WHEN AM WHoI TO MARGy. eastern
writer, in an excellent article on the Laws of
Marriage" gives the following valuable hints
aud sound advice:
a man docs not want a wife who, can gasp
and execute Ike himself But he does want one
who can appreciate and sympathIze, A White
held does not want a wife who can rouse to
ecstacy Spitalields wcavers and Cornish miners
But he does want a wife who loves, Method5sm,
rather than PresbyteGianiSm OF Unitarianisn,
or who is interested in souls rather thanin litera
tuCc or fashion. Perfect union, however, can
be looked forno where.
If what I have said already be true, it is evi-
dent that marriage should never take place un-
I'll the parties have learned what life really IS
and their views ofdOty have become well defin-
ed. The man OF woman who marrrses another
who is not yet in earnest about anything, runs
Ia great risk. In the years to come there may
be an eternal divergence. Another inevitable
corollary is that marriage shoIld never follow
a shorter superficial acquaintance. MARRY in
in haste to repent at leisure, = be it the wit of
what one it viii, is undoubtedly the dear
bought wisdom of many.

THE GREAT PRIZE FIGHT.-The long talked Of
fight between Heenan and MOrrissey, came OF
at Long Point, Canada. Oct. goth:
Heenan made objection to the ground, saying
that 1t was not according to the agreement. but
as 80 many had come so far to see the fight, he
would waive his objection and fight. The first
round lasted seven minutes. The fighting was
terrible-Heenan throwing Morrissey and draw
ing the 6rst blood. Second round, Morrissey
was thrown. Fourth round, both men came up
looking weak. MOrrissey was knocked square
down by blow on the under jaw from Heenan' 8
right. In the 9th, sixth. seventh and eighth
rounds, Heenan was thrown. Ninth round,
both men fought wildly, and fell side BY side.
Tenth round, Heenan was knocked down.
Eleventh round, Norrissey very weak. was car
ried to the scratch Heenan went alone. This
was terrific round. aud Heenan fell fainting.
Twelfth round, Morrissey Was carried to the
scratch and HeeAan Was too faint to come to
time. The battle was declared won by Norris
sey. The eleven rounds were fought in twen-
ty-two minutes. Both HeenAn and Morrissey
we're very badly cut. aud had to be brought
away on beds The 6ght was witnessed by be-
tween 2,00e and 5000 persons.

DIR. Billy Gwin, the author OF unsuccessful
railroad bills innumerable, and the subject of
eternal commendaton from special correspond
ents at Washington, has expi essed his "feelinks"
towards Mr.. Buchanan. The letter can be
found in the Sacramento Union Of the 18th in
slant and unless Billy is playing possum, it
was full time that he relieved himself. We do
not think It would have been safe for him to
have attempted to contain himself until Con-
gress met. Could be have waited, what fne
opportunity for the Doctor, about the last day
of the next session, to have introduced bill
extinguishing the mountains, and extermina.-
ing the Indians that lie between us and our Pa
c6c Possessions. The man of physic could
have spread himself in reviewing the past, and
predicting the future. And then, as his bill,
with that fatality which has attended all Of
Gwin's efforts to rescue us from the steamship
monopoly, was gathered to its predecessors.
under the Speakers table, how the Doctor
could have bewailed his hard fate, and turned
for sympathy, to an admiring and plying con-
stituency. But DR.. Billy could not wait the
safe transit of the mail has created a little ex-
element and he must ride before the hob
by died. He hopes by telling the President
what has been done, some one might be induced
to believe he was the cause; that by predicting
what must take place, future honor and praise
will await him.
But none Of this can humbug the people Of
California. This ostentatious floating upon
o tide that he could not control, will not lull
the people of this State into forgetfuluess of
the Senator'S past course of the fact that a
steamship monomoly of which he has been the
patron and pensoner, has for eight years
weighed like an incubus upon the prosperity OF
California. Let the Senator publish all his cor
respondence upon these California routes, aud
we should have an edifying commentary upon
bis position as our represen tative, and his pres
ent fulsome adulaton Of the Administration.

NEVADA, WEDNESDAY, NOV. II, 1868.

The LATE BOARD OF EoUALTzATIoN.-The Ma
tiOnal says that we were in error in stating that
the late Board of Equalization reduced the
assessment of the Eureka Lake Company
and the Minirs' Ditch Company without the
application of the owners. We have taken
some pains to ascertain the facts, and find that
the property was given in to the Assessor by
the President, or authorized agent of the COM
panies, at bis own valuation, and several other
members of these Ditch Cos. expressed their
satisfaction with the assessment as laid Now,
although some loose statement may have been
made to members of the Board outside of the
Court House, yet nothing was brought before
them while convened, which justified this re-
duction; in fact, so patent was the impropriety
Of this course that Jesse Wall, SUPERVISE from
this District, Uroereo his protest against the en-
tire proceeding entered upon the record. The
National may have gathered from our article
an intimation that public officers had sacrificed
county interests for the purpose of toadying to
wealthy ditch companies. We said nothing OF
the kind, but published the facts and let them
speak for themselves. Those who do not like
the conclusions must prove the premises off the
records of the late Board Of supervisors.

