-. THE JOURNAL, FRIDAY MORNING, Sept. 30, 1859: Nevapa Garvenxs.—A few days since we visited some of the most extensive gardens about Nevada, and beg leave to report as follows: Following up Deer Creck and about a mile from town we came to the garden of Mr. Worrell. The inclosure contains about two acres, in which grow apple, pear, plum, peach, and other trees, grape vines, raspberries, strawberries, besides almost all kinds of vegetables for the table. In the garden we saw thirty bearing peach trees literally broken down with fruit which we found of superior quality. ‘T'wenty-six apple trees have also a moderate crop of fruit upon them. The fruit trees all present an excee'dingly thrifty appearance though we were informed they were grown without water. The garden produced this year but a small crop of strawberries, say one hundred quarts. A white variety is still ripening in the garden. Native raspberries in any quantity are als> grown; but the most prominent and interesting feature of the garden is the luxuriance and productiveness of its grapes. There are one hundred vines three years old, and reported to be of the Los Angeles variety, though we doubt it. The large clusters of grapes hang in‘the richest protusion. Not less than from fifteen huxdred to a ton of grapes can now be collected from these hundred vines. The soil is none of the richest, is rocky, and the vines haye been watered but three times during the summer. We were shown a remarkable difference in the size and maturity of the grapes upon different yines, caused, it is alleged. by cutting in the vine at various times in the moon. Those which produced the poorest fruit are said to have been pruned when the moon was at its full, while the others were trimmed bu: a few days after. Mrs. Worrell insisted on bestowing a prodigal cluster upon us which we pronounce of an excellent quality, On the south side of Deer Creek and but a quarter of a mile above town, is the garden of Mulloy, celebrated hereabouts as having produced heretofore a large shave of the strawbercies of our market. The garden lies upon the side hill. having a steep incline to the west and contains about three acres under cultivation. There are two hundred fruit trees one half of which, are peach, mostly seedlings of splendid flavor. The other half are apple, pear, plum, quince, nectarine, &c. A large share of the grounds is planted with potatoes, and some of the hills we saw opened were crowded. Mr. Mulloy estimates his potato crop at 300 bushels. The first quinces we have ever seen in the State are growing in this garden. E. C: Gillespie hasa choice garden at the head of Gold Flat, which for extent and productiveness perhaps exceeds that of any other about Nevada. He hasabout five acres under cultivation, on which are 300 peach, 200 apple, besides other kinds of fruit trees, already sect. He has also about 5C0 peach and 100 apple trees in nursery that he designs setting out the coming winter. Mr. Gillespie's garden lies nearly flat, and has for the most part an exceedingly rich soil, eapable of producing almost anything. His bearing trees have been set out three years. On twenty-one peach trees four years old from the bud, he produced this year, it is estimated, fall two hundred bushels of superior fruit. Thirty apple trees of the same age will yield probably thirty-five bushels. ‘The Belle Fleur and Baldwin seem to be extraordinarily productive. In the garden we saw about forty large vines of the Los Angeles variety, which would average quite forty pounds of fruit to-each vine. This kind of grape does not however mature well. Upon the vines we saw the grape inevery stage of growth from the purpling appreach to ripeness to the young berry just escaped from the blossom. For raspberries the garden has no equal. Mr. Gillespie raises several varieties. . Such rank, luxurient vines we never saw. Some of them world measure twenty feet inlength. The black raspberry common to the Atlantic States, flourish here. The garden produces a very large quanti-~ ty of strawberries annually as almost altkindsof vegetables sold in the markets. : The experien ce of few years has demonstrated that™tailings make an excellent waleh. The most vigorous apple tree on the grounds of Mr. Gillespie has never received artificial irrigation. I: was set in the black top soil three years ago, and the grav ol froma shaft dug within six feet of % thrown about the roots to the depth of two feet. This year it was loaded with splendid fruit and a more promising looking tree is rarely beheld. Other similar experiments on the same grounds produced like results. Col. Craighasa garden of some two acres near American Hill, which we have visited with particular interest. About half an acre is set to vines of the Black Hamburgh vatiety mostly. Hereis the grape brought to perfection, It is a sight worth seeing to look upon the monster vines four years oldand hung with the large [clusters of the richest of fruit. <A number of the oldest vines stand about the portico of the house shading it pretty effectually. One of these had three hundred bunchesof grapesnpon it. Col. Craig informs that his grapes were dwarfted in size und injured in quality by a too close pruning. However, we can’t see how the grapes could be better. The garden lies upon the side hill. No extraordinary measures are tax ken to produce a growth of wood, yet we never saw such vigorous vines in any.country. Vines one year rooted are found in the garden fifteen and even twenty feet in length. Col. Craig tells us the red soil of our