Meeting of the Central Committee, The members of the Democratic Central Committee of Nevada county, are requested to meet at the office of the undersigned, in Nevada, on Saturday next, Sept. 22d, at two o’clock, P.M. Business of importance will be brought before the Committee, and a punctual attendance of all the members is requested. J. I, CALDWELL, Chairman, Nevada, Sept. 18th, 1860. Tar Vore or Nevins CouNTT The Marysville Appeal says the Democrat admits tbat the friends of Douglas are in a minority in Nevada county. We have never pretended that Douglas would have o majority over all the other candidates in this county, but in no instance have we intimated that he would be behind either one of them. The vote of Nevada county, at the noxt election, will be about 7,000 ; and from present appearances Douglas will get 3,000; Bell and Everett about 400, while the balance will be about equally divided between Breckinridge and Lincoln. Should Mr. Breckinridge withdraw in time for the news to reach California, these figures would have to be considerably modtfied; bat in any event Douglas will have 1,000 majority over whichever of his opponents gets the largest vote in the county. We advise those who may be disposed to smile at the above estimate, to put away this paragraph, and keep it until after the election. We have pretty good opportanities of judging of the feeling in this county, and have reliable data for the above estimate, Quartz Crusuinc.—Mr. Soggs, Superintendent of the Nevada Quartz Mining Company, has farnished us some items relative to the quartz crushed at their mill during the past year. The total amount of rock crushed from Sept. lat, 1859, to Sept, Ist, 1860, was 2,942 tons, which yielded $52,158 88, being a fraction over $17 4 ton. Three months time was lost during the year, while the company were engaged in erecting a new mill, The total cost of mining the tock, inéluding cost of timbers, running tunnels and “shoots,’’ has been about six dollars to the ton, There are now over 3,000 feet of tunnels open on the ledge. The new mill has a crushing capacity of from twenty-two to twenty-four tons a day, and water being substituted for steam as the motive power, the cost of running it is $1,000 a month less than that of the old mill. The company now have seventeen hands at work getting out rock, besides ten others working on contract, in running tunnels. Dgaty or an Ovv Orrmen.-Mr. P. G. Womack, for many years an esteemed and respected citizen of Nevada, died at the residence of his son, in Grass Valley, on Monday last. Mr. Womack came to Nevada with his family in 1850, and resided here until the fall of 1857, when he purchased a ranch below Grass Valley, where he has latterly madehishome. Straightforward and honorable in all bis business transactions and dealings, ho enjoyed in the highest degree the respect and confidence of all who knew him, and his death bas cast a gloom over this community where he was so well known and appreciated. He had been in ill health for & year or more, but was able to attend to business until some time last spring, when he was stricken. down with paralysis, and never rooov. ered from the shock. He leaves a wife and large family of children to mourn his loss. Dove.as anv Jounson OLvs.—At a meeting of the Democracy of North Bloomfield, held on Saturday evening last, a Club, styled the “Bloomfield Douglas and Johnson Club, No. 1,” was organized, and a constitution and by-laws adopted. The following permanent officers were elected: President—I, H. Mitchell; Vice Presidents—Jas. Marriott and Wm. Favorite ; Recording Secretary—A. J. Enders; Corresponding Secretary—G. P. Rotchford; Treasurer—R. D. Skidmore. The Club meetings are held on Saturday evening of each week. Waauns on Kenrucxy.—A Kentucky gentleman of means offers the following wagers through the columns of the Nicholasville (Ky.) Democrat: That Breckinridge will be beaten in November in. his own ward, city, precinct, county, district and State. The wager is one hundred dollars on each of them. Heavy Cnor.—The officers of the Illinois ntral Railroad, who have excellent facilities of Illinois this year will exceed one hundred Ap vor r1# Pors.—The collections in various Catholic churches in the Diooese of New York, for the benefit of the Pope, amounti e had the car osity to make estimates, from the census returns that have been published, and are satisfied that the population of , the State does not exceed 400,000, and is likely to fall considerably short of that namber. We have seen the census returns, as published in the local papers, from eleven counties, which are as fullows : Nevada seeeoersiseeeeee +»16,414 Humboldt.+.ssssesecscerecsees 2 Marin (including 539 convicts).

