NEVADA, WEDNESDAY, OCT. 19, 1859. great length by the Wasbington Attorney General Black is supposed to be the gans of the President, and whoever may be the author, itno doubt expresses the opinions of the Administration. The author does not in by Judge Douglas. His principal object seems to be to misrepresent the position of Douglas and endeavor to-show that he has not in all caZ Minixe at ALLEGHANYTOWN.—The operations of the Nebraska Tannel Company, whose claims are located near Alleghanytown, Sierra county, will give some idea of the perseverance and expense required in the suceessful prosecution of mining enterprizes at the present tme, The company was organized in the spring of 1854, and originally consisted of twenty members, each holdings claim of thirty feet square. They commenced “running their tunnel on the 7th of May, 1854, and have since prosecuted the work without interruption. The tunnel is now in 1,500 feet, the whole distance having been blasted through solid rock; and they have still about 200 feet further to run before getting through the rock into the pay gravel. The ie company have thus far expended $41,000 in 4 running the tunnel, but Mr, Tisdale, one of the members, informs us that the rock is now soft so that it can be excavated without blasting, and they expect to complete the tunnel in the course of a few months, Two of tbe original locaters of these diggings—Patrick Burns and John Bogan—are sti}l members of the company, and bave regularly paid up their assessments for over five years. The other original members have all sold out their interests, many of them at a loss. They calculate that the shares will be worth $6,000 each as soon as the tunnel is completed, The Red Star company, whose claims adjoin those of the Nebraska company, have run a tunnel into their diggings at an immense ex. pense, and for some time have been taking out large quantities of gold. The shares io this company are now selling at $7,000 each. ular Sovereignty, and it does not prove that he is wrong now. It is not true, however, that made it so appear without resorting to misrepresentation, Aea specimen of hie style of argument, we make the following extract : What did Mr. Douglas mean when he proposed ted for the Kansas-Nebraska Bill restriction? Did he intend to tell Southern men that, excluded from those Territories as much an ever? Or did he not regard the right of a master to his slave pertectly good whenever he got rid of the prohibition? any body else at that time, dream that it was necessar to make a positive law in favor o' i 4 to anawer them, The Kansas-Nebraska Bill was not meant as a delusion or a snare, that the repeal alone of the restriction against slavery would throw the country open to everything which the Constitution recognized as property. When Donglas voted for the Kansas-Nebraska Bill, he meant, what the Bill itself declared, neither to legislate slavery into the Territories nor exclude it therefrom, but to leave the people thereof perfectly free either to establieh or exclude the institution as they should think proper. It was then well understood that the question was to be localized in the Territories; if a majority of the people wanted slaves they would have the right to pass laws protecting the owners in their right to euch property, if they did not want them they were at liberty to evact such laws as would exclude the institution. This was the opinion entertained by all the leading Democrats who voted for the repeal of the Missourj restriction, in 1854, and DougIne still maintains the same position. The reviewer admits that the Constitution does not carry slavery into the Federal Territories; but he holds that the Territorial Legislatures have no right to enact laws excluding the institution, and depicts in vigorous language the injustice of one portion of a people depriving another of their property. Such arguments would well become a monarchist who did not believe that the people had the capacity to govern themselves, It is doubtless true. that a majority of the people, in any State or Territory, have the power to inflict serious injury upon the minority; but our system of government is based on the theory tbat the people have the capacity to govern themselves, and will actin accordance with the principles of justice. We cannot assent to the doctrine, however, that it would be unjust for # majority of the people of a Territory to exclude slavery from their midst, for the institution is merely local, and slaves can be held as property only where they are made such by local authority, It ia admitted both by Douglas and bis reviewer, that there isa serious difference of opinion in the ranks of the Democratic party, upon this question of slavery in the Territories, and itis one that can neither be evaded nor passed over in silence by the next Democratic National Convention, Gen. Wixviziy Scorr.