. suppose he must have labored severely THE JOUR =-—— COUNTY OFFICIAL PRESS. FRIDAY HORNING, SEPT. 24th, 185The Pacific Railroad. The S. F. National comes to us with a long bloviate articlé on the immediate . construction sof the Pacific Railroad, in which the usval ad captandum flattery of the party is quite plentiful. The National wants the people of the State to ery aloud and spare not till public sentiment is ablaze for the enterprize. We are not so sure that this course would add tothe accomplishment of the great work. There are, perhaps, not a dozen real citizens of the State, who are not anxious to have a railroad connection with the Eastern shores of the continent. Public sentiment here is warmly enlisted in the construction of the road and every man in Congress knows it. We have two Senators and the same number of Representatives at Washington who know it well, and were clected with the understanding that they wereto.do their utmost to oltain aid from the general government for the great work. An ‘mmense popular excitement by their constituency will not impress upon those agents of ours more strongly the necessity of the road or how much its eonstruction is desired. That we want it badly every body knows. the dignified Senator as well as the humblest citizen. There is no use then of making a great noise and fuss about our desires. since they are well understood. We have agents at Washington filled with enthusiasm on the subject, and panting for an opportunity, if we are to believe their professions, to identify their names with the movement. We have a President too whose professions in favor of the great interoceanie communication, ought at least to be as good as those tor We have even a great party in power, one of the planks of whose national platform is the building of a railroad from one ocean to the other. Squatter Sovereignty. It would seem with all these cireuinstances in our favor that we ought to rejoice in view of our prospects. We are precisely in the fix we have been flattered that we ought to be in, to obtain the road. A party, its President and four Representatives of our own in a Democratic Congress in which there are not altogether a half dozen men who are not committed in some way for the road, ought to give us full satisfaction. Tl ere is nothing to make our venerable President mad, in the character of cur late election. His waywardness has been humored toa whim. Every thing then looks smooth and encouraging in the way of the accomplishment of our hopes. It isa piece of folly to keep continually blustering that we have nothing to expect from the Black Republicans towards helping along the enterprise. Of. course, expectation extending into the future is nonsense, while we hare a rail road President, a,railroad Congress and sc mic eg ial ile nis isan tlie ie sadam a railroad party already in power. But, we must admit, it is somewhat remarkable, nay, passing strange, that General Taylor ten years ago favored the railroad, and he hada Democratic Congress to support him, but somehow . the road did’nt get much of a start duMillard Fillmere followed in the tracks of Taylor and-recommended the great national highway to the favorable consideration of like Democratic Congresses. ring his short administration. Something again stood in the way, and conthraed so during the entire term of Mr. Fillmore. Frank Pierce with his Democratie Congress failed to get the railroad under way, though we are led to The obstacle still most provokingly remained. to that end. There was a surplus of twenty millions in the Treasury, but the great railroad party were balked in their superhuman efforts to use it for the great object it is imagined they had af heart. But the Democratic party were bound to overcome allobstacles. They determined to have an Administration which could use the Treasury for railroad purposes. They got it. The money was obtained. ‘The provoking little obstacle that had foiled the entire power of the Fuderal guvernment was gloriously conquered. But, strange tu say, we haven’t a rail laid yet, and stranger still the Sriends of the railroad, the Democratic party, postponed the Railroad Bill last session and history says Dr. Pillgarlie, its distinguished author, didn't shed a tear] The truth is, an exhausted Treasury will be the excuse hereafter for further postponements, but this Administration is hypocritical in its professions, and never will, nor never means to build a Pacific Railroad, under the most favorable circumstances conceivable. It had rather pay one hundred millions for a strip of territory stocked with niggers, greasers and other bones of = thana dollar to benefit the country we already have,or to control the commerce of the world. Fruit in Tuolunne.