FRIDAY MORNING, MAY 15th, 1860. . ——T—T_]_2{aa=aEUQ— The Climate tor GrapesIt is told us—we know not with how . much truth—that a grape raiser in this vi. Cinity, on taking a sufvey of his vineyard, . 6 few mornings since, after awarm sun had . revealed the mischief of a frosty night, . immediately put up a board on the street . fence with “For Sale” on it, and has worn . a wrinkled front ever since. Doubtless the recent frosts have had a discouraging influ. ence on the cultivation of the vine in these . upper regions.” The extreme heat of last . summer and the multitude of borers checked the enterprize of men engaged in planting erchards to a great extent. This year purehases of trees were made with diffidence and caution. Those who would like to see their homes surrounded with trees were slow totry an uncertainty. The late se-, vere frosts having killed the new wood on ail grape vines, the effect is discouraging to those who are not familiar with grape culture, and not a. few are willing to believe that our mountains ar@ not favorable to the growth of the vine. It may be some consolation for them to know that the most favored grape growing regions of Europe have in all ages been subject to like dis‘couragements. The vine district of Italy, south-east of the Appenines, from which came the celebrated Falernian wines, was not always blessed with favorable seasons. Columella recommends the planting of as many as five varieties of the grape, in order to secure acrop from the most hardy in unfavorable seasons. Perhaps there is no better region forthe growth of the grape in Europe than that in south-castern Italy. For soil it is counted superior, and with the exception of the Grecian Islands, where the Surrounding sea gives a more equable climate, if that were possible, there is no more genial spot for the vine in the world. We occupy an elevated position, topographically speaking. Our soil is a mountain soil. We are at times visited with frosts that leave our vineyards presenting a sorryappearance, But mountain soils have been known to produce the choicest wines . from time immemorial. Wines for body and dumbiity are not made from grapes grown en alluvions. Our climate may not be so . perfect as to insure acrop every year. It ia A rare country which can boast of such a . * . climate. And really, when we come to look #t the matter philosophically, we must conclude that the loss of a crop occasionally i4no great detriment aficr all. The diffi. culties in raising the grape will help to increose the value of the product and the profits of wine making will, therefore, not . be materially lessened, should an unfayor. sbie season occur now and then. . . We hope we have given some reasons why we should not despair of our country as a wine producing one; and if we have done . aught to blunt the edge of disappointment, . Tus CHar.eston Convention.—The Pony Express, of Monday, brings the intelligence that the National Convention of the harmonieus Democracy broke up in a row at Charleston without making nominations.— The news has saddened the Democracy much . in these parts. They see visions of spoils . receding in ihe distance. The whole number of votes in the Convention are set down at 303, of which the highest vote of Douglas was 1523. The remaining votes were divided between Hunter, Lane, Dickenson, Guthrie and Davis, the three latter, however, getting but a vote or! two each. The split in the Convention was caused . by the adoption of a platform not palatable . to some of the ultra Southern States. Alabama,. Mississippi, Florida and Texas, numbering in all 23 votes, withdrew from the . Convention. aware and. Arkansas partially seceded from the Conyentionalso. The remainder of the delegates after the seceders left proceeded to ballot forty-seven times without effecting @ nomination, and finally adjourned to mect at Baltimore on the 18th of June. The seceders voted to assemble at the City of Washington on the 11th of June, There is a probability of the wings uniting again. Self-preservation is likely to bring them together after the Republican ticket is made. The rupture at Charleston has, however, given the party a shock from which it will hardly recover. South Carolina, Georgia, DelIxprans tx Srsrra Vattey.—aA telegraphic dispatch from Downieville on Tuesday announced the presence of Indians in considerable numbers in Sierra Valley. As the yailey is about twenty miles from the line of march of the Nevada company, couriers were immediately dispatched after the company to inform them of the facts and put them on their guard. An additional company and more money was raised to reinforce the troop already on the road. A great deal of parleying was had about the matter, but eventually a small mounted party was puton the road on Wednesday morning. A few of the warriors who were eager for the fray in the outset remained behind, it is suggested by some, to guard the specie train which Grass Valley is to dispatch to the scat of war, and by others to form a standing army in this city. The fact that the bcll-weather volunteer went hot haste to Benicia on the following morning gives color to the latter suggestion. It is thought he goes as bearer of dispatches to Gen. Clark, and to procure heavy artillery to fortify the Sugar-Loaf. Nons verrons, as Fayther Richie used to say. . Sacramento Unionto assume a great deal for /cency and henesty, what has Douglas ever How We Apples Swim! Our city was astonisHed on! hearing the account of the massacre of some of her . citizens nearPyramid Lake—greatly astonished. But still move astonished were they to obtain the following military news from the Union. It is remarkable how that paper succeeds in enlightening the public in this quarter, and in fact, everywhere, in regard to Nevada and what transpires in it.— Speaking of the war news, the Union of Monday says: “Immediately after the receipt of the news, Johnson Price, Secretary of State, assumed the responsibility (Governor Downey being absent at San Quentin), to order the Nevada Rifles to march for Carson Valley as svon as they eould be gotready. The Rifles telegraphed back that they were ready but required percussion caps. The caps were sent to Nevada by a special messenger. The Company undoubtedly are now on their way.” Now, the truth is, the Nevada Rifles, as a company can hardly be said to exist. A company of volunteers, not instigated by any Secretary of State, or other officer at Sacramento, came together of their own accord and made arrangements to proceed to Carson Valley. They telegraphed to Sacramento for percussion caps on learning there were but few inthis city. They telegraphed, too, that they would stand the expense of the caps and getting them here.