NEVADA, WEDNESDAY, AUG. "a, 1859.

CANvAssNG THE CouNTY.-Mr. S. II. Chase,
the Democratic candidate for State Senator,
passed through town yesterday, on his way to
Hunts Hill, where be had an appointment to
speak last night. He spoke atSouth Fork, Eu-
reka, and Washington, as per appointments,
and his remarks were listened to by nearly all
the residents of those places. Mr.. Hupp ad-
dressed the citizens Of Columbia Hill on Friday
evening, but his appointment at San Juan, for
Saturday evening, was postponed in conse-
quence of another political meeting being held
the same evening. Our candidates and others
who have been canvassing the county, bring us
favorable reports from the several townships,
and with proper exertion from this until the day
Of election, the success Of our entire county
ticket 10 placed beyond doubt. The Democ.
rscy have lost nothing in any of the townships.
since the election of last year, and in some Of
the townships we shall make large gains.

COMMERCE or TEE UNITED STATEs.-From Of
Heial statements made up at the Office Of the
Secretary of the Treasury, it appears that the
exports Of merchandise aud specie from the
United States, for the fiscal year ending June
S0ih, 1859, amounted to $246, $50. .l94; import,
for the same period, $233, 49,, ,27s-sbowing q
balance in favor Of the United States of $1s,.
4s7,9l6. The total exports and imports are
respectively less than for any year since 1851
II We exclude the exports and imports of specie,
as il is only means Of paying q balance Of
trade, we find that the imports exceed the ex.
ports by over twelve millions Of dollars, for
the last fiscal year.

THOSE QUEsTIoNs.-Tbe Grass Valley National
fasors us with some queries relating to Kent
and Palmer. We have made enquiries, and
from counsel and jurors, We learn that 10 1855
Middleton Il Riley and MeAllister Il Kent herd.
ed and corraled their cattle together; that each
Of these firms killed one or two animals day
in the same building, and that the butchers Of
both generally united in killing; that in thus
butehering herd Of some sixty cattle, Middle.
ton b Riley alleged that one Of their oxen wal
killed by McAllister d Kent's men. They 40
cordingy brought civil action for the value
Of the OF aud recovered 9 judgment agains
AcAllister i Kent which they paid. As to the
burning Of hide, there was nothing of th,
kind shown, nor was ii pretended by any on,
that either McAllister or Kent had themselve,
any thing TO do with the killing. The scaven.
ger Of the Maternal must be close to the bed
rock when he resorts to such weapons.
By the way, why does not the present lie.

ent efncient District Attorney, take this matter
in hand. He might realize from its successful

The SAN JUAN ISLAND AFFAIR.-Ths Eumor
published in our last weeks issue, TO the effect
that the British steamer Satellite had thrown
shells upon the San Juan Island, killing thirty
Americans, turns out to be untrue. At the Ia
test dates from Victoria, every thing was quiet
and no collision anticipated. The report that
four companies of U. S. troops had been order
ed to the Island, from Fort Vancouver, is con-
firmed. The taking possession OF the disputed
Island, by Gen. Harney, will give the U. S.
Government no better title to it, but il will
lave tendency to hurry up settlement Of
she dispute.

ENRON DRMocRAT.-The people Of this pleas
ant little village were called upon this evening to
listen to an exposition of the doctrine OF the Le-
comptonites, by the candidates for Senator and Dis
trict Attorney respectively, upon that ticket The
gathering, though by means large one, contain
ed decided majority of the true democracy-and
YOUR correspondent gathered from the running COM
ments INDUCED in by the intelligent portion of
the audience during the various addresses, that the
mingled sophstries and falsehoods Of the speakers
had no effect upon them other than to inspire SUI
preme disgust at the shallowness Of the men who
we're thus attempting to throw dust in the eyes of
intelligent gathering of American citizens.
One portion of the speech Of the Lecompton NOM
inee for District Attorney, seems to deserve an es
pccial notice at the hands of your correspondence
for no other reason because of the originality of the
idea, and chGSte language in which it expressed
In speaking Of that valuable newspaper, the Sacra-
mento Union, Mr.. Maslin said:
"This paper-the Sacramento U,,ion-which by
its lewdness venality and corruption has done, and
is doing more corrupt public sentiment than halt
dozen brothels in every town in the State could
do"
Such efforts of forensic eloquence as the above,
interspersed with sanderous and vituperative abuse
of Mr.. Broderick, and an obscene story from Dick
Moyes, constituted the "intelIectmal repast" with
which the citizens of this place were this evening
regaled by the standard-bearers of the Lecompton-
ties and as you may readily suppose. ELECTED no
enthusiasm Yours, &c.

