TIE CONVENTION OF CROTCHETS.

Our goodly citizens with one accord, exclaimed,
at is an i'll wind that blows no good" when the
announcement was made, that the revulsion of
the times had capszed the plans Of the getters up
Of Disunion Convention" to be held in this
city. But no sooner were the words ou, of the
mouth, than it was found to be mere jump from
the frying pan into the fire." inasmuch as that
postu0nement had resolved itself into Call for q
meeting of the Ansi.Slavery Soc;ety-an organi-
zarion holding disunion doctrines In truth. .hi,
small band of dyspeptic men and bilious women,
associated in this AntiSlavery Society, tried new
scheme for mischief by giving the movement the
name of a National DsuniOn Convention, but fail.
ing to make that scheme work. they relapsed into
their old monotohous tread-mill Of treason. and,
for two days, have been talking to empty benches
against this infamous Uuion."
The central position of Cleveland, has made it a
convention focus, and we beg, for the credit the
city, that it will be well understood our geographi-
cal position alone determined the place where
these restless, diseased spirits should congregate.
We have not recognized a citizen OF Cleveland as
having any part or lot among this motley crew,
who would, had they the power, drive the ship Of
State upon the rocks; they are all imported
traitors.
The Convention is made up of Abby Kelly and
Abby Kelly's husband, Parker Pillsbury, the
hairy G. Q. Burliegh, and the negro Remond
There are lesser stars twnkling around these
larger luminaries but their names are not known
and We can only "wonder who you are.'' The so
ciety here congregated, numbers a score or more
from white through all the shades of color to sooty
black and we must confess the negroes are the
ones who should be ashamed of the company they
are, in.
Yesterday afternoon was spent mostly in en-
deavoring to frame resolution which should en-
body the indignation which the society feels TO
wards the Herald. We did say to one Of the les
ser traitors, who wished notice inserted without
paying for it, that in any other country, this
the necks of every one Of their number would be
stretched and We also said that il treason was
justly punished by DEATH it would be serving them
right, although we doubted whether their necks
were worth the hemp. That's all we said, and

to the only bond which holds in harmony the peo-
pie of these thirty-one States2"
We can answer that question most satisfactorily. y.
The Southern wing of the Democratic party has
been actively at work for years acting just like
these Garrsonian disunionists. and threatening to
dissolve the Union. President Pierce's Secretary

whom no one will dcny having been leading

union attempt. Mr.. CALHOUN went so far that Old
Hickory threatened to have him hung. Yet the

crat, and what he did is orthodox in the estina-
tion of the efervescent, patriotic editor Of that
sheet
Not session of Congress passed but that some
acagama,ion spouters dilate for hours on the pos.
siGle dissolution Of the Union. But the cry of
TRAITOR" "damnable treachery," and "fanati,
cism." is never raised against them by the editor
of tho Plain Dealer nor does the Herald ever ex-
press wish to have them hung. But when q cCr-
porals guard of ladies and gentlemen get together
for the purpose Of amusing themselves, and per-
haps the community, with a Quixotic attempt to
dissolve the Union, the editors of the Herald and
Dealer forthwith take dose of Seidlitz powders,
and in their patriotic eervescence almost explode
with indignation.
This is free country. We are in favor of all
expressing their opinions upon the perpetuity OF
the Union. If the Union is so mortally weak that
it cannot stand the attack of Convention of ladies
and gentlemen, why then the editors of the Dealer
and Herald had better call opposition conven
ton to neutraze the effect Of tAis terrible disunion
body.

HOW TO SAVE THE UNION THE CLEvE
LAND PAPERS AND THE DISUNI0N
y..-. CONVENTION.
From the Cleveland Leader (Republican.)
THE DISUNION CONVENTION.

