GETTING TO DE NUIsANcE-Most persons
who handle any ordinary quantity of silver coin
cannot have failed to notice that much of it of
late, bears the following impression ~. L. Pol
hemus Druggist, corner Of ]. and Seventh sts.,
Sacramento" aud so much of it is afOat, that
the people generally have become disgusted,
and it is universally voted a nuisance. Such
being the case. Mr.. Polhemus should cease
stamping coin with his business imprint, as it is
not only mean way to do, to bring himself
and business into notoriety, he has no moral
even if he has legal right, to thus force upon
the community Government coin, made into
show bill. There is United States law against
the mutilation OF coin, and we believe that the
person above mentioned is guilty of violation
of it.-Sdc. Bee

A REsCUE.-On Sunday last, in San Francis
co, a lad about seven years old, the son off. c.
Mansfield, while running along Meggs' wharf,
missed his footing, aud fell into the water. A
young man named John L. Morton, who was
standing by, heard the cry of the child, and on
the instant, accoutred as he was, he plunged in
to the rescue. 1t was feared by those who wit
messed it that the weight of his clothing would
prevent his swimming, and that both would per-
ish; but when they saw him arise to the surface
bearing the little fellow in bis arms and STEM
ming the current with lusty sinews, they knew
he was equal to the contest. He bore his prize
above the wave and gained the edge of the
wharf, where he managed to sustain himself nn-
til q rope was thrown to him, which be fasten-
ed around bis body, and by which he, together
with the child whose life he had saved, was
drawn safely to the top of the wharf, amid the
congratulations of all who witnessed it.

THE END OF UNCLE BILLY RoDGERs' ARMY
A correspondent of the PIacerville Argus, writing
from Genoa, under date Of the 9th of December,
conveys the following interesting information in
relation to the dsbanding of the "Army Of Oc-
cupaticn," raised by Uncle Billy Rodgers On
the evening of the 10th ult., Mr.. John Trumo
and Miss Mary Reese were married, and on the
occasion the commander-in-chief Of the soldiers
then stationed in Genoa, marched them out to
fire salute; but the gallant military partook
rather freely Of wine, or something stronger, and
after marching back to their "winter quarters, /"
concluded. as fighting was their calling, they
had better have a serimmage on the present oc-
casion. No enemy presenting themselves, they
pitched into fist and skull fight with each 9TH
er, in which some black eyes turned rather blue
and perhaps some blue eyes little black. The
Colonel, in his efforts to quell the disturbance,
fred several shots from pistol, which did no
further damage except to punch hole through
the leg Of one mans boot and pants. The SOL
diers have since disbanded, and most Of them
left for California.

a Boy RECOVERED FROM THE INDTANs-Mr.
William Dickson returned home TO Knox coun-
ty, Missouri, few weeks since, from the plains,
where he had been on successful mission to
recover his son, captured more than year ago
by the Indians. In the spring of '55, he, with
his family, came to California, where they re-
mained until the spring of SO, at which time
they, in company with six other persons, started
to return to the States, but on their journey
homeward was fell upon by band of Favage
Indians and all we're brutally murdered, as he
thought, except himself After his return some
time he heard of boy, about six years old, an
swering the description of his son he, in COM
pany with three other men. started IN pursuit
of him, and through the aid of the friendly
Indians he heard of the whereabouts of his SON.
He succeeded in recovering him after considera-
bic delay. lie paid twelve horses for him. The
boy had been fifteen months with the Indians
and had entirely forgotten his native (German)
language.

FEDERAL ENTHUSIASTICALLY Legislature will
meet on the first Monday in January, and al
ready the politicians are arriving in the capi-
tai. The candidates fer the various Offices are
numerous and are daily increasing in numbers.
1t is stated that the F. deral officers at San Fran
cisco. at work to secnre positions for their fa-
voritcs, will bring all their political influence to
bear to accomplish their ends. This is an insult
to the people. not less insulting because of its
frequency. The next Legislature, so far as we
are Informed. will be composed of intelligent
men, and we sincerely trust that they will meet
these attempts with the condemnation which
they merit. The Legislature can select their
own officers and attaches without the aid OF
federal interpostion, an influence which has toe
often been used in matters concerning the State
only.-Sac. Age

which will ultimately accomplish the ends for
which we were created, not only as individuals,
but as people. Nothing can, therefore, be

gained.

