THE UNDERSIGNED WOULD RESPECTa anounce to the citizens of Nevada and is and im vicinity. and the Traveling public, that he has & leased the well-known ans POPULAR HOTEL. known as the NATIONAL E XCHANGE, on Broad Street, Nevada, The Building is of Brick, three stories high, and A War Party on the Southern Route, An Overland traveler, writing to San Francisco Bulletin, gives the following account of a meeting with a war party of Apaches near Tueson : _ I stated in one of ye previous communications that an old Mexican had been shot by the . Apaches, near Taeson, and that some fifty or sixty tame Apaches and Mexicans had revenged hia death by slaughtering seven of the Apaches. Que hundred Apache warriors, on bearing the news, instantly started for Sonora, to avenge the killing of the seven, Well, they went to Sonora, and terribly avenged the death of their braves. They slew, without distinction, either of age or sex. But the most unpleasant part of this affair, to us, was that while passing between the Farewell and Tank (or Barnet) statious, at 9 o’cluck at night, we were surprised to find the savage warriors encamped in three ARRIVAL OF THE J.

Herald, writing from San Jose, under date of Nov, 27th, says: _ The earthquake was very sensibly felt in this city. Scarcely a brick building escaped more or less injury. Quite a number of citizens are now suffering from cold, caught by flying from their houses into the streets, hall dressed, at the time of the shock, In connection with the earthquake I may add, that yesterday evenin some parties who were traveling on the roa from here to New Almaden discovered, about two and a half miles from town, near a place called the Willows, three small fissures or openings iu the earth, of a circular form, em tting a considerable ay of steam, Hundreds of people visited the place to-day, and were astonished to sce the strange spectacle. It arises from the bowels of the earth, in a perfectly dry soil, The openings are about the size of the crown of a hat, and when a band is inserted in the opening it becomes moist, and in a few moments too hot to keep it there. The sides of the hole is covered over with a white layer, somewhat re;s*mbling alkali, Many are the conjectures as . to what they are, or what they may prove to be. Some anticipate a volcano, aud otders hot springs. The impression is that the openings were caused by tbe earthquake. They might pave beeu there before it, however, but not uoticed.

Later From Los ANGELES.—-We copy the following from a telegraphic dispatch to the Sacramento Bee, dated San Jose, Dec, Ist: The Los Angeles stage of the 28th ultimo, arrived here at balf past 11 o'clock, this forenoon, In regard to the Gila mines, the Los Angeles Star says: “They are represcuted by some as yielding as low as two dollars, and others put itas high as twenty dollars, per day to the man.’ It further says that gold is there, but whether in such abundance as to warrant the influx of a large number of people, is yet somewhat doubtful. The trialof Pancho Daniel for the murder of the late Sberiff Barton, in February, 1857, is attracting a large share of attention in Los Angeles. Various proceediugs were had in Court, and great difficulty found in getting a jury. Twenty-six jurors were excused out of fifty-six summoned, and bias was alleged on the part of the Sheriff in summoning the jury. Triors were appointed hy the Court, and the Coroner was called and the triors given into his care. They gave their verdict that the challenge was true. The Coroner was also challenged for bias, and bias found to exist. The Coroner resigned, and the Court appointed another, The case was finally transferred to Santa Barbara county. Mr. Stevens, of the overland mail company, who came from Fort Yuma, says the news from . the mines is not of an exciting character. He thinks a few men might do very well on the Gila, bat does not speak as to the extent of the miving ground.

