COCR Beckwourth’s Pass.,,.... 4,570 It will be noticed that the mountains regularly descend from the Sonora to Beckwourth’s Paes, The altitudes of the Menness lass and Yuba Gap have never been taken with inetraments, but the figures given above cannot be far from correct. It is the opinion of many well informed persons, and experienced railroad men, thatifa Pacific and Atlantic railroad is ever constructed it wil! come through the Henness Pass, and it is not improbable that the projected railroad to Nevada may in time be extended east until it meets the railroad now being extended west from St. Louis. The altitude of Nevada, at the foot of Main and Broad etreets, is about 2,200 feet above the level of the ocean; but the railroad will terminate at a point about 200 feet higher. From Nevada to the summit of the Henness Pass, the distance is about forty-five miles, which would give an average grade of 63 feet to the mile. Beyond the summit the country is level, and presents no serious obstacle to the construction of @ railroad. Perhaps the most difficult portion of the route would be between the terminus of the projected road, on the south side of Deer ereek, aud the crossing of the South Yuba. Tan Grose Ranow Traoepy.—The account published, in our last issue, taffen from the Grass Valley National, in regard to the tragedy near Globe Ranch, was incorrect in some important particulars, The name of the man killed was Carpenter, instead of James Tooley. It appears that some goody bad heen stolen from two teamsters that stopped over night at the Globe Ranch, The goods were discovered the next morning concealed in some bushes, when a watch was set to eatch the thieves, An Jndian was shortly seen approaching the spot, andon being taken prisoner confessed that himself and two others*bad committed the theft. On further search another Indian wes found concealed under some brush, and while he was being drawn from bis hiding place, a gun in the hands of ove of the party was accidentally discharged, the ball taking effect in Carpenter’s groin, killing him almost instantly. No information has been received as to what was done with the Indians, but the supposition is that they were tried and punished by Judge Lyneb. Homoararuic Cuart.— We are indebted to S, H. Chase for a copy of » Homographic Chart, giving the names, ages, politics, etc., of the State officers and members of the Legislature, compiled by Richard Lambert, The youngest Stato officer is Mr. C, IT. Botts, the State Printer, who is only twenty-one years old, according to the chart. Little reliance, however, ean be placed in the figures purporting to give the ages. Of the thirty-five Senators, thirty two are classed as Democrats, one ‘Old Line Democrat,” and two Republicans. The Assembly is composed of sixty-two Demoorats, seven anti-Lecompton Democrats, and one Republioan. Dirca Property SaLs.—We learn that Mr. Bates, the President and avting agent of the Truckee Lake Co., has purchased, in behalf of his company, $300,000 worth of stock of the Eureka Lake Co. The payments are to be made by June next, in time to meet the liabilities of the latter company. The total amount of stock in the Eureka company, is $750,000; and the company atill retains $450,000 of this amount, Masonio.—The following gentlemen, having previously been elected as officers of Quitman Lodge, No. 88, F. & A. M., at Orleans Flat, were installed Dee, 27th : S. O. Peas, W. M.; J. P, Brinton, 8. W.; OC. B. Jones, J, W.; Felix Feist, Treas; B. V. Barry, Seo’y.; J, M. Gray, §.D.; M. Connelly, J. D.; P. B. Oppenheim, Marshal; W. R. Morrow, Tyler. ' Faorr axp Saipe Trees.—Mr. Frederick Miller, having made arrangements with nursery men below, will receive in a few days a variety of fruit and shade trees, shrubery, ete., which will be sold at reasonable rates. He has leased the vacant lot below the brick church, for bis place of business. Inpian Ficut.—The Eel River Rangers, numbering thirteen men, under Capt, Jarboe, lately had a fight with ninety Indians, on South Eel river, Thirty Indians are said to have been killed, and as many more wounded. Three of the Rangers were wounded. te Reat Estate Operations.—Aceording to a table published ia the Bulletin, the total number of conveyances of real estate in San Francisco, during the year 1859, was 2,812, for which $6,963,125 was paid, A similar tabular statement for 1858, showed a iotal of 1,901 eonveyances, and @ gross amount of $3,826,146, Ove Toovsano Dottars a Foor.