NEVADA, WEDNESDAY, JAN. 4, 1860. Bayorort’s Lawrsr axp Ferm Boox.—We are indebted to Messrs. H. H. Batieroft & Co,, publishers, San Francisco, for a copy of the above work, just issued from the press, The work contains 763 pages, bound inlaw form, and is designed for the use of business and professional men, eounty and town officers, miners, mechanics, and others, and adapted to the laws and latest judicial decisions of California, Oregon, and Washington Territory. Mr. D,P, Belkoap, a lawyer of San Francisco, is the author. It contains instructions, giving the law upon ell ordinary business transactions, such as deeds, mortgages, bills of exchange, promissory notes, billeof sale, landlord and tenant, mechanic’s liens, mines, mining and water rights, ete., with numerous forms for practical use. By reading the instructions, and the ansistanae of the forms given in the book, any man of common intelligence can draw up legal papers relating to all ordinary business matters. The work is for sale at the book store of J. E, Hamlin, Broad street, Nevada. Tax Conrrottersnir.—A Sacramento correspondent says that there is likely to be a controversy between 8, 8S. Brooka, Controller elect, and A. R. Meloney, who was elected in 1858, to fills vacancy, Meloney entered apon the duties of his office one year sgo, and he contends that he waselected for two years, and it is bia intention to bold over until next year, unlesa ousted by the Supreme Court. According to the decision of the Supreme Court in the contest between Meloney and Whitman, the former would certainly be entitled to hold the office another year, But that decision was rendered by Judges Barnett aud Terry, Judge Field dissenting, and as the two former bave left the bench, it is quite probable the decision would be reversed shoulda similar question again oome before the Supreme Court. ‘Manancuoity Ovcurnexom.—We learn from the Grass Valley National that an unfortunate occurrence took plece near the Globe Ranch, about seven miles from Grass Valley last Thursday night. It appears that two miners, partners who occupied the same oabit, were expecting a visit from some thieving Indians, and posted themselves in ambush to pick off the expected visitors, By some means one of the parties mistook his partner, in the dark, for an Indian, and fired upon him; the ball taking effect in the abdomen and killing bim inetantly. The name of the man killed was James Tooley. Dx. Samus J, May, died at bisitesidence in Bacramento, last Weduesday evening, of eonsumption. He came to California in 1849, entered inte business at Sacramento, and has.reaided there ever since. He has been connected editorially witha number of Sacramento papers, and was employed on the Sacramento Bee. from the time that paper wae started up to bis death. Dr, May was: thirty-two years old, and leaves a wife but no children, ARRIVAL or THR Cuamrion.—The new iron ateamer Champion, of the Vanderbilt line, arrived at San Francisoo, by way of Oape Horn, on Mondey morning, having been out seventy days. The trip round bas been made in.good time, aod it is believed that this steamer ‘will prove one of the fastest on the Pacific. We learn from's telegraphic dispatch received here, that the Champion leaves on the Sth iunt., for Panama, with the U. 8, Mail. ene ren meen nee abe ee thee tome, Restorep To Crrizeneuir.—Goys Weller bas restored to citizenship Geo. N. Morris, convieted in Nevada county itt 1855, of an assault on a Chinaman with intent to commit murder, and sentenced to four yearn in the State Prison. It will be remembered that Morria kept bar in # Chinese house on Broad ‘street, and atabbed and dangerously wounded a Chinaman for in. ferfering in some of his domestio arrangements, Tas Heorxaay.—Thia publication for Deeemiber is embellished with a likeness of Wm. D. M. Howard, one of the early California pioneers; also, of the Golden Bloomeria, a beautifal California flower, It also contains a wellwritten article upon the career of those great English lawyers and rivals, Coke and Bacon, and other articles of interest. A Variery.—Among the articled found in dead letters, and advertised to be gold at Washington, are a cornfield hoe, pocket bibles, an ear trumpet, nipple glasses, cigar cases, false teeth, night caps, chemises, under sleeves, cateebiems, etc, From this list, it will be inferred that Unele Sam's mail bags are used for a vatlety of parposes. Eastern Parers.—We are indebted to J. B, Hamlin, of Brond Street Book Store, for copies of the New York Herald, Tribune, Philadelphia Press, Boston Journal, and St. Louis Repibli. ean, received by the last steamer. Retornep.