Ellis success will be Tremendous,
And strange to behold"

OUTRAcE.-On Sunday night last, Auburn
was disgraced by the acts of a crowd of men,
who made an attack on three houses, occu-
pied by colored men, and broke in the doors
and windows, and destroyed most of the
property in the buildings, amounting in value
to several hundred dollars. There does not
appear to have been the slightest provocation
for the outrage-the sufferers being quiet
and peaceable men. A general indignation
has been expressed by our citizens, in rela-
ton to the affair, and we learn that the
authorities will Immediately take the matter
in hand

HThe Black Republicans, the Know

EEThe Black Republicans, the Know
Nothing remnants, and Forneyites, of Penn
sylvania, have agreed to hold Fusion Con-
vention at Harrisburg, on the 9Th of this
month. "Shades of the mighty" what a
crowd of specked patriots will grace the oc-
casion! 1t will be whole geological estab-

NEVADA. july 9TH. 1858.


Editor Mercury: withstanding the de-
feat of the Administration ticket in the city
of Nevada, by combination of Douglasites
aud Black Republicans at the primary cleo
ton on Saturday last, it is now certain that
the Convention will be decidedly for the Ad-
minstraton. The leaders Of the Broderick
wing fearing their ability to carry the Con
venlion if the voting should be confined to
the true and tried Democrats of the county,
through the County Central Committee (of
which they happened to have the contro)
invited all persons of every stripe to take
part in the primary election. They knew
they would otherwise be beaten, and conse-
quently stopped to an alliance with the Black
Republican vote to gain their point. In this
city the invitation was eagerly accepted by
men who never did and never will vote
National Democratic ticket, and by this
means victory was gained over the Nation
al Democracy in the township of Nevada
Nevada city, however, is not the county The
townships of Grass Valley. Eureka, Bridge
port, Washington, Rough and Ready and
Little York have sent to the Convention Dem
ocrats elected by Democrats, and they will
give rebuke to the men who have attempt
ed to throw them into an alliance with the
Black Republicans which they will not soon
forget.
A spirit of good feeling pervades the
breasts of the masses of the Democracy in
this county, and so far as the difference be-
tween Buchanan and Douglas is concerned,
would have been settled amicably, but the
unjust and outrageous attempt made by those
who assumed to control the Broderick wing
of the party, has disguised every good and
honest Democrat, and many, who earnestly
supported Mr.. Douglas, repudiate all alliance
with Black Republicanism, to which they
were betrayed by the county committee and
its advisers Yours, CT.

THERE EYES IN THE WRoNG PLAcE.-It is
said that the Frazer river Indians entertain an
unmitigated hatred to the Chinese, and avail
themselves of every favorable opportunity
to scalp them. Their only reason for their
inplacable animosty to the Celestals, is that
their eyes are located in the wrong place!

State Prison Affairs.

Governor Weller and Colonel Forman
visited the State Prison few days since, and
the former returned to this city yesterday
morning; the latter remaining behind to at
tend the trial of the suit against the State
authorities for an alleged trespass upon GER
tain land at San Quentin. The trial was to
come off yesterday, on motion made to
dissolve the injunction, the answer having
been previously put in in behalf of the State.
We understand that affairs at the Prison
continue to be in healthy condition, and
that good order prevails throughout the in
stitution. The building of brick and stone,
which at last accounts was in process of
erection, has been completed, and is really a
permanent and handsome edifce. 1t is forty
feet by thirty, of two stories, and will be used
as store-house for meats grain, and other
articles. AS we have previously mentioned,
at the ordinary prices Of labor in this city or
San Francisco, it would have cost some
$4,000; but, aside from the labor and pro
visioning of the prisoners, it will not COS: the
State hardly $1,000. Some 100000 brick
had been burned by the prisoners, and a
large amount of stone had been quarried.
Formerly, great complaint was wont to be
made to the State officers by the prisoners
concerning the guam and quality of the
food provided for them, and also in relation
to their clothing, but recently these causes
of dissatisfaction have been pretty etfectualy
removed. Sac. Union.
The great change that has taken place for
the better, in the affairs of the State Prison,
is attributed to the legislation Of tie Demo
cratic Legislature of last winter, who placed
the institution in charge of honest and capa-
bic managers. Since the adjournment of
the Legislature the Prison has been under
the immediate control of Lieut. Governor
Walkup, who has devoted his entire time in
securing system, efficiency and economy in
the administration of its affairs. San Quen-
tin, under his management, has ceased to be
a swindle upon the State Treasury.

nights that the water is chillel in such man
