gevnda Deworrat. Tas Annest oF Herry PLAacn.—We have received the following communication in reference tothe arrest of Henry Place, alluded to in our last issue, and the facts, as stated by the writer, we are informed from other sources, are substantially correct: «J have just read a short paragraph in your issue of Tuesday last, respecting the arrest of Mr. Henry Place of the Nevada and Washington stage. The article is kind and fair, but fails to do Mr. P. justice, through the omission of two or three facts, with which ot were probably not acquainted. As Mr. P. is one of our most steady and industrious young men, and highly esteemed by those who are intimately acquainted with him, it is a pity that any wro impression should be made in connection wit the late transaction. The facts, as I have good authority for saying, are these: The money— —was handed to Mr. P. just as he was ready to start from Washington, and placed in his coat pocket. With bad roads, and a large number of passengers, several of whom werc outside, his attention was occupied with his team until he reached this city, where, for the first time, he missed the money. After searching for it in vain, he went up to Washington, and informed the party there of the loss, acknowledged his responsibility, asa “common carrier,” to refund it, and offered to give security for the whole amount, until he could go among his friends and raise it. He understood that his proposition was accepted, and was surprised A a writ was issued for his arrest. Asthe complainant subsequently offered to withdraw the suit upon the payment of the money, and as Mr, P. intended to refund it un. der any circumstances, in order to save time and lawyers’ fees, he obtained the requisite . amount from friends, who would trust to his honesty for ten times the amount. The above is written without the knowledge . of Mr. Place, but as an act of justice to a most worthy young man whose chief capital in life is a good character.” Frou Camp S1cEL.—We learn from Serg. Hollister, who arrived in town from Auburn, last evening, that a partial selection of officers has been made by the Nevada company now at Camp Sigel. Chas. Atchisson was chosen Captain, P. Husrt, lst Sergeant, G. L. Hollister, 2ddo., and James Wilson, 3ddo. Three corporals were also elected whose names our informant does not recollect. The remaining officers, including two Lieutenants, one Orderly and two duty Sereants, and three corporals, will not be filled at present. The company now have forty-four men muswred in, and the number is daily increasing. Mr. Hollister has been detached for the recruiting service, and will give all our partiotic young men who desire it, an opportunity of joining the company immediately. There isa report current to the effeet that the officers and men of the Fourth, at Camp Sigel, are very much dissatisfied with their new commander, Col. Forman. This, we are pleased to state Mr. Hollister flatly contradicts, and says, if anything, he is even a greater favorite in the camp than his predecessor, Col. Judah. Great excitement was caused in Auburn, on Tuesday, by a Chinaman picking up a nugget of gold, nearly pure, in the road between the camp and the village, which weighed £25 ounces, and is valued at $2,100. Tux Henness Roap.—Mr. Frederick Mantell arrived in Nevada on Tuesday evening, direct from Washoe, by way of the Henness toad. He started from Virginia City witn Mau’s stage, on Friday morning, and was the only passenger—he and the driver coming through at the worst time during the storm. They left the stage at Maples’ ranch, and came on horseback the remainder of the way. They passed a number of wagons that had been left inthe snow, the teamsters having taken shelterat the different stations, and were endeavoring to save their stock. We learned this morning that a hundred head of stock was driven down from Maples’ to Eureka yesterday, which must have broken a pretty good track. We have not learned as to whether the road had been opened beyond Maples,’ but should the weather continue pleasant, we presume there will be little difficulty in keeping up communication with Virginia City. Mr. Mansell informs us that the snow was about five feet . deep on the summit last Tuesday. _ District Covrt.—The following proceeding were had in the District Court yesterday: . Palmer vs, Newton et al.—Judgment for . plaintiff. People ex rel. Eureka Lake Co.vs. Van Ha. gan.—Motion to open case andadmit further testimony refused. Ferre vs. McLaughlin et al.—Leave granted defendants to amend answer.

Mangin ys, Bell et al.—Decree of foreclosure and sale entered. Covrt or Sesstons.—In the case of L.2. Hunasman, tried on Tuesday for assault with ‘a#ent to kill, the jury, at eleven o'clock P. M.,, brought in a verdict of guilty. A motion was. made this morning for a new trial, and the sen. tence hasbeen postponed.

CLOTHING, HATS, CAPS MininG COMPANIES IN THIS CoUNTY. Grass VaLiny, Aug. 3, 1861. Messrs. Temry & Invinc:—Gents: I have been using your Machine Sewed Hose tor some time past, and . find it works better than any hoxe I have ever before used. I have one hundred and ninety-six feet pressure, which only the strongest and best made hose is able to stand. The advantage of Machine Made Ho-e is that the seams are more regular than can be made by hand, thereby giving an equal strain on all the threads. It is perfectly smooth, and consequently will last longer than that manufactuied by hand. R Tuomas. Greennorn, Aug. 25, 1861. Terry & Invinc:—Sirs: 1 was inducedéto purchase some of your Machine Sewed Hose in consequence of it being cheaper than other hosa, and after having used it for eight months, Iam fully satisfieu that it is much more durabie than that made by hand. This is very easily accounte* for from the fact that the seams being perfectly » raightand smooth there is less friction. I shal} certainly recommend my friends to purchase that in preference to-any other. JAMES SOUTHALL, Quakpa Hint, Aug. 27, 1861. Messrs. Terry, & Invanc:--Gentlemen: In regard to the durabitity of your Machine Sewed Hose, Ihave no hesitation in saying: that I prefer it to that manufactured by hand, I have been using your hosefor the past year, andin every particular it has given entire satisfaction.
