Goxernment Rexsnue.

In an article last week, on the receipts and
expenditures Of the general government, we
stated that the sudden falling of of the revenue
in the latter part Of last year, was beyond the
power Of government officials to foresce or con-
troll, and that the commercial revulsion was as
unexpected to them as It was to the people. In
commenting on this statement the Journal says
CAS- early IS November 1855 the country was warned
Of the danger of revusion likely to at moment
1t shown In than article In the N Tribune
that the sudden wealth the discovery Of California gold
had produced had engendered the luxurious habits
which nothing short Of revuson ever did or ever would
check. 1t the duty Of the
government to have prepared for the emergency pru-
dent people would for probable famine and at least when

for government bonds far before maturity the present
Administration did,

Of the sensation character, had for several years
previous to 1857, been in the habit Of predict

business community dsregarded these predie.
tions, and invested their money as though the
flush times were always TO continue. Business
men, and those engaged in commercial pursuits
/
considered remarkable that government officials
were in the same fix.
The Journal considers the paying out Of th,
surplus in the treasury at the commencement
Of the panic "as . violation of every seunt
financial rule" or all the Official acts Of th
present administration, that one is the most {,

was the most intense, the people had beeom,
frightened and were boarding their specie. Tn,
government at once disbursed oil the surplus il

the lowest market value, and by this means si1
or eight millions Of gold Was thrown into th,
market at = time when it was most needed
which tended in great measure to allay th,
excitement, and restore confidence. Had th,
government acted the miser, and boarded IL
gold, the commercial revulsion Of 1857 nigh

was the revulsion Of 1887.

THE ART or FLYNG.-It is stated that Louis
Napoleon has just made a present Of FIVE thou
sand francs to private in the line, who asserts
that be has discovered solution for the great
problem in @ronautics-the art OF flying. He
has invented kind of air ship. consisting of a
platform Of silk stretched over whalebOne, to
be propelled by two gigantic wings OF the same
material placed on each side. The erial naVi-
gator is to be suspended at distance Of about
four feet from tho platform. while his feet rest
on pedals, by means Of which the wings are set
in motion, while his arms rest on lever which
imparts to the platform the direction he chooses
to give it, Only model of this machine has
yet been constructed, and it appears to work
we'll.

NEVADA, WEDNESDAY, OCT. 6, 1858.
RErURsED FROM FEAsER.-Mr. Charles Wy

RETURNED FROM FRAsER.-Ar. Charles wy
more. who left Nevada for Fraser river on the
l4th Of June, returned last week perfectly dis
susted with the northern mines. BE thinks
there are extensive aud good diggings in that
country, but they have yet got to be found.
Some rich diggings had been discovered on
Hills Bar and Texas Bar, but they were being
fast worked out and became poorer as the river
fell. Very few OF the miners have what In Cali
fornia would be called paying claims; the most
of them are making from dollar and half
to two and half day. The diggings are
mostly on the banks Of the river, and would
only answer for the Chinese, but are consid-
cred Of little value by Californians. Mr.. Wy
more saw large number Of Nevadans scattered
over the mines, and says that very few Of them
are making money. Judge Ellison was keep
ing saloon at Fort Langly, and as he was the
only one who had license to sell liquor at
that place, he was doing thriving business
Pat Kalahor had claim at Emery's Bar, be-
low Fort Yale, and was making from fifteen to
twenty dollars day. Dick Gray, Jesse Spur
yer, and - Evans were engaged in boating
on Frazer river-carrying passengers in canoes
between Fort Yale and Fort Hope. A few
were still engaged in the clam business at
whatcom, regretting their folly in leaving Ne
vada.

at pitching quoits and tossing copper, and
could win more liquor than all the boys put

dignity and impartiality with which he pre-
sided at horse race or a fist fight, were the
praise Of everybody that was present and par
tieipated. [Renewed laughter.] Hence had
a sympathy for him, because he was struggling

The ErE.-There is no one subject in the
whole range Of medicine, so little understood
BY the profession at large, as diseases of the
eye. The union Of ophthalmOlOgy to medicine
and its elevation to the rank Of science, is the
work Of our day. The Romans received it rude
aud imperfect from the Greeks. and they from
the Egyptians. to which little had been added
BY either, this was the poor legacy to all subse-
quent generations. The subject in California
is one Of great interest, and all our people will
most gladly hear that DR.. J. w. VAN ZANDr, is
devoting his time and study to that particular
branch Of disease, and can be consulted on all
the diseases and operations on the Eye and
Ear-ofaee foot Of Clay street, San Francisco.

vorLIpr OF ths Cable.

The Atlantic Telegraph had not been opened
to the public at the date Of our latest advices
from the East, although few dispatches had
been received from England, and published in
the New York papers. The cable was still in
the hands of the electricians, who were engag-
ed in experimenting with, and adjusting their
instruments. Very little is known as to the
rapidity with which messages can be transmit
ted, but from statements made In the Eastern
papers, 1t is evident the cable works slow. The
New York Tribune says that the instruments In
use new at Trinity Bay and ValentiA record
words OF the rate of two minute, or l2O an
hour. At this rate 1880 words can be trans.
mitted in twenty-fOur hours, which is sbout
equivalent to two solid columns in the DEMO
Graf. The same number Of words can be tele-
oraphed from Sacramento to Nevada in about
two hours and half The operators, however,
report that the cable is working better and bet
ter every day, and 1t is quite probable that i'm
provements will be made in the instruments SO
that as many as twenty words can be recorded
in minute. 1t was expected that the line
would be opened to the public in few days.
The tariff Of charges had been fixed ct one dol
lar word.
As soon as the necessary arrangements can
be made, the associated press Of New York will
have reporters in all the large cities Of Europe,
to collect the intelligence Of interest, so that
their subscribers will every morning be ena-
bled to read the principal events happening in
the Old World on the day previous.

DEATH AT TEE BorToX OF A WELL.-A work
man named James Carr descended into a we'll
eighty feet deep, at San Francisco, last Thurs
day morning, for the purpose of continuing his
labor until water was reached. He had been
at work, says the Call, but q short period when
the mephitic gas affected him, and he signalled
to be drawn up. His fellow workmen became
frightened and instead of drawing him up, sent
for aid. The fact being made known to Mr.. l..
A. De GrOOt, who lived in the vicinity, he pro-
ceeded to the rescue, and was let down the
we'll, but had not completed tying rope around
Carr's body when the gas affected him, and he
was hauled up in time to save his life, for on
reaching the surface he went into eonvulsions,
and only prompt medical agents saved his life,
A Frsnehman residing in the neighborhood,
naned CLAWS, then descended, and succeeded
in completing the task Of tying the rope, but
was similarly affected, aud had o still narrower
escape with life than Mr.. DeGroot. But by this
time some person arrived at the spot who had
the presence Of mind to throw water into the
well to sxpel the gas, and CLAWS was rescued.
The body Of Carr was then drawn to the surface
aud taken to the dead house. He was an Irish
man, aged thirty years, and leaves Q wife. The
accident resulted from carslessness, as the work
men were continually cautioned not to descend
until the foul air was expelled.
