Tae Prosrecr iv Nevapa.—The California American, of Friday last, makes an estimate of the probable vote of the several counties in this State—the whole of which, footed up, gives the State to Fillmore by about ten thousand majority. Nevada county is put down as good for two hundred majority for Fillmore. This is about the same majority that Johnson had last year over Bigler, and the estimate was probably formed upon the result of that election. The American appears to be oblivious to the fact that hundreds in this county have withdrawn from the Know Nothing order within the past year, and are now working with the Democracy, while the ranks of the Republicans are mainly recruited from those who voted the K. N, ticket at the last general election. Between Fillmore and Fremont, from present appearances, the vote will be a close one in Nevada county, but the vote for Buchanan is almost certain to exceed that given for both the other candidates combined. The news by the next two steamers may have a tendency to modify the result, as between Fillmore and Fremont, but under any circumstances Nevada may be set down for Buchanan by from ten to twelve hundred votes over either of his opponents, Our friends in other counties can rely on this as a fixed fact. The K. N. papers are continually prating about the “reaction” in favor of Fillmore, but no one believes in these representations; and it is admitted on all sides that the real contest is between Buchanan and Fremont. A few of the more sanguine Know Nothings still cling to the hope that Fillmore may be able to carry one or two States, and that the election will be thrown into the House of Representatives, but the general impression is that he will not get the electoral vote of a single State. LLL TTR Arrest or Wesster.—Jim Webster, who broke out of jail in this place, on Wednesday night last, was re-arrested by Mr. Plumer, our efficient city Marshal, on Saturday morning, and is again lodged in jail. Mr. Plumer had got intelligence that Lee Schell, the supposed accomplice of Webster, was at Empire Ranch, and on Friday evening, in company with Brace Garvey started for that place, in the hope of finding Webster. On arriving at the ranch, they ascertained that two persons answering the description of Webster and Schell had left that place, and gone towards Marysville. They proceeded asfaras Smartville,in Yuba county, where they overhauled them. When found, they were asleep in bed, with their pistols under their heads. The pistols were quietly removed, and the two worthies taken into custody, and brought back to this place the same day. There being no evidence against Schell, he was discharged, although, it is generally believed he has been connected with Webster in the most of the robberies recently committed in this vicinity. We are under obligations to J. E. Hamlin, of The Republican and Vigilance parties of San Francisco have at lengtle/formed a complete coalition. The Vigilance or “Peoples” party are to have all the county and city offices, and the Republicans are to have the members of the Legislature. The “Peoples” ticket was formed by a nominating committee, appointed during the excitement of an immense mass meeting. The committee was appointed by a few tricksters, who had the whole matter cut and dried, and the principal offices divided out, before the meeting was called. The citizens assembled at the meeting had no opportunity whatever to give expression to their individual preferences. It was understood at the time the committee was appointed that the nominations should be submitted to another mass meeting for ratification, yet this has never been done, and the . commitee have taken the responsibility of pledg. ing the votes of their party to the Republican nominees for the Legislature. On the other hand, a majority of the members of the Republican County Convention, have withdrawn their candidates for county afi city offices, and are now attempting to drill their party into the support of candidates, many of whom are politically opposed to them. The self-styled organs of the people in San Francisco will doubtless continue to harp on the corruptions of the old political parties; but such wholesale bartering of party votes, and such bare-faced corruption among party leaders would never have been tolerated by any respectable political organization that ever had an existence in this country. The Republicans profess to have political principles; but if the . rank and file of the party in San Francisco ratfy the acts of their Convention, and allow them. selves to be traded off like so many cattle, vo other evidence will needed to establish the fact, that they think more of the spoils of office than the success of their principles. Democratic Meetmas.—Enthusiastic gatherings of the Democracy have been addressed during the past week ata number of places on the ridge. At Eureka a large assemblage was addressed by Dr. Gwin, 8. H. Chase candidate for the State Senate, W. F. Anderson and §. §. Fenn. On Saturday night a mecting of the Democratic masses of Snow Point, Moore’s, Wolsey’s Flats and neighborhood was held at Orleans Flat. It was a noble outpouring of the people, who responded warmly to the sentiments uttered on the oceasion, The commanding presence ‘and clear reasoning of that staunch old champion of our cause, Dr. Gwin, kept the audience deeply attentive for an hour and a half.— He was followed by Chase and Anderson of the county ticket. R. Hl. Moise was afterwards called out and in answering the call entertained the assemblage until a late hour with an cloquent and brilliant speech replete with information in regard to the political history of the country. On Monday night according to previous announcement a meeting was held at San Juan,— A large delegation came up from Cherokee in wagons and on horseback bearing the American Flag. The Democratic Club from Sweetland’s, about sixty in number, marched to San Juan and were grected with enthusiastic cheers by their democratic brethren. It was one of the largest meetings which we have seen in the county during the present campaign, and gave a guarrautee that Bridgeport is alive in the cause of Democracy. Dr. Gwin was received with cordial applause and throughout his address was listened to with eager attention. W. F, Anderson spoke briefly of the men and measures proper to be considered in the present contest and was followed by W. H.

