He informs us that the Comstock lead has been opene@ at different places from half a mile north of Virginia City to Gold Hill—a distance of four miles. At five different places between these points, companies are now at work taking out silver ore, and the vein has been struck ina number of other places. Not a foot of any of this ground could be purchased for less than five or six hundred dollars, and much of it would sell for as many thousands. He thinks that the prices now ruling for the ground are mneb below the intrinsic value, In the Walsh @laims they have a lead of silver ore a foot thick, the most of which yields $7,000 a ton, and the vein becomes richer aud heavier the deeper they go down. Silver ore bas been found in a number of other leads, but none of them can compare with the Comstock for richness. The Phoenix lead and the Desert lead, located some miles east-of Gold Hill, assay from $400 to $1,200 of silver to the ton. A vein of stove-coal, situated a few miles east of Virginia City, was discovered and taken up 4 few weeks ago, by Wm. Lindsey, formerly of this county. The coal has not been tested, but 27th, but it isnot likely that any nomination will be made previous to that date. Two days, at least, will be occupied in effecting a permaReprestwrative Mex.—The Journal, in an artiele upon the Charleston Convention, asserts that Senators Davis and Brown, and A. H. Stephens, are representative men of the Democratic party of to-day; that “they are the exponents of the principles enunciated and sustained by the majority;”’ and that “that majority has decided Douglas a renegade from the faith, # traitor to the principles of the party, a sower of dissensions and a breeder of party disorganizaARRIVAL OF THE PONY EXPRESS.

Of the candidates whose names will be presented tothe Convention, iu connection with the nomination for President, Senator Douglas is by far the most prominent, and the only man who has any positive strength, He will receive on the first ballot about balf the votes cast in the Convention, and as many of the delegates who have been instructed for other candidates hold Douglas as their second choice his nomination can only be defeated by the adoption of the two-thirds rule and a combination of the the vein ia believed to be valuable.

Srimrrvar, Leorvas.—Miss M. Munson, the celebrated clairvoyant, delivered a lecture at the Nevada Theater last Sunday afternoon, A very fair audience were in attendance, and at the bour appointed Miss Munson walled on the stage, took a seat, remained a few minutes as immovable asa statue, when her eyes closed, and giving one or two twitches she arose and eommenced her discourse. The subject of the lecture was, “What is Man?’ a question that fas never been eatisfactorily answered, nor did Miss Munson advance any new ideas upon the subject. She treated of man more particularly as an animal, and in accounting for his existence upon earth, adopted the Lamarckian theory of progressive dovelopment;—that is, man has been developed from the shell-fish, the same as the butterfly is developed from the caterpiller, or the bull-frog from the tadpole, Those who heard the lecture, and have a desire to pursue the matter further, will find the whole subject ably treated ina work entitled “The Vestiges of Creation.’’ The lecture was well-worded, spoken distinctly, and with gracefal and appropriate gestures. At the conclasion, and before coming out of the “abnormal” state, the lecturer invited any one in the audience to ask questions upon the subject discussed; but no questions were asked—the men and women present appearing to know enough already boot “Man.”? She then gave notice that she would lecture again in this place in the course of a few days, when she eeased speaking, turned her face partly from the audience, stood for about a minute, opened her eyes and resumed her “normal’’ condition and her seat at the same time. The lecture oceupied about an hour, was listened to attentively, and the hearers were generally well pleased with the effort. She gives another lecture at the Court House this evening, commencing at seven o’clook. Surcrpe.—Mr. J. D. Cooper, an old and wellknown resident of this county, and the owner of Cooper's bridge on the South Yuba, commitfriends of all the other candidates, Should the friends of Douglas conelude to withdraw his name from hefore the Convention, the most of them will doubtless east their votes for Andrew Johnson, of Tennessee. Aside from Douglas, Jonson is the best and most available man whose name has been mentioned in connection with the Presidency. He isa Democrat of the old school; his sympathies are with the people; he is @ firm eupporter of the homestead measure, and during his career in Congress bas invariably opposed appropriations for that aristocratic institution, the West Point Academy. He voted for Lecompton, more in deference to the feelings of his people than from