". by the Newada Water Co , the by Messrs. Charles Mareh & Co. The Water ComOctavian Hoogs is our Agent for San Francisco. He is authorized to receive advertisement, and collect and pany propore to enlarge their reservoir on Lost Hill, if the Trustees deem it necessary, and lay down six-inch cast-iron pipes, contiecting with their works.at.the corner.ofBroad. and. Pine streets, through Pine, Commereial and Maia streets to the Theater, and down Broad street to Sanford’s store. Connecting with the main pipe on Broad street they propose to put down two ¢ast-iron pipes, of four inches diameter, running through to Spring street, and two of the same size through to Commercial street, witb a fire-plog at the end of each. On the larger pipes they put in fire-plugs at distances not to exceed two hundred feet apart. The city to have the use of the water free for fire purposes, and fer practising by regularly organized fire companies one day in each week. In retarn, the city is te guarantee the company the exclusive right to supply the city with water, by means of pipes laid through the streets, for the period of twenty yeare. Marsh & Co. propose to proeure # reservoir capable of containing 1,200,000 gallons of water, at an altitude of fifty feet above the highest point in the city where water will be needed for extinguishing Gres; to lay a cast-iron pipe, of teh inches in diameter, from the reservoir to the Methodist Church on,Broad street, an eightineb pipe from the Methodist Oharch to the cornet of Broad and Pine streets, and six-ineb pipes to connect through Commercial, Main, Pine, Spring and Church streets, They farther propose to furaish water for fire purposes sufficient to flow through and fill three hose and pipes of one inch nozzle, in any portion of the town along the course of the main and branch pipes; also, water for sprinkling the streets, in free use'to the city. The city is to be at the expense of the fire-plugs, which they propose to place along the live of their pipes at such positions as may be designated by the Board of Trustees, In consideration of the above, they ack the sole and exclusive right of supplying the city with water by means of pipes, for the period of twenty years, “the already vested rights of others reniaining undisturbed,” and the property to he exempt from taxation, Marsh & Co, could not assign a tiwe for the completion of their work, until they could ascertain whether the pipe could be procured in this State. In consequence of this, the propositions were both laid over until next Thursday evening, when they will be acted on. Whatever may be doue in the mutter by the Board will of course be submitted to a vote of the people for ratidcation, and probably both propositions will be submitted and the citizens allowed their choice. As some changes may be made in the propositions, before Gnal action is taken it is unnecessary at present to point out the advantages and disadvantages of each. for the same. Jr.j id our Agent at Sacramento, to sebtitaratihentc lod collect for the same, : d exeeaeereseinnnnmantegne no a NEVADA, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 6, 1 A daring robbery was perpetrated on Monday evening, at a place ca!led Mountain Springs, between Dutch Flat and Iowa Hill, in Placer county. About half past ten o’clock two men entered the store.of Brown & Co., drew revol‘vers upon Brown and bis ‘clerk, and told them keep perfectly quict or they would be shot in their, tracks, The .robbers were soon jeined by two accomplices, when Brown and the clerk were taken to # back room, bound se¢urely with ropes, and gagged so that it was impossible for them to make a particle of noise. The robbers thea proceeded at their leisure to search the store, and succeeded in finding $1,200 worth of gold dust, considerable coin and two gold watobes, which they carrried off. In about an hour after the villains bad left, the clerk janiaged to free Wimself, when the alarm was given and parties started ont in different direotions in pursoitof the robbers. . This robbery wae perpetrated in & town of “two or three hundred inbabitants, and at an ‘hour in the evening before many of them bad retired to their beds. A number of the citizens had spent the evening in the store and left not more than fifteen or twenty minutes before the robbers entered. Every thing must bave been ¢enducted in a very quiet manner, as the least anusedl noise would have been heard and noticed by people living in the vicinity. One of 5 it.of the robbers» arrived in Soshun ax o’olook yesterday morning, and gave information to the officers here, and every means will be taken to arrest the perpetrators and bring them to, justice. Late ion evening we learned that a man named Dan. Smith, whe ia yy tu be one of the robbers, was arin Grasse Valley, and lodged io jail. Penmanenoy oy AMertoan Instrrvtions.