—This distinguished veteran, and commanding officer of the American army, arrived at San Francisco on the Golden Age, last Sunday, and was welcomed witb all the honors which bis eminent public services merit, He was received by the several military companies of the city, and escorted through the principal streets, being drawn in a barouche by four white horses, The whole city seemed to be on foot; the side-walks, balconies, and house-tops being thronged with people, who enthusiastically cheered the General as be passed aloog. The Bourd of Supervisors had tendered bim the freedom of the city, and salutes were fired from the wharves and Plaza as the procession marched through thecity. At two o’cleck the barouche arrived at the Oriental Hotel, where the assemblage was addressed by Generals Scott and Clarke, Col, Baker and Gov. Weller, when the military dispersed, Gen. Scott left San Francisco last Monday, on the steamer Northerner, for Puget Sound, er erceeeie ernie eterna Tax Tittu Decisiox.—The Supreme Court has affirmed the judgment of the District Court of Nevada county, in the case of Lachman vs. Clark, which was au action to recover posses sion of a tract of land claimed by the plaintiff under a tax deed executed by the Sheriff, The property is described in the deed, and also in the assessment roll, as a ranch, commonly known as Clark’s ranch, situated two miles south of Grass Valley, on the Auburn road, in Nevada county, and assessed to Joseph Clark, the defendant, This description was held to be insufficient to convey a title to the land. ne ee eet oe me err nee Gen, Scorr’s Mission.—The ostensible object of sending Gen, Scott to the Pacific coast, was a fear on the part of the Administration that Gen, Harney would commit some act of rashnees that would involve the United States in a war with England. But the acvw of Gen. Harney have thue far been characterized by great prudence and forbearance; and as the question of disputed boundary will have to be settled by the civil authorities of the two Governments, it is not probable that Gen. Scott will make any changes in the policy adopted by Gen. Harney. It is said, however, that the old veteran was desirous of visiting this coast, and all will rejoice that an opportunity is presented that enables him to gratify his wishee, Tus New York Deiucates.—The New York Herald gives the following classification of the personal and political proclivities of the seventy delegates elected at the Syracuse Convention, to represent New York at Charleston: Dickinson, 24; Douglas, 19; Guthrie, 9; Seymoar, 8; Wise, 4; Buchanan, 2; and one each for Hunter, Cobb, Holt, and Orr. Other papers, however, state that the entire vote of the State will be cast for Douglas as long as there isa possibility of his nomination, and that Dickinson has not more than eight or ten friends among the delegates. The delegates were instructed to cast the vote of the State as a unit, and in accordance with the will of o majority of their number, Horrmwie Svicipok.—A young man named Jobo W, Trask committed suicide in bis room at the United States Hotel, Maryaville, last Sunday night, by cutting bis throat with a razor. When found on Monday morning, he was lying on the floor, with bis face down, and covered with blood, bis throat cut almost from ear to ear, He has lived in this country some four or five years, aud having been unfortunate in business was latterly much depressed in spirits, He was formerly from Vermont, ond has a brother nuw living in Augusta, Maine, Auxap or tHe Matt.—The steamer Golden Age, with the U.S. Mail and late Eastern papers, arrived at the Bay on Sunday morning. As there was no mail steamer leaving San Francisco on Sunday, J. W, Sullivan, the newspaper dealer, immediately dispatched the Contra Costa ferry boat for Sacramento, with the papers, by which means the people of the nortbern ynines were eupplied with all the Eastern journals one day in advance of the mails, GuayMas TO bE Taken—PropasLy.—By the steamer Uncle Sam we learn that the U. 8, sloop-of-war St. Mary’s had sailed from Acapulco for Guaymas, A rumor was received to the effect that the captain had received orders to take possession of Guaymas and hold the place, in consequence of the treatment of Capt. Stone’s surveying party. Tux Anizonian.—We are indebted to Mr, Mead, of this place, for a copy of the Weekly Arizonian, of Oct. 6th, publ shed at Tueson, in the proposed Territory of Arizonia, Itis about half the size of the Democrat, aad a letter from Ned. McGowan fills one page. It contains seyeral columns of San Francisco advertisements, but from the emall amount of local advertising, we judge that but little business is carried on in the place. It is the only paper in Arizonia. One Foot Less.—A man named O'Connor, who advertised not long since that he would jump off the bank at Niagara Falls, was drowned a day or two before he was to make the leap. He went down to the water to try it by ewimming at the place he proposed to jump, and was drawn under the water by the suction ofa whirlpool. is New Finm.—By a notice in another columa it will be observed that Messrs, A.

