The steamer Illinois arrived Sunday evening
at New York with 81 100000 in treasure and
intelligence from California to the 9Th inst. We
learn by this arrival that an injunction has been
issued resh aiming the New Almaden Quicksilv-
er Mining Company from working the mine or
selling the quicksilver taken frop it until furth-
er orders. 1t is claimed that the title to this
mine, which is perhaps the richest in the world,
was obtained by fraud, and that the mine be-
longs to the United States. 1t is estimated to
be worth fifty millions.
Mining operations had been suspended in
consequence of the swollen condition of the prin-
oipal streams caused by recent heavy rains. A
very rich quartz lead has lately been discovered
in Toulumne County.
Among the passengers by the Illinois, are
Senior Mills, Minister from Guatemala to Wash
ington, and Capt. Cayendy of the steamer Her.

graphs -
"Thc presidents message vii take such bold
and vigorous ground with reference to our Mex
lean relations as to throw upon Congress the
responsibility Of further continuance of their
present condition. 1t is to be hoped that Mr..
Buchanan will not fail to express the sympathy
which himself and the country feels for the ill.,
erals in emphatic terms. II this slight amount
of moral force may have the effect, us supposed,
OF turning the scale in behalf OF Juarcz ard
his party, and so Of ending the pr esent struggle,
surely it should not be withheld"

1t is supposed by many that the Senate will
elect an entire new set Of officers this winter,
from secretary down, and the city accordingly

organization has been agilated every year for

desire it think that the vacancy made by the
death of the late door-keeper, opens the way
for general sweep.

THANKSGIVING occurred Oh Thursday If this
week, as most of our readers have found out be-
fore now. If any unfortunate soul did not get
in opportunity to pick Turkey bones solely
through our neglect to publish the Goyornor's
proclamation for Thanksgiving, to him owe a
very 'umble apology.
No official copy Of the proclamation mas as
yet been received at this Office The number
of Walton's Daily containing copy was mis-
laid during our absence, and our weekly ex-
changes containing the same did not come TO
hand in season foran insertion of the document
il our last issue. For these reasons the proc
lamation did NOT appear in season. But. as an
o iset, we apaounced, last week, the date NSed
upon tor Thanksgiving Furthermore, If our
subscribers attended church last Sunday they
all mad an opportunity OF hearing the procla-
nation at length.

The distinguished English chemist, Mr. Here
path, has taken advantage of his trip to South
America to collect and examine fire-hies. in or
der to get at the secret of their luminosity
The commonly received opinion in regard to
the source of light emitted by insects is that it
is due to the slow combustion of phosphorus,
resembling that produced by gently rubbing
match with the fingers. Nlr Herepath denies
this, however, as he was able, on the application
of the most delicate tests, to detect not the
smallest trace Of phosphorus in the bodies of
these curious little creatures. His opinion is
that the light is caused by the burning Of pc
culiar compound of carbon and HYDROGEN. in a
special gland exposed to view.

QuERY.-Can the PhgRir show where n VIC are in
consistent in saying, when 1t wa, supposed the whole
Democratic ticket was elected, ain llir0s We have
elected all OF our State ticket Y'B,dors FdHs Argus
Yes. Ever since the first speech Of Senator
Douglas on the Lecompton Constitution, in the
United States Senate, last winter the Argus
has supported the Adpinstr tiou in all It's OPP
position to Mr.. Douglas. At the recent cleo
ton in Illinois, the ticket supported by the adj
mnistration and the Argus poled from 2j00 to
5000 votes, more or less. 1t was against the
strongest and most persistent efforts of the adj
ministruton and the Argts that Mr.. Douglas
succeeded in carrying the Legislature and, as
was at the time believed, the State. Under
these circumstances it does strike us as rather
impudent, and Inconsistent even, for the llgiS
to cxclam in its juhilation I'VE have elected all
of our State ticket and five members of Con
gress," more particularly when the very party
with which the same ",re" acts did not come
within gun-shot of olecting even so much a

The attention of our village readers is called
to the meeting of the Village Corporation on
Monday evening next. This meeting will be
one Of more than usual importance, inasmuch
as the acceptance or rejection of the new act of
incorporation will be determined. We trust
that every voter has studied well the provisions
of this act, and that he will be prepared to give
an intelligent vote thereon.
To the end that all may have a sufficient OPP
portunty for becoming conversant with that en-
actmcnt and may also in case it is accepted
matter of which there can be no reasonable
doubt-haye a copy for preservation, we give it
another insertion in this weeks imprint Read
