Ghe Morning Gransevipt. Office, No. 36 Commercial street. NEVADA CITY—_——_.———_——— TUESDAY MORNING, OCT. 8th. NOT BORN TO DIE. An item is going the rounds that Gen: Nathaniel Lyon, the Hero of the West. in his iast will and testament bequeathed to the country for whieh he yielded up his life, all his property valued at $30,600. A more fitting bequest for such a man could not have been made. Gen. Lyon loved his country with an ardor not to be extinguished but with his latest breath. In life'as in death his devotion was tnarked and heroic. History will tell his story for the admiration of future ages: If-will tell of his Spartan heroism, and ‘-gloriots death. It will recount his private virtues, his manliness and desinterested patriotism, rising above all selfish desire for personal honors and looking only to the preservation, the honor and glory of the country he loved so well. : When we look at the sublime spectacle of @ patriot General with but a handful of inen into whom he had infused his own intensity of patriotic: purpose, staking all against immense odds to stay the march of ruthless enemies, as did Gen. Lyon, even in the darkest hour of our country we need not despair. The spirit of liberty still lives and will beat-back the brutal frunt.of rebelhon till it shall be raised no more. ° The death of a patriot like Gen. Lyon will make a thousand heroes of the living who will. strive to eclipse his’ deeds or rival his dexth. His pame is not written on the roll of common men. He is not consigned to the ** heartless juxury of a tomb,” but his living virtues will ‘bloom and diffuse their iuspiriting fragrances through all time as long as lofty integrity shall find « home .in the human heart. New Reaime. —The new offieers of the county, all Republieans, began their terns on ' yesterday, to end in March, 1864. The new regime was unnounced by unfurling a fine new American flag from the top of the Court House, where the officers propese it shall wave while a shred remains. . ~ We understand the following appointments have been made: Sheriff Knowlton has selected Henry Philips, Esq., well known as a good business man and gentleman, as Under Sheriff, and Wm. Hazlett, Esq., as Jailor. These gentlemen are bound to give entire satisfaction in the discharge of their duties. We learn that J. N. Turner, County Collector, has not completed his appointments. Israe] Crawford, Esq., of North San Juan, and John Bennett, Esq., of Grass Valley, will probably be collectors of foreign miners’ licenses, and Samuel Keller, collector of poll “Joseph Roberts will be retained till the first Of Jauuary. in the Clerk and Recorder’s office—and_ very properly, too, as his long and thoroughacquaintance with the business in that office reiiders his services indispensible for the time being. ; A gentleman named Fsink, of Omega, becomes the Deputy of John Sykes in the Recorder’s department. In the Treasurer’s office, whith, by the way, will be kept atthe old place, Mulferd & Hagadorn’s banking house, it is undérstood Henry Mackie, Esq., as competent a gentleman for that or any other position he would accept as any man in the land, will act as Deputy, as be has done under the very satisfactory administration of Ex-Treasurer Chinn. We are not informed of the probable appointment of Surveyor Bradley. Probably, as the labors of that offffe are not onerous, he may choose to perfptin them himself. Knowing the officeéfs elect aud their appointees to be whatjthey should be, we predict, from an impartial stand-poit, that the verdict of the people will be, svhen their official terms have expired, ‘‘ well done, good and faithful servants.” . M <2 RATHER CRUEL. — The Richmond Enquirer of the 2d ult. gloats over the murder of Union men in Northwestern Virginia. It says of the *‘ Union residents :” The moet of them have packed up, ready to leave for Yankeedom at ray shortest posrible notice. "In Brax unty every tory bas been shot by his neighbor, and in several other counties the citizens devoted to the Confederate cause are doing good service in the same manner. CurTine AFFRAY.—The Auburn, Advoegte, learns that ina fight at Jowa if, one day last week, a man namedgBarrett was 80 stabbed that pe jracouy to re. ‘The other, nd eecaped. j out of ARRIVAL OF THE PONY EXPRESS. From the Democrat ‘ Extra’’ of Sundav. Bary Vatcex, Oct. 5th 1861. ‘ST, Josern, Sept. 27th :—Great activity is re as going on in Southwestern Mo., in meptaky matsers preparatory to an attack un the rebels at Lexington. A decisive bluw wil] be struck within a week. McCulloch and Price are said to be in a trap. It is thought the rebels will not be able to thold Lexington long. « A rebel scout from Lexington, captured near Jefferson City, was to be shot. Sept. 25th—McCulloch is reported marching rapidly to effect a junct?on with Price.