Mevada Democrat. QvicksiLvER.—The New Almaden mine is again in successful operation since the dissolution of the injunction upon it. Daving the time it was closed the New Idra, Guadalupe and Enriquita mines acquired prominence in the market, and will + henceforth divide the business and cheapen the product. The Sonoma mines, near the Geysere, are now being worked by a new corporation, which is styled the "Geyser Quicksilver Mining Company,’’ which is the result of the consolidation of one hundred and thirty-seven different individual interesis on the lode; each interest being a “claim’’ measuring 150 by 400 feet.in ex. tent, and all embracing nearly four miles in length of what is theught to be the best The mine will be systematically opened the coming summer. Several hundred pounds of the metal from it have been extracted by cheap processes and sent into market as aspecimen. The extension avd profitable condition of the gold . quartz interest, as well as the extension of hydraulic mining, constantly increases the home demand for quicksilver, go that the new mines are likely to do well. Dartnc Roppery anp Suoorma.—On . Tuesday night last, a gang of six robbers, part Mexicans, others Americans, went to an Italian store at Mount Ophir. The pro. prietor of the house was out, and his wife, who was attending to the business, was . seized and held by one, whilst another A Mexican hearing the yells of the woman, ran to the store; three of the robbers were guarding . the door, and as the Mexican attempted to pass them, one stabbed him very severely. . The Mexican stepped back, drew a pistol and shot three times, when he fell, left, Next day they were trailed by blood a long distance, and it is probable that one or more is badly wound. . ed. The Mexican is in a critical condition. Several outrages have recently been committed by this gang. The officers are after them, and it isto be hoped may soon either arrest or kill them all.—[Mariposa Gaz, Homicipe.—-Thke Sonora Democrat says that on Friday afternoon a dreadful murIt ap{rishman named John Kenney, made some angry remarks about parties connected with the establishment, which gave offense to L. T. Baxter, late proprietor of the hotel and the Jatter commanded him to stop his abuse. Upon bis repeating the offensive language. Mr. . advanced upon him and a brief scuffle ensued, during which the steward stabbed Mr. Baxter to the heart. The wounded man leaned for a moment against the counter, and then fell dead to the floor. Kenney was arrested and lodged in jail. Mr. Baxter for,many years was an influencitizen of Jamestown, where he leaves a host of friends to mourn bis untimely death. In 1859, he was a member of the Board of Supervisors of that county. ExpLosion anp Loss or Lire.—We Jearn from the North West that the boilers of Meigs’ steam saw mill, at Port Madison, W. T., exploded on the morniug of the 21st of March, making a complete wreck of the ma. chinery and mill, and instantly killing five persons, and seriously injuring one other. The accident occurred atan bour wheo there were but few persons employed ; hed it happened an hour later, no doubt twenty been killed, Cause of explosion, scarcity of water in the boilers. There were six cyiinder boilers, two of which were completely ruined. ed were: Wm. Roach, engineer, Ireland; Thomas Means, Seatie; Capt. John Morton, late of schooner Restless; Wm, Thompson; Wounded—Fred. Baker, sawyer, Tun Seneca Observer mentions the death of Mre. Burch, at Junius, on the 18th of . february, at the advanced age of 112 years. She was married at the age of 22, aud bad a sou who, if be bad lived antil now, would have been ninety years ofage. A son of hers is now living who is 81 years old. In Paris they are playing at the Vandeville, a piece, in three acts, complacently styled a “comedy” entitled “Les Femmes Fortes.’ The English name would be. “The Strong-minded Women.””’ The piece is intended aga burlesque upon American manners, ~The Beef and Pork Inspector hae made a statement of the income and expenses of his office, and repreA Goon Suowina. sents that he receives $28,000 a year, and . has to pay out $27,000, so that he has but $1,000 a year to live upon, Tne town of Visalia was named in honor of Nat Vise, of Los Angeles, It is a happy . compound, near by) The .

