McARTHUR, oet2-tf D, THOM, . day, the 21st instant, two miners named 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, Art Cotumsra, Toolumne county, on SunEdmund Ford and John Moran, having imbibed too much whisky, took it into their heads to fight, when Ford stabbed Moran just above the nipple, inflicting a dangerous Ford was arrested. The wounded man is likely to recover, Farau Resverr—John~ Marlow, of Tim. buctoo, died at his residence on Saturday . morning, from the effects ofan injury received by being thrown from.a horse a day or two previons, He was. native of Ireland, twenty-five years of age, and has! friends residing in New York. He was one of the best and most substantial citizens of Timbactoo. Anotner CanpipaTe {Deciinep.—T. J. Bowers, the nominee of the Union party for District Attorney of Sierra county, de-. clines.and is out for Douglas. Mr. Bowers . says the Uvion-party is not strong enough . to carry the State or county. } “~“— —. From every part of Northern Illinois, says the Missouri Republican, we have as. surances that the Republican majorities will be greatly reduced, and that Douglas ; and the whole ticket will carry the State by . i from 8,000 to $15,000. Roll on the ball! . NUMBER 378. a nee etm 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 antique statues, New Park av Barimore.—Baltimore js . to have a grand city park, after the manner of the “Central.” The celebrated “Druid Hill’’ estate, so long in the possession of the old revolutionary Rogers family, bas been purchased by the city for that purpose, at a cost of $500,000. Some 200 acres are included in the parchage, and when properly improved, will indeed furnish “lungs to the city.”’ Warre Quitts.—William M. Boball caught . two California quails, which are perfectly white, on Dows’ Prairie, near Arcata, Hamboldt county, The birds were regarded as great curiosities, Tu CoLossus oF CAnauinez.—In a Galifornia letter to the Boston Transcript occurs this bit of pleasantry: _ When cities learn to be grateful to those who give them fame, will notan American artist in taly be gladdened, some morning, by a commission from our, sunset region for a stetne of Heenan, to stand forever striking out with his left over the Straits of Carquinez