—The editor of the Oolumbia Courier acknowledgss the receipt of a tomato measuring 17 inches round, and a pear weighing 293 ounces, both grown in Tuolumne county. _ _ » The Atiantic Cable. The most important message that ever was transmitted by telegraph is perhaps the contents of our extra of last week. There isin the single sentence “the Atlantic cable is laid,” the foundation for volumes of written history which shall redound to the honor of mankind. The electoral union of the Old World with the New marks the beginning of a new era in the annals of civilization. It is the dawning of «a brighter day upon the world. Nations and people are joined ina community of interests, and bound in enduring bonds ofiron. They are brought together by the annihilation of time; contact breaks down the selfish barriers and mingles for high and noble aims the efforts of nations for the advancement and true glory ofthe human race. We may confidently say that we are about to enter upon the long age of peace when Satan is bound for a thousand years. Teach the diversified families of mankind to have one common object and how to exchange civilities with each otler andthe chances of hostile misunderstandings are infinitely lessened ifnot entirely obliterated. The Atlantic cable just laid amid such universal rejoicing is but the picneer line of a grand electrical net work yet to encompass the globe. Every civilized nation must have access to a highway for thought and intelligence, not subject to the caprice of another.— The utility of the pioneer work will but incite enterprise till nations are made equalin their rights which is the tendency of every measure having within itself the means of conducing to the public gocd. Indomitable enterprise, even necessity. will push telegraphic lines across cur own continent scarcely before we are aware ofit; and we expect to see the day when incidents of life in India, Siberia, Brazil or will be spread upon the printed page the morning after their occurrence. We predict that the British possessions in India will be connected with the Australian colonies, and the whole be in electrical communication with the home government The success of the cable underlying the Atlantic proves the mighty work can be done and will be done. ‘The human mind and human efforts are infinite in progressive power. They need not be expected to stop in the career of glory upon which they have but just entered. While there is a substantial good to be attained mind will not relax its endeavors, nor science cease to assert her sway. Well may the nations rejoice at the consummation of the great enterprise.— It is an auspicious harbinger of the millennial day of “ peace on earth and good will to men.” Australia within ten ycars. Propccts oF THE Moun TraiNs.—We were presented on Tuesday with a peach by Mr. John Dunn, raised on his ranch on Rock ereck, which measured 13 inches in cireumference and weighed 18 ounces. It is a “secdling” from a pit obtained by Mre. Dunn of a sister in New Haven, Conn. Six peaches of the kind, which we saw in a basket together, weighed G pounds and two ounces, and the sight was wo:th beholding. It was the finest peach exhibition we ever had the pleasure cf seeing. The peach is slightly eling and has a similar appearance in color, &e., to “Crawfoid’s Early,’ but the flavor is superior to any peach we have metin the market. Mr. Dunn also presented us with two varieties, red and white, of very fine strawberries grown in his garden. Mr. TI’. Worthington, on the same day favored us with fine samples of purple figs, Catawba grapes, seedling peaches and Victoria Pie Plant, all products of his ranch between this place and Grass Valley. Mr. Worthington informs us that figs grow well without any protection or extra care in these mountains.— The kind presented us is from a stock brought from I'ranee, and seems to be well adapted to this ciimate. The Catawba grape flourishes here and is a prolific bearer. We have no hesitancy in saying that wine in considerable quanti‘ies will yet be manufactured in this county. Of the monstrous growth of Mr. Worthington’s Pie Plant we have had occasion to speak heretofore. He is probably the most successful cultivator of the plant in the State. These products show the mountains are not to be out-rivalled by the valleys in the production of fruits. In fact they may defy competition. ATLANTIC Papers. — We are again under obligations to Geo. W. Welch for a supply of Eastern papers in advance of all others ‘The same gentleman also furnishes us with regular State papers with most commendable dispatch. Cacironnts MinstReLs.—After playing to good houses for three nights of last week the California Minstrels disbanded on Saturday evening last. It is understood that some of the members of the troupe are to proceed East to see their friends, while others will proceed to Australia to add to their pile. New Firm.—Drs. Kilbourne and Kent are about to open anew Drug Store in the new brick building of the latter member of the firm, two doors above C. W. Young's jewelry store. nn The political news by the last steamers but confirms the predictions of every honest man converzant with the affairs of Kansas, and demonstrates to the satisfaction of the most stolid the utter shallowness of the pretensions of the Administration. The.voice of the people of Kansas had been most unequivocally expressed in elections prior to the last. It was but a mockery to submit to them a choice the second time, which*they had with almost one voice decided upon. The true statesmen of the country had so urged longago. The President was told by the men whom he had appointed to investigate Kansas affairs, that the Lecompton Constitution must inevitably be rejected. THe still must persist in insulting the people by thrusting the odious thing before them again coupled with a temptation upon. their honor, and again has the cheat, and bribe been thrown back in his