In all probability the complete census returos will give the State a population of between 360,000 and 375,000; though it may possibly come up to 400,000. Many wild estimates have been put afloat in the papers relative to the population of the State. The San Francisco papers, for instance, have been claiming for the past year or two, a population of 100,000 for that city; bat from statements lately made by the census takers it appears that the number will not much exceed 60,000, Tux Orraon Leaisiatune,—A. dispatch from Yreka, states that the Oregon Legislature met at Salem, on Monday, Sept. 10th. The House was organized by electing Ben. T. Hardin, Douglas Democrat, Speaker, and T, McPatton, Republican, Clerk. The organization of the House was regarded by the Breckinridge members as an indication that a Douglas-Republican coalition had been formed to elect Col. Baker and J, W. Nesmith to the U. 8, Senate, and six of the Breckinridge: Senators absconded from Salem the next morning, leaving the Senate without a quorum todo business, The Sergeant-at-Arms, a Douglas Democrat, had been sent after the absconding Senators, An attempt will be made to break a quorum in the House, butitis said there are not enough Breckinridge. men in that body to doit, and the want of a quorum in the Senate will not necessarily prevent an election. Col. Baker has been nominated for the Senate by the Republican members, and will undoubtedly be elected, if any election is had. Stare Treasury.—The cash in the State Treasury, at the close of business hours on Saturday last, amounted to $203,895 60, of which amount only $3,484 44 belonged to the general fund—not enough to pay the salarics due the State officers on the first of October. During the month of October payments will be made by a number of the County Treasurers, which will probably amount to eoough to pay the current expenses of the State up to the first of January. When the last Legislature met, there was about $800,000 in cash in the State Treasury, which, together with the revenue since collected, bas been disposed of in some way, and there is not likely to be-a dollar on hand when the next Legislature convenes, Cacironnis Proneers,—The tenth anniversary of the admission of California into the Union was celebrated by the California Pioneers, at San Francisco, on the 10th inst. The address was delivered by Edmund Randolph, and is a very lengthy and valuable production. It gives a complete history of California from the first setilement of the country by the Catholic Missionaries, in 1769, down to'the discovery of the gold mines, The address will doubtless be poblished in pamphlet form, avd should be read by every Californian who takes any interest in the early history of the State. ene ne oe Tae Sicnor Fanini, who is endeavoring to eclipse Blondin at Niagara, was born at Lockport some years ago, and was there christened by the quite respectable, but not particularly romantic, name of William Hunt. He was always a harum scarum sort of a chap, and will probably come to the same end that befel one Samuel Patch, another harum scarum fellow. Proxtes.—The whole number of votes in the Breckinridge State Convention was 354, of which 97 were cast by proxies. In addition to these, several of the distant counties were represented by Federal officers living in San Francisco. The people certainly took but little interest in that Convention. Ir is generally conceded that the accomplished Lane will secure neither his native State, nor the State of bis residence. The Augost election shows conclusively that Breckinridge cannot carry Kentucky. Douglas never yet failed to carry Illinois, and will not in November next, Rurus Suoemaxer.—We notice that Rufus Shoemaker, formerly County Clerk of Nevada, is now engaged in the importing business, at Port Gibson, Mississippi. He is Secretary of the ‘Congo Olub ;” the object of the Club is to import niggers direct from the coast of Africa. WE are indebted to Hon, Miles Taylor, chairman of the National Democratic Executive Committee, for several copies of the epeech of Senator Douglas in favor of the Pacific Railroe delivered in the U.S. Senate, April 17th, State Farr.—The Annual Fair of the State Agricultural Society, opens to-day at Sacramento. Quite. a number of our citizens have satgon 4 left to be in attendance, and many others will go down in the course of the weal Grass Vaursy.—We understand that a Democratic Clab was organized at Grass Valley last Saturday evening. Jas. K. Byrne Hsqg., was elected President, and over # hundred persons signed the roll'as members at the first moeting.

A letter published from San Antonio. says that two incendiaries were arrested at Henderson and lynched. Large ‘quantities of poison were.found onthe negroes for the understood ar of poisoning the wells and food of the ohabitante, The loss of poner, by fire in Texas is said to reach $3,000,000. Twenty persons have been hanged. Alexander H. Stephens, in his speech at Atlanta, Ga., defended Douglas against the charge that be would not yield to the decision of the Supreme Court, and said that Douglas — with every principle decided in the Dred Scott case. Mr. Stephens dwelt upon the Union and the importance of its being preserved. He did not rank Mr. Breckinridge as a disunionist, but his running endangers the Union. Foreign News. The steamshio Palestine brings dates from Liverpool to August 23d. Garibaldi hes landed in Calabria. A telegram from Paris announces a serious disturbance in Basilicotta. Several corps of Garibaldian troops had Janded and met with euccess, The London Daily News confirms the announcement that the Calabriane are in open revolution against the King of Naples and in favor of Garibaldi, The London Times says that a Sardinian frigate arrived at Cairoon August 12th. with imortant news for Garibaldi, who immediately lensed an order of the day stating that he was obliged to leave fora few days. The event is supposed to have a peaceful meaning. Advices from Constantinople to 8th August state that twenty churches and two convents were burned at Beyroot. During the disturbance more christians were murdered and women outraged, The Musselman population of Damascus, as late as July 28th, maintained a menacing attitude. The troops dispatched from Beyroot had not arrived. The French Government has abandoned the idea of raising Spain to the rank of a4 great power for the present. Tur Dry Goovs Minitoname.