The accident bappened about three o'clock oo Saturday morning, when the team was ascending the Goodyear’s Bar Hill, As they were making 4 short turn in the narrowest fore the election, it would appear that bis sym pubbies are with Secessia. It has lately bea asserted that a majority of the regular and volunteer officers on this coast have declared their intention of throwing up their commissions if Denver is appointed to command them, This statement may not be correct, but the fact is unquestioned that there is much opposition to serving uuder injured that his life is dispaired of. Capt Johns was but slightly injured. The Mirror says a secret organization of female spies exists in San Francisco,whose business it is to find out and communicate reliable information to the secessionists. Telegraphic communication with New York will be complete this evening. Dispatches received this forenoon by the Pony to the effect that Conrad Weigand has been removed from the Mint. rred: Judge—Upon what ground do you challenge wae As to his citizenship ttorney—As to hs * jaage ery well, sir, proceed.

A Srony or THE Day.—There is a curious story told concerning one of the prisoners at AARON BarUH and Miss Rosauia Wor, all of Nevada, DIED. In this city, Oct. 21st, Mr. Henry Hicks, aged (8 yews, New Miasiceejust received at the Broad Street Book Store, A. ?.

Missovur.—The last Pony brought but little information relative to affairs in Missouri. A Jefferson City dispatch of the 11th, states that Price was at Jonestown, in Bates floods from crossing the Osage river, and that Lane had routed a detachment of bin rear guard, The same diepatch says there had evidently been @ battle between Lane's or Sigel’s forces and the rebels, but n0 particulars are given. Inptan Froat.—A dispatch to the Marysville papers, of this morning, states that fight recently occurred near the Nome Jult farm, between the settlers of Round Valley and a band of Indians avd Mexicans, One hondred and eight Indians avd two or three Mexicans are reported to have been killed. None of the whitee were injured io the figot. The Indiane, it appears, had been stealing stock from Round Valley, and were followed and overtaken by the settlers, who recovered twenty-eight hogs. Smead Tereorarnic.—Mr. Pattison, the telegraph operator at this place, informs ws that the Eastera division of the Overland telegraph fine is now completed to Salt Lake City, and that the Western division will be completed ia three or four days, By Saturday next, at farthest, the line will be in working order, connecting California by telegraph with the East, Tus Grass Valley Cricketers, who were beaten some time since by the San Francie cans, have challenged them to come te Grass Valley aod play, The latter regret that they cannot accept the challenge before next spring. ———— Tus steamer Orizaba eailed for Panama yesterday.

Buckner wae lately prepared to pounce upon Louiaville, at tbe head of some eight or ten thousand men, aod bis force actually started from Green River, by sailroad for Lewisville. A young Union man, ia the employ of the railroad, ascertained what was golog on, and taking a crowbar pried up tbe railroad track. He bad not left the place when the cars came along avd were thrown from the track. In the confusion which followed, the young man escaped, The expedition was thus detained for a day or two, aod the military authorities of Keotaucky beiug put on their guard, Geo, Buckmer abandoned the project. Ternivie Mistak*.—Io a late advance of several regiments of troops, from Chain Bridge to Falls Church, one of chose terrible mistakes so common io this war, of firing upoo frieuds, occurred among several detachments of the Federal troops. Io the darkness of the night, Col. Owen's Philadelpbia regiment fired a full volley at their friends, killing and wounding a large uumber, Col. Buker’s California regiment, not knewing whence the firing came, returned it with marked effeet. The mistake was 000 discovered, and Owen’s regiment was ordered to fall back to camp. By this mis. take, six men were killed and twe: ty woun. ded, two or three mortally.

