Phe Poney Express arrived at Carson City on _ Monday morning. As this arrival was expected to bring the Charleaten nomination, and the _feeult of the Heenan and Sayers prise fight, «the intelligence bas been looked for with more “than usaal interest. ‘The wires, however, were _pdeupted all day Monday in sending private and newepaper dispatches to Sacramento and Bao Franciceo, acd not a sing!> item of intelli‘Beuee could be obtaived fo Nevada, About eight o’elock in the evening, we received \ stating that Douglas had been nomiated at Charleston. This dispatch was sent ‘ “ep to April 27th. We received another dis“patch yesterday, from Sacramento, but the _Wires were working so badly, that it was impossible te get any satisfactory intelligence. ‘Tbe news, such as it is, will be foand in another ‘column. It weuld appear that Douglas’ friends have a majority in the Charleston convention, and the ‘probability is that he will’be nominated, but ae we have not, up to the time of writing this, received any of the proceedings, we can form no decided opinion as to bis chances, The great prize fight between Heenan and Sayers, for the championship of the world, resulted ina draw on the 39th round—Sayers’ friends having broke up the fight, alleging that Heenan was strangling bis adversary. Heenan is evidently a full match for the great English pugilist. ~~ Since the above was in type, we received the Marysville Democrat, giving additional particulara relative to the proceedings of the Oharles ton Convention, which we have appended to hog intelligence received by telegraph. The arysville r giv cules tab. paper gives no particulars of the Mowtowat Exserion.—The election for city officers, on Monday, passed off quietly, and resulted in the success of U.S, Gregory for Marsbal, that being the only offiee fer which there was any contest. Messrs. Tompkins and Ballard each brought out a full ticket, and Mr, Gregory made upa ticket from the other two with the exeeption of bis own name.

Chureb, 401 Sree New Rovte to Wasnox.—We noticed, twe weeks ago, the departure of Messrs. Rich and Olin, for the purpose of viewing out a road over the mountains, by way of Wasbington township. They went up by way of Bear Valley, from thence to the Donvor cabins, thence to O'Neal’s crossing of the Big Truckee, and returned by Sardine valley, through the Henhess Pasa, following down Cafion creek and Gaston Ridge te Washington. They pronouvee the route by which they returned the most diFeet, and the easiest grade, of any leading through the Henness Pass, By following up the north side of Cafion oreek, the deep snow this side of Jackson's ranch is avoided, and they claim that the distance is ten miles less than by the route through Eureka, There is now a good wagon road to Washington, and Mr. Olin started up on Monday morning, with ten men, {0 commence work on the route between that point and the summit, It is the design of Messrs. Rich and Olin to put on more workmen ia a few days, and push the work ahead vigorously to completion, They are enterprising meo, aod likely to carry stp tres ly y through whatever they Ballard Ticket, Tux Weatuer and Fruir Cror.—From Tuesday evening of last week, up to twelve o’cloek on Saturday night, it rained almost constantly in the mountains, with an oecasional intermixture of sleet and snow. The weather was uoutually eold for the seasou—the water freezing on Sunday merning, and a heavy frost falling on the succeeding night. The fruit erop in the Mountains must have sustained considerable injury during the two cold nights, though the extent of the damage is not yet known, It is believed that the grape crop in this section, aud as far down asGrass Valley, has been almost entirely destroyed, while the peach trees have naderwent an additional thinning. Loss or a Pack Train.—We are informed that Benjamin Lachman, of Nevada, started from Marysville some days ago, with a pack train of twelve mules loaded with goods for Washoe, He went by the Downieville route, and arr. ved at Jamison’s ranch . ast Wednesday evening, where be etcopped for the night, putting his mules and goods into a shanty, in which he builta fire. During the night the shanty took fire, and the goods and eight of the mules were consumed in the flames. Avorner Pony Express.—A__ project is on foot in this place to establish a Pony Express between Nevada and Careon City. We learn that sofficient stock bas already been subscrib“ed to carry out the enterprise. The intention ‘fe te connect Nevada with the overland Pony Express at Carson City. Competent judges say that the distance between the two places can be made in eight houre, and by this means Nevada will be placed two days nearer the Hast by the present route round by Sacramen0, Lammon is our authorized Agent for this Inequality of Representation at Charleston. In our last week's Yssue, Ave stated eye Demoeratia party was @ y represented at Charleston; that the sixty-six delegetss from the seven Northwestern Btates, all of whem were Instracted to vote for Douglas, represented as many voters as the one hundred and . twenty delegates from the fifteen Southern States. In answer to this, the Journal says: Fatal oversight, neighbor. The representation is and , allowing the ed, lati d he In represent population and not t = Ke and therefore, do not represent more than falf the le in political sentiment inasmuch as the Republicans are in a majority in those States. There is but one party in the South and that party is represented by one hundred and twenty delegates who are not for Douglas. Those delegates come near popevecnting the will of a iy majority of the ple South while the sixty-six Douglas delegates lo not represent half the people of the seven States singled out. It is probable that if the party were represented at Charleston asin our State Conventions, according to its vote at the preceding election, the sixty-six votes paraded by the Democrat would _ Stare Exreworrones.