Seera* mento City. —— NEVADA, WEDNESDAY, OCT. 4, 1857, ————————— Dyaust Susricions.—-Early on Friday morning, a8 soon as it was known that Frank Moore had poisoned himself, the curiosity of the crowd, assembled around the jail, was excited to find out how he procured the poison. It was known that the Sheriff and his assistants had taken every precaution to prevent the condemned man from taking his own life, and without waiting for an investigation of the facts, every conceivable surmise was put afloat to account for the mystery. The Rev. Mr. Dalton, the Catholic pastor of this place, had attended Moore as his spiritual adviser, and wae with him the most of the night previous to his death. Mr. Dalton is well known in this community as a high-minded, honorable gentleman, and would be the last to suspect of having furnished a criminal with the means of evading the full punishment of the law. By those who knew him he was above suspicion. Hints were thrown out, however, that Mr. Dalton supplied Moore with the poison, and as he had every opportunity of doing so, if he felt disposed, some believed it was actually furnished by him. This theory was kept alive and harped on by the ignorant and fanatical for an hour or two in the morning, but long before noon the fact was established beyond a reasonable doubt, that Moore had had the poison concealed about him for many days previous to that appointed for his execution, and Mr. Dalton was of course exonerated from all suspicion, Notwithstanding these facts had become so well known in the early part of the day, a telegraphic dispatch to the Sacramento Union, dated at ten o’clock on Friday night, stated that “it was thought the poison was furnished Moore by the priest.”” The dispatch was evidently designed to create the impression abroad, that the citizens of this place had settled upon Mr. Dalton, as the guilty party; and even had it been sent early in the morning, would have been manifestly unjust towards that gentleman, and becomes doubly so, from being sent at a late hour in the evening, when all tho facts had become known, Tue Wicarns Fami.y-—About five or six weeks ago & man named John Wiggins presented himself at our office, and represented that he had just crossed the plains; that he had been robbed of every thing he possessed, and his wife and child bad been killed by the Indians. He represented that he had a brother somewhere in California, and requested us to insert a notice asking for information in regard to him. At first we agreed todo so, but before our next paper was issued, he told so many contradictory _ and improbable stories that we came to the conclusion he was either an imposter or insane. A benevolent gentleman of this place paid his board for a week or two, and furnished him money to go to San Francisco in search of his brother, He told his sad story to the editors below, and represented to them that he was a brother of the unfortunate woman who was scalped by the Indians, and whose husband and children were killed. At length his brother was found—one Dr, William Wiggins, of San Juan, Monterey county—and in due’ time John presented himself at the residence of his brother William. By a note from the latter gentleman, published in the Bulletin, we learn that John was much pleased at meeting his brother, and manifested the deepest emotion ; but was afterwards much annoyed that William did not “cognise” him. The object of John in hunting up his relatives is to raise means to assiat his ‘sufferingmister at Carson Valley,’’ and if there are any more of the Wiggins family in the State, they may be*sure John will call on them as soon as he can find out their places of residence. Kansas Arvarrs.—Tho best evidence of the truly National policy of the Administration, in regard to Kansas, is that the President and Gov. Walker are denounced by the fanatics and sectionalists of both the North and the South. In the North every movement of Gov. Walker is construed by the “Union-Sliders” into an attempt to force slavery into the Territory against the wishes of a majority of the inhabitants, while in the South the same acts are held up by the Scctionalists as attempts to exclude their favorite institution, The malcontents of both sections may rave against the President, but the really national men, and in fact the great mass of the citizens of Union, are satisfied with his course and will sustain him, The contest now goimg on between the pro-slavery and antislavery men in Kansas, will shortly be settled by the voters of the Territory, and in that decision the sectionalists will be forced to aoquiesce. The defeated party may grumble and threaten, and denounce the President and his advisers, in coarse and bitter terms, but they will do nothing more. CLL LLCO AC Taw Attayric CapLe.—The San Francisco Herald says, the opinion is entertained, that the breaking of the Atlantic cable was the result of design, and not accident, as reported. This suspicion is founded upon the conclusion that the cable, at the rate it was being paid out, was much too short to reach across the ocean, and rather than declare their calculations illy made, and before losing too much of the cable, they allowed the “accident”? to happen. These susPicions would seem to be well founded ; for whether the breaking was accidental or not, the experiment showed the cable to be too short, and furnished the projectors with several other very useful hints, of which they will not fail to take advantage when they make another attempt, _ Massacru or Immicrants.