Fire Encine Co.—An effort is being made with what probability of suecess we are not informed, to organize an engine company in this city. We are glad to see any measures taken to secure the property of the citizens against fire. Too much precaution can not be had. Any kind of preventative or check upon the devouring element is to be gladly welcomed. But we are almost certain that a fire engine can do but little good in time of need in such a town as ours. The great thing is wanting after all the machines have been obtained and perfection in their use reached. The fact must be evident to all that there is no water in quantities sufiicient to check any considerable conflagration. To extinguish one burning building would exhaust any five reservoirs of water in the city with which we are acquainted. Our wells hold no body of water, and the pipes with which the town is maialy supplied are so small that all the water they discharge taken together would not feed one engine. The only resource in case of a fire of longer duration than half an hour,isthe ravines, and the water of these is so loaded with dirt and gravel that the nozzle of a hose pipe would be in danger of beingchoked at the worst moment rendering the engine useless. Dependence upon a machine at sucha time might be disastrous, as it would prevent taking other and safer methods of extinguishing the fiery clement. The only method that can be adopted to give security to the town, is to construct permanent water works and supply the streets with hydrants at convenient distances. To these. hose can be attached and a burning district deluged with water in a moment’s time.— We have all the natural advantages of location that a place could desire. A reservoir of good capacity upen one of the hills to the north of the town, and large and substantial pipes ramifying to all our streets would give a permanence and security to property when all other expedients fail. Such works are expensive, but they are durable and to be relied on when the hour of trial does arrive. AMERICAN MEETING aT OmEGA.—A fine audience collected at Omega to listen to T. B. McFarland and H. C. Gardiner, Esqs., on Thursday night of last week. The oceasion was graced with the presence of quite a number of ladies.— ‘Fhisis one of the auspicious cmens of the eanvass. The ladies all over the country are lending their influence to the cuuse of Fillmore, Donelson and the nion. Cees The meeting was a very enthusiastic one, and has left its mark on the minds of the citizens of Omega, which will last silLafter the election. The Americans of the place are confident of the success of their ticket. . Bucuanan’s Lerrer.—As was predictedin effect some time since, a letter adapted tothe me:zidian of California comes from James Buchanan just, too late to be republished in the Atlantic States prior to the election. The prediction was that Honest John Bigler would make his advent among us on the eve of election freighted with such documents to prove Buchanan sound on the railroad question spite the Cincinnati Platform. The prophecy has been fulfilled in a different shape, though the effect and intent is the same. Were the Democrats men of reading and reflection, it were possible to give them some work to do, to reconcile the apparent inconsistencies in the course of their candidate for the Presidency. But as they are bound to go anything blind to which the name of Democracy is attached, itis probable that the clearest conviction of double deahng on his part will have no effect on the minds of that stripe of men who are bound up in party so strongly that Satan himself would be cordially supported if he could show the totem of the locofuco tribe on his breast. Yet it is strange that reading men and journalists, too, will publish the letter of Buchanan to B. F. Washington, and laud it as an excellent document. They must be cognizant of the fact that Buchanan has declared he was no longer himself but the Democratic platform—that he could add no plank to the platform, nor take one away. There is no railroad plank in the Cincinnati platform, and why does James Buchanan add one for California on the eve of the election? Either he never made the speech imputed to him and published in Democratic prints as orthodox, he never wrote the letter to Washington, or he is a most infamous trickster and unworthy the suffrages of every honest man. Buchanan is the favorite of Henry A. Wise, who is death on the railroad and understands his candidate to be the same. He was nominated by Virginia, and according to Mr. Brent, the price of the vote of the Old Dominion was hostility to the railroad. ‘The South understands him to be sound upon the question.