—A. T. Stewart, the great dry goods dealer of New York city, has accumulated a larger fortune than was ever made by any other man in the United States. He is now said to be worth $20,000,000, which is more than either Girard or Astor were worth at the time of their death. It is somewhat remarkable that the three men who accumulated the largest fortunes in America were foreigners, and each landed on the western continent without a dollar. Girard was born in France, came to the United States when quite young as cabin boy in a ship, lived to the age of 92, and was worth thirteen millions at the time of his death. Astor was a native of Germany, worked his patsage to New York at the age of 20 years, died at 90, leaving property valued at about fifteen millions, Stewart was born in Ireland, landed iu New York forty yearsago, andis now 64 years of age. The profits of his business amount to $800,600 a year, his income from investments in real estate is not less than $1,000,000 a year, and should be live to the age of Girard and Astor, he will doubtless be worth over $100,000,000, whieh is porbaps o larger fortune than was ever accumulated by one man in any legitimate business, Ganripaipt ANp Victor Emanugn.—The King of Sardinia bas written a letter to Garibaldi, advising bim to confine his operations to the Island of Sicily, and to give up bis project of attacking the mainland, To this letter, Garibaldi returned the following answer: Srre—You well know what profound respect and devotedness I entertain for your Majesty, and it is painful to me not to be able to obey you, as I could wish; but the present situation of Italy does not allow me to hesitate—the people call on me, and I should fail in my duty, and compromise the Italian cause, if I did not listen to their voice. Allow me, therefore, this time to act contrary to your orders. When I shall have fulfilled my ‘mission, and relieved the people from the yoke which oppresses them, I will laymy sword at your feet, and will obey you for the remainder of my life. Notwithstnnding this seeming difference, it is the general impression that Garibaldi’e acts ac cord with the wishes of Victor Emanuel, aud that there isa secret understanding between them to that effect. The grand idea of Garibaldi is to unite Italy into one government, ander Victor Emanuel; and it is not likely that the Sardinian government will interpose any obstacle in the accomplishment of this project. Houston 1x New Yorx.—The Houston party of New York, a very respectable and select association, met ia New York city, in mass convention, on Saturday evening, August 18tb, to nominate candidates for State Electors, A committee was appointed who reported the names of thirty-five gentlemen as candidates for Electore, and to the list of names added the feiigming elaborate address, which was adopted: To the Electors of the State of New York: FeLtow Citizens: The People’s Houston State Oommittee present tho ahove ticket of Electors, to be supported by the electors of New York State without distinction of party. The candidates of the People are General Sam Houston of Texas for President, and Commodore Robert F. Stockton of New Jersey, for Vice President. They are known to the whole country by their character and services. With confidence in your patriotism and judgment, we earnestly recommend this Electoral ticket to a support of every independent voter in our tate. Srare Execrions.—An election was held in Vermont for State officers, Sept. 4th, and in Maine, on the 10th. State elections are yet to be held before the Presidential election in November, as follows: In Georgia, Mississippi, and Florida, Oct. 1st; in South Carolina, Oct. 8th; in Pennsylvania, Obio, Indiana, Minnesota and Iowa, Oct. 9th. The Presidential election is held io all the States on T ° ade uesday, Novem Tus Trura Brierty Spoxen,—The Charleston (S.

The body had been buried very near the surface, and was disinterred by hogs. He had undoubtedly been murdered, and is supposed to have been one of three men who were there some two months ago. Two of these men were seen to leave about that timer riding their own horses and leading another. The night before, about twelve o’clock, they were trying to borrow a pick and shovel. Gratw—The Stockton Democrat is informed that on both sides ofthe Sonora road, between Stockton and the Marietta House, is one continuous suceession of grain fields, in every one of which are stacked up for market thousands of bags of grain. The farmers of California, if not favored with remarkably high prices for the products of their grain fields this year, are blessed with an abundance that more than compensates for the comparatively low prices of their products. Po.iticaL MeetTincG.—A large mass meeting was held at Oro Fino, Siskiyou county, on Saturday last—most of the voters of that part of the county being present. A Douglas pole was erected, and the meeting was addressed by D. D. Colton and Mr. Oliver. After the speaking, a vote was taken, the result showing five to one in favor of Douglas over all other candidates combined. SuHooTinG.—On the 10th inst., near Petaluma, two men named John Linus and Charles Jefferson had a dispute about the title to some property which ended by Linus drawing a revolver and shooting the other. The ball entered the left side, passed through the body and lodged in the right side, from whence it was extracted. The wounded man is likely to recover. BLASTING ACCIDENT. While the laborers were employed in blasting cement in the railroad cut at Lincoln, on Thursday last, a premature discharge took place by which two men, named Morris and Smith, were seriously injured. The Placer Herald is informed that Morris was terribly mangled, and cannot survive. Smith, although much hurt, will recover. BreckinripGe Siatz Convention.—This body met at Sacramento on the 11th inst. About one-third of the votes in the Convention were cast by proxies, and three or four counties were unrepresented. Ex-Gov. Weller presided, and Zack. Montgomery, Vincent E. Geiger, Antonia F. Coronel and Allen P. Dudley were nominated for Electors. PorpuLaTIon oF SonoMA— The complete census returns of five townships of Sonoma county, give a population of 7,143; the population of the other six townships is estimated by the Sonoma Demoerat at 6,100—making the total population of the county 13,248—being an increase of about five fold since the State census was taken in 1852. Pracen County.—The Grand Jury of Placer county convened onthe 10th inst. The charges against the prisoners awaiting their action, were as follows: Stage robbery, 4; highway robbery, 1; attempt to commit grand larceny, 3; grand larceny, 8; burglary, 4. Of this number, five are escaped convicts, A DANGEROUS PLAYTHING.