REV GEO w. CARTER.--lt will be doubtless sur
prise to many OF readers to learn that Rev Geo
w. Carter his resigned the Presidency of the Female
College.
The Virginia Conference unanimously requested
the Bishop, upon this announcement to return Mr..
Carter to the College. but it appearing afterwards
that there was great demand for preachers, it was
thought best to accord with his wishes and the Blsh
op announced him Pastor of the 4th Street Metho-
dist Church in Lynchburg
His removal from our midst will produce vacuum
in the circle of his lends which it will be hard to
supply, while Lynchburg will gain an effective and
popular preacher, His friends all wish him success
in his new position Express.

PoLITicAL RUMoRs FROM WASHING
ToN.-The s. F. Evening Nea0s contains
the following political rumors, of interest
to California:
By private letter from Washington we
are in receipt ofa few of the political on
dts respecting the Federal Offices of this
State. 1t says:-"Thompson Campbell,
Esq of your city, is here endea voring to
accomplish the reno val of NJ s. Latham
and his own installation as Collector Of
San francisco. He is working like a
beaver, but without a show of success
As there is contemplated removal of the
Surveyor and naval officer, he may attain
Mr.. Van VOORHEES, position. Senator
Weller is urging the removal Of Col. w.
B. Damcron, the naval officer, on Secre-
tary Guthrie, and insists on Thomas B.
Flournoy being appointed in his place
Flournoy is here keeping bachelors
hall' with Phil Herbert Strong efforts
are also being made by Weller to lop of
the heads of T. j. Henley, the Indian
Agent, and Mr.. Fry, the Post Office
Agent. The latter he may accomplish,
but the 'old war horse will remain until a
cha Dge in the administration occurs"

THE NEXT PREsIDENCY.-The Demo-
cratic National Committee met at Wash
ington on the sth of January, and ap-
pointed the first Monday of June as the
time for holding the National Convention
for the nomination of candidates for the
Presidency and Vice Presidency. "D.'
the Washington correspondent of the New
York Herald, gives the following in re-
gard to the gentlemen composing the COM
mittee:
Judging from the feeling among mem
bers of the Democratic National Commit

Nor QUITE so FAsT.-The San Francisco
Chronielc says this is the fastest country in the
world--fast in living, fast in drinking, fast in
lighting, fast in riding, fast in driving, fast in
dying, fast in going to blazes, and fast in every
thing. Now we consider this personal fling
at one of the proprietors of this paper, and
the editor of the Chroniele may either take
" back water" or fight. If he concludes tc
stand at $40 40, then his doom be on his OWL
head. We consider the Chronicle personal
from the fact that one of the publishers of the
Nevada Directory knows he has not been
fast" in getting it out. He also knows that
the conveyance Of the Directory from San
Francisco-where it was printed and bound
has not been FAST" as it left the Bay or
Thursday week, and Sacramento on Saturday
morning last, and has not reached Nevada al
the present writing Thursday. 6 o'clock, P
N.Y. Will the Chronicle man back down, OF
will he fight? We are prepared to maintain
the position that nothing connected with the
Nevada Directory has been fast, unless the
vehicle which was to bring it from Sacramento
is fast" in the mud

THEArR1cAL.-On Wednesday evening
last, the Marble Heart was produced for
the first time in Nevada, to a large and
very select audience. This play, though
by no means exhibiting the highest order
of dramatic talent in its composition, is
eminently adapted for success. The tab
leaux, the principal features Of the piece,
are striking and brilliant.
From the favor with which the play
and the company have been received
below, we were prepared for something
more than usually excellent, and we were
not disappointed. Mrs. Sinclair sustains
the character ofthe heroine, Marble Heart
exeellently well. The conflict of the pas
sions of love and avarice, can hardly be
better expressed by voice and look.
Mr.. Booth as the morbidly sensitive
Artist, and Mr.. Sedley as the Partisan
Editor, gay, shrewd, kind, true hearted
seem to us in our "mind's eye" the model.
of the characters they represent.
We hope the four nights engagements
of this company at Nevada will be pro
longed.

ATTEMPTS TO TAKE L1FE.-Last Sunda,

ATTEMPTS TO TAKE LIFE.--Last Sunday
night shooting affair occurred at Oroville
in the theater, which was crowded at the
time. Only three persons were shot
however, and none killed, although the
person who first drew his revolver was
supposed to be mortally wounded. In
San Francisco, on Tuesday last, four per
sons were arrested-two for threats to
take life, one for assault with deadly
weapon, and one assault with intent to
kill. In this county, two men came neal
losing their lives by shooting only last
week. But attempts to take life are no,
always successful, we are happy to say, fol
it appears by the homicide calendar thai
only about six hundred Californians lost
their lives in combats during the yeal
1855, and it wasn't very good year fol
fighting either. We are glad that Nevads
is peaceable, and not at all pugnacious.

