The BURNING OF SpURGEoN's BooKs.-A
late number of the London Times contains in
its summary of American intelligence the
following paragraphs
"Spurgeon's sermons, some Of which CON
tain severe remarks on the slave institutions
of the United States, had been burnt in the
Virginia court house"
This is quite sensation paragraph. and
viii doubtless cause some of our kind cous.
ns over the water TO attribute to the citizens
of Virginia degree of excitement in regard
to the views Of Mr.. Spurgeon which never
was engendered. a gentleman who Witnessed
the occurrence alluded to says it took place,
not in "He Virginia court house"-a phrase
which seems to imply that it was a State
aHair-but on the green in front of the court
house OF one Of the smallest counties of the
Old Dominion. 1t was not the work of an
enraged population, nor any considerable
number of them, but solely of a demented
Baptist minister, who, after duly advertising
his intention to burn few copies of Spur-
geons books on an appointed day, had the
satisfaction of being surrounded on the oc-
cason 10y an audience of eight or ten grin
ming negroes, and a small crowd of idle bows
whose curiosity had been excited. -PhHadek-

Letter from San Francisco.
SAN Francisco, Sept. 9th, 1860.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 9th, 1860.
EDITOR NATIONAL DEMOCRAT The late
visit to this city of the Hon. Levi Ilite has
turned out very fatal to his Senatorial aspi-
rasons If he had never seen the old Rail
road Killer, all would have been well but
Gwin made him show his hand, which was
too much attached to Weller. His defeat
was then determined upon. James Vineyard.
father-n-law to Col Whitesides aud general
disbursing agent for Gwin during the Legis-
lative session Of 1855, was dispatched to
your county with inducements to the Col. TO
make the sacrifice Of his extensive business
and become a candidate for the Senate, when,
if elected, he could repay Weller for his du-
pcity and deception practiced in the APP
pointment of Haun to fill the vacancy occas-
ioned by the killing of Brodericck. Hite
must have learned what was in the wind as
he did not allow his name to go before the
Convention. If he had he would have been
beaten, as the Doctors friends in this city
claim that Mr.. Magruder, Deputy U. S. Mar
shal and his friends, can nominate and elect
whom they please, and they are for the DR..
first last and forever. Gwins prospects
have considerably Enlightened, since your
County Convention, and more elated are they
since the nomination of Parks, of Sutter, as
Joint Senator. The game is now made-sev-
en- votes from luba are counted certain for
Gwin. His friends are now making a fight
for other counties, and will bet on his eec-
tion the coming winter The wire working
politicians of your county have made the
ticket that is to accomplish CALIFORNIA; ruin
1t is now for the people to arise en- n,asse and
teach Magruder, and his clique, that they do
not own the people of Yuba county, and
that they will no longer suffer themselves to
be traded off by the politicians for their own
individual gain.
About week since one Of Gwiu's messen-
gers left this city to look after Senator Parks,
so as to be certain of his fidelity to the Doc
tor. For some time there have been doubts
as Parks firmness, he having been raised and
educated in the Abolition portion of Ohio;
but, when questioned and his early antece-
dents referred to, he only declared the more
solemnly his attachments to the Yoncey pol
icy, and that DR.. G win had nothing to fear,
and rumor says that all would be right when
ever his vote would secure the DR.. 3 success
This being satisfactory, Parks nomination
was ordered to be made by accimation
Guthrie and Solomon are in high glee at
their success in Yuba. A handsome little
job was sent to the Express, in the shape of
an order to have large edition of the paper
struck off, in the form of supplement, con-
tanning the Doctors speech, and that of the
"far famed Calhoun Benharn, who was new
er known to 60 unrewarded for services rem
dered. More anon. r.

Transcript, edited he Cen Allen:
DAY AFTER TIE FAIR.-On Mondnv of
this week-being the first day of the Marvs-
vile Fair-the editor of this paper received
a polite invitation from Charles NJ. Gorham.
Esq, Secretary of the agricultural, Horti-
cultural, and Mechanics Society of the
Northern District of California" notifying
him that he had been appointed one of the
Judges of native wines aud liquors, also of
printing and penmanship" Whether the
aforesaid Secretary-or, rather, the Execu-
tive Committee, for whom he acts-thought
that forming judgment on the merits of
printing and penmanship was rather dry
work, and, therefore, threw in the native
wines and liquors as a sort of stimuator. or
whether he and the committee thought that
the wines and liquors was rather moist work,
and wished to correct their efforts by the an.
tidote of such desiccating agents as printing
ard penmanship, is more than the aforesaid
editor knows. One thing he knows, and
that is that the invitation, wet and drv as it
is, reached its destination entirely out Of sea-
son.

SUICIDE OF OF A LAD AT scuoon.-A name

SOlOlDE of OF LAD AT SCHoOL-A paper
at Blairstown, N. j., has the following:
The young man it seems had taken fancy
to- and had been corresponding occasionally
with, young lady in or near Blairstown
The principal of the school, Mr.. Johnson.
forbade the correspondence, and even wrote
himself to the young lady, forbidding her to
send the young man any more letters She.
however, ,continuedto write, and it happened
a day or two before the fatal occurrence
that the young man Glanced to drop one of
her letters which letter was found and car
ried to johnson. Instead Of returning the
letter to the young man, with such kind ad-
monitions as his own good judgment ought
to have suggested, he had it publicly read
before the school, which so wrought upon
the young mans mind that he at once deter
mined to put an end to his own existence.
The shame, as he thought it, of such public
exposure, was more than he was able to
bear

ONINoUs SILENCE The Disunion organs
maintain an ominous "reteence" on the re-
cent action of the Virginia Breckenridge
Convention repudiating the Pacific Railroad
resolution. This unpopular proceeding it is
considered expedicnt to give the "go by" to,
whilst the same papers are calling up phan-
tom Douglas coalitions, which they term
Know Nothing fusons. The Boilers are
greatly afraid that the Douglas party will
become dark -anternized but they ignore
the fact their own is becoming thoroughly
ant-railroadized They, of course, are safe
with Breckenridge: he has already defeated
the Pacific Railroad measure by his vote
and if he becomes President he will defeat it

nearer to the American shore, he again stop
