THURSDAY EVENING, DEC. 6, 1860. Pe ia) ee Poxicy of LINcoLN’s ADMINISTRATION A Republican demoustration was, held at Springfield, Illinois, November 20th in bonor of Lincolo’s election. Lincoln refased to speak himself, bat Senater Trumbull spoke at some leagth, and his remarks were understood to foreshadow. the policy of Liacoln’s administration,, The speech was telegrapbed in full to the Sacramento, Union. The policy indicated is rather of a conservative character, and will no doubt be acceptible to a large majority of the western Republicans, but oot so with the more rabid Republicans of the east, who constitute the backbone of the party, and regard opposition to slavery as the chief end and aim of thefr party organization, The speech was evidently intended to conciliate all shades of opinion among the Republicans, and at the same time keep the South quiet, Lincoln himself is known to be in favor of supporting the fugitive slave law; but this subject was not mentioned in Trumball’s epeech, for the reason that he could say nothing on the subject that would euit all parties. REVOWTION IN SonornA,—By the overland mail dates have been received from Tucson, Arizona, to November 26th. The leaders of the revolutionary party in Souora were at Tucson, negotiating for arms, amunition and money, The bave adopted a conatitution fora new government, and declared Sonora free and independent of Mexico. The constitution guarantees freedom of the press and religious toleration. Don Remi-' jio Rivera bas declared for the new government, The people of Arizona sympathise with the revolutionary party, and prominent Americans of military experience have coneulted with Rivera to carry ont the plan of the new government, Important From Bosorg.—The last Pony Express brings important intelligence from Kurape. Victor Emanual has formally accepted the throne of Naples, and Garibaldi, having accomplished tis mission, bas resigned the Dictatorship and retired to his island home, The Pupal army has been disbanded, and the Pope has left only a guard of 8,000 men. With the exception of a mall territory left to the Pope, and the province of Venitia, Italy is now united under ene government, and the Italians have chosen Victor Emanuel for their king. His subjects must number over twenty millions of people, and if he succeeds in consolidating his power, Italy will take raak among the great powers of Eurepe. Joun Cann, convicted at Carson City of the murder of Cherry, was hung last Friday, if accordance with the sentence of the U. 5. Court. We have seen a copy of bis “confession’’ printed at the Silver’ Age office and written oot by D. B, Milne, from which it appears that Carr was a hardened villain aod had been guilty of almost every crime known to the laws, It appears that the name “Joho Carr,’”’ by which he is kaown, is only an alias, but he does not give his true name, nor the place of his nativity. Gnanp Lanceny.—James O’Brien, a constable of La Porte township, Sierra county, was caught in the act of stealing a keg of Iquor, on the night of November 28th. His premises were afterwards searched, and a large quantity of goods, which had been missed from the same store, were found under the floor of his cabin. O’Brien was committed to the Donieville jail on a charge of grand larceny, ——— Conviornp.—Wm. Price was tried lest Monday in the Sacramento District Court, for the marder of Robert Pool, and found guilty of murder in the first degree. The sentence was postponed until Friday, the 14th inst., to allow the defendant’s counsel to present the proper papers for a motion in arrest of judgment.