— They paid the price asked for the caps in Sacramento and for putting them in this city—$60. The Nevada company took the initiative withoutorders. The Nevada people launched out their cash and assumed responsibilities without a suggestion from any outsider. “Johnson Price, Secretary of State, assumed the responsibility to order the Nevada Rifles to march to Carson Valley!’ Johnson Price, nor the Governor himself, has authority in the premises, and if so, why order the Nevada Rifles? Why not send your valiant troops and arms over the only route via. Placerville? The Union has forgottenitself. It has unwittingly admitted Nevada to be nearer Virginia City than Placerville, else why the order to the Nevada Rifles, notwithstanding the deficiency of caps, and none to the Placerville and Coloma companies ? panies were ordered to hold themselves in readiness, we are told, to march ; our company to start forthwith. The other comThe Nevada company were put upen the road in twelve hours after the first dis. patch arrived giving information of the massacre of their friends in Western Utah. Could percussion caps have been obtained in this city the march would haye been commenced in six hours. We notice a dispositionon the part of the . the forwardness and liberality of that city. . Some of their citizens we know are liberal and enterprizing. But can the capital of the State show a firm among its citizens . with the dollars . like one of ourown? Birdseye & Felt>r, we undertaketo say, have taken a thousand which has “come down” dollar interest in the Carson Valley War: . and our citizens generally are interested, in Indians who are represented to be nume-} money advanced, toa lager extent than any . rous, well armed with guns and mounted, . other town inthe State. While so much} sumption is abroad we may as well claim {the honor which properly belongs to our} ments and wipe them out. city—that’s all. Bes" The Democrat objects to the term } “ pusillanimous mongrel” we have applied to Douglas, and asks, *‘in the name of de. done to merit the application of such a term.” The story is along one, Brother Rolfe, but in the name of the virtues you . invoke we shall reply to your interrogatory satisfactorily at an early day, premising that you are inquiring in the name of honesty and decency for information respecting the leader of the Democracy. We shall remind you of the fact that Douglas obtained \ his entrance into Congress by log-rolling a bill through the IHlinois Legislature which dismembered a county inorder to make thre District in which he was to run, democratic. Pusillanimous is the term for such ac tions. The magnanimous never resort to tricks to obtain personal advantages. We shall remind you of the demagogical efforts . of the dumpy Ilinoisan to procure the refunding of Gen. Jackson’s fine by the goy. Sulted in the massacre of a large number of . the word. . was evident thatthe settlements in Western be brave, enfuriated with their bloody . government, and besides had no power to Indian War. Our city was thrown into an intense excitement on Sunday last by a telegraphic izens, had been massacréd by Indians on the other side of the mountains The report proved tootrue. The telegraphic operator here found the line from Carson city to Sacramento entirely occupied in’ the transmission of messages concerning the massacre, Enough twas made public in this city relative to the horrid affair to produce a profound sensation. A meeting was immediately called at the theatre and the building was instantly crammed. An organization was had and a committee appointed to take up subscriptions to aid in sending a company with arms end ammunition to the relief of our brethren. Two thousand two hundred and sixty-five dollars were raised, Birdseye & Felton heading the list with five hundred dollars. Others gavea hundred each, and the list was completed withsmalleramounts. A company of thirty men volunteered without delay, to accompany Sheriff Van Hagen to Carson Valley, and conyey the arms of the Nevada Rifle company. Forty Sharpe’s Rifles were put up for transportation, besides some of the volunteers preferred errrying their own arms. A want of caps became apparent.— The city could not supply them of the proper A dispatch to Sacramento had the effect to puta quantity on the road by pony express. The volunteers, however, became impatient, and put themselves on the road, all mounted, at 2 o'clock at night, leaving one of their number to take along the caps when they should arrive. The caps came to hand at about 6 o'clock in the morning, having made the trip from Sacramento in eight hours. Mr. O. T. Ganong was the express rider. A difficulty had been experienced in the scarcity of horses for the use of thecompany. Butthrough the exertions of Mr. Birdseye a few more men were sent on in the morning to overtake the others. It is proper to say that the volunteers were detained from marching at almost a moment’s warning by the want of caps and cartridges. To supply the latter a party of men put themselves to work in the gun-. smith shop of Z. P. Davisand by two o’clock . alarge quantity of cartridges were manu} factured, when the company immediately took to their horses and left. size. A report was circulated in town that a company was to leave Placerville for the scene of waron Sunday evening, that companies from Sacramento and Benicia were also in readiness to march, and that Capt. Ager, of Downieville, had telegraphed for three Sierra companies to proceed over the . mountains at once. Au express had been . sent from Carson City to Honey Lake, asking assistance from the U.S. troops sta-. tioned at that place. From all accounts it Utah were in a state of alarm, fearing the success, would come down upon the settle. One dispatch . from Virginia City said there were men enough there forany emergency, but an utter want of arms and munitions of war.— Gov. Downey was absent from the seat of. order troops to procecd outside the State . It behocved the people to actin When distress called for assistance against a sayage foe, it did not become us, far from the } scene of disaster, to judge of the Indian limits. the emergency. their brethren in character and weigh the probabilities of the worst fears of supplicants for aid being realized. There might be an unreasonable panic. It was saferto lend the assistance desired and judge of the necessity after. Californians with a spirit worthy . ward. of them responded to the call of their brethren in Utah. Probably one thousand stand of arms have been poured into our neigh. boring Territory ere this, sufficient for any emergency. The causes of this difficulty which has reernment—a fine that was returned to him . 0Ur citizens undoubtedly lie primarily with without delay by the citizens of New Orleans.