hills is better than black bottom lands for the grape, and we are prepared to believe it after seeing his success in its culture. He is now preparing ten acres of hill soil for a vineyard to be set the coming winter. — The Los Augeles vine makes a monster growth in the garden but is considered valueless by the side of the Black Hamburgh, and in truth it may well be so considered. We are indebted to Col. Craig for valnable suggestions on the best modes of cultivating the grape. Besides the grapesthe garden is filled with fruit trees of choice varieties. We noticed a mammoth growth of hemp, and the Colonel showed us a nice patch of sweet potatoes, a hill or two of which we saw opened and carried off a portion of the contents. This delicious. vegetable grows to perfection. The experiments of Col. Craig in vine culture demonstrates the worth of our mountain soil over any other forthe production of the best of grapes. We venture to say that the Black Hamburgh grape is grown nowhere else in the State in greater perfection, and there isleft no room to doubt that other varieties:may be cultivated here with equal success. The garden of J. N. Turner half a mile out of town on the Grass Valley road is worthy of notice for abundance of raw material out of which te make a splendid orchard. The grounds are naturally rich and moist and are extensive. There arein the garden about seventy large peach trees, and probably as many more of other kinds of fruit trees. This year too much fruit was allowed to remain on the trees, and other business occupied too thoroughly the attention of the owner tothe neglect of the garden. The consequence was a large crop of diminutive fruit. Had but one peach in ten heen allowed to remain on the trees more and better frult would have resulted we make no question. Judge John Williame has an orchard of three hundred trees on the lowerend of Gold Flat. His first trees were seedling peach and set in 1852. Gradually accumulating trees he has grown up an orchard of the present size. One hundred of the trees are apple, and the remainder peach, with a few exceptions. Esquire Williams’ orchard this year produced full one hundred bushels of peaches, mostly natural fruit but of choice quality.— He has about four acres under eultivation producing besides peaches and apples, strawberries, &e. He is probably the pioneer cultivator of fruit in this vicirity. His earliest trees were first planted on the grounds of Dr. Crane in this city, and thence transplanted to their present location. Year after year cuttings were taken from these trees many of which took root and thus the present orchard obtained a fair begin ning. Since the valley nurseries be= gan to furnish trees for sale the mode of obtaining them from cuttings has been abandoned. Nevapa Premiums.—The Nevada Flouring Mills of this city tock the first prize at the late State Fair for manufacturing flour of the best quality. Mons. Leibert, of Broad street, took the second premium for Ambrotypes. Our readers will recollect a notice we gave of an excellent pic~ ture by this artist, which proved to be all we claimed for it. We learn that Charley Edwards, of Grass Valley, was awarded the first premium for the finest peaches on exhibition. Thus we see that Nevada county makes no mean pretensions to manufactures, fine arts, or to the rich productions of her soil. We learn also that our friend Capt. Rufus Shoemaker, but for his retiring and unassuming manners, would have borne off the prize for goud looks and soldierly deportment. ‘I'he fault was his own that he was overlooked, and that fault is a rare virtue. nn _ 2 gis ss uss sn hss ess ss sp nesses hiesiniistnsemnioeseenesiiensioeniasd >= LLL LL LLL LO TIO I ETE DLE ee —_— ing and strengthening, not only in our own country beneath the shade of free institutions, but in monarchical Europe under the inexorable eye of the immaculate Church, and even in China and the isles of the ocean, of spiritexistences surrounding, impelling and controlling us. We, all of us, have ecen individuals of accepted character for truthfuluess who declare the wonderful things they have seen; articles of furniture moved by unseen agencies—writing of mysterious sentences in a still more mysterious manner—and even some who are ready to and do.affirm they have seen, and not with the eye of faith alone, the etherialized forms of spirits themselves and held communion with them. Are we returning to the mysticism and superstitions of ages agone, or in the progression of mind are we approximating to the beatified intelligencies illumined with the rays of a central Light ? Is man losing judgment and surrendering the citadel of reason to wander in the wild realms of imagination, or he is sweeping onward to a high and holy destiny, clearing at a bound the dark valley of dread, and scaling those ramparts from whose tops the sainted, unapproachable, are supposed ‘o look down on unsanctified spirits in the flesh below ? Wether the age when voices whispered to the Maid of Orleans and belted knights went forth to battle impressed with the divinity of her mission, is to come again with its poztry, its chivalry and the wild fantasies of the medieval centuries, or whether the fetters of ignorance, and the misery of fear with which the human mind has contemplated heretofore the dark future in which was hidden his immortal destiny, are to be dissolved and man to baskin the rays of a more genial revelation, to move in the atmosphere of religious frees dom, to see more clearly his great end and niore intelligently prepare for it —these are questions in view of the march of a new belief which we sce around us, it would be well to settle upon arational or philosophical basis. The conservative religionist can but view the trenching upon his creed which is going on, and that too with silent but rapid strides, with alarm. Thousands have -announced them. selves already the professors ofa new and sublime faith. Teachers exhibit their wonderful p»wers, in professed inspiration speakiiig in weird manner of the progressive destiny of the immortal mind. Books are written strange in doctrine, strange in revelation ; and newspapers under the editorial guidance of spiritualists relate to us astonishing events inexplicablé to human philosophy, and which ought to consign the relators to the infamy of proven impostors, or raise them and their faith to the highest niche in our respect and esteem. And what is there repulsive in the belief that instead of vast distances and insurmountable obstacles between us and the spirit land, departed friends, still true to their affections, hover about,guarding, counseling and protecting us in life, and revealing themselves to us in death, lifting with glorified presence the doubting, trembling spirit across the flood which rolls between life and eternity 1 To him who lives in the unwavering fai h ihat the spirits of the good surround and minister unto him, this may be a charmed life’ The new faith does not admit of the damnation of doubts when ouce the mind has accepted its truth. Whether the damnation of false belief will follow as the old-fogy chiistians say, is yet to be determined. Game !—The season for gawe having arrived Archie McAllister is pre~ paring to supply his market with ev~ ery delicacy in that line. The arrangments being complete. those in want of deer, hare, fowls, fish, &c., have only to present themselves with cash in hand at the Keystone market, on Commercial street, to be accommodated. Reticious.—Rev. D. A, Dryden after ably sustaining the pastorial charge of the M. E. Church of this city retires to Petaluma where he is stationed the coming year. Rev. J. A. Bruner, of San Francisco will shortly assume the pastoral care of the chureh in his place. Favoks.—We are indebted to the gentlemanly agent of Freeman & Co. for unremitting favors in the way ofa supply of cotemporary newspapers, for which, as ever we are greatly obliged. Banking at Moore's Flat.—San. Heury, one of the most untiring and faithful of Expresmen. has retired .from the business and has opened a ‘banking houseat Moore's Flat iu this county. Suceess to him. See fourth page for interesting articles. , — Spinirvatism.—A beliefisincreas— American WiLt Quartz.—Ip one of the most obscure corners of the world, out of sight behind a hill and about 2 mile from Nevada, is a thundering mill pounding rock and making money in as quiet a way asits noisy machinery will allow. One year ago the mill was incumbered to the tnue of $18,000. Now it is clear of debt, having paid it all off in a legitimate way. The miil has an engine of thirty-five horse power, driving when required twelve stamps. But eight, however, are kept running. The goldis mostly caught in blankets over which the pulverized quartz is passed with water. Below the blankets are mercurialized plates; but, not. as in the Oriental mill. they are considered of secondary importance. The common arrastra is attached to the mill, as is, also, the Chilian revolving amalgamating wheels. Weare informed the quartz crushed at present yields about $12 per ton, An apparatus patented by Benham and called the Excelsior Amalgamator has been recently attached to the mill for the purpose of working old tailings. . The apparatus consists of two horizontal cireular cast iron troughs one above the other through which are dragged around and around a succession of cast iron drags closely fitting the concave bottom of the troughs. The sand tailings are thrown in perfectly dry and pulverized to an extreme fineness in. these troughs.— The dust is then run out and mixed with a preparation of acids to destroy theiron sulpuhrets. The mortar of the mixture is allowed to stand twenty~four hours at least, when it is run through another ‘rough and apparatus precisely as before described, except that plenty of water and quicksilver areadded. When thor~ oughly amalgamated the whole is passed over a succession of riffles.— We learn that $20 per ton, and some~ times as high as $27 have been taken from old tailings by this process — About three tons of tailings are gone over in twenty-four hours. Thisiapparatus proves that but one halfof the gold or thereabouts was collected by the old mode. The American Hill mill is supplied with rock from three or four leads in the vicinity owned by the company. Broderick’s Property.—The value of Broderick’s estate is set at $130,000, encumbered with mortgages to the amount of $85,000. No will being yet discovered it is believed he died intestate. T'wo cousins in the second degree, Edmund Welch and Lucy Brown appear as heirs to the estate in default of nearer kindred. Jcvee Trrery.—Judge Terry was taken to San Francisco on Friday of last week, in charge of Sheriff O’Neal of San Joaquin. Brought before Judge Blake on the following day he gave bonds in $10,000 to appear before his honor and answer to the charge of fighting aduel. Itis rumored that Terry will apply for a change of venue to another county, San Francisco being too hot for him. Foot Racs.