THE BRoDERIcK MoSUMESr.-Several plan,
have been presented to the Committee on thi.
subject. Among the plans which came within
the means of the Committee are the following
which are described in the Alta:
That by Argent and Paltengni, is Roman
Doric pedestal and sub pedestal; the plan of the
pedestal being oblong, with circular projections
and the sub pedestal being an elipsis. The pc
depal consists of plinth, base, and paneleo
frieze, surmounted by plain blocking, the sides
being paueed. The sub pedestal is richer, hav
ing pliuth. sub-plinth, and base mouldings, arr
being surmounted by an ovolo moulding az q
fllets. The frieze is enriched with reaths of oal
and laurel, and on the front is medallion
sculptured with the seal of the State of Caitqr
MIA. The sub pedestal supports statue o
Broderick in civilians dress, in the act of al
dressing an assemblage. The right hand is
tended in the act of gestculsting; the lo,
grasps a roll of documents, and rests upon t.
pedestal, over which droops the American fla
Upon the plinth Of the pedestal is the wor
BRoDERIoK and upon that upon which the statu,
stands is the motto, "HE NEVER DESERTED
PRINCIPLE" The monument is Il feet nigh, aro

another plan by these scuiptors Is as follow
A Grecian Doric obelisk; and although plain.
than toe last in detail, is much better proper
toned, and much more appropriate in desig.
1t consists of pedestal surmounted by squar,
tapering shaft, which is divided into four sec
tions by fllet-bands, sculptured with stars. On
the face of the first section is bust of Broderek,
in alto-relievo, and on the plinth is a sculpture
wreath of oak and laurel The pedestal is squar
in its plan, and otherwise similar to the one al
ready described. On the subj -plinth of the pc
destal is sculptured medallion containing the
seal of the State, and upon the necking of tn
pedestal the words, "HE NEVER DESERTED A
PRINCIPLE" This design is the only one in tho
lot which would be appropriate for granite-tfe e
others being too elaborate; and is more in keep
ing with the character of the man-pain and
massive We find also the opposite fault to that
in the first plan, the shaft being too heavy for
the pedestal. The hight is 30 feet, and it would
cost 81 500

WATER PRoPosIrIoss.-Two propositions TO
supply the City with water for fire and other
purposes, are pending before the Board of Trus-
tees. They do not differ materially from the
report of them already made public. Our object
in adverting to the subject at this time, is not to
argue which proposition is best, but to call at
tention to what is needed in the specifications
which are to be submitted, we understand, to the
people for their approval or rejection. The first
great requisite is an abundant supply, and we
trust that care will be taken by the Board of
Trustees that the companies shall both be re-
quired, on condition of a franchise, to have a
running supply of water equal to certain num-
ber of gallons per hour. The city should not be
made dependent upon a reservoir alone. The
supply of water at the fountain head is of quite
as much Importance as at the discharging points.
That proposition is best which gives assurance
of the greatest power at the discharging points
and the greatest supply at the head, all other
conditions being equal. The propositions should
be carefully drawn, and the company to whom
the franchise is given required to give ample
bonds for the faithful construction of the W )rk
in good time. There is immediate necessity
that something be done, but let it be done we'll
The propositions WILL we learn, be speedily sub
mitted to the people, when we trust they will
vote intelligently.

FROM WAsHoE.-We have seen letter
from Col. Whitman to his son, dated June
End.
1t showed all day June lst, at Virginia
city. Nothing remarkably new in the way
of discoveries. The town was growing
senSibly duller. Many were leaving and Indi
an troubles deferred people from coming in.
Provisions high and scarce. A vigilance
committee was about organizing to lynch
a butcher, but it was promptly nipped In
the bud.
In reference to the war the Colonel SAYS,
unless help in the way of provisions etc. is
furnished by California the volunteers must
disband and the whole fighting given up to
two hundred regulars on foot, in which
event he fears depopulation of the Terri
tory, as the signs of long and bloody war
are imminent. Unless the American troops
can meet the savages in few DAYS and
give them severe lesson in a great battle,
the worst is anticipated When leaving
Virginia City, Col Hays told his troops
that unless they were willing to live on
meat for some time, the road was open to
to Carson City and they were at liberty to
take it. Not man left.
great battle was expected to come off
on Sunday last. The Col says Nevada
and Sierra came nobly to the relief of their
brethren IN Utah; Sacramento did some
thing, but not more than enough to pay for
stolen horses. San Francisco, with mil
lions at stake had done nothing.