—-The Sacrament Union of 8 ¥, gives a complete list of all the ap‘propriations made by the late Legislature, ‘whieh foot up the enormous sam of $1,464,5 Of this amount, $694,405 was for the current expenses of the State government, and $770,182 for miseellaneous purposes. Among the latter expenditures, were $275,000 to pay the amount due McCauley on the State Prisen contract, $100,000 for a State Capitol, and $30,000 to erect a. building for a State Reform School. These and some other misgellaneous appropriations were doubtless werthily bestowed; but a list of the expenditures will show maoy that should bave been withheld. Viewing) the matter in the most charitable light, it cannot be denied that the late Legislature have dispersed the people’s money with a prodigal hand. When the session commeneed, they found about $800,000 in the Treasury, and the probability is that every dollar which the Legbe reduced considerably, while the hundred and . jglature could touch, will be drawn oat, and twenty would not be lessened so much, leavin disparity not pleasant for the Democrat to see. The official returns of the three last Presidential elections will show to the satisfaction of any man who will take the trouble te examine them that our statement was correct—that there are to day as many Democratic voters in the seven States of the Northwest as io the fifteen Southern States. At the eleetion in 1856, Buchanan received in the six States ef Ohio, Indiana, [linois, Michigan, Iowa and Wisconsin, 536,041 votes. He received in the fifteen Southern States 609,587 votes, A comparison of these returns with those of the two precediog Presidential elections, shows that the vote of the West increases at the rate of about twenty-five per cent, every four years, while in the South the increase is only ten per cent. for the same period. Estimating a like increase for the past four years, and adding 20,000 as the Democratic vote of Minneseta, which has been admitted since 1856, we arrive at the conclusion that there are now 690,000 Democratic voters in the Northwest, and 670,000 in the South, If the party was represented at Charleston as in our State Conventions, accerding to the popular vote at the last Presidential election, and giving to the States admitted since a delegation equal to their Congressional representation, the different seetions would be entitled to the fol. lowing vote: Northeast (New England and Middle States).103 Northwestern States.. Southern States.. California and Oregon. Fee eee eww eeneee eccccccecccovccceses AL . 803 It will thus be seen thatit the party was properly represented, ‘the sixty-six votes paraded by the Dumoonat,’’ instead of being “redaced considerably,’’ would be increased twenty-five; while twenty-two votes would bave to be deducted from the hundred and twenty of the South, The Journal closes its article by calling for figures to prove that Douglas is the exponent of a majority of the Demoeratic party. When the vote in Charleston is announced, we shall give the figures, feeling confident, whatever may be the result of the balloting, that the delegates voting for Douglas will represent at least two-thirds of the Democratic vote of the Union, Minine Inprovements.—Our Omega correspondent writes us that Mr. Mattison, the inventor of the hydraulic”process of mining, has lately invented some valuable Iabor-saving machines, which are now being used by tho miners of that scction, One is thé “Mattersonian minch,”’ which is a wheel so oonstruoted that when.placed in the flume, (or telegraph near the buld-head) it throws all the trash out ofthe box—-such as sticks, pine burs, etc. Thus a simple machine saves many a trip up the bank to clear the screen, which miners were formerly compelled to make, Another useful machine is a trap-gate, placed in the box near the bulkhead, to whieh a cord is attached reaching to the place of work, By means of this, the miner can turn the water off or ov, whenever it may become necessary, without climbing a bank of a hundred feet or more, These simple machines are designed for hydraulic mining, and save a great deal of time and labor. Much credit is due to Mr. Matterson for his many valuable improvements. We learn that he is continually studying up something new to save labor, or to save the gold by a better or easier process than that usually employed, and should he remain in the mines a few years longer he would no doubt introduce many valuable improvements on the present method of working diggings. May good fortune attend him, Man Missinac—Surrosep Murpsn,—Mr. Harman Sadler, a nephew of Mr. A. Mau, of this city, in company with two other men, were returning from Washoe, and on Thursday night last stopped at Sierra Valley. On Friday morning, Mr. Sadler started ahead, intending to reach Nevada on Saturday, leaving the pack train in charge of the other men; since which nothing has been heard from him. He had some money with him, and itis feared that be has been murdered, At the time be left the train it was storming very bard and he may have perished in the snow. Mr. Man started out on Monday night in eearch of him. Ex.iorr’s Mar.—The Sacramento Union sees but one objection to Hlliott’s map of Central California, Its view of Sacramento does not give that town sufficient prominence as compared with Foleom, Auburn, Graes Valley and Nevada, The Sacramentans ought to getup a map for their own benefit—making their town the center of the universe, with only one trail leading out, and that by way of Placerville, Tae CLatrvoyant.