SEcrssIoS.-A correspondent of the Vicks
burg (Niss.) Wing, dating from Warren county,
Mississippi, says: al have conversed with
nearly all of the Union men in the southern
portion Of the county, and to man they are
all in favor Of this measure-that is, If the
State should secede from the Union, then the
county to secede from the State, and place her.
self under the protection of the stars and
stripes The counties below, in this judicial
district, will doubtless adopt the same course.
:" The consequence Of such disunion, you
can comprehend better than can explain. A
county, in my opinion, has the same right to
secede from a State, that State has to secede
from the Union then, let us have a State out
of Warren, Issaquena, Washington, Bolivar,
Coahoma, Tunica, and perhaps Yazoo. Other
counties will follow before they will submit to
the onerous tar that will be levied upon them"

COUNTY SUPERVIsoRs-Th Board Of Super
yisors met on Monday-ail the members being
present. The quarterly report Of the County
Physician was examined and approved. The
bids for taking care of the INDECENT sick were
opened. Only two bids we're made DR.. c. 7.
Overton proposed to take care Of the sick for
seventy-ive cents day, in cash. or scrip sun
oient to make up that amount. and DR.. R. n.
Hunt proposed to provide for the patients at
the rate Of one dollar day, payable in scrip
on the INDECENT sick fund. There being little
or no difference in the two bids, at the rate the
scrip is now selling, the bid Of DR.. Hunt was
accepted by the Board.
On Tuesday, the Board were engaged in
transacting miscellaneous busness,-examining
accounts and petitions, renewal Of licenses for
toll bridges, etc., etc. The resignation Of G.
W. Tallman, Justice of the Peace for Washing
ton township, was accepted, and Calvin Hall
was appointed to ill the vacancy, 10 accordance
with the petition Of numerous residents OF the
township.
The Board will probably dispatch the busi-
ness before them and adjourn this afternoon.
Nothing has been done with road matters du-
ring this session, as it is not yet known what
law will be in force for this county, during the
soming year. A special session will have to be
held during the latter part of the month to
transact unfinished business.
The Nevada Democrat., 1860-02-08

HesrrrAL MATrEEs.-From the quarterly re-
port OF the County Physician, DR.. Il. N. Hunt,
we learn that thirty-four patients have been ad-
mitted into the county hospital within the past
three months, thirty-6ve have been discharged,
and three have died, leaving seventeen still un-
der treatment. At the beginning Of the year,
when DR.. Hunt took charge Of the hospital
there were fifteen patients under treatment.
An examining of the several quarterly re.
ports show that the average number OF patients
under treatment during the year was about
twenty-five, and the total cost Of their care q
little over s9,4oo, which is some $4,000 less
than the amount expended for hospital purposes
during the year ending in February 1859. Un-
der the present contract, provided the number
Of patients do not increase the cost for the COM
Ing year will be in the neighborhood Of $4,000.
About one-third Of the patients treated during
the past year, were injured in mining claims,
and the most common diseases are bilious and
typhoid fevers, rheumatism, sore eyes, etc.

TERMS OF CoURrs.-Mr. G. F. Smith has in
troduced bill into the Assembly, to fix the
terms Of the County Court and Court Of Ses
sions Of Nevada county. The bill provides that
the regular terms of the County Court shall be
held on the first Mondays in January, May and
September; aud the regular terms Of the Court
Of Sessions on the first Mondays in March, July
and November. At present there are six reEu-
lar terms of these Courts held every year. but
as il is generally the case that but little hus-
ness is transacted. considerable expense to tho
county will be saved by the proposed change,
and the public interests will be equally as well
served. Provision is made for holding special
terms whenever the County Judge shall deem it
necessary.
