MARYSvILLE.
SATURDAY MORNING, MARCH Sd.

D,yGruoUs AcclDENr.-Y esterday after
noon. as George Walters, the first engineer OF
the Marysyille Foundry was adjusting the
line shafts, portion of his clothing was
caught in the machinery, and narrowly es-
caned instant death. He was standing on
the ton round of a ladder at the time, and at
a considerable h eight. lie had on four shirts,
linen and flannel together, and these were
stripped from him in second, leaving him
entirely naked from the hips upward. BY
desperate effort he managed to extrieate him
self from the machinery and keep his hold on
the ladder. Coming down from thence, it was
discovered that he was severely injured, his
side having been scraped heavily with the
iron or steel, and his arm badly damaged, but
not broken. lie was Immediately taken to
his house on A steeet, and DIR. Talbert called
to attend him. The Doctor was not pre-
pared to say, during the afternoon, whether
the patient had received any internal injury
or not, but saw no present evidence OF it 1t
it not by any means certain that the injury
will prove fatal, but the Doctor will be able
to Judge Of this long before the appearance
of this account in the paper
Daily national Democrat., 1860-03-03
win 1t be Done.

1t is said that there is good prospect of
the passage of Pacific Railroad Bill by the
present Congress. An almost universal SEN
timent in favor of immediate action on the
subject is reported to possess the minds of
Senators and Representatives at Washington.
The news seems only too good to be true
We can scarcely hope that so happy a state
ofthings exists. And yet we can readily be.
lieye that the chances in favor Of road are
better than formerly. The Senate, constitu-
ted as it is Of a majority of Democratic mem-
bers, will not like very well the responsibil-
ty of fasteninga defeat Of the Pacific Railroad
upon the Democratic party, just on the eve of
a great Presidential contest. Neither will
the Republican predominating element in the
responsibility. Both Houses will necessarily
view with marked favor any reasonable prop
osition having for its object the accomplish
ment of this important work, and one will
not allow the other to get ahead of it in any
scheme or measure likely to be at all popu. |
lar The Republican party as early as 1856 |
the Pacific Railroad as q plank in |
their platform, and have made it matter Of |
strong accusation against the present Demo
cratic Administration that it has done moth |
ing toward building this road. If they had
been in power they say, it would have been
different. Well, now, if they can make any
capital by showing strong disposition in
Congress toward the consummaton of this
work, they will do it. And the Democratic
members of the upper House cannot afford to
allow them, in this respect, any advantage,
for it would have telling effect in the COM
ing campaign for President.
1t is rather a humiliating confession that
we cannot expect anything from the National
Legislature upon the plain merits of a great
measure like this, but it is nevertheless true
that, nowadays, the fate of the country
itself depends upon the trickery of politicians
far more than upon the wisdom of statesmen
Unfortunately We have only one Douglas in
the Senate and none in the House of Repre-.
sentatiyes.

The Weller Faction Slaughtered.


The election of Latham delegates to Charles
ton is the last severe kick which the expiring
Gwin-Weller Dynasty has received. Wellers
Yu6a county champions, Iindley, Magruder
and the rest, were not whit luclier in
their efforts ia his behalf in the late Conven-
tion than in their previous vain and frantic
attempts to elect him United States Senator.
They have served him faithfully and well,
but he is now past their help and they can
only, as they stand by his political bedside,
pay him the last sad duties of disinterested O
friendship and take their leave of him for
ever With sorrowful faces do they return
to "the bosoms of their constituents" aud
the people exclaim as they pass, Behold
how they loved him !"
But these stalwart representatives Of the
Court House Clique will long be remembered,
not only for their devoted attachment to a
failing cause and dying master, but for
their wise, O praise-worthy O hostility to
Stephen A. Douglas, of Illinois-a man who
should of course be exeerated wherever the
name of Buchanan is breathed and the cloven
hoof Of Leeomptonism indents the soil. Nobly
did the Spartan band of "Yuba's classic
shore come up to the work when it became
necessary to cast sIur upon the proud crest
of the great Democratic leader of the North
west. Boldly did they advance to the sup
port of the resolution offered by Vincent E
Geiger, of Nome Lackee, declaring that
Stephen A. Douglas was the last choice O
California for the Presidency. Not content
with expressing their preference for DAME
S. Dickinson, they were glad to record their
votes in favor of resolution contemptuous
| ly designating Stephen A. Douglas as the lds
choice Of the California Democracy. Gould
the thirty thousand voters of California, who
were excluded from voice in that Conven-
J tion have been represented how would they
have answered such proposition? Even a:
i: was, it was tabled by a vote of 9S5, to Go
But the Court House Clique did not fail tC
enroll themselves with the sjzty fre.
Spartan band, truly! Douglas is their las
choice. After every other man in the United
States has been presented as q candidate fol
the nomination of the Charleston Convention
and all have been rejected, why, then, wher
there are no more candidates in the field, and
the Convention, as the last resort, nominate:
Douglas, they are for him, but not till then
They prefer any other man in the whole
United States to Stephen A. Douglas Well,
these gentlemen have undertaken to run a
muck against the biggest man now moving
in the ranks of the Democracy-and not only
this, but to publicly sneer at and revilo him,
and in SO doing have sufficiently defined
their positions. They may find the path
they have chosen little bit thorny before
they get through with it.

The New QUICKSILVER MrNEs.-The Napa
Reporter of the 25th ult., says: There is
nothing of special interest in relation to min
eral discoveries in Napa county or vicinity
There is little excitement on the subject,
and for this reason the explorations and as.
says now in progress will be more apt to lead
to useful results.
The discoveries of copper ore may also
prove valuable, but we cannot speak definite
ly of the richness of any specimens hitherto
examined. The most that can be said is that
they promise WELL Some of our most intel
ligent citizens express their confidence in the
existence of rich silver ore, and are bent on
finding it. As to the discoveries of quicksil-
yer, no one pretends to deny it. 1t will ap-
pear before long whether they are rich
enough to "Pay." For our own part, we be-
leve they will.

The REAsoN.-The ladies, we find, are
complaining that the gentlemen are not so
attentive as usual Bless their souls, don't
they know it is Leap Year, and that the la
dies are expected to do the agreeable? ? The
ladies must make all the advances during
this present year. The thing is settled, and
any masculine who infringes upon this right
by making any advances himself will lose
caste among his fellows. 1t being leap year
the feminines are expected to leap all barriers
of ordinary custom, and the best acrobat
among them will be the most honored.

TnE QUARTZ IN SOUTHERN ORREoN.-The
Jacksonville Sentinel says that Jimy Hays
owner of one fifth of the Ish claim sold his
interest for $4,000. Since then the claim has
been worked with but Indifferent success
The excitement has nearly subsded.
OF the Hicks claim the Sentinel savs:-
Hicks vein continues to yield as richly as
ever, or in fact more bountfully, to its pro-
prietors. On Saturday morning last, in about
two hours, the brothers got out nearly 81 900.
Two pieces, each the size of hens egg, were
exhibited to us, surprising anything we have
yet seen. The gold was positively protrud.
ing in bits as large as a pea and again wo-
ven through it into thick veins like tangled
coarse silk The proof Of the pudding is in
the eating, and we want no better proof of
the richness of Hicks claim than the weekly
productions they derive from it.

lates that horse Hief, named Hunter, was
shot by John Clemens, recently, on Butte
Creek. Now, the fact of the case is that
Clemens, alias Mccullough, was the horse