To ask these questions is . friend of Mr. Broderick, desirous of protecting It was well understood . his honor, and claiming to know something of his political principles, we bave a word to say in regard to the construction which has been given to his language by those who were bis politieal oppunents while he was living. He was opposed to a Congressional Slave Code for the Territories, and opposed to the influence and power of the Federal Government being wielded for the extension of slavery. He was not an admirer of the institution, aod would, under any circumstances, have voted and used bis influence against the introduction of slavery into any State or Territory of which be was a citizen, But be was not in favor of Congress ioual intervention to prohibit slavery in the Territories, where the people desired to estab lish it. On the contrary, he believed in the doctrine of Popular Sovereignty to the fullest extent, Mr. Broderick was 00 doubt impressed with the conviction that bis life was sought for political purposes; but it ix doubtful whether even he was fully aware of all the reasona which controlled the action of those who thirsted for bis blood. He was incorruptible; his sympathies were with the masses; as a leader of the people he possessed all the qualities of a Jackson, and had he lived he would have been the meaus of killing off, politically, a generation of nristocratic demmagogues, who flatter the people but to deceive them. His corrupt political opponents well knew thie; hence he was forced into a bostile meeting with the pieked duelist of the State, PoruLation oy Sackamento,—Cutter & Co., in their Sacramento Directory, just issued, give the white population of this city at 10,794, Classified thus : Males over 21..00.

Since his arrival here on Sunday moruing he bas been visit. ed hy many thousands of people, and the ball of the Trement House leading to bis rooms is corstanily filled with those who desire to see him and have a shake of his baud. No man. since the days of Jackson, has obtained so complete a control of the heart of the people, and the wild enthusiasm which his presence every. where excites shows how thoroughly the sentiment in his favor bas spread itself among the masses, Emigration To OneGon.—The last of the overland emigration to Oregon have arrived at the Dalles of the Columbia, with Capt. Wallen. The Dalles Journal says : It has been ascertained that four hundred and forty-six men, one hundred and fifteen women. one handred and forty-eight children, one handred and eighty-seven wagons, two hundred aud six horses and mules, and one thousand eight hundred and ninety-eight head of cattle have passed over the road into this valley thie season, These emigrants appear to have had remarkable snocess with their stock, ax Captain Wallen has seen the remains of but fifteen or twenty by the roadside. Prxe’s Peak Mives.—The St. Louis Repuhilcan, of Sept. 26th, publishes a statement showing that the total amount of gold received at St. Lonis, from the Pike’s Peak mines, was $73,000. ‘Phis estimate is based on the valuation of $17 to the ounce, which is below the real value, and does not include the amount brought by private individuals, One man, a Mr, Gregory, left Denver City, Ssh eae” y ity, Sept. 14th, with Heavy Drravcation.—Wm, J. Lane, transfer and note clerk of the Fulton Bank, New York. was arrested Sept. 20th, on a charge of embez zling $60,000 from that institution. Several thousand dollarsin the shape of jewelry bestowed upon women, and valuable horses and carriages in private stables, had been reeovered. Scwamrt a Prisonsn.—Advices from Europe state that Schamyl, the brave Cireassian chief, who for many years, at the bead of a handful of mountaineers, has withstood the power of Russia, bas at length been taken prisoner by the Russian troops, and sent to St. Petersburg.