—A few days since, a little child of Mr. Hiller, of Martinez, carried into the house a live tarantula, holding it by one leg, which he had found while playing in the garden, a few steps from the door, Fortunately he was not bitten by the venomous insect he had innocently captured. San Dizco Copper MinEs.—A correspondent of the Alta says that the copper mines near Fort Yuma will be opened soon by a large force, under the direction of a Connecticut company. Recent assays made from specimens taken from this mine give over eighty per cent pure copper, with traces of gold and silver. Bett AND Everstrin SoLano.-Mr, J.B. Frisbie, of Vallejo, has declared for Bell and Everett, and will stump the county in behalf of the Union party. Mr, Frisbie isa good speaker, and has many friends in Solano who will listen to him with attention, and then vote for whom they please. Newspaper Cuanoe—The Mariposa Star office has been sold to the Douglas men, and the last number of that paper has been issued. A new paper, to be called the Mariposa News, and which will support Douglas, is shortly to be issued. Hicguway Ropyery.—-On Tuesday the Lith inst., Mr. T. H, Cunningham, while going from Chile Camp to Jenny Lind, in Calaveras county, was sto on the road by three men, and robbed of p50 . Burrs County.—tThe valuation of taxable property in Butte county, for 1860, is $3,926,861. The assessed valuation of property in Butte has been decreasing since 1857, owing to the depreciation of the value of stock. Tue citizens of Dutch Flat and Little York, have it in contemplation to connect the counties of Placer and Nevada by a wagon road across Bear river. The road is much needed. STaBBING.-Thomas Johns stabbed Wm. Hart at Horse Shoe Bar, on the middle fork of the American river, one day last week, inflicting a dangerous wound. Contra Costa —The total valuation of taxable property in Contra Costa county, for 1860, is $2,220,085—being $105,540 less than the valuation for 1859. THs skeleton of an alligator, eleven feet in length was recently found by some workmen engaged in the excavation of a cellar, at Black Point near SanFrancisco.

ARRIVALS BY THE Uncts SaM.—Among the arrivals from the East by Uncle Sam, were J.C. ye. J. J. Musser, P. Della Torre, and Rev. ; a Tae Horrest Dax.—Sunday last test day of the season at San Francisco. The thermometer stood at. 96 deg. in the shade, at 10 a. x. Tere are no less'than 288 lawyers and 189 phy‘sicians in San Francisco, ‘tin 1856; and the chances are two to one that she The Breckinridge Democrats of Ohio, in State Cohvention:at Columbus, adjourned without nominating a State ticket. Reason: Not Breckinrid men enough in the State to make it worth while. The Union ladies of the interior of Kentucky are having Bell and Everett printed on their bonnet strings. Another strange) rumor is, that the Republican ladies of the West are having pictures of Abe Lincoln on their bonnet strings, as an offset to theif sisters of Kentucky. Contrasts heighten the effect of beauty. gto A Breckinridge paper says that Buchanan has no with infinitely more truth be said that he has no friends except those he has bought. The Richmond (Va.) Whig insists that the Douglas Democrats out-number the supporters of Breck. inridge in that city, and says that the preponderence is constantly increasing. } The fact that Hon. A. H. Stephensof Georgia, . has not taken the stump for Douglas, is ‘owing to . the bad state of his health. He is firm for the regular candidates, and will publicly advocate their cause as soon as he is well enough to do so. It has been ascertained that upwards of 1,600 . Democratic papers inthe United States support . Douglas and Johnson. Some 40 Democratic pa. pers in the free States support Breckinridge and . Lane, and about 100 inthe slave States, making . 140 in all. Gov, Letcher, of Virginia, has come out for rte Hunter, Mason and Wise are for Breck. inridge. Gen. Leslie Coombs, who was lately elected Clerk of the Kentucky Court of Appeals, has addressed a . letter to the editors.of the Louisville Journal, in . which he says: Profonndly grateful as I am to Providence and . the people for making me the instrument of politi. cal redemption, I ask leave to say a single word to j ou. The patriotic National Union Democracy ave co-operated with us most manfully, and we must hereafter consider them as brethren. We can all stand on the platform of 1852, recognizing . the Compromise of 1850. Hereafter go for the Union, the Constitution, and the enforcement of . the Laws. There need be no question for criticism . as to the past, but perfect harmony in combating . the common enemy hereafter—i' e., both sectional . parties. I hope the Press on both sides will take . this ground. e Yancey-Breckinridge Disunionists have only feceived their first rebuke-mild and . gentle compared to the future. ‘They are doomed. “T am one of the last survivors of a race of men,” &c—[Buchanan’s letter to the New York Breckinridge meeting. More welcome news could not be imparted to the nation. A day of general thanksgiving should at once be appointed—especiall in yiew ofthe fact that J. B. is a bachelor, and the “‘race” is therefore certain to die out with him. CotorEp Loxatty.—The colored people of Toronto have held a meeting and decided to express their luyalty to the head of their adopted country, by ah wddress to the Prince of Wales. The resolutions adopted by the dusky refugees are rather singularly worded. They are as follows: Resolved, That appreciating as we do, the'visit of the Prince of Wales to this and other parts of the British dominions, wedo with all loyalty to our Sovereign Lady the Queen, as a free people escaped from slavery, deem it our duty to appoint a Com. mittee to wait upon his Royal Highness, and present him with a stitable address, such as would be creditable to ourselves and those connected with us . at large. Resolved, ‘That as freemen we ate willing to show . all classes in this noble Province, that we will not be behind them in coming forward to show our . Queen’s Representative, the Prince of Wales, all . the loyalty we can possibly bestow. Resolved, That if Her Majesty, the Queen, from invasion, or rebellion, or otherwise, should require the services of the colored inhabitants of British . Provinees, we will be ready to assist, with our fellow inhabitants, in maintaining the integrity of the mother Country both at home and abroad. } An Otp Resipent.—Mr. Douglas, a census agent of this county, says the Stockton Republican, . discovered during his investigations at one house . in this city, a Mexican citizen who was born in . March, 157. He is poaseaien Uy now 103 years . of age. ‘The Senor frequently passes our office, and . walks as firmly as a man of sixty.