—We leara that Miss Muoson gave two leetures, on spiritual matters, at Omega, and presoribed for a large number of invalids. Her lectures were largely attended and gave general satisfaction. She returned to Nevada on Monday. Documents.—Senators Gwin, Lane and Brewn, and Congressmen Scott, Burch, Stout and Stevens, have our thanks for a supply of political speeches on the slavery question, and other documents. Masonic.—The Grand Lodge of California F.&A.M., commenced its annual session in Sacramento on Monday. Last week, a great deal of damage was done to the fumes in Amador county, by the high ! winds. & ® . the State be again reduced to the ruinous serip system, before the close of the present year. — Cixwapar at Cocumpra Hrit.—Mr. Levi Ayres, of Columbia Hill, writes to the San Juan Press, that considerable excitement has been created in that section by the reported discovery of cinnabar, or the outcroppings of a quicksilver lead. Dr. Lilly tested ten ounces of the ore, from which he obtained a fraction short of an ounce of pure quieksilver. This test induced quite a number of patties to start for the locality, some of whom had returned, bringing specimens which resemble ia color, texture and weight, the Almaden ore. The locality whence the ore was brought, is on the Backbone ridge, in the vicinity of Foster’s and Dixon’s ranches, and about a mile aod a balf from Columbia Hill. From the tests made by Dr. Lilly, and samples of the ore, Mr. Ayres is led to bave some faith that the ore really contains quicksilver; what a thorough investigation will make of it, time will determine, Tne Henness Pass.—Jobn K. Sale, who started for Washoe, with his pack train, on Sunday weck, was at Maple’s ranch lust Weduesday, having got through the snow without any bad luck, He writes toa friend in Nevada, that houses are being built every few miles along the route, and will soon be in a condition to accommodate travelers in good shape. He probably arrived at Virginia City oo Thursday or Friday, and it was his intention to start back with bis train immediately. Several parties of adventurers crossed the mountains by the Henness Pass in the latter part of March, but no attempt was made to travel the reute during the severe and protracted storms io April. During the past two or threo wecks, however, there has been considerable travel through the Pass, and from this en pack trains will have no trouble in erossing. A Reumor.—The San Juan Press publishes a rumor, to the effect that Judge Terry had been shot, at Carson City, by Geo. Lewis, while on hia way to California to stand his trial for killing Senator Broderick. The rumor cannot be true, as Terry came through to California some two weeks ago. About three weeks ago, there was a romor in Nevada that Geo. Lewis had shot a man at Carson City, but there was net, as far as we have been able to learn, the least foundation for the report. Bovanr ovr.—The Legislature appropriated $275,000 to McCauley, the State Prison lessee, on condition that he surrender that institution to the State authorities, and release all other claims he may hold against the State, as the assignee of J. M. Estell. MeCauley has signified his willingness to accept this sum, and should the Board of Examiners agree to allow this amount, the Prigon will be surrendered on the 15th inst. Tux Arroyo Seo, on Pice, Lanp Case.— . The United States Circnit Court decided last week that the Andreas Pico grant of land, in which Jackson, Ione Valley, and other important places in Amador county were heretofore supposed to be included, shall be resurveyed s0 that the eastern boundary will uot embrace Ione Valley. The facts presented in the case convinced the Court that the “las Sierras immed atas”’ mentioned as the eastern boundary of the grant, are the lower foot-hills, not the immediute base of the Sierra Nevada as has been supposed by Pico and others. The importance of the order for a new survey will tend materially to the advancement of permanent settlement in Amador county,—Amador Ledger. Taisvas ix Urau.—The Salt Lake correspondedat of the Alia writes as follows : A day or two since, ten men were captored in the city of Provo, and stolen property valued at several thousands of dollars was taken from them. One thief confessed the commission of one hundred and seven robberies, in thie city. Stock is stolen from the rauges, stables entered and animals driven away. Stores and houses plundered with impunity, until no alternative is left, but a speedy trial and quick execution. Some of these liberated villains have openly boasted that there isno power to try them, much less to punish them. But their career is short, for the people are up aod doing. Many, undoubtedly, will flee to the new “El Dorado” of Carson, where it is hoped they will meet their deserts, Saves nv Wasnon.—The Downieville Citizen, reports the following sales in Washoe : Wm. Lovell, an old citizen of Downieville, sold 60 feet in the Sierra Nevada claims, Virginia City, for $11,000 and is now on his way to the Atlantic States. Mr. Helm, of Downieville, owned 125 feet of the Utah claim near Virginia City, 25 feet of which he sold for $2,000, retaining the remainder, which is of corresponding value. 2 Surcips at Dutow Fiat.—A suicide was coimnmitted at Dutch Flat, on Wedaesday, under the following circumstances ; One man went to the cabin of another and charged him with robbing aluices, The accused man seized a knife, drove his accuser from the house, and then shutting and fastening the door, cut his own throat. The house was subsequently opened, and the dead body of the man found. We did not ascertain his name.— Placer Herald. Lower Catirornia.