MINERAL LANDS IN NCALFoRNIA.-Attentiou has
been attracted says the Charleston C5arier on the
question of title in the mineral lands of Califor-
MIA. This has not been question in other
States. The title Of the general government
has always been acknowledged. The Supreme
Court of California has decided it to rest in that
State The Supreme Court of the United
States will overrule that decision and that will
end it. In the meanwhile, the gold Of Califor-
MIA will not become exhausted. Its products
will annually increase, until there will soon be
as much gold in circulation as there now is of
gold and paper. Shall we still have paper
currency? Dubtless. 1t il easier to make mo-
Dey of paper than to obtain gold from quartz.
We shall have paper money as long as the peo-
pie will submit to it-submit to paper money
and perpetuate bread riots.

GEN. DENVER AND BRIGHAM YouNG.-Brighanl
Young recently wrote letter to the Indian
Bureau, couched in insulting language, demand
ing double pay as Indian Agent, &c. Gen
Denver wrote TO Young. denying his demand
for more money and concluded his reply as fol
lows -
You say "the troops must be kept away for
it is prevalent fact that wherever there ere
the most Of these we may expect to find the
greatest amount of hostile Indians, and the
least security for persons and property" The
troops are under the direction of the President
aud it is fair to presume that he would not send
them to Utah Territory unless there was me-
cessity for so doing; and if it be true that where
ever the greatest number OF troops are there
are to be found the greatest number Of hostile
Indians it arises from the fact that the troops
are necessary at such places to preserve the
peace and to keep the Indians in subjection.--
There is no reason why persons and property
should be any the less secure in tho neighbor.

peaccable citizens should object to their pres.
cIce. IL it is your intention to preserve peace
The troops will not interfere with you; but il
you intend otherwise, then it is necessary that
the troops should be on the ground to enforce
it.
1t is much to he regretted that such state OF
affairs should exist, and it is always with great
reluctance that we arrive at the conclusion that
American citizens at any time should require
the strong arm of power TO compel obedience to
the laws. or that a subordinate officer should SO
forget his dnty to use his official position to in
jure his fcllow-ctizens and to ALLEVIATE another
portion from loyalty to their government. Bat
when convinced of the existence of such facts
the Chief Executive has no alternative left but
to crush out rebellion, and for this purpose all
the powers of the government arc placed under
his control.

NEVADA DEMOCRAT.
-WSEEDNEspAY MORNING, DEC. 2s, ls57.
Mexican Anairs.

Our dates from the City Of Mexico are to Nov
An. via New York. The accounts show most
destressing condition of affairs. The country
onpears to be crumbling to ruins, and approach.
inc a certain dissolution. The report that Com.
opfort had been declared Dictator has been
confirmed. but his position is assailed at al
ponts. Discomfort in every quarter; three
Cities of the republic -Campeacby, Curnavaca
and Oueretaro-in the hands Of the revolutions
ists the Indians ruling and running in YucataR
Durango, chihuahua, Sonora and in parts oi
Zacatecas Jalisco, COahuila and Nuevo Leon
the high roads abandoned to robbers; commerce
checked, and in many parts entirely ruined; the
most routes broken up, and the nation beggarly
Door, without the power to remedy one of the
existing evils. On all sides we hear the same
cries against the existing state of things; but
no one can devise plans for remedies.
Within the past five days, the Government
troops have been twice signally defeated. On
Saturday, Oct 3lst, the troops Of the Govern
ment that we're sent in pursuit of the revolution
ist who had taken possession OF Caernavaca un-
der command of Cobos aud Moreno, tive reVo-
lutionary leaders, were decoyed into pursuit
from Cuernavaca into the south. The revolu-
tionists kept up show of retreat until the Gov
ernment troops had passed into dangerous
position of pass called Platanillos, two leagues
this side Of Inguala when they fell upon them
with great vgOr, and killed aud dispersed the
entire Government force, and killed their leader,
Gen. Gonzalez, one of the most true and devot-
ed officers of the Government, and made q
prisoner of Gen. Buenrostro.
At Queretaro, similar mishap has befallen
the Government. Mejia, the bandit, fell upon
that place on Sunday, Nov. lst, and on Monday
morning, at o'clock, commenced an assault.
The battle lasted about seven hours, at the end
OF which time the Government troops uncondi-
tonally surrendered. In this affair Gen. Astra-
"a was dangerously wounded.
There are discohtents in all quarters, but the
most threatening is that in Yucatan. where the
revolutienists are in great strength. 1t is re-
ported here that they have sent $500, 900 to the
United States to buy ships with, to take posses
sion of the entire coast
The Congress is coolly debating and splitting
straws as if their nation was in most flourish
ing condition Although revolutions rule on
all sides, and the robbers and Indians have
what territory is not in civil war, still Congress
cannot see where the nation is drifting to-
That body has given extraordinary powers to
Comonfort, but they are still debating on the
subject; and, should things look as though
peace could exist for week, think the power
would be withdrawn.