a conviction that the measure was right, but has never sustained the proscriptive policy of the Administration, and is most cordially hated by the court-flics that infest the White House, which is pretty good evidence that he is a Democrat at Democratic State Conventions, assembled to elect delegates to Charleston, is all that is needed to establish its falsity. In each of the seven Western States, casting in the aggregate conic votes of the Union, the delegates to Charleston have been instructed to vote for Douglas; his friends have also cleeted every delegate in the New England States; two-thirds of the delegates from the three Middle States, and a majority of the Maryland and North Carolina delegations, If the admissions of the papers uafriendly to Douglas are to be relied on, he will have a clear majority of the votes in the Charlestoh Convention on the first ballot. On the otber band, only two States—Miesissippi and Alabama-—hbave instructed their delegates to vote for Davis, and there isno probability that he can get more than twenty-five or thirty out of the three hundred votes that will be cast in the Convention; and so far as is known nota siugle delegate has been clected who is favorable . to the nomination of either Stephens or Brown. . Instead of being the exponent of the principles of the Democratic masses, Jefferson Davis is merely the representative of a class of ingrained aristocrats, who are endeavoring to use the Democratic organization to carry out their despotic principles. They possess talent and shrewdness, and by the assistance of Buchanan’s adwinistration, which is but a tool in their hauds, they may possibly succeed in defeating the nomination of Douglas, who is emphatically and truly the representative of Democratic principles and the first choice of three-fourths of the Democratie voters. Tan Presivent’s PRorest.—A series of resolutions passed the Assembly one day last weck, denouncing the Louse of Representatives for instituting an investigation into the official conduct of the President aad other Federal officers, and approving the doctrine enuneiated in Buchanan’s Protest.

W, Ooleman was appointed guardian, to take charge of his property, and Cooper was sent to the ranch of a friend, Mr. D. OC, Dunagan, who lives on King’s river, in Fresno county. He had made one or two attempts to take his own life, and for a long time astrict watch was kept upon his movements; bat on the afternoon of the 12th inst, during the temporary absence of Mr. Dunogan, Cooper went into his room, and shot himself in the head with a pistol—the ball entering near the right temple and passing through the brain, A note was found in his possession, dated March 28th, in which he stated that he intended to put an end to his existence. Mr. Cooper was a native of South Carolina, but raised in Marshall co., Mies. His father and several brothers and sisters are now living in Tippah co, Miss. — Monierrat, Execrion.—The election for city officers, to serve for the ensuing year, takes place on the 7th proximo—one week from next Monday. The proper notiee will be found in another column. We believe there is no iutention of calling a convention, or of making avy political nominations, consequently it will be a free fight. The only office likely to be sought for is that of Marshal—that being the only paying office. Mr. E. O. Tompkins, the present Marshal, Mr. U. 8S. Gregory, and Mr. James Ballard are understood to be candidates for Marshal, and as a ticket will be made out by the friends of each aspirant the voters will have a variety of names from which to choose the other officers. Pt ar eee ere ee EST Tus Assembly, on Friday last, in a fit of generosity, paesed a resolution complimentary to the reporters employed by the papers of Sacramento, and voted that they should each receive four dollars a day, to be paid out of the confrom Auburn to Nevada, The bills require that the measures be accepted by a vote of the people before the stock can be subseribed. A copy of the Nevada county bill was sent to Nevada last week, for the inspection of parties interestedin the construction of the road. It. was drawn up with much care and with due regard for proteoting the county from Joss. But it is thought that the object can be accomplished without making the county a stockbolder in the road, and a substitdte for the Senate bill bas been drawn up and sent down, which will be presented in the Assembly when the bill comes before that body. The substitute provides that the eounty, in case the measure is approved by a majority of the voters, shall issue bonds to the amount of three hundred thousand dollars, in favor of the railroad company, taking the first mortgage bonds on the road as security. By the provisions of the bill, the completion of the road will be insured in case the bonds are issued, referred to the committee on Federal Relations. Raitnoap to Orovi.ie.