—The Territorial Enterprise, of Dec. 31st, says that Joba Rickleton and D. W. Bryan sold on the Thursday previous, twelve and a half feet on the SS Re dent, Gov. Wise informed the President that be had continual apprehension, A gentleman well versed in railroad matters, informs us, that the travel between Nevada ‘county alone and Sacramento would considerably more than pay the running expenses'and keeping the road in repair, The construction of the road would more than quadruple the travel to Sacramento. The amount of freight that would be brougst to Nevada and Grass Valley could ecarcely be Jess than 1200 tons per-week, which at ten dollars a ton, would amount to $624,000 per annom, If we estimate the business of Placer county at two. thirds that of Nevada the svud would pay for itself in less thaw three years. Few people, even those residing in this county, have any idea of the immense travel and freight that woud pase over this road. Let the road once be built, and we are satiefied that in less than two years the company would find it necessary to lay down a double track in order to accom modate the business. A railroud enterprise has never been projected in the State thut offers such favorable advantages for the investment of capital. The stock would command a premium as soon as the road was construeted and placed in running order. Comairree or Ixquiny.—The resolution offered by Mr. Mason in the U.S. Sanate, providing for the appointment of a committee to inquire into the Harper’s Ferry raid, has been adopted, and Messrs. Mason, of Va., Davis, of Miss., Collamer, of Vt., Fiteb, of Ind.,, and Doolittle of Wis., were appointed on the committee. The committee are instructed to inquire, as to whether any citizens of the United States, not present, were implicated in the Harper’s Ferry affair, or accessory thereto by contributing money, arms, or munitions; the character of the equipment; where, how and when the same was obtained, and transported to the place invaded, They are also to report what legislation is necessary for the preservation of the peace of the country and the safety of the public property. There can be little doubt that other parties, not present at the outbreak, were aware of Brown’s intentions, and assisted in raising contributions to procure arms aod munitions; the public are now entirely in the dark as to who these parties are. A number of publio men—Seward, Hale, and others of less ote —have been charged with having been coguizant of the intended outbreak, but as far as the public are aware, no evidence bas yet been adduced to show that any person, except thore who took part iu the affair at Harper’s Ferry, had any knowledge of Brown’s movements, or that he intended to foment a servile insurrec tion, If the committee should succeed in bringing to light any additional facts in regard to this affair, their investigations will not have been in vain, Gov. Wise anp THe Paresipent.—In his annual message to the Virginia Legislature, Gov. Wise commented pretty severely upon a letter which the President addressed to him, of Nov. 28th, in answer toa letter of Wise to the PresiThe letters bave both been published, received “reliable information’’ that a con. spiracy of formidable exteat in means and numbers, had been formed in Ohio, Pennsylvania. New York, and other States, to rescue Jobu Brown and his associate prisoners at Charlestown; that he was satified an attempt would be made to reecue the prisoners, aud failing in that, to seize citizens of Virginia as hostages, and victims in case the prisoners were executed. He says, also, that the desperadoes had depots in Maryland, Pennsylvania and Ohio, for the purpose of invading Virginia, and the people of that State were consequently kept in He closes his letter by saying, “with all the might of meaning, that if another invasion assails this State or its citizens, from avy quarter, I will pursue the inva. dere wherever they may go, iuto any Territory, and punish them wherever arms can reach them.’”’ Buchanan evidently understood Gov. Wise, and very modestly hinted that as be had not communicated the facts on which his infor. mation was based his statements were unreliable. This brought out the severe comments of Gov, Wise, in his message, on thu Procidant’s letter. Speaker oF THE Hovuss.-—At the latest dates from Washington, Deo, 16tb, the House of Representatives had not succeeded in electing a Speaker, The last vote reported, stood: for Sherman, 110; Bocook, 85; Gilmer, 22; scattering 9—Sherman lacking four votes of having a majority, On the last ballot, Haskin, Hickman aud Swartz voied for Sherman, From the discussions which took place amoung the members, and the statements of Washington letter writers, there ean be little doubt that Sherman was elected, A number of the Southern Opposition members bad announced their determination never to vote either for au Administration or auti-Lecompton Democrat, and the anti-Lecompton members were fully determined not to vote for any manu who supported the policy of the Administration, The President, having become fully satisfied that Sherman would be elected, did not favor a further delay of the organization. Salitadallatibiencsnlbshibiesidewinted Tar Cuarteston Convention.—The Democratic National Committee met at Washington, Dee. 7th, and fixed April 23d as the day fur the assembling of the Charleston Convention. The Convention was called thus early in the season for the reason that epidemics frequently prevail at Charleston during the summer months, and has made arrangements to open a singing echool . ™¢2 from the North; utactustomed to the cliin this place—commencing thie evening at the . mate would be deterred from going there ia the Methodist Charch. : elekly season.

