The Convention took dreas, or some such favored locality, brings) no position as to the abstract right of the peoforth a new brood of dramatic artists for the special benefit of Nevada. To this regular advent we are becoming resigned; it is all we can be. We would as soon think of changing the course of the comet as of this stage manager. Finances cannot get low enough to stop him. Curses are the meat on which he feeds, and the only meat which is not given grudgingly. At each return those who will pay a dollar can sec him represent upon the stage the new way to pay old debts; while those who credit him get a parting rehearsal of his old way of paying new debts. As would be expected such 4 manager can never command the service of suflicient talent to prevent tragedy becoming farce and farce tragedy. The little of ability connected with his troupe is stultified by the stupidity of the supes, and from the drop of the curtain to the fall of a king, some ridiculous blunder characterizes the entire performance. The rendition on Monday evening of a “Tale of Mantua’’ was replete with absurdities, and must have created in the audience a profound disgust for Mantua and all Italy. The only redeeming feature of the first three acts was an unlooked for descent of the curtain by which Antonio’s (Potter) eoliloquy was most ludicrously abreviated. Antonio bad just commenced a confidential talk with himself when the curtain came down just far enough to leave his digestive organs in focus before an admiring audience. The manager, however, effected acompromise; the curtain went up a little. Antonio stooped a great deal, and had resumed his soliloquy when down came the remorseless tag, and Antonio and the machine boy had the balance of their private matters to themselves. This sudden and complete eclipse of Antonio was as gratifying to the audience as it was unexpected, and partially reconciled them to their former affliction, while Miss Demming and Warwiek infused some life and spirit in the two remaining acts. The noticeable features of the farce which followed, were an unfortunate fracture in the manager's wardrobe, and the extraordinary location which he assigned to tho heart. The evolutions of the manager in completing his toilet and concealing his rents excited a lively interest in the audience, and although not mentioned in the programme, was the most edifying part of the evenings’s entertainment. A number of patrons of the Drama were congregated in the vicinity of the footlights, and recognized in the most flattering manner, and with enthusiastic applause, several gentlemen who presented themselves conapicuously in the house. Taken asa whole, the acting of Mr. Warwick and Miss Demming, considering their support, was creditable to themselves. Miss Demming was called out, . and appears to be a decided favorite. The balance of the company are scarce passable, and the management is most abominable. Tue Toap Eater.—In our last issue we no-. ticed the Sierra Citizen’s scurrilous attack upon Mr. Douglas, The Citizen recognizes our attention, and explains that it assumed the position of scavenger, not so much for the purpose of vilifying Mr. Douglas, as of catching some species of reptile. We have recognized in the editor of the Citizen, from the first, a complete specimen of the toad eater, but supposed that his masters and owners would furnish him all of that game he would require, and that, like his associates of the administration organs, he would only be expected to swallow the spawn of corrupted power. However, we are not surprised at Mr. Citizen, just for the variety ef the thing, hunting a little game on his own account. To a stomach that has at one gulp taken down Lecompton and the English Ordinanee, a toad, —— ordinary reptile must be o delicate morsel, “Horr ror THe AFriicrep.’’—A most interesting row is going on between some of our medical men. One of them was yesterday before the Justice, charged by a brother Esculapius with theft. If the fight can only become general among the fraternity we shall look for ahealthy season. In the language of the immortal Czankay, ‘Rejoice ye a fflicted.’’ Emrme Rancu.—Our reporter, who was among the unfortunate individuals that bet all their cash on “Soda Bill,’’ speaks in the most enthusiastic terms of the liberality of the proprictors of Empire Ranch, who furnished a number of the ‘‘skinned’’ hombres with free entertainment on their return from the race. A Curness Weppine.—Ah Chi and Soy Sung were yesterday joined in the holy bonds of wedlock, at the Court House, by Judge Caswell. The ceremony was witnessed by John Ayut, Jno. S. Lambert, Haugh Thompson, Jos. Roberts, and Geo. Lenhart. The certificate was duly regorded in the office of the County Recorder. Gensrovs.—We learn that Mr. Jas. Haworth, P resident of the California Stage Co., franked a number of the Nevada boys home who lost their money at the foot race on Saturday. Jupcr Howe t.