Pursuant to a call of the Chairman, the Anti-Lecompton Democratic Central Committee of Nevada County aasembled in the City of Nevada, on the 7th inst., and the following Resolutions were unanimously adopted : Resolved, That a County Convention of the Anti-Lecompton Democracy shall assemble at the Court House, in the City of Nevada, on Wednesday, the Ist day of June next, at 10 o'clock A. M., for the election of fourteen Delegates to the State Convention to be held at tho City of Sacramento on the 15th proximo ; and also, for the nomination of the various County Officers to be 'The Rumored Compromise. In another column will be found a paragraph giving the basis of a reported compromise between the Lecompton and anti-Lecompton wings of the Democratic party. We place but little reliance in the report, on account of the suspicious source from which it emanates. The New York Herald is noted for getting up sensation paragrapbs, and this is probably one of them. So faras principles are involved, the anti-Lecompton Democrats have no compromises to make. They stand now where they stood in 1856, upon the Cincinnati Platform, and their interpretation of that Platform can be found in the epeeches ef Douglas, Pugh and others, delivered in the U. S. Senate on the 23d of February last. They hold now, as they did in 1856, that the Territories are common property; that slave holders and non-slave holders have an equal right to settle in them; that it is right and proper tor the people to regulate 1 election. <feepolse: That the election of Delegates to. the County . their own peg me tions, and that in any Convention shall be held at the several Precincts throughevent Congress wha not interfere with.the.subject of slavery io The States or 4 out the county, on Saturday the 28th of May. Resolved, That as a qualification for voters at the PriThis is ‘the only pringiple upon’ whieh very question can be settled. If Con. the constitutional right to o the Territories, it does not follow i should be exercised; and it was the ck derstanding, when the Nebraska bill was ed, that whatever right Congress had to le late on the subject should be conceded to’ the mary elections, we adopt the test recommended by the State Contral Committee, to wit: An adherence to the —of Popular Sovereignty—absolute non-intervention by Congress, and opposition to the administration in its extravagant expenditures of the public monies. , That the representation of the various Townships in the County Convention, shall consist of One Delegate for each Precinct, and one for every fifty votes, and fraction of one-half thereof, cast for the leading State nominee at the last General Election—taking the votes cast for John Currey as the basis of the apportionment.

Itis for this purpose that Senators Membors of Central Com. for Nevada Township. . yo navis Brown, Mason, and others are endeavoring to commit the party to the support of the doctrine of intervention for the purpose of protecting slave property in the Territories. With such a plank engrafted upon the Democratic platform, they know very well that the Republican candidate for President in 1860 will be elected by an overwhelming majority, and they could have had no other object in view when they advocated that measure, It is possible the President has at length got s eyes open, and may now be endeavoring to heal the divisions in the party which he bas done e0 much to disorganize aud corrupt. We have, however, but little faith in the efficacy of any compromise which might be patched up between the “chiefs’’ of the two factions; the dissensions have extended among the masses of the party, and by them it must eventually be settled.

Primary Exection.—The Democratic primary election, for delegates to the County Convention, will be held in this county next Saturday, and we trust that the Democratic voters of the county will generally turn out and see that the proper men are sent to represent them. The approaching election is an important one, much interest is beginning to be taken in the result, and it is desirable that the sentiments of the Democracy should be fairly reflected by bi the County Convention. The manner of electing the delegates, and the time and place for holding the primary meetings, will generally be left to the Democratic voters of the respective precincts, as has heretofore been done. In the large precincts, it is understood that the members of the Central Committee for their respective townships, will give notice of the time for holding the meetings, and make other necessary arrangements tu insure a fair expression of opinion. ——San Franeoisco DatLy News.—We are indebted to Mr. Welch for several numbers of the above entitled journal, recently established at Aoquirtat, or Stckies.—By tae overland.

