Another lot of negroes, numbering some
seventy five, left Yesterday on the steamer
New Falls City. These negroes are in fine
condition, physically speaking. The lot is
made up Of several small lots, shipped by
different traders TO Southern market, and
it appeared to us that females and children
comprised the majority Of the namber.
The long row Of sooty faces, arranged
along the boats hurricane deck, and gazing
quietly on the wharf, taking nearly their last

Keitt with terrific emphasis on the final
word. His speech was in the highest style
Of negro eloquence, and traveller jus, re-
turned from Africa, who happened to be in
the gallery, remarked that his arguments
were nearly identical with those Of afamous
Ashantee orator, whom he had heard at a
great palaver at Coomassie, urging the chiefs
to invade and conquer neighboring country.
1t is confidently asserted, on Democratic au-
thority, that great dissension exists in the
party here on the subject Of Cuba.
The more prudent leaders are beginning to
be startled at the wildness of the projects
which their less cautious associates are
broaching. They may want, and the Presi-
dent wants, to have thirty millions to dis
pose OF. That sum, or portion OF ii at
least, would be Of great service in the APP
preaching Presidential contest; but they are
not quite ready for Wusade against Great
Britain, France and Spain.
The Speaker has still under consideration
Sherman's Committee to look into the corr
ruption in the Navy Yards. 1t is understood
that the committee will consist of two Dem.
ocrats, two Republicans and one American.
The Democrats evidently have no appetite
for the investigation to which they have been
invited.
The debate on the Diplomatic bill shows
that strong inclination exists in the House
to suppress oil Foreign Missions except a
half dozen irst-olass ones like those Of Eng
land, France and Spain.
The trouble among the Democrats about
the tariff increases. The leading appropria-
ton bills will have hard work TO get Through

COLONEL BAKER.

This gentleman made speech at Forest
Hill the other night-a very pretty, wordy,
flowing speech. He told some anecdotes,
that tickled the "boys" hugely-the men OF
the common understanding" he 80 frequent
" speaks of-but he failed to convince one
thinking man.
The Col. also spoke at Michigan Bluff and
Dutch Flat, in this county. At the former
place, as at all points where be has made
speeches, he electioneered for h'nesey alone.
He said not word for his colleague, Sibley,
or Stanford and the other nominees upon
the Republican State ticket. He cajo!ed the
miners by saying he had been much among
them. and believed he understood their wants
as well as any other man in the State. DE
also tried little stage effect, that told upon
the groundlngs. An American flag was sus'
pended above the platform, behind the speaker
and after abiding to the time honored stars
and stripes in patriotic strain, he turned
and grasped the folds Of rye American flag
aforesaid" much to the gaping admiration
of his followers. i
We dislike to make an unkind remark Of
political opponent, but from all we have
heard of Col. Bakers speeches in this county
we are constrained to believe that he pos
sesses the qualifications to make No. !
demagogue.

Sibley in Marysville.

The Marysvlle Express says of Mr.. Sib-
leys speech at the Republican meeting in
that place on Tuesday evening, that "Mr.
Sibley was present and proceeded to address
the people on the topics Of the day. He
made a straight out Republican speech and
called upon his Republican friends to stand
by their principles, He said much had been
said about fusion, but he would never con-
sent to it until Joe McKibben would publicly
abandon the Democratic party, and satisfy
him that he would not have anything to do
with the Charleston Convention. Mr.. Nc
Kibben must first satisfy him that he accept.
ed Republican principles, and would work in
their behalf. Then, and not till then, would
he withdraw. Col Baker might vote fol-
him but be never would. That he was Re-
publican from principle, and he voted fol
principle and not for men,"
We shall see whether Mr.. Sibley will
make his words good, and require, before
Withdrawing from the canvass, pledge from
McKbben that he will have nothing to dc
with the Charleston Convention, and will
accept and work in behalf of Republican
principles. If Sibley can accomplish that
he brings the Brodericktes to their knees.

Mr.. Horace Greeley on Fusion.

