Last week we gave & portion of the record of Mr. Armstrong ae the representative of this county in the Assembly, daring the session of the last Legislature. We propose now to investigate the record of the Hon. Phil. Moore, who was also a member of the last Assembly, and bas been nominated for re-election, and shall endeavor to do him noinjustice. Moore’s great forte was to move the previous question and rise to points of order. Asspeaker pro fem. he occupied the chair considerable of the time, and in that position is said to bave done very well. During the session, he introduced three 7 NEVADA DEMOCRAT SE Geo. I.

The first was defeated owing to its unconstitutionality; the second passed the Assembly—we do not know whether it passed the Senate or neanarog pe , Se aiatd rr not; the third became a law. As Chairman ‘of ti eneral, ° duced a substitute for Senate bill No. 146—an State Controller, act to provide for the government of the State Prison and to repeal the act passed during the session of 1858. The bill passed the Senate March 4th and was sent immediately to Mr. Moore’s committee, but from some cause probably known to the chairman, they did not report back the substitute until the 26th of the same month. It passed the Assembly April 14th, just five days before the adjournment, but the Senate, not having time to consider the bill, even had it been meritorious, it failed to become a law. When Assembly bill No. 223, “an act granting the consent of the Legislature for the formation of a different government te the routhern counties of the State,’ came up on its passage, March 25th, Moore “dodged’’ the question. On the following day a motion was made to reeonsider the vote by which the bill passed; and another to indefinitely postpone the motion to reconsider, which was lost by a vote of 25 to 26—--Mr. Moore again not voting. No further action was had on the bill until April 5th, when Mr. Moore voted against the motion to reconsider—see Assembly Journal page 538, The motion to reconsider was lost by a vote of 27 to 32; and thus were the southern counties granted the right to secede, and form « separate government, without consulting the voters of other sections of the State. The bill wae clearly unconstitutional, and Mr. Moore assist ed in its passage. Mr. Armstrong also voted throughout for this bill. On the 17th of April, Assembly bill No. 225 was reached on general file, being “an act to provide for the pay of troops called out to quell the ingurrection in the year 1856,’’ commonly known as the “Bummers’ Bill.’’? Mr. Laspeyre moved that the House go into Committee of the Whole for the purpose of considering the bill, which was refused by a vote of 26 to 37— Mr. Moore not voting. The bill was then indefinitely postponed by a vote of 42 to 20—Mr. Moore again not voting—see Assembly Journal, page 578, This bill proposed to appropriate fifty thousand dollars, and why it was that Mr. Moore “dodged’’ the mafter, we do not know, except that he had not the moral courage to meet it.

QUOTE, viscid cddcodiseecdsseciccees Saturday, Sept. 3d. NEVADA, WEDNESDAY, AUG. 31, 1859. DEMOCRATIC RALLY! — A grand Democratic mass meeting will be held at Nevada on Tuesday evening, September 6th, in front of the Democratic Club Room. Messrs. Chase. Hupp, Belden, Palmer and other speakers, will address the meeting. The meeting was first announced for Saturday evening, Sept. 3d, but in consequence of the county candidates having appointments in other peecincts, it has been postponed until the 6th. The citizens of this township, and of the county generally, are invited to attend. —— San Franeisco Potrtics.—The Lecompton County Convention of San Francisco bas rebelled against the edicts of the Custom House, bills: One to legalize certain acknowledge. the which is likely to cause a split in that delectable party of office holders and office expectants, A majority of the delegates, in view of the weak and demoralized condition of their party in the city, and the utter impossibility of electing a single candidate, nominated two or three candidates that had already been nominated by the anti-Lecompton Democrats, preferring them to the candidates nominated by the People’s party. Upon this, eighteen of the fifty odd delegates withdrew from the regular Convention, organized, and commenced making up o ticket to be supported by the Custom House employees, and their dependents, outside of the “regular organization’’ and consequently are no longer Democrats. of the bolting delegates, exceed two thousand. Rarmroap Convention.—A circular has been issued from the office of Secretary of State, recommending the Sheriffs of this State to call mass meetings in their respective counties, for the purpose of appointing delegates to the Pacific Railroad Convention, to be held at San Each county will be entitled to as many delegates in the Convention as it has Senators and AssemblyFrancisco on the 20th proximo. men in the Legislature. Delegates have been elected in San Francisco and Sacramento, but in other counties little interest seems to have been taken in the matter. Every body is anxious for the construction of the Pacific Railroad, yet but few men in the icterior care about spending three or four weeks in San Francisco and paying their own expenses, Eruption or Mount Hoop.—Oregon papers. lately received, chronicle an eruption of Mount Hood. Dense clouds of smoke and steam were constantly rising over and far above its summit, and occasionally a fash of fire could be distinctly seen at Portland, A large mass on the north-west side had disappeared, and the immense quantity of snow which covered the south side had also disappeared, and the entire face of the mountain had changed. Mount Hood is situated a little south of the Columbia river; itis the most imposing, and we believe the highest, peak of the Cascade Range of mointains, It is evidently of volcanic origin, but many centuries have doubtless elapsed since it was in a state of activity. Eastern Parens.