Bryant, County Physician of Sierra, it appears that the whole number of patients admitted into the Downieville-hospital during the past year waa eighty-five, and forty-two have been treated outside the hospital. Fifteen patients remained in the hospital at the close of the year. The gross expenses for the year was $6,185. In proportion to the number of patients treated, the cost of taking care of the indigent sick is about the same in Sierra county, ag it has been for the past two years in Nevada, In Sierra, the Supervisors employ a physician and steward, the former at a salary of $2,000, the latter at $1,500, and the food and other necessaries for the patients are purchased as required and paid for by the county. In Nevada the patients are taken care of by contract, the county furnishing the hospital building and paying one dollar a day for food, clothing, medical attendance, ete., for each patient. Neeno Riot at Vicronta.—A serious negro riot occurred in the Colonial Theater, at Victoria, on the night of November 3d. Twomegroes forced their way into the theater, by breaking down a door, and took their seats in the parquette, The whites attempted to put them out, when a party of negroes, armed with clabs, rushed in to the assistance of their fellows. A general fight ensued; the actors, in stage coutume, rushed into the parquette, to take part in the fight, and the ladies took refuge behind the scenes: A number of whites were knocked down by negroes, and one negro took a camphene Jamp from the foot-lights and threw it among thé audience; the compliment was returoed by @ white man, and a negro’s hair and clothes set on fire by the burning camphene, whleh, however, was soon extinguuished by one of hig friends. The riot was finally quelled by the police, who took the principal rioters into custody, and marched them off to.prison. On the morning of the 5th, the rioters were examined, and four negroes and two white men were held to bail in the sum of fifty dollars each, to appear for trial on the 7th, Tux Next Leaisiature,—The Sacramento Union, of yesterday, publishes a list of the members of the next Legislature, and their political proclivities as far as Known at present, From this it appears that of the thirty-five Senators, 19 are Douglas men, ll are Breckinridge, and 5 are Republicans. The Assembly is composed of 38 Douglas men, 22 Breckinridge men, 19 Republicans and one Bell-Everett man. There is some doubt as to the politics of two or three members; but the Douglas men have a clear majority in the Senate, and a large plurality in the Assembly, and those members who have not taken any decided position during the late political eanvass Will be likely to act with the strongest party in the Legislature, The Douglas men will control the organization of the Senate, and by adopting a conciliatory course, and with proper management, they Will be able to organize the Assembly, and elect a U.S, Senator. Surrerro iy Kaxsas,—aAll accounts concur that the people of Kansas, in consequence of the failure of the crops are suffering for the aetaal necessaries of life. Thaddeus Hyatt, ina letter to the President, asking a postponement of the land sales, says that thousands of once thrifty and prosperous citizens are now perishing of want, Winter is upon them; of clothing they are nearly bereft, and they have not food to last them through the cold season that is approaching. Of over one hundred thousand people upon Kansas soil six months ago, at least one-fourth have left, and of the remainder it is sate to say that forty thousand see nothing but exodus or starvation before them. Judging from the accounts published, the failure of the crops must have been universal throughout the Territory. AnotnHer Pony, with dates from St. Louis to the 14th inst., arrived at Fort Churchill this afternoon. We were unable to get a dispatch before going to press. Secessioy Movements.—The Pony Express, which arrived at Fort Churchill on the 22d, brings dates from St. Louis to November 12th, A violent secession agitation was going on in South Carolina and Georgia at latest dates, Senators Chestaut and Toombs bad resigned their seats in the U.S. Senate, and the Collector of the port of Charleston had also resigned. Bills had been introduced in the Legislatures of those States taxing artieles manufactured in Massacbusetts, and also te provide for confiscating the property of citizens of the States that voted for Lincoln, In Seutb Carolina, measures had been taken for a state Conventioa—the delegates to be elected on the 4th of December, and the Convention to} meet on the 17th, An wosuceeseful at anp Loss or Lire.