N. C. MILLER.

HUMBUG CITY, March 9Th, 1861.
EDITOR PRESS II learn from the Press of
last week, that n. C. Miller, one of our repre-
sentatives in the State Legislature, elected as a
Douglas man, has gone over to the Breckenridge
party. Now, l am not surprised at this, for the
reason that l never had any confidence in his
political honesty, when he declared himself for
Douglas. This fact stated to my friends, when
learned he had been nominated by Douglas
convention; and had my counsels prevailed he
would have been defeated. But year previous,
he was violent Lecompton, Administration
Democrat, and when he declared for Douglas
his opinions on the Lecompton question had
undergone no change. He was as much devoted
Tin my opinion) to his former principles as he
was professedly to Douglas. He obtained his
position under false and fraudulent representa-
tions-sailng under false colors. He is now
msrepresenting more than two-thirds of his con-
stituents; and I'll venture to say, nine-tenths of
those who voted for him. He owes his election
entirely to Republican votes, most of which were
cast for him at San Juan; not because he was
the most fit man before the people, but because
of his being resident of the place. If he would
consult the wishes of his constituents, he would
resign. This he will not do, of course; for men
who obtain place and position by fraud deceit,
and sailing under false colors, never resign, and
seldom die. Power is what they want, and when
it is obtained, they not to use it for the BEN
eft of their country or constituents, so that they
can, for brief season, lord it over Gods heri-
tage.
The fate of traitor, however, awaits him.
When he shall be called to give an account of
his stewardship, the sentence of weighed in the
balance and found wanting" will be decreed
against him; and thus he will perish, as all
traitors ought to. UNION.

UBEN. P. AVERY, of the Appeal was among
the invited guests of the Union Inauguration
Ball on Monday evening. He was kept so busy
exchanging greetings with his numerous friends,
that we doubt much if he found time to "shake
leg" "run the minuette" or come down "sog-
gily" on the "double-trouble. That red nose of
his showed that the mountain airs were agreea-
BILE, and if he had INDUCED as freely in liquids
as there was every temptation to do on the even
ing in question, he might have got up next
morning with pair of red eyes also. AS it was,
being temperance man, the nose excited no
discreditable suspicious. After a forty-eight
hours sojourn he went over to Nevada, where
his arrival was duly chronicled by the General.
Bens soul-case is filled with the perfumed oil of
human gentleness and goodness. May that di-
vine ingredient prove exhaustless as the widows
cruise, and burning with fame of gorgeous
beauty, cast its light along his pathway of life
with Drummond power-consuming the wick to
its end without eclipse or flicker!

ACCIDENT AT DewNdEv4LLE.-Mr. Samuel
Langton, who in this place Thursday, fur
nished us with the following particulars of ter
rible accident which occurred at Downieville on
the 4th inst: The Union men were firing a
National salute of thirty-four guns, for that
purpose using two anvils and sledge-the
sledge wedged in between the anvils. William
Montgomery was managing the guns--loading
and firing thenl-when the sledge bursted, por-
ton of the dismembered iron striking him near
the right groin, and inficting a frightful wound,
which is considered mortal. John We'll and
Louis Rosenthal, standing off at distance Of
two hundred yeards, were also both injured by
fragments of the iron, each in the groin, but not
seriously. About one-half the sledge pierced the
wall and passed through the (bachelor) mess
room of the Sierra Citizen folks, whose dinner
was served, but Of which they were delayed from
partaking in becoming spectators to the firing.
From subsequent accurate calculation of the
range of the missile, it was ascertained that the
head of one or more of the messmates would have
been torn off had they unfortunately been seated
around the table at the time. We congratulate
them upon their lucky escape.

THINKS HE CAN BEAR IT.-Capt. Miller said,

CHANGING THE VENUE.-The bill to change
the venue in the case of Horace Smith, was in
troduced into the Senate by Mr.. Edgerton on the
1st inst, and was put though that body in hot
haste under suspension of the rules, without
even demand for the yeas and nays. Next
day it was passed through the Assembly with
nearly as much precipitancy. Fortunately, how
ever, there was call of the yeas and nays,
which we give below, that the record may live
against those men who bring discredit upon the
State by legislating specially for Individuals
thus interfering with sacred prerogative of the
Courts, and setting a precedent which, if often
followed, would be subversiye of our institutions
and jeopardize the dearest rights of the citizen

THoRNToN's s SPEECH.-A writer in the Marys-

vile, March 1st, speaks thus of secession in that
region:
"Tothe enquiry-How was Thornton's speech
received here. the answer almost universally
givenis: it has politically killed and damned
him. In conversation, with very intelligent
gentleman last evening, who has lately visited a
considerable portion of the Northern end of the
county, he informed me that the sentiment con-
tanned in the speech, is repudiated by two-thirds
ate constituents, and. the remaining one-third
give it but feeble endorsement. You may set
down Sierra as emphatically sound on the Union
question:

HIGHWAY RoBBERY.-John Quin, resident
of this place, was in search of his cows on horse
back last Monday, near French Corral, when he
was met by four Mexicans, who requested him
to dismount and deliver over his loose change.
1t so happened that the nature of his occupation
did not require cash basis, and he had none of
the circulating medium in his pockets. He
obeyed the insolent demand, and submitted
patiently to be searched. The scoundrels were
so much disappointed in their expectations, that
one of them drew long knife and made slash
at Mr.. Quin's face. He threw up his arm to
ward, and received the blow across his hand,
cutting it severely but not seriously. His ap-
peals for mercy Modified the savage heart of his
assailant, OR the latter was afraid of incurring
the consequences of murder. At any rate, he
desisted in his attack. Mr.. Quin was then re-
quested to remount his horse, which he did with
alacrity, and took his departure. He describes
two of the highwaymen as being tall, but cannot
recol1ect other particular marks by which to de-
scribe them.

LEGISLATIVE HUcKsTERING.-Mr. Heacock,
of Sacramento, said in the Senate, on the 1st
inst:
"It was intimated to me that if opposed the
bill that resistance would be made to an appro-
priation by the State towards the erection of the
State Capitol, but think know the honorable
feelings of members from the different counties
too we'll to have any fears of that kind"
1t is by trading and bargaining that nearly all
the local legislation of the State is done. Some
member has pet measure which he wishes to
get through, and he threatens, unless it is sup
ported, he will oppose the schemes of those who
oppose him. This is the average height of states
manship attained in California Legislature, and
this kind of infamous trading it is which has
heretofore bankrupted and destroyed the credit
of the State.

PERJURY AND TREAsoN.-A few evenings
since heard a naturalized citizen preaching
treason against the United States Government,
and sympathising with the traitors of South
Carolina and other seeding States. He was ex-
ceedingly rampant in his remarks, and very vio-
lent in his abuse of what he styled 'Northern
fanatics and Black Republicans" 1 quietly
asked him "whethef he had sworn allegiance to
the United States Government :" eyes" said
he. "Well," said L, "having sworn allegiance
to the Government, how can you reconcile your
oath with your reasonable doctrines?" "Oh,"
said he, 81 swore allegiance to the whole coun-
try and not a part Of it." eff such are your
ideas," replied, then you must give me the
privilege of saying'to you, that you not only
traitor to the Government to whom you have
sworn allegiance, but you are also a miserable
perjured villain!' He sloped-he did. S.