And she bas reason, It would be well perbaps if all persons and communities would make their anniversaries occasions of recollection, thought, comparison, foreleast. Bue few bisturies are more suggestive, iia all these aspects, than that of Bostun. Just two bundred and twenty-eight years ago, i. e. on the 17th of September, 1630, the name of Boston was given to “the Trimouotaiue” on which the noble city now stands, with little ex. pectation of its future greatness, Shortly after, one of the chroniclers of the time speaks of . carried forth to their graves. in a strange laud, “the town of Boston as well and advantageous. . Which they had come so far te fill, ly situated, the neck (or Lreadth of land be. tween the marshes) in the rear being only half a quarter of mile wide, whereby it is easily defended from the wolves.” Que enactment of the Colonial Council in those early times was “‘to cut a roud some ten miles westward into the wil. derness, it being not likely that there ever would be And there is . that westward read, gradually produced through the last two centuries, till, in one form or oth . er, it has reached the Pacific; and here is Boston, with ite vast population, its bigh culture, its enormous opulence—in every respect, one of the great cities of the world! No wonder that it keeps the anniversaries which mark the periods of euch history development! Growixe OLp.—Chambers’ Edioburg Jour. nal bas the following oa Growing Old: “Yes, if women could only believe it, there is a wonderful beauty even in growing old. The charm of expression arising from softened temper or ripened intellect, often amply atones for the loss of form and coloring ; and consequently, to those who could never hoast of either of these latter, years give inuch more than they take away. A sensitive person often requires balfa Efetime to got thoroughly used to this corporeal machine, to attain a wholesome indifference both to its defects and perfections, . and to learn at last what nobody would acquire . from any teacher but experience, that it is the . mind alone which is of any consequence, that . with @ good temper, sincerity, and a moderate stock of brains—or even the two former only —any sort of body,can in time be made usefal, respectable and agreeable asa traveling dress for the soul.

Apaches, near Taeson, and that some fifty or sixty tame Apaches and Mexicans had revenged hia death by slaughtering seven of the Apaches. Que hundred Apache warriors, on bearing the news, instantly started for Sonora, to avenge the killing of the seven, Well, they went to Sonora, and terribly avenged the death of their braves. They slew, without distinction, either of age or sex. But the most unpleasant part of this affair, to us, was that while passing between the Farewell and Tank (or Barnet) statious, at 9 o’cluck at night, we were surprised to find the savage warriors encamped in three ARRIVAL OF THE J.

Herald, writing from San Jose, under date of Nov, 27th, says: _ The earthquake was very sensibly felt in this city. Scarcely a brick building escaped more or less injury. Quite a number of citizens are now suffering from cold, caught by flying from their houses into the streets, hall dressed, at the time of the shock, In connection with the earthquake I may add, that yesterday evenin some parties who were traveling on the roa from here to New Almaden discovered, about two and a half miles from town, near a place called the Willows, three small fissures or openings iu the earth, of a circular form, em tting a considerable ay of steam, Hundreds of people visited the place to-day, and were astonished to sce the strange spectacle. It arises from the bowels of the earth, in a perfectly dry soil, The openings are about the size of the crown of a hat, and when a band is inserted in the opening it becomes moist, and in a few moments too hot to keep it there. The sides of the hole is covered over with a white layer, somewhat re;s*mbling alkali, Many are the conjectures as . to what they are, or what they may prove to be. Some anticipate a volcano, aud otders hot springs. The impression is that the openings were caused by tbe earthquake. They might pave beeu there before it, however, but not uoticed.

Later From Los ANGELES.—-We copy the following from a telegraphic dispatch to the Sacramento Bee, dated San Jose, Dec, Ist: The Los Angeles stage of the 28th ultimo, arrived here at balf past 11 o'clock, this forenoon, In regard to the Gila mines, the Los Angeles Star says: “They are represcuted by some as yielding as low as two dollars, and others put itas high as twenty dollars, per day to the man.’ It further says that gold is there, but whether in such abundance as to warrant the influx of a large number of people, is yet somewhat doubtful. The trialof Pancho Daniel for the murder of the late Sberiff Barton, in February, 1857, is attracting a large share of attention in Los Angeles. Various proceediugs were had in Court, and great difficulty found in getting a jury. Twenty-six jurors were excused out of fifty-six summoned, and bias was alleged on the part of the Sheriff in summoning the jury. Triors were appointed hy the Court, and the Coroner was called and the triors given into his care. They gave their verdict that the challenge was true. The Coroner was also challenged for bias, and bias found to exist. The Coroner resigned, and the Court appointed another, The case was finally transferred to Santa Barbara county. Mr. Stevens, of the overland mail company, who came from Fort Yuma, says the news from . the mines is not of an exciting character. He thinks a few men might do very well on the Gila, bat does not speak as to the extent of the miving ground.
