JOHN NUGENF AND THE HRRALD.-- Mr. John
Nugent published his editorial valedictory in
the San Francisco Herald last Monday morn
ing. He parts from his paper and readers
with evident regret, and we sincerely regret
his departure. Under his control the Herald
has constantly been a high-toned, able Jour-
nal, fair to its opponents and faithful to its
friends-a leader aud corrector of the Popu-
lar Mind rather that its blind follower or Grim
ging suppliant and this is no ordinary COM
journal in this age of general vascillation and
corruption. If the Herald has evnced less
enterprise in its news department than some
of its contemporaries, in careful statement, hon.
orable dealing, dignity and editorial talent,
nothing is hazarded in placing it far in the
van of the whole army of Democratic news
papers ever published in the State. We do
not hesitate to assert that the courteous pen
of Mr. Nugent has, as much as any other cause,
tended to the elevation OF tone which contra
distinguishes political journalism in California
to-day, from the vulgar features which de-
graded that vocation few years ago. The
Herald has now passed from the firm grasp
which held it for ten years Mr.. Guthrie has
become sole proprietor and publisher, and Mr.
George Washington, it is said, will be the ed
itor. The Breckenridge flag is nailed to the
head of its columns. In his valedictory, Mr.
Nugent declares preference for Judge Doug
las as the candidate of the Democracy who
received at least whatever there was of
regular nomination" and promises to advo-
cate his election from the stump during the
campaign.

opinion existed in the minds of said commit.

DoUGLAs IN THE SOUTH. = News received
from the East since the last issue of the Inde-
pendent indicates brightening-up of Mr..
Douglas chances in the Southern States. A
private teIegraphic dispatch to New Yorker,
SAYS the Bell and Douglas parties have formed
coalition in the State Of Georgia, whereby
the electoral ticket shall be composed OF five
Douglas and FIVE Bell electors. If this be true
as to Georgia, it is highly probable that the
same arrangement will be consummated IN
Tennessee, Kentucky, Missouri, Maryland, sir-
ginia, Texas, Louisiana, and possibly III Mis-
sisspppi and North Carolina. In the event OF
such general coalition throughout the South
ern States, the Seceders and Yanceyites must
have been largely increased and Southern pas
sion highly intensified within the past two
years, if the allies do not outvote the Brecken-
ridge Democracy in November, in all the States
above named.

THe DIrrERRsor.-on the road from Pla-

The DIFFERENcE.--On the road from Pla-
cerville to Carson City, we are informed,
there is good comfortable public house es-
tablished every FIVE to ten miles of the way.
These hotels are well furnished with beds,
oars, sitting rooms, parlors, and spread as
good table before their guests as any hotel
IN the County of Calaveras. On the Big Tree
road, after passing the Big Tree ranch, not
one of these accommodations, (the same au-
thority informs us) is to be obtained. There
are only, here and there, at long intervals of
travel, a board or rough log shanty, with
rude sleeping and eating preparations; and
yet, be itknown that this same Big Tree route
offers greater natural inducements for perma-
nent settlement than the road by Placeryille
we have repeatedly mentioned, as the surest
and speediest means of bringing our route into
favorable notice and general use, the necessity
OF establishing public houses like those now
IN successful operation, north, and we take
this occasion to repeat the suggestion. and
furthmore to add that in our opinion. all
other methods to make the Big Tree road a
successful competitor with its Placerville RI
val, will end in smoke, as all past efforts haze
done. 1t is idle in the extreme to combat
practical energy and individual enterprise
with such feeble, wordy, windy weapons as
have heretofore been used in this matter
We will guarantee the success of any parties.
who, on their individual account, may estab-
hsh hotels on the Big Tree route at distan-
ces not nearer to each other than from six to
ten miles; provided they do not confne their
business exclusively to the retail of bad IL
quor and neglect such accommodations of
bed and board as are always desired by the
weary traveller Try it.