teeth with an unanimity and indignation worthy ofa virtuous people. The foul and foetid mass of corruption thrust by Executive force and Federal interference under the noses of an abused people has been kicked back to fester and stink in the olfactories of its authors. And what has become of the congratulations of eur pot-house politicians ? The Kansas question is obsolete indeed ! Determined to see if the people are truly sovereign, Kansas is about to assemble another Constitutional Convention, and as sure as fate will again ask for adinission into the Union in spite of the restrictions of the English contrivance. The whole question is then again thrown wide open, and the country is in precisely the same condition in respect to the vexed issue she wasatthe opening of the last session of Congress, and we presume no one can be found with the impudence to say the Kansas question was obsolete then. The Administration is now in a dilemma. It cannot fail to make a most unsatisfactory exhibit of itself before the next Congress. Ifthe next application of Kansas for admission be spurned how can the Administration democracy face all their professions of love for popular sovereignty from the commencement of the canvass of 1856 down ‘o the convening of the last national Legislature? How will they reconcile the act with the much lauded principle, “the people a/one are sovereign’? or how will they dare to preach non-intervention longer? If Kansas is admitted what will become of that solemn pledge in the English bill “to keep her out and let her bleed” till a population of 93,420, or 120,000, shall demand admission. One horn of the dilemma Buchanan’s administration must Billy Long-ears, We are again compelled, not,‘however, without a full sense of the humiliation, to approach a most dirty sutject. The heading of this article is sufficient to denote the depths of degradation to which we are subjected. It isa painful task to be obliged to notice the wilful and continucd defamations of a mendacious ass, yet to such an unwilling pass are we brought. The Sacramento Mercury, of the 18th inst, among other expressions which just become that sheet, accuses us of once writing remarks not to the credit of the late Senator Ferguson; that he called us to an account for it and we “whined and begged off’ &c. We are also charged now that Ferguson is dead with saying against him what we dared not do while hewas living. ‘Thecharge of Black Republicanism is of course, very characteristicaily, spriukled in also The envious cuss too speaks of our elevation to avery honorable position to which he ass-pired, but could'nt come it. We will attend to Mr. Long-ears in a few words. He simply lies when he says we were ever called to an account by the deceased, and, of course, he lies like a dog when he says we ever begged off, or in any manner failed to stand up to any responsibility we ever incurred cither with Senator Ferguson or any other mortal man living or dead. ‘The intamous puppy knows he lies when he charges us with reflecting upon the conduct or character of Senator Fergusen since his decease. There hasnot a syllable of the kind escaped our pen, and Longears with even his meagre capacity for understanding anything, knows it. Here then are three malizious lies in a single article. And yet there is another falsehood. Thecharges us with Black Republicanism. Wecan overlook a misrepresentation of this kind, especially, when, as in this case, it arises froma want of good sense, or brains. The fact is, Deity has so constructed some minds that they can scarcely discriminate between black and white, and the editor of the Mercury happens to be one of this unfortunate class, .argl is entitled to pity instead of curses for his failings. He, positively, if we are to judge by his effusions, cannottell the differeuce bes tween a national, old, line Whig in principle and a modern Republican. One horn of a dilemma he must take, certainly. He either dont know the difference or he is guilty of maliciously lying in this respect also, After all, we ought not to look but for falsehood from such a souree. An egotistical ass who would go about ina pubinevitably take, and take to its discred. lic crowd where his shameless face is it, and sorrow. It has already committed errors enough to wreck it with an intelligent people. Wea shall wait patiently to see if the final leap it is about to take will nut wean from it even the vermin that have clung and fattened upon Federal power. To Business Men of the County. To build up and develop this portion of the State, it is conceded that nothing is so much needed as a railroad which shall empty out tke products of these mountains into the great central mar kets. We desire to present to capitalists every desirable and reliable inducement for the construction of such a read havying its terminus at this place, and would be pleased to receive from every business man in the county a statement of the amount of freight he receives or sends below, or the amount.of money he pays annually or within any stated period for freight. We desire, also, to obtain the number of passengers going from or coming to the county from the cities below, and all other statistics useful to our purpose. The statements of individuals furnishing us information on these very desirable points will be strictly confidential and only used so as to further the object we have in view, namely the construction of a ailroad from Nevada to the nearest point of intersection with any other road. Gentlemen who will enlist themselver to obtain the requisite statistics will confera great benefit, possibly, upon this portion of the State, and it may redound greatly to their own benefit. They will likewise confer a great favor upon us, which we will be most happy to acknowledge. ¥ ATLANTIC CaBLE.