That POLL TAX REcEPr.-The Grass Valley
National lie still harping upon that poll tax re-
ceipt alleged to have been sold by Capt Hen
dersou, without being signed by the Auditor,
and asks us to explain. All that We know Of
this matter was derived from conversation
with the District Attorney some time since, and
that we gave two weeks ago. We have never
heard any one else allude to the subject. Mr..
Anderson Informed us that there was no charge
against Mr.. Brennan, the Assessor, that if any
one was TO blame it was the deputy who sold
the receipt. As Capt. Henderson is not can
didate for any Office, and the county ofieers are
all Informed on the subject, we have not deem
ed it necessary to investigate the matter. We
took it for granted that il there was any rea.
con to suspect that The county had been de-
frauded of its revenues. the District Attorney
would have the matter Investigated; il he has
not done so he has neglected his duties

ELECTIONS AT THE EAsT.-An election for
States officers and members Of Congress was
held in Kentucky on Monday the first inst, and
in Tennessee on the Thursday following. The
next overland mail will bring some returns
from Kentucky, and in the course Of another
week we shall doubtless know the result in both
States, unless the vote is very close. In Ken
tucky the only national issue agitated was as
to whether Congress should intervene for the
protection Of slavery in the Territories-the
Democratic candidates having generally adopt
ed the popular sovereignty platform. while the
opposition are clamoring for Congressional
slave code. In Tennessee, also, the Democratic
candidates have generally taken . much less
sectional position than their opponents; and the
success of the opposition in these States would
be regarded throughout the South as an en-
dorsement of the slave code doctrines Of JEFF
Davis, Brown, Hunter and other politicians Of
that class An animated canvass has been car.
ried on in these States, and both parties pro-
fessed to be confident Of success. Elections
were also held in Texas, Alabama and North
Carolina, about the first OF this month.

LATHAM, in his speech at Nevada, said he had

LATHAM, in his speech at Nevada, said he had
been charged in some parts Of the State with
getting drunk and abusing his family. The
speakers who have been stumping the State
say they never heard this charge mentioned,
and the papers in different parts of the State
declare that the charge was never heard Of in
their respective sections, until read in Latham's
speech. The people here have not forgotten
with what indignation Latham pronounced the
charge false, and how he complained of the in-
vason Of his fireside sanctuary. But it appears
he manufactured the charge against himself in
order to create sympathy. Did politician ey.
er resort to q more contemplate dodge?

ENCOURAGING TO TYPos-From the last issue
Of the Nevada Journal, we learn that that inst.
tuition, in the two months OF their career after
the fire Of 1856, wiped out a loss of $4,000,
and that this oblitcration of their losses was
entirely owing to the personal sxertions of N.
p. Brown, Esq. For the purpose Of showing
what could have been done if Nathaniel's wind
had lasted to the present time, we offer, Ia
Horace Greeley, few fgurea Thirty-six
months Of straight licks would give at that rate
one hundred and eighty thousand dollars
and If the other then members of the firm, who
are supposed to have witnessed without an ef-
fort these exertions of Natty, had let them
selves out, we have grand total of seven
hundred and eighty thousand dollars, profits,
Oejectine in silent contempt oil fractions as
the result Of one newspaper enterprise for three
years. Behind these figures we intrench our.
selves. They can parade their Allison Ranch
and Live Oak lea6s, but our contemporary cipher.
them into insignifcance. We are rather pleas
ed to learn, however, that Mr. Browns con,
necton with the Journal is at an end. Thai
paper should not make monopoly of his en-.
terprise, but should let him spread himself over
the country. In the present condition Of our
finances, we have no objection to one touch
from this little Midas, and will promise nice
nest to the golden goose Of the Journal.

U. S. soldiers under the command of Major Armis.
tead and the Mohave Indians, which took place on
5th of August about fifteen miles from Fort Mohaye
The battle lasted for several hours The whites be.

slain. Twelve whites were killed.

LrrrrR rrou HsRacr GREELrr.-In the Sac.

