Orry Governaent.—We call the attention of our citizens to the report of the Board of Trus‘tees, and that of the City Treasurer, which will be found in another column. It will be seen that the total amount of expenditures since the present city government was organized, is $6, 341,79, Of this sum, $3,668,48 has been expended in the last six months in building bridges, (mostly to replace those destroyed by fire) grading the streets, and building the city prison; while the ordinary expenses for the same period has amounted to $2,119,04. The city debt, after deducting the cash in the hands of the Treasurer, is $4,671,79. The taxable property in the city amounts to about one million dollars, the tax on which, at one per cent, will be ten thousand dollars, This will be amply sufficient to pay up the present indebtedness, and defray the expenses of the city for the remainder of the fiscal year. Sractna.—The great quautity of snow and rain which has fallen during the past week, has rendered many of the roads in this county almost impassible, The Sacramento stages seldom get in until late in the night, and in some instances they have had to stop and come in the next day. Big Jake informed us the other day, that the bottom had fallen out of the road in many places between Grass Valley and Auburn, On Friday night last, two of the horses gotiations have been instituted by means of a special commission, to obtain from New Granada full indemnity, for injuries sustained by our citizens on the Isthmus, and satisfactory security ‘for the general interests of the United: States. In conclusion, the President says: In addressing to you my last annual message the occasion seems to me an appropriate one to express my. Congratulations in view of the ace, greatness, and felicity which the United tates now possess and enjoy. To point you to the state of the various departments of the Government, and of all the great branches of the public service, civil and military, in order to speak of the intelligence and the integrity which srvades the whole, would be to indicate but imperfeetly the administrative condition of the country, and the beneficial effects of that on the general welfare. el Nor would it suffice to say that the nation is actually at peace at home and abroad; that its through expecting to find some startling disclo. give more than an abstract of the document. sures in regard to Walker’s movements. A. Near one half of the message is devoted to Cuban patriot by the name Goicuria figures . the affairs of Kansas. The causes which have conspicuously in this matter, and for his own . lead to the difficulties in that territory are clearcredit he had better never have published the . ly set forth, and the policy of the Democratic correspondence. Three letters, purporting to . party in regard to the new territories, and the come from Walker to Goicuria, are published, . equality of the several States, is ably vindicatogether witha contract said to have been en-/ted. As soon as the act organizing the territotered into between Walker and one F, A.

The Orleans Flat stages have been taken off from that route, but communication is still kept open with Camptonville, Forest City and Alpha, sleighs having been substituted for stages on the lavter route, THEATRICAL.—The theatrical company which has been performing upon our boards for some five weeks past, closed their engagements on Saturday evening. The season on the whole, has been a successful one. For the past week the house has been but slimly attended, owing more, perhaps, to the bad weather, than from any lack of interest on the part of our citizens in the entertainments presented. The company having tendered Messi, Frisbie & Bain, proprietors of the theater, a complimentary benefit, on Monday evening, the house on that occasion was crowded to overflowing. The play of Don Cwsar de Bazan, went off in fine style, Mr. Warwick taking the character of Don Cwear, and Miss Demming as Maritana. Last evening was set apart for a complimentary benefit to Miss Demming, Mrs, McGowan, and Miss Louise, tendered by the ancient and honorable order of E Clampsus Vitus. We go to press at too early an hour to speak of the performances, The members of the Order were to appear in full regalia, and the attractions presented could not fail to bring a full house. Hurcures’ MaGazine.—This periodical is a truthful reflection of the mind of California, through the medium of its peculiar literature. Considering it only as a work of art, it is creditable to our new society; as a chronicle and re. pository of the current history of our State, and of its natural wondera, pursuits and modes of life, it is invaluable, both as a fund of pleasing and instructive reading for the present, and also for future reference, As a souvenir, it seems to us it would be to a most weleome messenger at the hearthstone, around which are gathered the hearts that beat for our coming. The cheap price at which it is furnished, places it within the reach of all, and a single stamp prepays it by mail to any part of the United States, The January number just issued, is full of interesting matter, discriptive of natural objects of interest abounding in California, amongst which is a graphic picture of the “Ripple-box water fall, Deer Creek,’’ a curiosity situated some nine miles from this place, and which has doubtless been visited by many of our citizens, ‘Hamlin and Welch are always furnished with a good supply of this work at their book stores, THE WEATHER,—The past week has been unusually stormy, Considerable snow has fallen in this place, but the most of it has been melted off by the rain, In the upper part of the county the snow in many places is from ten to fifteen feet deep, The ditches around Nevada are all running water, and mining operations have been commenced in earnest, we hope not again to be interrupted during the season. The immense quantity of snow in the mountains encourages the belief that the present will be the best mining season we have had since 1858, Districr Court.—A considerable amount of business has been disposed of in the District Court during the past week. The present term will hold to the first of February, and it is believed that the docket will be cleared of cases before the Court adjourns, The most of the eases are mining suits, and are of but little interest except to the parties directly concerned.

