, goes into the Maine House of Representatives, seats herself in the area in front of the Speaker, and indulges in occasional responses to the speeches of the members, according to her eaprice. Fuserst. Onation—Broperick.—We have received from Hon. J. C. McKibben, to whom we are greatly inde bted for it, an elegant pamphlet copy of the funeral Oration of John W. Dwinelle, delivered at the obsequies of Broderick in New York. It is an eloquent oration. _ W. Governor Weller says he has no choice for the Presidency now. His first choice was Senator Rusk and he committed suicide. Was his attachment to Rusk because of a fellow feeling? ConsoLipatep.—Tne Pacific Mail Steamship Company and Commodore Vanderbildt have consolidated. The Commodore takes the steamers on the Atlantic side. The effect has been to raise the price of passage considerably. Professor Whitney will probably be appointed . State Geologist under the new law creating the office. He comes highly recommended by such savans as Agassiz, Duna, Silliman end Hitchcock. Senator Haun has introduced into the Senate a resolution inquiring into the expediency of granting the proceeds of the New Almaden mines for the construction of the Pacific Railroad. A luminous idea, truly. Usiversatism.—The Editor of the “ Star of the Pacific,” will preach at the Court House, on Sunday, the Ist day of April, at 11 o’clock, A. M. Allare respectfully invited to attend. ANOTHER ALLISON Leap.—The Ish claim, in Jacksonville, Oregon, is reported to be fully equal to any on the coast for richness. From $6,000 one representative in the discussion of this question. His aims should be sanctified with the spirit of patriotism when the vital interests of San Francisco and the State come up for his final judgment. Baroy Lrenie, the renowned professor of Agricultural Chemistry, has written a letter to the London Times on the subject of sewers in cities to $10,000.a day is-thepay. It is devil-Jeh rich. The Sacramento Union entered upon its tenth year and nineteenth volume on Monday. It is probably equal to any newspaper on the continent for news.

Electricity was first introduced into the medi+ cal practice about a century ago, being an absolute novelty in the healing arts, the proper mode of employing it could only be aseertained by combining the study of its nature and properties with repeated experiments, and these experiments were conducted by Professors, Medical and Nonmedical of all nations. The study became so fascinating and new discoveries daily developed themselves whose results foreshadowed that when improvements should be made in the machines, 80 as to concentrate the power to be obtained by the electric fluid, it would make electricity not alone usefulin medicine but of incalculable value to the Mechanical Arts. All the numefous Philosophieal and Chemical works, magazines, etc., emanating from tho seientific socicties in France, Germany and England, published innumerable papers on the interesting discoveries. Attached to these communications we find the names of Brugnatelli, Fourcroy, Vauguelin, Thenard, and Van Mons, of France; Betzelius, Roslz, Bettger, Erdmann, Ivanberg, and a.host of others in Germany; while England likewise had all her great men in the arena of science. The excitement produced, continued. new machines of various forms were constructed and new methods of application was tried, to reduce medical treatment by electricity, to a regular system, but till about the year 1800, when Professor Volta, who having spent the greater part of hislife in study of this science, completed an instrament which by combination and arrangement of a number of metalic plates, he obtained the long desired object by being able to concentrate the electric fluid, by which meatis it could be better applied to the human body, and so Galyanism was ittroduced. In compliment to the Professor, his instrument was named after him, and that name will be honored by gencrations still unborn. The Voltaic Pile was, is and will continue to be, the model, based on which every apparatus applicable for the transmission of the electric fluid, when used to assist medieine in the curative art, will be formed. Those who undertook to introduce Galvanism at frrst had to encounter an immense amount of prejudice, which was but too much justified by the nutberless instances of abusive application of the remedy now first introduced by the scientifie medical practitioners. And thus, Mr, Editor, L shall conclude my Second Paper. Truly Yours, L. L. Oxeca, Marcu 17th, 1860. Ep. Jourxat:—We have had dreary, imisty, rainy weather for a few days past, but to-day is clear and we hope the stormis over. (nthe 15th a slight shock of an errthquake was felt . here. The vibrations were sufficiently strong to rattle dishes the table and to set clothes hung on the wall to swinging. It was noticed in the diggings that the water ranning over the bank was shaken and fell in broIts course on ken fragments instead of a stream. seemed from N. E. to S. W. and lasted but a few seconds. Miners are all at work, washing, drifting and running tunnels, and the frequent heavy explosions heard during the day tell the sappers are steadily pushing’ their work toward the hill. Water is plenty and ditches and reservoirs all full. The old Webster spelling book says that “dancing is good exercise.” Our citizens, then, met last night and took a little «good exercise.” Yours &e., Ex. Remove tHe Capitan !