— Buchanan himself knows that should he openly profess himself ia favor of the great work he would be as openly repudiated by the South. If he is an honorable man he wil not by his own instrumentality occupy a double position, which if his Washington letter be true, he is weocuring for himself The locofocos can take either horn of the dilemma. That he is adding a plank to the platform, or least expressing opinions upon a constitutional question on which the South is already committed adverse to the sentiments of the Washington letter, Buchanan well knows. He knows that a public avowal of such opinions would slaughter him among his now most devoted political friends. Yet, here isa letter over his signature evidently designed for a California market, and coming so late that no ill effects can accrue from it in the anti-railroad States. Is it not suspicious ? There are men of excellent judgment who are thoroughly convinced that the letter isa base and infamous forgery.— They believe Buchanan a man of honor, and consequently no such electioneering trick would be resorted to by him. But they cannot have taken into consideration his past history. His snaky course in the “bargain and sale” slander defines the character of the man, and no further evidence is wanted. But the damnable fraud he perpetrated on Mr. Clay, in Pennsylvania, in 1844, is additional testimony that he is given to low trickery and cunning to which no upright man will stoop. Indeed, his reputation in this respect is so well established that hundreds of men who despise the administration of Pierce and its endorsement by the Cincinnati platform, will vote for him for the sole reason that they believe he will prove treacherous tothe principles he is pledged in the platform to carry cut. They look back upon the pledges and promises of Franklin Pierce, by which he obtained the Presidential chair—all violated in one short year. Is James Buchanana more reliable man than he was? No! on the contrary, less to be trusted. Pierce, it is true, had fainted and fallen from his horse in Mexico, but no one supposed he would weaken in the fulfillment of his pledges on assuming the reins of government, and fall from his high estate. He had givena boy a cent to buy candy, but none indulged the idea that he would give a sop to the agitationists so soon with which to purchase a dissolution of the Republic. But Buchanan has been a moral trator all his life, and cannot, even now, on the confines of his earthly and political tomb, help indulging his natural propensities. He must write a letter to the people of California, and traitorize to Virginia. New Store.—Mr. Thomas Brady has opened a new dry goods store on the corner of Commercial and Pine streets, where he has a large and fine assortment of goods of every description open, direct from the East. Ladies and gentlemen would do well to read his adverState SuPERINTENDENT OF PuBLic Instavetion.—Itis to be regreted that the election of some officers is not disconnected with a partisan canvass. It were desirable that Judges and some other public officers, whose duties are anything but political in their nature, could be elected at a separate election from one where party exeitement prevails to such an extent as to warp the reason, or at least to cause the people to overlook the lesser but nevertheless very important officers to be filled at the same time. Inthe present canvass the office of Superintendent of Public Instruction— an important position—is almost entirely overlooked. Those few of our population who are directly interested in the cause of education, are anxious to see a man occupying the place who has all the requisites to fill it. But beyond these few, the eyes of the people are too much fixed upon those offices, which are commonly considered higher and more honorable. Yet where, in reality, is there a more honorable place than to superintend the education of the youth of the Republic ? Party lines, whenever the man is presented for such a position, ought to be broken, and every freeman should vote, as becomes him, for the most competent candidate. It is bad enough to be held in the leading strings of party when political offices are at stake, but it is outrageous to level a blow at the rising generation to spite political enemies. The office of Superintendent of Public Instruction, to men of families, is one of the most important in the State. Itisa place in which the well being of all society is largely involved, for itis cheaper to furnish moral and mental culture for the young, than bars and bolts afterward. It cannot be denied that the candidates of the Republican and Democratic parties for Superintendent of Common Schools, are politicians, and were nominated, not on account of their peculiar qualifications for the office, but because they were considered popular men and would add strength to the tickets. But the American nominee happens to be ajdifferent sort of man. No one has taken a more lively interest in the cause of education, and noone is more deserving of the people. The office ought to be bestowed upon the one who can render the most effective good to the cause of education. The habits, tastes, and preoccupation of H. B. Janes are sure indexes of his fitness over both his competitors for the office to which he has been nominated. As an indication of the estimation in which Mr. Janes is held by those who know him best we give the fact that the Eve. Bulletin, Pacific, Post and Town Talk, all neutral papers, have endorsed him as the proper man for Superintendent of Public Instruction. Once upon a time, the whigs of this State in Convention assembled, went outside of their party and nominated Hon. Sherman Day for Superintendent. No one doubted that he was better qualified than Paul K. Hubbs, his competitor, but blind partisan feelings prevailed and he was defeated by the party to which he belonged. The Americans piesent to-day a superior candidate.