Assessor—James Funston. The following persons were appointed as the Democratic City Committee for the ensuing year: Jcbhn W. Grier, Michael Sullivan, and T. H. Rolfe, Mr. Abbott having declined the nomination, the City Committee subsequently met and nominated John Pattison in his place, The candidates are all eld residents of Nevada, well known to nearly every voter, and for that reason any recommendation from us would be superfluous. That the ticket will be elected by a large majority, we do not entertain a doubt. Tue Heerertax.—We have received the April number of this magazine, which, in its mechanical appearance isnot behind the preceding number, It contains a portrait of the late Thos, 0. Larkin, and a well-written sketch of his life; also a colored engraving of the red cuckoo. This magazine is a credit to the State, and deserves a liberal patronage. Every number contains articles of interest. Courr or Sessions.—The regular term of the Court of Sessions commences next Monday— that being the day fixed, by an act of the late Legislature. We understand itis the intention of the Court to order a vinire for a Grand Jury returnable on the 27th proximo, and adjourn until that time, when. Mr. Belden, the County Judge elect, will take his seat. _ Free ar Bostow Ravive.—Between nine and ten o’clock, on the evening of the 19th, a fire occurred at Boston Ravine, near Grass Valley, which consumed two or three small buildings. The loss, according to the National, is about $1,000. The light was plainly visible at Neyada, and for a while it was feared that Grass Valley had again been consumed. —— Nevapa Liprary,—A meeting of the Nevada Library Association, will be held at their room to-morrow (Thursday) evening, at which all the members are requested to attend. The object of the meeting is to make arrangements to send to the East the funds now on hand for the purchase of books, PersonaL.—We had the pleasure, yesterday. of meeting Hon. John Caldwell, Assemblyman from this county, who has just returned from Sacramento, Mr. Caldwell is one of the few members of the late Legislature, who can show aclean record, and whose acts as a member will bear the closest scrutiny. Insuraxce.—Mr. H. Mackie, the agent of Freeman & Co’s Express, in this place, has the agency of a number of responsible fire insurance companies, and is prepared to insure property on the most reasonable terms. Parties desirous of having their property insured will do well teaies Pate with ad 9 -Cxoraine.—Sol. Kohlman has just received at his store, corner of Broad and Piue streets, an_extensive and elegant assortment of spring oud camnmet clothing, gents’ furnishing goods, together tho representatives of the Democracy at an early day. The candidates will have ample time to thoroughly canvass the State, aud the cause of Popular Sovereignty bas nothing to lose, but every thing to gain, by «fall. and free discussion, ; The approaching political contest, from the indieations already given out, promises to be interesting and exeiting. It is stated that Senators Broderick and Gwin will both take the stump, immediately after the nominations, and visit every part of the State. The services of the best stump orators in the State will doubtless also be brought. into requisition, and every inch of ground will be flercely contested. Io view of the fact that a fall State ticket is to be elected, and of the greater interest manifested in the result, there is every reason to believe that the popular vote of the State at the next election will exceed that of laet year by at least 20,000. It would be idle at present to epeculate upon the reeult of the approaching contest, as much will depend upon the action of the Conventions which assemble in June next. But under any circumstances, it may be taken asa fixed fact that the trae Demooracy will make large gains upon the vote of Inst year. The Republicans ae yet have taken no action towards calling a State Convention, and probably will not until after the other parties make their noainations. Public Expenditures. The Sacramento Union gives a list of appropriations made by the late Legislature, for the current expentes of the fiseal year, whieh amount to the enormous sum of $916,040 74; the elaime allowed against the State and audited by the Legislature amounted to $18,770 59. 7] If we add to these sums the $273,000, annually paid as inteerest on the public debi, we sball have $1,208,310 31, as the annual expenses of the State government. This is nearly double the amount estimated by the Governor and Controller at the beginning of the session. 0. Some of the appropriations may be regarded as extra—that will not have to be made another year—but it must be remembered that every year has its extras, and without ao entire change of State policy there is no hope of & reduction of the public expenditares. If we take into consideration the fact that all demands against the State are now paid in ensb, the late Legislature must be regarded as the most extravagant one that has yet had control of the public purse. Sow In THE Mountains.—At Bear Valley, io this county, the snow at present is from three to five feet deep. In this valley there has been little or no rain, and the snow during the winter has fallen to the depth of about twenty-five feet, according to measurements made by a gentleman of that place. At Six Mile Valley, the snow is now about six feetin depth. Mr. Daniel Rich, who bas a house near Devil’s Peak, six miles this side of the summit, recently made a trip to that place, He was accompanied by another man, and the trip was made on snow shoes. At the Peak, and around the lakes, the snow averages about fourteen feet. The house was completely buried in the snow, but they managed to get into it by going down the chimney, and procuring shovels they immediately went to work and run a tunnel through the snow so as to enter the house by the door. They slept in the house two nights, and then took their departure for a more temperate clime, Gen. J. W. Denver arrived in this State on the last steamer, and is already announced as a candidate for Governor on the administration ticket. For the past eight years Gen. Denver bas constantly held either a State or Federal office, and for a while was the possessor of two offices at the same time. But having lately resigned his position as Commissioner of Indian Affairs, he must be provided for again as soon as possible. It surely must have been an oversight that the President neglected to give him some appointment, to bold until he could be inaugurated as Governor. SsxTexcep To Deata.