—If the following picture of Sacramento be correct, we entreat all friends of humanity to remove the capital without delay. Nevada has some valuable men in the Legislature which she is not ambitious of losing in the ooze of Sacramento. The mento Standard otight to tell the truth concerning its own town: A Davr Scnsect.—Can no outlet be provided for the water which makes our city a cluster of quagmires after every rainfall of two hours duration? Must we not only drink water that is half earth, but plant our feet upon earth that is half water? Is there no cunning mind that . can devise an equalizing scheme whereby the . Saerawater and dry land may cach have its own, and . we poor mortals be enabled to put each to its proper use? We are becoming amphibious; and . unseemly webs will connect the toes of our . great-grandchildren unless we purge the land of the tarns which beset us at every crossing. A spring shower, instead of refreshing, and purifying the air, scatters humidity into our mouths, and suggests toadstuols. If a night's rain comes to gladden the rest of mankind, the morning greets us with fen-sucked fogs and a dank smell . akin to newly dug earth. To walk the streets . at such a time is to thread one’s way around the edges of marshy bogs, and to think of the green scum which in a few short days will grect the eye. We livein Fenland. Pools with no ontlets environ us. We balance ourselves upon impromptu crossings perched high above the permanent ones, or skip from brick to brick which have bien laid down by some public spirited citizen at yard intervals, for the facilitating of pedestrianism. A cold moisture stands upon our brow as we write, for did it not rain o’ Friday ? Unless something be done to change the condition of things, mold will take hold of us before ourtime. Mildew will be used for trimming the garments of our women, and for pets they will beseech us to entrap fen-fowl. In fact we shall become water logged and par-boiled, unless what ? Why unless means be found and adopted for the proper conduct of water through sewers into the river. Errects oF RaiRroaps ox Property.—The Railroad Record, published ir Cincinnati, states . that, upon carefully examining the valuation of . property in a large number of the counties of Ohio, it finds that the increase in those having railroads is double the increase of those having no railroads; thus proving conclusively that a large part of the increase of the state is due to railroads only. Inquiring into the relative effect of the capital employed, on one hand, and of the increaso of capital, it obtains the following result : Increase of capital $450,000,000 Cost of roads 110,000,000 A precisely similar result is to be witnessed in Missouri. In 1850, when the railroad system in that State was commenced, the taxable property in the State was $98,505,000, which, for the sake of easy calculation, we will call $100,000,000. In 1860, the taxable property of the State amounts to at least $340,000,000. It has therefore inercased in ten years $250,000,000. Estimating the natural increase, not produced by railroads, at ten per cent per annum, this natural increase for ten years would amount to $100000,000; the remainder, $150,000,000, would be the increase due to the influence of the railroads. We would have then these figures: Cost of roads -~ $30,000,000 Value of increased wealth produced by them 150,000,000 Profit . 120,000,000 Rvssta.—The emancipation of the Russian serfs, which, by the recent enactments of the Government, during the next fifteen years, is one of the most important and enlightened measures which has emanated from any government fora long time. Of the sixty-one million inhabitants of the Empire, forty-eight millions belong to this class. They belong in nearly equal proportions to the crown and to individvidual proprictors; and though their different conditions admit of considerable diversity, the great body of them are to all intents and purposes little better than slaves. The Chinese method of taking off boots, is as follows; They place the brogan in a vice, and apply 2 yoke to the neck, worked by a wheel, which only stops working when the boots or head comes off. ‘ .