—On eur first page will be found » letter from the late English historian, Macauley, upon Ameri. ean institutions. However much we may disdent from the views of the English historian, his opinions will be read with interest, and perhaps with profit. There is nothing novel in ley’s views; they have been the standing @ootrine of the European aristocracy ever since éur government ws instituted, and we have some aristocrats in sur own coantry who enfertaio similar sentiments, Senator Hammond, of “mud-sill” notoriety, is an example of the latter class, At first they predicted a speedy breaking up or chango in the form of government, and fifty years was the utmost limit assigned for the existence of our institutions. Their predictions, which were in accordance with their wishes, having failed, they still maintain the same doctrine, bat have postponed for ® century or two the evil day, Macauley, during the latter part of his life, no doubt honestly entertained the opinions set forth in his létter, bat hie premises are based upon a knowledge of the character aod habits of the lower elaases of Europe, rather than of the American masees, his conclusions are liable to be at fault. dangers which he supposes threaten our institutions are several ‘centuries in the future, end for us of the present generation it isenough to know that our government is as well adapted eve wants and condition of the people as any tcan be devised, Tus Pactric Deneaation at Coaniestoy.— During the proceedings of the Charleston Convention the delegates from California aud Oregon, with one exception, played second-tiddle to Yancey and his band of secessionists, Some little curiosity was manifested to ascertain who the delegate was that refused to become the tool of Yancey, and it appears that John Bidwell was the man. With the exception of Bidwell, every delegate from this coast voted to admit the Fernando Wood delegation—who represent an insignificant portion of the Hard faction in New York—to seats in the Convention. It appears that Senators Gwin and Lane telegraphed to the California aud Oregen delegates to leave the Convention with Yancey, and with the exception of Bidwell, they were on the poiat of doing so at one time, but from some cause changed their minds. From the brief re; ngs, telegraphed to the New we are led to believe that thoy in a body, but for the refueal of i them, Tue Ricuts or ti Pxerie.—The Journal wants us to define our own position on the question of slavery in the Territories, and then pats forth what purports to be the position of Douglas on the subject. We have read the most of Douglas’ published speeches and writings, aud do not remember having seen the words which the Journal puts into his mouth. Will the Jour. nal \jnform us when and where Douglas ever used such language as attributed to him ? Our own position on the question, as the Journal wishes te know it, is simply this: The people of a Territory, and of every distinct political community, have, or should have, the same right to legislate upon the subject of slavery as is possessed by the people of a State. If, as some contend, Congress possesses power to legislate for the Territories, then the right should be delegated by Congress to the people. But if the power is not vested in Congress, then the people have the right to legislate on the subject for themselves, under that clause of the Constitution which says: “All powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people,’ Thia clause does not confer any rights; it merely reserves to the people of the several States and Territories all their natural rights not expressly delegated by the Constitution to Congress, ‘ A Currency Movement,—Mr, Etheridge, of Tennessee, has introduced a bill into the House of Representatives, to establish and regulate a paper circulation for the whole Union. Its provisions are that the U. S. Treasurer, or Treasurers of the Mint and branches, shall reoeive deposits of geld and silver bullion, and give depositors certificates therefor, ia sums of from twenty to one thousand dollars, The certifcates are to be signed by the Secretary of the Treasury, or by some one deputed by him, and oountersigned by the officer receiving the deposits, and to be honored at all times at the U. S. Treasurer’s offices, and at the several Mints. Mr, Roberts, tie Director of the Philadelphia Mint, in a report some years ago, submitted a proposition for a uniform currevcy, similar to the provisions of the bill of Mr. Etheridge, We never believed iu the necessity, or policy, of substituting paper for gold and silver as a currency; but if we must have a paper currency the one proposed by Mr. Etheridge is certainly a great improvement upon that supplied by the banking ivstitutions of the eainiene .

There is no such party now. It has, with some honorable exceptions, become sunk in the locofoco party.

Mr. Botte, in making the announcement, saya he finds it atterly impossible to earry on the paper with any means at his command. He has spent upon the paper every dollar received by him from the State printing; is now overwhelmed with debt, and it is even now uncertain whether the proceeds of his office will eventually make him whole. It may seem in this State; but the fact isnot many of the “eixty thousand” take a daily paper, and those that do, take one for the news and not for the polis.

