LAIRD, Chairman, Gopernatorit.—Col. Weller is now fairly before the Democratic eleetors of the State for nomination as a candidate for Governor, and five or six newspapers have raised his name at the héad of their columns as their first choice. Some of them are doing his cause much injury by the factious course they are pursuing, io denouncing every one who happens to differ with them iv opinion. We do not regard it as improper for political papers to advocate the claims of any gentleman, for o party nomination, if its conductors are so disposed; but in advocating the claims of one man it is not oeeessary to abuse others who may be put forward for the same position. Mr, McCorkle is our first cheice for Governor, but should the Democratic Convention see fit to nominate Col. Weller, we shall accord bim a cheerful and hearty support. The Democracy of Nevada county are divided as te men, but eo far as we have heard, there are none who are disposed to make trouble in the party. Tur Comet.—Considerable excitement existed in this place on Saturday, in consequence ef the expected appearance of the comet. Crowds of people were standing round the street corners, in the forenoon, gazing at the planet Venus which is now visible to the naked eye during the moet of the day. Many believed it to be the comet, and the non-appearance of the tail was accounted for, from the fact that it was coming directly towards the earth, and the tail was supposed to be hid behind the nucleus, By sunset the timid began to breathe easier, end on Sunday morning the excitement bad entirely abated. The comet boax has had its Covnr or Sxastons.—Tbe case of Wallace Gebr indicted for robbing McClanahan, was taken up on Wednesday, and the day consumed in obtaining a jury. _ He was tried on Thursday, and the jury found a verdict of guilty. In consequence of the death of McClanahan, the evidence as to ‘the robbery being committed was circumstantial, though convincing. He was sentenced to imprisonment in the State Prison for ten years, ‘The cate of Gartish, indicted for larceny, was Miemiiased, and the defendant held to answer to charge of malicious mischief. Thecase of Myers, indicted for areon, bas been transferred to the District Court. The business having been Gisposed of, the Court adjourned for the term an Gaturday. PRoGRESSING.—The quartz mill now being erected by the Nevada Quartz Mining Co., near Hill, is hry end rapidly. The tors expect to have if running about the next month, A large quantity of rock has been out, ready for crushing as soon #6 the mill & completed. ~ Depreariox.—The Catholic Church in this The “Dull Times.” Every community bas ite croakers. The minds of some people are so peculiarly constituted that they invariably view every thing on the dark side, and perversely shut their eyes to the light. With them something is always wrong, and the evils of the present are nothing in comparison with what may be expected in the future. If they happen to be a little “hard up” themselves, they imagine every one else in the same fix, and the ‘‘stringency of the money market”? becomes a fruitful theme for the display of wisdom. For the past five or six years, there bas scarcely been a time that some one was not eroaking about the “dull times;’’ yet during this whole period the business men among us have been doing well, and huodreds have made fortunes and left. At present too many are engaged in the mercantile business, and while euch is the case, it cannot be expected that all will make as heavy sates as they could wish, or that their profits will be commensurate with the amount of capital which they have invested. The more unlucky ones are apt to attribute their want of success to the dullness of the times, rather than to the trug cause. The flush times of 749 and ’50 are gone. and we may never again expect to witness that recklessness in the exp-nditure of money so common in those years; but in all the elements of substantial prosperity there has been a steady improvement, and we can see no reason for indulging in gloomy anticipations for the future. The accumulation of wealth in the mines has been slow, in consequence of the transitory character of the inhabitants, but with a settled population, who were attached to the soil, the increase would be rapid beyond pregedent. All that is needed to make the mining secti6ns of California the most prosperous and wealthy country in the world, is au industrious and permanent population. If only one-tenth of the profits of the mines of Nevada county could be retained and used among us, there would be no lack of capital to develope the resources of the county, and carry on all legitimate branches of business. The hill diggings of the county are sufficient to give profitable employment to . a much larger population than we have at present, and thus far there are no indications of their giving ont, Quartz ‘mining is still in its infancy. and little is yet known in regard to the number and extent of the gold-bearing veins, Rich veins are being discovered almost daily, and people are gradually becoming satisfied that quartz mining will eventually become the principal business of the country. Many of the evils now complained of, are incident to all new countries, and will in time regulate themselves without the aid of artificial specifics, Arguments have been put forward advocating the establishment of a system of banking similar to that of New York and other States, as a remedy for dull times, It is quite useless to enumerate the evils which would result from the introduction of a paper currency into our State. The Constitution of the State prohibits individuals or companies from issuing paper bills to circulate as money, and the people will never suffer that clause of the Constitution to be abrogated. They have become so wedded to a bard-money currency that they are not going to allow the substitution of bank bills in its stead. The introduction of a paper currency might create for a time an artificial stimulus to business, but it would bring no capital into the country, and what gold and silver we have in circulation would either be hoarded or sent off. In old settled countries, where property is secure, and the population settled, it may be possible that such restrictions can be placed upon banks as will protect the bill holders from loss; but ina new country like California, we doubt very much whether a system of bank ng can be devised that will not leave some loop-hole by which sbarpers will be enabled to swindle the community. Rica Quartz.