ANOTHER ROAD TO WAsHoH.-A company is
being organized in the upper part Of Placer
county for tho purpose Of constructing turn
pike road from that locality TO the Washoe dig
gings. A public meeting was held at Forest
Hill on the llth inst, at which II was decided
that the capital stock Of the company should be
nxed at $4,000, to be divided into shares Of
500 each. Mr.. VIM. N. Lest was elected Pres
ident Of the company, R. J. Steele Secretary,
and s. s. Kennedy Treasurer; and books for
subscriptions to the stock Of the company are
to be opened at all the principal points in the
county. They claim that the nearest and most
direct route from Sacramento to the Washoe
mines is through Placer county, and that the
natural advantages OF that rouse are equal If
not superior to any other.

The Iowa DEMocRAoY-The Democratic
State Convention OF Iowa, to elect delegates to
the Charleston Convention, ia called to meet on
the 22d Of February, Ito day at Des Moines.
We have accounts Of the Conventions held in q
number OF the counties, all Of which have de-
elared for the nomination Of Douglas for the
Presidency, and il 10 the determination Of the
Iowa Democracy to send delegates to Charles
ton who will support, "nrst, last and ell the
time" the heroic champion OF Popular Sover-
eighty. The Dubuque Herald, an old and
stanch Democratic organ, alludng to the ac-
tion OF several County Conventions, says:
1t is very evident that the Democracy of
Iowa are decidedly for douglas and Popular
Sovereignty" and they will not rally to the
support Of any platform which will deny or ig.
more the doctrine Of the exclusive right Of the
Territories to regulate slavery to suit them
selves. And the position Of the Iowa Democ-
raey on this important question. is the position
OF the Democracy Of the entire Northwestern
States
Time was, and that, too, not long ago, when
politicians cared very little for the views and
opinions Of the States in this quarter OF the
Union but that time has passed. The seven
great and prosperous States, namely, Ohio, In
diana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa and
Minnesota, now possessing nearly One-thrd the
entire free white population Of this Union, are
bound to make themselves heard, and their
opinions respected both now and hereafter, and
the sooner politicians fully understand this, the
better.

The TEST ArPLIED.-Ssnator Pugh, Of Ohio,
has introduced bill into the U. s. Senate, re-
psaling 50 nuch Of the law organizing the Ter
ritory of New Mexico, as makes il necessary
for Congress to approve the acts Of the Terrific.
al Legislature. Tho New Mexico Legislature
has recently passed an act projecting slave
property In that Territory, but the act cannot
be enforced until approved by Congress. As
the Republicans are opposed to the people Of
a Territory having their own way about slav-
cry il is quite certain that their majority in the
House Of Representatives will not approve OF
the New Mexico law. The Southern ultras,
who are clamsring for Congressional prOtec-
tion to slavery in the Territories, are placed in
rather an awkward position. II they vote
down Mr.. Pugh's bill, they virtually kill the
slavery act Of New Mexico, BY rendering il nee.

THE SILVER ExCrrEnEnr.

The Sacramento Union, Of Monday, cautions
the public against putting too much reliance
In the reports now in circulation relative to
the silver and quicksilver discoveries which are
now creating so much excitement in some parts
Of this State. It states what We know TO be the
fact that the existence Of these mines were
known In California before the discovery Of
gold ct COlema. In the spring Of 1s4s, speci-
mems Of cinnabar from mines that had been dis
covered in the hills above Sonoma, and silver
ore in considerable quantities. taken from
number Of veins that had been found some.
where in the vicinity Of San Jose and Santa
Cruz, were exhibited in San Francisco. The
discovery Of the gold mines were made public
not long after, and for a month or two at least
there was considerable speculation In San Fran
cisco as to the comparative value Of the seVs-
raj discoveries. Silver ore, taken from vein
not far from San Jose was tested during the
spring Of l84o, and had It contained a sufficient
amount Of tho metal to pay for extracting, the
proprletors would doubtless have taken meas
ures 10 work the mine. We have ne doubt that
the quicksilver mines which are now creating
so much excitement in Napa and Sonoma coun-
ties. are the identical mines which we're diseov-
cred In the winter or spring Of 1848. We can
not say as to whether the ere was submitted to
proper tests at that time. The parties interest
ed were certainly making arrangements to test
its value, and they had ample time for that
purpose before there was any great excitement
about the gold mines.
It IL not at ell improbable that quicksilver
mines, as rich as the New Almaden, may exist
in Sonoma and Napa counties, but it appears
that Of oil the specimens that have recently
been tested nothing has been found that would
pay for working.
Telsgraphic dispatches from San Francisco,
state that an immensely rich silver mine has
just been discovered at the Preside, near that
city; but the story was doubtless started for
speculative purposes. As long as men can be
found who are ready to pay large sums Of
money for silver mines that they have never
seen, there will be no end to these discoveries.