Tne mail steamer Uncle Sam arrived at, San Francisco at two o'clock this morning. . MORE DIFFICULTIES IN KANSA Among the news item terior by the threat of the outlaws, “nosiame a been ordered to the Kansas border, with directions. to, exterminate Montgomery’s band. Phe cause oi this-fresb outbreak in Kaasasbas not trans; Latterly the Goveroment SRI been engaged in driving the settlers in southern Kansas from what is known as the “Cherokee ,Neuteal Ground,” burning their eabins, etoy and it is quite probable that the “‘outlaws”’ are the settlers whose improvements have been despoiled, They would not be likely to have a very high regard for the’ U. 8, officials, and the report that the latter’ have been frightened out of the Territory may be well founded, Similar difficulties were formerly of frequent Secbtrence on the frontier settlementa, the pioneers being under the necessity of fighting the Indians on the one band, and contending against the government on the other. Right or wrong, the pioneers will encroach upon the huntiog grounds of the red man. They never can be made to believe it just that the land which, devoted to agriculture, would support a hundred thousand people, should be allowed to remain a waste in order that it may afford a precarious subsistence to a few hundred savages who live by the chase, The late burning of settlers cabins by the government troops in Kansas, is the first instance of the kind that has occurred for twenty years. The custom bad fallen into disuse, and we bad supposed that the government, seeing the impossibility of arresting the progress of western settlements, had abandoned the barbarous policy. But it seems the custom has been revived by the present administration, and with the revival of the custom, comes a renewal of border difficulties, If this should prove to be the origin of the present outbreak in southern Kansas, the govveroment will not find ita very easy matter to “exterminate’’ the “‘outlaws.’’ ‘Arrempt To Break Jatt.—Two prisoners named Garcia and Davis, confined in the Yreka jail, attempted to escape on the evening of Nov. 24th. Garcia saatched a pistol from the hand of the jailor, Mr. Reid, and struck him several blows on the head, but by the assistance of another prisoner, who was confined for a petty offense, Garcia and Davis were floally overpowered and locked up in their cella. Reid was terribly beaten about the head, and at last accounts was lying in acritical condition, One of tho wounds, and the severest, appears to have been made by the cock of the pistol, and may have injured bis ekull. Assassinatep,—Oao Saturday evening, November 24th, Mr. L. D. Helm, of Salt Point township, Sonoma county, was shot dead by come unkuown person while sitting in front of his honse, in company with two other men, The ball struck his right arm and lodged in his breast; he exclaimed, “I am shot,’ and tell dead. Mr. Geo. Currin, one of the men with Mr. Ifelm at the time, states that the weapon used waa a rifle, and that he saw the smoke rise in the bushes, about fifty yards from the house, immediately after the murdered man fell, Every means are being used to ferret out the murderer. Sacramento River Roap.—This road, designed to open communication between Yreka and the Sacramento Valley, is now being pusbed energetically towards completion. Mr. Stone, the superintendent, informs the Yreka Uniou that all the heavier grading is compteted, and that there remains only about fifteen miles to flnish, and . this distance, for the most part of very easy grades, Paciric Raitroap,—A letter published in ve a lengthy des¢ription artz mill, regently ered the Washoe . aod . ny, under the supervisier Almarin Bi Paul. Our readers will remember that Mr, Paal left bere for Washoe, in April last, on bebalf of a company of San Franciseo capitalists, to examine that eountry. His report being favorable, machinery was ordered, and in “pixty “days the Devil’s Gate mill, at Silver City, was running, being the first steam quartz mill erect. ed in Washoe. Being favorably impressed with the results of this mill, the company ordered, and soon had under way, the mai chinery for the big mill now jest started. This mill was bailtin ninety.days, aod an opinion may be formed of the immense natare of the company’s works by the follow. ing description : The grounds on which the mill is situated is 500 feet front by 300 in wi all used for mill, . furnaces, buildings, stables, &c. The size of the mill is—110 feet long by 75 in width, 18 feet high to the eaves and contains 100,000 feet of umber. Ev nn germ in the building is independent of each other. ‘To better judge of its size we will five each department separate, Battery building 25x75; quartz room 20x75; amalgamating room 40x50; cleaning up room 15x20; o— room 16x15; assaying room 15x15. ‘The mill contains eight of How. land’s Rotary Batteries, eight stamps each, in all sixty-four. When all in, it will contain forty-eight amalgamating pans, Knox Patent. The engine is of sixty horse power. The ma . chinery was built by Howland, Angel & King, . Miner's Foundry, San Francisco. . The material is taken from the batteries for amalgamation, by cars and railways. The metal will be turned out only in bars, The necessary machinery requisite for cleansing, separating and retorting the metals, contain 120 tons of iron, brought over the Nevadas at an expense of 8, 10, 12 and 16 cents per pound. The expense of such mammoth operations here, may be inferred from the fact that the Company have expended between 25,000 and 30,000 dollars for freight alone. Employment has been given to about fifty men per day. At one time one hundred men were engaged day and night on the machinery. The expenditure of this company with ee complete as designed, furnaces, &c., will be about $200,000. We hope soon to hear favorable reports of the operations of this mill.

We have also examined the hospital, and find the hall an@'lodging tooms, and especially the culinary department, kept cleanly. The patients, nambering twenty-four, are generally provided with the eare and attention deemed necessary in such establishments. In the lodging departments there are two rooms each containing 13 beds, and but one single room. We would recommend to the Supervisors as necessary for the proper eare of the patients, that four well ventilated single bed rooms be added for the accommodation of such as it would be improper to lodge in the sameroom witha dozen others. ‘The practice of keeping the rooms in darkness. after 8 o’clock P. M., is believed to cause great inconvenience, and there seems to be at times a lack ofhelp to assist such patients as are entirely helpless. We have also examined the Jail and Court House, and find them in very good condition, with these exceptions: One of the cells in the jail requires some repairs in the stone work of the floor and'wall. ‘The jury room wants two more benches, one dozen pairs of blankets and one dozen pillows, for the accommodation of . the jurors. We have also examined tae books and papers in the Clerk’s office, and we find the books well kept and great pains seem to have been taken with them by the Clerk.

Many of the citizens of the proposed new county reside a hundred and forty miles from the seat of justice of their respective counties.
