Negotiations are in progress, with a fair pr t ef success, says the he Republican, which will have the effect of opening. the . proposed canal to connect the immense Tulare Lake and the San Joaquin. It will be remembered that a company was formed for this purpose two or three years ago, and that certain privileges were ted the company in case they accomplished theit object, involving a large grant of swamp lands. The act making this grant, was nogosled by the Legislature . of 1858, but she company claim that they have vested ; rights, and that the act of repeal was unconstitutional. Tulare Lake connects with Lake Tontache, Kern river, Buena Vista and Kern lakes. At some seasons the navigation could be extended to_ the latter lake, which is at no great distance from Fort Tejon, thus bringing interior navigation to within little over 120 miles of Los Angeles. This enterprise, if completed, will be a grand one. The county of Tulare was first settled in 1850, at a place cight miles north-east of the present town of Visalia. Tt was called Woodville, in honor of the = man among the settlers. In 1851 the place was attacked and taken by Indians; some of the inhabitants were killed and some escaped. Woods was captured, tied to a stake, and skinned alive. The occurrence, however, did not prevent the whites from lneating, and Visalia was soon after founded. In the wet winter of 1852-53, the whole country was afloat, and the inhabitants pretty much drowned out. The increase of inhabitants thereafter was not rapid, till the Kern river excitement. In 1856 the town . took a start, and has grown steadily ever since, and . never was more prosperous than now, It is a neat . plone, surrounded by a most beautiful country, filled Nl of farmers and stock raisers, who are rapidly accumulating wealth. The Marysville Express publishes the following extract from a private letter dated Quincy, Plumas county, August 13th: “Quite an excitement exists in consequence of some large prospects, averaging a dollar to the pan, being obtained in a ravine im. mediately back of Quincy, three or four days since. A large number of claims have been taken up. This discovery goes to confirm, more strongly than ever, the belief that the famous Blue Lead runs through this region. A number of companies on Mill creek are making large wages, and two or three companies have been tunneling on top of the hill, at the head of the stream, for a sear anda half past, in confident expectation of ‘striking the “lead.” IT have seen some specimens taken from the ravine above named. Tho gold is coarse and blackish in color, but fine in quality.” On the afternoon of August 15th, at San Francisco, a number of Frenchmen who were dissatisfied with the conduct of Louis Napoleon, in concluding a peace, assembled in front of the church of Notre . Dame des Victories, where the ‘Te Deum was being . performed in honor of Napoleon’s patron saint, and . expressed their dissatisfaction by loud noises, beat. ing tin pans, &c, and when the French Consul made . his appearance at the door, one of the men named . Gautier Petreyack, was about throwing an old boot at the Consul, when he was arrested and taken to the station house. A number of police officers being . on the ground prevented further demonstrations of disrespect. . At the Mission Station, on the Gila river, thirty miles above Fort Yuma, a very singular accident recently happened to the Overland Mail. The coach . with six horses was started from the station, when . the leaders, making a quick turn to the right, plung. ed into a well some twenty-five feet deep, carrying . with them the horses in the “swing.” The wheel . horses were only saved by the lead bars catching across the well opening. The four horses were so . maimed by the fall, that a lantern was lowered into the well and they were shot to put them out of their misery. The mail was detained several hours by . this accident. . . isp: Shasta. A ” t h, says: on the Pitt river Pout to Yreka, and his cook, were killed by Indians on Friday night last, and the house . robbed of provisions, arms and ammunition. They . were ed on Saturday morning by some teamsters. The station is thirty miles from Fort Crook. On the head of Cow Creek the Indians are killing cattle, and have a horse which they told a Valley Indiar . they had taken from a white man, whom they had . killed.” . The agent of the Honey Lake Silver Mining Co., represents that quartz taken from the upper vein, assayed at Marysville by Harris & Marchand, paid at the rate of $450 per ton; some from the same vein, assayed at Sacramento, by Blake & Co., paid . $201 per ton. fair looking gold. ‘The silver ore assayed at San Francisco, by J. Mosheimer, (crushed, oxidized and amalgamated,) paid only $51 20 per . ton; and some quartz from the lower vein paid $30 per ton, gold. Horace Greeley addressed a meeting of about two thousand persons, at San Francisco, last Wednesday evening, on the subject of a Tacific Railroad. . His principal arguments for the road were divided . into three parts—national defense, national econo. my and national necessity. His elimination of facts to prove its necessity for defense was argumenta. tive, and he showed that millions of dollars would be saved annually by the government in transportation. A correspondent of the Placerville Observer, writling from Walker's river, states that a difficulty occurred recently between two men named Spencer i and Mann, which resulted in the latter getting an eye cut out and his right arm nearly severed from his body. The doctors were of opinion that Mann could not recover. The difficulty originated about a game of cards. Spencer had not been arrested. . The citizens of the northern persian of El Dorado jand the southern portion of Placer counties, are making arrangements for construeting a wagon road . across the Middle Fork of the American river, at or near Ford’s Bar; and from Georgetown, by way of . Bottle Hill, to Todd’s Valley, thereby making the . connection complete from Stockton to Downieville. . . A soldier of the U.S army named Felix, went from San Francisco to Oakland, on the 16th inst., in company with two other men, on a hunting excursion. After bagging a ney of game, Felix was leaning carelessly on the muzzle of his gun, when his foot touched the trigger and discharged the picce. . blowing off the four fingers of his left hand. He was . ! taken to San Francisco and properly cared for. . The Mariposa Star says that spotted antelopes . are occasionally killed in the vicinity of Walker's . river. They have a white spot of considerable size, immediately back of the fore leg, also on the flanks, and also near the point of the shoulder, They are larger than the antelope on the plains of this State. . At Georgetown, on the morning of the 16th inst., the reservoir of the Pilot Creek Canal, which was situated immediately above town, broke loose, the water sweeping everything away in its impetuous . eourse. Much valuable property was injured, but . no person was hurt. John Kenzel, of the firm of Tracy & Kenzel of .

