Rei TAN 228. 8 1, ES Arremrtep Rossery.—The cabin of Charles Manning, who lives at Wood’s Ravine, was broken open list Wednesday, while he was absent in town,-for the purpose of robbery. The burglar had pulled the clothes off a bed, and evidently examined them carefully; he had also exerted his muscles considerably in turning over a large stone and digging up the ground around the fire-place, but luckily he found nothing of value, although he had dug very hear some svecimens ,which were worth about $150. Mr. Manning lost $1,600 by the failure of Adams & Co., which was deposited with that firm, and a few months after had $800 stolen which was buried about a hundred yards from his cabin. He is supposed to have a censiderable quantity of money, but sinee his losses, he keeps it where thieves will not be likely to find it. Comp Wratuen.—During the past week the weather has been unusually cold in this section—colder, we belleve, than has before been experienced since the winter of 53-4, A cold northerly wind commenced blowing on Wednesday night, which continued two days, and About ten inches of snow fell on Saturday and Sunday nights. The ditches throughout the county are frozen up, and mining operations have been mostly suspended for the ‘present. We learn that the snow is much deeper in the mountains above than at this place. At daylight yesterday morning, we should judge the thermometer stood below zero, but the sun came out in the morning and much of the snow was melted during the day. eg a ne ett Suppen Deata.—A man named Johan Givney, died suddenly at the hospital last Saturday of consumption, He has resided at Nevada for some months past, and generally worked about the hotels and restaurants. For a day or two previous to his death he had taken his meals at the Antelope Restaurant. After eating bis dinner on Saturday, he beéatie so weak that he was not able to leave, and was conveyed to the hospital, where he died in about an hour. He had been suffering with consumption for some time, and was scarcely able to walk when he entered the restaurant. We are informed that he has a family in San Francisco, Accipent.—James Brown, a workman at Tilley’s mill, was seriously injured on Saturday last. A track bad been constructed for conveying grain to the mill fromthe granary, which is some fifteen feet above the ground. At the end of the track blocks were fixed to stop the car. While carrying a load of wheat to the mill, Brown was riding on the car, and neglecting to check it in time, the wheels struck the block at the end of the track with such force ,as to throw the car from the track.— Brown struck on his shoulders, dislocating one of the bones, and he was otherwise badly bruised. County Hosritat.—A writer io the San Juan Press, contends that the people of the Ridge receive but little benefit from the indigent siek tax which is levied and collected equally in all parts of the county. This is in consequence of there being but one place in tne county where the indigent sick can be taken care of. He suggests asa mode of relief, that the county be divided into two or more “indigent sick districts,”’ and that the care of the indigent sick be provided for in the different districts as at present. . Court or Sessions.—The regular term of this Court commenced on Monday, A venire was issued to the Sheriff to summon a grand jury, returnable next Thureday. Tho cases of John Walsh, indicted at the last term for an assault with intent to c ommit murder, of Julia Moore, indicted for receiving stolen goods, were set for trial on Monday next. The Court adjourned until Thursday. District Courr.—The regular term of the District Court commences on Monday the 13th inst. A large amount of civil business has accumulated in this Court, in consequence of the last term being taken up almost exclusively in criminal trials. The present term, however, is a long one, and the business will doubtless all be disposed of. A Vavvuaste Horsz, belonging to the California Stage Co., while coming down the hill this side of Forest City, last Thursday morning, slipped and fell, breaking one of his lege. The horse was one of the best on the line, and worth $400 or $500 New Books, &o.—J. E. Hamlin has just received at his store, an extensive assortment of standard books; also, school books, stationery, toys for the hollidays, &c. Removat.—Messrs. Block & Co. have leased the store lately occupied by J. B. Newman & €o., next above their present place of business, and will remove into it in a few days. ArLantic Parers.—We are indebted to Geo. Welch, of the Pioneer Book Store, and to J. E. Hamlin, of Broad Street Book Store, for late Eastern papers, received by the mail steamer. CunisrMas Batu.—Mr. J. G. High gives a ball at the Eagle Hotel, Moore’s Flat, on Christmas Eve, Deo. 24th. — Overtany Marr.—The overland mail stage arrived at San Jose on Monday night. The news has been anticipated by the mail steamer. Recovenrina.—We are pleased to learn that Henry Shipley, who was dangerously injured recently in Oregon, by « fall froma horse, is slowly recovering. Strate Scoot Lawps.—There have been located during the past summer in San Joaquin county, 164,000 acres of the school lands belonging to the State. There is yot remaining 109. geres subject to location out of the pie oe granted by the General Government to e ° ‘The reported success of Douglas, received by ‘the overland mail, and published in our last issue, has been fully confirmed by the advices received by the mail steamer. In the Legislature, the friends of Douglas have a majority of five in each House, although the Democratic State ticket is defeated by from two to three thousand votes. The triumph of the Illinois Statesman, considering the terrible odds against which he had to contend, is certainly the most brilliant ever achieved in the political warfare of this country, and the rebuke which the sturay Democracy of the Sucker State have given the Administration, is the most humiliating. It is not alone a great triumph for Douglas, personally, but it isa triumph of the trwe Democratic dostrine so ably advocated by him during the