—The S. F. He aiecor. ot Thursday last, tays : Last ight intelligence reached this city, by the scboouer Fanay Piper, that the brig J. 8. Cabot, Capt. Gage, during the heavy ale of the 15th instant, whilst at anchor at Mendocino, was capsized by the terrific violence of the wiad and proved a total loss. . Capt. Gage succeeded in swimming ashore; . all the rest, comprising the mate and six . hands, were drowned. Tbe mate and four hands, belonging to the schoouer Kalona, . volunteered their services to go to the rescue of the ill-fated crew of the capsized brig, but their boat was struck by a heavy . sea, Was swamped, and every one of there . humane and noble men perished in the mad . waters! Thus twelve beings were lost to . the world. he schooner Kaluna, shortly . expected in this port, will bring further and . full particulars of this melancholy disaster, The bark W. B. Scranton, which arrived The Late Massacre of Immigrants, A correspondent of the Portland Advertiser, writing from the Dalles, Nov. 12th, relates some incidents of painful interest in cqnneetion with the late massacre of Oregon immigrants, aud the sufferings of the survivors. The train was composed of fortytwo persons, a majority of whom were women and children, When they arrived at Fort Neuf, Col. Howe undertook to settle some difficulty among members of the train, which caused ill-feeliug, and to avenge his pique, Howe swore that the train should not bave an escort. He partially changed his mind, however, and gave them an escort for six days, which brought them just where danger was to be apprebended, and they were then abandoned to their fate: Tbe remainder of the tale ia given in the tempt was made to delay action for South-. 9+ San Francisco on Wednesday, reports language of one of the survivors: era co-operation, but the Legislature deci-. three successive gales ia the Straits of Fuca, . After the soldiers left us, I felt very bad, ded that the State should go out of the) during which the vessel was considerably Union at all hazards, and without reference . damaged, and 25,000 feet of lumber was to the actton of other States, Goverbor . thrown overboard. It is feared that other Brown, in a special meseage to the Georgia . -osselg were lost o2 the northern coast dur. mach farther. Legislature, recommends the seizure of property or money belonging to the citizens of those States that refuse to vote according to the wishes of Georgia, and that all laws protecting the life, liberty and property of citizens of Northern States be repealed. He also recommends an appropriation of one million of dollars to place the army of Georgia on a war footing, and says the motto of the State should be to “stand to arms.” An immense mass meeting was held at Savannah on the evening of November 9th, at which resolutions were adopted not to submit to the election of Lincoln, and requesting the Legislature to calla Convention to determine a mode of redress, A dispatch from Mobile dated about the 11th or 12th inst., says that a plan for secession would be organized that week. The secession movements, as far as we have any accounts, seem to be confined to South Carolina, Georgia and Alabama, but if any serious attempt at disunion is made, doubting that gale. Tru. ov Carr axo Rupsus.—A special term of the U.S. Distriet Court, for Western Utab, bas been held at Carson City for . the trial of Carr and Rudsill, charged with . the marder of Cherry. The Coart convened on Monday last, by order of Judge Cradlebaugh, and a dispatch from Carson City dated Thursday the 22d gives the result of . the trial, as follows : . . The trial of Carr, accused of the murder . of Cherry, alias Tennesse, termivated last night. The jary were out about a balf hour and brought in a verdict of murder in the . ifirst degree. Judge Cradlebaugh passed sentence this morning. Carr is to be hung . on Friday, the 30th inst. The prisoner ap. peared very little affected. Rudsill, who turned State's evidence against Carr, was released, and left for parts unknown. It will be remembered that Radsill was arrested in this county, from whence he was taken back to Washoe. While in custody here he told an acquaintance that he less Mississippi and Florida will join the seceeding States. Buiastine Accipent.