—The Atlantic papers by the Golden Age, which arrived on Sunday, were dispatched for the interior the same day, by Jerry Sullivan, who hired the steamer Clinton for that purpose. By this means the papers arrived at Nevada on Monday evening, one day abead of the mail. We are indebted to Hamlin, of the Broad Street Book Store, and to Welch, of the Pioneer Book Store, for papers from all sections of the Eastern States. According to the theory of the Lecomptonites, the eighteen bolting delegates have placed themselves The office holders organ, however, has refused to support the regular nominees of its party, and intimated its intention of supporting the eandidates The Leeompton candidates for State officers will get but a very small vote in San Francisco—probably not to dollars ought to command the careful action and consideration of a representative who desired to act for the best interests of the State and his constituents. Mr. Moore voted to indefinitely postpone Assembly bill No, 275, to reduce the pay of members of the Legislature; he neglected to vote on the resolution to pay an official reporter fourteen dollars a day; he voted against the bill to reduce the fees of the Supreme Court Clerk, and also against the bill abolishing the aseless office of State Guager. He was the member who moved the rejection of this latter bill, and also its indefinite postponement. He also voted to allow Mr. Walkup extra compensation for services as Warden of the State Prison. The bill provided for paying Walkup twenty-three huodred and thirty dollars, when he was entitled by law to receive only six hundred and eighty dollars. This the law allowed him in addition to seventy-five dollars s month as Director of the State Prison. Walkup’s friends contended that he was entitled to ten dollars a day from the date of his appointment as Warden, in addition to $75 a month as Director, which amounted to $2,330; while it*was clearly the intention of the law of 1858 that he should receive ten dollars a day only for the time he was actually employed, besides the $75 a month, The Attorney General gave it as bis opinion that Walkup was only entitled to $680; and had it been the intent of the law to allow him $2,330 there would have been no neceusity of bringing in a bill making the appropriation, as the law appropriated all that was necessary tocarry out the provisions of the act. We were mistaken last week, in giving Armstrong’s record, in stating the amount allowed Walkup at eight dollars a day—it should have been ten. There is one act of Phil. Moore’s during the session which entitles him toa credit mark. In the contested election case of Hoyt vs. Tipton, he voted with the minority in favor of the contestant, who was justly entitled to the seat, for the reason that he had received the highest number of votes. In all other respects Moore was a bitter and unecrupulous partisan, trampling without hesitation upon the rights of the minority whenever an opportunity offered. Takine Tutnas.—The Grass Valley National has charged that Kent was once tried for taking an ox that belonged to some one else. The charge has been shown to be false. While on the subject of taking things, will the editor of the Grass Valley paper inform the public whether he has any recollection of some body taking a keg of ink that did not belong to the individual that took it; also, who paid the freight, and what become of the label? Was it burnt in the National office? When a teamster loses a freight bill, aod makes an inquiry tu ascertain the owner of the goods, is it the “custom’’ in the mountains for the first man of whom the inquiry is made to claim the property ? Santa Banpara.—The Democratic Convention of Santa Barbara county have nominated Don Pablo de la Guerra for State Senator, and Gen. J. M. Covarrubias for the Assembly. ——— CHARLES KENT. The two last issues of the Grass Valley National dent intention of making the public believe that Mr. Kent was arrested and tried for stealing an ox, in this place, in 1855. The Lecomps of this county must regard their chances as desperate, when they have to resort to such despicable slanders in order to bolster up a rotten cause. The following paragraph, copied from the last issue of the National, including italics, contains the substance of the maliciouly false charge : We are informed that on the trial of Kent for taking Riley’s ox in Nevada, 1855, a witness was introduced for prosecution, (who still resides in Nevada.) testifed that the hide of the unfortuuaate ox was burnt at Kent’s sla house. A witness was then introduced by defendant to prove that it was the cusiom of butchers in that place to burn hides. As this matter may be harped on throughout the county a day or two before the election, for the purpose of prejudicing voters against Mr. Kent, we shall now give some ofthe facts upon which the above vile insinuations are founded. Inthe summer of 1855 the firms of Middleton & Riley and McAllister & Kent, (we use the names by which the firms were then known) who were engaged in the butchering business, had their cattle herded together, and slaughtered in the same yard. Mr. Dinsmore, the herdsman, was one day thrown from his mule and seriously injured. He was brought into town for medical treatment, and the cattle consequently become scattered. Towards evening, the butchers, learning of the accident to Dinsmore, got on their horses and hunted up a number of the animals and three or four were killed that evening, neither of the partners of the two firms being present. The cattle were not branded so as to be distinguished, and the butchers had always depended on Dinsmore to tell them which belonged to either firm, but as he was not present itis not at allimprobable that a mistake may have been made. Some two or three months after this, Middleton & Riley ascertained that