Inst session of Congress. His suecess is a noble vindication of the independence of the Senate from Executive dictation. It is also a matter of congratulation that the gallant band of Representatives who stood together in vindication of the sovereignty of the people have Contral American Affairs. The late advices from the East, state that apprehensions are entertained that our government is likely to become embroiled with England and France in regard to Nicaragua. These fears it would seem are well founded. A dispatch from Washington, says it is well known in diplomatic cireles there that England and France have addressed a formal note to our government, announcing their determination to carry out the provisions ef the Cayton-BulThe Next Presidential Contest. Some months ago, a writer in the Charleston (S. C.) Mereury, expressed the opinion that the next Presidential contest would be between the anti-Lecompton Democrats aud the Republicans. The writer was a Southern man, but bad traveled extensively in the North, and closely observed the political feelings of the masses: The recent elections indicate thatthe writer’s surmises were correct, and they further indicate that Douglas and Seward will be the Presidenwer treaty, as interpreted by the British gov-. tial nominees of the two’ parties, ernment, and also to protect Monsieur Felix The brilliant victory of Douglas in Illinois, Belly, in the privileges conceded to him by Ni-. achieved as ié was upon true Democratic princaragua, for the purpose of constructing an ciples, and against a combination of all the isms inter-oceanic cana.

Federal patronage which was used with a lavish hand against them, was powerless to aecomplish their defeat. Tux News py tHE Srepnens.—We published an “Extra” last Thursday morning, containing the news received by the J. L. Stephens, in which some important mistakes occurred. It was stated in the’dispatch that New Jersey had gone largely Democratic, and that the Republicans of Illinois had elected their candidates in eight Congressional districts, which statements are incorrect, In New Jersey, three Republicans and two anti-Lecompton Democrats are elected to Congress, and in Illinois the Democrats have elected five Congressmen and the Republicans four. The dispatch was made up at San Francisco, and the mistakes occurred in telegraphing. We have made the necessary corrections in the news as published on our first page. The intelligence in regard to the working of the Atlantic Cable, had been received at New York some ten days previous to the sailing of ythe mail steamer. In regard to this matter the New York}Ji/erald says : “A despatch received in London from Valentia Bay, dated 20th ult., states that a few intelligible words had been received through the Atlantic telegraph cable from Newfoundland. The shares had, in consequence, advanced slightly. The Secretary of the company, in announcing the resumption of communication between the two continents, holds out no hopes that it will be permanent, as it is evident the wire is seriously damaged.”’ As no intelligible words had been received . through the eable since the 20th of October, the stock of the company had again declined. J& On the fourth page of our last issue, u . paragraph was published, entitled an “English . view of President Buchanan at the wash basin,”’ credited toa London paper. We had some . . accused of. and France, and any attempt to carry them out must and will be resisted by our government at whatever cost. The letter of Gen. Cass, in which he re-asserted the Monroe doctrine, waa no doubt called out on account of the Ousley treaty having just previously been made, and the note from the English and French governments was probably intended asa re-. joinder to Cass’ letter. Unless our government backs down from the Monroe doctrine, of which . there is no probability, or else England and . France relinquish all pretensions for interfering in the affairs of the American continent, it is not easy to ece how a serious difficulty is to be avoided. The New York Jerald, in commenting on the . menacing note sent by the English and French Ministers to our government, says : But it cannot be concealed that the time has Convention, and the miserable toadies who bave lavished such fulsome adulation upon our present “venerable Chief Magistrate,” will be the rising sun. With Douglas as the nominee, and a platform embodying the principles advocated by the anti-Lecompton Democrats at the last session of Congress, the Democracy may count on a certain victory in 1860. The 2,000 or 3,000 votes cast for the Administration ticket in Illinois, is perhaps a fair average of the strength of the Lecompton party in the North, and their number will be greatly diminished as the term of President Buchanan draws to aclose. These facts will become so apparent by the time the Charleston Convention meets, that few of the delegates will be disposed to endorse the Lecompton policy of the Administration, Seward is acknowledged to be the foremost man of his party, and his chances for the nomination bave been greatly increased by the success of the Republican ticket in New York. In a speech recently made by him at Rochester, he advocated the ultra doctrine enunciated by arrived when a practical solution must be had . Lincoln of Illinois, that the States must all beof the delicate subjects which surround this . Central American question. That solution may force the United States to the adoption of that aggrandizing policy which they are now falsely When upon t0 slight an excuse as the earrying out of a contract between M. Belly ; and other adventurers and a petty State of Cen. tral America, the combined fleets of France and England are crowded forward to menace us, it becomes a grave consideration whether our safety does not compel us at once to place our political and geographical borders ina state of defence. Menaced from abroad, the United States may Le forced to see that we should at once be possessed of the key to the . Gulf—Cuba; and that a protectorate, or even the annexation of Mexico, is necessary for our . more perfect