The INDEPENDENT COUNTY MovE.
MENT.-On Saturday last, at 2P M, as
sembled about sixty or seventy persons
at the Court House to inaugurate a new
party in the county which should have
for its object the nomination of a tick.
ct that citizens not belonging to any
existing party could eonscienciously
support.
Judge John Williams was called to
the chair, who replied to the call in a
few brief but pointed remarks on the
evils ofthe times. Ed Wheaton, was
appointed Secretary. T. B. Mcfarland
EST, defined the object of the meeting
and descanted upon the aspect of politics
and the probabilities of good to result
from an Independent organization. Mr.
Mcfarland expressed his belief that the
differences between the Douglas De-
mocracy and the other wing would not
be known next year. He, also, thought
the probabilities were that an indepen-
dent candidate for the Presidency
would be elected next year, and was in
favor of beginning the nucleus. of an in-
dependent party in the county around
which national meh could rally.
Mr. Tomlinson, a staunch old miner,
took the floor and delivered lengthy
speech, which he had committed to paper
"unaccustomed as he was to public
speaking" His remarks embodied too
much ofthe sentiment of the statesmen
of the country who had gone before him
to find favor in a modern auaeace.
Some outsiders who never paid adollar to
the government in their lives, and never
will should the mornings of Methusaleh
dawn on them, affected to deride the
effort of heavy tax payer of forty
years. The old gentleman was bound
to have his "say" out, and did have it
out eventually.
After some other remarks were made
committee was appointed to devise a
representation in a county convention
to be holden on the 30th of July. A
committee was also appointed to ipre-
pare an address 10 the people of the
county when the meeting adjourned to
the 3Oth proximo.
Whatever may be said of the inde-
pendent movement in this county by the
slaves ofparty, it is certain that large
and respectable body of men fav or it.
About two hundred names of as good
citizens as this or any other county can
fu, nish are appended to a call. Owing
to the unparalleled hot weather and
the ignorance abroad of the
number of men engaged in the
movement, bat few Of the people from
other parts of the county came to the
meeting. The Independent men of the
townships far removed from the county
seat did not know the numerical strength
of their brethren here, or we doubt not
there would have been a larger attend
ance. The hope is indulged that the
case will be different on the 30th Of
July.

TERMS or THE PAPER.

HowLAND's BATTERY.-The asodx,
operandi, of Howland's Rotary Battery
was practically demonstrated to us a few
days since with model by L. Miner,
Esq. travelling agent Of the manufac-
turers. 1t strikes us the invention is a
capital one for crushing quartz success
fully. The virtues of the apparatus
ever every other for the purpose are
claimed to be-and we think the claim
well founded-cheapness in the con-
struction, saving both time and expense;
less injury to the stamps and more, and
more perfect crushing surface; and a
more effective mode of amalgamating.
That it saves time and expense is OBJ
vious. In twenty days from the time
of giving an order for a mill at the foun-
dry, it may be had in operation here,
and for twenty-five per cent cheaper
than an old style mill of the same power
can be constructed for. The old style
will take months to complete, and when
completed can only be removed at great
expense, while Howland's Battery can
betransported to any point desired at a
comparatively trifing cost and with no
injury.
AS the stamps revolve the faces of
them wear even and alike. They pre-
sent, therefore. uniform crushing sur
face, and will wear longer, are cheaper
and will do more effective service. The
stamps are arranged so that one is lifted
lust ahead of the fallen one. The quartz
thus left uncrushed is thrown directly
under the next stamp to fall, and all
pieces of rock are driven around the
circle of stamps till completely pul9er-
lied. Quicksilver is used in the battery
and the course of the pieces Of quartz
around the circle assist amalgalnation
greatly. The crushed rock strikes the
seive obliquely which lengthens their
term of service essentially.
The stamps are lifted by perpendic-
ular cam wheel having horizontal mo-
ton. Upon the wheel are inclines which
by the motion are brought under ia pits
or wheels fastened solidly to the stem of
thestamps. Both the inclines and the
tapits are bevelled, which gives to the
stamps when lifting a rotary motion,
and by this constant turning motion all
parts of the face of the stamp are worn
alike.
Howland's Battery has been much i'm
proved since the one in use by Almarin
B. Paul, Esq, of the Oriental Mill, was
erected but for efficiency probably no
apparatus in this vicinity will surpass
that. Quartz miners should examine
Howland's Battery, assuredly before
erecting one of the old, clumsy and e1-
pepsiye kinds,