—A piece of that self same cable which lies in the deep sea two miles from the surface, and about which the world is making so much noise, can be seen at the jewelry store of C. W. Young. It consists of a central cluster of six copper wires surroundinga seventh. Around these is a thick coating of gutta percha encased by eighteen clusters ef iron wire similar to the central copper one, maRing 126 iron wires in all. The whole is enelosed in cotton thread dipped in tar. Call at the store and see the curiosity. Game —Since the game laws have been suspended gunshave again come into use, and amateur sportsmen are out taking time and things on the wing. Our markets begin to exhibit the beasts of the field and fowls of the air which are allowed to be fit for food by the Leviticallaw. — Ee The Jno L. Stephens carried away, on the 6th inst. 272 passengers, and $1,799,414 in treasure. not known, and heralding his own abilities importune an unsuspecting number to call for aman they had been led to believe had at least a little talent, and then repay their credulity by the substitution of so complete a satire upon intelligent humanity, as himself, might be expected to treat the world with lies i: place of truths. We happen to have never advocate] Republicanism of the present day. ‘The Republicans as a party are understood to be against the admission by Congress of any more Slave States under any citcumstances. This isthe only distinetive feature of the party which can with any propriety be pronounced not na tional. To the belief of this part of Republicanism we have never come. We opposed the election of Fremont and have never advocated the success of or voted a Republican ticket. But, for the benefit of the editor of the Mercury, we will say, that if we were compelled to choose between a gentleman of Republican proclivities, and a henpecked locofoco nincompoop like himself, we should turn with contempt from the latter, and most assuredly indicate a decided preference for the former. If the lying ass of the Mercury can find any authority in this confession to continne his silly charges of Black Republicanism, let the wretch make the anost of it. Ho, ror THE War.—The Nevada Rifles paraded last night preparatory forthe war. It has been currently reported, but with how much truth we are unable to say, that the company has been ordered to be in readiness to march against the murdering red skins of the north. There isnot a man in the ranks who will flinch a hair when he sees the hostile bullets coming. We predict the carnage will be of short duration after the Nevada Rifles are let loose on the savages a little while. Should the company take steps tu “sonorous metal blowing martial sounds,” county officials wiil be scarcer than we have ever known them since our county organization. District Court.—T he District Court will commence its next term on the 4th of October. Thesix men indicted for the murder of McMurtry at Grass Valley, we learn are cach to be tried separately which will probably exhaust a large share of the terth. q New York Thieves Arrived.-The following named operators arrived recently by the Sonora: George Smith, Jim Riley, Geo.

English: Dear Sir : Aware thatthe Convention for nominating a Democratic candidate for Congress in your district, will convene in a few days, I cannot refrain from expressing the hope that you may be the unanimous nominee of the convention ; if I lived in your district, and had a thousand votes, you should have them all.— Occupying the position you do, I consider it essential that you should succeed in obtaining the nomination. A failure in this would be regarded by me as a rebuke of my Administration. There may be some aspirant or aspirants for the positionin your way. If so, you may say to them that by giving you a clear track they will gain my favor, and may expect to be provided for in a suitable manner. If nominated, I will throw as much assistance into your district as you may desire. Our friend Hughes, I see, has had a hard road to hoe. He will be liberally sustained. Of this you may rest assur ed. Your friend, James BucHANAN. TEXAS GETTING ANTI-SLAVERY.--The last number of thea New Orleans Bee says: “There is scrious danger of the utter defeat of Southern hopes and aspirations . couching Texas,and that inthe very heart of the South, in the region of all others best adapted to the successful cultivation of Southern products, and to the consequent remunerating employment of slave labor, a feeling of settled oppositionto slavery exists, which, if not counteracted, will ultimately neutralize the entire benefit conferred by the act of 1850, and incorporate the largest, fin est,and most_fertile part of Texas into the family of free States.” f= When you bury animosity, don’t set a stone up over its grave, Dry Hives.—The shipment of hides from Nevada is becoming quite a good business.