—Mr. J. V. Watson, an old regi. dent of Nevada, returned on the last steamer from the East, where he has been on a visit to bis old home. . vi Bonoor At Honny Laxe.—A school has lately been established at Susanville, in Honey Lake Valley, urider the instruction of Dr. Stathinius, recontly of Col. Lander’s corps of engineers. The number of pupils attending is forty-two, This isa indication of the growth and prosperity of that section of country, and speaks well for the . intelligence and pablic spirit of the inhabitants, place ng a bility of the route. The cost of making such s survey will be some $600; the most of this amount has already been raised, and we presume there will be no difficulty jh) shaking op the balance. The route from Folsom to Auburn bas already been ascertained to be practicable, and Sherman Day is now engaged in making up bis report and estimste of the cost. Mr, Elliott is familiar with that route. and haying traveled over the country between Aubura and Nevada, is satisfied that there is no serious obstacle in continuing the road to this, place. The Sacramento, Auburn aud Nevada Railroad Co,, already incorporated, are anxious to continue the road on to Nevada, and will do so with reasonable assistance in this county, if the route is pronounced practicable by competent engineers. former. Mr. agp survey fo fr svada, to ascertain She tid Experienced railroad men state that a road from Folsom to Nevada will be more valuable than # road between any other two pointe in the State. It would command all the trade and travel of Nevada and Placer counties, northern El Dorado, southern, Sierra, and a,portion of eastern Yuba, to eny nothing of the prospects of an extensive trade with the people of the Eastern Slope, Tho population that would thus receive their supplies over the road cannot be less at present than 50,000; aiid should the Washoe mines prove as profitable as expected, the road would have a population of at least 100,000 inhabitunts to sustain it, would aleo be eonsiderable retarn freight, such as lumber, fire-wodd, etc,, all that would be needed to supply the cities below. Fire-wood, we believe, is worth some six or eight dollars a cord in San Frausitco, and as inexhaustible quantities could be delivered on the line of the road at three dollars.a cord, itwould perftaps pay to carry it by railroad and schooners to the Bay city. The company have taken all these advantages into consideration, and have come to the conclusion that the profits of a road to Nevada would pay good pér éentage upon the cost of construction, without taking inte consideration the increase of business which invariably follows the opening of railroad communication. There Shonld the route be pronounced practicable, of whieh there is no doubt, the Sacramento, Auburn and Nevada Co, will immediately increase their capital stock to an amonnt sufflicient to continue the road to this place, when aubecription books will be opened in this county; and provided a reasonable amoant is taken here there will be no difficulty in making up the balance in other places, as capitalists would sonsider it a good investment, The cost of constructing the entire road will probably be about $2,000,000—from Folsom to Auburn $800,000, and from Auburn to Nevada $1,200,000—and in any event will not exceed $2,500,000. The exact cost cannot be ascertained until w locating survey iamade. If the enterprise is taken hold of in the right spirit and with proper exertion, we have no hesitation in saying that a large proportion of the means necessaty to constrict the work will be subseribed in this county. The road would double, and perhaps treble, tho value of property in this and many other towns in the county; and property holders would thus be interested in subscribing liberal!y to the stock, The route from Folsom, through Auburn, to Nevada presents many advantages over that by way of Lincolo; the principal of whieh is, that the grade is more equally distributed over the Auburn is situated at an altitude of 1000 feet above Folsom, while Lincoln and Folsom are on nearly the same level, The altitude of Nevada is about 1100 above Auburn, and consequently must bz over 2000 feet above Lincoln. As the (wo places are about equally distant from Nevada, it will be seen that the grade on the Auburn route isonly about half that on the other, This difference of grade will make & material differeuce In the oost of working the road, Highty feet is, considered a heavy grade for a railroad, Could the grade be equally distributed from Auburn to Nevada, the rise would be about forty feet to the mile; but asthe grade will probably have to be reversed in some places, and in other places run on 4 level, for half of the distauoe, the grade would approximate eighty feet even on this route, and of necessity would eogusiderably exceed. that on the route from Lincoln.We leartied yesterday that the necessary amount for making the preliminary suivey bad en raised, and Mr. Elliott informs us that be shall commence the work to-day if the weather permite, EXcirement iN MaryLanp.