Editor Democrat ;—A few lines from this section of the county, at the present time, may not seem amiss.” We are now having splendid weather for mining purposes, and the miners are improving it tothe best of their abilities. The South Yuba Water Co’s, (Kidd’s) ditch, is running about 1,000 inches of water into this place at the present time, the Omega Water Co’s, ditch about 800, besides several smaller ones that run trom 200 to 500 inchés each. It is believed by most of the old residents, that we shall have an open winter that will enable them to work nearly all the time. If so, a large amount of the precious metal will be taken out, for past experience has proved to a demonstration that it is here in abundance, and all that is wanting now is good weather, and the hardy and willing miner will be rewarded for his labor. An unsuccessful attempt was made by the majority of the miners here, to reduce the price of water to twelve and a half cents an inch, but it was no go; the water agents told them it was twenty cents or no water. After standing out, some week or ten days, they concluded to go to work at the old prices again. Our town isatthe present time undergoing a great change. On Saturday evening last, thirteen of our citizens marched in single file up to the Sons of Temperance Hall, and there avowed their determination to abstain from the further use of that double-distilled lightning that is dealt out so freely at one bita glass. The loss of these thirteen, has caused the saloon keepers to wear long faces, and t Capeue Chey WIL ve etl luupex by neat week, for T understand some ten or twelve more have resolved to follow in the footsteps of the illustrious thirteen. This Division of the Sons of Temperance is in a flourishing condition. They gavea New Year's Ball at this place on Monday evening, and it was without exception the most pleasant and best conducted party that has ever been given in this section. From twenty to thirty gentlemen, and ten or twelve ladies from Alpha were present. Sixty-three fivedollar tickets for the ball, and sixty-seven for the supper alone, were sold, and the Division will make from $75 to $100 by the operation. An excellent singing school is taught here by Mr. Clark, who is said to be A No. Lin his profession, and much ofa gentleman withal. He also has a school at Alpha two evenings in each week. Speaking of Alpha, the inhabitants of that little burg are much given to fun, amusement, and musical institutions. Besides the singing school of Mr Clark’s, they have a dancing school, ah by Mr. Hall, a fiddling school taught by Mr. 8. D. Tanner, and fast, though perhaps not least, a whistling school one evening per week. The whistling school is taught by Mr. Tanner, who is said to be proficient in the science. Atthis school there are eighteen scholars who attend punctually one night in each week, and I should think that they were making great progress, judging from their serenading trip around our town last Sunday evening. Yours, &e. CARLISLE. LETTER FROM SACRAMENTO, SACRAMENTO, Jan, 8th 1860. Ep. Democnat.—The past ten days have been very lively ones. The streets ofthis muddy City have been full of politicians, office-holders and office seekers, while the large hotels have been so jamed with them, that an honest man could not get “a place where to lay his head.” For thi or four days before the opening of the session, the various members of either house, were button-holed to an enormous extent by people who desired to serve their State in various capacities from ‘fire builder” up to “Unie! States Senator.” The Administration caucnse held on Monday evening the 2d, settled “the hash” of the lesser candidates, and left the field clear for the Senatorial aspirants, who have improved and are busy improving the time, Phil. Moore, your jolly, good natured, popular— and that’s all—representative, was elected Speaker almost unanimously, on the first and opening day of the session, as you were informed, by Telegraph. This was rather an undemocratic movement, and was the result of a desire, on the part of the antiWeller men not to show their hand on the first day. Phil. was beaten for the saine office one year ago, but to console him in his defeat, was promised the position at the next session of the Legislature, if he was elected. You know how he was elected. It was by the assistance of John B, Weller, and unmerited exertion and trading on the part of Phil. himself. He canvassed the county, on a little old mule, with his other shirt hung to his back, and used every art that he was master of or could hear of to elect Phil. Moore and Phil. Moorealone. His efforts were successful, and we now find him holding the position of Speaker of the California Assembly ! So goes the world. Phil. makes a fair Speaker, and presides with considerable tact and quickness. His decision of character has not been tested yet, this session. One of his first acts, was to appoint J.C. Duffy, (sealer of weights and measures,) to the high and responsible office of porter to the Assembly. What do you think of that? The balance of the officers of the Assembly and Senate were nomin caucus on Monday night, andon Tuesday the nominees were elected, sworn in, and both houses declared organized, The election of the officers necessarily made a large number of sore heads, who went growling around after the caucus, threatening all sorts of dire evil. Among the disappointed and sore-headed ones, I noticed E. B. Stonehill of Grass Valley. His claims had been urged by Kit. Lansing, Geo. D. Roberts, Amos T. Laird, and others, as a fit and worthy man to hold the lucrative office of Sergeat-at-Arms of the Senate. Butit was no go. An old Mexican soldier, who had lost one arm in serving his country, and who had moreover the Custom House interest to back him up, won the race, and soured Ed’s hopes. On Wednesday a message was received from the Governor, announcing the death of Broderick, and the necessity of electing some one to fill the vacanev --This set the Senatorial ball in motion, and it has been growing larger pm larger as the days roll by. A motion to go into Joint Convention on Thursday, was lost in the Senate and carried in the Assembly. On Thursday, a motion was made for a committee to wait on the Governor, and inquire ifhe had anything more to communicate to the Legislature, which created a great deal of hard discussion, and was lost. On Thursday evening, the Administration Senators and Assemblymen held a caucus, and after seven ineffectual ballots adjourned to ie fee The first ballot, Thursday was Weller, 38; Denver, 31; Baldwin, 11; Washington, 9; McDougal, 8; total, 97; necessary to a choice, 49; Inge and Hoge were not nominated. The seventh and last ballot stood, Weller, 38; Denver, 32; Baldwin 12; Washington, 8; McDougal, 7; total 97. On Friday evening, there were two formal and two informal ballots. The first being Weller, 40; Denver 82; Baldwin, 11; Washington, 8; McDougal, 6; total 97. The last ballot Weller, 42; mver, 32; Baldwin, 9; Washington, 9; McDougal, 5; total 97; no choice, and the caucus adjourned. During the caucus Stevenson of Tehama, and Johnson of Amador, had a di i , and Stevenson struck Johnson on the head with his cane, him severely. The difficulty was caused by whiskey and excited political feeling between the Weller men, to. which party Johnson belongs, and the Denver men, to which party Spowine is Bm The attack was, ag near can learn, wholly unprovoked and outr us. Previous to striking poesia Stevenson had had a prem og he the vestibule, with one Canovan, who struck him, and left, as Stevenson drew a knife. Stevenson claimed that Canovan was Johnson's friend and that he would hold him i ‘ons will nominate some pro “ for i peatoste gat vote, whenever the election is held. The Antis held a caucus the which they were all i county, and agreed to 4 over the election of U. 8.