—The total number of votes cast in Butte county, at the late election on the propesition for the county to subscribe for $200,000 worth of stock in the projected railroad from Maryeville to Oroville, was 3,724; majorily in favor of the proposition, 216. A strong determination is evinced to contest the election, but on what ground is not stated. The surveyor has already commenced bis work, and the first division, from Oroville to the Prairie House, will soon be ready for the contractors, Sririts at Fornst Crry.—The Downieville Democrat relates that at a spiritual circle, beld the other evening at Forest City, Judas Ssoariot informed the company that his mastor had bes . come reconciled to him, and tbat he, Iscariot, now enjoys as good accommodations as any one in Heaven, He uses the old argument: ‘If I hadn't betrayed him one of the others must have done it—that was understood : Peter was Vero or tus Butkuwap.—On Tuesday of last week, Gov, Downey took the Bulkheaders aback by sending to the Senate a message vetoing the measure, His grounds for withholding his assent to the bill, are, thatits provisions are in conflict with the constitution and the principles of natural justice, and that the measure as a whole is calculated to work irreparable injury to the commerce of the State. The message is of eonsiderable tength, and some of the reasons adduced by the Governer against the measure were not urged by ils opponente while the bill was before the Legislature. The consideration of the message was postponed until Friday, when Mr, Anderson, the chief engineer of the bill, having made a speech against the message, the whole subject was laid on the table. A majority of the Senators are in favor of the bill, but itcannot pass in either House over the Governor’s veto, There bas never been much feeling in regard to the bulkhead bill in this section, but the measure is looked upon as creating a huge monopoly, and the people are generally glad that the Governor has vetoed the bill, SnieutLy Mistaken,—The Butte Record says that Oroville, in 1856, cast a larger vote than either Marysville, Nevada, or Stockton, and that the voting population of Oroville was then outnumbered only by Sacramento and San Franeisco, The Reoord man is slightly mistaken. In 1856 Nevada was tho third town in the State, and according to the published vote, Oroville was the fifth, The vote of the five principal towns, im 1856, was as follows: San Francisvo, 12,152; Sacramento, 4,601; Nevada, 2,081; Marysville, 1,880; Oroville, 1,688, Since 1856, the vote of Nevada bas usually been a hundred qgso less than that of Marysville, but bee always been greater than the vote of Oroville, Bie Lowe.—A lump of pure gold, worth over a thousand dollars, was found last week ia the immediate vicinity of Shasta, —, Tux French Government has determined to debase its silver coin in order to stop the exportation of the metabfrom France, Ir is contended that a mass of the best cannel Christ’s second choice.’ Founp Drap.--Manucl Joseph, a native of Portugal, aged about 60 years, was found dead in his cabin, near Michigen Bluff, on the night of the llth inst, An inquest was held on the body the next day, and the jury found a verdict that he ‘died by a visitation of Providence.”’ This is an improvement on the verdict of the Mahomedan jury, that the man died because “his time had come,” . ConstiTuTiIonaL Convention.—The Assembly bill ealling a Constitutional Convention having been defeated in the Senate, Mr. Burson, of Humboldt, bas introduced a bill into the Aesembly submitting the question again to a vote of the people. Arizoxna.—The inhabitants of Arizona have . organized a provisional government by adopting a Constitution and electing officers, L. 8} Owings is Governor, and Ned, McGowan one of the Judges of the Supreme Court. Wa notice by our exchanges, that the Odd Fellows, in all parts of the State, are preparing to celebrate the 26th of April, (to-morrow,) that inconvenience to pleasure seekers, Tur Granp Jury SystemM.—There has lately been considerable discussion as to the advantages I and disadvantages of the Grand Jury system, many . contending that it should be abolished. The late . Grand Jury of Sacramento, in their report, referring . to this subject, say : “Among its benefits may be found the valuable time it saves of the Court, which is always expensive, with its numerous officers ; the opportunity it affords the poor and friendless to hear their grievances and complaints, and have them investigated without much loss of time or expense to them; also, the concealment fromthe public of many trivial causes not worthy of investigation in a court, and the security it aflords to persons making complaints . by its privacy. The evils in the system can be but few, if each grand juror discharges his duty faithfully.” One of the Jurors dissented from this opinion. MistaKEN.