Sacramento. Placer and Nevada Railroad.
An, active canvass isuow going on 10 Placer
on the question which has been submitted Il
the voters, as to whether the county shall sub
scribe for 5000 of the stock Of the Sacra.
mento Placer and Nevada Railroad. The cleo.
tion takes place on Wednesday, the 9th inst,
and we have no means of knowing how the
question is likely to be decided. There are,
however, many warm advocates of the measure,
and some bitter opponents. AS the amount
which is proposed for the county to subscribe
is only about one-tentb of the total cost OF
building the road to Auburn, and even that
cannot be used except as the road is being con-
structed, the people of Placer, If they know
their own interest will vote for the measure.
The increase of property caused by the con-
struction of the road, at the ordinary rates Of
taxation, will be more than enough to pay the
interest on the bonds issued by the county in
payment for the stock. AS provision is made
for the building Of the road as fast as the bonds
are issued, the county can never lose anything
even If nothing should be realized from the
road. But the road will pay something over
expenses from the time the first section is COM
pleted; aud the profits will continue to increase
as the road is extended. .-..tFI-.
But there is another consideration which
should not be overlooked. We have good rea-
to believe that this road will form portion OF
the great railway that must sooner or later
unite the nayigable waters of the Mississippi
aud the Pacific ocean. The Henncss Pass is
one Of the most favorable for railroad that
has been discovered on the Sierra Nevada
range, and the road from Folsom will approach
it at such an angle with the base of the noun
tains that heavy grade will not be required
When Nevada is reached one half Of The altitude
Of the Pass, and little more than half the dis
lance from Folsom to the summit, has been
accomplished. Three millions of dollars will
construct the road from Folsom to Nevada
and experienced engineers who know the eouu-
try we'll, are satisfied that three millions more
will carry the road from Nevada to the summit
Of the Henness Pass. There is another advan-
tage that this route possesses over any other
From Sacramento to. Eureka South, distance
Of about one hundred miles, the road would
pass through the mos. thickly settled, the most
prosperous, aud most permanent mining section
Of the State 1t would be the thoroughfare,
for trade and travel, Of not less than seventy
five thousand inhabitants. In no other part of
the State can a road be built of one hundred
miles in length, that would be the thoroughfare
for so large a population.

rhe pemocratle sentlment.

Some weeks ago, the Journal asserted that a
majority Of the Democratic voters OF the Union
had decided that Stephen A. Douglas was a
renegade and apostate, and that Senator'S Davis,
Brown and others, were the true opponents OF
Democratic principles. Whether or not that
assertion was true, may be inferred from the
table presented below. giving The vote by States,
in the Charleston Convention, on the adoption
of the platform, and the number Of Democratic
voters represented by the delegates voting for
Popular Sovereignty and those voting for q
slave-code plank. The committee on resolu-
tions made two reports-the majority recon-
mendng a.resolution asserting that it was the
duty Of Congress to protect slave property in
the Territories while the minority recommend
ed the re-adoption Of the Cincinnati platform,
as it was understood in 1856. A motion was
made in the Convention to substitute the mi
nority for the majority report, whish was car
ried by a vote Of l65 yeas to 1873 nays Those
voting in the Affirmative represented the views
Of Douglas, aud those in the negative the views
of JEFF Davis and those who agree with him.
In the following table is given, in the fret two
columns, the vote by States. on the motion to
substitute the minority report; the third col
umn OF figures shows the number Of Democratic
voters represented by the delegates voting for
Popular Sovereignty platform; tho fsarth
column shows the number represented by those
voting for the slave code plank, and the fifth
and last column gives total Democratic ote OF
each State The table has been made I'D with
considerable care. from the official returns at
the last Presidential election, and We believe
eyery nqure will be found correct

NEVADA, WEDNESDAY. JUNE 20. 1860.
Another Fire.


About ten o'clock yesterday morning, the
hay in the loft Of Faggs livery stable, on the
corner OF Pine and Spring streets was discover
ed to be 90 fire. An alarm was Immediately
raised, The horses, saddles, ETC., taken out Of
The building. and an unsuccessful attempt wat
made 10 extinguish the FIRE with buckets of wa
ter. The building was ire-proof brick, hav-
ing two roofs. one fre-proof, and wooden
roof above. Finding 1t impossible to put out
the Gre, with water buckets, the doors and win
dows were closed, the. blacksmith shop of Mr.
Hamblin and the back part Of the U. s. Hotel
in the rear pulled down, and the wooden roof
torn off the burning building. The fire was
confined to the inside OF the building, and con-
tinued TO burn very slow. To the meantime. q
small canvas hose WAS procured and attached
to the works Of the Nevada Water Company
to carry the water to the roof of the building;
but the hose was'not strong enough to stand the
PRESSURE and proved OF little service. After
the fire had been burning about half an hour, a
dispatch was sent TO Grass Valley for the hose
belonging to The fire company Of that place,
and ia another half hour, four members Of the
company, with their hose. arrived by one OF
Cady's fast teams By means Of this hose a ine
stream of water was conveyed to the top of the
building, q number of holes were cut through
the Ere proof roof, and immense quantities OF
water dashed ia upon the burning hay. BY
twelve O'Clock the fire was mastered, when the
stable doors aud windows we're thrown open,
and forty or fifty bales Of hay, some Of which
were halt consumed, were rolled out of the
building.
The members of the two recently formed hose
companies of this place were promptly on the
ground, and not only proved themselves capa-
BILE firemen but demonstrated the value of a
well-organized FIRE department.
Mr.. Flagg is at loss TO account for the ORR
gin of the fire. 1t was first discovered In the
back part of the hay loft, where no one con meet
ed with the stable had been, aud 1t could scarce
have been the work Of an incendiary. 1t must
have been oecasioned by spontaneous combus-
ton.
The losses were not heavy. Mr. Flagg lost
about $3.50 worth of hay, and the cost Of repair
ing the building will amount to about $3.50.
The building, however was insured. Crush Il
Parker, propretors Of the u S. Hotel oae about
$500, and the loss Of Mr.. Hamblin, whose shop
WAS pulled down, could not have been less than
500. The barber shop Of Lampe Bro. was
'cleaned out" during the excitement, and the
damage to furniture, with other Losses amounts
TO $50 or $500.