—From a quartz lode discovered some time since by Mr. Beach,” a prospect amounting to $117 a ton has recertly been obtained. It was discovered some three months ago but the proprietors deferred working it until the water fuiled in their other diggiigs. They then took out nine ton of rock, and had it crushed at a millin Grass Valley, with the above result. The lode is about four miles above Nevada, on the north side of Deer creek, and is so situated that it will not cost over a dollar a ton to quarry the rock. It is owned by Mesere, Beach & Randolph of this place. They have another lode some two or three bundred yards above, which has not yet been tested, but the rock has the appearance of being very rich. They are now taking out rock and hauling it to Grass Valley, a distance of eight miles, and having it crushed. We learn, however, that they contemplate erecting a mill near the vein. There are several other quartz lodes in the neighborhood which are being prospected. Scppen Deatu.—Mr. J. M. Congdon died very suddenly on Saturday of stricture of the asophagus, or inflamation of the throat, Dr. Hunt was first called in to attend him, aud a consultation of physicians was afterwards beld, but they were unable to administer any relief. An effort war made to pass a probe down his throat without effect. A post mortem examination was had, and the gullet was found to be completely closed up. F. V. Moors.—Next Friday is the day fixed for the execution of F, V. Moore. Mrs. Moore bas made every effort in her power to get his sentence commuted, and also to obtain a new trial, and even yet clings to the hope that he may be spared from suffering the extreme peualty of the law. We are informed that Moure himself has »boet given up all hopes of obtaining a new trial. A Posric Servant.—Wallace Gebr left on Place will be dedicated on Sunday next.

For the Nevada Democrat. Mining Prospects of Nevada County, Mr. Eprror—In your paper of last week, I observe a suggestion made, for the formation ofa prospecting company on a plan calculated to combine the capital and industry of the citizens of Nevada. The move is made at the right time, and in the right direction. Instead of disputing upon abstractions in political ecovowics, and giving way to the panic of “hard times,” the energetic action which is proposed by you, will crown with prosperity oar people, and restore . the days past, when Nevada was the centre of a vigorous and thriving mining region, One fact in political philosophy is indisputable, and that is, that where you afford abundance of remunerative labor, there will be plenty and prosperity. No community can be poor where there is profitable industry. It is quite time that we had solved the question, whether the hills that surround Nevada on every side, are the repositories of that mineral wealth which will afford resources for its future welfare. If not, then Nevada must remain for the future, almost wholly dependent for its support upon the rest of the county, and for years it may drag out a sickly and languid existence. If however, there be that wealth which will em. ploy hundreds of industrious men, and yield to capital a fair return, it should be developed, and the more speedily the better. Ifthe ability ofa few is inadequate to the undertaking of prospecting on so extensive a scale as that required, then, should it be accomplished by the united . strength of many. For men are not willing torisk their all, in an enterprise, and upon u single . chance, to run the hazard of pecuniary ruin; and there is the difficulty, at our day, with mining operations, The shallow diggings being in a great measure exhausted, recourse must be had to the deep hill diggings, and to quartz, In both of these, large capital is necessary, an amount much beyond the command of any but the fortunate few. Owing to the disposition of . men, as seon as they have accumulated money, to leave the country, this number, together with the aggregate capital, is constantly kept at the . lowest ebb, Most of those with us, while in the away, and the actual capital ofthe community, is thus, of no more use than ifit did not exist. the purpose of benefiting the country, are those who look forward with patience, toa permanent residence in the mining region, and to those whose investments in property give them a particular interest in its value, Let these unite their means for the common welfare. Puta partof this means into the work, and venture something to develope those resources which lie about our city. Immense ledges of quartz, sufficient, perhaps, to employ a thousand men for the next century, are to be found in the hillsimmediutely contiguous toour . town, Yet no effort is made to test its value because of the want of either energy or capital. It is as eafe to assume, that the hills contain . golden deposits as that solid matter observes . the laws of gravitation. The right sort of banks, then, for us to resort to fora safe and abundant curréncy, are the great banks in which nature has made her deposits of oro, Any others would only tend to destroy the little substance we have, Paper currency in California, would have the effect of adding to our wealth just as fire has the effect of preserving gun cotton, and would be about as rational