F AnTI-LECOMPTON. Report of Grand J uary—January Term 1860. —_ To the Hon. Court of Sessions :—We the under. signed Grand Jurors beg leave to submit the following report: There has been seven presentments before us, which were disposed of as follows: Grand larceny, two indictments; bills ignored, two ; cases dism > three. In the discharge of our duties as Grand Jurors, . we submit the following facts, and recommendations to the serious attention and consideration of the Board of Supervisors. THE COURT HOUSE. : The Grand Jury would most urgently call their attention to the condition of the Court House. The leakage of the roofis destroying the plastering of the court room, besides impairing the securit of . the side walls of the building. In addition to tl is, the whole building requires painting. Such is the effect of the mountain climate upon brick, that no prudent man permits even a brick chimney to re. main unpainted—and the longer the Court House . is suffered to remain unpainted and unprotected the greater will be the injury, and the more difficult the "We ‘also suggest the impropriety of allowing the building to be used as a ball room. The necessary removal of the furniture for this purpose is destructive of it, while the motion of dancing is most injurious to the walls, We find the Jury room ina most shameful condition, and earnestly recommend that it be properly furnished and put in a proper condition for the accommodation of trial jury. THE JAIL. We also suggest the rhs of enclosing the . east and west sides of the Court House, as a measure protective of the Jail, and humanity to the prisoners. ‘The subterranean nature of the Jail renders a proper ventilation very difficult—but still necessary for the health of the persons in custody, The . windows through which this is effected, open directly upon the public streets, and the jailor has no . means of preventing direct communication between those in the jail, and whoever may see fit to come to these windows. The health of the prisoners reef that these windows should be kept open, and t eir safe keeping, that the means of improper com. } munication with outsiders should not be permitted. We also suggest and advise that those persons who are imprisoned in the County Jail for petty thefts and misdemeaners, be employed in such a way as is consistent with their safe-keeping, "pon some public or private works; several reason’ may be given in favor of such employment of the county . prisoners. In the first place, it lightens the burden of their support, now, a Med serious drain upon the finances of the county; it also makes of imprisonment, (when connected with labor) a punishment, whereas the greater number of those sentenced to the County Jail regard their confinement as merely a respite from rascality, and return to theircriminal fear of future punishment. ed that physical labor would be better for the prisoners than the life of utter uselessness now led by them. The man who for six months has lived ina dark cell, with no other exercise than that of feeding himself, must at the expiration of this time be unable to perform a man’s work, and would of necessity resort to crime to saye himself from starvation. The only objection urged against the employment of the County prisoners, isthe supposed degradation which it inflicts; but we are unable to see the distinction between the moral degradation of the man who steals fifty dollors and onke for the State, and he who steals atyetiine dollars and labors for the country. We therefore suggest and recommend to the Board of Supervisors, that when the same is practicable, the county prisoners be hereafter emeous to the county, ing from the jail (which is absolutely necessary to present drain so as to make it permanently useful for the purposes for which it is intended, we would . drain be run from the ravine to the jail, believing that the same can be accomplished by the assistance of the prisoners now in jail, with little expense to the county. In view of the fact that similar recommendations to the above have been made to the Board of Supervisors at different times, by former Grand Juries, ant, ao definite action having been taken by them in reg ~ -d thereto—we would add in all seriousness, that tj report is not made for Buncomb, butas we practices unawed by the past and undeterred by the . It may also be suggest. H. McKee, that he believes that defendant F. Shaw is not . . A. BLOCK, ployed in such a manner as_ will be most advanta. We find that the drain lead. the health of the prisoners as wellas those who} time, all proceedings against said insulveut be stayed have charge of them,) is filled up and thereby ren. dered useless—and as it is impossible to repair the . therefore recommend that a large and substantial . _ + ne ee BIRTH.

COUNTY HOSPITAL, We find the “Indigent Sick Fund” in a depleted condition, the present indebtedness is $13,000, the interest thereon per annum, amounts to $1,300. The total income for the year 1859, amounted to $7,783,82, and the total expenditures for the same year was $11,296,16, leaving a deficit for the year of #3,512,84, thus swelling the amount ofthe debt yearly, to the sum of $3,500. We therefore recommend most earnestly, that the Supervisors of the county give their immediate attention to the condiof that fund, and devise some means by which the current expenses of the County Hospital can be met, and the payment and liquidation of the outstanding debt and interest. We also suggest to the Board, that as neighboring Counties have passed ordinances or laws, relative to the adinission of patients to their County Hospitals, it behooves us, in self-protection, to do the same. There should be the utmost caution used in regard to the admission of patients, There should be some system adopted and strictly adhered to by your honorable body, that would exclude all but the really necessitous, S.

