NEVADA GENIUs.-The editor of the
Pacific pays high but deserved COM
pliment to the genius of Nevada in max
ing improvements in the modes of ex-
tracing eald from the soil. The long
tom. great advance upon the old
rocker was first brought into use in this
county. Then sluices were invented
here and from this place introduced all
over the State and into the gold fields OF
Australia. The first ditch for mining
purposes was dug in this county.
Matteson discovered the process of
tearing down mountains by hydraulic
power, and applied it first on American
Hill The mode has added immense
power to the miner whereverit is known.
Next the miners of North San Juan
in this county, have resorted to gu 1pow-
der to crumble and demolish their banks
with success. The Pacific queries of
Nevada men might not be heard if
shortly mining by electricity.

SACRAMENTO UNIuN.-The Wednes.
nesday's issue of this paper comes to us
a double sheet containing .forty-one col.
umns Of reading matter. The enterprise
of the Union far exceeds that of any
other journal on the.coast, and deserves
and undoubtedly receives every encour'
agement from the reading public. Itt
conductors are bending every effort tc
make the Union a necessity to every per-
son of intelligence in the State. We
wish them success, for the Union is Ger.
tainly the best newspaper for the mass
es that has yet made its appearance from
a California office. 1t has but oae fault
1t rarely if ever replies to a cotempora'
ry which controverts its positions. This
may be counted dignifed by some, but
it passes for another sor: of coin among
others.

FoR PARAGUAY. Late Atlantic pa

For PARAGUAY. Late Atlantic pa
pers inform us that the flagship of'the
squadron destined to act against Para
quay, having on board Judge BowlIn'
the American minister has already
sailed Judge Bowlin is charged with
the duty to proceed to the principal city
in Paraguay, and make known the de-
mands of his government. In case OF
refusal tc comply. the armament fitted
ont for the purpose, consisting Of four
teen vessels, will proceed to enforce the
demands. Adviees from the seat of
the power of Lopez represent him as
making preparations for resistance. =
What implements of war he is ga
thering tos ether for destroying Los
Americanos" is not yet divulged to the
world-doubtless, however. they are of
formidable character. In the absence
of direct information, fancy conjures up
the terrible engines and armies our
countrymen must encounter. As Para
quay is much like every other Spanish
country in America, our imagination is
vastly assisted. We will fancy the old
Dictator himself at the head of his "God
and Liberty men," astride mule, his
head appearing through hole in a
blanket. spurs to his heels weighing four
pounds piece, mules mouth pried open
with an Archimidean lever bit, and Mr..
Dictator carrahooing energetically.-
These are the prominent characteristics
of the generalissimo ofthe armies Of Pa
raguay; minor particulars as to his per-
sonel to be suggested according TO taste.
The Paragnayans are pretty good hors-
men. OF course this hostile nation will
be well supplied with cavalry. I'm
agine a crowd of mounted greasers
armed to the teeth with the lasso, and
cheese knife stuck in the leggings.
The horses are the best in the world
for the Spanish race to ride to battle
at the first demonstration they partake
of the wishes of riders and bear them
out of harms reach in grand STAN
pede. But the infantry are more for
midable and will stay on the ground
longer from the fact they cannot get
away so fast. Just figure regiment
upon regiment of bare-footed men
dressed in mammoth drawers, with flint
lock muskets of Queen Anne's time. or
their shoulders, and then take look al
the conmissary depar:ment--red pepper
frijoles, jerky by the cord. and aguardi
ente that would cauterize the gullet o.
an alligator. What a field on which
to reap laurels for American arms! Here
is where old Bucks "high American
policy" is to be displayed.

gentsl Can she convey the information
to the public that no genuine warrants
are aAoat but those that are good against
her, shut up to her.agents alone the pow
er to test the claims against her, and
then claim indemnity from one of her
own citizens who has been misled by her
own FAULT 1t would seem not.
There is another query that might be
raised in this connection.
In the State Debt Act. Sec. IL is
specified what shall be considered equi-
table claims against the State, and then
occurs the following:
"And if the Treasurer of State shall
wilfully issue bonds upon claims not
herein specified as receivable, it shall
be deemed misdemeanor, and shall be
punished as provided in Sec. of thif
Act, and such bond shall be void"
The query may be asked, ifthe State
can protect herself by declaring bonds
void that have been issued tc,Ifutly by
her agents without valid consideration
therefor, why isnot the proper mode fol
her to seek redress in this case, where
negligence is the fault, to declare these
bonds void also2 Should the State make
a distinction between moral and intel
lectual incompetencyl We raise these
questions not for the purpose of reflect
ing upon the present State Treasure
or his assistants, whom we believe have
not meaningly done aught amiss in thu
discharge of their duties.
We may refer to :his subject at a
mother time.

DEATH FROM EATING MATCHEs.-To
considerable list already made, we
add another instance of the death of a
child from eating matches. A son of
Hon. VIM. Hill, of Rough & Ready, a
promising boy of more than two years,
is the last victim. His parents were
warned of the danger of leaving matches
where children could reach them, and
took every precaution against accidents.
But unluckily the boy found some left
in bath house, ate and was poisoned.
Every effort was made to save him but
without avail. He died on Tuesday
week, after some days of severe suffer-
ing.
The Nevada journal., 1858-11-19

WOODEN PIPEs.-As an argument in
favor of supplying Nevada with water
throu gh wooden pipes, we may instance
the fact that Springfield in Massachu-
setts has system of'water works made
of logs which have been in use twenty
years and are in good condition yet.
The openings in the logs are charred on
the inside by forcing fame through them
which preserves the logs from decompo-
sition wonderfully.