security. Up to this day the United States do not own afoot of ground they did not purchase; but a combination of the despotie Powers of Europe against us may compel us to hasten our destiny, so as to present on the continent of North Ameriea an unbroken front to the attacks of our foes, — . “Laws oF Business For Bustxess Men.” —We weeks previously, published an American view of the same scene, as contrasted with some have received from Mesars. H. H. Bancroft & . Co., of San Francisco, a copy of the above enscenes said to have occurred at the court of . titled work, by Theophilus Parsons, Professor Berlin, designed to show the simplicity of republicanism and the puerilities of royalty. The . pronounced by competent judges to be the best . articles are very readable, if not instructive, . The Grass Valley National, of Saturday last, parades the “English view,’ in its editorial col. umng, and takes it for granted that the disgust . of the Englishman at the idea of the President . washing his face in a dirty basin, receives our sympathy. We can inform our sensative neighbor, that he ia altogether mistaken. Tad the . President washed his face in a duck pond, ond wiped it with his coat sleeve, it would hare been a matter of indifference to us. Meetina at San Jose.—A meeting of the citizens of Santa Clara county was held at San . Jose, on Thursday last, for the purpose of expressing the popular feeling, in reference to the action of the government agent in enjoining operations upon the quicksilver mine. A series of appropriate resolutions were adopted, and the authorities at Washington were requested to order the injunction granted by the U. 8. District Court to be removed, and that the company now in possession be permitted to pursue . their accustomed operations until the final determination of the proceedings at law investigating the title and right of property. The suspension of operations on the mine has thrown several hundred laborers out of employment, . and severely crippled the industrial energy of the county. The resolutions speak very highly of the liberality of the company who have for twelve years been working the mine. Execution or AN INpIAN.—Aa Indian named Loo You, convicted of murdering a Chinaman in Amador county, was executed at Jackson last Friday. He acknowledged that he had murdered the Chinaman, and stated that he was instigated to commit the crime by the Indian who testified against him, who agreed to take the Chinaman’s horse, sell him and divide the money. He complained that he had been badly treated by the .Indians, who did not assist him during his ggiel, had not visited him, and were not present to see him die. The execution was private, with the exception of two or three of the prisoner’s friends, the Sheriff's posse, and a few citizens, in all twenty-six persons, Democratic Parer at SACRAMENTO.—Meassrs. A. R. Jackson & Co. have issued a prospectus for the publication of an anti-Lecompton Democratic paper at Sacramento. The first number will be issued as soon as proper encouragement is received to warrant the undertaking, and the proprietors assure their friends that if they commence the paper, its permanency will be put beyond a peradventure. It will be the size of the Union. We trust the proprietors may be succeseful in their undertaking. Covtp nor AcreE.—The Jury in the case of Hodges vs. Dr. Cooper, for alleged mal-practice, at San Francisco, could not agree on a verdict, and after being out a day or two, were discharged. They stood six for the plaintiff and six for the defendant. . of law in the University at Cambridge. It is and most comprehensive treatise on the law of . contracts, that has ever yct been presented in . the english language. Being designed more particularly for the use of business men, it is free from th3 usual technicalities of the law books, and should be studied by every man de. sirous of becoming familiar with the laws ap. pertaining to his own business. The work is . for eale at Hamlin’s book store, Broad street, . Nevada. Tuk Presipent’s Mrssage.—The overland . mail companies, are making preparations to express the President’s message through from St. Louis to California in the shortest possible time. The Butterfield Co. have signified thei~ intention of bringing it through in twelve days, and the contractors on the central route in fifteen days. Should the Butterfield Co. succeed according to their expectations, the message will reach California about the 19thinst. Congress met on the 6th, andthe message was doubtless published in St, Louis the next morning. Important From Mexico.—The Tehuantepec correspondent of the Alta, writing Nov. 18th, says that a special courier had arrived that morniug from Oaxaca, bringing intelligence that two thousand Spanish troops had been landed at Tampico, from four vessels, They are designed to operate in conjunction with the Priest party, to put down the Liberals. Great excitement prevailed at Tehuantepec, on the reception of the news. A Liper Case.—W. H. Newell and H. Has. kins, who were indicted some time since for publishing a libel on David Jobson, in the S. F. Times, were tried in the San Francisce Court of Sessions last Friday. The jury were unable to agree on a verdict. They stood nine for cgnviction and three for acquittal. ENLarcep.—The San Francisco Morning Call made its appearance last week in a new dress and considerably enlarged. The Call is among the best and by far “the eheapest daily paper published in the State. Rerrigved.—The Governor has granted a reprieve in the case of Samuel Steventon, who was sentenced to be hung at Jackson last Friday. He was convicted of murdering a man named Hastetter. Wwe 1n Sonoma.—Gen. M. G. Vallejo, it is said, has obtained over 6,000 gallons of wine from his vineyard, this season. He has also extended it, and anticipates raising nearly 50,000 gallons next year. Haty a Miniion.—There is now over halfa million of dollars in the State Treasury. A considerable portion of this amount will be required to pay the coupons on the funded debt of the State, due on the first of January. —— Deatu o¥ MouLton.—Benj. F.