—The sentence of Jacob Ellyea, convicted of the murder of McWade, at Stockton, was pronounced by Judge Creanor on Thursday last. The prisoner’s counsel attempted to procure a atay of proceedings, on the ground that he Sad been convicted on the evidence of one Martin, a Turk, who, it was contended, was incompetent to testify against a white man, Judge Creanor overruled the motion, and sentenced Ellyea to be bung on the 3d of June next. The accused denied having committed the murder, and stated that the Turk bad sworn falsely from beginning to end. Kansas Convsntion.—The election to decide on the question of calling a Convention to frame another Constitution for Kansas, was held on the 27th of March. At Leavenworth city, the only point heard from, the question was decided in [the affirmative by a large majority; in fact, no active opposition was made at that place. The next overland mail will doubtless bring the resultof the vote in the Territory. Svupden Deatu.—Capt. J. N. Briceland, an old and much respected citizen of Shasta, fell dead on Saturday afternoon, while at work near his mill. Disease of the heart is supposed to have caused his death. TL TT cm Surcips.—Lizsie Lasell, a young girl sixteen years of age, livingat Mary Turnbull’s house of ill-fame, Sacramento, died Monday morning from the effects of a dose of laudanum, which she took the day before, in consequence of haying been deserted by her lover. Mrs. Esreriz Porren McDonaup is announced to appear on the stage at Marysville, next Monday evening. Counry Business.—The County Supervisors meeton Monday next, May 2d, to transact county business, Tux Curesx, at Auburn, are becoming more and more addicted to thieving, cise tieeresetonrereerbinieeividadinht Tue ALLEGHaNIANS are giving concerts in the southern mines. eat eee re 6 aE Rs oy EET IO ER A == ae To the Public. e Jas of the Journal appears anoth+ Py ary i satio ee oe “great 4 been perpertrated upoo “that 2 of rong that he oa been { 12th of . society” by the refusal of the Trustees to apacted wisely in calling} point him as teacher of the public echools. I shall not attempt to follow through the entire communication, but will merely notice one or two assertions. ; Mr. Stratton says that the Trustees had expelled the bible from the the sehools, but in consequence of the “thrillingly eloquent’? discourse of Mr. Dryden they were forced to “bow before the gathering storm,” and the result is that the bible bas again made its appearance in the public schools, as he is “informed.” I can inform Mr. Stratton that he bas been wrongly “informed” on this subject. If the mere fact that he was not appointed teacher of the school amounted to an expulsion of the bible, the good book remains expelled, for the Trustees have taken no action in the matter since the teacher was appointed. The “gathering storm” is all in Mr. Stratton’s imagination. In his previous communication, Mr. Stratton made several statements ia regard te my connection with this matter, which were net true. I regarded it as a daty to place the matter before the public in its true light, and he now refers to my former communication as s *‘personal attack’? on him. If what I said can be regarded as a “personal attack” on Mr. Stratton, I was certainly only repelling » “personal attack,’’ which he had made against me. Ifa man wishes to escape being attacked he should avoid attacks upon others. So far as the matof veracity is concerned, I can merely reiterate in substance what I said last week—that I never promised to vote for Mr. Stratton as teacher, either befure or after he had explained hie terms, nor did I ever tell him that Mr, Anderson and myself would have voted for him had he consented to give up the bible. I. J, Rours. Nevada, April 26th, 1859. Mexico anp Sarpinta.—The Washington correspondent of the New York Zimes says that private letters have been received at Wasbington, from Mexico, giving the details of a secret treaty entered into between Miramon and the government of Sardinia. By this treaty, Mexico grants to Sardinia the States of Tehuantepec, Tobasco, and Chiapa, for which Sardinia is to pay Miramon $5,000,000, The story is highly improbable, The king of Sardinia has no money to spare; and besides, he is at present so busily engaged in regulating the affairs of Italy, that he will not be likely to interfere in Mexican matters. e Nor Dxap.—It will be remembered that Kellersberger, formerly Swiss Consul at San Francieco, became peculiarly involved some months ago, and mysteriously disappeared. A few weeks after his disappearance, a corpse was found near Santa Cruz, supposed to be that of Kellersberger, and it was given out that he bad committed suicide. We learn, however, from the Italian paper recently started at San Francisco, that Kellersberger is still alive, and now residing on the Isthmus of Tehuantepec. Hier Water.—The Amador Ledger says that the Mokelumne river has been very high during the past week. At Lancha Plana the water has made a new channel, running across the low ground between Lancha and Poverty Bar. Last Wednesday the water was so deep in the new channel that a Chinaman oame very near drowning his teamin endeavoring to ford it, A Natura Cuniosiry.