Ds an ssec ne eR CO eae 8 NEVADA, CALIFORNIA, WEDNESDAY MORNING, AUGUST 24, 1859, Extract from the Speech of Senator Broderick, at Columbia, Aug. 13th, 1859. {From the Phonographic Report of the Union.) Mr. Broderick being introduced to the audi. ence was received with nine cheers and a “tiger.’? Mr. Broperick said—Mr. Chairman and fellow-citizens ; Accept my thanks for this kind manifestation of your respect and regard. I do not appear before you this evening to tell you any stories, or to relate any anecdotes to you, nor to excite your passions, or pander to your prejudices. Iam here before you to state facts. For the last ten days my attention has been diverted from the issues involved in this campaign, in replying to attacks made upon me by Dr. Gwin, Milton S. Latham and Governor Weller, as well as by the smaller leaders in the Lecompton party, such as General Denver, Mr. Scott, and one or two others of the like ilk. I thought, tellow-citizens, after I had adaressed the people of Sacramento on Tuesday evening last that would be permitted to go on and speak of the great issues Involved in the canvass, without being compelled to, take any further notice of their remarks. On Thursday evening Milton 8, Latham made a epeech at the Capital of the State, which was snuouneed and which purported te be a reply to my epeech at the same place two evenings before. The speech has been put in my band, and I will briefly call your attention to three or four passagesin it before I preceed to give you the reacona tor my opposition to the corruptions, fraud and extravagance of Mr. Buchanan’s Administration, [Applause.] Mr. Latham says: _ He says still further, in Nevada city, that I promised upon that occasion my support, if elected to the Senate of the United States, to two gentlemen for the position of Collector of the port of San Francisco. He had not the manliness to tell who these men were, and I defy him to mention any other names that were rgemates for that office except Judge Tilford’s and Mr, Lent’s of San Francisco; and Mr. Lent himself has stated to me in writin that I never promised to support him for that position or any other, [Cheers.]. Mr, Conness, also, who says I have done him injustice in anticipating what his answer would be, ~ denouncing it as a falsehood if he stated I had promised my support to him—he comes forward upon this same stand and says I never promised the position to him. Now, who did I promise? Where, I ask, is the man? Let any man here, or let Broderick himself, say where is the man to whom I gave this additional promise, which met with such severe indignation on his part at the attempt, as he alleges, on my part, to tear him loose here from those DEAR, DEAR friends, of whom he speaks. Fellow citizens: I have a letter from the Hoo. G. W. Colby, of Sacramentu City, late State Senator from that county, It is a brief letter and I will read it to you: Hon. D.C. Broprrick—Sir: 1 recollect that in January, 1857 (previous to the nomination of the Hon. Wm. M. Gwin, in caucus, for the U. 8, Senate) of calling upon M. 8. Latham ¢twice in company with Col, J. I Lall, and at the instance of Ex-Governor Bigler. We assured Mr, Latham of our desire to see him elected to the United States Senate, and that ExGovernor Bigler’s friends could render him material service were they satisfied of his aid (if elected) in favor of him (Mr. Bigler) as Collector of the port of San Francisco. Mr. Latham informed us that he had assured Governor Bigler of that fact. This was the substance of our conversation, G. W, COLBY. Sacramento, Auguat 9, 1859. Here, I think, is a fair answer to the pompously-sounded questions of the Leeompton candidate for Governor, “Where isthe man to whom I gave an additional promise of the office of Collector?’ Here Mr. Latham can fiod areply. This fellow-citizens, is one uf the ‘‘additional” parties to whom Latham sold bie frail promise. For reasons which I shall not assign this evening, I will not give the name of the party to whom J referred in my speech at Nevada, I may be compelled not to give bis name during this canvass. But I have pro. duced sufficient testimony to convict this man of tbe eharge preferred against him. [Applauee,] In hie speech, delivered on Thursday evening last, Latbam took no notice of the statements of the Hon, Mr. MeCorkle, ex-Governor McDougal, and Judge Hall, of El Dorado. Le passed their statements by and confiued his remarks, such as they were, to other portions of my specch, Judging from the emphasis indicated in bis published speech, Latham undertook to @neer at my friends, or the declared warmth of my attachment, I can well understand how be entertaius genuine feelings of contempt for any one who adberes to and loves his associates in public life. I must conjess that whenever I am to be alienated froim cherished friends I hope that the author of the estrangement will possess the intelligence and courage of a man and the principles of honesty aod truthfulness which will enable him to be culled a good citizen aud a candid foe, Now there is anotber passage in his speech to whieh . 1 wish to call your attention, Before I read . this statement of Mr. Mabony’s, I will direct . your attention to the fact that after the Senatorial election of 1857, after the election of Dr. Gwin, Latbam took it upon bimself, according to his own showing, to sce all the gentlemen whose names b&ve been mentioned iu connec: . tion with this matter, You will observe that . fur a man with very clean bands, which be is accustomed to place over an exceedingly pure heart, calling God to witness the righteousness of both, Latham is ao unfortunate being.— Constantly there rise accusations against him ou every side; and these no sane man can call baseless rumors, for he, the accused himself, makes long speeebes in purposed refutation. . He reads loug documents; be ia compelled fre. quently to the proof. “What a spectacle Brodcrick presente!’ he exclaimed. 