Humboldt Zimes, has the following in regard to come citber slave or free, and that the slavery agitation must be kept up until one of these results was accomplished, This doctrine will suit the radical Abolitionists, but we believe will be found to be unpalatable to a great portion of the more moderate Repulicans. With sucha candidate, they cannot hope to carry more than four or five of the Northern States, Lyncuine at Cotumpia.—A man named Parrott, was hanged by the people of Columbia, on Thursday, on a charge of shooting Constable Leary of that place. During the water celebration on the Monday evening previous, Leary attempted to arrest two suspicious characters, named Wallace and Parrott, when one of them drew a pistol and shot him dead. This was while the wife and daughter of the murdered man were dancing ata ball. Some person rushed into the bull room and loudly announced the murder, when the daughter fainted and fell on the floor. The ball immediately broke up, and the whole population turned out in pursuit of the murderers. Wallace was wounded in the thigh by a shot from a pistol, and arrested that evening, and Parrott was taken shortly after. It seeras that Wallace acknowledged himself to be a robber, and stated that Parrott shot Leary, and upon this testimony, the latter was taken from the authorities andhung by the people. Wallace was returned to jail, and three more of the same gang have been arrested. Tue InptAN SkeLeron.—On our first page will be found a paragraph from the Trinity Journal, giving a description of a remarkable specimen of humanity recently discovered The the same “living skeleton” : We are informed by Gen. Kibbe that he has among his prisoners an Indian which is the most remarkable curiosity he has ever observed among the freaks of nature. He is from sixteen to twenty years of age, and is nothing more nor less than a living skeleton. The Indians say he has always enjoyed good health, and has never had any flesh on his bones, The General says an Indian’s hide stretched overa . skeleton would be a perfect picture of this natural curiosity, Loss or A WuaLer.—The U. 8. ship Vandalia, which arrived at San Francisco last week, reports that while at sea on the 2lst Nov., she spoke the whaling barque Italy, ef Greenport, Babcock, master, hove-to, her captain came on board, stated the loss of the whaling barque, Raja, with her captain, first officer, and twelve men, in a heavy snow storm on Tchantar Island Ochotsk Sea, on the 17th of June last.

The Commissioner committed the acoused to prison, and fixed the bail at $200. Or the new method of saving gold from quartz introduced by Judge Chambers, and spoken of by us last week as having been completely successful, at the Bay State Mill, on American Bar, we have further corroborative information, It is no humbug, and is destined to work a great revolution in quartz mining. “The good time coming” has almost arrived.— Placer Herald. Tux Survivors or tae Witp Wave.—Some months ago, news was received of the wreck of the clipper ship Wild Wave, on the 4th of March last, on the Island of Oneo, in the South Pacific, some thirty odd men being left on that small uninhabited Island. The survivors were all saved by by the U.S. ship Vandalia, which arrived at San Francisco on Friday. On the 22d Aug., she took off thirty-three persons from Oneo, and on the 25th took off three from Pitcairn’s Island—these three having crossed over to that Island with the captain. A Harp Case.—lIt is said that the steamer Washington, which left New York Nov. 7th, bound for San Juan del Norte, in Nicaragua, had some four hundred passengers on board, all of whom expected to meet the Hermann at San Juan del Sur, and by this vessel come to San Franeisco, being ticketed through from New York by the agents of the California, European and New York Steamship Company.

The supposition that the Seontnryed’ of the Treasury, if vacated, will be offered to Mr. Erastus — ing, is generally entertained in political circles. ne Douglas men of this city intend to make a demonstration to-morrow night in celebration of the Little Giant’s vicry. *onmcawe in Intanots.—The newspapers from Cross county, Illinois, mention a destructive hurricane which passed over that county on the 5th of October.