as the exportation of ice to Lapland. If any old theory of the last century has been exploded, it is, that you do not add to the wealth ofa people by the bare increase of that which is only the representation of wealth. La. bor, and the increase and produce of {udustry . alone, can add to the substantial wealth ofa people. A paper maker, an engraver anda banker, can make more money in a week, than the Allison Ranch quartz lead, engine, pump, mill anda hundred men could make in fifty years, and yet all the paper maker, engraver and banker would produce in a century, would not amount in intrinsic value, toa pound of beef, or a pair of boots, If our citizens whose interests are wholly dependent upon the prosperity ofthe city, are anxious to perpetuate its existence and its well being, they should act promptly upon yoursuggestion, Tue Say Francisco Giose, becomes perfectly furious on being charged with Black Republicanism, A review of the political career of that without foundation, The Globe was started as a professed Democratic paper, but took up in favor of the Vigilance Committee, when every Democ atic paper in the State opposed them, When Mr. Buchanan was nominated for President, the Globe at first supported him, but afterwards took down his nameand announced itself as independent. When the Democratic ticket was nominated last fallin San Francisco, instead of supporting the regular nominees, the Globe denounced them, and assisted materially in the election of eleven Black Republicans to the Legislature, Its object in supporting the Republican nominees was undouvtedly for the purpose of getting two members of that party elected to'the U.S. Senate from this State, and had the election been a close onc, the conductors of that paper might have accomplished their purpose. It now comes out and claims to be Democratic, and has attached itself to the tail end of the disorganizing faction who are attempting to create a division in the party, It may suit the convenience of the Globe to assume the garb of Democracy fora time, but as soon as the nominations are made, we shall expect to see it vo taking sides with its old friends, the Black Republicans, Frou Orecon.—By a late arrival from the Columbia river, we learn the result of the recent territorial election. Gen. Joseph Lane has been re-elected to Congress, by about 2000 majority over all opposition, and both branches of . the legislature are largely Democratic. The yote op the question of organizing a State government, was almost unanimous in its favor. Snoexmc Tracenr—On Tuerday the 9th inst. a shocking murder was committed in Sacramento. Mr. Thomas Latta. proprietor of a steam saw mill, was stabbed by a man named Ezekiel . Bulloch, and died almost instantly from the ef. fects of the wound. Bulloch was drunk at the time the fatal blow was given. He was arrested and has been committed on a charge of murder. Mr. Latta was about 37 years old, and a Scetchman by birth, He leaves no family. process of making their “pile,’”’ keep it hoarded . The only men in fact, who can be looked to for. journal, will convince any one that the charge . of its beiug tinctured with Republicanism is not . amg of age. and originally TusaTER.—Miss Mary Provost played at the Theater on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings of last week, She was supported by Messrs. Warwick, Anderson, Woodward and others, and the entertainments presented were highly creditable. Miss Provost is 4 lively and pleasing actress; her singing, in particular, was much admired, and invariably brought down the house, On Monday evening the Theater was opened by Mr. and Mrs. Stark, who were greeted with a full house. The play of Camille was performed, and in consequence of its great length it constituted the sole entertainment of the evening. Mr. Stark as Armand Duval, was the great attraction, and his delineation of this character was perbaps, as near perfection as it is possible for an actor to attain, We shall take occasion in our next to speak more at length of this gentleman’s merits, The character of Camille was admirably sustained by Mrs, Stark, and Mr. Phelps. Mrs. Woodward, and in fact, all the members of the company, acquitted themselves to the entire satisfaction of an appreciating audience. The translation of this play, as performed by Mr, and Mrs. Stark, is much more chaste and tasteful than any we have before seen upon the stage. During the performance they were twice called in front of the curtain. Last evening Mr. Stark appeared in his great character of Richelieu, but we go to press at too early an hour to speak of the performance. The company will remain througu the week, and a succession of standard plays will be presented. This evening the great tragic drama of “The Robbers”? will be presented, Mr. Stark a8 Chas. de Moor. His personation of this character has been the subject of the most favorable notices, and we trust the lovers of the drama will not failtosee him ia one of his best characters. The play was written by Schiller, and it is related that after its first representation in Friebourg, Germany, a number of young men in . the city, captivated by the grandeur of the character of Charles de Moor, formed themselves intoa band like his, and resolved to betake . themselves to the forests of Bohemia. Their plans were discovered, and the representation of the play prohibited. Insanity oF Mevers.—A, comm'ttee of physicians consisting of Drs. Overton, Hunt and Aldrich, were appointed last Saturday to examine John Meyers, as to his insanity. They have not yet concluded the examination, but we understand the physicians are of the opinion that the man is really insane. They will probably make a report to the District Court this weck. INDEPENDENCE Batis.—Messre. Burrington & Owen give a ball at Alpha, on Friday June 3d. A Lall will also be given at Humbug, on the evening of the 4th, by Mr. W.C.

