Scraps of Political Economy. Multitudes in this bustling world are deeply impressed with the idea that the signs of the times indicate the commencement of a new era in the moral and political system—that a daystar of a more prosperous condition is about to dawn upon our race. Through the long lapse of ages, from the days of Solon to the yee time, it isa very melancholy thought that Terrible Case of Suffering. On Sunday night last, two brothers, James and William Mason, aged respectively 18 and 20, with no clothing on except pants and shirt, which were sk wet, went to the residence of Benjamin F, Watkins, about ten miles above this city, near the Mississippi river, and solicited help.

DisaSTERS IN THE Cains Swas.—By the arrival of the ship Sea Serpent, from Hong Kong, we have accounts of a number of marine dieasters; The American ship Reindeer, which eailed from Manila for San Francisco on the 23d October, returned to Manilla on the 20th November, having Jost her main and mizzeo masts in a typhoon in the China Sea, on the 6th of November, The American ship Flying Fish with a cargo of tea for New York, while beating out of the river Min, on November 25th, went on the south bank, got off next day and had to return to port. The cargo was not supposed to be damaged. The American barque Migrator left the Pagoda anchorage with acargo of tea for Australia, on the 24th November. She struck on the Spiteful rock (close to the anchorage,) got off, and returned witb four feet of water in the hold, On the 11th November. the brig Arron, Captain Ripley, was totally lost on the Pratat Shoal. No lives were lost. The Ship Western Continent experienced a severe typhoon on the 16th November. On the 17th she epoke the American sbip W. G. Morrice, of Philadelphia, totally dismasted, from . San Francisco bound to Calcutta, Wacker’s River Mings.—A corresponent of the Territorial Enterprise, writing from Walker's river, gives some interesting facty in regard to that locality. There are between forty aod seventy men on the river, but at present they are able to do nothing in consequence of the ground being frozen to the depth of three feet. . ou the occasion of the massacre of a train of . The correspondent adds : There bas not, thus far, been any large Mountain Meadows in the southern section of! strikes made; although, on almost every bill are invited to call, where they will finda quiet place of . fitted and renovated the building formerly known . . this territory, that some children were saved by the Iudians; they were afterwards rescued b the residents near that spot. Soon after Dr. J. . Forney, the Indian Superintendent, came into . this territory, he caused the children thus res cued to be gathered together. There are fourteen of them, from the ages of four to seven of both sexes, all in the care of Mr. Hamblio at Fort Clara. They are all comfortably clothed, land attend sehool, and in the spring will be sent to their relatives, if avy can be found, . Two of the children answer to the name of Dunbar, the remaining twelve know of no surname, wor can they give aoy account of any friends or relatives.—Salt Lake * Valley Tan,”’ Genivs axp Lanett,—Alexander Hamilton ence said toan intimate friend—Men give me some credit for genius. All the genius that 1 . have lies justin this. When I have a subject . . } in band I study it profoundly. Day and night) . it is before me. I explore itin all its bearings, . . My mind becomes pervaded with it. Then the effurt which I make is what the people are . pleased to call the fruit of genius. Itis the fruit of labor and thought.’ Mr. Webster once replied toa gentleman who pressed him to speak on a subject of great . . importance. “The subject interests me deeply, . but I have not time. There, sir,’”’ pointing to . a buge pile of letters on his table, “is a piie of . unanswered letters, to which 1 must reply be. . fore the close of the session (which was then . . three days off.) “I have not time to master the subject so as todo it justice.’ “But, Mr. . Webster, a few words from yeu would do so . much to awaken public attention to it’’ “If . there be euch weight io my words as you repre. . sent, itis becauee Ido not allow myself to. . speak on any subject till I have imbued my . mind with it.” Demosthenes was once urged to speak on a . great and sudden emergency. “Iam uot prepared,” said he, and obstinately refused. . The law of labor is equally binding on ge-. nius and mediocrity. New York anv Bostox.—The wealth of the two cities of New York and Boston amounts to eight hundred millions of dollars—New York . having $525,000,000 ; Boston $275,000,000, or a little more than one-half that uf New York. . The property of Boston is one hundred millions . more than that of Philadelphia, and nearly . . three times that of Baltimore. It is said that . . Boston fas more property per capita, than any . . other city in the world. . . Increase or THE Anmy.