Tug OCTOBER ELEcTI0Ns.-Eections were
held in Georgia and Mississippi, Oct. Sd, for
State officers and members Of Congress. Dis
patches received from the former State an
nounce the reelection of Gov. Brown by a
heavy majority. One of the Congressional dis
tricts was conceded to the opposition, and the
others are supposed to have gone Democratic.
The Congressman elected from Mississippi are
doubtless all Democrats. The Legislature OF
Georgia will have Senator to elect in place
Of Iverson. On tho llth of October elections
were held in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Iowa, and
Minnesota. In Pennsylvania two unimportant
State officers were to be elected and no great
interest was manifested in the result. Ia Ohio
Iowa, and Minnesota, State officers and men,
bers Of the Legislatures we're elected, and al
the latest dates spirited contest was going on
The Democrats were conducting the campaign
upon the non-nteryention principle, and had
great hopes of success Two members Of Con
gress we're also elected In Minnesota, aud q Sen.
ator is to be elected by the Legislature in place
OF Gen. Shields whose term expired with the
last Congress.

re,r nl.enverios al the Xvashoe.

Mr. Foster, the expressman, gives Us fat
tering account Of the prospects Of the silver
mines recently discovered in the vicinity Of
Washoe Valley. On his last trip to that coun-
try. be obtained the result Of assays Of silver
ore from three ledges which have been discov-
cred within the past few weeks.
The ledge of Collins Il Co., situated four
miles from Washoe Lake, was discovered about
the first of October. The propriotors took some
specimens Of silver ere from the groupings Of
the ledge and sent IL to San Francisco to be as
sayed, which yielded at the rate Of $940 ton.
This ledge is owned by emigrants, who are
without means to work it to advantage at pres
ent, but they regard it as of great value and
consider their fortunes made.
The ore from the ledge Of Suttle Il Co., stu
ated about four miles east of Carson City, near
the river, assays at the rate Of 1900 ton.
The ledge was discovered about three weeks
ago, and the ore assayed at Carson City.
About the middle of October, Mr.. Maxwell
discovered ledge, the ore from which assays
at the rate of $500 ton. This ledge is situa-
ted about four miles from Steamboat Spring,
and eight miles from the celebrated Comstock
diggings
A number Of other silver mines, supposed to
be valuable, have been discovered within the
past few weeks, but the above are all from
which Mr.. Foster could obtain the result Of as
says. Adventurers from California are contin-
ually arriving, and prospecting parties can be
seen travelling over the country in every disco
tion, searching for new veins.
We have never been able to gather any def
mite information in regard to the thickness of
these veins of silver ore, nor of the amount Of
labor ordinarily required in getting 1t out; but
interests have been sold in one or two Of the
mines at almost fabulous prices, and the lucky
owners in other veins refuse to sell on any
terms. Mr. Foster informs us that one of the
leads which be examined, the vein of silver ore
was from two to four inches In thickness, en-
closed 10 = heavy quartz ledge. The quartz
yielded some twenty or thirty dollars ton in
gold, and the silver ore contains more or lcss
gold.
Last Friday week, miner who was pros
pecting near the toll road, between Gold Hill
and Carson river, dug into what he supposed
to be vein Of decomposed quartz, quantity
Of which he packed to the nearest water and
washed out eighty pans from which he realized
$l35. The work was all done in one day. His
discovery becoming known, large number OF
miners were attracted to the place, who were
prospecting for other leads at laft accounts
A gentleman of our acquaintance, who has
been engaged many years in quartz mining
and who visited Washoe Valley last summer,
told us some months ago, that the eastern slope
Of the Sierras would yet become the richest sill
yer mining country in the world. At the rate
discoveries are now being made his prediction
is likely TO be verified.

SENATORIAL ArPoINTMENT.-Gov. Weller has
filed the vacancy in the U. s. Senate, caused
BY the death Of Senator Broderick, by the ap-
polntment Of Henry p. Haun, of Yuba, to that
position. Mr.. Haun will hold the Office until
the vacancy is filled by the Legislature. The
Marysville Express gives short biography Of
the appointee, from which We learn that he was
born In Kentucky, studied law at the Transyl.
vania University, removed to Iowa in 1916, and
came TO California In 1849. He settled In Ma
rysville, where he commenced the practice of
the law, and was elected County Judge of Yuba
In the spring Of 1850, which office he held four
years. He built the "Haun House" in Marys.

and afterwards retired to farm near Marys-
vile, and has been engaged in agriculture for
She past few years. He has been quite prom
inent politician Of Yuba county, and unsuc-
cessful candidate for nomination for Governor,
Congress, etc. He is not q man of much abil-
isy; but 10 personally unobjectionable, and his
political views accord with those Of the domi-

Was not mentioned In connection with the Of

some forty-nve or hfty years of age.

