STABBNa AFFRAY.-A serious stabbing affray
occurred at Sacramento, on Friday last. Mr.
Harvey Lee, Reporter of the Supreme Cou rt
and Chas. S. Fairfax, Clerk Of the Court, had
some words about the refusal of the Clerk ia
allow the Reporter to take the decisions and
papers from the office. Fairfax called Lee g
''liar" and slapped him in the face. Lee i'm
mediately drew dirk from his cane and stabb
ed Fairfax twice-in the back, in the region Of
the kidneys, and in the breast, between the
nipples-inficting dangerous wounds Lee wa;
Immediately arrested, and the next day was ex-
amined and admitted to bail in the sum o!
$4,000. 1t is thought Fairfax will recover.

RrCH QUARTz.-Mr Shores, Of Scott Valley,
showed us a beautiful specimen of surifeous
quartz which he took from his claim, during
the past week, weighing GA OF. gross weight.
The gold seems to predominate, and it is esti-
mated that the specim en- will yield about eight
hundred dollars, pure gold. The vein from
which this rock is taken, is perhaps as rich as
any yet found in the State; as with yet imper-
feet machinery. it has never fallen below an
average of 500 to the ton. Prospects ahead,
are such as to warrant still more profitable
yield for years to come. The entire expense OF
building a mill and working the vein has thus
far, been more than betrayed by specimens tax
en- out, from time to time, and simply crushed
in mortar. The specimen above alluded to.
was much larger when originally taken from
the claim, but has been broken, and over 500
extracted from it, making total estimate Of

THE PARAGUAY ExprDrnoS.-Ad dispatch from

The PARAGUAY ExPEDrTION.-Ad dispatch from
New York. dated Feb. 2Sth, says:
The bark Antagonist, which arrived here last
evening from Buenos Ayres, furnishes dates to
January 4th. Commissioner Bowen aud the
Commander of the squadron had gone to have
an interview with Lopez, with the United States
briggs Dolphin and Perry, which will be taken IN
tow, at Forks River, by the steamers Fulton
aud Waterwitch. The rest of the feet was 81
Monte Video.
The general opinion was, that the United
States squadron is inadequate because only q
few vessels are capable Of ascending the river.
A Paraguayan steamer had gone up the river
with chain to place across it, and impede the
progress of the United States vessels. A French
and an English steamer had also gone mp the
river It was supposed the mission OF the latter
was to demand indemnity in the case Of the
British schooner recently seized by Lopez. II
was said Lopez had ten thousand men under
arms.
The preparations for war were proceeding al
a rapid pace; and the official organ Of the Die
tator whose leaders are said to be written by
Lopez himself is unsparing in its denunciationi
of the American Government.

LEoONPToN TACrICs.-In the Sacramento
Standard, of Monday, is published paragraph,
purporting to be taken from the NEVADA DEM
ocRAr. The paragraph is accompanied by some
egotstical remarks Of the editor Of the Stand
ard pardonable, perhaps, in new beginner;
but little more experience will doubtless ma
terially curtail the exalted opinion which the
editor of that "whsle among the sardnes" has
Of himself. The only noticeable feature of the
quoted paragraph, is q miserable attempt to
manufacture pun out of the name Of the edi-
tor of the Standard a species Of wit which we
never attempted. The paragraph never ap-
peared in the DEMoCRAT; whether it was manu-
factured in the Standard Office, or taken from
some other paper and credited to US, we cannot
say; we do not remember Of having seen 1t in
any other paper. This attributing Of senti-
meats to Democratic papers, which they never
uttered, is system Of tactics peculiar to the
Lecompton press Of this State, and they seem
to regard it as most effective means to hum
bug the people. The Standard is merely follow
ing in the wake of its more disreputable parti-
san contemporaries.

TYPoGRArHICAL ERRORS, BRAINS, &C.-When
the Journal attempted to make capital on what
it termed "silly announcement" that appear
ed in our last issue but one, we frankly admit
ted the error, but could not help calling atten-
tion to errors equally as 'sily' which weekly
mako their appearance in that sheet. The
Journal says that the announcement in the DEM
ocRAT was q matter of talk and wonder; that
people ran to their lawyers to find out if it was
correct &c. This, we doubt not, is all true.
Errors Of the kind so seldom appear in the
DEMOCRAT, that the people supposed it to be cor
rect-hence the excitement. Had the same
statement appeared in the Journal, it would
have been classed as one Of its usual blundcrs
and passed unnoticedj paper so notorously
reckless of truth could scarcely make state
ment that would excite surprise among its read
ers. Only few weeks ago, in speaking Of the
Griffin matter, the Journal said it didn't care
whether it told the truth or not; after making
such statement, how can its readers place
any reliance in any thing it says upon any sub
ject? The Journal now endeavors to excuse its
own errors on the ground that some of its ex-
changes have made equally as foolish blunders.
We might have made the same excuse in regard
to the "silly announcement which appeared
in the DEMOCRAT, and probably should have
done 50, had we not thought it more manly to
acknowledge the error, and take the conse-
quences. The excuse, however, is valid one
for the Journal and shows that its editor has COM
menced relying on the brains Of others; an i'm
provement in that sheet may therefore be look.