—The Grass Valley National, alludes to the bill recently introduced into the State Senate . by Mr. Chase, authorizing the county to subscribe . for stock inthe Auburn and Nevada railroad, in such a manner as to show that it is mistaken as to . the provisions of the bill, The bill whichhas passed . the Senate directs the county Supervisors to submit . the question to the people, and if a majority vote in . favor of the proposition, then the Supervisors are authorized to subscribe for stock to the amount of $200,000, on behalf ofthe county. It was never . contemplated that the county should assist in the construction of a railroad to Nevada unless the prop. osition was first submitted to a vote of the people, . and approved by them. a — . Seniovs Accrprnt.—A serious accident occur. red at Petaluma while a salute was being fired in honor of Goy. Downey, and those members of the Legislature who voted against the Bulkhead bill. . After the guns had been fired several times they became heated, and one was discharged prematurely, blowing off the left arm of Frank Cornell, and the . thumb of Mr. Jordan. Mr, Cornell’s arm was am. putated below the elbow, and he is now doing well. SrcRaAMENTO Races.—The spring races at the Centreville Course, Sacramento, commenced yes. terday, and the sports will be kept up most of the . week. The great four mile race between Ashland and Langford, for $10,000, takes place Thursday. Both horses are said to be in superb condition, and large amounts will be staked on the result, .

He informs us that the Comstock lead has been opene@ at different places from half a mile north of Virginia City to Gold Hill—a distance of four miles. At five different places between these points, companies are now at work taking out silver ore, and the vein has been struck ina number of other places. Not a foot of any of this ground could be purchased for less than five or six hundred dollars, and much of it would sell for as many thousands. He thinks that the prices now ruling for the ground are mneb below the intrinsic value, In the Walsh @laims they have a lead of silver ore a foot thick, the most of which yields $7,000 a ton, and the vein becomes richer aud heavier the deeper they go down. Silver ore bas been found in a number of other leads, but none of them can compare with the Comstock for richness. The Phoenix lead and the Desert lead, located some miles east-of Gold Hill, assay from $400 to $1,200 of silver to the ton. A vein of stove-coal, situated a few miles east of Virginia City, was discovered and taken up 4 few weeks ago, by Wm. Lindsey, formerly of this county. The coal has not been tested, but 27th, but it isnot likely that any nomination will be made previous to that date.

Of the candidates whose names will be presented tothe Convention, iu connection with the nomination for President, Senator Douglas is by far the most prominent, and the only man who has any positive strength, He will receive on the first ballot about balf the votes cast in the Convention, and as many of the delegates who have been instructed for other candidates hold Douglas as their second choice his nomination can only be defeated by the adoption of the two-thirds rule and a combination of the the vein ia believed to be valuable.

Srimrrvar, Leorvas.—Miss M. Munson, the celebrated clairvoyant, delivered a lecture at the Nevada Theater last Sunday afternoon, A very fair audience were in attendance, and at the bour appointed Miss Munson walled on the stage, took a seat, remained a few minutes as immovable asa statue, when her eyes closed, and giving one or two twitches she arose and eommenced her discourse. The subject of the lecture was, “What is Man?’ a question that fas never been eatisfactorily answered, nor did Miss Munson advance any new ideas upon the subject. She treated of man more particularly as an animal, and in accounting for his existence upon earth, adopted the Lamarckian theory of progressive dovelopment;—that is, man has been developed from the shell-fish, the same as the butterfly is developed from the caterpiller, or the bull-frog from the tadpole, Those who heard the lecture, and have a desire to pursue the matter further, will find the whole subject ably treated ina work entitled “The Vestiges of Creation.’’ The lecture was well-worded, spoken distinctly, and with gracefal and appropriate gestures. At the conclasion, and before coming out of the “abnormal” state, the lecturer invited any one in the audience to ask questions upon the subject discussed; but no questions were asked—the men and women present appearing to know enough already boot “Man.”? She then gave notice that she would lecture again in this place in the course of a few days, when she eeased speaking, turned her face partly from the audience, stood for about a minute, opened her eyes and resumed her “normal’’ condition and her seat at the same time. The lecture oceupied about an hour, was listened to attentively, and the hearers were generally well pleased with the effort. She gives another lecture at the Court House this evening, commencing at seven o’clook. Surcrpe.