Pravine tr Five.-—We learo that Gher while on the way to the Penitentiary played crazy. The officer paid no attention to his ravings, as his efforts to appear insane were too shallow to decieve any one, Servep Him Rieut.—The Mexican who recently lassoed a little girl near the Mountain House Amador county, and who attempted to carry her off, has been sentenced to the penitentiary. Raitroap.—A meeting was recently held at Auburn, for the purpose of taking steps to proto Valley Railroad to that place. A deep interest was manifested in the matter, and after some discussion, it was resolved to send a committee of three citizens to confer with the managers of the railroad, and ascertain on what terms and inducements the extension can be obtained, Ilichway Ropsery.—Two Chinamen were stopped on Wednesday afternoon, on the road below Kent’s Ranch, on Feather river, by two Mexicans, who took their mule from them and made off. being subsequently closely pressed by Americans, the Mexicans tied the mule at the road-side and left him. Tbe animal was restored to the Chinamen. From Los ANGELEs.—We have received cop ies of the Los Angeles Star, of the 6th and 10ih . inst., from which we glean the following items: _ The crops are represented to be a decided failure iv the different districts of Los Augeles county. Doleful forebodings are being mul. tered with regard to the future of this county, . owing to the great mortality of the previous . year, the failure of the pasture and the short. . uess of the crops this season, The Star directs . the attention of land ownere and capitalists to the construction of artesian wells as a remedy . fur future drouths, At a Democratic County Convention, held at Los Angeles on June 6th, the following persons were elected delegates to the coming State Con. Veution of the party, viz: J. L. Brent, B. Coopweet J. PF. Stepheus, A.C. Wakeman aad J. ias, Recent thorough searches in Los Angeles, together with the vigilance of the local officers, are said to have frighteved away the thieves . and murderers who formerly infested that town. Coasiderable improvements are being made and others projected in the town of Los Augeles, A number of new brick buildings are getting up. The people at San Bernardino are busy with rer operations, The crops are turning out well, Old mother earth is still troubled with the consequences of her great convulsion on the 9th of Jauuary last. She has not yet recovered her usual quiet and steady habits, but exhibits the weakness of her internals by shakes, of almost nightly occurrence. Fort Tejon seems to be the region where her disease is located, for the good people at that post are almost nightly eutertained with earthquake shocks, Last week, one or tivo very severe shocks occurred there, which awoke the sleepers and sent them in a hurry to breathe the fresh air of the parade . . ground, Stilgeanepaaaaieametataesere sommes, A TERRIBLE AccIDENA— he Sacramento Union eays:—On Monday, while Mr. woods the owner of a saw-mill in greenwood canon, E] Dorado county, was hauling logs with his truck, he was thrown under a log and instantly killed, He was driving along on the side of a stecp hill, and found it neceseary to hold down the pace side of the truck with a sort of leverage, which he pressed downwards; the weight of the log was too great, and he was thrown with a sudden jerk over to the other side of the truck, which with the log attached, immediately rolled down the hill—the log passing directly over Mr. Woods and crushing his head to pieces, Mr. Woods was a: single mar, ‘about thirty-five from White ew York, He came to this country in 184 ' cure, if possible, the extension of the Sacramen. Later News from Sonora. The San Diego Herald, of June 6th, gives the following additional news from Sonora, received from a Mr. McGrath, who had just arrived at San Diego from Sonera: Mr. McGrath has been living some timein Sonora, aud was taken prisoner at Cavorca while driving through that place a drove of horses {for the Calitornia market, the Mexicans believing they were intended for the filibusters. This happened a few days previous to the entrance of Gen. Crabb’s party into Cavorea, aud Mr. McGrath was an eye-witness of all that trauspired. He says the only erroacous statement in tbe account lately published of Crabb’s dis. astrous battle, was in regard to the number of days in which they were engaged. He states that on the 5th day (instead of the 8th) Crabb’s party surrendered. and gives it as his opinion that Crabb must bave exhausted his ammuuition, baving on bis entrance into Cavorca left his horses aud pack animals. with the greater portion of his ammunition in the suburbs of the town, He is positive that if they had ammmunition. they could easily have cut ther way through the rear of the building, regained their animals and escaped, as there were but a very few men guarding that part of the town, the greater number being iv the church and ou the roof in frout. He places the loss of the Mexicans, from his own knowledge and by their official report, to be 19 killed, 20 mortally and as many more slightly wounded. There were 650 Mexicans engaged, comprising the Altar and Santa Aona troops. He fixes the number killed in battle and executed of Crabb’s party at 96 men, comprising all of his command excepting one man, who joined the party in Sonora, aud who was sent to the Governor. at La Cuidad, for the purTHEATER}!