—The Red Bluff Beacon is informed that the head and shoulders of “LETTER FROM SACRAMENTO. _ t a let from r “village” a an to your r _ intruding descant on e day. ~ In the political muddle, the pot Loils finely. ‘Ttranspired a8'to the result of his The jr op Europe are to March 19 The ia ce continues warlike, ad Lord Cowley bad returned from 1 mission to Vienna, Nothing puthe there seems to be little hope of maintaining Political ends are being shaped, ropes laid, and . peace wires pulled. One would think, and very naturally too, that the adjournment of the Legislature would-be the eue for vacating the town —but notso, A great many members of the late Legislature are still here, log-rolling for the Conventions which meet in abont two months. Members of the third and fourth houses also “Jay around loose,’ having no money they are not able to get back to their dear constituents, so we shall have to harbor the bummers and hangers-on until next session. Mr. Anderson, the renowned tragedian has been performing here the past week to crowded houses. Miss Morant, the renowned, accomplished and handsome actress, accompanies Mr. A.; she is undoubtedly the best actress in America. Your isolated denizens will have the pleasure of witnessing the representations of these celebrated artists, and judge for yourselves of their merits, We part with them regretfully, and hope again to be favored with their enrapturing and life-like impersonations. The Misses Webb are sojourning at the “St. George” at present, preparatory to another trip in the interior. The are pleasing little girls, and thought much of here. A line of omnibusses traverse our principal thoroughfares, not unlike those of Eastern cities. They are well patronized and deserving. The fare is only a “bit”? for about two miles ride, and very many idle persons ride for pleasure. The Odd Fellows are making preparations for a grand anniversary ball, on Tuesday evening, which promises to eclipse the “huge’’ legislative hop. The I. O. of O. F’s. are very numerous heresbouts, and are represented by the best men in the city. The opposition boat still continues to take passengers for the very low price of 25 cents, to San Francisco, and the monopoly line for 50 cents. How long this ruinous state of affairs will last I know not, but both are obstinate, and the result may terminate disastrously —to the weaker party. The weather has been delightful, and all the world scems gay. Yours, Eaton Bor. Minrxa.—From the San Juan Press, of Satarday, we gather the following mining items : The Bloomer Company, at San Juan, took out after a short run $703. Moore & Readshaw’s last washing yielded $1.175. The Ohio claims produced $1,336 50; Winham’s $1,544 ; the Sailor claims $1,487; and Dutch Mat’s ground $352, The weekly purchases of dust by the different buyers reach a very bigh sum, and are larger now than they have been for some time. At Shady creek, Stevens & Co. recently . cleaned np $741. The Irish Company, at Montezuma, lately took from their drift claims the sum of $562. At Freeman’s crossing, Bart & Madison, cleaned up in their claims on Sierra Bar after a week’s run, over $400, netting them $27 a day to the hand. The claims of Parker & Co., adjoining, are paying at the rate of $17 per diem to the hand, Strate Treastry.—At the close of business, . on Saturday last the State Treasury contained $612,861 65, divided among the several funds as follows: General Fund $368,891 99 Hospital Fund 1,479 81 School Fund 22,221 39 Military Fund 2,413 87 Library Fund 2,108 52 Interest andSinking Fund of ’57 148,618 64 a petrified panther, were found a few days since, near the bead of Red Bank Creek, in that county, neatly packed in a case of singular material, resembling in shape, the horn of an ox. California abounds in natural curiosities. Acquirrrp.—Thos. Seals, indicted in Santa Clara county for the murder of Paul C. Shores, had his second trial at San Leandro last week, and was acquitted by the jury. On the first trial, the jury failed to agree, QuagTeRLy Mxztixa.—The quarter!y meeting of the M. E. Church, Seuth, for Penn Valley Circuit, commences at the brick church, Nevada, to-morrow evening, at half past seven o’clock. New Sartoon.—Mr. J. M. Flurshutz has just fitted up an elegant ice cream and confectionary saloon, on Broad street, a few doors above the corner of Pine. We direct attention to his advertisement in another column. Bu.kaeapd Hats.—Sol Koblman has just received a supply of “Bulkhead,” or “Seawall,”’ hats, which sre going off with a rush. Those desirous of keeping up with the fashion, and at the same time procuring a neat and durable hat, should give Sol a call. Messrs. Stratman, MoGion & Co., newspaper dealers of San Francisco, have our thanks for late numbers of the Irish News and Southern Citizen. Excuaners,—We are indebted to Mr, Mackie, of Freeman & Co’s. Express, who, as usual, bas supplied us with State exchanges during the past week. Hone mm Erricgy,—In accordance with the Catholic custom in Spanish countries, the Mexicans of San Francisco celebrated the last day of Lent—Saturday, the 23d—by hanging Judas Is cariot in effigy. TENNESSEE.—The opposition State Convention of Tennessee met at Nashville, March 29th, and nominated John Netherlands for Governor. Honey Laxe.—The citizens of Honey Lake Valley have recently held a convention, to consider the question as to whether they ought to claim protection under the laws of Utah Territory, or under those of California. They determined in favor of the former, and have drawn up a memorial, asking Gov. Cumming for the formation of a county, and the appointment of a Probate or County Judge. Ropperies at Jacxson.—On Thureday of this week the room of Wm. Bristow, in this place, was entered in the day time anda valuable watch and some other articles stolen therefrom. Another person whose name we have not learned, had his pocked picked of a watch while he was ih ta inebriated, on the same day,— Ledger 23d.

