Pevada Daily Transcript. Nevada County Official Press. WEDNESDAY MORNING, MARCH 4. — aaa amen “~gu ATE CAPITOLA bifl bas passed the ‘Senate by a large vote to impose an extra . tax of ten cents on each hundred dollars “worth of property in the State, for the pur“pose of building a State Capitol at Sacramente;—-One-of our Senators, Mr. Birdseye, voted against the: bill, and-in so doing ex~ pressed the will of his constituents, for among all:men who make any pretension to a knowledge of State affairs, and of the loca~ “tion and ciréumstances of Sacramento, there is but.one opinion in this community, s0 far as swe have heard it expressed. (and the matter is frequently discussed) and, that opin-. ~ ion is that no appropriation, for the present, at least, should be made to continue the building of the Capitol. It seems to us thst honorable Senators are, too many of them, aspiring to places on the State ticket, and-in view of the malignity. visited upon thoee in the past who have not. favored Sacramento, they fear to encounter » the hatred of the Union, and, therefore, they vie with each other in puffing the spot, that a-very large number of the most promioent men of the State, to our positive knowledge, ~ consider an unfit location for a State Cap~ itol, whilea great many others are opposed to an appropriation at the present time when __. ‘the _burthens of taxation are so great. The extra tax for Capitol purposes will require abeut five thousand dollars a year from Nevada county, and in order to complete the Capitol on the scale it has been commenced, that tax must be continued ten years at léast. We say it without the fear of contradiction, that, submit the question to the tax-payers of Nevada county, not one-fifth of the whole would favor such ¢ tax and such an expen. diture in these.times of National disaster.— The public mind entertains a doubt as to the fate of the Pacific coast and whilé” that doutt exists the people are not willing to see their hard earnings taken from them to benefit, perhaps, foreign enemies. Besides, there are grave doubts entertained as to the policy of locating the Capitol at Sdcramente. We see that a large number of the mémbers of the Legislature escape from the place to San Francisco-on Saturdayé, Dot tu return to their posts until Tuesdays. Ifacorrect account were kept of the visits of absentees to San Francisco, it would be found that the State suffers to the tune of many thousand dollars annuallyon aecount of the unwise location of the Capital at Sacramento. -The press has been complaining for years, and expressing a de, sirethat a better class of legislators should be elected who. would stay at their posts. but every year sees the same. disposition to” visit the Bay as often as possible. The free’ passage offered to members by the Steam Navigation Company isa great inducement for frequent visits. The Navigation Com-~ pany can afford’to dend-head the members, for except Sacrament» nobody is benefitted but the Company by retaining the Capital at Sacramento. The travel from a large city, like San Francisco, to the Capital is each session immense, and the Steam. Navigation ’ Company could afford to pay fifty thousand dollars a year to keep the Capital at. Sacramento, and still make money. Those who object to Sacramento remaining the Capital of the State reason thus :— The sediment carried dewn by our rivers is fant destroying the navigation, and Sacramento will soon be an inland town. The lesgons of the winter of 1861 and 1862 teach that the safety of the city is not certain, and y until assurance is given that floods are not going te devastate it, itis not good pelicy to make large State expenditures for a Capitol there. Sacramento is neither the commercial or geographical center of the State, nor are the people best accommodated by having the Capitol there. Most of those who hate Court House WALL AnD Fence.—The workmen were engaged yesterday in marking about the Court House. As we understand the propogftion,the Court House is to be sur-rotinded by nice solid wall five feet, high . on the outside and surmounted by an irenfence three feet high The yard is to be smoothed off and planted with shade trees. “In the language of a ‘celebrated. poet,” “Won't that be nice ?” led by the ery of fire on Monday trorning jast; whieh-originated ina building formerly occupied by Dr. Cranston. About 15 build-. ings were destroyed. ~ <> ANOTHER SOUTHERN PRIVATEER —It is stated in the Edinburg Scotchman that the Confederate Goverament has just completed the purchase of the Britannia, a steamer of the same build ani fast sailing qualities as the Alabama, and that she is at once to be put in commission and to receive her armament at sea. High Lire.—Bayard Taylor, while in the Arctic region in Winter, need to eat a ‘half thus apeaks of the cold which he endured in Lapland : — “J should have frozen at home in a temperature which I found very comfortable in Lapland with my solid diet of bread and butter, and my garment of reindeer skin. The following is a correct scale of the physical eftects of cold calculated for the latitude of 65 or 70 degrees north—15 above zero, uapleas~ antly warm ; zero, mild and agreeable ; 10 delow zero, pleasantly fresh and bracing ; 20 degrees below zero, sharp but not severely cold.