FRESH FROM THE WARs.-B. S. Lippincott,
Esq. late Quartermaster of the army of Wes-
tern Utah, paid us a visit last Wednesday. He
bears a striking resemblance to man in fine
health and spirits, and seems much pleased
with the rongh fare and hard life of a soldier.
Mr.. Lippincott speaks with enthusiasm of the
wealth of several of the silver leads in Washoe,
but is also OF opinion that many prospectors
who have sfrozen to- small narrow veins of
silver, in the expectation of realizing immense
fortunes therefrom, are doomed to disappoint-
ment. Our friend lays no very high estimate
upon the Washoe district, apart from its rich
mines The climate is changeable, the coun-
try sterile and desolate. Lake Bigler is a re-
deerning feature; with its grand surroundings,
clear, profound depths, magnificent incompa-
rabie trout, aud great area, it is one of the
finest lakes in the world, and must become, at
no distant day. favorite watering place for
Caifornians.

AGRICULTURAL FAIR.

The San Joaquin Agricultural Fair will
commence Tuesday, August 28th, at the city
of Stockton, TO continue for four days. 1t is
to be hoped that the citizens of Calaveras will
lend their presence literally and that our far
mers, gardeners and orchardists will vie with
each other in the exhibition of their produce
on this occasion There is no single mining
county in the State which contains so MANY
well selected orchards, gardens, farms and
vineyards, or which can lay claim generally to
an equality in Agricultural resources an the
rough, with our own. Contact with our neigh
bors, an interchange of knowledge and of
plans will operate benefcially ell round. Ag-
ricultural Fairs and Agricultural Prints have
elevated the farmers business elsewhere they
are performing the same noble work in Cali
fornia. We have, even now, enough home
material in Calayeras to get up county Fair,
but no steps have been taken to that end, and
the next best thing we can do is to patronize
the Stockton Fair. Apart from the courtesy
due our valley neighbors for their liberal pre-
parations, it should be borne in mind that the
city of Stockton is the true heart and capital
OF all that country-upland and plain living
between the lakes of Tulare and the Mokel
umne river. Her prosperity, her success are
ours; and, be it understood, that if Stockton
stands still or retrogrades, the vast country
above named is at fault, and is also standing
still or retrograding. Stockton is our mercu-
ry, from whose ebbs and falls we NAV uner-
ringly read our own condition. Whatever
there is of Agricultural, Mineral, or Miscella-
neous treasure in our plains, mountains, aud
forests, must lind its outlet through the valley
of the San Joaquin and the city of Stockton
1t is therefore the direct interest of the people
of this county, and of the Great Undeveloped
South, to aid the Stocktonians in all their eff
forts at the development of our crude resour-
ces. At this day we trust there need be 40
argument in defense of the beneficial influen-
ces of Agricultural Fairs on farming industry.
All sensible persons will admit the proposition
without argument. But farmers as class,
are too much disposed to apathy and it is to
overcome this that we urge our home people
to come out with the products of farm, gar
den and orchard on the 2Sth
The Stocktonians have subscribed and paid
literally toward the Fair. $4,000, we learn,
have been already collected ample temporary
buildings have been erected for the deposite of
articles for exhibition bands of music, ora.
tor and poet have been engaged the race
track has been put in fine condition, and some
of the best horses in the State will contest
their speed during the Fair there will be pi-
geon snd target shooting for the men, with
balls and Cupid's craftsmanship for the wo-
men so that there will be enjoyment for all,
and chance to be agTeeably shot. A liberal
list of premiums has been settled upon, and no
preparation has been neglected to make the
Fair all that can be expected from a country
where such things are still in their infancy
Calayeras should respond literally.

The BEST ROAD FOR FREIGHT.-The Big Tree
road is now in prime freighting condition.
As large amount of heavy machinery is soon
to be taken to Washoe, it may be of great i'm
portance to parties interested TO be reminded
that all along this road from Murphy's to Car
son Valley, there is an abundance of grass and
water which can be had as free of charge as
the air we breathe On the Placerville road
these conveniences are not to be had. Over
the greatest part Of that route the grass has
long since been eaten off and tramped out
until the earth is as destitute of verdnre as
the Humboldt river desert. 1t will cost a
teamster as much to feed his mules from Pla-
cervil,e to Carson or Hope Valley, as the price
allowed for freight will amount to. Here it
costs nothing for feed, and heavier load can
be hauled with the same motive power We
earnestly invite attention to these facts.
