% A writer in the S. F. Chronicle
who signs himself ''Self-defence," sug-
gests good way of managing "gar-
rote," by suddenly throwing back your
right leg, twining it around his leg, and
thus pushing him down, with yourself
uppermost. This may be very excel
lent idea, but the difficulty is, that the
garroters will read the article ofs"Self-
defense" and will be prepared for it.
1t is like the speech of Gen. Cass, du-
ring the Mexican War. upon the army
bill. He said be only wanted to scare
the enemy-fogetting that the Mexi-
cans would read his speech.

1t is not worth candidates trouble,

abandoned or worked out, and voters
but few. 1t is fair sample of the early
river diggings-that paid SO remarkably

this point of the river; but many made
money there last year-small piles how

there last fall for the Atlantic, with the
intention of returning no more.
The palmy days of Lander's Bar are
over. There are no visitors from abroad
anxious to invest in the river, nor deal
ers to pay high price for gold, nor pol
ltlclans to stand treat, nor rich diggings
to humbug the crowd, nor big "dimmy-
cratic" majorities to go down to Marys-

Many happy days l have spent there,
days of hope, bright then, though dim'd
and faded now.
In my next 1 will endeavor to give

BRIDGEs.-Operations have commenc-
ed, we notice, for the rebuilding of the
bridges at the foot of Main and Broad

now on the ground, and the framing
work is rapidly going on. But few

RAMON Wednesday evening, after
a week of the most delightful sunshine
ever seen anywhere else but in Califor-
MIA, we had fine shower which contin-
ued until yesterday morning. Showers
this time of the year are far more val
liable to the country than at any other
season, as they serve to keep the foun-
tains running full, late in the spring.

signs giving party at Flurshutz hall
on Monday evening. The young folks
will again have an opportunity to spend
an evening pleasantly, and we hope
they may all be in attendance. The
best of music will be furnished.

QUARTz.-Quite a number of pros
pecters for quartz, have been busy in
our vicinity, during the last few weeks,
and we understand that several lodges
have been discovered, which are thought
to be rich. We hope soon to see num-
Der of mills erected, and this prominent,
and lucrative branch of business, added
to our other sources of prosperity
Nearly every one who is acquainted
with the country lying Immediately
around Nevada, is convinced that it CON
tains rich leads of gold bearing quartz.
All that is wanting to develop the mex
haustable source Of wealth, is a small
capital and little faith.

QUARTZ LEAD.-A quartz lead was
struck last week, on Gold Flat, short

The Nevada Journal, of Friday, con-
tains an unusually laage amount of local
news. This is what makes a country
paper interesting-iSac Union.
The duties of country paper are
three fold. The first, is to furnish items
for the city papers to copy and give
credit for; the second is to furnish items
for the city papers to copy and not give
credit for; and the third is to furnish
items for the city papers to comment
and philosophise upon. By pursuing
this course, country paper becomes in
teresting-to city paper. They are
little trickling tributaries, that have no.
thing in the world to do, but contribute
their drops to the mighty ocean of city
newspaper literature, and be content.
Whenever country paper furnishes
"an unusually large amount of local
news the city paper will condescend
to say, "well done, good and faithful
servant" and will obligingly copy
the items. This is one way the city
papers have of being Interesting.
But then the city papers have many
other ways of being interesting. They
are those "babes of Jupiter" that sit
away up in the clouds somewhere, and
WELD the terrible thunders of the free
press. They control the policy of the
state, lead public opinion, dictate to the
supreme court, abuse the legislature,
and get the state printing. They don't
he close, and watch the ebb and flow of
the peoples sentiment, and when they
learn which way the current is setting,
60 In with the flood tide. They are not
the plant servants of majorities - make
believe watch dogs growing when
the majority say growl - and roaring

whenever the master says, "let up
They are bold, independent, and deci-
slve' that's what the city papers are.
that's what makes city paper inter-
esting.
we would like to make the Journal
interesting" We will publish all the
murders, assaults, and fatal accidents
we can hear of; and when it don't hap
pen to be very good week for these
interesting little incidents, we can in
vent "rlch quartz leads" and "big
strikes" ad li6itum. If we should han
pen to have an opinion upon any subject
OF general interest, we will give il a
very modest utterance, as becomes a
country paper"

FROM THE ATLANTIC STATES.


