y1oron HUGO is likely to have his hands
full in consequence of his letter upon old
John Brown. First an American author
ess sent him a ocply, and now Gen. Hen
ningsen, the renowned tillibnster, weary of
the inglorious ease cfpeace has written to
him a letter which would fill several col
nmns of our paper. We shall not be sur
prised to hear that Gov. Wise has followed
iHenniugscn. If he has, Hugo had better
abandon the idea of writing any more
poems. His correspondence will occupy
the rest of his lie.

The striking and original proposition
of Mr. Miles of South Carolina, that the
members ofthe House should resign, and al
low their constituents to elect successors,
met with as little ftrvorns the proposition of
Prof. Mitchell. that II party be formed of
men who would not hold Office, did at the
Union meeting in New York. So we can
not look for the election of Speaker
through tile dissolution of the House
That indeed would indeed be queer way
of reaching the desired result. But it
would seem to be about as expeditions as
that which is chosen by the speechifying
Democrats. They continue to talk to
their respectable and patient Republican
audience Wcshould think theysmight al
low the Republicans to have the Speaker
as a reward forquiet attention during the
month of overhowing Democratic elo-
Uuence.

Why are the Democrats the most Pious,
obedient people in the world? Because
they fulfill the Scripture. The Scripture
says, "rcnder to no man evil for evil.
Bless them that curse you. Do good to
fully use you" Now, Stephen a. Doug
las has done the Democratic party more
evil than any other man on the Continent,
therefore, they are preparing to give him
the Charleston nomination.

RAILROAD SURvEr-Mr. Elliott and his as
sistants are progressing rapidly with the survey
for railroad TO Auburn. Up to Saturday
evening they had run the line about nine miles
from the starting point, and by this time they
have doubtless got half way to Auburn. As
FAR as the line had been run up to Saturday
evening, the route was much more favorable
than anticipated no heavy grading will be ne
ceusary, and the obstacles supposed to be the
most serious have already been overcome. Mr.
Elliott is assisted By Mr.. 0strom, of Nevada,
and four others. The line Is marked by stakes
numbered and placed at every eight rods, and
the route can be easily traced. Mr.. Elliott in
formed Us on Saturday, that the route, as far as
surveyed. was much more favorable than the
route already surveyed from Folsom to Auburn.
The survey will doubtless be completed TO Au-
burn In the course OF two or three weeks, aud
the report will be made out as soon thereafter

Loss of Life.

The bark Tickery arrived at the Bay from Hum

the wreck and total loss Of the steamer Northerner
together with great number OF lives. The North
erner left San Francisco on the 4th inst for Port
land and other northern ports, and on the 5th at
five o'clock, p. NJ, struck a sunken reef off Cape
Mendocino. The pumps were Immediately set in
motion, and the vessel swung off, but finding it
impossible to keep her aAoat, she was headed for
and line taken ashore. The anchor was let go,
boat safely launched, and all the ladies taken off
except Miss Gregg, Of Portland, who refused to
leave without her brother. She was afterwards
found dead, lashed to the wheel-house probably by
her brother Mr. French, the first officer after fall
ing to induce her to leave. dropped astern, and
crushed in the boat. The body of Mr. Gregg was
not recovered The Atlas extra states that thirty

far as ascertained, are: Dell Schneider, Switzer
Kelly, Farrell, Ramsey c. Thomas, Andrew Hun

Mayhood, third officer; nine stewards, one fireman,
one coal passer, five sailors, carpenter, man
working his passage; also, Mr.. Barry, Wells, Fargo
& Co.'S. messenger, who was the last to take the
line with Cayt Dali. Poor Barry said, when taking
the line, that he could not swim and should never
reach the shore. Capt. Dali was washed ashore
much exhausted. One sailor reached the shore on
horseback. Fourteen dead bodies we're washed
ashore and buried in separate graves. Six passen-
gers who refused to leave the vessel were afterwards
taken from piece Of the wreck, and the mail was
also saved. The surviving passengers and mail
were transferred to the steamer Columbia, which
takes the place Of the Northerner.
The steamer is a complete loss, and the wreck
was sold at Humboldt The rock on which she
struck is supposed to be not larger than mans
head.