—The Secretary of . . War expresses the opinion that the proposed . military occupation of Sonora and Chibuabua, . . so far from requiring any increase of the army, . will have exactly the opposite effect. But it . appears that several Mexicanos have gone back . to Mexico to resist, or to organize a resistance to the oecupation of Sonora and Chihuahua by . our troops, according to the recommendation in the President’s message. . Honsg-wam J ustice.—We bave heard of a . boy, in the olden days of Webster’s Grammar, who found this definition in bis book ; “A coun . is the name ot a thing, as horse, bair, justice.” He was of a reflecting turn, and long he pon. dered over the wonderful mysteries of a noun. . But in vain—be could not make it out. His . fatber was a justice of the peace; and one day when the boy went home, the old gentlemao was holding a justice’s court. There be sat in state, among a crowd of people, on an oldfashioned horse-bair settee. A new light broke in ypon our young bero’s mind. “} said be, mentally, “is a horse-hair justice, and ; therefore a noun,” } . } . } and ravine gold has been found, and good wages have been made by nearly all who have gotinto their claims. The bed rock bas not yet been found. Miners now work to a lava, which is of a reddish brown, soft, light and porons; it is generally about six feet below the surface. The gold appears to be evenly distributed If there are any rich deposits they are belpw the lava or in the billey, which are low and wide, and very flat on top; they ran parallel with the creeks, ana are covered with sage brush, Porsvuir or a Huspanp unper Dirrievitins.— The St. Louis correspondent of the San Francisco Bulletin, in bis letter of Dec, 23d says : Among the passengers by the twenty-first overland mail who reached St. Louis last evening, was Mrs. Hall or Hale, an English lady. Her husband left Englaod several years sivec, and came to the New World—she knew not whither. Being desirous of rejoining him, she took ship at Liverpool for one of our Eastern ports, and came over, Learning that he was probably in Australia, she went thither on a long aud perilous passage, arriving there only to learn that no such person wasa dweller at that end of the earth. With hope still in ber heart, she eailed from Melbourue to Sao Francisco. Failing there to hear of her truant spouse, she despaired of success, and reluctantly decided to abandon him for lost, and return by way of the overland route and the west to ber former homein England. On alighting from the cars in this city, last evening, almost the first person she encountered was her long absent lord. Your readers may imagine the joy of the poor woman at meeting the object of her long and wearisome search over far off lands and oceans, and amid countless hardships and dangers, at a place where she had never expected it, and when hope itself had ceased to . guide her pathway. Aw Extraorpinary Case.—A_ correspondent of the Stockton Republican, writing from Loviog’s Ferry, San Joaquin river, relates the following extraordinary affair ; Mr. Maloy, a native of Kentucky, aged about twenty-eight years, who resides in this vicinity and who eerved in Walker’s first filibustering expedition, has been afflicted for about twelve mouths witb a tumor in his left breast, extending from the fourth rib to the collar bone. It had the puleation of all the other symptoms of aneurism. For the last two months bis breathing had become so laborious that life wasa burden to him. Last week Dr. Riddell, of Bear Valley, made a deep incision in the lower part of the tumor, and after a pint of thick, yellow matter was discharged, he succeeded in extracting a mosket ball. It had entered from the back, a little below the shoulder blade. The most curious circumstance in the case is, that the patient has no idea in what battle be received the shot. He can only remember that be at one time,in Nicaragua, experienced a smarting burning sensation in his left shoulder; but ashe slept on the sand, in the open air, and had no change of clothes for along time he did not discover the cause. The patient is rapidly recovering. Mason Emory Sare.—We are happy to state, on the authority of Maj. Gillespie, who has recent private advices from the Atlantic States, that Maj. Emory, of the First Cavalry, (formerly of the Topograpbical corps,) "was not mur“My father,” lees by the Indians, as was supposed; but that pews bad been received from bim, announcing party.