H.P. WHITE &Co.-A look at oul
advertising columns will disclose the fac'
that o. H. P. White, our former fellow
citizen, is again candidate before the
people of Nevada, not for an Office this
time, but for their patronage in the for
warding and commission line. The
Colonel is known to his advantage in
this county and will doubtless receive his
share of attention from our merchants
and others

You've AMERICA.-Two boys not hav
ing the fear of the Sunday or any Other
law before them, got into a quarrel on
Sabbath last at the csrner of CONNER,
cial and Pine. Blows followed, when
one of them drew a loaded pistol, took
aim and pulled the trigger. The cap
burst. Aleck, the fruit dealer, stook the
pistol from the blood-thirsty youngster
and threw it away, The combattants
then came together in hand to hand
conflict. AS the battle waxed hot the
belligerent little devil who had been dis
armed called on younger brother to
come to the rescue and stick knife
which the younger carries into his anita
gonist. Gentlemen interfered and put
an end to the war. Neither boy is four
teen years of age and not large at that.
This is certainly precocity with ven
geance.

Gen, Scott for the Presidency.

The N. Y. Herald pronounces in favor
of Gen. Scott for the Presidency Be-
fore any American General of the pres
ent century. Scot is eutitled to the
honor A more scientific officer and
greater warrior or man than Jackson, it
is needless to add his claims and quail
tications are immeasurably superior on
the score of services or talent to either
Taylor or Pierce. But we still adhere
to an old opinion that military services
and abilities displayed upon the field of
battle, are not sufficient to base claim
to the Presidency. Gen. Scott has
won and merited the highest position if
any American General ever did since
the days of Washington. His name is
the terror of traitors within and foes
without In every position where he
has been placed, save and except alone
his tournament and Marcy's with
the pen, he has shown himself
equal to any emergency. His his
tory, the Herald may well say, is
entwined in the history of the country
for the last forty years. Everywhere
emblazoned on the annals of the nation
are the renowned exploits of General
Winfield Scott. But all his feats Of
arms do not necessarily qualify him for
President. He may be as fit for the
place as almost any ofthe prominent men
of the nation of the present day. He is
not in his dotage. like Buchanan, and is
too much of hero to become the tool of
a section like him. He is less of fence
rider and dough-p pate than Cass, less of
a demagogue than Douglas, not so
much of a political supple jack as Wise,
more conservative than Seward, staun
cher friend of those of whom he could
afford tobe envious, than Crittenden, and
has the advantage ofDickinsonin in having
been born where Dickinson wanted to be-
But after all some other man would
suit the country better, in our way of
thinking Scott had trial once for
the place before the people, and a fifth
rate lawyer, fiftieth rate General and. a
first rate whisky soak, beat him scan
dalously. General Scott ought to be
satisfied with that verdict, if the sensi-
BILE portion of his countrymen are not.
In war it sometimes becomes a brave
General after terrible defeat to mus
ter his forces and attempt to retrieve
the disaster. II will not do, however to
carry military maxims into politics al
ways. Gen. Scott will do to lay seige
to the strongest fortress on earth, Or
attempt to carry it by storm, bnt to at
tempt to make an impression upon hard
headed locofocos is beyond the power
of all the artillery he ever drew to bat
tie.

Memphis Co., had the water chiefly

publishes statement by which it would
appear that the eastern half of the At
lantic Gable was worthless when laid
down. Besides the leak 220 statute
miles from Valentia, there is another
one fultherin the ocean which cannot
be repaired. The powerful electric cur
rents used, will soon burn up the gutta
percha at the leaky places. The Eng
lish government, it is reported, is about
to lay down another wire, in view of the
Importance of having electrical commu-
nication with her American colonial pos
sessions. The probabilities then are
that the much celebrated Atlantic Gable
will prove a total failure, though of

represents that there is much destitu-

employ at the New Almaden quicksilver
mines. in consequence of the suspension
of the works by suit at law to test the
title of parties to the mines. Many OF
the miners, thinking themselves certain
of employment have been improvident,
spending every dollar as it was received,

The CONTEST IN ILLlNoIs.-How
the election results in Illinois will be re-
ported. is problem. Douglas, at last
accounts was still bestiring himself en-
ergetically. speechifying as ever. while
his opponent. Lincoln, is no less active.
Much depends upon the course pursued
by the Administration men on the day
Of election. In many of the counties Of
Illinois the Lecomptonites nominated a
ticket of their own for the Legislature
and have given evidence of an intention
to vote it. But how far the influence
of Vice President Breckenridge, Senator
Brown of Mississippi. and other distin-
guished men of the Administration side
may succeed in reconciling tho Demo
cracy to Douglas, is yet to be known
The effect of the interference of such
men must be considerable. Without
such aids, the probabilities are in favor
of the success of majority of the Re-
publican nominees for the Legislature.
The Democracy have however, the Re-
publicans at disadvantage in the Senate
where the hold-over Democratic mem
bers outnumber their opponents. With
this advantage, taken in connection with
the assistance rendered Douglas by lead
ing friends of the Administration, it is
safer to suppose Douglas will be returned
to the Senate than not.