From this article it apted States was 19 per cent, of tie whole population; but in 1860/it. sil] Be but 13} per eent. —showing that. it.is relatively declising. To show how time and.growth have modified the political relations of the States and sections, the writer divides the ceuptry into four sections, viz: the old Northern States, the old Southern States, tho Northwest, and the Southwest, and gives the following table contrasting the representation of each in 1800 and in 1860 : In 1800, In 1860. The Ol4 North, viz: New England, New York, New dorsey, and Poon: MPLVOMIO 65 00. vedoevadedste Vovee 67 83 The Old South, viz : Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, the Carolinas, and The Northwest, viz; Ohio, Indiana, Iilinota, Michigan, Wisconsin, lown, Missouri and Minnesota... IS 73 The Southwest, viz: Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, Florida, ssinsfppi, Louisiana, Askansas, and texas The changes which this simple table presents are remarkable. The old South, which in 1800 had 49 per cent, of the entire representation, has now but 16 per cent., and but one half the vote of the Northwest which bad then not a solitary vote in Congress, If we go further, we find that the entire mass of slave-holding States (exclusive of Missouri) bas bat one more yote than the Northwest. The Northwest has grown twice as rapidly as the Southwest. A still more extraordinary result is produced when we compare the Atlantic States with the Valley of the Mississippi. In 1800 the Atlantic States had 104 votes in the House of Representatives, the Valley of the Mississippi 3. In 1860 the former will bave 118, the latter 112. At thie rate of growth, in another ten years the Mississippi Valley will outvote all other sections of tae Union; and since the Northwest grows double as fast as the Southweet, it will be safe to say that in another generation the north half of the Mississippi Valley, from the Alleghanies to the Rocky Mountaine, and from the Red River of the North to the mouth of the Ohio, will bave the majority ef votesin the House of Representatives. That region will then have thirteen States at least. The growth of the Pacific States will not prevent the resulf. Io the Presidential election of 1864, the free Biates will cast 196 votes, to the slave States 104, In the above estimates, the Pacific States are not included in eithor of the great sections; but three Representatives are left for this coast, the same number we have at present. Ino this respect the writer ig in error. Under the next apportionment it will require a population of about 130,000 for one Representative, and California will certainly be entitled to four; Oregon will have only one as at present—making five Representatives for the two States, As the interests of the Pacific States are closely identified with those of the Northwest, the rapid growth of that section should be a source of gratification to every citizen of this coast. The present white population of the Pacific Slope, including Oregon and California, and the Territories of Washington, Utah and Arizona, ie somewhat less than a million, and perhaps abont equal to the white population of the Mississippi Valley in 1800, The country west of the Rocky Mountains, thongh notas well adapted to agriculture as the Mississippi Valley, bas sufficient arable land to support a population of 50,000,000 souls; and when we consider that there has been a six fold increase in the hives that are sending out swarms to people the west, we may reasonably conclode that the growth of the Pacific Slope will be as rapid during the next sixty years, as has been that of the Mississippi Valley since 1800, 47 36 Tun Bropunrck MoNuUMENT.—The Alta gives a description of the several plans which have been submitted to the Committee for the Broderick Monument. Four plans were submitted by Messrs. Argenti & Paltenghi, and seven by Mr. D. Sullivan. The cost of these plans vary from $6,500 to $24,000. The Alta has also seen another large and splendid plan by some unknown person, but the cost of this plan would amount to a sum far beyond anything intended by the committee, and certainly far beyond their means. It isthe intention of the committee to meet this week and decide upon some one of the plans, but upon none to exceed $8,000. With about $5,000 already paid in, they feel warranted in making an engagement involving the sum of $8,000. The monument will be placed over the grave where the body now lies, in Lone Mountain Cemetery, on on elevation known as “Mount Vernon.” It is to be hoped that the monument will be commenced and well under way during the summer. Tus TaLecRare Patant.—On Wednesday last, in the U. 8. District Court, at San Francisco, Sam). B. F. Morse, of New York, Francis O. J. Smith, of Maine, Geo. T. Coalboard and Theodore Little of New Jersey, commenced a suit against the Placerville and St, Joseph Telegraph Co. and Frederick McCrellish, for an infringement vf their telegraph patent. It is alleged that Morse is now the owner of five eighths ofthe patent, and that he was the original discoverer of the improved method of telegraphing. The plaintiffs asked an injunction and a writ of subpoena commanding the defendants to appear and answer certain questions proposed in the bill. A temporary injunction was granted. SrinirvaL Rerreat.—zArchbishop Alemany, with some thirty other Catholic clergymen, held a spiritual retreat at the Mission Dolores, week before last. The object of the retreat, says the Monitor, isto have some time devoted solely to the spiritual advantage of the priests who attend, and for that reason withdraw from all exterior ocoupations. Prayer, meditations, instructions and spiritual reading constitute the exercises. The retreat commenced on Monday afternoon and concluded on Friday morning. The regular clergy of such religious orders as the Dominicans and Jesuits were not called by the Archbishop to the retreat, because, by their own rules, they make a longer one every year in their own houses. Txpiaw . Durrreuitizs ar Mono.