Nothing gives us so much pain as to intimate to our It is like palling eye Particularly since patrons we are in want of money. teeth with a pair of bullet molds. flames made such sad havoc have we been sensitive But stern necessity sometimes drives the the and lenient. most modest to the commission ofan act at which his nature revolts. We are forced to hint inthe gentlest manner, that a slight sprinkling of pewter would be acceptable. Appreciating fully from our own feelings and expeience the effects of the climate upon the constitutional lassitude of the indebted, we, in the same spirit of iniulgence which has characterized us heretofore, have, onstituted and appointed Mr. Wa. G. Rosents our agent tocall upon our patrons for the little that is due us. The sums in our favor are small individually, but collecively they will help us at the present time greatly.— We trust there will be mutual pleasure in the meeting NEW VOLUME. Six years have passed, (six years is a long time in the history of our state) . since the first copy of the Nevada Journal was given to the breeze of, what has proven to be, public favor, and with this number commences the seventh Volume. During the long intercourse we have had with the public there is much that The efforts of the proprietors and editors to make the Journal a good and reliable newspaper, have been more than seconded by our patrons and the public. Of nothing can we loudly complain. Our relations with the advertising and reading world are, and have been, of the most flattering and pleasing character. The Journal has with the growth of the community in which its It . has prospered as the people prospered, . is pleasing, little to regret. grown lot has been not unhappily cast. and suffered with them in their caiamity. To the old pioneers of the city it is knit by the bond of common prosperity and common misfortune, and to every later comer by the ties of common weal. That the Journal has ever been other than a fearless sheet, true to the cause it espoused, honest in its convictions, and obeying no other but the dictates of conscience, we believe no evidence exists, if such is not acknowledged. At least, its present conductors can look upon the pase with no very serious misgivings. ‘The independence which has characterized us in the past, will not suffer in the future, and all the efforts we can put forth to gratify our patrons and eaders will be cheerfully and untiringy expended. A readable and sound conservative sheet, the Journal is deiened to be. In short, the future will iot diserace the past Mining News.—From all paris of the county we learn the most cheering Ihe miners seem to be in high . every where.

Eureka turns out gloriously — plenty of water and the mineral corresponds. At Alpha the miners are making fortunes. Our information is to the effect that none working in that locality go anrewarded. Omega is paying better than ever before. Some of its productions are ‘heavy lumps.” Two pieces, one 64, the other 8 ozs., were shown us a day or two since Good reports come from Gold Hill. Cherokee turns out the yellow ore bravely, and French Corral is not behind hand From Red Dog the news is flattering, and the vicinity round about is giving . forth daily evident signs of inexhaustible wealth. Brush and Rock Creeks still compete with any of the more puffed diggings, and seem destined to hold their own to the last click of time All the little mining camps are lively —why this city is not so we will try to tell some other time. Musica Convenrion.—There was a good turn-out at the Musical Convention on Saturday evening last, at the Court House. The hall and gallery were both filled, as far the comfort of the assemblage would allow. The singing was conducted with spirit, and went off well —not a blunder marring the oceasion. That the varied exercises should all have been performed with perfect accuracy, where so many partieipated who have but recently engaged in the art, is not to be expected; but the general expression of opinion was that they went off better than could reasonably have been anticipated. The association adjourned to meet again at Grass Valley on the first Saturday in June, but by request of the Grass Valley delegation, it was changed to Monday, June ist, in the afternoon and evening. A growing interest is manifested in this matter, and we doubt not the next session will be one of the ynost interesting occasions of the season. Norurtous.—A. ©. Niles, Esqr., has been appointed Notary Publis for this -otuty by the Governor, under the new jaw. Ths Judge will keep, the great seal of his office in this city. Duliness. «Times are dull.” This fact can be seen in our streets any day, however, not much more plainly exhibited here, perbaps, than any old town of considerable size in the State. was, if possible, the dullest day within the memory of the oldest inhabitant.