Our dispatch does not state the entire vote, but from the majorities and losses and gains, which it gives, taken in connection with the official result of 1855, the following conclusion may be arrived at : Total Republican Vote, 63488, “ Democratic “ 43965, “ Know Nothing “ 6423. Showing that the Democrats have lost 10 per cent of their vote, and the Know Nothings 40 per cent; whilst the Black Republicans have gained 31 per cent. Man Suor.—On Thursday morning, at Rich Bar, on the Yuba river, a man named E. Ball, shot another named Thomas O’Donnell. The difficulty grew out, of a game of cards, for amusement. O’Donnell has since died. The miners tried Ball and acquitted him, on the ground that the homicide was justifiable, deceased being the attacking party. Rev. Mr. Goer, of the Methodist Episcopal Chureh South, preached his farewell sermon in this place on Sunday last. Mr. Gober has deservedly been one of the most popular ministers we have had among us, and his absence will be regretted by all who have enjoyed his acquaintance. Democratic Entuvsiasm.—The Democratic papers throughout the State, are filled with speakers are doing good service, and if half the accounts we hear are reliable, the State may be set down as good for Buchanan by a large majority over both the other Presidential candidates.

Mr. Hanna, of Cherokee, the young Pennsylvanian, was also called out and spoke in his usual animated style for about one hour. The president of the meeting, Harry Sweetland, in reply to a call made upon him, excused himself on account of the lateness of the hour, and proposed an adjournment with three cheers for Buck and Breck, which were given with a spirit which exhibits the living zeal of the men of the . mountains, NATURALIZATION Parers.—We call the attention of such persons as are desirous of obtaining . naturalization papers, to the fact that the District Court for this county is now in session. This Court, according to the decision of the Supreme Court, is the only one in the State having jurisdiction in cases of naturalization, and those entitled to their papers should attend to it at once. The law requires persons to show . satisfactory proof to the Court that they have . resided at least five years in some State or Territory of the United States, and that they have . been residents of this State one year, and that they have conducted themselves as good citizens, attached to our government; and further, . that they have made declaration of their intention to become citizens at least two years prior to their application to be admitted as citizens.

Its occupant, Mr. . Samuel Price, was consumed by the flames,— . Shortly after the building caught he was ob. served in the flames grappling for life,and shrieking for assistance, but no earthly power could rescue him. When he retired he was intoxicated, and it is supposed he neglected to ex. tinguish the light, from which fire was communicated to the premises. Alas, poor soul, he . fell a victim to that monster-demon, intemperance, and devouring flames sung his funeral dirge. . P. Van Hagan, 184; J. McFarland, 163. For . ne .

The Bulletin calls him a “political huckster,’’ and yet that paper cannot discover a single act of that gentleman’s, either in his private or public life, which could form the ground work for such an epithet.

Becwanan at Home.—James Buchanan is a good townsman, friend ,neighbor and Christian. Do ye doubt? Listen to the talk of the Lancaster American, a journal which has opposed the Democratic party. Recently, it has come out for Mr. Buchanan, and it assigns the followIng reasons: “Because he is our neighbor and friend, and because he has done more for the poor of this city than all his traducers put together, Because he is a statesman of the first order of intellect, and is vastly superior in every respect to all his competitors, _ Because he is an honest man, and will administer the government honestly and faithfully. Because he will be President, not of a faction, or a section of the Union, but of the whole American people—and will know no north, no south, no east, no west, but treat all alike, fairly and impartially, in the true spirit of the constitution, Because we know him and can t 3 ruly say th he is one of the purest, as he is Hien org among the ablest, . excitement creatod is unparalleled in the histoity of political celebrations in this city.