VoTE OF THE New ENGLAND SrATEs.-The
Shasta Courier, in commenting upon the late
election In Maine, takes occasion to say thai
not one Of the New England States ever cast
its electoral vote either for Jefferson or Jack.
son. The editor is very much mistaken in re.
gard to the vote Of these States. for one OF
them, at least, and we believe two, voted for
Jefferson in 1904, and two or three Of them
twice cast their electoral vote for Jackson
From 1904 to 1854 period of fifty years
the Democratic party were in the ascendant in
New Hampshire, and we doubt whether another
State in the Union can show as clear Demo
cratic record for such length Of time.

kANsAs.-The intelligence received by the
overland mail, which left st. Louis Oct. 9th,
leaves but little doubt that the people of Kan
sas have adopted the State Constitution, and Of
course application will be made for her adms-
sion into the Unon at the approaching session
of Congress. The English Bill will stand In the
way OF her admission, and there will undoubt-
edly be another exciting Kansas contest in Con-
gress next winter; but unless the President
should veto the bill there is no doubt that she
will be admitted

STABBING ArFRAY.-A serious stabbng affray
took place near Camptonville, last Wednesday, be-
tween Louis Napoleon and another Frenchman.
Napoleon stabbed the other with clasp knife, once
in the groin and once in the abdomen, causing his
entrails to protrude. His wounds were dressed by
Dr. Farley, who thinks the chances are against his
recovery. Napoleon was taken to Camptonvile,
examined before magistrate, and committed to the
custody Of the Sheriff in default of $5 900 BAIL The
difficulty originated about American girl Of qucs-
tionable repute.

RoDBERs TAKEN.-Three of the four rascals who
robbed a man named Raymond, few weeks ago
near Silver Lake, arrested recently in Tulare
county, by Deputy Sheriff Smith, after desperate
chase of ten miles, during which they threw away
every thing about their persons in order to expedite
their fight. They were taken to Jackson, where
they gave their names as Price, Henderson, and
Brown, and were committed to Jail. They had $3.50
in their possession, and the mules and horse taken
from Raymond at the Lake were in their possession
when arrested.

There is already an excellent wagon road
from Nevada to Eureka, but between the latter
place and Jackson's Ranch there are two or
three hills that will have to be graded, the cost
of which will not exceed $4,000, and $4,000 of
this amount can be raised In Eureka township.
From Jackson's Ranch to Dog Valley, twenty
ive miles byon the summit, there is no obsta-
Gle worth mentioning. Some considerable
grading will be required at Dog Valley hill,
and then, by clearing away few rocks in 9TH
er places, we shall have good road from Ne
vada to the principle mining localities on the
eastern slope. The total cost Of opening this
route SO that teams can easily draw sixty hun
dred pounds through to Silver City, we are
told, will not ex ceed $4,000, and 1t will then
bO one Of the principal thoroughfares to the
newly discovered mines.

"STRUcK HOME TIoKET."-The Sacramento
Union mentions the case of an elderly man named
Hammock, who recently sold his interest in silver
mine at Washoe Valley to B. Davidson, She banker
Of San Francisco, for $2l 900. Hammock is now
getting ready to leave for the East where he has
wife who will doubtless be reoced at his good for
tune. Speaking Of his good luck, few days since,
and of his intended journey, he remarked to friend

ITO CONSERVATIVES" I've have received an
advertisement, headed as above, from "Rev.
Edward A. Wilson, Williamsburg, Kings CO.,
n. Y" The advertiser. after suffering several
years with consumption was restored to health
by very simple remedy, and being anxious to
make known 10 his fellow sufferers the means
Of cure, will send the prescription Gree Of
oharge) to all who will address him letter.
or course he expects every one to send him a
postage stamp to pay for the return letter,
though he says nothing about that. We take
this to be one of the thousand swindllng ope-
ratlons now being practiced throughout the
country. II the Rev. Mr.. Wilson was really
anxious to make his simple remedy known, he
could do SO with much less expense and trouble
to himself, than by the course he has adopted.