—A dispatch to the San Francisco. papers from Genoa, says that a messenger had arrived there on Saturday from Monoville for assistance, reporting that Indian hostilities had broken outin that. region. Richard Vining had arrived at Monoville oy the 31st of May, and reported that three men in company with him had been killed near the lake by Indians, and that he barely escaped. The inhabitants of Monoville had organized two companies of valynteers to punish the Indians. The names of the men killed were Wilson, Jones and Hume, there being, however, ' some doubt about the latter. pears that in 1790 the colored race in the Unio ts from Pyramid Lake, arrived here menced, which lasted near three hours, In the first charge, Capt. Story, ofthe Virginia rifles, fell it is feared mortally wounded; the ball entering about three inches under his left-arm, ranging a little under his shoulder blade. Two of his men, Cameron and Phelps, were killed, and private Hasey, of the Nevada Rifles, wounded. Also, four of the regulars wounded. : The fight resulted in the Indians being driven back with a loss of twenty to twenty-five killed, judging from the number of bodies fourid, and the number of lost horses taken. “ All accounts speak of Col. Hays’ management in the highest terms of praise, and the men arein excellent spirits, notwithstanding they have been on less than half rations ever since they left their first camp. To-day (the 4th) the command was to have moved forward and a hard fight was expected as soon as they should reach the former battle ground as it has been ascertained that the Indians are in much larger force than was anticipated, and fight well. Up to this time over bodies of those who Tell in the first ill-fated expedition have been found, and among them, that of Major Ormsby. I only hear of three of these bodies being recognized—McCloud, McCarty and Elliott, None of them were. scalped, but much mutilated with stones etc. : An accident occurred in camp, on the evening of the Ist. Private, Fletcher, of the Virginia Rifles, went to take his gun from the stack, when another gun fell on the hammer of his, which caused it to go off. The ball passed through his neck, causing almost instant death. 2 The latest news of Capt. Story’s condition—twenty hours after receiving the wound—report him better, and there are some hopes of his recovery. From Carson VALLEY.—The following is a dispatch to the Sacramento Bee, dated at Miller’s Station, June 2d.: R. J. Wood, a party of thirty-eight men, nine families, eleven wagons and sixty head of cattle, thirtyfive days out from Salt Lake, have just arrived here, and report that they had « pleasant trip, and no difficulty with Indians, Sam, Hamilton arrived this morning from Sand Springs, bringing all the Pony Express stock and men. He reports that the Indians have stolen the stock at Dry Creek and Simpson’s Park Stations. Nothing can be heard from any stations woread Sand Springs, as the Indians have eut them off, and it is feared have destroyed two or three stations, Lieut. McCleary and compen K, Sixth Infantry, left here this morning for yramid Lake. Nothing new from the army to-day. The army express not arrived yet. Another dispatch says : The Pony Express will be drawn off for a time. It is impossible to get an Express through to Salt Lake, unless the route is protected by troops. The Company hope to be able to resume the Express in two or three weeks. The following dispatch, from Mr. Ruffin, the road agent of the Pony Express, at Miller's Station, May 8ist, was reccived by Mr. Finney : I have just returned from Cold Springs—was drivy the Indians who attacked us night before last. The men at Dry Creek Station have been killed, and it is thought the Roberts Creek Station has been destroyed. The Express turned back after hearing the news from Dry Creek. Eight animals were stolen from Cold Springs on Monday. Hamilton is at the Sink of the Carson, on his way in with all the men and horses. Suprosep Dratu or SeNaton Watson.—A Mr. Bryant, of San Jose, who has lately returned from Washoe, is of the opinion that J. A. Watson, Senator from Santa Cruz and Monterey, has been killed by the Indians. The last heard of Watson, he was at Ragtown, from whence he wrote that he was well and safe, and that the exploring company in which he had engaged would make no hostile demonstration against the Indians. Mr. Watson joined the company of Capt. Burns, consisting of about eighteen men, who marched northward to the Truckee river, and Mr. Bryant states that on Thursday May 17th, a peaceable Indian arrived at Genoa with the information that three days before, which was on the 14th of May, Capt. Burns’ company had a fight with the Indians at a point called by some, Mud Lake, and by others Black Rock, near the Truckee, and that all the whites were killed. The Indian further stated that a great many ofthe Indians were killed in the conflict. This account, Mr, Bryant says, was confirmed by three white men .who shortly after arrived, and who had witnes the fight from a hill some distance off, but were in no way connected with the Burns party. Reiier ror THR VOLUNTEERS.—A large meeting was held in San Francisco, last Friday after. noon, to adopt measures for the relief of the volunteers now engaged in service in Western Utah, under Col. Hays. A committee of ten was appointed to solicit subscriptions for that purpose. The committee was empowered to carry out the object of the meeting, and make a proper distribution of the funds they may collect. Untversarist Convuntion.—The friends of Universalism from all portions of the State, are requested to meet in Convention at Benicia, on the 1éth, 16th and 17th daysof this month. One of the objects of this Convention is to inaugurate mere efficient measures forthe diffusion of Universalist principles among the masses. MARRIED.

