GonE!—We have news by telegraph, that Gen. William Walker, the “grey-eyed man of desti. ny,” whose fame as a fillibuster had spread to all parts of the habitable globe, has at last suffered the death penalty, for invading Truxillo, in the} State of Honduras, Central America. He was . captured, together with 70 of his followers, on . the banks of the river Negra, by General Alva. rez, leading a body of natives, who had been . disembarked at the mouth of the river, from the British steamer Icarus. Col. Rudler, one of his . officers, was shot at the same time. Walker's . men, it was supposed, would be sent home to the . United States. This is the end of a little great man, and great little man, who was anxious to achieve glory, but never had means equal to his ambition, which . was vaulting, but “o’erleapt itself, and fell on *tother side.” An epitaph something like the following, might very appropriately be placed . over his grave: Here lies William Walker, The fiillibuster chief, Whose oft-attempted conquests Shed a glory sad as brief; He was a famous hero, To those who thought him so, But was shot before anointed, On the plains of Truxillo! as sds Ow A Tour.—John R. Ridge, Esq., the editor of the Marysville Democrat, was in the mountains the whole of last, and two or three days of the present week. He came from Grass Valley . over here, after having spent the longest portion of his time in that neighborhood and at Nevada, getting acquainted with the people and soliciting subscribers. The clever fellows of that ee are magnificent on a carouse; and from several obscure intimations which we heard thrown out concerning champagne bottles,and game suppers, besides a certain drowsiness about. somebody’s eyes the morning John arrived here, we are disposed to think his case was properly attended to, among his hosts of friends and admirers. His . success in the line of his business, we are glad to hear, was even beyond his anticipations. Such . a man deserves encouragement; not only on account of his fine talents, but because, -otherwise, he is one of the worthiest citizens we have in the State. —~@« a BatTHING.—The Nevada Transcript says : “The man or woman who never bathes, and . who is guiltless of ever cleansing the outer surface of the body, is ignorant of one of the best : and cheapest of luxuries.” (Yes, and they are also ignorant of its preventive and curative qualities for most of the . maladies to which human flesh is heir. He or she who will use cold water, soap, and the crash towel regularly and freely, and is otherwise prudent to an ordinary degree, will have no occasion to be sick. Water is a strengthener and invigorator. In our own experience, we have found it infallible in the cure of ticdouloureux or neuralgia, sore throat, diarrhoea, rheumatism, fever and ague, debility, fever, and to be great in dis sipating the swell-head! Throw physic to the . dogs! We’lHrave none of it. + Gutta Percua Hosr.—In our advertising columns will be found a brief, setting forth the virtues and different uses of articles manufactured from Gutta Percha, of which Mr. Charles P. Daniell & Co., of San Francisco, are the Pacific agents. The attention of hydraulic miners is particularly called to that passage relating to hose, and the durable and impervious nature of the material from which it is made. Mr. Daniell informs us that several papers have fallen into the error of stating that this hose is in general use. As yet, it has not been tried in the mines. (A very limited supply is on hand. An application of the hose is about to be made at Timbuctoo. Should it sueceed—as there can be no doubt that it will—a sufficient quantity can at once be imported to supply the California demand. _——_-—___+ ¢AccIDENT Near NicHotavs.—Our worthy and esteemed friend Jack Clark, of Timbuctoo, sends us the following: On Saturday last, George Congdon and James McGee were returning home from the State Fair at Sacramento, in a two horse buggy, and having arrived near Nicholaus, in Sutter county, their animals became fractious and unmanageable. McKee leapt from the buggy, and fell upon his left arm, which was broken in two places. The parties subsequently reached Nicholaus, where the broken bones of McKee’s arm were set; but after having resumed their journey, the bones became misplaced. On arriving at Timbuctoo, Dr. Simpson again set the bones, and the injured man is now in a fair way of recovery. ae nae = State Farr Premivums.