T) which we are governed. When we reflect that . oftimes the, Democratic State Convention, A controversy seems to prevail in the ranks of the demecracy with reference to the prepriety or expediency of assembling a convention te nominate the two State officers for election in the approaching fall. Were it not for the difference which has arisen out of the Kansas embroglio we apprehend that few would be found to insist upon a convention. There would be little danger of the election of any bat democrats, and the most deserving and best qualified fur the positions would in all probability receive the popular suffrage. The plan suggested by the Placer Herald of asking the eounty conventions to assemble at an early day and designate their choice, would assist doubtTess in concentrating the popular democratic vote. It is safe to assume that by such means the expense and trouble of calling together the representatives of the party from the length and bredth of the State might be avoided. A few indiscreet Hotspurs who are ever ready to peril all and to ‘‘cavil wpon the ninth part of a hair,” are found hewever, who putting at naught all considerations of prudence can see no motive for those who oppose the convention, terests which find their way to the calender of In life but a fear of the estricism which awaits the Fears th ta.

It may be said that alihough we have had repeated decisions of cases with regard to these rights still but little progress has been made towards establishing 9 safe rule of action, and to farnish «reliable precedent for the future. These considerations it seems to us should have influenced the selection ef at least one member of the court, from its first organization down from amongst the lawyers practising in the mining counties, The experience in this new department of the law which is gained by a duily intercourse with the people engaged in this business, would surely better qualify the jurist to pasa upon the questions invelved in mining cases. We place our advocacy therefore of a member of the court from the mining region upon the ground that it is demanded by the best interests of its great productive populaHe ese) dreaded, « tality, wit the strengt unsubdued. green old ags tions of the bv State papers, the have pursued the ¢ posing southern in’ question, and nerthern sas question, but yet noise: in your purposes to do right, S ed as eviddnce of a hardy and robue. then do I believe thee neither faded in inw™ gentlemen would take time to reflect they might possibly doubt somewhat when the shells were gathered together, which would pass into banishment. Let the voice of the democracy alone be heard and we have no fears for the result. To preserve the party in its integrity as it is, without affiliations with Black Republicanism or any other ism should be the highest aim at this time of every true democrat. We stood in solid column against the assault of a sectional party of portentious strength in the last Presidential election, and in its defeat exulted in what we honestly believed te be the triumph of conservative principles over the spirit of fanaticism. What democrat has failed in his faith since then, or can bese blind as not to diseera in the disruption of his party, the final success of the Black Republicans and their natural alies the abolitionists. We do not hesitate to declare therefore that a fear of creating @ ecism in the party; of precipitating an issue that may lead to disastrous results for the country, may in some measuro influence us in opposing this convention. It matters not to us which wing of the party’should be found in you may be to the ponderous and marble jaws of the grave. Farewell.

Fairness and justice would suggest, even raise caue gy Tas Any omurne apart from this consideration, that a member . grance of sweet flowers amidst the gardens of of the court should now be taken from some . the white house. one of the mining counties.

The intelligence is given wpon the autherity of a Mr, Keyer, Superintendent of the Placerville and Carson Valley Stage Company. He reports the advance of Col. Jobnston’s command on Salt Lake City, and that Brigham Young had issued a proelamation to the Saints te evacuate the city and take up their line of march south, It is stated that a dieposition te rebel was manifested by the Saints and that they declared they would not leave until they had first laid the city in ashes. Mr. McCush another of the party whe came through, states that another order of Brigham had induced the people to leave the city carrying with them whatever was moveable, that one half had already gone before his arrival amd tbat others were moving offin great number and in great confusion.