—The San Juan Press of this morning, gives the following particulars of the blasting accident at Manzanita Hill, already notiecd: About 10 o’clock on Friday morning, our informant, Henry Harper, and his eo-laborer, Richard Dodge, were about to complete the tamping for a blast, when the explosion pet They are entirely ignorant of what could have produced it, as they were using a plentiful quantity of water, and worked with even unusual care. Harper had the little finger of the right band blown off; also the thumb and two first fingers of the left hand, above the second joints, He . ® also received a severe wound on the left had no hand in the murder of Cherry, but that he knew all about it. IntEResTING SpecuLations.—In the year 1815, the late Elkanah Watson, as appears in“Men and Times of the Revolutivn,” made and published an estimate of the probable population of the United States for a long series of years. The actual result thus . far shows a singular approximation in the calculations, He calculated the population would be--In 1820— 9,625,734; the actual result 9,638,151. In 1330—12,833,645; the actual result, 12,as the indications were omnious, Oue lady expressed her belief that she would not go True for her; she was killed next morning, together with her husband and three children, This occurred two weeks after the soldiers left us. The Indians visited usevery day. We had four soldiers with us, but they were deserters and left us. One of them was killed in our presence, and another named Snyder took bis money and papers and is supposed to have made off with his companions. After they bad left the Indiana made arusb, and cutting the wagon covers, shot their arrows through the openings. Several were killed in that manner. One boy killed eight or ten Indians with bis rifle, but was himself afterwards killed. We had to abandon the wagons, and from that time we had no provisions for forty-five days, until we were discovered by the troops. Four of the party were captured by tbe Indians; three of them were girls aud one boy. One of the girls was thirteen years old. Ido not know if they are alive or not; they were carried beyond Snake river. We traveled ninety miles from the place of massacre to where we were encamped when found, We were then subsisting ona dead body. The Indians at that place gave us some salmon for our clothes, We thougbt some of the [udians engaged in the massacre were ameng them. When we arrived at the place of massacre we found bones bung on the trees and written upon them a notice to the effect that a train was abead thirtcen days; that one of their men bad been killed that morning, and warned us of danger. Three of the children died of starvation. We made up our minds to kill one of the little boys next day for food, if not rescued! he is here now, The bones of the children who died were scattered about. one of the men was partly devoured; his wife partook of a portion. When Capt. Dent went into the little willow camp we had erected, the children bung on to him begging for food; ‘Bread,’ “Bread,” they cried. The soldiers threw themselves down and wept, and it was as mach as Capt. Dent could do to restrain them from giving food to us. We got alittle first, and in a short 06,020. ee dataaanal the actual result, 17,thigh, and was otherwise maimed and bruised in such @ general manner as to lay him up for some time. Dodge had his only eye destroyed, by a fine er of gravel, which piereed through the ball. He lost the sight of the other eye about a year ago, while chopping wood, a stick flying up and producing that unfortanate injury. This, we understand, is the fifth time that he has been blown up by premature explosion; but on none of the previous occasions did he sustain any serious personal damage. He is now receiving medical attention at the HalfWay House, between San Juan and Sebastopol. Mr. Harper lies at the Sierra Nevada Hotel, and is kindly cared for. Joun Suannoy,—The Folsom Telegraph, referring to the death of John Shannon, editor of the Visalia Delta, who was killed there a few days since by Wm. G. Morris, . says: “We were associated with Mr. Shannon, fora long time—first in the Calaveras Chronicle and subsequently in Visalia Delta. We found him a gentleman of great personal regard, not willing to brook aa insult, always first in the attack, and could be but have controlled his impetuous disposition, would have been a suecessful writer. We have oft-times eautioned him to this effect, koowing, while in Visalia, that no kindred feelings existed between himself and several parties then residents there. The same at Mokelumne Hill, but all to no purpose. He has paid the Inst debt—peace to his ashes.” Dearu or A Prusrer,—Oscar 0. Ball, . printer employed in the office of the Marysville Express, died in that city on the evening of November 2}et. In connection with Mr. MclIlvain, be established the Mountain Echo, at Downieville, in 1852, and after. wards published the Marysville Inquirer, He was a native of Alabama, and thirty years of age at the time of bis death, . Orrcox,—Oregon papers of the latest date received, state that Lineoln’s majority over Breckioridge, in that State, is 270. This isa larger majority, in propertion to the whole vote cast, than Lincoln has over Douglas in California, In 1850—23,196,368; the actual result, 23,191,876, In 1860—31,753,854. In 1870—42,338,432. In 1880—56,450, 241. In 1890—77,266,989. In 1900—100,355,892. In 1930—133,000,000 in round numbers. In 1950—177,000,000 in round numbers. In 1970—236,000,000 in round numbers. In 2000—283,000,000 in round numbers. Fourteen Hvunprep Derexpanrs.