one of their animals was missing and alleged that it had been killed by mistake for McAllister & Kent, and brought a civil suit for the value of an ox. The case was first tried before a Justice of the Peace, and the plaintiffs obtained a judgment for sixty-two dollars, being the average value of a beef animal. The defendants being dissatisfied with this judgment appealed the case to the County Court, and in the meantime sent men over the country to hunt up the missing animal, but it was not found and the judgment in the Justice’s Court was affirmed. During one of the trials, a witness was introduced to prove that a hide had been burnt at the slaughter yard. The witness testified that he was riding along near the yard one day, and sawaman pullahide from the fence and lay it down near a fire which had been kindled to burn the offal, bones, &c., that had accumulated about the yard. The same witness informed us the other day, that this was what he saw, andthe substance of what he testified. To counteract the impression which this evidence might have on the minds of the jury, the defendants proved that the hide which was supposed to have been burned, had been sold to the proprietors of the Excelsior mill, for belting purposes, that the man took it from the fence to deliver it to the person who was to receive it for the mill owners, and laid it down for the purpose of stirring up the fire. A witness was also introduced by the defendants who testified “that it was the custom of butchers” in this place, to burn the bones and offal that accumulated about the slaughter yards ; but no witness was introduced to prove that it was customary for butchers “to burn hides.” Mr. Stewart, the attorney of Middleton & Riley, stated in his speech to the jury, that all the plaintiffs claimed was, that the butchers had, through mistake, killed one of the plaintiffs’ animals, supposing it to belong to McAllister & Kent. We get the above information from jurors who tried the case, from witnesses who were examined, and from the attorneys. There may be some trifling inaccuracy in the statement, as_ the affair happened severa! years ago, and would never have been thought of, had not Kent been a candidate for office; but the circumstances as related are substantially correct. We are not in the habit of heaping fulsome flattery upon candidates for office; but the vilest means have been resorted to for the purpose of prejudicing the voters against our nominee for Sheriff, and we take this occasion to saya wordin his behalf. Charles Kent has resided in Nevada some six years, and during this time has been actively engaged in . ge’ business. He is esteemed as one of our best and most energetic citizens, liberal to a fault, and his integrity and honesty have never been questioned here where he is best known. In this precinct, where both the candidates for Sheriff reside, Kent will receive a majority of from four to five hundred votes. Rrenarp Rvsu.—The Hon. Riebard Rush, whose death at Philadelphia has been announced, has occupied a large space in the political history of the country. He wan oson of Dr. Benjamin Rush, one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. He was educated as a lawyer, but took an active interest in politics, and was appointed by President Monroe as Minister Plenipotentiary to England. He was Secretary of the Treasury under John Q. Adams, and in 1847 was appointed Minister to France by Mr. Polk, which office he held until the election of Gen, Taylor to the Presidency, when he retired to private life. Nat. Brown anv THe JournaL.—In our last issue we gave Mr. Nat. Brown a complimeatary notice on bis retiring as one of the proprietors of the Journal, and at the same time took occasion to figure a little upon a ridiculous boast of that paper in regard to the business of its office. The Journal construes our allusion to its own statement into an attack upon Mr. Brown! Thatis one way to divert attention from the real subject at issue. PxtaLuma.—The Trustees of the town of Petaluma have taken measures to improve the navigation of Petaluma creek. Mr. E. R. Moffut has taken the contract to eut through the Newtown bend—the worst b:sa :8 ‘he creek—at the rate of fifty cents a yard. The estimated amount of cutting in this bend is about six thousand yards, PIXLEY ON Taw Stump.—Frank Pixley, the leader of the Republican party of this State, delivered a speech at Sacramento a few evenings ago, which was prineipally devoted to denuociations of Broderick. He was vociferously applauded by the Lecomptonites present, and he seems latterly to have become vy ular with that eae nine d Knreut’s Lanpina News.—We have received the first number of a paper of the above name, published at Knight’s Landing, Yolo county, by Messrs.

Kentucky.—In this State, the Opposition candidates in the 3d, 5th 7th and 9th Congressional Districts are elected. In the 4th District the result is doubtful, and in the remaining five districts the Democratic candidates are elected.

By the Overland Mail, which left St. Louis August 4th, we gather the following items: Rartroap Accrprnt.—A terrible accident occurred on the North Railroad, vear Albany, N. Y., on the evening of August 2d, The train was passing the bridge spanning the Tomhannock creek, when it was precipitated into the creek, a distance of twenty feet. The water was from six to eight feet deep. Nine passengers were killed and their bodies recovered, and it was supposed that there were more bodies under the wreck. Twenty persons were wounded. AtanaMa En.gction.—In the Third Congressional District, David Clapton, dem., has a majority of 200 over T. J Judge, Independent Southern Rights candidate, The Hon. James Stallworth, dem., has been re-elected to Congress by 3000 majority. Sr. Lovis E.xcrion,—At the election beld in St. Louis, August Ist, the Republicans elected a majority of their candidates for county and city offices.

