NeVndR Territory.

A correspondent from Carson Valley gives
us some items of interest. Emigration is
pouring into the valley from across the Plains,
+ quite rapidly. The town at Eagle Valley,
from which point he writes, is growing up
very fast A firm from Forest City in this
State are doing rushing business in keeping
a hotel and store there. Their clerk is Bill
DeKay, formerly of Wells, Fargo 4 Cos Ex-
press, at Marysville. Eagle Valley town, or,
as it is now beginning to be called, Carson
City. is a sort of trading point for Washoe,
Steamboat and Long Valleys, as well as the
Truckee Meadows and the Sink of the Hum
boldt Major Ormsby of Carson City, has
contracted for the erection of large two
story and half hotel, with Senate and Legis-
lative Halls attached, in order to offer an in
ducement to the Provisional Government of
Nevada Territory to make that locality the
Capital of the embryo State The Provision
al Legislature now sits at Genoa. A draw
back to building at Carson City is the want
oflumber, there being only one saw mill in
the region and that ten miles off, in the
Washoe Valley. ]. Colburn, however, has
begun to build a saw mill one and q halt
miles from Carson City, which will be run
ming in six weeks
The nominating conventions for eighteen
/ legislators, nine councilmen, Governor, a
Secretary, and other officers under the new
] pro,is;orol Covarprant toLa D1aoa IN the
22d of August, and the election occurs on the
same day in September In the meantime
lynch law prevails in the Territory, for the
people refuse to recognize law and order as
it is conducted under Mormon rule. Two
men, few days ago, were caught stealing q
yoke of oXen,-they were caught by the own
err and taken to Washoetown-there they
were tried by an impromptu jury, found
guilty, and sentenced to have their ears crop
ped and leave in twelve hours. A crop was
taken out of the top of one of the ears of each
and they were then given their walking pa
pers. a ball was given at Carson City, not
long SINCE which was a fine affair for a new
place. Twenty nine ladies were present
among whom were Mrs. Fox and Miss Bos-
hean from near Downieville, who were on q
pleasure trip, on horseback, to the Valley
under the escort of party of gentlemen.
Our correspondent speaks favorably of the
dggings.
MoNs. BLoNDIN AoAIx.-The Buffalo Reput
lie has the following:
On Saturday night at little after II, sub
sequent to the play, the curtain rose at The
Metropolitan, and exhibited NJ. Rlondin
standing on the lower part of the rope which
led from the back part of the stage of tn,
Metropolitan, up to the roof the theatre il
the third tier, at an angle of forty four de-
! grees, with Col. Lum Smith soundly anC
firmly 3erched upon his shoulders. Mr.
! Blondin had his heaviest balance pole, anG
commenced his perilous walk, without the
/ slightest hesitation, treading firmly and con
| fidently upon the rope, as though he had nc
extra weight to bear.
The Republic says that the feat was easily
performed. Mons. Blondin walked up the
rope until he reached his destination, anC
down again to the place where he started
While Mr., Blondin weighs but 13O pounds
the weight Of the man carried was 16i
pounds. The Republic thinks this is a great
er performance than crossing the stream o
Niagara.