Sairria Woop.—The editor of the Marysville Democrat bas been shown a petrifaction which came from near Humbug, in this county. It was found a very considerable distance under the surface of the earth, and was broken from a piece of petrified substance ten or fifteen feet in length. It was embedded in slush of a yellowish color, and thoroughly coated with the same. The petrification is the most complete that we have ever seen, and the specimen in question a most beautiful production of geological formation, It is evidently a piece of the species of wood celebrated ia Scripture as the Shittim wood, out of which the Ark of the Covenant and other articlesof Jewish workmanship were constructed, the resemblance being so close as to admit of very little doubt. The probability is all the better established from the fact that the Shittim wood is at this time actually growing in the mountains adjacent. This wood, which is a species of the acacia, is hard and smooth and of a grain so fine that the naked eye can scarcely discover a fiber in its texture. No doubt it will be extensively used some day in this country, in the manufacture of elegant furniture and every species of superior cabinet workmanship. An ApMireR.—A miner from Diamond Springs came down on the stage yesterday, expressly, as he stated, to see Senator Broderick. e landed at the “Orleans,” and being advised that Broderick stopped at the ‘Union,’ adjoining, and getting no satisfaction on calling there, he stepped into the middle of the street and commenced hallooing for Broderick. He was then. escorted into the Hotel; Judge McCorkle was called in and introduced as Broderick. Our miner caught him round the neck, and hugged him like.a grizzly, inducing “Mac’’ to deny that he was any one but himself. The miner insisted that he was not mistaken, especially as a number of persons present asserted the fact.—Sac. Union, 22d. A Learnep LeaisLator.—The Sonora Herald gives an account of a trial that recently took place there, wherein a pig was the subject of controversy. The Hon. Mr. Buck, one of the Assemblymeno from Tuolumne county, drew up the complaint in the cause, and described the animal as a “white sough pig.’’ We wonder if he is troubled with such bad spells as that. We suppose the learned Legislator had been reading some poetical work which spoke of “The west wind’s mournful sough,”’ and could not easily lower himself from such exalted subjects to a pig pen. InrorMATION Wantep.—A distressed widow and mother, Minerva Reid, who resides at Pleasant Lake, Indiana, is anxious to hear some tidings of her son, Wesley Reid, who is now supposed to be in California. Any person having a knowledge of his whereabouts will confer a lasting favor upon the sorrowing parent, by addressing a note to her at Pleasant Lake, or to W. M. Cary, Placerville. . The Paris correspondents of the London press regard the situation of affairs as critical, and speak of the continuance of -warlike preparations. The funds on the Paris Bourse continued to decline, aud a panic had occurred in the Vienna money market. The King of Sardinia bas called ont his reserved troops aud made new levies. It is also reported that he has applied to France for the aid of 75,000 men. e Austrian and Sardinian troops are extremely menacing. The former is continuing the armament most energetically, and an outbreak in Central Italy is almost daily anticipated. There are several items from France, which tend to show war inevitable. Itis current that the Lyons Railway had received orders to be ready to transport 75,000 troops with dispatch. The Moniteur contains a decree appointing 16 Generals and 13 Colonels. The Emperor of France bas pardoned several hundred soldiers. It is reported that a secret treaty exists between the King of Sardinia and Napoleon. Mr. Morgredien, the President of the London Chess Club, who went to France to play a match with Morphy, has been terribly beaten. The winner of the first seven games was to be the victor of the match, The result is as folmes, Mr. Molows :—Mr. Morphy won seven Drawn, one gredien won no game at al me. airs Preston, the American Minister to Spain, has had an audience with the Queen, during which the most friendly sentiments were expressed on both sides. Tue Paracuay Expepitioy.—A Washington correspondent under date of March 22d says : Some important information as to the progress of the Paraguay expedition has been received in private letters from persons who are attached to it. One of these writers says: If Lopez resolves on resistance, our naval force must confine itself to a blockade, which may last till next October, when the rise of the river will enable reinforcements to reach it. But to make an attack with the present ferce would be says the writer, more desperate than the charge of the *Light Brigade” at Balaclava. lt is uncertain whether it belongs to the Commissioner or to the Naval Commander to deal with the Government of Buenos Ayres upon the nice question which it makes against our right to enter her waters without leave. England, says that Government, asked for leave. Perhaps we would not have obtained it so readily upon asking, and therefore Commodore Shubrick took it. This is one of the many questions in which we may become involved with the States on the La Platte and its tribntaries, before this expedition comes to an end. Deatu or Bi.ty Bowiecs.—The Fort Smith (Ark.) Zimes, of March 31st, under the caption of “Another great man fallen,’’ has the following: We learn from Mr. George M. Aird, who arrived yesterday, from the Seminole country, that Rilly Bowlegs died suddenly at the house of John Jumper, on Friday, the 11th inst. There was great lamentations aud loud wailings among his people, the Seminoles, The late emigrants had not arrived in the country at the time of Bowlegs’ death. Mr. Aird met Col. Rutherford with them about forty miles this side of the Seminole country. They will, therefore be deprived of the privilege of meeting their old leader aud chief. Thus bas passed away one who bas been a terror to the setlers of Florida, and oneof the greatest ¢hiefs and Indian warriors of the present day. Tuer Sickines Case.—The trial of Daniel E. Sickles, for the killing of Key, was to have taken place about the first of April. The Washington correspondent of the St. Louis Reublican, in speaking of the case, says : The opinion prevails that Judge Crawford, who presides over the Criminal Court, will throw all his inflence against the prisoner, which, together with the influence of Chief Justice Taney, (the uncle of the deceased) and Key’s personal friends in this city, may secure the conviction of Sickles; yet the latter basa warm personal friend in the President of the United States, who holds the pardoning power, and whose sympathies are altogether with the accused. Not only this, but the Cabinet, with the exception of a single member, iudorses the eourse Sickles pursued as the only one left him under the painful circumstances of the case. Therefore it is safe to predict that Sickles will not be punished whatever may be the result of the trial. IncenpIarisM.—An_ incendiary attempt was made on Sunday night, April 17th. A fire was kindled in a vacant house on China atreet, but luckily was discovered before it got fairly under headway. MARRIED. At the National Exchange, in this city, April 25th, by Rey. D. A.

