There is no necessity, whatever, of having suc’ an officer, at least in the mining counties. Si.ver ano Tin at Coso.--Jacob Smith bas exhibited to the editor of the Sacramento News, specimens of silver and tin ore from Tulare county, east of Owen’s Lake, in the Coro mining district, He aud others discovered one tin lead in the Coso district and another in the Greenborv mountaius. It is supposed that the silver lead will prove ae rich as the celebraicd Comstock. The croppings, which prospect fined ly, have been traced aboot five miles.

In both eases the parties bad served out their terms of imprisonment. cod their conduct was exemplary while in prison.

The document was presented by his friend, at Warmell’s saloon, and the recipient not jrwnmeng . the proceeding in respect, tore it to ae eget Sor i of the person ting it, n tion nleamped esvenal well directed blows with a cane he held. The challenger’s friend drew a knife, with which he made several to open his an nist, and failing in this, took to his heels. As was retreating through a back entrance to the saloon, a ball from a Derringer pistol in the hands of the other grazed his right leg, doing no damage. The affair created considerable excitement for these ry times, and all present conceded that it was the best way to settle such matters, And there it ended. ATTACKED BY A GrizzL¥.—We learn from the San Jose Telegraph, that a few days “go in the range of mountains between Gilroy an Watsonville, Dr. Huber, who lives near McMullin’s old heard a noise in a yard near his house, where he corrals his sheep at night. He went out, and climbing u the corral fence, shouted, when he saw a qi . in the yard making directly towards him. He jumped off the fence and started to run for the house, a short distance off, but before reachit he was overtaken by the bear and knocked down several times, though but slightly hurt. The bear —probably frightened by Huber’s for help—left him, just as a neighbor came to his assistance.

Achance seldom met with is now offered to some enterprising Yankee of meaus, to reve! io the halls, not of the Montezumas, but of the German barons, Samort koights of the medieval ages. A castle is adv . the German papers, which was erected over 12 ago, and arouud which cluster remicenturies . nicences of feadal barons in the early history of Germans, This ia the ancient castle of Meersborg, situated on Lake Constance, ia the present Grand Duchy of Baden. It fs to be sold by the heire of Baron Von Lassberg, who died in 1855, and is ove of the oldest, finest, and most remarkable specimens of architecture io Southera Germany, German poets bave described in verse its origin and romantic situation, and German historians cannot overlook its claims without doing injustice to some of the most prominent personages of the medieval times. The old castle was erected upon a rock separated by a chasm from the town, and connected with the latter by means ofadraw-bridge, The oldest portions are the square tower, whioh js forty feet in thickness, and a wall which commences near the draw ; both are of Franconian architecture, and tradition relates the tower was constructed by King bert the First, about the year 630 to 638, aud was originally n+ ed fora lighthouse. In subsequent he castle bas been owned by different and distinguished families, and has bad additions, but the old tower is still standing, At present the old castle is vacant and looking for an owner who will preserve it from rain. Its situation is one of the most piotureeque that can be imagived, In front are the waters of Lake Constance, and beyond, the Swiss Alps, their eummits covered with perpetnal snow; on either side and to the rear isa landscape of surpassing beauty, comprising valleys and mountain slopes, fertile farms and vineyards, and interspersed with villages and farm houses, There splendid castles, when sold, usually bring @ price far below their apparent value, There are several instances of similar medieval structures purchased for a mere song, and we know of one inetance in which a French gentlemao of very moderate means bought a baronial castle, with seventeen acres of land, for the sum of three hundred dollars. Seven hundred more were spent in fitting it up, and the purchaser now occaples it ina princely state, It is not to be eupposed that the Meersburg Castle will be sold for anything like this, but it will be likely to go off at a sacrifice, Tuk Baitimore Bonapartes.