". by the Newada Water Co , the by Messrs. Charles Mareh & Co. The Water ComOctavian Hoogs is our Agent for San Francisco. He is authorized to receive advertisement, and collect and pany propore to enlarge their reservoir on Lost Hill, if the Trustees deem it necessary, and lay down six-inch cast-iron pipes, contiecting with their works.at.the corner.ofBroad. and. Pine streets, through Pine, Commereial and Maia streets to the Theater, and down Broad street to Sanford’s store. Connecting with the main pipe on Broad street they propose to put down two ¢ast-iron pipes, of four inches diameter, running through to Spring street, and two of the same size through to Commercial street, witb a fire-plog at the end of each. On the larger pipes they put in fire-plugs at distances not to exceed two hundred feet apart. The city to have the use of the water free for fire purposes, and fer practising by regularly organized fire companies one day in each week. In retarn, the city is te guarantee the company the exclusive right to supply the city with water, by means of pipes laid through the streets, for the period of twenty yeare. Marsh & Co. propose to proeure # reservoir capable of containing 1,200,000 gallons of water, at an altitude of fifty feet above the highest point in the city where water will be needed for extinguishing Gres; to lay a cast-iron pipe, of teh inches in diameter, from the reservoir to the Methodist Church on,Broad street, an eightineb pipe from the Methodist Oharch to the cornet of Broad and Pine streets, and six-ineb pipes to connect through Commercial, Main, Pine, Spring and Church streets, They farther propose to furaish water for fire purposes sufficient to flow through and fill three hose and pipes of one inch nozzle, in any portion of the town along the course of the main and branch pipes; also, water for sprinkling the streets, in free use'to the city. The city is to be at the expense of the fire-plugs, which they propose to place along the live of their pipes at such positions as may be designated by the Board of Trustees, In consideration of the above, they ack the sole and exclusive right of supplying the city with water by means of pipes, for the period of twenty years, “the already vested rights of others reniaining undisturbed,” and the property to he exempt from taxation, Marsh & Co, could not assign a tiwe for the completion of their work, until they could ascertain whether the pipe could be procured in this State. In consequence of this, the propositions were both laid over until next Thursday evening, when they will be acted on. Whatever may be doue in the mutter by the Board will of course be submitted to a vote of the people for ratidcation, and probably both propositions will be submitted and the citizens allowed their choice. As some changes may be made in the propositions, before Gnal action is taken it is unnecessary at present to point out the advantages and disadvantages of each. for the same. Jr.j id our Agent at Sacramento, to sebtitaratihentc lod collect for the same, : d exeeaeereseinnnnmantegne no a NEVADA, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 6, 1 A daring robbery was perpetrated on Monday evening, at a place ca!led Mountain Springs, between Dutch Flat and Iowa Hill, in Placer county. About half past ten o’clock two men entered the store.of Brown & Co., drew revol‘vers upon Brown and bis ‘clerk, and told them keep perfectly quict or they would be shot in their, tracks, The .robbers were soon jeined by two accomplices, when Brown and the clerk were taken to # back room, bound se¢urely with ropes, and gagged so that it was impossible for them to make a particle of noise. The robbers thea proceeded at their leisure to search the store, and succeeded in finding $1,200 worth of gold dust, considerable coin and two gold watobes, which they carrried off. In about an hour after the villains bad left, the clerk janiaged to free Wimself, when the alarm was given and parties started ont in different direotions in pursoitof the robbers. . This robbery wae perpetrated in & town of “two or three hundred inbabitants, and at an ‘hour in the evening before many of them bad retired to their beds. A number of the citizens had spent the evening in the store and left not more than fifteen or twenty minutes before the robbers entered. Every thing must bave been ¢enducted in a very quiet manner, as the least anusedl noise would have been heard and noticed by people living in the vicinity. One of 5 it.of the robbers» arrived in Soshun ax o’olook yesterday morning, and gave information to the officers here, and every means will be taken to arrest the perpetrators and bring them to, justice. Late ion evening we learned that a man named Dan. Smith, whe ia yy tu be one of the robbers, was arin Grasse Valley, and lodged io jail. Penmanenoy oy AMertoan Instrrvtions.