CoLD Manufacturing the past week the
weather has been unusually cold In this sec.
tion-colder, we believe, than has before been
experienced since the winter Of 1874. A cold
northerly wind commenced blowing on We'd
nesday night, which continued two days, and
About ten inches of snow fell on Saturday and
Sunday nights. The bitches throughout the
county are frozen up, and mining operations
have been mostly suspended for the present
We learn that the snow is much deeper in the
mountains above than at this place. At day
light yesterday morning, we should judge the
thermometer stood below zero, but the sun
came out in the morning and much Of the snow
was melted during the day.

NEVADA, WEDNESDAY, DEC. 8, 1858.

ATTEMPTED RoBBERr.-The cabin Of Charles
Manning, who lives at Woods Ravine, was bro
ken open last Wednesday, while he was absent
ia town, ,.for the purpose of robbery. The bur-
glar had pulled the clothes off bed, and evil
tently examined them carefully; he had also
exerted his muscles considerably in turning
over large stone and digging up the ground
around the fireplace, but luckily ne FOUND
nothing of value, although he had dug very
near some specimens which were worth about
$3.50. Mr.. Manning lost $1,000 by the failure
of Adams & Co., which was deposited with that
firm, and few months after had $500 stolen
which was buried about hundred yards from
his cabin. He is supposed to have censidera-
BILE quantity Of money, but since his losses, ne
keeps it where thieves will not be likely to
find it.

express the Presidents message through from
st. Louis to California in the shortest possible
time. The Butterfield Co. have signi6ed thei"
intention of bringing it through in twelve days
and the contractors on the central route in fit.

"LAws OF BUSINESS FOR BUSINESS MEN."-We
have received from Messrs. II. II. Bancroft 4
Co., of San Francisco, q copy of the above en-
titled work, by Theophlus Parsons, Professor
Of law in the University at Cambridge. 1t il

and most comprehensive treatise on the law OF
contracts, that has ever yet been presented in
the english language. Being designed more
particularly for the use Of business men, it is
free from thu usual technicalities of the law
books, and should be studied by every man de-
srous of becoming familiar with the laws ap-
pertaining to his own business The work is

EXECUTION OF AN INDIAN.-AA Indian named
Loo You, convicted of numbering Chinaman
in Amador county, was executed at jackson
last Friday He acknowledged that he had
murdered the Chinaman, and stated that he was
instigated to commit the crime by the Indian
who testified against him, who agreed to take
the Chinaman's horse, sell him and divide the
money. He complained that he had been bad
ly treated by the Indians, who did not assist
him during his trial, had not visited him, and
were not present to see him die. The execu-
ton was private, with the exception of two or
three of the prisoners friends, the Sheriff's
posse, and few citizens, in all twenty-six per-

TK. Triumph OF Douglas.

| The reported success of Douglas, received by
tBe overland mail, and published in our last is
sue, has been fully confirmed by the advices re-
ceived by the mail steamer. In the Legisla-
ture, the friends Of Douglas have majority OF
five in each House, although the Democratic
State ticket is defeated by from two to three
thousand votes. The triumph of the Illinois
Statesman, considering the terrible odds against
which he had to contend, is certainly the most
brilliant ever achieved in the political warfare
of this country, and the rebuke which the stur-
dy Democracy of the Sucker State have given
the Administration, is the most Illuminating. II
is not alone great triumph for Douglas, per-
sonally. but It is triumph of the true Demo
cratic doctrine go ably advocated by him dur
ing the last session of Congress. His success is
a noble vindicatien of the independence of the
Senate from Executive dictation. II is also q
matter of congratulation that the gallant band
of Representatives who stood together in vim
dication of the sovereignty Of the people have
been sustained by their constituencies. Haskin
and Clark of New York, Adrian of New Jersey
Hickman and Montgomery Of Pennsylvania,
Davis Of Indiana, and Harris and Morris Of Ill
inois, have been reelected by the people to the
seats which they now occupy. Federal patron
age which was used with la wish hand against
them, was powerless to accomplish their defeat

SUDDEN DEATH.-A man named John Givney,
died suddenly at the hospital last Saturday Of
consumption. He has resided at Nevada for
some months past, and generally worked about
the hotels and restaurants. For day or two
previous to his death he had taken his meals at
the Antelope Restaurant. After eating bis din
Aer on Saturday, he became so weak that he
was not able to leave, and was conveyed to the
hospital, where he died in about an hour. lie
Had been suffering with consumption for some
time, and was scarcely able to walk when he
entered the restaurant We are Informed that
he has q family in San Francisco.

