MODEL or SoLoxoN's TxNPLE.-We acknowl-
edge the receipt of complimentary ticket Of
admission to the exhibition of the model Of
Solomon's Temple, at San Francisco. From
the descriptions we have seem in the Bay pa
pers, we judge it to be beautiful work o: art,
as well as truthful representation of the fa-
nous Temple of antiquity. Rev. 1. s. Delhi,
who attends the exhibition as lecturer, informs
US in note, that it has been visited by over
$4,000 persous, aud given good satisfaction.
It is shortly to be taken East, and from thence
to Europe.

NEVADA, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 20. 1859.
Fourth OF July.

The approaching national anniversary viii
be observed by the citizens Of Nevada county
with more than usual interest. There will be
no public celebration at this place, but nearly
sll our citizens intend to observe the day in
some way-eitber by excursions in the coun-
try, or by attending the celebrations, balls, &C.,
ct other places. Perhaps the Nevadans will
enjoy themselves better, on the whole, than
they would had a celebration come OF here;
but il would have been much more creditable
TO the town, to have got up proper obser-
vance of the day at home.
The citizens Of North San Juan held meet
ing on Sunday evening Of last week, and took
energetic measures for getting up an appropri-
ate demonstration. The celebration will con-
siat of an oration, ode, reading of the Declara-
tion, and other exercises to conclude with .
free barbecue. At an adjourned meeting, on
Thursday evening, q committee reported that
81 900 had been subscribed to defrsy the ex-
penses, the most of which had been paid down.
The people of San Juan are enterprising pub
lic.sprited, and patriotic, and there 10 no doubt
that their celebration will be got up in cred
liable manner.
We notice that the citizens Of Sweetland and
Birchville have Joined in celebrating the day,
at spot selected about midway between the
two places. A pavilion, thirty by seventy feet
10 to be erected at the place selected, and the
celebration is to consist of q picnic, and ball.
The proceeds of the ball are to be devoted to
erecting school house. ...
Messrs. Huff Il Sherman, of Omega, have
made arrangements to give ball ct that place
on the evening OF the 4th; and We are assured
that it will come off in good style. Mr.. Van
derleith is also preparing to give dinner at
his house. on the Washington road, where the
people have determined to indulge in some
old-fashioned sports. This place is just far
enough from Nevada for pleasant morning
ride. t ru

r. T. SrRAGUE.-The Shasta Courier. an Ad
ministration paper, thus speaks Of Mr. Sprague
the Democratic nominee for Supreme Judge:
OF the candidate taken from this county for
the exalted position of Supreme Judge, Roya
T. Sprague we have not word to ray that is moi
eulogi-tic of him as man. and commendaiory
of his qualifications for the office. We believe
him honest aud capable. and while in an or
ganization which cOmpels us to oppose his elee-
tion will never do so by detracting in the slight
est particular from his exalted worth.
The Shasta Herald also an administration
paper, has the following:
For Supreme Judge, our townsman. Hon. R
T. Sprague, was placed in nomination. M
name could have been placed on their ticket
that would have added 10 il more strength. II
il were possible for his party TO succeed in this
State, they would elect gentleman who would
be an ornament TO that position. He is con-
sistent aud reliable in h:s course. and was new
er known to shirk or fail to advocate the cause
and principle he believes to be right.

MErEoR.-.A brilliant meteor was observed
BY many of the citizens of Placerville. about
ten o'clock, last Wednesday evening. The o.
server of Saturday, says:
The meteor was about the apparent bulk of the
full moon, and was so intensely brilliant that sur.
rounding objects weresas plainly visible as at noon
day. Attention was first directed to this strange OBJ
ject by dull, roaring sound overhead, and BY the
vivid glare of light which instantly followed. The
body swept quite across the heavens from northeast
to southwest at an unusually slow pace, occupying
fully quarter of minute in the transit The light
which it emitted when at the zenith was Of blush
cast but as it descended towards the horizon, the
meteor exploded and fell to the earth in fragment:
of deep red hue. For nearly an hour after the me-
teor had disappeared tits path through the heaven.

OREGON ELEcrIoN-The election in Oregon,
for member Of Congress- took place on Mon
day. The contest was between Lansing Stout,
the nominee Of the Democrats, aud David Lo-
gan, Republican. Heretofore Oregon has been
Overwhelmingly Democratic-the opposition
not having sufficient strength to keep the DEM
ocrats united. According to the statements of
letter writer's, however, there is now pEebs.
bility that Logan will be elected, in eonse-
quence ofa large portion of the Democrats be-
ing dissatisfied with the manner in which Stout
was nominated. Some scattering returns will
be received in day or two from the extreme
southern portion Of the State, by telegraph
from Yreka, and from the north BY the steam
ers from Portland; but the State is large and
sparsely settled, and should the vote be any
ways close, the result will not be definitely
known for several weeks

DEcIINED-Mr. d. r. Ashley, the Democrat
ic nominee for State Treasurer, has declined
being cand date for the position. In letter
to the State Central Committee. he says:
From the newspapers l learn that by the
Democratic State Convention, conve ened at Sac
ramentO on the 18th Instant, was nominated
for State Treasurer: but as there is no prOpri-
ETY. in running for an Office would not assume

Of that passive character, the nomination is not
accepted
A meeting of the State Central Committee ia
to be held at Sacramento on the 7th of July,
and it will devolve upon that body to select O

Escap. Of State Prison Conviets.

BY telegraph to the Sacramento papers, we
have intelligence that large number Of the
State Prison convicts made their escape on Sat

dangerously wounded. According to the dis
patch 10 the Union forty of the convicts es.
capped but other reports place the number as
high as eighty. It appears that about hun.

walls, and seized the rifles and revolvers oftwo

pot, when the prisoners turned upon them
with clubs, stones, and such other missiles a'
they could obtain. The guards fred, killing five

Arrival OF the Salt Lake Mall.


BY the arrival of the Salt Lake Mail, We
have some Interesting Intelligence from the
plains.
About three hundred Pixies Peak emigrants
bad arrived at Salt Lake 10 desperate and
destitute condition, on their way TO California,
and two thousand more were reported on the
way. Much trouble is anticipated with them,
in consequence of their destitution.
There was considerable excitement at Salt
Lake on the 14th inst, occasioned by Capt. An
derson's Company Of dragons camping on an
open barren field, about four miles from the
city. A Mormon came into the camp and re-
quested Capt. Anderson to remove his camp, as
it was pitched on bis wheat field" The cap
sain refused, and the man becoming insolent,
was put under guard. When the news reached
the city all Mormondom was in tremor. Gov.
Cumming was applied to, and undertook the
job of setting the man free. by writing note
to Capt. Anderson. which did not have the de-
sired effect At ii p. NJ, the city was filed
with armed horsemeu, under command of Gen.
Wells. the second dignitary in the church and
every Gentle in the city buckled on his armor
TO assist Capt. Anderson. who lay short dis
tance from the city. Things continued in this
way until about A. M, when Judge Sinclair,
upon an affidavit being filed, issued writ of
habeas corpus for the prisoner, placed it in the
hands of Marshal DObson, who repaired to the
camp, and into whose hands the prisoner was
promptly delivered by Capt. Anderson. The
reason given by the Mormons for having arm
ed horsemen on the streets, was that they cx-
pected the Governor to call on the Nauvoo Le-
giOn as posse. and they wanted to be ready.
The Mormons undertook to have Capt. Ander-
son arrested, but both Judges refused to issue
q warrant.
Three or four hundred apostate Mormon fam
lilies were about to leave the Territory, for the
East under an escort of two companies of dra-
goons