A WRONG VRRDIcr.-The negro Moses Tate,
indicted for the murder of Billman, at San
Francisco, was tried last week, and convicted
Of murder in the second degree. This verdict
has been handled rather severely by number
of the San Francisco papers. Tho killing Of
Bllman was evidently cold-blooded, deliber.
rate murder, but it seems there was some doubt
As to whether Tate was really the murderer,
and compromise verdict was accordingly
agreed upon. If Tate was guilty at all, he
was guilty Of murder in tho first degree and
il any of the jurors had doubts as to his guilt,
they never should have agreed to convict him
of the lighter offense.

rh. Acnnisi,ion of Cuba.

The intelligence from ST. Louis to March Sd,
brings no account Of the passage of any bill by
Congress, for the acquisition of Cuba. Had
any bill OF the kind passed previous TO the Sd.
the fact would have been telegraVhcd to st.
Louis, and as Congress adjourned on that day,
It is quite certain that the late Congress took
no action on the subject.
The Thirty Million bill, introduced in the
Senate by Mr.. Slidell, WAS Withdrawn by that
gentleman, who gave notice that he should intro
duce it again at the beginning of the next Con-
gress. This bill was understood to be an ad-
ministration measure, and 1t would doubtless
have passed with little opposition had not the
real friends of Cuba annexation been firmly
convinced that its passage would defeat the
very object designed to accomplish. The ef-
forts of the professional organ grinders to man
ufacture political capital on the strength Of
this bill were failure from the beginning.
The friends of Cuba were not to be caught by
such clap-trap, nor we're they willing to take o
step in the dark.
The most sensible plan for the acquisition OF
Cuba, was bill lately introduced in the House
Of Representatives by Mr.. Taylor, of Louisana'
II authorizes the President. whenever be thinks
proper, to open negotiations with the Spanish
Government for the transfer Of the Island to
the United States and whenever treaty for
that purpose shall have been ratified by Spain
Che President is authorized to issue and deliver
to the Spanish agent, U. S. bonds, bearing in
terest at the rate of Eve per cent per annum
payable in thirty years, to the amount Of one
hund red and twenty millions of dollars. When
ever the transfer shall have been made, The
people of Cuba are authorized to form Con
stitution, and be admitted as State into the
Union, having two Senators, and until the next
decennial census, four Representatives in Con-
gress.
Such o law upon the statute book. would be
equivalent to a standing offer to Spain. and
would invest the President with full power to
open negotiations aud consummate the treaty
whenever a favorable opportunity should pre-
sent itself.

NEVADA, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 50, 1859
DEFINING Their positions.

An interesting debate took place In the U. s.
Senate, Feb. Esd, In the course Of which several
Senators defined their positions upon the Terri
torial policy of the Government A sketch Of
Senator Douglas remarks will be found on
our first page. The full debate will doubtless
be received by the next mail steamer. II seems
the discussion was carried on principally be-
tween Senators Douglas and Davis, who took
directly opposite positions on the question Of
Congressional interference In the internal af-
fairs Of the Territories. Davis contended that
Congress should interfere 10 protect slavery
whenever the people Of the Territories refused
or neglected to afford adequate protection
while Douglas maintained the Democratic doc
trine Of non-interferenee by Congress, a. laid
down in the Kansas. Nebraska bill and Cincin'
natl platform. A Washington correspondent
IN alludfng to the d. bate says that 'for four
mortal hours Douglas and Davis fought like
tigers, and the tone, gestures, manners and
matters of both were violent and sometimes
insulting" A number OF other Senators
among whom were Messrs. Broderick aud Gwin
are reported to have defined their positions
in the course of the debate; but as Douglas and
Davis were regarded as the leaders, the remarks
of other Senators were deemed Of less eonse-
quence, and were not reported by the corres-
pondents.
In 1856 the Democratic party went into the
contest with the doctrine Of non-intervention
inscribed on their banner, and this doctrine
was assented to by the party throughout every
section of t he Union. The Republicans at the
came time contended that Congress should in
terfere in the domestic affairs of the Terrific
ries, and legislate against slavery; The Le'
comptonites, headed by JEFF Davis, are now
contending for the Republican doctrine Of in
reference, and hold that Congress should leg
islate in favor Of slavery. The principles OF
Lecomptonism and Republcanism are equally
anti-Democratic and sectional; and in the next
Presidential contest neither can expect to carry
a single State, except in their own section.
II is impossible to foresee what may be the
position of political parties in 1860, but in any
event the Democracy will enter the contest of
that year, contending for the doctrine of non
Intervention, and with candidate represent
ing their principles. There is no virtue in the
organization of the Democratic party, any fur
ther than that organization represents princi-
ples.