1 return the . exclamation. A candidate for Governor of this . State, speaking in bis own home, can scarce) find place for aught else save a defense of his character from charges of the saddest import! I may, and probably shall, bave oecesion, before this canvaes is over, to show up Mr. Latham, os a figure in a spectacular piece, more painfully ridiculous to the sight thao any seriocomedy ever enacted inpablic. Bat, if Latham was in ianocent iguorance, or free from suspicion, at the time these charges were preferred by Tilford, why did he take the trouble to fortify himself with statements of halfa dozen gentlemen connected with the affair? I will state to you to-night the reason why Mr. Til-. ford gave to him the statement which be read to the people of Nevada some week or ten days since. After the Senatorial election was over, Mr. Tilford supposed that Mr. Latham intended to retain hia position as Collector of the port of Sau Francisco. Mr. Tilford, with this rod over Latham, made this proposition : If he (Latham) would resign the position of Collector in Tilford’s favor, Tilford would give Latham a let-. ter exculpating bim from this charge. Mr. Tilford obtained the resignation and the ,recommendation from Mr. Latham. I suppose the recommendation is now ou file in the Treasury Department, Mr. Latham. in his late speech, published a letter given to bim, January, 1857, by Mr. Mahony. In this letter, Maloay rays that he sent Latham to visit me, at my room, at my request. Mr. Latham, in his speech at Nevada, stated that Captain Nye was the man deputed by me to send him to me. While at Sacramento I obtained a letter from Captain Nye, . o’cloek, when be went to bed. Pe pc ee The Candidates for State Printer. For the two years the State of California bas a Public Printer than whom there i# Bone more prompt, more capable, moreefficient or more economieal. He had no. friends around the lobbies urging on the members the necessity of baving thousands of this report printed and tens of thousands of that. ihe members were left entirely to their own judgment io this matter, without being bored by partisans for the benefit of the Printer, and to the injury of the State. When the work was ordered he did it in a mechanical manner, and in the shortest possible time. He wae brought up to the profession, and understands it in all its branches, He is a quiet, unassuming, thorough going businees man, and a practical printer, His party properly saw fit to re-nominate him for the position, and Joha O'Meara is again a candidate for that office which he has 80 satisfactorily filled. Against him is the Hon. 0. T+ Botts, a lawyer by profession, whe knows no more about print ing than a Kamschatkain does about managin @ steam engine. It was generally poe om . that there is a fitoess in all things—that when & duty is to be performed, a man who kaows something about it ought to be chosen to do it, No man in the State who might have a big job of printing to do, would choose a man.to do it who was entirely ignorant of the profession, It is a good rule to a every man in his place; and the place for Mr. Botts is at the bar, or it may be on the bench, but not in a printing office. A bull in a China shop is universally considered ont of bis proper sphere. What would be thought of the party who would nominate a blacksmith who bad never reads law’ book, for Supreme Court Justice ; or a carpenter, who had never seen a copy of Blackstone, for Attorney General? Yet, to do this would be no more inappropriate than to choose as State Printer a man who never set a type in bis life. It is a slur upon the entire mechanical inteligeuce of the State, this nomination of Mr. Botts and ought not to be countenaneed by the mechanics of California, And besides all this, his election would entail great additional expenses on the people, which they would have to meet in their annual taxes, A partisan Legislature would vote bim much unnecessary printing, ia order to give him large profits to spend upon partisan journals, Lle proposes to devote the profits of the office to the publication of a party paper, and if he shall receive no more printing than the present Printer did, there will be nothing worth naming to be spared for euch an end. Hence, of necessity, he will have to call on hie party friends for more and more all the time, They gave bim, last winter, a reporter, and salaried him on the people’s treasury, and if eleeted, they will, if they have the power, be obliged to give him not only reporters but cash betide. The only eafe course then for the people to pursue is to vote for O'Meara.—Sae. Bee, rns Ricar Anour Facw,—The latest news from the Alluntic side announces the not very astonishing fact that the Administration has again stultified itself, in changing tune on the naturalization question, Considering the treacherous aud unreliable character of the present Administration, this news of change of front is by ne means extraordinary, Its career has been marked by blunders of the gravest character from the beginning—one day it was in favor of filibustering, and the next opposed to it; ac one time friendly to Popular Sovereignty, and at another its bitterest enemy ; yesterday it abandoned the naturalized citizen to the tender mercies of European despots, to-day it recog nizes his equality with the native-bora citizen, We repeat that nothing in the eareer of this Administration isto be wondered at, It is weak, vascillating and unreliable ; and its last remarkable somersault is more the result of fright then of honesty of purpose, The extraordinary and unexpected character of the Le Clere and Hofer letters of Gen, Cass have caus ed intense feeling throughout the length and breadth of the Union, and a profound disgust at the weakness and cowardice of the men who rule at Washington, among the adoped citizens of the couvtry. The echo of this dissatisfaction has reached the capital, and lo and behold Geo, Cass’s doctrine is taken all back-—the Administration swallows its own words, and chimes in with the sentiment of the country, With bowever bad grace the thing bas been done, and notwithstanding its unstateamanlike blundering, we are glad that the Administration has mustered sufficient courage to take the back track and proclaim the correct doctrine on this question, But it will be amusing now to observe the poor creatures whu follow this Administration in all ite tergiversations—who . would laud it even though it defied the deyi. — take back all they have said in defevee of Mr. Case’s position, and pitch aside as useless rubbish all the wise precedents which they had huuted up, in order to prove the Admiuistration right in the first instance. The mano who plucck any reliance on such “organs,’’ must have little common sense.--Sonora Herald. J.C. McKipsin.—The Harrisburg (Pa.) State Sentinel, an able and independent Demecratic jourual, in speaking of the nominations in Oaliforuia, says: It will be seen that Hon, J. ©. McKibbin, who stood up with uudaunted gallantry avd dermination in defence of the doctrine ef Popular Sovereignty daring the struggle on the Lecompton Constitution, has been renominated for Congress, aud we trust that every voter in California, who approves hie upright course during that controversy, will yote for him at the comiog election.

