LOCAL MATTERS.

THIRD TRIAL OF JENKINs.-The case of
A. r. Jenkins, charged with violating the Sun
day law, is now being tried for the third time
before Justice Kendall and jury. We are
informed that on the first trial all but one of
the jurors were in favor of acquittal, but on the
second ten were for conviction and two for ac-
quittal. 1t is conceded by the jurors, general
ly, that keepers of hotels and restaurants have
right, under the law, to retail liquor on Sun
day, as a part of their business; the only ques-
loon, from being in the same building with the
hotel, and the room and bar-fxtures rented of
the landlord, is upon the same footing as though
kept by the proprietor of the hotel.
THE MAGAzINEs.-Harper' Magazine, the
Atlantic Monthly and Knickerbocker, for Oc-
tober, were received by the late steamer, and
may be had at the book store of 6. w. Welch,
Commercial street, and of A. p. Church & Co.,
Broad street. Harper's contains the new poem
of Alexander Smith. entitled edwin of Deira,"
which occupies some twenty-five pages of the
magazine. The Atlantic and the Knickerbocker
are each filled with interesting political literary
and miscellaneous reading.
COMMENCED WoRK.-Mr. A. S. Hallidie,
contractor for building Pine street bridge, arriv-
cd in town night before last, ard workmen are
now engaged in clearing away the ruins of the
old bridge preparatory to erecting the founda-
tion for the new structure. The suspension
wire arrived in town this forenoon and the re-
mainder of the material is expected this eve
ning The bridge is to be completed by the first
of January.
CAPTURE OF Fort CLINE.-This institu-
tion, situated at the foot of Pine street, was
captured yesterday by Col. Hallidie, with
small force of picked men from San Francisco.
1t seems that an attack was anticipated by the
forces within, and the fortress had been dis
mantled of its heavy armament, the whiskey
kegs and lager beer bottles spiked, and Mike,
the "Brigand of the Bridge" succeeded in maxi
ing his escape.
PAYMENT OF POsTAGE.-More or less let

FIRBMAN's BALL.-The frernen's ball, at
Timbuctoo, night before last we learn was a
splendid affair. Delegations from the Fire
departments of Marysville, Nevada and Grass
Valley were present, and the Nevada boys who
have returned, express themselves as delighted
with the hospitality of their Timbuctoo friends.

DEATH OF JOHN A. WAsHMGTON.-A cor
respondent OF the Cincinnati Commercial,
writing from Camp EIkwater, Sept. 10th,
gives the following particulars of the death
of Col. John A. Washington
On Friday afternoon, about o'clock, a small
scouting party was sent out to recOnnoitre on
the right bank Of Elk river, which flows some
miles upon our right. They had not left the
outer picket post 10 minutes, when party of
seven rebel horsemen approached them. The
commander of the rebels rode leisurely a few
PAGES in front of his escort, and seemed to-
tally unaware of any danger. Our scouts waited
until the party came within short range, when,
from some inexplicable reason, the coming par
ty took the alarm, and suddenly turned their
horses heads to retreat. As they did so, how
ever, the Federal party fred and the officer,
who in the retreat was in the rear, fell from his
saddle. His escort fed like cowardly poltroons,
leaving their commander wounded, and dying
upon the roadside. The Federal party ran up
to the wounded man and found him partially
raised on one hand, attempting to grasp his
pistol. As they approached, the dying man
smiled family, and said, "How are you, boys
Give me some water" One of the party placed
his canteen to the soldiers lips, but they were
already cold in death.

F~THR OVERLAND TELEGRAPH. The Alta
thinks the overland telegraph will be completed
in about fifteen days. Speaking of the line it
says:
The wire is regular telegraph size, about
number nine, made in half mile lengths, and
when put up, each connection is soldered to-
gether, making, as far as possible, continuous
wire. From MIR. Jas. Gamble, the Superinten-
dent of the company, who has just returned
from two months journey along the route of
the line, we learn that the Indians have been
made fast friends of the Telegraph Company,
and consequently all danger from their hostility
Is avoided. Both himself and the builders have
used every exertion to have the Indians under
stand the matter, and by treating them perfect
ly just, have gained their friendship. This is
most important item, and will save the compa-
ny considerable money, as without their good
will both the poles and wire wonld suffer either
from recklessness or Intentional damage.

The southern idea that accession would
bring ruin and starvation upon the North
does not develop very rapidly. The stock
markets have been very quiet the past week,
with stiff and advancing prices, and rates
Of interest have gone down to Gallo per cent.
The S. @. act Of secession is pretty well
over; and the northern people generally
made up their minds not TO be frightened
again until the "wolf' comes in earnest.
More or less failures are occurring, as is
natural from the falling of 10 some classes

