LOCAL MATTERS.

REPUBLICAN MEETING.-A grand Repub-
lican pow-wow was held at the corner of Broad
and Pine streets yesterday evening-Thos.
Fitch, the eloquent Milwaukian," being the
principal talker. A man named Staples was
first introduced to the crowd, and spoke fifteen
or twenty minutes. His remarks were common
place, badly delivered, and the two anecdotes
he told we're so far-fetched and devoid of wit. as
TO excite the risibilities of none but the profess
>ional clappers. Mr.. Fitch spoke about an
hour, and devoted the most OF the time in try
ing to convince the Douglas men that they
ought to vote for Stanford. year ago, when
Fitch was stumping the State for Lincoln, he
denounced Douglas as a traitor, demagocue.
and every other bad name he could think of;
now, he praises Douglas, but denounces those
who stand by Douglas principles. His speech,
though we'll delivered, was not remarkable for
originality or logic At the conclusion of Fitch's
speech Poander, whose name we did not
learn, was introduced to the audience. The
countryman of Pulaski and Koskiosco succee-
ded, in very short time, in dispensing the
crowd
the Glenbrook Course were opened yesterday
by race for purse of $lOO-mile heats, best
TWO in three. Three animals were entered, but
from some cause one did not run. The race
was won by gray horse entered by John Lam
caster, called the Bear river horse, which came
out ahead on the first two heats. This was sue
ceeded by several scrub races, and the days
sports concluded by half mile dash which was
wen by the "Bear river pony" A free dinner
was served up at two o'clock by the enterpris-
ing proprietors. The wrestling match, announ-
ced to commence yesterday, was postponed un-
til to-day. A trotting match, in harness, for
purse OF $lOO, is among the attractractions an
nounced for to-day. The sports will continue
the remainder of the week.
WARREN's HAIR REsToRATIvR.-Mr. A.
Il. Jenkins, of the National Exchange Saloon,
is the agent in this place for the sale of this
excellent compound. AS we have before stated,
this vegetable mixture is warrented to restore
white hair to its original color, and to produce
fine growth on the head of any one, who from
want of sense to hold his hair on, has lost the
original crop. As a re-productor the agent
himself has fairly tested it, and AYERS that it
has produced fine covering to his once bald
pate.
VoLUNTBBRs.-We are not aware that any
movement has yet been made to raise voun-
teers in this county, but we presume there will
be as soon as the election is over. Fifty com
panes in all are to be raised in the State, and
Nevada county should furnish three or four o.
these. Many of the defeated candidates will
doubtless improve the opportunity to serve
their country, by enlisting in the Government
service.
HoTRL.-We learn that Mr.. Richard Rafford
is engaged in the erection of large thTee-story
hotel, near Jacksons ranch on the Henness
road. The building is substantial frame, and
the largest of any between Nevada and Virginia
City. There is now considerable travel on the
Henness route, which will certainly largely in
crease as the advantages Of the route become
better known.
SPEAKING.-Messrs. Caldwell and Dunn
speak at North Bloomfield this evening, at
Moore's Flat tomorrow, and at Washington
on Saturday evening. Mr.. Hawley speaks at
French Corral this evening, and will continue
the canvass with other speakers, until election
day. Reports from different parts Of the coun-
" are favorable for the success of the Union
ticket.
STAGES TO WAsHoE.-Mr. A. Mau, of this
city, has made arrangements to establish reg
ular line Of stages between Nevada and ViT-
ginia City. The first stage left Nevada on
Monday morning last, and after this week,
stage will depart from here every Monday and
Thursday morning, the return stages leaving
Virginia City on the same days.
GONE TO THE RAcEs.-Every horse, car
riage, and vehicle of every kind, in Helms and
Lancasters stables, have been secured to-day,
by parties desirous of witnessing the great trot-
ting match at the Glenbrook Course. Quite
number Of ladies have left this afternoon to en-
joy the sports.
RBMovAL.-Messrs.C Carly and Hall, saloon
Keepers, Commercial street, have leased the
brick building opposite their present place of
business, and are now having it fitted up in ele
CANT style, and we learn will move into it in a
few days.