-—It is stated that Judge Howell intends to resign bis position as Judge of the Eleventh District, composed of the counties of El Dorado, Yolo, and Placer. He contemplates visiting the East. Tux Alta Express Co. have our thanks for the regular delivery of exchanges during the past week. ple to exclude slavery from the Territories, nor was it proper that they should. The ques. tion was one of Constitutional law to be determined by the Supreme Court, and not by a par. ty Convention. Many have supposed that this question was decided in the Dred Scott case; but such we believe is not the fact. The question was not before the Supreme Court in the Dred Scott case, and whatever opinions some of the Judges may have expressed on the subject, they were extra-judicial and amount to nothing. Chief Justice Taney, itis true, held that neither Congress nora Territorial Legislature could exclude slavery from a Territory, but the ruling of the Court, which was concurred in by a majority of the Associate Justices, was made on a far different ground. Whenever the constitutionality of some Territorial act excluding slavery is called in question, and brought before the Supreme Court for adjudication, then, and not till then, can the question be properly decided. The question at best is of but trifling practical importance, and is one upon which Democrats have for years held different opinions, without any one presuming to call in question their Democracy. In arecent discussion at Freeport, Illinois, this question was propounded to Senator Douglas by his opponent, and the answer of Douglas has afforded a number of old line Federalists an opportunity to again read him out of the Democratic party. Mr. Douglas is reported to have said: The next question Mr. Lineoln propounded tome is: “Can the people of a Territory exclude slavery from their limits, by any fair means, before it comes into the Union asa State.’’ I answer emphatically, as Mr. Lincoln bas heard me answer a hundred times, on every stump in Illinois, that, in my opinion, the people of a Territory can, by lawful means, exclude slavery before it comes in as a State. Mr. Lincoln knew that I had given that answer over and over again. He heard me argue the Nebraska Bill on that principle, all over the State, in 1854-’55 and 756, and he has new no excuse to eee to have any doubt upon that subject. hatever the Supreme Court may hereafter decide, as to the abstract question of whether slavery may go in under the Constitution or not, the — of a Territory have the lawful means to admit it or exclude it, as they please; for the reason that slavery eannot exist a day er an hour anywhere unless supported by local police regulations, furnishing remedies and means of enforcing the right to hold slaves. Those local and police regulations can only be furnished by the local Legislature. If the people of the Territory are opposed to slavery, they will elect members to the Legislature who will adopt un— legislation to it. If they are for it, they will adopt the legislative measures friendly to slavery. Hence, no matter what may be the decision of the Supreme Court on that abstract question, still the right of the people to make it a slave Territory or a free Territory is perfect and complete under the Nebraska Bill. ] hope Mr. Lincoln will deem my answer satis. factory on this point. _ The speech from which the above is taken, was published in the Chicago Tribune, and the reporter was of course a bitter, and unecrupulous opponent of the Lllinois Senator, and we . have no assurance whatever that his words are reported correctly. But even if the above are his exact words, we can find but little in them to which objection can be made. It is undoubtedly true that the people of a Territory could make it practically free, if they were so disposed, even in case the Supreme Court should decide that they had no legal right to exclude slavery. In the absence of local legislation for the protection of slave property, the institution could not exist in a State or Territary, where any considerable number of the people were opposed toit. The Constitution of the United States affords no adequate protection to slave holders, nor can men be punished for tam. pering with slaves, except by local laws which the Territorial Legislature can enact or not as they see proper. And thus could the people of a Territory, by refusing to pass any laws on the subject, effectually and peaceably exclude slavery from their midst, without violating the Constitution, notwithstanding the abstract right might exist to hold slaves, The remarks imputed to Douglas in regard tow Territorial Legislature passing laws unfriendly to the institution of slavery, we are inglined to believe are incorrectly reported. In any case he could not have meant that the Legislature would have the right to enact and putin force unconstitutional laws, for such laws would be set aside by the Courts. The words imputed to him are liable to objection, but his meaning will be miseonstrued only by those who are determined te oppose and denounce him because he will not suffer himself to be made the tool of sectionalism. We are indebted to the proprietors of the of the Sacramento Union, for a pamphlet containing the opinions of the Supreme Court, at the July term, 1858. Besides the opinions, the pamphlet contains a complete digest of the authorities, which renders it convenient for reference to the legal fraternity, ELEcTION IN SACRAMENTO.—The Governor has issued a proclamation for a special election of a Senator of Sacramento county, to fill the vacancy occasioned by the death of W. I. Ferguson. The election takes place on the 6th of November, CaLaveras Curoniete.—This paper, published at Mokelumne Hill, comes A m4 this woek in an enlarged form, foot race between John Forbes, of Sutter, and “Soda Bill,” of Nevada, which has been the chief topie in sporting circles for some weeks past, came off at Zabriskie’s, near Marysville, about five o’clock in the afternoon of laat Saturday. Forbes won the race with ease, beating his antagonist over eight feet. The jstakes were $1000 a side, and the distance run was one hundred yards, The sporting men of Nevada bet their money freely on Soda Bill, who seemed to be the favorite until a short time before the race was run; but Forbes’ friends came in towards the last and quietly took up all the bets offered against their man. We should judge that not less than $10,000 was lost by the Nevada county men alone, on the result of this race. How 18 1r?