Pasture and hunting grounds by the whites, It was a barren victory undertaken for personal advantages. We shall call to your memory the fact that Douglas at first gave in his adhesion to the English Bill, but was forced by Broderick to denounce it. We shall try to remind you that Douglas repudiated Broderick, Forney, and all the brave . hearts who stood by him in the hour of tria, at the first opportunity, and that when ;the Senator from California fell, Douglas had not the manliness to pay a tribute to the memory of his bravest and staunchest friend. Magnanimous hearts are ever true to friendship. Weshall endeavor at no distant period to show the hollowness of your favorite’s doctrines, which we sum up now ina few words for you to ponder on till then: He holds the slaveholder nas the right to j that the people there have the power to kick them out. What sort of a right is }that? And here lies your great principle of take his negroes into the Territories, but; and were urgent that a portion of the stock of the Americans should be removed. Not long since, if report be true, a scamp with a white face rode into the camp of the PahUtes and wantonly shot down and killed Winnemucka, the head chief of the tribe. Murders of whites for revenge followed, of course. A company of one hundred men proceeded to chastise the Indians for these }murders. They were on their way in search of the savages when they were suddenly surrounded, overpowered and massacred. This appears to be the story in brief. The fault in the first instance is attributable to the American Government in not providing a proper officer with efficient means to adjust difficulties between the whites and Indians in Western Utah, and hold them in icheck. An understanding might have been had with the savages long ago, and a treaty made of mutual advantage to both races. The partial success of the Indians may now require a severe lesson to teach them their i hid from the reporter's view. . ion says, itis the duty of the general govyvent their vengeance on any Indian they may meet, be he friend or foe. A Shoshone confederation of Indian tribés and a bloody . savage war, suck as finds scarcely a parallel . in American history, Thetribes to the north-east of us are a noble ace of men, large, powerful, brave, and “well supplied with horses and arms. They know every inch of ground and can retreat to a hundred strong holds along the eastern borders of California and Oregon, or on the deserts, where the whites can only come through much suffering and expense. The natives can live upon roots, grass, grasshoppers, or any thing which chance may offer for food, sweeping on fleet horses from one spot to another, while the whites must always be encumbered with baggage and stores. The Indians, too, will never fight except they have the advantage of placc or numbers, and the snot fora battle they will always select for themselves. Thus we conceive the want of a proper agent of the government in Western Utah, to temporvize and rule the hour to be great. Heenan & Sayers. The taajor part of the account heretofore published of the great fight of Heenan and Sayers for the championship of England is confirmed by the last Pony. Full accounts both by English and American authorities are given in the number of the Sacramento Union for Wednesday. The reports vary considerably, as might have been expected considering the national feelings engendered. The American side is given by Geo. Wilkes in his Spirit of the Times, and reports that a.shameful interference was made by the British crowd on and after the thirty-seventh round. A cry of ‘Police” was raised in order to distract Heenan who was a stranger and Hable to be disconcerted. Several policemen were present, Wilkes says, and manifested no disposition to interfere. The cry was raised to give Sayers the advantage when ina failing condition. Wilkes reports fortytwo distinet rounds. Bell's Life in London, gives but thirty-seven, when it says the police were discovered and an excitemant ensued which caused the combattants to be . Wilkes says there was dishonorable treatment by the British throughout the last five rounds, while Bell's Life charges Heenan with unprofessional actions. Both accounts leave no other impression than that Heenan is the superior man of the two. Heenan became maddened with the treatment he re. ceived and gave the friends of Sayers who . interfered to save their champion from his blows a few for their pains. knocks from his mawleys On the last round reported by Wilkes, Sayers not coming to time when called and refusing to throw up token of Heenan walked up to him while sitting on the knee . of his second and gave him a farewell . knock when a free fight ensued, and the . great and much talked of combat for the} the sponge in defeat, ‘ , . champion s belt ended. It seems evident . from the accounts of the fight that it will not be renewed. Popctar Soverrtaxty Testep.—The time . has arrived when the Dongias-Pugh doct. rine of popular sovereignty is being tested. The exponent of that doctrine, the Sacra. mento Union, sometime last year assumed . the position that society alone was sovereign; that the people of a Territory were really an independent community, outside the pale of the American Constitution, and . if sovereign, of course, were subject to none of its benefits or restrictions. Now the Un. ernment to defend Western Utah against the Indians. If society is sover. eign and independent, what right has the; general government to interfere in the affairs of the society on our eastern border? Uow is our government obligated to protect a sovereign and independent community ? These are questions the people will ask, and , which the Union will not answer. Mum's How so?