The question of agricultural and grazing ca» pacity of the mountain 3 of this State is one of mueh importance, upon the abandant existence of such capacity will depend the continued settlement and ocnekony ot" of avery large area. The ada: y of the foot hills to tillage and pasturage bas long been known, and we are beginning to have a more oe acquaintance with the elevated couatry lying above them. The worth of the mountain valleys and bill-sides for horticultural, pomologieal and grazing purposes is already practically appreciated by many. Now that we see a number of the mountain towns su plied with fruitand vegetables produced their own vicinity and in their very midst—now that we see extensive vineyards being planted, and apple orchards set out—and visitors to Eastern homes Seeking eagerly back to the incomparable climate of eur lofty s—we grow hopeful and bolieve that ultimately the mineral regions of California will be as blest as any others, instead of being pointed to as mor. ally the worst part of the State—in which light some even yet view them, For the fixeda of becsenlly no mountain country on earth is so admirab q fitted. If the Swiss can live and prosper, and make noble history amidst the rugged and wintry Alps, why cannot the AngloSaxon do as much, with more true pleasure to himself while he is about it, ia the valleys and on the slopes of the Sierra Nevada? £2 In Switzerland the grounds caltivated ia terraces with a southern exposure, which are all walled up on the lower side with. stone and lime. These terraces are commonly from ten to fifty feet wide, and ineline at a considerable bins They ascend up the side of a mountain writes a recent traveler, from five hundred to eight hundred feet, and are reached by stone steps, up which the manure and everything else is carried in baskets, These terraced lands, when good, ‘can seldom be bad forless than $4,000 to $7,000 per acre! They are principally employed for the grape culture. The vines are kept low and trained to stakes about four feet high. Six or eight hundred gallons of wine is the usual product per acre! Thie wine ia the dommon beverage of the country, and sells when new for from twenty to thirty cents a gallon, Lands not terraced are used for pasturage, and though only used about three months in the year and seemingly lyin atan angle of forty-five degrees, comma from $100 to $300 per acre, These ure lands lie clese to the line of perpetual snow and are accessible to herds and herdsmen only by steep and circuitous paths, How would the Swiss exult ia the supertor advantages afforded by the mountains of Callfornia! Here the arable land is abundant, cheap and prolific, needs no costly terracing and walling, and below the line of winter enowa eau be cultivated for various purposes all through the year. The vine yielda double, or more than double, what it docain any other country, and wine is made of a quality so excellent that it is already in demand for expore tation, The parturage for sheep is extensive and lasting, and for cattle during the summer season very rich and cary of access. Above all we havea climate which rivals that of the plaing of Italy. These facts warrant the belief thatifevery gold field was exhausted, there would still be In the Sierra Nevada attractions sufficient to draw thousands jn search of homes, and advantages great enough to hold them here contented, —— Horaons oF SaLventno.— A correspondent, writing from the battle field of Salferino, rays : The plain of Guidizzio is really horrible to look upon. Even so late as yesterday the dead were not all buried. They were to be seen in groups of twenty and thirty, huddled together in one spot, where a shell bad exploded or the Chasseurs d’Afrique had passed. All still maintained the attitude in which death bad struck them down, Iiere was one with uplifted arm to ward off the blow which had split open bis skull, and splashed his brains far and near, Close by was another, with his hand upon bis breast, shivered and rent by the grape. Another seemed to be smiling, as ifin mookery of the grim warrior’s approach. Some were lying upon their backs, with faces turned towards heaven, an prayers still seeming to linger upon their ps. Further on, there waa 4 Hungarian, who had . tbrnst his clothes into a ghastly wound near the heart. At the left was a Tyrolese, with the unused cartridge between his teeth. To the right, a Croat had his head cut off by a ball, aud his bead was by his side, with its horrible eyes, glaring and leering, as it seemed, at the dismembered body. Two young lads of certainly not more than . sixteen years, were lying in each other’s arms, Death bad surprised them in that attitude ; or perbaps feeling themselves about to die, they had clung together ina last embrace, and bad fallen thus never to rise again, Upon the body of 6 Bohemian officer we noticed a dog, waitin apparently for his master to get up. We b not the heart to eall off the faithful animal by a word or a gesture, for we felt sure that God would reward the devotion of this poor dumb creature, 80 touchingly shown amidst the carnage which man had waged against his fellow man, On every side It was thesame. Death, ia his most horrible and ghastly form, glared at us, no matter where we gazed, Aggrar Currents axp BaLiLoontxng.— Wise has written a letter to the New York Tribune, in cans to unite upon » common ticket against the . relation to bis late balloon voyage, in which he Adwinistration nominees bas not been gratified by the Couventious of the two parties, (whigh have nominated entirely distinet tickets,) We . east to says: “There isa current of gir blowing from the the west continually, and this current earnestly hope that Mr. McKibbin will be sue . pang never less than fifty miles an hour—oftentained with cordial unanimity by all Californians who wish to reward the devotion of an honest, fearless, and able Representative. A May “Mutrep’’ to Duata,—James Doyle, a blacksmith by trade, recently died in Chicago, under the following circumstances, as detailed by the Times of that city ; He was a0 extremely athletic person in appearance, and was considered by his fellow workmen as possessing a remarkable degree of strength and bodily vigor. On Thursday he worked in the shop a¢ usual until 6 o’elock, when he went to supper ip as good health as usual, After supper he complained of extreme heat, and continued to complain until twelve At three o'clock in the morning his room-mate awoke and found him breathing his last.