— Wednesdays are always dull. causes contribute to this effeet, The Democrat is given to an indulgent public . on Wednesdays. The “responsible” article in the last number did the work for us—killed business as dead as a herring. The Democrat is good at figures. Ciphering out stolen sums from a Treasury made plethoric by loco foco rule, by thieving know nothings is just its hand. We took occasion last week to pay the Shasta Courier in its own coin, by fastening a portion of the mal-administration of the government where it properly belongs, at the same time saying nothing in estenuation of the errors of any administratoion of the government. The Democrat takes up the cudgel for the man in a higher northern latitude. It was’nt our neighbor’s fight, and he had better staid out. now, to show up the utter falsity of the “responsible” article in the Democrat. In the first place, the Know Nothing Legislature of 1856 saved, by an accurate estimate of Controller Whitman published last fall, over the preceding Legislature, the sum of $288,000. The doctrine of the loco focos has been “to the victors belong the spoils.” If by any acts of self denial the know nothings sueceeded in saving that sum, gaining a victory over temptation, it belonged to them by virtue of Democratic principles, and if a dollar less than the sum they saved was left to the State, it should stand to their credit—no previous administration having left a farthing unfilehed. That “outrageous State Prison Contract”? comes up again. Strange that the dear school of experience has not taught even the Democrat to let that subject alone. Who passed that “outThe “immortal seventeen” who defeated the election of U.S. Senator could have strangled the monster as easily as they did the hopes of Foote. Did they do so? No. Of the nineteen in the Senate who voted for that act, thirteen are Democrats and one (Flint) Republican, though an acknowledged Democrat at the time the great iniquity was practised. Burton (Whig) voted against the bill, leaving but four Simon pure Americans to be engaged in the “ outrageous ”’ measure. That John Bigler awarded a contract to Vassault for over a million dollars is rageous”” act? patent and no one but the Democrat . man has the hardihood to deny it.— Again the statement that the warrants drawn by Controller Bell have never been paid, is not true to the extent intended by our neighbor. Sixty thousand dollars of those warrants were paid in cash, before a Know Nothing Legis. . lature could assemble to cancel the re/mainder, about $125,000, which was saved to State, and not included in the $288,000 before mentioned. cancelled warrants should be paid, the expense of the State Prison under Bigler’s control was less than the Know Nothing Legislature contracted to pay Estell the winter following. Oh! double extract of ashes! The enormous sum of one hundred eighty-five thousand seven hundred and seventy-one dollars and ninety-seven cents, will be foun] in the Registry book in the office of the State Treasury, to have been drawn in warrants on account of the State Prison, between the 9th day of July and the 5th day of December, 1855, and all the claims were not then presented. Now we will indulge the figuring propensities of the Democrat to its bent to discover how much this amounts to per month. We stated it at a guess, in our last to be 836,000, Another thousand and a trifle more should be added to our estimate. Deducting the amount said to have been expended in State Prison walls, and without taking into consideration claims unaudited at the time, and the monthly sum paid by the State for the support of the Prison while under the control of John Bigler, exceeds by far $10,000 per month, the sum allowed Esiell. But if that contract was an outrageous one, why did not the “immortal seventeen” add another claim to immortality by killing it manfully and ontright, and, again, why did not the Locofoco Legislature just Cispersed annul that outrageous contract, and save the State seven thousand dollars per month for four years or more? There was a chance of even purchasing that contract and saving to the people sixty thousand dollars ayear. If the Know Nothings committed that ~ outrageous ” wrong, which they did not, why did not the Democracy repair it as far as lay in their power ? Times must be dull, indeed. to drive even the Democrat to such a subject for an article. AccIDENT.—A bank fell in at Alpha on the 9th inst., severely injuring a miner named John Troy. He was badly brujsed about the bowels, and face slightly. He died of his injuries the next day. Local i We intend . GUBERNATORIAL Prospects.— The all absorbing question among among quidnunes is, Who'll be Governor? It i3 pretty generally conceded that Col. ; . Baker will be forced by the Republicans Wednesday to take up the cross for their sake. An excellent stumper, he will make the canvass no child’s play to his opponents if they travel and attempt to cope with him in oratory. A foreigner by birth, it is confidently expected he will alienate a portion of that vote from the De mocracy. A western man, and a large share of our population coming from the west and north, it would not bea f.rced supposition that hundreds of old friends and acquaintances without distinction of party,will vote for him. A gallant soldier on the fields of Mexico, the participators in those conflicts of arms, may be expected to remember a brave man at the ballot box. Such are Col. Baker’s omens of success. On the other hand he will contend with a well disciplined foe, inspirited A noted warrior has said, the nearer the common soldier comes to a machine, the better for The Democratic party would fill that warrior’s eye. Its members fall in at the tap of the drum, and are drilled by well appointed leaders to step to whatever tune they order played. Right or wrong, their victorious colors advance, and rarely can a Spartan band be found to check their career. Col. Baker, an adept in political as well as other warfare may harass them terribly, but it is much like a forlorn hope to lead any cohort against the all-conquering legions of Democracy. Much, however, depends upon the leader chosen by the dominant party. Weller, Denver, McCorkle, Norman, and a dozen others, are candidates, either of their friends’ or of thsir own accord. The qualifications of these respectively, to bear the standard of their party, are well known, and need no exposition — Neither of them can compete with Col with a thousand victories. success. Baker upon the stump, or perhaps anywhere else, but before the stubborn elements