A NATIONAL PICTORIAL PAPER
Frank Lislie's illustrated Newspaper

toral, as we'll as artistical point Of view
to the illustrated London News or the
Paris authorization" 1t is published
weekly, and Of such form as to bind
and make handsome volume for the
centre table. The cuts are beautifully
executed, and Of the most spirited char
acter. furnishing likenesses ofpromin-
ent American Authors, Posts States
men and Philosophers, giving such
views Of American scenery, places,
and things, as bring them in miniture
life like, to the readers eye. 1t at
fords us infinite pleasure to commend
it to this community, as great tri'
umph In American art, tar surpass-
ing any Of its predecessors. MI. Leslie
has none of the assurance Of "Bal-
lou" or the humbuggery Of Barnum
about him, he is an artist standing in
an enviably point Of view among Am
erican Painters and Sculptors. Our
friend the Post Master, j. Mccormick
will attend to getting this beautiful
work for any one of our citizens. We
do not mean this as a mere puff. Were
we in Mr.. Leslie's place, we would see
the Comet--out of its sphere be-
fore we would give such paper, for
such paper in exchange.

robbed on his way from Nevada, of a

The TIDE HAS TURNEp.-Hsar
what Brownlow, of the Knoxville Wig.
says about Fillmore's prospects:
The Federal Buchanan party are
desperate, ill-tempered, and prone to de-
nunciation, since the decline of their
candidate in favor and strength, with
the people, South as well as North. We
have been serenteen gears political ed
itor, but never in all thattime witnessed
anything like such revolution in pub
lie sentiment. Intelligence comes pour
ing in upon us from every State in the
Union, but South Carolina, of the in
creasing strength and popularity of the
Fillmore and Donelson ticket. Fill
more, especially, is acquiring new
strength, increased popularity, and is
exciting new enthusiasm every day. 1t
is reduced to certainty now, that FIRE.
mont is a stronger man than Buchanan,
and this being understood, it is max
ing Fillmore stronger than both.

THE AMERICAN TIcKET-To-day the
entire ticket, National, State and County
to be supported by the American party
in the election to come, heads our col
umns. 1t is good old ticket through
out. 1t is composed Of sterling men,
fit for office and fit TO devoted for. The
State ticket had its origin in one of the
purest conventions that ever assembled
There was no bargain and trade in it,
The delegates came together actuated
by sincere desire to select good mer
and true for candidates. 1t was the
largest Convention ever assembled or
the coast, numbering full $50 votes. II
was harmoniousin every respect. There
was no Broderickism or Guinism in it
The members owed no fealty to party
leaders, and men were forgotten for the
good of the entire country. The whole
proceedings of the party in Convention
assembled, were characterized with that
spirit which animates patriots, rather
than new-style politicians. 1t is an au-
gury of better days, and the enthusiasm
and cheering news which each commu-
nicated to the other indicated that the
good time coming is near at hand. The
ides of November will fulfill our hope.
and declare that better days have com.

leans Hotel presented such a sight this
morning as could have been frequently
seen during the last session of the Leg
islature. Crowds of politicians and
seekers after office swarmed the reading
and bar rooms and the street in front
of the hotel, making it difficult for pc
destrians to pass. About all of the del
egates have arrived, amounting to near.
ly 400. From the appearance of things,

% It is gratifying to lover of
Nevada, to witness the number of fine
brick buildings in progress of erection
The building of Kidd & Knox, on Broad
street will be structure of the best
quality, the second story being for the
use of the Masonic and Odd Fellow
Lodges, and for lawyers offices. On
the opposite corner fine brick hotel is
being erected. Jesse S. Wall has lust
erected as good fire proof building on
Broad street as there is in the State
tbs large and commodious, and substan-
tial in every respect. Such buildings
would stay every fame that could be
brought to bear on them We notice a
number of handsome brick residences
are rising in town, that give an air of
decided civilization and Improvement.
We learn that it is the intention of the
Methodist society to erect brick church
on the site ofthe former church. While
speaking of improvements commenced
and completed, We mention the splendid
theatre about to be erected by L. P.
Frisbie. Itis to be completed the last
of October, and will rival anything of
the kind in the State. The arrange
ments are to be on the plan of the Sac
ramento theatre. The building will be
erected near the site of the former the
atre on Washington street. 1t is a
great enterprise, but is bound to succeed
in Frisbie's hands.

~ A gentleman at ROUGH & Ready

e5 SeH,iehlah at hougn az Ready
sends us letter correcting the state
ments made by the press in reference to
the case of B. Nathan and Kosminski,
saying that ''to a very trivial offence, a
high coloring, to say tue least" has been
given. We give, in justice to all par
ties, the side of the story as stated BY
our correspondent. "The simple facts
of this SO called "stabbing affair" are
these, Kosminski claimed that Nathan
owed him a small sum of money, which
Nathan denied, some words passed be-
tween them, when Kosminski seized Ma
than by the shoulder and demanded his
pay in very boisterous and offensive
manner. 1t being in Nathan's store he
quite naturally resented such treatment
by giving Kosminski a blow with his
hand. Kosminski then seized a pair of
boots and attacked Nathan, who retreat
ed to back room. Persons now inter
fered and hostilities ceased. 1t was
then discovered that KosminsH had re-
ceived scratch across the palm of his
hand, but how, he does not know. No
knife was seen in the hands of either
party, and the probabilities are that the
scratch was accidental; caused by ANAL
or some hoop iron on the box from which
kosminski took the boots. Such, Mr..
Editor, are the details of this savage
assault" think your informant must
have been disturbed in mind by visions
of Macbeth's phantom Dagger" as
no one except him saw any knife-not