Tus ONLY Mountatn Roap in THs State.— A correspondent of the Sac. Bee, on the trail to Washoe via Placerville, writes from Strawberry Valley: By walking most of the way in mud up to the knees—28 miles up hill—and hanging to one side of the stage, to keep it from falling over, for the balance of the distance, they reached Strawberry Flat 22 miles from the summit, by dark on Monday night. Here they found a fine house—(there is only one in the place) a glorious fire of logs as big as a barrel, and some ninety men on the way to Washoe, half of whom arrived on foot with their packs on their backs. The hotel was crowded, but by 10 o’clock next morning sevehty started out to reach the summit—the snow was fourteen feet deep; these Sacramentans, having found good quarters, remained, as they deemed pritdetice the better part of valor. Before the cavaleade got out of sight of the hotel, the forethost mule swamped in a snow bank, and the rider went down out of sight, but soon beat his way to the surface again. They tried it once mote, and went on. At 4 o'clock in the evening, one of the party came back to the hotel, and stated that they had made about two ad a half intles by one on foot going ahead and feeling for the old trail with a shovel. About 10 o’clock six more returned, and stated that the party had made seven miles, all having to go on foot and lead the mules.— Still later, four more returned and gave the information that the whole party was completely used up, and had encamped, determined to try to make four miles the next day, which would bring them to another stopping place. But as their animals had nothing to eat, the four miles must be made, if man and beast could do it— else the mules would perish. It was supposed that they would have to shovel the whole distance, but our Sacramento friends determined to remain where they were until the trail should be opened.

THE NEVADA JOURNAL. FRIBAY MORNING, MARCH 234, 1860. Proexrssine.—The bill providing for calling for a Constitutional Convention, passed the Assembly last week with but few dissenting voices. We learn thata strong feeling in its favor prevails in the Senate and that inall probability the bill will be sub. mitted to Governot Downey for his approval . at no very distant day. Doubts as to the constitutionality of the hi Hl should it become alaw have been circulated by those opposed to calling a convention. It is alleged that the necessary vote o make the action of the people at the last . election on the constitutional question valid, has not been obtained at the office of the Seeretary of State, whereit is affirmed the only authoritative statistics to guide the. Legislature in the enactment of a law ealling a convention must be obtained. All information outside of that office is pronounced of no account. These objections do not seem to us valid. Ifthe number of votes cast for members of the Legislature at the last election must be determined exactly by the records in the office of the Secretary of State, before a convention act is passed, then the act must go by the board, for there is no way in the world under existing laws and regulations ty find it out. There is no provision in our . laws making it obligatory upon the judges and inspectors of elections to count, record a:l report the number of votes cast for membera of the Legislature. In counties where but two candidates for Legislative honors are running the number is easily determined ; but in counties like Nevada the number cannot b> known except by an actual count of all the ballots having legislative candidateson them. Nevada elects annually six membe-« of the Legislature.— Sometimes there as many as cighteen men running and voted for. The vote for no three individuals in the list could be said . to make the exact number of votes cast in . the county for members of the Legislature. The three highest, nor t' e three lowest, nor amean between all the votes, would give . the accurate number. The counties not having had the ballots counted which had onthem the names of candidates for the Legis'ature, the information required cannot be reported to the Secretary of State’s office, and the Legis!ature can obtain no accurate knowledge in that office to determine whether the convention question carried before the people. Inthe absence of any law requiring the Legislature to be governed by the records in the Secretary of State’s office In this matter,and in view of the want of accurate information to be obtained there touching this question, it is incumbent upom the Legislature to go outside of that office for the satisfactory information desired. And if the two Houses are satisfied that a majority of the votes cast at the last clection for members of the Legislature were in favor of a Constitutional Convention, we believe they are authorized and required to . pass an act calling said Convention. Tue woxver Expiarxep.—It is sagely suggested that the extraordinary high prices of claims just now at Washoe is owing to the Jate arrival of Dr. R. T. Huddart the fifth time from England. The Doctor having an unlimited command of capital, it is supposed that after having started that line of steamvhips from Liverpool to San Francisco he went to Great Britain tomake arrangements for, he had a few million pounds left for Washoe investment. The prospect of English capital flowing into the country on the other side of the mountains, is probably the cause of claims walking up at so rapida pace. Wecongratulate our friends in Washoe The Bulkhead. Dear or Gov. Boges.—Lilburn W. Boggs, Latterly we have been deluged with docuformerly Governor of Missouri, died at his ments fromSan Francisco relative to the pro. residence in Napa Valley, on the 14th inst. ject of building a sea wall around that city. . aged 63 years. Every day these indignant proclamations of Governor Boggs was a native of Kentucky, the people of the queen city of the Pacific . and emigrated to Missouri in 1816, from come pouring in upon us thicker and faster. . thence coming to California in 1846, In There must be some cause for these num-! the war of the expulsion of the Mormons berless petitions to the press of the State. . from Missouri, Gov.