These springs are situated on the head waters of the north fork of Feather River, near Lassen’s Peak, and not far from the burning Mountain. Proonress or THE MeTHopist CauRcH South. —The Methodist Episcopal Church South has made some progress in California during the past year. The net increase of membership has been one hundred and sixty-seven. The Pacific Methodist, in . alluding to this increase, and the prospects of the . Church, says: When it is remembered that we began the year with sixteen hundred new members, many of whom were young and inexperienced, and had to be trained and retained in the church, amid all the disadvantages incident to new fields of labor, inadequately supplied with preachers, this clear gain of 167 souls indicates a healthful condition of the church. The extraordinary political canvass which excited our people beyond anything in our former history, . doubtless had its effect in diverting their minds from the subject of religion. While we are not sae to take the past year's increase as the criterion of future progress, we have cause to feel grateful, and . take courage. Capture ov Horse Tuteves.—Three Span. iards, having in their possession horses which they had stolen in Alameda county, were captured last Thursday evening, near the foot hills of Mount . Diablo, and oue of their number killed. A pursuing party of six or eight persons came upon them, where they had encamped for the night, called upon them to surrender, when the Spaniards broke for the brush. The pursuing party fired upon them, wounding one, when the other two surrendered. The wounded man died the next day. Honey Lakt Gone In.—W.S. Dean Esq., who has recently returned from Honey Lake Valley, in: forms the Plumas Argus of the astounding fact that Honey Lake is literally dried up. Susan river, a . respectable stream, and as full as usual at this season of the year, fails now to reach the basin of the . lake, sinking into the earth far above it. Immense . quantities of fish have beeen destroyed by the event, and now lie decaying on the deserted bed. It is } remarkable that a lake twenty miles wide and forty miles long should disappear in such a short time. Atrempts TO Burn PetatumMa.—Three attempts have recently been made by incendiaries, to . set fire to the town of Petaluma, but fortunately the fire was discovered on each occasion in time to extinguish it. The Journal says the repeated discovery of such indications ofa determination to fire the town, has provoked a deep feeling among the . citizens, and it will prove a sorry job to the author should he be detected. A Quaker Marnriace.—Volney W. Still and Anna Marria Pearson, Quakers, were married, or rather married each other, at San Francisco, on the 13th inst. The parties went before a Justice of the Peace and declared their intentions to live together as husband and wife, and then signed the marriage certificate. This was all the ceremony. The Quakers regard the marriage as entirely a civil contract. Burnep to DeatH in Witp Oats.—The San Jose Tribune states that a native Californian, or Mexican was burned to death, not long since, in the Santa Cruz mountains, between Gilroy and Pejarro Valley.