of the Democratic party, who will strike but not listen. Again, as things shape themselves daily, there is likely to be a Guerrilla clan under the command of the subaltern of Jefferson from Calavaras, Col. Watkins. An Ishmaelite by principle, practice and experience, his hand will be against every party and every party against him. His Democracy is of that old kind taught by the fathers of the party, transmitted through him to this new fangled, interpolating age, to contrast purity with degeneracy. The unswerving Democracy of Col. Watkins for sixty years, his experience in the art of government, his implacable hostility to the venality and corruption which sometimes fester in high places, and his open declamations in favor of the peopie’s rights, will commend his claims to thousands who would otherwise vote tlie . Democratic ticket. Age bas, however, made ravages upon the intellect of Col. . Watkins, and his old fogy notions will not suit the fast ideas of Young America . He is not ambitious of the position, and, The Democrat says, even if these . we presume, if Col. Welleris the nominee of the Democracy of the State, the known friendship of the styled Nestor of California Legislatures for Weller, will impel him to peremptorily decline being the people’s candidate, much as he may profess to be devoted to the dear ones interests, and subservient to nothing but their wishes. We have written thus far on a question which, next to the comet, is agitating the public mind most, but the only answer to who'll be Governer, is quien sabe? Theatre. Tae PENNSYLVANIANS.—This troupe which has lately made its advent into the State, appeared at Frisbie’s Theatre, on Saturday and Monday nights last. Good audiences greeted them on both occasions, on the latter night the house being full. A respectable number of ladies were present, and to say that the entire audience were pleased with the entertainmert, is not transcending the truth. The Misses Mandeville have sweet voices, but not the compass and power desirable to execute some particular pieces. Neither of them is a Jenny Lind, or Kate Hayes, though their music is better adapted to the appreciation of nine-tenths of the people, than that of either of the Queens of Song. At least, we confess, it comes within the range of our tastes, while more artificial efforts fail to please. But Jounson is the Star of the Peunsylvanians, and would be a Star any7 His equal we have never seen as a comic vocalist and actor. He kepi the theatre in a continual roar. The audience were delighted, calling him out again and again, and seemed dispowhere. sed to test the inexhaustable fund of originality and humor which Johnson evidently possesses. the curtain he came out and said he was highly gratified with the reception given him by the aucienee “and so was Mrs. Johnson.” The troupe left for Grass Valley on Tuesday, promising to accede to the request of many of our citizens, and return in a few weeks at farthest, when we bespeak for the Pennsylvanians a crowded house. a tn ott ern AS NA On the drop of Immigration. A project is on foot to establish a line of mammoth ocean Steamers to run on the Pacific and Atlantie side, between New York and San Franciseo. A company has been organized and the object and ends to be acecmplished by the undertaking are set forth in a pamphlet circulating about the country. It is proposed to fix the capital of the company at one million dollars, to be divided into four thousand shates at two hundred and fifty dollars each. The bolder of a share is to be entitled to a second class ticket anuually. Three shares will entitle the holder to a first class passage. ‘The project already numbers many subscribers, and bids fair to gain many more. The inducements held out are plauseble to say the least. The Steamers on both sides are to be of the same construction, and the passenger to be entitled to the corresponding room in both vessels. Superior accommodations are contemplated, speed increased and fare reduced, besides a spirit of revenge may be gratified towards the exorbitant Pacific Mail Steamship Company.— The enterprise is a good one, not to the holders of the stock, but to the traveling public. No large company of this kind can make a line of Steamers, such as proposed, remunerative, Too many will be interested, the company will be unwieldy, and individual responsibilities and risks too light. Or, at least, the experiment, if it suceeeds, will be among the very first that has so resulted. A small company under the guidance of one master spirit sneceeds best in any great enterprise, . : : Che project we conclude will not pay the holders of one, two or five shares — . . beeves There is too great a temptation to one sharp individual near the fountain head of power, to so manage the concern as. to make tne stock of little value, in order ultimately to purchase it in at a small price. This game has been often practised and nas become patent to dealers in stocks. But the great object of the building a line of Steamers, will in a great measure be accomplished whatever fate may befal the original patrons of the concern. The Steamers will live, probably, and float ; they will go to and fro upon the Oceans freighted with human life; they will, monopoly company now in the heyday of prosperity, run in opposition to the other line, cheapening freight and passage greatly to the benefit of not only this State, but many others. great desideratum. this State can afford to never directly returned to them for the investment. Their other interests will be benefited more than enough to repair the loss. with the expectation of realizing a dollar profit from it is taking worse than a young gambleas chance witha gray faro dealer.