— We hope to record a different fate for him. American MEETINGS.—The County was stumped at three separate places on Monday evening. Col. Peyton addressed a very large and enthusiastic crowd at San Juan, Col. Wood spoke to a fine audience at Orleans Flat and Hon. B. C. Whitman was honored with a splendid turn out at Rough and Ready. A smart little escort met Col. Peyton at Montezuma with a band of music and aceompanied hin to San Juan. The sight on entering the town was a_ beautiful one. Flags were flying and banners stretched across the street on which were painted “Welcome to Balie Peyton’ and numerous patriotic sentiments. Three stirriug cheers greeted the Col. on alighting from his carriage. In the evening a torch light procession marched through the town witha large number of finely gotten up transparencies with appropriate devices and sertimentsupon them, Everything was in excellent taste. The stand was roofed with the star spangled banner, and about twenty ladies took their seats upon the balcony in front to listen to the speech of Col. Peyton. The evening was quite cold but the eloquence of the orator, and the fund of anecdote which he has ever at hand to illustrate a point, kept a thousand men on their feet and attentive for more than two hours. This was the largest meeting ever at San Juan, and nothing could exceed it in enthusiasm. The meeting at Orleans Flat was addressed by Hon. E. F. Burton, Mr. Ely and Cunnard, one of our candidates for the Assembly, besides Col. Wood. The affair passed off gloriously. <A gentle man who was present gives us such an enthusiastic account of the event, that we dare not publish it for fear it is over drawn.

San Franciseo may be aptly compared to a nest of hornets, whose natural state is a dull one, but every row and then some exciteable boy . comes along and pokes it-with a stick, and the consequence is a general agitation and confusion; so here, the stick is represented by the steamers, and the temporary excitement and irritation are comparatively the same in both cases. Political news commands most attention, and the groundless reports or suppositions of most any bareboned old hack stirs up a greater feeling than the revolution in China or the diplomatic thunder of France and England against the serio-comic barbarities of Bomba. The Sierra Nevada arrived yesterday, and reports that prominent men of the Democratic party are urging upon Mr. Buchanan his withdrawal in favor of Fillmore, as the only sure means of defeating Fremont. The election of the first is of less consequence to that party than the defeat of the latter, hence this course. Should Mr. Buchanan throw up his nomination, the aspect of the race will be changed, and if we could see a future number of the Spiritof the Times, we would probably see something like the following announcement under the head of “On Dit in the sporting world:” “A long pending race has just come off on the Union Course, and owing to the over confidence and mismanagement of the owners, two horses who were run for the first time have yielded the contest to one of our well tried favorites on the Presidential course. The defeated nags, owing to their hard mouths, were compelled to carry weight, and were so tied down and harnessed up that over this course, in its present rough state, they failed to meet the expectations of their backers ; in fact, one was taken suddenly lame just before the first heat, and was withdrawn, paying forfeit. Fillmore. the winner, was entered to go as he pleased—Young America, who handled the ribbons, being dressed in the same suit of silver-gray in which he won the field in 1848, Fremont under the saddle, was tooled by a Black Republican, wearing a liberty-cap and jacket of alternate red and white stripes, sixteen in number; and Buchanan was to have been driven before an emigrant wagon by a man in a yellow rest. The track, owing to the mismanagement of those in charge of it heretofore, was in . a bad state, and consequently the . powers of the winner were shown to advantage. But one accident happened during the day, which was the breaking . down of the visitors’ stands, known as . the Cincinnati Platform. It did but lit. tle damage, however. The proprietors of Buchanan (gentlemen named P. Slavery, Esq., and Hon. Southern Rights,) are much displeased at the result, and threaten to abandon this course and establish another on a plantation of their own. Below we give a summary of the race: on her first voyage the 16th inst. Should she prove victorious, and she must be, her laurels will have to be carefully guarded, as the Cunard line are already building another first class vessel on the Clyde, which they consider a faster model than the Persia’s. The new ship is be called the “Scotia.” We are now on the eve of another contest for speed with the English, and our sporting men are looking with the utmost anxiety to see the result of the pending races between the horses running, Lecompte, Prior, and Prioress and their transatlantic rivals. These three horses are of the first class of American runners, and a defeat to them is a defeat to the American turf. A boldthrow truly, but fortune favors the brave.