—A San Diego letter dated April 25th, gives the following account of affairs in Lower California: Our friend Esparasa is doing short work of it. Up to last evening, he bas exeeuted seven desperadoes, and his men hold a list of, dear knows how many more, to shoot them on sight. This is a matter of great consequence to us, as the most of them are fugitives from justice from our side of the line to Lower California. Favors.— We are indebted to Masters George Bropext . Monument.—At a mously elected President, to fill the J.B. Rollinson, Esq. Mr. Chas. D. Oarter andDr. A. F. Sawyer were appointed a committee on Deing them in to the Secretary, Mr. J. P. Buckley, of San Franciseo, in order that the Committee may be able to form an approximate idea as to what amount of funds ean be expended for the purpose of making estimates. ee ee Tue Corner-stoxe of the new Episcopaj Church, at San Francisco, was laid on Friday ‘last. The services were performed by the Rt. Rey. Bishop Kip, assisted by the Rey. Dr. Thall and other clergymen. The following are the principle articles placed in the cavity of the corner-stone. A Bible and Book of Common Prayer, Church Almanac of 1860, several newspapers, coins, various religious pamphlets, papers, essays and catalogues reports of religious and literary institutions of San Francisco including Mercantile Library Association, Young Men’s Christian Association, Mechanic’s Institute, Chamber of Commerce, Sunday School statistics, Convention Reports, Catechisms. Thechureh is to be completed during the next twelve months. Roppery iy Marysvitie.—On Friday morning last, says the Marysville Appeal, a man named Frederick Able lay down and went to sleep upon the steps of the What Cheer House. About three o’clock, Charles Sanford, the affectionate youth who sometime ago made a murderous attack upon his father at Nevada, and pal named James Hamilton, found Able and robbed him of #15 and his hat. He gave a description of them to the police, and about six o'clock they were arrested. Hamilton was tried and discharged, but subsequently arrested and held to await the action of the Grand Jury. Fata MINING AccipEent.—A sad accident occurred at Iowa Hill on the afternoon of the 3d_ inet. Three men at work in the Jamison claim were bur. ied beneath a deep bank of earth, and fifty men, with picks and shoyels and five hundred inches of water, were employed five hours in removing the earth. Ofcourse the unfortunate men were dead when taken out, Their names were Samuel Mead, of Rochester, N. Y., aged 35 years; Thos. Jones, a sailor, aged 28 years; Henry Lulka, a German, aged 45 years. Orecon Potitics.—A Republican State Convention was held at Eugene City, Oregon, on the . 49th April. The Portland Advertiser says that upon the first ballot for a candidate for Representative in Congress, David Logan of Portland, received fifty-four votes of the sixty-five in conyention, and was declared the nominee. Dr. Wm. H. Watkins, of Josephine, R. J. Pengra, of Lane, and T, J. Dryer, of Multnomah, were then nominated as . Presidential Electors. The Convention re-affirmed the platform adopted by the Republican party last year. Royat Arcu Masons.—The Grand Chapter of Royal Arch Masons of California, convened at Sacramento on, Tuesday of last week. The following grand officers were elected on Friday: H,H.

The greatest confusion prevailed, the umpire was carried away from the ring, and the fight ‘was brought to a close, neither having been declared the winner, The contest lasted two hours easin ‘minutes, There is a rumor that they w it fight The Charleston Convention. In the Marysville Democrat, received yester. day evening, we find the following additional intelligence : The National Democratic Convention met at Charleston on Monday, the 23d of April at noon. . Tbe Convention was ealled to vorder by Judge Smalley, chairman of the Committee. T, B, . Flourney, of Arkansas, was elected temporary . ebairmau, After prayer by the Rey. Dr, Kendel, of Charleston, W. F. Richie, of Va., was . appointed temporary secretary. Kisher, of Virgieia, offered a letter from the Wood delegation of N. Y., who were excluded from the Convention. To the reading of this document, Cochrane objeeted, aod wuch excllement ensued; finally, the Convedtion deter. mined that the letter should be read. Cochrane woved the adoptien of the rules of the last National Convention. Fisher claimed the floor lamidst great excitement and cries of order. The floor was awarded to Cochrane. Fisher enid that he woald not be trampled upon. Clark of Alabama, protested against the ruling of . the Chair, aod Walker, of Alabama, mounted the Clerk’s table and appealed from the Chairman’s decision; the Chair, however, was sts. tained amidst immense cheering. Fisber again tried to present the letter with a resolution to appoiut a committee on permanent organization. Barksdale offered an amendment that it should consist of members from States not contested. Cook modified bis resolution #0 as to exclude New York and Illinois, the entire dele. gation of those States being contested. Amid . cheers and excitement, Clark of Missouri, pro. tested against excluding a delegation which . had been admitted on the floor. After a long . debate am amendment was offered by Mr. Cessna, of Pa. providing for the appoiutment of a committee on organization, and one ou creden. tials, (Illinois and New York to be excluded from the latter,) which was adopted by ayes 269, noes 44. The States were called and the . hames of a commiltce were suggested. A reso. lution was offered requiring credentials to be handed to the Secretary, when Fisher demauded that the Wood letter be read, but on motion it was referred without a reading. A resolution . was then adopted requesting New York and Il. linois delegations not to participate ia the or. panization, The credentials were then banded lin and the Convention adjourned until the fol. lowing day at 10 4.