Cauirornia Srate Recister.—The prospectus of a new paper to be started by Parker H. French, and devoted to the Free Soil Republican interest, is announced. The paper is to be published at Sacramento, but when the first number is to be given the public we have not yet learned. As the Republicans have no avowed organ in this State, spite of Col. French’s antecedents, it will doubtless receive a good support. New Bonv.—Ex-Treasurer Bates has been compelled to file a new bond with the following sureties: W. B. Rochester, $/ ,0°0; M. G. Reed, $20,000; F. R. Bunker, $12,000; J. M. Rhodes, $2,500 ; making altogether but $38,500 —an inconsiderable sum for the money Dr. Bates has lost the State. Not RerormMev.—The Coloma Argus, reports among the list of prisoners escaped from the Coloma Jail at the late delivery, the name of Hall, who was formerly uncer sentence of death in this county for shooting a Chinaman. Powerful influence succeeded in obtaining for the condemned the clemency of the executive. This is another case where the pardoning power has been misapplied, not the only one, however. where criminals in this county have been the unworthy recipients of the mercy of the Governor. Marsie.—aA fine slab of blue variegated marble, from the quarry of Mr. Darst. on the South Yuba, near Illinois Bar, can be seen at the store of Mr. Keeney, Commercial street. The stone has a slight fracture, not, however, to weaken it or prevent a fine polish ; it is rather dark, but we regard the quarry of Mr. Darst as one of the most yaluable resources of the country.

The Steamer Senator evening from San Diego and intermedi. The San Diezo Herald of . 1¢th April publishes the following nar. ate points. ration of the destruction of Crabt’s party in Senora, furnished by a gentleman just arrived from Fort Yuma: Late in March Crabb’s party left Sonora and marched to Cavara,a small Mexican town near Point Lobos on the Gulf of California. The first intention was to have proceeded to Altar. news cf :ts partial fortification and susceptability of a strong defence caused . the diversion on Cavara. On the morning of the Ist of April, the party of Americans entered the suburbs of the town.— They were met by a party of Mexican . It was to troops commanded by Roderiguez. is said Roderiguez’s purpose speak to Crabb when the Americans opened fire and killed the Mexican Commander and several others. The Mexicans immediately retreated, some tothe but the majority to the church which had been placed in a state of mountains, defence, and had at the time Crabb entered the town a number of roasting in front of it, to feed the Mexican troops. It appears that here occurred Crabb’s first and fatal mistake—instead at once charging and taking the church which would have given him the town, he occupied several houses in the corner of the plaza in front of the church. first deserted the gradually being The Mexicans at most of the town, but emboldened returned Americans in.

On the Sth day an attempt was made by two of Crabb’s men to blow up the : . church by placing a keg of powder un.

Worn out with constant fighting, exposure and anxiety, famished by probably days of starvation and thirst, and with. out ammunition, H. A. Crabb ani fifty. eight men marched out of the burning house with a white flag before them, laid down their arms and surrendered, it is supposed, unconditionally. This was in the night or towards morning. They were immediately tied, their hands behind them, and taken to a corral near . the Alcalde’s otfice, where they were taken out in squads of five and ten each and shot. In the first execution it was found that the calmness of the Americans discomposed the executioneors aud they shot too high or too Jow in many . cases, only wonnding their vietims, the backs of the fated men were then turned to the troops and then they succeeded in aiming with better effect. McCoun, (may he rest in peace,) owing to his great stature, was saved this torture; a ball struck him full in the breast at the first fire and he fell dead. Crabb alone was reserved for a solitary death: He was taken to the Alcalde’s office, questioned, allowed to write a letter to his wife, and to have an interview with a Dr. Erares, a physician in the hands of the Mexicans— who had been weeks on suspicion. The hour for his execution having arrived, he was led out, his hand stretched above his head. He was taken and tied to a post in front of the building he had occupied, his face to the post and his back to the execationers. At the command fre, at least 100 balls were fired into his body, . and all that was mortal of Henry A. Crabb, hung dead and bleeding by his . tied hands.