He occupied a scat in the Constitutional substance of the impressions received by &. Convention of this State, and has also servfirst perusal. edinthe State Legislature. The wife of . } The facts are substantially, that the people of San Francisco and of the State are divided in opinion ag to the necessity of building a bulkhead orsea-wall around the city front of San Francisco. On the one hand itis alleged that the wooden walls behind which the sand and dirt from the hills have been thrown to fill up water lots are decaying and giving way, allowing the sand to wash into the harbor to the serious injury of navigation, and the longer this state of things is permitted the more . the evil increases, and that unless checked in time the harbor is liable to be ruined, or, at least, the cost of reclaiming it is many fold increased by the delay. It is also alleged that the present city front not being on those lines which a scientific knowledge of the tidal currents would establish, the channel navigated by vessels is subject in places to the deposites of eddies which are rapidly impairing the passage for ships of . heavy draught. Taking advantage of these arguments, a company of men are pressing the Legislature to pass an act giving to them a right to build a sea-wall five miles in length, one hundred and ten feet wide on . the bottom and elevated above high tide.— They ask the donation of all lands on which . said wallis to be built, estimated at the present value at some five millions of dollars. Besides this, a perpetual monopoly of wharfage &c, is asked for by the compa. ny. On the other handit is claimed, by a portion of those opposed to the Parsons bill now before the Legislature, that there is no necessity existing at the present time of constructing a sea wall at all, and in support of their position on this point the testimony of Major Bache, of the U. S. Topographical Engineers, Prof. Davidson, of the Coast Survey, and Captains Gilmer and Alden, scientific employees of the Government on this coast, is adduced going to show . there is no imminent necessity of a sea wall around the front of SanFrancisco. The au. thority is strong and not to be overlooked . by fair minded men. To such men of science and experience should this important question on which the destiny of San Francisco and the State is measurably involved, submitted and by them decided. Another portion of the opposers of the Parsons bill . . are impressed with the conviction that a Bulkhead is necessary, but are utterly op. posed to placing the City and State under . the blighting dictation of a soulless monopoly which they insist the Parsons bill . if enacted would create. They would have a . wal! constructed, but not until a commission . of scientific men had determined where and how it should be done. They aver that it should be built so asto be free from exorbitant exactions, and so as to foster com-} merce rather than hamper it, and to redound to the good of the whole State. Our readers far removed from the center of .xcitement where this great question is upon their good fortuncin having attracted the attention of the great representative of ten million-airs. While we are on this subject we may as well notice another rumor, which we are inclined to think absurd, that the Doctor has come out with pleniary powers to sell the Thames tunnel to Washoe men to becut up into smaller ones for their claims. By this means the Doctor proposes to obtain ore enough to load the Great Eastern which he has purchased for one of the vessels in his line. Insane Asyium.—From the statistics furnished the Stockton Democrat by the clerk of the Asylum for the Insane, it appears, that insanity is on the decline compared with the three months ending Dec.1, 1859. The statement concerning the number of patients made insane by spirita~ alism, which has been going the rounds is exaggerated. There are but four persons in the Asylum from that cause, while from religious excitement three have been admitted since Dec. 2.t. N. P. Willis, in his play of “Tortesa, the Usurer,” makes one of his characters say that, “Eversince the flood, water has had the taste of sit nere,” therefore he preferred wine. He probably obtained this droll idea from a German poet, whose lines are translated thus: “Then to the Lord old Noah said, The water now tastes very bad ; Because there have been drowned therein All beasts and mankind in their sin— Tis therefore, Lord, I ever think, I would prefer some other drink.” “ Ocronoos.” Dion Bourcicault having had his work called “ Octoroon, or Plantation life in Louisiana” attacked by the press of New York, withdrcw it from the stage and sent it to the Governor of Louisiana dedicating it to his Excellency. Iscenprarny.—The New York Herald published the speech in full of George Sennott, in defense of Stevens, one of the Harper’s Ferry inurgents, If that speech isevercirculated South in the Herald, the chivalry may well say that paper is incendiary, J&P The Grass Valley National says a very estimable young lady of that place, was severely Injured afew days since by receiving a kick in the forepart of the back from a vicious cow she attempted to milk. We learn that the National man js slowly recovering. Resicyepv.—Harry I, Thornton, has resigned the office of District Attorney of Sierra county, and Mr, Alex. W. Baldwin has been promoted to the vacancy. Mr. Thornton retires with a reputation for ability and honorable purpose unfarnished. Hop Curturge.