Assessor—James Funston. The following persons were appointed as the Democratic City Committee for the ensuing year: Jcbhn W. Grier, Michael Sullivan, and T. H. Rolfe, Mr. Abbott having declined the nomination, the City Committee subsequently met and nominated John Pattison in his place, The candidates are all eld residents of Nevada, well known to nearly every voter, and for that reason any recommendation from us would be superfluous. That the ticket will be elected by a large majority, we do not entertain a doubt. Tue Heerertax.—We have received the April number of this magazine, which, in its mechanical appearance isnot behind the preceding number, It contains a portrait of the late Thos, 0. Larkin, and a well-written sketch of his life; also a colored engraving of the red cuckoo. This magazine is a credit to the State, and deserves a liberal patronage. Every number contains articles of interest. Courr or Sessions.—The regular term of the Court of Sessions commences next Monday— that being the day fixed, by an act of the late Legislature. We understand itis the intention of the Court to order a vinire for a Grand Jury returnable on the 27th proximo, and adjourn until that time, when. Mr. Belden, the County Judge elect, will take his seat. _ Free ar Bostow Ravive.—Between nine and ten o’clock, on the evening of the 19th, a fire occurred at Boston Ravine, near Grass Valley, which consumed two or three small buildings. The loss, according to the National, is about $1,000. The light was plainly visible at Neyada, and for a while it was feared that Grass Valley had again been consumed. —— Nevapa Liprary,—A meeting of the Nevada Library Association, will be held at their room to-morrow (Thursday) evening, at which all the members are requested to attend. The object of the meeting is to make arrangements to send to the East the funds now on hand for the purchase of books, PersonaL.—We had the pleasure, yesterday. of meeting Hon. John Caldwell, Assemblyman from this county, who has just returned from Sacramento, Mr. Caldwell is one of the few members of the late Legislature, who can show aclean record, and whose acts as a member will bear the closest scrutiny. Insuraxce.—Mr. H. Mackie, the agent of Freeman & Co’s Express, in this place, has the agency of a number of responsible fire insurance companies, and is prepared to insure property on the most reasonable terms. Parties desirous of having their property insured will do well teaies Pate with ad 9 -Cxoraine.—Sol. Kohlman has just received at his store, corner of Broad and Piue streets, an_extensive and elegant assortment of spring oud camnmet clothing, gents’ furnishing goods, together tho representatives of the Democracy at an early day. The candidates will have ample time to thoroughly canvass the State, aud the cause of Popular Sovereignty bas nothing to lose, but every thing to gain, by «fall. and free discussion, ; The approaching political contest, from the indieations already given out, promises to be interesting and exeiting. It is stated that Senators Broderick and Gwin will both take the stump, immediately after the nominations, and visit every part of the State. The services of the best stump orators in the State will doubtless also be brought. into requisition, and every inch of ground will be flercely contested. Io view of the fact that a fall State ticket is to be elected, and of the greater interest manifested in the result, there is every reason to believe that the popular vote of the State at the next election will exceed that of laet year by at least 20,000. It would be idle at present to epeculate upon the reeult of the approaching contest, as much will depend upon the action of the Conventions which assemble in June next. But under any circumstances, it may be taken asa fixed fact that the trae Demooracy will make large gains upon the vote of Inst year. The Republicans ae yet have taken no action towards calling a State Convention, and probably will not until after the other parties make their noainations. Public Expenditures. The Sacramento Union gives a list of appropriations made by the late Legislature, for the current expentes of the fiseal year, whieh amount to the enormous sum of $916,040 74; the elaime allowed against the State and audited by the Legislature amounted to $18,770 59. 7] If we add to these sums the $273,000, annually paid as inteerest on the public debi, we sball have $1,208,310 31, as the annual expenses of the State government. This is nearly double the amount estimated by the Governor and Controller at the beginning of the session. 0. Some of the appropriations may be regarded as extra—that will not have to be made another year—but it must be remembered that every year has its extras, and without ao entire change of State policy there is no hope of & reduction of the public expenditares. If we take into consideration the fact that all demands against the State are now paid in ensb, the late Legislature must be regarded as the most extravagant one that has yet had control of the public purse. Sow In THE Mountains.