NEVADA, WEDNESDAY, OCT. 19, 1859. great length by the Wasbington Attorney General Black is supposed to be the gans of the President, and whoever may be the author, itno doubt expresses the opinions of the Administration. The author does not in by Judge Douglas. His principal object seems to be to misrepresent the position of Douglas and endeavor to-show that he has not in all caZ Minixe at ALLEGHANYTOWN.—The operations of the Nebraska Tannel Company, whose claims are located near Alleghanytown, Sierra county, will give some idea of the perseverance and expense required in the suceessful prosecution of mining enterprizes at the present tme, The company was organized in the spring of 1854, and originally consisted of twenty members, each holdings claim of thirty feet square. They commenced “running their tunnel on the 7th of May, 1854, and have since prosecuted the work without interruption. The tunnel is now in 1,500 feet, the whole distance having been blasted through solid rock; and they have still about 200 feet further to run before getting through the rock into the pay gravel. The ie company have thus far expended $41,000 in 4 running the tunnel, but Mr, Tisdale, one of the members, informs us that the rock is now soft so that it can be excavated without blasting, and they expect to complete the tunnel in the course of a few months, Two of tbe original locaters of these diggings—Patrick Burns and John Bogan—are sti}l members of the company, and bave regularly paid up their assessments for over five years. The other original members have all sold out their interests, many of them at a loss. They calculate that the shares will be worth $6,000 each as soon as the tunnel is completed, The Red Star company, whose claims adjoin those of the Nebraska company, have run a tunnel into their diggings at an immense ex. pense, and for some time have been taking out large quantities of gold. The shares io this company are now selling at $7,000 each. ular Sovereignty, and it does not prove that he is wrong now. It is not true, however, that made it so appear without resorting to misrepresentation, Aea specimen of hie style of argument, we make the following extract : What did Mr. Douglas mean when he proposed ted for the Kansas-Nebraska Bill restriction? Did he intend to tell Southern men that, excluded from those Territories as much an ever? Or did he not regard the right of a master to his slave pertectly good whenever he got rid of the prohibition? any body else at that time, dream that it was necessar to make a positive law in favor o' i 4 to anawer them, The Kansas-Nebraska Bill was not meant as a delusion or a snare, that the repeal alone of the restriction against slavery would throw the country open to everything which the Constitution recognized as property. When Donglas voted for the Kansas-Nebraska Bill, he meant, what the Bill itself declared, neither to legislate slavery into the Territories nor exclude it therefrom, but to leave the people thereof perfectly free either to establieh or exclude the institution as they should think proper. It was then well understood that the question was to be localized in the Territories; if a majority of the people wanted slaves they would have the right to pass laws protecting the owners in their right to euch property, if they did not want them they were at liberty to evact such laws as would exclude the institution. This was the opinion entertained by all the leading Democrats who voted for the repeal of the Missourj restriction, in 1854, and DougIne still maintains the same position. The reviewer admits that the Constitution does not carry slavery into the Federal Territories; but he holds that the Territorial Legislatures have no right to enact laws excluding the institution, and depicts in vigorous language the injustice of one portion of a people depriving another of their property. Such arguments would well become a monarchist who did not believe that the people had the capacity to govern themselves, It is doubtless true. that a majority of the people, in any State or Territory, have the power to inflict serious injury upon the minority; but our system of government is based on the theory tbat the people have the capacity to govern themselves, and will actin accordance with the principles of justice. We cannot assent to the doctrine, however, that it would be unjust for # majority of the people of a Territory to exclude slavery from their midst, for the institution is merely local, and slaves can be held as property only where they are made such by local authority, It ia admitted both by Douglas and bis reviewer, that there isa serious difference of opinion in the ranks of the Democratic party, upon this question of slavery in the Territories, and itis one that can neither be evaded nor passed over in silence by the next Democratic National Convention, Gen. Wixviziy Scorr.—This distinguished veteran, and commanding officer of the American army, arrived at San Francisco on the Golden Age, last Sunday, and was welcomed witb all the honors which bis eminent public services merit, He was received by the several military companies of the city, and escorted through the principal streets, being drawn in a barouche by four white horses, The whole city seemed to be on foot; the side-walks, balconies, and house-tops being thronged with people, who enthusiastically cheered the General as be passed aloog. The Bourd of Supervisors had tendered bim the freedom of the city, and salutes were fired from the wharves and Plaza as the procession marched through thecity. At two o’cleck the barouche arrived at the Oriental Hotel, where the assemblage was addressed by Generals Scott and Clarke, Col, Baker and Gov. Weller, when the military dispersed, Gen. Scott left San Francisco last Monday, on the steamer Northerner, for Puget Sound, er erceeeie ernie eterna Tax Tittu Decisiox.