—The foot race hitbto announced came offat McCaffrey’s on Moore’s Flat, on Saturday last. We have but an imperfect account ofit. It is reported that Wm. Vial came out 4 feet & inches atead of Dave Kirkland. They were the only competitors. New Av’s.—Charley Irish, notorious for keeping the best Restaurant in the city, has found it necessery to establish himself in better quarters on Commercial street. Good livars are invited to try the Fashion Restaurant, H. H. Wiekes & Co. rark as No. 1 Druggists. Of long established reputation founded on a perfect knowledge of the business, persons in need of medicine need have no fears ofbeing pizened there. Newman & Coe., have just the tonics necessary to a successful swallowing of Wickes’ drugs, rendering the most unpalatable doses highly nutricious and pleasant to take. Davenport & Co., are about to remove from the corner of Main and Washington to Kelsey’s new brick on Commercial. We learn that a a new Dry Goods store will be openedin the cornerto be vacated by Davenport & Co. The Butte Democrat declares ‘in sober earnestness it has never read anything more reprehensible, malignant and perfectly diabolical than Col. Baker's Funeral Oration at the burial of Senator Broderick.” Our cotemporary must have a sedative. F# Judge Crane, Delegate from the ‘l'erritory of Nevada in Congress, died on the 26th inst. at Gold Hill, in that Territory, of an apoplectic fit. The Union foots up the vote for a Constitutional Convention at 42,822 The vote of the State being more than a hundred thousand; the Convention question is eertainly fost.

Thos J. Poulterer, was chosen PresiGent, and Capt. Folger, W. A. Macondray and A. R. Baldwin, Seeretaties. Edmund Randolph, Esq., addressed the meeting,and some others. A committee was appointed consisting of J. W. Brittan, Charles Hosmer, Leouidas Haskell, John P. Buckley Wm. M. Lent, Thos. J. Poulterer, Charles D. Carter, J, L. Van Bokelin, James De Freemery, Edmund Randolph, Chas. Watrous, and Joseph R. Rollinson of San Francisco; Gen. Reddinzton of Sacramento; Lewis Cunningham, of Yuba; and John Conness, of ElDorado, to carry out the objects ofthe meeting. The following were also appointed a committee from this coun ty to solicit and collect subscriptions to aid in the construction of the monument; S. Hf. Chase, Chas. Kent. A. A. Sargent, Charles Felton and J. N. Turner. Books. —“ The Heroines of History.” —A very readable book by John S. Jenkins containing an account of the most celebrated females of ancient and modern times—Cleopatra, Joan of Arc, Marie Antoinette, Josephine, Elizabeth, Mary Queen of Scots, Madame Roland, &c. “Courtship of Miles Standish.”"— Longfellow’s latest gift of the muse, is in homespun style, quaint as his subject, but still invested with a rich poetic charm. There is an unrivalled simplicity in the verse of Long-~ fellow which gives his writings their chief valne. The above books, as well as a splendid assortment of others may be had atthe bookstore of J, E. Hamlin, on Broad street, to whom we are indebted for copies. The assessed value of taxable property in this county according to the Assessor’s books, is $3.600,000 in round numbers. showing a falling off of half a million since last year. However, our county presents a pretty fair showing yet. The assessed value of property in E}Dorado this year is setdown at $2,550,000. We are stiJl more thana milhon ahead of the Empire County. Accident. —-'The son of William Thompson, on Deer Creek, a lad about four years old, while wandering in the woods on Wednesday afternoon last, fell into a shaft about fifty feet deep, from which he was taken about 8 P.

Turkey SwHoorinc.—A_ turkey shoot came off on Monday at McCaffrey’s Race Course on Moore's Flat, Some thirty turkeys fell, ten of which by the rifle of Col. Whitman of this city. More would have been bagged by him but he was unceremoniously ruled out for having too perfect a know!ledge of projectile propusion. The fowls were pat up at a distance of 150 yards. (= The Mercantile Library Association, of San Francisco cleared $1.500 on Bayard Taylor’s lectures, The Nevada Library Association cleared $80 odd. We hope, says the Placer American, that our friends of Auburn who are on a visit toSacramento, will prove themselves a little sharper than a certain editor from one of the northern counties, who visited the City of the Plains ’to see what he could see.” The unsophisticated editor aforesaid, whilst moping around, (without biccoughing,) witnessing the sights hapened to come across the pigean shooting. He looked onin wonder and amazement, his eyes sticking out about a foot or a foot and a half, and finally caine to the conclusion that it was their “infernal” luck that made them kill so often, but thought it high '. time for their luck to change for the worse, and commenced betting—it was money out and nonein all the time till necessity compelled him to desist, But to cap the climax; he offers to bet ten to five that he would kill them every time, and he had just been betting that the best shooterin the State couldn't kill, and they were. killing fonrteen out of every fifteen. -Greeny you hadbetter stay at home hereafter. DisasteR.—The brig Wanderer. Capt. Gregory, bound to Japan, was totaily lost on French Frigate shoals. on the night of September Ist. Crew saved. ‘he Wanderer was owned by Carpenter, who formerly commanded her, and others, and was probably insured.— AltaAccidentally Shot:—A minet by the name of McDonald, residing near Tamaroo Bar, on the North Fork of the American river, was lately shot by his partner in the night, while the former was creeping on the floor.— The wound is probably mortal.