—In looking over the award of premiums at the recent State Fair, we find that a gentleman townsman and lady neighbor ate among the successful exhibitors, viz: “Hydraulic Mining—First premium to Dr. J. B. Warfield, Eureka Company, North San Juan, Novada county. : “Best Pencil Drawing—First premium to Mrs. H. P. Sweetland, of Sweetland, Nevada county. “Embroidery in Silk—Second premium to Mrs. H. P. Sweetland. : : “Embroidery in Cotton—First premium to Mrs. H. P. Sweetland.” RE Eee THE BuixueaD.—This chrysalis insect, cherub, or monster—according to the glass through which it is seen—is knocked about like a shuttlecock between the politicians. None of them are willing to father it. Last winter, one would have thought, to see "Squire Parsons doging about in the Senate Chamber, that he controlled that body by the mere twirl of his little finger. Even the Governor of the State did not presume to be so familiar as he did. Now his project, at least, has fallen so low, that none remain to do it reverence. ALL FOR THE Party.—The Santa Cruz Expositor says of Gwin’s speeeh, made at the Sacramento meeting of ratification, that it “reflects well hi® candor, and the orthodoxy of his democ> racy. The ple have had enough of that kind of stuff. If Mr. Gwin Should reelected, they want to know what he intends doing for the State. Out on your miserable party orthodoxy!

Roads and Road Overseers. Our motto is, that “error of opinion may be tolerated, so long as reason is left free to combat it.” We therefore give place to the following communication : Messrs. Eprtors:—I eannot but notice an article in last week’s Press, headed “Roads and Road Overseers,” signed “Subscriber,” and indorsed by you in the following unequivocal language : “There can be no doubt about the neglect of duty or incompetency of the Road Overseer . of that district.” Now, sirs, permit me to say that the above language reflects very improperly and most unjustly, upon our Road Overseer, Mr. Mann, who is a most worthy citizen and a very efficient officer. In fact, i has accomplished all-that could possibly be expected, with the small amount of tax-that is placed at his disposal. This piece of road complained of, is about three-fourths of a mile in extent; and last year the Board of Supervisors—if I am infornred correctly—appropriated either three or . five hundred dollars for the express purpose of putting said piece of road in order ; which money was placed in private hands. Had it been placed at the disposal of the Road Overseer, I have no doubt but those bridges would have been in good — to-day. t was not my purpose, in writing these few lines, to enter into any controversy, but simply to have you insert this in your valuable sheet, and thereby do justice to our inestimable Road Overseer; for we think, “Subscriber,” and Messrs. Editors notwithstanding, that he will compare favorably with Road Overseers generally. But I cannot lay down my pen until . seer briefly, a few of the last remarks of Messrs. Editors: “He. pair your roads, mend your bridges, or resign your positions. If you don’t we will publish your names, and make an example of you.” lease don’t. And we will just state for the information of “Subscriber,” and also Messrs. Editors, that we have a sparsely settled country, and . a great amount of road to keep in repair. About one-third of our population is continually on thie move, making it very difficult to collect the taxes to be applied to the road. the most efficient Road Overseer we haye ever had, and we don’t want him driven from his post by unwarrantable abuse. BLOOMER. CoLuMBIA HILL, Oct. 2d, 1860. iL; We are glad to know the official conduct of Mr. Mann is so defensible. We are pleased TE Opposition ExpLopep.—It seems that we are not, after all, to have an opposition line of steamships. The Journal of Commerce says: “There seems to be some foundation for . the rumor that Mr. Roberts and Com. Van. derbilt have settled their difficulty in regard to the Isthmus transit, and that the opposi. tion line will not be started. The Granada and Moses Taylor have been sent to the Pa. cific, and the former was last spoken near the Equator on her voyage down. The Coatzacoalcos was bought as a substitute for the Star of the West, the third beat formerly . announced, and bas been well refitted for her work. On the 4th instant she made her . trial trip, and on Saturday she bad 500 tuns of coal on board, and it was supposed she would clear for the Pacific. We caanot learn that she has sailed, and it there is any truth in the rumor that the parties have . come to terms, we suppose that she will be . kept on this side. “The