—The Supreme Court has affirmed the judgment of the District Court of Nevada county, in the case of Lachman vs. Clark, which was au action to recover posses sion of a tract of land claimed by the plaintiff under a tax deed executed by the Sheriff, The property is described in the deed, and also in the assessment roll, as a ranch, commonly known as Clark’s ranch, situated two miles south of Grass Valley, on the Auburn road, in Nevada county, and assessed to Joseph Clark, the defendant, This description was held to be insufficient to convey a title to the land. ne ee eet oe me err nee Gen, Scorr’s Mission.—The ostensible object of sending Gen, Scott to the Pacific coast, was a fear on the part of the Administration that Gen, Harney would commit some act of rashnees that would involve the United States in a war with England. But the acvw of Gen. Harney have thue far been characterized by great prudence and forbearance; and as the question of disputed boundary will have to be settled by the civil authorities of the two Governments, it is not probable that Gen. Scott will make any changes in the policy adopted by Gen. Harney. It is said, however, that the old veteran was desirous of visiting this coast, and all will rejoice that an opportunity is presented that enables him to gratify his wishee, Tus New York Deiucates.—The New York Herald gives the following classification of the personal and political proclivities of the seventy delegates elected at the Syracuse Convention, to represent New York at Charleston: Dickinson, 24; Douglas, 19; Guthrie, 9; Seymoar, 8; Wise, 4; Buchanan, 2; and one each for Hunter, Cobb, Holt, and Orr. Other papers, however, state that the entire vote of the State will be cast for Douglas as long as there isa possibility of his nomination, and that Dickinson has not more than eight or ten friends among the delegates. The delegates were instructed to cast the vote of the State as a unit, and in accordance with the will of o majority of their number, Horrmwie Svicipok.—A young man named Jobo W, Trask committed suicide in bis room at the United States Hotel, Maryaville, last Sunday night, by cutting bis throat with a razor. When found on Monday morning, he was lying on the floor, with bis face down, and covered with blood, bis throat cut almost from ear to ear, He has lived in this country some four or five years, aud having been unfortunate in business was latterly much depressed in spirits, He was formerly from Vermont, ond has a brother nuw living in Augusta, Maine, Auxap or tHe Matt.—The steamer Golden Age, with the U.S. Mail and late Eastern papers, arrived at the Bay on Sunday morning. As there was no mail steamer leaving San Francisco on Sunday, J. W, Sullivan, the newspaper dealer, immediately dispatched the Contra Costa ferry boat for Sacramento, with the papers, by which means the people of the nortbern ynines were eupplied with all the Eastern journals one day in advance of the mails, GuayMas TO bE Taken—PropasLy.—By the steamer Uncle Sam we learn that the U. 8, sloop-of-war St. Mary’s had sailed from Acapulco for Guaymas, A rumor was received to the effect that the captain had received orders to take possession of Guaymas and hold the place, in consequence of the treatment of Capt. Stone’s surveying party. Tux Anizonian.—We are indebted to Mr, Mead, of this place, for a copy of the Weekly Arizonian, of Oct. 6th, publ shed at Tueson, in the proposed Territory of Arizonia, Itis about half the size of the Democrat, aad a letter from Ned. McGowan fills one page. It contains seyeral columns of San Francisco advertisements, but from the emall amount of local advertising, we judge that but little business is carried on in the place. It is the only paper in Arizonia. One Foot Less.—A man named O'Connor, who advertised not long since that he would jump off the bank at Niagara Falls, was drowned a day or two before he was to make the leap. He went down to the water to try it by ewimming at the place he proposed to jump, and was drawn under the water by the suction ofa whirlpool. is New Finm.—By a notice in another columa it will be observed that Messrs, A. B. Gregory and 8. W. Boring have entered into a copartnership, and will carry on business at the old f stand of A. B. Gregory, on Main street, TeLeonarnic.—The Herald, Tribune, Times, Journal of Commeree, and Courier and Enquirer, of New York, are making arrangements whereby they will receive full telegraphic reports of the proceedings and speeches of Congress, every day, at an annual eost of $50,000, or $10,000 for each paper. : New Goovs.—Mr. A. G. Pier bas just receivae ed, and is now opening, at his new store, on Ey Commercial street, the largest and best selected stock of Crockery, China and Glass ware ever brought to this market. Goive Home.— Major Dodge, the Indian Agent for Western Utah, passed through Sacramento on Saturday last, on his way to the East, accompanied by Mrs. Shepherd and Mrs. Wright, whose husbands were massacred on the Plains by the Indians, They will proceed to the Western States, where their friends reside.

