DISTRICT CouRT.-This Court has been engag-
ed during the past week in the trial of George
Lewis, indicted for the murder of George H.
Jordon, and Samuel Hartgraves indicted for the
murder of 7. Ellison at San Juan. The case of
Lewis was given to the jury on Thursday eve
ming, who Immediately returned verdict of ac-
quittal The result of this trial has caused con
siderable dissatisfaction, in this place. Some of
the most important witnesses were not exam
ined and the belief is very general that the
case was not half prosecuted lIartgraves was
convicted of murder in the second degree. His
sentence was postponed for week. The pun
ishment for this offence is Imprisonment in the
penitentiary for not less than ten years.

TIE X. N. MEETNG.-The great Know Moth
ing demonstration of the season, came off on
Saturday evening, in front of the American EX-
change The speakers, Messrs. Woods and Pcy-
ton, were escorted into town by the Fillmore
ties of the county, on horseback, and in car
riages, headed by band of music. In the eve
ming, a procession was formed numbering one
hundred and forty-one persons, which marched
up and down Broad street, and finally brought
up at the corner of Main and Cayote streets, to
listen to the great expounders of K N. princi-
pies The procession was long one, which is
accounted for, from the fact that they marched
in single file, and kept ten feet apart A large
crowd was attracted to the stand, but long be-
fore Mr.. Peyton was through speaking, the
number was reduced to the original zone hun
dred and forty-one."
The Nevada Democrat., 1856-10-22

The National Intelligencer the time-honored
organ of the late Whig party, has announced its
intention of taking no part in the PRESIDENTIAL
contest. OfMr. Fillmore it says;
eve cannot forget that Mr.. Fillmore was a
Whie when he before conducted the government
with such signal ability; that he was surrounded
Ly Wing advisers and was guided in his admin
ittration by Wing principles. Now, when ne
has become the candidate, as he himself ahhoun-
ces of ''another party" and has disciaineu Tue
name and associations he but so recently main
tained. displacng them by so called American
Order; we cannot so clearly see that. with our
unchanged opinions in favor of Wing principles
and Wing men we are warranted in expecting
at his hands the same course under the maxlms
he now espouses as under those which formerly
regulated his administration and crowned II
with such brilliant success"

FATAL ACoIDENT.-A man by the name of
Johnson was killed on Monday last near Bear
Valley, by the unexpected explosion of blast
on the South Yuba ditch. Several blasts had
been ignted at the same time, all but one of
which went off. Supposng the other one had
gone ont, they went back, and on arriving at
the spot it exploded. Johnson, who was stand
ing near, was struck by large rock, which
broke his thigh in two places and otherwise
nured him. He died in about six hours. An
other man was slightly injured by the explo-

SHOT AT.-George Kellinberger, better known
as dutch George" as he was going from Ne
vada to San Juan, on Friday evening last, was
waylaid aud shot at by some persons stationed
on both sides of the road. A pistol ball passed
through the lapel of his coat He cried out,
do you want to kill Dutch George" One of
the Williams spoke, and asked him if he was hurt.
He made no answer, but fired his pistol in the
direction of one of the men. and putting spurs
to his horse run into San Juan. 1t was quite
dark at the time, and the probability is that the
fellows were lying in wait for some other person:

nuehnnan and the Pacific RaiI Road.

The following letter from our presidential
candidate on the subject of the Pacific Railroad
received by the last steamer, speaks for itseif.
It was not necessary for Mr.. Buchanan to have
written this letter to give assurance of his IA
vorable regard for this great national work,
but in answer to communications addressed to
him. he has here given the most explicit express
sion of his views. He places the power to con
struct this vast work where it had already been
placed, by the present secretary of war, whose
able reports to Congress have been made famil-
lar TO the American mind. BY the side OF the
ambiguity of Mr. Fillmore in his recent letters,
and the school boy diction of Mr.. Fremont on
the same subject this letter from Mr.. Buchanan
sounds ike the language of the true statesman.
WHEATLASD, (near Lancaster. Pa.,)
18th September, 1856.
To B. F. Washington, Esq, Chairman of the
Democratic State Central Committee OF Cali
fornla:
SR-I have received numerous communica-
tions from sources in California entitled to high
regard, in reference to the proposed Pacific
Railroad AS it would be impossible for me to
answer them all, deem it most proper and re-
spectful to address you general answer in
your official capacity. In performing this duty
10 the citizens of California act in perfect
consistency with the self-imposed restriction
contained III my letter accepting the nomIna-
ton for the Presidency, not to answer interrog-
atorics raising new and different issues from
those presented by the Cincinnati Convention;
because that Convention has itself adopted a
resolution in favor of this great work. |, then,
desire to state briefly, that, concurring with the
Convention, am decidedly favorable to the
construction of the Pacific Railroad and, de-
rive the authority to do this from the consttu-
tional power "to declare war; and the constitu-
tonaI duty 'to repel invasions" In my Judge
ment, Congress possesses the same power to
make appropriations for the construction of this
road strictly for the purpose of national de-
fence. that they have to erect Notifications al
the mouth of the harbor of San Francisco. In
deed the necessity, with view to repel for
eign invasion from California, is as great in the
one case as in the other. Neither will there be
danger from the precedent; for it is almost i'm
possible to conceive that any case, attended by
snch extraordinary and Unprecedented crcum-
stances, can ever again occur in our history.
Yours very respectfully,
JAMES BUCHANAN.
