SPEAKER or THE ASsEMBLY.-Mr. Conness is a
legislator Of large experience and probably the
best parlamentarian in the State. lie has always
been watchfu of the public interests; and in the
position of speaker, he would improve the fine
opportunity thus presented Of keeping close
watch on "Thieving Bill"-4mador Ledger.
Friend Springer, you are such phunny"
cuss. Do you mean to say that our next Assem-
bly, will boast member known by the beautiful
and euphonous sobrquet of Thieving Bill ?"
Or that if John Conness is elected speaker he
will keep an eye on all 4" thievng bls?" If the
latter, you are right, for last winter he watch
ed' and voted for most all Of that kind which
came before the Legisature--the Bulkhead, Lii
bel law, Auctoneer bill, City Water Front bill,
and others Of that ilk. Honest John Conness
BEAUTIFUL AND TRuE.-Well has q beautiful
writer said "Flowers are not trfes, as one might
know from the pains God has taken with them
everywhere moi one unfinished not one bearing
the marks of brush or pencil. Fringing the
eternal borders of mountain winters, gracing
the pulseless breasts of the old gray granite ;
everywhere they are harmonizing. Murderers
do not wear roses in their button holes. Williams
seldom train vines over cottage doors" And
another adds "Flowers are for the young and
for the old, for the grave and the gay, for the
living and the dead for all but the guilty, aud
for them when they are penitent.'

THE REASON WHY.-Not long since the propr-
etor of the Marysville appeal received note
from one of his subscribers, living in Nevada
county, telling him to discontinue his paper he
gives as reason for stopping the paper, that he
is too poor to take more than one paper, and that
he deems it his duty to patronize his local county
paper Now, that's u sensible fellow-he goes in
for sustaining and helping bis home iustiu-
tions." In commenting upon this mans good
reason, the editor of the Appeay uses the follow,
ing language, which we commend to all reflect
ing Trnitarians
He is a man Of rare good sense, and If every
newspaper subscriber was like him there would
lemore first class Journals in the land. and fewer
INDECENT publishers. The majority Of people do
not seem to know, that the way to make thr
home paper equal to any from abroad is to give
il a hearty support

Latest Pony Intelligence.

The last Pony Express of which we have any
account, reached Fort Churchill on the 10th.
The news is of little Importance, if we except the
secession movement, and even that don't amount
to much.
KANSAS troubles are said to be much exagge-
rated. Fort Scott has not been harmed and the
outlaws who were reported TO have invaded Mis-
souri, turn out to be u S. troops on their way to
Texas. Harvey had arrived at Fort Leavenworth
with company of dragons, and artillery. The
President is much perplexed at the state Of affairs
49,. THE rumor Of a blow-up in the Cabinet
proves to be premature. IN the South Carolina
Legislature bill was introduced to raise S4OO,-
900 for the purpose of arming the State. 1t was
believed the Governor would recommend the en-
couragement of a line of steamers, and direct
trade with Europe in his message. IN Balti-
more. Oct 2Gth, the Palmetto flag was raised by
Southern association, amid groans and Kisses ;
bark ran up the same colors, while other ship
pino displayed the stars and stripes. WALES,
the illustrious young Englshman, had reached
home
A later dispatch to the Union brings the fol-
lowing refreshing Intelligence from South Caro-
lima 1t is worth reading:
Dsunion is alarmingly on the increase. The
secession of South Carolina is considered certain.
Many Northern Republican journals urge the
greatest concessions to allay the storm. In bis
message, the Governor of South Carolina treats
secession as n fixed fact, and makes recommended
tions accordingly lie suggests Adams Expire ss
as a temporary substitute for the mails till some
arrangement be made with the Federal Govern
ment.

GoNG FAsT.-Mr. G. G. Briggs, proprietor Of
the Marysvile Mammoth Gift Entertainment,
advertised elsewhere, informs the Express that
out of 800 tickets only $4,000 remain to be
disposed of, and further tells how the drawing
will be performed:
"We shall have 3O7 800 numbers correspond
ing with the numbers of the tickets sold placed
in a wheel, or hollow cylinder. committee,
chosen by the audience will examine the num-
bcrs to be placed in the cylinder. The committee
will then draw out from the cylinder 4l2 num-
bers. The persons holding the tickets cores
ponding with the numbers drawn, will be the
lucky ones The first number drawn from the
cylinder will draw the first prize the second
number, the second prize and so on, until the
4l2 prizes are drawn. | hope | shall receive no

SERIOUS AFFRAY.-On Monday last very Sc
rious shooting and stabbing atIray occurred on
Indian creek From the examination before JUS
tice Maloney, of the assaulting party, we gather
the following facts:
A miner named Robbins owned, in conjunction
with another miner, claim on the creek For
some reason Robbins left the claim for month
or two his partner not being satisfied with his
absence, aud believing the claim jumpabe, sold
Robbins interest. On Monday Robbins armed
himself with knife and revolver and went upon
the claim. He found there at work two brothers
by the name of Scott, and a man named Wal
dron After some words he ordered Waldron to
leave he replied that be would not until he was
legally dspossessed. Robbins stopped as if to
get drink, and while in that position drew a
fveshooter, and Immediately upon rising pre-
sented it aud said ''then will make you 60,
aud instantly fired The ball lodged in Wal
dron's hip. and he fell. The two Scott's started
towards Robbins with their picks and shovels,
and after be had fred one or two Intellectual shots
succeeded in knocking the pistol from his hand.
One of the Scotl's then fred at Robbins without
effect Robbins drew his knife, and rushing mp
on Waldron, who was down, stabbed him in the
back, Just below the shoulder blade, and then left
the claim. He was arrested and examined before
Justice Maloney who held him to answer for as
sault with deadly intent. His bail was fixed at
500 WaldrOn is supposed to be in critical
situation. Robbins bear a good character as do
all the other parties Altogether it is a most un
fortunate affair
