eight cared boat was procured, and two toH
able-bodied negroes to row it. They took wit
them q cast net. and proceeded 4 short distanc
from the shore, where they soon found them
selves in a school of mulets. The net was
thrown, but it enclosed such prodisious mpl
titude Of fish, that to draw it in was foand to
utterly impracticab,c. In the meantime, the
fish began to jump into the boat, when it he
came SO fall as 10 be in danger of sinkinge e}
The net was cut loose. and they began to pui
fer the shore, int soon found themselves unable
TO propel the boat through the fish until after
considerable excrtion and delay, they finally
reached the shore just IN time to prevent her

consisted of eight cart loads Of fish, from th.
heads Of which they had fish stew for two

Russia, or having Russian owner, which
shall be purchased by any subjet or subjects
of any one Of the allied or neutral powers

TIE election passed of very pleasantly. No
rows occurred, and no attempt was made By
any one to obstruct the voting. Some feeling
was manifested by voters in behalf Of personal
friends; though the Old party lines were liter
ally broken down. and but few were seen to
advocate any straight ticket. Some section
al feeling was manifested, though even this was
limited. Over ll0O votes were polled in Ne
vada, although it is supposed a large number
OF voters remained away.

u trQ.taA u- iitt3">tt'tr, ana we t}IGEdtt.S
ouf readers viii not expect US TO give a
list OF the elected in this county. In fact
every thing is in most G glorious state Of
uncertainty. The Know Nothings, it is
said, have knocked the old parties into a
cooked hat, and left no room for specula-
ton. And what renders this uncertainty
more complicated,is is the fact that where the
Know Nothings have no organizations, and
their supposed candidates are recognized,
they are cut, almost to man, setting the
old party lines almost as much at defiance
as the Know Nothings themselves.
1t the hoar Of going to press, however,
the following seems to be not impossi be:
Senator.-E. T. Burton, certain.
Assemblymen.-E. II. Gaylord, E, G.
Waite, Jonathan Phelps, E. w. Roberts,