LETTER FROM HORAcE GREELEY.-In the Sac
ramento Union, Of Monday, we fnd letter
from Horace Greeley, addressed TO the editor
of the San Francisco Times, in which that gen.
tleman, after laying down bis own political
creed, gives his views as to the policy Of the
Republican party of this State. Greeley's own
views are pretty extensively known, and he
says truly that be has not seen them set forth
in the resolves of any Convention held this
year in California, or advocated BY any set Of
candidates The Republican candidates, he
says seem to have wed with the anti-Lecomp-
ton Democrats in proclaiming their devotion
to what is termed Popular Sovereignty, which
doctrine does not suit Greeley at all. Such be-
ing the case, he does not see the necessity Of
two rival State tickets in opposition to the Le-
compton Democrats. He thinks if he, holding
as be does to the doctrine of Congressional
prohibition Of slavery in the Territories, could
vote, as be did, for John B. Haskn, an anti
Lecompton Democrat, that the Republicans Of
California, who stand on their State platform,
should not hesitate to vote for ]. G. McKibbin,
unless party organizations are Of more account
than fundamental principles.
The opinion of Greeley is not likely to have
much weight with the remnants Of the Rspub.
lican party in this State, for they have already
announced, through their speakers and their
San Francisco organ that they would prefer
the success Of the Lecompton to the anti-Le-
compton party, and it is the opinion of well in
formed men that majority Of the Republicans
who intend 10 support their own State ticket
would vote for the Lecompton candidates pro-
vided their own were withdrawn from the field.
AS the Republican candidates in general will
get but very small vote, such OF that party as
honestly prefe the election Of McKibbin to
Scott and Burch will Of course vote for him.

REPUBLICAN MEETMG.-Mr. p. II. Sibley, one
of the Republican nominees for Congress, de-
livered a speech in this place last Friday eve
ning The meeting was small and but little en-
thusiasm exhibited. That portion Of bis speech
which we heard, was devoted to denouneing
Douglas, Broderck, and McKibbin. He under
took to make out that the Republican was the
only true Popular Sovereignty party, and ex-
planned his position in substance as follows
He is in favor Of allowing the people of the
Territories to govern themselves as long as
they exclude slavery by their local laws; but
should the people of any Territory attempt to
introduce slavery, then be is in favor of Con-
gress intervening to exclude the institution; he
insists on the constitutional right of Congress
to legislate on the domestic institutions Of the
Territories, 60 that in case his party deem it
necessary, and have the political power they
can call on Congress to intervene to exclude
slavery. Messrs. Stanford, Tracy, and other
Republican speakers, with the exception of Col
Baker, advocate a similar political creed, and
we can see no practical difference between their
principles and those advocated by Greeley
They propose to accomplish the same end by
different means, if it can be done, but if not
then they are ready to adopt the means pro-
posed by Greeley. The principles OF the Lie
complexities are similar to those Of Tracy, Sib-
ley L Co. They are for non-intervention, un-
less the people of the Territories shall attempt
to exclude slavery; in that case, they hold that
Congress should intervene to protect the insti-
tuition. The only true Popular Sovereignty
party in the country are the anti-Lecompton
Democrats, who hold that Congress should not
intervene, either to protect or exclude slavery
in the Territories, but that the people thereof,
have the right, and are fully competent, to reg.
late their own domestic affairs.

The State Census.


w. q. llCNT. Esq, the Deputy Secretary
of State, has furnished the Columbia Guar
d'an with an abstract of the State census of
1859. Returns from several of the districts
are not in, but there is sufficient before us for
the purpose in view. There has been grad.
ual increase in population in most of the dis
trcts.
Comparisons are not generally very COM
piimcntary, and parallels often abound in
facts and substantial argument that arc not
rchshed. We do not seek an advantage un-
der either, but rather spread such information
as we have before the public, and let it be
applied in the readers own way. There arc
only three districts in the State ahead of
Pickcnsin pointof population, to wit: Charles
ton, Spartanburs and Edgcfcld; and the two
latter only by a few hundred each. Thc
white population of Spartanburs is 1918,
and that of Edgcfcld, lj,434 Pickcns,
l5.ll0.
1t is apparent, therefore, that the people
of this district hold their temporal destiny,
in great measure, in their own hands. Let
the watchwords of her sons henccforth be-.