Deatn or Horace Mann.—Horace Mann, Professor of Antioch College, died at Yellow Springs, Ohio. August 2d. Senator Davis.—Private dispatches received at Washington, announce the serious illness of Senator Jefferson Davis, of Mississippi. Prizz Fieut.—In St. Louis Michael Murray and Hughes had a regular prize fight, which was attended by a thou sand persons, The police arrested the principals, but not until they had fought a long time. Tux Havre Consvtsuir.—Col. Sim Johnson. one of the editors of the late Washington Union, who, several months ago, was appointed Consul to Havre, but never proceeded to his post of duty, has tendered his resignation to the President, Osrrvary.—Mrs. Martha E, Paschall, wife of the senior partner of the St. Louis Republican, died in that city, August 4th, in the fiftieth year of her age. Lyncuinc at SANTA Barpara.—The San Francisco Herald is indebted to Mr. L. Goodman, who arrived from Santa Barbara last Friday evening, for the following intelligence : Tuesday night, Aug. 23d some persons went to the house of Senor Badillo, five miles from Santa Barbara, on the road to Buenaventura, and _ after seizing upon the father, and his son aged about seventeen years, took them to a tree about —_ yards from the house, and hung them. The Badillos are reported to have been accused of cattle stealing. On the following morning the terrible tragedy became known in town, when a yoey of fifty or sixt native Californians armed themselves and anicead: ed to hunt up the murderers. Suspicion fastened upon a man named Nidiver, and his two sons who were immediately captured. George Nidiver, one of the sons, was then taken out and shot, while the father and the remaining son, were carried to town and placed in prison. These proceedings created a great excitement among the American population of Santa Barbara, and they immediately turned out in numbers to guard the jail, or it was feared that the surviving Nidivers would be taken out during the night and hung or shot. Affairs were in this state when Mr. Goodman left Santa Barbara. NortHern Mexico.—A dispatch from Washington, dated August 2d, says that Government is in the receipt of important private dispatches from Northern Mexico. It was expected that within ninety days three thousand American troops will be organized on the Rio Grande, properly armed and equi! , for the purpose of marching upon the city of Mexico, and exterminating the whole Miramon faction. The Opata Indians were committing great rava3 in Northern Sonora, shooting the men and ravishing the women. The troops seem afraid to attack them. An American citizen of Arizona was in jail at Magdalena for no offence, and fears were entertained that he would be murdered. It is utterly impossible for an American to travel in — without being massacred or robbed of everything. t is the intention of the government to establish posts on the frontier of the Apache country. A gentleman who was present on the occasion of Broderick’s speech at Mokelumne Hill, on Wednesday evening of last week, asserts that Dave used the pronoun . one hundred and seventy-three times in a s h of twenty minutes, and this without discussing a single prominent political question.—S. F. National, In the leader of the National on the same day that the above appeared, the pronoun we occurs nineteen times. The article is but sixty-two lines in length and requires just one minute to be read distinctly. Allowing it to have been as long as Broderick’s speech the word would have occurred three hunred and eighty times, and the probability is that Lenn . prominent or otherwise would have been discussed.—S. F. News. Tue SLAvE TRADE AND DisuNnIon.—It is reee in Washington that the Mississippi State onvention have instructed their delegates to the Charleston Convention to withdraw from that body unless they succeed in engrafting upon the platform the repeal of alllaws against the slave trade, and the enactment by Congress of laws for the protection of slave property in the United States Territories. The South Carolina delegation will follow them. The next movement in the programme is to call a Convention, if it is not already called, of disaffected Southern States, to meet on the 10th of November, to declare the dissolution of the Union, and to induce as many States as will co-operate to withdraw from it. MurpERED.—A Jew pedlar, named Simon Glickman, was murdered near La Porte, Sierra county, August 26th. His body was found near the trail leading from St. Louis to La Porte. He had received nine stabs, and when found the blood was gushing from every wound. It is supposed that he was murdered for his money, as he was known to have had $100 in his possession. On examining the body, $86,650 was found in his boot, and it is thought the robbers got only $13,50. Tas Mosave WAR Re-Orenep.—The Los Anoie Star has an extended account of a battle fought between fifty U. S. troops and a large force of ig Indians, on the 5th inst., fifteen miles from Fort Mojave. Between fifty and sixty Indians were killed. ree of the soldiers were wounded. The Indians exhibited great daring—coming within ten or fifteen feet of the troops—and only retreated after receiving frequent murderous discharges of musketry. Szr1ovs AccIDENT.—A workman in the Vulcan Foundry, San Francisco, named Neil Barr, was severely injured on Thursday, August 25th, by a blow from a large piece of casting which he was attempting to hoist. The chain broke and the iron struck Barr on the side, causing a bad wound. Doveias on Naturawization.—A dispatch from Washington, of August 8th says that Senator Douglas has written a letter to John L. Peyton, of Stanton, Va., in which he takes the ground that there should be no difference in the degree of protection extended by this Government to native and naturalized citizens, Pelitical Prospects in Siskiyou County. Frencu Guicu, Aug. 20th 1859. Eprror Democrat :—In some respects the political prospect in Siskiyou county is favorable to the success of the anti-Lecompton party. Men, who for the past five or six years have borne an active part in the political struggles of this county, and are well qualified, from experience and opportunity to judge correctly of indications, during the early part of the canvass, gave it as their opinion that the anti-Lecompton State ticket would receive from four to six hundred majority in the county. Such were the opinions they entertained previous to the publication of the Cass-LeClerc letter, setting forth the extraordinary doctrine of the Administration in regard to the rights of naturalized citizens, and before Broderick’s visit to this part of the State. The occurrence of these two events has done much toward increasing the prospects of the success of the anti-Administration party with us. Our naturalized citizens, of whom there is a goodly number, almost unanimously declare against the Administration, that can so burlesque their expectations, and defraud them of rights purchased at the expense of home and “native land,” and will manifest their feelings, by their votes upon the State ticket ; while Broderick surprised his enemies with uncontrovertible evidence of his ability to make a speech, and convinced all classes of the fact, that the junior Representative of California, in the U.S. Senate, was a MAN—and_ not the thing pictured to their minds by his slanderers. Everywhere he went he was greeted with the greatest enthusiasm, and the crowds gathered from all parts to listen to his speeches, and on dispersing, each bore to his comrades in every gulch and ravine, their own convic tions of his honesty and capacity, as well as the integrity of the principles for which he was battling. He has certainly rendered efficient service to his party, leaving on his track an influence that others who have followed, failed to destroy. If experienced politicians found data upon which to establish their estimate of the vote previous to the occurrence of the mentioned events, I believe I am now safe in saying, that their estimated majority will be increased several hundred. There is no doubt but that the action of the antiLecompton County Convention, injured the State ticket to some extent. That Convention placed Yreka upon the shoulders of the party in the selection of nominees for four or five of the best offices on the list, thus fostering dissatisfaction among the voters in other parts of the county, where the doctrine of equality in the distribution of offices, is looked upon and recognized as a part of their political creed. This has created quite a feeling in the party which may detract a considerable number of votes from the State ticket, which otherwise would have been cast for it. Could the contest have been narrowed down strictly to one of principle, the anti-Lecompton majority of this county would have been very heavy— but unfortunately, the strife will be more between men, and governed by local influences, so thata full and fair expression upon the principles at issue will not be obtained. Cc. G. A Lona Fast.—Mrs. Mathews of Marysville, recently, by accident, enclosed a hen in a provision vault, where it remained twenty days, during which time it deposited two eggs.