PoruLATION OF PHILADELPHIA.—It is computed by The North American that Philadelphia has « population of between 610,000 and 625,000, and that it increases, and has increased since 1850, at about the rate of five per cent per annum, calculated upon the actual number at the commencement of each year. Ricuts AND WRONGS OF TRAVRLING NrGrogs.—The Supreme Court of Michigan has deeided that the proprietors of a steamboat are not obliged to give a colored person a cabin passage, if such be the regulations of the boats. The inference from the Judge’s opinion is, that the captain has no right to refuse a negro passage generally—on deck. Lyxcuxo A CriprLe.—A brutal outrage was perpetrated near Pleasant Hill, Nerth Carolina, on the 11th of Oct. A correspondent of the Petersburg Express gives the following particulars: Two men, in human shape, but possessing the mind of a demon, went to the house ofa man named Simon Ellis, called him out, and asked him if he did not wish to take a drink. Ellis went out to meet them, when they seized him and carried him off to the woods, and, under coyer of night, whipped him most unmercifully. They took off his shirt and whipped his bare back, lacerating the flesh in a frightful manner.

In the case alluded to, the defendant, like many other scoundrels who fail to get their deserts, had deserted his wile, and played bachelor lover to a German girl. Failing to marry, according to promise, she sued him, and he had the cowardly meanness to crawl off by saying that, as he had a wife already, his promise was an empty lie. thought otherwise, and gave $5,000 damages, was taken, but the General Term affirmed the judgment, Married men who desert their wives for more attractive faces, will do well to remember this case.

Latrer FROM Gov, Wisk.—Gov. Wise, of Virginia, ina letter responding to an invitation to visit Hlinois and address the Democracy, says: Every impulse prompts me torush to your side. Your position is a grand one, and, in some frespects, unexam pled. In the face ot doubt and distrust attempted to be thrown upon your Democracy and its gallant leader, by the pretext of pretenders that you were giving aid and comfort to the arch enemy of our country’s peace and safety and our party integrity, I see you standing alone, isolated by a tyrannical proscription, which wonld, alike foolishly and wickedly, lop off one of the most vigorous limbs of National Democracy—the limb of glorious Illinois! I see you, in spite of this imputation, firmly fronting the foe, and battling manfully to maintain consérvative nationality against embittered “and implacable sectionalism—Constitutional rights, operating proprio vigore, and every way warring against all unjust Federal or Territorial legislation.

Of course it will be irrespective of parties, for, unfortunately, we have no parties left. Ifsuch a meeting should be gotten up, it would be a glorious one, for Douglas’ course, since the unfortunate misstep of destroying the Missouri.

The Expositor thinks, froma specimen of the season’s labor of these men, that thetr calculation is a very liberal one. On the other hand there are advices from other quarters of a contradictory character, but as nobody come back with a large ‘‘pile,” it is safe to believe the first statement for the present, ‘ ‘ i) STANTON BUCKNER, Attorney and Counsellor at Law.

Rei TAN 228. 8 1, ES Arremrtep Rossery.—The cabin of Charles Manning, who lives at Wood’s Ravine, was broken open list Wednesday, while he was absent in town,-for the purpose of robbery. The burglar had pulled the clothes off a bed, and evidently examined them carefully; he had also exerted his muscles considerably in turning over a large stone and digging up the ground around the fire-place, but luckily he found nothing of value, although he had dug very hear some svecimens ,which were worth about $150. Mr. Manning lost $1,600 by the failure of Adams & Co., which was deposited with that firm, and a few months after had $800 stolen which was buried about a hundred yards from his cabin. He is supposed to have a censiderable quantity of money, but sinee his losses, he keeps it where thieves will not be likely to find it. Comp Wratuen.—During the past week the weather has been unusually cold in this section—colder, we belleve, than has before been experienced since the winter of 53-4, A cold northerly wind commenced blowing on Wednesday night, which continued two days, and About ten inches of snow fell on Saturday and Sunday nights. The ditches throughout the county are frozen up, and mining operations have been mostly suspended for the ‘present. We learn that the snow is much deeper in the mountains above than at this place. At daylight yesterday morning, we should judge the thermometer stood below zero, but the sun came out in the morning and much of the snow was melted during the day. eg a ne ett Suppen Deata.—A man named Johan Givney, died suddenly at the hospital last Saturday of consumption, He has resided at Nevada for some months past, and generally worked about the hotels and restaurants. For a day or two previous to his death he had taken his meals at the Antelope Restaurant. After eating bis dinner on Saturday, he beéatie so weak that he was not able to leave, and was conveyed to the hospital, where he died in about an hour. He had been suffering with consumption for some time, and was scarcely able to walk when he entered the restaurant. We are informed that he has a family in San Francisco, Accipent.—James Brown, a workman at Tilley’s mill, was seriously injured on Saturday last. A track bad been constructed for conveying grain to the mill fromthe granary, which is some fifteen feet above the ground. At the end of the track blocks were fixed to stop the car. While carrying a load of wheat to the mill, Brown was riding on the car, and neglecting to check it in time, the wheels struck the block at the end of the track with such force ,as to throw the car from the track.— Brown struck on his shoulders, dislocating one of the bones, and he was otherwise badly bruised. County Hosritat.—A writer io the San Juan Press, contends that the people of the Ridge receive but little benefit from the indigent siek tax which is levied and collected equally in all parts of the county. This is in consequence of there being but one place in tne county where the indigent sick can be taken care of. He suggests asa mode of relief, that the county be divided into two or more “indigent sick districts,”’ and that the care of the indigent sick be provided for in the different districts as at present. . Court or Sessions.—The regular term of this Court commenced on Monday, A venire was issued to the Sheriff to summon a grand jury, returnable next Thureday. Tho cases of John Walsh, indicted at the last term for an assault with intent to c ommit murder, of Julia Moore, indicted for receiving stolen goods, were set for trial on Monday next. The Court adjourned until Thursday. District Courr.—The regular term of the District Court commences on Monday the 13th inst. A large amount of civil business has accumulated in this Court, in consequence of the last term being taken up almost exclusively in criminal trials. The present term, however, is a long one, and the business will doubtless all be disposed of. A Vavvuaste Horsz, belonging to the California Stage Co., while coming down the hill this side of Forest City, last Thursday morning, slipped and fell, breaking one of his lege.

