Mr.. ELLIS LETrER.-On our first
page will be found letter from E. r.
W. Ellis, in relation to the repeal Of
the city charter Of Nevada. Mr.. Ellis
repells the charge that he 10 the hold
er Of city script, and influenced by in
terested motives, in the payment OF
the city debt. We could not believe
that he, or either Of our members Of
the Legislature, would stoop so low as
TO procure the passage Of any act sim
ply for their own benefit. If they, in
common with the public generally
should be incidentally benefited by
it, it 10 no fault Of theirs. But aside
from this, it was their duty in answer
to the petition signed BY many Of our
citizens and forwarded to them, to pro-
cure the passage of tho act, unless q
remonstrance of equal respectability
was presented.
Another rumor has been put aAoat
that this bill makes provisions for the
payment of the city officers up to the
time Of the passage Of the bill. This,
If true, would be absolute injustice !;
and the payment Of q tax for that pur.
pose would, doubtless be strongly re-
sisted. At the time they were reques-
ted to resign, or shortly after, they
ceased, in q great measure, to perform
the duties of their office. This was
right, because demanded by the COM
munity. But this demand was made
in consequence Of the enormous ex-
pense the organization imposed upon
our citizens, and not because the Off
GERS were obnoxious to the people, and
were they now to receive their sala-
ries, without the performance Of their
duties, we would still have to bare the
burden without the corresponding ben.
eft of the city government.
Will one Of our representatives be
kind enough to send Us copy of the
bill?

GRASS vALLEY.-We paid a visit
. few days since TO this spirited and
enterprising town, and were highly
gratifed to witness the numerous in
dications Of growing prosperity. The
town is being built up with substan.
tial, we'll finished HOUSES. and where
a few months since there was small
mining village, We now see flourish
ing, well regulated business town, that
will soon rank in appearance and i'm
portance, among the first in California
There are now in that place great
many families who have settled there
intending to make it permanent res.
idencc, which gives the place much
the appearance Of an eastern town.
There are now in operation in that
place some fifteen or sixteen quartz
mills of various capacities, all Of
which, we are credibly informed, are
paying handsome dividends.
Among the mills we visited, we
were most favorably impressed with
that Of DR.. Deleven, on Wolf Greek,
about . mile below the town, an inn
proved Chilli mill, combining both
crushing and grinding, and effectually
pulverising the quartz, thereby, we
think, obviating one of the greatest
defects in the old machinery. The
doctor 10 well satisfied with his expe-
riment, and would unhesitatingly re.
commend his machinery in preference
to any he has seen in the country.

ANOTHER DIscovERY.--We have
heard some talk within few days
past, about new discovery of placer
diggings, some l8 miles due east Of
Of Nevada. According to our under
standing Of the geography Of the
country, this would place them on the
ravines leading to Deer Creek, on the
N. E. side. Several parties have lefl
here, during the past week, with the
intention Of thoroughly testing. the
merits Of this new place. We wish
them all success nor are we altoge.

prospect Of the adventure.

other property from one Of the tribe.
The offender having been detected, was
arrested and tried scoordings we sup.