A full attendance of Lettie tisietite tbe y WRT Mysterious Marder ie Sax Francisco On Wednesday evenizg last information Was conveyed to the police «fice of San Francisco, that a woman had bee found murdered in her bed in a house on Washington Place, (a smal] alley thatruns from Washington to Jackson street, near Dupont., Capt. Lees proceeded to the scene of the alleged assassination, and found the body of a woman lying in bed, dead ang stiff. It was dressed very scantily in night clothing. On the body, just-under the ribs, ang a little way from the eon'cc to the left, was wound about an inch aod « half in length, ang apparently of great depth. Judging from the aperture of the wound, it would seem that long and keen knife or dirk had been driven upwards In the direction of the heart, causing almost instant deaih. There was very little blood upon the bed—the hemorhage being principally internal. The body was removed to the Coroner’s office, od an inquest was held over it on Thursday. The murdered womas was known by the name of Victoire Rotoni; she was a native of France, and had lived in this country about five years. The following is from the evidence ta ken before the Corener’s Inquest: Louis Mallet being eworn, deposed to the following relatien: He said, that he was intimate. ly acquainted with the deceased, whose real name wes Louise Poten, and that he had lived with her in California dnring the last five years, He resided at the Lagovn, and was employed there in a restaurant calicd La Petite Vincenne; the last time he saw J.ouise wason Tuesday Jast, about 2 u’eleek, at the Lagoon, whither she had gone to sve hin, and she then left him saying that she would yeturp the next day. The next day he waited ti? one o'clock expecting her arrival; but as she did not come, he asked his employer, who was coming into town, to stop and inquire about Louise, His employer came to the City, but finding the house in which the girl dwelt, shu up, he informed Mallet of the fact on his return; Mallet feeling uneasy, mounted his horse and rode in, and went to the house of Louise, which he found closed; he knocked, but receiving no answer, went to the back door and kicking it open, went in. He then went on to deseribe what he saw, iu the following manner: “T went inte the bed-room and saw that the bed was all tossed, and did not see the deceased; I went into the front room, but could not find he.; I went back again into the bed-room and felt the bed and found her covered up; I uncovered her, and tound her lying on her baek, stabbed in the leit sido; she was dead; I gave the alarm, and a nuntber of people rushed into the room; I afterwards sent for Dr. Olivera, who, ou arrival, examined her, and pronounced her dead: he said he thought she had been dead for eight hours; it was then between five and six o’clock, P.

Ortextan Rat.soxn—Mr, Layard proposes that a railroad should be built from the Mediterranecan through Aleppo to Mosul, on the Tigris, thence dowa the eastern bank of that river through Bacdad to the Persian Gulf. A. railroad also has heen suggested through the deserts of Syria and Arabia to the Gulf, following closely the route of the caravans that from time InMomoral nave carried the rich products of the East to Aleppo. It is expected that Enelish capitalists will engage in building these railroads, : A Resstay Army Missinc.—A Prussian paper officially says:——“Gen. Chruleff, who commanded a Russian division, during the siege of Sebastopol, was afterward sent to the frontiers of Persia, where he appears to have advanced too far into the hostiié territory. Cut off from all communication with his own countrymen, and threatened on his fianke by innumerable hordes of Circassians and Kurds, he found himself obliged to make a retreat across boundless wastes of the inhospitable steepes, and as nothing has since been heard of him. great fears are entertained for the safety of the General and his whole army.” Accipentr np Loss or Lire.—On Monday last some Portuguese were mining at Deadwood. in Trinity county, when a bank of dirt caved in upon them, killing one man almost instantly, breaking the leg of another, and bruising and maiming a third in a most shocking manner.— Shasta Conirier. “MARRIED, .