— They arrived in England safely, and in good condition. We shall hear from them soon. Hanns. District Covrt.—The Democrat of this week says “the result of the trial of George Lewis has caused considerable dissatisfaction in this place, Some of the most important witnesses were not examined, and the belief is very general that the case was not half prosecuted.” No greater falsehood has been putin print for many a month than this statement. We have heard of no dissatisfaction, and do not believe that any considerable number of men can be found in this community who are dissatisfied with the verdict. The statement that some of the most important witnesses were not examined, amounts to this: A subpeena was out a week in search of Charles Kent, and every effort was made by the prosecuting attorney to obtain him. The counsel for the people distinetly stated in his closing address to the court and jury, that all his efforts to bring forward a witness for the prosecution were unavailing, but that the fault did not belong to him. There is no truth in the assertion that “tLe belief is very general that the case was not half prosecuted.” Every member of the bar cognizant of the facts in the case, will acquit the prosecuting officer of any direliction of duty. We are told by men of all parties that no blame can be attached to Mr. Sargent for the verdict of the jury. It is well known that from the first he took more than ordinary interest in procuring a conviction. When an attempt was made to procure admittance to bail for the prisoner, the District Attorney went to Downieville, before the District Court, at his own expense, for the purpose of preventing it. On the day of trial, after exerting himself to the utmost in obtaining evidence, he addressed the court . and jury in two energetie appeals, occupying in the aggregate near three hours in their delivery. The statement of the Democrat is intended as a stab at a man who, whatever may be said of him politically, is a very zealous and meritorious public officer. Union Course. Tuesday, November 4th, 1856.

But the Globe goes farther, and says his cotemporary filches from his columns without the usual acknowledgment, (“Who steals from either, steals trash”—Shuks.,) and last week, to get whereon to hang his hat, the “Items man” of the paper invents an incident on Sansome street, and clothes it in a son-ewhat poetieal garb. The Bulletin “bit,” of eourse, and after stripping off a few of the flowers, published the main points as a “true bill.” The Glode threatens an evening edition, and I doubt not, the venders of paper and printers’ ink are pleased.

Fire Encine Co.—An effort is being made with what probability of suecess we are not informed, to organize an engine company in this city. We are glad to see any measures taken to secure the property of the citizens against fire. Too much precaution can not be had. Any kind of preventative or check upon the devouring element is to be gladly welcomed. But we are almost certain that a fire engine can do but little good in time of need in such a town as ours. The great thing is wanting after all the machines have been obtained and perfection in their use reached. The fact must be evident to all that there is no water in quantities sufiicient to check any considerable conflagration. To extinguish one burning building would exhaust any five reservoirs of water in the city with which we are acquainted. Our wells hold no body of water, and the pipes with which the town is maialy supplied are so small that all the water they discharge taken together would not feed one engine. The only resource in case of a fire of longer duration than half an hour,isthe ravines, and the water of these is so loaded with dirt and gravel that the nozzle of a hose pipe would be in danger of beingchoked at the worst moment rendering the engine useless. Dependence upon a machine at sucha time might be disastrous, as it would prevent taking other and safer methods of extinguishing the fiery clement. The only method that can be adopted to give security to the town, is to construct permanent water works and supply the streets with hydrants at convenient distances. To these. hose can be attached and a burning district deluged with water in a moment’s time.— We have all the natural advantages of location that a place could desire. A reservoir of good capacity upen one of the hills to the north of the town, and large and substantial pipes ramifying to all our streets would give a permanence and security to property when all other expedients fail. Such works are expensive, but they are durable and to be relied on when the hour of trial does arrive. AMERICAN MEETING aT OmEGA.