Negotiations are in progress, with a fair pr t ef success, says the he Republican, which will have the effect of opening. the . proposed canal to connect the immense Tulare Lake and the San Joaquin. It will be remembered that a company was formed for this purpose two or three years ago, and that certain privileges were ted the company in case they accomplished theit object, involving a large grant of swamp lands. The act making this grant, was nogosled by the Legislature . of 1858, but she company claim that they have vested ; rights, and that the act of repeal was unconstitutional. Tulare Lake connects with Lake Tontache, Kern river, Buena Vista and Kern lakes. At some seasons the navigation could be extended to_ the latter lake, which is at no great distance from Fort Tejon, thus bringing interior navigation to within little over 120 miles of Los Angeles. This enterprise, if completed, will be a grand one. The county of Tulare was first settled in 1850, at a place cight miles north-east of the present town of Visalia. Tt was called Woodville, in honor of the = man among the settlers. In 1851 the place was attacked and taken by Indians; some of the inhabitants were killed and some escaped. Woods was captured, tied to a stake, and skinned alive. The occurrence, however, did not prevent the whites from lneating, and Visalia was soon after founded. In the wet winter of 1852-53, the whole country was afloat, and the inhabitants pretty much drowned out. The increase of inhabitants thereafter was not rapid, till the Kern river excitement. In 1856 the town . took a start, and has grown steadily ever since, and . never was more prosperous than now, It is a neat . plone, surrounded by a most beautiful country, filled Nl of farmers and stock raisers, who are rapidly accumulating wealth. The Marysville Express publishes the following extract from a private letter dated Quincy, Plumas county, August 13th: “Quite an excitement exists in consequence of some large prospects, averaging a dollar to the pan, being obtained in a ravine im. mediately back of Quincy, three or four days since. A large number of claims have been taken up. This discovery goes to confirm, more strongly than ever, the belief that the famous Blue Lead runs through this region. A number of companies on Mill creek are making large wages, and two or three companies have been tunneling on top of the hill, at the head of the stream, for a sear anda half past, in confident expectation of ‘striking the “lead.” IT have seen some specimens taken from the ravine above named. Tho gold is coarse and blackish in color, but fine in quality.” On the afternoon of August 15th, at San Francisco, a number of Frenchmen who were dissatisfied with the conduct of Louis Napoleon, in concluding a peace, assembled in front of the church of Notre . Dame des Victories, where the ‘Te Deum was being . performed in honor of Napoleon’s patron saint, and . expressed their dissatisfaction by loud noises, beat. ing tin pans, &c, and when the French Consul made . his appearance at the door, one of the men named . Gautier Petreyack, was about throwing an old boot at the Consul, when he was arrested and taken to the station house. A number of police officers being . on the ground prevented further demonstrations of disrespect. . At the Mission Station, on the Gila river, thirty miles above Fort Yuma, a very singular accident recently happened to the Overland Mail. The coach . with six horses was started from the station, when . the leaders, making a quick turn to the right, plung. ed into a well some twenty-five feet deep, carrying . with them the horses in the “swing.” The wheel . horses were only saved by the lead bars catching across the well opening. The four horses were so . maimed by the fall, that a lantern was lowered into the well and they were shot to put them out of their misery.

The agent of the Honey Lake Silver Mining Co., represents that quartz taken from the upper vein, assayed at Marysville by Harris & Marchand, paid at the rate of $450 per ton; some from the same vein, assayed at Sacramento, by Blake & Co., paid . $201 per ton. fair looking gold. ‘The silver ore assayed at San Francisco, by J. Mosheimer, (crushed, oxidized and amalgamated,) paid only $51 20 per . ton; and some quartz from the lower vein paid $30 per ton, gold. Horace Greeley addressed a meeting of about two thousand persons, at San Francisco, last Wednesday evening, on the subject of a Tacific Railroad. . His principal arguments for the road were divided . into three parts—national defense, national econo. my and national necessity. His elimination of facts to prove its necessity for defense was argumenta. tive, and he showed that millions of dollars would be saved annually by the government in transportation. A correspondent of the Placerville Observer, writling from Walker's river, states that a difficulty occurred recently between two men named Spencer i and Mann, which resulted in the latter getting an eye cut out and his right arm nearly severed from his body. The doctors were of opinion that Mann could not recover. The difficulty originated about a game of cards. Spencer had not been arrested. .

