Tur County Hosritat.—The Grand Jury in their report, published in our last, take some exceptions to the rules and management of the county hospital. They think the practice of keeping the rooms in darkness after 8 o’clock r.M. causes great inconvenience. Had the jury remained at the hospital over night they would have ascertained that the rooms are not kept in darkness. A lamp is hung in the center of the hall and kept burning all night, which affords all the light that is necessary for the convenience of patients. But the patients are not allowed to have candles at their beds, to and the jury doubtless got their information from some dissatisfied patient who had been deprived of this luxury. ‘To allow some of the patients to have candles in the wards during the night, would not only disturb other patients but would also endanger the building. The Grand Jury also recommend that four wellventilated single bed rooms be added to the hospital for the accommodation of such as it would be improper to lodge in the wards. We do not think such an addition necessary. There are now two small rooms, which are all that are likely to be needed for some years.

Ten thousand stand of arms are being disservices to Sovth Carolina in case Virginia has no use for him. The report that Senator Toombs had resigned is contradicted ; he will resign, however, on the 3d of next Mareb unless Georgia secedes.

D Know all men by these presents that], MARIA BLACKFORD, of Grass Valley Township County of Nevada State of California, the wife of John Blackford, of the State and County aforesaid, do . veterate hostility to Americans. In view of . this state of things the local Indian agent stationed at Walla Walla, has interdicted the min. ers going upon the reserve or ucross it for min. ing purposes. He has issued a notice to the advising them tojoin with the Pacific Con. federacy. This intelligence is of great importance; and the people of this coast will be under lasting obligations to the “Californians at Washington,’ who have thus the general fand into the State Treasury, to the first of March next, at $328,244. The current expenditures are estimated at $382,500, which would leave a deficit of over $53,000, The settlement of the State Prison question, at a cost of $275,000, is the chief eause of the present impoverished condition of the general fund, and it is difficult to devise a plan for liquidating the obligations accruing, without an inerease of the rate of taxation, or the opening of some new sources of revenue. The interest and sinking fund, on the first of Jannary next, will be sufficient to pay the $133,000 interest then due, and leave upwards of $100,0000 with which to redeem the outstanding State bonds, Goxe ro Work.—The miners and ditch companies at Datch Fiat have effected a compromise relative to the price of water, Last Tuesday evening the miners held a meeting, and agreed to accept the proposition of the ditch owners, topay fifteen cents aninch, and have again gone to work, The rates formerly paid was twenty eents an inch, and the reduction will be of immense advantage to the miners. Exection News.—Dispatches received by the last Pony state that Bell’s plurality in Virginia is at least 1,700. AH but four counties in Missouri, give Douglas a majority over Bell of 478; the State is conceded to Douglas. Official returns from Illinois give Lincoln 172,545 ; Douglas, 160,549; Bell, 4,846 ; Breekinridge, 2,272. Paper Mitt.—The paper milk which for some time has been in course of eonstruction at Santa Cruz, is completed, and the mill has commenced the manufacture of paper. The Sentine! of November 29th, understands that the first ream of paper was to have been turned out that day. te Sirver Prospscrine,-A company of men is being organized in Tulare eounty, for the purpose of bunting a very rich silver lead that was discovered in 1849, in the Owen’s Lake country. Inptan Krunep.—Oo Thursday, Nov. 29th an old Indian, living near Davis’ ferry, on the Tuolumne, was fownd murdered. The marder, it is supposed, was perpetrated by other Indians. Firremen’s Benezrit.—The entertainment for the benefit of the Nevada fire companies, tendered by Mr. Ashmore, of the Melodeon, takes place at the ‘Fheater, on Main street, . next Monday evening. We trust the house will be filled on that occasion. THEATRICAL.—The Nevada Theater, we learn, will be opened next Wednesday ovening by the Maguire Troupe. The play of the “QOctoroon” will be presented that evening. Eastern Parars.—Messrs, H. H. Wickes & Co., of Broad strect Book Store, have our thanks for late New York papers, received by the mail steamer Uncle Sam. A Parent has been issued to Lyman P. Collins, of Sacramento, for wo improvemena in loop-catebes for sewing machines. disposed of the Pacitic Slope. Wa.tace Monument.—A friend has handed us a small pamphlet giving a sketch of the movement for erecting ® monument to William Wallace, the patriot hero of Scotland, together witha list of the principal contributors and promoters, and a finely executed steel engraving of the Monument. Among the contributions, we notice the sum of $300 from Grass Valley, California, which we presume was contributed by the Wallace Monument Association, organized in this county some years ago. The monument is to be placed on the “Abbey Craig’ which. overlooks the fleld of Stirling Bridge, where Wallace obtained his greatest victory on the 11th of September, 1297. To complete the monument according to the plan adopted, the sum of $35,000 is required, of which $26,000 has been eubscribed and is now at the disposal of the Committee, Ia order to raise the additional $9,000, the committee now make an appeal to the descendants of the men who bled wish Wallace and were led by Bruce—Scottirb patriots both at home and abroad—aa appeal whieh will no doubt be responded. tas Avustuan Revorms.