In spite Of the withdrawal of the publication of
the Call for this convention, and its postponement
account of the pecuniary distress of the coun
try it is alleged, respectable sized audience
ssmbled at Chapin's Hall yesterday afternoon and
evening, and discussed the proprety of dissolving
tie Union between the North and the Soah.
Messrs. S, S. Foster, Charles l. Remond, Parker
Pllsbury, VIM. ii. Burlegh, Mrs. Abby Kelly
Foster aud other distinguished disuniohists, took
part in ths proceedings They will continue the
discussion to-day.
Tho Convention has men Of very fine talents
and great ability among its members, who are in
fuenced in their movement by feeling Of uncom-
promising hostility to Savery,and who have devot-
ed the greater part of their lives in showing up
and exposing the iniquities OF the system and
that too, in the most effective manner. 1t IS a
matter of regret that these should be laboring
90 earnestly and we must say futilely, in endeav-
orng 70 bring about that state of things which
for the sake Of the down.trodden slaves, we trust
will never happen, dissolution of the Union, and
thus gratfy great portion of the Southern wing
OF the amalgamation Democracy of the South Car
olins. Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi school.
which has been laboring to bring about this iden
tcal thing for the last twenty five years, under the
lead of Calhoun. McDufie. Butler, Bully Brooks,
Hsngmnn Foot. Stephens, Toombs and other prom
inent Disunion Anna gamaton Democrats. We
say it is n matter of regret that the members
comprising this Convention sho uld be engaged in
such movement, because their talents and ener-
giss are completely misdrected, although they are
earnest and sincere, in following what they con-
cider to be the only plan for destroying American
Slavery and that if the same amount offabor and
earnest zeal had been expended in appealing to
the ballot-box to prevent the spread of Slavery.
they would have done more, yea, hundred fold
more, in crpplng it and eventually lead 10 its fl.
nal extinction. than they have done heretofore
orwill do hereafter by the same course that thcy
have pursued.

this paper. that have given a report of the pro-
reports Of the doings to-day.

ID This Convention was in session yesterday after
noon, end existed last night in spite of the violent
attacks of the Herald and Plain Dealer. The
Herald editors, We are informed, on being applied

very cavilierly to admit them into their columns
snd one of them Voluntarily expressed the very
smiable wish that the six thousand callers of the
Convention were suspended ria Haman. This
wish beats that of hangman Foot by majority Of
$500 for he only wished to hang one--but that
one being United States Senator. it is presumed
psrhsps that the quality may make up the lack
Of numbers. Hereafter the Herald folks will have
ths reputation of being very pat riotic.

MIXED RACES IN SPANISH AMERIcA-THE BEAU
TIES OF AUTOMATICALLY. Tschudi, a distinguish
ed German naturalist has recently published his
travels in Peru,"a work of great interest and
value, in which, among other matters of curious
information, he gives list of the crosses resulting
from the intermixture of the Spanish with the In
dian and negro races of that country.
The settlement of Mexico by the Spaniards took
place as the same time, and the intermixture oi
races has been perhaps greater in that country than
in Peru. The Mexican soldiers are said to present
the most unequal characters that can be met with
anywhere in the world. Some are brave,and many
others quite the reverse, and possessing the bases
and most barbarous qualities. This doubtless, Ii
the result in part of the crossings of the race.
The following is Tschudi's list of the crossing
in Peru;

White father and Indian mother--Mestizo.

IocAIINTELLIGENCE


Assessors REPoRTs.-The law requires the
Assessors Of this State to report once year to
the Controller, the amount Of agricultural pro-
ducts of their respective counties, the quantity
of land under cultivation, &c. From most OF
the counties, the Assessors have already sent IN
their reports. from which much valuable inior-
nation of the Industrial resources OF the state
has been obtained. 1t is much to be regretseo
that no report can be made by the Assessor Oh
Nevada this year. The term Of Office OF the
late Assessor expired on the first of June. Pre-
vious to that time he had assessed all the pro
perty of the county, for which he has received
his pay. and has since gone to the Atlantic
States. In order to get the property OF the
county assessed before his term of Office expired
the late Assessor was compelled to be very expe
ditious, and was hurried so much that he haC
no time to collect agricultural or other stats
tics, as required by law. He evidently omitted
portion of his duty, but as he has already beer
paid for his work the omission cannot be RENE
died. By the statute, is is the duty of the Boart
OF Supervisors to see that tho Assessor make
his report, before allowing his accounts. Th,
late Supervisors were probably not aware tina
such law was on the statute book.