MINING ACCIDENT.—William Skewes a miner at Sugar Luaf, near Rough and Ready. right leg broken in two places, a large que rtz boulder falhng-on him. Dr Tyrrell, of this place, was called to see the injured man, set the limb, and reports Skewes as getting along tolerably well, although the accident is quite a severe one. RoBBED.—A man named William Geyer, a German, was robbed by two highway men, yesterday forenoon. near MeCoy’s saw mill, ou Deer creek, a few miles from Grasa Valley. Geyer was in the act of drinking from a spring, lying with his tace near the water, when two persons approached from behind and struck him on the back of the head, stunning him, snd robbing him of $230 in gold, $2 in silver, and a gold watch aud chain, the two latter worth $150. i CaveD On.—A_ man named Dodge, while ‘at work in.Gold Hill claims, at this place, ‘yeaterday afternoon, was caved on, and was ‘severely, although not fatally injured by the accident. Sena eee Or MELODEONS.—The Assembly has passed an anti-Melodeon, anti-hurdygurdy bill, which opens thus: “Every person who ehall cause. or employ, any female to dance, promenade, or otherwise exhibit herself for hire, drink. er gain, in any: melodeon. drinking saloon, dance cellar, ball room, public garden, public highway,or in any place. whatever, where there is connected therewith, in any manner, the sale or use, as a beverage, of any spirituous, vinous or malt liquors; and every person who shall allow any dancing. promenading, or exhibition, as herein mentioned, in any place [under his contvol or supervision, where two or more persone-are assembled together,” etc. _@—. A miner from the mountains stepped into the saleroom of one ofour wealthy merchants about four weeks since, stated that he was “flat broke,” and asked for one hundred and fifty dollars, offering to make over to the aforesaid merchant a mining claim for the money. The merchant knew nothing of the man or his claim, but gave him the money and took his bill of sale-—He thought no tore ofthe transaction ‘until a few days since. when a stranger called at his place of busi_ business with the Supreme Court or the otber branches of the Governnient have, al80, businessat San Francisco, and it is a detri~ ment to them rather than a cunvenience, to step in Sacramento one day or more. The geographical center of the State is somewhere in the region of Maripesa coun ty, but the commercial center is and always ‘ must be on the Bay of San Francisco. It is not impossible that the bulk of the population ef the State may, before many years, be south of Sacramento. The vast territory “in that direction invites it. If such should happen, it would bea positive inconvenience -to the great masses of our population if Sactamento is made the permanent Capital. \ suchaclaim. Receiving an affirmative answer, the stranger offered him $4,000 fur thesame The merchant hesitated a moment, when. tife_atranger added another thousand fo bis offer. The merchant immediately clowed with his visitor and pocketed the cash ‘without 4 further remarks. The mers chant js still ignorant as to whether he sold a folly or a fortune.—Mining Press. Richmond papers ‘say that the negroes employed there en fortifications are literally starved. The rations given them are: For and three and three quarters ounces of bread; the same of bread without meat for breakfast and supper—and the bread is heavy and indigestivble; altogether, twelve ounces of feod raising a row aboutthe matter. pound of meat at a meal te warm himself He while at work yesterday morning, had_his_ ness and asked him if he was the owner of dinner, three quarters-of an ounce of mest per day.