—At Bear Valley, io this county, the snow at present is from three to five feet deep. In this valley there has been little or no rain, and the snow during the winter has fallen to the depth of about twenty-five feet, according to measurements made by a gentleman of that place. At Six Mile Valley, the snow is now about six feetin depth. Mr. Daniel Rich, who bas a house near Devil’s Peak, six miles this side of the summit, recently made a trip to that place, He was accompanied by another man, and the trip was made on snow shoes. At the Peak, and around the lakes, the snow averages about fourteen feet. The house was completely buried in the snow, but they managed to get into it by going down the chimney, and procuring shovels they immediately went to work and run a tunnel through the snow so as to enter the house by the door. They slept in the house two nights, and then took their departure for a more temperate clime, Gen. J. W. Denver arrived in this State on the last steamer, and is already announced as a candidate for Governor on the administration ticket. For the past eight years Gen. Denver bas constantly held either a State or Federal office, and for a while was the possessor of two offices at the same time. But having lately resigned his position as Commissioner of Indian Affairs, he must be provided for again as soon as possible. It surely must have been an oversight that the President neglected to give him some appointment, to bold until he could be inaugurated as Governor. SsxTexcep To Deata.—The sentence of Jacob Ellyea, convicted of the murder of McWade, at Stockton, was pronounced by Judge Creanor on Thursday last. The prisoner’s counsel attempted to procure a atay of proceedings, on the ground that he Sad been convicted on the evidence of one Martin, a Turk, who, it was contended, was incompetent to testify against a white man, Judge Creanor overruled the motion, and sentenced Ellyea to be bung on the 3d of June next. The accused denied having committed the murder, and stated that the Turk bad sworn falsely from beginning to end. Kansas Convsntion.—The election to decide on the question of calling a Convention to frame another Constitution for Kansas, was held on the 27th of March. At Leavenworth city, the only point heard from, the question was decided in [the affirmative by a large majority; in fact, no active opposition was made at that place. The next overland mail will doubtless bring the resultof the vote in the Territory. Svupden Deatu.—Capt. J. N. Briceland, an old and much respected citizen of Shasta, fell dead on Saturday afternoon, while at work near his mill. Disease of the heart is supposed to have caused his death. TL TT cm Surcips.—Lizsie Lasell, a young girl sixteen years of age, livingat Mary Turnbull’s house of ill-fame, Sacramento, died Monday morning from the effects of a dose of laudanum, which she took the day before, in consequence of haying been deserted by her lover. Mrs. Esreriz Porren McDonaup is announced to appear on the stage at Marysville, next Monday evening.

I shall not attempt to follow through the entire communication, but will merely notice one or two assertions. ; Mr. Stratton says that the Trustees had expelled the bible from the the sehools, but in consequence of the “thrillingly eloquent’? discourse of Mr. Dryden they were forced to “bow before the gathering storm,” and the result is that the bible bas again made its appearance in the public schools, as he is “informed.” I can inform Mr. Stratton that he bas been wrongly “informed” on this subject. If the mere fact that he was not appointed teacher of the school amounted to an expulsion of the bible, the good book remains expelled, for the Trustees have taken no action in the matter since the teacher was appointed. The “gathering storm” is all in Mr. Stratton’s imagination. In his previous communication, Mr. Stratton made several statements ia regard te my connection with this matter, which were net true. I regarded it as a daty to place the matter before the public in its true light, and he now refers to my former communication as s *‘personal attack’? on him. If what I said can be regarded as a “personal attack” on Mr. Stratton, I was certainly only repelling » “personal attack,’’ which he had made against me. Ifa man wishes to escape being attacked he should avoid attacks upon others. So far as the matof veracity is concerned, I can merely reiterate in substance what I said last week—that I never promised to vote for Mr. Stratton as teacher, either befure or after he had explained hie terms, nor did I ever tell him that Mr, Anderson and myself would have voted for him had he consented to give up the bible. I. J, Rours. Nevada, April 26th, 1859. Mexico anp Sarpinta.—The Washington correspondent of the New York Zimes says that private letters have been received at Wasbington, from Mexico, giving the details of a secret treaty entered into between Miramon and the government of Sardinia. By this treaty, Mexico grants to Sardinia the States of Tehuantepec, Tobasco, and Chiapa, for which Sardinia is to pay Miramon $5,000,000, The story is highly improbable, The king of Sardinia has no money to spare; and besides, he is at present so busily engaged in regulating the affairs of Italy, that he will not be likely to interfere in Mexican matters. e Nor Dxap.—It will be remembered that Kellersberger, formerly Swiss Consul at San Francieco, became peculiarly involved some months ago, and mysteriously disappeared. A few weeks after his disappearance, a corpse was found near Santa Cruz, supposed to be that of Kellersberger, and it was given out that he bad committed suicide. We learn, however, from the Italian paper recently started at San Francisco, that Kellersberger is still alive, and now residing on the Isthmus of Tehuantepec. Hier Water.—The Amador Ledger says that the Mokelumne river has been very high during the past week. At Lancha Plana the water has made a new channel, running across the low ground between Lancha and Poverty Bar. Last Wednesday the water was so deep in the new channel that a Chinaman oame very near drowning his teamin endeavoring to ford it, A Natura Cuniosiry.