—A fine audience collected at Omega to listen to T. B. McFarland and H. C. Gardiner, Esqs., on Thursday night of last week. The oceasion was graced with the presence of quite a number of ladies.— ‘Fhisis one of the auspicious cmens of the eanvass. The ladies all over the country are lending their influence to the cuuse of Fillmore, Donelson and the nion. Cees The meeting was a very enthusiastic one, and has left its mark on the minds of the citizens of Omega, which will last silLafter the election. The Americans of the place are confident of the success of their ticket. . Bucuanan’s Lerrer.—As was predictedin effect some time since, a letter adapted tothe me:zidian of California comes from James Buchanan just, too late to be republished in the Atlantic States prior to the election. The prediction was that Honest John Bigler would make his advent among us on the eve of election freighted with such documents to prove Buchanan sound on the railroad question spite the Cincinnati Platform. The prophecy has been fulfilled in a different shape, though the effect and intent is the same. Were the Democrats men of reading and reflection, it were possible to give them some work to do, to reconcile the apparent inconsistencies in the course of their candidate for the Presidency. But as they are bound to go anything blind to which the name of Democracy is attached, itis probable that the clearest conviction of double deahng on his part will have no effect on the minds of that stripe of men who are bound up in party so strongly that Satan himself would be cordially supported if he could show the totem of the locofuco tribe on his breast. Yet it is strange that reading men and journalists, too, will publish the letter of Buchanan to B. F. Washington, and laud it as an excellent document. They must be cognizant of the fact that Buchanan has declared he was no longer himself but the Democratic platform—that he could add no plank to the platform, nor take one away. There is no railroad plank in the Cincinnati platform, and why does James Buchanan add one for California on the eve of the election? Either he never made the speech imputed to him and published in Democratic prints as orthodox, he never wrote the letter to Washington, or he is a most infamous trickster and unworthy the suffrages of every honest man. Buchanan is the favorite of Henry A. Wise, who is death on the railroad and understands his candidate to be the same. He was nominated by Virginia, and according to Mr. Brent, the price of the vote of the Old Dominion was hostility to the railroad. ‘The South understands him to be sound upon the question.— Buchanan himself knows that should he openly profess himself ia favor of the great work he would be as openly repudiated by the South. If he is an honorable man he wil not by his own instrumentality occupy a double position, which if his Washington letter be true, he is weocuring for himself The locofocos can take either horn of the dilemma. That he is adding a plank to the platform, or least expressing opinions upon a constitutional question on which the South is already committed adverse to the sentiments of the Washington letter, Buchanan well knows. He knows that a public avowal of such opinions would slaughter him among his now most devoted political friends. Yet, here isa letter over his signature evidently designed for a California market, and coming so late that no ill effects can accrue from it in the anti-railroad States. Is it not suspicious ? There are men of excellent judgment who are thoroughly convinced that the letter isa base and infamous forgery.— They believe Buchanan a man of honor, and consequently no such electioneering trick would be resorted to by him. But they cannot have taken into consideration his past history. His snaky course in the “bargain and sale” slander defines the character of the man, and no further evidence is wanted. But the damnable fraud he perpetrated on Mr. Clay, in Pennsylvania, in 1844, is additional testimony that he is given to low trickery and cunning to which no upright man will stoop. Indeed, his reputation in this respect is so well established that hundreds of men who despise the administration of Pierce and its endorsement by the Cincinnati platform, will vote for him for the sole reason that they believe he will prove treacherous tothe principles he is pledged in the platform to carry cut. They look back upon the pledges and promises of Franklin Pierce, by which he obtained the Presidential chair—all violated in one short year. Is James Buchanana more reliable man than he was? No! on the contrary, less to be trusted. Pierce, it is true, had fainted and fallen from his horse in Mexico, but no one supposed he would weaken in the fulfillment of his pledges on assuming the reins of government, and fall from his high estate. He had givena boy a cent to buy candy, but none indulged the idea that he would give a sop to the agitationists so soon with which to purchase a dissolution of the Republic. But Buchanan has been a moral trator all his life, and cannot, even now, on the confines of his earthly and political tomb, help indulging his natural propensities. He must write a letter to the people of California, and traitorize to Virginia. New Store.