-. THE JOURNAL, FRIDAY MORNING, Sept. 30, 1859: Nevapa Garvenxs.—A few days since we visited some of the most extensive gardens about Nevada, and beg leave to report as follows: Following up Deer Creck and about a mile from town we came to the garden of Mr. Worrell. The inclosure contains about two acres, in which grow apple, pear, plum, peach, and other trees, grape vines, raspberries, strawberries, besides almost all kinds of vegetables for the table. In the garden we saw thirty bearing peach trees literally broken down with fruit which we found of superior quality. ‘T'wenty-six apple trees have also a moderate crop of fruit upon them. The fruit trees all present an excee'dingly thrifty appearance though we were informed they were grown without water. The garden produced this year but a small crop of strawberries, say one hundred quarts. A white variety is still ripening in the garden. Native raspberries in any quantity are als> grown; but the most prominent and interesting feature of the garden is the luxuriance and productiveness of its grapes. There are one hundred vines three years old, and reported to be of the Los Angeles variety, though we doubt it. The large clusters of grapes hang in‘the richest protusion. Not less than from fifteen huxdred to a ton of grapes can now be collected from these hundred vines. The soil is none of the richest, is rocky, and the vines haye been watered but three times during the summer. We were shown a remarkable difference in the size and maturity of the grapes upon different yines, caused, it is alleged. by cutting in the vine at various times in the moon. Those which produced the poorest fruit are said to have been pruned when the moon was at its full, while the others were trimmed bu: a few days after. Mrs. Worrell insisted on bestowing a prodigal cluster upon us which we pronounce of an excellent quality, On the south side of Deer Creek and but a quarter of a mile above town, is the garden of Mulloy, celebrated hereabouts as having produced heretofore a large shave of the strawbercies of our market. The garden lies upon the side hill. having a steep incline to the west and contains about three acres under cultivation. There are two hundred fruit trees one half of which, are peach, mostly seedlings of splendid flavor. The other half are apple, pear, plum, quince, nectarine, &c. A large share of the grounds is planted with potatoes, and some of the hills we saw opened were crowded. Mr. Mulloy estimates his potato crop at 300 bushels. The first quinces we have ever seen in the State are growing in this garden. E. C: Gillespie hasa choice garden at the head of Gold Flat, which for extent and productiveness perhaps exceeds that of any other about Nevada. He hasabout five acres under cultivation, on which are 300 peach, 200 apple, besides other kinds of fruit trees, already sect. He has also about 5C0 peach and 100 apple trees in nursery that he designs setting out the coming winter. Mr. Gillespie's garden lies nearly flat, and has for the most part an exceedingly rich soil, eapable of producing almost anything. His bearing trees have been set out three years. On twenty-one peach trees four years old from the bud, he produced this year, it is estimated, fall two hundred bushels of superior fruit. Thirty apple trees of the same age will yield probably thirty-five bushels. ‘The Belle Fleur and Baldwin seem to be extraordinarily productive. In the garden we saw about forty large vines of the Los Angeles variety, which would average quite forty pounds of fruit to-each vine. This kind of grape does not however mature well. Upon the vines we saw the grape inevery stage of growth from the purpling appreach to ripeness to the young berry just escaped from the blossom. For raspberries the garden has no equal. Mr. Gillespie raises several varieties. . Such rank, luxurient vines we never saw. Some of them world measure twenty feet inlength. The black raspberry common to the Atlantic States, flourish here. The garden produces a very large quanti-~ ty of strawberries annually as almost altkindsof vegetables sold in the markets. : The experien ce of few years has demonstrated that™tailings make an excellent waleh. The most vigorous apple tree on the grounds of Mr. Gillespie has never received artificial irrigation. I: was set in the black top soil three years ago, and the grav ol froma shaft dug within six feet of % thrown about the roots to the depth of two feet. This year it was loaded with splendid fruit and a more promising looking tree is rarely beheld. Other similar experiments on the same grounds produced like results. Col. Craighasa garden of some two acres near American Hill, which we have visited with particular interest. About half an acre is set to vines of the Black Hamburgh vatiety mostly. Hereis the grape brought to perfection, It is a sight worth seeing to look upon the monster vines four years oldand hung with the large [clusters of the richest of fruit. <A number of the oldest vines stand about the portico of the house shading it pretty effectually. One of these had three hundred bunchesof grapesnpon it. Col. Craig informs that his grapes were dwarfted in size und injured in quality by a too close