—The account of the massacre of immigrants, who were coming through by the southern route, needs confirmation, but we greatly fear there is too mech truth in the report. Itis many years since we have had such a horrid butchery of immigrants to record, and for the sake of homanity it is to be hoped, that the particulara of this affair are greatly exagerated. 'Puaxxs,—Mr. J. W. Sullivan, of the San Fran“Suicide of Frank Moore, A large number of people came into town from ‘all parts of the county on Thursday evening. They all had important business to attend to, but the most of them designed staying on Friday to witness the execution of Moore. They were doomed, however, to a sad disappointment. The incorrigible criminal, having no inclination to gratify the curiosity of four or five thousand people, took a dose of strychnine about daylight on Friday morning, and died from its effects a few minutes after. A crowd soon collected around the jail, and as it was known that the Sheriff had taken every precaution to prevent him from obtaining the means of self-destruction, it was for some time a mystery as to how he had been able to conceal the fatal drug. The mystery was at length cleared up. A few nights previous Mrs. Moore had been allowed to visit her husband in bis cell, and remain with him for a day or two. On Monday she was told that she would not be permitted to go into his cell again, and Moore was then taken out, his clothing entirely changed, and he was put into another cell, which had previously been thoroughly searched. The chair and candlestick which he had been using were taken to his new quarters. After bis death Mrs. Moore informed the Sheriff where the poison had been concealed. Ou turning over the chair, a small wire dagger was found stuck to the bottom with candle grease, and the strychnine folded up in a paper had doubtless been concealed in the same manner, The dagger was about five inches long, made from wire taken out of a tin pan, and one end sharpened on the rocks of the celi. With it he could easily have opened an artery, which would have accomplished his purpose, had other means failed. Mrs. Moore says she did not furnish her husband with the poison; that it was given him by other parties, and had been in bis cell for some weeks, It is the belief of the officers, however, that she supplied him with the drug. Moore had not given up all hopes of escape until a few days previous to his death. In one of the cells a prisoner named Kelly has been confined for some time, awaiting his trial on a charge of grand larceny. It seems that Moore and Kelly had devised a plan to escape, and but for the thieving propensities of the latter, it is possible they might have succeeded. Kelly pretended to be sick, and was allowed to come out into the hall, where another prisoner was confined for contempt of Court, in refusing to pay a judgment when he had the money in his pocket, Some of the other prisoners told the officers that it was the intention of Kelly to kill one of the guard who had the keys to the cells. for the purpose of letting out all the prisoners that wished to leave. But little attention, however, was paid to this warning, as Kelly was really believed to be sick. He aseertained by some means that his fellow prisoner had money about him, and not being able to resist the temptation, appropriated it to his own use, The theft was discovered, and Kelly put back into his cell. He was then searched, and several saws for cutting iron, twe or three files, aud a bar of iron, found in his possession. With the latter weapon, it is supposed he designed killing one of the jailors, Moore then gave up all hopes of escaping from jail, and nerved himself to meet his fate. We have endeavored, but with partial success, to obtain a sketch of Moore’s career. We are indebted to Mr. Boring for the following particulars of his early life, which were gathered from casual conversations with him: His true name was Francis Van Moore. He was born in New York City, May 5th, 1826, His father was an American, of German descent, and his mother was a uative of France. When he was ‘two years old his parents removed to Louisville Kentucky, and afterwards to St.Louis. After remaiving in the latter city a year or two, they returned to Louisville. His father died when he was quite youvg, and at the age of twelve years he run away from home, went to New York, and from thence to Liverpool, From Liverpool he went a> France where he remained a year omm@wo, and then went to Frankfort-on-the-Main. He worked three years in Frankfort as an apprentice to a gunsmith, and returned to France. He was married in France at the age of nineteen, and two years after his wife died, leaving a son who is now living with Moore’s maternal uncle, Mr, Richard DeChamp, of New York City. He came to California, by the southern route, with Fremont, in 1848, and has resided in Nevada county the most of the time since. His career in this county, and the particulars of the shooting of McClanahan, for which he was convicted of murder, are too well known in this community to require a reference to them again. A Drvoeist Seine Porson.