—The Baltimore correspoudent of the New York Times, has the following in a recent letter : A matter, rather siogolar, forcibly impreased itself upon me some weeks ago, but I neglegted uoticing i¢ up tothe present time, Passing along our streets the nextday after the announcement of the death of Prince Jerome Bonaparte, I saw hie wife—Mise Pattereon—now near ber eightieth year, walking out io her urual costume, unconcerned as if nothing bad happened, She certainly knew the fact; but koowing her eecentricities, . was not surprised, It is no uncommon thing to see this venerable lady in the public marts attending personally to basinesa, She often collects ber owa rents, uod takea a flirt at stock speeulations when the fever js up. Atall times an elegant crown jewel, glittering with diamonds of the purest water, is displayed upon ber forehead, while ber arme are white, ekin smooth and tender as a maiden of sixteva, She is really a remarkable woman, There isa deep stoicieomand unbending philoropby, coupled with independence in ber composition, which one out of a thousaud male or female, does not possess, Her every thought is replete with favoritism for royalty. Republics she esieems commo:, ungrateful ; and now, though a citizen of our domain, and without anything special to pluwe herself non touching imperial favors, she lives in the ideal of la belle France. Her greatest ambition is to hear of ber granson—young Jerome—now in the French army, rising to honor and imperia! distinction. large portion of ber annual income, which in very large, 1s appropriated to his service. At ber demire, itis presumed, be will ioberit ber entire fortune, as she ia not on terme of intimacy with ber eon here, A Sicituian Henowve.—A Palermo letter gives the following annecdote of a Sister of Charity ; ‘ “A young patriot named Francisco Riso was killed on Ap il 4th, during a popular demonstration which took place before Garibaldi’s arrival. On April 20tp, hie father, Giovanni Riso 60 years old, was shot by the Bourbon soldiers without so much as the form ofa trial. On the very day tbat Garibaldi entered Palermo, a young aod very beautiful nuo, Ignacia Riso, the vixter and daughter of the two Risow above named, left the convent, and amidst a shower of ball and grapeshot, a cross in one band and a poignard in the other, placed herself at the head of Garibaldi’s column, crying: “Down with the Bourbons! Death to the tyrant! Vengeance !"’ She kept ber place as long as the fighting lasted, and ber courageous attitude electrified the volunteers, Ever since that da the name of Ignacia Riso has been beld saered., When she passes in the street the soldiers bow low and bless her with the most profound respect. Garibaldi bimself pays ber great attention, and loves her asifsbe were his own daughter.” Tae Censve Bureav.—Some details of a personal nature, obtained from the censur returne, having found their way into the papers of a Western city, the Superintendent of the Census bas requested the United States Marrhal of the district to make explanation of the manner whereby this information was obtained for puiblication. Such a use of the returns ia strictly interdicted, and s proper observance of the regnlations of the Department with respect to any public use of records personal in character, in which so many persone are interested, peremp torily enjoined. The Washington Constitution states that where a marshal has seen fit, on bie own responsibility, to furnish aggregate retorna of population for soy portion of bie din trict, no exception hes been taken ; but while thie fe permitted, any liberty taken by the marshals or their assistante in the exhibition of the returns to others for public or private oases, or permitting any copy or extract to be made of details affecting individuale, will meet with immediate apprehension, or the removal of the offending pariy. Apvice Gratis.—The Sacramento Bee advires the Donglas men, if they entertain any doubts of the success of their local tickets, to vote for the Lincoln electors in exchange for Republi can votes for their local candidates! The euggertion doubtless comes from a disinterested source, bat like all advice, gratuitously proffret, the Douglas men are not disposed to take t. ce ee Cowviorep or Monpes.—Salvador Garcia bas been convicted of the murder of William Blanch before the District Court of Santa Clara county. Isaac Bett, the oldest shipping merchant of New York, died at Saratogs Bept. 5tb. ertised for sale ia . and voluminous, the summing up made the yield of gold from 1851 to the close of 1859, £101.371,828 ot over $600,000,000. The Amerthis, and in round numbers it may be stated that ia twelve years the to the world’s stook of gold exceeds one thousand millions of dollars, There is somethiug so colorsal in such a statement, that the can with difficulty take it in. The ideas of our childhood, or of the auteCalifornian period of the world’s history, in reference to gold, were so narrow that it takes time to expand one’s thoughts for the proper comprehension of one thousand millions of gold, The question arises, where isall this new found gold? We donot find it much pay oredr Rng) either figuratively or fiterally, ij Misiselppi, Sheordiag to the of the lave Col, Benton, It has not become a common metal, from which we can all bave our diner service made. It has not abolished paper money, or made it necesrary, The banks of the world, when all their statements ure summed up, do not hold anything like a thousand millions of gold. Nine teuthe of all business transactions are carried on not by gels but by notes, bills and checks. Oredit quite as