SATURDAY EVENING, DEC. 29, 1860. New Yeans.—lIn order to give the employces of the DEmooRAT office an opportunity to enjoy themselves on New Years’ Day, we shal issue only two papers next week—on Thursday and Saturday evenings. Joun Beit. on Secession.—A Tennessee paper states that Joon Bell bas prepared an elaborate address to the American people, on the present crisis, taking strong ground against the right of secession and the expediency of it, and demonstrating the ruin to the border States which must follow from the gulf States going out, Mr. Bell, it is understood, advises conciliatory measures, and shows how strong the united South will be agaiost any Republican foray, aud how Mr. Lineoln will be compelled to be conservative, Cuer Justice Taney.—The Baltimore Ixchange contradicts the rsport that Chief Justice Taney bad resigned, or was about to resign, in order that Mr, Buchanan might appoint bis successor. That paper says the report is absolutely without foundation, and that the Chief Justice bas never contemplated handing in his resignation to Mr. Buchanan, Judge Taney, though over eighty years old, enjoys better health now than he has done for some years past. A Fatse Rerort.—Some montbs ago it was reported that the Siamese Twins had split on the Presidential question—Chang being for Douglas and Eng for Breckinridge. The question was asked them yeeterday evening, by a gentleman of this place, as to whether the report was true, and they pronounced it false, They both supported Bell and Everett; bat were in New York on election day, aud not entitled to vote, Vermont.—An unsuccessful effort was lately made in the Legislature of Vermont to repeal the personal liberty law of that State. In the House there were 58 votes in favor of repeal and 125 opposed to repealing it, The Democrats have 25 members ia the Louse, all of whom favored the repeal of the law, and 33 Republicans voted with them. Tux New York News, of Nov, 20th, publishes a letter dated “Republic of South Carolina.” The writer, notwithstanding he considers his State out of the Union, availed bimeelf of Uncle Sam’s mail arrangements to convey his letter to New York, Yona County Roaps.—A_ special meeting of the Board of Supervisors of Yuba county was to have been held yesterday, to take into consideration the propriety of purchasing the several turnpike roads in the county, and putting them in charge of & special agent, Tox Great Foor Race between Forbes and the native Californian, Selaya came off at the San Jose course last Thursday. The distance run was one hundred yards, and Selaya came out fifteon feet ahead. The Spaniards bet heavily on Selaya, while Forbes was backed by the Americans. Anotuer Pony arrived at Placerville yesterday morning, with dates from St. Louis to the 11th inst. Mr, Cobb, it appears, has resigned bis position as Secretary of the Treasury, and Mr. Holt is spoken of as his successor. Otherwise the intelligence is not important. A Doernisr Convicren,—Thomas Armstrong has been convicted in Alabamn of sending a challenge to fight a duel. The penalty is two years imprisonment in the Penitentiary. A new trial, however, bas been granted, Roppery.—Maria Escobar, a Spanish woman, was robbed of $2,500 by one Wm, HaJey, who left for New York on the steamer Sonora. A dispatch bas been sent io New York, by Pooy Express, for his arrest, Tae Territorial Enterprise thinks the citizens of Virginia City should take such action, immediately, as would insure their incorporation asa city by the Legislature of Utah, Kuuxp.—Daniel T. Bird, & carpenter, fell from the roof ofa buildiag, at San Francisco, on Thursday last, and was killed. S. H. Chase and the U. 8. Senatorship. In yesterday morning’s Journal is an article in regard to the supposed position of Mr. Chase, on the nomination of aU. 8. Senator, which in some respects does that gentleman injustice. Mr. Chase may vote for Gen. Denver in caucus, for aught we the view of uniting again the Douglas and Breckinridge wings of the party; for to our certain knowledge he is opposed to any such fusion, He will favor the policy of the Donglas members going into caucus and making a nomivation without reference to the wishes of the members who supported either Breckinridge or Lincoln, and if possible, elect the nominee, ifnot, to let the . By taking . election go over another year, this course they will be just as likely to elect their candidate as they would be if they made a nomination with the view of suiting two or three members of the oppogite parties, It has been stated in some of the papers, that, in case Denver was nominated, two or three Breckivridge members would allow him to be elected, either by absenting themselves from the joint convention, or by voting directly for bimif necessary. WSether this is true or not, it should have no in-. fluence upon the Douglas members, for no doubt either of the other gentlemen whose names bave been mentioned in connection with the Senatoiship will have as many . oburg has also been arrested at Stockton, . payy proper, $10,163,477; for the marine c 3 : . Navy proper, yiv,ibe, ’ friends as Denver among the opposite parties, and are just.as likely to be elected if . have sifted out the following theory of tbe nominated. Gen. Denver is not our first choice for Senator, and we have three pretty serious objections to his election, But in one re. spect great injustice has been done him: he has been charged with having supported . Douglas merely because he was the regular . nominee of the Democratic party, while be . disagreed with him in principle. This, we . think, is @ mistake. In his letter, announ. cing his intentiou to support Douglas, Gen. Denver advocated the pon-intervention . platform of the Democratic party, upon which Douglas was nominated, and we have no reason to believe that he would repudiate this doctrine if elected to the U, 5. . Senate, So far as 0 union of the two wings of the Democratic party is concerned, there is not the least prospect of any arrangement of . the kind being effected. In the contest for State officers next year, there isevery prob . ability that the Douglas, Breckinridge and . Republican parties will each run a ticket, and if any of those who voted for either . Breckinridge or Lincoln at the last election are disposed to support the Douglas ticket next year, we shall be happy to have them do so; but we would not have the party surrender its priociplesin order to gain converts, Tue Carrrves.