A New SYSTEM OF MINiNc.-The
HydrenIie Press, of North San Jaun,
Nevada county, gives the following des-
crption Of some extensive mining oper+
tions in thar neighborhood:
Moore and Bradshaw have exploded
novel bauk blast in their claims. They
first sunk shaft thirty feet deep, sixty
feet back from the face Of the bank !
from the bottom Of that.ran small drift
for some twelve feet, and at right an
Gle from that drift auother otle only
eight or ten feet long, placing at the
end Of the latter three hundred pounds
of powder. After laying safety fuse,
which was drawn through lead pipe from
the powder up through the shaft to the
surface, so as to be waterproof. the DRIFT
was then filed with dirt, tightly packed
and the shaft was filled With water.
which of course, is more dense and pom
derous than earth would be. The fuse
wus then lighted Wheu the charge
was reached and exploded, it made y
noise like the roar Of artillery and shook
the hill from end to end, distance of
at least half mile, jarring sensibly all
the houses in towu. The water In the
shaft accompanied by earth and stones,
was thrown into the air, in u straight
column, two hundred feet high, emptyihg
the shaft completely. The earth around
the mouth Of the shaft cracked jnst as
rock does about drill hole, and the
entire bank, which is very hard, .aas
cracked through ana through, SO it
will yield quite readily 10 the spplics-
tioD of water. This is consi lered the
best mode OF bank blasting yet hit upon:
When drifts are run in from the face
of the bank Il ey cannot be tampcd
tight enough, and great deal OF tn"
expansive force Of the explosion is lost
through them.

the Sickles trial, from the Overland

Washington, April 20.
There is fair prospect of speedy
termination Of this protracted trial. It
is expected that if the decision of the
Judge on the instructions prayed for be
not very adverse to the prisoners cause
the case will be submitted to the jury
without farther summing up. in which
case verdict will probably be returne d
on this, the twentieth day of the trial.
The District Attorney this morning
resumed his argsment on the instruc-
ton prayed for. MIR. Ould concluded
his speech at half-past one o'clock.
The Court granted the instructions
prayed for by the prosecution with ex-
plantations, and admitted some, and re-
fused others, OF. the prayers by the de-
fence The strictest attention was paid
to this part of the proceedings. The
defence renewed the proposition to sub
nit the case without argument The
District Attorney concurred entirely in
this proposition.
At three o'clock the jury returned
amidst intense excitetn cut, and gave q
verdict Of mot guilty. The applause
was deafening-the audience huzzaiDg

GERMAr CITIZENS IN BosToN.-The
citizens of Boston, of German birth, have
held a meeting to take action in refer
ence to the amendment Of the Corstitu
ton OF that state, restricting naturalized
citizens from exercising the right of suf,
frage for two years after naturalization.
A lengthy series o: resolutions were a
dopted, in which 1t is declared that
1.-The amendment sins, in word, against
the princiles of the Declaration of Inde
dence, the Constitution, justice, liberty,
wisdom and enlightened humanity, and
subserve no other purpose but that Of
bribing, narrow minded, unjustifed
and pernicious prejudice of party, with
the ultimate end of despicable party
traffic. We emigrated citizens, haviug
neither provoked nor been responsible
for this amendment, cannot take any
position but which the violation Of cur
tights, the abuse offered to our lptelli-
gence and the blemish intended for our
birth, forces US to take. As long as the
Republican party does not resent and
reject this and similar restrictions of the
rights of emigrants, we renounce that
party, and assume position OF open
hostility to it.

MOONLIGHT MUs1czOne NIGHT this week

MOONLIGHT MUs1c.-One night this week
the Brass Band repaired quietly to the tree
crowned conical hill on the south side of
town, and just as the round, full moon rose
glowing behind the pines, burst forth into
music that glorifed the scene and thrilled all
who heard it. The invisible performers con-
tinued their strains for upwards of an hour,
extorting unheard thanks and admiration
At the risk ofbeing thought sentimental, we
pronounce this beautiful incident full
of poetry and religion. Ages ago, in the
valley of the Nile, the rising sun was daily
saluted by the statue of Memnon with tones
of melody, as if even stone could be moved
to articulate praise by the glory of the re-
turning day-god. How much more lovely
was it to greet the moon with exultant mu-
sic, as she rose from her secret place of hills
and shook her silver tresses through the
sky! The noisy village grew calm beneath
its baptism of sweet sounds, which fell like
perfumed dews, and when they ceased at
last-had ''into stiffness past again they
cleft want unknown before

NEvADA.-Great preparations are making
at the county seat to render the Odd Fellows
anniversary on Tuesday next an occasion of
interest and pleasure. At two o'clock there
will be procession of the members of the
Order assembled from all portions of the
county, and afterwards various exercises at
the Pavilion foot of Broad street. A. A Sar-
gent Esqr. will deliver an grafton, and there
will be singing and music from the Brass
bands. In the evening there will be a fine
ball.
We learn by the Journal that Anderson,
the great actor, and Miss Fanny Morant,
who accompanied him to this country from
New Orleans, are engaged to play at the
Metropolitan Theater for four nights, COM
mencing Wednesday next, when Mr.. Ander-
son will appear as Hamlet. We saw Mr..
Anderson frequently many years ago in New
York, and would go further than Nevada to
witness his noble acting again.

LECTUREs.-On Wednesday evening last
the Rev. D. A. Dryden, of Nevada delivered
in this place the first of course of four lee
lures for the benefit of the NJ. E. Church.
His subject was 'Ourselvesn-t is, the
people of California, their social, moral, po-
litical and physical characteristics and wants.
These were commented upon at length with
much force and earnestness, relieved by oc-
casional flashes of humor and laugh h-provok-
ing satire, which would have been more eff
fective had they not been read by the lectur-
er with his eyes hid from his listeners. The
view taken of our social-conditon was rather
gloomy, and we thought the lecturer hardly
appreciated the many sterling virtues which
our people really possess, nor the rapid i'm
provement which society is clearly undergo
ing. ~
The audience in attendance was numerous
and respectable, as all audiences are, and
as treated to some excellent music by a
number of ladies and gentlemen skilled in
the divine art. On concluding his lecture
Mr.. Dryden was warmly applauded.
The second lecture of the course will be
delivered by Rev. S. D. Simonds on next
Wednesday evening and the third and fourth
lecture, respectively, by Rev. Mr.. Briggs on
the lSth-and goth of May

he was on his way back this was on Satur-
day last, since which time nothing has been
heard of him. As he is supposed to have

have changed his mind suddenly and gone
to San Francisco. Our exchanges there will

NEARLY FIRE.-At the dwelling of Mr..
Richard Abbey, on Saturday last, some hot
fat caught fire on the stove, and an attempt
to extinguish it by throwing on water scat
tered the flames to an adjoining clothes clos

worth of clothing before they could be
.quenched. Mr.. Abbey also had his hand
considerably burned.