—An inquest was held a few days ago, in San Francisco, upon the body of Henry Jansen, who died under suspicion of poison, A vial had been found in the room of decease, marked “G. Leipnitz, Apothecary, Chemist and Druggist, 82 Kearny street, 10 drops, 3 times a day: The vial containeda tincture of aconite, which deceased was taking for rheumatism. Itwas shown on investigation that it required very little aconite to produce death ; that there were three or four preparationsin use, some much stronger than others. After examining witnesses, the Jury brought in a verdict that the ‘deceased came to his death from some cause or causes unknown to us, but that he had in his possession a vial of tincture of nearly double the strength of the United States standard, furnished him by G. Leipnitz, 82 Kearny street, and we would strongly reprobate the conduct of the druggist in selling medicine so widely different fromacknowledged standards. We find the name of deceased to be Henry Jansen, aged about 28, anda native of Emden, Hanover.” Nor Map.—A woman in San Francisco, named Margaret Wright, was examined receutly by Judge Freelon, to determine the question of her sanity. The Herald says she gave a very clear and distinct account of her past history, acknowledging that she was perhaps a “little flighty”’ at times, but never boisterous or unruly. She had been in Stockton on a previous charge of lunacy, and when Judge Freelon told her she could go, having concluded that she was then sane, she remarked that she had rather be sent to the penitentiary than again be pent up in the mad-house, where the lamites were enough to drive her mad were she ever g0 sane. Commastons Issorp—On Tuesday, the 6th inatant, commissions were issued te the Bune State officers elect. , ~ LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. Trt. or Davis.—Last week we gave a synopsis of the evidence for the prosecution in the case of Charles Davis, then on trial for murder, before the Distriet Court. One of the witnesses for the defense, on Wednesday, swore that Miller bad a pistol in his hand at the time Davis shot him; but thie point of his testimony was not well substantiated, for had it been the prisoner would doubtless have been acquitted. The case was given to the jury Wednesday evening, and not being able to agree on a verdict they were discharged, after being out about fortyeight hours. On retiring, five of the jurors were in favor of bringing in a verdict of murder in the second degree, and seven for acquittal, but afterwards they stood eleven for manslaughter and one for acquittal. The case was tried a second time on Monday and the evidence closed that day. We learn that the testimony was rather more favorable for the prisoner than on the first trial. The case was argued by the attorneys yesterday, and given to the jury at half past four, Pp. M. At six o’clock the jury came into court, having found the prisoner guilty of manslaughter. County Frxances.—In consequence of the low price at which county orders are selling, many of the articles purchased for the use of the county, cannot be had except a double price is paid. This is the principal cause of the great expenge necessary to carry of the county government. The following bill was banded in to the Board of Supervisors, the other day, which we publish for the double purpose of giving business men an elegant form for making out bills, and to show the necossity which the county is under @f paying two prices for articles purchased; “Nevada County Jail October 12 1847 Dr, to S. L**** for 7 Mattrasses good money at $2 each 14 00 scrip money $28 Arrempr ar Svicipe.—Mrs. Moore, the: widow of Frank More, attempted to commit suicide, in Grass Valley, on Monday, by taking a dose of strychnine. Some one discovered her whea she took the poision, and a physician was immediately sent for. She refused to take avy medicine, but her mouth was forced open with a serew-driver, and an emetic poured down her throvt. She was likely to recover at last accounts, but says they have had all their trouble for nothing, as she is determined to join her husband in heaven, Quartz Mitit.—We understand that arrangements have been made for the erection of a quartz mill near Willow Valley. There are many quartz leads in that section which are known to be rich, but the partics owning them have been compelled to haul the rock several miles to get it crushed, which of course took the most of the profits they might otherwise have obtained in working them, Some six or eight leads in the neighborhood have been opened and thoroughly prospected, and no doubt many others will yet be discovered, Quartz Yieip.