thirds rule the nomination Of the favorite Of
either party will be- impossible. suggests the
name Of Judge Bronson, Of New York, as a suit

man 10 Onion, except Douglas, would command
more votes than Bronson as the nominee ofthe
Democracy for President. Having devoted
himself 10 his profession, he has taken but little
part in the distractions Of the party for the past
three years, and his resistance 10 Federal tyr
any during the Pierce administration gives the
best assurance that the Presidential power
would be welded BY him wisely, prudehtly, and
firmly. Bronson is, perhaps, the only New

WAsHoE TERRITORY.

From the Territorial Enterprise Of Dec. 10th we
rather the following items Of intelligence:
A public meeting was held at Carson City, Dec.
7fh. which adopted resolutions highly eomplmenta-
nv to Col j. J. Musser, the Delegate elect 70 Con-
eress from that Territory. The meeting was large
and harmonious, and at the conclusion, an inn
promptu contribution taken up to defray the
expenses of the Delegate which resulted in the col
lection N Eve hundred dollars.
The late snow storm was more severe and extend
ed than any ever before known in that country. On
the Humboldt the snow was foot deep, and cattle
are dying for want Of food. There is not hay and
grain enough in the country to feed the animals re-
quired for work. rr s-.rr, A
The town Of Carson City is rapidly improving,
though the scarcity Of lumber has seriously retarded
its growth. Little cabins are distributed all over the
town, giving it the appearance Of mining place in
the early days Of California. ....a Z ~
In regard to the mines and mining interests, the
Enterpsfse says: Notwithstanding the extreme
coldness of the weather. many parties still pros
pecting, and specimens Of every kind Of rock bear
ing indication Of mineral substance, are either
brought or sent in here for assay Sales Of interests
in claims are daily made-some Of them of q COM
paratvely trivial nature, while others amount to
very large sums Almost everybody has an interest
in lead Of some kind and is rich in prospective.
The cold weather, instead of allaying, only seems
to increase the vrulence of the silver fever. Should
our new Territory be organized, one Of the first acts
of the Legislature should be, to make an appropria-
ton for Lunatc Asylum for Of surety, many Of
our citizens are nearly insane upon the subject Of
silver mining. w EftlE 4

SHOOTING AFFRAY AT SIERRA CTY.--A report
reached Nevada last week, to the effect that I.
J. Andrews who left here in company with VIM.
F. Anderson for Washoe, had shot and killed
man at Sierra City. II was subsequently, sscsr-
tained that the man was not dead, but severely
wounded, It appears that Andrews and seye-
raj others, on their way to Washoe, arrived at
Sierra City On Sunday evening, Decs llth, and
stopped for the night. During the evening,
Andrews entered saloon where q party were
playing cards. and looking over the shoulder OF
one, named John Nelson, told him he played
wrong Nelson contended he had played right.
This lead TO an alteration, which resulted In
Andrews drawing his pistol and firing at Mel
son, the ball taking effect under the chin, rang
lug up through the mouth, crushing several
teeth, aud coming ont under the right eye. In
mediately after the shooting, Andrews mounted
his horse and left for Washoe. Nelson was ta-
ken to Dowpieville and placed in the county
hospital The wound is not regarded as dan
ger0us. ilod = taWfu a9u'- firei

by his father on the last steamer, for the pur-
pose ofhaving him brought up under somewhat
better influences than were likely to have sur
rounded him had he, continued to live in Neva-

notices some Of the antics Of Little Bill, during
his short sojourn at the Bay city: iaois n lsd1

amused himself with jabbering jargon with a

CARSON VALLRYs- The Legislature of the pro-
posed Territory Of Nevada, met at Genoa last
Friday, and organized by electing 0, II, Pier
son, Speaker, and II. S. Thompson, Clerk. 1t
appears that only four members Of the Council
and House Of Delegates assembled, and under
the circumstances, Gov. Roop issued procla-
nation, recapituating some Of the evils to
which the citizens Of that section were subject
ed, and proclalming the session adjourned until
the first Monday in July, 1860. Previous to
adjourning, several spirited resolutions were
adopted, and committee of three appointed to
draft . memorial to Congress to expedite the
organization Of the new Territory.

rh. ekarlesson Convention. :.


