Extract from a Specch of Hon. Horatio our, delivered f at Sprloahell, Mass., July 4th, 1856." In antagonism to the Democratic creed of lodifferent names has sought to build up a system of political meddling. Its purposes may have been good; its claims have been high-toned and 'exacting. Constantly defeated by the results of its erroneous principles, its instincts lead it to renew its attempts at power by new projects. It is as confident and as denunciary to-day, as when it sought to uphold national banks and high tariffs. It now claims the exclusive champienship of morals, religion and liberty, as it once did the guardianship of the finances and industry of the country. We deny that the meddling system of politics is favorable to morals, religion or liberty. History proves the contrary. It has ever been the bane of each. It has always furnished the pretexts of tyrants. The fires of bigotry, the iron rule of despots, the leaden weight of ignorance and degradation, came from pragmatical doctrines. Political meddling has done nothing for religion here. It has hung Quakers—it persecuted Roger Williams—it has driven pious women into exile—it has tried to uphold a theocracy in New England—it has divided the church of j our land—it has caused bitter sectional hate. . It has done no good. We need not go back into the past to show this—it is proved by the questions of the day. We have political meddling with morals in coercive temperance laws; political meddling with religion in Know Nothingism and divided churches; political meddling with rights of local legislation by the Republican party. They sprung from a common sentiment. he man of the South who supports Know Nothingism, upholds the spirit of bigotry which calls Republicanism into existence. — The man of foreign birth who aids in the attempt to disfranchise the emigrant to the west, will find that he is laboring to take away the right of citizenship from ee emigrant from the eastern world. He who interferes with those a thousand miles away, must not object to the intermeddling of his neighbors with his domestic or personal affairs. Those who fan the fires of fanaticism in any of its forms, will find their homes invaded by its flames. It is remarkable that the doctrine of local self-government is most bitterly assailed in some of the New England States, which owe their political power to this principle. Equal representation is given to each State in the Senate, the most important branch of the federal system, for it has not only the law making power in common with the House of Representafives, but also the power to confirm treaties, (which are superior to law,) and to restrain the Executive by rejecting oflicial appointments. The Senate holds in check every other department of government. If New England was asked to give up its disproportionate power in the Senate, it would point to the constitutional compact. Then let New England see that the compact is respected where it gives as well as where it takes. If it was urged that, with a population less than that of New York, New England has ten Senators and ten electoral votes beyond its proportionate share, and that the constitution should be amended to do away with this inequality, the answer would be be, that it was the wise policy of our constitution to uphold State sovereignties; that the organization of the Senate was designed to prevent interference with local affairs by the general government ; that representation by States was intended to keep alive the principles of local self-government. For these reasons the small States are allowed a disproportionate share of power in the Senate. Without these reasons, the disparity would be intolerable, But the power was given only for defensive, not for aggressive purposes. The disproportion of power becomes greater each year. Most of the new States have each of them land fit for cultivation equal to the aggregate of the six New England States. Many of them far excced that amount. Ina few years they will fill up with population, while your numbers will not increase. If a meddling policy is to prevail in our country, an undue share of power will not be allowed. Your remote and sequestered position, touching the rest of the Union only on the borders of New York, will lessen your influence. The principle of interference may be brought home to you, and in defence you will be compelled to urge the principles of local Jay L. Adams & Co,“ ba Lard; Flour. GROCERIES.

United States are “at peace.with all the world self-government and State rights, which has ever been the creed of the Democratic party. Yet, blind to these considerations the legislators of this State have been violent in their action against the principle of local sovereignty, which alone give it power, and most declamatory against the compromise of the constitution, which alone give it influence, for the whole number of the citizens is only equal to the annual inerease in the population of the United States. Fourrn or Juty at Me .Bourne.—The Melbourne Argus says the anniversary of Independence was celebrated by our American townsmen with even more than the accustomed eclat. About one hundred and twenty gentlemen sat down to a really sumptuous entertainment— every thing went off well, and the patriotism of the party overflowed in speeches as long and enthusiastic, and not more bombastic than usual. No freeman can contemplate the celebration by American citizens of the birthday of their nation without emotions of sympathy, or reflect on their wonderful national history without admiration, and sanguine anticipations. No one who knows the American residents in Melbourne, and has observed their energy and enterprise, is disposed to be critical in listening to or reading their speeches. He is inclined to admit that, for that day at least, that it is a peculiar excellence of America that its plains are broad; that its mountains pierce the sky; that itd rivers roll towards the sea, and that its shores are bounded by oceans; but when the President feels it his duty to announce that the and the rest of mankind,’’ it may be suspected that the reporters or the printers have been blundering. The apprehended interruption of the good understanding between the United Locator eS Me mera oa Pale and Brown Sherry, in wood and Glass, Old Madeira, in wood and Glass, Old Port, in wood and Glass, States and England gave especial interest to Friday’s celebration, and elicited more than attention of the citizens of Nevada and the surrounding country.

