Nad Maco pat appr dana ee = BY TELEGRAPH, == NEVADA. CITY. TUESDAY, JULY 16th, 1861. THE POLITICAL CAMPAIGN. T£'will not be long ere the party candidates and stump speakers will be out inal! their noisy glory. The Republicans and Douglas Demberats have selected their State and county tickets, and have nothing to do, now, but to pitch into each other, secundum artem. Between these two redoubtabie parties the quartel is altogether dne of organization and spoils-seeking supremacy, for if there is any material difference of principle between them it will take an eight hundred horse-power *4alescope to perceive it. Their platforms vie with each other in professions of devotion to the Uuion and reverence for the National Constitution. Both parties have solemnly pledged themselves, in their State and county conventions, to do as much good and as little evil as possible, Nothing canbe said against . their creeds, and very little against their candidates. How they will manage to get up'a furious partisan war is beyond our comprehension. But politicians are ingetiious, and they will soon, in some way or other, find plenty,of vexed questions over which to snarl and bite. With but few exceptions, these two parties have submitted very good tickets to the consideration: of the veting public. A no-. party man, ofit of the two sets of tickets, can . easily arrange a ticket for himself which he can_pat—into the ballot-box without: feeling ashamed of himself, If “the Breckin. ridge Democrats, whose atate and county conventions are yet in the womb of the future, adopt the same policy in their nominations, they will confer an immense benefit upon us quid nunes, who have no higher political principles than an ardent desire to fill ‘the offices with the best men.— Our Breckinridge friends, however, if they persist in constituting theinselves the champions of south. ern secession, will find the road to success rather difficult, iu the present temper of the Californians. Their etate convention is to come off ou the 23d of this month, when. perbaps, they will find it politic to materially modify the platform they adopted a short time.ago. But, whether they mend their "platform or not, let-us beg of them to give us good nominations. Let us have honesty and capability in all the offices. That is our platforma. ; f , Henwness Pass Post Roure.—At the lasteession of Congress an, act was passed, which was approved. by the President on the 27th Feb., 1861, establishing certain post routes in several states, among which is ove designated as follows : e ‘¢ From Carson City, in the Territory of Utah, to Nevada City, passing over the Sierra Nevada, through the Henness Pass, with mail routes diverging therefrom: first, one leaving said near the western end . : of.Henness Pass, to Downieville, Sierra count ; and the second, leaving at Lake City, in the county of Nevada, via North San Juan, to Marysville, Yuba county.”There are not many people, in this section of California, aware of the establishment of this post route; but the entire act of Congress is te be found in the San Francisco Herald, of the 13th inst., where it is published by This route, it is needless for us to state, is of vast importance to this portion of the State of California as well as to a large district of the Washoe country. That the Postmaster General has not yet authorized mail service upon itis, no doubt, owing.to the ‘ingraded state of the Henness Pass road. Notwithstanding that the road is now filled with teams and mounted travelers, it is not yet ina conditien to fully warrant the placing ofa line of stage coaches upon it. ~ It is estiinated, by many persons whohave recently traveled the road, and who are competent judges of road making affairs, that the sum of ten thousand dollors, judiciously expen. ded, is amply sufficient to make this road the most level, best graded, and straightest route acrdss the Sierra Nevada. It gratifies 2 t energetically engaged in completing the road between Jackson's and Virginia City, and that, ere long, it will be in ample order for any clas® of stage coaches. « Firks IN San FRranctscd.—On the 12th inst, a fire consumed the Union Laundry and seven buildings, including the dwelling of Edwards. Loss $6,000. The fire was caused by children playing’ with matches. Another fire, the next morning, occurred in the iron building on the north-east corner of Montgomery and Washington streets.