— He is near Lexington with a force reported 25,000 strong, aud wellsupplied with artillery. ‘The loss on Mulligan’s side is 150, and on the rebel side 300. W.H. Tilden, of the Farmer's Bank, O., has been appointed Ass’t Paymaster in the Navy. ? : Official reports give full accounts vf the Ocracook Inlet expedition by the’ steamers . Fanny and Launch, under command of Lieut. Maxwell Fort Ocracook, situated on the face of a barren island was entirely destroyed. The guns were spiked: After déstroying all the guns, Lieut: Maxwell piled all the luinber ebyut the bomb proof and burned it. A light ship was also burned. The destruction of the guns was a necéssity—-there being, no ineans of removing or defending thetn. Lhe Post Master General has issued an order that no news papers or printed matter shall be almitted in letter packages destined for the Pacific coast; that such letter and newspaper bags be forwarded to Californis as usual by overland. All other printed matter of every kind destined for the Pacific coast to be sent to the New York office, there to be delivered to the Ageuts of the Overland Mail Co. Postmasters are requested to comply carefully with these orders. The subjectof the Federal disaster at Lexington was made a mutter of discussion in the Cabinet Sept. 24th. The livliest discussion of the state of affairs in Missouri prevailed in all quarters at Washington. Intercepted letters written by secessionists, members of the Maryland Legislature shows that traitor members of that body formed an elaborate scheme for passing a secession ordiance and an attempt to inaugurate armed rebellion in that state against the Government. Summary measures for repressing it alone saved the State the horrors of civil war. It is estimated that Gen. Patterson’> campaign in Virginia cost the Government ten million dollars. The result was only the capture of twenty fugitive slaves, all of whom were returned to their masters . LEVENWORTH Sept. 26.—Gen Lyne’s commend surprised a superior force of rebels at Pappin’s Mill, Mo., routed them, taking all their tents, &c., and 100 prisoners. A force from Fort Scott defeated a body of rebels, killing their commander, Mathews, On Whose person was found an order from Ben McCulloch for the enrollment of Indians. General Lane has issued a proclamation to the citizens of Western. Missouri, ordering all rebele to disperse or they would be summarily dealt with. WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.—It is expected a movement upon Washington will soon be made, ut several points simultaneously. New York. September 23.—The North Star arrived bringing $950,000 in treasure. The President contradicts the rumor that Gen. Fremont is to be removed. Str. Joun’s N. B., Sept. 22.—Steamer Persia ‘arrived and reports meeting the Great Eastern putting back to Liverpool disabled. Properatings are making for embarkation of troops for Canada. Russell in another letter to the London Times says that Gen. MeClellan is fast improving and is now thorugbly master of his situation os It is reported that Garibaldi has accepted a ccmmand in the United States army. Spain is to join in the AngloFrance expedition against Mexico. FRANKFORT, Ky., Sept. 23d.—The Legisbrio has passed a bill authorizing the military departinent to borrow one millon dollars in addition to the milhon authorized May 24th, tobe appropriated to defense of the Stuite. Sr. Joseen, Sept. 28th.—Latest advices frvim South Western Missouri, states that Price, Raines, Parsons and Harris. are marehing on Georgetown, near Lexington, with 26,000 effective men, the forces are swelled every mile along the road. McCulloch is not far behind. It ig reported that Col. Montgomery on Friday last attacked Oceola, Mo., and burned the town. He repulsed-adarge toree of rebels. McCullochis-contidently reported as marching through St. Clair county to a junction with rebels under Price. Later> reports state that McCulloch and Price had formed a junction and weie witbiv 12 miles of Georgetown. “omeThe iovernor of Iowa telegraphed the War Department for instructions, whether he should resort to drafting in his State, Cameron replied “No, you must rely upon the patriotisin of the people.” Nearly 34 millions are already subscribed for the 7 3-10 per cent. loan. No work was done in the several department offices on the 26th in Washington and no pages were @ranted. Rebel Génerals are endeavoring to stop their-pickets from firing on ours. In spite of McClellan's