COUNTERPART CoIN.-The 8. f. Herald says;
"By the last steamer six hundred pounds Of
So so pieces were brought to this city by two
we'll known rogues, who managed to get ashore
without detection. Information of the fact
having been furnished to Chief Burke, he placed
the matter in the hands of officers Lees and
Johnson, who succeeded in finding number
Of the coins which had been put in circulation.
The counterfeit is very skilfully executed, and
can only be detected by a raised line running
from the tOpmost star down to the head of Lib
erty. The coins are said to have been manu-
factured in Birmingham England"
These coins will soon find their way to the
interior, and the public had better be on the
guard.

The NEws.-The intelligence from the
East by the last Pony is principally made
uD of warlike rumors, which cannot be i'm
plicitly relied on until confirmed. There
appears to be no doubt that the Virginia
Convention has passed secession ordi-
nance, and if confirmed by vote of the
people, Virginia will take her position at
the tail-end of JEFF. Davis confederacy. We
do not credit the rumor that JEFF. Davis is
on bis way to Washington, at the head OF
the confederate army, though 1t is not im-
probable that be will make such an attempt
ehould Virginia side with the seeded States.
BY remaining in neutral position, Vir-
ginia can prevent serious collisioni but II
she sides with JEFF. Davis, and allows him
to march through her territory, one or
more battles will be fought on her soil du-
ring the coming summer. The intelligence
from most of the border States indicates that
the people regard the attack on Sumter as
an aggressive act on the part of the Federal
Government. Delaware will probably
throw her Influence in favor of the Govern.
mens, and the Governor of Kentucky is pre-
pairing to place that State in position Of
armed neutrality. In Maryland and Mis-
souri,, companies are forming to assist both
sides.

THE HONEY LAKE IMBRoGLIo.-The dis
pute between the inhabitants Of Honey Lake
Valley regarding the question of jurisdiction, is
becoming serious. Itappears that consider
able part of the settlers side with the Plumas
county and California extend over the valley.
The county court of Carson county, Nevada
Territory, has appointed j. A. Slater and z. N.
Spaulding Justices of the Peace for the Honey
Lake precinct, and two others constables--an
act which is denounced as usurpation by the
State party. At the California elections, last
Fall, Honey Lake Valley cast one hundred and
fifty votes for State and Plumas county officers.
The Plnmas Standard fears that there may be
bloodshed if the difficulties are not soon ad-
iusted.

The SToCKToN AsYLUM.-On our first
page will be found an extract from the re-
port of the Assembly Committee on HOspi-
tails, in relation to the Insane Asylum.
While the Committee speak favorably of the
sanitary condition of the patients, and the
general management of the institution, they
are not disposed 10 award the late Resident
Physician much credit for his skill in curing
insanity. It appears that 10 other countries
from eighty to ninety per cent. of insane
patients are cured, when the malady ia
treated in its earliest stages. Ia this State
insane persons are invariably sent to the
Asylum in the earliest stages Of the diseases
and yet, while under the care of DIR. Ay-
lette only th!rty-two per cent. of the whole
number are cured. The comparison of the
cures while the Asylum was under the care
of DR.. Langdon, with those effected by DR.,
Aylette, is pretty good evidence that the
latter was not qualified for the position be
has occupied for some years past

STEAMBOAT ExPLosIoN.-Advices from the
north state that the steamer Fort Yale ex.
ploded her boiler, on Fraser river, April
l4th. Samuel Powell and Joseph Osborn
were killed; James Ellison and Thoa. King
were severely wounded several Others
slightly. Capt. Jameson, master of the
boat, is missing; also, a number Of Chinese
and Indians. The boat is perfect wreck
a piece of the boiler was picked up half a
mile distant from the place of explosion.

ANTI-AMALGAMATIoN BnL-The bill intro
duced into the Assembly, by Mr.. Hill of FL
Dorado, entitled "an act to prevent ANAL
gamation of the different races Of men, - was
passed on Monday by vote of 33 to Is.
The bill makes 1t penal offence for any
white person to intermarry with any "cul-
Iud pusson," whether of the African or
Asiatic races.

FIRE AT THE MINT-A fire broke out at
the San Francisco Mint, on Tuesday even
ing last. The fire originated in the assay
ing department, and had made cOnsidera-
BILE progress before being discovered not
withstanding six watchmen are constantly
on the alert. The fire companies were call
ed out, and in the course of an hour the
fire was subdued

MARYsvILLE RIFLEs.-This company, on
Saturday evening, expelled seven members
for refusing to take the oath of allegiance
to the Government, and at meeting on
Monday night their ranks were filed by
Union men. There was report that their
arms had been stolen, but it appears they
were taken from from the armOry by Union
men, lest the secessionists should freeze to
them, and have since been returned.
The Nevada Democrat., 1861-05-02

NICE DIsTINcTIoN.-We understand that
one of our iron houses has been notified by a
New Orleans correspondent that a duty of
twenty-four per cent. win hereafter be collected
on Tennessee iron in that city. 1t is wonder
the gallant city did not collect tax of twenty
four per cent. on Tennessee muskets in 1915

WHO ARE THEYf-The Chairman of the
Breckenridge State Committee, says he was
privately requested by many representative
Douglas men to call his committee together,
that fusion might be attempted. There are
many who would like to see the names Of these
representative" men.

