LITTLE. 860. ATURDAY EVENING, NOV. 3, 1 Look out for Roorbacks. We again caution our friends througbout the county to be on the look-out for roorbacks, which will, without doubt, be plentifally manufactured and circulated in the various precincts between now and election i day. The lying dispatches lately sent from : the East by the defaulter I. I, Stevens, chairman of the Breckinridge Committee, j¢ shows that we have unserupulous foes to deal with, who will not hesitate at the most bare-faced falsehoods in order to accemplish their ends, The Pony Express will be in to-morrow, for the last time previous to the election; it is quite likely that Senatoy Gwin will receive another dispatch from Stevens, of startling character, which will tarn out as false as those that were lately received through the same source. Place no reliance in reports circulated on clection day prejudicial to the prospects of our candidates, Horcuinas’ Magazine.—The November number of this periodical contains a variety of selcet reading—a large proportion of which relates to matters and things of peculiar interest to Californians, The Sketcha of Peg-Leg Smith, which are continued in this number, give evidence that the old mountaineer dictates the substance of the sketches. Like monntaineers generally, Peg-Leg is fond of telling big stories and making himself the hero; but some of the anecdotes related in the sketches ure 80 old that even Peg-Leg ought not to claim them as original, Discussion Deorinep,—We invite attention to the correspondence in another column, proposing a discussion of the political issues, The proposition of Mr. McConnell was called out ia view of the reports that have been circulated relative to the meeti : ing yesterday evening, at Rough & Ready. bis We hope there will be no more talk in this county about the Donglas men fearing to meet their opponents in fairdebate. Judge Searls is the acknowledged leader, and most efficient debater, of the Breckinridge party of the county. Travina.—The Breckinridgers are now endeavoring to elect Phil. Moore, their candidate for Senator, by trading a large number of votes on the Presidential ticket. We have iton the best authority, that offers have been made by Breckinridge men, to vote for either Douglas or Lincoln, in consideration ot an equal number of votes for Moore. We trust that no Douglas man in the county will make any such trade. The State fs certain for Douglas, and we can also elect our wholeeounty ticket if the :. party will stand by their colors, Farina Orr.—The total shipments of treasure for the past nine months, from this . State, amounted to $34,471,804, against $40,544,770 during the same period last year ; showing a falling off of $6,072,966. Sarina or THE Uncie Sam.—The mail . Hi Tharsday last. She took 160 passengers : and $1,188,072 in treasere. Wiruprawn.—The_ opposition line of steamers has been withdrawn. Orders to this effect were received from New York by the last Pony. ws Ett anal Vote the Straight Ticket. As this is the last number of the Nevapa Democrat that will be issaed before the election, we take this: occasion “to entreat every Democrat in the county to vote the straight ticket. Don’t scratch a single name. There are enough Democratic voters in the county to give Douglas a handsome majority, and to elect every candidate upon our county ticket. It is particularly essential that our entire Legislative ticket should be elected, for upon the political complexion of the next Legislature, depends the character of the man who is to represent this State for the next six yearsin the U.S.Senate, If the people of this county want to send a Senator from this State to represent the bigoted, uarrow-minded. sectional politics of Massachusetts or South Carolina, let them vote either for the Lincola or Breckinridge candidates, according their sectional preferences, But if they want a troly national Senator, one who will represent the interests of this coast, instead of taking sides and becoming an ally of one of the sectional parties of the east, then let them vote for the Democratic candidates upon the Douglas ticket for the Legislature. Sbould the Breckioridgers have a majority in the next Legislature, Gwin will be re-elected to the Senate, Individual candidates, if elected, may vote ugainst him in caueus; but he will be nominated if there are enough members of his party in the Legislature to elect him, and the members who oppose his nomination will be compelled to vote for him as the caucus nominee. The only way todefeat Gwin, is to vote against the candidates of his party for the Legislature, Fusion iy New York AND PENNSYLVANIA. —Political matters are so mixed up in New York and Pennsylvania, that itis almost impossible for a person on this side of the continent to keep the run of them, The attempts at fusion, however, appear to bave been only partially successful, and there is little hope that either of those States can be carried against Lincoln. The fasion ticket in New York, contains eighteen Douglas, ten Bell, and seven Breckinridge Electors ; but a portion of the Secessionists of that State still cling to the straight Breckinridge ticket, and the recent address of the Bolting State Committee will induce many Douglas men to vote against the Breckinridge Electors on the fusion ticket, Ia Pennsylvania, the fusion ticket contains twelve Douglas men, and fifteen for Breckinridge ; but the parties are so embittered against cach other that there can be no cordial union, and the chances are ten to one that both New York and Pennsylvania will go for Lincolo, There is, however, good reason to hope that both Ohio and Indiana will go Douglas, and. without these States Lincoln cannot be elected. Gen. Cass ror Dove.as.—Senator Gwin, in his stereotyped speech delivered at different places in the State, asserted that Gen Cass was for Breckinridge, The Detroit Free Press, published at the home of Gen. Cass, and the principal organ of the Michigan Democracy, says that Gen. Cass not only supports Douglas, but also advocated his nomination, Wasnox Parers.—The Territorial Enterprise, first published at Genoa, then at Car. son, hae lately been removed to Virginia City, where it will hereafter be issued. The material on which the Plemas Argus was formerly printed has been removed to Virginia City, for the purpose of starting another paper at that place, MeNbocino.—There are four eandidates for the Assembly in Mendocino county : T. M. Ames, Douglas; L. P. Storm and M. T. Baichtel, Breckinridge; D. W. Smith, Republican, The Breckinridge Convention adjourned without making a nomination, consequently, that party bas two eandidates in the field. New Mines.—Rich diggings have lately been discovered in Douglas county, Oregon. The Jacksonville Sentinel learns that the yield bas been ag high as $12 a day to the man, and the mines are believed to be extensive. Exrorts.—During the month of October, the exports from the port of San Francisco, other than treasure, amonated to $882,848 89, —_— Ww.