Our mode of doing business will be the same as heretofore One Price, and no Deviation, thereby saving of time to both purchaser and seller—in all cases the lowest price will be named at once.

WALL & BROTHER, Broad Street. September 16, 1856—tf. REVOLUTION IN Sonor s.—-We have private ad. vices from Sonora, Mexico, says ihe San Fran. cisco Globe of the 7th, to tlie «(fect that a battle was fought about the 6th of September, at the town of Ures, between Pesyneiro, at the head of two thousand men, and Gandara, with a force . of fifteen hundred. The latter was defeated with great loss. The western portion of the town was destroyed. Gandara retreated north. The town of Ures is situated about eight hun. dred leagues northwest from Hermosillo. Mounr Suasta AscenpepD By Labigs.—On Tuesday, September 16th, says the Yreka Union, the famous mountain, Shasta Butte, was ascended by ladies, where they celebrated the the admission of California into the Union, The ladies who performed this feat are Mrs. D., A. Lowry, of Scoot’s Valley, Mrs. Eddy, Mrs. Gage, Mrs. J. White, of Yreka, and Mrs. McLeod, of Sacramento River. They have accomplished that which, it was thought, up to 1854, from the representations of Fremont, to be an impossibility. In company with Capt. Pierce, Messrs. White, Stephens, Sperslin, Gage, Gordon and two others, they left the highest point of timber on the mountain at 6 o’clock in the morning, and arrived on the summit at 4 o’clock p.m. There they remained half an hour or more, and after planting the star spangled banner upon the highest pinnacle, commenced the descent, and arrived at the starting point at 10 o'clock at night. EnG@uanp AnD Mexico.—The Tait d’ Union, of Mexico, of the 4th of September, states that diplomatic relations between Mexico and Engthe Barron affair in Sonora. It will be recollected that Barron and Forbes, one of whom was the English Consul at Hermosillo, were arrested and expelled by the Mexican government, for interfering in the politics of the country. A minister plenipotentiary, it is said, will be sent to England, with all the documents and full power to arrange the matters in dispute. Meantime, the English subjects in Mexico are under the protection of the French Legation there. ViciaNnce ComMITTEE IN MobiLe.—-Two booksellers in Mobile, Alabama, Messrs, Strickland & Upson, have been compelled to Teave that State by a body of citizens organized into a vigilance committee. The offense with which tion books. As no law could reach them, the people “in their primary capacity,” for the time principle which actuated the citizens of Mobile appears to be the same as that which governed the vigilance committee of San Francisco, and admits of the same defense. Wonder what the Republican-Vigilance organs of Califorvia think of vigilanceism as administered in Mobile? Tvotumne Co. Democratic Nomrxations.— The San Joaquin Republican gives the following as the regular Democratic nominations in Tuolumne county: Senator—J. W. Mandeville, Assemblymen—G, W. Patrick, G. H.