—On eur first page will be found » letter from the late English historian, Macauley, upon Ameri. ean institutions. However much we may disdent from the views of the English historian, his opinions will be read with interest, and perhaps with profit. There is nothing novel in ley’s views; they have been the standing @ootrine of the European aristocracy ever since éur government ws instituted, and we have some aristocrats in sur own coantry who enfertaio similar sentiments, Senator Hammond, of “mud-sill” notoriety, is an example of the latter class, At first they predicted a speedy breaking up or chango in the form of government, and fifty years was the utmost limit assigned for the existence of our institutions. Their predictions, which were in accordance with their wishes, having failed, they still maintain the same doctrine, bat have postponed for ® century or two the evil day, Macauley, during the latter part of his life, no doubt honestly entertained the opinions set forth in his létter, bat hie premises are based upon a knowledge of the character aod habits of the lower elaases of Europe, rather than of the American masees, his conclusions are liable to be at fault. dangers which he supposes threaten our institutions are several ‘centuries in the future, end for us of the present generation it isenough to know that our government is as well adapted eve wants and condition of the people as any tcan be devised, Tus Pactric Deneaation at Coaniestoy.— During the proceedings of the Charleston Convention the delegates from California aud Oregon, with one exception, played second-tiddle to Yancey and his band of secessionists, Some little curiosity was manifested to ascertain who the delegate was that refused to become the tool of Yancey, and it appears that John Bidwell was the man. With the exception of Bidwell, every delegate from this coast voted to admit the Fernando Wood delegation—who represent an insignificant portion of the Hard faction in New York—to seats in the Convention. It appears that Senators Gwin and Lane telegraphed to the California aud Oregen delegates to leave the Convention with Yancey, and with the exception of Bidwell, they were on the poiat of doing so at one time, but from some cause changed their minds. From the brief re; ngs, telegraphed to the New we are led to believe that thoy in a body, but for the refueal of i them, Tue Ricuts or ti Pxerie.—The Journal wants us to define our own position on the question of slavery in the Territories, and then pats forth what purports to be the position of Douglas on the subject. We have read the most of Douglas’ published speeches and writings, aud do not remember having seen the words which the Journal puts into his mouth. Will the Jour. nal \jnform us when and where Douglas ever used such language as attributed to him ? Our own position on the question, as the Journal wishes te know it, is simply this: The people of a Territory, and of every distinct political community, have, or should have, the same right to legislate upon the subject of slavery as is possessed by the people of a State. If, as some contend, Congress possesses power to legislate for the Territories, then the right should be delegated by Congress to the people. But if the power is not vested in Congress, then the people have the right to legislate on the subject for themselves, under that clause of the Constitution which says: “All powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people,’ Thia clause does not confer any rights; it merely reserves to the people of the several States and Territories all their natural rights not expressly delegated by the Constitution to Congress, ‘ A Currency Movement,—Mr, Etheridge, of Tennessee, has introduced a bill into the House of Representatives, to establish and regulate a paper circulation for the whole Union. Its provisions are that the U. S. Treasurer, or Treasurers of the Mint and branches, shall reoeive deposits of geld and silver bullion, and give depositors certificates therefor, ia sums of from twenty to one thousand dollars, The certifcates are to be signed by the Secretary of the Treasury, or by some one deputed by him, and oountersigned by the officer receiving the deposits, and to be honored at all times at the U. S. Treasurer’s offices, and at the several Mints. Mr, Roberts, tie Director of the Philadelphia Mint, in a report some years ago, submitted a proposition for a uniform currevcy, similar to the provisions of the bill of Mr. Etheridge, We never believed iu the necessity, or policy, of substituting paper for gold and silver as a currency; but if we must have a paper currency the one proposed by Mr. Etheridge is certainly a great improvement upon that supplied by the banking ivstitutions of the eainiene .

Mr. Botte, in making the announcement, saya he finds it atterly impossible to earry on the paper with any means at his command. He has spent upon the paper every dollar received by him from the State printing; is now overwhelmed with debt, and it is even now uncertain whether the proceeds of his office will eventually make him whole. It may seem in this State; but the fact isnot many of the “eixty thousand” take a daily paper, and those that do, take one for the news and not for the polis.