She was a native of Mexico, but had resided in California a great many years. She leaves many descendants in Santa Clara county. Tae Qvery’s BrRTHDAY.—The British residents of San Francisco are making preparations to celebrate the birthday of Queen Victoria in a worthy and becoming manner.

A large crowd assembled in front of the hotel . listening to the disunion speeches, rushed into the hotel of the New York delegation and were . driven out by the police. Douglas’ friends pre. dict his nomination to-day. He has 23 of the . New York delegation and they calculate on . his gaining some 20 votes by the adoption of the individual voting rule. On the 28th the Committee on credentials reported tbat the sit. ting delegates from New York, Ill. and Mass., . R. R. Brentand L.M. Lancham of Maryland are entitled to their seats. A minority report was also presented ; it was signed by the mem. bers of the Commitiee of Alabama, California, .

As this arrival was expected to bring the Charleaten nomination, and the _feeult of the Heenan and Sayers prise fight, «the intelligence bas been looked for with more “than usaal interest. ‘The wires, however, were _pdeupted all day Monday in sending private and newepaper dispatches to Sacramento and Bao Franciceo, acd not a sing!> item of intelli‘Beuee could be obtaived fo Nevada, About eight o’elock in the evening, we received \ stating that Douglas had been nomiated at Charleston. This dispatch was sent ‘ “ep to April 27th. We received another dis“patch yesterday, from Sacramento, but the _Wires were working so badly, that it was impossible te get any satisfactory intelligence. ‘Tbe news, such as it is, will be foand in another ‘column. It weuld appear that Douglas’ friends have a majority in the Charleston convention, and the ‘probability is that he will’be nominated, but ae we have not, up to the time of writing this, received any of the proceedings, we can form no decided opinion as to bis chances, The great prize fight between Heenan and Sayers, for the championship of the world, resulted ina draw on the 39th round—Sayers’ friends having broke up the fight, alleging that Heenan was strangling bis adversary.

Chureb, 401 Sree New Rovte to Wasnox.—We noticed, twe weeks ago, the departure of Messrs. Rich and Olin, for the purpose of viewing out a road over the mountains, by way of Wasbington township. They went up by way of Bear Valley, from thence to the Donvor cabins, thence to O'Neal’s crossing of the Big Truckee, and returned by Sardine valley, through the Henhess Pasa, following down Cafion creek and Gaston Ridge te Washington. They pronouvee the route by which they returned the most diFeet, and the easiest grade, of any leading through the Henness Pass, By following up the north side of Cafion oreek, the deep snow this side of Jackson's ranch is avoided, and they claim that the distance is ten miles less than by the route through Eureka, There is now a good wagon road to Washington, and Mr. Olin started up on Monday morning, with ten men, {0 commence work on the route between that point and the summit, It is the design of Messrs. Rich and Olin to put on more workmen ia a few days, and push the work ahead vigorously to completion, They are enterprising meo, aod likely to carry stp tres ly y through whatever they Ballard Ticket, Tux Weatuer and Fruir Cror.—From Tuesday evening of last week, up to twelve o’cloek on Saturday night, it rained almost constantly in the mountains, with an oecasional intermixture of sleet and snow. The weather was uoutually eold for the seasou—the water freezing on Sunday merning, and a heavy frost falling on the succeeding night. The fruit erop in the Mountains must have sustained considerable injury during the two cold nights, though the extent of the damage is not yet known, It is believed that the grape crop in this section, aud as far down asGrass Valley, has been almost entirely destroyed, while the peach trees have naderwent an additional thinning. Loss or a Pack Train.—We are informed that Benjamin Lachman, of Nevada, started from Marysville some days ago, with a pack train of twelve mules loaded with goods for Washoe, He went by the Downieville route, and arr. ved at Jamison’s ranch . ast Wednesday evening, where be etcopped for the night, putting his mules and goods into a shanty, in which he builta fire. During the night the shanty took fire, and the goods and eight of the mules were consumed in the flames. Avorner Pony Express.—A__ project is on foot in this place to establish a Pony Express between Nevada and Careon City. We learn that sofficient stock bas already been subscrib“ed to carry out the enterprise. The intention ‘fe te connect Nevada with the overland Pony Express at Carson City. Competent judges say that the distance between the two places can be made in eight houre, and by this means Nevada will be placed two days nearer the Hast by the present route round by Sacramen0, Lammon is our authorized Agent for this Inequality of Representation at Charleston. In our last week's Yssue, Ave stated eye Demoeratia party was @ y represented at Charleston; that the sixty-six delegetss from the seven Northwestern Btates, all of whem were Instracted to vote for Douglas, represented as many voters as the one hundred and . twenty delegates from the fifteen Southern States. In answer to this, the Journal says: Fatal oversight, neighbor. The representation is and , allowing the ed, lati d he In represent population and not t = Ke and therefore, do not represent more than falf the le in political sentiment inasmuch as the Republicans are in a majority in those States. There is but one party in the South and that party is represented by one hundred and twenty delegates who are not for Douglas. Those delegates come near popevecnting the will of a iy majority of the ple South while the sixty-six Douglas delegates lo not represent half the people of the seven States singled out. It is probable that if the party were represented at Charleston asin our State Conventions, according to its vote at the preceding election, the sixty-six votes paraded by the Democrat would _ Stare Exreworrones.