ALMOST FIRE.--The domicil of brother
Waite, of the Nevada Journal, came near
being destroyed, Oh Sunday evening last
through the carelessness of a young female
domestic throwing the match, with which
she had just lighted a lamp, into part of
the kitchen in which there were many COM
bustible matters. Mr.. Waite, who was sit
ting with his family on the porch, detected
the smell of smoke, and fortunately in time
20 prevent the entire destruction of the build
ing. As it was, his hands were much burnt
in the efforts to subdue the flames, which he
succeeded in doing with but little damage to
the premises.-T Transcript.

A COMPARISON OF TRooPs.-The brilliant
correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial,
whose detail of the battle of Rich Noun
tain, where Gen. GARRETT was killed and
Pegram defeated, are more thorough and
explicit than any yet given. He writes from
personal knowledge, after having taken to
calm survey of the field, and holds the follow
ing language with reference to the compara-
tive merits of the Northern and Southern
troops:
If the men of Rich Mountain, whom our
troops conquered, are fair samples of the
material of the Southern army, it is absurd
to imagine that they can contend successfully
with the sons of the North in any fair field
Of battle. They must go down before our
troops single handed, by squads, by battalons
or by armies as grass falls before the mower.
Admitting equality of soul and equal right
eousness of cause, for the sake of argum ent
mere physical power of equal numbers so
greatly preponderates upon our side, that it
would be folly for the chivalry to attempt o
meet our broad-breasted fellows in a shock
of battalions at bayonet charge. They would
as inevitably "go down" as feebleness must
yield to strength. The Scions of the ''irst
(fast) families" who constituted the s'crack'
regiment of Eastern Virginia, under Colonel
Pegram, were generally-Imay say uniformly
slender and delicate, like young men rear
ed in the closet or counting house. The
best specimens of physical manhood in their
army were mountaineers; but they did not
average with our men. On the field of battle
they displayed courage worthy of american
citizeus; out rney nave 10 aumit Iney Iearluiiy
underrated the spirit and determination of
our men. They supposed when they attempt
ed to charge on the Tenth Indiana, that the
brave Hoosiers would fly, and that their
imperturability, not only astonished, but
partially demoralized them. But it is very
evident that many fought heartlessly. /
have conversed with many privates who
confess that it was difficult to fire on the
old flag. Two-thirds of them will never pull
trigger again in hostility to the "banner of

CoLD NIGHTs.-Night before last was the
coolest we have ever known in this place,
during the month of August. There was a
white frost on the ground yesterday morning,
and ice on the sidewalks that had been
sprinkled on Sunday evening. DR.. Sheets,
who lives several miles below Grass Valley,
informs us that there was frost at his place,
and we do not know how much further it
extended towards the valley. The weather
is now delightful in the daytime, neither too
cold nor too hot.-Nevada Democrat of
Tuesday.

APPoINTMENT.-We are pleased to hear
that Mr.. R. T. Roberts, of Sweetiand, has
received an appointment in the Mint-a
clerkship of some kind, we presume. His
efforts in the cause of Republicanism and
his excellent standing as a citizen entitle
him to this promotion.

HEENAN RED1vIvUs.-It is reported that John
C. Heenan, the American pugilistic champion,
who fogged Tom Sayers into his corner, and
pulling him out again, struck him blow or two
as .fnishers, has challenged call England" for
another bout-the stakes to be ten thousand
dollars side. The challenge is intended more
particularly for Jem Mace, who holds the belt,
but applies to Hurst, King, or "any other man"
who may think proper to accept. The fight is
to be on English soil. Heenan makes several
propositions, however, which are enumerated as
follows "He will stake $4,000 to $4,000, if
Mace will come to this country, and fight in
Canada; he will give Mace 81, 900 to defray his
expenses here; or the Boy will take 1000 to
5000, and fight in England, if the champion of
England will pay Heenan 81 900 to defray his
expenses to that country"

A THIRD CoNGREssMAN.-The Secretary of
the Interior has published the apportionment of
Congressman to which the different States are
entitled under the late census, which gives Cali
fornia three members. The different parties
will therefore each add another name to their

It was too late for this week, but shall appear

PROFOUND IGNoRANCE.-When Henry A.
Wise was in the lower house of Congress, some
fifteen or twenty years ago, he thanked God there
was no newspaper published in Accomack coun
ty, from which he'had been returned as Repre-
sentative. An examination of the census return
showed that Mr.. Wise had most terribly be-
nighted constituency, alarge proportion of whom
could neither read nor write.
We supposed this disgraceful fact had a limit
within the bounds Of Accomack, and that the
institution of slavery did not necessarily degrade
all other classes with whom it came in contact
excepting only wealthiest families, whose means
enabled them to go abroad for instructive infor-
nation. 1t seems we were mistaken. The
masses over principal part of the South are
without education. They are not a reading peo-
pie. All Northern newspaper correspondents
writing from that region, agree in this statement
After the fraternal. social and commercial inter-
course of two-thirds of a century with the North
ern people, they seem to-day to have as little
perception and appreciation of their true char
acter as have the Barolongs of South Africa
They have been told, and religiously believe, all
such monstsous fabrications as that the Yankees
have commenced a war of subjugation that
they slaughter men, women and children indis-
criminately; that they are determined to overrun
the South for the purpose of liberating the ne
groes and enslaving white men !; that the North
ern army is bent on pillage, confagration and
the destruction of female virtue; that, in fact,
no crime is too horrible for it to perpetrate,
no excess too Infamous for its brutal indulgence.
In this manner bad men have worked upon the
evil passions of the uninformed, and aroused all
that superstitious terror to which lliterate minds
is alarmingly subject, and which, this people
relying solely for information upon the verbal
communications of their superiors, are compelled
to receive in such magnifed and distorted
proportions of falsity as may suit the exigencies
of the case, or the designs of those conveying it.
No power short of actual demonstration, could
satisfy them how cruelty they have been deceived.
When the facts are known, as they are certain
to be one of these days, the masses of the South
ern people will return to their allegiance, and
visit a retributive vengeance upon those who
have SO shamelessly betrayed them. In
the meantime, their almost hopeless ignorance
and damaging credulity must be deeply deplored.
1t contrasts strikingly with the high state of
intelligence prevailing North, among all classes
and conditions of people, from the highest to
the lowest, in the workshop as well as the office
of the professional man-among those who are
the true nobility of great nation, and have no
idle boasts to make of "chivalry"-a term too
often used to hide the defects of vulgarity, and
furnish gloss to the infamy of crime.