In surrendering the charge confided to them onc year ago, by the citizens of Nevada, the Trustees deem it proper to submit a statement of the financial operations of the city government while under their control. On the first of May 1857, the city debt, exclusive of iaterest which had accumulated on outstanding serip, amounted to about four thousand two hundred dollars. The debt was contracted by the previous Board of Trustees, and was occasioned by the heavy expense incurred in rebuilding and repairing the bridges whieh were destroyed and damaged by fire and flood. For this purpose alone, the late Board expended near six thousand dollars. On entering upon our official duties we bad every reason to believe, with the revenue accruing te the city, that the then outstanding debt would be paid off, during the year, so that the expenees of the city could be placed on acash basis. This result would nearly have been accomplished had not the courts decided that the city was bound to pay legal interest en outstanding scrip, from the date of its register until paid, which increased the expenses something over five hundred dollars. The debt, however, has been materially reduced, and the revenue aceruing under the amended charter for the coming year, will be sufficient to liquidate the remainder, besides paying the current expenses of the town government. From the report ef the city Treasurer, given below, it will be seen that the total amount of registered warrants is $1,245 75. Thereisnow in the hands of the Treasurer, $164 58 ; in the hands of the Marshal, which has net been paid over, $220 55 on aecouut of preperty tax, and $117 78 collected on account of licenses, making in all, $502 78; which dedueted from the amount of registered erders will leave the sum ef $742 97. There is, however, $349 in out. standing scrip which has not been registered, whieh added to the above sum, amounts to $1,091 97, the present debt of the city. The amount in the hands of the Marsbal was mostly collected during the present week, and will be paid over to the Treasurer elect, as soon as that officer qualifies. When the property was put up fer sale to satisfy the delinquent taxes, the Beard employedan agent te bid in all the property upon which there were no other bidders. A considerable amount was bid in for the city, but the . most of it has since been redeemed, the owners . merely paying the taxes and the extra costs. . The taxes onthe property for which the city atill) holds certificates, amounts to only $45 50. We give below a table showing the reeeipts and expenditures of the city governmert during the past year, as taken from the Clerk’s books; the report of the Marshal on the cellection of the property tax, which has been care. fully compared with the sausessment roll; together with the substance of the Treasurer’s final report.

Sweets Mitt, in the same vicinity, is ia successful operation. This has eight stamps also, The ledge of the company isa large one, and has yielded riehly to the enterprising owners. The California mill owners, Messrs. Meachum: . Bush & Co., have recently struck a ledge near their mill, which from the prospect already had, is judged to be of surpassing richness. This mill works also eight stamps. Con. Riley, of Grass Valley, well known as a successful quartz miner, is about to commence operations on the Dillen ledge. This lead was struck some time ago, buton account of the difficulty of working it, little has been done tewards developing its quality. It is now in good hands and we trust te hear of its turning out as well as other leads in the same quartz region. The old National mill, ia the same towaship, has been enlarged and is running six stamps, Saw Joan Items.—A sehool exhibition which was given at San Juan, last Friday evening, passed off pleasantly, and war well attended. The net profits amounted to $91. An election for school trustees was held on Menday week, and the fellowing gentlemen were elected: W.P. L. Winham, R. H.