AN UGLY MoNARcH.-Victor Emman-
uel, the sovereign of Sardinia, has lately
made royal visit to the Court of Great
Britain, and according to the London cor
respondent Of the AAa California his
personal appearance is not very prepos-
sessing. He says:
"You have, by all accounts, a very het-
erogenous population in California, and
shall, therefore, not venture on general
challenge; but, stipulating for the exclu-
sion of the aborigines, the half-breeds, and
the immigrants from China, Japan, the
Sandwich Islands, and other similar prim-
tive regions, and restricting the competi-
ton to men of European birth and to
Americans Of European descent, uninter.
rupted by any infusion of the blood ofany
of the excepted races-I'll bet two to one
or the King of Sardinia against the unli-
est man in all California. His Majes.

salient and conspicuous by the preposper.

RB The Sacramento correspondent of
the Shasta Courier is responsible for the
following:
An amusing anecdote is related of the
Rev. Mr.. Crouch, Chaplain of the Assem-
bly,. Before his election he was informed
that report was in circulation to the eff
feet that he was fighting preacher. "
"Sir," he replied, with considerable
warmth, tell your informant that the re-
port is malicious and dastardly false
hood, and | can whip the scoundrel clean
out of his boots" Since which time no
one has dared to intimate that he is q
fighting " preacher"

MrN1NG.-From the ridge we learn that
little is being done in the way of mining.
owing to the lack of water. There is only
just sufficient of this necessary element to
tantalize, and not enough to be of use.-
The benefit of the rain which has fallen, is
neutralized by the severe cold of these
nights, freezing and drying it up. Al
Orleans Flat, however, we learn that the
waters of the Yuba have at length been
brought in, furnishing abundance to the
miners of that region.

GRAND JURY.-The grand jury were
empanelled on Wednesday last. The fol
lowing indictments were reported Or
Thursday. Mace Mouton, for assault with
intent to commit murder Thomas Roger.
for rape; John Green, for grand larceny
Henry A. Shirlin, for fraudulently and
maliciously destroying promissory note
The grand jury is still in session. We
learn there is an unusual amount Of bust
ness before it this term.

THE DRAINING OF THE HARLEM SEA-
We learn from the N. Y. Tribune that
"the c hartman of the Commission on the
Draining of the Harlem Sea has published
final report on this work, which is to be
finished this year. The expenses from
1889 to 1855, inclusive, are $3,4oO,0oo,
and the receipts from land to be sold is
estimated at So, 100000. 1t was at first
supposed the reclaimed land would be
worth only some $32 per e,but in 1885
it actually sold for over $l2O. This was
return exceeds all expectation, as the
draining was not undertaken as a specu-
lation, but as precaution against further
inroads of the sea. Fruitful farms alrea-
dy begin to appear here and there on the
former floor of the sea.- Eorty-iye thou
sand acres in all have been reclaimed from
the sea, which will supply 100000 peo-
pie bountifully with the means of life.''

IMMIGRATIoN.-We notice that quite
a large number of passengers by the two
last steamers from the Atlantic have pass
ed through this town on their way to the
mines. Many of them have visited Cali
fornia for the first time. As soon as our
freezing weather is over they can proba-

must be content to wait. "There is a

INDIAN WAR AT PUGET SoUNp.--The town
of Seattle, Puget Sound, was attacked by
Indians on the 26th January last. The town
was bravely and successfully defended by the
crew of the U. S. slcsp of war, Decatur, which
was lying at that port. The Indian force is
variously stated a. from seven to nine hundred
strong. They fought bravely, and their loss is
stated at 35 killed and &c wounded. Only two
were killed on the side of the whites.

MININc.-A friend from Humbug in
forms us that new diggings are being
continually struck in that vicinity. Those
already opened have universally proved
fich. Fred De Bore & Co. are taking
out from six to twenty mine ounces day.
A few days ago they took out one piece
weighing 112 dollars, and number weigh
ing from 40 to so dollars. The great need
now of the miners in that region is water
They hope to be supplied soon by bitches
already in progress. Humbug bids fail
to become one Of the richest mining sec.
tions in the country.
