Letter from Carson Valley.

CARSON VALLEY Sept. so, 1857.
Editor of the San Francisco Herald I'm
Gle Billy Rogers is just about leaving for
your side of the Sierra Nevada, and hasten
to give you the latest items Of news from
this interesting locality. Two more men
have been murdered to day within few miles
of this place, by the Washoe Indians, and
Uncle Billy takes with him petition to the
Governor for aid to whip them. There are
only thirty or forty families in this valley,
all of them nearly without arms or ammuni-
tion, and it is to be hoped that Gov. johnson
will promptly furnish the necessary aid.
About three hundred Washoes are encamped
within few miles of this place, and they
have declared their intention to kill all the
whites in the valley. In my next will give
you full description of this place, SC.

THE INDIAN TROUBLES IN CARSON VAL.
LEY.-In the response to the application from
Carson Valley for assistance in pursuing and
chastsing the Indians implicated in the re-
cent outrages in that locality, Gov johnson
declines, on the ground of want of jurisdic-
diction, to furnish men or munitions for that
purpose but has rendered the use of TWEEN
ty-five stand of arms, with sufficient sup
ply of ammunition, to be employed simply
and only for the protection of the people of
the Valley against hostile attach. The arms
are to be returned when their use is NO
longer required for this purpose. The Gov.
ernor alsC offers reward of $3.50 each for
the capture and conviction of the Indians

nS- The President elect experiences great
difficulty in making selection for the office
of Secretary Of State. On account Of an OLD
grudge Mr.. buchanan owes Marcy, he OF
course cannot be retained. A New York
Washington correspondent says: 1.-The few
friends upon, whom he really leans for advice
admit the same embarrassment which he ac-
knowledges in regard to a Secretary of State.
Those who have been most clamorous for
change cannot name the man who is worthy to
tie the latchet Of Marcy's shoes. This is the
prime difficulty, and the more it is twisted
and turned, the more its reality becomes man
ifest. Of all the names suggested, proposed, OF
considered, there is not one that comes up to
the mark Of the present incumbent. Marcy
has enlarged the character of the Office, SO
that increased proportions are required to ill
its existing dimensions. The prctenders and
aspirants who are ready for any service, balk
at this place only" Mr.. Buchanan it is said
inourns over the want of harmony among his
friends. Wise is opposed to Hunter. and
Hunter to Jones, and between these rival in
terests it is possible that Mr. Marcy may be
retained as a matter Of necessity. Mr.. Cobb

THE ELECTION OF PREsIDENT.-Scveral pa
pers are discussing the constitutional right Of
the college Of the Presidential electors 10 exer-
sise any discretion in voting for. President. IL
is maintained by one party that they are
mere attorneys to execute tie ~. OF the ma
jority Of the voters; the opponents Of this doc
trine declare that they have the right, and it
is an incumbent duty on the part Of the Eiec-
tors, to exercise sound judgement in desig-
mating who shall FIJI .ha important stations Of
President and Vice President. The provision
Of the Constitution erecting the College Of
Electors was undoubtedly designed by those
VINO framed it, as check upon the popular
impulses, which ware to be modified by the in
PREVENTION of the. Electors; who, it was sup
posed would, in some measure. be, guided by
their own judgement in the discharge Of their
duties. But since any check upon the popu-
lar prerogatives has become treason TO the
popular soyereigns, these views are very dis
tasteful, and one of the most vital functions in
constituting the; government, must be dis
charged BY blind. upr,asoning agents of the
majority. The evils on both sides of the
question have induced both parties to suggest
some alteration Of the Constitution in regard
to the mode Of electing President change
might be effected without disturbing the
Constitution, by simple enactment Of Con-
gress, authorizing the people to cast their
votes directly for candidate for President at
the time they vote for Electors Of President;
and let the votes given by the people for
President be returned and counted before the
time for the election by the College of Elec.
tors; and then confne the choice of the Elec-
tors to the two candidates receiving the high.
est number ofvotes given by the people,
This would give more popular form to the
election, and the discretion of the Electors
could be safely trusted to determine between
:. the two most popular candidates. 1t would
reduce the Federal influence of the States
and increase the element of the popular will
in the choice Of President.

hrDr. Ovens Lecture. on "Wednesday
evening called together a very full ana inte''i'
cent audience, who were highly gratified by
the persuicuous manner in which the Doctor
treated the subject of agricultural chemistry.
Perhaps it was attempting too much 10 pre-
sent the subject by treatise and illustrate It
by experiments, in one lectures Tor expert
ments in an unpreparcd lecture room, away
from the lecturers iabratory, arc difficult and
often Of uncertain success. The Doctor was
however more than usually successful, and
gave his auditors very clear idea OF the or
eanic food Of plants which they derive from
the atmosphere, such, as Oxygen, Hydrogen
Nitrogen, carbonic acid gas, amonia &C., &C.,
and their proportions n the substance Of
plants and their influence upon their growth
And also of the inorganic substances which
enter into the formation Of vegetables and
which they derive from the earth. and which
must be restored to it to preserve its fertility
The idea of manuring land from the atmos
phere was novel to some, who were surprised
to learn. that the amonia deposited by th'
rain on each acre of land, in year, was suf-
ficient, with its accessories to produce two tons
of vegetable matter. This explained the DIT
ference between rain and irrigation to plants
The importance Ct preserving the ainonia o.
manures, by covering them from the action, o.
the air, and carrying the drainage from them
into cisterns to be carried in liquid form
over the land. was made very evident to The
farmer.
From an intimation the Doctor gave, he is
not believer in the theory Of a vegetable
origin of al,-but is an advocate Of the
more modern and rational idea that coal is the
condensation or the qualification Of the vas
volumes Of the carbonic gasses that sur
rounded the world before the temperature 0

This is undoubtedly, the true theory, ant
most beautifully illustrates the benefccn
providence Of the Creator, who transformed
the most fatal substance to mans existence
in the early periods Of the world, to be on
of his chiefest blessings in the maturer age
OF the earth, when man should be fitted for
and need its use. And thus are all apparen

TIE ADHESION Or Fr1ca.-In the discus

TIE ADMISSION OF Fl1cH-In the discus
sion upon the question to allow Mr.. Fitch to
take his seat, Mr.. Toombs Of Georgia said the
only question before the Senate was the regu
larity of the credentials. The Senate could
not at first go behind the commission. Mr..
Trumbull and Seward contended that the
Senate ought to go behind the credentials
and inquire into their validity, and the right Of
the claimant to his seat, before allowing him
to be sworn. Inthe earlier periods of the Gov
eminent contested seat was always held in
allegiance, till the question Of right to it was
decided. OF late years different custom
had grown up; yet there had been recently
several exceptions. The right Of Mr.. Dixon OF
kentucky was debated for fourteen days, be-
fore he was allowed to enter his seat. Mr..
Fitch was allowed to take the oath and his
seat; and the question Of the legality o.
his election was subsoq referred to the
committee on the Judiciary. When they will
