LATER FROM CARSON VALLEY.-A dispatch TO
the Sacramento Union, dated at Placerville, Ju-
ly 3Oth, says that Henry Monk, one of the en-
ployees, of the overland mail company, arrived
that day from the crossing of the Humboldt,
where he had gone with the mail. From him
il was learned that there was continuous line
Of stations, at . distance Of twenty-five miles
from each other extending more than half the
distance between Placerville and Salt Lake.
A well is being dug in the centre Of the forty
milo desert, and men are engaged in erecting
q station twenty-six miles beyond. The COM
pany Of refugee Mormons had arrived at Eagle
Valley. They had q grand jollifcation on the
Humboldt at their escape from Brigham Young
They number about 1900, composed mostly Of
foreigners, large majority being Welsh. They
were undecided where to locate. Several had
hired out at the stations, but the larger portion
were camped at Eagle Valley.

Tho Democratic State Convention meets at
Sacramento to-day. It would be Idle at pres
ent to speculate on the action Of the Conven-
tion, or attempt to foreshadow the result. The
impression very generally prevails that two
Conventions will be hsld--that one will endorse
the Kansas policy Of the Administration, and
that the other will endorse the Cincinnati Plat
form and those Democrats In Congress who vo-
ted to sustain IL. The whole number Of dele
gates entitled to seats In the Convention is
324, but some eight or ten of the principal
counties have elected double delegations, and
the defeated wings In other counties have re-
GENTLY been holding meetings and electiug del
egatss to take part in the proceedings Of one
or the other Convention, in case split should
occur. Probably not less than 500 delegates
will present themselves at Sacramento and
claim seats in the Convention. The bitterness
which has been engendered in the primary con-
tests and County Conventions, will be exhibited
in more marked degree when the delegates
meet at Sacramento, and two weeks time would
scarcely sunice to settle the conflicting claims
Of the several contested delegations.

SAD AccIDENT.-About midnight of Tuesday
last q serious accident occurred in the tunnel
of the Arnold claims, on Manzanita Hill. Two
exploded, very seriously injurng one of them,
a German named Augustus STAN. Mr.. STAINS
left hand was cut entirely off, requiring ampu-
tation above the wrist. The right arm was be-
reft of all its heshy part below the elbow, and
the large bone was nearly severed in two. The
physicians will attempt to save the arm. One
eye is gone and the other considerably injured.
His companion was not much injured. The
case was attended by Doctor Eiehelroth Of Sc

"Thc term Mudsip is derived from Senator Hammond
of South Carolina That gentleman used II TO denote the
laboring casaesthe bone and snew 1.-The strong and solid
foundaton which the body polite rested. S. r. Globe.
Had Senator Hammond used the term "mud-
sill' in the'sen indicated by the custom house
organ of San Francisco, the expression could
not have been regarded as offensive when ap-
piled to laborng men. The term was applied
by Hammond to working men Of the North,
who were rated on par with Southern slaves,
having but slow order of intellect" and only
ct "to do the menial duties, and perform the
drudgery of life." That the epithet was applied
indiscriminately to oil persons engaged in man
ual labor is evident from the fact that he stated
they constituted majority Of the people, who
were only restrained from becoming agrarians
because they were ignorant of the tremendous
secret that the ballot-bOx is stronger than an
army"
The Democratic party has always been re-
garded as the party Of the people; but when
such double-dstilled Arristoorats ~ Hammond
6nd their way into it, VIC must conclude that
either be or the people have got into the wrong
box. Hammond is one Of those men who believe
1t to be the highest duty of government to take
care of the rich, and the duty Of the rich to take
care of the poor, the true Democrat believes in
the policy Of giving the poor an opportunity to
take care of themselves.
1t is worthy of remark that the leading lie,
compton papers of this State, and Of the country
generally, have endorsed Hammond's speech al
coed LecOmpton Democracy.

Your committee recommend,

Party.
I'd. In view of the fact that the several town
ships of the county are not fully represented,
and a. the object for which the delegates have
assembled, has not generally been made known
throughout the county,
Your committee recommend that call be
issued by this Convention for the election of
delegates in the respective precincts of the
several townships of the county to meet in Con-
venton on Saturday the l4th day Of August
1858, at Nevada City, for the purpose Of nomi-
mating an Independent Ticket.

ELECTION OF DISTRICT JUDGEs.-It is stated on
the authority Of the Secretary Of State, that
Gov. Weller, in his election proclamation, will
srder an election for District Judges in all the
Judicial Districts Of the State. The authority
for this order is found in an act Of the Legsla-
ture passed in 1854, requiring that the District
Judges be elected in 1858, in all the Districts,
and every six years thereafter. The Constitu-
tiOn Of the State, however, prescribes that Dis
trist Judges shall hold their Offices for the term
Of six years. and as Judge Searls has held his
Office only three years, there is no probability
that he can be ousted until 1861, when his full
term will expire. The Judges in most Of the
Districts are reelected this year, and the order
for the election in the other districts will be
made for the purpose Of having the question
tested. Judge Scarls, since his election, has
made popular Judge, and given very general
satisfaction throughout the district. and it is
not likely that any candidate will berun against
him.

When the Republican Convention was held

Broderick, and other Democrats, against the

The Republican vote in this county at the
last election was less than nine hundred, and
the utter hopelesness of elee:ing ticket, we

that the assumption to the right of search by
England, in time of peace, had been abandoned

taken up with reading matter. There is not a
line of editorial in the paper, and no local in.
telligencc except what is contained in the adj

subjects. The first and longest article seems
to be letter written from Londen, comment
ing on the affairs of the continent, and the re-
lations of gland towards other European pow
ers the next is from correspondent on agri-
culture, and the other is an article taken from
the supplement to the New York Gazette, :"

count Of his religious opinions The conduct
crs of that sheet probably have q vivid reeollec-
ton of the success which, for the time being, at
tended The anti-Catholic crusade Of the Know
Nothings, and now hope to be enabled to re-
enact the same play. by changing the name, so
as to deceive the public as to the true eharae-
ter of the performance. This attempt to gain
O temporary success by exciting the Prejudices
Of the religious community, is q contemplate
Offshoot of Know Nothingism, and deserves to
be reprObated by every Democrat Of the land.
We do not know what Mr.. Belden's religious
opinions are, and shall never take the trouble
to inquire. His high moral character, acknowl-
edged legal attainmeuts, and sound Democracy,
are the qualifications which procured him the
nomination by the Democratic Convention, and
will recommend him to the voters Of the county.

party has resolutely opposed prescription in