much bueinessas it did before cash became so ful, Merchants prefer the use of paper to the heavy material, the transfers of which would cause so touch inconvenience, But though we see so little of this enormous addition to the world’s stock of gold, 1t stilt exists. Commercial and mining statistic prove that it has been , and the records of the miota prove that it bas been converted into coin, It is but little observed, because the bu iness of the world bas increased at such an enormoue rate W chin the last twelve years, Trade and commerce under the stimulus of the great gold production have expanded to colvugsal pre portions, corresponding to the magnitude of the eg supply. ern ware, the India rebellion, the operations of European Powers in China, and the growth of commerce with Aria, have taken a yreat deal of gold to that part of the globe, and this may account for g portion of the thousand millions, But the great bulk of this treasure, of which no acgount can be rendered, is distributed through Burope and America, and is employed ia the ordivary transactions of life. If commerce were on no larger ecale than it was fifteen years “ge enormous quantity of gold would be i filling ap the vaultsof Banks and of individuals, But bus'nese has grown apace, and there is no glut of the gold market, no perceptible diminution of its value, The world adapts iteelf to an new ciroumstances with surprising facility, on commerce has colarged its transactions to correepood with its means,-—PAil, A May Fats Two Mives tw a Panacuvtre.— Prot. Steiner, the @ronaut has been astonishing the people of St. Lawrence county, N. ¥., by his feats, He made an ascension last week in company with avother, and when at the height of two miles, Steiner touk « parachute and descend:d to the earth, The spectators were thrilled at the eight and stood breathless as the daring wronaut was descending.

The challenger’s friend drew a knife, with which he made several to open his an nist, and failing in this, took to his heels. As was retreating through a back entrance to the saloon, a ball from a Derringer pistol in the hands of the other grazed his right leg, doing no damage. The affair created considerable excitement for these ry times, and all present conceded that it was the best way to settle such matters, And there it ended.

Achance seldom met with is now offered to some enterprising Yankee of meaus, to reve! io the halls, not of the Montezumas, but of the German barons, Samort koights of the medieval ages. A castle is adv . the German papers, which was erected over 12 ago, and arouud which cluster remicenturies . nicences of feadal barons in the early history of Germans, This ia the ancient castle of Meersborg, situated on Lake Constance, ia the present Grand Duchy of Baden. It fs to be sold by the heire of Baron Von Lassberg, who died in 1855, and is ove of the oldest, finest, and most remarkable specimens of architecture io Southera Germany, German poets bave described in verse its origin and romantic situation, and German historians cannot overlook its claims without doing injustice to some of the most prominent personages of the medieval times. The old castle was erected upon a rock separated by a chasm from the town, and connected with the latter by means ofadraw-bridge, The oldest portions are the square tower, whioh js forty feet in thickness, and a wall which commences near the draw ; both are of Franconian architecture, and tradition relates the tower was constructed by King bert the First, about the year 630 to 638, aud was originally n+ ed fora lighthouse. In subsequent he castle bas been owned by different and distinguished families, and has bad additions, but the old tower is still standing, At present the old castle is vacant and looking for an owner who will preserve it from rain. Its situation is one of the most piotureeque that can be imagived, In front are the waters of Lake Constance, and beyond, the Swiss Alps, their eummits covered with perpetnal snow; on either side and to the rear isa landscape of surpassing beauty, comprising valleys and mountain slopes, fertile farms and vineyards, and interspersed with villages and farm houses, There splendid castles, when sold, usually bring @ price far below their apparent value, There are several instances of similar medieval structures purchased for a mere song, and we know of one inetance in which a French gentlemao of very moderate means bought a baronial castle, with seventeen acres of land, for the sum of three hundred dollars. Seven hundred more were spent in fitting it up, and the purchaser now occaples it ina princely state, It is not to be eupposed that the Meersburg Castle will be sold for anything like this, but it will be likely to go off at a sacrifice, Tuk Baitimore Bonapartes.