Tae Prosrecr iv Nevapa.—The California American, of Friday last, makes an estimate of the probable vote of the several counties in this State—the whole of which, footed up, gives the State to Fillmore by about ten thousand majority. Nevada county is put down as good for two hundred majority for Fillmore. This is about the same majority that Johnson had last year over Bigler, and the estimate was probably formed upon the result of that election. The American appears to be oblivious to the fact that hundreds in this county have withdrawn from the Know Nothing order within the past year, and are now working with the Democracy, while the ranks of the Republicans are mainly recruited from those who voted the K. N, ticket at the last general election. Between Fillmore and Fremont, from present appearances, the vote will be a close one in Nevada county, but the vote for Buchanan is almost certain to exceed that given for both the other candidates combined. The news by the next two steamers may have a tendency to modify the result, as between Fillmore and Fremont, but under any circumstances Nevada may be set down for Buchanan by from ten to twelve hundred votes over either of his opponents, Our friends in other counties can rely on this as a fixed fact. The K. N. papers are continually prating about the “reaction” in favor of Fillmore, but no one believes in these representations; and it is admitted on all sides that the real contest is between Buchanan and Fremont. A few of the more sanguine Know Nothings still cling to the hope that Fillmore may be able to carry one or two States, and that the election will be thrown into the House of Representatives, but the general impression is that he will not get the electoral vote of a single State. LLL TTR Arrest or Wesster.—Jim Webster, who broke out of jail in this place, on Wednesday night last, was re-arrested by Mr. Plumer, our efficient city Marshal, on Saturday morning, and is again lodged in jail. Mr. Plumer had got intelligence that Lee Schell, the supposed accomplice of Webster, was at Empire Ranch, and on Friday evening, in company with Brace Garvey started for that place, in the hope of finding Webster. On arriving at the ranch, they ascertained that two persons answering the description of Webster and Schell had left that place, and gone towards Marysville. They proceeded asfaras Smartville,in Yuba county, where they overhauled them. When found, they were asleep in bed, with their pistols under their heads. The pistols were quietly removed, and the two worthies taken into custody, and brought back to this place the same day. There being no evidence against Schell, he was discharged, although, it is generally believed he has been connected with Webster in the most of the robberies recently committed in this vicinity. We are under obligations to J. E. Hamlin, of The Republican and Vigilance parties of San Francisco have at lengtle/formed a complete coalition. The Vigilance or “Peoples” party are to have all the county and city offices, and the Republicans are to have the members of the Legislature. The “Peoples” ticket was formed by a nominating committee, appointed during the excitement of an immense mass meeting. The committee was appointed by a few tricksters, who had the whole matter cut and dried, and the principal offices divided out, before the meeting was called. The citizens assembled at the meeting had no opportunity whatever to give expression to their individual preferences. It was understood at the time the committee was appointed that the nominations should be submitted to another mass meeting for ratification, yet this has never been done, and the . commitee have taken the responsibility of pledg. ing the votes of their party to the Republican nominees for the Legislature. On the other hand, a majority of the members of the Republican County Convention, have withdrawn their candidates for county afi city offices, and are now attempting to drill their party into the support of candidates, many of whom are politically opposed to them. The self-styled organs of the people in San Francisco will doubtless continue to harp on the corruptions of the old political parties; but such wholesale bartering of party votes, and such bare-faced corruption among party leaders would never have been tolerated by any respectable political organization that ever had an existence in this country. The Republicans profess to have political principles; but if the . rank and file of the party in San Francisco ratfy the acts of their Convention, and allow them. selves to be traded off like so many cattle, vo other evidence will needed to establish the fact, that they think more of the spoils of office than the success of their principles. Democratic Meetmas.—Enthusiastic gatherings of the Democracy have been addressed during the past week ata number of places on the ridge. At Eureka a large assemblage was addressed by Dr. Gwin, 8. H. Chase candidate for the State Senate, W. F. Anderson and §. §. Fenn. On Saturday night a mecting of the Democratic masses of Snow Point, Moore’s, Wolsey’s Flats and neighborhood was held at Orleans Flat. It was a noble outpouring of the people, who responded warmly to the sentiments uttered on the oceasion, The commanding presence ‘and clear reasoning of that staunch old champion of our cause, Dr. Gwin, kept the audience deeply attentive for an hour and a half.— He was followed by Chase and Anderson of the county ticket. R. Hl. Moise was afterwards called out and in answering the call entertained the assemblage until a late hour with an cloquent and brilliant speech replete with information in regard to the political history of the country. On Monday night according to previous announcement a meeting was held at San Juan,— A large delegation came up from Cherokee in wagons and on horseback bearing the American Flag. The Democratic Club from Sweetland’s, about sixty in number, marched to San Juan and were grected with enthusiastic cheers by their democratic brethren. It was one of the largest meetings which we have seen in the county during the present campaign, and gave a guarrautee that Bridgeport is alive in the cause of Democracy. Dr. Gwin was received with cordial applause and throughout his address was listened to with eager attention. W.

Showing that the Democrats have lost 10 per cent of their vote, and the Know Nothings 40 per cent; whilst the Black Republicans have gained 31 per cent. Man Suor.—On Thursday morning, at Rich Bar, on the Yuba river, a man named E. Ball, shot another named Thomas O’Donnell. The difficulty grew out, of a game of cards, for amusement. O’Donnell has since died. The miners tried Ball and acquitted him, on the ground that the homicide was justifiable, deceased being the attacking party. Rev. Mr. Goer, of the Methodist Episcopal Chureh South, preached his farewell sermon in this place on Sunday last. Mr. Gober has deservedly been one of the most popular ministers we have had among us, and his absence will be regretted by all who have enjoyed his acquaintance. Democratic Entuvsiasm.—The Democratic papers throughout the State, are filled with speakers are doing good service, and if half the accounts we hear are reliable, the State may be set down as good for Buchanan by a large majority over both the other Presidential candidates.