The Mountain Spring RObbery-Arrests.
We have already noticed the arrest of man

On Monday Of last week. Mrs. Jenny Moore

passing as MRS Murphy" hired a carriage at
Grass Valley, proceeded to Auburn and re-
quested an interview with "Curly Smith," The
request was granted, aud owing to suspicious
circumstances the parties were both taken into
custody, when it was asceriainOd that "Mrs
Murphy" was man, and he was subsequently
identified by Mr. Brown and his clerk as one OF
the parties engaged in the robbery.
The next night, officers Boggs and johnson
Of Placer, and Mr. Stephenson and others OF
Grass Valley. got on the track of another per-
son supposed to have been engaged in the same
robbery, and about twelve O'Clock surrounded

THE SIoILIAN RRvoLT.-The Paris correspond
ent Of the Alta, writing May 4th, has the following
relative to the revolt on the Island of Sicily
The Neapolitan official journals would have us
believe that the instruction the island of Sicily
is quelled and peace been entirely restored But in
these days of telegraphs it is impossible to keep
back the TRUTH and although it is probably true that
the Sicians, wherever there has been regular en-
gagement have been defeated by the superiority Of
numbers and skill of the Neapolitan troops, still the
spirit of revolt is rife as ever, and will again
break out. 1t is said that Garibaldi has gone to
Sicily. This is very likely, he was last seen at
Genoa some ten days since, and has not been heard
from since that time. Mazzini is also supposed to
be there stirring up the Scillans and if these two

is by no means The Neapolitan troops have
acted throughout the campaign, with great cruelty,
and the insurgents with remarkable bravery. The
troops have burned and RACED whole villages, even
after the insurgents had left them, and have
cred women and children who had taken refuge in
churches In Palermo thirteen gentlemen Of the
town were taken from their homes and shot, and
their bodies carried, amid bowling triumph, through
the city; and at Carni city of some ten thousand
inhabitants, about twenty miles from Palermo,
where out of a thousand insurgents who made an
assault, one-half persisted, similar cruelties were

The CaItfofnIa Delegation atGharlester-
In the proceedings ofthe Charleston Conyen
ton, as reported in the New York papers, ths
entire vote Of California Is set down as having
been given for the slavscode PLATFORM Il
appears, however, that MAJOR Bidwell voted
against it, and defined what be supposed 10 DC
the position Of the California Democracy On
The question. His remarks are reported In the
debates of the Convention as follows;
Mr.. ,Bidwell, Of California, said Callforpia

had not Tended to produce this result. lie IN
1 derstood The position of California to be, ever
sinoe the passage of the Kansas Nebraska Act
Of 1854, that nonintervention was just and prop.
er, but not that nOninteryentiOn which would
give the Territorial Legislatures the right 10
destroy the rights Of property Of any state IN
the Territories. The State Legislatures had no
power to destroy the rights of property, and,
certainly, Territorial Legislature had 40 such
power. In 1859. when it was said that Callfor-
MIA was III favor Of slave code, she bad passed
resolutions defining her position, which he read,
and which took strong noninterveution ground.
leaving all questions Of the right OF property TO
be settled by the courts. California did not in
che might differ in the means by which such
rights may be best protected. II the California
delegation had done aught here to bring about
the unfortunate events that had occurred, they
would not be held blameless by their consttu-
cns. He had voted for the minority resolution

supported the preamble and first resolution in
the minority platform, which bad been rejected
He had intended 10 offer a series Of resolutions,
which be thought would have met the views Of
The Convention, and which be would yet offer
They we're as follows:
l ResoLred That the Platform adopted by the
Cincinnati Convention in 1856 is hereby affirmed.
2 ResOkred, That to entite Territory to form
a Constitution for admission into the Union as q
sovereign State it should contain reasonable num-
Der of inhabitants, which should not be less than
the number required for a representative in Con
gress.
3. R.SoIued That the true Interpretation of the
Cincinnati Platform is hereby declared to be that
the right TO hold slaves in Territory rests upon
the same ground, and entitled to the Same protec-
ton, as other property.
4. ResOkued, That any infraction Of the rights OF
property in Territory would be judicial question
and that it would be the duty Of Congress to pass
such laws may be necessary to secure the faith
full execution of the mandates Of the Courts. .
s. ReSOIred, That Congress has the power at
any time to change repeal any Territorial organic
act and to revise annul any Territorial law con-
hlcting Herewith.
He concluded by moving the previous q;es'
ton; but as the platform had already been
adopted the motion was not sustained.