. suppose he must have labored severely THE JOUR =-—— COUNTY OFFICIAL PRESS. FRIDAY HORNING, SEPT. 24th, 185The Pacific Railroad. The S. F. National comes to us with a long bloviate articlé on the immediate . construction sof the Pacific Railroad, in which the usval ad captandum flattery of the party is quite plentiful. The National wants the people of the State to ery aloud and spare not till public sentiment is ablaze for the enterprize. We are not so sure that this course would add tothe accomplishment of the great work. There are, perhaps, not a dozen real citizens of the State, who are not anxious to have a railroad connection with the Eastern shores of the continent. Public sentiment here is warmly enlisted in the construction of the road and every man in Congress knows it. We have two Senators and the same number of Representatives at Washington who know it well, and were clected with the understanding that they wereto.do their utmost to oltain aid from the general government for the great work. An ‘mmense popular excitement by their constituency will not impress upon those agents of ours more strongly the necessity of the road or how much its eonstruction is desired. That we want it badly every body knows. the dignified Senator as well as the humblest citizen. There is no use then of making a great noise and fuss about our desires. since they are well understood. We have agents at Washington filled with enthusiasm on the subject, and panting for an opportunity, if we are to believe their professions, to identify their names with the movement. We have a President too whose professions in favor of the great interoceanie communication, ought at least to be as good as those tor We have even a great party in power, one of the planks of whose national platform is the building of a railroad from one ocean to the other. Squatter Sovereignty. It would seem with all these cireuinstances in our favor that we ought to rejoice in view of our prospects. We are precisely in the fix we have been flattered that we ought to be in, to obtain the road. A party, its President and four Representatives of our own in a Democratic Congress in which there are not altogether a half dozen men who are not committed in some way for the road, ought to give us full satisfaction. Tl ere is nothing to make our venerable President mad, in the character of cur late election. His waywardness has been humored toa whim. Every thing then looks smooth and encouraging in the way of the accomplishment of our hopes. It isa piece of folly to keep continually blustering that we have nothing to expect from the Black Republicans towards helping along the enterprise. Of. course, expectation extending into the future is nonsense, while we hare a rail road President, a,railroad Congress and sc mic eg ial ile nis isan tlie ie sadam a railroad party already in power. But, we must admit, it is somewhat remarkable, nay, passing strange, that General Taylor ten years ago favored the railroad, and he hada Democratic Congress to support him, but somehow . the road did’nt get much of a start duMillard Fillmere followed in the tracks of Taylor and-recommended the great national highway to the favorable consideration of like Democratic Congresses. ring his short administration. Something again stood in the way, and conthraed so during the entire term of Mr. Fillmore. Frank Pierce with his Democratie Congress failed to get the railroad under way, though we are led to The obstacle still most provokingly remained. to that end. There was a surplus of twenty millions in the Treasury, but the great railroad party were balked in their superhuman efforts to use it for the great object it is imagined they had af heart. But the Democratic party were bound to overcome allobstacles. They determined to have an Administration which could use the Treasury for railroad purposes. They got it. The money was obtained. ‘The provoking little obstacle that had foiled the entire power of the Fuderal guvernment was gloriously conquered. But, strange tu say, we haven’t a rail laid yet, and stranger still the Sriends of the railroad, the Democratic party, postponed the Railroad Bill last session and history says Dr. Pillgarlie, its distinguished author, didn't shed a tear] The truth is, an exhausted Treasury will be the excuse hereafter for further postponements, but this Administration is hypocritical in its professions, and never will, nor never means to build a Pacific Railroad, under the most favorable circumstances conceivable. It had rather pay one hundred millions for a strip of territory stocked with niggers, greasers and other bones of = thana dollar to benefit the country we already have,or to control the commerce of the world. Fruit in Tuolunne.