DIRECTORY.

ED. JOURNAL Your critique on the Nevada
Directory induced me to look over the thing,
which found dangling by a long string in the
saloon of A. r. jenkins. 1t is truly lamenta-
BILE waste of the raw material. To what good
use it may be applied am at a loss to say. 1t
is certainly not a Directory in any rational
sense. When l became patron of the thing, l
supposed it was to be gotten up in a shape use
full a work of reference, but | find SO much
left out and the remainder so badly spelled as to
be unreliable, that the book is comparatively
worthless. A good Directory would be of little
consequence to our citizens who know where
every body lives in small town like this, and
stranger can certainly make no use of poor
Directory which does not have a map of the
streets accompanying it, that he may know
where to look for street in the absence of any
signs upon tho corner. Nevada has no such
signs and Of course, the stranger is obliged to
inquire the street, and while he is about it, he
may as well inquire the way to the spot he seeks.
Our streets are not SO long but the most remote
houses may be pointed out or described so as to
be easily found by any but blind man.
Schemes like this to raise the wind don't suit

A HOLE IN THE SUS.-John Mitchell writes to
the Charleston Mercury from Paris:
There is hardly daylight enough to read, but
only the kind of CHASTITY twilight which teens
with gloomy images. 1 walk moodily along the
quays, and almost fear to enter the broad shadow
of Notre Dame. In the korgue two corpses lie
stark. Men say here that something is the
cause of the cold, wet summer and autumn !;
they say that there is a hole in that luminary
,ni trou) which was well enough known befor,
but that it has grown larger of late, and is
now pit OF chasm vast enough for so small a
ball earth to roll about in it, like single
pill in pill box; and that the seasons are
altered and ruined forever. The vintage has
been both small and bad and what is worst of
all, como news from the Rhone region, and the
wines of this year, which were clearing in the
casks, quite usual, have undergone a second
fermentation during the late unnaturally warm
and damp weather. Everything goes wrong
mems blood and brain fcrment, also, unwhole-
somely; and it is generally thought that all will
explode together, somewhere about the first of
April

Thar MILITARY BILL of Gen Cobb re-
ceircs The disapprobation of the press of
the State. Newspaper editors cannot see
why tax of IS cents on an individual
should be raised to So. As the Nevada
Rifles endorsed the bill and recommended
its passage, we suggest that they offer a
proviso that two-thirds of the tax be left to
the counties to uniform the companies that
may be therein, and if there be none, then
let the fund 60 to extinguish the county
debt. The gross sum sought to be collect
ed by the bill would not fall far short of
S2O0, 900 in the State. The bill in its pres
ent shape ought not to pass.

The INDECENT Sick.
NEVADA, March 9th, 1851.

NEVADA; March 9th, 1907.
EDIreft JOURNAL The article in your last
issue asking information relative to the Inai-
gent Sick, having by many been imputed to
the undersigned either as author or instigator,
permit him te state through your paper, that
he is neither the one nor the other, and that he
is entirely unacquainted with the writer of the
article.
Yet as the Democrat seems and no doubt is
entirely ignorant of the action of the Board of
1858 with regard to the Indigent Sick, the un-
dersigned will for the information of the querist
briefly and as he hopes truthfully state their ac-
tion. In 1857 the entire cost of the INDECENT
Sick including the payment of two Physicians,
was less than five thousand dollars cash. In
1857 the INDECENT sick cost the county more
than ten Thousand dollars cash. The contract
being awarded to the highest and not to the
lowest bidder, by which award the county lost
more than six thousand dollars. The under
signed bid to take charge of all the INDECENT
sick cf the County for $1,000 in scrip, and to
supply them with ALL and every thing required
be the number seven seventy, and such bid
was not made offered after the bids were
opened, but was perfectly fair and legitimate
and bond and security offered faithfully to dis
charge all the duties of the contract. His other
bid was two dollars per day for each patient
payment in scrip,-al and every article suppli-
ed, and like bond and security offered. By
even taking the latter bid, the Board would
have saved to the County more than two thous-
and dollars the difference between the
cash and scrip value the amount of warrants
issued. Full proof was offered that the under
signed was graduate of medicine, and certif-
Gates from some five or six Physicians of the
County, stating that they deemed him entirely
worthy of, and competent and qualified TO dis
charge all the duties of the office, and also
many good and tax pa:ing citizens petitioned
the Board not to involve the County in addition
al and unnecessary expense, thereby render
ing it unnecessary to increase taxation, all of
which was neglected and refused, to the nju-
ry and damage of the County as previously sta
ted, of more than six thousand dollars and the
tax increased on the INDECENT Sick Fund, from
the Old standard of 1j, to 25 cts. All these
matters transpired before the time of settlement
with the Physicians Of 1857. Nor was there
any officially in the settlement, the Board only
paying such amounts, and such bills as suited
their pleasure. These statements are based on
no dislike or i'll will to the board of 1S5S-but
are solely predicated on the records of the
County. c. I. OVERTON.

FRIDAY MURNING, MARCH s, 1851.
THE SPIRIT eF DfsuNfON.

A long time ago the Democratic party
blszeaed spcn lis banner the mette: * that
government is best which governs least"
This sentiment of the outlaw and the iiber-
tine was prcased to the title page of the
Democratic Review, a publication In its
political opinions of the men now on the
stage of action, and to whom the destinies
Of the nation are, unhappily, in a great
measure committed. Thus was the govern
ment of the United States suffering deple-
tion, by a debauchery of the principles of
the people. But the great argument of the
subtitle Calhoun, on the powers of the
American Union, and how those powers
were derived, sapped the strength of the
government, almost, we fear, beyond the
hope of recovery. That argument is SO
adroitiy made; language is so skilfully
fnarshalled, as to almost defy the power of
the most able lcgicisn to detect the fallaces.
It is SO captivating to State Rights men,
and so mastery done, that it stands, and
will stand as a textbook, an inexhaustible
fountain from which disorganizers will
draw all their arguments, as occasion may
offer, in support of secession and nulli6-
catiou.
A worm is sometimes found in the fairest
rose; a serpent appeared in Eden j; Judas
among even the apostles, and among the
statesmen of our country an evil genius was
fated to appear whose mission should be
mischief and destruction. That genius was
John C. Calhoun. Insidious as the worm,
subtitle as the serpent and ungrateful to his
country as Judas to his master, he executed
as far as WAS in him the work of evil. He
government, undermined others, invited at
lack from the top of its walls, and left be-
hind him the Internal missiles for perverse
followers to handle against the Constitution
and the Union. The great devil departed,
but has been followed by ten thousand imps
of hell who are banding together in the
southern states of this Union for the avowed
purpose of destroying the fairest governs
ment on which the sun ever shone.
The dragons teeth sown by Calhoun have
sprung up armed men, who, with slavery as
the pretext are bent on ruin and destruction
to the American Union. With these reason
can have little or no effect. They must be
overmastered by public opinion, or made to
feel the smart of justice.
By calm and conciliatory course the
northern slave states may be saved to the
Union, for time, at least, but the spirit of
Disunion is abroad, and nothing but thor
ough eradication of the seeds Of Calhounism
from the breasts of the southern people can
secure perpetual peace to the country, if
even that can be effectual
