A NEW disease made its appearance since the
introduction of hoops. 1t exhibits itself only In
cold weather, and then is only discovered In
cities where the buildings are warmed by fur
naces. Two ladies were standing over regis
ter the other day, talking and laughing, when
one endeavoring to sit, was suddenly attacked,
and screamed Violently. The other soon tried
to sit, and was attacked in the same manner.
The explanation is, that by standing so long
over the register, their metallic hoops became
heated to such degree that when they at
tempted to be seated it was like setting on q
hot gridron. OF course they were not a great
while in getting up again, and naturally
enough uttered screams-all of which would be
very mysterious 70 q looker-on unacquainted
with the mysteries of hoops.-Eastern Paper.

THE RuMoRED CoMPRoNIsE.-The Washinton
States, in alludng to the report that negotia-
tions were pending to compromise the difficult
ties in the ranks of the Democratic party, says:
In every view it is incumbent on the Presi-
dent to propose the truce and if he is really
solicitous for peace, he cannot ignore or reject
the primary requisite of an accommodation.
Let him call off his dogs in Illinois. With the
prestige of the legitimate organization, and an
infinite majority of the Democracy in his follow
ing, he is still pursued by the pack of Federal
officials, who pretend to beep up the fight at
the instance of the Administration. Let there
be an end Of this persecution. Let Pine. Cook,
and their associates be whipped back to their
kennel-nOt because their yelplng is offensive
to Judge Douglas, so much as on account of
its distraction to the party.
On the other hand, Judge Douglas will be
under obligation to withhold his sanction from
insubordinate movements against the organiza-
ton of the Democratic party. We do not mean
to intimate that he extends his countenance to
any such demonstration. but simply to suggest
the special duty which will devolve upon him
when the Office holding faction of Illinois desst
from their persecution.

ARCHIE AND BowLEY.-These worthless who
attempted some months ago to rob the Forest
City pack train, were tried in the Marysville
Court of Sessions last week, and convicted of
robbery and attempt at robbery. Archie was
also convicted of stealing horses. They were
each sentenced to ten years imprisonment; but
the Court recommended that they be pardoned
at the end of four years, provided the officers
of the prison at that time shall give a certificate
of their good behavior.

MAP OF NORTH AMERICA.-We examined yes.
terday "Johnson's New Illustrated Map of the
Republics of North America" which wasshown
us by Mr.. T. A. Kelly, who has them for sale
1t is by far the best map Of North America we
ever saw; it is about seven feet square, and all
the counties in each of the States and Terrific
ries of the Union, together with the several
States of Mexico and Central America are dis
tinctly delineated. Mr.. Kelly is stopping al
the U. S. Hotel, where he will remain for few
days. The price of the maps is SIG each, and
they are we'll worth the money.

MANzANrrA TUNNEL.-In the spring Of 1856,
Messrs. Mailman and Ritter commenced run
ming tunnel into Manzanita Hill, beginning
lust north of Nevada. The ground had previ-
ously been prospected and the object Of run
ming the tunnel was to get fall enough to wash
the dirt from top to bottom, and drain the hill.
For the first two hundred feet they had to blast
through solid rock, and the expense was so
great that the work was temporarily abandon
ed. A few months after, Mr.. William Duryea
purchased an interest in the tunnel and mining
claims, when the work was recommended, and
has been carried on ever since. The tunnel has
now been run distance of eight hundred feet,
a fume for slucing the gravel has been put in,
and on Monday they commenced washing The
hume is 2,2O 0 feet in length, extending 1,40O
feet below tie mouth of the tunnel, is four wide,
and three feet high-taking $4,000 feet of lum-
Der for it's construction. The cost Of the tunnel
and flume has exceeded 100000. Their claims
extend over six or seven acres Of ground, and
adioin the Live Oak Co.'S claims, and are sup
posed to be equally as rich the dirt being from
40 to l2o feet deep, it will probably take them
eight or ten years to work it out. The gravel
from the surface to the bed rock will be washed
down by means of the hydraulic, and run
through the tunnel. 1t will take year for
them to get in to the best part Of their ground,
but Mr.. Duryea informs us that at present they
expect to make $1,000 week, over and above
expenses, and that the diggings will improve as
they get further in. That this tunnel will be
valuable property for many years to come, We
have no doubt, as large portion Of the hill
will eventually be washed through the tunnel.

HuMBUG CrTY.-We learn from a resident OF
Humbug City, that business has been dull at
that place during the past winter and spring.
Lasterly, however, the times are improving,
several new business houses have been opened
during the past week, and the miners have an
ample supply of water, which will hereafter be
permanent the year round. The Humbug Falls
.Fluming Co. has been recognized, and now
have six men at work, night and day, putting
in the fume. The object of constructing thii
flume, is to get sufficient fall to carry Off the
tailings and drain the diggings. When com
.pleted, some twenty mining companies will he
enabled TO work their claims that are now ly'
ing idle, and which will give employment to al
least two hundred men. About Eve hundred
feet of the 1ume is yet to be constructed, and
It is calculated that the work will be completed
in the course of two months.
Messrs. Myers & Co., whose claims are loca-
ted on Humbug Flat, have lately got down to
the bed rock, and are now averaging sixteen
dollars q day to the hand.
Fuller, Van Syke d Co., whose claims are
on Republican Hill, have been making ten dol
lars day to the hand. Their claims were
opened this season, and have heretofore been
worked to q disadvantages; but they have now
united their claims with the adjoining claims
OF Messrs. Jacobs Il Hucklebone, for the pur-
pose of working on more extensive scale and
to better advantage. The company Is now
called the Union Min 'ng Co.
The old Marlow claims, and the claims Of the
Canadian Co., opposite Republican Hill, have
been paying for the past three months, about
fifteen dollars day to the hand.
The Malakoff Co., whose claims are located
on Virgin creek, cleaned up $1,000, for one
weeks work of three men. They are now run
ming two pipes, and intend to put on four more
in the course Of month.
The diggings on Manzanita Hill, and other
places in the vicinity, have also been paying
exceedingly we'll this season. A number of in
terests in claims have been sold this spring, at
prices varying from $4,000 to $4,000 per share

