s.THE PLOT DISCOVERED."

It will not be forgotten by our readers
that in a recent speech before his constitu-
ents the Hon. John S. Millson, of Virginia,
expressed the opinion that the nomination
of Mr.. Brcckinridge was "made to be beat
en-" and at the same time to insure the de-
feat of his Democratic rival, Mr.. Douglas
Not being in the secrets of the two parties
which, in the common name of .'National
Democracy" succeed so well in proving,
each to their own satisfaction, that the other
is sectional, and unworthy to be trusted by
"a patriotic and confding people," we can
not pronounce any judgment upon the ac-
curacy of MIR. Wilson's representations
We only know that his statements have
every appearance of being well-founded,
and that, whether wcll-founded or not in
respect to the motives which he imputes,
they are Of most undoubtcd authenticity so
far as they point to the results that are like
ly to be reached by this reduplication of

THE GREATEST MAN IN CALIFORNIA

THE GREATEST MAN IN CALIFORNIA
The following incident, connected with the la
mented Broderick is told by "Sycamore," the
San Francisco correspondent of the Sacrament
to Bee.
Walking upon North Beach with Broderick
short time before his death, a few friends en-
gagged the lamented Senator in conversation up
on the most prominent men in California. The
whole of the list was nearly reviewed, when the
party came to halt, seating themselves upon
piece of schooner timber, which lay at the
edge of high-tide mark. Tilford and Conness,
and their connection with Latham's defeat in
1857, were under consideration at the moment
of seating. Other members Of the company
carried on the conversation, while Broderick
wrote with his cane on the sand. "They are,
both of them, very smart men, said one. "Yes, 3"
spoke Broderick, but would give more for
Conness little finger than would for Tilford's
whole body. But, gentlemen, l will tell you
who is the greatest man in California" "Whoi
inquired all. "That is his name," They read
-"Edmund Randolph"

THr KANSAS TROUBLES.

The Pony which left st. Louis Novemb'T
9th, brings the following. relative to the
late outbreak in Kansas:
The Kansas troubles are probably much
exaggerated. On Sunday last o detach-
meat of volunteers under Gen. Host, LETT
St. Louis for the Western border at Jeiier-
son City, and other places. They were
Joined by other troops on their arrival yes
terday, at Syracuse, Missouri. They num-
bered upwards of 600 men, mostly infantry
They are now en- route for Fort ScotI,
where, according. to last reports, Mo1tgon-
cry and his band are entrenched. The out
laws who were reported to have invaded
Missouri, turn out to be U. S. troops en-
camped on their march from Fort Leaven-
worth to Texas. Other telegrapbc state
ments were equally false or exaggerated.
The latest advices state that Secretary
Beebee, of Kansas had bad an interview
with Montgomery, who with 43 men was
engaged trying man charged with Kid
mapping free negro. According to one
account this man was hanged in Beebe's
presence but according TO another, he was
released at his request on being expostulat'
ed with. Montgomery is reported TO have
defied the power of the Territorial aud Fed
eral Government.
Fort Scott has not been burnt nor Parish
sacked as previous accounts bad them.
Gen. Harney and Governor Medary ar
rived at Fort Leavenworth on the 26th OF
November, and were to leave this morning
with one hundred dragons and two pieces
of artillery. Troops had also started from
Fort Riley.
Many prominent Republicans at Leaven-
worth on Saturday night sent resolutions
deprecating the lawless violence of Mont
gomery, and the recent expulsion of the
settlers from the Cherokee country by the
Federal Government, but declaring that
the latter was no excuse for the former
and giving their cordial cooperation to the
movement to put down Montgomery.
From the latter paragraph, it would ap'
pear that the difficulties originated from the
expulsion of settlers from the Indian lands
as we suggested some days ago.

Secession News.

