&" 1t recognizes no act to be done touching
slavery, by the people or the Legislature of

THE CoFFRoTH FAMILY.-This is a political
household, like unto the Washbnrn family in
some respects, but unlike it in many others, in
asmuch as they don't always work together as
the Washburns do. We perceive that A. II. Cof-
forth of the 14th Congressional District, Pa,
and John Randolph Coffroth of the l1th Con-

Nous VERRoNs.

Mr.. EDITOR was shown few days since
machine for raising water, which bids fair to
be of great value in some localities. 1t is the
invention of gentleman of San Francisco
There is principle involved in it, but it
has an application of old principles somewhat
novel, at least to me. Perhaps description Of
it will be of some interest to the readers OF the
JOURNAL.
There is requisite, in the first place, stream
of water deep enough to float scow of suitable
size, and rapid enough to furnish the required
power to an undershot wheel. This wheel IS
placed at one end of the scow after the manner
of stern wheel propeller, so as to receive the
force of the current, and is attached by suitable
gearing to the pump which is stationed in the
scow. The scow is so moored with long cables
that it will float in the middle of the current,
and rise and fall with the water. From the
pump, discharging pipe conducts the water to
the tank, and to any hight, and in quantity lin
tied only by the power of the current and size Of
the pump.
| There seems no reason why this invention
should not be of great utility. Given the neces-
sary natural Prerequisites stream of sufficient
depth to furnish the power and current-and
water can certainly be raised in large quantities
and to a considerable height. There are plenty
of places where it can be applied to raising
water for mining purposes and for irrigation. A
short time hence this invention will be in tre-
| guent use.

COMMUNICATIONS.

Mr.. EDIToR:-I wish to direct the attention
Nevada JOURNAL for 1850, which exhibits the
fact that the fourth of July is coming, and to
mind them that this annual period is hailed with
feeling of pride and graduation by the lover
of freedom in every land, and specially is it re-
vered by all genuine hearted young well
as old Americans.
desire the citizens of Nevada to forget the
disgraceful failure made last year in the attempt
to celebrate the day here, and to determine that
this year such a gloomy quiet shall not reign in
our city. Let us in time prepare for demon
stration of such character as will bring glad
ness to the hearts of our people and reinstate
us in the good opinions of our neighborng
villages. We owe them feast of welco me; they
have heretofore entertained us bounteously, we
enjoyed their hospitality, and it is certainly our
duty to reciproeate, aside from the promtings of
| the glorious occasion itself which alone should
| incite US to make a visible and impressive note
of the day.
Mr.. Editor, be kind enough to suggest the
manner by which an effective and united action
can be secured in this matter. You made a
most commendabe move last year; it proved la
Dor lost. Hope for better results this year and
renew the effort more zealously. l think all
will contribute more literally than before and
Nevada will yet redeem ;rself.

BUNKER HILL CELKBRATIoS.-The whole
souled proprietors of the Bunker Hill mill, on
putting it in motion for the first time, on Mon
day last, invited their of friends to cold
collation. and the necessary liquids. We took a
look at the machinery on the occasion. The in
.t;tution ia the old Bunker Hill mill erected in
1852, reftted with new machinery throughout
The whole is driven by a mammoth oVershot
wheel of the most substantial and expensive
construction thirty -one feet and four inches IN
diameter. Twelve stamps and the necessary
amalgamating apparatus extracts the goiu' Inc
lead is paying one, and success IS promised tne
company in every part OF their premises our
readers are familiar with the operations OF the
old American Hill mill. The company, in order
to be nearer and more convenient to their lodges
removed from American Hill to Deer Creek, and
have fitted up a water mill, thereby saving a
great deal of expense by discarding steam. The
ledge can be worked by tunnel and the quartz
thrown directly into the mill without hauling
which is another important saving On starting
the mill on Monday last, the machinery was
found be most beautifully adjusted and worked
to g charm. The mammoth wheel turned rounC
rs true and regularly as the wheels of watch
whsreupon q splendid article of champagne
flowed as freely as water. Messrs. Soggs, Searls
Niles Co. are the proprietors of the concern
and good thing they have of it, too.
In 1852 sixty thousand dollars were spent OF
Al. prnLar Hill mill and ledge. and many o
the operators made themselves poor in conse
quence. The process of extracting gold from
rock was imperfect then, and many of the com
pany bursted not being able to make the rocl
pay. Since then Mr.. Soggs, with improved ap
paratus, has made the same rock productive an
the Bunker Hill mill has revived under splendi
auspices. Success to the enterprize.

What we Fight For !!

The Democracy are fighting for
the right of the people to make
their own laws in State and Terri
tory. They are fighting for the
great principle of mans capacity
to govern himself. This doctrine
was fought for in 1776, and the
people are now called to maintain
or reject it. Your fathers fought
eight years to establish and defend
it, and now will their son repudi-
ate the blood and treasure then
spent? True, it is, we have this
day two parties who obstinately de-
ny to the people the right of self
government, and claim that the
emigrants who go out from the va
rious States of the Union into the
Territories, and there settle and as
sumo the character of an organized
community, have not the right to
determine for themselves such civil
institutions and domestic policy as
they may want. One of these par
ties is headed by Lincoln, the other
by Breckenridge, although enemies
to each other they engage in a
scheme to wrest from the people
their rights. Aroused by their
plots hundreds and thousand who
never heretofore acted with the
national Democracy, have already
taken their stand manfully in the
ranks, and we firmly believe that
thousands upon thousands will yet
do SO, and that the people will up
hold the good old doctrine and tri-
umphantly elect its representative
men, Douglas and johnson.

The Issue.

The Issue. Jt's.' Ja
For more than two years, the
Administration, with all its tools,
in the shape of Postmasters and
other officials, have pursued Doug
las and his friends with q ven
geance unparalleled in the history
Of the country. No epithet has
been too severe and no abuse too
low and vulgar for them to heap
upon the head of the great states
man, who dared to defend the
right and oppose the perpetration
of a great wrong, attempted to be
inflicted upon the people of Kan
sas. by the Administration, For
his firm and unfinching adherence
to principle, he has been hunted
down by the minions of power; and
now that he is the candidate of
the Democratic party for Presi-
dent, they still pursue him, and in
order to crush him out, boldly pro-
claim that they will succeed in
their hellish work, no matter if
ruin to the party, and devasta-
tion to the country follow.
For this purpose they bolted
from the regular Convention at
Baltimore, and nominated Breck-
inridge and Lane. % ~ .e
The issue is so plain that it can
not be misunderstood-it must be
fairly and squarely met. The peo-
pie or the Federal office holders
must rule. That is the issue, and
it is for the freemen of this couptry
to say which shall govern. For
one, we have long since enrolled
ourelf on the side of the masses ;
and, as we have, for two years, bat
tied against the attempt of office
holders to rule them, so we intend
to do as long as we have a voice in
the politics of the country. This
will be our position, no matter who
may be in power. The time has
come when the question must be
met and decided. We took our
stand with Douglas at the start,
and stand with him to-day, and
intend to remain by him until the
bitter end. We do not desire to be
counted as one of the latter dag
saints. 8. .'.. .f"f -H#
