A STEAM ENGINE EPXERIMENT-A SCARED CLERGY
MAN.-fhe first English model of steam carriage
was made in 1881, by William Murdoch, the friend
aud assistant OF Watt 1t was on the high pres
sure principle, and ran on three wheels. The 5oi-
Ter was heated by spirit lamp, and the whole
machine was of very dimiButiye dimensions
standing little more than one foot high Yet on
occasion the little engine went so fast that it
Outran the speed of its inventor. MIR. Buckle saws
that one night, after returning from his duties in
the mine at Redruth, i'll Cornwall, Murdoch de-
termined to try the working of his model locomo-
tive. For this purpose he had recourse to the
walk leading to the church, about mile from the
town. The walk was rather narrow, and bounded
on either side by high edges.
ut was a dark night, and Murdoch set out
alone to try his experiment Having lit his lamp,
the water began To boil aud off started the engine
with the inventor after il. He soon heard distant
shouts of despair. 1t was too dark to perceive
objects: but lie shortly found, on following up the
machines, that the cries for assistance proceeded
from the worthy pastor of the parish, who, going
towards the town on business, was met on this
lonely road by the missing and fiery little monster,
which he subsequently declared he thought to be
the Evil One pr0prtd persona. No further steps,
however, were taken by Murdoch to embody his idea
of locomotive carriage in more practical form.
Fancy clergyman on a dark night in a desert
ed road seventy years ago. meeting little loco
motive engine without driver on attendant, whz,
zing directly at him! This fifty years before
George Stephenson, by combining the experience
of the world with his own ideas, made practical
working machine OF the locomotive.

VOCABULARY OF MEXICAN Political PARTIES
A correspondent of the BuIlstin gives the fol-
Lowing dc6nition of political terms now used
in Mexico TO characterize the many parties
contending for power over that distracted Re-
public:
Puro.-A cigar-a Red Republican. The
Puro party is the one essentially opposed to
the clergy.
Federalists.-An advocate of representative
government. That all the States should be
largely represented in the halls Of a Federal
Congress, and that the nation should provide
him with fat Office. He is opposed to the
Clergy.
Constitutionalist.-Is radical Puro and Fed
eral. He believes in the Constitution of 1857,
and has sworn to it, and therefore expects a fat
office.
Annexationist-A friend of Annexation to
the United States. This class is the most silent
in the land, but believed to be growing and
about to develop itself into party.
Relgionist-An advocate of tyranic use of
the power of the clergy He goes in for the
re-establishment Of the Inquistion aud putting
thumb screws to every one who does not stump
up to the church and pray to the virgin Of
Guadalupe.
Reactionist-One who goes in for change.
Pronuncado-This is professed revolution
let. He is always to be bought.
The Nevada Democrat., 1858-09-08

INSTRUCTIONS TO Gov. DouGLAs.-In the recent
instructions from the British Colonial Secretary
to Gov. Douglas, the course of the latter in re-
lation to the Fraser river diggings is sustained
Ample force to compel obedience to tho laws is
promised, yet it is distinctly stated that il is no
to exclude Americans or other foreigners from
the gold fields. On the contrary, Gov. Douglas
is distinctly instructed to oppose no obstacle
whatever to their resort thither for the purpose
of digging gold in those fields, SO long as they
submit themselves, in common with the sub
jects of her Majesty, to the recognition of her
authority; and conform to such rules of police
as he may have thought proper to establish
The national right to navigate Fraser river is,
OF course, separate question, and one which
her Majesty's government reserves for future
consideration.
The Nevada Democrat., 1858-09-08

The COALITION IN SACRAMENro.-The Sacra-
mento Bee. in speaking Of the election in that
city, says: "The Administration men, or some
Of the Republicans-we cannot tell which-got
out a full LecomptOn ticket, with the single ex-
ception that Tracy was upon it for Congress.
Three leading Republicans that we have seen
were peddling it, and several of those that were
electioneering for the Administration ticket
were pressing it upon the voters. The Repub-
licans-a few Of them, il is true-were voting
the Lecompton ticket, and several of the partic.
ular friends of the Administration were voting
Tracy as against McKibbin aud Dudley! Pol.
itics makes strange bed-fellows.'n