Recovenrina.—We are pleased to learn that Henry Shipley, who was dangerously injured recently in Oregon, by « fall froma horse, is slowly recovering. Strate Scoot Lawps.—There have been located during the past summer in San Joaquin county, 164,000 acres of the school lands belonging to the State. There is yot remaining 109. geres subject to location out of the pie oe granted by the General Government to e ° ‘The reported success of Douglas, received by ‘the overland mail, and published in our last issue, has been fully confirmed by the advices received by the mail steamer. In the Legislature, the friends of Douglas have a majority of five in each House, although the Democratic State ticket is defeated by from two to three thousand votes. The triumph of the Illinois Statesman, considering the terrible odds against which he had to contend, is certainly the most brilliant ever achieved in the political warfare of this country, and the rebuke which the sturay Democracy of the Sucker State have given the Administration, is the most humiliating. It is not alone a great triumph for Douglas, personally, but it isa triumph of the trwe Democratic dostrine so ably advocated by him during the Inst session of Congress. His suecess is a noble vindication of the independence of the Senate from Executive dictation. It is also a matter of congratulation that the gallant band of Representatives who stood together in vindication of the sovereignty of the people have Contral American Affairs. The late advices from the East, state that apprehensions are entertained that our government is likely to become embroiled with England and France in regard to Nicaragua. These fears it would seem are well founded. A dispatch from Washington, says it is well known in diplomatic cireles there that England and France have addressed a formal note to our government, announcing their determination to carry out the provisions ef the Cayton-BulThe Next Presidential Contest. Some months ago, a writer in the Charleston (S. C.) Mereury, expressed the opinion that the next Presidential contest would be between the anti-Lecompton Democrats aud the Republicans. The writer was a Southern man, but bad traveled extensively in the North, and closely observed the political feelings of the masses: The recent elections indicate thatthe writer’s surmises were correct, and they further indicate that Douglas and Seward will be the Presidenwer treaty, as interpreted by the British gov-. tial nominees of the two’ parties, ernment, and also to protect Monsieur Felix The brilliant victory of Douglas in Illinois, Belly, in the privileges conceded to him by Ni-. achieved as ié was upon true Democratic princaragua, for the purpose of constructing an ciples, and against a combination of all the isms inter-oceanic cana.