— Sac. Register. hie safety and that of bis THE NEVADA DEMOCRAT, . NEVADA, CALIFORNIA, WEDNESDAY MORNING, JANUARY 26, 1859. Shooting Affray at Omega. Omxeoa, Jan. 17th 1859. Editor Democrat:—Our usually qniet town was thrown into great excitement on Wednesday evening, Jan. 12th. The difficulty commenaced at Mr. Geo. May’s dancing school, between James Ferguson, (commonly known as Limber Jim) and Chas. G. Fisk. Fisk bad taken dis place on the floor to dauce, when Jim came up to him, and after indulging in some abusive language to Fisk, pushed him aside and took his place on the floor; some harsh words ensued between them, and Limber Jim kicked Fisk in the breast. Jimis much the larger of the two, and able to handle half a dozen such men as Fiek. After this ecourrence Fisk went to his house, as is supposed, and armed himself with a pistol. The parties met shortly after, in front of Mr. Edward’s store, when Fisk fired two sbots at Jim, each of which took effect in his right thigh, Fisk said he bad no wish to kill Limber Jim, but he intended to fix that leg so he could not use it quite so handy in future, Fisk immediately surrendered himself, but before a warrant could be issned he left the scene of excitement, and took up his quarters with a friend, a little outoftown. He was found about one o’clock inthe morning by Constable Smith, and brought before Justice Rugg, when he gave bondsin the sum of $1,000 to appear on Friday the 14th, to answer to the charge of assault with a deadly weapon, with intent to kill, On Friday morning he appeared for examination and asked for further time to proeure counsel, which was granted until Monday the 17th, at 9 o’clock a.m. But about 8 o’clock Sunday evening, as Constable Smith was walking to his (Smith’s) house, Fisk placed his right foot in front of Smith and tripped him down, causing him to fall rather hard on the snow and ice, and then bidding him good evening, he started on the rua, and it is thought by many, that he beat Soda Bill’s best time, As soon as Smith regained his feet, he drew his revolver and fired twice at Fisk, which hada tendeney to accelerate his steps, The last that was seen of him he was on the trail leading to Alpba, going at the top of his speed, crying, “fire in town,’’ and several miners living inthe vicinity of the trail came to town inquiring after the fire. It is believed that Limber Jim will soon recover, although he has now six wounds in bis leg—four made by the doctors in trying to extract the balls, bat they did not succeed in finding either of them. Yours, &c., RESIDENTER, John Mitchell's Programme. This miss-called “Irish Patriot,’”’ bas removed his paper, the Southern Citizen, from Knoxville, Tenn., to Washington city. The following ie his programme, taken from the salutatory at the new locality, for future operations : “Tirst. Repeal of all laws prohibiting the foreign slave-trade, or imposing penalties thereon, Seeond. Repeal of the law abolishing the slave trade in the District of Columbia. Third. Absolute resistance to everything in the nature of a Compromise between North and South, Fourth. Peremptory demand for the intervention of Congress, President and Supreme Court for slavery in all Territories, the moment a slavebolder brings his slaves there; in other words, intervention by the authorities to sustain the law and prevent robbery, “These four items include all, Up to a certain date—say till the ——— day of —-, 186-, we are willing to labor for their attainment, If Southerners arouse themselves they can attain them all, or else dissolve the Union, If they will do neither the one nor the other before that day, why we, for our part, will decline to urge them further; we bave no idea of making a Cassandra of ourselves, and disturbing a sleeping congregation with our dismal vaticinatory shricks, It is sad to be always on the losing side; and we have had martyrdom enough, After the —— day of aforesaid, therefore, if we find the cause of the South still looking downward; if the people are seen still submitting to purchase slaves at eleven times their proper price; if the stigma of probibitioo against buying and selling slaves in the Federal capital is still carried contentedly on the brow of the South, as if it were an honorable scar—why, in that case, we shall go North, and become an Abolitionist,’’ That the ‘‘cause of the South’ will still be “looking downward” in the estimation of Mitchell, “after the —— day of —— 186aforesaid,” or, what is the same thing, that bis paper will not be a money-making institution, at the close of that mysterious period, there is not much doubt, We may expect, therefore, in the course of afew years to hear of him preaching Abolitionism at the North, Mitohell has every qualification for a capital Abolitionist. His mind is of that peculiar cast which leads him into extremes upon any side he may espouse, and bis style will exactly suit either the Fire-eaters or the Abolltionistsa. To be the one or the other he has but to change names, and as blowing for the former is not likely to pay him very heavy dividends, it is more than likely be will carry out his threat, and “go North and become an Abolitionist.”’ Martin GaLiacuenr, who was banished from San Francieco by the Vigilance Committee, and sent out of the country on the bark Yankee, has recovered $3,000 damages, against the owners of the bark, for the tort. Judge Hoffman, in rendering the decision, says it is important that ehip owners should Jearn that in American vessels the laws of the United States are supreme; that the ocean is not to be the scene, nor American vessels the instruments, for execating the decrees of illegal bodies of men, who may for the time usurp the laws on shore.