Badlam, Jr., is our authorized agent in Sacramento City. NEVADA, WEDNESDAY, JAN. 7, 1856. Orry Governaent.—We call the attention of our citizens to the report of the Board of Trus‘tees, and that of the City Treasurer, which will be found in another column. It will be seen that the total amount of expenditures since the present city government was organized, is $6, 341,79, Of this sum, $3,668,48 has been expended in the last six months in building bridges, (mostly to replace those destroyed by fire) grading the streets, and building the city prison; while the ordinary expenses for the same period has amounted to $2,119,04. The city debt, after deducting the cash in the hands of the Treasurer, is $4,671,79. The taxable property in the city amounts to about one million dollars, the tax on which, at one per cent, will be ten thousand dollars, This will be amply sufficient to pay up the present indebtedness, and defray the expenses of the city for the remainder of the fiscal year. Sractna.—The great quautity of snow and rain which has fallen during the past week, has rendered many of the roads in this county almost impassible, The Sacramento stages seldom get in until late in the night, and in some instances they have had to stop and come in the next day. Big Jake informed us the other day, that the bottom had fallen out of the road in many places between Grass Valley and Auburn, On Friday night last, two of the horses gotiations have been instituted by means of a special commission, to obtain from New Granada full indemnity, for injuries sustained by our citizens on the Isthmus, and satisfactory security ‘for the general interests of the United: States. In conclusion, the President says: In addressing to you my last annual message the occasion seems to me an appropriate one to express my. Congratulations in view of the ace, greatness, and felicity which the United tates now possess and enjoy. To point you to the state of the various departments of the Government, and of all the great branches of the public service, civil and military, in order to speak of the intelligence and the integrity which srvades the whole, would be to indicate but imperfeetly the administrative condition of the country, and the beneficial effects of that on the general welfare. el Nor would it suffice to say that the nation is actually at peace at home and abroad; that its through expecting to find some startling disclo. give more than an abstract of the document. sures in regard to Walker’s movements.

The causes which have conspicuously in this matter, and for his own . lead to the difficulties in that territory are clearcredit he had better never have published the . ly set forth, and the policy of the Democratic correspondence. Three letters, purporting to . party in regard to the new territories, and the come from Walker to Goicuria, are published, . equality of the several States, is ably vindicatogether witha contract said to have been en-/ted.

The Orleans Flat stages have been taken off from that route, but communication is still kept open with Camptonville, Forest City and Alpha, sleighs having been substituted for stages on the lavter route, THEATRICAL.—The theatrical company which has been performing upon our boards for some five weeks past, closed their engagements on Saturday evening. The season on the whole, has been a successful one. For the past week the house has been but slimly attended, owing more, perhaps, to the bad weather, than from any lack of interest on the part of our citizens in the entertainments presented. The company having tendered Messi, Frisbie & Bain, proprietors of the theater, a complimentary benefit, on Monday evening, the house on that occasion was crowded to overflowing. The play of Don Cwsar de Bazan, went off in fine style, Mr. Warwick taking the character of Don Cwear, and Miss Demming as Maritana. Last evening was set apart for a complimentary benefit to Miss Demming, Mrs, McGowan, and Miss Louise, tendered by the ancient and honorable order of E Clampsus Vitus. We go to press at too early an hour to speak of the performances, The members of the Order were to appear in full regalia, and the attractions presented could not fail to bring a full house. Hurcures’ MaGazine.—This periodical is a truthful reflection of the mind of California, through the medium of its peculiar literature. Considering it only as a work of art, it is creditable to our new society; as a chronicle and re. pository of the current history of our State, and of its natural wondera, pursuits and modes of life, it is invaluable, both as a fund of pleasing and instructive reading for the present, and also for future reference, As a souvenir, it seems to us it would be to a most weleome messenger at the hearthstone, around which are gathered the hearts that beat for our coming. The cheap price at which it is furnished, places it within the reach of all, and a single stamp prepays it by mail to any part of the United States, The January number just issued, is full of interesting matter, discriptive of natural objects of interest abounding in California, amongst which is a graphic picture of the “Ripple-box water fall, Deer Creek,’’ a curiosity situated some nine miles from this place, and which has doubtless been visited by many of our citizens, ‘Hamlin and Welch are always furnished with a good supply of this work at their book stores, THE WEATHER,—The past week has been unusually stormy, Considerable snow has fallen in this place, but the most of it has been melted off by the rain, In the upper part of the county the snow in many places is from ten to fifteen feet deep, The ditches around Nevada are all running water, and mining operations have been commenced in earnest, we hope not again to be interrupted during the season. The immense quantity of snow in the mountains encourages the belief that the present will be the best mining season we have had since 1858, Districr Court.—A considerable amount of business has been disposed of in the District Court during the past week. The present term will hold to the first of February, and it is believed that the docket will be cleared of cases before the Court adjourns, The most of the eases are mining suits, and are of but little interest except to the parties directly concerned.

The Clerks books being consumed by the fire there are no records of the objects for which they were issued. The City government since our great calamity, (the fire) has labored under many disadvantages. @ revenues were for a time almost destroyed; whereas the repairs of the highways, building bridges, grading streets &e., involved the city to the extent permitted by its charter; eon. sequently further improvements, though greatly needed will have to be deferred. r The Police is very efficient and deserving of great com. mendation. lembrace this opportunity to call the attention of the citizens to the condition of the streets. They are daily be. coming worse, more especially would I direct attention to Main and Broad streets. Should they become impasaable it will bea serious damage to the whole community ay they are the two great thoroughfares of the city. With regard to the indebtedness of the late town Organi. zation, the trustees are in no wise bound, nor eoukt they assume the payment without some expressed wish of the citizens. Yet in justice to the holders of said indebtedness 3 I earnestly recommend its speedy liquidation. C. . OVERTON, President.