Mr. Broderick being introduced to the audi. ence was received with nine cheers and a “tiger.’? Mr. Broperick said—Mr. Chairman and fellow-citizens ; Accept my thanks for this kind manifestation of your respect and regard. I do not appear before you this evening to tell you any stories, or to relate any anecdotes to you, nor to excite your passions, or pander to your prejudices. Iam here before you to state facts. For the last ten days my attention has been diverted from the issues involved in this campaign, in replying to attacks made upon me by Dr. Gwin, Milton S. Latham and Governor Weller, as well as by the smaller leaders in the Lecompton party, such as General Denver, Mr. Scott, and one or two others of the like ilk. I thought, tellow-citizens, after I had adaressed the people of Sacramento on Tuesday evening last that would be permitted to go on and speak of the great issues Involved in the canvass, without being compelled to, take any further notice of their remarks. On Thursday evening Milton 8, Latham made a epeech at the Capital of the State, which was snuouneed and which purported te be a reply to my epeech at the same place two evenings before. The speech has been put in my band, and I will briefly call your attention to three or four passagesin it before I preceed to give you the reacona tor my opposition to the corruptions, fraud and extravagance of Mr. Buchanan’s Administration, [Applause.] Mr. Latham says: _ He says still further, in Nevada city, that I promised upon that occasion my support, if elected to the Senate of the United States, to two gentlemen for the position of Collector of the port of San Francisco. He had not the manliness to tell who these men were, and I defy him to mention any other names that were rgemates for that office except Judge Tilford’s and Mr, Lent’s of San Francisco; and Mr. Lent himself has stated to me in writin that I never promised to support him for that position or any other, [Cheers.]. Mr, Conness, also, who says I have done him injustice in anticipating what his answer would be, ~ denouncing it as a falsehood if he stated I had promised my support to him—he comes forward upon this same stand and says I never promised the position to him. Now, who did I promise? Where, I ask, is the man? Let any man here, or let Broderick himself, say where is the man to whom I gave this additional promise, which met with such severe indignation on his part at the attempt, as he alleges, on my part, to tear him loose here from those DEAR, DEAR friends, of whom he speaks. Fellow citizens: I have a letter from the Hoo. G. W. Colby, of Sacramentu City, late State Senator from that county, It is a brief letter and I will read it to you: Hon. D.C. Broprrick—Sir: 1 recollect that in January, 1857 (previous to the nomination of the Hon. Wm. M. Gwin, in caucus, for the U. 8, Senate) of calling upon M. 8. Latham ¢twice in company with Col, J. I Lall, and at the instance of Ex-Governor Bigler. We assured Mr, Latham of our desire to see him elected to the United States Senate, and that ExGovernor Bigler’s friends could render him material service were they satisfied of his aid (if elected) in favor of him (Mr. Bigler) as Collector of the port of San Francisco. Mr. Latham informed us that he had assured Governor Bigler of that fact. This was the substance of our conversation, G. W, COLBY. Sacramento, Auguat 9, 1859. Here, I think, is a fair answer to the pompously-sounded questions of the Leeompton candidate for Governor, “Where isthe man to whom I gave an additional promise of the office of Collector?’ Here Mr. Latham can fiod areply. This fellow-citizens, is one uf the ‘‘additional” parties to whom Latham sold bie frail promise. For reasons which I shall not assign this evening, I will not give the name of the party to whom J referred in my speech at Nevada, I may be compelled not to give bis name during this canvass. But I have pro. duced sufficient testimony to convict this man of tbe eharge preferred against him. [Applauee,] In hie speech, delivered on Thursday evening last, Latbam took no notice of the statements of the Hon, Mr. MeCorkle, ex-Governor McDougal, and Judge Hall, of El Dorado. Le passed their statements by and confiued his remarks, such as they were, to other portions of my specch, Judging from the emphasis indicated in bis published speech, Latham undertook to @neer at my friends, or the declared warmth of my attachment, I can well understand how be entertaius genuine feelings of contempt for any one who adberes to and loves his associates in public life. I must conjess that whenever I am to be alienated froim cherished friends I hope that the author of the estrangement will possess the intelligence and courage of a man and the principles of honesty aod truthfulness which will enable him to be culled a good citizen aud a candid foe, Now there is anotber passage in his speech to whieh . 1 wish to call your attention, Before I read . this statement of Mr. Mabony’s, I will direct . your attention to the fact that after the Senatorial election of 1857, after the election of Dr. Gwin, Latbam took it upon bimself, according to his own showing, to sce all the gentlemen whose names b&ve been mentioned iu connec: . tion with this matter, You will observe that . fur a man with very clean bands, which be is accustomed to place over an exceedingly pure heart, calling God to witness the righteousness of both, Latham is ao unfortunate being.— Constantly there rise accusations against him ou every side; and these no sane man can call baseless rumors, for he, the accused himself, makes long speeebes in purposed refutation. . He reads loug documents; be ia compelled fre. quently to the proof. “What a spectacle Brodcrick presente!’ he exclaimed. 