A New Et Dorapo.—A correspondent of the New Orleaus 7rue Delia, writing from Santa Fe, New Mexico, August Ist. says: A captive woman some time ago was brought in from the Indian country, who stated that gold in large quantities was found in the country in which she was a captive for many years. A small party, numbering 28 persons, slarted for the land of gold, but the Indians met them and prevented them from going into their country. Since then another captive (a man) Tas returned, who corroborates the report, and says that gold can be picked up in large quantities upon the surface of the earth, A party has been made up, of sixty men, who start immediately for this El Dorado, and take with them the late captive, who assures them that the gold is plenty and found as reported, This Mexican has been captive fourteen years. The gold is found in » country about four hundred and fifty miles from Santa Fe. It is occupied by a tribe of Indians called Pinolinos, and Carisalinas, a portion of the numerous tribes of Apaches, I have no doubt of this rumor, as it comes direct tome. Should it turn out correct, you shall be informed of the matter authentically. Ca.cutta Trape.—Boston is the seat of the Calcutta trade, the chief imporiations from which have been linseed, saltpetre, hides, gunny bags, cloth, indigo and goat skins. The valand that of 1855 about the same. Calcutta furnishes this entire country with saltpetre, as it can be imported cheaper than it can be made here. When it is worth from fifteen to twenty cents a pound, the manufacturer can produce itin this country principally from nitrous caverns. The Dupont Company, Deleware, in their manufacture of powder, use about 100 tons, or 1200 bags, of saltpetre a month. Calcutta has population of 413,000, and the exports from that city amount to $60,000,000, Inthe year 1851 and °52, ships entered the port of Calcutta with an aggregaie burden of 325,553 tons, Wesster’s Lerrers,—It is announced on good authority, that the correspondence of Daniel Webster, edited by his son, Fletcher Webster, will be issued in October, in two volumes, by Messrs. Little & Brown, and to correspond with the rest of his works already published by the same house. The editor has had the advantage of the quiet mansion at Marshfield, of his fa. ther’s well chosen library, and of all necessary assistance in preparing these volumes, and they are looked for with much interest. But comever published; and the few familiar letters already given to the public, such as those to his farmer of Franklin, John Taylor, and that com. posed at Richmond, Virginia, on the morning, give striking evidence that he was not only . great in the Senate and in Court, but asa letter writer. Deatu of AN InptAN Curer.—The body of . “William John,” second chief of the Six Nations . was found in the Welland Canal, near the Mo-. hawk village, on Sunday morning, Aug. 17th. The deceased had probably attempted to cross a wire bridge, during the night, and been precipitated into the water. The fact which makes this incident noticeable is, that “William John’’ was a grandson of the noted Captain Brant, and . one of the last, if not the last, member of that remarkable family. Returnine.—From a private letter to a gentleman in this city, we learn that Mrs. Sinclair . and M’lle. Duret were on their way back from Australia to this place. Theatricals and amusements of every nature were reported to be very land have been suspended, in consequence of they were charged was the circulating of abolibeing set aside the “forms of law’’ and administered what they conceived to be “justice.” The . ue of the importations for 1854 was,$7,810,674, . paratively few of Mr. Webster’s letters were . WHOLE NO. 158. VARIETIES: PEACE SENTIMENTS IN EnGLanp.—A very in+ teresting correspondence has passed, so it is said, between several members of the British Parliament and Mr. Dallas. A letter of congratulation, bearing the signatures of some fifty or more members of Parliament, on the satisfactory settlement of the enlistment difficulties béetween England and the United States, was most unexpectedly received by Mr, Dallas, some short time before the sailing of the Baltic. He, however, mentions the circumstance in a postscript to a private letter, and rejoices at the probable immediate settlement of all misunderstandings between the two countries. Drovrs 1x Kentucky.—The drouth has fallen with great severity in Kentucky, but in the southern portion of the State its effects are terrible. The Hopkinsville Patriot of late date says: The drouth is doing a fatal work in this sec. tion of the State, and farmers begin to fear a recurrence of the season of 1854. ‘Late corn is worth nothing at all, tobacco is little better, and everything like pasturage is literally burning up. Corn is now selling at $1 50 per barrel in Logan, and will be much higher still. Corron tN San Joaquin County.—The capacity of the soil of San Joaquin county for the cultivation of cotton, has been successfully tested at Two Mile Bar, on the Stanislaus river. Dr. Robinson, during the past season, has planted . and cultivated a few stalks of cotton in his gar den, simply as a test; the result was all that lie could desire, clearly showing that the Stanislaus: river valley is well adapted to the successful cultivation of this eminently staple article of Southern Atlantic commerce,—<Argus. Tur Leacve or Tyrants.