From this article it apted States was 19 per cent, of tie whole population; but in 1860/it. sil] Be but 13} per eent. —showing that. it.is relatively declising. To show how time and.growth have modified the political relations of the States and sections, the writer divides the ceuptry into four sections, viz: the old Northern States, the old Southern States, tho Northwest, and the Southwest, and gives the following table contrasting the representation of each in 1800 and in 1860 : In 1800, In 1860. The Ol4 North, viz: New England, New York, New dorsey, and Poon: MPLVOMIO 65 00. vedoevadedste Vovee 67 83 The Old South, viz : Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, the Carolinas, and The Northwest, viz; Ohio, Indiana, Iilinota, Michigan, Wisconsin, lown, Missouri and Minnesota..... IS 73 The Southwest, viz: Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, Florida, ssinsfppi, Louisiana, Askansas, and texas The changes which this simple table presents are remarkable. The old South, which in 1800 had 49 per cent, of the entire representation, has now but 16 per cent., and but one half the vote of the Northwest which bad then not a solitary vote in Congress, If we go further, we find that the entire mass of slave-holding States (exclusive of Missouri) bas bat one more yote than the Northwest. The Northwest has grown twice as rapidly as the Southwest. A still more extraordinary result is produced when we compare the Atlantic States with the Valley of the Mississippi. In 1800 the Atlantic States had 104 votes in the House of Representatives, the Valley of the Mississippi 3. In 1860 the former will bave 118, the latter 112. At thie rate of growth, in another ten years the Mississippi Valley will outvote all other sections of tae Union; and since the Northwest grows double as fast as the Southweet, it will be safe to say that in another generation the north half of the Mississippi Valley, from the Alleghanies to the Rocky Mountaine, and from the Red River of the North to the mouth of the Ohio, will bave the majority ef votesin the House of Representatives. That region will then have thirteen States at least. The growth of the Pacific States will not prevent the resulf. Io the Presidential election of 1864, the free Biates will cast 196 votes, to the slave States 104, In the above estimates, the Pacific States are not included in eithor of the great sections; but three Representatives are left for this coast, the same number we have at present. Ino this respect the writer ig in error. Under the next apportionment it will require a population of about 130,000 for one Representative, and California will certainly be entitled to four; Oregon will have only one as at present—making five Representatives for the two States, As the interests of the Pacific States are closely identified with those of the Northwest, the rapid growth of that section should be a source of gratification to every citizen of this coast. The present white population of the Pacific Slope, including Oregon and California, and the Territories of Washington, Utah and Arizona, ie somewhat less than a million, and perhaps abont equal to the white population of the Mississippi Valley in 1800, The country west of the Rocky Mountains, thongh notas well adapted to agriculture as the Mississippi Valley, bas sufficient arable land to support a population of 50,000,000 souls; and when we consider that there has been a six fold increase in the hives that are sending out swarms to people the west, we may reasonably conclode that the growth of the Pacific Slope will be as rapid during the next sixty years, as has been that of the Mississippi Valley since 1800, 47 36 Tun Bropunrck MoNuUMENT.—The Alta gives a description of the several plans which have been submitted to the Committee for the Broderick Monument. Four plans were submitted by Messrs. Argenti & Paltenghi, and seven by Mr. D. Sullivan. The cost of these plans vary from $6,500 to $24,000. The Alta has also seen another large and splendid plan by some unknown person, but the cost of this plan would amount to a sum far beyond anything intended by the committee, and certainly far beyond their means. It isthe intention of the committee to meet this week and decide upon some one of the plans, but upon none to exceed $8,000. With about $5,000 already paid in, they feel warranted in making an engagement involving the sum of $8,000. The monument will be placed over the grave where the body now lies, in Lone Mountain Cemetery, on on elevation known as “Mount Vernon.” It is to be hoped that the monument will be commenced and well under way during the summer. Tus TaLecRare Patant.—On Wednesday last, in the U. 8. District Court, at San Francisco, Sam). B. F. Morse, of New York, Francis O. J. Smith, of Maine, Geo. T. Coalboard and Theodore Little of New Jersey, commenced a suit against the Placerville and St, Joseph Telegraph Co. and Frederick McCrellish, for an infringement vf their telegraph patent. It is alleged that Morse is now the owner of five eighths ofthe patent, and that he was the original discoverer of the improved method of telegraphing. The plaintiffs asked an injunction and a writ of subpoena commanding the defendants to appear and answer certain questions proposed in the bill. A temporary injunction was granted. SrinirvaL Rerreat.—zArchbishop Alemany, with some thirty other Catholic clergymen, held a spiritual retreat at the Mission Dolores, week before last. The object of the retreat, says the Monitor, isto have some time devoted solely to the spiritual advantage of the priests who attend, and for that reason withdraw from all exterior ocoupations. Prayer, meditations, instructions and spiritual reading constitute the exercises. The retreat commenced on Monday afternoon and concluded on Friday morning. The regular clergy of such religious orders as the Dominicans and Jesuits were not called by the Archbishop to the retreat, because, by their own rules, they make a longer one every year in their own houses. Txpiaw . Durrreuitizs ar Mono.