—The Baltimore American, of Nov, 30th, says thata letter was picked up on the Sunday previous, in Talbot county, which purported to give the outlines of an extended ingurrectionary movement in Marylaud and Virginia, It states that over 12,000 men are engaged in the orusade, who ean inatantly recognize each other by a look of the eye, whenever they meet, The. plot contemplates the capture of Baltimore by the aid of 40,000 men from the North, the tiure to be fixed by a convention of the crusaders to be held in that city, The name and date of the letter had been torn off. The document created great excitement.io Talbot eouaty. MurpDERgD BY INDIANS.—A correspondent of the Humboldt Times of Dec. 24th, writing from Mattole Valley, dates that two men from Sacramento, whose names are not given, had been murdered by the Indians. Suspicion having arisen, a . few, of the citizens of Mattole formed themselves into.m.company and went out to ascertain the facts. The second diy out they took two prisoners and Killed one Indian,’ From their pritohers they learnjed full particulars concerning the murder of the men, and succeeded in recovering one rifle, a powder flask, some blankets, and other articles belong‘ing to the murdered men. They ascertained that A Leorparor ix Trousis.—dJ.

The party, after.taking these prisoners, organized and pro+ House had not succeeded in electing a Speaker. Mr. Allen, the Clerk of the last House, called the Representatives to order, according to the veal custom, and one ballot was ‘takén fot Speaker—the Republicans voting mostly for Sherman, of Ohio, and Grow, of Pa., the Administration Democrats for Bocok, of Ve., while the votes of the Southern Opposition and of the anti-Lecompton Democrats were scattered. . After the first ballot, Mr. Grow, who received a less number of votes than Sherman, withdrew his name as a candidate, in accordance with an arrangement made in # Republican caucus the evesing before, that whoever received the most votes on the Grst ballot should be deemed the Repablican nomiaee, Mr. Clark, of Missouri, then offered the following : “Whereas, certain members of this House, now in nomination for Speaker, did endorre and recommend the book called ‘The Impending Crisis of the South, and bow to meet it;’ and the sentiments of that book being incendiary and hostile to the domestic peace of the country, bo member who. recommended or endorsed it is fit to bo Speaker of the House.’ An exciting debate followed, pending which the House adjourned. The debate was continved on. the 6th,.without any vote being taken for Speaker. On the 7th, the debate was kept upon Clark’s resolution until a late hour, when a second ballot for Speaker was had which resulted as follows: Sherman, 107; Boeoek, 88; Gilmer, 22; soaticring, 14. Necessary to a choice, 116. The anti-Lecompton members from Llinois, and Montgomery of Pa., voted for Bocock. Thus matters stood at the latest advices, Neither the Southern Opposition nor the aati-Lecompton Democrats showed any inclination to vote for either the Administration or Republican candidate, and probably several weeks of the session bave been con¥amed in ineffectual efforts to organize, In the Senate, nothing of importance had been transacted. Mr. Mason, of Va., idtroduced a resolution providing for the appointment of a committee, to inquire into and report all the facts connested with the affair at Harper's Ferty. The debate on the resolution was conducted iu a dignified manner, compared with the disgraceful scenes enacted in the House. Tho leadiug Republican Senators having expressed & determination to support and vote for the reeolution, Mr. Mallory, of Fis., said that since it had been shorn of its moral effect, he was quite indifferent as to whether it passed or not, The resolution was still pending before the Senate, F From the manner in which the diséfsion of the slavery question was started in the House, it is safe to conclude that the nigger will form the principal topic for all the speeches made durin ent session, It was expected that th wonld be an unusually exciting one, and that many disgraceful ecenes would occur; in these respects we arc not likely to be disappointed, [For the Democrat.