The Marysville Democrat Of Wednesdpy last,
intimated il Intention of supporting the nomi-
inee Of'the CARLETON Convention, undef any
circumstances, bnt subsequently qualified Iis
position by adding, "if he be true Democrat"
With the qualification, we can endorse the posi-
ton Of the Demoerat. We shall not, however,
support any man who favOrsl The dOctfine Of
Congressional interference with slavery in the
Territories- Yhetber i be to protect or exclude,
establish or prohibit, ths institution. 10 1855
the Democratic psrtypf tbe Union took the po-
sition that the people ofa Territory. "liks those
Of State" should manage their own domestic
institutions, Including that Of slavery. Since
that time, men protesting TO be Democrats are
endeayoring to commit the party to the doe
trine that Territorial Legislature has no right
to interfere In any way with the institution Of
slavery, aud some 60 20 far as to advocate Con-
gressional slave code. This doctriuce is equally
sectional with that Of the Republicans, who
claim that Congress should prohibit the inslisu-
ton in the Territories If the slave coolers get
control Of the Charleston Convention, the Or
ganization win cease 10 be Democratic, and the
contest of 1860 viii become purely sectional, 30
far 90 The Northern and Southern "irrepressi-
BE confictors" can make u SO. In that case u
viii become The duty Of the true Democracy 10
keep aloof from such organizations, and adopt
whatever means they may deem advisable TO
carry ont the national principles Of the party.
We believe, however, that the Charleston
Convention will be controlled BY the true De-
inocracy, that the Cincinnati Plahorm will be
re-adopted, and that q candidate will bo noni'
mated who has stood true to the principles OF
the party. II the friends Of Douglas have q
majority ia the Convention, he will be nomina-
ted; for in that case the antiDemocratlc two
thirds rule will be rescnded; and II the slave
coolers and ire-eators are disposed to bolt the
nominee no effort need be made to retain them
for Douglas can be elected without their aid.
Should Douglas be tho nominee OF the Charles
ton Convention his election would be certain,
and he Is the only man of whom that mnch can
be said, He Is empbatcaIly the representative
Of the doctrine of Popular Sovereignty, and
bis nomination would not only call out the full
Democratic vote, but win back many who have
for the past two years voted against the party
on account of the proscriptive policy adopted
by Buchanan's Administration. a' alP

WE TELL THE TALE AS IT WAS Told Us-They
tell good story down in San Francisco on Marx,
ofthe Custom House. He anda son Of the Old Do
minion were conyersing on the Harper's Ferry af-
fair Marx thought it very odd that seventeen men
could take possession of an entire arsenal, make
seventy or eighty men prisoners frighten whole
town, and scare an entire town. Such things could
not be done in Germany. The other stood up man
fully in defense of his native State; and to impress
his logic with greater force upon Marx, he SMILED
thus "Now suppose" said he, "that seventeen
men should get an entrance into that big brown
house at night, (ponting to the custom house,) and
should manage so as to take prisoner the first man
that came in the morning and the next, and the
next, and so on, each separately, could they not
make prisoners OF them ali I" Marx scratched his
head awhile, and looking up with beaming coun-
tenance. as if a new light had just broke in upon
him, answered, "Well, don't know but they could;
they pretty much all Virginians there, any way"

this: A water-wheel can be placed over o
fame or reservoir, the water raised to the top,
and after being used to turn the wheel will de-
scend to its former level, ready to be lifted up
and used again. The invention is similar to

the District Court, 10 the case Of Fremont vs..
Crenshaw and others, has been settled The
hands who held possession Of the ophlr Mill, as
security FOR their wages, have relinquished their
claims to tho property to Fremont, he paying
