OB PRINTINGNEATLY EXECUTED at this office—Corner of Pine and Broad sts. ‘Gevada . one of the richest mining districts ever dise . . not dangerous wound, History Misquoted. The California Express of Nov. 27th, in an article over the caption of “Why not confiscate ?’”’ uses the following laoguage : “It isa matter of history, tbat a large party in New England, during the war of 1812, were opposed to it, Not a mere handful, kut a powerful party, headed by euch men as Jobn Q, Adams, Josiah Quiney, and others.” We eboald like the Express to state what history contains this information, We had always supposed Jobn Quincy Adams an active aider of the war of 1812 ; and if we are not mistaken, he resigned bis seat in Congress ratber than follow the instructions of his constituents to oppose the war.— Hither the Express bas written on a subject it knows pothing about, or we have read history to no purpose. It strikes us as exceedingly strange, if John Quiney Adams was opposed to the . war, that he should be chosen by Mr. Madison as one of the parties tomake a treaty of peace at Ghent, in company with Mr. Clay, who was an eloquent supporter of the war, The trathis, John Quincy Adams was . pot a member of the Hartford Coavention, nor a supporter of any party that rendered aid and comfort to the enemies of bis country in 1812, or at any otber time in nis Jife. . On the contrary, he was an active partisan of the war, and did as much to sustain the Government in condacting it as any other . civilian except the gifted Clay.—[Sap Juan Presa, Division IN THE Episcopa Cuurch.— The Episcopal Recorder asserts that a “separation between the advocates and rejeetors . of sacramental Episcopacy seems immi. nent.’ Thisis owing to the assumption, by Bishhps Lay, Polk, Green and others, of “the absolute power of the Bishop, as the . divine representative, to govern his dioeese and alter its liturgy and government at bis pleasure.’’ In the exercise of his power, the Bishop in the various seceding States, with the exception of the diocese of North Carolina, have changed the liturgy, and . autborized the clergy to alter the service. Against this assumption of power, the Lawchurch Episcopalians seem determined to wage a vigorous and persistent warfare,— . (Presbyterian. Fossi, Remains Near Curnatowy, N. T. —W.M. Murray inferms tbe Territorial Enterprise that about two miles south-east of Dayton (Chinatown) there is a formation of sand-stone, on the southern edge of the coal fields, with thirteen prints or footmarks of an animal, whose species is now supposed to be extinct. The foot-prints measure . fourteen inches in length. Those who pretend to know say it resembles the track of alarge moose. The geological formation indicates that the prints were made more than a thousand years ago. Mr. Sterling, of that place, is having the marks excavated from their bed to be sent to the World’s Fair in London. Tax Burre County TaBLe Movuntain.— Recent prospecting bas demonstrated the long supposed fact that rich deposits of gold . are contained within the bosom of Table Mountain, near Cherokee Flat, and a very short time will now, beyond a doubt, open . covered in California, The great basin will be tapped in afew months, by the Table . Mountain Mining Company, when its immense richness will be fully known, The district thus opened is very extensive, and will consume years of toil before it can be worked out.—[Butte Record. ParnruL Accipent.—A man by the name . of Charles Davis shot himself severely at) the Big River Honse, Mendocino county, a . few days since. Davis was dealing with a/. ‘tiger,’’? when a dispute arose in reference to the “kerds,’’ He left the table and procured a revolver, which he cocked and put . in bis pantaloons’ pocket, and came back to . the table, and in sitting down the pistol . discharged itself, the ball taking effect in his thigh, and producing a painful, though Tur Camet.—Camels are now regularly employed in carrying salt from the springs . beyond Walker’s Lake to Virginia City, where it islargely used in reducing ores, Each animal carries a load of six hundred ponnds. Mis. Swert Away.—During the late high . water, the saw mill belonging to C. W. . Durkee, on the north fork of Trinity, was . entirely carried away by the flood. Probable lose,$2,500. 