order there are two men now under urrest for disobedience. The Federals made an advance towards gry and drove the enemy 5,000 strong echanicaburgh Gap on the morning of the 24th. Advancing 6n Romney, they stormed the town, causing the enemy 1,400 strong, infantry and cavalry, to retreat to the mountains with 4 loss of 36 killed and a large number wounded. Ourloss 3 killed and 10 wounded. a See % . ease of Gen. Fre Advices from Washington say no immediate action will be taken by Government in the : t, he will be allowed full oppertunity to carry out his of attacking the rebel forces under Price and McCulloch before any interference with his command js made. Lewe made a balloon ascénsion @m our lines on the morning of Sept. 25th and was fired upon by the enemy—no shots were effective. 7 ‘The number of sick and wounded soldiers in the six hospitals in the District of Colunbia, is 767. Ex-President Filmore, through the Buffalo Courier, contradicts the statement made by the St. Louis correspondent to the N. Y. Tribune saying he approved of Fremont’s emancipation proclamation. He does not approve of it, and cordially endorses the President’s position. Interior Enterprise. The following excellent article, evidently, written by some oué who knows the amometains, is copied from the editorial column of the S. F. Evening Journal : We learn from the Auburn Herald that the cars are running to within four miles of Lincoln, and that the people of that thriving town can already hear the whistle of the locomotive. Lincoln is only,26 miles from Nevada, to wlfich place the railraad is rapidly tending Yhese are startling faetswhen we reflect thaf this wonderful progression is the result of private enterprise. “It may be surprising to, one who, ten years ago, traveled the crooked and steep roads to Nevada, to be told that within a year or so, the people of that rich and important county will be erying “Look out tor the locomotive 1’ But it is even so; the spirit. of enterprise is everywhere abroad=in the mountains; the progressiveness is astonishing; fuotpaths give place to substantial wagon-roads costing thousands of dollars per mile, and these, in turn, are giving way to railroads—all the result of private efhterprise, the strongest subduer, the most potent civilizer. "nthe meantune. while this great highway is progressing. the Marysville and Oroville railroad is advancingy slewly, but surely. While the Coast road from San Francisco to Sau Jose is regarded as a work of great difficulty and importance. other and greater enterprises are being pushed forward with equal energy. It would be worth while for a citizen who hus not been up country for several years to make a tour through the mountain towns, if for no mor than to observe the permanence, beauty and wealth elaborated within less thin ten years. Costly churches, elegant dwellings, fruitful orchards,;—blooming gardens, everywhere make known the enterprise of indomitable, prosperous Labor. LanpDLorp.—Mr. Editor, T'll thank you to say I keep the best table in the city. Editor—I’ll thank you to supply my fami‘ly with board gratis. . * Landlord—I thought you were glad to get something to fill up your paper. Editor—I thought you were glad to feed men for nothing. It’s a poor rule that won’t work both ways. acl >: Way don’t you leave off drinking rum, iny friend, and become’a sober man ?—Depend upon it, you will feel far happier and better. Old Sonker—I did try that one day and I never felt so badly in my life. I then resolved never to repeat the foolish experiment. I really cannet imagine how you poor fellows must feel that are sober all the time ! <-> {3 “ Figures won't lie,” is an eld and used to be a well credited sayiny. introduction of hoops, crinoline, bustles and cottun breastworks hasplayed the dickens with the preverb. eee ee te Natban Thompson, the American boat-builder who constructs a complete gui_ boat of L hundred tons by steam in five hours from the time the keel is laid has introduced the Bonner system of advertising into England. ‘The London Star lately accommodated his advertisements with a whole side of its issue. : ee ee ie“ Weill Patrick L am glad you have recuvered—but were you not afraid to meet your God!” ‘‘Och, no, your riv’rence—it was meeting ov that other chap that I was afraid av!” Ape ee THUNDER !—Breathes there a man with soul soe dead, who never to himself hath said, when he hath heedless hit his head: ‘thunder!’ When one’s suspenders give away, whilst dancing briskly with ladies gay, where is the man that can belp but suy ; ‘thunder !’ IT is not so unpleasant to a poor young woman to wait upon the gentlemen, as it is