Resolved, That his conduct as @man, and as alawyer, when in our midst conciliated in the highest degree our friendship and esteem, and that his gallant and heroic death onthe field of battle. are in accordance with the promise of his past life. Resolved, That we, his brethren of the Nevada Bar, deeply lament the death of Henry Meredith, and that we will ever cherish a grateful recollection of his manifold virtues as a man, a citizen, and a leading member of the bar. Resolved, That we deeply sympathize with the relatives of the deceased and tender them our cordial condolence, in their sad bereayement, Resolved, That these resolutions be presented in open Court, with a request to his Honor, the presiding Judge, that they be entered upon the records of the District Court of Nevada county, and that copies thereof be transmitted to the relatives of the deccased. After appropriate remarks relative to the good character of the deeeased, by Messrs MeConnell, Belden, Hill and Hawley, the resolutions were unanimously adopted, and on motion were ordered to be signed by the Chairman and Secretary, and published in the newspapers of Nevada eounty, and also in Union and Standard of Sacramento. The meeting then adjourned. NILES SEARLS, Ch’n. Tnos. P. Hawtey, See’y. Tribute of Respect. At a special meeting of Union Lodge No. 4, I. O. of G. T., held at Temperance Hall, on Saturday May 5th, 1860, the Committee appointed to prepare and report resolutions in relation to the death of Mary Clark, a member of said Lodge—submitted the following preamble and resolutions, which were unanimously adopted: Wrenrras, it hath pleased Divine Providence to remove from our midst, in the morning of her life, ouresteemed Sister, Mary Ciark, therefore, Resolved, That the members of this Lodge do most sineerely lament the loss of our deceased sister whose whole life was a beautiful illustration of “ Faith, Hope and Charity.” Resolved, That her example in life was worthy of imitation of all Good Templars, and that we y remembrance of her patience, modesty and moral worth.

L.W. WILLIAMS, A. H. PARKER, GEO. 8. HUPP, Committee. Popvtanity vs. InteLtect.—The Hydraulic . Press contains the following sensible paragraph: . “Mrs. RK. W. Farnham, the authoress of seve. ral volumes, and a woman of too much intellect to be popularly appreciated, intends to lecture at the Bay, upon the subject of ** Woman, her position and future rank in society.” Her lectures ; before the Woman’s Hearth Club, in New York, . were commended by some of the best of her} sex.” The Press has found the key to the non-suecess . of some of the best men in the United 8 It has been noticeable, especially in Californie, . . that the very worst class of men attain position and preferment at the hands of the m —t voters—the motive power of our gov the people.

Because inteliect . is at adiscount and rowdyism and b’hoyism rules the day, and the man who can drink the most . . whisky, treat oftenest, swear hardest and com. mit all sorts of little vices, is the most popular and highly esteemed. A superior mind must expect to be neglected by his fellow-men, if hlets them alone. But let such a mind attempt to instruct them, to correct their errors, and they turn his enemies ; but should he dare to expose their hypocrisy and vives, he is sure to be the butt of their persecutions No man can be pleased with what he cannot see and understand.

