{te TUESDAY MORNING, MARCH 17. MIGRATORY.—The time for the reguler spring inigrations has cume again and dozens of citizens, some of them old ones, are avail-ing themeelves of the fine weather, good roads,and.cheap fare on Mc’Cue’s opposition Stage line, to visit the rich mining couatry lying along the eastern base of the Sierra “Hevada, Our own citizens are not alone affected with the migtatory fever, bet‘our sister town, Grass’ Valley, and of the larger places in the State are troubled with -ittoo. Every day sees the advent of a lot of San ‘Fratciscans among us, on their way across “the mountains. Every year our State has an exodws for some place or places of reputed mineral wealth. Gould Lake, Gold Bluff, Kern River and Frazer River, have each had their day. Lately-the-rusb_has _been-to_thesilver-region which extends to-an indefinite length slong the eastern base of the mountains: forming the eastern boundary of California, Luckity the whole of that stretch of territory abounds in precious metals, and the seekers after them are not in general subject to the usual disappointments of those who are alive to every new excitement. Washoe is arich region. The Huimboldt country is fast acquiring » reputation. Esmeralda has a reputation which promises to ‘be lasting, and so have Coro and Slate Range. But the especial excitement of this moment is in favor of Reese River. Towards this latter section most of our Nevada stragglers are heading at this time. The rush is so great that the regular ‘‘spring blues" are troub~ ling those who are compelled to remain. Ev. : ry spring we have the eame state of affuirsA large number start off after fortunes leaving the remainder to bewail the dying condition of Nevada. And yet somehow, the town and the people manage to keep up a respectable appearance and even flourish. * These periodicical migrations and periods _of despondency are the inevitable consequenes of new discoveries and excitements, and ' they must continue, perhaps for.ever. So long us there ia such a vast extent of territory meh in hidden wealth unexplored pr undeveloped, so long muet there be excite~ ments and emigrations. come inour era when the last gold or silver mine willbe discovered, and until that time there is no probability that every pereon will be satisfied that the spot where he is can be the best inthe word. and be content to settle down and call ita home for life.— Yet there are strong inducements for enter» prizing men to remain here and trust to the tuture. Never was there in the history of thie section a more encouraging period than at present, 80 far as thé quartz interest is concerned. The rich leads that are constantly being brought to light are really as. tonishing. It is no sure thing, that those of our citizens who are rushing to some«far off place after silver mines will do better than by going at work earnestly to develop the wealth that lies all around us and. under our feet. Scalp tuoniiplniaaite ions lag WAS SARGENT A CANDIDATE ?—The San Francisco Spirit of the Times takes the ground that Sargent was nota candidate before the late Union Legislative caucus for the United * States Senate. The grounds for the position are, that at a meeting of the Senatorial oxundidates held last full at the Russ House, called for the purpose ef obtaining money ‘from these candidates to carry on the canvass, Sargent said he was not a candidate and withdrew from the meeting. The fact that Sargent received 47 votes, and within four of a nomination, would seem to’show that Sargent: was a candidate and a pretty stroag one at that. But whethet he was a candidate at his dwn instigation, is another question. We know that he shrank from it at first, and even up to the time of his leaving for Washington he felt a diffi dence in having his name presented aa a candidate. Probably he felt that diffidence when before the State Central Committee. — But so faras contributing to the expenses of the canvass is concetned, it ie known that he did contribute, not only te the State Cen_tral Committee, but in other ways. “ We do not regard it as a disqualification if a candidate is posseased of a little more modesty and alittle less assumption than his fellows, On the contrary a little mote hesitation on the part of politicians would be con_ sidered a cardinal virtue with the people. The time will not] ” amore ipforna} i liar than the ramento Bee cannot be fouad ot: on this ot We give p specimen brick : In the other day that the imme’ dato gr x toe éause of the hostility of 4He Nevad ANSCRIPT to the Capitol approvenation arouse frourthe facet that ite candis date for Senator did-not succeed, -we were not exaggerating, ax those acquainted with that journal well know. Now, that we are opposed tothe Capitolappropriation for the reason stated every-" body knows to be false, for -we opposed Sacramento as the Capital ‘of the State years before Mr. Sargent was before the Legislaalso, guilty of another falsehood in stating that it had said ona —former occasion that . our hostility arose from Sargent’s defeat.