—-The Sacrament Union of 8 ¥, gives a complete list of all the ap‘propriations made by the late Legislature, ‘whieh foot up the enormous sam of $1,464,5 Of this amount, $694,405 was for the current expenses of the State government, and $770,182 for miseellaneous purposes. Among the latter expenditures, were $275,000 to pay the amount due McCauley on the State Prisen contract, $100,000 for a State Capitol, and $30,000 to erect a. building for a State Reform School. These and some other misgellaneous appropriations were doubtless werthily bestowed; but a list of the expenditures will show maoy that should bave been withheld. Viewing) the matter in the most charitable light, it cannot be denied that the late Legislature have dispersed the people’s money with a prodigal hand. When the session commeneed, they found about $800,000 in the Treasury, and the probability is that every dollar which the Legbe reduced considerably, while the hundred and . jglature could touch, will be drawn oat, and twenty would not be lessened so much, leavin disparity not pleasant for the Democrat to see. The official returns of the three last Presidential elections will show to the satisfaction of any man who will take the trouble te examine them that our statement was correct—that there are to day as many Democratic voters in the seven States of the Northwest as io the fifteen Southern States. At the eleetion in 1856, Buchanan received in the six States ef Ohio, Indiana, [linois, Michigan, Iowa and Wisconsin, 536,041 votes. He received in the fifteen Southern States 609,587 votes, A comparison of these returns with those of the two precediog Presidential elections, shows that the vote of the West increases at the rate of about twenty-five per cent, every four years, while in the South the increase is only ten per cent. for the same period. Estimating a like increase for the past four years, and adding 20,000 as the Democratic vote of Minneseta, which has been admitted since 1856, we arrive at the conclusion that there are now 690,000 Democratic voters in the Northwest, and 670,000 in the South, If the party was represented at Charleston as in our State Conventions, accerding to the popular vote at the last Presidential election, and giving to the States admitted since a delegation equal to their Congressional representation, the different seetions would be entitled to the fol. lowing vote: Northeast (New England and Middle States)..103 Northwestern States... Southern States.... California and Oregon. Fee eee eww eeneee eccccccecccovccceses AL . 803 It will thus be seen thatit the party was properly represented, ‘the sixty-six votes paraded by the Dumoonat,’’ instead of being “redaced considerably,’’ would be increased twenty-five; while twenty-two votes would bave to be deducted from the hundred and twenty of the South, The Journal closes its article by calling for figures to prove that Douglas is the exponent of a majority of the Demoeratic party. When the vote in Charleston is announced, we shall give the figures, feeling confident, whatever may be the result of the balloting, that the delegates voting for Douglas will represent at least two-thirds of the Democratic vote of the Union, Minine Inprovements.—Our Omega correspondent writes us that Mr. Mattison, the inventor of the hydraulic”process of mining, has lately invented some valuable Iabor-saving machines, which are now being used by tho miners of that scction, One is thé “Mattersonian minch,”’ which is a wheel so oonstruoted that when.placed in the flume, (or telegraph near the buld-head) it throws all the trash out ofthe box—-such as sticks, pine burs, etc. Thus a simple machine saves many a trip up the bank to clear the screen, which miners were formerly compelled to make, Another useful machine is a trap-gate, placed in the box near the bulkhead, to whieh a cord is attached reaching to the place of work, By means of this, the miner can turn the water off or ov, whenever it may become necessary, without climbing a bank of a hundred feet or more, These simple machines are designed for hydraulic mining, and save a great deal of time and labor. Much credit is due to Mr. Matterson for his many valuable improvements. We learn that he is continually studying up something new to save labor, or to save the gold by a better or easier process than that usually employed, and should he remain in the mines a few years longer he would no doubt introduce many valuable improvements on the present method of working diggings. May good fortune attend him, Man Missinac—Surrosep Murpsn,—Mr. Harman Sadler, a nephew of Mr. A. Mau, of this city, in company with two other men, were returning from Washoe, and on Thursday night last stopped at Sierra Valley. On Friday morning, Mr. Sadler started ahead, intending to reach Nevada on Saturday, leaving the pack train in charge of the other men; since which nothing has been heard from him. He had some money with him, and itis feared that be has been murdered, At the time be left the train it was storming very bard and he may have perished in the snow. Mr. Man started out on Monday night in eearch of him. Ex.iorr’s Mar.—The Sacramento Union sees but one objection to Hlliott’s map of Central California, Its view of Sacramento does not give that town sufficient prominence as compared with Foleom, Auburn, Graes Valley and Nevada, The Sacramentans ought to getup a map for their own benefit—making their town the center of the universe, with only one trail leading out, and that by way of Placerville, Tae CLatrvoyant.—We leara that Miss Muoson gave two leetures, on spiritual matters, at Omega, and presoribed for a large number of invalids. Her lectures were largely attended and gave general satisfaction. She returned to Nevada on Monday. Documents.