—There is a rumor that the despotic Governments of Italy are fraternizing, under the support of Austria, for mu~ tual protection against the interference of the West. “It requires no effort of imagination,” says the London Morning Star, “to believe such a combination possible, after so many threats from France and England. Florence, Naples, Rome and Modena are the Governments supposed to be confederating.”’ Mr. Denver.—The Washington Star says:— ‘We understand that Mr. Denver, the efficient and popular representative in Congress from California, remains in this city during the recess to expedite the closing up the California war bonds business with the government. As thousands in and out of his State are interested in the speedy settlement of this vexatious business,. . this will be good news for them. . Fienr with Pmates.—A. desperate engagement has occurred between the crew of a Prussian ship of war and the Algerine pirates, on the coast of Morocco. Eight of. the former were killed and twenty wounded, Prince Adel~ bert was also wounded. ‘The incident has re~ vived the talk of a European expedition against the pirates on that coast. Marentan Procress or Texas.—Of all the slave States in the Union, Texas appears to be the most rapidly progressing. The average vaiue of assessed land is now $1.28; in 1852, it was 87e. The total value of land assessed in 1852 was $33,000,000; now, it is $58,000,000. Of negroes, $28,000,000; now, 53,000,000. Of horses and cattle, $8,000,000; now, $17,000,000. Enp or tHE Wortp.—A gentleman named Slavell, who isa follower of Miller, has just issued an epistle to the hopeful few who are awaiting with exemplary patience for the end of all things. informing them that the affairs of this world are all to be settled at a period no farther distant than the thirteenth of the pre. sent month, Roppery AND Mcrper.—A miner living near Evansville, Butte county, was murdered on Sat. urday night, Oct. 5th, in his cabin, which was . also robbed of all the money it contained. On . the following day a large party of men started . out in pursuit of the murderes, but the result of their search is not yet known. A Fixe OveninG For A Nice YounG SwINDLER—A juvenile spendthrift, who had spent all his money, and more than that, had covered him~self with bills and dishonor, upon being asked . what he should do,, coolly made answer: ‘I have but two remedies left me—either to go to California or else get into Congress,” Pourrican Cuance.— It is announced in the Bay papers that Judge Shattuck, of the Supert. or Court of San Francisco, formerly a Whig, 'and more recently a member of the American party, has joined the Democracy. On Monday . night, Oct. 6th, he addressed the Democratic . Keystone Club of that city, . * Goop Apvice.—Some burglars entered a . house on Dupont street, San Francisco, on Sun. day night, Oct. 5th, through an unlocked door. . After riffing it of some $500 worth of silver, . they wrote on the door: ‘Please keep your doors . locked hereafter.”’ . AnotneR Pionzer Gone.—Capt. Walters, a . resident of Monterey, died in that place on the . 30th ult. He was an old sea captain on the . Pacific, having been on this coast since 1820. . His age was about 65 years; twenty of whieh . he had spent in California. . . Connecticut.—aA. letter from Connecticut to . the N. Y. Journal of Commerce says: ‘Fhe . Democrats are gaining strength rapidly in old . Connecticut. You may safely set us down for . five thousand majority for Buck and Breck, in . the coming clection.”’ Cuances.—In Newburyport, Mass., but 62 persons have continued in uninterrupted business, out of 143 who advertised in the Newburyport Directory of 1849. All the others, in seven years, have died, failed, or left town. ALL ror A Bonnet.—It is said that a young lady lately committed suicide, in the 17th ward, Philadeldhia, because her mother refused to buy her a new bonnet. Weattu or Bosron.—The Assessors’ returns . of the wealth of Boston, for the present year, will show an aggregate property of nearly three hundred millions of dollars, Lovis Napotzon is reported to be in failing health. He has been ordered by his physicians . to leave Paris and give up all business and excitement. Mrs. Junta Dean Hayne.—Mrs. Hayne will commence her re-engagement at the Metropoli. tan theater, San Francisco, on the 20th October. San Francisco Miyt.—The expenses of the . San Francisco Branch Mint are put down at . $277,300, in the general appropriation.ill. Tue Pacific Sentinel says, that the ancient people in its vicinity feel it in their old bones, that we are about to have a very wet winter season. We hope the bones of the veteran’s don’t deceive them. THE GRAPE Crop in the southern portion of the State is said to be more abundant this season than in any previous one. The Senator on her last trip brought up 4000 boxes. Low Prices or Ligor.—We understand that nearly all the drinking saloons in San Francisdull there. Mrs, Sinclair had played a short engagement in Sydney, where she produced the “Marble Heart’’ with tolerable success. M'Ile. Duret was unable to effect an engagement at anything like reasonable terms—S. ¥. Herald. co have reduced the prices of liquor to a bita drink.

