NEVADA, WEDNESDAY, JULY 10, 1860.
The Dsmocratie nominations.

The Democratic National Convention at Bal
timore have nominated Stephen A. Douglas for
President, and Benjamin Fitzpatrick, Of Ala
bama, for vice President. II s needless for US
to say that we shall support the nominees to
the extent of our ability. We support them not
only because they are the regular nominees of
the party, but because they represent true DEM
ocratic principles, and stand upon the platform
of equal rights to the people Of the whole coun-
try. We have long regarded Stephen A.
Douglas as the first Of American statesmen, and
among the purest and best Of our public men.
For the past eight or nine years he has been
our first choice for the Presidency, and II gives
us unbounded pleasure In now being able to
support him for that position Mr.. Fitzpatrick
Is distinguished Senator from Alabama, and
is one of the few Southern Senators who has
never countenanced or counseled the vindic-
tive war which the Administration has carried
on for the past three years against Douglas and
his friends.
The political campaign upon which we are
now just entering promises to be the most ex-
citing of any that has occurred in this country
since the hard-cider gtlmes Of 1910, and at the
present time it would be idle to make any pre-
dlctions as to the result. or the four candi-
dates forl President, now before the country,
Douglas is the only one who can really and
truly be regarded as man Of the people, and
whatever may be the result, we are satisfied
that he will receive such vote on the 9th of
November next as will utterly confound his
enemies and astonish many Of his warmest sup
porters.
The nomination Of Douglas is severe and
just rebuke of the malignant and proscriptive
policy pursued towards him by the Admins
tration. For three years the man Of the people
has been hunted and vilihed by the sycophants
who moved at the nod of the President, and
hung around the skirts Of power. But time
makes all things even; and the Democratic
party, by the action of its National Conven-
tion, has taught Buchanan and bis aiders. and
abctters in iniquIty that "there's God in
Israel YETI

whole field will be greatly modified before the

A DISTINGUISHED VIsIToR.-The San Fran
cisco papers have published report to the eff.
feet that Vice President Breckenridge designed
visiting California, after the adjournment of
Congress Having been nominated for Presi-
dent by The secedcrs, he will probably defer bis
contemplated trip until next year. As there is
little probability of the people imposing upon
him the burden of governing the country, he
will have ample time to visit California in 1861.

The CALIFORNIA DELEGATIoN.--Mr. Austin E.
Smith, the fugleman of the California delega-
ton at Baltimore, in his speech Withdrawing
from the Convention, made fool OF himself,
according to the reports of the proceedings
He was called to order two or three times, and
finally his conduct became so outrageous, that
the Chairman of the Convention ordered him to
cease his offensive remarks. He then left to
join the seceders, taking with him the other
California delegates.

RAILRoAn suRYEY.

Mr.. s. G. Elliott, civil engineer, starts from
Dutch Flat, with party, on Friday next, for
The purpose OF surveying line for railroad
to Virginia City, and il sufficient funds can be
raised for the purpose, it is bis intention to run
another line from the latter point, through the
Henness Pass, to Nevada. The survey will be
merely preliminary, with the view Of demon
strating the pracsioability of the routes, and to
ascertain which Que of the two is more favora-
BILE. The intention is TO first chain the distance,
and take the altitude with barometers; after
which Mr.. Elliott will will go over the routes
alone--or perhaps with one assistant-and make
thorough examination of all The difficult
points, and report as to which be considers
the more practicable. q era
The cost of making these preliminary surveys
will amount to about $4,000. The people of
Placer, we understand, have already raised half
of this sum, which will insure the survey of the
the route by Dutch Flat; and If the people of
Nevada county, particularly those living along
the line. in Eureka, Bloomfield, Nevada and
Grass Valley townships, will raise $4,000 more
the whole programme will be carried out. If
the money is not raised, of course, the first
mentioned route only will be surveyed. There
can be but little doubt that the preference will
be given to the Henness Pass, and the survey
will have tendency to bring IT into notice and
enls! the aid of capital.
When the survey is comprehensive route
being pronounced practcable-it is proposed
to organize company in Nevada and Placer
counties, for the purpose of constructing rail-
road to Virginia City, with the view of uIti-
mately extending it cast. With an organized
company, having sufficient capital subscribed
TO fairly commence the work. it is believed that
a liberal grant can be procured from Congress,
that will go far towards completing the road.

WysuINGToN, Jan. 20.-A report has
prevailed for several days that Postmas-
ter General Holt contemplated reSigniug
his position. This originated in an under
stood difference between himself and the
other members of the Cabinet, respecting
an Interpretation of the law relative to the
curtailment of the mail contracts, but 1t is
understood tonight, that the conflicting
views have been rccouciled.
The Hera1dS Washington correspondent
says Realf, Old Browns Secretary of State
has arrived and will testify::before the Sen
ate's investigating committee tomorrow.
1t is stated that he declares that the act Of
Brown was separate from all political or
g0nizations and politicians, and that he
did nothing to implicate any member of
the Republican party. lie will testify to
correspondence between John Brown and
Senator Wilson; but lie asserts that Mr..
Wilson denounced the proposition OF
Brown to run slaves out of slaves States,
as an act of madness. This will probubly
induce the committee to call Mr.. Wilson
as q witness. Joshua r. Giddings, john
Brown, jr., a. NJ. & a. Lawrence, and Mr.
SanbOrn, of Mass, will be subpmnrd rs
we'll. ReaIf is looked upon rs :. most I'M
portnnt witness, as he has indicated that
he will make clear breast of the affair
and it is understood that he will implicatc
prominent persons in New York und in
New England.
The Post Office Department has been
notified by Mr.. Morgan, the contractor for
carrying the mails between New Orleans
and Vera Cruz, that he has withdrawn the
steamer Tennessee, and cannot carry the
mails any longer for the postage. The SER
vice Will, therefore, have to be performed
by sailing vessels.
The treasury balance is under eight mill
lions of dollars, including the amounts
subject to drafts and reserved for mint
service, upon which advances are made by
deposits of gold dust for coinage. half OF
this sum is intended to meet the Post
OHice deficiency due last July, whenever
Congress shall pass appropriation bills,
and the rest is required for 9 months end
ing 3lst December.
WAsulxuTox, Jan. 21.-Richard Realf,
who reached Washington on Thursday

ate, was this morning examined by the

reported as highly educated.
Arrangements have been made for exc