statement is, that Mr, Roberts, who was not very well used by his old associates, {in the former settlement between the Com. and the Pacific Mail Company, and who was . seeking employment for his steamers uot otherwise provided for, by opening an oppo; Sition to San Francisco via Tehuantepec, has now been admitted by Vanderbilt to a partnership in the Atlantic service of the old route. “If this beso, and the néw line is thus suffered to collapse, we trust that the boats sent to the Pacific will not be brought back to the Atlantic, but carefully employed in developing the trade of the southwest coast, } jand thas afford fresh facilities for a come. munication which is anneally gfowing in Mr. Mann has been . importauce.” The wife of a sexton belonging to one of our up town churches, was last week interrupted in the middle of a harangue upon the other. They are leeches, vampyres, parasites— deficient in the self-producing principle, but clinging to, and deriving their nourishment from others. Rebuke cannot abash them, nor change the current of their vaulting ambition. Everywhere, on all occasions, in season and out of season, they are conspicuous in the front rank of politieal movements. They are as essentially paupers on the public crib, as the mendicant is upon the bounty of the village poor-house. Pap their ravenous stomachs must have, and the ladle of the Treasury is the medium through which they receive it. Too proud to work themselves, they yet appeal to the working classes to sustain them. Too indolent to study, their hobby is the current twattle about party, party principles, and undying devotion to the cause! Thus they frequently succeed against men of true worth; and by this senseless style of argument, are enabled to flourish, and to perpetuate their power. It were vain to attempt shaking these political freebooters off. Tolerance has given them courage, and indulgence erected them into an institution. We should therefore use the desperate philosophy of the fox, whose body was covered with blood-bloated flies, and endure the present infliction,rather than drive the adventurers away, to have their place supplied by a hungrier swarm. Some of them are harmless from repletion, and some from lack of mental ability to encompass those gigantic projects of phlebotomy against the public Treasury which their rapacious designs may have included. —_——___—_—__++@ RIDGE WITH THE RIFLE.—AIl through this portion of the country, so far as we could learn, the boys endeavored to make Ridge’s trip to the mountains not only profitable but pleasant. We have no operas nor theaters to which we can invite a visiting friend, and don’t feel exactly able to go it strong on champagne parties. But when it comes to out-door sports or lager beer, we’re “in.” So, Ridge being amongst us, was entertained in the manner indicated, at Koch’s shooting match. A rifle was put into his hand, of which weapon he proved to be a master. Some thirty or forty shots had been fired at an incorrigible black turkey, by the best marksmen on the ground, ata distance of 180 yards, but the bird never moulted a feather. Ridge drew down onit. Atthe discharge of his gun, the turkey sprang fromits perch. It was hit, but no blood drawn, and the decision went against him. The second fire was more effective, and no person found it necessary to waste his ammunition ‘on that fowl afterwards. If any one in the valleys should get unnecessarily bellicose in this campaign, and be foolish enough to send the gentleman in question a challenge, it would give him the choice of weapons ; and, on their souls’ salvation ! we admonish them to beware of his terrible rifle. Se eae peg eee eS NEVADA CAMPAIGNER.—This is the title of the Breckenridge and Lane organ started at Nevada. It is a small weekly, edited by C. F. Smith, Esq., and will be published every Saturday till after the election. Those who have seen and read the first number, need not be told that Mr. Smith is a writer of ability. His articles speak for themselves. Every Administration man in the county ought to subscribe for the “Campaigner.” If they don’t, and are beaten in the county, let them hold their peace after election. We could name twenty men of that ilk in this town, who ought to put their names down and pay in advance for at least ten copies each. “UnciE REEL.”