—The San Francisco Bulletio gives the following queer story: Some gentlemen in town, imagining that they had found a title that might be worth something to them, brougbt a euit to eject the possessors of the lot on which stands a Chinese Asylum in this city. The demur. rer set forth that the parties complained of were not the proper defendants, and the demurrer was sustained, The counsel for the plaintiffs sought defendants’ counsel, who kindly engaged tn assist him in getting the trae names of the defendants, but when they met it came out that the defendants were some 1,400 in number, and every one of them an Ak ora Qua. Barely to get the true names accurately copied would cost $200, and to serve each with the prop. er papers would swallow up a handsome pel ia The suit bas not again been heard rom, New Minine Distriet.—The Territorial Enterprise says that s company, consisting of Messrs, Wright, Pagh, Hawthorne Board . and Green, have discovered and located a. new mining district, situated between the East and West Walker river, and about. . northwest from the Esmeralda district. The . district has been named the Wright district, S. S. Hawthorne has been elected Recorder, . The rock obtained there is very similar to that found at Esmeralda. Preparations are . being made to work some of the leads im. mediately, . Goin Mixes tn Menpocino.—The Ukiah . Herald says that préparations are now be-. ing made to work the newly distovered gold mines, about four miles above Ukiah. About one hundred claims have already been taken up; but none Were much ‘worked Tast Season, in consequence i our — e of the water giving . time we were able to move around. We are all eaved now. Tux secession agitation in South Carolina has caused an immense run on the Charleston banks, and a special Dill bad been paseed by the Legislature, to protect them. If the government is in dauger of being broken up, itis oatural that people should be anxious to tura their effects into cash, A OE RR AN AA in A SEE ENR es td BAP EIN UMMONS.—State of California, County of Nevada, as, Township of Eureka, before J.

Bryant, County Physician of Sierra, it appears that the whole number of patients admitted into the Downieville-hospital during the past year waa eighty-five, and forty-two have been treated outside the hospital. Fifteen patients remained in the hospital at the close of the year. The gross expenses for the year was $6,185. In proportion to the number of patients treated, the cost of taking care of the indigent sick is about the same in Sierra county, ag it has been for the past two years in Nevada, In Sierra, the Supervisors employ a physician and steward, the former at a salary of $2,000, the latter at $1,500, and the food and other necessaries for the patients are purchased as required and paid for by the county. In Nevada the patients are taken care of by contract, the county furnishing the hospital building and paying one dollar a day for food, clothing, medical attendance, ete., for each patient. Neeno Riot at Vicronta.—A serious negro riot occurred in the Colonial Theater, at Victoria, on the night of November 3d. Twomegroes forced their way into the theater, by breaking down a door, and took their seats in the parquette, The whites attempted to put them out, when a party of negroes, armed with clabs, rushed in to the assistance of their fellows. A general fight ensued; the actors, in stage coutume, rushed into the parquette, to take part in the fight, and the ladies took refuge behind the scenes: A number of whites were knocked down by negroes, and one negro took a camphene Jamp from the foot-lights and threw it among thé audience; the compliment was returoed by @ white man, and a negro’s hair and clothes set on fire by the burning camphene, whleh, however, was soon extinguuished by one of hig friends. The riot was finally quelled by the police, who took the principal rioters into custody, and marched them off to.prison. On the morning of the 5th, the rioters were