REPUBLICAN MEETING.-An enthusiastic meet
ing of the Republicans of Nevada township was
held at the NJ. E. Church, Saturday afternoon,
TO appoint delegateb to the State Convention.
The proceedings, as made out by the officers,
will be found in another column. We are in-
formed that six persons attended the meeting,
and the resolutions adopted doubtless express
the political sentiments of majority of those
present. There was no contest for delegates
the great difficulty being to find men who would
serve-and the proceedings of the meeting were
entirely harmious.
We are informed that the Republicans of this
county intend to run ticket of their own,
which will doubtless be supported by all who
expect to get Federal office when their party
elects President. In 1856 the Republicans
polled some fourteen hundred votes in the coun-
ty, but their vote has fallen off at every subse-
quent election, and at the regular rate of de-
crease the party will poll from one to two hun
dred votes this year.

On WITH TUE LIGHTNIY0.-The President OF
the Placerville and Humboldt Telegraph Com
pany, Informs us that arrangements have been
made for the immediate resumption of the work
on the line, and the wires will be stretched in
the direction of Salt Lake as rapidly as posi-
BILE. From the earnestness which characterized
the work last season, we have good reason to
expect that by the close of another Summer we
shall be in direct telegraphic connection with
the Mormon city.-PlacrviHs Observer.
The Nevada Democrat., 1859-06-01

came off at Placerville, last Saturday, between
VIM. Worden, alias Soda Bill; and W. F. Shep-
ard. The distance run was fifty yards, for a
stake of $500. Shepard won the race by over
eight feet. Soda Bill had better give up the
business of foot-racing, and turn his attention
to something else.

FIRE AT DuTcH FLAT.--A fire occurred at
Dutch Flat, Placer comfy, on Wednesday af-
ternoon, May 25th. Four or five buildings, OF
little value, were consumed. The fire origina-
ted in carpenter shop. The wind was blow
ing pretty hard al the time, but by the exer-
tions of the citizens, the fire was prevented from
crossing the street, and the town was thus saw
ed from destruction. The loss was about

OVERFLOW OF THE MIssIssIPPI.-The st. Louis
correspondents of the S. F. National, under date
of May 9TH, says:
The people living on the Lower Mississippi
are at this time subjected to misfortune that
amounts TO an actual calamity, in the uuexam-
pled food of waters that has prevailed in that
region for ten days, and which gives no indica-
tion of speedy subsistence. At Vixburg, and,
from there all the way down to the Delta, the
Mississippi is higher than it ever was known TO
be before; and the mighty volume of its waters
overfiowing the weak levees thrown up to re-
sist, has spread over the country for miles on
either side, inundating the farms and planta-
tions, sweeping away fences, barns and dwell.
ings, drowning hogs, cattle and horses, and
spreading devastation all around. Steamboat
men Just up from below inform me that the
banks of the river in Louisiana and Mississippi
Dever before presented such scene of dreary
desolation as now. The plantations along the
river have been abandoned, and their lnhabl
tants carried to the towns and cities for safety;
and even many of the towns are flooded with
water to the floors of the second story.
Our latest advices from New Orleans inform
us that the city was in hourly peril OF being
partially flooded, as the river, already several
feet higher than the level on which the city
stands, was still rising, and threatening in ma
nv places to break through the wasting leVee
aud precipitate the waters into the streets II
requires the constant exertion of the city au-
thorities to keep the levee in repair, and, in
addition to this, the city is in continual danger
of an invasion by the waters in the rear, from
the crevasses above. The Yazoo region IN
Mississippi is in the same condition, and the
planters estimate the loss from destruction oi
property. and the loss of the coming crop, a.
So, ,0OO, 900. The Ohio has been at flood height
for ten days, and in week longer, this rise
will also reach New Orleans. The Missouri
too is just getting on swell, rising at the rate
of six feet day at ST. Joseph, from the late
heavy rains out west. We fear that these pro
digous accessions to the Lower Mississippi, will
increase the ruin and injury which the people
of that region are already subjected to.

RECEPTION OF A DISTINGUISHED MAN.-Judge

PRIVATE PROPERTY IN TINE OF WAR.-Eng-
land has signifed her willingness to Secretary
Marcy's proposition substantially for the ex-
emption of all private property from seizure
on the ocean, in time Of war, but Mr. Buchanan
insists upon condition respecting blockades
which effectually prevents the conclusion Of
the negotiations.