—We are always pleased to speak well ourselves, and hear others speak well of any of our fellow-citizens, it matters not to what political party they may belong. The Nevada Campaigner pays our personal friend and clever neighbor, Mr. M. A. Winham—whom we, his townsmen, familiarly designate ‘Uncle Reel” — the following deserved compliment: “Mr. Winham, of North San Juan, is a high minded and intelligent gentleman, and a Democrat true as steel. Although nota professed politician, he is a reliable national man; and as new questions arise, his course can easily be anticipated, on general principles.” ——@ =~ Pui. Moore.—The Campaigner pays the following tribute to Phil. Moore, the Breckenridge candidate for the Senate in Nevada county : “Hon. Phil. Moore is one of the favorites of the Nevada democracy. His legislative record, for four terms, will challenge comparison with the best. Overhaul the Assembly journals from 1853 downwards, and when you light upon a thieving bill, you will find Moore, of Nevada, among the nays.” WILi1aM Watt.—This is what Ridge, of the Marysville Democrat, says about William Watt, the Douglas candidate for the State Senate in this county : “He is a gentleman of unbounded popularity, a late strenuous advocate of the Administration party, a business man of vast resources and of a generous, upright, and independent character.” mit, in this particular branch of horticulture. It will not only prove profitable, but operate as a means of inducing population to the mountains, which is now all they require, to stimulate a further development of those vast and varied resources which must ultimately be a source of individual wealth, as they are now a matter of State and National pride. —o-@-——$—________ CLERICAL APPOINTMENTS.—The Methodist Conference, lately in session, made the following appointments for the Marysville District—I.

Handbills were posted all over the city, stating that the Royal party would arrive by the Chicago train at 10 o’clock, A. M. Shortly after that hour, a handsome barouche, drawn by four magnificently caparisoned horses, and containing a bogus Prince of Wales and Duke of Newcastle, made its appearance on the streets, and created quite a sensation. The party drove through the principal thoroughfares, and wherever there was the least token of recognition, returned the salutation in the most gracious manner possible. They visited the suburbs, stopped at the lager beer gardens, and did other things which quickly undeceived the populace. “Tt turned out that the Prince in this case was a female, a notorious prostitute, and her companion, one D. Bohannan, a well known appendage of fancy women. The party was arrested and taken to the callaboose.’ rap vinta a iene oot Tri-Werekty Dxmocrat.—According to promise, the Nevada Democrat made its appearance as a tri weekly on Tuesday.

It has been graded to Coon Creek, 24 miles west of Folsom, and the track is now laid for a distance of seven tailes from the latter place, and wilt be laid to Lincoln, a distance of 17} miles, in a few weeks. ‘3 ® More Raty.—The present week has been prolific of rain. It commenced showering on Monday evening, and with occasional interruptions, has kept it up ever since, with various degrees of intensity. The earth, in consequence, has been completely drenched. Stump SpEAKING.—Gen. Allen, of the Nevada Transcript, is down on stump speakers—especially imported ones. He says, and with truth, that it is in bad taste to send up from San Francisco Nugents to enlighten us men of the hills, to the exclusion of the old gents who are of us, and make better speeches. Give our native talent a chance to ventillate itself ! L. D. CoLony, a merchant of Downieville,was . of live poultry, a couple of plemp young offered to sell her a couple of chickens. to learn he is a good Road Overseer, and hope “Chickens!” exclaimed she; “chickens ! that as such, he will not flinch from discharging . his whole duty. What have the private parties . when we haven't baried a living soul these done with the “three or five hundred dollars” . six weeks !” appropriated “for the express purpose of putting said piece of road in repair?” Who are they, and why have they delayed ? Mr. Mann may be entirely worthy of the character which “Bloomer” gives him; but that does not repair the broken bridges nor mend the roads. The road tax should be collected before the population has a chance to move away. The law prescribes a mode. Besides, the labor of two men for one day, would render all the bridges within the compass named, safely passable. We shall not attempt to reply to the satirical wit of our correspondent. It is overpowering. sta of the times, by a person who Whisky fs now tested by the distance a man can walk after tasting it.