—It is gratifying to learn that 9 great many persons have become interested in Lop growing this year. Several acres have al3e1dy been planted in the State. A stone from the tomb of the great Napoleon bas been obtained at St. Helena by the Americau Coneul for the Washington Mouument. _ I' wil] receive ax appropriate inscription. * warmly discussed are apt to think themselves not interested. They should be assured it is one of the most important questions ever presented for the consideration of the people of California. The harbor of San Francisco is the most priceless gift of God to this country. Before all the mineral wealth of the State, it is most invaluable. That bay and that harbor should be the pride of every true Californian—we may We of the mountains have a vital interest in that imperial harbor, where yet may float the argosies of half the world. While selfish cabals are struggling say, every American. to impair the inheritance which gracious nature has bestowed upon us all, the patriotic voice from the uncorrupted mountains should be heard above the tumult saying, “avaunt ye workers of iniquity.” We trust that our representatives will be held to a strict account for the manner in which they shall discharge the sacred obligations resting upon them in the disposition of this question. The voice of San Francisco should befreely consulted. That city is doubly interested. Neither jealousy or revenge must influence the conduct of Governor Boggs is a grand-daughter of Daniel Boone, the pioneer of Kentucky. Ecective PosrMasters.—Mr. Morris of Illinois, has made a move in the House of Representatives, looking to the election of Postmasters by the people. it. Elective postmasters would be incompatible with the safe management of our postal system. There must be some corrective power lodged at the central office to remove dishonest or incompetent agents.— The people have no means of knowing whether their immediate postmasters is doing business in a proper manner, and if they did, in many cases would not be likely to right ® wrong soon enough. It is true, miserable officers at the seat of government, in whom the appointing power is lodged, often create and continue grossly incompetent and unworthy agents, but the fault is in the people after all that they allow such men appointing power. The evils thus engendered are, however, less than would arise from elective postmasters, Lear Yran.—The year 1860 is “leap year” and consists of 366 days. The neeessity Of leap year arises from the fact that by exact calculation the earth makes a revolution round the sun in 365 days, five hours, forty minutes and 58 seconds, or very nearly six hours more than what is called a civil year. One day of twentyfour hours is consequently added every fourth year to make the year commence when the sun is at the same point in the Zodiac as near as may be. It will be seen, however, that an intercalation of one day in four years is a trifle too It is provided that every year the number of which much, amounting in 158} years to one day. is divisable by four without a remainder is a leap year, except the last year of the century. PresipentiAL Veto.—The President has vetoed the bill passed by both Houses of Congress, making an appropriation for deepening the channel over the St. Clair flats. The commerce passing over these flats annually is estimated at $600,060,000. That veto sinks the Buchanan party of the North-west so deep in the mud that Old Cass, if he had the spirit of a man, should resign when such an indignity is offered to his State. not a bubble will ever rise to the surface. Marysvitie Exection.—The charter election of Marysville came off on Monday last.— The Express is mortified to have to confess that that gallant Democrat Levi Hite has been defeated forthe Mayorality. Also several other officers. The Express charges the Republicans with doing the nefarious deed. There is a middle-aged lady who takes her sewing, goes into the Maine House of Representatives, seats herself in the area in front of the Speaker, and indulges in occasional responses to the speeches of the members, according to her eaprice. Fuserst. Onation—Broperick.—We have received from Hon. J. C. McKibben, to whom we are greatly inde bted for it, an elegant pamphlet copy of the funeral Oration of John W. Dwinelle, delivered at the obsequies of Broderick in New York. It is an eloquent oration. _ W. Governor Weller says he has no choice for the Presidency now. His first choice was Senator Rusk and he committed suicide. Was his attachment to Rusk because of a fellow feeling? ConsoLipatep.—Tne Pacific Mail Steamship Company and Commodore Vanderbildt have consolidated. The Commodore takes the steamers on the Atlantic side. The effect has been to raise the price of passage considerably. Professor Whitney will probably be appointed . State Geologist under the new law creating the office. He comes highly recommended by such savans as Agassiz, Duna, Silliman end Hitchcock. Senator Haun has introduced into the Senate a resolution inquiring into the expediency of granting the proceeds of the New Almaden mines for the construction of the Pacific Railroad. A luminous idea, truly. Usiversatism.—The Editor of the “ Star of the Pacific,” will preach at the Court House, on Sunday, the Ist day of April, at 11 o’clock, A. M. Allare respectfully invited to attend. ANOTHER ALLISON Leap.—The Ish claim, in Jacksonville, Oregon, is reported to be fully equal to any on the coast for richness. From $6,000 one representative in the discussion of this question. His aims should be sanctified with the spirit of patriotism when the vital interests of San Francisco and the State come up for his final judgment. Baroy Lrenie, the renowned professor of Agricultural Chemistry, has written a letter to the London Times on the subject of sewers in cities to $10,000.a day is-thepay. It is devil-Jeh rich. The Sacramento Union entered upon its tenth year and nineteenth volume on Monday. It is probably equal to any newspaper on the continent for news.