The Amti-Lecompson Conremtion.-
1t is generally admitted that the late
convention of popular sovereignty men
did themselves and their party great
credit in their selections of candidates
for State Offices. Though we do not
approve the entire policy Of the party
in the choice of their standard bearers,
so far as our acquaintance with the
nominees extends we must say good
men have been selected. In this respect
both the Republican and popular SOW
ereiguty conventions have done well.
As men of ability and moral standing we
could conscientiously support either of
the two candidates for Governor and
probably will support one of them by
our vote in the election. Which
will depend upon the views We en-
tertain of the relative strength of Currey
and Stanford, on the day we deposit our
ballot. We hold in the contest now wa
ging that if the Administration be so
wofullyfcorrupt as both the Republicans
and popular sovereignty men peltina-
ciously declare it to be, that it is the
duty Of the two parties as patriots to
amalgamate, and we know of no more
equitable mode then the largest concess-
ions from the smallest party, provided at
all times that self respect be preserved.
Believing that the parties opposed to the
Administration should act together, we,
as one Independent of all parties, shall
de at the polls what we deemed proper
and polite for the Broderick men and
Republicans to do IN Convention. With
out reserve then, we say, we shall sup
port McKibben and Baker for Congress,
and D. R. Ashley for Treasurer if he
accepts the nomination. For Clerk Of
the Supreme Court We can 60 DR.. Pow
ell, and for State Printer John O'Meara
suits us to halr. After the Lecompton
State Convention has adjourned we will
select our candidate for Supreme Judge.
Ofthe two candidates for that position
in the field, Sprague and Shafter, we
prefer the latter. Politics should have
nothing to do with the selection of a
Judge. Eminent talents and ability are
what is wanted, and we regard Shafter
as far the superior lawyer of the two and
prefer him accordingly. Our objection
to him is, he does not come from the
mining districts. With regard to the
other nominees we intend to vote ex.
aetly as we please, after a further ac-
tainance with some of them. They are
all reputed to be good men and we hope
they will keep up their reputation that
if we err in our choice of the best mel n,
good ones will be favored with our vote
any how.

Virginia ElecttOn.-The last overland
mail which brings St. Louis dates of the
3Oth ult, four days after the Virginia
election, holds out some hope that the
Opposition had carried the State. 1t
can not be possible that the very fortress
of democracy for more than thirty years
has surrendered. 1t is news too good to
be true. TIE seventy five counties
heard from are probably west of the Blue
Ridge which is section not so thorough
ly democratic as the eastern half of the
State. A gain of five or seven thousand
would not be SO astonishing in that sec
ton. The tide-water region yet to be
heard from will doubtless go strongly
for Letcher-strong enough we fear to
elect him. Should it, however, turn out
that the Opposition. have won, apolitic al
revolution will be the inevitable result
The effect of triumph to the Opposi-
ton in Virginia would be tremendous,
changing the votes of thousands upon
thousands throughout the Union. and
bringing forward to the front ranks
John NJ. Bolts for the Presidency. And
whether triumphant or not the spirit
aroused among the Wings of Virginia
will communicate itself to their brethren
in other States. The fact that within
small fraction. of one halfthe people Of
Virginia are oppos ed to the sway of de-
mocracy will tell amazingly in contests
to come. 1t will give heart to the Op-
position forces in that state and every
other, nerve them to exertiOn, create
enthusiasm and decide the contest, we
believe, in 1860, in a favor of liberal
lied party policy unknownto the present
Administration. We await the full re-
turns from Virginia with much anxiety.

Did MT take it.-A man named Thomas
Trainor was playing high old tragedy on
Tuesday evening at the corner of Broad
and Pine. Procuring a vial of nitric acid
at DIR. Wickes' Drug store he went be-
hind Flagg's stable and was supposed
to swallow some of it as a portion of it
was found gone out of the vial when he
was discovered. The signs of agony in
the countenance of the young man con-
frmed the suspicious which the half
empty bottle created, and he was remo-
we'd to the drug store and liberal
quantity of antidotes poured down his
throat. At last accounts he was slowly
recovering from the effect of said anti
dotes. 1t was rumored that he didn't
swallow the "cold pizen" as he was ac-
cused.