examined, and four negroes and two white men were held to bail in the sum of fifty dollars each, to appear for trial on the 7th, Tux Next Leaisiature,—The Sacramento Union, of yesterday, publishes a list of the members of the next Legislature, and their political proclivities as far as Known at present, From this it appears that of the thirty-five Senators, 19 are Douglas men, ll are Breckinridge, and 5 are Republicans. The Assembly is composed of 38 Douglas men, 22 Breckinridge men, 19 Republicans and one Bell-Everett man. There is some doubt as to the politics of two or three members; but the Douglas men have a clear majority in the Senate, and a large plurality in the Assembly, and those members who have not taken any decided position during the late political eanvass Will be likely to act with the strongest party in the Legislature, The Douglas men will control the organization of the Senate, and by adopting a conciliatory course, and with proper management, they Will be able to organize the Assembly, and elect a U.S, Senator. Surrerro iy Kaxsas,—aAll accounts concur that the people of Kansas, in consequence of the failure of the crops are suffering for the aetaal necessaries of life. Thaddeus Hyatt, ina letter to the President, asking a postponement of the land sales, says that thousands of once thrifty and prosperous citizens are now perishing of want, Winter is upon them; of clothing they are nearly bereft, and they have not food to last them through the cold season that is approaching. Of over one hundred thousand people upon Kansas soil six months ago, at least one-fourth have left, and of the remainder it is sate to say that forty thousand see nothing but exodus or starvation before them. Judging from the accounts published, the failure of the crops must have been universal throughout the Territory. AnotnHer Pony, with dates from St. Louis to the 14th inst., arrived at Fort Churchill this afternoon. We were unable to get a dispatch before going to press. Secessioy Movements.—The Pony Express, which arrived at Fort Churchill on the 22d, brings dates from St. Louis to November 12th, A violent secession agitation was going on in South Carolina and Georgia at latest dates, Senators Chestaut and Toombs bad resigned their seats in the U.S. Senate, and the Collector of the port of Charleston had also resigned. Bills had been introduced in the Legislatures of those States taxing artieles manufactured in Massacbusetts, and also te provide for confiscating the property of citizens of the States that voted for Lincoln, In Seutb Carolina, measures had been taken for a state Conventioa—the delegates to be elected on the 4th of December, and the Convention to} meet on the 17th, An wosuceeseful at anp Loss or Lire.—The S. F. He aiecor. ot Thursday last, tays : Last ight intelligence reached this city, by the scboouer Fanay Piper, that the brig J. 8. Cabot, Capt. Gage, during the heavy ale of the 15th instant, whilst at anchor at Mendocino, was capsized by the terrific violence of the wiad and proved a total loss. . Capt. Gage succeeded in swimming ashore; . all the rest, comprising the mate and six . hands, were drowned. Tbe mate and four hands, belonging to the schoouer Kalona, . volunteered their services to go to the rescue of the ill-fated crew of the capsized brig, but their boat was struck by a heavy . sea, Was swamped, and every one of there . humane and noble men perished in the mad . waters! Thus twelve beings were lost to . the world. he schooner Kaluna, shortly . expected in this port, will bring further and . full particulars of this melancholy disaster, The bark W. B. Scranton, which arrived The Late Massacre of Immigrants, A correspondent of the Portland Advertiser, writing from the Dalles, Nov. 12th, relates some incidents of painful interest in cqnneetion with the late massacre of Oregon immigrants, aud the sufferings of the survivors. The train was composed of fortytwo persons, a majority of whom were women and children, When they arrived at Fort Neuf, Col. Howe undertook to settle some difficulty among members of the train, which caused ill-feeliug, and to avenge his pique, Howe swore that the train should not bave an escort. He partially changed his mind, however, and gave them an escort for six days, which brought them just where danger was to be apprebended, and they were then abandoned to their fate: Tbe remainder of the tale ia given in the tempt was made to delay action for South-. 9+ San Francisco on Wednesday, reports language of one of the survivors: era co-operation, but the Legislature deci-. three successive gales ia the Straits of Fuca, .