} TEMPERANCE. While looking at the movements of the Dashaways of other cities and towns of our State, I have at the same time expected one in our not exceedingly temperate city of Nevada. Have you observed, Messrs. Editors, the general disposition of many of our citizens to indulge in a glass of “something to drink?” I do not have reference to loafers and topers, but the more respectable portion of our citizens. ‘Come let’s have a drink,” is almost the first thing proposed by some one of a number of individuals when collected together. This, while it speaks well of the social feeling (it being considered a mark of sociability) of our citizens, yet it also speak badly for the high moral sentiment of this class of citizens. At the same time so much good can be done by'reforming the truly dissipated, no little good can he done by improving the habits of those who may be censidered the more moral, intelligent and important portion of our citizens; and I think a very radical change could be brought about by a temperance movement in Nevada, as wellas elsewhere. We have too many whiskey shops, and no evil can result by killing offa fewofthem. Drinking whiskey should only be the occupation of him who is all animal, and not the intellectual man. At the same time we have instances of men, whose character for motality and virtue are above reproach, occasionally taking a social glass at a public bar; yet we can but think there is a lowering of their dignity by so doing, not only in the estimation of others, but themselves. This is about the first of a new year, now let’s all swear off-break up half the whiskey shops in town--improve ourselves, and thereby improve others, and above all stop this, “COMB LET'S TAKE A DRINK.” An Ixcenpury AprgaL.—An infamous document, in the form of a circular, bas lately come to light in New York, many prominent Irishmen in that city having each received a copy. The copies received were postmarked in some cases at Richmond, Va., in others at Memphis, Tenn., in others again at Montgomery Alabama. It is addressed “To the Irish Friends of the ina in the Northern Cities,”’ and reads as falows: “FeLiow-Citizens: You who have always been true to the constitution and the South—who have never ees yourselves to the level of the African race, as the dirty freesoilers do—you are aware that the borders of Virginia have been profaned by the tread of the freesoil assassin. The South looks to its Irish friends in the large free cities to effect a diversion in its favor; and for this purpose the United Constitutional Irish Association has been formed, of which some of you are (and doubtless all will be) members, In the great cities, prominent freesoilers and abolitionists own large factories, stores sod annem in which vast sums (made out of the South) are invested. This fact: furnishes a means scene See agressions on the South; and the Irish friends of the South are relied on to make the check . effective. is. proverbially timid.— Whenever a hay stack or cotton gin is burned at the South by freesoil emissaries, let a large factory or a plethoric store, or an immense gr in New York or Boston, be given tothe flames. ‘To make this course safe, your Association must be true to itself, and its principles; method, caution, your duoble secresy, will insure the .

It was suggested ia come quarters that this document was got up by the Abolitionists as a ruse, but the fact that the copies reeeived were mailed in the Southern cities precludes this sapposition.

During the day salutes were fired by the friends of the Union, flags were displayed from the public buildings and shipping, and an immense mass meeting was held at Jayne’s Hall in the evening, which was presided over by J. R. Ingersoll. A series of resolutions were ad , expressing sympathy with Virginie, disavowing any right or wish to interfere with the domestic institutions of sister States, reprobating in the strongest terms all attemps to excite servile insurrection, approving of the recent demonstration of fatten in Virginia, and assuring the citizens of the South that there exists among the people of Pennsylvania a determined spirit to assert and maintain the Constitution and the rights ofthe States under it, and asking a return of confidence and that dignified moderation which should accompany confidence and patriotic sympathy, Major French, agent of the Treasury Department, for the extension of the Capitol buildings, was arrested in New York, Dec. 4th, by a deputy U.8.