— We have never seen such astatement in that -) paper before, and it comes to this office pretty ° regularly. “At-anv. rate, if it has twice made the same remark it is guilty of reiterating a falsehood. If if is any consolation to the Bee we can assure its lying editor that we opposed the removal of the Capital from Benecia in 1854. The Sacramento presses expect to carry the Capitol tax bill by a lying coup de main. They may succeed at it. They have got a few men, seeking official positions, completely cowed, so that they would vote the last dollar of a poor widow for the benefit of Sacramento. Once more, we tell the Sacrainento Bee that its editor is wilfully lying against us becaus6 we oppose an unjust tax, and we know he knows he is lying. Capiret Tax Bitt.—The Capitol Tax Bill comes up-again for discussion in the Assembly to-day. One of the strong reasons urged why more money should be expended at Sacramentw is, that there has been a hundred and fifty thousand dollars spentalready and it will be lost -if more is not added to it. “Let the hide go with the tail’ isthe pith of this argument. i EASTERN News.—San Fraacisco, March 14.—The Associated Press has the following dispatches : Washington, March, 13.—The Senate voted to adjourn at 2 o’clock to-morrow. The Secretary of the Treasury went to New York this morning for the pnrpose, it is stated, of raising $100,000,000 for immedis ate wants, viz: $50,000,000 from sales of 20 years bonds and $50,000,000 ‘by the issue of new bonds authorized by the recent law.The appeiptment of Edward Conner of California, aa Consul to Guaymas hasbeen cohfirmed. “Kaan Wis arrested to-day with papers in his possession, proving that he had crossed our lines eight tines as an agent of the rebel government. Other things being equal, disabled soldiers are tu be selected as Provost Marshals undeg the National Militia law, in preference to me er appointments. Itis rumored that the rebels are preparing to cross the Rappahannock and attack Mooker, but it is net credited. Gen. Blair has been urged for the command. of the Department of Texus. For the past twodays applicants for passports are requiréd, under the conscription law, to give bonds in the anm of $2,000 and affirmation that they have not been drafted or mustered into the service of the Udited States. The Commissioner of Internal Revenue decides that all papers of whatever nature used in ebtaining pensions, are not subject to stamp dyty. , New York, March 14.—Thie following additional news by the Australian has been received. Liverpool, March 10th. —The Prussian Chamber of Deputies has passed a resolution in favor of neutrality in the affairs of Poland, by & large majority. It is reported that the Rieileas have been agninseverely beaten. The Czar of Russia announces that the Russians have been beaten near Malla Gos zesb; after tn engagement ef five hours the town was in ruins. The Polish question continues to be the prominent topic, and was the ‘subject of-an inportaut debate in the House of Commons. All the speakers condemned the Russian policy, but the Gevernment was left untramells ed by any resolutions, Thé feeling iu Paris. continued decidedly favorable to the Poles, but. the general ims pression was that diplowatic means would suffice to settle the matter. An important debate was progressing in . the Prussian» Chamber, on neutrality. The policy of the Government interfering Was ve hemently attacked by many speakkers. — Tue Cunard Liverpool, New York. and Philadelphia, and-the Hamburg and Bremen lines of steamers, have decided to make the passage money to Europe payable in gold or ite equigalent in currency, which is equal to an advance of forty or fifty per cent.

THE name Winoos,: which is used so often in naming ships. and which is now upon one of thé best gunboats in the Navy, is derived from a legend of Northern New Hampshire Winona was a daughter ofan Indian chief, who.bad rescued from the handa of the sava~ ges a traveller by the name of Thornton, with whom she eloped, and whom she subsequently married.

Thornton, after performing the last sad rites for his devoted. wife, removed to Boston, where, in the busy world, he hoped to forget . this unhappy occurrence. Twenty years rolled by, when one day, a traveller came to a public house in Winchester, New Hamp-~ shire, andafter depositing his luggage, hustened to a grove of cedar, and waa found the next day, lying by the grave of Winona, dead.