NEVADA AHEAp.-Some two months ago, we
noticed the fact that Mr.. Crenshaw. the Post
master at this place. had forwarded hundred
dollars to the Washington Monument Fund, be-
ing the amount deposited in the box at the post
Office during the month of October and part Of
September. 1t appears that Nevada is the ban

Washington Star, Of Dec. 10th. we notice the
following:

Washington. As Nevada 10 now ahead in con-

Fight with Robbers.

PLAcERvILLE, Jan. 18th, 1850.
An attempt was made yesterday morning, to rob
the stage between Angels and San Andreas. Off
GERS Gay and O'Nie, OF Sacramento, who had an
intimatiOn Of what was to transpire, took passage
in the stage. About half mile below the place Sc
lected by the robbers the passengers all got out and
followed on foot. Gay and o'Niel secreted them
selves in the rack behind the stage. On arriving at
the place. several robbers sprung into the road and
one fired pistol, stopped the stage, and with re-
yoIver cooked on the driver demanded the treasure
box of Wells, Fargo & Co.
Gay and O'Niel Immediately passed around from
behind the stage and fred the robbers, killing the
one who held the pistol on the driver, and badly
wounding one of the others. A general firing en-
sued, and some thirty shots were exchanged. Here
the passengers coming in sight, therobbers decamp-
ed, the officers In pursuit. A
The passengers got into the stage and went on.
We have no further particulars, as the officers have
not yet returned.
Passengers report one Of the officers wound
ed but he could not have been badly wounded as he
kept up the chase after the robbers.

rhe Prs.,iI.nt,s tFessage.

By the overland mail from st. Louis, the
Presidents message has been received and was
published at length in the Sacramento linton, Of
Monday, and The greater portion Of II also APP
peared 10 the Standard, Of the same day. The
document is Of moderate length, but we have
not the space TO give an extended synopsis.
He commences with some very sensible com-
ments upon the Harper's Ferry raid, and points
out the disastrous consequences to be feared
from the present sectional excitement. He
then announces, (what is not the fact) that the
Supreme Court have decided that slave owners
have vested right 10 their slave property IN
the Territories, and that neither Congress nor
the Territorial Legislature can impair this right
This decision, be imagines will forever settle
the slavery question He takes strong GROUND
against the re-opening Of the African slave
trade. f.5t.l efra.5af
Considerable space 10 devoted to review Of
our relations with foreign governments. The
difficulty with Paraguay has been amicably ad
justed, and with all the European governments.
except Spain, our relations are Of the most
friendly character. The claims Of our citizens
against Spain are still uDadjusted, and the Pres
dent's opinions, as advanced 10 bis former mes
sage, in regard to the acquisition Of Cuba, re-
main unchanged. The differences with the Br-
tish Government, growing out of the Clayton
Bulwer treaty, are not yet settled, and the San
Juan inbro Clio 10 treated ut length, and /. Is
believed the matter will be amicably settled.
The recommendation, In the last annual mes
sage, that the President be authorized TO estab-
lish one or more military posts in Sonora and
chihuahua, to protect the lives and property OF
American aud Mexican citizens, is repeated.
Attention is called to the necessity for estab'
!ishng Territorial government for Arizonia.
The President also once more earnestly rec
ommends the passage OF e law authorizing the
employment of the naval forces for the purpose
Of protecting the lives and property of AEeri-
can citizens passing In transit across the Pan

In consequence Of many OF the States having
failed TO elect their Representatives, the Pres-
dent recommends that Congress pass law ap-
pointing some day previous to the fourth of

NEVADA, WEDNESDAY, JAN. 1s, 1860.
T1,. 1,on1ssa "a. Sneaker OF the House.