The Democratic party of Oregon have got {nto a snarl on aceourt of the action of their late Convention to nominate a candidate for Congress. It seems thata large majority of the party were in favor of the re-election of Mr. Grover, but that gentleman had become obnoxious to Senator Lane, and the wires were set to defeat his nomination in Convention, which was accomplished by means of a side caucus. A majority of the delegates were friends of Grover, and every body supposed he would be nominated on the first ballot; but the friends of the other candidates beld a secret caucus, and by some means they induced a number of Grover’s friends to attend it, under a promise to vote in Convention for whoever received the caucus nomination. The caucus was held expressly to defeat Grover, and quite a number of that gentleman’s friends had no better sense than to attend it, and were thus made instrumentsin defeating the wishes of the people. The result was that Lansing Stout eived the caucus nomination and was subseatly nominated in Convention—Mr. Groends who attended the caucus being vote against their first choice. resorted to for the purpose of prover has created great indignation friends, and many bave come out and declared their intention to vote for Mr. Logan, the Republican candidate. The nomination of Mr. Stout was perhaps as unpopular a one as could have been made. In 1855 he was elected as a Know Nothing to the Assembly of this State, from Placer county, and in that body was not regarded as a man of any talent. On the decline of Know Nothiogism in California, he emigrated to Oregon, and the Democracy being largely in the majority there, he of couse became an active Democrat, It is not surprising that the people of Oregon should squirm a little, when a broken-down California politician is presented for their suffrages, by the wire-workers and managers of a Convention. The Democratic party is so largely in the ascendant in Oregon that the tricksters imagined they could perpetrate any outrage with impunity. In this instance, Gen. Lane and bis minions may find themselves mistaken. We trust, however, that Mr. Stout will be elected; for in case he is, a large number of politicians who have been laid on the shelf in California would be encouraged to emigrate to Oregon. It is as natural for politicians to gravitate to the localities where their talents are appreciated as it is for water to run down bill. Arrairs At Sart Laxe.—By the arrival of the central overland mail we have news from Salt Lake city to May 10th. The Mormons are said to be preparing for war. Bodies of armed men are constantly drilling at Salt Lake, and companies have been dispatched in different directions through the country. Gov. Cumming had issued a proclamation for them to disperse, and it was thought the U.S. troops would have work to perform, Dr. Forney, the Indian Agent, had arrived at Fillmore city, with the sixteen orphan children, survivors of the Mountain Meadows massacre. Some of the children have a distinct recollection of the terrible slaughter, Major Prince, in charge of the specie train from California, had arrived at Fillmore city. LL Se Escare or State Prison Conviers.—At four o’clock last Sunday morning, a successful attempt was made by fourteen State Prison convicts, at San Quentin, to escape. They broke through three walls in the new cells, and by means of some planking got over the outer wall, Twenty men started in pursuit, and Mr. McCauley has offered a reward of one hundred dollars for the capture of each convict. A dispatch to the Sacramento Union gives the names of those who escaped : Joseph A. Sterrett, Thos, Lynch, Thos. Lawrence, Wm. Scott, alias Pacing Bill, Lewis Bonner, Henry Thompson, alias Blue Eye, James Dolan, Jobu F. Livingston, alias Wm. Freeman, James Garvin, James Curry, alias Joy, Alexander Orlinski, Thos. Gallagher, Calvin Douglas, alias Scotty, S. D. Thompson. Kansas.—The election in Kaneas to decide on the question of calling a Constitutional Convention called out a very light vote, in consequence of there being no active opposition the measure. The majority in favor of the Convention is about 2,500; only two towns in the Territory—Lecompton and Kiekapoo—gave a majority in the negative. According to the act of the Territorial Legislature, the “election for delegates will be held in June, and the Convention meets about the first of August, to frame a Constitution, which is required to be submitted to a vote of the people, for ratification or rejection, in October. If adopted by the popular vote, the Constitution will be ready for submission to Congress at the opening of the next session. Vinotn1a Poritics.—The election for State officers and members of Congress in Virginia takes place on the 26th inst. (to morrow.) An animated contest has been carried on for some months between Mr. Letcher, the Democratic nominee, and his opponent, Mr. Goggin. At last accounts from the east, Mr. Letcher was lying dangerously ill at Norfolk, but should he live until the day of election, there is no doubt that he will be elected by a large majority. In the last Congress the entire delegation from Virginia were Democrats ; but this year the party is divided in a number of Congresional districts, and it is probable that one or two opposition members will be elected. Sxow Siips.—The La Porte Messenger, learns that an immense snow-slide occurred on the 10th of May at McLain’s diggings, on the South Fork of Feather river, in Plumas county. The dam of Mr. McLain was broken, anda large portion of bis flume destroyed. The latter was covered with an immense amount of snow, fifty feet in depth. This unfortunate occurrence will cause much loss of time, aside from the destruction of property, as the snow will not in all probability disappear before the month of August, to admit of the dam and flume being repaired. A Laras Srocx or Coat.—The Pacific Mail Steamship Company have now on their wharf, at Benicia, about ten thousand tons of coal, most of which is anthracite, It is said they have enough now, here and at Panama, to supply their vessels for the next two years.

