GRASS VALLEY, Sept. 18th, 1852

uRAsS VALLEY, cept. loth, loOZ,
A. a. SARGENT dear SIR = Col.
Phil. L. Edwards, enc of the whic can
didates for Representative in Congress.
has entertained the people of this town
and vicinity, during the evening, with
one of the most clear, able and instruc-
tive political dissertations that has
ever been listened to in the noun tain
country.
The audience was large, orderly and
attentive, and the democrats wsro ap-
parent'y as much entertained by the
liberal and truthful remarks of the
speaker as those of our own party The
relative position of the two parties, and
the great leading national questions Of
the day occupied the attention of Col.
Edwards, and no man has ever disc used
SO clearly, and distinguished 80 honestly
and truthful!y, the differences that exist
between the principles, tenets and doc
trines of the two great parties. The
Colon els mastsrly touches being finish
ed. the whig. with all his boldness and
originality, his countcnance fired and
illuminated with progressive ideas and
gigantic schemes calculated to advance
the interest and glory of our mighty
republic, and the loco foco, paneplied
and spotted as the leopard with con-
structive negations, stood in living out
lines before the Imagination.
The subject of internal improvements Is
in general, was dwelt upen with mark
ed ability; and the feasibility, advunta-
ges and necessity of o great national rail
road, constructed under the auspices Of
the federal government, from the Mis-
sssippi river to the Pacific ocean, were
developed with an intelligence, profun-
dity and political philosophy that has
added no little to his distinction, by iden-
tifying himself with the most rational,
national, expanded and triumphant
schemes, that have ever entered the
minds or animated the hopes of people
since tho world was called intO exis-
tenoe.
This is the age of union-political, So
cial and physical. Let us connect this
great country with railroads, post roads,
canals and telegraphs, till America shall
know no interstice, no sectlonality-but
connected and united in every thing
calculated to enhance the interests Of
the whole country.
Anticipating Col. Edwards as our fu-
ture Congressman, We see in him that
native vigor of intclsct-that deep
schooling in the principles of Republi-
eanism and national policy, those strong
social powers--experience and extern
sive acquirements--unainching integri-
ty-irmness, and oratorical ability
that excite in us feelings of pride in
view. of our Representative, and mark
for him high place among those dis
tinguished in the national ceunsels of
our vast country.
The Colonel has made deep and las
ting impression at this place and will
outrun his ticket. I. o.

San Francisco papers of Saturday
came the affective news of the death
of Mr.. Chetwood recently nominated
to the Supreme Judgeship by the
by the Wing party in this state. He
died on Friday afternoon last, after an
illness Of some weeks, which till a
very short time before his death was
not considered dangerous.
The s. T. Herald says, "The whole
community will mourn his loss, while
sorrow will fill the hearts of the large
circle Of his personal friends, to whom
he was eudeared by his many ennobl-

hoaorablc mark Of the esteem in which
he was held by his fellow citizens, in
being selected as the whig candidate
for the Supreme Court, and now just
in the prime of life, and on the thres,
hold of a career OF great usefulness, he
is cut down and forever removed from

Wilson, for maltrcating some American
children. Nothing more was thought OF
the matter until the next day, when the
body of Capt. McAlpin was found, stab
bed in several places, lying in the Span
ish part Of the town. One Of the wounds
pen etrated the left breast to the heart
When found he had his pistol in hand
cooked and his finger on the trigger -
He must have been killed upon the spot
as his pistol was not discharged Capt.
McAlpin resennbled DIR. Wilson very
much, and thero is no doubt Of kis hav-

revcAge the chastisenent the boy had
received at the hands Of tho latter -
Capt. McAlpin was an old resident OF

nsn. A FEMALE SEMINARY has been
established at Benecia, under the su
perintendence of Miss Susan A. Lord,
assisted by several experienced and ac
complished teachers. The circular says
This institution has been established d
to meet the urgent and growing wants
Of families in this State. There is n
call for ladies' school of the very high
est character, where every branch OF
study or accomplishment taught in the
most celebrated seminaiies in the Unit

and where moral and religious training
may be given without being limited by
sectarianism, or narrow and selfish
bigotry. TO meet this call is the obiec
of the Benicia Female Seminary
Nevertheless, the prices Of the insti-
tuition strike US rs unreasonably high
putting it out of the reach of all except
the very wealthy. and therefore as an
instrumen ntality of usefulness Of little

hopes inspired by the richness of this
lead, we have confidence to believe it
has not been over-cstimated,andd doubt
less will eventually prove itself equal,
may be superior, 10 any other mine of
the kind in the world The gold, AS
is usual in such leads is very fine, but
so fully infused through the roughcr
material AS TO glitter wherever it is
broken. Recently, the company who
have got this lead, have quietly pur-
sued their business without much ado,
but have been steadily encouraged by

a little excited for day or two past
oy a rcncontre between very
well known and respeced Methodist
preacher located in this city, and ano-
ther gentleman, who thought himself
injured by some allusions in the mil.
pit TO habit of his of playing "poker"
during service hours instead of atten-
ding church. The parties Glanced to
meet, when the aggrieved gentleman
demanded Of the preacher if he was
the one alluded to, and on ascertaininr
that he was, used high words, and the
minister finally lost self-control and
threw his antagonist to the ground,
saying that no one should curse him
with impunity. The case came up for
trial on Wednesday, and was conduct
ed by an assemblage OF the talent of
the Nevada bar, but the legal gentle
men were so deep in their disquisitions
that the jury looked several ways for
the right, and couldn't agree.
The circumstance will not probably
be considered serious enough to get
re examination, and will be good
les 'on to all parties. 1t shows how
necessary is self-control under all cir
cumstanceS, and how easily the best

Mr.. Fillmore was the choice Of the