The Confess for Speaker OF the House.
On the 3otb ult, the latest dates received from
Washington, the House Of Representatives bad
not sucee eded in electing Speaker, and to oil
appearances that body was no nearer an organ
i1ation than when the first ballot was taken.
Both the Republicans and Administration DEM
osrats put up au ultra sectional candidate at
The outset, and parties we're 50 divided that nei-
thsr could secure majority. On several bal
lots the Republicans lacked only three votes OF
sleeting their man, but those three votes they
will hardly be able to get as long as they stick
to Sherman as their candidate, Had the Re-
pubIieans put up Tom Corwin there Is little
doubt that he would have been elected; but Cor;
win believes in supporting the fugitive slave
law, and rather than that such man should be
elected, . majority Of the Republicans prefer
an ultra Southern man. 7af NAh staHls
As the Republicans have large plurality, II
requires union Of ell kinds, Of Democrats and
the Southern Opposition TO defeat them. and
thus far 1t has been found impossible to effect
such union, notwithstanding Mr.. Bocock, the
Administration candidate, withdrew for that
purpose. On the seventeenth ballot, Mr.. Mill
son, Of Virginia, who is ranked as an snti.Lc-
compton Democrat, received 96 yotes-1l4 be.
ing necessary to choice. The Southern OPP
position could have elected him on that ballot,
with Hye votes to spare, but they refused to
support him. On the eighteenth ballot, Mr..
Gilmer, an Opposition member from North Car
olina, received Sc votes, being the votes Of bis
own party, the anti-Lecompton Democrats, and
three or four Opposition members from Penn
sylvania. Here was an opportunity for the
Administration Democrats to have elected n
conservative man; but they knew that Gilmer
would not stock the committees with the view
Of covering up the rascaliiies Of the Admins
tration, consequently, between him aud an nj
ira Republican they had no choice. Twenty
four ballots had been taken en-averaging about
ono day. The members devote the leisure
hours Of each days session, principally to dis.
cussions on the merits Of the Helper pamphlet
by way Of advertising the work, while the boys
ere crying the book for sale on the very steps
of the Capitol.
II is certain that no Administration member
can be elected to the Speskership; and the last
few ballots reported, taken in connection with
the statements Of the national and conservative
members, indicate pretty conclusiyely that
Sherman cannot get majority Of the votes,
although he may possibly be elected by the plu-
rality rule.

Goxsrnor Wsller,s Message.

The message of Gov. Weller was laid before
the Legislature on Monday Of last week. II is
q document of great length, and the sugges'
tions and recommendations will generally meet
the appreciation of the people.
The amount Of money received in the Treas
ury from January |. 1859 to December 10.
1859, was $l,l70,S35 O3; the expenditures du-
ring that period were $9l6,lS2 %; exhibiting
an excess of receipts over expenditures of
$254,G ,G52 81.
The total amount Of the State debt, both le-
gal and equitable, is 81, 4,lS0784 26. of which
$3. 1855 900 Is in funded bonds The balance,
though not legal, is an equitable demand
against the State, and he recommends that pro-
vision be made for its payment.
The expenditure in the Legislative and Judi
ciary departments, can be easily reduced with
out injury to the public service 1t has been
the practice heretofore to employ much lar
ger number of persons in the Legislature, than
are necessary TO transact the public business.
Besides, there is great deal more printing or
dered by the Legislature than the public inter-
est demands The compensation of State Prin-
ter should be reduced
The Governor complains that nearly onehaf
of the counties have never made any statistical
reports through their Assessors, and advises the
Legislature to compel all counties to give such
information. He thinks that the property Of
the State has net been carefully assessed. and
believes that the total valuation ought to reach
$140, 900. 900, warraniing q reduction of the
State tax from 60 TO 45 cents on the 500. The
poll-tax, he says, has not been uniformly col
lected by the Assessors; the seven counties Of
Butte, FL Dorado, Nevada, Placer, Sacramento,
Siskyou and Tuolumne, pay more than one
half the revenue derived from this source.
He calls attention to the proprety of geo.
logical survey of the State; recommends that
divorce snits be tried In all cases In open court:
that an act be passed regulating primary elec-
tious; that the registration law be either re-
pealed. or changed so as to make II effective;
that measures be taken for survey of the east
ern boundary of the State; for the erection Of q
State Capitol, etc.
| Many other matters of interest are discussed
at length, and the message on the whole is one
of the best and most practical that ever issned
from the Executive Department.