Iu Illinois, in Indiana, in Wisconsin, in Michigan, in Obio, in New York, and New Jersey, and in each of the New England States, conversing freely with democrats, in the cars, by their firesides, in their warehouses and workshops—in all places where men utter their benedictions and maledictions, without reserve, I have heard but one voice touching “the bour and the man;’’ a voice which proclaims Stephen A. Douglas the champion of the people and the people’s sovereiguty; the hope, and the sole hope, of the democratic party of the Union.

ANDREW CAMPBELL, I acknowledge service of a oon of the above notice of an intended application to the Governor of the State of the Pardon of John Gardiner, convicted in the Court of Sessions held by me and associates, at the time therein the great struggle of which tbe battle ground . heavy machinery of a late improvement, (see . stated,—this 19th day of May 1859. was Illinois, while the issue, mauvifold and in expressibly important, were the concern of all true patriets in every State of the Union, But recently another feeling has blended with the opular enthusiasm—a conviction, which daily increases, that only be can safely bear the democratic standard in the next Dresidential campaign, Tbe power which sought to crush the foremost man in the ranks of the democracy sigually failed of success; but more ignobly still, risking everything in this imfamous crusade, it has distracted and we!l nigh destroyed the democratic party. It is in this great emergency that the people, hopeless of aid from an administration which cannot so much as save itself, would fain save a party on which rests the hope of the Union. What other man is equal to the work of gathering again the scattered hosts of the national democratic party? This is the question on the lips of nine democrats in ten in all the States I have named. I hear but one man mentioned as sufficient for this great emergency. Aut Caesar aut nullus— Douglas or a black republican for the next President of the United States. Politicians may scheme as they will, but the alternative is inevitable. I know that the would-be Warwicks, larger and less, are not without potency to make or mar a plot; but let them take heed to their ways. Not many months hence they will witness a storm of enthusiasm for the man of the people, especially among the democrats of the western and eastern States, which will . drive them and their schemes as chaff before the wind, Reumorep Pouttrean NeGotrations. — The Washington correspondent of the New York Herald says : Negotiations bave been going on here between the chiefe of the regular Democracy and those of the Douglas wing, including Mr. D. himself, broadly foreshadowing tbe following Presidential programme. First, the union of the two factions upon a compromise on the question of slavery in the territories, which will leave the exclusive supervision of the subject to the Supreme Court. The right of the people of the South to settle in the territories with their slave property, remaining as affirmed by the Dred Scott decision. Second, two National Conventions in 1860; the work of the Charleston Convention to be limited to the reunion of the party upon a new platform. The second Convention in this event will probably be fixed for September, and io the city of New York. By that time the chiefs of the party will have discovered their most available candidates, and where the weak pointe of the enemies lie. Pouttics In Nara Covyty.—The Napa city Reporter, an independent paper, of Saturday last, says : At present, political affairs in Napa are kept very quiet, but the calm which exists is delusive, aud to old stagers appears evidently to be the precursor of a storm. The different parties are looking around for available men for nomnation, and would-be candidates are canvassing their chanced of success. The ultra Democratic Administration men are very silent about Mr. Buchanan and his policy, while the Popular Sovereignty Democracy of the Douglas stamp are exultant in the prospect of a victory in the county and State at the next election. Great changes have certainly occurred in public sentiment since last September in favor of Popular Sovereignty as enunciated in the Cin cinnati Platform, but whether sufficient to neu. °c Sunday Morning at 11 0’clock A.M.