—A Paris correspondent says: The Emperor of Austria, with the fate of the King of Naples before him, has determined to profit by the lesson, aud bas at last published a decree granting constitutional reforms to his entire Empire. The proad Hapsburg is no longer the arbi. trary sovereign of bis millions of subjects, The Diets of the different provinces have a voice in the administration of affairs, and Hungary is accorded many of her ancient rights. For Venice nothing has been done. EsMERALDA Minus.—The Silver Age says that the town of Aurora at the Esmeral mines is composed.of about thirty buildings, and has a population of about 150 souls, who for the most part are now engaged in preparations for the winter. Developments are made daily, in the mines, of the most encouraging character. Present appearances: indicate a great rush there in the spring. Heparine Juprciovsty.—A Breckinridge man, attached to the Custom House, ‘Tuesday, after the: official result of the election in this State was declared, received his winnings—he had previously paid his losses. On making up his account he found himself in the possession of $1,500 surplus after paying up all his carly bets made on Breck. At the eleventh hour he went his pile on Lincoln with the, to him, pleasing result mentioned.—(8. F. Call. STABBING A¥FPRAY.—A serious stabbing affair occurred at White’s Italian Hotel, near Pine Grove, Amador county, in the early part of last week. An Italian under the intluence of liquor, insulted a young lady, whereupon two or three persons present interfered, and . one of them received a wound which it was . feared would prove fatal. . ' Qurer Cause oF ComPLAINtT.—A stage . agent, writing to the Alta from Sonoma county, . complains of the great abundance of twenty . dollar pieces; wants to know if they coin noth. ing else at the mint; and says they are as en . a nuisance as the “slugs” of old times. How . much mankind is given to grumbling! . CaLAveras Coprrr Min8s.—The laborers on the Calaveras copper mines, have abandoned their works until next spring. They were mostly engaged in sinking shafts, and the water du ring the winter season, it is thought would operate against them. public that ifthe miners cross the lines of the reserve, he shall immediately recall all his men stationed at the reserve, as they will not be . safe there,, and shall turn the entire reserve . over to the military as only means for its pro. tection. ‘Phe temper of the Indians is greatly . opposed to men going into their country for . Inning purposes. . The Nez Perces are undoubtedly the most . intelligent Indians on the Tacific Slope. . They are not numerous; but are wealtbhy— . owning large bands of horses and cattle— and are nearly allied to the Flatheads, . Cayuses, and Walla Wallas, These tribes speak a common language, and should the Nez Perces become involved in a war with the whites they would be able to effect a powerful combination. with the adjoining tribes, Tur San Francisco authorities, says the Call, have opened a crusade against houses of ill fame, the first movement having been made by the late Grand Jury, which has indicted some two dozen or more houses of unquestionable character. The object appears to be to compel the inmates of the bagnios to. practice the arts of their calling less publicly than they have heretofore been doing, and to force them to withdraw the trappings of their vicious practices from the general gaze. Maxicrovus Prosscvution.—E. A. Lawrence Court, San Francisco, against William Martin for malicious prosecution, The complaint al leges, says the Call, that the prosecution of freeones y defendant before the police court or an assault with a sword.cane on the 16th of November last, was malicious, and that the de. fendant Martin, swore falsely on thattrial. The . plaintiff claims $10,000 damages. — Assays.—Professor Veatch, of San Francisco, made, last week,, several assays of ore from the Esmeralda district, »s follows: Great Republican lode, $3,035 per tun, being $2,333 in gold and $702 in silver; Cedar lode, $2,107; Utah lode,, $2,359; Esmeralda lode, 1,389; and Washington lode, $1,660. Stars Reronm Scuoo.—The Marysville i says the construction of this building will be commenced on Monday next. That paper objects to the site selected as being in a very unhealthy spot,.and: thinks the Legislature will refuse to make further appropriation unless @ healthier location is selected. Virernta Crry, ove the Enterprise, is improving dai!y; new buildings of the most substantial charecter are springing up asif by magic, All strange visitors to our city express themselves surprised at our metropolitan appearance. MiIngegRAL WEALTH oF TvoLUMNE.—The Sonora Age says that Tuolumne yields the palm to no mining county for thenumber and richness of its quartz 1 Sy Abeeey: with imperfect machinery, they have yielded fortunes to many. A TAnGET.—The top of the steeple of the new Baptist Church, at Stockton, will be one hundred and thixty feet above the grade of the street, affording a fine t for the firemen of that city to practice at with their engines.

Tone VALLEY CoAL.—This coal is now in use at the Union Hotel in Jackson. The An. hot fire and is cheaper than wood.