Auras anp Omeca.—The diggings hereabouts are now supplied with an abundance ef water, principally frem the South Yuba ditch, and the miners are realizing from their claims, better than in any fermer season. Omega has a large mining population, estimated at four hundred. The diggings it is well known are extensive and will pay remunerative wages, It is said that the present population eould not . work out the miuing ground of this locality in . the next thirty years, Fortovs Assavtt on 4 Port.—Miles Johnson, who wrote what he calls a ‘metrical equib” on Camptonville, which was published in the San Juan Star, and for which offense he was eowhided at the latter place, has written te the Siar, a full account of the affair. After alluding to his arrival in Camptonville, and being advised of the highly excited state of public feeling against him. he says: On my way down to the Washington Restaurant, I pereeived nu symptoms of a hostile epirit; but on crossing the street therefrom I was aseailed with a shower of eggs, and on looking . around bebeld an infuriated rabble rushing towards me, slinging “hen fruit’? with demoniac . energy, but with very poor precision—very poor indeed. Believing that ‘any port in a storm’ was bet. ter than none. I dove into a grocery iuvitingly near, where I expected a temporary shelter, or at least a nook wherein to stand at bay and “face the music;”’ but, alas! it proved to be the very center of the enemy’s camp—jor I had no sooner entered than the proprieter favored me with marked attention by a vigorous onslaught, zealously assisted by the rest of the ruffianly gang, and Iam grieved to say, by one of the opposite sex—the wife of the storekeeper ; who, while I was held, was provided witha stick and instructed to lay it on, which she did with praiseworthy gusto, exclaiming at intervals, “So, you'll write again about the ladies, will on?” Now. what did the silly woman mean? It is quite an enigma to me, forIam entirely unconscious of baving made any allusion whatever te the ‘‘ladies.”’ After being beaten and maltreated conside. rably, I was permitted to retreat under a furious fusilade of eggs, oaths and imprecations. I understand that a collection was taken up shortly after the glerious occurrence for the purpose of purchasing a suitable present for the valiant lady.(?) Inptan TRovsLESs.—The Oroville Butte Record says that some six weeks since, two men, Jobo Cook, better known as “Italian John,’’ and Jobn Kennedy, miners, after providing themselves with sufficient provisions to last them two or three weeks, started out from Coneow Valley near Spanishtown, to go to a point on the north fork of Feather river, above Big Bar, tbout fifteen miles from Spanishtown. Since these men left Concow, they havh never been seen by any white men, and from the reports brought inte Spanishtown by the Concow Indians, it is suposed they have been murdered by some of the emshew tribe. These suspicions having been excited, several persons have attempted to reach the camp ef the murdered men, but owing to the high stage of the north fork, these efforts have been thus far unavailing; it being situated en the south side, and the usual way of approach leading on the north side. The impression among the people of Spanishtown being that these men were murdered by the Kimshew Indians parties have been formed to search fer them and should it be ascertained that these suspicions are well grounded, a war of extermination will immediately commence against that tribe. The agent at Nome Lackee should take the pains to have these troublesome Indians and those of the Concow tribe removed to the Reservation. The Kimshews have given much trouble heretofore, and their annihilation or removal have heceme questions of much moment. To save the former, the latter alternative should be resorted to, if possible. Mininc.—The San Juan Star, of Saturday, .as the following mining items : Sow & Co. cleaned up $1,824 last week. The ‘man Co. something over $3,000.

The foreigners in Guaymas and vicinity deny the power of the Government to collect taxes for the object of fighting each other, but the anthorities endeavor to get over this objection, by saying that it is not raised to carry on the revolution, bat every one knows te the contrary. Thecorrespondent above referred to, says that the foreigners there are resolved not to pay this tax, and the French Consul has so signified to the French residents, France having a treaty with Mexico which covers this ground. — Union. Parpoxep.—Gevernor Weller bas pardoned Mannel Baldariso, convicted of robbery in Sierra county, in October, 1855, and sentenced ta the State Prison for five years. He was but fifteen years old when sent to the prison, and was a “trusty” outside of the walls two years. His conduct has been such as te induce the belief that he has entirely reformed.

Dustin’s old docket, now in Justice Farquhar’s office, in North San Juan.

T) which we are governed. When we reflect that . oftimes the, Democratic State Convention, A controversy seems to prevail in the ranks of the demecracy with reference to the prepriety or expediency of assembling a convention te nominate the two State officers for election in the approaching fall. Were it not for the difference which has arisen out of the Kansas embroglio we apprehend that few would be found to insist upon a convention. There would be little danger of the election of any bat democrats, and the most deserving and best qualified fur the positions would in all probability receive the popular suffrage. The plan suggested by the Placer Herald of asking the eounty conventions to assemble at an early day and designate their choice, would assist doubtTess in concentrating the popular democratic vote. It is safe to assume that by such means the expense and trouble of calling together the representatives of the party from the length and bredth of the State might be avoided. A few indiscreet Hotspurs who are ever ready to peril all and to ‘‘cavil wpon the ninth part of a hair,” are found hewever, who putting at naught all considerations of prudence can see no motive for those who oppose the convention, terests which find their way to the calender of In life but a fear of the estricism which awaits the Fears th ta.