Nothing gives us so much pain as to intimate to our It is like palling eye Particularly since patrons we are in want of money. teeth with a pair of bullet molds. flames made such sad havoc have we been sensitive But stern necessity sometimes drives the the and lenient. most modest to the commission ofan act at which his nature revolts. We are forced to hint inthe gentlest manner, that a slight sprinkling of pewter would be acceptable. Appreciating fully from our own feelings and expeience the effects of the climate upon the constitutional lassitude of the indebted, we, in the same spirit of iniulgence which has characterized us heretofore, have, onstituted and appointed Mr. Wa. G. Rosents our agent tocall upon our patrons for the little that is due us. The sums in our favor are small individually, but collecively they will help us at the present time greatly.— We trust there will be mutual pleasure in the meeting NEW VOLUME. Six years have passed, (six years is a long time in the history of our state) . since the first copy of the Nevada Journal was given to the breeze of, what has proven to be, public favor, and with this number commences the seventh Volume. During the long intercourse we have had with the public there is much that The efforts of the proprietors and editors to make the Journal a good and reliable newspaper, have been more than seconded by our patrons and the public. Of nothing can we loudly complain. Our relations with the advertising and reading world are, and have been, of the most flattering and pleasing character. The Journal has with the growth of the community in which its It . has prospered as the people prospered, . is pleasing, little to regret. grown lot has been not unhappily cast. and suffered with them in their caiamity. To the old pioneers of the city it is knit by the bond of common prosperity and common misfortune, and to every later comer by the ties of common weal. That the Journal has ever been other than a fearless sheet, true to the cause it espoused, honest in its convictions, and obeying no other but the dictates of conscience, we believe no evidence exists, if such is not acknowledged. At least, its present conductors can look upon the pase with no very serious misgivings. ‘The independence which has characterized us in the past, will not suffer in the future, and all the efforts we can put forth to gratify our patrons and eaders will be cheerfully and untiringy expended. A readable and sound conservative sheet, the Journal is deiened to be. In short, the future will iot diserace the past Mining News.—From all paris of the county we learn the most cheering Ihe miners seem to be in high . every where. Bankers and laborers tell the same tale, that never was more gold being taken from the earth than at this time Phe average sales i dustin the market never went to a higher figure [In addition to the items of last week other instances of individual success too long for publica3 > tion. we have astring of Orleans, Moore’s avd Woolsey’s the yield has not lessened. Eureka turns out gloriously — plenty of water and the mineral corresponds. At Alpha the miners are making fortunes. Our information is to the effect that none working in that locality go anrewarded. Omega is paying better than ever before. Some of its productions are ‘heavy lumps.” Two pieces, one 64, the other 8 ozs., were shown us a day or two since Good reports come from Gold Hill. Cherokee turns out the yellow ore bravely, and French Corral is not behind hand From Red Dog the news is flattering, and the vicinity round about is giving . forth daily evident signs of inexhaustible wealth. Brush and Rock Creeks still compete with any of the more puffed diggings, and seem destined to hold their own to the last click of time All the little mining camps are lively —why this city is not so we will try to tell some other time. Musica Convenrion.—There was a good turn-out at the Musical Convention on Saturday evening last, at the Court House. The hall and gallery were both filled, as far the comfort of the assemblage would allow. The singing was conducted with spirit, and went off well —not a blunder marring the oceasion. That the varied exercises should all have been performed with perfect accuracy, where so many partieipated who have but recently engaged in the art, is not to be expected; but the general expression of opinion was that they went off better than could reasonably have been anticipated. The association adjourned to meet again at Grass Valley on the first Saturday in June, but by request of the Grass Valley delegation, it was changed to Monday, June ist, in the afternoon and evening. A growing interest is manifested in this matter, and we doubt not the next session will be one of the ynost interesting occasions of the season. Norurtous.—A. ©. Niles, Esqr., has been appointed Notary Publis for this -otuty by the Governor, under the new jaw. Ths Judge will keep, the great seal of his office in this city. Duliness. «Times are dull.” This fact can be seen in our streets any day, however, not much more plainly exhibited here, perbaps, than any old town of considerable size in the State. was, if possible, the dullest day within the memory of the oldest inhabitant.