1 — Tue Recorder of Albany, New York, haa decided that the Mayor of the city bas a perfect right to enier any place of amusement in the city without paying, Democrat, . Rassell among the Yankees, Fhe London Times’ American correspone dent has latterly been sojourning with tbe Yankees, and writes as follows from Worcester Mass, And first, in regard to the probabilities of any social disturbances should the war continue, I would say that there is not the slightest probability of any such thing. I have seen no signs of such coming events anywhere—not even in New York, where the largest roving population is gathered. Least of all are there such signs in the manufacturing districts, On the contrary, here are to be seen the greatest evidences of thrift and prosperity. The large, well-filled baros. and comfortable farm-houses and well-stocked pastures, tell their owo story for the farmers. Thefmills (with the excep» tien of the cotton mills, which have either stopped or are running on short time) and the mechanics’ shops are ia full operation, giving constant employment to all the operatives ; and the shops of the country traders appear to be well stocked with goods and with purchasers, which is, perbaps, as ood a proof of prosperity ascaa be given. o all quarters I hear the same story of recent prostration and depression and of reviving prosperity. The funds in the savings banks, representing the accumulated millions of the working classes, are untouched, except as drawn vut in some few cases for investment in the new Government Loan. The rate of wages of the day laborer has been reduced, owing to the failure of employment in the large commercial towns, but there has been a corresponding redaction in the expense of living, so that it is not accompanied with suffering, One does not see here the unemployed men, the vacant shops, the handbills, aud the piles of goodse xposed for sale and beggiug purchasers at any price. that may be seen in any thoroughfare in New York, The enlistments, too, are going on througbout New England as fast as the Government can supply the men with arms, and put them iato serviee. The county of Worcester, from whieh I am writing, an agricultural eounty, with a population of 150,000, has two regiments at Washington, one in camp, almost under my window, and another about to be raised. ith all this, the farmers have not yet begun to enlist in earnest, having been occupied till now with their crops. The class of men going into the army from this part of the country is a superior material-—streng, hearty men, with intelligent minds, educated in the public schools, understanding the great principle involved, and, to a large exient, enlisting from a sense of duty. If the Government can command from the other sections of the country. material at all to be compared with that which it gets from the Pnritanio elements of New England, it may go into the next year’s campaign hopefully. Nor is it alone in men for the army that New England has dope its duty by the wise institutions that have so much contributed to its prosperity during the long years of peace. The State of Massachusetts alone is said to have furnished 10,000 sailors for the navy which has beeu improvised for the blockade, and the naval State of Maine to have contributed its quota as well. In tbe time of trial the fishermen of these two State#@have been true to the Government that by its helping hand has assisted to sustain them in times past, They know by experience the importance of a great nationality, able to assert its power and defend its rights on the bigh seas as well as on land, and are not to be deluded by any nonsense about State rights iato an abandonment of their flag. BattLe or Witp-Cat.—An eastern correspondent of the Bulletin furnishes the . following: A dispatch from Knoxville, Tenn., to the New Orleans Picayune of the 25th aolt., makes mention of the battle of Wildcat, ia Kentucky. It represents that Zollicoffer commanded in person, that the retreat waa occasioned bysome misconception of orders and that the rebel loss was over 260 killed and wounded, Asgit is generally safe to estimate rebel losses at twice as much as admitted, it may be supposed that their lors was not lessthan 500. A deserter has since brought the information to Col. Garrard’s camp that one of Zollicoffer’s spies just before the battle, reported that the Unionists . had but 300 men under arms at Fort Wildcat. Zolly moved forward to the assault, but caught a Tartar. Reinforcements had come in und he was repulsed, whereupon he had the uolucky spy tied up and raw-hided for his supposed blander. A Great storm lately visited the coast of . Massachusetts, more severe than any known . since the destruction of Minot’s Ledge Lighthouse, in 1851. The tide in Boston harbor rose to an unexampled hight, floodIng all of the lower portion of the city, and during the gale the ship Maritana, from Hamburg, was driven upon the rocks, only fifteen miles below Boston and was totally wrecked, 24 lives being lost,