It appears that a company of 90 men of West’s command mutinied—refused to obey orders, and laid down their arms. Gen. West ap. peared before them immediately on learning “the fact, and ordered them to resume their ‘arins and return to their duty. A corporal became spokesman for the mutineers and refused to obey him. © Gen. West ordered him back, and the corporal refused to obey. Gen. West then ordered a detail from the mutinous company to shoot the corporal on the spat. —The-detail obeyed, but.on the first. freelevated their muskets, and the charges passed over his head. Ou the seeond fire they crossed muskets and missed him again. Gen. West then drew his revolver, andsword in-hand; pricked the men into their duty, at the same time threatening them with a simi~ lar fate if they missed their aim. On the third fire'the mutinous corporal was shot, and the balance of them imprisoned. This course was rendered absolutely necessary, as some four or five officers have beet shot and murdered by these men. One turn of the wheel has made large fortunes for some men inWall street’ The New York Post konws a speculator in gold, who, with $20,000 in paper money, purchas~ ed, with ths aid of his bank, $400,000 in gold at thirty-one and sold it at forty-one per cent. premium, realizing in afew days $40,000 t. This is what the world calls an honorable transaction. We heard of a gambler who the other night broke a “‘faro bank,” and went eff $10,000 winner. What is the real difference between the: $40,00J man and the $10,000 chap? Ls A MERCHANT of Salerno was carried off by brigands, who informed his wife that she must pay 200 ducats for his ransom. The poor woman managed to scrape together 70° ducats and sent them, but received in return a bit of her husband’s ear, with a message to the effect that his head would soon follow if the rest of the sum were not forthcoming. She then applied to her friends. and at length succeeded in collecting the remaining 130 ducats, on which her husband was released. SNCOURAGING.—The Washington Star, of the 28th January, in along article upon the present situation and military anticipations, says the prospect for the success of our arms was never™brighter than at this moment. Those informed upon the Government’s mil~ tary plans, conditions and positions of our forces, supplies, etc., are wel] aware of the fact, however ignorant of it the public at a distance may be. ___ THERE is _a_newspaper in Grant county, tle of the ‘National Broadaxe,” and has for “Our platform—the Star Spangled Banner.” The editor’s motto is, ‘‘Hew to the line, let the~chips fall where they may.” And he says “the Broadaxe is de voted to the dissem~ ination of national principles. Our country; first, lust, now und-forever. Banish political corruption, and bury the war-club of party.” Neat and hand-some cars well ventilated and provided with berths, have-been placed upon the railroad between Washington and New York for the transportation of invalid soldiers. ie A MASS eonvention of the loyal men of Colorado Territory, who are in favor of a more vigorous prosecution of the war was held in Denver City on the 2ist and 22d inst. — CatTnouic Cuurcu.—It is said that the Roman Catholics of Howland Flat, Sierra county, California, intend erecting church ; next summer. It is stated that certain parties in Washingten have been dealing extensively in Confuderate notes, with the Southérn families that left for the South recently. Mrs. DouGtas, widow of the late Senator Douglas, denies that she is to be married to either Seeretaay Chase, or Chief Quartermaster Ingalls. ~~ : THE Oregon Sentinel says that there is uite an inquiry among the farmers of the ogue River Valley, in that State, for tobacco seed. . THE Chronicle insists that »Confederate Commodore was in Victoria, and that a plan was on foot to fit outa Confederate pirate in that port but the scheme fell through, owing to dissatistaction and disagreement among some of the parties. THE Placer Courier speaks hopefully of the copper prospects in that county. Smart ‘judications” have been found at Shirt Tail Hell’s Delight ———— EO ——— . the price of his paper on getting married.— He was right. A married man’s newspaper is worth more than a bachelor’s.