DREADFUL ACCIDENT AT ANGELs-We are in
formed by gentleman from Angels, Calaveras
county, says the Aha, that on Wednesday last
man named David selkirk was probably most
fatally injured while attempting to blast log
The fuse had been fired and after waiting some
little time for it to explode, Selkirk went up to
the log, and while his face was directly over the
charge it exploded, blowing out both his eyes,
tearing off one side of his face, and literally
scalping him. When our informant left on
Thursday morning, he was still alive, though
scarcely hope was entertained that he would
survive The unfortunate man has wife and
three children. H..

nm. Country Debt-No. 2.

In our article under this caption, published
on the I'd instant, We took occasion to submit
fer the consideration Of the tax payers Of the
county some statistics, showing the present in
debtedness Of the csunty-the period of time 1t
would require with eur present revenue to re-
deem the warrants on the general fund already
drawn and outstanding-and the debt which
must necessarily accrue during the time we
shall be engaged in collecting revenue to pay
the existing debt. In our estimates OF the pro-
bable annnsl revenue for the next four years,
we placed the aggregate assessment roll at
$4,000, 900, which is about 20 per cent more
than the assessment roll Of the present year
we allowed nothing for the delinquent list,
which must always be considerable-we added
100 per cent, or in other words doubled the rev.
snuo from the poll tax, compared with either OF
the past two years--we estimated the revenue
from the Foreign Miners Licenses at the high
est figure, justified by our collections during the
past two years--added considerable sum to the
receipts from merchants licenses on account Of
the more thorough system Of collection en-
ployed by the present Treasurer, and found
that with all our hypothetical additions our
annual revenue wculd amount only to S29, 900.
In this estimate an omission was made Of the
Treasursr's per centage for dsbursing, which
at three per cent, amounts to 1888, leaving
therefore cur annual net revenue about $685.
7l2.
From data furnished by the Auditor, 1t ap-
peared that under the present system, our an
nual expenditures will amount to $37. 400 in
scrip, bearing 10 per cent interest; and from
these reliable figures, drew the result, that
while paying off the existing debt we must ne
cessarly contract new debt. exceeding the
present by at least so, or 10000 dollars.
With this prospect in view it is tho part of
prudence, by q resort to some better system, If
such be practicable, to provide some plan by
which our expenditures may be kept within our
revenues and il possible, in the future, to ex-
tinguish the debt altogether. This is desirable
for many reasons amongst which may be men,
toned that ultimately we may escape from that
onerous taxation, which is the inevitable atten-
dant of large public debt. AS we have here
tofsre promised to furnish some information as
| to the manner In which the debt Of the county
has grown up we give below all the items Of
expenditure since the fire of 1856 on account OF
nxtrn ordinary objects

HowLAND's PATENT Rotary BATrERY.-This
battery for crushing quartz, which many think

only two men to assist him, in day and a half

A CRIMINAL EsCAPED.-On Thursday morning

that city for several years past, and some seven

whom he kOncked down was seriously, though
not fatally injured. The police Of the city have

of Orlinski, but thus far he has escaped detec

The LAND SPECUsAToRs.-An article in the
Chicago Tribune informs us that shoals of peO-
pie from New England and the Middle States
are travelling westward to look after the farm
lands and building lots, in which they invested
so much money last summer and spring at a
time Of great imitation, or upon the security of
which they lent money to Western men. The
Tribune adds that these investments are hone
less now, aud viii be so for years 10 come.

pamphlet of eighty-ivo pages, written by VIM.
Frank Stewart, Captain in Walkers army

to have personal spite towards Walker and

dured, which it was not possible for the COM

PLEASANT AFFAIR.-The Placervillc American
tells story of two miners having jumped a
eiaim which had previously been staked off by
two women. 1t proved to be rich one. A
warm dispute arose the men asserting their
right on the ground that but for their labor the
richness of the claim would not have been de-
veloped; the women adhering to their right Of
prior possession. At last a mode of settlement
was devised, which satisfied all parties. The
men proposed to give up the claim to the ladies,
provided they were accepted with it-as hus-
bands. This was agreed to, and the dispute
settled.
The Nevada Democrat., 1857-12-16

IMPORTANT DEcIsIoN.-Judge Howell, Of Ell
Dorado, recently decided that mining claims
are not subject to seizure and sale under execu-
tion. The case will be appealed to the Supreme
Court on this point alone, and we may thsre-
fore expect that this question will soon be set
tied, as the case will be presented in such a
manner that the Court cannot dodge the issue.
The decisions of the District Courts upon this
question have been conflicting.