Meeting of the Central Committee, The members of the Democratic Central Committee of Nevada county, are requested to meet at the office of the undersigned, in Nevada, on Saturday next, Sept. 22d, at two o’clock, P.M. Business of importance will be brought before the Committee, and a punctual attendance of all the members is requested. J. I, CALDWELL, Chairman, Nevada, Sept. 18th, 1860. Tar Vore or Nevins CouNTT The Marysville Appeal says the Democrat admits tbat the friends of Douglas are in a minority in Nevada county. We have never pretended that Douglas would have o majority over all the other candidates in this county, but in no instance have we intimated that he would be behind either one of them. The vote of Nevada county, at the noxt election, will be about 7,000 ; and from present appearances Douglas will get 3,000; Bell and Everett about 400, while the balance will be about equally divided between Breckinridge and Lincoln. Should Mr. Breckinridge withdraw in time for the news to reach California, these figures would have to be considerably modtfied; bat in any event Douglas will have 1,000 majority over whichever of his opponents gets the largest vote in the county. We advise those who may be disposed to smile at the above estimate, to put away this paragraph, and keep it until after the election. We have pretty good opportanities of judging of the feeling in this county, and have reliable data for the above estimate, Quartz Crusuinc.—Mr. Soggs, Superintendent of the Nevada Quartz Mining Company, has farnished us some items relative to the quartz crushed at their mill during the past year. The total amount of rock crushed from Sept. lat, 1859, to Sept, Ist, 1860, was 2,942 tons, which yielded $52,158 88, being a fraction over $17 4 ton. Three months time was lost during the year, while the company were engaged in erecting a new mill, The total cost of mining the tock, inéluding cost of timbers, running tunnels and “shoots,’’ has been about six dollars to the ton, There are now over 3,000 feet of tunnels open on the ledge. The new mill has a crushing capacity of from twenty-two to twenty-four tons a day, and water being substituted for steam as the motive power, the cost of running it is $1,000 a month less than that of the old mill. The company now have seventeen hands at work getting out rock, besides ten others working on contract, in running tunnels. Dgaty or an Ovv Orrmen.-Mr. P. G. Womack, for many years an esteemed and respected citizen of Nevada, died at the residence of his son, in Grass Valley, on Monday last. Mr. Womack came to Nevada with his family in 1850, and resided here until the fall of 1857, when he purchased a ranch below Grass Valley, where he has latterly madehishome. Straightforward and honorable in all bis business transactions and dealings, ho enjoyed in the highest degree the respect and confidence of all who knew him, and his death bas cast a gloom over this community where he was so well known and appreciated. He had been in ill health for & year or more, but was able to attend to business until some time last spring, when he was stricken. down with paralysis, and never rooov. ered from the shock. He leaves a wife and large family of children to mourn his loss. Dove.as anv Jounson OLvs.—At a meeting of the Democracy of North Bloomfield, held on Saturday evening last, a Club, styled the “Bloomfield Douglas and Johnson Club, No. 1,” was organized, and a constitution and by-laws adopted. The following permanent officers were elected: President—I, H. Mitchell; Vice Presidents—Jas. Marriott and Wm. Favorite ; Recording Secretary—A. J. Enders; Corresponding Secretary—G. P. Rotchford; Treasurer—R. D. Skidmore. The Club meetings are held on Saturday evening of each week. Waauns on Kenrucxy.—A Kentucky gentleman of means offers the following wagers through the columns of the Nicholasville (Ky.) Democrat: That Breckinridge will be beaten in November in. his own ward, city, precinct, county, district and State. The wager is one hundred dollars on each of them. Heavy Cnor.—The officers of the Illinois ntral Railroad, who have excellent facilities of Illinois this year will exceed one hundred Ap vor r1# Pors.—The collections in various Catholic churches in the Diooese of New York, for the benefit of the Pope, amounti e had the car osity to make estimates, from the census returns that have been published, and are satisfied that the population of , the State does not exceed 400,000, and is likely to fall considerably short of that namber. We have seen the census returns, as published in the local papers, from eleven counties, which are as fullows : Nevada seeeoersiseeeeee +»16,414 Humboldt.+.ssssesecscerecsees 2 Marin (including 539 convicts).