Mr.. Horace Greeley has come out all the
way from New York as political mission.
airy to instruct us poor benighted heathens
of the Pacific coast in the way we should 60.
When it was asserted that Mr.. Greeley was
coming to California upon political crusade,
the charge was taken in high dudgeon by
Mr. Greeley's friends; they claimed that he
was visiting the country, as he had visited
Europe, to crafty a laudable curiosity, and
that as a talented and accomplished gentle
man, free from party faint, he was entitled
to be received with the universal homage
accorded to genius. In this way the attempt
was made to obtain for Mr.. Greeley COM
plimentary reception without regard to par
ty distinctions. We believe very few Dem
ocrats were ''roped in" by these protesta
tons, and the event has justified the suspi-
cicn with which they viewed the attempt to
secure their countenance for the most bitter
and most fanatica foe of the Democratic
party.
Mr.. Greeley has addressed letter to the
advocates the right of the negro to exercise
the elective franchise, and the power and du-
ty of Congress to exclude slavery from the
Territories. He derides popular sovereignty,
by name, and yet he advises his Black Re
publican friends to disregard their solemn
pledge to Mr.. Sbley, a man Of their own
party, and vote for McKibben, who according
to Mr.. Greeley's views, is Numerically op-
posed to them. Honest, consistent, upright,
virtuous Mr.. Greeley! Here is another
"good man" to be added to the long list Of
worthless that adorn the mingled ranks Of
the Broderickites and the Republicans.
The fact is, Mr.. Greeley cares as much
about California as be does about Kamschat.
ka; but in the event of the Presidential cleo.
ton coming into the House Of Representa-.
tives, he and his party would find it very
convenient to have the voice of California
suppressed, even if McKibben could not be
persuaded to vote for Black Republican.
1t is for this reason that Mr.. Greeley recon.
mends the Republican party to fuse with the
Anti-Lecomptonites upon McKbben and
Baker. No man can ever pretend to the
name of Democrat who votes for professed
Republican for Congress, when by that vote
be may put Black Republican in the Pres
idential chair. Sac. STANDARD.

Fusion.

A little while ago the Republicans Of CAL
ifornia declared they would adhere strictly to
their organization in the presen: canvass, aud
we did expect they would make square
fight. But Father Greeley, who says he can
see but little difference between the Repubi-
cans and Brods here, advises fusion on the
Congressional ticket, and straightway there
is a general climbing down On the part OF
his Independent (!) followers. For some days
the two forlorn squads have been making
overtures, but the terms are not fully settled
To-day will probably consummate the trade
Sibley and Booker are to be thrown over
board, and Baker and McKibben retained.
If the bargain is made the Brods will sue
coed in getting the advantage, as they die
last season.

Grand jury Report.

To the Honorable Court Of Sessions OF the
County Of Placer and Of California.
We the Grand Jury, for the August term
of said Court, for the year 1859, respect
fully Report:
That being empannelled and instructed
according to the requirements OF the stat
ute on the morning of Monday, the 10Th
day of the present month, we Immediately
entered upon the discharge of the duties
devolving upon US according to law and our
oathss and have continued in daily session
up to and including goth inst.
We have found eight bills Of indictment,
and one presentment, as follows viz: One
bill for murder in the first degree; Two bills
for assault with deadly weapon, to do great
bodily injury; One bill for Assault and Bat
tery: Three bills for Grand Larceny; and
one bill for burglary. And we have ignored
bills in four cases. We have also found one
presentment as an Accessory to murder,
after the fact"
We also visited the County Jail, and found
thirteen prisoners incarcerated therein. The
general condition of said prisoners appear
healthy and clearly; and the manner in
which the Jail is kept reflects much credit
upon the officers in charge. The Honorable
Court having given us especial charge as to
the books of the several county officers, we
have made more thorough and critical ex-
animation of them then has been the Gus.
tom of the Grand Jurors of this County for
considerable time past; and we have been
unable to detect any thing that would show
any malfeasance in Office; but on the con-
trary, the books of the several officers pre-
sent uniform, neat and creditable appear
ance. This Grand Jury did not however,
deem it incumbent on them to carry said in
vestigation back TO the term Of the present
incumbents.
The G and Jury also Report that they
visited the County Hospital, and found the
condition of the rooms to be very good, as
to cleanliness and proper ventilation &c, and
what is deemed the best possible test, the
patients unanimously spoke in the highest
terms of praise Of the manner in which
they are treated by DR.. j. Marks, the Coun-
ty Physician.
The Grand Jury feel it duty incumbent
on them before closing their Report, to
again call the attention of the Board Of
Supervisors to the absolute and urgent me-
cessi:y Of providing suitable fire-proo'
vault for the safekeeping Of the various books
vouchers, &C., belonging to the county.
All Of which is respectfully submitted
and believing they have discharged all the
duties devolving on them, they now ask tc
be discharged.