Mr. Hanna, of Cherokee, the young Pennsylvanian, was also called out and spoke in his usual animated style for about one hour. The president of the meeting, Harry Sweetland, in reply to a call made upon him, excused himself on account of the lateness of the hour, and proposed an adjournment with three cheers for Buck and Breck, which were given with a spirit which exhibits the living zeal of the men of the . mountains, NATURALIZATION Parers.—We call the attention of such persons as are desirous of obtaining . naturalization papers, to the fact that the District Court for this county is now in session. This Court, according to the decision of the Supreme Court, is the only one in the State having jurisdiction in cases of naturalization, and those entitled to their papers should attend to it at once. The law requires persons to show . satisfactory proof to the Court that they have . resided at least five years in some State or Territory of the United States, and that they have . been residents of this State one year, and that they have conducted themselves as good citizens, attached to our government; and further, . that they have made declaration of their intention to become citizens at least two years prior to their application to be admitted as citizens.

Its occupant, Mr. . Samuel Price, was consumed by the flames,— . Shortly after the building caught he was ob. served in the flames grappling for life,and shrieking for assistance, but no earthly power could rescue him. When he retired he was intoxicated, and it is supposed he neglected to ex. tinguish the light, from which fire was communicated to the premises.

It says that Mr. Broderick caused the split between the People’s committee and the Black Republicans. We suppose it will next be found out that he was the cause of the European war, and occasioned the recent storm in the northern counties. The Bulletin calls him a “political huckster,’’ and yet that paper cannot discover a single act of that gentleman’s, either in his private or public life, which could form the ground work for such an epithet. He isan unswerving, unfaltering, and high-toned gentleman and democrat; that is his great and only fault, and the one which is the most objectionable to the rascally Bulletin.—Slate Journal. Becwanan at Home.—James Buchanan is a good townsman, friend ,neighbor and Christian. Do ye doubt? Listen to the talk of the Lancaster American, a journal which has opposed the Democratic party. Recently, it has come out for Mr. Buchanan, and it assigns the followIng reasons: “Because he is our neighbor and friend, and because he has done more for the poor of this city than all his traducers put together, Because he is a statesman of the first order of intellect, and is vastly superior in every respect to all his competitors, _ Because he is an honest man, and will administer the government honestly and faithfully. Because he will be President, not of a faction, or a section of the Union, but of the whole American people—and will know no north, no south, no east, no west, but treat all alike, fairly and impartially, in the true spirit of the constitution, Because we know him and can t 3 ruly say th he is one of the purest, as he is Hien org among the ablest, . excitement creatod is unparalleled in the histoity of political celebrations in this city.

On the body, just-under the ribs, ang a little way from the eon'cc to the left, was wound about an inch aod « half in length, ang apparently of great depth. Judging from the aperture of the wound, it would seem that long and keen knife or dirk had been driven upwards In the direction of the heart, causing almost instant deaih. There was very little blood upon the bed—the hemorhage being principally internal. The body was removed to the Coroner’s office, od an inquest was held over it on Thursday.

He then went on to deseribe what he saw, iu the following manner: “T went inte the bed-room and saw that the bed was all tossed, and did not see the deceased; I went into the front room, but could not find he.; I went back again into the bed-room and felt the bed and found her covered up; I uncovered her, and tound her lying on her baek, stabbed in the leit sido; she was dead; I gave the alarm, and a nuntber of people rushed into the room; I afterwards sent for Dr. Olivera, who, ou arrival, examined her, and pronounced her dead: he said he thought she had been dead for eight hours; it was then between five and six o’clock, P.

A. railroad also has heen suggested through the deserts of Syria and Arabia to the Gulf, following closely the route of the caravans that from time InMomoral nave carried the rich products of the East to Aleppo.

Chruleff, who commanded a Russian division, during the siege of Sebastopol, was afterward sent to the frontiers of Persia, where he appears to have advanced too far into the hostiié territory. Cut off from all communication with his own countrymen, and threatened on his fianke by innumerable hordes of Circassians and Kurds, he found himself obliged to make a retreat across boundless wastes of the inhospitable steepes, and as nothing has since been heard of him. great fears are entertained for the safety of the General and his whole army.” Accipentr np Loss or Lire.—On Monday last some Portuguese were mining at Deadwood. in Trinity county, when a bank of dirt caved in upon them, killing one man almost instantly, breaking the leg of another, and bruising and maiming a third in a most shocking manner.— Shasta Conirier. “MARRIED, .