—The editor of the Oolumbia Courier acknowledgss the receipt of a tomato measuring 17 inches round, and a pear weighing 293 ounces, both grown in Tuolumne county. _ _ » The Atiantic Cable. The most important message that ever was transmitted by telegraph is perhaps the contents of our extra of last week. There isin the single sentence “the Atlantic cable is laid,” the foundation for volumes of written history which shall redound to the honor of mankind. The electoral union of the Old World with the New marks the beginning of a new era in the annals of civilization. It is the dawning of «a brighter day upon the world. Nations and people are joined ina community of interests, and bound in enduring bonds ofiron. They are brought together by the annihilation of time; contact breaks down the selfish barriers and mingles for high and noble aims the efforts of nations for the advancement and true glory ofthe human race. We may confidently say that we are about to enter upon the long age of peace when Satan is bound for a thousand years. Teach the diversified families of mankind to have one common object and how to exchange civilities with each otler andthe chances of hostile misunderstandings are infinitely lessened ifnot entirely obliterated. The Atlantic cable just laid amid such universal rejoicing is but the picneer line of a grand electrical net work yet to encompass the globe. Every civilized nation must have access to a highway for thought and intelligence, not subject to the caprice of another.— The utility of the pioneer work will but incite enterprise till nations are made equalin their rights which is the tendency of every measure having within itself the means of conducing to the public gocd. Indomitable enterprise, even necessity. will push telegraphic lines across cur own continent scarcely before we are aware ofit; and we expect to see the day when incidents of life in India, Siberia, Brazil or will be spread upon the printed page the morning after their occurrence. We predict that the British possessions in India will be connected with the Australian colonies, and the whole be in electrical communication with the home government The success of the cable underlying the Atlantic proves the mighty work can be done and will be done. ‘The human mind and human efforts are infinite in progressive power. They need not be expected to stop in the career of glory upon which they have but just entered. While there is a substantial good to be attained mind will not relax its endeavors, nor science cease to assert her sway. Well may the nations rejoice at the consummation of the great enterprise.— It is an auspicious harbinger of the millennial day of “ peace on earth and good will to men.” Australia within ten ycars. Propccts oF THE Moun TraiNs.—We were presented on Tuesday with a peach by Mr. John Dunn, raised on his ranch on Rock ereck, which measured 13 inches in cireumference and weighed 18 ounces. It is a “secdling” from a pit obtained by Mre. Dunn of a sister in New Haven, Conn. Six peaches of the kind, which we saw in a basket together, weighed G pounds and two ounces, and the sight was wo:th beholding. It was the finest peach exhibition we ever had the pleasure cf seeing. The peach is slightly eling and has a similar appearance in color, &e., to “Crawfoid’s Early,’ but the flavor is superior to any peach we have metin the market. Mr. Dunn also presented us with two varieties, red and white, of very fine strawberries grown in his garden. Mr. TI’. Worthington, on the same day favored us with fine samples of purple figs, Catawba grapes, seedling peaches and Victoria Pie Plant, all products of his ranch between this place and Grass Valley. Mr. Worthington informs us that figs grow well without any protection or extra care in these mountains.— The kind presented us is from a stock brought from I'ranee, and seems to be well adapted to this ciimate. The Catawba grape flourishes here and is a prolific bearer. We have no hesitancy in saying that wine in considerable quanti‘ies will yet be manufactured in this county. Of the monstrous growth of Mr. Worthington’s Pie Plant we have had occasion to speak heretofore. He is probably the most successful cultivator of the plant in the State. These products show the mountains are not to be out-rivalled by the valleys in the production of fruits. In fact they may defy competition. ATLANTIC Papers. — We are again under obligations to Geo. W. Welch for a supply of Eastern papers in advance of all others ‘The same gentleman also furnishes us with regular State papers with most commendable dispatch. Cacironnts MinstReLs.—After playing to good houses for three nights of last week the California Minstrels disbanded on Saturday evening last. It is understood that some of the members of the troupe are to proceed East to see their friends, while others will proceed to Australia to add to their pile. New Firm.—Drs. Kilbourne and Kent are about to open anew Drug Store in the new brick building of the latter member of the firm, two doors above C. W. Young's jewelry store. nn The political news by the last steamers but confirms the predictions of every honest man converzant with the affairs of Kansas, and demonstrates to the satisfaction of the most stolid the utter shallowness of the pretensions of the Administration. The.voice of the people of Kansas had been most unequivocally expressed in elections prior to the last. It was but a mockery to submit to them a choice the second time, which*they had with almost one voice decided upon. The true statesmen of the country had so urged longago. The President was told by the men whom he had appointed to investigate Kansas affairs, that the Lecompton Constitution must inevitably be rejected. THe still must persist in insulting the people by thrusting the odious thing before them again coupled with a temptation upon. their honor, and again has the cheat, and bribe been thrown back in his