Aevada Democrat.
Ponitics 1v Canaveras.—Old party lines
having been completely rubbed out, it has
been a difficult problem to work out the result of the coming election in the Democratic strong-hold of Calaveras, Influenced
in our calculation, by the well known prestige of the pro-slavery wing-of the Democratic party, four weeks ago we should have
accorded the county to Breckinridge by
from one hundred and fifty to two bandred
votes—wild calculators talked about six
and eight hundred, and political demagogues mentioned a thousand and twelve
hundred. But now, after the county has
been pretty thoroughly canvassed in all its
. smaller precincts as it was before in the
larger ones, we should say, with little hesitation, that Douglas will carry the county
by a plurality vote of not less than two handred and fifty. The Lincoln vote will overgo 1,000, It will be remembered that in
an estimate we made in the Independent
some weeks ago of the relative strength of
. parties in Calaveras, it was stated that if
the Douglas gains throughout the smaller
precincts were in the same proportion with
the showing at that time in the larger ones,
the county must go for that wing of the
party, We have seen and conversed with
skillfal canvassers enough to be satiefied
that such is the fact, and consequently that
the major part of the Douglas ticket will be
elected by a small majority.—[San Andreas
Independent.
He wit nor Speax.—Mr. Woodcock, the
fusion (Douglas and Breckinridge) candidate for the Assembly in Santa Cruz county
having been questioned as to whether he
will vote, if elected, for Gwin for United
States Senator, answers thus:
“As for United States Senator, I have no
pledges to make. The two Conventions
that nominated me entertained different
and conflicting views on this subject. They
agreed to trust to my judgment, and leave
me untrammeled on that head, aud I shall
do nothing to destroy the harmony that led
to my nomination. It must be apparent to
the least reflective that an expression of
opinion on this subject would dissolve the
existing alliance, and render certain the
election of the Republican candidate.”
A Goexerovus Miser.—King, the money
lending miser of San. Francisco, has*donated $25 to the Orphan Asylum of that city,
. but it was given in this wise, says the
Mirror :
“He had loaned $400 to a gentleman on
some jewels in a case, The gentleman redeemed them. On reaching home he found
!a valuable diamond cross in the case that
did not belong to him. King bad placed it
there and forgotten the circumstance. He
met King and told him he would save him
$100 if he would give $25 to the Asylum.
King agreed, and put up security for the
performance of the bargain. The diamond
cross was produced and King had to pay
the $25,”
Tne Way.—lIt has often been a mystery
where the Indians procured amunition, but
so far as lead is concerned, the Trinity
Journal says that at Bear river, in Hamboldt county, the Indians are busy gathering it from trees, they having, by scaffolds
and other contrivances, cut out all the old
bullets shot by packers and others who
have amused themselves at target practice.
From one tree they got four pounds,

Tue Minera WeattH or Mextco.—Gen:
Shields ina lecture recently delivered in
San Francisco, thus alludes to the mineral
resources of Mexico :
“The mineral wealth of Mexico is beyond
the boands of human conception, So far
from that wealth having been discovered
or devoloped, as yet the surface of the
great mineral region of this continent has
scarcely been scratched, One journeys for
weeks In the mountains over gold and silver mines, which are not only accessible to
the simplest appliances of labor, but which
would employ millions and enrich a world,
if there was anything like the intelligent industry of California. there, and that indus(ry could have protection. In Mexico, Nature has heaped up her mineral treasure.
There is the treasure, there the storebouse
in which that treasure is laid away, to be
poured out at some future day upon an astonished world. The wealth of California
and Australia is effecting a revolution in
human affrirs—the treasure of Mexico will
complete it,’”’
ANAN AS A SPECIAL CorRESPONDENT.
— Washington correspondent of the
World gives information in regard to the
Herald’s special correspondent from that
city, which if true shows that Mr. Buchanan
attends to other things beside the grave alfairs.of state. The correspondent rays:
“It isthe subject of much comment in
newspaper circles here, that the private
secretary of the President writes a portion
ofthe special dispatches sent to the Herald,
which are sometimes submitted to the President before they are telegraphed. You
can depend upon this as reliable. Perhaps
this curious fact will account for the political-character of that paper’s dispatches, if
it does not account for their general reliability.” : “
PopunaTion or Kansas.—The census returns of Kansas are reported in part :
_ To thirty-one counties the total population is 83,445. Nine counties not yet returned will add at least ten thousand to the
amount, so that the entire population of
Kansas at the present time cannot be less
than ninety thousand, and this notwithstanding the emigration to the gold mines, and
the drouth, by both of which the loss of population tothe Territory is estimated at
25,000. The population of Leavenworth
City is 8223; of Atchison, 2616; of Lawrence, 1760, The latter city bas suffered
severely by the emigration to the gold
mines,’
A Vicorovs O1p bany.—An Ashland
(Mass.) correspondent of the Abington
Standard reports some notable things of an
old lady in that town named Jones. She is
the widow of. Elisha Jones, is ninety-one
yeare of age, and since she was eighty-five
years o!d has earned money enough by
sewing and braiding straw to erect a monument to her husband’s memory, costing
seventy-five dollars. On the 15th. inst. she
was riding about the village on horseback.
She is able to ride thas a dozen miles without fatigue. Her faculties are preserved to
aremarkable degree, and she is as active
about domestic affairs as a woman of fifty.
She has now living sixty-seven children,
ty children, and great-great-grand cbilren.
Great Desrrvorion or Literary TreasuruSs.--On the 27th of August, at Gotha,
the castle of Friedenstein was discovered
to be in flames, and at about four o’clock
had to be battered down with cannon. The
castle contained a chirch, with a vaulted
burial place for royal persons, a theatre,
halls of session for the holding of councils,
& museum, with a library of 200,000 volumes, & cabinet of coins, a collection of
pictures and prints, a cabinet of art, a collection ef objects in natural history, a Chinese collection, and another of casts from

included in the parchage, and when properly improved, will indeed furnish “lungs to
