In 1860, 167 towns elected Republican officers, and 71 elected Democrats. This spring, the Republicans carried 171 towns, and the Democrats 68. Local causes of course would have much ifluence on the result of these elections; but it appears that each party nominated candi-dates in the different towns.

He holds that the act violates two separate provisions of the Constitution. The case will be appealed to the Supreme Court. ea anne Tuenre is a sublime insolence about John Chinaman.

Io order to accomplish this, it is proposed to discontinne the useless contracts, change the bids for the other contracts to “star’’ bids, abolish the postofiices that are an expense, raise letter postage to five cents, double the postage on printed matter, and abolish the franking privilege. The postal expenditures in the seven seceded States bave heretofore amounted to more than three times the receipts, and as an increase of postage would cause a great decrease of correspondence, the postal facilities will have to be materially abridged to make the system self-sustaining. Savines In New Yorx.—The Superintendent of the New York Banking Department reports the amount of deposits in the savings banks of that State, on the lst of January, 1861, as $67,440,379 ; an increase of nearly $10,000,090 over the amount of deposits January lst 1860. Every thirtieth inhabitants of the State isa depositor, and the average to each is about $224. The deposits in savings banks are made almost exclusively by laborers and mechanics.

Nature has been bountiful indeed to this favored land; for with the products of the temperate zones, are raised side by side many of those of the tropics. It is a land literally of fruits and flowers. We have within our vorders the elements of a nation. ral capacity cannot be excelled; and our genial climate is perfectly ada to the wants and propagation of animal life of the useful kind; . and it depends upon ourselves whether we will . develop and bring to perfection, these elements of true greatness or not. Plainly it is our duty to do so in all proper ways, and while the snbject is —— the attention of many other . e S counties in t tate, am unwilling to have Nevada pass without exhibiting something of . her own resources, confident as I am that she . will bear a favorable comparison in agricultural and mining capabilities with the most favored . mountain counties in the State. : It is for the purpose of bringing to public inspection, and of concentrating a knowledge of our own resources, that the State Agricultural Society is formed. It is the object of this Society, as declared in its constitutional laws, ‘to encourage the cultivation of the soil, and the general development of all agricultural resources of the State.” “To foster every branch of mechanical and household art, calculated to increase the happiness of home life.” “To extend and facilitate the various branch. es of mining and mining interest.” Surely Nevada is behind no county in the . State in the aggregate of its general capabilities which for intelligence, for industry, for machinery and its application, for inventive genius and . for perseverance, we yield the palm to none. Shallave not then, fellow citizens, be seen and heard from at the next State Fair? Shall we not havea niche inthe Exhibition Room dedicated tothe products of Nevada, which shall reflect honor to our beloved county? Let every farmer, every miner, every mechanic and gardener, every lady with her beautiful handiwork, respond with a telling Aye! And let old Nevada become the banner county of the mountains, if not of the State. In order to insure the succes of the Society, to pay the premiums to successful candidates, a fund is necessary. This is raised by an initiation fee of ten dollars, and if they desire to continue members, they can do so by “contributing five dollars annually thereafter.” Seetion 4 says: ‘Any citizen being a member of this Society shall be eligible to office, entitled to vote, receive a certificate of membership, anda printed copy of the constitution, and such other matter as the Society shall publish—shall enjoy the free use of the library, under the rules of the same, and have free admission, accompanied by two ladies, to all exhibitions of the Society, and shall be permitted to compete for premiums in any or all departments.” Fellow citizens, let us hear from you. The undersigned is authorized to receive applications for membership, and all applications accompanied by the inittation fee of: ten dollars will be forwarded at once and a certificate returned as s0OR as ~ be. A. DELANO, s fice Pres’t 14th Judicial District. Tax Taunperer’s Reprimanp.—A late number of the London Times gives the Americans a slight reprimand for their “inflated boastings’’ of the past. It says our people “have taken credit not only for the great qualities which are really their own, but for all that Providence bas given them.” . But in the midst of this self-laudation our government has begun to fall to pieces, The Times continues: A politician of good sense and feeling must therefore remember with chargrin a great deal of the eloquence which has been hitherto fashionable. But nothing ought he to regret more than the manner in which he and his countrymen have been accustomed to speak of England. After pointing out that England was inferior in . size to the single State of Virginia, a speaker would commonly describe the people of this country as envying the prosperity of America, proting to arrest her progress, misrepresenting er institutions, slandering her statesmen, and in fact doing all which envy is capable of when it meets with superior virtue, energy and success. How far these assertions have been from the . truth must now be plain to the whole world. That the Americans believed them we have no doubt, for the Southern politicians have notoriously been counting on the hostility of England to the Union. ey thought that their secession would be received with delight by the English. people, and assisted with every Machi. avellian art by our “aristocratic” Government. The event has been a surprise even to the most enlightened Americans, to those who knew England best, and believed least in our antipath to their country. Not only has the English press shown no joy at secession, given no ena to the South, and turned away from t as it lay in its power, strengthened the Federal . Government,, by earnest expressions of sympa. thy, and by advice which, perhaps, will not be wholly without effect. ‘The violence of the South} ern leaders, the treason of a section of the President’s Cabinet, and the weakness of Mr. Buchanan himself, were viewed by English sociey with a disapprobation which has influenced merican opinion; an@if more vigorous measures for the salvation of the Republic be taken, it will probably be in some measure due to the fact that Englishmen have openly expressed their astonishment at the docrine that the United States constitute not a aation, but a partnership of communities united only for convenience and during pleasure. But to the verdict of the public is now added the forma! judgment of the Government and the Legislature. FataL Accipent.—On Sunda March 37th, near Wisconsin Hill, ty,a man by the name of David evening, crossing a log over a cut about eighteen feet deep, his foot slipped and he was "precipitated into the cut ona pile of stones, and received pant inn that Peed on y me on was a native of [rel and aged 33 veurs.