To ask these questions is . friend of Mr. Broderick, desirous of protecting It was well understood . his honor, and claiming to know something of his political principles, we bave a word to say in regard to the construction which has been given to his language by those who were bis politieal oppunents while he was living. He was opposed to a Congressional Slave Code for the Territories, and opposed to the influence and power of the Federal Government being wielded for the extension of slavery. He was not an admirer of the institution, aod would, under any circumstances, have voted and used bis influence against the introduction of slavery into any State or Territory of which be was a citizen, But be was not in favor of Congress ioual intervention to prohibit slavery in the Territories, where the people desired to estab lish it. On the contrary, he believed in the doctrine of Popular Sovereignty to the fullest extent, Mr. Broderick was 00 doubt impressed with the conviction that bis life was sought for political purposes; but it ix doubtful whether even he was fully aware of all the reasona which controlled the action of those who thirsted for bis blood. He was incorruptible; his sympathies were with the masses; as a leader of the people he possessed all the qualities of a Jackson, and had he lived he would have been the meaus of killing off, politically, a generation of nristocratic demmagogues, who flatter the people but to deceive them. His corrupt political opponents well knew thie; hence he was forced into a bostile meeting with the pieked duelist of the State, PoruLation oy Sackamento,—Cutter & Co., in their Sacramento Directory, just issued, give the white population of this city at 10,794, Classified thus : Males over 21....00.

Since his arrival here on Sunday moruing he bas been visit. ed hy many thousands of people, and the ball of the Trement House leading to bis rooms is corstanily filled with those who desire to see him and have a shake of his baud. No man. since the days of Jackson, has obtained so complete a control of the heart of the people, and the wild enthusiasm which his presence every. where excites shows how thoroughly the sentiment in his favor bas spread itself among the masses, Emigration To OneGon.—The last of the overland emigration to Oregon have arrived at the Dalles of the Columbia, with Capt. Wallen. The Dalles Journal says : It has been ascertained that four hundred and forty-six men, one hundred and fifteen women. one handred and forty-eight children, one handred and eighty-seven wagons, two hundred aud six horses and mules, and one thousand eight hundred and ninety-eight head of cattle have passed over the road into this valley thie season, These emigrants appear to have had remarkable snocess with their stock, ax Captain Wallen has seen the remains of but fifteen or twenty by the roadside. Prxe’s Peak Mives.—The St. Louis Repuhilcan, of Sept. 26th, publishes a statement showing that the total amount of gold received at St. Lonis, from the Pike’s Peak mines, was $73,000. ‘Phis estimate is based on the valuation of $17 to the ounce, which is below the real value, and does not include the amount brought by private individuals, One man, a Mr, Gregory, left Denver City, Ssh eae” y ity, Sept. 14th, with Heavy Drravcation.—Wm, J. Lane, transfer and note clerk of the Fulton Bank, New York. was arrested Sept. 20th, on a charge of embez zling $60,000 from that institution. Several thousand dollarsin the shape of jewelry bestowed upon women, and valuable horses and carriages in private stables, had been reeovered. Scwamrt a Prisonsn.—Advices from Europe state that Schamyl, the brave Cireassian chief, who for many years, at the bead of a handful of mountaineers, has withstood the power of Russia, bas at length been taken prisoner by the Russian troops, and sent to St. Petersburg. INSURANCE aGainst Disnonnsty.—The S. F. Telegram suggests the formation of Ineurance com panies, to insure against loss from the disaw of persons employed in places of public ruet, to whether . says there is a cluster of Boiling springs, situated in bed, the editor . area of ten acres: ————— Tur Pivmas Geysers—The Plumas.