It is the opinion of many well informed persons, and experienced railroad men, thatifa Pacific and Atlantic railroad is ever constructed it wil! come through the Henness Pass, and it is not improbable that the projected railroad to Nevada may in time be extended east until it meets the railroad now being extended west from St. Louis. The altitude of Nevada, at the foot of Main and Broad etreets, is about 2,200 feet above the level of the ocean; but the railroad will terminate at a point about 200 feet higher. From Nevada to the summit of the Henness Pass, the distance is about forty-five miles, which would give an average grade of 63 feet to the mile. Beyond the summit the country is level, and presents no serious obstacle to the construction of @ railroad. Perhaps the most difficult portion of the route would be between the terminus of the projected road, on the south side of Deer ereek, aud the crossing of the South Yuba. Tan Grose Ranow Traoepy.—The account published, in our last issue, taffen from the Grass Valley National, in regard to the tragedy near Globe Ranch, was incorrect in some important particulars, The name of the man killed was Carpenter, instead of James Tooley. It appears that some goody bad heen stolen from two teamsters that stopped over night at the Globe Ranch, The goods were discovered the next morning concealed in some bushes, when a watch was set to eatch the thieves, An Jndian was shortly seen approaching the spot, andon being taken prisoner confessed that himself and two others*bad committed the theft. On further search another Indian wes found concealed under some brush, and while he was being drawn from bis hiding place, a gun in the hands of ove of the party was accidentally discharged, the ball taking effect in Carpenter’s groin, killing him almost instantly. No information has been received as to what was done with the Indians, but the supposition is that they were tried and punished by Judge Lyneb. Homoararuic Cuart.— We are indebted to S, H. Chase for a copy of » Homographic Chart, giving the names, ages, politics, etc., of the State officers and members of the Legislature, compiled by Richard Lambert, The youngest Stato officer is Mr. C, IT. Botts, the State Printer, who is only twenty-one years old, according to the chart. Little reliance, however, ean be placed in the figures purporting to give the ages. Of the thirty-five Senators, thirty two are classed as Democrats, one ‘Old Line Democrat,” and two Republicans. The Assembly is composed of sixty-two Demoorats, seven anti-Lecompton Democrats, and one Republioan. Dirca Property SaLs.—We learn that Mr. Bates, the President and avting agent of the Truckee Lake Co., has purchased, in behalf of his company, $300,000 worth of stock of the Eureka Lake Co. The payments are to be made by June next, in time to meet the liabilities of the latter company. The total amount of stock in the Eureka company, is $750,000; and the company atill retains $450,000 of this amount, Masonio.—The following gentlemen, having previously been elected as officers of Quitman Lodge, No. 88, F. & A.

' Faorr axp Saipe Trees.—Mr. Frederick Miller, having made arrangements with nursery men below, will receive in a few days a variety of fruit and shade trees, shrubery, ete., which will be sold at reasonable rates. He has leased the vacant lot below the brick church, for bis place of business. Inpian Ficut.—The Eel River Rangers, numbering thirteen men, under Capt, Jarboe, lately had a fight with ninety Indians, on South Eel river, Thirty Indians are said to have been killed, and as many more wounded. Three of the Rangers were wounded. te Reat Estate Operations.—Aceording to a table published ia the Bulletin, the total number of conveyances of real estate in San Francisco, during the year 1859, was 2,812, for which $6,963,125 was paid, A similar tabular statement for 1858, showed a iotal of 1,901 eonveyances, and @ gross amount of $3,826,146, Ove Toovsano Dottars a Foor.—The Territorial Enterprise, of Dec. 31st, says that Joba Rickleton and D. W. Bryan sold on the Thursday previous, twelve and a half feet on the SS Re dent, Gov. Wise informed the President that be had continual apprehension, A gentleman well versed in railroad matters, informs us, that the travel between Nevada ‘county alone and Sacramento would considerably more than pay the running expenses'and keeping the road in repair, The construction of the road would more than quadruple the travel to Sacramento. The amount of freight that would be brougst to Nevada and Grass Valley could ecarcely be Jess than 1200 tons per-week, which at ten dollars a ton, would amount to $624,000 per annom, If we estimate the business of Placer county at two. thirds that of Nevada the svud would pay for itself in less thaw three years. Few people, even those residing in this county, have any idea of the immense travel and freight that woud pase over this road. Let the road once be built, and we are satiefied that in less than two years the company would find it necessary to lay down a double track in order to accom modate the business. A railroud enterprise has never been projected in the State thut offers such favorable advantages for the investment of capital. The stock would command a premium as soon as the road was construeted and placed in running order. Comairree or Ixquiny.