DENcY, IN ls6Q.-It is getting to be pretty gen.
orally conceded that Mr.. Crittenden, of Ken
tucky, is to be the opposition candidate for the
Presidency in 1860. Mr.. Seward, it is under
stood, has become convinced that lie went be
the candidate, and has declared in favor of the
kentuckian as the man most likely to unite the
opposition elements both at the North ard the
South into consolidated party Bolts, of
Virginia, is the only formidable antagonist to
Crittenden, and the contest for the nomination
will be between them. In cass Critteuden shall
be nominated, Henry S. Lane, of Indiana, it is

DEATH OF CHILD.-A singular and melan-
choly death of young child recently occurred
while its parents were conducting it across Scott
mountain, on their way to Shasta. 1t appears
that the mother wrapped 1t up closely that it
might not suffer from cold, when at last the ex-
traordinary silence of the child excited curiosi-
ty, and upon unwrapping, they found it dead
smothered as was supposed. The parents of the
child were lately IN charge Of the Yreka Hotel

WAGEs.-Wthin the last six months wages
have fallen considerably. Three dollars a day
for good hand is what most of the large mi
ming companies pay, and any number may be
employed at any rate. The price for all sorts
of work in the mines has fallen pFoportionatey,
and hence, leads which six months since would
have ruined their proprietors, will now pay hand
some profits. The prices for all sorts of labor,
and for all means in the production of gold, is
growing less, and the profits to proprietors of
mines necessarily increases. Whether this is
beneficial to the country, we leave the political
economists to discuss. That the working pop
ulation think it great disadvantage is certain,
and the outbreaks against Chinese miners show
that the white miners see the future Importance
of the question. "Chna diggings" are becom-
ing valuable, and white men no longer sneer at
the Johns, who work for mere subsistence

FROM PARAGUAY.-The dates from the Para
quay Expedition are TO the 4th January. Com-
missioner Bowlin and the commander of the
squadron had gone to have an interview with
Lopez. The general opinion was that the o. S.
squadron is inadequate, because only few of
the vessels could ascend the river.
Paraguayan steamer had gone up the river
with chain to place across it, and impede the
progress of the United States vessels. a French
and an English steamer had also gone up the
river. 1t was supposed the mission of the latter
was to demand indemnity in the case of the
British schooner recently seized by Lopez. 1t
was said that Lopez had ten thousand men un-
der arms The preparations for war were pro-
ceeding at rapid pace: and the official organ
of the Dictator, whose leaders are said to be
written by Lopez himself is uusparng in its
denuncations of the American Government