Extract from a Specch of Hon. Horatio our, delivered f at Sprloahell, Mass., July 4th, 1856." In antagonism to the Democratic creed of lodifferent names has sought to build up a system of political meddling. Its purposes may have been good; its claims have been high-toned and 'exacting. Constantly defeated by the results of its erroneous principles, its instincts lead it to renew its attempts at power by new projects. It is as confident and as denunciary to-day, as when it sought to uphold national banks and high tariffs. It now claims the exclusive champienship of morals, religion and liberty, as it once did the guardianship of the finances and industry of the country. We deny that the meddling system of politics is favorable to morals, religion or liberty. History proves the contrary. It has ever been the bane of each. It has always furnished the pretexts of tyrants. The fires of bigotry, the iron rule of despots, the leaden weight of ignorance and degradation, came from pragmatical doctrines. Political meddling has done nothing for religion here. It has hung Quakers—it persecuted Roger Williams—it has driven pious women into exile—it has tried to uphold a theocracy in New England—it has divided the church of j our land—it has caused bitter sectional hate. . It has done no good. We need not go back into the past to show this—it is proved by the questions of the day. We have political meddling with morals in coercive temperance laws; political meddling with religion in Know Nothingism and divided churches; political meddling with rights of local legislation by the Republican party. They sprung from a common sentiment. he man of the South who supports Know Nothingism, upholds the spirit of bigotry

which calls Republicanism into existence. — The man of foreign birth who aids in the attempt to disfranchise the emigrant to the west, will find that he is laboring to take away the right of citizenship from ee emigrant from the eastern world. He who interferes with those a thousand miles away, must not object to the intermeddling of his neighbors with his domestic or personal affairs. Those who fan the fires of fanaticism in any of its forms, will find their homes invaded by its flames. It is remarkable that the doctrine of local self-government is most bitterly assailed in some of the New England States, which owe their political power to this principle. Equal representation is given to each State in the Senate, the most important branch of the federal system, for it has not only the law making power in common with the House of Representafives, but also the power to confirm treaties, (which are superior to law,) and to restrain the Executive by rejecting oflicial appointments. The Senate holds in check every other department of government. If New England was asked to give up its disproportionate power in the Senate, it would point to the constitutional compact. Then let New England see that the compact is respected where it gives as well as where it takes. If it was urged that, with a population less than that of New York, New England has ten Senators and ten electoral votes beyond its proportionate share, and that the constitution should be amended to do away with this inequality, the answer would be be, that it was the wise policy of our constitution to uphold State sovereignties; that the organization of the Senate was designed to prevent interference with local affairs by the general government ; that representation by States was intended to keep alive the principles of local self-government. For these reasons the small States are allowed a disproportionate share of power in the Senate. Without these reasons, the disparity would be intolerable, But the power was given only for defensive, not for aggressive purposes. The disproportion of power becomes greater each year. Most of the new States have each of them land fit for cultivation equal to the aggregate of the six New England States. Many of them far excced that amount. Ina few years they will fill up with population, while your numbers will not increase. If a meddling policy is to prevail in our country, an undue share of power will not be allowed. Your remote and sequestered position, touching the rest of the Union only on the borders of New York, will lessen your influence. The principle of interference may be brought home to you, and in defence you will be compelled to urge the principles of local Jay L. Adams & Co,“ ba Lard; Flour. GROCERIES.

United States are “at peace.with all the world self-government and State rights, which has ever been the creed of the Democratic party. Yet, blind to these considerations the legislators of this State have been violent in their action against the principle of local sovereignty, which alone give it power, and most declamatory against the compromise of the constitution, which alone give it influence, for the whole number of the citizens is only equal to the annual inerease in the population of the United States. Fourrn or Juty at Me .Bourne.—The Melbourne Argus says the anniversary of Independence was celebrated by our American townsmen with even more than the accustomed eclat. About one hundred and twenty gentlemen sat down to a really sumptuous entertainment— every thing went off well, and the patriotism of the party overflowed in speeches as long and enthusiastic, and not more bombastic than usual. No freeman can contemplate the celebration by American citizens of the birthday of their nation without emotions of sympathy, or reflect on their wonderful national history without admiration, and sanguine anticipations. No one who knows the American residents in Melbourne, and has observed their energy and enterprise, is disposed to be critical in listening to or reading their speeches. He is inclined to admit that, for that day at least, that it is a peculiar excellence of America that its plains are broad; that its mountains pierce the sky; that itd rivers roll towards the sea, and that its shores are bounded by oceans; but when the President feels it his duty to announce that the and the rest of mankind,’’ it may be suspected that the reporters or the printers have been blundering. The apprehended interruption of the good understanding between the United Locator eS Me mera oa Pale and Brown Sherry, in wood and Glass, Old Madeira, in wood and Glass, Old Port, in wood and Glass, States and England gave especial interest to Friday’s celebration, and elicited more than attention of the citizens of Nevada and the surrounding country.

