sulcIDE.-Capt James Reynolds committed
suicide on Friday last, in San Francisco, by
cutting the juglar vein with pen-knife. He
was 80 years old, and was a native of Philadel-
phia, where he has an interesting family.
During the war with Mexico he was Capt of
company in the New Jersey battalion, and be-
haved himself with much gallantry. Capt. Rey-
nolds some time since, occupied position in
the U. S. Mint of San Francisco as adjuster of
the metal in the rough, and was very able
workman. About month since, he left the
Mint in consequence of reduction of the en-
ployees, and has since been waiting in expecta-
ton of being reinstated in his former place. or
in some other capacity. He has been in low
spirits for some time past, and his friends were
fearful of some serious fnale

AT public meeting of the Democratic elec-
tors, held in North San Juan, Nevada County,
Saturday evening Ang. 9th 1856, Parker II,
Pierce Jr, was called to the chair, and Newton
c. Miller was elected See'y. The object of the
meeting having been stated by the Chairman
to be the formation of Buchanan Club, rolls
were prepared and numerously signed Ad-

The Nevada Democrat., 1856-08-20
By Order of Township Committee

After q supenslon of four weeks the Democrat
again makes its appearance in new dress, en-
larged, and we trust somewhat improved in its
appearance. In common with nearly oil the
business men of the place, we lost our entire
"stock in trade by the late fire, and were left
without available means to purchase another
Office. We have, however, by untiring exertions
and the assistance Of friends, been enabled to
procure material for another newspaper and job
office, and have once more fairly got under way
we hope not again to be interrupted by like
calamity.
The loss of our property, and interruption of
business, constituted but small portion of our
misfortune. Mr.. William b. Pearson, one of
our partners, together with A. J. Hagan, S. W.
Fletcher, and Jay Johnson all young men of
unblemished character and integrity, perished
In the late confiagration. For two years they
had had their Offices and places of business un-
der the same roof with ourselves, and in the
vain attempt to save the building from the de-
vourlng element, they lost their lives They
had no intention of remaining in the building,
but before they were aware of their danger, the
wooden buildings around them had taken fire,
and the brick walls in which they were enclosed
proved but feeble barrier to the intense heat
from without. What their feelings must have
been when they found the roof above them on
fire and the certainty of horrible death star
ing them in the face, can better be imagined
than described. The scenes that were then
enacted can only be conjectured, and over them
We willingly draw the veil. Mr.. Anderson, our
editor, had his face and hands so severely burn
ed that for some days his recovery was consd-
cred doubtful We are happy to state, however,
that he is now rapidly convalesclng and in a
week or two win again be at his post.
To our friends throughout the county who
generously came forward and assisted us to re-
start the Democrat we return our heartfelt
thanks, and can assure them that nothing on
our part shall be,left undone to merit contin-
ssszhtfnIffeonfdence

pvpAsDrSo OF THE VIGILANCE COMMITTEE

DrsBANDrSG OF THE VIGILANCE COMMITTEE
This body was to have had grand parade on
Monday last, and some of their organs have
announced that they will disband to-day. The
Alta, however, denies the report that they are
to disband, and says they are only going togive
up some of their rooms, and dismiss the most OF
their guards; that rooms only will be retained
for the executive committee to hold their ses-
sions, and that the general committee will be
called together whenever occasion may require.
The probability is, that those who have been
furnishing funds to keep up this organization
are finding it rather expensive, and by giving
up the most of their rooms and dsmissing their
guards they are in hopes of getting clear OF
the heavy outlays to which they have heretofore
been subjected. 1t is the wish of great por-
tion of the Vigilance Committee to keep up the
organization until after the November election,
in order to affect the result and as much as pos
sible get their sympathzers elected to Office
Others, however, are now, and for long time
have been, in favor of disbanding Which par
ty among them will carry the day remains to
be seen. One thing is certain, that no reliance
can be placed in the report that they intend to
disband to-day.
The vigilance organs are publishing pretend
ed letters from Washington, to the effect that
the President has no authority for putting
down the insurrection, unless he is requested so
to do by the Legislature of the State There
appears to be no authority for these statements.
The requsition of the Governor had been re-
ceived by the President only day or two be-
fore the sailing Of the steamer and the agents
sent to Washington by him had not even arrived
there The statement which has also been put
forth, that Secretary Marcy had written to the
Governor, to the effect that the general govern
ment cannot interfere to quell this insurrecton
appears to be equally without foundation
There is every reason to believe, if the vigilance
committee does not voluntarily disband before
the arrival of the next steamer, that the govern
ment officers here will have orders to put them
down.
The Nevada Democrat., 1856-08-20

THE STREETs.-On the Monday succeeding the
fire, the Trustees of the city held u meeting for
the purpose of taking such steps as were deemed
practicable, for widening and altering the
streets, establishing grades, &c. S. C. Herbert
was appointed city surveyor, and authorized to
fix grades for the Streets subject to the approval
Of the Board. 1t is advisable for those who are
putting up permanent buildings, to ascertain
the grade, in order to save expense in the future
Mr.. Herbert has handed us the following,
which will give some idea of the improvements
which have been made
|. New grades have been established for
Broad ST., Main ST., Craising the old grade four
feet at Deer Creek,) Pine st. and Commercial St
2. Cottage street has been extended from
Pine ST., across Broad st. "a little below A. A.
Sargent's residence,) to Spring ST.
g. Hill ST. has been Strengthened and made Of
a uniform width from Nevada st. to the old
Washington Road
4. Washington st. has been extended from the
Court House across Pine and Commercial to
Broad st. adjoining the New York Hotel.
5. The foot of Boulder st. has been wdened
in front of Ferre's Banking House and straight
ened.
6. Surveys have also been made for new
street running from Broad st. to Commercial st.

The CENTRAL AMERICAN QUEsTIoN.-It is re-
ported that dispatches have been received at
Washington, indicating the virtual settlement
of the Central American question by an agree
ment between Lord Clarendon and Mr. Herrau,
Minister from Honduras, to the terms of a trea-
y by which Honduras resumes possession of
Ruatan and the Bay Islands, and agrees to con-
tinue to subjects of Her Majesty all the rights
they have acquired during the time England
has held the Islands. Mr.. Dallas, it is said, has
agreed, on the part of the United States, to ac-
cept this as settlement of the affair.
