THE LATE COUNTY TREASURER OF SIERRA A
DEFAuLTER-The Sierra Democrat of Saturday
Aug. o.. publishes the report Of the Commits
sioncr Mr. Hall, who was appointed by the
Board of Supervisors to examine the books and
vouchers of the late Treasurer, B. W. Fetter
The Democrat draws the following conclusions
A deficiency of nearly $4,000 exists in the ac-
counts of the late treasurer, Is. W. Fetter. The
books of that officer, which we have looked
over, are not in such condition as they ought
to be. There seems to have either been graat
negligence or gross carelessness in the manner
in which they have been kept Neither that
method nor system seems to have been applied,
which we all naturally look for in the books OF
a county officer Of so much responsibility as
that of a County Treasurer, 1t is exceedingly
painful for us to call the attention of the public
to this circumstance, bat it IL duty we owe
our readers and needs no apology.

FATAL FALL FROM PRECIPICE.-The Hum
bolt Times learns from the Trinity Express, that
young man called Tommy Thompson, fell
over precipicc, about mile above Cedar Flat,
on the 9TH inst, and was killed. The river
trail follows the brow of the precipce, and he
was passing along the same in the evening,
when he fell He was in the habit of drinking,
and was intoxicated at the time. The prcipice
where he fell is some three hundred feet, nearly
perpendicular, with craggy 'front.' and he was
badly bruised. He was miner on the Trinity
in that vicinity.

w. Ro,,te TO California.

Clne of the most important items Of news re-
oo;yad bv the Sonora. is the almost positive as
snronce that the Iong-existing difficulties have
haen adjusted. aud all necessary arrangements
made. for the speedy opening OF the route
across Npxico, bin the Isthmus Of Tehuantepec.
and that the work of constructing the necessary
WAGON road across that portion OF the country
is being pushed forth with vigor. IL is even
rumored that mail contract has been awarded
IN the company by the General Government,
under the law of 1845, which, IN ADDITION 10 q
heavy loan they expect soon 10 receive, wiz
enable them at once to commence operations
II is a matter of uncertainty yet to which OF
the three rival claimants the right oil transit
over this route has been granted; puI tnat Is
matter of but little Importance to our readers
who will rejoice In the fact that it has been CIV
on ont and this long-talked-of route and the
shortest one. by several hundreds of miles, be-
tween California and the Eastern States-will
speedily be in readiness for the accommodation
of travellers.
Travel over the Nicaragua route has not been
resumed. Notwithstanding the numerous reports
that it would be soon; there can be but little
doubt. however, that it will not remain closed
much longer, form case the difficulties exist
ing in the unhappy county through which 1t
passes are not speedily adjusted. and govern
meut formed which shall be capable of furnish
ing the requisite protection to the freight and
passenger traffic which passes over the line
the United States authorities will take the route
under their protection. and keep 1t open perma-
nently for the accommodation Of such as may
choose to avail themselves of it.
In addition to this the difficulties which have
SO long existed between the Government Of the
United States and the authorities of New Ora
NADIA. which have so long been the cause Of ap'
prehension on the part of travellers who were
forced to go by that route, are now in fair
way for speedy settlement, as far as personal
safety is concerned; and in short time when
the others are opened, an opportunity will be
offered for honorable competition, which we
hope will have the effect Of reducing the rates
of fare to figure within the reach of ALL
Wide West.

FAST RIDNG.-On Thursday last, Geo. Gray,
and man named Webster were arrested by po-
lceman 0 'Brien for riding across bridge at a
"pace faster than walk" and fined, the former
fifty, and the latter twenty-five dollars. Web
ster was a stranger in town, is minister, horse
Jockey, agent for the Pacific Seminary, &C., and
it is supposed that conspiracy was concocted
among some wags, to get him into the scrape.
In fact, it has been openly charged in town that
the Recorder was at the head Of the conspiracy,
but upon inquiry, we are satisfied that neither
Mr.. Hupp, nor any Of the city officers, had any
thing to do with it. Mr.. Webster was endeav-
oring to trade horses with Gray, and the two
rode out short distance to show off the fine
"points" of their horses. In coming back, Gray
induced Webster to run at a furious rate across
the bridge, by telling him, that although it was
contrary to the city ordinance, there never was
but one man fined for fast riding, and he was
drunk at the time. A report was also in circu-
lation, that the fines had been remitted by the
Recorder; but the gentleman who acted as cOun-
sci for Mr.. Webster informs us that this was not
the case.
The Nevada Democrat., 1857-08-26
FOCAL INTELLIGENCE