Hill were present at the Walliog Hotel, in Rough & Ready. It was anticipated that a discussion of political issues would be had between Col, Whiteside, (Breckiaridge) with gentlemen of the Douglas party. About seven o’clock in the evening, Col. Whiteside being absent, Dr. Henry Davis came to Mr. Dibble, and wished to know whether a discussion could be had. Mr. D. said yes, and stated the terms as follows : Judge Searls should open the discussion aod bave one hour anda half to speak in; Jno, R. McConnell should follow, in the same length of time; tbat C. W. Hill should follow McConnell and have three-quarters of an bour; that A.

To Niles Searls, Esq. JaMEs Bucuanan, says the Mariposa News, is the first President who has ever deserted the party that elected him, repudiated its acts, ignored its usages, and refused to support its nominees. There is sure to cumea day of reckoning, and bitter indeed will it be for him, and for all those who, at a time when every Democrat should be at his post, permit vindictive feelings and personal prejudices to lead them from that path which reason and patriotism point ont. When the prejudices and excitement of the contest are over, there will be few of the Breckioridgers who will not regret the evil hour in which they were deluded into the support of a sectional candidate, in opposition to the regular Democratic nomi© nees, But their day of sorrow will surely come, Io reply, I have.to say— : lst.

I cannot, in justice to myselfor others accede to the proposition for a discussion. ovember 3d 1860. Srors on THe Sun.—There are now more spots on the sua than have been visible before for many years; some of them are visible through a smoked glass tothe naked eye. The Scientific American says that several stars—some of them of great brilliancy, which, from their ascertained distance, must have beep as large as our sun— have totally disappeared from the sky; a the question bas been raised among astr omers, whether the light aod beaut of the sun are gradually fading away. As this would cause the destruction of all the plaats and animals on the earth, it is rather an interesting question. Itis stated that the eun’s light and beat are diminished by the dark spots, at the present time, about ove per cent. If the dark spots continue to increase in size and number, we may well begin to fear that our great luminary is in danger of being blotted out. Ni.es SeaRzs, Tue Disunioyists.—Senator Crittenden said recently, at Louisville, that every disunionist io the South that be knew of, supported Breckinridge and Lane. Hon, John MBotts, in a speech at Richmond, Virginia, on Oct. 1st., said that whilst be did not believe Mr, Breckisridge was a disunionist at heart, he was yet being used by a party aiming at precipitating the South into revolution. Mr. Botts further said, “the true seeret of this disanion movement is the revival of the African slave trade. Seveoty thousand persons in the Southern States would break up this Government of thirty millions, in order to buy up little negroes for their cotton and sugar plantations. He acquitted the mass of the (Breckinridge) party of any intention to revive the slave trade, but the Breckioridge leaders be charged, were directly guilty of efforts to break up this Government, for the purpose of aggrandizement, through a shameful and crimioa) trafic.” “After speaking of Bell and Everett, whom he supports, Mr. Botts said: “But my great anxiety is that Virginia may show no syinpathy with disuoion, aad if Virginia cannot vote for Bell, let them vote for Stephen A. Douglas.” Will not every man receive the warning in time, and by his action repudiate the disuoion party, whose existence is founded in an attempt to overthrow everything Democratic, wod whose real object is the dissolution of tle Union. SHootine at Virginia Ciry.—A dispatch from Virginia City, dated Nov. 2d, says: Aman named Elijah Poorman was shot and mortally wounded by A.J. Bayny, furni. ture dealer in this place, Jast night. Cause of difficulty, romers of improper intimacy between Bayny and Poorman’s wife. Sourm Carouina Lroisiatrure.—Every candidate for the new Legislature of South Carolina is made to pledge himself for dissolution, in case of Liucoln’s election, with+ out waiting for any overt act of aggression. MississirP1,—The late election ia Mivsissippi, for county officers, isclaimed as a triumph both by the Union mew and Brechinridgers. The Vicksburg Whig, (a Beil & Kverett paper, of October 10th, says: We have the most cheering: news from the result of the late county elections. In every instance where party lines aredrawn, the Union men triumphed. Democracy have been united in these county elections, and the result looks very much as if the Bell'and Everett mew have a majority over both eombined. In Atlanta, Tishomingo; Yazoo, Marshall, and other counties the secessionists have been signally put to rout, ’ : As two electoral tickets are being run by the Democrats for President—one for Doaglas and one for Breck!nridge—the probability is that the electoral vote of the State will be cast for Bell and Everett. Mississippi is one of the three or four States which the Breckinridgers have somé hopes of carrying. Tux stables of Dr. L. J, Czapkay, on Mission street, San Francisco, were destroyed by fire last Wednesday night. Gd) D.H.

Gwin 4 Disunionist.—A statement is going the rounds of the to the effect that Dr. Gwin says that the election of Lincolo is sufficient cause for the South to secede—or in other words to dissolve the Union. If he did say so he ought to have hie ears cropped, be branded on the forehead, and sent out of the State, and every other traitor should seffer like punishment. None but Disunioniste. utter such sentiments, and Califorhia is no place for them.