In all probability the complete census returos will give the State a population of between 360,000 and 375,000; though it may possibly come up to 400,000. Many wild estimates have been put afloat in the papers relative to the population of the State. The San Francisco papers, for instance, have been claiming for the past year or two, a population of 100,000 for that city; bat from statements lately made by the census takers it appears that the number will not much exceed 60,000, Tux Orraon Leaisiatune,—A. dispatch from Yreka, states that the Oregon Legislature met at Salem, on Monday, Sept. 10th. The House was organized by electing Ben. T. Hardin, Douglas Democrat, Speaker, and T, McPatton, Republican, Clerk. The organization of the House was regarded by the Breckinridge members as an indication that a Douglas-Republican coalition had been formed to elect Col. Baker and J, W. Nesmith to the U. 8, Senate, and six of the Breckinridge: Senators absconded from Salem the next morning, leaving the Senate without a quorum todo business, The Sergeant-at-Arms, a Douglas Democrat, had been sent after the absconding Senators, An attempt will be made to break a quorum in the House, butitis said there are not enough Breckinridge. men in that body to doit, and the want of a quorum in the Senate will not necessarily prevent an election. Col. Baker has been nominated for the Senate by the Republican members, and will undoubtedly be elected, if any election is had. Stare Treasury.—The cash in the State Treasury, at the close of business hours on Saturday last, amounted to $203,895 60, of which amount only $3,484 44 belonged to the general fund—not enough to pay the salarics due the State officers on the first of October. During the month of October payments will be made by a number of the County Treasurers, which will probably amount to eoough to pay the current expenses of the State up to the first of January. When the last Legislature met, there was about $800,000 in cash in the State Treasury, which, together with the revenue since collected, bas been disposed of in some way, and there is not likely to be-a dollar on hand when the next Legislature convenes, Cacironnis Proneers,—The tenth anniversary of the admission of California into the Union was celebrated by the California Pioneers, at San Francisco, on the 10th inst. The address was delivered by Edmund Randolph, and is a very lengthy and valuable production. It gives a complete history of California from the first setilement of the country by the Catholic Missionaries, in 1769, down to'the discovery of the gold mines, The address will doubtless be poblished in pamphlet form, avd should be read by every Californian who takes any interest in the early history of the State. ene ne oe Tae Sicnor Fanini, who is endeavoring to eclipse Blondin at Niagara, was born at Lockport some years ago, and was there christened by the quite respectable, but not particularly romantic, name of William Hunt. He was always a harum scarum sort of a chap, and will probably come to the same end that befel one Samuel Patch, another harum scarum fellow. Proxtes.—The whole number of votes in the Breckinridge State Convention was 354, of which 97 were cast by proxies. In addition to these, several of the distant counties were represented by Federal officers living in San Francisco. The people certainly took but little interest in that Convention. Ir is generally conceded that the accomplished Lane will secure neither his native State, nor the State of bis residence. The Augost election shows conclusively that Breckinridge cannot carry Kentucky. Douglas never yet failed to carry Illinois, and will not in November next, Rurus Suoemaxer.—We notice that Rufus Shoemaker, formerly County Clerk of Nevada, is now engaged in the importing business, at Port Gibson, Mississippi. He is Secretary of the ‘Congo Olub ;” the object of the Club is to import niggers direct from the coast of Africa. WE are indebted to Hon, Miles Taylor, chairman of the National Democratic Executive Committee, for several copies of the epeech of Senator Douglas in favor of the Pacific Railroe delivered in the U.S. Senate, April 17th, State Farr.—The Annual Fair of the State Agricultural Society, opens to-day at Sacramento. Quite. a number of our citizens have satgon 4 left to be in attendance, and many others will go down in the course of the weal Grass Vaursy.—We understand that a Democratic Clab was organized at Grass Valley last Saturday evening. Jas. K. Byrne Hsqg., was elected President, and over # hundred persons signed the roll'as members at the first moeting.