Grass Valley. pled, if not beaten. An Extensive Enterpriss.—Mr. L. C. MeKeeby, of Sebastapol, contemplates a novel and extensive enterprise. He intends to puta flume eighteen feet wide and six hundred feet long, into the channel of the Middle Yuba just below Hatfield’s Crossing, through which to sluice the i dirt now lying in the bed of the river, and all the tailings that flow from surrounding bills and down the stream, using the stream itself, in full volume, for that purpose. This will be in fact, an ‘mmense tail sluice. It is thought all the quicksilver needed can be collected from the tailings, as a great deal is known to escape from every claim. At the lower end of the flume a strong dam will be constructed, leaving an aperture which, as the rainy season comes on, will be closed, thus allowing the tailings to bank up and cover the flume entirely, ensuring its protection until the next low water period, when the dam will be tapped and the tailings washed, The enterprise will be an expensive one, but the projector thinks it will succeed and prove highly remunerative. Should it do so, we may look to see the whole course of this and other streams completely cleaned out.— Hydraulic Press.

Pursuant to a call of the Chairman, the Anti-Lecompton Democratic Central Committee of Nevada County aasembled in the City of Nevada, on the 7th inst., and the following Resolutions were unanimously adopted : Resolved, That a County Convention of the Anti-Lecompton Democracy shall assemble at the Court House, in the City of Nevada, on Wednesday, the Ist day of June next, at 10 o'clock A. M., for the election of fourteen Delegates to the State Convention to be held at tho City of Sacramento on the 15th proximo ; and also, for the nomination of the various County Officers to be 'The Rumored Compromise. In another column will be found a paragraph giving the basis of a reported compromise between the Lecompton and anti-Lecompton wings of the Democratic party. We place but little reliance in the report, on account of the suspicious source from which it emanates. The New York Herald is noted for getting up sensation paragrapbs, and this is probably one of them. So faras principles are involved, the anti-Lecompton Democrats have no compromises to make. They stand now where they stood in 1856, upon the Cincinnati Platform, and their interpretation of that Platform can be found in the epeeches ef Douglas, Pugh and others, delivered in the U. S. Senate on the 23d of February last. They hold now, as they did in 1856, that the Territories are common property; that slave holders and non-slave holders have an equal right to settle in them; that it is right and proper tor the people to regulate 1 election. <feepolse: That the election of Delegates to. the County . their own peg me tions, and that in any Convention shall be held at the several Precincts throughevent Congress wha not interfere with.the.subject of slavery io The States or 4 out the county, on Saturday the 28th of May. Resolved, That as a qualification for voters at the PriThis is ‘the only pringiple upon’ whieh very question can be settled. If Con. the constitutional right to o the Territories, it does not follow i should be exercised; and it was the ck derstanding, when the Nebraska bill was ed, that whatever right Congress had to le late on the subject should be conceded to’ the mary elections, we adopt the test recommended by the State Contral Committee, to wit: An adherence to the —of Popular Sovereignty—absolute non-intervention by Congress, and opposition to the administration in its extravagant expenditures of the public monies. , That the representation of the various Townships in the County Convention, shall consist of One Delegate for each Precinct, and one for every fifty votes, and fraction of one-half thereof, cast for the leading State nominee at the last General Election—taking the votes cast for John Currey as the basis of the apportionment.