Electricity was first introduced into the medi+ cal practice about a century ago, being an absolute novelty in the healing arts, the proper mode of employing it could only be aseertained by combining the study of its nature and properties with repeated experiments, and these experiments were conducted by Professors, Medical and Nonmedical of all nations. The study became so fascinating and new discoveries daily developed themselves whose results foreshadowed that when improvements should be made in the machines, 80 as to concentrate the power to be obtained by the electric fluid, it would make electricity not alone usefulin medicine but of incalculable value to the Mechanical Arts. All the numefous Philosophieal and Chemical works, magazines, etc., emanating from tho seientific socicties in France, Germany and England, published innumerable papers on the interesting discoveries. Attached to these communications we find the names of Brugnatelli, Fourcroy, Vauguelin, Thenard, and Van Mons, of France; Betzelius, Roslz, Bettger, Erdmann, Ivanberg, and a.host of others in Germany; while England likewise had all her great men in the arena of science. The excitement produced, continued. new machines of various forms were constructed and new methods of application was tried, to reduce medical treatment by electricity, to a regular system, but till about the year 1800, when Professor Volta, who having spent the greater part of hislife in study of this science, completed an instrament which by combination and arrangement of a number of metalic plates, he obtained the long desired object by being able to concentrate the electric fluid, by which meatis it could be better applied to the human body, and so Galyanism was ittroduced. In compliment to the Professor, his instrument was named after him, and that name will be honored by gencrations still unborn. The Voltaic Pile was, is and will continue to be, the model, based on which every apparatus applicable for the transmission of the electric fluid, when used to assist medieine in the curative art, will be formed. Those who undertook to introduce Galvanism at frrst had to encounter an immense amount of prejudice, which was but too much justified by the nutberless instances of abusive application of the remedy now first introduced by the scientifie medical practitioners. And thus, Mr, Editor, L shall conclude my Second Paper. Truly Yours, L. L. Oxeca, Marcu 17th, 1860. Ep. Jourxat:—We have had dreary, imisty, rainy weather for a few days past, but to-day is clear and we hope the stormis over. (nthe 15th a slight shock of an errthquake was felt . here. The vibrations were sufficiently strong to rattle dishes the table and to set clothes hung on the wall to swinging. It was noticed in the diggings that the water ranning over the bank was shaken and fell in broIts course on ken fragments instead of a stream. seemed from N. E. to S. W. and lasted but a few seconds. Miners are all at work, washing, drifting and running tunnels, and the frequent heavy explosions heard during the day tell the sappers are steadily pushing’ their work toward the hill. Water is plenty and ditches and reservoirs all full. The old Webster spelling book says that “dancing is good exercise.” Our citizens, then, met last night and took a little «good exercise.” Yours &e., Ex. Remove tHe Capitan !—If the following picture of Sacramento be correct, we entreat all friends of humanity to remove the capital without delay. Nevada has some valuable men in the Legislature which she is not ambitious of losing in the ooze of Sacramento. The mento Standard otight to tell the truth concerning its own town: A Davr Scnsect.—Can no outlet be provided for the water which makes our city a cluster of quagmires after every rainfall of two hours duration? Must we not only drink water that is half earth, but plant our feet upon earth that is half water? Is there no cunning mind that . can devise an equalizing scheme whereby the . Saerawater and dry land may cach have its own, and . we poor mortals be enabled to put each to its proper use? We are becoming amphibious; and . unseemly webs will connect the toes of our . great-grandchildren unless we purge the land of the tarns which beset us at every crossing. A spring shower, instead of refreshing, and purifying the air, scatters humidity into our mouths, and suggests toadstuols. If a night's rain comes to gladden the rest of mankind, the morning greets us with fen-sucked fogs and a dank smell . akin to newly dug earth. To walk the streets . at such a time is to thread one’s way around the edges of marshy bogs, and to think of the green scum which in a few short days will grect the eye. We livein Fenland. Pools with no ontlets environ us. We balance ourselves upon impromptu crossings perched high above the permanent ones, or skip from brick to brick which have bien laid down by some public spirited citizen at yard intervals, for the facilitating of pedestrianism. A cold moisture stands upon our brow as we write, for did it not rain o’ Friday ? Unless something be done to change the condition of things, mold will take hold of us before ourtime. Mildew will be used for trimming the garments of our women, and for pets they will beseech us to entrap fen-fowl. In fact we shall become water logged and par-boiled, unless what ? Why unless means be found and adopted for the proper conduct of water through sewers into the river. Errects oF RaiRroaps ox Property.