—Mr. Thomas Brady has opened a new dry goods store on the corner of Commercial and Pine streets, where he has a large and fine assortment of goods of every description open, direct from the East. Ladies and gentlemen would do well to read his adverState SuPERINTENDENT OF PuBLic Instavetion.—Itis to be regreted that the election of some officers is not disconnected with a partisan canvass. It were desirable that Judges and some other public officers, whose duties are anything but political in their nature, could be elected at a separate election from one where party exeitement prevails to such an extent as to warp the reason, or at least to cause the people to overlook the lesser but nevertheless very important officers to be filled at the same time. Inthe present canvass the office of Superintendent of Public Instruction— an important position—is almost entirely overlooked. Those few of our population who are directly interested in the cause of education, are anxious to see a man occupying the place who has all the requisites to fill it. But beyond these few, the eyes of the people are too much fixed upon those offices, which are commonly considered higher and more honorable. Yet where, in reality, is there a more honorable place than to superintend the education of the youth of the Republic ? Party lines, whenever the man is presented for such a position, ought to be broken, and every freeman should vote, as becomes him, for the most competent candidate. It is bad enough to be held in the leading strings of party when political offices are at stake, but it is outrageous to level a blow at the rising generation to spite political enemies. The office of Superintendent of Public Instruction, to men of families, is one of the most important in the State. Itisa place in which the well being of all society is largely involved, for itis cheaper to furnish moral and mental culture for the young, than bars and bolts afterward. It cannot be denied that the candidates of the Republican and Democratic parties for Superintendent of Common Schools, are politicians, and were nominated, not on account of their peculiar qualifications for the office, but because they were considered popular men and would add strength to the tickets. But the American nominee happens to be ajdifferent sort of man. No one has taken a more lively interest in the cause of education, and noone is more deserving of the people. The office ought to be bestowed upon the one who can render the most effective good to the cause of education. The habits, tastes, and preoccupation of H. B. Janes are sure indexes of his fitness over both his competitors for the office to which he has been nominated. As an indication of the estimation in which Mr. Janes is held by those who know him best we give the fact that the Eve. Bulletin, Pacific, Post and Town Talk, all neutral papers, have endorsed him as the proper man for Superintendent of Public Instruction. Once upon a time, the whigs of this State in Convention assembled, went outside of their party and nominated Hon. Sherman Day for Superintendent. No one doubted that he was better qualified than Paul K. Hubbs, his competitor, but blind partisan feelings prevailed and he was defeated by the party to which he belonged. The Americans piesent to-day a superior candidate.— We hope to record a different fate for him. American MEETINGS.—The County was stumped at three separate places on Monday evening. Col. Peyton addressed a very large and enthusiastic crowd at San Juan, Col. Wood spoke to a fine audience at Orleans Flat and Hon. B. C. Whitman was honored with a splendid turn out at Rough and Ready. A smart little escort met Col. Peyton at Montezuma with a band of music and aceompanied hin to San Juan. The sight on entering the town was a_ beautiful one. Flags were flying and banners stretched across the street on which were painted “Welcome to Balie Peyton’ and numerous patriotic sentiments. Three stirriug cheers greeted the Col. on alighting from his carriage. In the evening a torch light procession marched through the town witha large number of finely gotten up transparencies with appropriate devices and sertimentsupon them, Everything was in excellent taste. The stand was roofed with the star spangled banner, and about twenty ladies took their seats upon the balcony in front to listen to the speech of Col. Peyton. The evening was quite cold but the eloquence of the orator, and the fund of anecdote which he has ever at hand to illustrate a point, kept a thousand men on their feet and attentive for more than two hours. This was the largest meeting ever at San Juan, and nothing could exceed it in enthusiasm. The meeting at Orleans Flat was addressed by Hon. E. F. Burton, Mr. Ely and Cunnard, one of our candidates for the Assembly, besides Col. Wood. The affair passed off gloriously. <A gentle man who was present gives us such an enthusiastic account of the event, that we dare not publish it for fear it is over drawn.