Itis for this purpose that Senators Membors of Central Com. for Nevada Township. . yo navis Brown, Mason, and others are endeavoring to commit the party to the support of the doctrine of intervention for the purpose of protecting slave property in the Territories. With such a plank engrafted upon the Democratic platform, they know very well that the Republican candidate for President in 1860 will be elected by an overwhelming majority, and they could have had no other object in view when they advocated that measure, It is possible the President has at length got s eyes open, and may now be endeavoring to heal the divisions in the party which he bas done e0 much to disorganize aud corrupt. We have, however, but little faith in the efficacy of any compromise which might be patched up between the “chiefs’’ of the two factions; the dissensions have extended among the masses of the party, and by them it must eventually be settled.

Primary Exection.—The Democratic primary election, for delegates to the County Convention, will be held in this county next Saturday, and we trust that the Democratic voters of the county will generally turn out and see that the proper men are sent to represent them. The approaching election is an important one, much interest is beginning to be taken in the result, and it is desirable that the sentiments of the Democracy should be fairly reflected by bi the County Convention. The manner of electing the delegates, and the time and place for holding the primary meetings, will generally be left to the Democratic voters of the respective precincts, as has heretofore been done. In the large precincts, it is understood that the members of the Central Committee for their respective townships, will give notice of the time for holding the meetings, and make other necessary arrangements tu insure a fair expression of opinion. ——San Franeoisco DatLy News.—We are indebted to Mr. Welch for several numbers of the above entitled journal, recently established at Aoquirtat, or Stckies.—By tae overland.

The Democratic party of Oregon have got {nto a snarl on aceourt of the action of their late Convention to nominate a candidate for Congress. It seems thata large majority of the party were in favor of the re-election of Mr. Grover, but that gentleman had become obnoxious to Senator Lane, and the wires were set to defeat his nomination in Convention, which was accomplished by means of a side caucus. A majority of the delegates were friends of Grover, and every body supposed he would be nominated on the first ballot; but the friends of the other candidates beld a secret caucus, and by some means they induced a number of Grover’s friends to attend it, under a promise to vote in Convention for whoever received the caucus nomination. The caucus was held expressly to defeat Grover, and quite a number of that gentleman’s friends had no better sense than to attend it, and were thus made instrumentsin defeating the wishes of the people. The result was that Lansing Stout eived the caucus nomination and was subseatly nominated in Convention—Mr. Groends who attended the caucus being vote against their first choice. resorted to for the purpose of prover has created great indignation friends, and many bave come out and declared their intention to vote for Mr. Logan, the Republican candidate. The nomination of Mr. Stout was perhaps as unpopular a one as could have been made. In 1855 he was elected as a Know Nothing to the Assembly of this State, from Placer county, and in that body was not regarded as a man of any talent. On the decline of Know Nothiogism in California, he emigrated to Oregon, and the Democracy being largely in the majority there, he of couse became an active Democrat, It is not surprising that the people of Oregon should squirm a little, when a broken-down California politician is presented for their suffrages, by the wire-workers and managers of a Convention. The Democratic party is so largely in the ascendant in Oregon that the tricksters imagined they could perpetrate any outrage with impunity. In this instance, Gen. Lane and bis minions may find themselves mistaken. We trust, however, that Mr. Stout will be elected; for in case he is, a large number of politicians who have been laid on the shelf in California would be encouraged to emigrate to Oregon. It is as natural for politicians to gravitate to the localities where their talents are appreciated as it is for water to run down bill. Arrairs At Sart Laxe.