0 Si ps ire Aevada en one Democrat, LOCAL MATTERS, BRECKINRIDGE Meetine.—Judge D. 0. . Shattuck, candidate for Congress on the Dixie ticket, addressed the citizens of Nevada, or such as chose to hear him, in front of Grimes’ saloon, . yesterday evening. The audience was not large, but the speaker was listened to attentiveJy, and at the close there was a faint applause. He admitted, during the forepart of his speech, . that States had no constitutional right to se. cede; but they had a natural right of revolu. tion, and in case they attempted revolution the Federal Government had the constitutional right to make war upon them, to restrain the revolutionists. He did not think it was policy, ) however, for the Government to make war upon the seceded States, though it had the right; and in order to show that it was bad policy, hecom. menced relating the history of the country for . the past century or two. This portion of his . speech we didn’t stop to hear. Fata AccrDENT.—Coroner Henry held an inquest, yestei day, on the body of aman named Joseph McDougal, who was killed at Grass . Valley. It appears that he was engaged in putting a force pump in a well, which was some fifty or sixty feet deep, and was at work in the bottom with a furnace of burning charcoal, The fumes of the coal began to affect him, and he called out to his assistant to draw him up. When neur the surface he is supposed to have fainted, and fell back, killing him instantly. MrDICAL.—It gives us pleasure to announce that Dr. Nichols, from San Francisco, purposes locating in Nevada. He left San Francisco on account of the cold winds and fogs that prevail there, the climate of Nevada being all he could wish; and we sincerely hope that he will find encouragement enough to induce him to remain withus. Dr. N. is a graduate of Harvard University, well posted in the old and new schools of medicine, and isa gentleman and scholar. His card may be seen in another column. SicknEss.—There has been an unusuaj amount of sickness in Nevada county for a month or two past. In this place, the scarlet fever, measles, and whooping cough have been raging among the children; while in Giass Valley the sickness is mostly among the adult population. Quite a number of deaths have occurred at the latter place, within the past two or three weeks, and we are informed that there were four deceased persons in the town yesterday morning. County Business.—The Board of Supervisors have been engaged all the week, in equalizing the Assessment Roll, and attending to other county business. Yesterday and to-day the election precincts were fixed, and the Inspectors and Judges appointed. The list of precincts will be found in another column. The Board will meet again on Monday, to attend to . some matters connected with the assessment, . and will complete the work that day. ATLANTIC MONTHLY.—We are indebted to . Mr. Welch, of the Pioneer Book Store, for the August number ofthe Atlantic Monthly. Among the interesting articles im this nurmber, are Reminiscences of Stephen A, Douglas, anda sketch of Major Theodore Winthrop, who fell in the fight at Big Bethel. 8Lu1cE Ronpery.—Some twenty sluice boxes, in the claims of Stewart and others, (known as the Irish Co., on Manzinita Hill, were cleaned up by robbers last Wednesday night. The sluices are supposed to have contained about 1,000. Gas.—The gas will be let into the pipes for the first time this evening. We are informed that thirty or forty houses will be lighted with gas this evening, and the fixtures are being rapidly put in for lighting others. SrzaKkino.—F. Pixley and W. H. Weeks azeannounced to speak in Nevada this evening. am ND a Re ari cs ee tA Recent explorations bave quite exploded the old pretence that the largest cities the world would be found in the Orient. Toere is vothing, after all either io China or Japan, or anywhere else, that can vie with Loudon, in point of size, population, manufactures aud commerce. Paria, in deed, comes nighest Louden in these and other respects; bat she is, nevertheless, some distance behind the elder city. By the ceusus, just made, the population of . Londun is stated at 2 800000, showing an increase within about six years Of nearly 500,000 persons. Gen. Soprr wae applied to by the Preeident of the United States to recommend tome one of the army officers qualified to . fill the place made vacaut by che death of . General Jessap. General Scott gave him) four names—Colonels R. H. Lee. A. 8S. Johuson, J. Johnson and Smith. The first . three are in the Southern army ; the latter, . Col. Smith, is in the Northern army. J. Johnson, who lately commanded the troops . . i ; at Harper’s Ferry, got the appoiu! ment, Founp Dean.—The Placerville Republican . ‘ays that J. Felsenthal, a well known resident . that city, proprietor of a saloon, was found upon his counter last Saturday. He had . a difficulty with his wife the night before, drank . 4 pint of raw gin while excited, and was found . dead, as above described, the next morning. . et LE Usion Democratic Mextixe ix Sonoma,— A correspondent of the Herald writing from Petaluma, Ancust 11, Says; So great has been the cha: in sentiment and enaey during theslast tees four months amongst the masses of the people, that it is really ditticult to judge of the true political position of pews Barly cp In this community however, the Union feeling is strong. Last evening, the Hon. Jos. C. McKibben addressed a large and attentive audience at Musical Hall. It was the first meeting called by the Union Democracy, and it was pleasant to see the strong manifestations of loyalty to the Union. People are beginning to see that radical opinions are not condusive to the welfare of the nion, and that men of extreme views are exceedingly dangerous as partisan leaders. I am satisfied that the Union Democratic party, now free from all radicalism and standing firm upon the Constitution and the Union, will be victorious in the coming contest. McKibbin spoke well, better than I ever heard him before. e left a good impression upon all who listened to him, and if any were wavering in their fidelity, I am sure they left convinced that it was their duty to sustain their country in this her hour of peril. J. B, Southard then addressed the audience in his usual eloquent and felicitous style. With a few more such efforts, Sonoma county wilt assuredly be redeemed from Secessionism on the one hand and Republicanism on the other. We, however, need all the assistance we can get, and we trust our friends will not be like Gen, Patterson, too far away when needed. Keportep Deatu or A. H. Srevexs.— The Louisville Journal, of June 26th contains the following : Hon, Alexander H. Stevens, Vice President of the Southern Confederacy is dead. He was an abler man and a greater statesman than he has left behind him in the Confederate States. He resisted secession until he saw he could not resist it successfully. Well had it been for his fame if he had not yielded even then. From Texas.—Sixty wagons, loaded with immigrants and their goods, arrived at Los Angeles from Texas, on the 29th ult. Special Notices. FOR COLLECTOR OF NEVADA COUNT Y.—Tbe subscriber offers hia name to the voters and Conventions of Nevada County, as a Union Canpipats for the office of COLLECTOR, under the new law, at the election to take place on the 4th of September next. J. W. LOCKWOOD. Grass Valley, June Ist., 1861.—tc* SAND’S SARSAPARILLA.—The popalarity acquived by this truly invaluable medicine is as extended as it is richly merited. If the tens of thousands of scrofulous ulcers which have been cicatrized and permanently healed by this extraordinary antiseptic had each a tongue, a chorus of testimony would attest its efficacy, not only ia serofula and ali external manifestations of disease, but ia dyspepsia, bilious complaints, general debility and the various internal disorders in which it affords speedy and lasting relief.