San Franciseo may be aptly compared to a nest of hornets, whose natural state is a dull one, but every row and then some exciteable boy . comes along and pokes it-with a stick, and the consequence is a general agitation and confusion; so here, the stick is represented by the steamers, and the temporary excitement and irritation are comparatively the same in both cases. Political news commands most attention, and the groundless reports or suppositions of most any bareboned old hack stirs up a greater feeling than the revolution in China or the diplomatic thunder of France and England against the serio-comic barbarities of Bomba. The Sierra Nevada arrived yesterday, and reports that prominent men of the Democratic party are urging upon Mr. Buchanan his withdrawal in favor of Fillmore, as the only sure means of defeating Fremont. The election of the first is of less consequence to that party than the defeat of the latter, hence this course. Should Mr. Buchanan throw up his nomination, the aspect of the race will be changed, and if we could see a future number of the Spiritof the Times, we would probably see something like the following announcement under the head of “On Dit in the sporting world:” “A long pending race has just come off on the Union Course, and owing to the over confidence and mismanagement of the owners, two horses who were run for the first time have yielded the contest to one of our well tried favorites on the Presidential course. The defeated nags, owing to their hard mouths, were compelled to carry weight, and were so tied down and harnessed up that over this course, in its present rough state, they failed to meet the expectations of their backers ; in fact, one was taken suddenly lame just before the first heat, and was withdrawn, paying forfeit. Fillmore. the winner, was entered to go as he pleased—Young America, who handled the ribbons, being dressed in the same suit of silver-gray in which he won the field in 1848, Fremont under the saddle, was tooled by a Black Republican, wearing a liberty-cap and jacket of alternate red and white stripes, sixteen in number; and Buchanan was to have been driven before an emigrant wagon by a man in a yellow rest. The track, owing to the mismanagement of those in charge of it heretofore, was in . a bad state, and consequently the . powers of the winner were shown to advantage. But one accident happened during the day, which was the breaking . down of the visitors’ stands, known as . the Cincinnati Platform. It did but lit. tle damage, however. The proprietors of Buchanan (gentlemen named P. Slavery, Esq., and Hon. Southern Rights,) are much displeased at the result, and threaten to abandon this course and establish another on a plantation of their own. Below we give a summary of the race: on her first voyage the 16th inst. Should she prove victorious, and she must be, her laurels will have to be carefully guarded, as the Cunard line are already building another first class vessel on the Clyde, which they consider a faster model than the Persia’s. The new ship is be called the “Scotia.” We are now on the eve of another contest for speed with the English, and our sporting men are looking with the utmost anxiety to see the result of the pending races between the horses running, Lecompte, Prior, and Prioress and their transatlantic rivals. These three horses are of the first class of American runners, and a defeat to them is a defeat to the American turf. A boldthrow truly, but fortune favors the brave.— They arrived in England safely, and in good condition. We shall hear from them soon. Hanns. District Covrt.—The Democrat of this week says “the result of the trial of George Lewis has caused considerable dissatisfaction in this place, Some of the most important witnesses were not examined, and the belief is very general that the case was not half prosecuted.” No greater falsehood has been putin print for many a month than this statement. We have heard of no dissatisfaction, and do not believe that any considerable number of men can be found in this community who are dissatisfied with the verdict. The statement that some of the most important witnesses were not examined, amounts to this: A subpeena was out a week in search of Charles Kent, and every effort was made by the prosecuting attorney to obtain him. The counsel for the people distinetly stated in his closing address to the court and jury, that all his efforts to bring forward a witness for the prosecution were unavailing, but that the fault did not belong to him. There is no truth in the assertion that “tLe belief is very general that the case was not half prosecuted.” Every member of the bar cognizant of the facts in the case, will acquit the prosecuting officer of any direliction of duty. We are told by men of all parties that no blame can be attached to Mr. Sargent for the verdict of the jury. It is well known that from the first he took more than ordinary interest in procuring a conviction. When an attempt was made to procure admittance to bail for the prisoner, the District Attorney went to Downieville, before the District Court, at his own expense, for the purpose of preventing it. On the day of trial, after exerting himself to the utmost in obtaining evidence, he addressed the court . and jury in two energetie appeals, occupying in the aggregate near three hours in their delivery. The statement of the Democrat is intended as a stab at a man who, whatever may be said of him politically, is a very zealous and meritorious public officer. Union Course. Tuesday, November 4th, 1856.