Legislature, recommends the seizure of property or money belonging to the citizens of those States that refuse to vote according to the wishes of Georgia, and that all laws protecting the life, liberty and property of citizens of Northern States be repealed. He also recommends an appropriation of one million of dollars to place the army of Georgia on a war footing, and says the motto of the State should be to “stand to arms.” An immense mass meeting was held at Savannah on the evening of November 9th, at which resolutions were adopted not to submit to the election of Lincoln, and requesting the Legislature to calla Convention to determine a mode of redress, A dispatch from Mobile dated about the 11th or 12th inst., says that a plan for secession would be organized that week. The secession movements, as far as we have any accounts, seem to be confined to South Carolina, Georgia and Alabama, but if any serious attempt at disunion is made, doubting that gale. Tru. ov Carr axo Rupsus.—A special term of the U.S. Distriet Court, for Western Utab, bas been held at Carson City for . the trial of Carr and Rudsill, charged with . the marder of Cherry. The Coart convened on Monday last, by order of Judge Cradlebaugh, and a dispatch from Carson City dated Thursday the 22d gives the result of . the trial, as follows : . . The trial of Carr, accused of the murder . of Cherry, alias Tennesse, termivated last night. The jary were out about a balf hour and brought in a verdict of murder in the . ifirst degree. Judge Cradlebaugh passed sentence this morning. Carr is to be hung . on Friday, the 30th inst. The prisoner ap. peared very little affected. Rudsill, who turned State's evidence against Carr, was released, and left for parts unknown. It will be remembered that Radsill was arrested in this county, from whence he was taken back to Washoe. While in custody here he told an acquaintance that he less Mississippi and Florida will join the seceeding States. Buiastine Accipent.—The San Juan Press of this morning, gives the following particulars of the blasting accident at Manzanita Hill, already notiecd: About 10 o’clock on Friday morning, our informant, Henry Harper, and his eo-laborer, Richard Dodge, were about to complete the tamping for a blast, when the explosion pet They are entirely ignorant of what could have produced it, as they were using a plentiful quantity of water, and worked with even unusual care. Harper had the little finger of the right band blown off; also the thumb and two first fingers of the left hand, above the second joints, He . ® also received a severe wound on the left had no hand in the murder of Cherry, but that he knew all about it. IntEResTING SpecuLations.—In the year 1815, the late Elkanah Watson, as appears in“Men and Times of the Revolutivn,” made and published an estimate of the probable population of the United States for a long series of years. The actual result thus . far shows a singular approximation in the calculations, He calculated the population would be--In 1820— 9,625,734; the actual result 9,638,151. In 1330—12,833,645; the actual result, 12,as the indications were omnious, Oue lady expressed her belief that she would not go True for her; she was killed next morning, together with her husband and three children, This occurred two weeks after the soldiers left us. The Indians visited usevery day. We had four soldiers with us, but they were deserters and left us. One of them was killed in our presence, and another named Snyder took bis money and papers and is supposed to have made off with his companions. After they bad left the Indiana made arusb, and cutting the wagon covers, shot their arrows through the openings. Several were killed in that manner. One boy killed eight or ten Indians with bis rifle, but was himself afterwards killed. We had to abandon the wagons, and from that time we had no provisions for forty-five days, until we were discovered by the troops. Four of the party were captured by tbe Indians; three of them were girls aud one boy. One of the girls was thirteen years old. Ido not know if they are alive or not; they were carried beyond Snake river. We traveled ninety miles from the place of massacre to where we were encamped when found, We were then subsisting ona dead body. The Indians at that place gave us some salmon for our clothes, We thougbt some of the [udians engaged in the massacre were ameng them. When we arrived at the place of massacre we found bones bung on the trees and written upon them a notice to the effect that a train was abead thirtcen days; that one of their men bad been killed that morning, and warned us of danger. Three of the children