Democratic National Convention.

We are again under obligations to Kilbourn,
messenger of Wells, Fargo d Co., for the Sacra-
mento Union of Tuesday morning-the only one
which reached here on Thursday night. 1t con
tains full particulars Of the late prize fight and
of the Charleston Convention, as far as received.
We take the proceedings OF the first four days
from the Union:
In the Convention the Douglas men have thus
far carried every point.
The test vote of strength was on the rule allow
ing individual members, where not instructed to
vote separately ; and on motion to lay on the
table, the vote stood
Massachusetts, 6 Pennsylvania If Delaware,
Ia; Maryland, 30 Virginia, Is North Carolina,
Z South Carolina, g: Georgia, 10 Florida 3
Alabama 81 Louisiana, 6; Mississippi, Texas
4; Arkansas, !; Missouri, 2; California, y
Oregon, 3. Total, l0l; all the rest, 1872.
1t was also determined to settle the platform
before balloting for candidates.
Upon this an intense excitement arose.
The Comttee on Platform, by one ma jority
reported strong anti-Douglas platform, while
two majority reports had been made.
1T is upon this point the fight is now going on,
and the latest dispatch says the principal minor
ity report will receive 1870 votes, and be adopted
of course. Incidental to this, it is announced
that the delegations from five Southern States
Will withdraw and nominate Davis OF Lane, and
Fernando Wood for Vice President.
The secession would remove any remaining
doubt of Douglas nomination with, perhaps,
Stevens, Of Georgia, OF johnson, of Tennessee
for Vice President
The excitement yesterday at Charleston was
intense. A large crowd assembled III front OF
the hotel, listening to disunion speeches. They
rushed into the hotel of the New York dolega-
tion, and were driven out by the police.
Douglas friends predict his nomination to-day
lie has twenty three of the New York delega

CoMMENDABLE ENERGY.--Mr. S. Carrigan, road
overseer of Weaverville district, has obtained
permission of 0. Fox, Esq, to extend the fume
from his mining claim to lower Main street, with
which he is fast filing up the hitherto impossible
portion of the main entrance to town. In two
weeks, if water holds out, solid road will be
finished, and so high above the bed of the gulch
as to be secure from overflow. We hear some
grumblng because the road overseer is spending
so much time on the section referred to, but be-
lieve majority of citizens applaud his energy
in making the public entrance to town passable
and SECURE for the large amount of travel daily
arriving and departing. 1t is gratifying to know
that our road overseer is placing the labor where
it is most needed, and where il will speak for
itself-which has rarely been the case.

THE CHARLESTON CONVENTION our mind
the news from Charleston is sufficient to warrant
the belief that the old game will not be played,
and Smith, Jones, Muggins, or some other one
horse individual never before heard Of nom
mated. The intelligence brought by the Pony
Express, though far from decisive, Ia enough
TO lead the friends of Douglas to believe that his
nomination is certain. We shall not be at all
surprised to hear of bis having been chosen on
the arrival OF the Pony Express, tomorrow or
next day. An extra will be issued from this Of
flee as soon as the news is telegraphed.

contemporaries, who frequently brag on the length
and size of their hen fruit.
Mrs. NJ Ruch has sent to this Office hen S
egg, measuring u inches in circumference anG
8 inches long. 1t is the largest we ever saw,
and is no humbug. a short time ago a Trinity
river lady sent an egg laid by an eight months
chicken, which was Al inches long and only t,cO
inches in circumference at the largest point. Our
good friend, Mr. Gros, at Browns Creek, handed
us an egg some time since which was perfectly
round, end measured less than two inches in any
direction. The little egg not so much a
curiosity the fact that the old hen deposited
another full egg at the same sitting.