Goo Souxp Sexse.—There are signs of . returning reason in some of the seceding States, Judge Marvin, of Key West, writes thus in the Tallabasse Floridian ; But what ought the South todoin the present state of things? Ido not know. My mind is clear as to what it ought not to do. It ought not to get out from under the _ protection of the present Constitution of the . United States untilit can get under the protection ofa better one—one too, that shall bind the North as thoroughly as this . does, to keep the peace—and it ought not to disobey the laws. The frying pan is as comfortable a place as the fire, and it may . be better to endure the evils we bave than . to fly to others that we know not of. Bat _ can we stay in the Union, where our rights are denied, without dishonor? Perbaps South Carolina cannot, for she threatened . to go out on the election of Lincofh, and if she did not do it her people would think themselves dishonored. But what are our rights? Have we agreed gpon what they are? One is to have our negro property protected, by acts of Congress in the Territories, Ts not this anew demand? How long is it since the whole South voted that Congress had no right to legislate on the subject of slavery in the Territories? But weeay the right is certain, under the Constitution, and the North denies it. Itis then a disputed demand or claim. Now, it appears to me that there is no dishonor in letting it remain in dispute until there is some territory opened or acquired whieh the South may wish to settle with negroes, Forr SuMTeR Firep Urox.—Fort Sumter . has been fired upon, and Major Anderson _ was ready to respond, when a flag of truce . was sent from the Cammings Point battery, with an assurance that it was a mistake. The event is described as follows by a cor_Tespondent of the New York Times writing . from Charleston, Mareh 6th : It seems that this morning, orders were given at Forts Moultrie, Johnson, and Mor_ ris to practice at long ranges, and the ship. ping were notified last night. Those who . Were not posted up, were terrified this morn. ing at the constant booming of heavy guns, . At about 9 o’clock, while the Columbiads . were being fired at Maj. Stevens’ battery, . at Cammings Point, a shell which had been . placed in it, accidentally (?) took effect on that side of the Sumter wall which] bave . before described as heing only four feet thick. Major Stevens, who was personal] /in command, observed at once with hfs glase that an ugly gash bad been made, he heard the distant sound of the dram beat, Saw the port holes thrown open, and every preparation made for a return of the same kind. He immediately raised a white flag _ hastened to his boat, and in person went . over to Major Anderson and made an ample apology. Narrow Escare or Hox, Joun Covopn From Dearu.—In Philadelphia, on the 7th of March, Hon. John Convode, M. C., from the Westmoreland District, of Pa., came very near losing bis life throngh the accidental discharge of one of Sharp’s rifles, Mr. Covode has two large rooms at the Avenue House, and a large number of hig personal friends were present there to congratulate bim upon the success of the Tariff bill in the passage of which he has borne so conspicuous a part. Que of his friends a distinguished member of Congress, from Pennsylvania, happened, by accident, to examine a beautiful weapon of war, of Sharp’s . Invention; and, in making the experiment of trying the trigger, the rifle went off. and . the ball pierced through the door of one room, passing into the adjoining apartment, . and cutting its way through the rail of the . bedstead upon which the honorable member was seated at the moment. The ball passed within a couple of inches of bis per. son, A dozen persons, at least, were in the . same room, aud, by the greatest good laek in the world, nobody was burt. Fost PLAnrs.—The great size of many fossil plants, and the vast accumalation of carbonaceons matter found in the coal formations, render it quite probable that the . Vegetation during the early periods of the earth was far more prolific than at the presenttime, Yetas the trees and shrubber were mostly of the fern species, destitute of flowers, and unenlivened hy ed tla . of vertebral animals, the landscape must bave presented a very uniform and solemn though inposing appearance—better euited toa state of preparation for the higher order of animal life than for their real existence; better adapted to prepare fuel for man than for his happy abode, Once the most sickly city in the world, . Liverpool has now become the most healthy, _in consequence of the adoption of scientific sanitary measures. There has been a reduction of 30 per cent. in the rates of mor‘ tality within the past ten years,

Daving the time it was closed the New Idra, Guadalupe and Enriquita mines acquired prominence in the market, and will + henceforth divide the business and cheapen the product. The Sonoma mines, near the Geysere, are now being worked by a new corporation, which is styled the "Geyser Quicksilver Mining Company,’’ which is the result of the consolidation of one hundred and thirty-seven different individual interesis on the lode; each interest being a “claim’’ measuring 150 by 400 feet.in ex. tent, and all embracing nearly four miles in length of what is theught to be the best The mine will be systematically opened the coming summer. Several hundred pounds of the metal from it have been extracted by cheap processes and sent into market as aspecimen. The extension avd profitable condition of the gold . quartz interest, as well as the extension of hydraulic mining, constantly increases the home demand for quicksilver, go that the new mines are likely to do well. Dartnc Roppery anp Suoorma.—On . Tuesday night last, a gang of six robbers, part Mexicans, others Americans, went to an Italian store at Mount Ophir. The pro. prietor of the house was out, and his wife, who was attending to the business, was . seized and held by one, whilst another A Mexican hearing the yells of the woman, ran to the store; three of the robbers were guarding . the door, and as the Mexican attempted to pass them, one stabbed him very severely. . The Mexican stepped back, drew a pistol and shot three times, when he fell, left, Next day they were trailed by blood a long distance, and it is probable that one or more is badly wound. . ed. The Mexican is in a critical condition. Several outrages have recently been committed by this gang. The officers are after them, and it isto be hoped may soon either arrest or kill them all.—[Mariposa Gaz, Homicipe.—-Thke Sonora Democrat says that on Friday afternoon a dreadful murIt ap{rishman named John Kenney, made some angry remarks about parties connected with the establishment, which gave offense to L. T. Baxter, late proprietor of the hotel and the Jatter commanded him to stop his abuse. Upon bis repeating the offensive language. Mr. . advanced upon him and a brief scuffle ensued, during which the steward stabbed Mr. Baxter to the heart. The wounded man leaned for a moment against the counter, and then fell dead to the floor. Kenney was arrested and lodged in jail. Mr. Baxter for,many years was an influencitizen of Jamestown, where he leaves a host of friends to mourn bis untimely death. In 1859, he was a member of the Board of Supervisors of that county. ExpLosion anp Loss or Lire.—We Jearn from the North West that the boilers of Meigs’ steam saw mill, at Port Madison, W.