THAT CANNoN.-In 1851 Captain-now Major-Day, U.
A. then at Camp Far West presented to the town Of
Grass Valley old Russian For the last three
the piece travelled between Grass Valley and Ne
vada and is year by the which gives the
largest Dsmocratc majority Yesterday morning little
before daylight the old chap voice rivaing the thun
der told that he had arrived and that Grass Valley
Is the cannon town the coming year-G. v National.
Rather ominous, Mr.. National! The old gun
is q sort of back action affair. 1t threw of frst
on the Russians, and then translated from the
fields of national, to the more noisy aud less
dangerous one of political feud, it thundered
the triumph of Know Nothingism in ffty-fve,
under the same leaders who now exult in the
victory Of Lecompton. We well remember its
triumphal eptry into Nevada, with J. Neely
Johnson, accompanied by all the Know Moth
ing leaders of to-day; this cannon then below
ed for Know Nothingism as Justify as its brazeu
confreres The fact is, the old cannon hal
changed its voice almost as often as its present
propretors, and we recommend the Grass Val
ley boilers to discharge the old soldier as toe
tricky for even their purposes, and out of th,
abundance Of their resources get up piece o.
brass artillery.

rival OF the Overland Mail.

PLACERvILLE, Sept. B.
portion of the Salt Lake mail which left
there on the 10th has just arrived, and also the
mail of the 23d, in charge Of William Lindsay,
Perkins, and Thomas. Two Of the party which
left on the 10th arrived at Lindsay's station,
and made the following statement:
On the night of August goth, at IL o'clock, r.
NJ, the party camped about eight milos below
the first crossing Of the Humboldt, hobbled their
mules and turned them out to Craze. Shortly
after, q body of about thirty Indians en- horse
back, came charging from the willows, and sue
ceeded in stampeding the stage animals. The
mail party were afraid to leave the wagon un-
protected, and accordingly guarded 1t oil night,
hoping to meet the California mail the next day.
Early next morning, a large body Of Indians
again approached, and, with hideous yelling,
kept enCrcling and nearing the party until D.
nally John May6eld who was in charge OF the
mail ordered bis mon TO fire, and two Indians
were killed. At the first fire, Nayneld brought
down one Indian and horse and killed anoth-
er Indian as they were retreating. Thinking
that the California mail had probably also been
robbed, Mayfeld concluded 10 abandon the
wagon, taking with him the mail, which he and
bis party carried fifteen miles up the Humboldt,
in the direction of Goose Greek station. Here
they were again surrounded by about four hun
dred Indians. and we're forced to abandon ev-
erything but their arms and ammunition
Some of the letters were subsequently, picked
up by Thos Pitt, who is coming through with
a large drove of cattle. Pitt states that the
mail bags were ripped open, and the wagon
stripped of everything. The mules are lost, but
the mail party all escaped unhurt.
Nothing of note has transpired at Salt Lake.
Orders had been received at headquarters OF
the army, and . portion Of the command would
march for Oregon, and company WIS under
orders TO 60 south.
A portion Of the mail of the sixteenth has ar
rived at the Post Office in a mutilated cOndi-
tion. Many of the letters are without envel-
opes.- Union Tel.

YoUNG AMERICA ON THE KNIFE.-On Thurs-
day evening some boys living in town were up
the South Fork swimming, and closed their
performances by an afterpece on shore. Two
of them had quarrel, and the larger one said
something about whipping the other. This was
retorted to by notice not to touch him, or there
would be somebody hurt. The larger boy pitch
ed in, when the other drew knife, and cut the
larger one, George in the left shoulder. inhiet-
ing large aud deep wound. He cut again,
and struck the left forearm in the feshy part,
cleaving it nearly to the bone, and severing the
artery. George came to town, and just as he
reached DR.. Kibbe's Office tainted and fell on
the street, from loss Of fblood-which had stream