TIE VIRGINIA DTcH.-We have received a
eemmunication from Mr. Sanford Coleman, OF
Omega. in regard to the Virginia Ditch, and
the mining prospects OF that sectien.. The late
bour of its reception renders it impossible for
rs to publish it ia full which we regret, as it
contains many items of interest in regard to
the mines in that locality. The work on the
Virginia Ditch has again been commeced under
favorable auspices, and the miners in the neigh
borhood are greatly rejoiced at the prospect OF
an early supply of an abundance OF water
Some thirty or forty men are now engaged up
on the work, and SIS soon as the necessary ar
raneements can be made, workmen will be em
oloved upon the whole length Of the ditch.
The miners have expressed their confidence in
the enterprise by going to work upon the ditch,
and agreeing to take their pay in water after
its completion. The diggings around Omega
are perhaps as rich as any in this county, many
sets Of claims are now paying from ten to TWEEN
ty dollars day to the hand. The want Of
water has been seriously felt, and heretofore
miners ceuld only work their claims about three
months in the year, and then only on one
horse scale. Since the work has been recon-
menced, the miners have been prospecting along
the line of the ditch, and have found good dig
pines for a distance of six or seven miles above
Omega I....t.l.
The Nevada Democrat., 1857-08-26

Mr.. PLuMER's PosTIoN.--We understand that
some inqusitve gentlemen of this place. have
ascertaned that Mr.. Plumer is in favor of early
rains, and are using this fact with great effect
against him with river miners. We are author
lied to state that Mr. Plumer has expressed no
opinion upon this question, and further, that he
was not the cause Of the late universal influenza;
that he was not in the last dog fight and has no
hand in the next war; that he is in favor ofgood
diggings, with the bed rock of proper pitch,
water the year round. an equitable temperature,
an addition to our moonlight nights, and an i'm
mediate reform and general Improvement in ev-
erything. AS this gentleman's orthodoxy is
questioned upon general principles, we take this
occasion to set him right before the community,
upon few specific points of public interest.

AuDToR's REPoRT-Thc report of the County
Auditor, which will be found in our adv ertsing
columns, giving as it does very full and CON-
plete exhibit of the receipts aud expenditures
of the county government, from July 10th, 1856
to May 3lst, 1857, will be read with interest
by the tax payers of the county. From this re.
port, it will be seen that the county debt, exclu.
siye of warrants that were issued previous to
the destruction of the county records, and
which may still be outstanding, is something
over one hundred thousand dollars.
The Nevada Democrat., 1857-08-26

MURDER AND RoBBERY.-On Friday afternoon,
a man named Gilbert, who lived at Jefferson
Canon, near Washington, was fonnd murdered
in his cabin. His head and neck had been lit
orally cut to pieces with an ax-there being no
less than nine mortal gashes-an his head was
nearly severed from bis body. Suspicion rests
upon some Indians who had been stopping for
some time in the neighborhood, and who left
the evening of the murder and came to Nevada.
Indian tracks were seen about the house, and
a powder-horn and two shot-pOuches were taken
from the cabin. Gilbert was in Washington on
Friday morning, where he got intoxicated, and
was taken home drunk and left by his friends
lying on the floor. The night previous to the
murder, the house OF Mr.. Jones, which is near
Gilberts cabin. was robbed of lot of women
and children's clothing black frock coat, and
an accordeon. Indian tracks were also found
about Jones' house.

WATER WoRKs.-It will be seen by the special
election notice, published in another column,
that an arrangement has been entered into be-
tween the Trustees of this City and Messrs. Nc
Roberts & Co., for supplying the city with water
for fire purposes, which has to be ratified or
is called for the 10th proximo, and the matter
is likely to be thoroughly discussed before that
time, so that the people will be able to vote
understandugly. Two propositions were be-
fore the Board and a majority of the Trustees
considering this one by far the most advautag-
GUS for the interests Of the city, adopted it, sub
ject to the ratification of the citizens