QUEER CASE OF INsANTTY.-There is q man
confined in the station house at Marysville, says
the Express, who is insane, apparently in con-
sequence of the loss of some two hundred dol
lars, which appears to have been distracted
from his pocket few days since. The last
freak of the unfortunate man, is notien that
o female friend from San Francisco is confined
10 an adjoining cell, who desires TO lend him
sufficient money to get back to the mines. He
thinks very hard of the officers because they
will not grant him an interview with his friend.
The poor fellow has the appearance of an hon.
est hard working man. He says he was on his
wa y to New York when he lost bis money.

EASTERN NEWS.

By the overland mail we have dates from st.
Louis to March Sd. The intelligence Is Of con-
siderable interest.
The President has issued . proclamation call
ing an extra session of the Senate, to convene
on the 4th Of March. From the wording Of the
proclamation It would appear that something
extraordinary IL on the tapis number OF
newly elected Senators will be entitled to their
seats at the extra session.
A bill has passed the Senate, authorizing the
President to issue treasury notes. bearing six
per cent interest, to the amount Of twenty mil
lions Of dollars. The bill bad not passed the
House Of Representatives at latest advices.
At the municipal election in Chicago, held
March LIST, the Republican ticket had an ave-
rage majority of 1000. The Council stands
IA Republicans to Democrats The total vote
was about 5000. The Republicans were also
successful in the municipal elections Of Roch-
ester and Oswego
Nearly all the appropriation bills that have
passed Congress, have been materially reduced
from the estimates Of the various departments.
The naval appropriation bill was reduced from
ten to seven and half millions Of dollars.
A dispatch from New York, dated March I'd,
says the steamer Black Warrior has gone en-
tirely TO pieces. Her machinery will probably
be saved.
A terrible steamboat disaster occurred on
the Mississippi river, Feb. 9th. The steamer
Princess, from vicksburg bound for New Or
leans, exploded near Baton Rogue, and was
burned. There we're 400 passengers on board,
200 Of whom are among the lost and missing.
They were mostly residents Of Louisiana and
Mississippi. At latest accounts 1t was impossi-
BILE TO ascertain the number lost. Several boats
we're near the wreck and saved many of the
passengers, and numerous unrecognized bodies
were being found. The whole of the forward
part of the steamer was blown to pieces.
A dispatch from st. Joseph, dated Feb. 9th,
says that Doy and his son who had been kid
mapped in Kansas on charge Of running Off
negroes, were taken from the Jail at Platte city,
the night previous, and hung by mob. The
reason why this course was taken, was the
opinion that they would be cleared by the
court, as there was no evidence against them,
and the people had declared that they should
not go out of Platte county alive.
The House of Representatives have appro-
propriated 100000 to build military road
from Fort Benton to Fort Walla Walla.

DESPERATE SHOOTING AFFRAY. The Sar
Joaquin Republican gives the particulars of q
fatal shooting affray, between two men named
Wm Davis and P. Sherley, which occurred al
Sonora, on Wednesday last:
We have not the full particulars of the origin
of the difficulty, but learn that il was in refer.
ence to horse race, which came off in Spring
field some month or two since. 1t appears that
Davis, who rode the race, was accused by his
friends of "throwing off," involving loss OF
some thousands Of dollars to them but in con-
sequence of the charge of unfairness being
made against Davis, several of them refused to
have the Stockholders pay over to the winners.
A suit to compel the payment Of the money was
the result of the refusal, and the suit came off
on Wednesday in Sonora. We are not advised
as to which party gained it. While the trial
was progressing, harsh words took place be-
tween Sherley and Davis. Sherley being known
as a desperate man, Davis appeared desrous of
avoiding any difficulty with him, and descend
ed to the main part of the town, where he sat
down on a dry goods box alone. Sherley fol-
lowed him, and approaching, told him that he
Davis was coward and thief, and would
not fight. or words to that effect. Davis imme-
diately drew Derringer pistol and fired, the
ball passing through Sherley's body. Sherley.
with great rapidity, and before falling, drew
his six shooter and fired at Davis. The ball en-
tered his mouth, and glancng on the teeth,
passed through the left cheek and out at the
ear. By this time, Davis had drawn his six
shooter. Both fell about six feet apart, and
commenced firing at each other, and kept it up
until the barrels of both pistols were empty.
Davis had one of his hands torn badly by q
ball from Sherley's pistol, and received two
other wounds, making four in all. Sherley was
lifeless when the crowd approached them. Da-
Wis wounds, it is thought, are not dangerous.
