A New and Valuable Invention.-Tier-
mans Floating Pump.

Machines for, and modes Of raising water, are
more earnestly sought after in the mining regions
Of California than anywhere else. Heretofore
the only available means Of getting water from
the rivers TO high mining ground, has been by
cutting bitches or raising it from the bed of the
stream by expensive and easily demolished wa
ter wheels 1t has been matter OF surprise that
more attention has not been given to this matter
by scientific men. As general thing, water or
the means of raising water, is the surest invest
ment, with view to quick returns, that can be
made in California.
We wish now to call the attention of our read
ers to a newly-invcnted machine which, if it can
perform what the discovercr claims for it, will
be Of the utmost value for use in this section.
The machine was tested several weeks ago in
Sacramento, the result Of which was mentioned
in this paper at the time.

The Pony Express, with dates from St. Louis
to April 18th, and st. Joseph to April 18th, ar
rived at Carson City early on the morning Of the
22d, making the trip between those poiuts in
eight days and nineteen hours. The news given
below is from the Sacramento Union report
THE ceremony of inaugurating the event of
the departure of the Pony Express from st.
Louis, was performed by the Mayor, who placed
the letter bag on the horse with an accompanying
speech. An American vessel had been stopped
on the Cuban coast by Spanish cruiser. .. THE
third vessel of Marins expedition had been taken
by Juarez The Judiciary Committee reported
adversely on the Presidents protest. THE
Rhode Island election was about equally divided
between the Democrats and Republicans, the for
mer clccling Governor, Lieut. Governor and At
torney General. .CoNNECrIcUr has gone Repub-
lican throughout E. THE Special Railroad Com
mittee of the House has been considering and
reconsidering the bill for ttc Pacific Railroad,
and finally on the Sth Of April, determined on
adopting the basis of Curtis bill, with a clause
that the road should touch at Salt Lake City.
This bill will be resisted in the House by large
interest favorable to the Southern project, and if
it should pass it will encounter a decided Oppo-
siton in the Senate. -. OUR Government is in
receipt of intercepted correspondence of Mira
mon with Marin, showing that the object OF the
former was "a blockade of the entire Mexican
coast also of the French Commodore against
the course of Commodore Jarvis. JENKINS, Of
Va, (Dcm.,) called Farnsworth, of H., (Rcp,)
liar in the House Of Representatives on the Sd

amendment to the Indian Appropriation Bill to
the effect that California be allowed to take care
Of the Indians within her own borders and thus
reduce the expenses of the Government. He
said it was not often California came there
preaching economy, but many thought she was
entitled to hearing. -. WHILE the antPolyga-
my bill was being discussed in the House, great
confusion existed, which nearly resulted in gen
cral fight. THE Democratic Convention was to

WEAYERvILLE WATER WoRKs.-Few towns in
the State are more fortunate than this in being
well supplied with good, pure water. The water
works of Chase g. Sales, built last summer, can
now supply the whole town, having sufficient
head to raise water to the roofs of the high
buildings on Main street. The rates for furnish
ing this hcalthful liquid are very reasonable, not
withsIanding which there is much imposition,
many persons using the water because it can be
had at their neighbor's tank, without ever stop
ping TO think that they do the proprietors injus-
tce by using that which they dom pay for and
which il costs money to supply. Pay for the
water or don't use it,

THE STREETs-We hear city newspapers com

generally cannot have There is 10 dust in
Wcavervile. Be the wind gusts ever so strong,
the least particle is not discovcrable in Main
street. John Clifford is sprinklng the streets
again, while Mr. A. Shepard, as an improvement
on the old way of laying dust, is using the water
supplied by Chase ~ Sales, which, with the aiC
of hose and spout he distributes over the streets
and sidewdlhs, washes windows, aud anything and

A FRIEND OF DECEASED

CHARLESTON CONVENTION. - That President
nominating body met last Monday, The vote
was to have been cast by ates-castng as many
votes as in the electoral college. The Free States
would have 3GG delegates, and the Slave States
24O, which with the political outsiders generally
admitted, will swell the attendance to between
COO and 700 persons There is no certainty who
will be chosen TO lead the Democracy to battle
the coming autumn if Douglas is not nominated.
If unanimity prevails in the Convention, and the
nomination made within five days after the time
of meeting, il will almost reach here in time for
the next issue Of our paper.