1 return the . exclamation. A candidate for Governor of this . State, speaking in bis own home, can scarce) find place for aught else save a defense of his character from charges of the saddest import! I may, and probably shall, bave oecesion, before this canvaes is over, to show up Mr. Latham, os a figure in a spectacular piece, more painfully ridiculous to the sight thao any seriocomedy ever enacted inpablic. Bat, if Latham was in ianocent iguorance, or free from suspicion, at the time these charges were preferred by Tilford, why did he take the trouble to fortify himself with statements of halfa dozen gentlemen connected with the affair? I will state to you to-night the reason why Mr. Til-. ford gave to him the statement which be read to the people of Nevada some week or ten days since. After the Senatorial election was over, Mr. Tilford supposed that Mr. Latham intended to retain hia position as Collector of the port of Sau Francisco. Mr. Tilford, with this rod over Latham, made this proposition : If he (Latham) would resign the position of Collector in Tilford’s favor, Tilford would give Latham a let-. ter exculpating bim from this charge. Mr. Tilford obtained the resignation and the ,recommendation from Mr. Latham. I suppose the recommendation is now ou file in the Treasury Department, Mr. Latham. in his late speech, published a letter given to bim, January, 1857, by Mr. Mahony. In this letter, Maloay rays that he sent Latham to visit me, at my room, at my request. Mr. Latham, in his speech at Nevada, stated that Captain Nye was the man deputed by me to send him to me. While at Sacramento I obtained a letter from Captain Nye, . o’cloek, when be went to bed. Pe pc ee The Candidates for State Printer. For the two years the State of California bas a Public Printer than whom there i# Bone more prompt, more capable, moreefficient or more economieal. He had no. friends around the lobbies urging on the members the necessity of baving thousands of this report printed and tens of thousands of that. ihe members were left entirely to their own judgment io this matter, without being bored by partisans for the benefit of the Printer, and to the injury of the State. When the work was ordered he did it in a mechanical manner, and in the shortest possible time. He wae brought up to the profession, and understands it in all its branches, He is a quiet, unassuming, thorough going businees man, and a practical printer, His party properly saw fit to re-nominate him for the position, and Joha O'Meara is again a candidate for that office which he has 80 satisfactorily filled. Against him is the Hon. 0. T+ Botts, a lawyer by profession, whe knows no more about print ing than a Kamschatkain does about managin @ steam engine. It was generally poe om . that there is a fitoess in all things—that when & duty is to be performed, a man who kaows something about it ought to be chosen to do it, No man in the State who might have a big job of printing to do, would choose a man.to do it who was entirely ignorant of the profession, It is a good rule to a every man in his place; and the place for Mr. Botts is at the bar, or it may be on the bench, but not in a printing office. A bull in a China shop is universally considered ont of bis proper sphere. What would be thought of the party who would nominate a blacksmith who bad never reads law’ book, for Supreme Court Justice ; or a carpenter, who had never seen a copy of Blackstone, for Attorney General? Yet, to do this would be no more inappropriate than to choose as State Printer a man who never set a type in bis life. It is a slur upon the entire mechanical inteligeuce of the State, this nomination of Mr. Botts and ought not to be countenaneed by the mechanics of California, And besides all this, his election would entail great additional expenses on the people, which they would have to meet in their annual taxes, A partisan Legislature would vote bim much unnecessary printing, ia order to give him large profits to spend upon partisan journals, Lle proposes to devote the profits of the office to the publication of a party paper, and if he shall receive no more printing than the present Printer did, there will be nothing worth naming to be spared for euch an end. Hence, of necessity, he will have to call on hie party friends for more and more all the time, They gave bim, last winter, a reporter, and salaried him on the people’s treasury, and if eleeted, they will, if they have the power, be obliged to give him not only reporters but cash betide. The only eafe course then for the people to pursue is to vote for O'Meara.—Sae. Bee, rns Ricar Anour Facw,—The latest news from the Alluntic side announces the not very astonishing fact that the Administration has again stultified itself, in changing tune on the naturalization question, Considering the treacherous aud unreliable character of the present Administration, this news of change of front is by ne means extraordinary, Its career has been marked by blunders of the gravest character from the beginning—one day it was in favor of filibustering, and the next opposed to it; ac one time friendly to Popular Sovereignty, and at another its bitterest enemy ; yesterday it abandoned the naturalized citizen to the tender mercies of European despots, to-day it recog nizes his equality with the native-bora citizen, We repeat that nothing in the eareer of this Administration isto be wondered at, It is weak, vascillating and unreliable ; and its last remarkable somersault is more the result of fright then of honesty of purpose, The extraordinary and unexpected character of the Le Clere and Hofer letters of Gen, Cass have caus ed intense feeling throughout the length and breadth of the Union, and a profound disgust at the weakness and cowardice of the men who rule at Washington, among the adoped citizens of the couvtry. The echo of this dissatisfaction has reached the capital, and lo and behold Geo, Cass’s doctrine is taken all back-—the Administration swallows its own words, and chimes in with the sentiment of the country, With bowever bad grace the thing bas been done, and notwithstanding its unstateamanlike blundering, we are glad that the Administration has mustered sufficient courage to take the back track and proclaim the correct doctrine on this question, But it will be amusing now to observe the poor creatures whu follow this Administration in all ite tergiversations—who . would laud it even though it defied the deyi. — take back all they have said in defevee of Mr. Case’s position, and pitch aside as useless rubbish all the wise precedents which they had huuted up, in order to prove the Admiuistration right in the first instance.