—A dispatch to the San Francisco. papers from Genoa, says that a messenger had arrived there on Saturday from Monoville for assistance, reporting that Indian hostilities had broken outin that. region. Richard Vining had arrived at Monoville oy the 31st of May, and reported that three men in company with him had been killed near the lake by Indians, and that he barely escaped. The inhabitants of Monoville had organized two companies of valynteers to punish the Indians. The names of the men killed were Wilson, Jones and Hume, there being, however, ' some doubt about the latter. pears that in 1790 the colored race in the Unio ts from Pyramid Lake, arrived here menced, which lasted near three hours, In the first charge, Capt. Story, ofthe Virginia rifles, fell it is feared mortally wounded; the ball entering about three inches under his left-arm, ranging a little under his shoulder blade. Two of his men, Cameron and Phelps, were killed, and private Hasey, of the Nevada Rifles, wounded. Also, four of the regulars wounded. : The fight resulted in the Indians being driven back with a loss of twenty to twenty-five killed, judging from the number of bodies fourid, and the number of lost horses taken. “ All accounts speak of Col. Hays’ management in the highest terms of praise, and the men arein excellent spirits, notwithstanding they have been on less than half rations ever since they left their first camp. To-day (the 4th) the command was to have moved forward and a hard fight was expected as soon as they should reach the former battle ground as it has been ascertained that the Indians are in much larger force than was anticipated, and fight well. Up to this time over bodies of those who Tell in the first ill-fated expedition have been found, and among them, that of Major Ormsby. I only hear of three of these bodies being recognized—McCloud, McCarty and Elliott, None of them were. scalped, but much mutilated with stones etc. : An accident occurred in camp, on the evening of the Ist. Private, Fletcher, of the Virginia Rifles, went to take his gun from the stack, when another gun fell on the hammer of his, which caused it to go off. The ball passed through his neck, causing almost instant death. 2 The latest news of Capt. Story’s condition—twenty hours after receiving the wound—report him better, and there are some hopes of his recovery. From Carson VALLEY.—The following is a dispatch to the Sacramento Bee, dated at Miller’s Station, June 2d.: R. J. Wood, a party of thirty-eight men, nine families, eleven wagons and sixty head of cattle, thirtyfive days out from Salt Lake, have just arrived here, and report that they had « pleasant trip, and no difficulty with Indians, Sam, Hamilton arrived this morning from Sand Springs, bringing all the Pony Express stock and men. He reports that the Indians have stolen the stock at Dry Creek and Simpson’s Park Stations.

Nothing can be heard from any stations woread Sand Springs, as the Indians have eut them off, and it is feared have destroyed two or three stations, Lieut. McCleary and compen K, Sixth Infantry, left here this morning for yramid Lake. Nothing new from the army to-day. The army express not arrived yet. Another dispatch says : The Pony Express will be drawn off for a time. It is impossible to get an Express through to Salt Lake, unless the route is protected by troops. The Company hope to be able to resume the Express in two or three weeks. The following dispatch, from Mr. Ruffin, the road agent of the Pony Express, at Miller's Station, May 8ist, was reccived by Mr. Finney : I have just returned from Cold Springs—was drivy the Indians who attacked us night before last. The men at Dry Creek Station have been killed, and it is thought the Roberts Creek Station has been destroyed. The Express turned back after hearing the news from Dry Creek. Eight animals were stolen from Cold Springs on Monday. Hamilton is at the Sink of the Carson, on his way in with all the men and horses. Suprosep Dratu or SeNaton Watson.—A Mr. Bryant, of San Jose, who has lately returned from Washoe, is of the opinion that J. A. Watson, Senator from Santa Cruz and Monterey, has been killed by the Indians. The last heard of Watson, he was at Ragtown, from whence he wrote that he was well and safe, and that the exploring company in which he had engaged would make no hostile demonstration against the Indians. Mr. Watson joined the company of Capt. Burns, consisting of about eighteen men, who marched northward to the Truckee river, and Mr. Bryant states that on Thursday May 17th, a peaceable Indian arrived at Genoa with the information that three days before, which was on the 14th of May, Capt. Burns’ company had a fight with the Indians at a point called by some, Mud Lake, and by others Black Rock, near the Truckee, and that all the whites were killed. The Indian further stated that a great many ofthe Indians were killed in the conflict. This account, Mr, Bryant says, was confirmed by three white men .who shortly after arrived, and who had witnes the fight from a hill some distance off, but were in no way connected with the Burns party. Reiier ror THR VOLUNTEERS.—A large meeting was held in San Francisco, last Friday after. noon, to adopt measures for the relief of the volunteers now engaged in service in Western Utah, under Col. Hays. A committee of ten was appointed to solicit subscriptions for that purpose. The committee was empowered to carry out the object of the meeting, and make a proper distribution of the funds they may collect. Untversarist Convuntion.—The friends of Universalism from all portions of the State, are requested to meet in Convention at Benicia, on the 1éth, 16th and 17th daysof this month. One of the objects of this Convention is to inaugurate mere efficient measures forthe diffusion of Universalist principles among the masses. MARRIED.