—By the arrival of the central overland mail we have news from Salt Lake city to May 10th. The Mormons are said to be preparing for war. Bodies of armed men are constantly drilling at Salt Lake, and companies have been dispatched in different directions through the country. Gov. Cumming had issued a proclamation for them to disperse, and it was thought the U.S. troops would have work to perform, Dr. Forney, the Indian Agent, had arrived at Fillmore city, with the sixteen orphan children, survivors of the Mountain Meadows massacre. Some of the children have a distinct recollection of the terrible slaughter, Major Prince, in charge of the specie train from California, had arrived at Fillmore city. LL Se Escare or State Prison Conviers.—At four o’clock last Sunday morning, a successful attempt was made by fourteen State Prison convicts, at San Quentin, to escape. They broke through three walls in the new cells, and by means of some planking got over the outer wall, Twenty men started in pursuit, and Mr. McCauley has offered a reward of one hundred dollars for the capture of each convict. A dispatch to the Sacramento Union gives the names of those who escaped : Joseph A. Sterrett, Thos, Lynch, Thos. Lawrence, Wm. Scott, alias Pacing Bill, Lewis Bonner, Henry Thompson, alias Blue Eye, James Dolan, Jobu F. Livingston, alias Wm. Freeman, James Garvin, James Curry, alias Joy, Alexander Orlinski, Thos. Gallagher, Calvin Douglas, alias Scotty, S. D. Thompson. Kansas.—The election in Kaneas to decide on the question of calling a Constitutional Convention called out a very light vote, in consequence of there being no active opposition the measure. The majority in favor of the Convention is about 2,500; only two towns in the Territory—Lecompton and Kiekapoo—gave a majority in the negative. According to the act of the Territorial Legislature, the “election for delegates will be held in June, and the Convention meets about the first of August, to frame a Constitution, which is required to be submitted to a vote of the people, for ratification or rejection, in October. If adopted by the popular vote, the Constitution will be ready for submission to Congress at the opening of the next session. Vinotn1a Poritics.—The election for State officers and members of Congress in Virginia takes place on the 26th inst. (to morrow.) An animated contest has been carried on for some months between Mr. Letcher, the Democratic nominee, and his opponent, Mr. Goggin. At last accounts from the east, Mr. Letcher was lying dangerously ill at Norfolk, but should he live until the day of election, there is no doubt that he will be elected by a large majority. In the last Congress the entire delegation from Virginia were Democrats ; but this year the party is divided in a number of Congresional districts, and it is probable that one or two opposition members will be elected. Sxow Siips.—The La Porte Messenger, learns that an immense snow-slide occurred on the 10th of May at McLain’s diggings, on the South Fork of Feather river, in Plumas county. The dam of Mr. McLain was broken, anda large portion of bis flume destroyed. The latter was covered with an immense amount of snow, fifty feet in depth. This unfortunate occurrence will cause much loss of time, aside from the destruction of property, as the snow will not in all probability disappear before the month of August, to admit of the dam and flume being repaired.