—The rock which has been crushed at the American Hill mill, we learn, has been steadily improving in richness, The first rock crushed from their lead yielded $14 per ton, the next paid about $20, and every succeeding lot turned out more gold than that previously crushed. A quantity was crushed last week, which was cleaned up and assayed on Monday, that paid at the rate of $90 per ton, The lead of this company seems to improve as they go down. Courr ov Sxssions.—This court has been in session several days during the past week. The grand jury called last Wednesday, adjourned yesterday, having found several indictments. Their report will*be found in another column. Another grand jury bas been summoned, which meets to-day, to investigate Plnmer’s case. The indictments found will probably not be tried for a week or t' 9, as the District Court is now in session, and :re isonly one room in the court house suitabie for holding courts. To Tax Payprs.—We again call attention to the notice of the Sheriff in regard to the collection of taxes. Five per cent will be added to all taxes not paid by next Monday, and after that date the costs will increase so fast that taxpayers will fiud ita great saving to pay up immediately. All property, on which taxes are not paid, will be returned in the delinquent list, on Saturday, November 14th, and advertised for sale in one week thereafter. A Romor was started in this place last week, to the effect that two hundred armed men were coming down from Downieville for the purpose ofexecuting Butler, lust Friday, The story was doubtless put in circulation by some busybody. who was anxious to create an excitement, There was no foundation for the report. Surervisors,—The County Supervisors were in session yesterday and day before. The principal business transacted by the Board, was the examining and approving the bonds of the township officers, The Board adjourned yesterday evening to meet on the first Monday in November, Cirncus.—The Pioneer Circus will perform at this place on Saturday evening next. All the best performers in the State are now connected with this circus, and the prices are reduced to one half the former standard. APPOINTMENT,—At a meeting of the Board of Trustees, on Thursday evening last, Mr. J.C. Abbott was appointed to fill the vacancy in the Board, océasioned by the resignation of Mr. Kohlman. Remoyats.—Messrs. Alston, Newman & Co have removed their clothing store to the building formerly occupied by Gueria & Co., on Broad Street. The jewelry store of Chas. W. Young has been removed to the brick building, No. 45 Main Street, formerly occupied by Sol Kohlman. a CrusHep BY A Fiume Wuxen.—The Placer Herald, of Saturday last, says: At Horse Shoe Bar, one day last week, a man named Benjamin Bowman, whilst walking a log Jaid across a river flume, and just in frout of a large wheel, slipped off, and falling under the wheel was so badly crushed by the buckets that he died the same night. Mr. Bowman ws from the State of New York, The ion as any onether ay fell from the same under wheel, but passing safel between the buckets, was shot out of the pevnted well ducked and considerably frightened. Report of the Grand Jury. To the Honorable the Court of Sessions: This Grand Jury in concluding their labors, respectfully submit the following report: A protracted investigation of the late suicide case in the county jail, resulted in finding no itive evidence as to who might have furnished the prisoner Moore with the means of taking his own life, but at the same time leaves but one opionion on the minds of thie jury— that Moore obtained the poison through the agency of his wife, without any knowledge or connivance on the part of the officers in charge of the jail, and in spite of a commendable degree of vigilance on their part. This jury also desire in this connection, to! express their belief in the utter groundlessness . of the injurious rumors, which have been eirculated in regard to the Reverend Confessor who visited Moore in his cell on the night of his death . to administer the last rites of his religion. In view of some very valuable services ren. dered to the county aud State by one Thomas . Williams, now confined in jail on conviction for assault, which has come to the knowledge of this grand jury, and believing that his sentence was unusually severe, and that he is generally a well disposed man, this grand jury have, after proper deliberation, expressed a unanimour wish that the Court will intercede its authority and remit the unexpired portion of his sentence. An examination of the present condition of the county jail, shows the comfort of the prisoners well cared for, as far as in the power of the jailors. Some of the cells, however, appear uncomfortably damp—an evil that can only be remedied by a more complete system of drainage, which seems very desirable and necessary. Although the conduct of officers of the jail has been already approved, still an increase of vigilance on their part is recominended and urged, to guard against the possibility of outbreaks or conspiracies on the part of the prisoners there confined, E.

