their advance consists of about 800 cav

ELECTORAL TICKET.

The PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIOS.-Ne have
beard il suggested as one OF the means of
eIiciting full vote, at the Presidential cleo
ton, that the candidates for Congress in the
several districts have the Electoral Ticket
printed upon and distributed with theirs.
This, we are persuaded, would be of consid-
cradle advantage, and we hope the sugges-
ton viii be acted upon without delay. We
take il for granted that no one aspires to
seat in the Confederate States Congress who
does not desire full and uneqnivOcal ex-
preston of the voice of the people in the
choice of President; and that every Candidate
will take pleasure in having the Electoral
Ticket printed aud circulated. But, we must
not rely entirely upon this source. Tickets
should be printed and circulated gratuitously
in every county. Wherever there are presses,
this can be done without any Inconvenience.
1t is different, however, in those counties
which have not such advantages. To supply
these, tickets might be printed here and for
warded. There is no Central Committee
here TO take charge of the matter, unless the
last Committee viii agree to act. Whatever
is done should be done promptly.

RUNAwAY.-Two men from Grass Valley
were driving down Commercial street, on Sun
day evening, in buggy with two horses. From
some cause the horses took fright and run at
full speed down the street. The men jumped
out, and were pretty severely injured, one of
them having his shoulder dislocated. The
horses continued on their course until they
reached the junction of Cayote street, when
both the buggy and horses came in contact
with the awning posts and ire-plug in front Of
DIR. Hunts drug store, smashing the vehicle
and throwing the animals. One of the horses
had bone in his left hind leg broken, but will
probably recover. The team belonged to Mr.,
Frank Woodwork, of Grass Valley.
THE HENNEss RoAD.-We learn that the
Henness Turnkike Co. have large number of
men employed in improving the county road
this side Of Eureka. This road leads into the
Henness Turnpike, and being the most diff
cult part of the road to Virginia City, the
company are putting forth every exertion to
improve it before the snow falls, so that COM
munication may be kept open all winter. Un-
less the winter should be very severe, and the
snow unusually deep, the route can be kept
open without difficulty.
THoMPsoN's DEFALCATIoN.-Judge Bel
den, of the Probate Court, and District Attor-
ney Gaylord, have been engaged for some time
in examining and investigating the accounts of
H. D. Thompson, the late Public Administra-
tor. We learn from them that the total amount
of Thompson's defalcation does not exceed 49,
600, and is probably not more than $1,000. The
exact amount cannot be ascertained as Thomp-
son carried off many of the vouchers and pa
pers Of the office.