— Wednesdays are always dull. causes contribute to this effeet, The Democrat is given to an indulgent public . on Wednesdays. The “responsible” article in the last number did the work for us—killed business as dead as a herring. The Democrat is good at figures. Ciphering out stolen sums from a Treasury made plethoric by loco foco rule, by thieving know nothings is just its hand. We took occasion last week to pay the Shasta Courier in its own coin, by fastening a portion of the mal-administration of the government where it properly belongs, at the same time saying nothing in estenuation of the errors of any administratoion of the government. The Democrat takes up the cudgel for the man in a higher northern latitude. It was’nt our neighbor’s fight, and he had better staid out. now, to show up the utter falsity of the “responsible” article in the Democrat. In the first place, the Know Nothing Legislature of 1856 saved, by an accurate estimate of Controller Whitman published last fall, over the preceding Legislature, the sum of $288,000. The doctrine of the loco focos has been “to the victors belong the spoils.” If by any acts of self denial the know nothings sueceeded in saving that sum, gaining a victory over temptation, it belonged to them by virtue of Democratic principles, and if a dollar less than the sum they saved was left to the State, it should stand to their credit—no previous administration having left a farthing unfilehed. That “outrageous State Prison Contract”? comes up again. Strange that the dear school of experience has not taught even the Democrat to let that subject alone. Who passed that “outThe “immortal seventeen” who defeated the election of U.S. Senator could have strangled the monster as easily as they did the hopes of Foote. Did they do so? No. Of the nineteen in the Senate who voted for that act, thirteen are Democrats and one (Flint) Republican, though an acknowledged Democrat at the time the great iniquity was practised. Burton (Whig) voted against the bill, leaving but four Simon pure Americans to be engaged in the “ outrageous ”’ measure. That John Bigler awarded a contract to Vassault for over a million dollars is rageous”” act? patent and no one but the Democrat . man has the hardihood to deny it.— Again the statement that the warrants drawn by Controller Bell have never been paid, is not true to the extent intended by our neighbor. Sixty thousand dollars of those warrants were paid in cash, before a Know Nothing Legis. . lature could assemble to cancel the re/mainder, about $125,000, which was saved to State, and not included in the $288,000 before mentioned. cancelled warrants should be paid, the expense of the State Prison under Bigler’s control was less than the Know Nothing Legislature contracted to pay Estell the winter following. Oh! double extract of ashes! The enormous sum of one hundred eighty-five thousand seven hundred and seventy-one dollars and ninety-seven cents, will be foun] in the Registry book in the office of the State Treasury, to have been drawn in warrants on account of the State Prison, between the 9th day of July and the 5th day of December, 1855, and all the claims were not then presented. Now we will indulge the figuring propensities of the Democrat to its bent to discover how much this amounts to per month. We stated it at a guess, in our last to be 836,000, Another thousand and a trifle more should be added to our estimate. Deducting the amount said to have been expended in State Prison walls, and without taking into consideration claims unaudited at the time, and the monthly sum paid by the State for the support of the Prison while under the control of John Bigler, exceeds by far $10,000 per month, the sum allowed Esiell. But if that contract was an outrageous one, why did not the “immortal seventeen” add another claim to immortality by killing it manfully and ontright, and, again, why did not the Locofoco Legislature just Cispersed annul that outrageous contract, and save the State seven thousand dollars per month for four years or more? There was a chance of even purchasing that contract and saving to the people sixty thousand dollars ayear. If the Know Nothings committed that ~ outrageous ” wrong, which they did not, why did not the Democracy repair it as far as lay in their power ? Times must be dull, indeed. to drive even the Democrat to such a subject for an article. AccIDENT.—A bank fell in at Alpha on the 9th inst., severely injuring a miner named John Troy. He was badly brujsed about the bowels, and face slightly. He died of his injuries the next day. Local i We intend . GUBERNATORIAL Prospects.