It may be said that alihough we have had repeated decisions of cases with regard to these rights still but little progress has been made towards establishing 9 safe rule of action, and to farnish «reliable precedent for the future. These considerations it seems to us should have influenced the selection ef at least one member of the court, from its first organization down from amongst the lawyers practising in the mining counties, The experience in this new department of the law which is gained by a duily intercourse with the people engaged in this business, would surely better qualify the jurist to pasa upon the questions invelved in mining cases. We place our advocacy therefore of a member of the court from the mining region upon the ground that it is demanded by the best interests of its great productive populaHe ese) dreaded, « tality, wit the strengt unsubdued. green old ags tions of the bv State papers, the have pursued the ¢ posing southern in’ question, and nerthern sas question, but yet noise: in your purposes to do right, S ed as eviddnce of a hardy and robue. then do I believe thee neither faded in inw™ gentlemen would take time to reflect they might possibly doubt somewhat when the shells were gathered together, which would pass into banishment. Let the voice of the democracy alone be heard and we have no fears for the result. To preserve the party in its integrity as it is, without affiliations with Black Republicanism or any other ism should be the highest aim at this time of every true democrat. We stood in solid column against the assault of a sectional party of portentious strength in the last Presidential election, and in its defeat exulted in what we honestly believed te be the triumph of conservative principles over the spirit of fanaticism. What democrat has failed in his faith since then, or can bese blind as not to diseera in the disruption of his party, the final success of the Black Republicans and their natural alies the abolitionists. We do not hesitate to declare therefore that a fear of creating @ ecism in the party; of precipitating an issue that may lead to disastrous results for the country, may in some measuro influence us in opposing this convention. It matters not to us which wing of the party’should be found in you may be to the ponderous and marble jaws of the grave. Farewell.

Fairness and justice would suggest, even raise caue gy Tas Any omurne apart from this consideration, that a member . grance of sweet flowers amidst the gardens of of the court should now be taken from some . the white house. one of the mining counties.

In surrendering the charge confided to them onc year ago, by the citizens of Nevada, the Trustees deem it proper to submit a statement of the financial operations of the city government while under their control. On the first of May 1857, the city debt, exclusive of iaterest which had accumulated on outstanding serip, amounted to about four thousand two hundred dollars. The debt was contracted by the previous Board of Trustees, and was occasioned by the heavy expense incurred in rebuilding and repairing the bridges whieh were destroyed and damaged by fire and flood. For this purpose alone, the late Board expended near six thousand dollars. On entering upon our official duties we bad every reason to believe, with the revenue accruing te the city, that the then outstanding debt would be paid off, during the year, so that the expenees of the city could be placed on acash basis. This result would nearly have been accomplished had not the courts decided that the city was bound to pay legal interest en outstanding scrip, from the date of its register until paid, which increased the expenses something over five hundred dollars. The debt, however, has been materially reduced, and the revenue aceruing under the amended charter for the coming year, will be sufficient to liquidate the remainder, besides paying the current expenses of the town government. From the report ef the city Treasurer, given below, it will be seen that the total amount of registered warrants is $1,245 75. Thereisnow in the hands of the Treasurer, $164 58 ; in the hands of the Marshal, which has net been paid over, $220 55 on aecouut of preperty tax, and $117 78 collected on account of licenses, making in all, $502 78; which dedueted from the amount of registered erders will leave the sum ef $742 97. There is, however, $349 in out. standing scrip which has not been registered, whieh added to the above sum, amounts to $1,091 97, the present debt of the city. The amount in the hands of the Marsbal was mostly collected during the present week, and will be paid over to the Treasurer elect, as soon as that officer qualifies. When the property was put up fer sale to satisfy the delinquent taxes, the Beard employedan agent te bid in all the property upon which there were no other bidders. A considerable amount was bid in for the city, but the . most of it has since been redeemed, the owners . merely paying the taxes and the extra costs. . The taxes onthe property for which the city atill) holds certificates, amounts to only $45 50. We give below a table showing the reeeipts and expenditures of the city governmert during the past year, as taken from the Clerk’s books; the report of the Marshal on the cellection of the property tax, which has been care. fully compared with the sausessment roll; together with the substance of the Treasurer’s final report.

This mill works also eight stamps. Con. Riley, of Grass Valley, well known as a successful quartz miner, is about to commence operations on the Dillen ledge. This lead was struck some time ago, buton account of the difficulty of working it, little has been done tewards developing its quality.