THE INDIAN SKELEToN.-On our first page
will be found q paragraph from the Trinity
Journal, giving description Of a remarkable
specimen of humanity recently discovered
among the Indian tribes of the North. The
Humboldt Tines has the following in regard to
the same "living skeleton
We are informed by Gen. Kbbe that he has
among his prisoners an Indian which is the
most remarkable curiosity he has ever observ-
ed among the freaks of nature. He is from
sixteen to twenty years of age, and is nothing
more nor less than living skeleton. The In
dans say he has always enjoyed good health,
and has never had any flesh on his bones. The
General says an Indians hide stretched over a
skeleton would be perfect picture of this nat
ural curiosity.

MEETING AT SAN JosE.--A meeting of the cit
izens of Santa Clara county was held at San
Jose, on Thursday last, for the purpose of ex-
pressing the popular feeling, in reference to
the action Of the government agent in enjoining
operations upon the quicksilver mine. A series
of appropriate resolutions were adopted, and
the authorities at Washington were requested
to order the injunction granted by the U. s.
District Court to be removed, and that the COM
pany now in possession be permitted to pursue
their accustomed operations until the final de-
termination Of the proceedings at law investi-
eating the title and right of property. The
suspension of operations on the mine has thrown
several hundred laborers out of employment,
and severely crippled the industrial energy Of
the county. The resolutions speak very highly
of the lberality Of the company who have fol
twelve years been working the mine.

AccIDENT.-James Brown, o workman at Til
ley's mill, was seriously injured on Saturday
last. A track had been constructed for con-
veying grain to the mill from the granary,
which is some fifteen feet above the ground.
At the end Of The track blocks were fixed to
stop the car. While carrying a load of wheat
to the MILL Brown was riding on the car, and
neglecting to check it in time, the wheels struck
the block at the end of the track with sucl
force as TO throw the car from the track
Brown struck on his shoulders. dislocating one
of the bones and he was otherwise badly bruis-

LYNcIIINd AT CoLUMBA.-A man named Par
rott, was hanged by the people of Columbia, on
Thursday, on charge of shooting Constable
Leary of that place. During the water celcbra
tion on the Monday evening previous, Leary
attempted to arrest two suspicious characters,
named Wallace and PARROT, when one of them
drew pistol and shot him dead. This was
while the wife and daughter of the murdered
man were dancing at q ball. Some person
rushed into the ball room and loudly announced
the murder, when the daughter tainted and fell
on the floor. The ball Immediately broke up,
and the whole population turned out in pursuit
of the murderers. Wallace was wounded in the
thigh by q shot from pistol, and arrested that
evening, and Parrott was taken shortly after.
1t seems that Wallace acknowledged himself to
be robber and stated that Parrot shot Leary,
and upon this testimony, the latter was taken
from the authorities and hung by the people.
Wallace was returned to Jail, and three more of
the same gang have been arrested.

DEMOCRATIC PAPER AT SACRAMENTo.-Messr
A. r. Jackson Il Co. have issued prospectus
for the publication of an anti-Lecompton Dem
ocratiC paper at Sacramento. The first num-
Der will be issued as soon as proper encourage
ment is received to warrant the undertaking,
and the proprietors assure their friends that il
they commence the paper, its permanenCy will
be put beyond peradventure. 1t will be the
size of the Union. We trust the proprietors
may be successful in their undertaking.