Mail S. §, Co, are always in readiness to convey them to New York or New Orleans, . pose of eliciting information as to the movements of other filibustering parties. The party from Calabasas Ranch, consisting of 24 men, (who were reported in the last account as not baving been beard from,) were surprised in the night by the Santa Anua troops, between Pitiqnit and Cavorea, and all killed, with the exception of a Mexican boy, a vaquero of Mr. McGrath, he having been taken prisoner by the filibusters the day previous. The next day, Mr. McGrath was taken by the Saia Ana troops to Altar, and on passing over the road was shown the spot of the massacre, and saw a number of dead bodies lying round, unburied and partially devoured by birds aud other animais, Our informant is positive that the brothers Ainsa were not killed. Not being engaged in the tight, they were taken to La Cuidad for trial; but he thinks there is no chance for their escape from Pesquira’s clutches, as he had issued a proclamation declaring that no mercy would be shown to any of the Ainsa or Gandara familics should they be taken. Gandara’s property had all been confiscated and sold at auction for a mere trifle. He further states that there will be great suffering in that part of Sonera for want of food, as the cattle have all been driven south, and the rancheros have ween forcibly taken from their lavor by the Mexican authorities and compelled to take up arins against the filibusters; the Mexican soldiery in the meantime pasturing their horses upon the growing crops of wheat, barley and corn, completely destroving the same. After undergoing a trialat Altar, Mr. MeGrath’s horses were returned to him and he was allowed to drive them to California, and arrived here, as we have stated above, on Sunday, the 31st ult. Tue Gapspen St.ver Mixes.—The editor of the San Francisco Heruld has been shown some fine specimens of silver taken from the Sopori lead, in the Gad-den Puachase. He has also reeeived information concerning the locality, which enables him to impart the following information: The mine is located about forty miles from Tueson, and twenty-five from Caladazas, The proprietors are Messrs Douglas, Dodsen. Aldrich a.d Rhodes, It is represented to be inexhaustible, and can be traced perhaps a mile on the surface, The average yield is twelve marks, or ninty-six dollars of pure silver to three hundred pounds of ore, The character of the mine is volcanic, and water is convenient and plenty. James Douglas, one of the proprietors, is an old and experianced silver miner, and persons visiting . that country with the view of examining its mineral resorces, would do well to call on him at bis mine. The specimens exhibited to us. were very rich. ReMovaL—The Ambrotype Gallery of Mrs. J. F. Rupoupu, has been removed to the ‘Democrat’? Building, Broad street, near the Post Office.

Weller is now fairly before the Democratic eleetors of the State for nomination as a candidate for Governor, and five or six newspapers have raised his name at the héad of their columns as their first choice. Some of them are doing his cause much injury by the factious course they are pursuing, io denouncing every one who happens to differ with them iv opinion. We do not regard it as improper for political papers to advocate the claims of any gentleman, for o party nomination, if its conductors are so disposed; but in advocating the claims of one man it is not oeeessary to abuse others who may be put forward for the same position. Mr, McCorkle is our first cheice for Governor, but should the Democratic Convention see fit to nominate Col. Weller, we shall accord bim a cheerful and hearty support. The Democracy of Nevada county are divided as te men, but eo far as we have heard, there are none who are disposed to make trouble in the party. Tur Comet.—Considerable excitement existed in this place on Saturday, in consequence ef the expected appearance of the comet. Crowds of people were standing round the street corners, in the forenoon, gazing at the planet Venus which is now visible to the naked eye during the moet of the day. Many believed it to be the comet, and the non-appearance of the tail was accounted for, from the fact that it was coming directly towards the earth, and the tail was supposed to be hid behind the nucleus, By sunset the timid began to breathe easier, end on Sunday morning the excitement bad entirely abated. The comet boax has had its Covnr or Sxastons.—Tbe case of Wallace Gebr indicted for robbing McClanahan, was taken up on Wednesday, and the day consumed in obtaining a jury. _ He was tried on Thursday, and the jury found a verdict of guilty. In consequence of the death of McClanahan, the evidence as to ‘the robbery being committed was circumstantial, though convincing. He was sentenced to imprisonment in the State Prison for ten years, ‘The cate of Gartish, indicted for larceny, was Miemiiased, and the defendant held to answer to charge of malicious mischief. Thecase of Myers, indicted for areon, bas been transferred to the District Court. The business having been Gisposed of, the Court adjourned for the term an Gaturday. PRoGRESSING.—The quartz mill now being erected by the Nevada Quartz Mining Co., near Hill, is hry end rapidly. The tors expect to have if running about the next month, A large quantity of rock has been out, ready for crushing as soon #6 the mill & completed. ~ Depreariox.