teeth with an unanimity and indignation worthy ofa virtuous people. The foul and foetid mass of corruption thrust by Executive force and Federal interference under the noses of an abused people has been kicked back to fester and stink in the olfactories of its authors. And what has become of the congratulations of eur pot-house politicians ? The Kansas question is obsolete indeed ! Determined to see if the people are truly sovereign, Kansas is about to assemble another Constitutional Convention, and as sure as fate will again ask for adinission into the Union in spite of the restrictions of the English contrivance. The whole question is then again thrown wide open, and the country is in precisely the same condition in respect to the vexed issue she wasatthe opening of the last session of Congress, and we presume no one can be found with the impudence to say the Kansas question was obsolete then. The Administration is now in a dilemma. It cannot fail to make a most unsatisfactory exhibit of itself before the next Congress. Ifthe next application of Kansas for admission be spurned how can the Administration democracy face all their professions of love for popular sovereignty from the commencement of the canvass of 1856 down ‘o the convening of the last national Legislature? How will they reconcile the act with the much lauded principle, “the people a/one are sovereign’? or how will they dare to preach non-intervention longer? If Kansas is admitted what will become of that solemn pledge in the English bill “to keep her out and let her bleed” till a population of 93,420, or 120,000, shall demand admission. One horn of the dilemma Buchanan’s administration must Billy Long-ears, We are again compelled, not,‘however, without a full sense of the humiliation, to approach a most dirty sutject. The heading of this article is sufficient to denote the depths of degradation to which we are subjected. It isa painful task to be obliged to notice the wilful and continucd defamations of a mendacious ass, yet to such an unwilling pass are we brought. The Sacramento Mercury, of the 18th inst, among other expressions which just become that sheet, accuses us of once writing remarks not to the credit of the late Senator Ferguson; that he called us to an account for it and we “whined and begged off’ &c. We are also charged now that Ferguson is dead with saying against him what we dared not do while hewas living. ‘Thecharge of Black Republicanism is of course, very characteristicaily, spriukled in also The envious cuss too speaks of our elevation to avery honorable position to which he ass-pired, but could'nt come it. We will attend to Mr. Long-ears in a few words. He simply lies when he says we were ever called to an account by the deceased, and, of course, he lies like a dog when he says we ever begged off, or in any manner failed to stand up to any responsibility we ever incurred cither with Senator Ferguson or any other mortal man living or dead. ‘The intamous puppy knows he lies when he charges us with reflecting upon the conduct or character of Senator Fergusen since his decease. There hasnot a syllable of the kind escaped our pen, and Longears with even his meagre capacity for understanding anything, knows it. Here then are three malizious lies in a single article. And yet there is another falsehood. Thecharges us with Black Republicanism. Wecan overlook a misrepresentation of this kind, especially, when, as in this case, it arises froma want of good sense, or brains. The fact is, Deity has so constructed some minds that they can scarcely discriminate between black and white, and the editor of the Mercury happens to be one of this unfortunate class, .argl is entitled to pity instead of curses for his failings. He, positively, if we are to judge by his effusions, cannottell the differeuce bes tween a national, old, line Whig in principle and a modern Republican. One horn of a dilemma he must take, certainly. He either dont know the difference or he is guilty of maliciously lying in this respect also, After all, we ought not to look but for falsehood from such a souree. An egotistical ass who would go about ina pubinevitably take, and take to its discred. lic crowd where his shameless face is it, and sorrow. It has already committed errors enough to wreck it with an intelligent people. Wea shall wait patiently to see if the final leap it is about to take will nut wean from it even the vermin that have clung and fattened upon Federal power. To Business Men of the County. To build up and develop this portion of the State, it is conceded that nothing is so much needed as a railroad which shall empty out tke products of these mountains into the great central mar kets. We desire to present to capitalists every desirable and reliable inducement for the construction of such a read havying its terminus at this place, and would be pleased to receive from every business man in the county a statement of the amount of freight he receives or sends below, or the amount.of money he pays annually or within any stated period for freight. We desire, also, to obtain the number of passengers going from or coming to the county from the cities below, and all other statistics useful to our purpose. The statements of individuals furnishing us information on these very desirable points will be strictly confidential and only used so as to further the object we have in view, namely the construction of a ailroad from Nevada to the nearest point of intersection with any other road. Gentlemen who will enlist themselver to obtain the requisite statistics will confera great benefit, possibly, upon this portion of the State, and it may redound greatly to their own benefit. They will likewise confer a great favor upon us, which we will be most happy to acknowledge. ¥ ATLANTIC CaBLE.