—We notice by the Sacramento papers that commissions have been issued to the Judges elect in a number of the judicial districts, and among others to Judge Searls of the 14th district, their terms of office commencing on the first of January next. This is one of the districts in which there was a doubt as to whether a Judge should be elected, and according to the decision of the Supreme Court in the Controller case the election was clearly illegal, and Judge Searls would be entitled to hold his office only for the remainder of the term to . which he was elected in 1855. If the commission was legally issued tothe Judge elect of the 14th district, why is it that commissions were not also issued to the Judges elect of the 6th, 8th, 12th and 15th districts? aa See Larcest Reservoir IN THE State.—The Union Diteh Company have completed the survey of the largest reservoir in the State. Itis located . near the region of perpetual snow, on a tributary of the Stanislaus, and when filled, the water will cover fifteen hundred acres. The dam will be completed this fall, before the rains set in. The height of the dam is not given. The company design to save the water in this reservoir, until late in the summer, when it will be drawn upon, and by this means the Union Ditch will have a perpetual supply. The reservoir is situated in a dense forest of pine and fir, where but little water will be lost by evaporation. . InprAns IN SournerN Catrornrs.—The Indians in Southern California, according to the Los Angeles Star, number fully 15,000. They consist of the Diegninos, 2,500; San Luisenos, 2,500; Cahuillas, 5,000; Mohaves. 3,000; Yumas, 2,000, and the Serranas, besides the Co. copas Range on the south, and within the Los. Angeles district, and the Pah Utahs on the) northeast. Some of those are brave and warlike tribes, : Rariroap Iron.—Six hundred tons of railroad iron, designed for the Sacramento railroad extension, has been landed at San Francisco, and will be shipped to Sacramento immediately. As soon as the bridge at Folsom is completed, the work of laying down the rail will be commenc. Diep.—Hon. D. P. Talmage, formerly a member of the Legislature of California, from El Dorado county, died in the State of New York, recently, while on a visit to his native place. Rain.—Refreshing showers of rain occurred in different parts of the State during the first part of last week. GeRMAN Emigrants For Catirornia.—A German paper of New York announces that a company of emigrants is being formed on the Rhine and Moselle rivers, for the purpose of settling . in California, on Fremont’s Mariposa ranch. . It says: The company is to consist of 1,000 members, . each of whom is to take a share of $1,000, each . being divisible into ten parts, of $100, which may be sold to third persons, the holder of the $1,000 share being responsible for the full amonnt of his share, The company will oceupy itself chiefly with agriculture and mining, and will keep up a regular trade with Europe, shippiug the produce of their labor in a vessel of their own, which will first be employed in trausporting them to their new home. One-third of their eapital will be invested in the purchase of land; and another third will be . spent for buildings and tools, Institutions of general interest, such as schools, trading houses and manufacturing establishments, are provided for in the plan of the association. Great Cry ann Litrte Woor.—Under the . commercial head of our paper, this morning, will be found a statement of all the deposits of gold dust from Fraser river made in the San Francisco Mint. It appears that the first deposit was made in June; that the number of deposits made in that month was nineteen; in July, eight; in August seventeen, and in September, forty-six—the total amount of all the deposits being 3,582 ounces, worth $57,000. It is said —how truly, we do not know—that some considerable amount of Frazer river dust has been sent to England; but it is not likely that more has gone there than has come to San Francisco. While we are not ready to denounee the Fraser river mines as a humbug, we must say that, so ia has been ‘‘a great cry and little wool,”’ —Alta, KILLinG In Sonora.—On Saturday night, the 2d inst., a young man by the name of ToLane, an ostler, was met on the streets of Sonora, by aman named John Randolph, who knocked him down three t:mes. McLane was unarmed at the time, but managed somebow to secure a bowie knife, probably from the hands of some friend, when he struck Randolph in the stomach with the weapon, cutting open his bowels and killing him instantly. Randolph was keeper of a fandango house in Sonora. McLane has always had the reputation of being a very peaceable young man. Fatat Casvauty.—Col. Edgar Frazee, an old resident of the county, was instantly killed, at Goodyear’s Bar, on Saturday last, by the caving of a drift in which he was working. The Nip & Tuck Oo. had abandoned the diggings some time ago, and on renewing operations commenced new-timbering the tunnel. While eee ee Tax Foor Race at Zapriskiz’s.—The great Arrival of the Overland Mall. San Franersco, Oct. 10th, 1858. The overland mail, by the Southern route, arrived at San Francisco this morning. It brings ten days later news from the Eastern States.