WALL & BROTHER, Broad Street. September 16, 1856—tf. REVOLUTION IN Sonor s.—-We have private ad. vices from Sonora, Mexico, says ihe San Fran. cisco Globe of the 7th, to tlie «(fect that a battle was fought about the 6th of September, at the town of Ures, between Pesyneiro, at the head of two thousand men, and Gandara, with a force . of fifteen hundred. The latter was defeated with great loss. The western portion of the town was destroyed. Gandara retreated north. The town of Ures is situated about eight hun. dred leagues northwest from Hermosillo. Mounr Suasta AscenpepD By Labigs.—On Tuesday, September 16th, says the Yreka Union, the famous mountain, Shasta Butte, was ascended by ladies, where they celebrated the the admission of California into the Union, The ladies who performed this feat are Mrs. D., A. Lowry, of Scoot’s Valley, Mrs. Eddy, Mrs. Gage, Mrs. J. White, of Yreka, and Mrs. McLeod, of Sacramento River. They have accomplished that which, it was thought, up to 1854, from the representations of Fremont, to be an impossibility. In company with Capt. Pierce, Messrs. White, Stephens, Sperslin, Gage, Gordon and two others, they left the highest point of timber on the mountain at 6 o’clock in the morning, and arrived on the summit at 4 o’clock p.m. There they remained half an hour or more, and after planting the star spangled banner upon the highest pinnacle, commenced the descent, and arrived at the starting point at 10 o'clock at night. EnG@uanp AnD Mexico.—The Tait d’ Union, of Mexico, of the 4th of September, states that diplomatic relations between Mexico and Engthe Barron affair in Sonora. It will be recollected that Barron and Forbes, one of whom was the English Consul at Hermosillo, were arrested and expelled by the Mexican government, for interfering in the politics of the country. A minister plenipotentiary, it is said, will be sent to England, with all the documents and full power to arrange the matters in dispute. Meantime, the English subjects in Mexico are under the protection of the French Legation there. ViciaNnce ComMITTEE IN MobiLe.—-Two booksellers in Mobile, Alabama, Messrs, Strickland & Upson, have been compelled to Teave that State by a body of citizens organized into a vigilance committee. The offense with which tion books. As no law could reach them, the people “in their primary capacity,” for the time principle which actuated the citizens of Mobile appears to be the same as that which governed the vigilance committee of San Francisco, and admits of the same defense. Wonder what the Republican-Vigilance organs of Califorvia think of vigilanceism as administered in Mobile? Tvotumne Co. Democratic Nomrxations.— The San Joaquin Republican gives the following as the regular Democratic nominations in Tuolumne county: Senator—J. W. Mandeville, Assemblymen—G, W. Patrick, G. H. Rodgers, John R. Underwood, Caleb Gilman. County Judge—Thomas 8. Jones, County Recorder—Geo. Sickel, Supervisors—B. M. Henry, Wm. Dow, Steven D. Streeter, KR. H. Robinson, G. C. Webster. A New Et Dorapo.—A correspondent of the New Orleaus 7rue Delia, writing from Santa Fe, New Mexico, August Ist. says: A captive woman some time ago was brought in from the Indian country, who stated that gold in large quantities was found in the country in which she was a captive for many years. A small party, numbering 28 persons, slarted for the land of gold, but the Indians met them and prevented them from going into their country. Since then another captive (a man) Tas returned, who corroborates the report, and says that gold can be picked up in large quantities upon the surface of the earth, A party has been made up, of sixty men, who start immediately for this El Dorado, and take with them the late captive, who assures them that the gold is plenty and found as reported, This Mexican has been captive fourteen years. The gold is found in » country about four hundred and fifty miles from Santa Fe. It is occupied by a tribe of Indians called Pinolinos, and Carisalinas, a portion of the numerous tribes of Apaches, I have no doubt of this rumor, as it comes direct tome. Should it turn out correct, you shall be informed of the matter authentically. Ca.cutta Trape.