—A piece of that self same cable which lies in the deep sea two miles from the surface, and about which the world is making so much noise, can be seen at the jewelry store of C. W. Young. It consists of a central cluster of six copper wires surroundinga seventh. Around these is a thick coating of gutta percha encased by eighteen clusters ef iron wire similar to the central copper one, maRing 126 iron wires in all. The whole is enelosed in cotton thread dipped in tar. Call at the store and see the curiosity. Game —Since the game laws have been suspended gunshave again come into use, and amateur sportsmen are out taking time and things on the wing. Our markets begin to exhibit the beasts of the field and fowls of the air which are allowed to be fit for food by the Leviticallaw. — Ee The Jno L. Stephens carried away, on the 6th inst. 272 passengers, and $1,799,414 in treasure. not known, and heralding his own abilities importune an unsuspecting number to call for aman they had been led to believe had at least a little talent, and then repay their credulity by the substitution of so complete a satire upon intelligent humanity, as himself, might be expected to treat the world with lies i: place of truths. We happen to have never advocate] Republicanism of the present day. ‘The Republicans as a party are understood to be against the admission by Congress of any more Slave States under any citcumstances. This isthe only distinetive feature of the party which can with any propriety be pronounced not na tional. To the belief of this part of Republicanism we have never come. We opposed the election of Fremont and have never advocated the success of or voted a Republican ticket. But, for the benefit of the editor of the Mercury, we will say, that if we were compelled to choose between a gentleman of Republican proclivities, and a henpecked locofoco nincompoop like himself, we should turn with contempt from the latter, and most assuredly indicate a decided preference for the former. If the lying ass of the Mercury can find any authority in this confession to continne his silly charges of Black Republicanism, let the wretch make the anost of it. Ho, ror THE War.—The Nevada Rifles paraded last night preparatory forthe war. It has been currently reported, but with how much truth we are unable to say, that the company has been ordered to be in readiness to march against the murdering red skins of the north. There isnot a man in the ranks who will flinch a hair when he sees the hostile bullets coming. We predict the carnage will be of short duration after the Nevada Rifles are let loose on the savages a little while. Should the company take steps tu “sonorous metal blowing martial sounds,” county officials wiil be scarcer than we have ever known them since our county organization. District Court.—T he District Court will commence its next term on the 4th of October. Thesix men indicted for the murder of McMurtry at Grass Valley, we learn are cach to be tried separately which will probably exhaust a large share of the terth. q New York Thieves Arrived.-The following named operators arrived recently by the Sonora: George Smith, Jim Riley, Geo.

English: Dear Sir : Aware thatthe Convention for nominating a Democratic candidate for Congress in your district, will convene in a few days, I cannot refrain from expressing the hope that you may be the unanimous nominee of the convention ; if I lived in your district, and had a thousand votes, you should have them all.— Occupying the position you do, I consider it essential that you should succeed in obtaining the nomination. A failure in this would be regarded by me as a rebuke of my Administration. There may be some aspirant or aspirants for the positionin your way. If so, you may say to them that by giving you a clear track they will gain my favor, and may expect to be provided for in a suitable manner. If nominated, I will throw as much assistance into your district as you may desire. Our friend Hughes, I see, has had a hard road to hoe. He will be liberally sustained. Of this you may rest assur ed. Your friend, James BucHANAN. TEXAS GETTING ANTI-SLAVERY.--The last number of thea New Orleans Bee says: “There is scrious danger of the utter defeat of Southern hopes and aspirations . couching Texas,and that inthe very heart of the South, in the region of all others best adapted to the successful cultivation of Southern products, and to the consequent remunerating employment of slave labor, a feeling of settled oppositionto slavery exists, which, if not counteracted, will ultimately neutralize the entire benefit conferred by the act of 1850, and incorporate the largest, fin est,and most_fertile part of Texas into the family of free States.” f= When you bury animosity, don’t set a stone up over its grave, Dry Hives.—The shipment of hides from Nevada is becoming quite a good business.