Soon after Dr. J. . Forney, the Indian Superintendent, came into . this territory, he caused the children thus res cued to be gathered together. There are fourteen of them, from the ages of four to seven of both sexes, all in the care of Mr. Hamblio at Fort Clara. They are all comfortably clothed, land attend sehool, and in the spring will be sent to their relatives, if avy can be found, .

My mind becomes pervaded with it. Then the effurt which I make is what the people are . pleased to call the fruit of genius.

Webster, a few words from yeu would do so . much to awaken public attention to it’’ “If . there be euch weight io my words as you repre. . sent, itis becauee Ido not allow myself to. . speak on any subject till I have imbued my . mind with it.” Demosthenes was once urged to speak on a . great and sudden emergency. “Iam uot prepared,” said he, and obstinately refused. . The law of labor is equally binding on ge-. nius and mediocrity. New York anv Bostox.—The wealth of the two cities of New York and Boston amounts to eight hundred millions of dollars—New York . having $525,000,000 ; Boston $275,000,000, or a little more than one-half that uf New York. . The property of Boston is one hundred millions . more than that of Philadelphia, and nearly . . three times that of Baltimore. It is said that . .

War expresses the opinion that the proposed . military occupation of Sonora and Chibuabua, . . so far from requiring any increase of the army, . will have exactly the opposite effect. But it . appears that several Mexicanos have gone back . to Mexico to resist, or to organize a resistance to the oecupation of Sonora and Chihuahua by . our troops, according to the recommendation in the President’s message. .

Her husband left Englaod several years sivec, and came to the New World—she knew not whither. Being desirous of rejoining him, she took ship at Liverpool for one of our Eastern ports, and came over, Learning that he was probably in Australia, she went thither on a long aud perilous passage, arriving there only to learn that no such person wasa dweller at that end of the earth. With hope still in ber heart, she eailed from Melbourue to Sao Francisco. Failing there to hear of her truant spouse, she despaired of success, and reluctantly decided to abandon him for lost, and return by way of the overland route and the west to ber former homein England. On alighting from the cars in this city, last evening, almost the first person she encountered was her long absent lord. Your readers may imagine the joy of the poor woman at meeting the object of her long and wearisome search over far off lands and oceans, and amid countless hardships and dangers, at a place where she had never expected it, and when hope itself had ceased to . guide her pathway. Aw Extraorpinary Case.—A_ correspondent of the Stockton Republican, writing from Loviog’s Ferry, San Joaquin river, relates the following extraordinary affair ; Mr. Maloy, a native of Kentucky, aged about twenty-eight years, who resides in this vicinity and who eerved in Walker’s first filibustering expedition, has been afflicted for about twelve mouths witb a tumor in his left breast, extending from the fourth rib to the collar bone. It had the puleation of all the other symptoms of aneurism. For the last two months bis breathing had become so laborious that life wasa burden to him. Last week Dr. Riddell, of Bear Valley, made a deep incision in the lower part of the tumor, and after a pint of thick, yellow matter was discharged, he succeeded in extracting a mosket ball. It had entered from the back, a little below the shoulder blade. The most curious circumstance in the case is, that the patient has no idea in what battle be received the shot. He can only remember that be at one time,in Nicaragua, experienced a smarting burning sensation in his left shoulder; but ashe slept on the sand, in the open air, and had no change of clothes for along time he did not discover the cause. The patient is rapidly recovering. Mason Emory Sare.—We are happy to state, on the authority of Maj. Gillespie, who has recent private advices from the Atlantic States, that Maj.

