LOCAL MATTERS, SmaLut Pox.—There are at present, we understand, two cases of small pox in towA—the two children of Mrs, Coutad, who lives in the house next above the Pennsylvania Fire Co’s huilding, being afflicted with the disease. For two or three weeks there have been reports that the little girl, aged about five years, has been sick with the small pox, but as no physician had been called to attend her, many supposed that she merely had the measles, now prevalent in town. But on Tuesday afternoon, the girl was seen sitting by the front window, her face shiwing that she was just recovering from the small pox. Paul Coutad, a brother of the girl, and sotne two or three years older, has not been seen on the street for a week or more, and we are informed that he is now suffering with the loathsome disease. The girl undoubtedly took the disease from the colored girl that had it at the Brooklyn House, on the opposite side of the strect. We mention the fact that people may be on their guard. Crry HaLt.—We learn that our newly elected Trustees have determined to erect a City Hall, to be used as a Marshal’s office, for meetings of the Board, etc. The structure is to be erected on the calaboose lot, on Broad street, and the plan is to have it fourteen feet square and sixteen feet high. All towns of importance have a City Hall, and the Trustees very properly concluded that Nevada should have one also; besides, the city owns a small piece of ground, and the Trustees think it best to put a building on it for fear the next Board might give it away. The structure will cost one ro two hundred dollars, and the city will save nearly that amount in rent the first year, The excavations are now being made by the chain-gang, under the direction of the Marshal, and costs nothing. City BurtaL Grounp.—The erdinance passed by the Trustees yesterday eaening, designed to prevent the Chinese burying any more of their dead in the city cemetery, and prohibiting that people from entering the enclosure, was demanded by public opinion. A number of Chinese have been buried there, and the whites are frequently shocked at seeing gangs of Celestials parading over the ground, tramping down the graves, and performing their heathen rites. The Chinese should be instructed in regard to the provisions of the ordinance, in order that they may select a burying ground of their own. SuRPRISE PaRTy.—About nine o'clock yesterday evening, a party of ladies and gentlemen, many of them from Grass Valley, tock possession of Dr. R. M. Hunt’s residence, on Aristocracy Hill, and made themseles ‘‘at home” forthe evening. Mrs. H. was taken completely by surprise at the arrival of her intrusive guests, but soon recovered her equanimity, and the evening passed off agreeably. Arrest.—A Frenchman, whose name we did not learn, was arrested yesterday evening, on upper Commercial street, for attempting to rob a Celestial damsel of her jewelry, and raising a muss generally in Chinadom. He was committed to jail last night and will be examined to-day. Pic-Nic.—The Baptist Sunday School children are holding a pic-nic to-day, at Sutton’s ranch, on the Grass Valley toll road. The children turned out about nine o’clock this morning, formed in procession, and were escorted to the pic-nic grounds by the Nevada Cadets. Cass or Burke.—Tho counsel for Burke having applied to the Supreme Court for a rehearing, a supersedeas has been issued ordering a stay of proceedings until the case is examined. ‘The Sheriff received the order yesterday evening. For San Quentin.—The Sheriff started this morning for San Quentin, having in charge Jonathan Peel, who was convicted of manslaughter some weeks ago and sentenced to seven years’ imprisonment. Tue Bat, for the benefit of the Nevada Cadets, takes place this evening at Temperance ail. OL TRS FENN AE SA IESE Merats Ravings.—Ilere is a paragraph — the Memphis Avalanche of the 2d ult; The drivelling but devillish spirit of New England abolitionism, excites mingled feelings of pity, contempt and scorn. The war which Lincoln is now waging upon the South is one of the most unrighteous, atrocious, and unjustifiable recorded in history. The guilt of its unnumbered and heaven daring crimes rests heaVily upon the head of the besotted tyrant by whom it is prosecuted for the gratification of hisown unhallowed ambition and wicked revenge. Theruler of the Universe certainly never designed that a mongrel race, composed of the debris of all the nations of Europe, Swept upon its shores by the waves of the At‘antic; infidel and God-defying; presumptuous and Bible-ignoring; rife with every error and Pernicious ism; cowardly, cruel and treacherous; should exercise despotic authority over a Accipent at MOCL&nLan’s Heapquartsns, —A correspondent of the New York Tribane relates, ina letter dated April 13th, the following incident: We learn from Gen, Wool that there was an incident of a most thrilling mature at_ McClellan’s headquarters yesterday. Gen. Fitz John Porter ascended in the balloon for the purpose of making a reconnoissance. When high up the rope broke and and floated the balloon over the enemy’s intrenchments. The officer was considered to be inevitably lost. The hearts . that were rung with the hardness and strangeness of his fate, were suddenly cheered as well . as amazed with the spettacle of the retuan of . the balloon over our own camps. It had as. cended to a counter current of air, and was wafted, with its precious freight back to safety. Once again over his own troops the soldier wronaut pulled the valve and discharged the . gas from the valloon, and came down to earth by the run, entirely unharmed. What he saw is for military use, and not for publication. KILLep.—A Mexican named Roman Salido, aged about 40 ae a native of Alama, Sonora, was instant fares on the 13th inst., by the caving in of a bank of earth on his mining claim at Yankee Hill, about two miles from Columbia. Special Notices. To Friends of Nevada County: There being an impression among the ‘‘people’’ that during the floods at Sacramento recently, I had been ‘‘drowned,’’ or closed my Forwarding department of trade, causes me totell you that my Forwarding House has not been closed three days during the floods, and was receiving and forwarding goods every day, although the water in the store was three feet deep. Iam yet engaged in the business, and will be so long as my friends in Nevada county entrust their goods to my care, I can send goods from Sacramento city on teams, or on the cars to Linculn, (I have an agency at Lincoln) Have goods marked care of Wurre, Sacramento City, and if you desire them on the cars by Lincoln, have the goods marked “‘care of Warr, Lincoln,’’ and they will be properly attended to at either point. Sacramento, however, would be the best forwarding point. 0. H. P. Warre, San Francisco, April 5th, 1862, Messrs. Repincton & Co: I take pleasure in informing you that I have been using your excellent Yeast Powders for some time, and unhesitatingly pronounce them unequaled by any similar preparation that I have ever used. Every housekeeper may rely upon it that when used, according to directions, they never fail to produce that most desirable of allarticles of Good, Sweet, and Nutricious Bread, Having once proved how supenor they are to all others, T could on no account be without them.

To Correspondents,—Patients residing in any part of the State, however distant, who may desire the opinion and advice of Dr. Young, on their respective cases, and who think proper to submit a written statement of such, in preference to holding a personal interview, are respectfully assured that their communications will be held most sacred. Dr. Young takes this opportunity of observing that all letters are only opened and replied to by himself, and the latter as promptly as possible. If the case be fully and candidly described, personal communications will be superceded, as instructions for diet, regimen, and the general treatment of the case itself, (including the remedies,) will be forwarded without delay, and in such a manner as to convey no idea of the purport of the letter or parcel so transmitted, @g@ Office, 751 Clay street, San Francisco.