Last week we gave & portion of the record of Mr. Armstrong ae the representative of this county in the Assembly, daring the session of the last Legislature. We propose now to investigate the record of the Hon. Phil. Moore, who was also a member of the last Assembly, and bas been nominated for re-election, and shall endeavor to do him noinjustice. Moore’s great forte was to move the previous question and rise to points of order. Asspeaker pro fem. he occupied the chair considerable of the time, and in that position is said to bave done very well. During the session, he introduced three 7 NEVADA DEMOCRAT SE Geo. I.

The first was defeated owing to its unconstitutionality; the second passed the Assembly—we do not know whether it passed the Senate or neanarog pe , Se aiatd rr not; the third became a law. As Chairman ‘of ti eneral, ° duced a substitute for Senate bill No. 146—an State Controller, act to provide for the government of the State Prison and to repeal the act passed during the session of 1858. The bill passed the Senate March 4th and was sent immediately to Mr. Moore’s committee, but from some cause probably known to the chairman, they did not report back the substitute until the 26th of the same month. It passed the Assembly April 14th, just five days before the adjournment, but the Senate, not having time to consider the bill, even had it been meritorious, it failed to become a law. When Assembly bill No. 223, “an act granting the consent of the Legislature for the formation of a different government te the routhern counties of the State,’ came up on its passage, March 25th, Moore “dodged’’ the question. On the following day a motion was made to reeonsider the vote by which the bill passed; and another to indefinitely postpone the motion to reconsider, which was lost by a vote of 25 to 26—--Mr. Moore again not voting. No further action was had on the bill until April 5th, when Mr. Moore voted against the motion to reconsider—see Assembly Journal page 538, The motion to reconsider was lost by a vote of 27 to 32; and thus were the southern counties granted the right to secede, and form « separate government, without consulting the voters of other sections of the State. The bill wae clearly unconstitutional, and Mr. Moore assist ed in its passage. Mr. Armstrong also voted throughout for this bill. On the 17th of April, Assembly bill No. 225 was reached on general file, being “an act to provide for the pay of troops called out to quell the ingurrection in the year 1856,’’ commonly known as the “Bummers’ Bill.’’? Mr. Laspeyre moved that the House go into Committee of the Whole for the purpose of considering the bill, which was refused by a vote of 26 to 37— Mr. Moore not voting. The bill was then indefinitely postponed by a vote of 42 to 20—Mr. Moore again not voting—see Assembly Journal, page 578, This bill proposed to appropriate fifty thousand dollars, and why it was that Mr. Moore “dodged’’ the mafter, we do not know, except that he had not the moral courage to meet it.

DEMOCRATIC RALLY! — A grand Democratic mass meeting will be held at Nevada on Tuesday evening, September 6th, in front of the Democratic Club Room. Messrs. Chase. Hupp, Belden, Palmer and other speakers, will address the meeting. The meeting was first announced for Saturday evening, Sept. 3d, but in consequence of the county candidates having appointments in other peecincts, it has been postponed until the 6th. The citizens of this township, and of the county generally, are invited to attend. —— San Franeisco Potrtics.—The Lecompton County Convention of San Francisco bas rebelled against the edicts of the Custom House, bills: One to legalize certain acknowledge. the which is likely to cause a split in that delectable party of office holders and office expectants, A majority of the delegates, in view of the weak and demoralized condition of their party in the city, and the utter impossibility of electing a single candidate, nominated two or three candidates that had already been nominated by the anti-Lecompton Democrats, preferring them to the candidates nominated by the People’s party. Upon this, eighteen of the fifty odd delegates withdrew from the regular Convention, organized, and commenced making up o ticket to be supported by the Custom House employees, and their dependents, outside of the “regular organization’’ and consequently are no longer Democrats. of the bolting delegates, exceed two thousand. Rarmroap Convention.—A circular has been issued from the office of Secretary of State, recommending the Sheriffs of this State to call mass meetings in their respective counties, for the purpose of appointing delegates to the Pacific Railroad Convention, to be held at San Each county will be entitled to as many delegates in the Convention as it has Senators and AssemblyFrancisco on the 20th proximo. men in the Legislature. Delegates have been elected in San Francisco and Sacramento, but in other counties little interest seems to have been taken in the matter. Every body is anxious for the construction of the Pacific Railroad, yet but few men in the icterior care about spending three or four weeks in San Francisco and paying their own expenses, Eruption or Mount Hoop.—Oregon papers. lately received, chronicle an eruption of Mount Hood. Dense clouds of smoke and steam were constantly rising over and far above its summit, and occasionally a fash of fire could be distinctly seen at Portland, A large mass on the north-west side had disappeared, and the immense quantity of snow which covered the south side had also disappeared, and the entire face of the mountain had changed. Mount Hood is situated a little south of the Columbia river; itis the most imposing, and we believe the highest, peak of the Cascade Range of mointains, It is evidently of volcanic origin, but many centuries have doubtless elapsed since it was in a state of activity. Eastern Parens.