Mile Creek flume, by means of picks or crowbars, or some similar instruments, and damaged about a hundred rods more, by knockin . off the yokes or cross-pieces which support the sides. Fears are entertained that much eater outrages have been committed up in the mountains, as the supply of water in the other ditches had fallen off considerably. A BArnyarp Oprnton.—A friend of ours, not long since, attended a ball in one of the rural districts represented by Sam Merritt, of Mariposa. He danced frequently during the evening with a sensible but very frank young lady purporting to come, originally, from Arkansas. In the course of a rather confidential conversation she remarked, “I don’t go much on the young fellers around here.” “Why?” he naturally inquired. ‘Because they’ve got no . sand in their crops, and when you talk sense to ‘’em they don’t cluck!”” Our friend erowed and left that roost.—[Alameda Gazette. . Cantrornta Coat.—The amount of coal . shipped from the Cumberland and Black Dia/mond coal mines (Mount Diablo) to San Francisco, is reported to be between seven and eight hundred tons. The tunnels of the mines are situated fifteen hundred feet above the level of the Bay. The consumption of coal in California last year was eighty thousand tons, of which . the amount supplied from the Pacific coast was only fifteen thousand tons. The Solano Herald thinks the Cumberland and Black Diamond . mines alone will yield fifty thousand tons per year. . Snot THE WronG Man.—The Napa Re. porter says that on the 20th instant an attempt . was made to rob the store of Lynch Brothers. . Thomas Lynch, hearing a noise, got up and opened the door, when it was violently thrust in by three men, knocking him down. One of ' the men struck him on the head, inflicting a se. vere wound. Mr. Lynch’s brother, Patrick, coming to his assistance, fired at the rascals, but unfortunately hit Mr. Lynch in the bone of . the arm some two inches below the elbow. Mr. . Lynch is doing well. . Ovricrat intelligence has reached Washing. ton of the death of the Hon, Augustus Hall, . Chief Justice of Nebraska Territory.

It is the object of this Society, as declared in its constitutional laws, ‘to encourage the cultivation of the soil, and the general development of all agricultural resources of the State.” “To foster every branch of mechanical and household art, calculated to increase the happiness of home life.” “To extend and facilitate the various branch. es of mining and mining interest.” Surely Nevada is behind no county in the . State in the aggregate of its general capabilities which for intelligence, for industry, for machinery and its application, for inventive genius and . for perseverance, we yield the palm to none. Shallave not then, fellow citizens, be seen and heard from at the next State Fair? Shall we not havea niche inthe Exhibition Room dedicated tothe products of Nevada, which shall reflect honor to our beloved county? Let every farmer, every miner, every mechanic and gardener, every lady with her beautiful handiwork, respond with a telling Aye! And let old Nevada become the banner county of the mountains, if not of the State. In order to insure the succes of the Society, to pay the premiums to successful candidates, a fund is necessary. This is raised by an initiation fee of ten dollars, and if they desire to continue members, they can do so by “contributing five dollars annually thereafter.” Seetion 4 says: ‘Any citizen being a member of this Society shall be eligible to office, entitled to vote, receive a certificate of membership, anda printed copy of the constitution, and such other matter as the Society shall publish—shall enjoy the free use of the library, under the rules of the same, and have free admission, accompanied by two ladies, to all exhibitions of the Society, and shall be permitted to compete for premiums in any or all departments.” Fellow citizens, let us hear from you. The undersigned is authorized to receive applications for membership, and all applications accompanied by the inittation fee of: ten dollars will be forwarded at once and a certificate returned as s0OR as ~ be. A. DELANO, s fice Pres’t 14th Judicial District. Tax Taunperer’s Reprimanp.—A late number of the London Times gives the Americans a slight reprimand for their “inflated boastings’’ of the past. It says our people “have taken credit not only for the great qualities which are really their own, but for all that Providence bas given them.” . But in the midst of this self-laudation our government has begun to fall to pieces, The Times continues: A politician of good sense and feeling must therefore remember with chargrin a great deal of the eloquence which has been hitherto fashionable. But nothing ought he to regret more than the manner in which he and his countrymen have been accustomed to speak of England. After pointing out that England was inferior in . size to the single State of Virginia, a speaker would commonly describe the people of this