NEVADA, WEDNESDAY, JAN. 4, 1860. Bayorort’s Lawrsr axp Ferm Boox.—We are indebted to Messrs. H. H. Batieroft & Co,, publishers, San Francisco, for a copy of the above work, just issued from the press, The work contains 763 pages, bound inlaw form, and is designed for the use of business and professional men, eounty and town officers, miners, mechanics, and others, and adapted to the laws and latest judicial decisions of California, Oregon, and Washington Territory. Mr. D,P, Belkoap, a lawyer of San Francisco, is the author. It contains instructions, giving the law upon ell ordinary business transactions, such as deeds, mortgages, bills of exchange, promissory notes, billeof sale, landlord and tenant, mechanic’s liens, mines, mining and water rights, ete., with numerous forms for practical use. By reading the instructions, and the ansistanae of the forms given in the book, any man of common intelligence can draw up legal papers relating to all ordinary business matters. The work is for sale at the book store of J. E, Hamlin, Broad street, Nevada. Tax Conrrottersnir.—A Sacramento correspondent says that there is likely to be a controversy between 8, 8S. Brooka, Controller elect, and A. R. Meloney, who was elected in 1858, to fills vacancy, Meloney entered apon the duties of his office one year sgo, and he contends that he waselected for two years, and it is bia intention to bold over until next year, unlesa ousted by the Supreme Court. According to the decision of the Supreme Court in the contest between Meloney and Whitman, the former would certainly be entitled to hold the office another year, But that decision was rendered by Judges Barnett aud Terry, Judge Field dissenting, and as the two former bave left the bench, it is quite probable the decision would be reversed shoulda similar question again oome before the Supreme Court. ‘Manancuoity Ovcurnexom.—We learn from the Grass Valley National that an unfortunate occurrence took plece near the Globe Ranch, about seven miles from Grass Valley last Thursday night. It appears that two miners, partners who occupied the same oabit, were expecting a visit from some thieving Indians, and posted themselves in ambush to pick off the expected visitors, By some means one of the parties mistook his partner, in the dark, for an Indian, and fired upon him; the ball taking effect in the abdomen and killing bim inetantly. The name of the man killed was James Tooley. Dx. Samus J, May, died at bisitesidence in Bacramento, last Weduesday evening, of eonsumption. He came to California in 1849, entered inte business at Sacramento, and has.reaided there ever since. He has been connected editorially witha number of Sacramento papers, and was employed on the Sacramento Bee. from the time that paper wae started up to bis death. Dr, May was: thirty-two years old, and leaves a wife but no children, ARRIVAL or THR Cuamrion.—The new iron ateamer Champion, of the Vanderbilt line, arrived at San Francisoo, by way of Oape Horn, on Mondey morning, having been out seventy days. The trip round bas been made in.good time, aod it is believed that this steamer ‘will prove one of the fastest on the Pacific. We learn from's telegraphic dispatch received here, that the Champion leaves on the Sth iunt., for Panama, with the U. 8, Mail. ene ren meen nee abe ee thee tome, Restorep To Crrizeneuir.—Goys Weller bas restored to citizenship Geo. N. Morris, convieted in Nevada county itt 1855, of an assault on a Chinaman with intent to commit murder, and sentenced to four yearn in the State Prison. It will be remembered that Morria kept bar in # Chinese house on Broad ‘street, and atabbed and dangerously wounded a Chinaman for in. ferfering in some of his domestio arrangements, Tas Heorxaay.—Thia publication for Deeemiber is embellished with a likeness of Wm. D. M. Howard, one of the early California pioneers; also, of the Golden Bloomeria, a beautifal California flower, It also contains a wellwritten article upon the career of those great English lawyers and rivals, Coke and Bacon, and other articles of interest. A Variery.—Among the articled found in dead letters, and advertised to be gold at Washington, are a cornfield hoe, pocket bibles, an ear trumpet, nipple glasses, cigar cases, false teeth, night caps, chemises, under sleeves, cateebiems, etc, From this list, it will be inferred that Unele Sam's mail bags are used for a vatlety of parposes. Eastern Parers.—We are indebted to J. B, Hamlin, of Brond Street Book Store, for copies of the New York Herald, Tribune, Philadelphia Press, Boston Journal, and St. Louis Repibli. ean, received by the last steamer. Retornep.