—Senators Gwin, Lane and Brewn, and Congressmen Scott, Burch, Stout and Stevens, have our thanks for a supply of political speeches on the slavery question, and other documents. Masonic.—The Grand Lodge of California F.&A.M., commenced its annual session in Sacramento on Monday. Last week, a great deal of damage was done to the fumes in Amador county, by the high ! winds. & ® . the State be again reduced to the ruinous serip system, before the close of the present year. — Cixwapar at Cocumpra Hrit.—Mr. Levi Ayres, of Columbia Hill, writes to the San Juan Press, that considerable excitement has been created in that section by the reported discovery of cinnabar, or the outcroppings of a quicksilver lead. Dr. Lilly tested ten ounces of the ore, from which he obtained a fraction short of an ounce of pure quieksilver. This test induced quite a number of patties to start for the locality, some of whom had returned, bringing specimens which resemble ia color, texture and weight, the Almaden ore. The locality whence the ore was brought, is on the Backbone ridge, in the vicinity of Foster’s and Dixon’s ranches, and about a mile aod a balf from Columbia Hill. From the tests made by Dr. Lilly, and samples of the ore, Mr. Ayres is led to bave some faith that the ore really contains quicksilver; what a thorough investigation will make of it, time will determine, Tne Henness Pass.—Jobn K. Sale, who started for Washoe, with his pack train, on Sunday weck, was at Maple’s ranch lust Weduesday, having got through the snow without any bad luck, He writes toa friend in Nevada, that houses are being built every few miles along the route, and will soon be in a condition to accommodate travelers in good shape. He probably arrived at Virginia City oo Thursday or Friday, and it was his intention to start back with bis train immediately. Several parties of adventurers crossed the mountains by the Henness Pass in the latter part of March, but no attempt was made to travel the reute during the severe and protracted storms io April. During the past two or threo wecks, however, there has been considerable travel through the Pass, and from this en pack trains will have no trouble in erossing. A Reumor.—The San Juan Press publishes a rumor, to the effect that Judge Terry had been shot, at Carson City, by Geo. Lewis, while on hia way to California to stand his trial for killing Senator Broderick. The rumor cannot be true, as Terry came through to California some two weeks ago. About three weeks ago, there was a romor in Nevada that Geo. Lewis had shot a man at Carson City, but there was net, as far as we have been able to learn, the least foundation for the report. Bovanr ovr.—The Legislature appropriated $275,000 to McCauley, the State Prison lessee, on condition that he surrender that institution to the State authorities, and release all other claims he may hold against the State, as the assignee of J. M. Estell. MeCauley has signified his willingness to accept this sum, and should the Board of Examiners agree to allow this amount, the Prigon will be surrendered on the 15th inst. Tux Arroyo Seo, on Pice, Lanp Case.— . The United States Circnit Court decided last week that the Andreas Pico grant of land, in which Jackson, Ione Valley, and other important places in Amador county were heretofore supposed to be included, shall be resurveyed s0 that the eastern boundary will uot embrace Ione Valley. The facts presented in the case convinced the Court that the “las Sierras immed atas”’ mentioned as the eastern boundary of the grant, are the lower foot-hills, not the immediute base of the Sierra Nevada as has been supposed by Pico and others. The importance of the order for a new survey will tend materially to the advancement of permanent settlement in Amador county,—Amador Ledger. Taisvas ix Urau.—The Salt Lake correspondedat of the Alia writes as follows : A day or two since, ten men were captored in the city of Provo, and stolen property valued at several thousands of dollars was taken from them. One thief confessed the commission of one hundred and seven robberies, in thie city. Stock is stolen from the rauges, stables entered and animals driven away. Stores and houses plundered with impunity, until no alternative is left, but a speedy trial and quick execution. Some of these liberated villains have openly boasted that there isno power to try them, much less to punish them. But their career is short, for the people are up aod doing. Many, undoubtedly, will flee to the new “El Dorado” of Carson, where it is hoped they will meet their deserts, Saves nv Wasnon.—The Downieville Citizen, reports the following sales in Washoe : Wm. Lovell, an old citizen of Downieville, sold 60 feet in the Sierra Nevada claims, Virginia City, for $11,000 and is now on his way to the Atlantic States. Mr. Helm, of Downieville, owned 125 feet of the Utah claim near Virginia City, 25 feet of which he sold for $2,000, retaining the remainder, which is of corresponding value. 2 Surcips at Dutow Fiat.—A suicide was coimnmitted at Dutch Flat, on Wedaesday, under the following circumstances ; One man went to the cabin of another and charged him with robbing aluices, The accused man seized a knife, drove his accuser from the house, and then shutting and fastening the door, cut his own throat. The house was subsequently opened, and the dead body of the man found. We did not ascertain his name.— Placer Herald. Lower Catirornia.—A San Diego letter dated April 25th, gives the following account of affairs in Lower California: Our friend Esparasa is doing short work of it. Up to last evening, he bas exeeuted seven desperadoes, and his men hold a list of, dear knows how many more, to shoot them on sight. This is a matter of great consequence to us, as the most of them are fugitives from justice from our side of the line to Lower California. Favors.— We are indebted to Masters George Bropext .

