HOW ii MNrlks.

The Plain Dealer says, Michigan gave
Lincoln 20, 900 majority. Michigan has
4, 900, 900 of bushels of wheat to sell ,
which before Lincoln's election brought
readily 81 0S. 1t is nova drag at 50
cents. The loss on 1000, 900, at 2S cts
per bushel, amounts to the snug little sum
of one million, one hundred and tweI0t
thousand dollars. This falls almost who'll
y on the farmers. The same may bc
said of all the wheat States.
Now hurrah for Lincoln.

the Revenue laws Of the general Govern
ment. 1t was for nnlliiying these laws
that she is forever disgraced, and it was
for this that Gen. jackson forced her to
come to terms anl respect tho laws Of
the country.
Now, in 1860. eight of the Northern
States nullify the Fugitive Slave law just
as much as South Carolina did the Rev
enue laws. When these multiplying States
respect the laws of Congress it will be
time for the Republicans to declare them

ORLEANS FLAT.-This town is not now so
fiourishing as it once was. The point of land
upon which it is located, extending out from the
mountain is supposed to be the richest of its dig
gings; and the labor of ten years has enabled
the miners to approach its Immediately populat-
ed boundaries. This encroachment will require
a number of houses to be removed whose foun-
dations are now being impinged upon, before
they can proceed much farther in their piping
operations. The town has lately diminished in
population. But it is confessed if the spirit
of investigation were more abroad, and the inte-
ior of the contiguous mountains explored, that
their riches would be found ample enough to in
spire liylier hopes for the future stability and
prosperity of the town.

IMM1GRATIoN:-The Ridge road between this
point and Moore's Flat, presents the spectacle, at
frequent intervals, of numerous families encamp-
ed at springs, wells and running brooks, which
compose portion OF the incoming emigration.
Two of these families have located about a mile
and half east of North San Juan, five or six at
Arnold's Ranch, and others, perhaps in the re-
mote or immediate neighborhood. They arrived
across the Sierras via the Henness Pass, and
made detour from the turnpike, which brought
them down an excellent mountain road into the
beautiful region of country designated. We
want more of this immigration, and could easily
secure it, if the citizens of the Three Flats
Woolsey's, Moore's and Orleans-would only
bestir themselves in setting forth the many ad-
vantages which the country offers for an indus
trious population, and the facility with which
they can enter the county, by several excellent
thoroughfares, and reach every portion of the
soil where it would be desirable to make per-
manent settlement.

THE DOUGLAS RALLY-On Tuesday night
the good people of North San Juan were
summoned together, at title war-cry of the
Douglas" to hear addresses from several of
their perambulating orators. Humphrey
Griffith, Esq, one of their State Electors,
was the first to mount the stand in front of
the Union Hotel, from which be spoke up
wards of an hour, in reply to some Of the
arguments of his Republican opponents, and
in elucidation of Democratic doctrine-con-
cluding with an earnest appeal to his audi
ence to preserve the Union of the States, by
striking down its enemies at the ballot boxes.
John r. Mcconnell followed, in one of
those able and logical speeches for which he
is distinguished, and occupied the stand for
more than two hours-discussing quite a
number of pertinent subjects, to the evident
satisfaction aud entertainment of the meeting.
At late hour, A. B. Dibble was called
upon, and responded from the stand, briefly,
and principally in urging the claims of the
Douglas nominees in Nevada county for the
Senate and Assembly.
The meeting was a creditable one, both as
respected its numbers, and the general good
order which prevailed

REPUBLICAN MEETING.-Punctual to ap-
pointment, on Wednesday night, Leland
Stanford and W. II. Weeks addressed their
Republican friends of North San Juan, in
front of the Union Hotel The former is a
deliberate and sensible speaker, who presents
his arguments in plain, matter of-fact
style, and no doubt with effect, upon think
ing people; but to the latter (Mr Wicks)
belongs the duty of awaking different trains
of thought, and stimulating different emo
tions and sentiments in the minds of his
hearers. He has a mastery over language,
and an admirable control Of his own voice
and actions. AT times he is argumentatiye
and persuasive; again, sarcastic, denuncia-
tory and witty; at all times eloquent, inter-
esting and familiar. He kept his hearers
together from the beginning to the end of his
remarks, occasionally conyulsing them with
laughter, and eliciting from them frequent
rounds of applause. Weeks is the best man
the Republicans could have chosen for an
Elector.

HORSE THIEVES sARREsTED.-Two men were
brought to the city yesterday, and lodged in
Jail to await their trial for horse stealing
The names of these fellows are John Adams
and Henry Simpson. Itappeas that on Tues
day they stole two horses near Eagleville,
one from Mr.. gfacey and the other from q
person whose name we could not learn
Tuesday night they robbed some teamsters
at the Winthrop House, seven or eight miles
from Strawberry Valley, OF snndry small
sums of money. On Wednesday, they were
overtaken by Bracey, at the Deer Creek
House, in Nevada county, on the San Juan
road and arrested him, who brought them
to this city yesterday. The horses were re-
covered. A gold ring with the letters R. @.
marked on it was found in their possession.
-Marysuille Daily Express, Oct. 10.
Sheriff Bracey, alluded to above, stopped with
his prisoners for few moments at John Oague's,
on his way down to Marysville, when one Of
them-we did not learn which-expressed wish
to visit the Privy. The Sheriff escorted him to
After the lapse of few moments, the prisoner
cautiously opened the Privy door, and presented
a cooked pistol at Sheriff Bracey's head. Quick
as thought, that officer sprang forward, seized
the pistol, and after struggle, succeeded in dis
arming the prisoner, who was subsequently taken
on to Marysville, and delivered over to the Au-
thorities, as above narrated.
The bodies of the prisoners had both been
searched for weapons previous to starting with
them on the journey, and none found. Ills sups
posed this scoundrel had his pistol secreted on
the back between the shoulder-blades.

STREET RUBBIsH.-Some time ago we admon-
ished merchants and others against throwing
pieces of broken boxes containing nails, into the
streets. At that time, Bot Rowland had his
valuable black horse severely injured by running
a nail in his foot, which rendered him unfit to be
used for several weeks. A few days since, from
similar cause, one of Jim McCue's stage horses
had to be taken from the team and placed under
medical treatment. These accidents should be
sufficient argument to induce guilty parties
hereafter to be more careful about committing
the offence complained of.