—The resolution offered by Mr. Mason in the U.S. Sanate, providing for the appointment of a committee to inquire into the Harper’s Ferry raid, has been adopted, and Messrs. Mason, of Va., Davis, of Miss., Collamer, of Vt., Fiteb, of Ind.,, and Doolittle of Wis., were appointed on the committee. The committee are instructed to inquire, as to whether any citizens of the United States, not present, were implicated in the Harper’s Ferry affair, or accessory thereto by contributing money, arms, or munitions; the character of the equipment; where, how and when the same was obtained, and transported to the place invaded, They are also to report what legislation is necessary for the preservation of the peace of the country and the safety of the public property. There can be little doubt that other parties, not present at the outbreak, were aware of Brown’s intentions, and assisted in raising contributions to procure arms aod munitions; the public are now entirely in the dark as to who these parties are. A number of publio men—Seward, Hale, and others of less ote —have been charged with having been coguizant of the intended outbreak, but as far as the public are aware, no evidence bas yet been adduced to show that any person, except thore who took part iu the affair at Harper’s Ferry, had any knowledge of Brown’s movements, or that he intended to foment a servile insurrec tion, If the committee should succeed in bringing to light any additional facts in regard to this affair, their investigations will not have been in vain, Gov. Wise anp THe Paresipent.—In his annual message to the Virginia Legislature, Gov. Wise commented pretty severely upon a letter which the President addressed to him, of Nov. 28th, in answer toa letter of Wise to the PresiThe letters bave both been published, received “reliable information’’ that a con. spiracy of formidable exteat in means and numbers, had been formed in Ohio, Pennsylvania. New York, and other States, to rescue Jobu Brown and his associate prisoners at Charlestown; that he was satified an attempt would be made to reecue the prisoners, aud failing in that, to seize citizens of Virginia as hostages, and victims in case the prisoners were executed. He says, also, that the desperadoes had depots in Maryland, Pennsylvania and Ohio, for the purpose of invading Virginia, and the people of that State were consequently kept in He closes his letter by saying, “with all the might of meaning, that if another invasion assails this State or its citizens, from avy quarter, I will pursue the inva. dere wherever they may go, iuto any Territory, and punish them wherever arms can reach them.’”’ Buchanan evidently understood Gov. Wise, and very modestly hinted that as be had not communicated the facts on which his infor. mation was based his statements were unreliable. This brought out the severe comments of Gov, Wise, in his message, on thu Procidant’s letter. Speaker oF THE Hovuss.-—At the latest dates from Washington, Deo, 16tb, the House of Representatives had not succeeded in electing a Speaker, The last vote reported, stood: for Sherman, 110; Bocook, 85; Gilmer, 22; scattering 9—Sherman lacking four votes of having a majority, On the last ballot, Haskin, Hickman aud Swartz voied for Sherman, From the discussions which took place amoung the members, and the statements of Washington letter writers, there ean be little doubt that Sherman was elected, A number of the Southern Opposition members bad announced their determination never to vote either for au Administration or auti-Lecompton Democrat, and the anti-Lecompton members were fully determined not to vote for any manu who supported the policy of the Administration, The President, having become fully satisfied that Sherman would be elected, did not favor a further delay of the organization. Salitadallatibiencsnlbshibiesidewinted Tar Cuarteston Convention.—The Democratic National Committee met at Washington, Dee. 7th, and fixed April 23d as the day fur the assembling of the Charleston Convention. The Convention was called thus early in the season for the reason that epidemics frequently prevail at Charleston during the summer months, and has made arrangements to open a singing echool . ™¢2 from the North; utactustomed to the cliin this place—commencing thie evening at the . mate would be deterred from going there ia the Methodist Charch. : elekly season.