THE News BY THE STEPHENs.--We published
an Extra" last Thursday morning, containing
the news received by the J. L. Stephens, in
which some important mistakes occurred. It
was stated in the dispatch that New Jersey had
gone largely Democratic, and that the Repub-
licans of Illinois had elected their candidates in
eight Congressional districts, which statements
are incorrect. In New Jersey, three Republi-
cans and two anti-Lecompton Democrats are
elected to Congress. and in Illinois the Demo-
Gratis have elected five Congressman and the
Republicans four. The dispatch was made up
at San Francisco, and the mistakes occurred in
telegraphing We have made the necessary
corrections in the news as published on our first
page. The intelligence in regard to the work
ing of the Atlantic Cable, had been received at
New York some ten days previous to the sail
ing of 1.-The mail steamer. In regard to this
matter the New York. Herald says:
"a despatch received in London from Valen-
tia Bay, dated goth ult., states that q few intel
| ligible words had been received through the
Atlantic telegraph cable from Newfoundland.
The shares had, in consequence, advanced
slightly. The Secretary of the company, in
announcing the resumption of communication
between the two continents, holds out no hopes
that ii will be permanent. as it is evident the
wire is seriously damaged"
AS no ineligible words had been received
through the cable since the goth of October, the
stock of the company had again declined.

.gzs~ On the fourth page of our last issue, u
par agraph was published entitled an English
view OF President Buchanan at the wash basin,'
credited to a London paper. We had some
weeks previously, published an American view
of the same scene, as contrasted with some
scenes said to have occurred at the court Of
Berlin, designed to show the simplicity Of re-
publcanism and the pueriities of royalty. The
articles are very readable, if not instructive
The Grass Valley National, of Saturday last, pa
rades the English view" in its editorial col
umns, and takes it for granted that the disgust
of the Englishman at the idea of the President
washing his face in dirty basin, receives our
sympathy. We can inform our sensitive neigh
Dor, that he is altogether mistaken. Had the
President washed his face in duck pond, and
wiped it with his coat sleeve. it would have
been matter of indifference to US.

COUNTY HosPITAL.--A writer 10 the San Juan
Press, contends that the people of the Ridge
receive but little benefit from the INDECENT sick
tax which is levied and collected equally in all
parts of the county. This is in consequence of
there being but one place in tine county where
the INDECENT sick can be taken care of. He
suggests as mode of relief, that the county be
divided into two or more "indigent sick dis
tricts," and that the care of the INDECENT sick
be provided for in the different districts as at
present

IMPORTANT FROM MExIco.-The Tehuantepec

that two thousand Spanish troops had been land

designed to operate in conjunction with the

THE SURVIVORS OF THE WILD WAvE.-Some
months ago, news was received of the wreck of
the clipper ship Wild Wave, on the 4th of March
last. on the Island of Oneo, in the South Pacific,
some thirty odd men being left on that small
uninhabited Island. The survivors were all
saved by by the U. S. ship Vandala, which ar
rived at San Francisco on Friday. On the 22d
Aug, she took off thirty-threc persons from
Oneo, and on the 25th took off three from Pit
cairns Island-these three having crossed over
to that Island with the captain.

CRUELrY AT SEA.-E. Fay and Thos. Duffy,
employed as engineers on the steamship Golden
Gate, were arrested in San Francisco, Dec. Sd,
and brought up for examination before United
States Commissioner McAllister, on the COM
plant of James Rockford, for tying up COM
plainant by the hands so as to allow his toes
barely to touch the deck-the wrists bearing
the whole weight of the body. The Commits
sioner committed the accused to prison, and
fixed the bail at $500.

A HARD CAsE.-It is said that the steamer
Washington, which left New York Nov. 7tb.
bound for San Juan del Norte. in Nicaragua.
had some four hundred passengers on board,
all of whom expected to meet the Hermann at
San Juan del Sur, and by this vessel come to
San Francisco, being ticketed through from
New York by the agents of the California, Eu-
ropean and New York Steamship Company
The prospect is they will be obliged to remain
there unless taken off by some United States
vessel.