The Pony arrived at Fort Churchill yes
tcrday morning, with dates from st. Louis,
by telegraph to Fort Kearney, to Nov.
29th The following Ia the latest intelli-
gence, received by the Union, Alta and
Bulletin. relative TO the disunion move
ment:
Financial matters are much easier,
though most Of the Missouri. Tennessee,
South Carolina and some other banks have
suspended in order to afford relief to the
community Disunion was alarmingly on
the increase. The secession of South Caro-
lima was considered certain. Many North
ern Republican journals urge the greatest
concessions in order to allay the storm.
The message of the Governor of South Car
olina treats secession as a fixed fact and
makes his recommendations accordingly.
He suggests that Adams Express should be
temporarily substituted for mails until
some arrangement can be made with the
Federal Government. He advises the pro-
hibiti0n of the introduction OF slaves from
border States that are not members of the
Southern confederacy, and opposes any de-
lay on the part of South Carolina, let other
States come In when they please; be treats
coercion after secession as absurd, and says
that, If the Federal Government should re-
fuse to surrender the harbor defences or
interfere with imports or exports, South
Carolina must accept the issue, and accept
1t like men and freemen, who infinitely pre-
fer annihilatlon to disgrace.
1t was again rumored that Senator Cobb,
will resign and return to Georgia to advo-
cate the extreme course. The Governor of
Maryland refuses to call an extra session,
as the proposed Legislation is calculated to
favor reasonable designs.

EUGENE SULLIvAN.-The Republican pa

a suitable person to represent the Pacific

900 on Linoolns election, and the fact be-
ing published gave him considerable noto-

TUESDAY EVENING, DEC. IL, 1860.

The TELEGRAPH.-Th Placerville Demo
crat says that the telegraph line between
that place and Fort Churchill is in most
wretched condition. The posts are small
and not strong enough to bear up the wire,
and placed in positions where they are liza
bic to be removed every day. In many
places the wire is slack and lying on the
ground, and the Pony dispatches, which are
taken out at Fort Churchill, are frequently
delayed in consequence. Unless the line is
attended to and put in proper order the
Pony news will be brought through to
Placerville, and from thence be telegraphed
10 Sacramento and San Francisco.

Gn.ss VALLEY 1rRns.-we cOndense the

GRAss VALLEY ITRMs.-We condense the
following items from the Grass Valley Nation
al, Of Saturday:
The lower part of town has become SO com
pletely changed by recent improvements, that
one can hardly realize he is in Grass Nalley
when viewing that locality. Bricks, morter
plank, gravel, paint and putty have worked as
romDlete a revolution in that neighborhood as
one can well imagine. We may count all this
as so much gained by the late fire. Perhaps,
however, the losers by that catastrophe may
figure differently.
There seems to be just at this time, quite. a
lively contest going on by rival claimants, for
the POST Office. in this place. The Repubs,
having got through with their rejoicings, are
now scramblin0 for the spoils. If they can't
agree as to who should have the Office, we would
suggest our friend Spencer as a compromise
candidate. We could then get all the news at
one establishment.
Mr.. David Benkleman, of this place, on
Wednesday last, while attending to the "Bar-
lev Masher' in connection with his Brewery,
driven by horse power, caught his thumb and
great finger in the cogs, tearing off their nails
and stripping off the flesh to the terminal bone
He will recover without permanent injury.
A very serious accident occurred on Tuesday
afternoon of this week. One of the worlmen
on the Allison Ranch, whose name we have
not been able to learn. had his leg dreadfully
fractured nearly midway between the knee ano
ackle, by the fall of rock from the roof of one
of the tunnels Of those works. Much fear is
entertained that the leg Of the unfortunate suf-
ferer cannot be saved.

ANOTHER CANDIDATE.-Iti is reported that
George w. Mcbride will be a candidate for
Common Pleas Judge before the Democratic
Convention. If this is SO, Squire Stinson
will have to look to his anticipated laurels
at Princeton. If devotion to Democracy is
to be the qualification required to gain the
nomination, we think Squire Mcbride will
distance Squire Stinson in the contest; he
never was contaminated with the defle-
ments of Whiggery, nor has he followed the
hereses of the party disorganizer, the Little
Giant. The race between the Squires may
yet be the most interesting feature al
Princeton.