—The Atlantic papers by the Golden Age, which arrived on Sunday, were dispatched for the interior the same day, by Jerry Sullivan, who hired the steamer Clinton for that purpose. By this means the papers arrived at Nevada on Monday evening, one day abead of the mail. We are indebted to Hamlin, of the Broad Street Book Store, and to Welch, of the Pioneer Book Store, for papers from all sections of the Eastern States. According to the theory of the Lecomptonites, the eighteen bolting delegates have placed themselves The office holders organ, however, has refused to support the regular nominees of its party, and intimated its intention of supporting the eandidates The Leeompton candidates for State officers will get but a very small vote in San Francisco—probably not to dollars ought to command the careful action and consideration of a representative who desired to act for the best interests of the State and his constituents. Mr. Moore voted to indefinitely postpone Assembly bill No, 275, to reduce the pay of members of the Legislature; he neglected to vote on the resolution to pay an official reporter fourteen dollars a day; he voted against the bill to reduce the fees of the Supreme Court Clerk, and also against the bill abolishing the aseless office of State Guager. He was the member who moved the rejection of this latter bill, and also its indefinite postponement. He also voted to allow Mr. Walkup extra compensation for services as Warden of the State Prison. The bill provided for paying Walkup twenty-three huodred and thirty dollars, when he was entitled by law to receive only six hundred and eighty dollars. This the law allowed him in addition to seventy-five dollars s month as Director of the State Prison. Walkup’s friends contended that he was entitled to ten dollars a day from the date of his appointment as Warden, in addition to $75 a month as Director, which amounted to $2,330; while it*was clearly the intention of the law of 1858 that he should receive ten dollars a day only for the time he was actually employed, besides the $75 a month, The Attorney General gave it as bis opinion that Walkup was only entitled to $680; and had it been the intent of the law to allow him $2,330 there would have been no neceusity of bringing in a bill making the appropriation, as the law appropriated all that was necessary tocarry out the provisions of the act. We were mistaken last week, in giving Armstrong’s record, in stating the amount allowed Walkup at eight dollars a day—it should have been ten. There is one act of Phil. Moore’s during the session which entitles him toa credit mark. In the contested election case of Hoyt vs. Tipton, he voted with the minority in favor of the contestant, who was justly entitled to the seat, for the reason that he had received the highest number of votes. In all other respects Moore was a bitter and unecrupulous partisan, trampling without hesitation upon the rights of the minority whenever an opportunity offered. Takine Tutnas.—The Grass Valley National has charged that Kent was once tried for taking an ox that belonged to some one else. The charge has been shown to be false. While on the subject of taking things, will the editor of the Grass Valley paper inform the public whether he has any recollection of some body taking a keg of ink that did not belong to the individual that took it; also, who paid the freight, and what become of the label? Was it burnt in the National office? When a teamster loses a freight bill, aod makes an inquiry tu ascertain the owner of the goods, is it the “custom’’ in the mountains for the first man of whom the inquiry is made to claim the property ? Santa Banpara.—The Democratic Convention of Santa Barbara county have nominated Don Pablo de la Guerra for State Senator, and Gen. J. M. Covarrubias for the Assembly. ——— CHARLES KENT. The two last issues of the Grass Valley National dent intention of making the public believe that Mr. Kent was arrested and tried for stealing an ox, in this place, in 1855. The Lecomps of this county must regard their chances as desperate, when they have to resort to such despicable slanders in order to bolster up a rotten cause. The following paragraph, copied from the last issue of the National, including italics, contains the substance of the maliciouly false charge : We are informed that on the trial of Kent for taking Riley’s ox in Nevada, 1855, a witness was introduced for prosecution, (who still resides in Nevada.) testifed that the hide of the unfortuuaate ox was burnt at Kent’s sla house. A witness was then introduced by defendant to prove that it was the cusiom of butchers in that place to burn hides. As this matter may be harped on throughout the county a day or two before the election, for the purpose of prejudicing voters against Mr. Kent, we shall now give some ofthe facts upon which the above vile insinuations are founded. Inthe summer of 1855 the firms of Middleton & Riley and McAllister & Kent, (we use the names by which the firms were then known) who were engaged in the butchering business, had their cattle herded together, and slaughtered in the same yard. Mr. Dinsmore, the herdsman, was one day thrown from his mule and seriously injured. He was brought into town for medical treatment, and the cattle consequently become scattered. Towards evening, the butchers, learning of the accident to Dinsmore, got on their horses and hunted up a number of the animals and three or four were killed that evening, neither of the partners of the