Dovraie—Drvecen.—A scientific amateur was brought to a fearful account, the other day, and probably learned something by it. He dissolved a quantity of Cream of Tartar in a glass of water, and complacently swallowed it. The druggist was tired of this outside practice. He . turned suddenly and asked Amateur, with the proper display of agitation, if he had swallowed anything from that Cream o’ Tartar jar! !— *Y-e-e-s-!’ tremblingly replied the Amateur— ‘W-h-h-y-i-?? ‘Hell’s before you! here! swallow this, quick !—as Julia says, po 1T! nor leave the task to m-ee/’ and Druggy handed him about fourteen pounds of Ipecac, mixed into a gruel with soapy water from the wash-dish.— Amateur drank, and drank, and drank—till his belt was full, The Ipecac did its work, and left our friend an empty stomach, and face as white as old Mr. Hamlet’s ghost. Finally, when satisfied that there was nothing left in him, he asked, in gentle, dove-like accents, what was in that jar. ‘Nothing but Cream o’ Tartar,’ says Druggy ; ‘but it’s mine; and I don’t make any charge for that Ipacac.’ Our friend was too weak to fight; was barely able to withdraw his custom—whiech he did.—Sierra Dem.

FRIDAY MORNING, MAY 15th, 1860. . ——T—T_]_2{aa=aEUQ— The Climate tor GrapesIt is told us—we know not with how . much truth—that a grape raiser in this vi. Cinity, on taking a sufvey of his vineyard, . 6 few mornings since, after awarm sun had . revealed the mischief of a frosty night, . immediately put up a board on the street . fence with “For Sale” on it, and has worn . a wrinkled front ever since. Doubtless the recent frosts have had a discouraging influ. ence on the cultivation of the vine in these . upper regions.” The extreme heat of last . summer and the multitude of borers checked the enterprize of men engaged in planting erchards to a great extent. This year purehases of trees were made with diffidence and caution. Those who would like to see their homes surrounded with trees were slow totry an uncertainty.. The late se-, vere frosts having killed the new wood on ail grape vines, the effect is discouraging to those who are not familiar with grape culture, and not a. few are willing to believe that our mountains ar@ not favorable to the growth of the vine. It may be some consolation for them to know that the most favored grape growing regions of Europe have in all ages been subject to like dis‘couragements. The vine district of Italy, south-east of the Appenines, from which came the celebrated Falernian wines, was not always blessed with favorable seasons. Columella recommends the planting of as many as five varieties of the grape, in order to secure acrop from the most hardy in unfavorable seasons. Perhaps there is no better region forthe growth of the grape in Europe than that in south-castern Italy. For soil it is counted superior, and with the exception of the Grecian Islands, where the Surrounding sea gives a more equable climate, if that were possible, there is no more genial spot for the vine in the world. We occupy an elevated position, topographically speaking. Our soil is a mountain soil. We are at times visited with frosts that leave our vineyards presenting a sorryappearance, But mountain soils have been known to produce the choicest wines . from time immemorial. Wines for body and dumbiity are not made from grapes grown en alluvions. Our climate may not be so . perfect as to insure acrop every year. It ia A rare country which can boast of such a . * . climate. And really, when we come to look #t the matter philosophically, we must conclude that the loss of a crop occasionally i4no great detriment aficr all. The diffi. culties in raising the grape will help to increose the value of the product and the profits of wine making will, therefore, not . be materially lessened, should an unfayor. sbie season occur now and then. . . We hope we have given some reasons why we should not despair of our country as a wine producing one; and if we have done . aught to blunt the edge of disappointment, . Tus CHar.eston Convention.—The Pony Express, of Monday, brings the intelligence that the National Convention of the harmonieus Democracy broke up in a row at Charleston without making nominations.— The news has saddened the Democracy much . in these parts. They see visions of spoils . receding in ihe distance. The whole number of votes in the Convention are set down at 303, of which the highest vote of Douglas was 1523. The remaining votes were divided between Hunter, Lane, Dickenson, Guthrie and Davis, the three latter, however, getting but a vote or! two each. The split in the Convention was caused . by the adoption of a platform not palatable . to some of the ultra Southern States. Alabama,. Mississippi, Florida and Texas, numbering in all 23 votes, withdrew from the . Convention. aware and. Arkansas partially seceded from the Conyentionalso. The remainder of the delegates after the seceders left proceeded to ballot forty-seven times without effecting @ nomination, and finally adjourned to mect at Baltimore on the 18th of June. The seceders voted to assemble at the City of Washington on the 11th of June, There is a probability of the wings uniting again. Self-preservation is likely to bring them together after the Republican ticket is made. The rupture at Charleston has, however, given the party a shock from which it will hardly recover. South Carolina, Georgia, DelIxprans tx Srsrra Vattey.