—Boston is the seat of the Calcutta trade, the chief imporiations from which have been linseed, saltpetre, hides, gunny bags, cloth, indigo and goat skins. The valand that of 1855 about the same. Calcutta furnishes this entire country with saltpetre, as it can be imported cheaper than it can be made here. When it is worth from fifteen to twenty cents a pound, the manufacturer can produce itin this country principally from nitrous caverns. The Dupont Company, Deleware, in their manufacture of powder, use about 100 tons, or 1200 bags, of saltpetre a month. Calcutta has population of 413,000, and the exports from that city amount to $60,000,000, Inthe year 1851 and °52, ships entered the port of Calcutta with an aggregaie burden of 325,553 tons, Wesster’s Lerrers,—It is announced on good authority, that the correspondence of Daniel Webster, edited by his son, Fletcher Webster, will be issued in October, in two volumes, by Messrs. Little & Brown, and to correspond with the rest of his works already published by the same house. The editor has had the advantage of the quiet mansion at Marshfield, of his fa. ther’s well chosen library, and of all necessary assistance in preparing these volumes, and they are looked for with much interest. But comever published; and the few familiar letters already given to the public, such as those to his farmer of Franklin, John Taylor, and that com. posed at Richmond, Virginia, on the morning, give striking evidence that he was not only . great in the Senate and in Court, but asa letter writer. Deatu of AN InptAN Curer.—The body of . “William John,” second chief of the Six Nations . was found in the Welland Canal, near the Mo-. hawk village, on Sunday morning, Aug. 17th. The deceased had probably attempted to cross a wire bridge, during the night, and been precipitated into the water. The fact which makes this incident noticeable is, that “William John’’ was a grandson of the noted Captain Brant, and . one of the last, if not the last, member of that remarkable family. Returnine.—From a private letter to a gentleman in this city, we learn that Mrs. Sinclair . and M’lle. Duret were on their way back from Australia to this place. Theatricals and amusements of every nature were reported to be very land have been suspended, in consequence of they were charged was the circulating of abolibeing set aside the “forms of law’’ and administered what they conceived to be “justice.” The . ue of the importations for 1854 was,$7,810,674, . paratively few of Mr. Webster’s letters were . WHOLE NO. 158. VARIETIES: PEACE SENTIMENTS IN EnGLanp.—A very in+ teresting correspondence has passed, so it is said, between several members of the British Parliament and Mr. Dallas. A letter of congratulation, bearing the signatures of some fifty or more members of Parliament, on the satisfactory settlement of the enlistment difficulties béetween England and the United States, was most unexpectedly received by Mr, Dallas, some short time before the sailing of the Baltic. He, however, mentions the circumstance in a postscript to a private letter, and rejoices at the probable immediate settlement of all misunderstandings between the two countries. Drovrs 1x Kentucky.—The drouth has fallen with great severity in Kentucky, but in the southern portion of the State its effects are terrible. The Hopkinsville Patriot of late date says: The drouth is doing a fatal work in this sec. tion of the State, and farmers begin to fear a recurrence of the season of 1854. ‘Late corn is worth nothing at all, tobacco is little better, and everything like pasturage is literally burning up. Corn is now selling at $1 50 per barrel in Logan, and will be much higher still. Corron tN San Joaquin County.—The capacity of the soil of San Joaquin county for the cultivation of cotton, has been successfully tested at Two Mile Bar, on the Stanislaus river. Dr. Robinson, during the past season, has planted . and cultivated a few stalks of cotton in his gar den, simply as a test; the result was all that lie could desire, clearly showing that the Stanislaus: river valley is well adapted to the successful cultivation of this eminently staple article of Southern Atlantic commerce,—<Argus. Tur Leacve or Tyrants.—There is a rumor that the despotic Governments of Italy are fraternizing, under the support of Austria, for mu~ tual protection against the interference of the West. “It requires no effort of imagination,” says the London Morning Star, “to believe such a combination possible, after so many threats from France and England. Florence, Naples, Rome and Modena are the Governments supposed to be confederating.”’ Mr. Denver.