two firms being present. The cattle were not branded so as to be distinguished, and the butchers had always depended on Dinsmore to tell them which belonged to either firm, but as he was not present itis not at allimprobable that a mistake may have been made. Some two or three months after this, Middleton & Riley ascertained that one of their animals was missing and alleged that it had been killed by mistake for McAllister & Kent, and brought a civil suit for the value of an ox. The case was first tried before a Justice of the Peace, and the plaintiffs obtained a judgment for sixty-two dollars, being the average value of a beef animal. The defendants being dissatisfied with this judgment appealed the case to the County Court, and in the meantime sent men over the country to hunt up the missing animal, but it was not found and the judgment in the Justice’s Court was affirmed. During one of the trials, a witness was introduced to prove that a hide had been burnt at the slaughter yard. The witness testified that he was riding along near the yard one day, and sawaman pullahide from the fence and lay it down near a fire which had been kindled to burn the offal, bones, &c., that had accumulated about the yard. The same witness informed us the other day, that this was what he saw, andthe substance of what he testified. To counteract the impression which this evidence might have on the minds of the jury, the defendants proved that the hide which was supposed to have been burned, had been sold to the proprietors of the Excelsior mill, for belting purposes, that the man took it from the fence to deliver it to the person who was to receive it for the mill owners, and laid it down for the purpose of stirring up the fire. A witness was also introduced by the defendants who testified “that it was the custom of butchers” in this place, to burn the bones and offal that accumulated about the slaughter yards ; but no witness was introduced to prove that it was customary for butchers “to burn hides.” Mr. Stewart, the attorney of Middleton & Riley, stated in his speech to the jury, that all the plaintiffs claimed was, that the butchers had, through mistake, killed one of the plaintiffs’ animals, supposing it to belong to McAllister & Kent. We get the above information from jurors who tried the case, from witnesses who were examined, and from the attorneys. There may be some trifling inaccuracy in the statement, as_ the affair happened severa! years ago, and would never have been thought of, had not Kent been a candidate for office; but the circumstances as related are substantially correct. We are not in the habit of heaping fulsome flattery upon candidates for office; but the vilest means have been resorted to for the purpose of prejudicing the voters against our nominee for Sheriff, and we take this occasion to saya wordin his behalf. Charles Kent has resided in Nevada some six years, and during this time has been actively engaged in . ge’ business. He is esteemed as one of our best and most energetic citizens, liberal to a fault, and his integrity and honesty have never been questioned here where he is best known. In this precinct, where both the candidates for Sheriff reside, Kent will receive a majority of from four to five hundred votes. Rrenarp Rvsu.—The Hon. Riebard Rush, whose death at Philadelphia has been announced, has occupied a large space in the political history of the country. He wan oson of Dr. Benjamin Rush, one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. He was educated as a lawyer, but took an active interest in politics, and was appointed by President Monroe as Minister Plenipotentiary to England. He was Secretary of the Treasury under John Q. Adams, and in 1847 was appointed Minister to France by Mr. Polk, which office he held until the election of Gen, Taylor to the Presidency, when he retired to private life. Nat. Brown anv THe JournaL.—In our last issue we gave Mr. Nat. Brown a complimeatary notice on bis retiring as one of the proprietors of the Journal, and at the same time took occasion to figure a little upon a ridiculous boast of that paper in regard to the business of its office. The Journal construes our allusion to its own statement into an attack upon Mr. Brown! Thatis one way to divert attention from the real subject at issue. PxtaLuma.—The Trustees of the town of Petaluma have taken measures to improve the navigation of Petaluma creek. Mr. E. R. Moffut has taken the contract to eut through the Newtown bend—the worst b:sa :8 ‘he creek—at the rate of fifty cents a yard. The estimated amount of cutting in this bend is about six thousand yards, PIXLEY ON Taw Stump.—Frank Pixley, the leader of the Republican party of this State, delivered a speech at Sacramento a few evenings ago, which was prineipally devoted to denuociations of Broderick. He was vociferously applauded by the Lecomptonites present, and he seems latterly to have become vy ular with that eae nine d Knreut’s Lanpina News.—We have received the first number of a paper of the above name, published at Knight’s Landing, Yolo county, by Messrs.

The Democratic candidates for State officers are elected by from 7,000 to 10,000 majority. ‘TENNESSEE.—The returns as far as received, indicate the election of the Democratic candidate for Governor, by about 6,000 majority. For Congress, the Opposition have elected their candidates in the 2d, 3d 4th Sth and 6th districts. The lst and 9th districts are doubtful, and the Democrats have elected their candidates in the 6th, 7th and 8th districts. In the last Congress the Tennessee delegation stood 3 Democrats and 7 Opposition. The returns for the State Legislature indicate a Democratic majority in both Houses.