Register. hie safety and that of bis THE NEVADA DEMOCRAT, . NEVADA, CALIFORNIA, WEDNESDAY MORNING, JANUARY 26, 1859. Shooting Affray at Omega. Omxeoa, Jan. 17th 1859. Editor Democrat:—Our usually qniet town was thrown into great excitement on Wednesday evening, Jan. 12th. The difficulty commenaced at Mr. Geo. May’s dancing school, between James Ferguson, (commonly known as Limber Jim) and Chas. G. Fisk. Fisk bad taken dis place on the floor to dauce, when Jim came up to him, and after indulging in some abusive language to Fisk, pushed him aside and took his place on the floor; some harsh words ensued between them, and Limber Jim kicked Fisk in the breast. Jimis much the larger of the two, and able to handle half a dozen such men as Fiek. After this ecourrence Fisk went to his house, as is supposed, and armed himself with a pistol. The parties met shortly after, in front of Mr. Edward’s store, when Fisk fired two sbots at Jim, each of which took effect in his right thigh, Fisk said he bad no wish to kill Limber Jim, but he intended to fix that leg so he could not use it quite so handy in future, Fisk immediately surrendered himself, but before a warrant could be issned he left the scene of excitement, and took up his quarters with a friend, a little outoftown. He was found about one o’clock inthe morning by Constable Smith, and brought before Justice Rugg, when he gave bondsin the sum of $1,000 to appear on Friday the 14th, to answer to the charge of assault with a deadly weapon, with intent to kill, On Friday morning he appeared for examination and asked for further time to proeure counsel, which was granted until Monday the 17th, at 9 o’clock a.m. But about 8 o’clock Sunday evening, as Constable Smith was walking to his (Smith’s) house, Fisk placed his right foot in front of Smith and tripped him down, causing him to fall rather hard on the snow and ice, and then bidding him good evening, he started on the rua, and it is thought by many, that he beat Soda Bill’s best time, As soon as Smith regained his feet, he drew his revolver and fired twice at Fisk, which hada tendeney to accelerate his steps, The last that was seen of him he was on the trail leading to Alpba, going at the top of his speed, crying, “fire in town,’’ and several miners living inthe vicinity of the trail came to town inquiring after the fire. It is believed that Limber Jim will soon recover, although he has now six wounds in bis leg—four made by the doctors in trying to extract the balls, bat they did not succeed in finding either of them. Yours, &c., RESIDENTER, John Mitchell's Programme. This miss-called “Irish Patriot,’”’ bas removed his paper, the Southern Citizen, from Knoxville, Tenn., to Washington city. The following ie his programme, taken from the salutatory at the new locality, for future operations : “Tirst. Repeal of all laws prohibiting the foreign slave-trade, or imposing penalties thereon, Seeond. Repeal of the law abolishing the slave trade in the District of Columbia. Third. Absolute resistance to everything in the nature of a Compromise between North and South, Fourth. Peremptory demand for the intervention of Congress, President and Supreme Court for slavery in all Territories, the moment a slavebolder brings his slaves there; in other words, intervention by the authorities to sustain the law and prevent robbery, “These four items include all, Up to a certain date—say till the ——— day of —-, 186-, we are willing to labor for their attainment, If Southerners arouse themselves they can attain them all, or else dissolve the Union, If they will do neither the one nor the other before that day, why we, for our part, will decline to urge them further; we bave no idea of making a Cassandra of ourselves, and disturbing a sleeping congregation with our dismal vaticinatory shricks, It is sad to be always on the losing side; and we have had martyrdom enough, After the —— day of aforesaid, therefore, if we find the cause of the South still looking downward; if the people are seen still submitting to purchase slaves at eleven times their proper price; if the stigma of probibitioo against buying and selling slaves in the Federal capital is still carried contentedly on the brow of the South, as if it were an honorable scar—why, in that case, we shall go North, and become an Abolitionist,’’ That the ‘‘cause of the South’ will still be “looking downward” in the estimation of Mitchell, “after the —— day of —— 186aforesaid,” or, what is the same thing, that bis paper will not be a money-making institution, at the close of that mysterious period, there is not much doubt, We may expect, therefore, in the course of afew years to hear of him preaching Abolitionism at the North, Mitohell has every qualification for a capital Abolitionist. His mind is of that peculiar cast which leads him into extremes upon any side he may espouse, and bis style will exactly suit either the Fire-eaters or the Abolltionistsa. To be the one or the other he has but to change names, and as blowing for the former is not likely to pay him very heavy dividends, it is more than likely be will carry out his threat, and “go North and become an Abolitionist.”’ Martin GaLiacuenr, who was banished from San Francieco by the Vigilance Committee, and sent out of the country on the bark Yankee, has recovered $3,000 damages, against the owners of the bark, for the tort. Judge Hoffman, in rendering the decision, says it is important that ehip owners should Jearn that in American vessels the laws of the United States are supreme; that the ocean is not to be the scene, nor American vessels the instruments, for execating the decrees of illegal bodies of men, who may for the time usurp the laws on shore.