GonE!—We have news by telegraph, that Gen. William Walker, the “grey-eyed man of desti. ny,” whose fame as a fillibuster had spread to all parts of the habitable globe, has at last suffered the death penalty, for invading Truxillo, in the} State of Honduras, Central America. He was . captured, together with 70 of his followers, on . the banks of the river Negra, by General Alva. rez, leading a body of natives, who had been . disembarked at the mouth of the river, from the British steamer Icarus. Col. Rudler, one of his . officers, was shot at the same time. Walker's . men, it was supposed, would be sent home to the . United States. This is the end of a little great man, and great little man, who was anxious to achieve glory, but never had means equal to his ambition, which . was vaulting, but “o’erleapt itself, and fell on *tother side.” An epitaph something like the following, might very appropriately be placed . over his grave: Here lies William Walker, The fiillibuster chief, Whose oft-attempted conquests Shed a glory sad as brief; He was a famous hero, To those who thought him so, But was shot before anointed, On the plains of Truxillo! as sds Ow A Tour.—John R. Ridge, Esq., the editor of the Marysville Democrat, was in the mountains the whole of last, and two or three days of the present week. He came from Grass Valley . over here, after having spent the longest portion of his time in that neighborhood and at Nevada, getting acquainted with the people and soliciting subscribers. The clever fellows of that ee are magnificent on a carouse; and from several obscure intimations which we heard thrown out concerning champagne bottles,and game suppers, besides a certain drowsiness about. somebody’s eyes the morning John arrived here, we are disposed to think his case was properly attended to, among his hosts of friends and admirers. His . success in the line of his business, we are glad to hear, was even beyond his anticipations. Such . a man deserves encouragement; not only on account of his fine talents, but because, -otherwise, he is one of the worthiest citizens we have in the State. —~@« a BatTHING.—The Nevada Transcript says : “The man or woman who never bathes, and . who is guiltless of ever cleansing the outer surface of the body, is ignorant of one of the best : and cheapest of luxuries.” (Yes, and they are also ignorant of its preventive and curative qualities for most of the . maladies to which human flesh is heir. He or she who will use cold water, soap, and the crash towel regularly and freely, and is otherwise prudent to an ordinary degree, will have no occasion to be sick. Water is a strengthener and invigorator. In our own experience, we have found it infallible in the cure of ticdouloureux or neuralgia, sore throat, diarrhoea, rheumatism, fever and ague, debility, fever, and to be great in dis sipating the swell-head! Throw physic to the . dogs! We’lHrave none of it. + Gutta Percua Hosr.—In our advertising columns will be found a brief, setting forth the virtues and different uses of articles manufactured from Gutta Percha, of which Mr. Charles P. Daniell & Co., of San Francisco, are the Pacific agents. The attention of hydraulic miners is particularly called to that passage relating to hose, and the durable and impervious nature of the material from which it is made. Mr. Daniell informs us that several papers have fallen into the error of stating that this hose is in general use. As yet, it has not been tried in the mines. (A very limited supply is on hand. An application of the hose is about to be made at Timbuctoo. Should it sueceed—as there can be no doubt that it will—a sufficient quantity can at once be imported to supply the California demand. _——_-—___+ ¢AccIDENT Near NicHotavs.—Our worthy and esteemed friend Jack Clark, of Timbuctoo, sends us the following: On Saturday last, George Congdon and James McGee were returning home from the State Fair at Sacramento, in a two horse buggy, and having arrived near Nicholaus, in Sutter county, their animals became fractious and unmanageable. McKee leapt from the buggy, and fell upon his left arm, which was broken in two places. The parties subsequently reached Nicholaus, where the broken bones of McKee’s arm were set; but after having resumed their journey, the bones became misplaced. On arriving at Timbuctoo, Dr. Simpson again set the bones, and the injured man is now in a fair way of recovery. ae nae = State Farr Premivums.