LETTEr FROM RED DOG.

RED Doc, Feb Z0th 1850.
Editor Democrat How comes it that in your
valuble paper, our thriving and populous village
never has an item recorded in its favor. We have
all the ingredients necessary to procure US first
rate notice. The waters Of the great Yuba, divert
ed from the course nature intended them to pursue,
are now safely corTaed in reservoirs on the summit
Of Chalk Bluff; all this has been accomplished BY
the industry and energy Of our indefatgabe miners.
Then our village has changed its picturesque ap-
pearance. One by one the old land marks disap-
pear; even the old fume which once adorned and
ornamented our town, by being erected in the centre
Of Main street, has been removed. Every thing be-
tokens prosperity. We have one brick building,
and Messrs. Chew & Bro. have lately erected
large two story frame house on the corner Of Main
and Nevada streets, which is now occupied as the
Globe Hotel. You people Of Nevada seem to live,
breath and exist as II no such place Red Dog had
a post Office and Justice Of the Peace and imag-
inc you have no knowledge Of slim meeting Of the
black Democracy, held here on Saturday last; or,
that they elected Messrs Cook, Catstt and Gear to
represent them in the National Administration y!
Convention, to be held in Nevada this week; or,
that they instructed them, that II 1t was satisaeto

servatives is stated at i've thousand men. Dis.
patches from New Orleans, received by the last

Of the Liberal party; but as no dates are given
we are unable to determine whether this has
reference to the same engagement in which
Airamon was reported to be defeated.

EXECUTIONS AT STooKToN.-Thos Crawford
and VIM. Croissin were executed in the Jail yard at
Stockton, the 17th inst-the former for the muir
der Of John B. Lewis and the latter for the murder
Of John v. Ford. About fifteen persons were ad-
mitted within the yard while the tops Of the neigh
boring houses that could command view OF the
scafod, were crowded with spectators. Crawford
addressed few words in low tone to the Sheriff,
to the effect that he died innocent Of any intent to
commit murder, and that he shot Lewis in mo-
ment when al consciousness Of what he was doing
had left him. Croissn exhibited great nervousness
but he spoke freely with the clergy and those who
came upon the platform to bid him good-by.

CALIFORNIA CLIMATE-Bayard Taylor, in his
late work on California, says:
"The most agreeable zone Of climate is that
where the olive, fig and orange win grow m the
open air. Here the springsare delicious, the sum-
mers long and with less extremes of heat than ours
the autumn, mild and balmy, and the winters bare
" cold enough to brace and stimulate the system.
To this zone belong Spain, Italy Greece, Palestine
California and Texas. have visited all except the
latter and unhestatingy give the preference to Cal
ifOrnia. II more equable, genial and healthy cli-
mate exits, know not where it is to be found.
Here the air, even in summer, has dryness and
purity which take away all tropical languor from its
truly tropical heats. The winters are green and
mild, and the springs foretaste Of paradise. The
interior of Texas is said to be similarly favored with
regard to climate"

a singular and fatal accident which happened re-
Gently in that town. A young man named William
Scarborough, either fell or was knocked down in the
street Sunday night, the 18th inst, where he re-
mained until about four o'clock the next morning,
when it was found that his leg between the knee
and ankle was badly broken. The broken limb was
set, and on the succeeding Thursday, consultation
Of physicians was held, when it was decided that
amputation could not save the life Of the patient,
and he died on Friday. The circumstances attend
ing the accident are shrouded in mastery. The de-
ceased is said to have been native Of Lynn, Mass,
where he is supposed to have father now living.