When the body was taken from the office, the jewelry was missing. The above facts baving become known, Wallace was at once arrested. In A Quanpary.—The Age informs us that a resident of Sacramento since 1850, recently returned to his former home, St. Louis, Mo, and found his wife (whom he had not corresponded with for four years) married to another man. All three appeared confused at the state of matters, neither gentleman wishing to give up the lady. YOUNG AMERiCA SALOON !! have this day purchased the entire interest of A.

Seera* mento City. —— NEVADA, WEDNESDAY, OCT. 4, 1857, ————————— Dyaust Susricions.—-Early on Friday morning, a8 soon as it was known that Frank Moore had poisoned himself, the curiosity of the crowd, assembled around the jail, was excited to find out how he procured the poison. It was known that the Sheriff and his assistants had taken every precaution to prevent the condemned man from taking his own life, and without waiting for an investigation of the facts, every conceivable surmise was put afloat to account for the mystery. The Rev. Mr. Dalton, the Catholic pastor of this place, had attended Moore as his spiritual adviser, and wae with him the most of the night previous to his death. Mr. Dalton is well known in this community as a high-minded, honorable gentleman, and would be the last to suspect of having furnished a criminal with the means of evading the full punishment of the law. By those who knew him he was above suspicion. Hints were thrown out, however, that Mr. Dalton supplied Moore with the poison, and as he had every opportunity of doing so, if he felt disposed, some believed it was actually furnished by him. This theory was kept alive and harped on by the ignorant and fanatical for an hour or two in the morning, but long before noon the fact was established beyond a reasonable doubt, that Moore had had the poison concealed about him for many days previous to that appointed for his execution, and Mr. Dalton was of course exonerated from all suspicion, Notwithstanding these facts had become so well known in the early part of the day, a telegraphic dispatch to the Sacramento Union, dated at ten o’clock on Friday night, stated that “it was thought the poison was furnished Moore by the priest.”” The dispatch was evidently designed to create the impression abroad, that the citizens of this place had settled upon Mr. Dalton, as the guilty party; and even had it been sent early in the morning, would have been manifestly unjust towards that gentleman, and becomes doubly so, from being sent at a late hour in the evening, when all tho facts had become known, Tue Wicarns Fami.y-—About five or six weeks ago & man named John Wiggins presented himself at our office, and represented that he had just crossed the plains; that he had been robbed of every thing he possessed, and his wife and child bad been killed by the Indians. He represented that he had a brother somewhere in California, and requested us to insert a notice asking for information in regard to him. At first we agreed todo so, but before our next paper was issued, he told so many contradictory _ and improbable stories that we came to the conclusion he was either an imposter or insane. A benevolent gentleman of this place paid his board for a week or two, and furnished him money to go to San Francisco in search of his brother, He told his sad story to the editors below, and represented to them that he was a brother of the unfortunate woman who was scalped by the Indians, and whose husband and children were killed. At length his brother was found—one Dr, William Wiggins, of San Juan, Monterey county—and in due’ time John presented himself at the residence of his brother William. By a note from the latter gentleman, published in the Bulletin, we learn that John was much pleased at meeting his brother, and manifested the deepest emotion ; but was afterwards much annoyed that William did not “cognise” him. The object of John in hunting up his relatives is to raise means to assiat his ‘sufferingmister at Carson Valley,’’ and if there are any more of the Wiggins family in the State, they may be*sure John will call on them as soon as he can find out their places of residence. Kansas Arvarrs.—Tho best evidence of the truly National policy of the Administration, in regard to Kansas, is that the President and Gov. Walker are denounced by the fanatics and sectionalists of both the North and the South. In the North every movement of Gov. Walker is construed by the “Union-Sliders” into an attempt to force slavery into the Territory against the wishes of a majority of the inhabitants, while in the South the same acts are held up by the Scctionalists as attempts to exclude their favorite institution, The malcontents of both sections may rave against the President, but the really national men, and in fact the great mass of the citizens of Union, are satisfied with his course and will sustain him, The contest now goimg on between the pro-slavery and antislavery men in Kansas, will shortly be settled by the voters of the Territory, and in that decision the sectionalists will be forced to aoquiesce. The defeated party may grumble and threaten, and denounce the President and his advisers, in coarse and bitter terms, but they will do nothing more. CLL LLCO AC Taw Attayric CapLe.