SENATOR DoUGLAs.-The Napa Reporter, Of
the 9th inst, in an article upon the Presidential
nomination, says:
The friends of Mr. Douglas are quite sanguine
that he has received the nomination, and indeed,
the late news from the East is very favorable. We
sincerely hope their anticpations may be fulfilled,
but must own that VIC have great fears Of his defeat
The truth is that Mr. Douglas has taken strong
positions and defended them manfully and consis-
tently for the last twelve years The very herceness
of the conflict which has made him great, has also
made him many enemies. There is no non-com-
m:ttalism in the man. Like Clay or Webster, he
has strongly maintained his opinions and proclaim
ed them to tie world. Neither Clay nor Webster
could win the Presidency for this reason, and Mr..
Douglas may fail from the same cause. lie never
made friend or avoided an enemy by shrking an
issue; but has ever held position OF bold, out
spoken independence-nay, almost Of defiance. The
result is that in his party, especially among the
smaller fry Of politicians, he has made many enc
mics. But moro than all; he has arrayed against
him for the last three years the gigantic power OF
the Federal Administration. Every means within
the reach Of Mr.. Buchanan has been brought to
bear against Mr.. Douglas in all parts OF the Union,
and large portion Of the members OF the Conven-
ton but represent the yindctiye will OF the Execu-
tive. While therefore, we believe that Mr.. Douglas
is not only the most meritorous, but actually the
most popular man in the Union-were the question
of his nomination left TO the peope--wc shall not
be surprised il prove true that he has been defeated
by the Vaccinations Of his enemies in the Conven-
ton. Still hope not, and shall cling to our hope
till the arrival Of the sets the question at rest

STOCKTON MUNICIPAL ELEorIoN.-At the mu-
nicipal election recently held in Stockton on
the 7th inst, the candidates on the Citizens
ticket were all elected by an average majority
Of two to one. DR.. +. S. Holden was reelected
Mayor. The Administration party held Con-
vention and made regular nominations, but on
ly one OF their candidates was elected, and his
name was on the Citizens ticket. Tho Repub-
lican attributes the defeat TO the unpopularity
Of some OF the nominees, which must certainly
be very consoling, to say the least The Argus
says the defeat was occasioned by the disgust
Of the citizens with the convention system.
The two candidates for Marshal had fight on
election day.

WALKERS RIvER-The Territorial Enterprise
of the 5th inst, speaking Of the Walkers river
mines, says:
The emigration there this year is immense.
We bave conversed with many who have been
there this year. Some think it is good place,
others curse it. From what informationwe can
gain we are inclined to think that the placer
diggings there are rich but limited In extent.
The snow there has not yet disappeared, and
the weather is cold.
The whole country south and east Of there is
full of quartz leads, aud If any are disappointed
ia their search for placer diggings, let them
hunt for silver or gold bearing quartz.

A DOUBT ABOUT BRepERrcK's WnL-The New
York Herald Of April 9Th, has the following Gu
rious piece of news:
"There is q rumor that the will which has
been published as that of the late Senator Brod-
erck Of San Francisco, turns out not to be genu-
inc. We have not heard that there has been
any attempt made as yet to prove il before the
Surrogate; but il is stated that when such at
tempt is made, its validity will be disputed by
two nephews of the deceased, who have set up
their claim to the property. What purperts to
br the will is dated New York, January, A. d.
1859. at which time. we believe, Mr.. Broderick
was here. Who had the custody of the alleged
will, or furnished IL to the newspapers, does
not appear. The document struck us at the
time Of its publication as very extraordinary

DECIDEDLY RIcH.-It is very amusing for an
old resident to watch the proceedings of batch
Of old Wings, Nnow Nothngs, ETC., who never
voted for Democratic President, standing at
The corner of the streets, swearing allegiance to
the Charleston nominee, yet crnging at the
idea that Douglas will be elected. These "Fil-
more rangers" are now Democrats par excellence
that is, in their own estimation-and 40 doubt
they will be so as long as the Democratic party
IL in the ascendant. Let the Republican candi-
date for President be elected, and who could
outstTip these fellows in loyalty TO the loaves
aud fshesf We pause for reply.--Sac. Bee.

DIAMOND MAKINo.-The Sacramento Bee says
that an attempt is to be made in that city to solve
the problem, whether diamonds can be manufac-
tursd by artificial means. The machinery for that
purpose is now being constructed, and is thus de-
scribed:
1t is of very ponderous character and will weigh
some thousands of pounds. The ball IN which the
successfu is Of solid iron, three feet in diameter
and weighs $500 mounds Two holes, some six
inches in diameter bored through crossing each
other at right angles. female screw is cut in the
part which surrounds the holes nearly down 10 the
center and plugs Of iron, with the male screw fill
the holes, but not entirely to the center. At the
center is cavity, where the precious material is to
be placed. Not being very profound philosopher,
we may not thoroughly understand the principle
upon which the experiment Is TO be tried, but be-
ieve.it is something like this; Carbon" says
Webster, "is an elementary, combustibe substance,
existing pure and crystalized in the diamond, and
sometimes in graphite, and forming the basis OF
animal and vegetable charcoal, and of coke. By
means Of galvanic apparatus, il is found to be
capable of fusion" In speaking Of carbonic acid,
the same author says: at exists, under ordinary
circumstances, when uncombined, in the state of
gas but has been liqufed by very powerful pressure.
II was formerly called fixed air, 'mephitic gas,
ETC." 1t is heavier than common air, and subsidies
into low places, wells and vaults. II we are not
mistaken, the gentlemen managing this experiment
have already been successful in reducing carbon TO
a fluid and il has also been compressed by them in
leadcn ball, in this city, sufficient to create stone
so hard that no eweler could cut it, and which has
been sent to Paris for inspection. The additional
power given by the machinery above mentioned, it
is hoped by the owners, win afford sufficient com
preston to crystalze the fluid, and diamond worth
half million may be the result. The power from
the galvanc battery is to be applied by means OF
copper wire conducted to the cavity in the center
of the hall The machinery will cost about &3. 600.
and ii is expected that the grand experiment will
be tried in about thirty days Whether the pro-
prieors reap princely reward or not the operation
will be great benefit to science. ~. .

INDIANS on THE SOUTHERN ROUTR.-On the

the Mountain Pass station, on the Butterfed over

VIM. Lambshead, boy named James Harvey, aged
fifteen, and scalped stranger, who travelled some
ten miles to another station and there died. The
Indians also off lot Of cattle from the Mustang
station. The cause Of their hostility is said to have
grown out Of the fact that Mexican named Sardreal
murdered one Of their tribe some time previous.
The Camanches are the most warlike Of the Indian
tribes--are well mounted and well armed with ex-
cellent rifles, and are powerful in Northern Mexico
and all along the border from Texas to Sonora,