—In looking over the award of premiums at the recent State Fair, we find that a gentleman townsman and lady neighbor ate among the successful exhibitors, viz: “Hydraulic Mining—First premium to Dr. J. B. Warfield, Eureka Company, North San Juan, Novada county. : “Best Pencil Drawing—First premium to Mrs. H. P. Sweetland, of Sweetland, Nevada county. “Embroidery in Silk—Second premium to Mrs. H. P. Sweetland. : : “Embroidery in Cotton—First premium to Mrs. H. P. Sweetland.” RE Eee THE BuixueaD.—This chrysalis insect, cherub, or monster—according to the glass through which it is seen—is knocked about like a shuttlecock between the politicians. None of them are willing to father it. Last winter, one would have thought, to see "Squire Parsons doging about in the Senate Chamber, that he controlled that body by the mere twirl of his little finger. Even the Governor of the State did not presume to be so familiar as he did. Now his project, at least, has fallen so low, that none remain to do it reverence. ALL FOR THE Party.—The Santa Cruz Expositor says of Gwin’s speeeh, made at the Sacramento meeting of ratification, that it “reflects well hi® candor, and the orthodoxy of his democ> racy. The ple have had enough of that kind of stuff. If Mr. Gwin Should reelected, they want to know what he intends doing for the State. Out on your miserable party orthodoxy!

Roads and Road Overseers. Our motto is, that “error of opinion may be tolerated, so long as reason is left free to combat it.” We therefore give place to the following communication : Messrs. Eprtors:—I eannot but notice an article in last week’s Press, headed “Roads and Road Overseers,” signed “Subscriber,” and indorsed by you in the following unequivocal language : “There can be no doubt about the neglect of duty or incompetency of the Road Overseer . of that district.” Now, sirs, permit me to say that the above language reflects very improperly and most unjustly, upon our Road Overseer, Mr. Mann, who is a most worthy citizen and a very efficient officer. In fact, i has accomplished all-that could possibly be expected, with the small amount of tax-that is placed at his disposal. This piece of road complained of, is about three-fourths of a mile in extent; and last year the Board of Supervisors—if I am infornred correctly—appropriated either three or . five hundred dollars for the express purpose of putting said piece of road in order ; which money was placed in private hands. Had it been placed at the disposal of the Road Overseer, I have no doubt but those bridges would have been in good — to-day. t was not my purpose, in writing these few lines, to enter into any controversy, but simply to have you insert this in your valuable sheet, and thereby do justice to our inestimable Road Overseer; for we think, “Subscriber,” and Messrs. Editors notwithstanding, that he will compare favorably with Road Overseers generally. But I cannot lay down my pen until . seer briefly, a few of the last remarks of Messrs. Editors: “He. pair your roads, mend your bridges, or resign your positions. If you don’t we will publish your names, and make an example of you.” lease don’t. And we will just state for the information of “Subscriber,” and also Messrs. Editors, that we have a sparsely settled country, and . a great amount of road to keep in repair. About one-third of our population is continually on thie move, making it very difficult to collect the taxes to be applied to the road. the most efficient Road Overseer we haye ever had, and we don’t want him driven from his post by unwarrantable abuse. BLOOMER. CoLuMBIA HILL, Oct. 2d, 1860. iL; We are glad to know the official conduct of Mr. Mann is so defensible. We are pleased TE Opposition ExpLopep.—It seems that we are not, after all, to have an opposition line of steamships. The Journal of Commerce says: “There seems to be some foundation for . the rumor that Mr. Roberts and Com. Van. derbilt have settled their difficulty in regard to the Isthmus transit, and that the opposi. tion line will not be started. The Granada and Moses Taylor have been sent to the Pa. cific, and the former was last spoken near the Equator on her voyage down. The Coatzacoalcos was bought as a substitute for the Star of the West, the third beat formerly . announced, and bas been well refitted for her work. On the 4th instant she made her . trial trip, and on Saturday she bad 500 tuns of coal on board, and it was supposed she would clear for the Pacific. We caanot learn that she has sailed, and it there is any truth in the rumor that the parties have . come to terms, we suppose that she will be . kept on this side. “The