—The Portland Advertiser is reliably informed that arrangements have been made by the commanding officer at Fort Walla Walla, and the Indian agent, . Mr. Cain, for the immediate recovery of the children captured by the Indians in the late massacre at Salmon Falls, which it is believed, will be successful, if they are still . alive. = Lerrers ror tHE Pacuic Coast.—The . New York Postmaster has issued the fol. lowing order : “Notice is hereby given that from and after this date, all letters received at this . oflice for California, Oregon and Washing: . ton Territory, within five days atter the . cere know, but if he does so it will not be with . Bow Empress left Paris on the 14th of November for Scotland. The Paris correspondent of the London News says: The Emperor escorted her to the Northern Railway Station. Her Majesty is accompanic incess d’Essling and Madam de Sauley and her equerries, Baron de Pierres and the Marquis de Lagrange. She is going direct to a country house in Scotland belonging to the . Duches of Hamilton, and desires to travel in the strictest incognito. She will be absent from . France for several weeks, For reasons with which I am unacquainted, the Government evening journals received orders not to speak of her departure. and it is only mentioned by the Presse. The London Times thus notices the move. ments of the distinguisbed traveler: Her Majesty, traveling in the strictest incog. nitoas part of the family of the Marquis la . Grange, crossed the channel on Wednesday in . the ordinary packet boat Alliance, and proceeded to London in the sameevening. From London bridge station she and her suit went in . common street cabs to Claridge’s Hotel in Brook . street, and it was not until they had been for some time in the hotel that her Majesty’s rank was known. The Empress went out on foot early yesterday morning, and made several purchases in . the neighborhood of the hotel. In the after/ noon she and her suit engaged some carriages . from a neighboring livery stable, and visited . the Crystal Palace. . Francisco police bave arrested a man named . Marion Martin, charged with the murder of . . the Jobnson family; and a man named Hin{as an accessory after the fact. The police } murder: . It seems that Cook, the murdered man, had . been at work for one Marion, a milkman, in . the neighborhood of Johnson's; that Cook had . been hired by Marion at $25 per month, but Marion could not or would not pay him for his services; that Marion went into town (San Francisco) on the day of the murder, to get money; that he told Cook, on his return, that he could not pay him; that sharp words were exchanged, and that Cook threatened to sue him, and that Marion seized the ax in the possession of Cook and killed him with it; that the daughter of Johnson saw the murder, and fled to the house to tell her mother; that the murderer followed her and killed her and her mother, and then set the house on fire to conceal his crnne, Tue Srorm in THe Movunrains.—A dispatch from Placerville, of the 27th inst., to the Union, says: From persons coming in from the mountains to-day we learn additional particulars of the late storm. Great damage has been done at several of the stations. Several large new barns have been crushed by the great weight of snow. All a Visir ov Tur Frenco Emrress to Soor. taxp.—Foreign papers state that the French . The Baltimore Tux Loxe Mountain Murper.—The San . the fine out buildings at Crippen’s station were demolished. Such was the weight of the snow on the trees that hundreds are in places completely trimmed of their limbs, they coming down with a crash and carrying the mountain . telegraph line tothe ground in many places— a thing unavoidable. Parties are out repairing and it is expected that by noon to-morrow it will be at work. Snow, at the Junction House sixteen miles east of this city, is nearly six feet deep. Pack trains are arriving and departing, however. Wiv not Rervuprare.—The Columbia (S. C.) Guardian of Noy, 21st, says: “There have been sundry paragraphs going the rounds of the papers, about a meeting of lawyers, said to have been held in this city, at which the members of the profession had agreed not to receive notes from the North against our citizens for collection. No such meeting has been held; repudiation of our just debts, or the placing of any unnecessary obstacle in the way of their collection, is not thought of by either our banking institutions or any class of our citizens. Tremesear TIN Minus.—These mines seem to be far more extensive than was at first supysed, One of the spurs of the tin range has ately been surveyed and located with school warrants, by John Temple, Esq., of this city, to the extent of several miles, by diagonal meas. urement along the “backbone” of the mountain. . The tin range of the Temescal is now entirely . sailing of California steamers (except such . as are addressed ‘via Panama’) will be sent . by the Overland route, by the way of St. . Louis.”’ Tus Sacramento and Shasta stages, go. ing each way, now lay over night at Teba. ma, This causes the trip between the two . places to oceupy two days instead of ove, . as heretofore, Tue Call says: It is now pretty generally understood in political circles that Gover. nor Downey is fairly in the field asa candi. date for the United States Sonate. Leorurgs IN SACRAMENTO.—Gen. Shields, Nathan Porter, Esq., Rev. T. Starr King, Rev. . 8. B. Bell and Rey. J. H. Benton lecture before the Sacramento Library Association during the . ensuing season. Mux100.—The Alta has been informed that, . on the 23d of November, the city of Mexico was . besieged by the Liberal at'f No further par. ticulars relative thereto have transpired. A Larexr Frsip.—Judge Currey has commenced fencing his large tract of land on Putah . creek. He designs inclosing three thousand . acres this winter. . gus, that the ditch troubles in Tuolumne coun. ty which have for several months past caused . Serious loss to ditch owners and miners have at last been settled—the old Compan ‘ 10 per cent. on the original $60. rangement was effect $60,000. “This arin the hands of two of our most wealthy fellow citizens, and if they undertake their development, it will be accomplished without hindrance from lack of capital, which has crippled so mony other mining enterprises.—[Los Angeles Star. ORES THAT WILL Pay.—It is now satisfac. torily ascertained that silver ore yielding no . more than $75 to the tun, and gold-bearing rock, giving $30, will pay the cost of reduction on the spot, and leave such a margin for profits as will command all the capital requisite to work them on an unlimited scale. There are millions of tuns of that degree of richness in Washoe which it will take centuries to exhaust to an inconvenient depth.