—aA telegraphic dispatch from Downieville on Tuesday announced the presence of Indians in considerable numbers in Sierra Valley. As the yailey is about twenty miles from the line of march of the Nevada company, couriers were immediately dispatched after the company to inform them of the facts and put them on their guard. An additional company and more money was raised to reinforce the troop already on the road. A great deal of parleying was had about the matter, but eventually a small mounted party was puton the road on Wednesday morning. A few of the warriors who were eager for the fray in the outset remained behind, it is suggested by some, to guard the specie train which Grass Valley is to dispatch to the scat of war, and by others to form a standing army in this city. The fact that the bcll-weather volunteer went hot haste to Benicia on the following morning gives color to the latter suggestion. It is thought he goes as bearer of dispatches to Gen. Clark, and to procure heavy artillery to fortify the Sugar-Loaf. Nons verrons, as Fayther Richie used to say. . Sacramento Unionto assume a great deal for /cency and henesty, what has Douglas ever How We Apples Swim! Our city was astonisHed on! hearing the account of the massacre of some of her . citizens nearPyramid Lake—greatly astonished. But still move astonished were they to obtain the following military news from the Union. It is remarkable how that paper succeeds in enlightening the public in this quarter, and in fact, everywhere, in regard to Nevada and what transpires in it.— Speaking of the war news, the Union of Monday says: “Immediately after the receipt of the news, Johnson Price, Secretary of State, assumed the responsibility (Governor Downey being absent at San Quentin), to order the Nevada Rifles to march for Carson Valley as svon as they eould be gotready. The Rifles telegraphed back that they were ready but required percussion caps. The caps were sent to Nevada by a special messenger. The Company undoubtedly are now on their way.” Now, the truth is, the Nevada Rifles, as a company can hardly be said to exist. A company of volunteers, not instigated by any Secretary of State, or other officer at Sacramento, came together of their own accord and made arrangements to proceed to Carson Valley. They telegraphed to Sacramento for percussion caps on learning there were but few inthis city. They telegraphed, too, that they would stand the expense of the caps and getting them here.— They paid the price asked for the caps in Sacramento and for putting them in this city—$60. The Nevada company took the initiative withoutorders. The Nevada people launched out their cash and assumed responsibilities without a suggestion from any outsider. “Johnson Price, Secretary of State, assumed the responsibility to order the Nevada Rifles to march to Carson Valley!’ Johnson Price, nor the Governor himself, has authority in the premises, and if so, why order the Nevada Rifles? Why not send your valiant troops and arms over the only route via. Placerville? The Union has forgottenitself. It has unwittingly admitted Nevada to be nearer Virginia City than Placerville, else why the order to the Nevada Rifles, notwithstanding the deficiency of caps, and none to the Placerville and Coloma companies ? panies were ordered to hold themselves in readiness, we are told, to march ; our company to start forthwith. The other comThe Nevada company were put upen the road in twelve hours after the first dis. patch arrived giving information of the massacre of their friends in Western Utah. Could percussion caps have been obtained in this city the march would haye been commenced in six hours. We notice a dispositionon the part of the . the forwardness and liberality of that city. . Some of their citizens we know are liberal and enterprizing. But can the capital of the State show a firm among its citizens . with the dollars . like one of ourown? Birdseye & Felt>r, we undertaketo say, have taken a thousand which has “come down” dollar interest in the Carson Valley War: . and our citizens generally are interested, in Indians who are represented to be nume-} money advanced, toa lager extent than any . rous, well armed with guns and mounted, . other town inthe State.

Bes" The Democrat objects to the term } “ pusillanimous mongrel” we have applied to Douglas, and asks, *‘in the name of de. done to merit the application of such a term.” The story is along one, Brother Rolfe, but in the name of the virtues you . invoke we shall reply to your interrogatory satisfactorily at an early day, premising that you are inquiring in the name of honesty and decency for information respecting the leader of the Democracy. We shall remind you of the fact that Douglas obtained \ his entrance into Congress by log-rolling a bill through the IHlinois Legislature which dismembered a county inorder to make thre District in which he was to run, democratic. Pusillanimous is the term for such ac tions. The magnanimous never resort to tricks to obtain personal advantages. We shall remind you of the demagogical efforts . of the dumpy Ilinoisan to procure the refunding of Gen. Jackson’s fine by the goy. Sulted in the massacre of a large number of . the word. . was evident thatthe settlements in Western be brave, enfuriated with their bloody . government, and besides had no power to Indian War. Our city was thrown into an intense excitement on Sunday last by a telegraphic izens, had been massacréd by Indians on the other side of the mountains The report proved tootrue. The telegraphic operator here found the line from Carson city to Sacramento entirely occupied in’ the transmission of messages concerning the massacre, Enough twas made public in this city relative to the horrid affair to produce a profound sensation. A meeting was immediately called at the theatre and the building was instantly crammed. An organization was had and a committee appointed to take up subscriptions to aid in sending a company with arms end ammunition to the relief of our brethren. Two thousand two hundred and sixty-five dollars were raised, Birdseye & Felton heading the list with five hundred dollars. Others gavea hundred each, and the list was completed withsmalleramounts. A company of thirty men volunteered without delay, to accompany Sheriff Van Hagen to Carson Valley, and conyey the arms of the Nevada Rifle company. Forty Sharpe’s Rifles were put up for transportation, besides some of the volunteers preferred errrying their own arms. A want of caps became apparent.