We have already alluded to this subject, aud
our own views thereon will not be mistaken.
The subject is one which is acquiring import
ance not so much because Of southern griev
ance, as an apparent readiness on the part OF
the north TO make these bs the bone Of con-
tention. The course of the north in demonstra-
tioDs towards recognition of their occasion
of offence, and willingness to repeal them, is
rather 10 advance of southern demand, aud to
that extent we think, puts the north to disad-
vantage. In Congress there is an evident look
ing in this direction to appease southern ire and
within few days leading politicians of Massa-
chusetts, have made move 10 this direction
which has been indorsed with the favor of the
Springfield Republican, The Republican takes
the groHnd that by the removal of these acts
those in that section who are fighting the bat
tie against slavery on the same side as those
who voted for Lincolr, are propOrtionaby
strengthened. The contest is now substantial
ly transferred to the slave states, and the allies
Of the Union and Of the republican party there
need and demand the repeal of these laws.
The chief objection to our mind, is that we
are making haste to abase ourselves while the
south propose absolutely nothing which looks
like compromise on her part. Our nation is to
treat the south and her interests in accordance
with strict justice, but, if not in advance Of at
least simultaneously with such movement, entire
security TO the persons and property of citizens
of the north as provided by the constitution,
should be insisted upon. Something of this
kind on the part of the south seems to be ne
cessary to prepare the public mind for an ap-
proyal and en- 1orsement Of such action. Unless
this be the case the mere repeal of legislation,
will have little effect upon northern conscience
and conviction of right Northern faith in
compromises has been considerably shaken, and
unless that can be restored, and we can be made
to feel that the south is party to the terms,
actuated by an earnest fidelity to the common
veal little good can be hoped from the work
of patching or modifying the surface while the
real difficulty the seat of the disease is un.
touched.

EB- The prominent feature Of the weeks
news is the abandonment of fort Mopltrie, by
its commander, Maj. ANDERSON, aud his three
score OF troops on the night of the 26th ult.
Acting without orders, as the president asserts,
he spiked the guns and burned their carriages,
aad took possession of fort sumpter, a point
nearer the city and commanding the harbor
more completely, as well as the other forts of
the harbor, and being surrounded with water,
and is in all respects an almost impregnabe po-
sition. The step is commended by Gen. ScoTr,
as piece of strategy, but in all other aspects
mEst be viewed as the most disgracefu event
that has happened 10 this country since it es-
tablished its independence. 1t brings the gov
ernment and the country into contempt That
4 great nation like this, with inexhaustible re-
sources Of men aud means. should be driven to
such straits by an insignificant rebellion 10 a
state that has not white men enough in il for
third rate city, az to be obliged to spike its own
guns and destroy their availability on it's own
soil is something to make the blood tingle in
the veins of every true American. II ii does
not arouse the people of the whole country to
. vigorous purpose to maintain the Union, and
crash out treason at any cost, then there is moi
vitality enough in the patriotism of the coun
try, to make It worth o struggle for its preserva
tiou. Will not this act be made the turning
point Of the crisis. and the lines drawn betweeI
traitors and patriots, between the friends aD'
enemies Of the Union.

n1~ One Of the prominent causes of the
recent panic was the sudden and rapid de-
probation of the prizes of State stocks,
heretofore considered among the safest
Securities for investment. The argument
was, naturally, that if State stocks were
loosing their value, it must be because the
Union was in imminent peril, and the States
themselves approaching ruin consequently
upon its dissolution. Large amounts of
Missouri and North Carolina State stocks
were suddenly thrown upon the markets.
and falling to find immediate buyers, de-
cline in price of course ensued. 1t now
turns out that the stocks thus thrown on
the market were fraudulently distracted
from the Safe of the Interior Department!
Those wbo took them, having obtained
them cheap, could afford to sell at low
prices, and by the sale they accomplished
the double object of plundering the Gov
ernment. and Of encouraging the attempts
made for its overthrow. Thus Corruption
was made the means to forward Treason,

AnpREss OF S. CARoLINA-Tbe address of
South Carolina TO slave-holdiUg States has been
put FORTH but is too formidable IN length for
place in our columns 1t is curious document
and the grievances set forth will appear singular
ly wanting in all the elements of provocation
and Importance to justify the high handed trea-
son, for which It serves the purpose of pretext.
Curious document, to say the least. The prin-
cipal grievances alleged are !: l, That the North
eru States have taxed South Carolina unjustly
through the Tariff 2. That the Northern
States do not love and adore Slavery and g.
That those States hold to the doctrine that the
majority, and not the minority, should govern.
Such positions are too Aimsy and unsatisfactory,
and do not present sufficient cause of action
for S. Carolina to stand upon before the coun
try and the world. She has suffered her i'm
petuousity TO get the advantage of her judge
ment and she can hope for little Of that sym
patty which gives moral strength and dignit.

II has been noticed aud wondered at that the
S. Carona Legislature and convention have as
vet devised no means to raise the money indis-
pensable to carry on a separate national exist
ence, with the exception of the loan Of 100000
and that nothing is published in regard to the
takers of that. But there is phase of this
matter which is sedulously concealed from north
ern ears and eyes. 1t is beginning to leak out
now through private, but reliable information
that merchants aud other men of property are
compelled by threats Of personal uiolence to be-
come subscribers TO the State Loan. Some who
we're told that unless they paid $1,000 each,
their houses would be torn down over their
heads have paid it and then fed for their own
safety and that Of their families, to cities fur