—The San Francisco Herald says, the opinion is entertained, that the breaking of the Atlantic cable was the result of design, and not accident, as reported. This suspicion is founded upon the conclusion that the cable, at the rate it was being paid out, was much too short to reach across the ocean, and rather than declare their calculations illy made, and before losing too much of the cable, they allowed the “accident”? to happen. These susPicions would seem to be well founded ; for whether the breaking was accidental or not, the experiment showed the cable to be too short, and furnished the projectors with several other very useful hints, of which they will not fail to take advantage when they make another attempt, _ Massacru or Immicrants.—The account of the massacre of immigrants, who were coming through by the southern route, needs confirmation, but we greatly fear there is too mech truth in the report. Itis many years since we have had such a horrid butchery of immigrants to record, and for the sake of homanity it is to be hoped, that the particulara of this affair are greatly exagerated. 'Puaxxs,—Mr. J. W. Sullivan, of the San Fran“Suicide of Frank Moore, A large number of people came into town from ‘all parts of the county on Thursday evening. They all had important business to attend to, but the most of them designed staying on Friday to witness the execution of Moore. They were doomed, however, to a sad disappointment. The incorrigible criminal, having no inclination to gratify the curiosity of four or five thousand people, took a dose of strychnine about daylight on Friday morning, and died from its effects a few minutes after. A crowd soon collected around the jail, and as it was known that the Sheriff had taken every precaution to prevent him from obtaining the means of self-destruction, it was for some time a mystery as to how he had been able to conceal the fatal drug. The mystery was at length cleared up. A few nights previous Mrs. Moore had been allowed to visit her husband in bis cell, and remain with him for a day or two. On Monday she was told that she would not be permitted to go into his cell again, and Moore was then taken out, his clothing entirely changed, and he was put into another cell, which had previously been thoroughly searched. The chair and candlestick which he had been using were taken to his new quarters. After bis death Mrs. Moore informed the Sheriff where the poison had been concealed. Ou turning over the chair, a small wire dagger was found stuck to the bottom with candle grease, and the strychnine folded up in a paper had doubtless been concealed in the same manner, The dagger was about five inches long, made from wire taken out of a tin pan, and one end sharpened on the rocks of the celi. With it he could easily have opened an artery, which would have accomplished his purpose, had other means failed. Mrs. Moore says she did not furnish her husband with the poison; that it was given him by other parties, and had been in bis cell for some weeks, It is the belief of the officers, however, that she supplied him with the drug. Moore had not given up all hopes of escape until a few days previous to his death. In one of the cells a prisoner named Kelly has been confined for some time, awaiting his trial on a charge of grand larceny. It seems that Moore and Kelly had devised a plan to escape, and but for the thieving propensities of the latter, it is possible they might have succeeded. Kelly pretended to be sick, and was allowed to come out into the hall, where another prisoner was confined for contempt of Court, in refusing to pay a judgment when he had the money in his pocket, Some of the other prisoners told the officers that it was the intention of Kelly to kill one of the guard who had the keys to the cells. for the purpose of letting out all the prisoners that wished to leave. But little attention, however, was paid to this warning, as Kelly was really believed to be sick. He aseertained by some means that his fellow prisoner had money about him, and not being able to resist the temptation, appropriated it to his own use, The theft was discovered, and Kelly put back into his cell. He was then searched, and several saws for cutting iron, twe or three files, aud a bar of iron, found in his possession. With the latter weapon, it is supposed he designed killing one of the jailors, Moore then gave up all hopes of escaping from jail, and nerved himself to meet his fate. We have endeavored, but with partial success, to obtain a sketch of Moore’s career. We are indebted to Mr. Boring for the following particulars of his early life, which were gathered from casual conversations with him: His true name was Francis Van Moore. He was born in New York City, May 5th, 1826, His father was an American, of German descent, and his mother was a uative of France. When he was ‘two years old his parents removed to Louisville Kentucky, and afterwards to St.Louis. After remaiving in the latter city a year or two, they returned to Louisville. His father died when he was quite youvg, and at the age of twelve years he run away from home, went to New York, and from thence to Liverpool, From Liverpool he went a> France where he remained a year omm@wo, and then went to Frankfort-on-the-Main. He worked three years in Frankfort as an apprentice to a gunsmith, and returned to France. He was married in France at the age of nineteen, and two years after his wife died, leaving a son who is now living with Moore’s maternal uncle, Mr, Richard DeChamp, of New York City. He came to California, by the southern route, with Fremont, in 1848, and has resided in Nevada county the most of the time since. His career in this county, and the particulars of the shooting of McClanahan, for which he was convicted of murder, are too well known in this community to require a reference to them again. A Drvoeist Seine Porson.