CHILD PoIsoNED--A little boy ma med Bun
ker Hill, aged two years and seven months a
son of Mr.. William Hill, who lives at Kentucky
Flat in Rough & Ready township, died on
Wednesday evening, the 10th inst, having been
poisoned by eating friction matches. While at
play with some other children, near biz. fathers
residence, the boy got hold of box of matches
which had been accidentally dropped on the
ground, and before the older children dscov-
cred what he was doing, he had eaten off the
heads Of some of the matches, and must have
swallowed considerable quantity of the phos.
phorus used in their mandatory. The little
fellow was Immediately taken sick, and all the
remedies which medical skill could suggest
were without avail; he fingered for over q
week in great agony, when death relieved him
Of misery.

A Candidate Before the People.

We are authorized to announce the name OF
Mr.. Persistent, as candidate for the various
ofices n the gift Of the people at the next elec-
ton. We take the more pleasure IN making
this announcement as Mr.. p. has devoted him
self exclusively to the business of Office hunting
during his residence in this State. 1t is need
less to enumerate the gentleman's qualifications
for the several positions to which be aspires.
The practical cast OF his mind inducing him to
regard the fees as the real position, he will de-
vote all the energies of his mind to their aequi-
sitiou. Mr.. P's. entire familiarity with the an
cient maxim, '.sboot high" will induce him TO
have his name placed before the Convention
for the first Office in their gift but he will, il
necessary, come down to the wishes Of the sov-
ereigns Nothing below Constableship, how
ever, will be accepted. Mr.. Persistent will
probably 60 into the Convention with some few
delegates. Should be 6nd his own chances un.
favorable, he will unite with his brother and
then take deputyship, or in poker parlance
divide the pot, upon the strength Of that other
maxim. that half loaf is better than nc
bread" With this course of management Mr.
P. is perfectly familiar, and will doubtless sue
eeed. We recommend Mr. p. to the electors o
this county as suitable person for their suf
frages. He is a young man Of great promise
(see hotel keepers.) Is desirous Of having larg'
family, and has no other means OF obtaining I
livelihood. Will the sovcreigns consider BIZ
case!

In another column will be found the news
received by the overland mail, and published
ia our Extra of Saturday. 1t would Eeem from
the dispatch that the Republicans have gained
nineteen members Of Congress from the three
States of Pennsylvania. Ohio, and Indiana.
The politics of some Of the members elect, how
ever, is not stated correctly. For instance,
Messrs Montgomery, Hickman and Schwartz
of Pennsylvania, who are classified as Republi-
cans, are anti-Lecompton Democrats, were
nominated as suca, and elected over the admin
istration candidates. The same may be said OF
Messre. Davis and Holman Of Indiana. In
Ohio, according to the most authentic returns
received, the Democrats have elected six mem
bers, aud the Republicans dfteen-the latter
gaining taree members. This will give the
Democrats fifteen Congressman from the three
States named, being loss Of fifteen members
or the fifteen, over half were nominated as an-
ti-Lecompton Democrats, and of the others, ell
but one, Florence of Pa, have repudiated the
only remaining provision of the English bill,
aud announced their intention Of voting for
the admission of Kansas whenever the people
Of the Territory shall make application. The
Democrats have elected one member in Flor
ida, and the Republicans two in Iowa; In these
States there is no change.
If the Presidents Kansas policy is taken as
the test, the administration will be in woful
minority in the next House of Representatives.
This result was anticipated, aud the reLuke to
the administration was well deserved. Had
the President aud his advisers honestly carried
out the policy indicated in his letter of instrue
tions to Gov. Weller, the people both North
aud South would have sustained him, aud the
Democracy would have swept the country like
Q tornado. But instead Of sustaining Gov.
Walker, that gentleman, ut the beck of clan
of fre-eaters was removed by the President, for
no other offense than that of carrying out the
plain letter of his instructions. The people
have held the Democratic party responsible,
and perhaps justly SO, for the acts of those
whom the party placed in power. In the gen.
eral wreck and defeat Of the party, it is graft
| fying 10 know that Hickman and Montgomery
of Pennsylvania, and Davis Of Indiana have
been reelected by the people Of their respect.
i've districts During the last session of Con-
gress these gentlemen stood out against the
Lecompton fraud aud English infamy to the
last; aud neither threats of Ostracism nor Fed
eral influence, could induce them to swerve
from the true principles of the Democratic
creed The result of the elections thus far
held, we hope, will teach the President that he
is not tho absolute owner Of the Democratic
party.