pruning. However, we can’t see how the grapes could be better. The garden lies upon the side hill. No extraordinary measures are tax ken to produce a growth of wood, yet we never saw such vigorous vines in any.country. Vines one year rooted are found in the garden fifteen and even twenty feet in length. Col. Craig tells us the red soil of our hills is better than black bottom lands for the grape, and we are prepared to believe it after seeing his success in its culture. He is now preparing ten acres of hill soil for a vineyard to be set the coming winter. — The Los Augeles vine makes a monster growth in the garden but is considered valueless by the side of the Black Hamburgh, and in truth it may well be so considered. We are indebted to Col. Craig for valnable suggestions on the best modes of cultivating the grape. Besides the grapesthe garden is filled with fruit trees of choice varieties. We noticed a mammoth growth of hemp, and the Colonel showed us a nice patch of sweet potatoes, a hill or two of which we saw opened and carried off a portion of the contents. This delicious. vegetable grows to perfection. The experiments of Col. Craig in vine culture demonstrates the worth of our mountain soil over any other forthe production of the best of grapes. We venture to say that the Black Hamburgh grape is grown nowhere else in the State in greater perfection, and there isleft no room to doubt that other varieties:may be cultivated here with equal success. The garden of J. N. Turner half a mile out of town on the Grass Valley road is worthy of notice for abundance of raw material out of which te make a splendid orchard. The grounds are naturally rich and moist and are extensive. There arein the garden about seventy large peach trees, and probably as many more of other kinds of fruit trees. This year too much fruit was allowed to remain on the trees, and other business occupied too thoroughly the attention of the owner tothe neglect of the garden. The consequence was a large crop of diminutive fruit. Had but one peach in ten heen allowed to remain on the trees more and better frult would have resulted we make no question. Judge John Williame has an orchard of three hundred trees on the lowerend of Gold Flat. His first trees were seedling peach and set in 1852. Gradually accumulating trees he has grown up an orchard of the present size. One hundred of the trees are apple, and the remainder peach, with a few exceptions. Esquire Williams’ orchard this year produced full one hundred bushels of peaches, mostly natural fruit but of choice quality.— He has about four acres under eultivation producing besides peaches and apples, strawberries, &e. He is probably the pioneer cultivator of fruit in this vicirity. His earliest trees were first planted on the grounds of Dr. Crane in this city, and thence transplanted to their present location. Year after year cuttings were taken from these trees many of which took root and thus the present orchard obtained a fair begin ning. Since the valley nurseries be= gan to furnish trees for sale the mode of obtaining them from cuttings has been abandoned. Nevapa Premiums.—The Nevada Flouring Mills of this city tock the first prize at the late State Fair for manufacturing flour of the best quality. Mons. Leibert, of Broad street, took the second premium for Ambrotypes. Our readers will recollect a notice we gave of an excellent pic~ ture by this artist, which proved to be all we claimed for it. We learn that Charley Edwards, of Grass Valley, was awarded the first premium for the finest peaches on exhibition. Thus we see that Nevada county makes no mean pretensions to manufactures, fine arts, or to the rich productions of her soil. We learn also that our friend Capt. Rufus Shoemaker, but for his retiring and unassuming manners, would have borne off the prize for goud looks and soldierly deportment. ‘I'he fault was his own that he was overlooked, and that fault is a rare virtue. nn _ 2 gis ss uss sn hss ess ss sp nesses hiesiniistnsemnioeseenesiiensioeniasd >= LLL LL LLL LO TIO I ETE DLE ee —_— ing and strengthening, not only in our own country beneath the shade of free institutions, but in monarchical Europe under the inexorable eye of the immaculate Church, and even in China and the isles of the ocean, of spiritexistences surrounding, impelling and controlling us. We, all of us, have ecen individuals of accepted character for truthfuluess who declare the wonderful things they have seen; articles of furniture moved by unseen agencies—writing of mysterious sentences in a still more mysterious manner—and even some who are ready to and do.affirm they have seen, and not with the eye of faith alone, the etherialized forms of spirits themselves and held communion with them. Are we returning to the mysticism and superstitions of ages agone, or in the progression of mind are we approximating to the beatified intelligencies illumined with the rays of a central Light ? Is man losing judgment and surrendering the citadel of reason to wander in the wild realms of imagination, or he is sweeping onward to a high and holy destiny, clearing at a bound the dark valley of dread, and scaling those ramparts from whose tops the sainted, unapproachable, are