—The Washington Star says:— ‘We understand that Mr. Denver, the efficient and popular representative in Congress from California, remains in this city during the recess to expedite the closing up the California war bonds business with the government. As thousands in and out of his State are interested in the speedy settlement of this vexatious business,. . this will be good news for them. . Fienr with Pmates.—A. desperate engagement has occurred between the crew of a Prussian ship of war and the Algerine pirates, on the coast of Morocco. Eight of. the former were killed and twenty wounded, Prince Adel~ bert was also wounded. ‘The incident has re~ vived the talk of a European expedition against the pirates on that coast. Marentan Procress or Texas.—Of all the slave States in the Union, Texas appears to be the most rapidly progressing. The average vaiue of assessed land is now $1.28; in 1852, it was 87e. The total value of land assessed in 1852 was $33,000,000; now, it is $58,000,000. Of negroes, $28,000,000; now, 53,000,000. Of horses and cattle, $8,000,000; now, $17,000,000. Enp or tHE Wortp.—A gentleman named Slavell, who isa follower of Miller, has just issued an epistle to the hopeful few who are awaiting with exemplary patience for the end of all things. informing them that the affairs of this world are all to be settled at a period no farther distant than the thirteenth of the pre. sent month, Roppery AND Mcrper.—A miner living near Evansville, Butte county, was murdered on Sat. urday night, Oct. 5th, in his cabin, which was . also robbed of all the money it contained. On . the following day a large party of men started . out in pursuit of the murderes, but the result of their search is not yet known. A Fixe OveninG For A Nice YounG SwINDLER—A juvenile spendthrift, who had spent all his money, and more than that, had covered him~self with bills and dishonor, upon being asked . what he should do,, coolly made answer: ‘I have but two remedies left me—either to go to California or else get into Congress,” Pourrican Cuance.— It is announced in the Bay papers that Judge Shattuck, of the Supert. or Court of San Francisco, formerly a Whig, 'and more recently a member of the American party, has joined the Democracy. On Monday . night, Oct. 6th, he addressed the Democratic . Keystone Club of that city, . * Goop Apvice.—Some burglars entered a . house on Dupont street, San Francisco, on Sun. day night, Oct. 5th, through an unlocked door. . After riffing it of some $500 worth of silver, . they wrote on the door: ‘Please keep your doors . locked hereafter.”’ . AnotneR Pionzer Gone.—Capt. Walters, a . resident of Monterey, died in that place on the . 30th ult. He was an old sea captain on the . Pacific, having been on this coast since 1820. . His age was about 65 years; twenty of whieh . he had spent in California. . . Connecticut.—aA. letter from Connecticut to . the N. Y. Journal of Commerce says: ‘Fhe . Democrats are gaining strength rapidly in old . Connecticut. You may safely set us down for . five thousand majority for Buck and Breck, in . the coming clection.”’ Cuances.—In Newburyport, Mass., but 62 persons have continued in uninterrupted business, out of 143 who advertised in the Newburyport Directory of 1849. All the others, in seven years, have died, failed, or left town. ALL ror A Bonnet.—It is said that a young lady lately committed suicide, in the 17th ward, Philadeldhia, because her mother refused to buy her a new bonnet. Weattu or Bosron.—The Assessors’ returns . of the wealth of Boston, for the present year, will show an aggregate property of nearly three hundred millions of dollars, Lovis Napotzon is reported to be in failing health. He has been ordered by his physicians . to leave Paris and give up all business and excitement.

San Francisco Branch Mint are put down at . $277,300, in the general appropriation.ill. Tue Pacific Sentinel says, that the ancient people in its vicinity feel it in their old bones, that we are about to have a very wet winter season. We hope the bones of the veteran’s don’t deceive them. THE GRAPE Crop in the southern portion of the State is said to be more abundant this season than in any previous one. The Senator on her last trip brought up 4000 boxes. Low Prices or Ligor.—We understand that nearly all the drinking saloons in San Francisdull there. Mrs, Sinclair had played a short engagement in Sydney, where she produced the “Marble Heart’’ with tolerable success. M'Ile. Duret was unable to effect an engagement at anything like reasonable terms—S. ¥. Herald. co have reduced the prices of liquor to a bita drink.