—The Catholic Church in this The “Dull Times.” Every community bas ite croakers. The minds of some people are so peculiarly constituted that they invariably view every thing on the dark side, and perversely shut their eyes to the light. With them something is always wrong, and the evils of the present are nothing in comparison with what may be expected in the future. If they happen to be a little “hard up” themselves, they imagine every one else in the same fix, and the ‘‘stringency of the money market”? becomes a fruitful theme for the display of wisdom. For the past five or six years, there bas scarcely been a time that some one was not eroaking about the “dull times;’’ yet during this whole period the business men among us have been doing well, and huodreds have made fortunes and left. At present too many are engaged in the mercantile business, and while euch is the case, it cannot be expected that all will make as heavy sates as they could wish, or that their profits will be commensurate with the amount of capital which they have invested. The more unlucky ones are apt to attribute their want of success to the dullness of the times, rather than to the trug cause. The flush times of 749 and ’50 are gone. and we may never again expect to witness that recklessness in the exp-nditure of money so common in those years; but in all the elements of substantial prosperity there has been a steady improvement, and we can see no reason for indulging in gloomy anticipations for the future. The accumulation of wealth in the mines has been slow, in consequence of the transitory character of the inhabitants, but with a settled population, who were attached to the soil, the increase would be rapid beyond pregedent. All that is needed to make the mining secti6ns of California the most prosperous and wealthy country in the world, is au industrious and permanent population. If only one-tenth of the profits of the mines of Nevada county could be retained and used among us, there would be no lack of capital to develope the resources of the county, and carry on all legitimate branches of business. The hill diggings of the county are sufficient to give profitable employment to . a much larger population than we have at present, and thus far there are no indications of their giving ont, Quartz ‘mining is still in its infancy. and little is yet known in regard to the number and extent of the gold-bearing veins, Rich veins are being discovered almost daily, and people are gradually becoming satisfied that quartz mining will eventually become the principal business of the country. Many of the evils now complained of, are incident to all new countries, and will in time regulate themselves without the aid of artificial specifics, Arguments have been put forward advocating the establishment of a system of banking similar to that of New York and other States, as a remedy for dull times, It is quite useless to enumerate the evils which would result from the introduction of a paper currency into our State. The Constitution of the State prohibits individuals or companies from issuing paper bills to circulate as money, and the people will never suffer that clause of the Constitution to be abrogated. They have become so wedded to a bard-money currency that they are not going to allow the substitution of bank bills in its stead. The introduction of a paper currency might create for a time an artificial stimulus to business, but it would bring no capital into the country, and what gold and silver we have in circulation would either be hoarded or sent off. In old settled countries, where property is secure, and the population settled, it may be possible that such restrictions can be placed upon banks as will protect the bill holders from loss; but ina new country like California, we doubt very much whether a system of bank ng can be devised that will not leave some loop-hole by which sbarpers will be enabled to swindle the community. Rica Quartz.—From a quartz lode discovered some time since by Mr. Beach,” a prospect amounting to $117 a ton has recertly been obtained. It was discovered some three months ago but the proprietors deferred working it until the water fuiled in their other diggiigs. They then took out nine ton of rock, and had it crushed at a millin Grass Valley, with the above result. The lode is about four miles above Nevada, on the north side of Deer creek, and is so situated that it will not cost over a dollar a ton to quarry the rock. It is owned by Mesere, Beach & Randolph of this place. They have another lode some two or three bundred yards above, which has not yet been tested, but the rock has the appearance of being very rich. They are now taking out rock and hauling it to Grass Valley, a distance of eight miles, and having it crushed. We learn, however, that they contemplate erecting a mill near the vein. There are several other quartz lodes in the neighborhood which are being prospected. Scppen Deatu.—Mr. J. M. Congdon died very suddenly on Saturday of stricture of the asophagus, or inflamation of the throat, Dr. Hunt was first called in to attend him, aud a consultation of physicians was afterwards beld, but they were unable to administer any relief. An effort war made to pass a probe down his throat without effect. A post mortem examination was had, and the gullet was found to be completely closed up. F. V. Moors.—Next Friday is the day fixed for the execution of F, V. Moore. Mrs. Moore bas made every effort in her power to get his sentence commuted, and also to obtain a new trial, and even yet clings to the hope that he may be spared from suffering the extreme peualty of the law. We are informed that Moure himself has »boet given up all hopes of obtaining a new trial. A Posric Servant.—Wallace Gebr left on Place will be dedicated on Sunday next.