Twenty persons have been hanged. Alexander H. Stephens, in his speech at Atlanta, Ga., defended Douglas against the charge that be would not yield to the decision of the Supreme Court, and said that Douglas — with every principle decided in the Dred Scott case. Mr. Stephens dwelt upon the Union and the importance of its being preserved. He did not rank Mr. Breckinridge as a disunionist, but his running endangers the Union. Foreign News. The steamshio Palestine brings dates from Liverpool to August 23d. Garibaldi hes landed in Calabria. A telegram from Paris announces a serious disturbance in Basilicotta. Several corps of Garibaldian troops had Janded and met with euccess, The London Daily News confirms the announcement that the Calabriane are in open revolution against the King of Naples and in favor of Garibaldi, The London Times says that a Sardinian frigate arrived at Cairoon August 12th. with imortant news for Garibaldi, who immediately lensed an order of the day stating that he was obliged to leave fora few days. The event is supposed to have a peaceful meaning. Advices from Constantinople to 8th August state that twenty churches and two convents were burned at Beyroot. During the disturbance more christians were murdered and women outraged, The Musselman population of Damascus, as late as July 28th, maintained a menacing attitude. The troops dispatched from Beyroot had not arrived. The French Government has abandoned the idea of raising Spain to the rank of a4 great power for the present. Tur Dry Goovs Minitoname.—A. T. Stewart, the great dry goods dealer of New York city, has accumulated a larger fortune than was ever made by any other man in the United States. He is now said to be worth $20,000,000, which is more than either Girard or Astor were worth at the time of their death. It is somewhat remarkable that the three men who accumulated the largest fortunes in America were foreigners, and each landed on the western continent without a dollar. Girard was born in France, came to the United States when quite young as cabin boy in a ship, lived to the age of 92, and was worth thirteen millions at the time of his death. Astor was a native of Germany, worked his patsage to New York at the age of 20 years, died at 90, leaving property valued at about fifteen millions, Stewart was born in Ireland, landed iu New York forty yearsago, andis now 64 years of age. The profits of his business amount to $800,600 a year, his income from investments in real estate is not less than $1,000,000 a year, and should be live to the age of Girard and Astor, he will doubtless be worth over $100,000,000, whieh is porbaps o larger fortune than was ever accumulated by one man in any legitimate business, Ganripaipt ANp Victor Emanugn.—The King of Sardinia bas written a letter to Garibaldi, advising bim to confine his operations to the Island of Sicily, and to give up bis project of attacking the mainland, To this letter, Garibaldi returned the following answer: Srre—You well know what profound respect and devotedness I entertain for your Majesty, and it is painful to me not to be able to obey you, as I could wish; but the present situation of Italy does not allow me to hesitate—the people call on me, and I should fail in my duty, and compromise the Italian cause, if I did not listen to their voice. Allow me, therefore, this time to act contrary to your orders. When I shall have fulfilled my ‘mission, and relieved the people from the yoke which oppresses them, I will laymy sword at your feet, and will obey you for the remainder of my life. Notwithstnnding this seeming difference, it is the general impression that Garibaldi’e acts ac cord with the wishes of Victor Emanuel, aud that there isa secret understanding between them to that effect. The grand idea of Garibaldi is to unite Italy into one government, ander Victor Emanuel; and it is not likely that the Sardinian government will interpose any obstacle in the accomplishment of this project. Houston 1x New Yorx.—The Houston party of New York, a very respectable and select association, met ia New York city, in mass convention, on Saturday evening, August 18tb, to nominate candidates for State Electors, A committee was appointed who reported the names of thirty-five gentlemen as candidates for Electore, and to the list of names added the feiigming elaborate address, which was adopted: To the Electors of the State of New York: FeLtow Citizens: The People’s Houston State Oommittee present tho ahove ticket of Electors, to be supported by the electors of New York State without distinction of party. The candidates of the People are General Sam Houston of Texas for President, and Commodore Robert F. Stockton of New Jersey, for Vice President. They are known to the whole country by their character and services. With confidence in your patriotism and judgment, we earnestly recommend this Electoral ticket to a support of every independent voter in our tate. Srare Execrions.—An election was held in Vermont for State officers, Sept. 4th, and in Maine, on the 10th. State elections are yet to be held before the Presidential election in November, as follows: In Georgia, Mississippi, and Florida, Oct. 1st; in South Carolina, Oct. 8th; in Pennsylvania, Obio, Indiana, Minnesota and Iowa, Oct. 9th.

The body had been buried very near the surface, and was disinterred by hogs. He had undoubtedly been murdered, and is supposed to have been one of three men who were there some two months ago. Two of these men were seen to leave about that timer riding their own horses and leading another. The night before, about twelve o’clock, they were trying to borrow a pick and shovel. Gratw—The Stockton Democrat is informed that on both sides ofthe Sonora road, between Stockton and the Marietta House, is one continuous suceession of grain fields, in every one of which are stacked up for market thousands of bags of grain. The farmers of California, if not favored with remarkably high prices for the products of their grain fields this year, are blessed with an abundance that more than compensates for the comparatively low prices of their products. Po.iticaL MeetTincG.—A large mass meeting was held at Oro Fino, Siskiyou county, on Saturday last—most of the voters of that part of the county being present. A Douglas pole was erected, and the meeting was addressed by D. D. Colton and Mr. Oliver. After the speaking, a vote was taken, the result showing five to one in favor of Douglas over all other candidates combined. SuHooTinG.—On the 10th inst., near Petaluma, two men named John Linus and Charles Jefferson had a dispute about the title to some property which ended by Linus drawing a revolver and shooting the