A Bible and Book of Common Prayer, Church Almanac of 1860, several newspapers, coins, various religious pamphlets, papers, essays and catalogues reports of religious and literary institutions of San Francisco including Mercantile Library Association, Young Men’s Christian Association, Mechanic’s Institute, Chamber of Commerce, Sunday School statistics, Convention Reports, Catechisms. Thechureh is to be completed during the next twelve months. Roppery iy Marysvitie.—On Friday morning last, says the Marysville Appeal, a man named Frederick Able lay down and went to sleep upon the steps of the What Cheer House. About three o’clock, Charles Sanford, the affectionate youth who sometime ago made a murderous attack upon his father at Nevada, and pal named James Hamilton, found Able and robbed him of #15 and his hat. He gave a description of them to the police, and about six o'clock they were arrested. Hamilton was tried and discharged, but subsequently arrested and held to await the action of the Grand Jury. Fata MINING AccipEent.—A sad accident occurred at Iowa Hill on the afternoon of the 3d_ inet. Three men at work in the Jamison claim were bur. ied beneath a deep bank of earth, and fifty men, with picks and shoyels and five hundred inches of water, were employed five hours in removing the earth. Ofcourse the unfortunate men were dead when taken out, Their names were Samuel Mead, of Rochester, N. Y., aged 35 years; Thos. Jones, a sailor, aged 28 years; Henry Lulka, a German, aged 45 years. Orecon Potitics.—A Republican State Convention was held at Eugene City, Oregon, on the . 49th April. The Portland Advertiser says that upon the first ballot for a candidate for Representative in Congress, David Logan of Portland, received fifty-four votes of the sixty-five in conyention, and was declared the nominee. Dr. Wm. H. Watkins, of Josephine, R. J. Pengra, of Lane, and T, J. Dryer, of Multnomah, were then nominated as . Presidential Electors. The Convention re-affirmed the platform adopted by the Republican party last year.

The greatest confusion prevailed, the umpire was carried away from the ring, and the fight ‘was brought to a close, neither having been declared the winner, The contest lasted two hours easin ‘minutes, There is a rumor that they w it fight The Charleston Convention. In the Marysville Democrat, received yester. day evening, we find the following additional intelligence : The National Democratic Convention met at Charleston on Monday, the 23d of April at noon. . Tbe Convention was ealled to vorder by Judge Smalley, chairman of the Committee. T, B, . Flourney, of Arkansas, was elected temporary . ebairmau, After prayer by the Rey. Dr, Kendel, of Charleston, W. F. Richie, of Va., was . appointed temporary secretary. Kisher, of Virgieia, offered a letter from the Wood delegation of N. Y., who were excluded from the Convention. To the reading of this document, Cochrane objeeted, aod wuch excllement ensued; finally, the Convedtion deter. mined that the letter should be read. Cochrane woved the adoptien of the rules of the last National Convention. Fisher claimed the floor lamidst great excitement and cries of order. The floor was awarded to Cochrane. Fisher enid that he woald not be trampled upon. Clark of Alabama, protested against the ruling of . the Chair, aod Walker, of Alabama, mounted the Clerk’s table and appealed from the Chairman’s decision; the Chair, however, was sts. tained amidst immense cheering. Fisber again tried to present the letter with a resolution to appoiut a committee on permanent organization. Barksdale offered an amendment that it should consist of members from States not contested. Cook modified bis resolution #0 as to exclude New York and Illinois, the entire dele. gation of those States being contested. Amid . cheers and excitement, Clark of Missouri, pro. tested against excluding a delegation which . had been admitted on the floor. After a long . debate am amendment was offered by Mr. Cessna, of Pa. providing for the appoiutment of a committee on organization, and one ou creden. tials, (Illinois and New York to be excluded from the latter,) which was adopted by ayes 269, noes 44. The States were called and the . hames of a commiltce were suggested. A reso. lution was offered requiring credentials to be handed to the Secretary, when Fisher demauded that the Wood letter be read, but on motion it was referred without a reading. A resolution . was then adopted requesting New York and Il. linois delegations not to participate ia the or. panization, The credentials were then banded lin and the Convention adjourned until the fol. lowing day at 10 4.