supposed ‘o look down on unsanctified spirits in the flesh below ? Wether the age when voices whispered to the Maid of Orleans and belted knights went forth to battle impressed with the divinity of her mission, is to come again with its poztry, its chivalry and the wild fantasies of the medieval centuries, or whether the fetters of ignorance, and the misery of fear with which the human mind has contemplated heretofore the dark future in which was hidden his immortal destiny, are to be dissolved and man to baskin the rays of a more genial revelation, to move in the atmosphere of religious frees dom, to see more clearly his great end and niore intelligently prepare for it —these are questions in view of the march of a new belief which we sce around us, it would be well to settle upon arational or philosophical basis. The conservative religionist can but view the trenching upon his creed which is going on, and that too with silent but rapid strides, with alarm. Thousands have -announced them. selves already the professors ofa new and sublime faith. Teachers exhibit their wonderful p»wers, in professed inspiration speakiiig in weird manner of the progressive destiny of the immortal mind. Books are written strange in doctrine, strange in revelation ; and newspapers under the editorial guidance of spiritualists relate to us astonishing events inexplicablé to human philosophy, and which ought to consign the relators to the infamy of proven impostors, or raise them and their faith to the highest niche in our respect and esteem. And what is there repulsive in the belief that instead of vast distances and insurmountable obstacles between us and the spirit land, departed friends, still true to their affections, hover about,guarding, counseling and protecting us in life, and revealing themselves to us in death, lifting with glorified presence the doubting, trembling spirit across the flood which rolls between life and eternity 1 To him who lives in the unwavering fai h ihat the spirits of the good surround and minister unto him, this may be a charmed life’ The new faith does not admit of the damnation of doubts when ouce the mind has accepted its truth. Whether the damnation of false belief will follow as the old-fogy chiistians say, is yet to be determined. Game !—The season for gawe having arrived Archie McAllister is pre~ paring to supply his market with ev~ ery delicacy in that line. The arrangments being complete. those in want of deer, hare, fowls, fish, &c., have only to present themselves with cash in hand at the Keystone market, on Commercial street, to be accommodated. Reticious.—Rev. D. A, Dryden after ably sustaining the pastorial charge of the M. E. Church of this city retires to Petaluma where he is stationed the coming year. Rev. J. A. Bruner, of San Francisco will shortly assume the pastoral care of the chureh in his place. Favoks.—We are indebted to the gentlemanly agent of Freeman & Co. for unremitting favors in the way ofa supply of cotemporary newspapers, for which, as ever we are greatly obliged. Banking at Moore's Flat.—San. Heury, one of the most untiring and faithful of Expresmen. has retired .from the business and has opened a ‘banking houseat Moore's Flat iu this county. Suceess to him. See fourth page for interesting articles. , — Spinirvatism.—A beliefisincreas— American WiLt Quartz.—Ip one of the most obscure corners of the world, out of sight behind a hill and about 2 mile from Nevada, is a thundering mill pounding rock and making money in as quiet a way asits noisy machinery will allow. One year ago the mill was incumbered to the tnue of $18,000. Now it is clear of debt, having paid it all off in a legitimate way. The miil has an engine of thirty-five horse power, driving when required twelve stamps. But eight, however, are kept running. The goldis mostly caught in blankets over which the pulverized quartz is passed with water. Below the blankets are mercurialized plates; but, not. as in the Oriental mill. they are considered of secondary importance. The common arrastra is attached to the mill, as is, also, the Chilian revolving amalgamating wheels. Weare informed the quartz crushed at present yields about $12 per ton, An apparatus patented by Benham and called the Excelsior Amalgamator has been recently attached to the mill for the purpose of working old tailings. . The apparatus consists of two horizontal cireular cast iron troughs one above the other through which are dragged around and around a succession of cast iron drags closely fitting the concave bottom of the troughs. The sand tailings are thrown in perfectly dry and pulverized to an extreme fineness in. these troughs.— The dust is then run out and mixed with a preparation of acids to destroy theiron sulpuhrets. The mortar of the mixture is allowed to stand twenty~four hours at least, when it is run through another ‘rough and apparatus precisely as before described, except that plenty of water and quicksilver areadded. When thor~ oughly amalgamated the whole is passed over a succession of riffles.