—Mr. J. V. Watson, an old regi. dent of Nevada, returned on the last steamer from the East, where he has been on a visit to bis old home. . vi Bonoor At Honny Laxe.—A school has lately been established at Susanville, in Honey Lake Valley, urider the instruction of Dr. Stathinius, recontly of Col. Lander’s corps of engineers. The number of pupils attending is forty-two, This isa indication of the growth and prosperity of that section of country, and speaks well for the . intelligence and pablic spirit of the inhabitants, place ng a bility of the route. The cost of making such s survey will be some $600; the most of this amount has already been raised, and we presume there will be no difficulty jh) shaking op the balance. The route from Folsom to Auburn bas already been ascertained to be practicable, and Sherman Day is now engaged in making up bis report and estimste of the cost. Mr, Elliott is familiar with that route. and haying traveled over the country between Aubura and Nevada, is satisfied that there is no serious obstacle in continuing the road to this, place. The Sacramento, Auburn aud Nevada Railroad Co,, already incorporated, are anxious to continue the road on to Nevada, and will do so with reasonable assistance in this county, if the route is pronounced practicable by competent engineers. former. Mr. agp survey fo fr svada, to ascertain She tid Experienced railroad men state that a road from Folsom to Nevada will be more valuable than # road between any other two pointe in the State. It would command all the trade and travel of Nevada and Placer counties, northern El Dorado, southern, Sierra, and a,portion of eastern Yuba, to eny nothing of the prospects of an extensive trade with the people of the Eastern Slope, Tho population that would thus receive their supplies over the road cannot be less at present than 50,000; aiid should the Washoe mines prove as profitable as expected, the road would have a population of at least 100,000 inhabitunts to sustain it, would aleo be eonsiderable retarn freight, such as lumber, fire-wodd, etc,, all that would be needed to supply the cities below. Fire-wood, we believe, is worth some six or eight dollars a cord in San Frausitco, and as inexhaustible quantities could be delivered on the line of the road at three dollars.a cord, itwould perftaps pay to carry it by railroad and schooners to the Bay city. The company have taken all these advantages into consideration, and have come to the conclusion that the profits of a road to Nevada would pay good pér éentage upon the cost of construction, without taking inte consideration the increase of business which invariably follows the opening of railroad communication. There Shonld the route be pronounced practicable, of whieh there is no doubt, the Sacramento, Auburn and Nevada Co, will immediately increase their capital stock to an amonnt sufflicient to continue the road to this place, when aubecription books will be opened in this county; and provided a reasonable amoant is taken here there will be no difficulty in making up the balance in other places, as capitalists would sonsider it a good investment, The cost of constructing the entire road will probably be about $2,000,000—from Folsom to Auburn $800,000, and from Auburn to Nevada $1,200,000—and in any event will not exceed $2,500,000. The exact cost cannot be ascertained until w locating survey iamade. If the enterprise is taken hold of in the right spirit and with proper exertion, we have no hesitation in saying that a large proportion of the means necessaty to constrict the work will be subseribed in this county. The road would double, and perhaps treble, tho value of property in this and many other towns in the county; and property holders would thus be interested in subscribing liberal!y to the stock, The route from Folsom, through Auburn, to Nevada presents many advantages over that by way of Lincolo; the principal of whieh is, that the grade is more equally distributed over the Auburn is situated at an altitude of 1000 feet above Folsom, while Lincoln and Folsom are on nearly the same level, The altitude of Nevada is about 1100 above Auburn, and consequently must bz over 2000 feet above Lincoln. As the (wo places are about equally distant from Nevada, it will be seen that the grade on the Auburn route isonly about half that on the other, This difference of grade will make & material differeuce In the oost of working the road, Highty feet is, considered a heavy grade for a railroad, Could the grade be equally distributed from Auburn to Nevada, the rise would be about forty feet to the mile; but asthe grade will probably have to be reversed in some places, and in other places run on 4 level, for half of the distauoe, the grade would approximate eighty feet even on this route, and of necessity would eogusiderably exceed. that on the route from Lincoln.We leartied yesterday that the necessary amount for making the preliminary suivey bad en raised, and Mr. Elliott informs us that be shall commence the work to-day if the weather permite, EXcirement iN MaryLanp.