—The Railroad Record, published ir Cincinnati, states . that, upon carefully examining the valuation of . property in a large number of the counties of Ohio, it finds that the increase in those having railroads is double the increase of those having no railroads; thus proving conclusively that a large part of the increase of the state is due to railroads only. Inquiring into the relative effect of the capital employed, on one hand, and of the increaso of capital, it obtains the following result : Increase of capital $450,000,000 Cost of roads 110,000,000 A precisely similar result is to be witnessed in Missouri. In 1850, when the railroad system in that State was commenced, the taxable property in the State was $98,505,000, which, for the sake of easy calculation, we will call $100,000,000. In 1860, the taxable property of the State amounts to at least $340,000,000. It has therefore inercased in ten years $250,000,000. Estimating the natural increase, not produced by railroads, at ten per cent per annum, this natural increase for ten years would amount to $100000,000; the remainder, $150,000,000, would be the increase due to the influence of the railroads. We would have then these figures: Cost of roads -~ $30,000,000 Value of increased wealth produced by them 150,000,000 Profit . 120,000,000 Rvssta.—The emancipation of the Russian serfs, which, by the recent enactments of the Government, during the next fifteen years, is one of the most important and enlightened measures which has emanated from any government fora long time. Of the sixty-one million inhabitants of the Empire, forty-eight millions belong to this class. They belong in nearly equal proportions to the crown and to individvidual proprictors; and though their different conditions admit of considerable diversity, the great body of them are to all intents and purposes little better than slaves. The Chinese method of taking off boots, is as follows; They place the brogan in a vice, and apply 2 yoke to the neck, worked by a wheel, which only stops working when the boots or head comes off. ‘ . Tt appears from an announcement made in the Ledger, that the immortal Bonner, the Nap»leon of advertising, has been sick and is well. Let the world take a “blow.” A dog named ‘Gipsy’ swallowed a quarter of a dollar and threw it up at the expiration of three weeks. It turned out to be a bad one, which accounta for its not passing.—Exchange. Spow-rious coin—ch?— Sierra Democrat. District Cotrt.

Tus ONLY Mountatn Roap in THs State.— A correspondent of the Sac. Bee, on the trail to Washoe via Placerville, writes from Strawberry Valley: By walking most of the way in mud up to the knees—28 miles up hill—and hanging to one side of the stage, to keep it from falling over, for the balance of the distance, they reached Strawberry Flat 22 miles from the summit, by dark on Monday night. Here they found a fine house—(there is only one in the place) a glorious fire of logs as big as a barrel, and some ninety men on the way to Washoe, half of whom arrived on foot with their packs on their backs. The hotel was crowded, but by 10 o’clock next morning sevehty started out to reach the summit—the snow was fourteen feet deep; these Sacramentans, having found good quarters, remained, as they deemed pritdetice the better part of valor. Before the cavaleade got out of sight of the hotel, the forethost mule swamped in a snow bank, and the rider went down out of sight, but soon beat his way to the surface again. They tried it once mote, and went on. At 4 o'clock in the evening, one of the party came back to the hotel, and stated that they had made about two ad a half intles by one on foot going ahead and feeling for the old trail with a shovel. About 10 o’clock six more returned, and stated that the party had made seven miles, all having to go on foot and lead the mules.— Still later, four more returned and gave the information that the whole party was completely used up, and had encamped, determined to try to make four miles the next day, which would bring them to another stopping place. But as their animals had nothing to eat, the four miles must be made, if man and beast could do it— else the mules would perish. It was supposed that they would have to shovel the whole distance, but our Sacramento friends determined to remain where they were until the trail should be opened.