Editor Democrat ;—A few lines from this section of the county, at the present time, may not seem amiss.” We are now having splendid weather for mining purposes, and the miners are improving it tothe best of their abilities. The South Yuba Water Co’s, (Kidd’s) ditch, is running about 1,000 inches of water into this place at the present time, the Omega Water Co’s, ditch about 800, besides several smaller ones that run trom 200 to 500 inchés each. It is believed by most of the old residents, that we shall have an open winter that will enable them to work nearly all the time. If so, a large amount of the precious metal will be taken out, for past experience has proved to a demonstration that it is here in abundance, and all that is wanting now is good weather, and the hardy and willing miner will be rewarded for his labor. An unsuccessful attempt was made by the majority of the miners here, to reduce the price of water to twelve and a half cents an inch, but it was no go; the water agents told them it was twenty cents or no water. After standing out, some week or ten days, they concluded to go to work at the old prices again. Our town isatthe present time undergoing a great change. On Saturday evening last, thirteen of our citizens marched in single file up to the Sons of Temperance Hall, and there avowed their determination to abstain from the further use of that double-distilled lightning that is dealt out so freely at one bita glass. The loss of these thirteen, has caused the saloon keepers to wear long faces, and t Capeue Chey WIL ve etl luupex by neat week, for T understand some ten or twelve more have resolved to follow in the footsteps of the illustrious thirteen. This Division of the Sons of Temperance is in a flourishing condition. They gavea New Year's Ball at this place on Monday evening, and it was without exception the most pleasant and best conducted party that has ever been given in this section. From twenty to thirty gentlemen, and ten or twelve ladies from Alpha were present. Sixty-three fivedollar tickets for the ball, and sixty-seven for the supper alone, were sold, and the Division will make from $75 to $100 by the operation. An excellent singing school is taught here by Mr. Clark, who is said to be A No. Lin his profession, and much ofa gentleman withal. He also has a school at Alpha two evenings in each week. Speaking of Alpha, the inhabitants of that little burg are much given to fun, amusement, and musical institutions. Besides the singing school of Mr Clark’s, they have a dancing school, ah by Mr. Hall, a fiddling school taught by Mr. 8. D. Tanner, and fast, though perhaps not least, a whistling school one evening per week. The whistling school is taught by Mr. Tanner, who is said to be proficient in the science. Atthis school there are eighteen scholars who attend punctually one night in each week, and I should think that they were making great progress, judging from their serenading trip around our town last Sunday evening. Yours, &e. CARLISLE. LETTER FROM SACRAMENTO, SACRAMENTO, Jan, 8th 1860. Ep. Democnat.—The past ten days have been very lively ones. The streets ofthis muddy City have been full of politicians, office-holders and office seekers, while the large hotels have been so jamed with them, that an honest man could not get “a place where to lay his head.” For thi or four days before the opening of the session, the various members of either house, were button-holed to an enormous extent by people who desired to serve their State in various capacities from ‘fire builder” up to “Unie! States Senator.” The Administration caucnse held on Monday evening the 2d, settled “the hash” of the lesser candidates, and left the field clear for the Senatorial aspirants, who have improved and are busy improving the time, Phil. Moore, your jolly, good natured, popular— and that’s all—representative, was elected Speaker almost unanimously, on the first and opening day of the session, as you were informed, by Telegraph. This was rather an undemocratic movement, and was the result of a desire, on the part of the antiWeller men not to show their hand on the first day. Phil. was beaten for the saine office one year ago, but to console him in his defeat, was promised the position at the next session of the Legislature, if he was elected. You know how he was elected. It was by the assistance of John B, Weller, and unmerited exertion and trading on the part of Phil. himself. He canvassed the county, on a little old mule, with his other shirt hung to his back, and used every art that he was master of or could hear of to elect Phil. Moore and Phil. Moorealone. His efforts were successful, and we now find him holding the position of Speaker of the California Assembly ! So goes the world. Phil. makes a fair Speaker, and presides with considerable tact and quickness. His decision of character has not been tested yet, this session. One of his first acts, was to appoint J.C. Duffy, (sealer of weights and measures,) to the high and responsible office of porter to the Assembly. What do you think of that? The balance of the officers of the Assembly and Senate were nomin caucus on Monday night, andon Tuesday the nominees were elected, sworn in, and both houses declared organized, The election of the officers necessarily made a large number of sore heads, who went growling around after the caucus, threatening all sorts of dire evil. Among the disappointed and sore-headed ones, I noticed E. B. Stonehill of Grass Valley. His claims had been urged by Kit. Lansing, Geo. D. Roberts, Amos T. Laird, and others, as a fit and worthy man to hold the lucrative office of Sergeat-at-Arms of the Senate. Butit was no go. An old Mexican soldier, who had lost one arm in serving his country, and who had moreover the Custom House interest to back him up, won the race, and soured Ed’s hopes. On Wednesday a message was received from the Governor, announcing the death of Broderick, and the necessity of electing some one to fill the vacanev --This set the Senatorial ball in motion, and it has been growing larger pm larger as the days roll by. A motion to go into Joint Convention on Thursday, was lost in the Senate and carried in the Assembly. On Thursday, a motion was made for a committee to wait on the Governor, and inquire ifhe had anything more to communicate to the Legislature, which created a great deal of hard discussion, and was lost. On Thursday evening, the Administration Senators and Assemblymen held a caucus, and after seven ineffectual ballots adjourned to ie fee The first ballot, Thursday was Weller, 38; Denver, 31; Baldwin, 11; Washington, 9; McDougal, 8; total, 97; necessary to a choice, 49; Inge and Hoge were not nominated. The seventh and last ballot stood, Weller, 38; Denver, 32; Baldwin 12; Washington, 8; McDougal, 7; total 97. On Friday evening, there were two formal and two informal ballots. The first being Weller, 40; Denver 82; Baldwin, 11; Washington, 8; McDougal, 6; total 97.

During the caucus Stevenson of Tehama, and Johnson of Amador, had a di i , and Stevenson struck Johnson on the head with his cane, him severely. The difficulty was caused by whiskey and excited political feeling between the Weller men, to. which party Johnson belongs, and the Denver men, to which party Spowine is Bm The attack was, ag near can learn, wholly unprovoked and outr us. Previous to striking poesia Stevenson had had a prem og he the vestibule, with one Canovan, who struck him, and left, as Stevenson drew a knife. Stevenson claimed that Canovan was Johnson's friend and that he would hold him i ‘ons will nominate some pro “ for i peatoste gat vote, whenever the election is held.

