county, was held on Saturday evening January 2Sth
for the purpose of adopting measures to obtain re-
duction of the present prices of water. commit

FATAL BLASTING AccIDENT.-On the night Of
January 26th, l. s. Dore was killed, and man
named Stafford seriously injured, near Columbia, by
the explosion of blast. At the time Of the acci-
dent they were attempting to drill out a charge
which had missed fire, but which unfortunately ex-
ploded while they we're thus employed. Apiece of
the rock nearly foot square, struck Dore on the
thigh, mashing it from the knee to the hip, and
causing his death within hour, and the hand Of
Stafford was SO mutilated that portion of it had to
be amputated Dore was but seventeen years Of
age. Thus is added another to the long list Of vic
tins to recklessness, who annually perish in Cali
forna by attempting the perilous operation Of drill
ing out unexploded charges.

The ST. HELENA SILVER MISEs.-The Napa
Reporter OF Saturday last gives the result of assays
of specimens of the taken from five different To-
calities in and about Mt. St Helens, made by four
different analysts, in succession. Each one agreed
that there trace of silver in the specimens, but
the highest amount in any assay, at the rate Of
only fraction over $40 ton. Nothing has yet
been found which is Of any practical value
The Napa Reporter concludes
We may as well give it up, that our silver mines
are decided failure. Nevertheless, many Of our
citizens deserve just credit for their perseverng
deavors to bring undeveloped treasures to light and
silver has been discovered in the same region, and
may prove sufficiently abundant to pay all the ex-
pense of the late silver hunting

NEVADA DEMOCRAT.
NEVADA, WEDNESDAY, FEB. 8, 1860.

PeLrrrcAL.-The Democratic Convention OF
Kentucky, met at Frankfort, Jan. 9th, and
elected delegates to the Charleston Convention.
An Intellectual attempt was made to indorse the
Cincinnati platform, but the slave coolers were
in majority, and it failed. The delegates
were instructed to vote for Guthrie. but two of
them are said to be favorable to Douglas, and
will probably vote for him should Guthrie's
name be withdrawn.
The Democratic Convention Of Indiana met
at Indianapolis, Jan. l1th, and had stormy
session. The Administration had made des-
perste effort to carry this State, asd the Feder-
81 ofncsrs had sent double delegations from
seven counties. The friends Of Douglas, how
ever, were largely in the majority, and the del
sgates to Charleston were instructed to vote
for him as q unit and use all honorable means
to secure his nomination. The resolution was
carried by vote OF 265 to 129. Thos A. Hen
bricks was nominated by acclamation for Gov
srnor
In the Democratic Convention Of Alabama,
the ultra sectional wing. after an exciting ses-
sion, carried the day, and instructed their dele
gates to withdraw from the Charleston Conyen-
tion, should that body fail to declare in favor
Of Congressional legislation to protect slave
property In the Territories.

WASHINGTON NEws.-By the overland mail,
dates have been received from Washington to
January 10th. The House had not organized
up to that date. The relative position Of par
ties remained about the same as previously re-
ported--sherman lacking three votes OF enough
TO elect bin. A caucus, composed of all the
members opposed to the Republicans, had been
held. but 1t appears they we're not able 10 con-
osntrate their vote upon any one candidate.
Senator Seward had arrived at Washington,
and 1t was reported that he had advised the Re-
psblicans to drop Sherman and cast their votes
for Corwin or Gilmer, by which means, an or
ganization could be speedily effected.
The Nevada Democrat., 1860-02-08

SpEcIE NovEMESTs.-Mr. Secretary Cobb, in
his late report TO Congress, alluding to our
trade with foreign countries, holds that gold
and silver being among the natural productions
OF the country should take the same place in
our export trade as agricultural productions.
He says
One fact, however, connected with our ex-
ports has attracted much attention, and led
many to believe that we were importing be-
yond our ability to pay; allude to the increase
of specie in our export tables. If specie occu-
pied in the business of the country only the po-
sition of circulating medium, aud the supply
was limited accordingly, there would be just
ground for this apprehension. Such, however,
IL not the case. 1t constitutes an important ell
ement in the list of our productions; aud, like
ell other productions, where the quantity ex-
ceeds the legitimate demands of the country for
use and consumption, it becomes very proper
article for export.
The views of the Secretary of the Treasury
on this subject conflict withthose usually enter
tanned by political economists, but we think
Mr.. Cobb is right, Only q certain amount Of
gold and silver is needed for circulating me-
dium, aud when this want is supplied, the coun-
tries producing those articles might as well ex-
port the balance, to Offset against the imports,
as 20 export cotton, wheat, or any other agri-
cultural production. As long as our exports,
including the precious metals produced in the
country, are equal to our imports, the "balance
of tradcn cannot be against us.
The Nevada Democrat., 1860-02-08
cnnat,tnt,on.l Amendment.