ExEcuTIoN OF ANTONIO GARRA.-The
following graphic account of the execu-
tien Of Antonio Cara, is taken from the
San Diego Herald:
Antonio Cara, the Indian chieftain,
who was convicted Of murder and theft,
before the military court martial, of
which Gen. Bean was President, was
executed pursuant to sentence, on Sa.
turday evening last. About three O clock
on the afternoon Of that day, it was Of
6cially announced to him that he must
die, and Padre Juan remained with him
from that time uatil the moment of his
death. At half past four, the prepara-
tions for bis death being completed, the
execution party, ten in number, com
manded by {. b. Fitzgerald, paraded
before the cell of the condemned, and
the Provost Martial announced 10 Anto-
MO that his hour had come. The pri.
soner took his place at the head of his
executioners, and marched to bis grave,
evidently determined to show his cap.
tors that an Indian brave could die like
a man. No unbecoming levity marked
his conduct, but his whole depor tment
evinced ths brave man prepared to meet
his fate.
Upon arriving at his grave, the priso-
ner placed himself al its head, and only
after the repeated solicitations and com.
mands of his father confessor, was he
induced to ask pardon Of the large crowd
assembled, which he did after his own
manner. Lifting his eyes, with smile
denoting contempt, he said in loud and
clear tone, devoid of all tremor, Gen.
tlemen, ask your pardon for all my of.
fences, and expect yours in return
Then suffering his eyes to be banda q ID,
he kneeled at tho head of his grave,
when the Provost Marshal, turning to
his troops, commanded Ready! Aim
Fire The suns last rays were at this
msmsnt lingering on the hill 8 of Point
Lobos, whilst the bells of the neighbor-
ing church chimed vespers. In an in.
slant, the soul of q truly ''braven wing.
ed its flight to the regions of eternity,
accompanied BY the melancholy howl
ing of dsgA who seemed to be aware Of
the solemnity Of the occasion whilst
acknowledging the justness of Antonio q
fate, failed net to drop tear DER the
grave Of bravo man, and once power

Wno Drought o slave TO the state, TO hol0
him in servitude. The proposition or
clause which he wished to introduce,
was, that any person or persons held
to labor or service in any State or Terri
tory Of the United States, by the lave
Of such State or territory, and who were
brought or introduced within the limits
Of the State previous to the admission
Of this State as one Of the United States
Of America, and who shall not have been
held to seTvitude within the State since
its admission into the Union by the
claimants Of the services Of said per-
sons, shall be held and deemed fugitives
from labor within the meaning Of the
act, and said claimants are entitled to
all the rights and remedies given there.
in"
Dir. Crabb said the object of the bill
was to secure and maintain the rights
Of citizens Of the United States, to such
property as they held in this country,
at the time Of the adoption Of the con-
stitution. The trainers Of the cOnstitu.
tion would not have made special pro.
vision prohibiting slavery in the State,
had they deemed that provision of the
Mexican or Spanish law. had abrogatsd
slavery before the formation OF that in.
strumsnt. MIR. c. maintained that no
slavery or involuntary servitude had ex-
listed in the State since the constitution
was adopted. A slave living with his
master and rendering labor to him with
perfect fres will and consent, was not q
state Of things in conflict with the con.
stitution.
Messrs. Peachy and Ellis explained
their positions more definitely.
MIR. Hammond said he was pro-sla-
very man, reared among the institutions
Of the south, and prepared to meet any
question that might fairly be brought
before the people Of tbs State. He
should never attempt to invade the
rights secured by the constitution of the
State, or desire its change with reference
to the subject under disc cnssion, without
it was the wish Of q majority of the cit,-
zens of California. Mr.. n. desired to
present three additional sections, which

absolute requisition Of the society in
which they obtained. MIR. P. said that
% soon as we acquired . territory, the
constitution was extended over il, and
governed, paramount. to any conflicting
regulations, without any express enact.
ments repsaling or sbrogating them.
The next point was whether the consti.
tuition of the State deprived citizen Of
any right which he had before it's adop-
tion. in the absence of any express de-
claration otherwise, he held that the
operation Of the constitution was pros
pective only. 1t declared that in the
future there should be no such class OF
persons as slaves, in the State. He saw
no reason for interpreting this provi-
sion as declaring the slaves in the State
free. His ground was that the people
in the State could hold no power to de-
prive any person Of rights which he had
to any property at the time Of the adop-
tion Of the constitution.
MIR. Ella of Nsvads, said he coneurred
in the argument Of the member from
San Frencisco, as far rs related to the
operation Of the laws Of . conquered
country. He stated again that the bill
before the House provides for the exis-
tsnce Of slavery in California for an in.
definite period hereafter, while the con.
stitution declared that slavery should
not be tolerated within the limits Of
the State. Would any man deny that
