Whig Convention.

At an adjourned meeting of the Wings
of Nevada county, held the 5th inst,
Judge Stanton Buckner was called to
the Chair and J. !. Sykes appointed
Secret tary.
The object Of the meeting having been
stated-the filing Of the County Cen
tral Committee, and the appointments
of delegates to the Wing State Conyen-
ton to be held at Vallejo on the 22d of
February next-the following persons
were selected as said Committee John
Anderson, |. T. Hirst, and ]. |. Sykes.
In addition to these gentlemen, by
virtue Of their Office members of the an.
preaching State Convention, the follow
ing delegates were selected from the
State at large; c. + Smith of Grass
Valley, d. l.. Harris, of Rough and
Ready, Semple M. Journey, of Cayo-
tevill lc.
A. A. Sargent then offered the fol,
lowing resolutions, which were adopted
as the sense of the meeting:
RESOLVED, That to obtain an impartial
and thorough representation Of the Whie
party OF the State in any State Conyen-
ton, t,is necessary and proper to re-
quest Wings in their primary capacity
to elect delegates having 1hayseparate
duty Of such ,Fss % .ssatioona IN charge
ResotUed, That the course Of the Whic
State Central Committee, in assigning
to expired organizations duties not de.
signed at their creation, and which car
only rightly be conferred by the tartv
in each county for itself is cont ary to
correct usage, in contravention Of Whig
principles, and if generally followed
would work serious injury to the Wing
cause,
Resoired, That rs Wings we hold fast
TO the pillars Of sound national policy
which have ever distinguished our party
and go into the great approaching con-
test, confident in our principles, and
determined that they shall have due
weight and representation in the ma
tional councils.
Resolred, That the character of Mil.
lard Fillmore is worthy of the admira,
tion of every American. His sound and
comprehensive views; his moderate vet
firm policy in all questions of contro.
versy, and his enlightened patriotism
place him beside, right worthily, him
whose exalted character made him the
Father Of his Country
Resolved That Millard Fillmore ia
our first choice for the National Wbir
nomination for President of these States
at the coming election-that the great
attributes of wisdom and purify he has
displayed may receive the direct stamp
OF the appreciation of the people, and
his nli2htensd administration be lon-
ger secured to the country.
A resolution being passed that the
proceedings be published in the Neya da
Journal, the meeting adjourned.

LOWER GOLD TUNNEL. gentle
men connected with the tunnel at Deer
Greek, Immediately below the celebrat.
ed Gold Tunnel, have exhibited to us
some specimens of their lead which in
dicate as rich deposit in that portion
Of the vein as in that which has obtain.
ed sach wide reputation. The quartz is
greatly decomposed, strongly impreg-
mated with and discolored by iron, and
the specimens exhibited to US were full
of gold. A lead in which such speci-
mems can be found must contain heavy
fortunes. We wish the proprietors as
extended reputation and as rich profits
as their neighbors up the hill have had.
With the evidences we daily meet,
we must hold to our opinion that Ne
vada is the richest mining county in the
State.

Persons, merchants, occasionally say
to us, we do not take the local paper,
because we wish to take papers from
below. Very we'll. Take the papers
from below. 1t isa good idea. But take
tho local paper also. The direct bene-
fits of the local paper to you, friend, are
not confined to what you find in its CO.
lumns. By circulating intelligence in
relation to the region in which it is pub
lished, it makes that region well-known,
and draws people to it; and these peo-
pie are your customers. 1t is your
great gain to have the paper 90 en-
couraged that the proprietors can afford
to make it standard sheet. The ge-
neral character of the California press
will compare with that of any section of
the world, for ability or purity of ten
dency, and it is most excellent idea
to encourage the press Of the whole
State. But we do not design that any
paper, not published in this section,
shall be more interesting to our readers
than we make the Journal.

Gle and other papers of a late date
From the Chronicle we CLEAN the fol-
lowing items of news:
Some very rich surface diggiugs
have been discovered near Angels
Camp, from which the miners are re-
alizing good wages.
The canal from the North branch of
the Calaveras to San Andres is return
ing good profits to its proprietors, and
is a source of great benefit to the mi
ners. There are not many chances
in this neighborhood for "large
strikes" but the prospect is good for
a continuance of fair wages.
The sluicing operation has been
commenced at Murphy's diggings,
with fair prospects Of success. A ca
nal six miles long has been completed
to supply the miners here with water.
The miners at Douglas Flat have
suspended the operation of hauling
dirt as they new have plenty of water
on the fiat They seem content with
their wages.
On Stockton Hill, party of eight
men realized fifty ounces from one

On Tuesday evening, we witnessed
one of the most beautiful phenome,
ma Of Nature. Though the sky was
clear and full moon, for some two
hours we were wrapped in almost to.
tai darkness, and 'the moon was turn.
ed to blooa." According to the law.
of Nature, it is impossible for the
moon in an eclipse to remain for g
much longer time in total obscurity
We first witnessed it about nine O'Clock
and a little before eleven small por.
ton Of it was revealed with its natural
brightness.

GRASS VALLEY grows daily in size
and improvement. We were particu.

for the better in this thriving place,
on recent visit, the first one for Sc.

new houses are being erected constant

seems to have settled down on this

There was probably about fifty oun-

crushed to obtain this result, about
twenty five tons of quartz. The ave-

been about the same amount as for
the day mentioned. Being on the

The Case Of Thrasher.

The treatment of Mr.. Thrasher, in