statement is, that Mr, Roberts, who was not very well used by his old associates, {in the former settlement between the Com. and the Pacific Mail Company, and who was . seeking employment for his steamers uot otherwise provided for, by opening an oppo; Sition to San Francisco via Tehuantepec, has now been admitted by Vanderbilt to a partnership in the Atlantic service of the old route. “If this beso, and the néw line is thus suffered to collapse, we trust that the boats sent to the Pacific will not be brought back to the Atlantic, but carefully employed in developing the trade of the southwest coast, } jand thas afford fresh facilities for a come. munication which is anneally gfowing in Mr. Mann has been . importauce.” The wife of a sexton belonging to one of our up town churches, was last week interrupted in the middle of a harangue upon the other. They are leeches, vampyres, parasites— deficient in the self-producing principle, but clinging to, and deriving their nourishment from others. Rebuke cannot abash them, nor change the current of their vaulting ambition. Everywhere, on all occasions, in season and out of season, they are conspicuous in the front rank of politieal movements. They are as essentially paupers on the public crib, as the mendicant is upon the bounty of the village poor-house. Pap their ravenous stomachs must have, and the ladle of the Treasury is the medium through which they receive it. Too proud to work themselves, they yet appeal to the working classes to sustain them. Too indolent to study, their hobby is the current twattle about party, party principles, and undying devotion to the cause! Thus they frequently succeed against men of true worth; and by this senseless style of argument, are enabled to flourish, and to perpetuate their power. It were vain to attempt shaking these political freebooters off. Tolerance has given them courage, and indulgence erected them into an institution. We should therefore use the desperate philosophy of the fox, whose body was covered with blood-bloated flies, and endure the present infliction,rather than drive the adventurers away, to have their place supplied by a hungrier swarm. Some of them are harmless from repletion, and some from lack of mental ability to encompass those gigantic projects of phlebotomy against the public Treasury which their rapacious designs may have included. —_——___—_—__++@ RIDGE WITH THE RIFLE.—AIl through this portion of the country, so far as we could learn, the boys endeavored to make Ridge’s trip to the mountains not only profitable but pleasant. We have no operas nor theaters to which we can invite a visiting friend, and don’t feel exactly able to go it strong on champagne parties. But when it comes to out-door sports or lager beer, we’re “in.” So, Ridge being amongst us, was entertained in the manner indicated, at Koch’s shooting match. A rifle was put into his hand, of which weapon he proved to be a master. Some thirty or forty shots had been fired at an incorrigible black turkey, by the best marksmen on the ground, ata distance of 180 yards, but the bird never moulted a feather. Ridge drew down onit. Atthe discharge of his gun, the turkey sprang fromits perch. It was hit, but no blood drawn, and the decision went against him. The second fire was more effective, and no person found it necessary to waste his ammunition ‘on that fowl afterwards. If any one in the valleys should get unnecessarily bellicose in this campaign, and be foolish enough to send the gentleman in question a challenge, it would give him the choice of weapons ; and, on their souls’ salvation ! we admonish them to beware of his terrible rifle. Se eae peg eee eS NEVADA CAMPAIGNER.—This is the title of the Breckenridge and Lane organ started at Nevada. It is a small weekly, edited by C. F. Smith, Esq., and will be published every Saturday till after the election. Those who have seen and read the first number, need not be told that Mr. Smith is a writer of ability. His articles speak for themselves. Every Administration man in the county ought to subscribe for the “Campaigner.” If they don’t, and are beaten in the county, let them hold their peace after election. We could name twenty men of that ilk in this town, who ought to put their names down and pay in advance for at least ten copies each. “UnciE REEL.”