other. The ball entered the left side, passed through the body and lodged in the right side, from whence it was extracted. The wounded man is likely to recover. BLASTING ACCIDENT. While the laborers were employed in blasting cement in the railroad cut at Lincoln, on Thursday last, a premature discharge took place by which two men, named Morris and Smith, were seriously injured. The Placer Herald is informed that Morris was terribly mangled, and cannot survive. Smith, although much hurt, will recover. BreckinripGe Siatz Convention.—This body met at Sacramento on the 11th inst. About one-third of the votes in the Convention were cast by proxies, and three or four counties were unrepresented. Ex-Gov. Weller presided, and Zack. Montgomery, Vincent E. Geiger, Antonia F. Coronel and Allen P. Dudley were nominated for Electors. PorpuLaTIon oF SonoMA— The complete census returns of five townships of Sonoma county, give a population of 7,143; the population of the other six townships is estimated by the Sonoma Demoerat at 6,100—making the total population of the county 13,248—being an increase of about five fold since the State census was taken in 1852. Pracen County.—The Grand Jury of Placer county convened onthe 10th inst. The charges against the prisoners awaiting their action, were as follows: Stage robbery, 4; highway robbery, 1; attempt to commit grand larceny, 3; grand larceny, 8; burglary, 4. Of this number, five are escaped convicts, A DANGEROUS PLAYTHING.—A few days since, a little child of Mr. Hiller, of Martinez, carried into the house a live tarantula, holding it by one leg, which he had found while playing in the garden, a few steps from the door, Fortunately he was not bitten by the venomous insect he had innocently captured. San Dizco Copper MinEs.—A correspondent of the Alta says that the copper mines near Fort Yuma will be opened soon by a large force, under the direction of a Connecticut company. Recent assays made from specimens taken from this mine give over eighty per cent pure copper, with traces of gold and silver. Bett AND Everstrin SoLano.-Mr, J.B. Frisbie, of Vallejo, has declared for Bell and Everett, and will stump the county in behalf of the Union party. Mr, Frisbie isa good speaker, and has many friends in Solano who will listen to him with attention, and then vote for whom they please. Newspaper Cuanoe—The Mariposa Star office has been sold to the Douglas men, and the last number of that paper has been issued. A new paper, to be called the Mariposa News, and which will support Douglas, is shortly to be issued. Hicguway Ropyery.—-On Tuesday the Lith inst., Mr. T.

Burrs County.—tThe valuation of taxable property in Butte county, for 1860, is $3,926,861. The assessed valuation of property in Butte has been decreasing since 1857, owing to the depreciation of the value of stock. Tue citizens of Dutch Flat and Little York, have it in contemplation to connect the counties of Placer and Nevada by a wagon road across Bear river. The road is much needed. STaBBING.-Thomas Johns stabbed Wm. Hart at Horse Shoe Bar, on the middle fork of the American river, one day last week, inflicting a dangerous wound. Contra Costa —The total valuation of taxable property in Contra Costa county, for 1860, is $2,220,085—being $105,540 less than the valuation for 1859. THs skeleton of an alligator, eleven feet in length was recently found by some workmen engaged in the excavation of a cellar, at Black Point near SanFrancisco.

ARRIVALS BY THE Uncts SaM.—Among the arrivals from the East by Uncle Sam, were J.C. ye. J. J. Musser, P. Della Torre, and Rev. ; a Tae Horrest Dax.—Sunday last test day of the season at San Francisco. The thermometer stood at. 96 deg. in the shade, at 10 a. x. Tere are no less'than 288 lawyers and 189 phy‘sicians in San Francisco, ‘tin 1856; and the chances are two to one that she The Breckinridge Democrats of Ohio, in State Cohvention:at Columbus, adjourned without nominating a State ticket. Reason: Not Breckinrid men enough in the State to make it worth while. The Union ladies of the interior of Kentucky are having Bell and Everett printed on their bonnet strings. Another strange) rumor is, that the Republican ladies of the West are having pictures of Abe Lincoln on their bonnet strings, as an offset to theif sisters of Kentucky. Contrasts heighten the effect of beauty. gto A Breckinridge paper says that Buchanan has no with infinitely more truth be said that he has no friends except those he has bought. The Richmond (Va.) Whig insists that the Douglas Democrats out-number the supporters of Breck. inridge in that city, and says that the preponderence is constantly increasing. } The fact that Hon. A. H. Stephensof Georgia, . has not taken the stump for Douglas, is ‘owing to . the bad state of his health. He is firm for the regular candidates, and will publicly advocate their cause as soon as he is well enough to do so. It has been ascertained that upwards of 1,600 . Democratic papers inthe United States support . Douglas and Johnson. Some 40 Democratic pa. pers in the free States support Breckinridge and . Lane, and about 100 inthe slave States, making . 140 in all. Gov, Letcher, of Virginia, has come out for rte Hunter, Mason and Wise are for Breck. inridge. Gen. Leslie Coombs, who was lately elected Clerk of the Kentucky Court of Appeals, has addressed a . letter to the editors.of the Louisville Journal, in . which he says: Profonndly grateful as I am to Providence and . the people for making me the instrument of politi. cal redemption, I ask leave to say a single word to j ou. The patriotic National Union Democracy ave co-operated with us most manfully, and we must hereafter consider them as brethren. We can all stand on the platform of 1852, recognizing . the Compromise of 1850. Hereafter go for the Union, the Constitution, and the enforcement of . the Laws. There need be no question for criticism . as to the past, but perfect harmony in combating . the common enemy hereafter—i' e., both sectional . parties. I hope the Press on both sides will take . this ground. e Yancey-Breckinridge Disunionists have only feceived their first rebuke-mild and . gentle compared to the future. ‘They are doomed. “T am one of the last survivors of a race of men,” &c—[Buchanan’s letter to the New York Breckinridge meeting.