country as envying the prosperity of America, proting to arrest her progress, misrepresenting er institutions, slandering her statesmen, and in fact doing all which envy is capable of when it meets with superior virtue, energy and success. How far these assertions have been from the . truth must now be plain to the whole world. That the Americans believed them we have no doubt, for the Southern politicians have notoriously been counting on the hostility of England to the Union. ey thought that their secession would be received with delight by the English. people, and assisted with every Machi. avellian art by our “aristocratic” Government. The event has been a surprise even to the most enlightened Americans, to those who knew England best, and believed least in our antipath to their country. Not only has the English press shown no joy at secession, given no ena to the South, and turned away from t as it lay in its power, strengthened the Federal . Government,, by earnest expressions of sympa. thy, and by advice which, perhaps, will not be wholly without effect. ‘The violence of the South} ern leaders, the treason of a section of the President’s Cabinet, and the weakness of Mr. Buchanan himself, were viewed by English sociey with a disapprobation which has influenced merican opinion; an@if more vigorous measures for the salvation of the Republic be taken, it will probably be in some measure due to the fact that Englishmen have openly expressed their astonishment at the docrine that the United States constitute not a aation, but a partnership of communities united only for convenience and during pleasure. But to the verdict of the public is now added the forma! judgment of the Government and the Legislature. FataL Accipent.—On Sunda March 37th, near Wisconsin Hill, ty,a man by the name of David evening, crossing a log over a cut about eighteen feet deep, his foot slipped and he was "precipitated into the cut ona pile of stones, and received pant inn that Peed on y me on was a native of [rel and aged 33 veurs.

Mel More Dire ydra chee of late; and on Wednesday last a parof five men, whose tracks were traceable, totally destroyed some thirty rods of the Five . Mile Creek flume, by means of picks or crowbars, or some similar instruments, and damaged about a hundred rods more, by knockin . off the yokes or cross-pieces which support the sides. Fears are entertained that much eater outrages have been committed up in the mountains, as the supply of water in the other ditches had fallen off considerably. A BArnyarp Oprnton.—A friend of ours, not long since, attended a ball in one of the rural districts represented by Sam Merritt, of Mariposa. He danced frequently during the evening with a sensible but very frank young lady purporting to come, originally, from Arkansas. In the course of a rather confidential conversation she remarked, “I don’t go much on the young fellers around here.” “Why?” he naturally inquired. ‘Because they’ve got no . sand in their crops, and when you talk sense to ‘’em they don’t cluck!”” Our friend erowed and left that roost.—[Alameda Gazette. . Cantrornta Coat.—The amount of coal . shipped from the Cumberland and Black Dia/mond coal mines (Mount Diablo) to San Francisco, is reported to be between seven and eight hundred tons. The tunnels of the mines are situated fifteen hundred feet above the level of the Bay. The consumption of coal in California last year was eighty thousand tons, of which . the amount supplied from the Pacific coast was only fifteen thousand tons. The Solano Herald thinks the Cumberland and Black Diamond . mines alone will yield fifty thousand tons per year. . Snot THE WronG Man.—The Napa Re. porter says that on the 20th instant an attempt . was made to rob the store of Lynch Brothers. . Thomas Lynch, hearing a noise, got up and opened the door, when it was violently thrust in by three men, knocking him down. One of ' the men struck him on the head, inflicting a se. vere wound. Mr. Lynch’s brother, Patrick, coming to his assistance, fired at the rascals, but unfortunately hit Mr. Lynch in the bone of . the arm some two inches below the elbow. Mr. . Lynch is doing well. . Ovricrat intelligence has reached Washing. ton of the death of the Hon, Augustus Hall, . Chief Justice of Nebraska Territory. He died at his residence, near Bellevue, in that Territo. ry, on the first day of February. . encanto ——=— OrnoviL_e Race Tracx.—The Spring races on this course under the auspices of the Jockey Club, will commence on the 7th of May, and will continue five days.