Federal patronage which was used with a lavish hand against them, was powerless to aecomplish their defeat. Tux News py tHE Srepnens.—We published an “Extra” last Thursday morning, containing the news received by the J. L. Stephens, in which some important mistakes occurred. It was stated in the’dispatch that New Jersey had gone largely Democratic, and that the Republicans of Illinois had elected their candidates in eight Congressional districts, which statements are incorrect, In New Jersey, three Republicans and two anti-Lecompton Democrats are elected to Congress, and in Illinois the Democrats have elected five Congressmen and the Republicans four. The dispatch was made up at San Francisco, and the mistakes occurred in telegraphing. We have made the necessary corrections in the news as published on our first page. The intelligence in regard to the working of the Atlantic Cable, had been received at New York some ten days previous to the sailing of ythe mail steamer. In regard to this matter the New York}Ji/erald says : “A despatch received in London from Valentia Bay, dated 20th ult., states that a few intelligible words had been received through the Atlantic telegraph cable from Newfoundland. The shares had, in consequence, advanced slightly. The Secretary of the company, in announcing the resumption of communication between the two continents, holds out no hopes that it will be permanent, as it is evident the wire is seriously damaged.”’ As no intelligible words had been received . through the eable since the 20th of October, the stock of the company had again declined. J& On the fourth page of our last issue, u . paragraph was published, entitled an “English . view of President Buchanan at the wash basin,”’ credited toa London paper. We had some . . accused of. and France, and any attempt to carry them out must and will be resisted by our government at whatever cost. The letter of Gen. Cass, in which he re-asserted the Monroe doctrine, waa no doubt called out on account of the Ousley treaty having just previously been made, and the note from the English and French governments was probably intended asa re-. joinder to Cass’ letter. Unless our government backs down from the Monroe doctrine, of which . there is no probability, or else England and . France relinquish all pretensions for interfering in the affairs of the American continent, it is not easy to ece how a serious difficulty is to be avoided. The New York Jerald, in commenting on the . menacing note sent by the English and French Ministers to our government, says : But it cannot be concealed that the time has Convention, and the miserable toadies who bave lavished such fulsome adulation upon our present “venerable Chief Magistrate,” will be the rising sun. With Douglas as the nominee, and a platform embodying the principles advocated by the anti-Lecompton Democrats at the last session of Congress, the Democracy may count on a certain victory in 1860. The 2,000 or 3,000 votes cast for the Administration ticket in Illinois, is perhaps a fair average of the strength of the Lecompton party in the North, and their number will be greatly diminished as the term of President Buchanan draws to aclose. These facts will become so apparent by the time the Charleston Convention meets, that few of the delegates will be disposed to endorse the Lecompton policy of the Administration, Seward is acknowledged to be the foremost man of his party, and his chances for the nomination bave been greatly increased by the success of the Republican ticket in New York. In a speech recently made by him at Rochester, he advocated the ultra doctrine enunciated by arrived when a practical solution must be had . Lincoln of Illinois, that the States must all beof the delicate subjects which surround this . Central American question. That solution may force the United States to the adoption of that aggrandizing policy which they are now falsely When upon t0 slight an excuse as the earrying out of a contract between M. Belly ; and other adventurers and a petty State of Cen. tral America, the combined fleets of France and England are crowded forward to menace us, it becomes a grave consideration whether our safety does not compel us at once to place our political and geographical borders ina state of defence. Menaced from abroad, the United States may Le forced to see that we should at once be possessed of the key to the . Gulf—Cuba; and that a protectorate, or even the annexation of Mexico, is necessary for our . more perfect security. Up to this day the United States do not own afoot of ground they did not purchase; but a combination of the despotie Powers of Europe against us may compel us to hasten our destiny, so as to present on the continent of North Ameriea an unbroken front to the attacks of our foes, — . “Laws oF Business For Bustxess Men.” —We weeks previously, published an American view of the same scene, as contrasted with some have received from Mesars. H. H. Bancroft & . Co., of San Francisco, a copy of the above enscenes said to have occurred at the court of . titled work, by Theophilus Parsons, Professor Berlin, designed to show the simplicity of republicanism and the puerilities of royalty. The . pronounced by competent judges to be the best . articles are very readable, if not instructive, . The Grass Valley National, of Saturday last, parades the “English view,’ in its editorial col. umng, and takes it for granted that the disgust . of the Englishman at the idea of the President . washing his face in a dirty basin, receives our sympathy. We can inform our sensative neighbor, that he ia altogether mistaken. Tad the . President washed his face in a duck pond, ond wiped it with his coat sleeve, it would hare been a matter of indifference to us. Meetina at San Jose.—A meeting of the citizens of Santa Clara county was held at San . Jose, on Thursday last, for the purpose of expressing the popular feeling, in reference to the action of the government agent in enjoining operations upon the quicksilver mine. A series of appropriate resolutions were adopted, and the authorities at Washington were requested to order the injunction granted by the U. 8. District Court to be removed, and that the company now in possession be permitted to pursue . their accustomed operations until the final determination of the proceedings at law investigating the title and right of property. The suspension of operations on the mine has thrown several hundred laborers out of employment, . and severely crippled the industrial energy of the county. The resolutions speak very highly of the liberality of the company who have for twelve years been working the mine. Execution or AN INpIAN.