THAT'S GONE, Too.-The Supreme Court
passed judgment a few days since, in the
case of the State Us. Wells, Fargo Il Co.
The facts are well known, and substantially
these; During the winter of 1858, Wells.
Fargo Co. presented a lot of Controllers
warrants against the State at the Treasurers
office and received therefor in due time
bonds of the State. Afterwards it was dis
covered those warrants had once been paid.
but were left uncancelled on the books of
DR.. McMeans, former State Treasurer, and
had been stolen. Wells, Fargo & Co. pre-
sented the scrip and received the bonds as
agent for other parties. If our recollection
be correct the amount is some S22. 2.OOO.-
The State commenced suit against Wells,
Fargo X Co., for the recovery of the amount
year and a half ago. The case has been
pending ever since, but at last has been de-
cided and against the State, of course After
having lost the monty it was folly to COM
mence. under the circumstances o suit for
its recovery. We took this view of the
matter in the outset. The evidence of the
validity or invalidity of the warrants was
only to be obtained from the books in the
Treasurer's Office, to which Wells, Fargo &
Go. could not have access. So far as any
public evidence went the warrants were
genuine, and the holder of them innocent
of fraud,

DARING RoBBEnr.-The store of IL. H. Brown

DARING RoBBERY-The store of ii. H. Brown
at Mountain Springs, in Placer County, and
about q miles from Little York, was entered on
Monday evening last at about 10 o'clock and rob-
bed of $1,000. We met Mr.. Brown on Tuesday
from whom we obtained the following particu-
lars: Himself and Mr.. Sheldon, the clerk, we're
sitting by the stove reading A number of mi
ners had gone out few minutes before to retire
for the night. The robbers two in number. got
around and back of the stove without being dis
covered, and the first intimation of their pres
ence was the demand for the key of the safe.-
On looking up from his paper, Mr.. Brown dis,
covered two robbers masked standing over him
one with revolver in each hand, the other with
revolver and bowie knife. Mr.. Brown hesita-
ted about surrendering the key to the safe but
was pressed to hand it over which he was forced
to do. Two other armed robbers stood at the
door of the store covering the clerk with their
weapons The safe was opened and between four
and five hundred dollars in coin thirty ounces
of amalgam and dust sufficient to make u2 ST.
200 taken, One robber oficated at the safe
while the others stood guard. Before departing
the robbers took the clerk to bed room back,
bound, bucked and gagged him. Mr. Brown
was then put in the same condition and laid on
the bed. The robbers took three silver watches,
and little money from the pockets of Sheldon,
and departed locking the door of the store on
the outside. Mr.. Brown succeeded in few mo-
ments in extricating the gag from his mouth
and called for assistance, which was soon raised.
The whole affair occupied about fifty minutes
from the time the robbers entered the store to
the appearance of miners to liberate the robbed.
! Horses were dispatched to Dutch Flat and
Iowa Hill to communicate the intelligence, and
rider sent to Nevada, who found that four
horsemen passed through Lite York about
midnight who shot at and killed dog that few
out and barked at them. Four footmen were
seen to pass through Red Dog an hour or more
after. mask used by the robbers was found
four or five hundred yards on the trail leading
in this direction. Nc further clue to the robbers
can be obtained The robbed have no means of
identifying the robbers. reward of five hun
dred dollars is offered for the recovery of the
treasure and one hundred dollars for the appre-
hension of each of the robbers
| This robbery occurred within about four miles
OF the store of Weiss, which was III ike manner
robbed several months since.

the proceedings of the Douglas men in