Goo Souxp Sexse.—There are signs of . returning reason in some of the seceding States, Judge Marvin, of Key West, writes thus in the Tallabasse Floridian ; But what ought the South todoin the present state of things? Ido not know. My mind is clear as to what it ought not to do. It ought not to get out from under the _ protection of the present Constitution of the . United States untilit can get under the protection ofa better one—one too, that shall bind the North as thoroughly as this . does, to keep the peace—and it ought not to disobey the laws. The frying pan is as comfortable a place as the fire, and it may . be better to endure the evils we bave than . to fly to others that we know not of. Bat _ can we stay in the Union, where our rights are denied, without dishonor? Perbaps South Carolina cannot, for she threatened . to go out on the election of Lincofh, and if she did not do it her people would think themselves dishonored. But what are our rights? Have we agreed gpon what they are? One is to have our negro property protected, by acts of Congress in the Territories, Ts not this anew demand? How long is it since the whole South voted that Congress had no right to legislate on the subject of slavery in the Territories? But weeay the right is certain, under the Constitution, and the North denies it. Itis then a disputed demand or claim. Now, it appears to me that there is no dishonor in letting it remain in dispute until there is some territory opened or acquired whieh the South may wish to settle with negroes, Forr SuMTeR Firep Urox.—Fort Sumter . has been fired upon, and Major Anderson _ was ready to respond, when a flag of truce . was sent from the Cammings Point battery, with an assurance that it was a mistake. The event is described as follows by a cor_Tespondent of the New York Times writing . from Charleston, Mareh 6th : It seems that this morning, orders were given at Forts Moultrie, Johnson, and Mor_ ris to practice at long ranges, and the ship. ping were notified last night. Those who . Were not posted up, were terrified this morn. ing at the constant booming of heavy guns, . At about 9 o’clock, while the Columbiads . were being fired at Maj. Stevens’ battery, . at Cammings Point, a shell which had been . placed in it, accidentally (?) took effect on that side of the Sumter wall which] bave . before described as heing only four feet thick. Major Stevens, who was personal] /in command, observed at once with hfs glase that an ugly gash bad been made, he heard the distant sound of the dram beat, Saw the port holes thrown open, and every preparation made for a return of the same kind. He immediately raised a white flag _ hastened to his boat, and in person went . over to Major Anderson and made an ample apology. Narrow Escare or Hox, Joun Covopn From Dearu.—In Philadelphia, on the 7th of March, Hon. John Convode, M. C., from the Westmoreland District, of Pa., came very near losing bis life throngh the accidental discharge of one of Sharp’s rifles, Mr. Covode has two large rooms at the Avenue House, and a large number of hig personal friends were present there to congratulate bim upon the success of the Tariff bill in the passage of which he has borne so conspicuous a part. Que of his friends a distinguished member of Congress, from Pennsylvania, happened, by accident, to examine a beautiful weapon of war, of Sharp’s . Invention; and, in making the experiment of trying the trigger, the rifle went off. and . the ball pierced through the door of one room, passing into the adjoining apartment, . and cutting its way through the rail of the . bedstead upon which the honorable member was seated at the moment. The ball passed within a couple of inches of bis per. son, A dozen persons, at least, were in the . same room, aud, by the greatest good laek in the world, nobody was burt. Fost PLAnrs.—The great size of many fossil plants, and the vast accumalation of carbonaceons matter found in the coal formations, render it quite probable that the . Vegetation during the early periods of the earth was far more prolific than at the presenttime, Yetas the trees and shrubber were mostly of the fern species, destitute of flowers, and unenlivened hy ed tla . of vertebral animals, the landscape must bave presented a very uniform and solemn though inposing appearance—better euited toa state of preparation for the higher order of animal life than for their real existence; better adapted to prepare fuel for man than for his happy abode, Once the most sickly city in the world, .