Lyncuinc at SANTA Barpara.—The San Francisco Herald is indebted to Mr. L. Goodman, who arrived from Santa Barbara last Friday evening, for the following intelligence : Tuesday night, Aug. 23d some persons went to the house of Senor Badillo, five miles from Santa Barbara, on the road to Buenaventura, and _ after seizing upon the father, and his son aged about seventeen years, took them to a tree about —_ yards from the house, and hung them. The Badillos are reported to have been accused of cattle stealing. On the following morning the terrible tragedy became known in town, when a yoey of fifty or sixt native Californians armed themselves and anicead: ed to hunt up the murderers. Suspicion fastened upon a man named Nidiver, and his two sons who were immediately captured. George Nidiver, one of the sons, was then taken out and shot, while the father and the remaining son, were carried to town and placed in prison. These proceedings created a great excitement among the American population of Santa Barbara, and they immediately turned out in numbers to guard the jail, or it was feared that the surviving Nidivers would be taken out during the night and hung or shot. Affairs were in this state when Mr. Goodman left Santa Barbara. NortHern Mexico.—A dispatch from Washington, dated August 2d, says that Government is in the receipt of important private dispatches from Northern Mexico. It was expected that within ninety days three thousand American troops will be organized on the Rio Grande, properly armed and equi! , for the purpose of marching upon the city of Mexico, and exterminating the whole Miramon faction. The Opata Indians were committing great rava3 in Northern Sonora, shooting the men and ravishing the women. The troops seem afraid to attack them. An American citizen of Arizona was in jail at Magdalena for no offence, and fears were entertained that he would be murdered. It is utterly impossible for an American to travel in — without being massacred or robbed of everything. t is the intention of the government to establish posts on the frontier of the Apache country. A gentleman who was present on the occasion of Broderick’s speech at Mokelumne Hill, on Wednesday evening of last week, asserts that Dave used the pronoun . one hundred and seventy-three times in a s h of twenty minutes, and this without discussing a single prominent political question.—S. F. National, In the leader of the National on the same day that the above appeared, the pronoun we occurs nineteen times. The article is but sixty-two lines in length and requires just one minute to be read distinctly. Allowing it to have been as long as Broderick’s speech the word would have occurred three hunred and eighty times, and the probability is that Lenn . prominent or otherwise would have been discussed.—S. F. News. Tue SLAvE TRADE AND DisuNnIon.—It is reee in Washington that the Mississippi State onvention have instructed their delegates to the Charleston Convention to withdraw from that body unless they succeed in engrafting upon the platform the repeal of alllaws against the slave trade, and the enactment by Congress of laws for the protection of slave property in the United States Territories. The South Carolina delegation will follow them. The next movement in the programme is to call a Convention, if it is not already called, of disaffected Southern States, to meet on the 10th of November, to declare the dissolution of the Union, and to induce as many States as will co-operate to withdraw from it. MurpERED.—A Jew pedlar, named Simon Glickman, was murdered near La Porte, Sierra county, August 26th. His body was found near the trail leading from St. Louis to La Porte. He had received nine stabs, and when found the blood was gushing from every wound. It is supposed that he was murdered for his money, as he was known to have had $100 in his possession. On examining the body, $86,650 was found in his boot, and it is thought the robbers got only $13,50. Tas Mosave WAR Re-Orenep.—The Los Anoie Star has an extended account of a battle fought between fifty U. S. troops and a large force of ig Indians, on the 5th inst., fifteen miles from Fort Mojave. Between fifty and sixty Indians were killed. ree of the soldiers were wounded. The Indians exhibited great daring—coming within ten or fifteen feet of the troops—and only retreated after receiving frequent murderous discharges of musketry. Szr1ovs AccIDENT.—A workman in the Vulcan Foundry, San Francisco, named Neil Barr, was severely injured on Thursday, August 25th, by a blow from a large piece of casting which he was attempting to hoist. The chain broke and the iron struck Barr on the side, causing a bad wound. Doveias on Naturawization.—A dispatch from Washington, of August 8th says that Senator Douglas has written a letter to John L. Peyton, of Stanton, Va., in which he takes the ground that there should be no difference in the degree of protection extended by this Government to native and naturalized citizens, Pelitical Prospects in Siskiyou County. Frencu Guicu, Aug. 20th 1859. Eprror Democrat :—In some respects the political prospect in Siskiyou county is favorable to the success of the anti-Lecompton party. Men, who for the past five or six years have borne an active part in the political struggles of this county, and are well qualified, from experience and opportunity to judge correctly of indications, during the early part of the canvass, gave it as their opinion that the anti-Lecompton State ticket would receive from four to six hundred majority in the county. Such were the opinions they entertained previous to the publication of the Cass-LeClerc letter, setting forth the extraordinary doctrine of the Administration in regard to the rights of naturalized citizens, and before Broderick’s visit to this part of the State. The occurrence of these two events has done much toward increasing the prospects of the success of the anti-Administration party with us. Our naturalized citizens, of whom there is a goodly number, almost unanimously declare against the Administration, that can so burlesque their expectations, and defraud them of rights purchased at the expense of home and “native land,” and will manifest their feelings, by their votes upon the State ticket ; while Broderick surprised his enemies with uncontrovertible evidence of his ability to make a speech, and convinced all classes of the fact, that the junior Representative of California, in the U.S. Senate, was a MAN—and_ not the thing pictured to their minds by his slanderers. Everywhere he went he was greeted with the greatest enthusiasm, and the crowds gathered from all parts to listen to his speeches, and on dispersing, each bore to his comrades in every gulch and ravine, their own convic tions of his honesty and capacity, as well as the integrity of the principles for which he was battling. He has certainly rendered efficient service to his party, leaving on his track an influence that others who have followed, failed to destroy. If experienced politicians found data upon which to establish their estimate of the vote previous to the occurrence of the mentioned events, I believe I am now safe in saying, that their estimated majority will be increased several hundred. There is no doubt but that the action of the antiLecompton County Convention, injured the State ticket to some extent. That Convention placed Yreka upon the shoulders of the party in the selection of nominees for four or five of the best offices on the list, thus fostering dissatisfaction among the voters in other parts of the county, where the doctrine of equality in the distribution of offices, is looked upon and recognized as a part of their political creed. This has created quite a feeling in the party which may detract a considerable number of votes from the State ticket, which otherwise would have been cast for it. Could the contest have been narrowed down strictly to one of principle, the anti-Lecompton majority of this county would have been very heavy— but unfortunately, the strife will be more between men, and governed by local influences, so thata full and fair expression upon the principles at issue will not be obtained. Cc. G. A Lona Fast.—Mrs. Mathews of Marysville, recently, by accident, enclosed a hen in a provision vault, where it remained twenty days, during which time it deposited two eggs. When released from imprisonment, she poor creature was terribly ‘“‘emaciated,” but by judicious treatment, was ultimately “restored to health.” OvERLAND IMMIGRANTS.—A number of immigrants, principally from Illinois and Wisconsin, arrived at Downieville on Thursday last having crossed the Plains.