Iu Illinois, in Indiana, in Wisconsin, in Michigan, in Obio, in New York, and New Jersey, and in each of the New England States, conversing freely with democrats, in the cars, by their firesides, in their warehouses and workshops—in all places where men utter their benedictions and maledictions, without reserve, I have heard but one voice touching “the bour and the man;’’ a voice which proclaims Stephen A. Douglas the champion of the people and the people’s sovereiguty; the hope, and the sole hope, of the democratic party of the Union. Fora time, the spirit of which I speak was simply a profound admiration of the man; admiration for his extraordinary abilities asa legislator ; aud above all, admiration of the Jackson-like pluck and proweas which carried him triumphantly through H.

ANDREW CAMPBELL, I acknowledge service of a oon of the above notice of an intended application to the Governor of the State of the Pardon of John Gardiner, convicted in the Court of Sessions held by me and associates, at the time therein the great struggle of which tbe battle ground . heavy machinery of a late improvement, (see . stated,—this 19th day of May 1859. was Illinois, while the issue, mauvifold and in expressibly important, were the concern of all true patriets in every State of the Union, But recently another feeling has blended with the opular enthusiasm—a conviction, which daily increases, that only be can safely bear the democratic standard in the next Dresidential campaign, Tbe power which sought to crush the foremost man in the ranks of the democracy sigually failed of success; but more ignobly still, risking everything in this imfamous crusade, it has distracted and we!l nigh destroyed the democratic party. It is in this great emergency that the people, hopeless of aid from an administration which cannot so much as save itself, would fain save a party on which rests the hope of the Union. What other man is equal to the work of gathering again the scattered hosts of the national democratic party? This is the question on the lips of nine democrats in ten in all the States I have named. I hear but one man mentioned as sufficient for this great emergency. Aut Caesar aut nullus— Douglas or a black republican for the next President of the United States. Politicians may scheme as they will, but the alternative is inevitable. I know that the would-be Warwicks, larger and less, are not without potency to make or mar a plot; but let them take heed to their ways. Not many months hence they will witness a storm of enthusiasm for the man of the people, especially among the democrats of the western and eastern States, which will . drive them and their schemes as chaff before the wind, Reumorep Pouttrean NeGotrations. — The Washington correspondent of the New York Herald says : Negotiations bave been going on here between the chiefe of the regular Democracy and those of the Douglas wing, including Mr. D. himself, broadly foreshadowing tbe following Presidential programme. First, the union of the two factions upon a compromise on the question of slavery in the territories, which will leave the exclusive supervision of the subject to the Supreme Court. The right of the people of the South to settle in the territories with their slave property, remaining as affirmed by the Dred Scott decision. Second, two National Conventions in 1860; the work of the Charleston Convention to be limited to the reunion of the party upon a new platform. The second Convention in this event will probably be fixed for September, and io the city of New York. By that time the chiefs of the party will have discovered their most available candidates, and where the weak pointe of the enemies lie. Pouttics In Nara Covyty.—The Napa city Reporter, an independent paper, of Saturday last, says : At present, political affairs in Napa are kept very quiet, but the calm which exists is delusive, aud to old stagers appears evidently to be the precursor of a storm. The different parties are looking around for available men for nomnation, and would-be candidates are canvassing their chanced of success. The ultra Democratic Administration men are very silent about Mr. Buchanan and his policy, while the Popular Sovereignty Democracy of the Douglas stamp are exultant in the prospect of a victory in the county and State at the next election. Great changes have certainly occurred in public sentiment since last September in favor of Popular Sovereignty as enunciated in the Cin cinnati Platform, but whether sufficient to neu. °c Sunday Morning at 11 0’clock A.M.

Grass Valley. pled, if not beaten. An Extensive Enterpriss.—Mr. L. C. MeKeeby, of Sebastapol, contemplates a novel and extensive enterprise. He intends to puta flume eighteen feet wide and six hundred feet long, into the channel of the Middle Yuba just below Hatfield’s Crossing, through which to sluice the i dirt now lying in the bed of the river, and all the tailings that flow from surrounding bills and down the stream, using the stream itself, in full volume, for that purpose. This will be in fact, an ‘mmense tail sluice. It is thought all the quicksilver needed can be collected from the tailings, as a great deal is known to escape from every claim. At the lower end of the flume a strong dam will be constructed, leaving an aperture which, as the rainy season comes on, will be closed, thus allowing the tailings to bank up and cover the flume entirely, ensuring its protection until the next low water period, when the dam will be tapped and the tailings washed, The enterprise will be an expensive one, but the projector thinks it will succeed and prove highly remunerative. Should it do so, we may look to see the whole course of this and other streams completely cleaned out.— Hydraulic Press.

The wire ropes which they turn out, have all the pliability necessary for working over an ordinary sized drum, such as used io boisting, &c., and are but little over one half the weight of manilla for the same . strength, and we are assured that taking into consideration durability, are but 25 per cent the cost of hemp, and the great advantage these ropes possess over others in not being affected . by atmospheric changes, must recommend them for all such purposes as derrick guys and ferry ropes. We must confess we are pleased to see . the increased importance of our mining inter. ests in the establishment of such manufactories as these attest. Tut New ALMApEN Mine Case.—It is expect. ed that this case will soon come up again in . the United States Court, when the question of . title, as well asthe matter of the celebrated injunction, will be fully argued and tried. We learn that the parties now in possession, or who were in possession at the time the injunction was izsued, have procured the witnesses that are expected to complete the chain of evidence of their title to the mine. Ex-Senator Benja. min, it is said, will be here to manage the case . on behalf of the present possessors, and a severe . legal battle may be looked for.