— The all absorbing question among among quidnunes is, Who'll be Governor? It i3 pretty generally conceded that Col. ; . Baker will be forced by the Republicans Wednesday to take up the cross for their sake. An excellent stumper, he will make the canvass no child’s play to his opponents if they travel and attempt to cope with him in oratory. A foreigner by birth, it is confidently expected he will alienate a portion of that vote from the De mocracy. A western man, and a large share of our population coming from the west and north, it would not bea f.rced supposition that hundreds of old friends and acquaintances without distinction of party,will vote for him. A gallant soldier on the fields of Mexico, the participators in those conflicts of arms, may be expected to remember a brave man at the ballot box. Such are Col. Baker’s omens of success. On the other hand he will contend with a well disciplined foe, inspirited A noted warrior has said, the nearer the common soldier comes to a machine, the better for The Democratic party would fill that warrior’s eye. Its members fall in at the tap of the drum, and are drilled by well appointed leaders to step to whatever tune they order played. Right or wrong, their victorious colors advance, and rarely can a Spartan band be found to check their career. Col. Baker, an adept in political as well as other warfare may harass them terribly, but it is much like a forlorn hope to lead any cohort against the all-conquering legions of Democracy. Much, however, depends upon the leader chosen by the dominant party. Weller, Denver, McCorkle, Norman, and a dozen others, are candidates, either of their friends’ or of thsir own accord. The qualifications of these respectively, to bear the standard of their party, are well known, and need no exposition — Neither of them can compete with Col with a thousand victories. success. Baker upon the stump, or perhaps anywhere else, but before the stubborn elements of the Democratic party, who will strike but not listen. Again, as things shape themselves daily, there is likely to be a Guerrilla clan under the command of the subaltern of Jefferson from Calavaras, Col. Watkins. An Ishmaelite by principle, practice and experience, his hand will be against every party and every party against him. His Democracy is of that old kind taught by the fathers of the party, transmitted through him to this new fangled, interpolating age, to contrast purity with degeneracy. The unswerving Democracy of Col. Watkins for sixty years, his experience in the art of government, his implacable hostility to the venality and corruption which sometimes fester in high places, and his open declamations in favor of the peopie’s rights, will commend his claims to thousands who would otherwise vote tlie . Democratic ticket. Age bas, however, made ravages upon the intellect of Col. . Watkins, and his old fogy notions will not suit the fast ideas of Young America . He is not ambitious of the position, and, The Democrat says, even if these . we presume, if Col. Welleris the nominee of the Democracy of the State, the known friendship of the styled Nestor of California Legislatures for Weller, will impel him to peremptorily decline being the people’s candidate, much as he may profess to be devoted to the dear ones interests, and subservient to nothing but their wishes. We have written thus far on a question which, next to the comet, is agitating the public mind most, but the only answer to who'll be Governer, is quien sabe? Theatre. Tae PENNSYLVANIANS.—This troupe which has lately made its advent into the State, appeared at Frisbie’s Theatre, on Saturday and Monday nights last. Good audiences greeted them on both occasions, on the latter night the house being full. A respectable number of ladies were present, and to say that the entire audience were pleased with the entertainmert, is not transcending the truth. The Misses Mandeville have sweet voices, but not the compass and power desirable to execute some particular pieces. Neither of them is a Jenny Lind, or Kate Hayes, though their music is better adapted to the appreciation of nine-tenths of the people, than that of either of the Queens of Song. At least, we confess, it comes within the range of our tastes, while more artificial efforts fail to please. But Jounson is the Star of the Peunsylvanians, and would be a Star any7 His equal we have never seen as a comic vocalist and actor. He kepi the theatre in a continual roar. The audience were delighted, calling him out again and again, and seemed dispowhere. sed to test the inexhaustable fund of originality and humor which Johnson evidently possesses. the curtain he came out and said he was highly gratified with the reception given him by the aucienee “and so was Mrs. Johnson.” The troupe left for Grass Valley on Tuesday, promising to accede to the request of many of our citizens, and return in a few weeks at farthest, when we bespeak for the Pennsylvanians a crowded house. a tn ott ern AS NA On the drop of Immigration. A project is on foot to establish a line of mammoth ocean Steamers to run on the Pacific and Atlantie side, between New York and San Franciseo. A company has been organized and the object and ends to be acecmplished by the undertaking are set forth in a pamphlet circulating about the country. It is proposed to fix the capital of the company at one million dollars, to be divided into four thousand shates at two hundred and fifty dollars each. The bolder of a share is to be entitled to a second class ticket anuually. Three shares will entitle the holder to a first class passage. ‘The project already numbers many subscribers, and bids fair to gain many more. The inducements held out are plauseble to say the least. The Steamers on both sides are to be of the same construction, and the passenger to be entitled to the corresponding room in both vessels. Superior accommodations are contemplated, speed increased and fare reduced, besides a spirit of revenge may be gratified towards the exorbitant Pacific Mail Steamship Company.