died of starvation. We made up our minds to kill one of the little boys next day for food, if not rescued! he is here now, The bones of the children who died were scattered about. one of the men was partly devoured; his wife partook of a portion. When Capt. Dent went into the little willow camp we had erected, the children bung on to him begging for food; ‘Bread,’ “Bread,” they cried. The soldiers threw themselves down and wept, and it was as mach as Capt. Dent could do to restrain them from giving food to us. We got alittle first, and in a short 06,020. ee dataaanal the actual result, 17,thigh, and was otherwise maimed and bruised in such @ general manner as to lay him up for some time. Dodge had his only eye destroyed, by a fine er of gravel, which piereed through the ball. He lost the sight of the other eye about a year ago, while chopping wood, a stick flying up and producing that unfortanate injury. This, we understand, is the fifth time that he has been blown up by premature explosion; but on none of the previous occasions did he sustain any serious personal damage. He is now receiving medical attention at the HalfWay House, between San Juan and Sebastopol. Mr. Harper lies at the Sierra Nevada Hotel, and is kindly cared for. Joun Suannoy,—The Folsom Telegraph, referring to the death of John Shannon, editor of the Visalia Delta, who was killed there a few days since by Wm. G. Morris, . says: “We were associated with Mr. Shannon, fora long time—first in the Calaveras Chronicle and subsequently in Visalia Delta. We found him a gentleman of great personal regard, not willing to brook aa insult, always first in the attack, and could be but have controlled his impetuous disposition, would have been a suecessful writer. We have oft-times eautioned him to this effect, koowing, while in Visalia, that no kindred feelings existed between himself and several parties then residents there. The same at Mokelumne Hill, but all to no purpose. He has paid the Inst debt—peace to his ashes.”

Dearu or A Prusrer,—Oscar 0. Ball, . printer employed in the office of the Marysville Express, died in that city on the evening of November 2}et. In connection with Mr. MclIlvain, be established the Mountain Echo, at Downieville, in 1852, and after. wards published the Marysville Inquirer, He was a native of Alabama, and thirty years of age at the time of bis death, . Orrcox,—Oregon papers of the latest date received, state that Lineoln’s majority over Breckioridge, in that State, is 270. This isa larger majority, in propertion to the whole vote cast, than Lincoln has over Douglas in California, In 1850—23,196,368; the actual result, 23,191,876, In 1860—31,753,854. In 1870—42,338,432. In 1880—56,450, 241. In 1890—77,266,989. In 1900—100,355,892. In 1930—133,000,000 in round numbers. In 1950—177,000,000 in round numbers. In 1970—236,000,000 in round numbers. In 2000—283,000,000 in round numbers. Fourteen Hvunprep Derexpanrs.—The San Francisco Bulletio gives the following queer story: Some gentlemen in town, imagining that they had found a title that might be worth something to them, brougbt a euit to eject the possessors of the lot on which stands a Chinese Asylum in this city. The demur. rer set forth that the parties complained of were not the proper defendants, and the demurrer was sustained, The counsel for the plaintiffs sought defendants’ counsel, who kindly engaged tn assist him in getting the trae names of the defendants, but when they met it came out that the defendants were some 1,400 in number, and every one of them an Ak ora Qua. Barely to get the true names accurately copied would cost $200, and to serve each with the prop. er papers would swallow up a handsome pel ia The suit bas not again been heard rom, New Minine Distriet.—The Territorial Enterprise says that s company, consisting of Messrs, Wright, Pagh, Hawthorne Board . and Green, have discovered and located a. new mining district, situated between the East and West Walker river, and about. . northwest from the Esmeralda district. The . district has been named the Wright district, S. S. Hawthorne has been elected Recorder, . The rock obtained there is very similar to that found at Esmeralda. Preparations are . being made to work some of the leads im. mediately, . Goin Mixes tn Menpocino.—The Ukiah .

About one hundred claims have already been taken up; but none Were much ‘worked Tast Season, in consequence i our — e of the water giving . time we were able to move around. We are all eaved now. Tux secession agitation in South Carolina has caused an immense run on the Charleston banks, and a special Dill bad been paseed by the Legislature, to protect them.