A railroad train ran off a bridge on the Columbus railroad, Sept. 11th, and several persons killed and others injured. Mexico.—Genera! Vidaurri was about marching 10.000 men against the city of Mexico from San Luis. Some heavy battles had been fought and the Government troops were defeated. Anizona.—The correspondent of the Al/a says that Lieut. Mowry received nearly the whole vote of Arizona for delegate to Congress. Buastiné ExrertMents.—The San Juan Press says that several mining companies are trying, or about to try, the new experiment of blasting the banks of mining claims. The result ofa trial made last week by the Kentucky Co., at Manzanita, is thus given: They ran a straight drift into the bank for twenty feet, then another at a right angle to it for seven feet, and then another for a like distance in the same direction as the long drift. Into this last small apartment six kegs of powder, making one hucrdred and fifty peeeee: were put, and solidly packed with earth. The explosion of these cracked the bank for a distance of thirty feet back, and threw down into the open claim some ten or fifteen feet, crumbling it up thoroughly. A seeond blast, which was conducted in the same manner, threw down considerably more earth, and left the bank cracked about thirty feet further back. These two blasts, which cost about sixty-five dollars each, have afforded the company an abundant supply of dirt ever since, keeping their sluices runviog full constantly, whereas, under the usual system of piping, they were nearly empty for three fourths of the time. When it is considered that their water costs them $45 per day, the loss resulting from piping against abard cement bank three fourths of the time, in order to obtain dirt for the other fourth, can be easily estimated. The great advantage of the blasting process, then, is simply this, that it enables the miner to be washing a full run of dirt without intermission, and with the same quantity of water which he formerly employed to wash a much smaller amount. Of course this syetem of blasting is most advantageous where the banks are hardest. But there is no question of its great value to every hydraulic miner. FrigutruL SvgNE IN A Tueater.—A_ telegraphic dispatch to the Shasta Republican, dated Yreka, Oct. 8th, gives the following account of a frightful incident that occurred at Colton Theater on the evening of the 7th: The Alleghanians were performing in presence of a very large audience—most all the ladies of Yreka were present—when the concert had fairly commenced, and at the close of a very popular song, the stamping of the audience, shaking the floor of the stage, caused one of the camphene lamps to upset, and while one or two persons were endeavoring to smother the flames another lamp was upset. About this time the crowd made a rush for the stairs— several persons seized the carpet of the stage, with which to smother the flames, when most of the other lamps were upset. The flames now
loomed up (erriffically, and the screams of women and children were appalling. The jam at the stairway was suffocating, several of the ladies fainted, and it seemed that the whole stage was in a blaze. The terror and confusion that prevailed throughout the room at this instant cannot be comprehended only by those that have been placed in a like situation. Some jumped down from the front balustrade, some twelve or fourteen feet to the ground ; others jumped down stairs over the heads of the men and women ; some went head first. This morning we find but few persons that know how they got aown at all. But we are glad to say all got out of the theater without serious injuries. The only complaints we hear of so far are skinned shins, bruised heads and smashed corns, the loss of hats and caps among the men, aud mantillas, shawls, bonnets and unmentionables that require more space than was allowed at the moment among the women. The fire was extinguished in a short time, and all went home engaged at this work Frazee was completely covered up and crushed by the breaking of a timber, which let the dirt fall upon him. Col. F, was about 45 years of age; formerly resided at Columbus, Mississippi. Sierra Democrat. PotsonED.—Two persons left Drytown, Amador county, on Saturday, the 2d, ona hunting expedition, taking with them provisiuns, amon which was some buttered bread, covered with sugar. On eating the latter. one of the party was seized with spasms, and on returning to. the town from whence they started, it was as. certained that the sugar on the bread contained strychnine, By attention the party recovered, \ eee eee CoNFLAGRATION AT JAMESTOWN.—A bout nine o’clock on Wednesday night, the 6th inst., a fire broke outin Jamestown, Tuolumne county, which destroyed twenty-seven buildings, in the centre of the place, and involving py ots esti. mated at $100,000, minus the conclusion of the concert. Ture Goip Cror.or 1857.—The production of gold in Australia for the past year is set down by the best English authorities at one hundred millions of dollars. The production in other countries is estimated follows : California, $65,000,000; Russia and Siberia, $20,000.000; other parts of the world, $15,000,000. Total, $100,000,000. We thus have two hundred millions as the gold crop of 1857, and the actual amount is likely to be rather more than the estimated aggregate. At this rate, two thousand millions of gold will be thrown into the monetary circulation of the world during the next ten years.