— The enterprise is a good one, not to the holders of the stock, but to the traveling public. No large company of this kind can make a line of Steamers, such as proposed, remunerative, Too many will be interested, the company will be unwieldy, and individual responsibilities and risks too light. Or, at least, the experiment, if it suceeeds, will be among the very first that has so resulted. A small company under the guidance of one master spirit sneceeds best in any great enterprise, . : : Che project we conclude will not pay the holders of one, two or five shares — . . beeves There is too great a temptation to one sharp individual near the fountain head of power, to so manage the concern as. to make tne stock of little value, in order ultimately to purchase it in at a small price. This game has been often practised and nas become patent to dealers in stocks. But the great object of the building a line of Steamers, will in a great measure be accomplished whatever fate may befal the original patrons of the concern. The Steamers will live, probably, and float ; they will go to and fro upon the Oceans freighted with human life; they will, monopoly company now in the heyday of prosperity, run in opposition to the other line, cheapening freight and passage greatly to the benefit of not only this State, but many others. great desideratum. this State can afford to never directly returned to them for the investment. Their other interests will be benefited more than enough to repair the loss. with the expectation of realizing a dollar profit from it is taking worse than a young gambleas chance witha gray faro dealer.

Cauirornia Srate Recister.—The prospectus of a new paper to be started by Parker H. French, and devoted to the Free Soil Republican interest, is announced. The paper is to be published at Sacramento, but when the first number is to be given the public we have not yet learned. As the Republicans have no avowed organ in this State, spite of Col. French’s antecedents, it will doubtless receive a good support. New Bonv.—Ex-Treasurer Bates has been compelled to file a new bond with the following sureties: W. B. Rochester, $/ ,0°0; M. G. Reed, $20,000; F. R. Bunker, $12,000; J. M. Rhodes, $2,500 ; making altogether but $38,500 —an inconsiderable sum for the money Dr. Bates has lost the State.

The San Diezo Herald of . 1¢th April publishes the following nar. ate points. ration of the destruction of Crabt’s party in Senora, furnished by a gentleman just arrived from Fort Yuma: Late in March Crabb’s party left Sonora and marched to Cavara,a small Mexican town near Point Lobos on the Gulf of California. The first intention was to have proceeded to Altar. news cf :ts partial fortification and susceptability of a strong defence caused . the diversion on Cavara. On the morning of the Ist of April, the party of Americans entered the suburbs of the town.— They were met by a party of Mexican . It was to troops commanded by Roderiguez. is said Roderiguez’s purpose speak to Crabb when the Americans opened fire and killed the Mexican Commander and several others. The Mexicans immediately retreated, some tothe but the majority to the church which had been placed in a state of mountains, defence, and had at the time Crabb entered the town a number of roasting in front of it, to feed the Mexican troops. It appears that here occurred Crabb’s first and fatal mistake—instead at once charging and taking the church which would have given him the town, he occupied several houses in the corner of the plaza in front of the church. first deserted the gradually being

Worn out with constant fighting, exposure and anxiety, famished by probably days of starvation and thirst, and with. out ammunition, H. A. Crabb ani fifty. eight men marched out of the burning house with a white flag before them, laid down their arms and surrendered, it is supposed, unconditionally. This was in the night or towards morning. They were immediately tied, their hands behind them, and taken to a corral near . the Alcalde’s otfice, where they were taken out in squads of five and ten each and shot. In the first execution it was found that the calmness of the Americans discomposed the executioneors aud they shot too high or too Jow in many . cases, only wonnding their vietims, the backs of the fated men were then turned to the troops and then they succeeded in aiming with better effect.

Crabb alone was reserved for a solitary death: He was taken to the Alcalde’s office, questioned, allowed to write a letter to his wife, and to have an interview with a Dr. Erares, a physician in the hands of the Mexicans— who had been weeks on suspicion. The hour for his execution having arrived, he was led out, his hand stretched above his head. He was taken and tied to a post in front of the building he had occupied, his face to the post and his back to the execationers. At the command fre, at least 100 balls were fired into his body, . and all that was mortal of Henry A. Crabb, hung dead and bleeding by his . tied hands.