— The city could not supply them of the proper A dispatch to Sacramento had the effect to puta quantity on the road by pony express. The volunteers, however, became impatient, and put themselves on the road, all mounted, at 2 o'clock at night, leaving one of their number to take along the caps when they should arrive. The caps came to hand at about 6 o'clock in the morning, having made the trip from Sacramento in eight hours. Mr. O. T. Ganong was the express rider. A difficulty had been experienced in the scarcity of horses for the use of thecompany. Butthrough the exertions of Mr. Birdseye a few more men were sent on in the morning to overtake the others. It is proper to say that the volunteers were detained from marching at almost a moment’s warning by the want of caps and cartridges. To supply the latter a party of men put themselves to work in the gun-. smith shop of Z. P. Davisand by two o’clock . alarge quantity of cartridges were manu} factured, when the company immediately took to their horses and left. size. A report was circulated in town that a company was to leave Placerville for the scene of waron Sunday evening, that companies from Sacramento and Benicia were also in readiness to march, and that Capt. Ager, of Downieville, had telegraphed for three Sierra companies to proceed over the . mountains at once. Au express had been . sent from Carson City to Honey Lake, asking assistance from the U.S. troops sta-. tioned at that place. From all accounts it Utah were in a state of alarm, fearing the success, would come down upon the settle. One dispatch . from Virginia City said there were men enough there forany emergency, but an utter want of arms and munitions of war.— Gov. Downey was absent from the seat of. order troops to procecd outside the State . It behocved the people to actin When distress called for assistance against a sayage foe, it did not become us, far from the } scene of disaster, to judge of the Indian limits. the emergency. their brethren in character and weigh the probabilities of the worst fears of supplicants for aid being realized. There might be an unreasonable panic. It was saferto lend the assistance desired and judge of the necessity after. Californians with a spirit worthy . ward. of them responded to the call of their brethren in Utah. Probably one thousand stand of arms have been poured into our neigh. boring Territory ere this, sufficient for any emergency. The causes of this difficulty which has reernment—a fine that was returned to him . 0Ur citizens undoubtedly lie primarily with without delay by the citizens of New Orleans.

Pasture and hunting grounds by the whites, It was a barren victory undertaken for personal advantages. We shall call to your memory the fact that Douglas at first gave in his adhesion to the English Bill, but was forced by Broderick to denounce it. We shall try to remind you that Douglas repudiated Broderick, Forney, and all the brave . hearts who stood by him in the hour of tria, at the first opportunity, and that when ;the Senator from California fell, Douglas had not the manliness to pay a tribute to the memory of his bravest and staunchest friend. Magnanimous hearts are ever true to friendship. Weshall endeavor at no distant period to show the hollowness of your favorite’s doctrines, which we sum up now ina few words for you to ponder on till then: He holds the slaveholder nas the right to j that the people there have the power to kick them out. What sort of a right is }that? And here lies your great principle of take his negroes into the Territories, but; and were urgent that a portion of the stock of the Americans should be removed. Not long since, if report be true, a scamp with a white face rode into the camp of the PahUtes and wantonly shot down and killed Winnemucka, the head chief of the tribe. Murders of whites for revenge followed, of course. A company of one hundred men proceeded to chastise the Indians for these }murders. They were on their way in search of the savages when they were suddenly surrounded, overpowered and massacred. This appears to be the story in brief. The fault in the first instance is attributable to the American Government in not providing a proper officer with efficient means to adjust difficulties between the whites and Indians in Western Utah, and hold them in icheck. An understanding might have been had with the savages long ago, and a treaty made of mutual advantage to both races. The partial success of the Indians may now require a severe lesson to teach them their i hid from the reporter's view. . ion says, itis the duty of the general govyvent their vengeance on any Indian they may meet, be he friend or foe. A Shoshone confederation of Indian tribés and a bloody . savage war, suck as finds scarcely a parallel . in American history, Thetribes to the north-east of us are a noble ace of men, large, powerful, brave, and “well supplied with horses and arms. They know every inch of ground and can retreat to a hundred strong holds along the eastern borders of California and Oregon, or on the deserts, where the whites can only come through much suffering and expense. The natives can live upon roots, grass, grasshoppers, or any thing which chance may offer for food, sweeping on fleet horses from one spot to another, while the whites must always be encumbered with baggage and stores. The Indians, too, will never fight