F AnTI-LECOMPTON. Report of Grand J uary—January Term 1860. —_ To the Hon. Court of Sessions :—We the under. signed Grand Jurors beg leave to submit the following report: There has been seven presentments before us, which were disposed of as follows: Grand larceny, two indictments; bills ignored, two ; cases dism > three. In the discharge of our duties as Grand Jurors, . we submit the following facts, and recommendations to the serious attention and consideration of the Board of Supervisors. THE COURT HOUSE. : The Grand Jury would most urgently call their attention to the condition of the Court House. The leakage of the roofis destroying the plastering of the court room, besides impairing the securit of . the side walls of the building. In addition to tl is, the whole building requires painting. Such is the effect of the mountain climate upon brick, that no prudent man permits even a brick chimney to re. main unpainted—and the longer the Court House . is suffered to remain unpainted and unprotected the greater will be the injury, and the more difficult the "We ‘also suggest the impropriety of allowing the building to be used as a ball room. The necessary removal of the furniture for this purpose is destructive of it, while the motion of dancing is most injurious to the walls, We find the Jury room ina most shameful condition, and earnestly recommend that it be properly furnished and put in a proper condition for the accommodation of trial jury. THE JAIL. We also suggest the rhs of enclosing the . east and west sides of the Court House, as a measure protective of the Jail, and humanity to the prisoners. ‘The subterranean nature of the Jail renders a proper ventilation very difficult—but still necessary for the health of the persons in custody, The . windows through which this is effected, open directly upon the public streets, and the jailor has no . means of preventing direct communication between those in the jail, and whoever may see fit to come to these windows. The health of the prisoners reef that these windows should be kept open, and t eir safe keeping, that the means of improper com. } munication with outsiders should not be permitted. We also suggest and advise that those persons who are imprisoned in the County Jail for petty thefts and misdemeaners, be employed in such a way as is consistent with their safe-keeping, "pon some public or private works; several reason’ may be given in favor of such employment of the county . prisoners. In the first place, it lightens the burden of their support, now, a Med serious drain upon the finances of the county; it also makes of imprisonment, (when connected with labor) a punishment, whereas the greater number of those sentenced to the County Jail regard their confinement as merely a respite from rascality, and return to theircriminal fear of future punishment. ed that physical labor would be better for the prisoners than the life of utter uselessness now led by them. The man who for six months has lived ina dark cell, with no other exercise than that of feeding himself, must at the expiration of this time be

unable to perform a man’s work, and would of necessity resort to crime to saye himself from starvation. The only objection urged against the employment of the County prisoners, isthe supposed degradation which it inflicts; but we are unable to see the distinction between the moral degradation of the man who steals fifty dollors and onke for the State, and he who steals atyetiine dollars and labors for the country. We therefore suggest and recommend to the Board of Supervisors, that when the same is practicable, the county prisoners be hereafter emeous to the county, ing from the jail (which is absolutely necessary to present drain so as to make it permanently useful for the purposes for which it is intended, we would . drain be run from the ravine to the jail, believing that the same can be accomplished by the assistance of the prisoners now in jail, with little expense to the county. In view of the fact that similar recommendations to the above have been made to the Board of Supervisors at different times, by former Grand Juries, ant, ao definite action having been taken by them in reg ~ -d thereto—we would add in all seriousness, that tj report is not made for Buncomb, butas we practices unawed by the past and undeterred by the . It may also be suggest. H. McKee, that he believes that defendant F. Shaw is not . . A. BLOCK, ployed in such a manner as_ will be most advanta. We find that the drain lead. the health of the prisoners as wellas those who} time, all proceedings against said insulveut be stayed have charge of them,) is filled up and thereby ren. dered useless—and as it is impossible to repair the . therefore recommend that a large and substantial . _ + ne ee BIRTH.

COUNTY HOSPITAL, We find the “Indigent Sick Fund” in a depleted condition, the present indebtedness is $13,000, the interest thereon per annum, amounts to $1,300. The total income for the year 1859, amounted to $7,783,82, and the total expenditures for the same year was $11,296,16, leaving a deficit for the year of #3,512,84, thus swelling the amount ofthe debt yearly, to the sum of $3,500. We therefore recommend most earnestly, that the Supervisors of the county give their immediate attention to the condiof that fund, and devise some means by which the current expenses of the County Hospital can be met, and the payment and liquidation of the outstanding debt and interest. We also suggest to the Board, that as neighboring Counties have passed ordinances or laws, relative to the adinission of patients to their County Hospitals, it behooves us, in self-protection, to do the same. There should be the utmost caution used in regard to the admission of patients, There should be some system adopted and strictly adhered to by your honorable body, that would exclude all but the really necessitous, S.