ATTEMPTED AssAssINATioN.-The Shasta
papers say that on Sunday Of last week, w.
Luntger while returning from Middletown, was
shot at by some person concealed in the bushes
near the road. The ball passed through his
shirt and grazed his skin.
The Nevada Democrat., 1861-05-02

LONE STAR,-Around Marysville, on Tues
day morning, were discovered numerous pieces
Of white paper with lone star printed in red
ink in the center, and pasted about the city.
The people there could not fathom it, but it
was supposed that somebody desired to create n
little excitement and went to all this trouble to
get 1t up.
The Nevada Democrat., 1861-05-02

In the riot at Baltimore, it appears that
three Of the Massachusetts, soldiers we're
killed, and several wounded. Several of
the mob we're killed, but the dispatch does
not state how many.

LATER FROM THE EAST.

The Pony arrived at Carson city yesterday
morning, with dates from St. Louis to the I'D
of April. The news is Of warlike character.
The President issued proclamation on the
18th, stating that in consequence Of the seeded
States having threatened to grant letters OF
marque, he deemed it advisable to set on foot
blockade Of competent force to prevent the en-
trance OF exit of vessels from the ports OF the
disaffected States.
Lieut.. Jones, commanding at Harper's Ferry,
hearing that 500 Virginians were marching
against him, set fire to the arsenal, which, to-
gether with the arms, was consumed.
The Massachusetts regiments, while passing
through Baltimore, on their way to Washington
were attacked by a mob, who threw stones and
fred pistols at them. The soldiers fred on the
mob, and several were killed on both sides. The
mob increased, and the Mayor tried to quell the
riot. After several hours fighting, the mob
was disposed. The dead bodies of the Massa-
chusetts soldiers are to be sent home for burial.
The citizens of Baltimore and vicinity had de-
stroyed the bridges and tracks on the Ohio
Railroad, and party Of armed workmen had
left the city to repair the damages.
Gov. Hicks has informed the President that
no more troops can pass through Maryland, for
Washington, except only for the defence of the
capital.
It is reported that Baltimoreans. have de-
manded the surrender of Fort McHenry. The
commander replied that he would be compelled
to defendi it, and would fire on the city if at
tackled.
There was a report at the North that jeff.
Davis, at the head of the confederate army, was
marching on Washington, and there was great
activity in consequence. More companies were
forming and Washington was filing up with
soldiers. Gov. Morgan, of New York, has or
dered the Sixth, Twelfth, and Seventy-6rst reg
iments to go to Washington by steamer unless
railroad communication is open.
At Wilmington, Del, men were enlisting at
the rate of 20 to 100 day. Delaware will send
her full quota Of troops. The secession paper
at Wilmington was compelled to hoist the
American flag. The population of Delaware
are largely for the Union, but the State arms
are in possession of the secessionists.
Regiments are being raised in Tennessee for
the Southern army.
Gov. Jackson, OF Missouri has called an ex-
ira session of the Legislature, to meet May
second.
The Governor of Kentucky is trying to get
the banks to loan half million, to arm the
State for defence. Kentucky will remain neu-
trail.
Advices from Norfolk state that the screw
steamer Merrimack is getting her armament
on board with all possible dispatch, under the
protection of the guns of the frigate Columbia.
The Pacific Steamship Co. have supplied their
vessels with cannon, muskets, eutlasses, and
ammunition, for the protection Of passengers
and treasure. Orders went out some time since
to sheath the California steamers with iron, so
as to enable them to run down the privateers
or pirates that may attempt to capture them.

AN NANTEDILUvIAN.-Mr. J. w. Craig, one
of the owners of the Independent Tunnels, un-
der Forest Hill, brought to this Office day or
two ago, chunk of cedar wood, about two feet
long and about foot in diameter, which was
found on the bedrock, in one of the tunnels,
four hundred and fOrty-six feet below the sur
face We have never heard OF piece ofwood
being discovered buried so deep in the bowels
of the earth in California beforehand to us it
seems almost like resurrecting one of the an
cient Antediluvians. 1t was of dark brown
color, porous and spongy-no petrifaction what
ever-and had within it veritable stone the
size of a mans fist, which evidently had some
day been covered over entirely by the growth of
the wood. This curious relic of an early day,
when perhaps these mountains and valleys
we're one vast sea of water-before the Golden
Gate, the only barrier which kept this vast
ocean from commingling with the waters of the
Pacific, was swept through the Coast Range
is to be preserved and sent to the next State
Fair, for the inspection of the public Placer
Courier.

(
The general money market offers very little for
comment this evening. 1t was remarkably quiet
in all circles a shower OF rain in the middle of
the day interrupted outdoor movements but these
outdoor movements are limited. There were two
on three steamboats, discharging cargoes at the
landing, which was about all we discovered Id our
Il walks In and about the banks it was qniet--the
move ments were confined to the exchanging of
/ large note for small denominatiohs The cry for
small change appears to be declining from day to
day. Some Of the banks have all their five dollar
notes out. Considerable sums in this denomination
have been paid out to go to Texas for payment Of
the troops there. ut would be the height OF folly
for our banks at this time to expand their circula
ton, even to the amount of coin in vault. What
4 good would it do Who would be benefited, with
the Confederate money in.circnlaton to the amount
of 900 900 the amount authorized to be issned?
With this amount employed in the channels Of
commerce and trade, there will be an abundance
Of currency for oil legitimate uses. The circnla.
ton of the banks in the Confederate States is about
s44 0eo, 900. With this sum and the 500 900 900 of
treasury issues, it ia supposed there would be am
pie, in fact, more than ample for constituted cur
fancy for the Southern Confederacy. Four of our
banks came forward on Saturday and advanced