The question of agricultural and grazing ca» pacity of the mountain 3 of this State is one of mueh importance, upon the abandant existence of such capacity will depend the continued settlement and ocnekony ot" of avery large area. The ada: y of the foot hills to tillage and pasturage bas long been known, and we are beginning to have a more oe acquaintance with the elevated couatry lying above them. The worth of the mountain valleys and bill-sides for horticultural, pomologieal and grazing purposes is already practically appreciated by many. Now that we see a number of the mountain towns su plied with fruitand vegetables produced their own vicinity and in their very midst—now that we see extensive vineyards being planted, and apple orchards set out—and visitors to Eastern homes Seeking eagerly back to the incomparable climate of eur lofty s—we grow hopeful and bolieve that ultimately the mineral regions of California will be as blest as any others, instead of being pointed to as mor. ally the worst part of the State—in which light some even yet view them, For the fixeda of becsenlly no mountain country on earth is so admirab q fitted. If the Swiss can live and prosper, and make noble history amidst the rugged and wintry Alps, why cannot the AngloSaxon do as much, with more true pleasure to himself while he is about it, ia the valleys and on the slopes of the Sierra Nevada? £2 In Switzerland the grounds caltivated ia terraces with a southern exposure, which are all walled up on the lower side with. stone and lime. These terraces are commonly from ten to fifty feet wide, and ineline at a considerable bins They ascend up the side of a mountain writes a recent traveler, from five hundred to eight hundred feet, and are reached by stone steps, up which the manure and everything else is carried in baskets, These terraced lands, when good, ‘can seldom be bad forless than $4,000 to $7,000 per acre! They are principally employed for the grape culture. The vines are kept low and trained to stakes about four feet high. Six or eight hundred gallons of wine is the usual product per acre! Thie wine ia the dommon beverage of the country, and sells when new for from twenty to thirty cents a gallon, Lands not terraced are used for pasturage, and though only used about three months in the year and seemingly lyin atan angle of forty-five degrees, comma from $100 to $300 per acre, These ure lands lie clese to the line of perpetual snow and are accessible to herds and herdsmen only by steep and circuitous paths, How would the Swiss exult ia the supertor advantages afforded by the mountains of Callfornia! Here the arable land is abundant, cheap and prolific, needs no costly terracing and walling, and below the line of winter enowa eau be cultivated for various purposes all through the year. The vine yielda double, or more than double, what it docain any other country, and wine is made of a quality so excellent that it is already in demand for expore tation, The parturage for sheep is extensive and lasting, and for cattle during the summer season very rich and cary of access. Above all we havea climate which rivals that of the plaing of Italy. These facts warrant the belief thatifevery gold field was exhausted, there would still be In the Sierra Nevada attractions sufficient to draw thousands jn search of homes, and advantages great enough to hold them here contented, —— Horaons oF SaLventno.— A correspondent, writing from the battle field of Salferino, rays : The plain of Guidizzio is really horrible to look upon. Even so late as yesterday the dead were not all buried. They were to be seen in groups of twenty and thirty, huddled together in one spot, where a shell bad exploded or the Chasseurs d’Afrique had passed. All still maintained the attitude in which death bad struck them down, Iiere was one with uplifted arm to ward off the blow which had split open bis skull, and splashed his brains far and near, Close by was another, with his hand upon bis breast, shivered and rent by the grape. Another seemed to be smiling, as ifin mookery of the grim warrior’s approach. Some were lying upon their backs, with faces turned towards heaven, an prayers still seeming to linger upon their ps. Further on, there waa 4 Hungarian, who had . tbrnst his clothes into a ghastly wound near the heart. At the left was a Tyrolese, with the unused cartridge between his teeth. To the right, a Croat had his head cut off by a ball, aud his bead was by his side, with its horrible eyes, glaring and leering, as it seemed, at the dismembered body. Two young lads of certainly not more than . sixteen years, were lying in each other’s arms, Death bad surprised them in that attitude ; or perbaps feeling themselves about to die, they had clung together ina last embrace, and bad fallen thus never to rise again, Upon the body of 6 Bohemian officer we noticed a dog, waitin apparently for his master to get up. We b not the heart to eall off the faithful animal by a word or a gesture, for we felt sure that God would reward the devotion of this poor dumb creature, 80 touchingly shown amidst the carnage which man had waged against his fellow man, On every side It was thesame. Death, ia his most horrible and ghastly form, glared at us, no matter where we gazed, Aggrar Currents axp BaLiLoontxng.— Wise has written a letter to the New York Tribune, in cans to unite upon » common ticket against the . relation to bis late balloon voyage, in which he Adwinistration nominees bas not been gratified by the Couventious of the two parties, (whigh have nominated entirely distinet tickets,) We . east to says: “There isa current of gir blowing from the the west continually, and this current earnestly hope that Mr. McKibbin will be sue . pang never less than fifty miles an hour—oftentained with cordial unanimity by all Californians who wish to reward the devotion of an honest, fearless, and able Representative.

On Thursday he worked in the shop a¢ usual until 6 o’elock, when he went to supper ip as good health as usual, After supper he complained of extreme heat, and continued to complain until twelve At three o'clock in the morning his room-mate awoke and found him breathing his last.