—The Red Bluff Beacon is informed that the head and shoulders of “LETTER FROM SACRAMENTO. _ t a let from r “village” a an to your r _ intruding descant on e day. ~ In the political muddle, the pot Loils finely. ‘Ttranspired a8'to the result of his The jr op Europe are to March 19 The ia ce continues warlike, ad Lord Cowley bad returned from 1 mission to Vienna, Nothing puthe there seems to be little hope of maintaining Political ends are being shaped, ropes laid, and . peace wires pulled. One would think, and very naturally too, that the adjournment of the Legislature would-be the eue for vacating the town —but notso, A great many members of the late Legislature are still here, log-rolling for the Conventions which meet in abont two months. Members of the third and fourth houses also “Jay around loose,’ having no money they are not able to get back to their dear constituents, so we shall have to harbor the bummers and hangers-on until next session. Mr. Anderson, the renowned tragedian has been performing here the past week to crowded houses. Miss Morant, the renowned, accomplished and handsome actress, accompanies Mr. A.; she is undoubtedly the best actress in America. Your isolated denizens will have the pleasure of witnessing the representations of these celebrated artists, and judge for yourselves of their merits, We part with them regretfully, and hope again to be favored with their enrapturing and life-like impersonations. The Misses Webb are sojourning at the “St. George” at present, preparatory to another trip in the interior. The are pleasing little girls, and thought much of here. A line of omnibusses traverse our principal thoroughfares, not unlike those of Eastern cities. They are well patronized and deserving. The fare is only a “bit”? for about two miles ride, and very many idle persons ride for pleasure. The Odd Fellows are making preparations for a grand anniversary ball, on Tuesday evening, which promises to eclipse the “huge’’ legislative hop. The I. O. of O. F’s. are very numerous heresbouts, and are represented by the best men in the city. The opposition boat still continues to take passengers for the very low price of 25 cents, to San Francisco, and the monopoly line for 50 cents. How long this ruinous state of affairs will last I know not, but both are obstinate, and the result may terminate disastrously —to the weaker party. The weather has been delightful, and all the world scems gay. Yours, Eaton Bor. Minrxa.—From the San Juan Press, of Satarday, we gather the following mining items : The Bloomer Company, at San Juan, took out after a short run $703. Moore & Readshaw’s last washing yielded $1.175. The Ohio claims produced $1,336 50; Winham’s $1,544 ; the Sailor claims $1,487; and Dutch Mat’s ground $352, The weekly purchases of dust by the different buyers reach a very bigh sum, and are larger now than they have been for some time. At Shady creek, Stevens & Co. recently . cleaned np $741. The Irish Company, at Montezuma, lately took from their drift claims the sum of $562. At Freeman’s crossing, Bart & Madison, cleaned up in their claims on Sierra Bar after a week’s run, over $400, netting them $27 a day to the hand. The claims of Parker & Co., adjoining, are paying at the rate of $17 per diem to the hand, Strate Treastry.—At the close of business, . on Saturday last the State Treasury contained $612,861 65, divided among the several funds as follows: General Fund $368,891 99 Hospital Fund 1,479 81 School Fund 22,221 39 Military Fund 2,413 87 Library Fund 2,108 52 Interest andSinking Fund of ’57 148,618 64 a petrified panther, were found a few days since, near the bead of Red Bank Creek, in that county, neatly packed in a case of singular material, resembling in shape, the horn of an ox. California abounds in natural curiosities. Acquirrrp.—Thos. Seals, indicted in Santa Clara county for the murder of Paul C. Shores, had his second trial at San Leandro last week, and was acquitted by the jury. On the first trial, the jury failed to agree, QuagTeRLy Mxztixa.—The quarter!y meeting of the M. E. Church, Seuth, for Penn Valley Circuit, commences at the brick church, Nevada, to-morrow evening, at half past seven o’clock. New Sartoon.—Mr. J. M. Flurshutz has just fitted up an elegant ice cream and confectionary saloon, on Broad street, a few doors above the corner of Pine. We direct attention to his advertisement in another column. Bu.kaeapd Hats.—Sol Koblman has just received a supply of “Bulkhead,” or “Seawall,”’ hats, which sre going off with a rush. Those desirous of keeping up with the fashion, and at the same time procuring a neat and durable hat, should give Sol a call. Messrs. Stratman, MoGion & Co., newspaper dealers of San Francisco, have our thanks for late numbers of the Irish News and Southern Citizen. Excuaners,—We are indebted to Mr, Mackie, of Freeman & Co’s. Express, who, as usual, bas supplied us with State exchanges during the past week.

Hone mm Erricgy,—In accordance with the Catholic custom in Spanish countries, the Mexicans of San Francisco celebrated the last day of Lent—Saturday, the 23d—by hanging Judas Is cariot in effigy. TENNESSEE.—The opposition State Convention of Tennessee met at Nashville, March 29th, and nominated John Netherlands for Governor. Honey Laxe.—The citizens of Honey Lake Valley have recently held a convention, to consider the question as to whether they ought to claim protection under the laws of Utah Territory, or under those of California. They determined in favor of the former, and have drawn up a memorial, asking Gov. Cumming for the formation of a county, and the appointment of a Probate or County Judge. Ropperies at Jacxson.—On Thureday of this week the room of Wm. Bristow, in this place, was entered in the day time anda valuable watch and some other articles stolen therefrom.