U. S. SENAToRs.-We see it stated in num-
Der of California papers, that the Republicans
have gained two U. S. Senators, one in Iowa
and one in Indiana, by the result of the recent
elections in those States. This is mistake.
Senator Jones, of Iowa was superseded last
winter, by the election of Gov. Grimes, a Re-
publican, and the term of Senator Fitch of In
diana does not expire until the 4th of March,
1861. Rhode Island has also elected Repub.
lican Senator in place of Allen, Democrat.
The States of Illinois. Minnesota. New Jersey
and Michigan, elect Senators this winter, in
place Of Democrats, and the elections held in
those States on the I'd inst, will determine the
politics of the new Senators.

FIGHT WITH IsDIANS-ONE WHITE MAN hiLLED'
ON Saturday last, Jacob Robinson, packer,
went TO an Indian raneheria near Smiths ranch
ON the Sacramento river, about twenty miles
above this place, aud asked for an Indian to
hunt an estrayed mule. The one whom he ad-
dressed said that the Indian that always hunt
ed up the stray mules had gone to Yreka. Rob-
iuson told him that be didn't believe 1t, for he
had seen him short time previous. young
Indian, who had formerly resided with u. ID.
Harrill, Of this place, then approaching Robin
son, told him that he was "Shacktaw" of that
tribe. and that il he had anything more to cay
he had better say it to him and he then snub'
bed Robinson's nose with bis quiver OF arrows.
Robinson Immediately went back to Smiths
ranch, and getting Mr.. MCGOWAN and VIM
King to follow him, returned to the rancheria.
When the two latter arrived, Robinson was al
ready engaged in fight with the Indians. See
ing that be was being Overpowered, however
he took to the river, and while swimming across
received an arrow in bis head, one in the shout
der, and one in the thigh, all Of which DR.. H EN-
~ Bates, of this city, extracted, and now his
prospects of recovery are favorable.
MCGOWAN snapped his gun at an Indian, and
then clubbing il, went into hand-to-hand hght
with q number Of them. He received severe
cut in the bead with an ak, and an arrow IL
the left veDtrcle of the heart. which resulted
In his death on Monday. Mr.. King managed tC

INDIAN VALLEY. This interesting little VAL
lev is on the North Yuba, sixteen miles below
Downieyille one mile and half from the Yu.
ba line. The town is directly down the slope
north from Indian Hill. Some of its buildings
are on either bank of the river. There is con-
siderable mining carried on along the banks by
Chinese, who are the principal operators in that
capacity in the Valley. The town has its full
compliment and variety of business common in
mountain towns. In the valley is beautiful
little ranch, belonging to Mr.. W. A. McLaugh-
lin, containing some thirty or forty acres OF
choice land, upon which are produced large
quantities Of vegetables Of various kinds aud
Of the finest quality. This ranch yields annu-
ally net profit Of about $4,000. with but a
moderate amount of labor expended. AS there
is very little snow at any time, large numbers
of Indians formerly made it a winter retreat
hence the name, Indian Valley.-Sisrra Citizen.

REWARD OFFERED.-On Sunday evening, Nov.
7th, Berthold Hoen. of Santa Rosa, was robbed
of $500 in money, county warrants to amount
of $l,500, and notes TO amount of $4,000,
making in all $4,000. The money was in a
wallet, at boarding house kept by Mrs.
Vally. Two robbers entered, masked, and
while one held Mrs. vally in check, the 9th
er got the wallet. Mr.. Hoen offers reward
of $1,000 for the property stolen, or $4,000 for
the property aud thieves. The citizens of San
to Rosa offer $3.50 for the apprehension and
conviction of the robbers.

A SUCCESSFUL FRAsERTE.-Pat. Kalahor re-
turned from Fraser river last week. He was
among the first to leave this section for the
northern mines, and has made something over
two thousand dollars. He was lucky enough
to get claim at Emery's Bar, on Fraser river.
which yielded from forty to fifty dollars a day.
Perh APPS not less than two thousand miners left
Nevada county during the past summer for
Fraser river. The most of these have returned;
but the above is the only instance that we have
heard Of in which an adventurer got back with
more money than he took away with him.

The ILLINOIS FIGHT.-The contest In Illinois.
between Douglas and Lincoln, was waxing hot
ter and hotter at last advices. The last point
at which they met and measured lances, was at
Alton they both exhibited the wear and tear
Of the campaign physically and mentally, and
each looked As though he wished the contest
was over. The recent successes Of the Repub-
licans in other States, have, it is thought by
many, considerably weakened Douglas chan
ces. The Little Giant, however, is making a
desperate fight, and We shall be disappoin ted il
he does not come out with flying colors.