FREE SPEECH.-Every American citizen lis
entitled to the liberty of free speech in the larg-
est proper degree. There is a limit, however,
even among free people, beyond which it is
sometimes imprudent to 60. The man who calls
another liar, does so at the risk of being
knocked down for his temerity. The assailant
Of personal reputation is in constant danger of
attack. Bravery and courtesy both hsve rules
for the government of human action. While
the country is engaged in war which every
loyal heart sanctions-a war to preserve the ex-
istence of the National Government, and secure
the permanent welfare of its citizens-he who
secretly or openly denounces that Government,
attempts to discourage its defenders, and utters
words of sympathy for its armed enemies-not
only violates all the propmefies Of free speech,
but renders himself obnoxious to the suspicion
tf treason. Ii Northern man in one of the
s,-called Confederate States, were even to hint
his disapprobation of the JEFF. Davis Govern
'nent, he would be hung up or shot down like a
dog. We propose no harsh measures but there
is quiet kind of indignation which can easily
silence these offensive declaimers.

LIPPITT's REGIMENT.-A requsition it is
said has been, or is about to be made upon
California, for regiment of infantry and
five hundred mounted men, to serve on the
Central Overland mail route, as protection
against hostile Indians. In view of this
fact, Col. Lippitt has ordered the men COM
posing his regiment into camp at San Fran
cisco, with the expectation of sailing at an
early day and reporting at Government
headquarters. Those who have volunteered
will thus have chance for immediate duty.
Some there are who will jump at the op-
portunity. Others may feel disappointed on
account of the nature of the service, and
decline going. company has been formed
in this county. How many will obey the
call to report themselves to Col. Lippltt,
remains to be seen.

FAIR PREMIUMs.-In glancing our eye over
the list of premiums offered for the exhibition of
articles at the approaching Northern District
Fair, we have been forcibly struck with the dis
proportions which it exhibits-the want of adapta-
ton, not only in the amounts offered, but the
objects for which they are proposed to be paid.
Let us partcularize
Mr.. A. l.. French, of this place, has invented
drilling machine which Is destined to work
complete revolution in the present mode of tun-
neling. 1t will perform four or six times the
labor, in piercing solid rock, at less than half
the expense now incurred, and thus save thou
sands of dollars to mining companies, besides en-
abhng them to complete heavy works in COM
paratively brief space of time. For the exhioi-
ton of such machine, the freight on which, to
and from Marysville, would amount to perhaps
ten or fifteen dollars, the committee propose to
award framed diploma! Per contra, the lady
who sits horse gracefully, and dashes him
around the track at the greatest speed, is to
get $50. The best piano forte is to take $50;
the best church organ $50; the best broom $40;
the best port monnaie (needle worl) $S; for the
best pulling team of six horses, $l00; best pea

The lists are open for competition to the in
ventors of quartz amalgamator, quartz crusher,
tunneling machine, mining pump, elevator

of the rifle box, sluice rake, sluce fork mining
pick, drilling machine and blasting apparatus.
Whoever is decided to have exhibited the best,
will be magnanimously rewarded with-a framed

markably high! No doubt there will be a grand
struggle among such men as French, Low,

NAPOLEoN'S DEFINITION OF SOLDIER
The military man who seeks for precedent
need go no further back than to Napoleon. His
fame eclipsed everything which went before, and
is worthy of imitation by all who come after.
In writing to Bernadotte, he gave the following
definition of soldier:
"Make no attempt" said he. 'to come into
action with the English A man IS not SOL
der. Your National Guards, your young con-
scripts, led pell-mell, almost without officers,
with an artillery scarcely formed, opposed to
More's soldiers, who have met the Grand Army,
would certainly be beaten"

POLITICAL SPEAKING.-IIon. John Conness
and Hon. Henry Edgerton addressed large
public meeting at this place on Thursday
evening. The remarks of Mr.. Conness were
principally in defence of his public career,
and explanatory of several important State
measures, passed by the Legislature, IN
which he had exerted AN active agency.
The swamp and oxerfowed lands, the school
lands, the school fana, and several other
topics 'ef vital interest to the people of Cal
ifornia, were ably discussed. This part of
his speech was pertinent and well received
His knowledge of these subjects, as of most
others of State policy, is thorough, and if he
is elected, will enable Mr.. Conness to dis
charge the duties of Governor in a wise and
we hope profitable manner to the people.
Mr.. Edgerton is brilliant and graceful
orator. iae made fine impression. His
discussion sf the State Rights doctrine was
a complete refutation of the Southern theory,
and his appeal in behalf of the Unon as
effective as it was thrilling and beautiful.
