Office, No. 86 Cothme#etel street, WEDNESDAY, JULY 10th, 1861. —== ‘Tue Pony arrived yesterday morning, but the ewe brought by it is so unimpertans, that the Sacramento Union did not deem it -werth while to issue an‘extra. We are, therefore, unabl ¢ to lay whatever intelligemce was brought by it before our renders UNION DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION It renlly seems as though the Douglas Democracy—or Union Dentocracy, asit now denominates to itself—werefdetermined outherod Herod, to distance even the Repubiicans, in devotion to Unionistic principles and indetestation of the doctrines and acte of Secessionism. The Convention, now sitting at Srcramento, has enunciated a platform : which breathes the very soul of Unionism, * and on which President Lincoln and al! his Cabinet might stand and feel perfectly at home. On this platform Mr. Conness has . been nominated as a candidate for gubernatorial honors ; and, previous to his numination, Conness, with all his brother aspirants, solemnly pledged himself to-the entire cpéud ofthh platform. In the electioneering campaign, now about to open in earnest, it will be a trial of skill, between Conness and his Republican rival, Stanford, foreach to make himself appear the better Unionist. If the Secessionists de vot countercheck the Republicans and Union Democrats, by bringiag out and electing some heterodox politician, the people of the state are sure, in the persone of Conness and Stanford, of electing a thoroughly Unionistic governor next September. At this present writing we know not upon whom the favors of the Convention may be ehowered,as nominees for Congress and state Officers, but, judging from the decisiyevote for Conness, we have a right to expect that the Union element will pervade all the nomiions. The Union Convention, advertised ‘to Gome off next Saturday, will have nothing ‘todo but select the best material from the Republican and Union Democratic tickets. — Where all are pledged to the integrity of the Republic, the only considerations that can affect the selection of a third ticket,frem the two already in the field, are those which regard relative capability and honesty. But, whether the proposed Union Convention will et next Saturday ; or, if it sit, that it will make a conglomerate ticket, is.a matter about which we have not the gift of prophecy. ‘We shall know something about it next week. ‘ae It is a pleasant thing fora good Union man, _ who is nether a Republican nor a Democrat to have two good tickets, filled with good men, from which, eclectivély, to make a still better one for himself. Our intention is to vote for the best men, next September; and, as it would-be but throwing away our vote. to throw it for anybody not on either of the ‘party tickets, we shall give our ballot for the least objectionable pets of the party Conventions, and leave the issue with Providence. Though, with us, a rational devotion to the Union must be a desideratum, if not a sine qua non, in the candidate who shall get our vote, yet none of us should forget that the interests of our own particular state ought notto be overlooked, in inventorying ‘the qualifications of the men who ask our suffrages.

How high on the scale of prosperity California would now be, had all her public funetionaries rendered her able and faithful servico, there is no guessing; but that she would be much higher than she is, it needs no ghost to come from the grave to tell us.— Tt is now high . time that considerations of public good, rather than of partisaa domination, should enter to ourelections. Therefore,while we,who are good Union men, vote for men true to the integrity of the Amen_ an Republic, let-us be certain thatthey are We in wi by Col, u ns A TRIP TO WASHOE a ‘ Number 2. ee Notwithstanding the constant cotmunipostion between Washoe and California, very imperfect ideas are obtained regarding that territory in this State. This is partly owmg to the rapid growth of the towns of the terntory -~so that a visitor of a few months since is: surprised upon a re-visit by the progress in substantial imprévements made in his absence. Virginia City is now about the same in size'and population as Nevada City. A nutiber-of excellent brick and stone buildings have been erected and a good supply of water isurnished by pipes leading thrqugh the town. The streets sre uneven and ex-: tremely dusty ; but a good deal “of grading is going on, and by another year the town will bé not merely a noisy bee hive, but handsome and regular in appearances: From Mount Davidson, back of Virginia, through Gold Hill and Silver City, a distance of six miles, the road is. lined with houses and mills, musical with a buey populatjon. For monthe past the been no Jaw in the territory, except moral* restraint and public opinion; yet the c@zounities have been generally orderly and pescgable. When it is considered that the vast riches developed in the variote leadsghave furnished. temptation for violence; that thoveands of. pounds of rich amalgam are daily extracted in the mills, and transported over the rosds, that there is no police fo protect private property, and little likelihood of punwhment for crime of any kind, and that a population drawn trom all parts ot this State is mixed up together ; algo that exciting political topies have added to the inflamability of passion, it is a remarkable faet that peace and good order have generally prevailed, and that a residence in Washoe is ag safe for a peaceable man, as in any part of California. There ate now in the territory, in active operation twenty-one mills, many of them very large and costly. One of these mills, from February to June, took out twentythree tons of amalgam. A large additional number of mills are being constructed. The great want felt there is of water for mulling purposes. Hence many mills are erected in Carson River, ata distance from the ledges. Fuel is also very scarce, pine wood—there 18 no oak—being readily sold at $8 per cord, delivered atthe mills. / e I was much astonished at the width of the leads, they far exceeding all my previous experience of quartz ledges, some of them that I saw being forty feet in width. I visited the excavations of the Mexican Company, the Ophir and the Gould & Curry. The finest work I saw was in the Ophir, a lead of great . richness. The whole width of the ledge is breasted out, and massive tim! ers, beautifully hewn, support the superincumbent mountain. The lead of the Gould & Curry mine struck me as being the richest—though my inexperience in silver ore may have misled me.— One of the finest enterprises in the territory is the Latrobe Tunnel and Mining Co’s tunnel.’ This structure commences in the flat below Virginia City, and is designed to penetrate to the Comstock lead, a distance of 3000 feet. One thousand feethave already been completed. The tunnel is opened for a double track, and is six and one-half feet in the clear, substantially supported by heavy hewn timbers, and will cost about $80,000. It is designed-to facilitate the working of the companies on the lead, and to drain water from the claims—which water will be verycp valuable for milling purposes. The proprietors expect to get fifty inches of water from it. ’ It is estimated that the yield by the térri. tory of the precious metals already equals the heavy investments that have been made of outside capital. Whether this is so or not,ne intelligent observer can doubt that there is a substantial basis for the heavy improvements going on. The territory is rich. The days “wild cat” speculation have given way to sir development. Men no longer run t with pockets full of rocks, and talk of “indications.” ‘That is played out, and instead, they gu seriously at work. They need & branch mint very badly, ag it costs them six per cent to get returns for their bullion from San Francisco. . The weather was extremely warm while were agreeable, as dispelling the heat—not boisterous and disagreeable as I had expected. Ieaw some creditable garden patches, growing vegetables, proving the soil to be camay not give way yet to luxuriant fields of grain, Nevada hills would have been derided as a visionary. Yet Washoe is scarcely more bleak . that day. . lieve, the southern pulpits are not much beWashoe has its fair share of loafers, as well as hearty workers. “A good many men are millionaires without 4 cent in their pockets. Too poor to develop their claims, they have. faith that these are rich, and without doubt ‘many of.them are. A good many refused large offers in the speculative. days, holding on for higher’prices, and are left with depreciated claims. They will wait longbefore another golden shower falls, fur undeveloped leads are utterly unsaleable. Prove that a lead will pay acertain.per centage upon an investment, and it can be readily sold ; for the actual returns of some leads have demonstrated beyond a question that the precious ‘metals are abundant in the territory, and capitalists will buy a good thing as readily as. formefly. But they will not touch a ledge that has not been proved, by actual panning out: to be valuable. A.A. S. BLOODY-MINDED PARSONS. Southern editors— those ofthe strong se. cession stripe—lay the blame of all the troubles that now dfflict the Republic. to the northern preachers. They accuse these gvspel messengers of being too much. governed by the literal sense of Christ's assertion, that he “came not to bring peace on the earth but a sword,” and, thereupon, arraign them as the most vindictive and bloodyminded clase of people in America. There is considerable truth in this. There is a emart sprinkling of. fanaticism in many of the northern pulpits ; and where there is fanaticism there is vindictiveness, aud where there is vindictiveness, there 1s the passién for killing. But, there is much reason to behitid those of the north in their breathings of iood and slaughter. Mr. Russel, correspondnt of the London Times, writing from Montgomery, the temporary seat.of govern ment of the Cotton Confederacy, in describing the morning ceremonios in the Confederate Congress, of which he was a witness, thus speaks of the Chaplain’s prayer: ‘* Howell Gabb took the chair, and a white headed clergyman was called upon to say prayers, which he did upstanding, with outstretched hands and closed eyes, by the side of the Speaker. The prayer was long ‘and sulphureous—one more pregnant with gunpowder I never heard. The . reverend ‘gentleman prayed that the Almighty might be coe to inflict on the arms of the United tates such a defeat that it might-be the example of signal punishment forever ; that this. President might be blessed, and that the other President might be the other thing ; that the gallant, devoted young soldiers who are fighting. for their country might not suffer trom exposure ‘to the weather or from the bullets of their enemies ; and that the base mercenaries who are fighting on the other side might come to swift and sure des truction; and so on.” It is possible that some of the northern parsons can excel this Cotton Confederacy Chaplain in murderous bitterness, but we doubt it. The fact is, that the ministers of religion, on both sides of the Mason and Dixon Line, appear as thirsty for blood as famished wolves when they light ona flock of sheep. Terrible telluws are these rampant warrior preachers. Thank Heaven ! there are not many of them in California. ee eee ANNOUNCEMENT EXTRAORDINARY.— The N.

There is a emart sprinkling of. fanaticism in many of the northern pulpits ; and where there is fanaticism there is vindictiveness, aud where there is vindictiveness, there 1s the passién for killing. But, there is much reason to behitid those of the north in their breathings of iood and slaughter. Mr. Russel, correspondnt of the London Times, writing from Montgomery, the temporary seat.of govern ment of the Cotton Confederacy, in describing the morning ceremonios in the Confederate Congress, of which he was a witness, thus speaks of the Chaplain’s prayer: ‘* Howell Gabb took the chair, and a white headed clergyman was called upon to say prayers, which he did upstanding, with outstretched hands and closed eyes, by the side of the Speaker. The prayer was long ‘and sulphureous—one more pregnant with gunpowder I never heard. The . reverend ‘gentleman prayed that the Almighty might be coe to inflict on the arms of the United tates such a defeat that it might-be the example of signal punishment forever ; that this. President might be blessed, and that the other President might be the other thing ; that the gallant, devoted young soldiers who are fighting. for their country might not suffer trom exposure ‘to the weather or from the bullets of their enemies ; and that the base mercenaries who are fighting on the other side might come to swift and sure des truction; and so on.” It is possible that some of the northern parsons can excel this Cotton Confederacy Chaplain in murderous bitterness, but we doubt it. The fact is, that the ministers of religion, on both sides of the Mason and Dixon Line, appear as thirsty for blood as famished wolves when they light ona flock of sheep. Terrible telluws are these rampant warrior preachers. Thank Heaven ! there are not many of them in California. ee eee ANNOUNCEMENT EXTRAORDINARY.— The N.