—We are always pleased to speak well ourselves, and hear others speak well of any of our fellow-citizens, it matters not to what political party they may belong. The Nevada Campaigner pays our personal friend and clever neighbor, Mr. M. A. Winham—whom we, his townsmen, familiarly designate ‘Uncle Reel” — the following deserved compliment: “Mr. Winham, of North San Juan, is a high minded and intelligent gentleman, and a Democrat true as steel. Although nota professed politician, he is a reliable national man; and as new questions arise, his course can easily be anticipated, on general principles.” ——@ =~ Pui. Moore.—The Campaigner pays the following tribute to Phil. Moore, the Breckenridge candidate for the Senate in Nevada county : “Hon. Phil. Moore is one of the favorites of the Nevada democracy. His legislative record, for four terms, will challenge comparison with the best. Overhaul the Assembly journals from 1853 downwards, and when you light upon a thieving bill, you will find Moore, of Nevada, among the nays.” WILi1aM Watt.—This is what Ridge, of the Marysville Democrat, says about William Watt, the Douglas candidate for the State Senate in this county : “He is a gentleman of unbounded popularity, a late strenuous advocate of the Administration party, a business man of vast resources and of a generous, upright, and independent character.” mit, in this particular branch of horticulture. It will not only prove profitable, but operate as a means of inducing population to the mountains, which is now all they require, to stimulate a further development of those vast and varied resources which must ultimately be a source of individual wealth, as they are now a matter of State and National pride. —o-@-——$—________ CLERICAL APPOINTMENTS.—The Methodist Conference, lately in session, made the following appointments for the Marysville District—I.

Handbills were posted all over the city, stating that the Royal party would arrive by the Chicago train at 10 o’clock, A. M. Shortly after that hour, a handsome barouche, drawn by four magnificently caparisoned horses, and containing a bogus

Prince of Wales and Duke of Newcastle, made its appearance on the streets, and created quite a sensation. The party drove through the principal thoroughfares, and wherever there was the least token of recognition, returned the salutation in the most gracious manner possible. They visited the suburbs, stopped at the lager beer gardens, and did other things which quickly undeceived the populace. “Tt turned out that the Prince in this case was a female, a notorious prostitute, and her companion, one D. Bohannan, a well known appendage of fancy women. The party was arrested and taken to the callaboose.’ rap vinta a iene oot Tri-Werekty Dxmocrat.—According to promise, the Nevada Democrat made its appearance as a tri weekly on Tuesday.

It has been graded to Coon Creek, 24 miles west of Folsom, and the track is now laid for a distance of seven tailes from the latter place, and wilt be laid to Lincoln, a distance of 17} miles, in a few weeks. ‘3 ® More Raty.—The present week has been prolific of rain. It commenced showering on Monday evening, and with occasional interruptions, has kept it up ever since, with various degrees of intensity. The earth, in consequence, has been completely drenched. Stump SpEAKING.—Gen. Allen, of the Nevada Transcript, is down on stump speakers—especially imported ones. He says, and with truth, that it is in bad taste to send up from San Francisco Nugents to enlighten us men of the hills, to the exclusion of the old gents who are of us, and make better speeches. Give our native talent a chance to ventillate itself ! L. D. CoLony, a merchant of Downieville,was . of live poultry, a couple of plemp young offered to sell her a couple of chickens. to learn he is a good Road Overseer, and hope “Chickens!” exclaimed she; “chickens ! that as such, he will not flinch from discharging . his whole duty. What have the private parties . when we haven't baried a living soul these done with the “three or five hundred dollars” . six weeks !” appropriated “for the express purpose of putting said piece of road in repair?” Who are they, and why have they delayed ? Mr. Mann may be entirely worthy of the character which “Bloomer” gives him; but that does not repair the broken bridges nor mend the roads. The road tax should be collected before the population has a chance to move away. The law prescribes a mode. Besides, the labor of two men for one day, would render all the bridges within the compass named, safely passable. We shall not attempt to reply to the satirical wit of our correspondent. It is overpowering. sta of the times, by a person who Whisky fs now tested by the distance a man can walk after tasting it.