The OCEAN NAIL SERvIoE.-The California
mail, Of Oct. 9Th, from New York, was deliver
ed to the Vanderbilt steamer--the everlasting
johnson having failed to procure steamship
on that side. His contract is consequently for
feted. and the mail will now be carried by
Vanderbilt for nine months, according to the
provisional contract made with him by the De-
partment. Had johnson succeeded In procur.
ing steamer at New York, he would have had
no steamer to connect on this side, and the mail
would have been detained perhaps for months,
IN Nicaragua.

p 49,. ~ Sir John Franl.lin's Expedition.

Relies of Sir John FronKHhs b1Pe"iei"i'
The Overland Mall arrived at Gilroy on Moncay
last. A dispatch to the Marysville Democrat gives
the following interesting intelligence from England;
The Arctic steamer Fox had returned with inter
estng records and relics of the Franklin expedition
from which it appears that Franklin died in lo1i
tion found at Point William, record dated April
18th, 184S; signed by Capt Crenier and Fitzjames,
saving that the Erebus and Terror were abandoned
three DAYS previous, and that los survivors were
proceeding to reach Fish river; thatSir John Frank
lin had died June 11th, of the previous year, and
that the total deaths to date were nine officers and
fifteen men. Many interesting relies were found on
the western shore Of King Williams Island, Others
were obtained from the Esquimaux, who stated that
after the abandonment of the ships, was crushed
by ice and the other forced ashore Several skele-
tons of Franklins men, quantities of clothing, and
a duplicate record up to the time of the abandon
ment Of the ships, were discovered.

NEVADA, WEDNESDAY. NOV. 2, 1859.

The Marysvile Express and San Francisco
Times appear to be giving themselves consider
able unnecessary trouble, in regard to the fu-
ture course Of the Anti-Lecompson Democrats
of this State, and charge them with the design
of "sneaking back" into the Lecompton party.
We would suggest to the editors Of those pa
pers, as It is yet some time before the next elec
tion, that for the present they would do better
to attend to the internal affairs of their own
parties, and leave other parties TO take care Of
themselves The next election will be for Pres-
ident, and the anti-Lecompton Democrats Of
California will vote for that candidate who
stands on the Popular Sovereignty platform,
and who holds 10 The doctrine of non-interven.
tion by the Federal Government with the do
domestic affairs of the Territories. That there
will be such candidate before the people, in
1860, there cannot be particle of doubt. If
Douglas is the nominee Of the Charleston Con-
vention, he will receive the vote of almost ev-
cry man who voted for Currey at the late elec-
tIon 10 this State. They will vote for him, not
In "sneaking' way, but openly and above
board, and ask no favors Of any one. The Pop
ular Sovereignty Democrats are the only ma
tional men in the country, and the only party
that hold to a just and equitable policy for all
sections Of the Union. They may be in a mi
nority; but there are likely to be enough Of
them to defeat the schemes of the intervention
lists, should they attempt to carry out their Sec
tional doctrines, the one to exclude and the
other to protect slavery in the Territories.

Wagon Road TO the New NIinos-the Eureka
Route.

Route
The recent discovery Of rich silver and gold
mines on the eastern slope Of the mountains,
and the prospect of that country soon being
settled by large and nourishing mining popu-
ation, has excited considerable attention In
different parts Of the State in regard to the
construction of transmontane wagon roads.
The residents of the different towns In the min
ing counties, are of course anxious to attract
as much Of the trade as possible, to and from
the new mines, through their own localities I;
and in the course of a year or two roads are
likely to be constructed at every available
point. The new mines extend from Honey
Lake to Walkers River, distance of over two
hundred miles, consequently number OF roads
will be absolutely necessary, aud no one of the
interior towns can expect to enjoy monopoly
of the trade with the mines on the other side OF
the mountains
Energetic measures are being taken in other
places for the construction Of roads to the new
diggngs, and Nevada should not be behind her
sister towns. We are informed that the most
practicable route from Nevada is that by way
of Eureka, and that the distance from here to
Silver City, or Virginatown, which is in the
vicinity OF the richest dgeings yet discovered,
is only about one hundred miles. The follow.
ing stations and distances on this route have
been furnished us, which we presume are not
fa ~ from nnrract