For the Nevada Democrat. Mining Prospects of Nevada County, Mr. Eprror—In your paper of last week, I observe a suggestion made, for the formation ofa prospecting company on a plan calculated to combine the capital and industry of the citizens of Nevada. The move is made at the right time, and in the right direction. Instead of disputing upon abstractions in political ecovowics, and giving way to the panic of “hard times,” the energetic action which is proposed by you, will crown with prosperity oar people, and restore . the days past, when Nevada was the centre of a vigorous and thriving mining region, One fact in political philosophy is indisputable, and that is, that where you afford abundance of remunerative labor, there will be plenty and prosperity. No community can be poor where there is profitable industry. It is quite time that we had solved the question, whether the hills that surround Nevada on every side, are the repositories of that mineral wealth which will afford resources for its future welfare. If not, then Nevada must remain for the future, almost wholly dependent for its support upon the rest of the county, and for years it may drag out a sickly and languid existence. If however, there be that wealth which will em. ploy hundreds of industrious men, and yield to capital a fair return, it should be developed, and the more speedily the better. Ifthe ability ofa few is inadequate to the undertaking of prospecting on so extensive a scale as that required, then, should it be accomplished by the united . strength of many. For men are not willing torisk their all, in an enterprise, and upon u single . chance, to run the hazard of pecuniary ruin; and there is the difficulty, at our day, with mining operations, The shallow diggings being in a great measure exhausted, recourse must be had to the deep hill diggings, and to quartz, In both of these, large capital is necessary, an amount much beyond the command of any but the fortunate few. Owing to the disposition of . men, as seon as they have accumulated money, to leave the country, this number, together with the aggregate capital, is constantly kept at the . lowest ebb, Most of those with us, while in the away, and the actual capital ofthe community, is thus, of no more use than ifit did not exist. the purpose of benefiting the country, are those who look forward with patience, toa permanent residence in the mining region, and to those whose investments in property give them a particular interest in its value, Let these unite their means for the common welfare. Puta partof this means into the work, and venture something to develope those resources which lie about our city. Immense ledges of quartz, sufficient, perhaps, to employ a thousand men for the next century, are to be found in the hillsimmediutely contiguous toour . town, Yet no effort is made to test its value because of the want of either energy or capital. It is as eafe to assume, that the hills contain . golden deposits as that solid matter observes . the laws of gravitation. The right sort of banks, then, for us to resort to fora safe and abundant curréncy, are the great banks in which nature has made her deposits of oro, Any others would only tend to destroy the little substance we have, Paper currency in California, would have the effect of adding to our wealth just as fire has the effect of preserving gun cotton, and would be about as rational as the exportation of ice to Lapland. If any old theory of the last century has been exploded, it is, that you do not add to the wealth ofa people by the bare increase of that which is only the representation of wealth. La. bor, and the increase and produce of {udustry . alone, can add to the substantial wealth ofa people. A paper maker, an engraver anda banker, can make more money in a week, than the Allison Ranch quartz lead, engine, pump, mill anda hundred men could make in fifty years, and yet all the paper maker, engraver and banker would produce in a century, would not amount in intrinsic value, toa pound of beef, or a pair of boots, If our citizens whose interests are wholly dependent upon the prosperity ofthe city, are anxious to perpetuate its existence and its well being, they should act promptly upon yoursuggestion, Tue Say Francisco Giose, becomes perfectly furious on being charged with Black Republicanism, A review of the political career of that without foundation, The Globe was started as a professed Democratic paper, but took up in favor of the Vigilance Committee, when every Democ atic paper in the State opposed them, When Mr. Buchanan was nominated for President, the Globe at first supported him, but afterwards took down his nameand announced itself as independent. When the Democratic ticket was nominated last fallin San Francisco, instead of supporting the regular nominees, the Globe denounced them, and assisted materially in the election of eleven Black Republicans to the Legislature, Its object in supporting the Republican nominees was undouvtedly for the purpose of getting two members of that party elected to'the U.S. Senate from this State, and had the election been a close onc, the conductors of that paper might have accomplished their purpose. It now comes out and claims to be Democratic, and has attached itself to the tail end of the disorganizing faction who are attempting to create a division in the party, It may suit the convenience of the Globe to assume the garb of Democracy fora time, but as soon as the nominations are made, we shall expect to see it vo taking sides with its old friends, the Black Republicans, Frou Orecon.—By a late arrival from the Columbia river, we learn the result of the recent territorial election. Gen. Joseph Lane has been re-elected to Congress, by about 2000 majority over all opposition, and both branches of . the legislature are largely Democratic.

Mr. Thomas Latta. proprietor of a steam saw mill, was stabbed by a man named Ezekiel . Bulloch, and died almost instantly from the ef. fects of the wound. Bulloch was drunk at the time the fatal blow was given. He was arrested and has been committed on a charge of murder. Mr. Latta was about 37 years old, and a Scetchman by birth, He leaves no family. process of making their “pile,’”’ keep it hoarded .

Warwick, Anderson, Woodward and others, and the entertainments presented were highly creditable. Miss Provost is 4 lively and pleasing actress; her singing, in particular, was much admired, and invariably brought down the house, On Monday evening the Theater was opened by Mr. and Mrs. Stark, who were greeted with a full house. The play of Camille was performed, and in consequence of its great length it constituted the sole entertainment of the evening. Mr. Stark as Armand Duval, was the great attraction, and his delineation of this character was perbaps, as near perfection as it is possible for an actor to attain, We shall take occasion in our next to speak more at length of this gentleman’s merits, The character of Camille was admirably sustained by Mrs, Stark, and Mr. Phelps. Mrs. Woodward, and in fact, all the members of the company, acquitted themselves to the entire satisfaction of an appreciating audience. The translation of this play, as performed by Mr, and Mrs. Stark, is much more chaste and tasteful than any we have before seen upon the stage. During the performance they were twice called in front of the curtain. Last evening Mr. Stark appeared in his great character of Richelieu, but we go to press at too early an hour to speak of the performance. The company will remain througu the week, and a succession of standard plays will be presented. This evening the great tragic drama of “The Robbers”? will be presented, Mr. Stark a8 Chas. de Moor. His personation of this character has been the subject of the most favorable notices, and we trust the lovers of the drama will not failtosee him ia one of his best characters. The play was written by Schiller, and it is related that after its first representation in Friebourg, Germany, a number of young men in . the city, captivated by the grandeur of the character of Charles de Moor, formed themselves intoa band like his, and resolved to betake . themselves to the forests of Bohemia. Their plans were discovered, and the representation of the play prohibited. Insanity oF Mevers.—A, comm'ttee of physicians consisting of Drs.