The Steamer Sonora arrived at San
Francisco on Tuesday evening at G
o'clock. New York papers were laid
upon our table Wednesday evening,
twenty y-four hours in advance of the
mail. How they got there, we don't
know. We rather think they were
brought from the Bay by the Carrier
Pigeon Express. We return thanks to
the bird in the air.
CoNGREss.-A bill has passed both
houses for the construction of wagon
road from Fort Kearney, via the South
Pass of the Rocky Mountains and Great
Salt Lake Valley, to California.
Bills have passed for settling Califor-
MIA land claims, to prevent counterfeit
ing, and to raise the pay of army off,
GERS.
The committee appointed to investi-
gate charges of corruption against mem
bers recommended the expulsion of Gil
bert Edwards, Welch and Matteson,
and the exclusion of Mr.. Simonton as
reporter. The report of the committee
is fully sustained by the published evi-
dence.
IMPORTANT DIscovERY.-Be Benjamin
Hardinge describes at length, in the N.
Y. Tribune, the new process he has dis
covered for the liquifcation of quartz
rock, the extraction therefrom of every
particle of gold, or other metal. and the
retaining of the residuum in the form of
a liquid, which can be turned again into
solid rock in blocks of any size or shape,
for building or ornamental purposes
Dr. Hardinge, in his statement, says
that be has devoted eight years to the
discovery and perfection of his appara-
tus. With an engine of Is horse power,
and his machinery attached, be can dis
solve Is tons of quartz rock per day, in
'cater, precipitate the gold, and run off
four thousand gallons of liquid rock
This liquor can be colored and tinted to
every shade by various mineral substan-
ces, and cast into moulds of any shape,
forming building material as durable,
and more beautiful than marble, and
cheaper than brick.
This discovery is so striking and sin
gular, that the entire truth of the state
ment will naturally be doubted. But
DIR. Hardinge gives the endorsement of
great names to the correctness of his
statements.
GOVERNOR STFPHENs.-Sec'y Marcy
has written to Gov. Stephens of Wash
ington territory, censuring him in the
strongest diplomatic terms, for his con-
duct in the proclamation of Martial Law
and the arrest of the U. S District
Judge.
FLooDs.-The Connecticut aud Hud
son rivers have risen to great height,
and considerable damage has been caus
ed. A man and a boy were drowned i'll
the streets of Albany.
For GovERNoR-The democrats of
Connecticut have nominated Hon. Sam
uel Ingham for Governor.

LARGE MAIL.-Nearly two thousand
letters, and one thousand papers were

g Lot us swear en- oath, and keep it with a,
equal mind"

. Lot us swear an oath, and keep it with an
equal mind.'
We do hereby solemhly affirm, that
for all time hereafter, so long as we
hold the high and responsible position
of Editors of the Journal, not one single
couplet of original poetry, good, bad, or
Indifferent, shall appear in its columns
so help us, shades of mighty bards,
from the Iliad to Maud inclusive.
Dsrsmus. We have said it. The
fiat has gone forth and no appeal lies,
If thereby we clap an untimely extin-
guisher upon any little spark of genius
just struggling into blaze-we can't
help it. If any inspired youth, stung
to madnes by our neglect, takes Chat
terton like to epitaphs and laudanum,
or plunges, Byronically, into rolling
collars and misanthropy-we are very
sorry. If we thus deprive the world of
ANY glorious song we don't care; it is
our private opinion, that the world has
an abundance of glorious song already.
We are willing to stand the damage
out of the first money that comes out
but we have said that we wont publish
any more original poetry we
wont. We are as memorable as fate.
We have now in our drawer, eleven
several productions of native bards. A
few-a very few of them are good. AS
we don't intend to publish them we can
say so much without fear of successful
contradiction. The rest are unutterably
execrable. Such an utter defiance of
all rules of photography, prosody, and
punctuation-such a heterogeneous
compound of metres mingling
of iambics, troehees, spondees and dac-
tyls- and added to all this, such total
lack of either sense or sentiment, it has
never been our i'll luck to witness before,
and we trust will never be our misfor-
tune to witness again.
The last of our receipts in this line,
was "pome" entitled, "To an absent
loved one." and signed "Adolphus. -
Hear the first verse!
II setting by my camp FIRE,
My gold I'm coming and ore,
And what in the world / most desire
To case upon thy lovly features once more"
This is the best of fifteen stanzas.-
The author kindly adds, that "if his
offerings are acceptable, he can furnish
us with a peace nearly every soeak."'-
Thank you, Adolphus, but we wouldn't
choose it. We are not a passionate
man. nor an i'll natured man; we are
not angry now; we are cool very
cool; but patience has its limits and
don't you dare to bring any more such
doggerel as that to us, Adolphus =
There would be broken head between
us.
We don't wish to expose ourselves to
such excruciating infictions al The
above, again. No more original poetgs.
We have cut the nuses dead, foreysu
and forever.

GOLD HILL-This place has been for
a long time-and is now-one Of the
richest mining localities in the county.
The "Gold Hill Mining Co." took out
last week, S1SOO-the result of four

washed out $1,000 in five days.
There are six other companies that
are making from $50 to S35 per day to

GARRoTING.-It seems that the CARROT
ing system, which has prevailed lately
in New York to such an alarming extent,
has been introduced into San Francisco.
Two men, named james Corbett, and
Charles Britton, were arrested in that
city on Saturday last, charged with gar
roting and robbing one Patrick Donohue.
Their guilt appears to be fully estab-
lished. 1t seems that Donohue and Cor
bett left a saloon together, and were fol-
lowed by Britton, and after they had
gone some distance, Corbett 'garroted'
Donohue, and Britton took his money.
In New York this ofense is punished
by imprisonment for life. Poor San
Francisco! What species of vice or
crime has she escaped
The Nevada journal., 1857-03-20

LITTLE YoRK.-We were informed,
on Tuesday, by gentleman of Little
York, that more gold will be taken from
the mines of this place, this year, than
has been taken out during all the other
years since its first discovery. The mi
ners have now got fairly into the hills,
and are using the hydraulic power with
great success. New diggings have been
discovered during the last year, and old
ones which, at one time, were consider
ed of little value, are nowpaying richly.
Six companies, working from three
to four hands each, took out last week,
in the aggregate, three hundred and
twenty ounces of gold dust.
