LFTTERs FRoM SAN JUAN ISLAND.
Correspondence Of the Puget Sound Herald

Correspondence Of the Puget Sound Herald.
SAN JUAN ISLAND, Aug. 14th, 80.
The steamer Julia is about leaving, and, re-
mcmbering your request at parting on the wharf
Of Steiacoom, l send you few hasty lines We
are all comfortably encamped, in peace and qui'
etness, and see no cause for anticipating trouble.
The excitement, however, has been very great
and with reason; for Gov. Douglas, in his pro-
clamatiOn or message, expressly dec Jared that
the marines would be landed on the island II
was supposed, and very naturally, that Captain
Pickett would scarcely venture to oppose r' CT
GTzaG their landing, supported BY the presence
Of feet, counting say 200 guns and 2oOo men,
Our Victoria neighbors have had some samples
Of the strange recklessness and disregard OF con-
sequences shown so frequently by Americans
when stirred by excitement; but it was hardly
to be presumed that an army officer would attempt
to carry out an order scarcely practicable with
ten times his force. Nevertheless, IN spite oi
parleying, representations and circumstances,
the Captain showed SO unmistakably his inten-
lions in that respect that Gov. Douglas has it

this post on Saturday and Sunday last, from
Vancouver; Lieut. Hodges, Of The l4th Infantry,
in command, and Lisuts Ihrie, Kellogg and Dan

bered about $50 men. e. ,...
They embarked on board The steamer Julia at
an early hour on Wednesday morning, and landed
on San Juan island in the evening cf the same
day. There are now eight companies on the
Island, numbering in al some 400 men. 4
We fundamentally omitted 10 mention the do
parture Of Lieut. shhal, with detachment Of
twenty mon, several weeks since, for semiahmoo.
Lieut. Reynolds was also detached for the same
plaee, some weeksago, bntwe saw his name men,

NEVADA, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 2s, 1859

THE BuIKHRLD-The Committee appointed
BY the Assembly to proceed to San Francisco
and inquire into the necessity Of the immediate
construction Of q bulkhead or seawall, submit
TED their reports on Friday last. Four of the
committee report in favor of the immediate
commencement of the work. and the other men,
Der reports adversely TO the measure. The OBJ
ject of the Assembly in sending the committee
20 San Francisco, was to ascertain definitely.
whether further delay in constructing bulk
head was likely to permanently injure the har-
bor but the evidence taken before the COM
mistee, and their reports, have left the matter
In rs much doubt as ever. Gov. Weller, in his
annual message, said he would not sanction any
measure for the construction ofa bulkhead, un-
iii q thorough survey Of the barber should be
made BY skillful and disinterested engineers.
As no such survey has been made, and there
being good reason to fear that all the various
projects for the construction Of this work may
materially iDjure, If not ruin, the harbor, there
% no doubt that Gov. Weller will veto any bill
for this purpose that may pass the present Leg
islature.

THK SUFFER- GRANTs.-The q. s. Supreme
Court have confirmed the eleven league grant,
executed by Gov. Alvarado to Capt. Sutter in
lS4l. This grant includes the city Of Sacra-
mento, and will settle the title 80 far as pro-
perty there is concerned. The Sutter claim for
twenty two leagues, which includes the land
upon which Marysville is located, has been sent
back to the U. S. District Court for further pro-
ceedings. This latter grant was executed to
Sutter by Gov. Micheltorena, in February 1s45,
and it seems there was no evidence before the
Court to show that Micheltorena was legal
Governor of California at that time, which is
said to be the reason it was not confirmed.

A FAITHFUL OFFICER.-Mr. j. NJ. Eckfeldt.
who has held the position of Coiner in the
Branch Mint at San Francisco, for the past Eve
years, has recently been removed to make way
for r. W. Slocumb. The S. F. Herald, in allu.
ding to the removal, says:
California has been blessed with so many IN.
faithful public servants that it may, perhaps,
be interesting to the miners, bankers and bul.
lion dealers OF California to know how faithful
Eckfeldt has discharged his duties. 1t appears
that he has, during his connection with the
Mint, operated upon $l64, ,0OO,O 900 of bullion,
upon which his limit of loss by law would
amount to $246, ,622 of which, however, be has
only lost $l3,7S8. Independently of this, how
ever, we understand that Eckfeldt has made
several important improvements in the Hint
machinery, and, being highly scientific me-
Charlie and an accomplished raughtsman, he
has saved thousands of dollars to the Govern
ment outside of his own department.

RETURN OF THE UNCLE SAM-The steamship
Uncle Sam, which left San Francisco Feb. 10th.
under charter Of the government, to convey
troops and munitions to the Colorado, returned
to San Francisco on the 10th inst, having been
absent a month. She arrived at San Diego on
the 18th ult., where she landed two hundred
mules, intended to make the journey overland
to the Colorado. She then continued on the
trip, and arrived at the mouth of the Colorado
on the 26th, where the troops and stores were
landed, and from thence the troops were to
proceed to the Mohave country.