—The Baltimore American, of Nov, 30th, says thata letter was picked up on the Sunday previous, in Talbot county, which purported to give the outlines of an extended ingurrectionary movement in Marylaud and Virginia, It states that over 12,000 men are engaged in the orusade, who ean inatantly recognize each other by a look of the eye, whenever they meet, The. plot contemplates the capture of Baltimore by the aid of 40,000 men from the North, the tiure to be fixed by a convention of the crusaders to be held in that city, The name and date of the letter had been torn off. The document created great excitement.io Talbot eouaty. MurpDERgD BY INDIANS.—A correspondent of the Humboldt Times of Dec. 24th, writing from Mattole Valley, dates that two men from Sacramento, whose names are not given, had been murdered by the Indians. Suspicion having arisen, a . few, of the citizens of Mattole formed themselves into.m.company and went out to ascertain the facts. The second diy out they took two prisoners and Killed one Indian,’ From their pritohers they learnjed full particulars concerning the murder of the men, and succeeded in recovering one rifle, a powder flask, some blankets, and other articles belong‘ing to the murdered men.

The party, after.taking these prisoners, organized and pro+ House had not succeeded in electing a Speaker. Mr. Allen, the Clerk of the last House, called the Representatives to order, according to the veal custom, and one ballot was ‘takén fot Speaker—the Republicans voting mostly for Sherman, of Ohio, and Grow, of Pa., the Administration Democrats for Bocok, of Ve., while the votes of the Southern Opposition and of the anti-Lecompton Democrats were scattered. . After the first ballot, Mr. Grow, who received a less number of votes than Sherman, withdrew his name as a candidate, in accordance with an arrangement made in # Republican caucus the evesing before, that whoever received the most votes on the Grst ballot should be deemed the Repablican nomiaee, Mr. Clark, of Missouri, then offered the following : “Whereas, certain members of this House, now in nomination for Speaker, did endorre and recommend the book called ‘The Impending Crisis of the South, and bow to meet it;’ and the sentiments of that book being incendiary and hostile to the domestic peace of the country, bo member who. recommended or endorsed it is fit to bo Speaker of the House.’ An exciting debate followed, pending which the House adjourned. The debate was continved on. the 6th,.without any vote being taken for Speaker. On the 7th, the debate was kept upon Clark’s resolution until a late hour, when a second ballot for Speaker was had which resulted as follows: Sherman, 107; Boeoek, 88; Gilmer, 22; soaticring, 14. Necessary to a choice, 116. The anti-Lecompton members from Llinois, and Montgomery of Pa., voted for Bocock. Thus matters stood at the latest advices, Neither the Southern Opposition nor the aati-Lecompton Democrats showed any inclination to vote for either the Administration or Republican candidate, and probably several weeks of the session bave been con¥amed in ineffectual efforts to organize, In the Senate, nothing of importance had been transacted. Mr. Mason, of Va., idtroduced a resolution providing for the appointment of a committee, to inquire into and report all the facts connested with the affair at Harper's Ferty. The debate on the resolution was conducted iu a dignified manner, compared with the disgraceful scenes enacted in the House. Tho leadiug Republican Senators having expressed & determination to support and vote for the reeolution, Mr. Mallory, of Fis., said that since it had been shorn of its moral effect, he was quite indifferent as to whether it passed or not, The resolution was still pending before the Senate, F From the manner in which the diséfsion of the slavery question was started in the House, it is safe to conclude that the nigger will form the principal topic for all the speeches made durin ent session, It was expected that th wonld be an unusually exciting one, and that many disgraceful ecenes would occur; in these respects we arc not likely to be disappointed, [For the Democrat.