Fitth—Postmasters are requested to comply carefully with these orders until further notice. Any neglect therein to be immediately reported to the appointment officer. By order of the Postmaster General. Joun A. Kassen, First Assistant Postmaster General. Dexver’s Letrer.—The following is an extract from the letter of Geo, Denver, written to bis brother, and published in this Stute by secession papers as an electioneerin# document: From present appearances we are to be as tax ridden a people as the aubjecie of Britain. If we cdodeed in getting out of our present difficulties indeed, with as much freedom as is enjoyed by English subjects, we may deem ourdived happy. On every side disasters stare us in the face—a most formidable rebellion, an Executive usurpation of power, a venal and subservient Congress, a pecuniary ruin among the people, and great danger of the free Government given to us by our fathers, being turned Thia letter was written soon after the Bull Run disaster, and it is not at all strange that the volanteers in this State dislike to serve ander the author. The only wonder ie, that a maa who could write the foregoing would aceept of a military appointment from the Government, St, Parrick’s Brorueruoop.—An organi zation of the above name, is thus explained by Mooney's Express : The object of St. Patrick’s Brotherhood, is to unite Irishmen in one purpose and undee one name, having the same by laws, vame objects, aud same days of meeting all over the earth, The purpose is to throw off the manacles which England bas throwa over them; the means, timely and general preparation for the firet * opportunity,” which may come moch sooner than many expect. Any three Irishmen in any part of Catifornia can begin the organization in their own neighborhood, report themselves to the Secretaries here, when further instractions will be given, The voluntary assessment may be whatsoever sum each can readily space. Scrcipe.—A man named Perry Wilson living in the foot-bills of the Coast Rauge, Colusa county, worth $20,900, out of debt and much estagmed, committed suicide recently by shooting himself through the chest from one side to the other, and when found he was lying with his bands folded over his breast, bis face bearing a placid expression, He left a note, upon which a whetstone was laid to prevent it from blowing away, saying: Blame no one for this, I did it myself.’ No reason can be assigned for the rash act, Avpurn Raitnoap Irox,—J. P. Robinson, E-q., the Superintendent of the Sacramento Valley Railroad, recently received and tended as far as the Humboldt, The Inguirer . conveyed upen the ground five hundred and fifty tons of railroadiron for the Folsom and Auburn railroad. About ten miles of this new road has been nicely graded aad is now ready to receive the rails. Fatat Accivent.—John A. Penseim, ma; . ny years aresidentof Butte county, received a fatal injury while mining on the West branch of Feather River, from the effects of which he died on the Lith inst, Risk tn Lanp.—The Stockton Independeat speaks of the sale of a piece of land hear that city for $50 per acre, which could . ayp you no: have been eold ¢ ot meen, welve mouths ago for .

His parents were John and Sarah Sturges, and when kidnapped, he had three brothers and one sister living, namely, William, John, Thomas and, Mary. They . are now scattered, and he is of course anxious to hear from them. EXPENSES OF THE RevoLurioniny WAR. . The entire expenses of the Revo-utionary War were stated in a report of Alexander Hamilton, Secretary of the Treasury, in 1790, to be $135,000,000. The debt which was left for posterity to pay was $75,000,000, The population was . then estimated at three millions; as we have now upwards of thirty millions, a debt of $750,000,000 would be in the same proportion. But the wealth and productive resources of the country have increased vastly beyond the ratio of population increase. Therefore, a debt of a thousand millions upon the country now would not be so onerous as was the seventy-five millions at the close of the Revolution, Tue inhabitants on the wiles of North Caroport had been by their trade with the North, are thoroughly sick of the war. Feeling that secession had been precipitated upon the State against the wishes of her people, they are eager for the overthrow of the spurious government. The suffering of the poor and the demoralization of the currency add to the feelings of discontent. Union meetings have been held, at which influential citizens attended, and it has been agreed to offer no resistance to the Federal troops. Dr. Hayes’ Porar Exprpition.—This expedition, which sailed early last year in search of an open Polar sea, returned to Halifax on the 9th of this month. A dispatch says the party are all well, two having died, namely: Augustus Lentus, the astronomer, and Gibson Caruthy, of Mass. Dr. Hayes reached Smith's Straits in August last year, but could not penetrate the Straits with his vessel either last season or this. He wintered at Port Foulk, near Alexandria, and with dogs and sleds reached latitude 81 degrees 35 minutes, May 18th, this year. Home or Tie Conpor.—-An acquaintance of the editor of the San Francisco Journal, relates that on a high mountain, coastward, condors have been seen, and one of them, of huge proportions, has been killed. Persons residing carry off young deer, and even young bears; . and on one occasion, a hunter Lovin killed . and hung up a deer, returned the next i and . found the carcass nearly devoured by the pred. atory monsters.