KANsAs.-The Legislature arkansas adjourn
ed Feb. 11th. Among the most important acts
passed, were general amnesty act for all Of
fenses growing out of political differences an
act repeating all the laws made by the "bor-
der rufian" Legislatures an act calling con-
stitutional convention, and an act prohibiting
slavery in the Territory. These bills were all
signed by the Governor except one. The bill
prohibiting slavery was presented to the Gov
ernor within ten days of the adjournment, and
being neither signed nor vetoed, it cannot be-
come law until the meeting of the next Leg
islature. The bill calling constitutional con-
vention having become law, will insure an
other Kansas constitution which will without
doubt be ready for presentation at the opening
Of next Congress. In all probability, Kansas
will be admitted as State before tho close Of
the next session Of Congress.

LORD CAMpBELL AS AN ILLUSTRATOR OF SHAKES
PEARE.-A new illustrator of Shakespeare has
entered the field in the person of the Lord
Chief Justice of the Queens Bench, Lord Camp
bell. During the recent vacation in Scotland
he turned his attention again to our great dra-
matte poet; and reading over his plays consecu-
lively, he was struck by the vast number of
legal phrases and illusions they contain, and
by the extreme appropriateness and accuracy
Of their application. He began noting and re-
marking upon them, giving them such explana.
tions and calculations as his vast experience
and knowledge Of the law enabled him readily
to furnish. He has since put them into
more regular order, and is printing them
in the shape of familiar letter to Mr.. Payne
Collier, who in his recent biography of Shakes
peare states that there are more indications in
Shakespeare that he had in some way, early in
life, been connected with the legal profession
than are to be met with in oil the works of Co
temporary dramatists put together.

A FAMILY SUFFoUArED-A terrible calamity
occurred at Brooklyn, N. Y, on the morning
Of February 18th, at the house of Edward Gill.
Between 3 and 4 o'clock the house was discov-
cred to be on fire, and so suddenly had it bro
ken out that only portion of the inmates
were enabled to escape. Thomas Gill, board
er BY the name of Otto Graves, and Honora
Keegan, q servant, all jumped from the win
dows, the latter from the fourth story, and were
all more or less injured; but the mother, Mrs.
Gill, with her two little girls, and another SER
want, Ann keegan. were suffocated by the heat
and smoke. The fire was extinguished. and the
bodies Of the sufferers were found heaped to-
gether near the window. They might have
been saved, had there been any ladders on the
spot in time. Edward Gill, the husband and
father Of the family, was absent from home at
the time this swift destruction fell upon bis
household. a- l1

REMOVAL OF THE CAPITAL.--An effort is again
being made to remove the State capital from
Sacramento to Oakland A committee was ap-
pointed by the Assembly last week, to proceed
to Oakland, and examine the advantages Of
that place as the future seat Of government.
The resolution appointing the committee was
adopted by large majority of the Assembly,
and we notice that Messrs. Armstrong and
Catalan of this county voted for it. There is
said to be no serious intention on the part Of
the Assembly to remove the capital, and the
resolution was adopted merely to give num-
ber Of Assemblymen an opportunity to travel
round a few days at the expense of the State.
This annual agitation of the location Of the
capital, in the Legislature, is worse than USE
less. Sacramento is the most convenient point
for the scat of government, and there it will
remain as long as the wishes Of the people OF
the whole State are regarded by their repre-
sentatives h.

GOLD AT A DIscoUNT.-A Honolulu paper
gathered from the statement of Captain Tabor.
Of the whaleship Adaline, who arrived at the
port Of Hokadadi last year. By this narrative
we are told that in Japan silver coin is held at
much greater value than gold. This is caus-
ed, not from an over-abundance of gold, but by
the law regulating the currency. OF gold
coins there are three, worth respectively, 1Scts.
80 cts, and 12S cts. The value of the 80 ct.
piece, according TO our standard, would be
about 50 so. If this statement is correct, it
will not be long before some enterprising Yam
kee will make shipment of silver bars to that
country to exchange for the gold coins.
The Nevada Democrat., 1859-03-23

The PRESIDENTIAL MANIA.-The Washington
correspondent of the New York Commercial Ad-
vertiser joyfully points out the fact that one
Senator is ineligible to the Presidency, and that
ia Mr.. Benjamin, who was not born in the Uni
ted States All the rest, the correspondent ap-
pears to think, are determined to avail them
selves of the possibilities of their birthright.
Among the names more recently mentioned in
connection with the Presidency are. Gen. Lane
Of Oregon, Senator TOombs and Mr.. Stephens
Of Georgia, and Gov. Seymour Of New York,
on the Democratic side; while among the Re-
pubicans, in addition to well known names of
honorable MENTION" Gen. Cameron and Sena-
tor Fessenden are talked of. But the Cuba de-
bates are expected to still further enlarge aud
revise the lists in both parties. 1t is not bad
amusement to those that like it, provided it
does not interfere with the transaction Of the
public business. As to that question, much
doubtless can be said on both sides but we fear
that the arguments would not be equally bal
anced.
