_-#um thus brought to taxation—will-aasist-the . —but-was swept-awdy by the-torretrias Tall tendency to wipe aut the county indebtedS ed. In bridges the loss has been heayy.— THURSDAY MORNING, MAY Prospects of THE CoUNry. — The storms of the winter, though less destructive here than in the lower regions of the State, have not passed ani left our county uotouchAS, Scarce a private bridge in the whole county -vonds, too, have beew seriéusly injured de-_ pteciating their value of coarse. Tunnels haye been damaged, quartz mines flooded and injured, and ranches have been cut up and the stuck starved and renderéd alinost worth~less,—-On-—various kinds of property therehas been a sensible loss, though we have reason to be thankful that the county escaped the ravages of floody in the way it has.— Nevertheless, a comparison of the value of certain Kinds of property as given on the Assessor's books of last year and this, will show a great diminution, 'Yet in spite of “all this, through the fearless and energetic services of the present county Assessor, the valuation of property in the county prowises to hot only reach the old figure, but actually exceed it, poasibly sw half million of dollars. Assessor McKee goes at: bis work with no thought-of preparing for @re-election, but to do his whole duty as ho finds it defined in the statutes. He designs to get allfthe property in the caunty subject.to taxation on his list, and aw fur as he hes gone, itis _cuneeded he has done pretty clear werk of _1t. In this township property not heretofore listed to the value of $200,000 has been found, and it is thought more than that amount willbe brought to lightin Grass Valley township by the time it is thoroughly assessed. * The revenue to be derived from the extra . county materially in the way of extinguishing the debt. This together with the prudent ananner in which the Board of Supervisors watch over county expenditures, will have a pdness even tuater than has beon done in the past, so that we have the strongest hope that in one year from the present time the county will owe less by thirty thoysand dollars than to-day—an important item and in the right direction. ‘The new Chinese tax law will assist materially in bringing about this result ifwell enforced. ‘The prospects of the county, we therefore regard as exceedingly promising notwithstanding the depréagion of the times caused by 9 war of the elements and warof men. Tut Chinese Tax Lis Ths San Francisco Journat says that Gov. Stanford has { signed the bill levying a monthly tax of $2,50en all Chinese in this State, and this ex~ “@ellont measure is now a law of the land. A writer in the Bulletin who is bitterly opposed te the law, estimates that if.properly enforced, it will compel the Chi ese to pay a tax of from $1,860,000 to $2,040,000 per annum. If this estimate ig correct, and we believe it is not far out of the way, the new law, after deducting exponges of collecting, losses by evasion of the tux, ete. will yield an annual revenue of wore than $1,000,000 half of which we believe goes into the State Treasury, ie the other half iate the County Treasuries. Sau Francisco’s share of the tax will be nearly half enough to pay the in. tereat ou'her debt, if the tax is properly col. lected. But thé revenue to be derived from the operations of the law may be co the least of its henefita; it will have the effect of checking Chinese immigratidn if.it does not stop it altogether, and will in time eelieve our State of a large and utterly worthlege clags*of ite population. We truat the Jaw will be strictly enforced in every part of the State. Avvenr Parer.—We bavo received the first number of “ The World's Crisis,” a new paper published at San Francisco, and of the Millerite persuasion. The editor, J. L. Hopkius, in his salutatory, says: “The world ison the eve of great. changes. Events of gréat importance are rapidly drawing near. It is wise to note them closely, and ponder ‘them well. We are beginuing te hear the distant thunder of 4 coming storm.” We are sorry to see Bro. Hopkins fall ins to the error of ‘taking the Southern Confederacy far the whole world, and mistaking McClellan's big guns for the trump of Unele Gabriel. Tell you, Bro. Hopkins ; the world / is not going to dry up till the rebels are boautifully lieked, the continuation of the blue lead ig struck and the rich claims at Quager pf ay 0 ee ad red . rdui hig seat when the Hardy Im ae } was pending t He was sit» administer justice to . fo leona, eb He ot Maepaiite wills the: trial is gcing on and should have no vote on the final decisive ballot unless: he has been on hand to hear the-evidence. There are so. many secessionists: and. dubs. jous men_in the Senate_that_it has always been considered a matter of some doubt . whether a constitutional yote-of two thirds could be obtained to impeach Hardy, though ihe testimony is regarded sufficiently strong to send him higher than Gilderoy's kité. One vote may set him free again to curse