—An inquest was held a few days ago, in San Francisco, upon the body of Henry Jansen, who died under suspicion of poison, A vial had been found in the room of decease, marked “G. Leipnitz, Apothecary, Chemist and Druggist, 82 Kearny street, 10 drops, 3 times a day: The vial containeda tincture of aconite, which deceased was taking for rheumatism. Itwas shown on investigation that it required very little aconite to produce death ; that there were three or four preparationsin use, some much stronger than others. After examining witnesses, the Jury brought in a verdict that the ‘deceased came to his death from some cause or causes unknown to us, but that he had in his possession a vial of tincture of nearly double the strength of the United States standard, furnished him by G. Leipnitz, 82 Kearny street, and we would strongly reprobate the conduct of the druggist in selling medicine so widely different fromacknowledged standards. We find the name of deceased to be Henry Jansen, aged about 28, anda native of Emden, Hanover.” Nor Map.—A woman in San Francisco, named Margaret Wright, was examined receutly by Judge Freelon, to determine the question of her sanity. The Herald says she gave a very clear and distinct account of her past history, acknowledging that she was perhaps a “little flighty”’ at times, but never boisterous or unruly. She had been in Stockton on a previous charge of lunacy, and when Judge Freelon told her she could go, having concluded that she was then sane, she remarked that she had rather be sent to the penitentiary than again be pent up in the mad-house, where the lamites were enough to drive her mad were she ever g0 sane. Commastons Issorp—On Tuesday, the 6th inatant, commissions were issued te the Bune State officers elect. , ~ LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. Trt. or Davis.—Last week we gave a synopsis of the evidence for the prosecution in the case of Charles Davis, then on trial for murder, before the Distriet Court. One of the witnesses for the defense, on Wednesday, swore that Miller bad a pistol in his hand at the time Davis shot him; but thie point of his testimony was not well substantiated, for had it been the prisoner would doubtless have been acquitted. The case was given to the jury Wednesday evening, and not being able to agree on a verdict they were discharged, after being out about fortyeight hours. On retiring, five of the jurors were in favor of bringing in a verdict of murder in the second degree, and seven for acquittal, but afterwards they stood eleven for manslaughter and one for acquittal. The case was tried a second time on Monday and the evidence closed that day. We learn that the testimony was rather more favorable for the prisoner than on the first trial. The case was argued by the attorneys yesterday, and given to the jury at half past four, Pp. M. At six o’clock the jury came into court, having found the prisoner guilty of manslaughter. County Frxances.—In consequence of the low price at which county orders are selling, many of the articles purchased for the use of the county, cannot be had except a double price is paid. This is the principal cause of the great expenge necessary to carry of the county government. The following bill was banded in to the Board of Supervisors, the other day, which we publish for the double purpose of giving business men an elegant form for making out bills, and to show the necossity which the county is under @f paying two prices for articles purchased; “Nevada County Jail October 12 1847 Dr, to S. L**** for 7 Mattrasses good money at $2 each 14 00 scrip money $28 Arrempr ar Svicipe.—Mrs. Moore, the: widow of Frank More, attempted to commit suicide, in Grass Valley, on Monday, by taking a dose of strychnine. Some one discovered her whea she took the poision, and a physician was immediately sent for. She refused to take avy medicine, but her mouth was forced open with a serew-driver, and an emetic poured down her throvt. She was likely to recover at last accounts, but says they have had all their trouble for nothing, as she is determined to join her husband in heaven, Quartz Mitit.—We understand that arrangements have been made for the erection of a quartz mill near Willow Valley. There are many quartz leads in that section which are known to be rich, but the partics owning them have been compelled to haul the rock several miles to get it crushed, which of course took the most of the profits they might otherwise have obtained in working them, Some six or eight leads in the neighborhood have been opened and thoroughly prospected, and no doubt many others will yet be discovered, Quartz Yieip.