Sairria Woop.—The editor of the Marysville Democrat bas been shown a petrifaction which came from near Humbug, in this county. It was found a very considerable distance under the surface of the earth, and was broken from a piece of petrified substance ten or fifteen feet in length. It was embedded in slush of a yellowish color, and thoroughly coated with the same. The petrification is the most complete that we have ever seen, and the specimen in question a most beautiful production of geological formation, It is evidently a piece of the species of wood celebrated ia Scripture as the Shittim wood, out of which the Ark of the Covenant and other articlesof Jewish workmanship were constructed, the resemblance being so close as to admit of very little doubt. The probability is all the better established from the fact that the Shittim wood is at this time actually growing in the mountains adjacent. This wood, which is a species of the acacia, is hard and smooth and of a grain so fine that the naked eye can scarcely discover a fiber in its texture. No doubt it will be extensively used some day in this country, in the manufacture of elegant furniture and every species of superior cabinet workmanship. An ApMireR.—A miner from Diamond Springs came down on the stage yesterday, expressly, as he stated, to see Senator Broderick. e landed at the “Orleans,” and being advised that Broderick stopped at the ‘Union,’ adjoining, and getting no satisfaction on calling there, he stepped into the middle of the street and commenced hallooing for Broderick. He was then. escorted into the Hotel; Judge McCorkle was called in and introduced as Broderick. Our miner caught him round the neck, and hugged him like.a grizzly, inducing “Mac’’ to deny that he was any one but himself. The miner insisted that he was not mistaken, especially as a number of persons present asserted the fact.—Sac. Union, 22d. A Learnep LeaisLator.—The Sonora Herald gives an account of a trial that recently took place there, wherein a pig was the subject of controversy. The Hon. Mr. Buck, one of the Assemblymeno from Tuolumne county, drew up the complaint in the cause, and described the animal as a “white sough pig.’’ We wonder if he is troubled with such bad spells as that. We suppose the learned Legislator had been reading some poetical work which spoke of “The west wind’s mournful sough,”’ and could not easily lower himself from such exalted subjects to a pig pen. InrorMATION Wantep.—A distressed widow and mother, Minerva Reid, who resides at Pleasant Lake, Indiana, is anxious to hear some tidings of her son, Wesley Reid, who is now supposed to be in California. Any person having a knowledge of his whereabouts will confer a lasting favor upon the sorrowing parent, by addressing a note to her at Pleasant Lake, or to W. M. Cary, Placerville. . The Paris correspondents of the London press regard the situation of affairs as critical, and speak of the continuance of -warlike preparations. The funds on the Paris Bourse continued to decline, aud a panic had occurred in the Vienna money market. The King of Sardinia bas called ont his reserved troops aud made new levies. It is also reported that he has applied to France for the aid of 75,000 men. e Austrian and Sardinian troops are extremely menacing. The former is continuing the armament most energetically, and an outbreak in Central Italy is almost daily anticipated. There are several items from France, which tend to show war inevitable. Itis current that the Lyons Railway had received orders to be ready to transport 75,000 troops with dispatch. The Moniteur contains a decree appointing 16 Generals and 13 Colonels. The Emperor of France bas pardoned several hundred soldiers. It is reported that a secret treaty exists between the King of Sardinia and Napoleon. Mr. Morgredien, the President of the London Chess Club, who went to France to play a match with Morphy, has been terribly beaten. The winner of the first seven games was to be the victor of the match, The result is as folmes, Mr. Molows :—Mr. Morphy won seven Drawn, one gredien won no game at al me. airs Preston, the American Minister to Spain, has had an audience with the Queen, during which the most friendly sentiments were expressed on both sides. Tue Paracuay Expepitioy.—A Washington correspondent under date of March 22d says : Some important information as to the progress of the Paraguay expedition has been received in private letters from persons who are attached to it. One of these writers says: If Lopez resolves on resistance, our naval force must confine itself to a blockade, which may last till next October, when the rise of the river will enable reinforcements to reach it. But to make an attack with the present ferce would be says the writer, more desperate than the charge of the *Light Brigade” at Balaclava. lt is uncertain whether it belongs to the Commissioner or to the Naval Commander to deal with the Government of Buenos Ayres upon the nice question which it makes against our right to enter her waters without leave. England, says that Government, asked for leave. Perhaps we would not have obtained it so readily upon asking, and therefore Commodore Shubrick took it. This is one of the many questions in which we may become involved with the States on the La Platte and its tribntaries, before this expedition comes to an end. Deatu or Bi.ty Bowiecs.—The Fort Smith (Ark.) Zimes, of March 31st, under the caption of “Another great man fallen,’’ has the following: We learn from Mr. George M. Aird, who arrived yesterday, from the Seminole country, that Rilly Bowlegs died suddenly at the house of John Jumper, on Friday, the 11th inst. There was great lamentations aud loud wailings among his people, the Seminoles, The late emigrants had not arrived in the country at the time of Bowlegs’ death. Mr. Aird met Col. Rutherford with them about forty miles this side of the Seminole country. They will, therefore be deprived of the privilege of meeting their old leader aud chief. Thus bas passed away one who bas been a terror to the setlers of Florida, and oneof the greatest ¢hiefs and Indian warriors of the present day. Tuer Sickines Case.—The trial of Daniel E. Sickles, for the killing of Key, was to have taken place about the first of April. The Washington correspondent of the St. Louis Reublican, in speaking of the case, says : The opinion prevails that Judge Crawford, who presides over the Criminal Court, will throw all his inflence against the prisoner, which, together with the influence of Chief Justice Taney, (the uncle of the deceased) and Key’s personal friends in this city, may secure the conviction of Sickles; yet the latter basa warm personal friend in the President of the United States, who holds the pardoning power, and whose sympathies are altogether with the accused. Not only this, but the Cabinet, with the exception of a single member, iudorses the eourse Sickles pursued as the only one left him under the painful circumstances of the case. Therefore it is safe to predict that Sickles will not be punished whatever may be the result of the trial. IncenpIarisM.—An_ incendiary attempt was made on Sunday night, April 17th.