TRANSCONTINENTAL TELEGRAPH.—The télegraph expedition, which, recently commenced operations to set up the line eastwardly from Fort Churchill, is making. excellent headway. Fifty miles of the line, beyond Fort Churchill, were completed nearly a week ago, and fifty wagons are employed in distributing the poles and wire along the line. An operhtor has been sent out to transmit pony dispatches from the eastern extremity of the line, wherever if may happen to be, as fast as it is extended toward Salt Lake. »From Salt Lake, westwardly, the same activity prevails, under the superin ce-of Mr. James Street, and it will not be long ere an unbroken electrical’ connection ‘will. be: established between San Francisco and the Capital of Mérmondom: On the other side, the work is. rapidly progressing between Fort Kearney and Salt Lake. z Remi ct siees tk The Apache Indians are carrying havoc throughout Arizona. Large set lements, in valleys and mining districts, have been broken up, and the inbabitants murdered or-driven off. The details of the latest intelligence from that region, for which we have not space, are shocking in the extreme. Messilla Valley, so far. has escaped, but the savage fiood is rapidly rolling towards it, and it must soon share the fate of. the other settlements. In seceding from the Union, and dispensing with the. protectior afforded by the U.S. troops, the Arizoniana, it is now very evident, perpetrated a grave blunder—giving it a no worse name. FourTH OF JULY IN WASHOE.—According to the Washoe Times, a very ably conducted paper, published in Silver City, the anutversary of our National Independence wna celebrated, throughout all Washoe, with the most emphatic demonstrations of respect At Virginia City the occasion was sanctified by an enthusiastic and unanimous manifestation of the Unionsentiment. Our fellow eitizen, A. A. Sargent, Esq., delivered the oration at Virgmia City, of the character of which the Washoo Times thus expresses its opinions : ‘We have never hstened to a more patriotic or sensible » ey than the one delivered on the Fourth, by A.

W. Baldwin, a son of Judge Baldwin, of the Supreme Court, and a native of Alabama, isa genuine Union man. He resides in Downieville, and recently had a brisk discussion, through the papers, with Thornton, the late secession Senator from Sierra county. On the 4th, of July he delivered ‘an oration in Oroville which breathes the very soul of Aimerican patriotism. In the subjoined paragraph he thus eloquently expatiates on the loyalty of Cahfornia to the Union: Like the devoted woman who, when her warrior lover came home from the wars, all mtimed and shattered and disfigured, vowed to wed him if enough of his body was left to hold his soul, California will cling to the Unien while enough of it-remnizis to administer the Constitutiou, and maintain national existence. She has no ambitious hopes outside of the Union. No lure can tempt her beyond its pale. Her affections and her duty are with it. She turns a deaf and scornful ear to the oftered bribe of Pacific Republic. California’s heart speaks the language of animmortal son of Massachussetts : She goes for the Union to the, lust beat of the pulse and the last drop of blood. She knows that there—there—in that @.deured name—beneéuth that charmed flag— dimong those glorious old graves—in that ample and secure repown, that there she has garnered up her heart—there she must either live or bear no life. With the sisters of the Republic, less or more, she would live, avd would die—one hope, one lot, one life, one glory. <i San FRANCISCU REPUBLICANS, —The Republican County Committee of San Francisco, held a meeting on Tuesday evening, and resolved that books of registry should be opened in each election district, and none but these who were registered -should hereafter vote at Republican primary elections.— There was a good deal of debate-on this, but it earried. They resolved, too, that it was not the proper thing to have any Federal officers on the Connty Committee.

A DELICATE ADVENTURE —On reaching his enbin, the chief presented me to his daughter. » As this was the first time I had ever been presented at a court where such costumes were in vogue, IT was somewhat embarrassed. You have heard of the North Carolina major who considered himself in full dress when he had on a hat and pair of spurs ; but cander compels me to say that the beauty of this dusky maiden was even less ‘‘ adorned.” Then, too, her manners were of a description ill-caleulated to set a bashful man at-exse ;-for, as it was the firs? time she had ever seen a white man, she had a greal deal of curiosity respecting my com. plexion, form, etc. She felt of my hair, endleavored to rub the white off my chin, pulled my beard,: and teok divers other’ liberties with me, with an innocence that was refreshing. The third day after my introduction into her presence, the old chief signified to me that she wanted me for a husband,‘and this intimation was so fervently seconded by her eyes and lips, that I was glad, of course, that our versel arrived just in time to allow me to beat a graceful retreut.—Crowley’s Adventures in the MulLraves, m DIED. _In this city, on the 14th.
