“LOCAL MATTERS,
Coat Miny.—We understand that an extensive coal mine has lately been discovered
near Scott’s Flat, some eight miles above Nevada. It was discovered by Mr. Daniel Collins, of this place, and a company has been organized, called the McConnell Coal Mining Co.,
to work the mine. Our readers will remember
that a tremendous excitement was created in
Nevada, about a year and a half ago, by the reported diseovery of a silver lead near Scott’s
Flat. It appears that what was supposed to
be silver ore is the casing of a coal vein. The
Coal Mining Co. have taken up thirty-six hundred feet on the lead—including the claims of .
the original discoverers of the supposed silver
lead, and running into the claims of the Louisiana Silver Co., on one side, and the claims of
the Gum Boot Co. on the other. Specimens of
the coal taken out, though mixed with slate
rock and casing, are found to burn very well,
and it is believed a good article can be had by
going down on the lead. The lead has not yet
been fairly opened, and of course but little is
known as to its thickness or extent.
Grass Vattey Company.—The Grass
Valley volunteer company was organized yesterday evening, by the electien of J. S. Thayer,
Captain; E.B. Frink, Ist Lieutenant; John .
Slater, 2d Lieutenant. The company roll contains about sixty names, and it is expected that
the remainder will be made up in a few days.
The company will be attached to th Fifth In.
fantry regiment, whose camp is at Marysville,
and a portion of the company started down this
morning. We are informed that Mr. John C. .
Duel, who was principally instrumental in organizing the company, and was defeated for
Captain, has drawn out, and commenced enrolling another company.
Quartz Discovery.—A quartz ledge containing gold and silver, was lately discovered
and taken up by Mr. John McKitrick, near the
head of Fall creek, about fifteen miles from
Washington. A sample of the rock, taken
from the croppings of the ledge, was assayed
by Mr. Jas. J. Ott, of Nevada, and yielded at
the rate of five and a half ounces in precious
metals to the ton—half silver and half gold. .
The ledge isavery heavy one—being some .
twelve feet in thickness, and the owners consider it valuable.
.
Pine Street Brince.—The Town Trus-.
tees have concluded the contract with Mr. A. .
S. Hallidie, for the construction of a wire-sus.
pension bridge at the foot of Pine street, in ac.
cordance with specifications submitted some .
time since tothe Board. The bridge is to be
ten feet higher than the old one, and costs
$9,000. JMr. Hallidie left for San Francisco yesterday morning, to bring up the wire and other
material, and the work is to be commenced immediately.
CHINESE Funerat.—Ah Sing, the Chinaman who was killed by Searls on Monday evening, was buried yesterday afternoon, in accor.
dance with Chinese customs, and with all the
pomp and ceremony his countrymen were able .
to bestow. He was a man of considerable con.
sequence among the Chinese population of .
Nevada. He had lived here some eight years .
spoke English very well, and frequently acted .
as interpreter in our courts.
Associate Jvustices.—A Convention of .
Justices elect of Nevada county, will be held at
the Court House, on Monday next, at two)
o’clock, P. M., for the purpose of electing two
Associate Justices of the Court of Sessions.

Sacnirices REQUIRED BY THE WAR.— .
The war must be a long one, and will require .
from us long sacrifices. It is well to face up to
the fact at once, that this generation is to be
_ compelled to frugality, and that luxurious ex.
penses upon trifles and superfluities must be
changed for the large and liberal costliness of
a noble cause. We are not to expect or hope
for a speedy return of what is called prosperity; .
_ but we are great and abundantly prosperous, .
_ if we succeed in extending and establishing the .
principles which alone can give dignity and .
value to national or individual life, and with.
out which, material abundance, success in trade, .
and increase of wealth are evidences rather of
the decline than of the progress of a state. We, .
who have so long been eager inthe pursuit and .
accumulation of riches, are now to show more
generous energies in the free spending of our .
means to gain the invaluable objects for which .
we have gone to war. There is nothing dis-.
heartening in this prospect. Our people, accustomed as they have been during late years .
_ to the most lavish use of money, and to general .
extravagance in expense, have not yet lost the .
tradition of the economies and thrift of earlier .
times, and will not find it difficult to put them .
once more into practice. The burden will not .
fall upon any single class; and when each man, .
whatever be his station in life, is called upon to
lower his scale of living, no one person will .
find it too hard to do what all others are do.

Sarr Practices oF A‘SHertrr.—The
on Standard relates that ey ee
of that county, lately went to Nevada Territory
to take ch of Mark Gilbert, W. F. Warren
and Peter Cahill, who were arrested last winter
in Honey Lake for the murder of the man Lawson, and who have since been confined in Carson City. Arrived at Virginia City, armed only
with manacles and a county warrant, Chambers
found that the prisoners were likely to be
brought before Judge Mott on a writ of habeas
corpus, and consequently discharged for want
of jurisdiction. Chambers having no requisition
from the Governor of California could not arrest the men in Nevada Territory if once disch ,80 he arranged with Blackburn, the
Territorial Sheriff, to convey the prisoners to
the State line, where the Plumas county warrant would answer all the purposes of a requisition. The plan was carried out at night, the
prisoners taken in charge by the ‘‘cute” Plumas official, and conveyed safely to Quincy,
where they are now in jail, awaiting trial.

Sand’s Sarsaparilla, is alike efficacious
to check incipient malady, and to counteract actual
disease. In cases of scrofula, cutaneous eruptions,
erysipelas, liver complaint, and general debility; it
will speedily purify the blood, remove all unhealthy
secretions, and simultaneously produce a healthy
action of the stomach and bowels, thereby relieving
many complaints arising from a derangement of the
digestive functions. The ingredients composing this
celebrated Remedy being entirely vegetable, no
unpleasant symptoms are left behind after cure.

CERTIFICATES:
READ THE FOLLOWING TESTIMONIALS FROM WELL KNOWN
MininG COMPANIES IN THIS CouNTY.
Grass VaLiey, Aug. 38, 1861.
Messrs. Teray & Invinc:—Gents: J] have been
using your Machine Sewed Hose for some time past,
and . find it works better than any hose I have ever
befure used. J have one hundred and ninety-six feet
pressure, which only the strongest and best made
hose is able to stand. The advantage of Machine
Made Ho-e ia that the seams are more regular than
can be made by hand, thereby giving an equal strain
on all the threads. It is perfectly smooth, and consequently will last longer than that manufactuied by
band. R. Tuomas,
GReEENHORN, Aug. 25, 1861.
Terry & Invine:—Sirs: J was induced to purchase
some of your Machine Sewed Hose in consequence of
it being cheaper than other hose, and after having
used it for eight months, Iam fully satisfied that it
is much more durable than that made by hand. This .
is very easily wecounted for from the fact that the
seams being perfectly straight and smooth there is
leas friction. I shall certainly recommend my friends
to purchase that in preference to any other.
James SOUTHALL,
Quaker Hitt, Aug. 1861.
Messrs, Terky & JnviING:—Gentlemen: In regard
to the durabitity of your Machine Sewed Hose, Ihave
no hesitation in saying that I prefer it to that manufactured by hand, I have been using your hosefor
the past year, andin every particular it has given
entire satisfaction. Jacons & Co,