the people of Calaveras county, and that vote may be Charley. DeLong's. If so ‘he ought to pay the enormous expense the State has been to in making the attempt to convict Hardy. THe World's Horse Fair will beheld at ‘Chicago, Illinois, commencing on the second day of September next, and continue two weeks. The-fair will be open to all nations for competition, and it is expected that the collection will be the finest ever exhibited at a fair ip America. Premiums to the amount of $25,000 willbe given. There willbe a thousand dollars premium for the best running horse, one mile, and also a five hundred dollar premium for the best lady rider, with equestrian exbibitions every day, anda series of elk races and gther novelties Stock, farm and road horgeg will receive one-third of thepremiums, which are the largest ever ‘given. Forney says, ‘‘there is not an old Democratic Statesman, nt least among the survivors of the old Juckson school. in thé loyal States, who is not the conscientious foo of the slave oligarchy. Ineed only mention, in proof of this assertion, such names af. J: Walker, George Bancroft, Daniel S. Dickingon, David. Tod, W. F. Packer, Andrew. Johnson Amos Kendall, Martin Van Buren and Franci\P. Blair, to give the reader something worthy) of reflection sud self-examination?’ ~-_—-—~» SOUTHERN MEN LIKE CONFISCATION.— When Andy Johnson made his speech to the people of Nashville. that part of it telling them the rich Seceéssionists who were guilty of bringing on the war should be made to pay for it, was received with marked approbation. The Union people Suuth who understand the nature of the Sevession beast ara-in favor of confiscation. Your dish-water northern “Union man only objecta. ——————. re Tue Newburyport Herald states that one United States gunboat, two ships, six barks, and four schooners, having an aggregate tonnage of fifty-nine hundred tons, have been built on the Merrimae river during the year 1861; and there are now ou the stocks three ships and a-bark measuring altogether furtyeight hundred tons. t#” Seven hundred and fitty-one passen gers left San Francigeo on Thuraday fur the new gold fields, in the Pacific.

It ia added that some of the heaviest dealers in Sacramento have expressed their willingness to remove. The site was several feet above the last great flood. Tue Placer Courier suys that business is reviving at Forest Hill, the miners are generally doing well, and the people appear sate isfied with themselves and the reat of mankind. Trout Fashiae in Gold Lake, Sierra county, is very good this season. . Two persons take ten or twelve dozen by means of hooks and lines, and dispose of thom i in Downieville. EF Not far trom 3,500 soldiers, mostly New York and Pennsylvania volunteers, are stationed at Key West, Florida, and the mosquitoes there are ferocious enemies, nett CHiNESsE.—The statistics show that 84,578 Chinese, male and female, had arrived in this State up toand ‘including April last and that 27.558 had departed. How many “have died here there’ is no means of knowing.

While such were his embarrassments in the detail of mente, the whole laud resvunded with the fieree threats of traitors in arms, and the wutterings ef a dangerous sy sympathy with their schemes by thousands in the loyal’ States. The Senate and the House of Representatives, the Constitutional Legislature, began to disintegrate before his eyes. . The Judiciary, a subordinate brauch of Government, was succumbing to the sireece that blew from the South—the Army and the Navy, the sworn conservatots and protectors of all, became the serpents to sting the Goveroment that warmed them ti life. Such was the ease with President Lineoln one year agu. Whatisitnow? He is safer in Washington than any King upon his throne. He has Departments that are purged and reinvigorated by the infusion ot new aud loyal men. He has a Congress that, though differing from bim at times toto celo, “and urged by their feelings to an ifresistible outburst of appeal to him to change his course, yet yield to his final decision with « ready grace that indicates full confidence in his justice and wisdom. Of all the millions that were taught to hate hit in the South, not one canbe found, after a year’s war, who can ‘truly say that President Lincoln bas uttered one word unworthy of himself, or done one act that, on his soul as an honest
man, he ought not to have done, after taking his oath of-office. The ariwy and the navy, that the President touwnd weak. dispersed, . and demoralized, have grown to be institations that may put the mightiest nations in awe. And as to popular support there is no loyal man of the mill.ons: that opposed biu that is not now his frieud and supporter, ia all effurts to sustain the Government as the Fathers made it. : He has thé modesty aid simplicity of Washington, as well as Washington's patient courage.” He has the statesmansbip of Hamiltou, to preserve uvimpaired the wonderful fabric of our Constitution that Hamilton molded. .