— We learn that $20 per ton, and some~ times as high as $27 have been taken from old tailings by this process — About three tons of tailings are gone over in twenty-four hours. Thisiapparatus proves that but one halfof the gold or thereabouts was collected by the old mode. The American Hill mill is supplied with rock from three or four leads in the vicinity owned by the company. Broderick’s Property.—The value of Broderick’s estate is set at $130,000, encumbered with mortgages to the amount of $85,000. No will being yet discovered it is believed he died intestate. T'wo cousins in the second degree, Edmund Welch and Lucy Brown appear as heirs to the estate in default of nearer kindred. Jcvee Trrery.—Judge Terry was taken to San Francisco on Friday of last week, in charge of Sheriff O’Neal of San Joaquin. Brought before Judge Blake on the following day he gave bonds in $10,000 to appear before his honor and answer to the charge of fighting aduel. Itis rumored that Terry will apply for a change of venue to another county, San Francisco being too hot for him. Foot Racs.—The foot race hitbto announced came offat McCaffrey’s on Moore’s Flat, on Saturday last. We have but an imperfect account ofit. It is reported that Wm. Vial came out 4 feet & inches atead of Dave Kirkland. They were the only competitors. New Av’s.—Charley Irish, notorious for keeping the best Restaurant in the city, has found it necessery to establish himself in better quarters on Commercial street. Good livars are invited to try the Fashion Restaurant, H. H. Wiekes & Co. rark as No. 1 Druggists. Of long established reputation founded on a perfect knowledge of the business, persons in need of medicine need have no fears ofbeing pizened there. Newman & Coe., have just the tonics necessary to a successful swallowing of Wickes’ drugs, rendering the most unpalatable doses highly nutricious and pleasant to take. Davenport & Co., are about to remove from the corner of Main and Washington to Kelsey’s new brick on Commercial. We learn that a a new Dry Goods store will be openedin the cornerto be vacated by Davenport & Co. The Butte Democrat declares ‘in sober earnestness it has never read anything more reprehensible, malignant and perfectly diabolical than Col. Baker's Funeral Oration at the burial of Senator Broderick.” Our cotemporary must have a sedative. F# Judge Crane, Delegate from the ‘l'erritory of Nevada in Congress, died on the 26th inst. at Gold Hill, in that Territory, of an apoplectic fit.

There is an unrivalled simplicity in the verse of Long-~ fellow which gives his writings their chief valne. The above books, as well as a splendid assortment of others may be had atthe bookstore of J, E. Hamlin, on Broad street, to whom we are indebted for copies. The assessed value of taxable property in this county according to the Assessor’s books, is $3.600,000 in round numbers. showing a falling off of half a million since last year. However, our county presents a pretty fair showing yet. The assessed value of property in E}Dorado this year is setdown at $2,550,000. We are stiJl more thana milhon ahead of the Empire County. Accident. —-'The son of William Thompson, on Deer Creek, a lad about four years old, while wandering in the woods on Wednesday afternoon last, fell into a shaft about fifty feet deep, from which he was taken about 8 P.

Turkey SwHoorinc.—A_ turkey shoot came off on Monday at McCaffrey’s Race Course on Moore's Flat, Some thirty turkeys fell, ten of which by the rifle of Col. Whitman of this city. More would have been bagged by him but he was unceremoniously ruled out for having too perfect a know!ledge of projectile propusion. The fowls were pat up at a distance of 150 yards. (= The Mercantile Library Association, of San Francisco cleared $1.500 on Bayard Taylor’s lectures, The Nevada Library Association cleared $80 odd. We hope, says the Placer American, that our friends of Auburn who are on a visit toSacramento, will prove themselves a little sharper than a certain editor from one of the northern counties, who visited the City of the Plains ’to see what he could see.” The unsophisticated editor aforesaid, whilst moping around, (without biccoughing,) witnessing the sights hapened to come across the pigean shooting. He looked onin wonder and amazement, his eyes sticking out about a foot or a foot and a half, and finally caine to the conclusion that it was their “infernal” luck that made them kill so often, but thought it high '. time for their luck to change for the worse, and commenced betting—it was money out and nonein all the time till necessity compelled him to desist, But to cap the climax; he offers to bet ten to five that he would kill them every time, and he had just been betting that the best shooterin the State couldn't kill, and they were. killing fonrteen out of every fifteen. -Greeny you hadbetter stay at home hereafter. DisasteR.—The brig Wanderer. Capt. Gregory, bound to Japan, was totaily lost on French Frigate shoals. on the night of September Ist. Crew saved. ‘he Wanderer was owned by Carpenter, who formerly commanded her, and others, and was probably insured.— AltaAccidentally Shot:—A minet by the name of McDonald, residing near Tamaroo Bar, on the North Fork of the American river, was lately shot by his partner in the night, while the former was creeping on the floor.— The wound is probably mortal.