—Mr. J. D. Cooper, an old and wellknown resident of this county, and the owner of Cooper's bridge on the South Yuba, commitfriends of all the other candidates, Should the friends of Douglas conelude to withdraw his name from hefore the Convention, the most of them will doubtless east their votes for Andrew Johnson, of Tennessee. Aside from Douglas, Jonson is the best and most available man whose name has been mentioned in connection with the Presidency. He isa Democrat of the old school; his sympathies are with the people; he is @ firm eupporter of the homestead measure, and during his career in Congress bas invariably opposed appropriations for that aristocratic institution, the West Point Academy. He voted for Lecompton, more in deference to the feelings of his people than from a conviction that the measure was right, but has never sustained the proscriptive policy of the Administration, and is most cordially hated by the court-flics that infest the White House, which is pretty good evidence that he is a Democrat at Democratic State Conventions, assembled to elect delegates to Charleston, is all that is needed to establish its falsity. In each of the seven Western States, casting in the aggregate conic votes of the Union, the delegates to Charleston have been instructed to vote for Douglas; his friends have also cleeted every delegate in the New England States; two-thirds of the delegates from the three Middle States, and a majority of the Maryland and North Carolina delegations, If the admissions of the papers uafriendly to Douglas are to be relied on, he will have a clear majority of the votes in the Charlestoh Convention on the first ballot. On the otber band, only two States—Miesissippi and Alabama-—hbave instructed their delegates to vote for Davis, and there isno probability that he can get more than twenty-five or thirty out of the three hundred votes that will be cast in the Convention; and so far as is known nota siugle delegate has been clected who is favorable . to the nomination of either Stephens or Brown. . Instead of being the exponent of the principles of the Democratic masses, Jefferson Davis is merely the representative of a class of ingrained aristocrats, who are endeavoring to use the Democratic organization to carry out their despotic principles. They possess talent and shrewdness, and by the assistance of Buchanan’s adwinistration, which is but a tool in their hauds, they may possibly succeed in defeating the nomination of Douglas, who is emphatically and truly the representative of Democratic principles and the first choice of three-fourths of the Democratie voters.

W, Ooleman was appointed guardian, to take charge of his property, and Cooper was sent to the ranch of a friend, Mr. D. OC, Dunagan, who lives on King’s river, in Fresno county. He had made one or two attempts to take his own life, and for a long time astrict watch was kept upon his movements; bat on the afternoon of the 12th inst, during the temporary absence of Mr. Dunogan, Cooper went into his room, and shot himself in the head with a pistol—the ball entering near the right temple and passing through the brain, A note was found in his possession, dated March 28th, in which he stated that he intended to put an end to his existence. Mr. Cooper was a native of South Carolina, but raised in Marshall co., Mies. His father and several brothers and sisters are now living in Tippah co, Miss. — Monierrat, Execrion.—The election for city officers, to serve for the ensuing year, takes place on the 7th proximo—one week from next Monday. The proper notiee will be found in another column. We believe there is no iutention of calling a convention, or of making avy political nominations, consequently it will be a free fight. The only office likely to be sought for is that of Marshal—that being the only paying office. Mr. E. O. Tompkins, the present Marshal, Mr. U. 8S. Gregory, and Mr. James Ballard are understood to be candidates for Marshal, and as a ticket will be made out by the friends of each aspirant the voters will have a variety of names from which to choose the other officers. Pt ar eee ere ee EST Tus Assembly, on Friday last, in a fit of generosity, paesed a resolution complimentary to the reporters employed by the papers of Sacramento, and voted that they should each receive four dollars a day, to be paid out of the confrom Auburn to Nevada, The bills require that the measures be accepted by a vote of the people before the stock can be subseribed. A copy of the Nevada county bill was sent to Nevada last week, for the inspection of parties interestedin the construction of the road. It. was drawn up with much care and with due regard for proteoting the county from Joss. But it is thought that the object can be accomplished without making the county a stockbolder in the road, and a substitdte for the Senate bill bas been drawn up and sent down, which will be presented in the Assembly when the bill comes before that body. The substitute provides that the eounty, in case the measure is approved by a majority of the voters, shall issue bonds to the amount of three hundred thousand dollars, in favor of the railroad company, taking the first mortgage bonds on the road as security. By the provisions of the bill, the completion of the road will be insured in case the bonds are issued, referred to the committee on Federal Relations. Raitnoap to Orovi.ie.