—Aa Indian named Loo You, convicted of murdering a Chinaman in Amador county, was executed at Jackson last Friday. He acknowledged that he had murdered the Chinaman, and stated that he was instigated to commit the crime by the Indian who testified against him, who agreed to take the Chinaman’s horse, sell him and divide the money. He complained that he had been badly treated by the .Indians, who did not assist him during his ggiel, had not visited him, and were not present to see him die. The execution was private, with the exception of two or three of the prisoner’s friends, the Sheriff's posse, and a few citizens, in all twenty-six persons, Democratic Parer at SACRAMENTO.—Meassrs. A. R. Jackson & Co. have issued a prospectus for the publication of an anti-Lecompton Democratic paper at Sacramento. The first number will be issued as soon as proper encouragement is received to warrant the undertaking, and the proprietors assure their friends that if they commence the paper, its permanency will be put beyond a peradventure. It will be the size of the Union. We trust the proprietors may be succeseful in their undertaking. Covtp nor AcreE.—The Jury in the case of Hodges vs. Dr. Cooper, for alleged mal-practice, at San Francisco, could not agree on a verdict, and after being out a day or two, were discharged. They stood six for the plaintiff and six for the defendant. . of law in the University at Cambridge. It is and most comprehensive treatise on the law of . contracts, that has ever yct been presented in . the english language. Being designed more particularly for the use of business men, it is free from th3 usual technicalities of the law books, and should be studied by every man de. sirous of becoming familiar with the laws ap. pertaining to his own business. The work is . for eale at Hamlin’s book store, Broad street, . Nevada. Tuk Presipent’s Mrssage.—The overland . mail companies, are making preparations to express the President’s message through from St. Louis to California in the shortest possible time. The Butterfield Co. have signified thei~ intention of bringing it through in twelve days, and the contractors on the central route in fifteen days. Should the Butterfield Co. succeed according to their expectations, the message will reach California about the 19thinst. Congress met on the 6th, andthe message was doubtless published in St, Louis the next morning. Important From Mexico.—The Tehuantepec correspondent of the Alta, writing Nov. 18th, says that a special courier had arrived that morniug from Oaxaca, bringing intelligence that two thousand Spanish troops had been landed at Tampico, from four vessels, They are designed to operate in conjunction with the Priest party, to put down the Liberals. Great excitement prevailed at Tehuantepec, on the reception of the news. A Liper Case.—W. H. Newell and H. Has. kins, who were indicted some time since for publishing a libel on David Jobson, in the S. F. Times, were tried in the San Francisce Court of Sessions last Friday. The jury were unable to agree on a verdict. They stood nine for cgnviction and three for acquittal. ENLarcep.—The San Francisco Morning Call made its appearance last week in a new dress and considerably enlarged. The Call is among the best and by far “the eheapest daily paper published in the State. Rerrigved.—The Governor has granted a reprieve in the case of Samuel Steventon, who was sentenced to be hung at Jackson last Friday. He was convicted of murdering a man named Hastetter. Wwe 1n Sonoma.—Gen. M. G. Vallejo, it is said, has obtained over 6,000 gallons of wine from his vineyard, this season. He has also extended it, and anticipates raising nearly 50,000 gallons next year. Haty a Miniion.—There is now over halfa million of dollars in the State Treasury. A considerable portion of this amount will be required to pay the coupons on the funded debt of the State, due on the first of January. —— Deatu o¥ MouLton.—Benj. F.

Humboldt Zimes, has the following in regard to come citber slave or free, and that the slavery agitation must be kept up until one of these results was accomplished, This doctrine will suit the radical Abolitionists, but we believe will be found to be unpalatable to a great portion of the more moderate Repulicans. With sucha candidate, they cannot hope to carry more than four or five of the Northern States, Lyncuine at Cotumpia.—A man named Parrott, was hanged by the people of Columbia, on Thursday, on a charge of shooting Constable Leary of that place. During the water celebration on the Monday evening previous, Leary attempted to arrest two suspicious characters, named Wallace and Parrott, when one of them drew a pistol and shot him dead. This was while the wife and daughter of the murdered man were dancing ata ball. Some person rushed into the bull room and loudly announced the murder, when the daughter fainted and fell on the floor. The ball immediately broke up, and the whole population turned out in pursuit of the murderers. Wallace was wounded in the thigh by a shot from a pistol, and arrested that evening, and Parrott was taken shortly after. It seeras that Wallace acknowledged himself to be a robber, and stated that Parrott shot Leary, and upon this testimony, the latter was taken from the authorities andhung by the people. Wallace was returned to jail, and three more of the same gang have been arrested. Tue InptAN SkeLeron.—On our first page will be found a paragraph from the Trinity Journal, giving a description of a remarkable specimen of humanity recently discovered The the same “living skeleton” : We are informed by Gen. Kibbe that he has among his prisoners an Indian which is the most remarkable curiosity he has ever observed among the freaks of nature. He is from sixteen to twenty years of age, and is nothing more nor less than a living skeleton. The Indians say he has always enjoyed good health, and has never had any flesh on his bones, The General says an Indian’s hide stretched overa . skeleton would be a perfect picture of this natural curiosity, Loss or A WuaLer.—The U. 8. ship Vandalia, which arrived at San Francisco last week, reports that while at sea on the 2lst Nov., she spoke the whaling barque Italy, ef Greenport,

In the face ot doubt and distrust attempted to be thrown upon your Democracy and its gallant leader, by the pretext of pretenders that you were giving aid and comfort to the arch enemy of our country’s peace and safety and our party integrity, I see you standing alone, isolated by a tyrannical proscription, which wonld, alike foolishly and wickedly, lop off one of the most vigorous limbs of National Democracy—the limb of glorious Illinois!