} TEMPERANCE. While looking at the movements of the Dashaways of other cities and towns of our State, I have at the same time expected one in our not exceedingly temperate city of Nevada. Have you observed, Messrs. Editors, the general disposition of many of our citizens to indulge in a glass of “something to drink?” I do not have reference to loafers and topers, but the more respectable portion of our citizens. ‘Come let’s have a drink,” is almost the first thing proposed by some one of a number of individuals when collected together. This, while it speaks well of the social feeling (it being considered a mark of sociability) of our citizens, yet it also speak badly for the high moral sentiment of this class of citizens. At the same time so much good can be done by'reforming the truly dissipated, no little good can he done by improving the habits of those who may be censidered the more moral, intelligent and important portion of our citizens; and I think a very radical change could be brought about by a temperance movement in Nevada, as wellas elsewhere. We have too many whiskey shops, and no evil can result by killing offa fewofthem. Drinking whiskey should only be the occupation of him who is all animal, and not the intellectual man. At the same time we have instances of men, whose character for motality and virtue are above reproach, occasionally taking a social glass at a public bar; yet we can but think there is a lowering of their dignity by so doing, not only in the estimation of others, but themselves. This is about the first of a new year, now let’s all swear off-break up half the whiskey shops in town--improve ourselves, and thereby improve others, and above all stop this, “COMB LET'S TAKE A DRINK.” An Ixcenpury AprgaL.—An infamous document, in the form of a circular, bas lately come to light in New York, many prominent Irishmen in that city having each received a copy. The copies received were postmarked in some cases at Richmond, Va., in others at Memphis, Tenn., in others again at Montgomery Alabama. It is addressed “To the Irish Friends of the ina in the Northern Cities,”’ and reads as falows: “FeLiow-Citizens: You who have always been true to the constitution and the South—who have never ees yourselves to the level of the African race, as the dirty freesoilers do—you are aware that the borders of Virginia have been profaned by the tread of the freesoil assassin. The South looks to its Irish friends in the large free cities to effect a diversion in its favor; and for this purpose the United Constitutional Irish Association has been formed, of which some of you are (and doubtless all will be) members, In the great cities, prominent freesoilers and abolitionists own large factories, stores sod annem in which vast sums (made out of the South) are invested. This fact: furnishes a means scene See agressions on the South; and the Irish friends of the South are relied on to make the check . effective. is. proverbially timid.— Whenever a hay stack or cotton gin is burned at the South by freesoil emissaries, let a large factory or a plethoric store, or an immense gr in New York or Boston, be given tothe flames. ‘To make this course safe, your Association must be true to itself, and its principles; method, caution, your duoble secresy, will insure the .

During the day salutes were fired by the friends of the Union, flags were displayed from the public buildings and shipping, and an immense mass meeting was held at Jayne’s Hall in the evening, which was presided over by J. R. Ingersoll. A series of resolutions were ad , expressing sympathy with Virginie, disavowing any right or wish to interfere with the domestic institutions of sister States, reprobating in the strongest terms all attemps to excite servile insurrection, approving of the recent demonstration of fatten in Virginia, and assuring the citizens of the South that there exists among the people of Pennsylvania a determined spirit to assert and maintain the Constitution and the rights ofthe States under it, and asking a return of confidence and that dignified moderation which should accompany confidence and patriotic sympathy, Major French, agent of the Treasury Department, for the extension of the Capitol buildings, was arrested in New York, Dec. 4th, by a deputy U.8.
