SUNDAY MORNING, MARCH 29th. a Yuna versus Nevava.—The county of Yuba is the parent, or rather step~parent of Nevada, Until 1851, or for little more than a year. Yuba county extended to the sum“init and embraced the now countice of Neva-. da and Sierra. She pretended to exercise jurisdiction over the whole territory, and [. actually did so to the extent of collecting taxes and licenses and expending the money at Maryaville and io the immediate vicinity. So far as any information on the subject can be gathered, the going uba county hever expended a dollar off the present territory of Nevada, for roads, bridges, or any ibly informed; 1 to. pay. the expenses of the electioy-held in-thie-part-of.the county.when_ undef the name of Yuba. Even the bills of ustices of the Peace for services in criminal cases urising in this part of the territory of Yuba, were not paid, and are not paid to this day. One prisoner was sent from here to Marysville for safe keeping and he was let-out of jail promptly. Like the Colonies under Great Britain, we grew by Yuba’s neglect. We paid our regular taxes and licensea even upto the time and after the Legis« lature had made Nevada a separate county. Yuba claims that the collecting officer ran away with the money collected here; but that is no reason why we should at this late, day,.if ever, pay it. ovér-again. . Yuba county built a court house and jail before*her territory was divided. She built roads, but not outside of the present limits of Yuba. The whole territory contributed to these improvements. Yuba had the benefits, not we, of those improvements. We paid; she appropriated for herself. That's the way the matter stands in equity between the two counties, But, when the act of separation passed in 1851, it was provided that commissioners should be appointed by. the Courts of Ses~ sions of each of the counties to determine the indebtedness due from one county to the other, if any there might be. The commissioners were appointed and met, but were unable to agree. The commissioners of Yuba did not claim much from Nevada, but the commissat the battle of Shiloh,and John Anderson— deemed the boot ought to be on the other foot, and not being able to see why Nevada should pay more. when she had already paid without any return whatever, refused to ratify the judgment of the Yuba commissioners, and the commission bruke up without agree ing upon any basis of settlement. And from that day to this, during twelve years, we have heard about the claim of Yuba against Nevada. Yuba asserts that she was somewhat in debt when her territory was divided, and she wants us to pay a portion of it. But was not that debt created for public improvements left her, which were of no account to us, but nevessary to Yuba? They were left for her benefit, and surely she ought not to expect that we will pay for her jail and other public buildings and give them to her too. Atany rate the debt of Yuba is no fault of ours. ‘It was not on account of Ne-~ vada that the debt was created. This suppositious claim of Yuba hae been heard of twelve years. It has made its phantom appearance in the Legislature from time to time, but like-a ghost, in such an intangible or questionable shape that few could aay they saw anything worth noticing. The apparition has come again. The Yuba dele» gation in the Senate are the guardians of the ghost as usual. They insist it is a relation of ours that we ought to recognize, but “avaunt!” is the reply of the Nevada Senators. We hope the poor ghost will be lad so as not to haunt the dreams of the Yuba men any more. It has been a troublous phantom from the era when California time, was yonng down tothe present moment.— It ought to be buried, and the wizards of Yuba condemned fortheir incantations over the graveyards of the past. ‘ Tat SOLDIER BILt.—The Legislature bill giving oxtra pay to the soldiers stationed among us, is not passed.

On a reviewa short “CoprperneaDs.”—The aptoess of the term “copperhead” to those Northern Democrats who strike-at—the nation by opposing the Administration and the Govern -ment, will appear by the following descrirs . tion of the venomous reptile given in the N: B Tribune : The Copperhead is described by naturalists as ‘an American venomous serpent, the most dangerous after the rattlesnake.” This is perfeetly true, in letter and spirit; the rattlesnake represents South Carolina—see the first Palmetto flag ; the Copperhead reps resents your Northern traitor. The rattlesnake, with all its venom, has one virtue—it never strikes without warning; that-inevitable rattle gives yon timely notice of danger; but the Copperhead gives no sign of nttack Carolina gave long warning .of her purpose to strike—she shook her rattles and bured her fangs foryears before she made the spring at . Sumter. Your Copperhead is no such chivalrous foe; he hides imthe grass, silent and treacherous, springs upon you Whawares— no rattle, no hiss, buta lurking watehfulness and aleap at your throat, that might. for its perfect surprise, if not its success, excite envy in the breast.of an East Indian Thug. — The Copperhead prefers dark places—like the secret committee rooms of the Diffusion Society; gives no warning of its proximty— traitors never do; attacks directly only in self-defense—cowards always act thus; it is called “‘chunk-head,” from the ususual thickness of ite-skull; and ‘deaf ‘adder, because of its incomparable stupidity. It is one of the most poisonous and dangerous of reptiles; a sensual, besotted, cold, treacherous thing ; hiding in dark places; murdering the unwary traveler; living upon innocent birds; eowardly,; Femorseless, cruel. and loathsome.— There ig a remarkable fitness in the name— et the traitors be called ““Copperheads,” Gen.

Texas, itis said that Judge Terry urged upon hia political friends who accompanied him to the boat which carried him and. his fortunes to the lower coast of Cali-« fornia, the importance of “a union of both wings of the Democratic party, 80 as to carry the Fall electioos over the friends of the Administration. ‘Nothing can be more important,” said he, “than a great Demo. cratic victory in California, Such a victory will show the Federal Government the flims ay texture of the cord which binds the Western to the Eastern States. It may bé,” he continued, scraping an old blood stain from hia waistcoat, ‘possible that the old Broder-ick Democrats will object to meeting with us, nut having forgotten our old feuds, but I trust their better judgment will prevail ; without their he!p the State will have to be given up to Black Republican rule for the next four years, which will make life in Cal~ ifornia intloerable to any oneot my manner of thought.” It remains to be seen whether Terry’s pro~ gramme will be carried out in the State Convention of the Peace party: —Sierra Democrat. y ices pstarsie UNVEILING A STATUE-IN ST.