—The total number of votes cast in Butte county, at the late election on the propesition for the county to subscribe for $200,000 worth of stock in the projected railroad from Maryeville to Oroville, was 3,724; majorily in favor of the proposition, 216. A strong determination is evinced to contest the election, but on what ground is not stated. The surveyor has already commenced bis work, and the first division, from Oroville to the Prairie House, will soon be ready for the contractors, Sririts at Fornst Crry.—The Downieville Democrat relates that at a spiritual circle, beld the other evening at Forest City, Judas Ssoariot informed the company that his mastor had bes . come reconciled to him, and tbat he, Iscariot, now enjoys as good accommodations as any one in Heaven, He uses the old argument: ‘If I hadn't betrayed him one of the others must have done it—that was understood : Peter was Vero or tus Butkuwap.—On Tuesday of last week, Gov, Downey took the Bulkheaders aback by sending to the Senate a message vetoing the measure, His grounds for withholding his assent to the bill, are, thatits provisions are in conflict with the constitution and the principles of natural justice, and that the measure as a whole is calculated to work irreparable injury to the commerce of the State. The message is of eonsiderable tength, and some of the reasons adduced by the Governer against the measure were not urged by ils opponente while the bill was before the Legislature. The consideration of the message was postponed until Friday, when Mr, Anderson, the chief engineer of the bill, having made a speech against the message, the whole subject was laid on the table. A majority of the Senators are in favor of the bill, but itcannot pass in either House over the Governor’s veto, There bas never been much feeling in regard to the bulkhead bill in this section, but the measure is looked upon as creating a huge monopoly, and the people are generally glad that the Governor has vetoed the bill, SnieutLy Mistaken,—The Butte Record says that Oroville, in 1856, cast a larger vote than either Marysville, Nevada, or Stockton, and that the voting population of Oroville was then outnumbered only by Sacramento and San Franeisco, The Reoord man is slightly mistaken. In 1856 Nevada was tho third town in the State, and according to the published vote, Oroville was the fifth, The vote of the five

principal towns, im 1856, was as follows: San Francisvo, 12,152; Sacramento, 4,601; Nevada, 2,081; Marysville, 1,880; Oroville, 1,688, Since 1856, the vote of Nevada bas usually been a hundred qgso less than that of Marysville, but bee always been greater than the vote of Oroville, Bie Lowe.—A lump of pure gold, worth over a thousand dollars, was found last week ia the immediate vicinity of Shasta, —, Tux French Government has determined to debase its silver coin in order to stop the exportation of the metabfrom France, Ir is contended that a mass of the best cannel Christ’s second choice.’ Founp Drap.--Manucl Joseph, a native of Portugal, aged about 60 years, was found dead in his cabin, near Michigen Bluff, on the night of the llth inst, An inquest was held on the body the next day, and the jury found a verdict that he ‘died by a visitation of Providence.”’ This is an improvement on the verdict of the Mahomedan jury, that the man died because “his time had come,” .

Wa notice by our exchanges, that the Odd Fellows, in all parts of the State, are preparing to celebrate the 26th of April, (to-morrow,) that inconvenience to pleasure seekers, Tur Granp Jury SystemM.—There has lately been considerable discussion as to the advantages I and disadvantages of the Grand Jury system, many . contending that it should be abolished. The late . Grand Jury of Sacramento, in their report, referring . to this subject, say : “Among its benefits may be found the valuable time it saves of the Court, which is always expensive, with its numerous officers ; the opportunity it affords the poor and friendless to hear their grievances and complaints, and have them investigated without much loss of time or expense to them; also, the concealment fromthe public of many trivial causes not worthy of investigation in a court, and the security it aflords to persons making complaints . by its privacy.