—The rock which has been crushed at the American Hill mill, we learn, has been steadily improving in richness, The first rock crushed from their lead yielded $14 per ton, the next paid about $20, and every succeeding lot turned out more gold than that previously crushed. A quantity was crushed last week, which was cleaned up and assayed on Monday, that paid at the rate of $90 per ton, The lead of this company seems to improve as they go down. Courr ov Sxssions.—This court has been in session several days during the past week. The grand jury called last Wednesday, adjourned yesterday, having found several indictments. Their report will*be found in another column. Another grand jury bas been summoned, which meets to-day, to investigate Plnmer’s case. The indictments found will probably not be tried for a week or t' 9, as the District Court is now in session, and :re isonly one room in the court house suitabie for holding courts. To Tax Payprs.—We again call attention to the notice of the Sheriff in regard to the collection of taxes. Five per cent will be added to all taxes not paid by next Monday, and after that date the costs will increase so fast that taxpayers will fiud ita great saving to pay up immediately. All property, on which taxes are not paid, will be returned in the delinquent list, on Saturday, November 14th, and advertised for sale in one week thereafter. A Romor was started in this place last week, to the effect that two hundred armed men were coming down from Downieville for the purpose ofexecuting Butler, lust Friday, The story was doubtless put in circulation by some busybody. who was anxious to create an excitement, There was no foundation for the report. Surervisors,—The County Supervisors were in session yesterday and day before. The principal business transacted by the Board, was the examining and approving the bonds of the township officers, The Board adjourned yesterday evening to meet on the first Monday in November, Cirncus.—The Pioneer Circus will perform at this place on Saturday evening next. All the best performers in the State are now connected with this circus, and the prices are reduced to one half the former standard. APPOINTMENT,—At a meeting of the Board of Trustees, on Thursday evening last, Mr. J.C. Abbott was appointed to fill the vacancy in the Board, océasioned by the resignation of Mr. Kohlman. Remoyats.—Messrs. Alston, Newman & Co have removed their clothing store to the building formerly occupied by Gueria & Co., on Broad Street. The jewelry store of Chas. W. Young has been removed to the brick building, No. 45 Main Street, formerly occupied by Sol Kohlman. a CrusHep BY A Fiume Wuxen.—The Placer Herald, of Saturday last, says: At Horse Shoe Bar, one day last week, a man named Benjamin Bowman, whilst walking a log Jaid across a river flume, and just in frout of a large wheel, slipped off, and falling under the wheel was so badly crushed by the buckets that he died the same night. Mr. Bowman ws from the State of New York, The ion as any onether ay fell from the same under wheel, but passing safel between the buckets, was shot out of the pevnted well ducked and considerably frightened. Report of the Grand Jury. To the Honorable the Court of Sessions: This Grand Jury in concluding their labors, respectfully submit the following report: A protracted investigation of the late suicide case in the county jail, resulted in finding no itive evidence as to who might have furnished the prisoner Moore with the means of taking his own life, but at the same time leaves but one opionion on the minds of thie jury— that Moore obtained the poison through the agency of his wife, without any knowledge or connivance on the part of the officers in charge of the jail, and in spite of a commendable degree of vigilance on their part. This jury also desire in this connection, to! express their belief in the utter groundlessness . of the injurious rumors, which have been eirculated in regard to the Reverend Confessor who visited Moore in his cell on the night of his death . to administer the last rites of his religion. In view of some very valuable services ren. dered to the county aud State by one Thomas . Williams, now confined in jail on conviction for assault, which has come to the knowledge of this grand jury, and believing that his sentence was unusually severe, and that he is generally a well disposed man, this grand jury have, after proper deliberation, expressed a unanimour wish that the Court will intercede its authority and remit the unexpired portion of his sentence. An examination of the present condition of the county jail, shows the comfort of the prisoners well cared for, as far as in the power of the jailors. Some of the cells, however, appear uncomfortably damp—an evil that can only be remedied by a more complete system of drainage, which seems very desirable and necessary. Although the conduct of officers of the jail has been already approved, still an increase of vigilance on their part is recominended and urged, to guard against the possibility of outbreaks or conspiracies on the part of the prisoners there confined, E.