except they have the advantage of placc or numbers, and the snot fora battle they will always select for themselves. Thus we conceive the want of a proper agent of the government in Western Utah, to temporvize and rule the hour to be great. Heenan & Sayers. The taajor part of the account heretofore published of the great fight of Heenan and Sayers for the championship of England is confirmed by the last Pony. Full accounts both by English and American authorities are given in the number of the Sacramento Union for Wednesday. The reports vary considerably, as might have been expected considering the national feelings engendered. The American side is given by Geo. Wilkes in his Spirit of the Times, and reports that a.shameful interference was made by the British crowd on and after the thirty-seventh round. A cry of ‘Police” was raised in order to distract Heenan who was a stranger and Hable to be disconcerted. Several policemen were present, Wilkes says, and manifested no disposition to interfere. The cry was raised to give Sayers the advantage when ina failing condition. Wilkes reports fortytwo distinet rounds. Bell's Life in London, gives but thirty-seven, when it says the police were discovered and an excitemant ensued which caused the combattants to be . Wilkes says there was dishonorable treatment by the British throughout the last five rounds, while Bell's Life charges Heenan with unprofessional actions. Both accounts leave no other impression than that Heenan is the superior man of the two. Heenan became maddened with the treatment he re. ceived and gave the friends of Sayers who . interfered to save their champion from his blows a few for their pains. knocks from his mawleys On the last round reported by Wilkes, Sayers not coming to time when called and refusing to throw up token of Heenan walked up to him while sitting on the knee . of his second and gave him a farewell . knock when a free fight ensued, and the . great and much talked of combat for the} the sponge in defeat, ‘ , . champion s belt ended. It seems evident . from the accounts of the fight that it will not be renewed. Popctar Soverrtaxty Testep.—The time . has arrived when the Dongias-Pugh doct. rine of popular sovereignty is being tested. The exponent of that doctrine, the Sacra. mento Union, sometime last year assumed . the position that society alone was sovereign; that the people of a Territory were really an independent community, outside the pale of the American Constitution, and . if sovereign, of course, were subject to none of its benefits or restrictions. Now the Un. ernment to defend Western Utah against the Indians. If society is sover. eign and independent, what right has the; general government to interfere in the affairs of the society on our eastern border? Uow is our government obligated to protect a sovereign and independent community ? These are questions the people will ask, and , which the Union will not answer. Mum's How so?

L.W. WILLIAMS, A. H. PARKER, GEO. 8. HUPP, Committee. Popvtanity vs. InteLtect.—The Hydraulic . Press contains the following sensible paragraph: . “Mrs. RK. W. Farnham, the authoress of seve. ral volumes, and a woman of too much intellect to be popularly appreciated, intends to lecture at the Bay, upon the subject of ** Woman, her position and future rank in society.” Her lectures ; before the Woman’s Hearth Club, in New York, . were commended by some of the best of her} sex.” The Press has found the key to the non-suecess . of some of the best men in the United 8 It has been noticeable, especially in Californie, . . that the very worst class of men attain position and preferment at the hands of the m —t voters—the motive power of our gov the people. For the truth of this aaser have but to refer to our -L end our best men to the Levislati Cer uot; it seems that the very scum and dre . ety are picked up and put into offices of} ynorand trust. Whyis it? Because inteliect . is at adiscount and rowdyism and b’hoyism rules the day, and the man who can drink the most . . whisky, treat oftenest, swear hardest and com. mit all sorts of little vices, is the most popular and highly esteemed. A superior mind must expect to be neglected by his fellow-men, if hlets them alone. But let such a mind attempt to instruct them, to correct their errors, and they turn his enemies ; but should he dare to expose their hypocrisy and vives, he is sure to be the butt of their persecutions No man can be pleased with what he cannot see and understand. We hope for a better state of things in this State ere many years have passed over our heads.—Calaveras Chron. . Dovraie—Drvecen.—A scientific amateur was brought to a fearful account, the other day, and probably learned something by it. He dissolved a quantity of Cream of Tartar in a glass of water, and complacently swallowed it. The druggist was tired of this outside practice. He . turned suddenly and asked Amateur, with the proper display of agitation, if he had swallowed anything from that Cream o’ Tartar jar! !— *Y-e-e-s-!’ tremblingly replied the Amateur— ‘W-h-h-y-i-?? ‘Hell’s before you! here! swallow this, quick !—as Julia says, po 1T! nor leave the task to m-ee/’ and Druggy handed him about fourteen pounds of Ipecac, mixed into a gruel with soapy water from the wash-dish.— Amateur drank, and drank, and drank—till his belt was full, The Ipecac did its work, and left our friend an empty stomach, and face as white as old Mr. Hamlet’s ghost. Finally, when satisfied that there was nothing left in him, he asked, in gentle, dove-like accents, what was in that jar. ‘Nothing but Cream o’ Tartar,’ says Druggy ; ‘but it’s mine; and I don’t make any charge for that Ipacac.’ Our friend was too weak to fight; was barely able to withdraw his custom—whiech he did.—Sierra Dem.