From Los ANGELEs.—We have received cop ies of the Los Angeles Star, of the 6th and 10ih . inst., from which we glean the following items: _ The crops are represented to be a decided failure iv the different districts of Los Augeles county. Doleful forebodings are being mul. tered with regard to the future of this county, . owing to the great mortality of the previous . year, the failure of the pasture and the short. . uess of the crops this season, The Star directs . the attention of land ownere and capitalists to the construction of artesian wells as a remedy . fur future drouths, At a Democratic County Convention, held at Los Angeles on June 6th, the following persons were elected delegates to the coming State Con. Veution of the party, viz: J. L. Brent, B. Coopweet J. PF. Stepheus, A.C. Wakeman aad J. ias, Recent thorough searches in Los Angeles, together with the vigilance of the local officers, are said to have frighteved away the thieves . and murderers who formerly infested that town.

The people at San Bernardino are busy with rer operations, The crops are turning out well, Old mother earth is still troubled with the consequences of her great convulsion on the 9th of Jauuary last. She has not yet recovered her usual quiet and steady habits, but exhibits the weakness of her internals by shakes, of almost nightly occurrence.

Later News from Sonora. The San Diego Herald, of June 6th, gives the following additional news from Sonora, received from a Mr. McGrath, who had just arrived at San Diego from Sonera: Mr. McGrath has been living some timein Sonora, aud was taken prisoner at Cavorca while driving through that place a drove of horses {for the Calitornia market, the Mexicans believing they were intended for the filibusters. This happened a few days previous to the entrance of Gen. Crabb’s party into Cavorea, aud Mr. McGrath was an eye-witness of all that trauspired. He says the only erroacous statement in tbe account lately published of Crabb’s dis. astrous battle, was in regard to the number of days in which they were engaged. He states that on the 5th day (instead of the 8th) Crabb’s party surrendered. and gives it as his opinion that Crabb must bave exhausted his ammuuition, baving on bis entrance into Cavorca left his horses aud pack animals. with the greater portion of his ammunition in the suburbs of the town, He is positive that if they had ammmunition. they could easily have cut ther way through the rear of the building, regained their animals and escaped, as there were but a very few men guarding that part of the town, the greater number being iv the church and ou the roof in frout. He places the loss of the Mexicans, from his own knowledge and by their official report, to be 19 killed, 20 mortally and as many more slightly wounded. There were 650 Mexicans engaged, comprising the Altar and Santa Aona troops. He fixes the number killed in battle and executed of Crabb’s party at 96 men, comprising all of his command excepting one man, who joined the party in Sonora, aud who was sent to the Governor. at La Cuidad, for the purTHEATER}!

Mail S. §, Co, are always in readiness to convey them to New York or New Orleans, . pose of eliciting information as to the movements of other filibustering parties. The party from Calabasas Ranch, consisting of 24 men, (who were reported in the last account as not baving been beard from,) were surprised in the night by the Santa Anua troops, between Pitiqnit and Cavorea, and all killed, with the exception of a Mexican boy, a vaquero of Mr. McGrath, he having been taken prisoner by the filibusters the day previous. The next day, Mr. McGrath was taken by the Saia Ana troops to Altar, and on passing over the road was shown the spot of the massacre, and saw a number of dead bodies lying round, unburied and partially devoured by birds aud other animais, Our informant is positive that the brothers Ainsa were not killed. Not being engaged in the tight, they were taken to La Cuidad for trial; but he thinks there is no chance for their escape from Pesquira’s clutches, as he had issued a proclamation declaring that no mercy would be shown to any of the Ainsa or Gandara familics should they be taken. Gandara’s property had all been confiscated and sold at auction for a mere trifle. He further states that there will be great suffering in that part of Sonera for want of food, as the cattle have all been driven south, and the rancheros have ween forcibly taken from their lavor by the Mexican authorities and compelled to take up arins against the filibusters; the Mexican soldiery in the meantime pasturing their horses upon the growing crops of wheat, barley and corn, completely destroving the same. After undergoing a trialat Altar, Mr. MeGrath’s horses were returned to him and he was allowed to drive them to California, and arrived here, as we have stated above, on Sunday, the 31st ult.