After alluding to his arrival in Camptonville, and being advised of the highly excited state of public feeling against him. he says: On my way down to the Washington Restaurant, I pereeived nu symptoms of a hostile epirit; but on crossing the street therefrom I was aseailed with a shower of eggs, and on looking . around bebeld an infuriated rabble rushing towards me, slinging “hen fruit’? with demoniac . energy, but with very poor precision—very poor indeed. Believing that ‘any port in a storm’ was bet. ter than none. I dove into a grocery iuvitingly near, where I expected a temporary shelter, or at least a nook wherein to stand at bay and “face the music;”’ but, alas! it proved to be the very center of the enemy’s camp—jor I had no sooner entered than the proprieter favored me with marked attention by a vigorous onslaught, zealously assisted by the rest of the ruffianly gang, and Iam grieved to say, by one of the opposite sex—the wife of the storekeeper ; who, while I was held, was provided witha stick and instructed to lay it on, which she did with praiseworthy gusto, exclaiming at intervals, “So, you'll write again about the ladies, will on?” Now. what did the silly woman mean? It is quite an enigma to me, forIam entirely unconscious of baving made any allusion whatever te the ‘‘ladies.”’ After being beaten and maltreated conside. rably, I was permitted to retreat under a furious fusilade of eggs, oaths and imprecations. I understand that a collection was taken up shortly after the glerious occurrence for the purpose of purchasing a suitable present for the valiant lady.(?) Inptan TRovsLESs.—The Oroville Butte Record says that some six weeks since, two men, Jobo Cook, better known as “Italian John,’’ and Jobn Kennedy, miners, after providing themselves with sufficient provisions to last them two or three weeks, started out from Coneow Valley near Spanishtown, to go to a point on the north fork of Feather river, above Big Bar, tbout fifteen miles from Spanishtown. Since these men left Concow, they havh never been seen by any white men, and from the reports brought inte Spanishtown by the Concow Indians, it is suposed they have been murdered by some of the emshew tribe. These suspicions having been excited, several persons have attempted to reach the camp ef the murdered men, but owing to the high stage of the north fork, these efforts have been thus far unavailing; it being situated en the south side, and the usual way of approach leading on the north side. The impression among the people of Spanishtown being that these men were murdered by the Kimshew Indians parties have been formed to search fer them and should it be ascertained that these suspicions are well grounded, a war of extermination will immediately commence against that tribe. The agent at Nome Lackee should take the pains to have these troublesome Indians and those of the Concow tribe removed to the Reservation. The Kimshews have given much trouble heretofore, and their annihilation or removal have heceme questions of much moment. To save the former, the latter alternative should be resorted to, if possible.

The foreigners in Guaymas and vicinity deny the power of the Government to collect taxes for the object of fighting each other, but the anthorities endeavor to get over this objection, by saying that it is not raised to carry on the revolution, bat every one knows te the contrary. Thecorrespondent above referred to, says that the foreigners there are resolved not to pay this tax, and the French Consul has so signified to the French residents, France having a treaty with Mexico which covers this ground. — Union.

James Weaver, since ™Y confine. ment in jail, has had a great deal to say about me, boast. ing of bis having made me weaken, run, &. &c,, after [ had in the first place, drew my knife. Now. all this jg a matter I care but little about, and as for the truth of that circumstance, I will refer those interested, to Jerry Po}. lard, Esq., L. B. Adsitt, Esq., and forty others at French ' Corral ; but there is a little matter connected with that affray, that is ofsome importance to me, and also to my wife, (more generally known as Aunt Rhoda.) -rhich is this: I obtained a judgment against the brave James Weaver, on that occasion, for four hundred dollars, or thereabouts, and Aunt Rhoda obtained a judgment Against him for a small wash-bill, of sixty-two dollars, which sti] . appears on Dect. Dustin’s old docket, now in Justice Farquhar’s office, in North San Juan. My account against him, was for boarding him, and his work hands, after he had been rufused credit by his old stand-by friends, and during the two years that I was afflicted with the billioug cholic, and expected to die every week, for two years: ang . had no other means of support but the prospect of receiying remuneration from him, and her, my wife’s labor over the wash-tub, All these things are indellibly impressed on the minds of many of the old citizens of the ridge, about Sweetland’s, San Juan, and doubtless some in Neva Ja, I will only add, that his statements in regard to my drawing a knife on him, in the first place, is maliciously false, and, neod but reference to the above named gentle. men to prove it ; and that the smail amount of the judg. ment for washing and beard, of upwards of five hundred dollars, would come in good play now, asmy wife wil, probably have to resort to the wash-tub again, for support, 32-1t G.