These springs are situated on the head waters of the north fork of Feather River, near Lassen’s Peak, and not far from the burning Mountain. Proonress or THE MeTHopist CauRcH South. —The Methodist Episcopal Church South has made some progress in California during the past year. The net increase of membership has been one hundred and sixty-seven. The Pacific Methodist, in . alluding to this increase, and the prospects of the . Church, says: When it is remembered that we began the year with sixteen hundred new members, many of whom were young and inexperienced, and had to be trained and retained in the church, amid all the disadvantages incident to new fields of labor, inadequately supplied with preachers, this clear gain of 167 souls indicates a healthful condition of the church. The extraordinary political canvass which excited our people beyond anything in our former history, . doubtless had its effect in diverting their minds from the subject of religion. While we are not sae to take the past year's increase as the criterion of future progress, we have cause to feel grateful, and . take courage. Capture ov Horse Tuteves.—Three Span. iards, having in their possession horses which they had stolen in Alameda county, were captured last Thursday evening, near the foot hills of Mount .

Diablo, and oue of their number killed. A pursuing party of six or eight persons came upon them, where they had encamped for the night, called upon them to surrender, when the Spaniards broke for the brush. The pursuing party fired upon them, wounding one, when the other two surrendered. The wounded man died the next day. Honey Lakt Gone In.—W.S. Dean Esq., who has recently returned from Honey Lake Valley, in: forms the Plumas Argus of the astounding fact that Honey Lake is literally dried up. Susan river, a . respectable stream, and as full as usual at this season of the year, fails now to reach the basin of the . lake, sinking into the earth far above it. Immense . quantities of fish have beeen destroyed by the event, and now lie decaying on the deserted bed. It is } remarkable that a lake twenty miles wide and forty miles long should disappear in such a short time. Atrempts TO Burn PetatumMa.—Three attempts have recently been made by incendiaries, to . set fire to the town of Petaluma, but fortunately the fire was discovered on each occasion in time to extinguish it. The Journal says the repeated discovery of such indications ofa determination to fire the town, has provoked a deep feeling among the . citizens, and it will prove a sorry job to the author should he be detected. A Quaker Marnriace.—Volney W. Still and Anna Marria Pearson, Quakers, were married, or rather married each other, at San Francisco, on the 13th inst. The parties went before a Justice of the Peace and declared their intentions to live together as husband and wife, and then signed the marriage certificate. This was all the ceremony. The Quakers regard the marriage as entirely a civil contract. Burnep to DeatH in Witp Oats.—The San Jose Tribune states that a native Californian, or Mexican was burned to death, not long since, in the Santa Cruz mountains, between Gilroy and Pejarro Valley. The wild oats caught fire and enveloped him in the flames. An American had a narrow escape at the same time. Convict Escarep.—On Tuesday evening, the 11th, a convict named W. Smith escaped from a schooner at San Francisco. He was fired at by the guard, but escaped. The next day a suspiciouslooking customer called on Dr, Burns and hada bullet extracted from his shoulder. He is supposed to have been the escaped convict. Discuarcsp.—E. H. Burns, who attempted to swindle the Pioneer Express Co., to the amount of $7,000 or $8,000, was discharged at San Francisco last Thursday, by virtue of a writ of habeas corpus. . No complaint was made against him by Mr. Lang: . ton. A Scamp calling himself V. W. Cleveland, has recently outraged the people of Red Bluffs by departing for some other locality, leaving sundry bills . unpaid, The Beacon says he left for Nevada on a hunting expedition. Ie is after a poker game. MvsicaL.—Madame Biscaccianti, accompanied by a musical troupe, arrived at San Francisco last Thursday, in the steamer Uncle Sam.