—The Baltimore correspoudent of the New York Times, has the following in a recent letter : A matter, rather siogolar, forcibly impreased itself upon me some weeks ago, but I neglegted uoticing i¢ up tothe present time, Passing along our streets the nextday after the announcement of the death of Prince Jerome Bonaparte, I saw hie wife—Mise Pattereon—now near ber eightieth year, walking out io her urual costume, unconcerned as if nothing bad happened, She certainly knew the fact; but koowing her eecentricities, . was not surprised, It is no uncommon thing to see this venerable lady in the public marts attending personally to basinesa, She often collects ber owa rents, uod takea a flirt at stock speeulations when the fever js up. Atall times an elegant crown jewel, glittering with diamonds of the purest water, is displayed upon ber forehead, while ber arme are white, ekin smooth and tender as a maiden of sixteva, She is really a remarkable woman, There isa deep stoicieomand unbending philoropby, coupled with independence in ber composition, which one out of a thousaud male or female, does not possess, Her every thought is replete with favoritism for royalty. Republics she esieems commo:, ungrateful ; and now, though a citizen of our domain, and without anything special to pluwe herself non touching imperial favors, she lives in the ideal of la belle France. Her greatest ambition is to hear of ber granson—young Jerome—now in the French army, rising to honor and imperia! distinction. large portion of ber annual income, which in very large, 1s appropriated to his service. At ber demire, itis presumed, be will ioberit ber entire fortune, as she ia not on terme of intimacy with ber eon here, A Sicituian Henowve.—A Palermo letter gives the following annecdote of a Sister of Charity ; ‘ “A young patriot named Francisco Riso was killed on Ap il 4th, during a popular demonstration which took place before Garibaldi’s arrival. On April 20tp, hie father, Giovanni Riso 60 years old, was shot by the Bourbon soldiers without so much as the form ofa trial. On the very day tbat Garibaldi entered Palermo, a young aod very beautiful nuo, Ignacia Riso, the vixter and daughter of the two Risow above named, left the convent, and amidst a shower of ball and grapeshot, a cross in one band and a poignard in the other, placed herself at the head of Garibaldi’s column, crying: “Down with the Bourbons! Death to the tyrant! Vengeance !"’ She kept ber place as long as the fighting lasted, and ber courageous attitude electrified the volunteers, Ever since that da the name of Ignacia Riso has been beld saered., When she passes in the street the soldiers bow low and bless her with the most profound respect. Garibaldi bimself pays ber great attention, and loves her asifsbe were his own daughter.” Tae Censve Bureav.—Some details of a personal nature, obtained from the censur returne, having found their way into the papers of a Western city, the Superintendent of the Census bas requested the United States Marrhal of the district to make explanation of the manner whereby this information was obtained for puiblication. Such a use of the returns ia strictly interdicted, and s proper observance of the regnlations of the Department with respect to any public use of records personal in character, in which so many persone are interested, peremp torily enjoined. The Washington Constitution states that where a marshal has seen fit, on bie own responsibility, to furnish aggregate retorna of population for soy portion of bie din trict, no exception hes been taken ; but while thie fe permitted, any liberty taken by the marshals or their assistante in the exhibition of the returns to others for public or private oases, or permitting any copy or extract to be made of details affecting individuale, will meet with immediate apprehension, or the removal of the offending pariy.

The euggertion doubtless comes from a disinterested source, bat like all advice, gratuitously proffret, the Douglas men are not disposed to take t. ce ee Cowviorep or Monpes.—Salvador Garcia bas been convicted of the murder of William Blanch before the District Court of Santa Clara county. Isaac Bett, the oldest shipping merchant of New York, died at Saratogs Bept. 5tb. ertised for sale ia . and voluminous, the summing up made the yield of gold from 1851 to the close of 1859, £101.371,828 ot over $600,000,000. The Amerthis, and in round numbers it may be stated that ia twelve years the to the world’s stook of gold exceeds one thousand millions of dollars, There is somethiug so colorsal in such a statement, that the can with difficulty take it in. The ideas of our childhood, or of the auteCalifornian period of the world’s history, in reference to gold, were so narrow that it takes time to expand one’s thoughts for the proper comprehension of one thousand millions of gold, The question arises, where isall this new found gold? We donot find it much pay oredr Rng) either figuratively or fiterally, ij Misiselppi, Sheordiag to the of the lave Col, Benton, It has not become a common metal, from which we can all bave our diner service made. It has not abolished paper money, or made it necesrary, The banks of the world, when all their statements ure summed up, do not hold anything like a thousand millions of gold.