Mr.. Smith, Of this county, has introduced .
bill into the Assembly, to amend Article vi Of
the Consultation, relsting to the judiciary. Ac-
cording to the proposed amendment, the Su-
preme Court will be composed of seven Judges,
the Legislature being required to divide the
State into seven districts, each Of which elects
Supreme Judge. They are to hold their Of
Zee forithe term Of fourteen years, and during
the period for which they we're elected they are
Ineligible to hold any State or Federal ONCE.
The concurrence Of four Judges will be requir-
ed to pronounce judgment, and Ave will be
necessary to constitute q quorum to transact
business. The County Courts and Courts of
Sessions are abolished, and the business hereto
fore transacted 10 those Courts are conferred
on the District Courts The County Judges
hold Probate Courts as at present. The Dis
trict Judges hold their Offices for six years,
County Judges four years, and Justices of the
Peace two years. The amendment provides
that all judicial eficers shall be elected at
time distinct from other elections-the first elec-
ton to be held on the first Monday in October,
1862, and every two years thereafter, and the
terms of the Judges and Justices to commence
on the first Monday of January next after their
election, whether elected for full term or for
. vacancy.
The proposed amendment, on the whole, is .
great improvement on our present judiciary
system. Considering the great power which 10
conferred upon the Supreme Court, that tribu-
nal should be composed Of at least seven mem
bers, and the provision for their election by
separate districts is good one. AS the juris-
dietion OF the Comfy Judge is limited almost
exclusively to Probate business, 1t would save
the counties considerable expense IT, instead
OF a salary, he was allowed the usual fees paid
in such eases. He will have but little business
to attend to, and If the position is given to q
lawyer, as it generally will be, his Official du-
ties will not materially interfere with his pro.
fessonal business.

THE REPORTED QUICKSILVER MINRs.-The
silver mines Of Napa county, having faded out, VIC
now have "reliable" reports of the discovery of
quicksilver in the same locality where the silver
supposed to be so abundant. The Petaluma Jour-
nal Of February Sd says
NJ. James White has shown us very rich speci-
men of quicksilver ore which he found in the noun
tain, about six miles beyond Rays the terminus Of
the Geyser wagon road. At the same place, he
found pure quicksilver vial of which we have seen
as well as some good pieces of cinnabar. Mr..
White is very sanguine that his "eternal fortune"
secured and hope it is. The region of these dis
coyeries swarms with people from every direction,
among whom are doubtless some San Francisco
capitalists, and more who pretend to be. We have
strong hope of the richness of the cinnabar mines of
Mount St. Heens, and possibly for the silver mines.

the taxable property in Oregon for 1859, is 24 1884,

valuation of 1858. The Territorial tax in 1858 was
one dollar on every hundred dollars valuation; but
the tax for State purposes is just double the tax for
Territorial purposes. This increase in the rate of
taxation is the principal benefit the people of Ore

Terrible CaIamity-Over Three Hundred
Persons Killed and Wounded.

Terrible CaIamity-OVer Three Hundred
Persons Killed and Wounded.
By the overland mail, we have intelligence
Of an appalling calamity, which occurred at
Lawrence, Mass, January 10th. About Gve
O'Clock in the afternoon, the Pemberton Mills
fell with q sudden crash, while some six or sew
en- hundred operatives we're at work. An alarm
of fire was at first raised, and the engines rush.
ed to the place, but on learning the true state
OF the case, the fremen and others went to
work vigorously to remove the rubbish, for the
purpose of extrcating alive as many as poss-
BILE Of the persons buried under the ruins. Some
of the rescuers were killed in their humane ef
forts One man, terribly mutilated, was taken
from the ruins, who had cut bis throat TO end
bis sufferings. He was alive when taken out,
but died in short time. A great number Of
dead aud wounded were taken out, and the City
Hall was converted into temporary hospital
until they could be recognized. About half
past nine O'Clock, while the work of roscuing
the victims was going on, the ruins caught fire,
from spirit lamp which had accidentally been
dropped. This additional horror struck terror
to the hearts that had before been hopeful Of
saving more lives. In ten minutes the whole
mass Of ruins was one sheet Of fame, and the
screams and means Of the poor buried victims
could be distinctly heard, but no human power
coald rave them. Many were literally roasted
alive.
The latest dispatch states that one hundred
and thirty bodies had been recovered, and Hfty
two others were still under the ruins. Between
one aud two hundred others were wounded,
sone OF whom were not expected to survive.
There were nine hundred and sixty operati yes,
in all, employed in the mill, but many had left
for supper previous to the catastrophe, and
about six hundred remained. A large portion
of the killed were females, many Of them being
young girls.
The building was Eve stories high, 2sO feet
long, 10 wide with wing on the west side As
feet square, shaped like the letter l.. 1t was
erected about seven years ago, and was never
considered q staunch building. From the best
information that can be procured, the building
commenced to crumble from the northeast cor
ner, and the walls fell inwards. The loss Of
property ia estimated at 100000.
The day after the calamity, the Hon. David
Sears presided over meeting of twenty gen.
tlemen, at Boston, who subscribed $40, 900 for
the relief of the sufferers, aud appointed q CON-
mttee to solicit further contributions.
Since the above was in type, we have re-
ceived the Marysvlle papers, with four days
later dates. The calamity is said to be more
disastrous than at first supposed The Law.
renee Sentinel gives the most complete lst o
the dead, missing and wounded that has appear.
ed, and figures up as follows: Dead, SO; mis
sing, LOT; badly wounded, 1O4; slightly wound
ed, 80.
