TIE SUNDAY LAw.-The Supreme Court
rendered decision, on Tuesday last affirm
ing the cOnstitutiOnality of the Sundy law
passed by the last Legislature. The three
Judges were prepent, aud the decision was
unanimous, consequently The question is
settled. It is said that saloon keepers, and
others interested. will endeavOr to get the
law repealed next winter, but there is little
prospect of the effort being successful. It
should, however, be modified in such o
manner as to prohibit hotel and restaurant
keepers from retailing liquor on Sunday.
for as 1t now stands they can do so with
inpuuity. There is no justice in allowing
liquor to bc retailed at a hotel or restau-
rant, and prohibiting its sale al saloon.

SUDDEN DEATH.-A man living at Chero-
kee Camp, in the mountains, named John Will
son, while playing cards at his house on Tues
day morning, l7th September, suddenly fell
from his chair and expired in a few moments.
Nothing appeared to be the matter with him,
and he was in good humor, laughing and talk
ing while playing the game which was simply
for amusement. Wilson was a native of GeOr-
gia, and aged about 80 years. He was tenn
perate man and much respected by all who
knew him. Coroner Freund held an inquest
on the deceased, and the jury returned ver-
dict in accordance with the above facts, and at
tributed his sudden death to heart disease

THE LA Porte TRAGEDY.-We chroni-
oled in our last issue, a tragic affair at La
Porte, which occurred on Sunday between
an italian named Bona, and Mexican call
cd "Muchach," 10 which the former was
dangerously stabbed and the latter shot
dead by brother of the wounded mau.
We learn from the Marysvile papers that
Bona fingered until the next day, when be
expired. We took it for granted that the
Mexican who was killed was the young man
called "Muohach" who was raised 10 Ne
Vsda, and who has latterly been living at
Ia Porte. But we have since been inform
ed that there are two Mexcans known by
that name in La Porte that revolver
was the favorite weapon Of the Nevada
NuChach, and knife the weapon of the
other from which it is inferred that the
latter was the one that was killed.

ACrION or SPAIN.--Many persons are dis
posed to attach too much Importance to
the action Of Spain, in permitting vessels
engaged in Legitimate commerce" to en-
ter the Cuban ports, under the Confederate
dag. This may be regarded as an unfriend-
ly oct towards the United States, but it can
not by any means be considered a cause Of
war. An attempt to break The blockade.
or material assistance furnished the rebels.
by foreign power, would be equivalent to
declaration of war against the United
States but full recognition Of the inde-
psndence of the confederates would not be
an act of which our Government could CON-
plain. The United States, and 10 fact near
ly every European Government, acknowl-
edged the independence Of the Spanish
American colonies long before they were
acknowledged by Spain, and this, perhaps,
is one reason why Spain is in such hurry
70. acknowledge the Confederates.

THE OVERLAND MAIL.-The Postmaster
At flAcerville, telsgraphs to San Francisco,
that twenty-fOur bags of mail matter
arrived at that place, from the East, on
the 22d, and twenty.nine bags arrived on
the 23d. From this, the Placerville official
concludes that the mails are all right in
Missouri but be is probably mistaken.
The mail matter which arrived on the 22d
and 2Sd, had doubtless been received at
ST. Joseph before the late interruption of
communication on the Hannibal and St.
Joseph railroad.

New POSTAGE STAMPs.-Mr. e. +. BeAa
Postmaster Of Nevada, has received from
the Department quantity OF postage
stamps, Of the new style which be is pre-
pared to exchange for their equivalent in
stamps of the old iseue. The new stamp:
differ both in color and design from shOse
hitherto used, having the letters ~. S." in
the lower corner of each, and the respect
i've denominations being indicated by fig
ures as we'll as letters. Parties having
stamps of the old issue should exchange
them at once, as they will be received only
week longer in payment Of postage on
letters sent from this Office. The Post
masters are instructed. Ia n circular. to de.
liver letters received from Kentucky, Mis-
souri,, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Maryland and
Pennsylvania, prepaid by stamps Of the old
issue, uutiI October 1st. those from other
loyal States east Of the Rocky Mountains,
until October 18th, and those from the Pa
ci6c States and Territories until the lst Of
December, 1861. Consequently, letters
sent from any of the Ofnces in California.
prepaid by the old stamps. will not be de-
livered unless they reach their destination
before the lst of December. The action of
the Department, in issuing new stamps, aud
calling in the old, is on account of the re-
fusal of the POstmasters 10 the seeded
States to account for stamps they bad re
ceived from the Government.

The IRISH AFlER JOHN BULI--Tbe New
York Leader, in personal sketch of Col.
COrcOran, makes the following curious state
ment:
This is neither the place nor the time to speak
of another army as formidable in numbers and
at least as well drilled as that to-day under
Mcclellan, in which Col. CorcOran also holds a
post of high command. 1t is an army, scat
tered through the chief cities of the Union, and
having powerful ramifcations through dis
tant island 1t has, and for several years has
had. companies and regiments and brigades-
not seen save by the eyes of the initiated; but
meeting in squads and companies and batal-
ions, two or three nights in every week, in
nearly all the more populous towns and cities
of the Union, and undergoing the strictest and
most active drill. The army to which we refer
is loyal to the Republic, and only wishes that
the Republic we're more loyal 10 the republican
idea as understood by Mirabeau, Jefferson,
Wolfe Tone and Robert Emmet. Should the
evil destiny of England lead her to take part
against the Union in the present war, then, but
not until then, will this invisible army, in which
Corcoran holds Generals commission, swarm
forth into daylight and activity, only asking
arms and transport ships from our Government
to give full employment, within sight of the
Welsh coast, to all the naval and military Ie-
sources Of Great Britain.

INDIAN FIGHT NEAR YREKA.-On Monday
night. q party of MOdoc Indians attacked a
camp Of Shastas, near Yreka, killing one
Of the latter known as Olemaa. aud three
squaws. Oleman was a great friend OF the
whites aud very old. The cause seems to
have been revenge for an old quarrel last
spring, in which Oleman killed three or
four Indians Of the MOdoc tribe for stealing
his gun.

CoN0REssMEN.-The S. F. Herald of Sat
urday suggests that McKibbin may have
been elected as the third candidate to Con
gress, for the reason that in many of the
counties the name Of Mr.. Low was not on
the Republican ticket. If the State was
entitled to three COngre@men McKibbin
would be one Of them, having received a
larger vote than either of the other defeated
candidates for that Office.

WY THE WAR MUST 90 OE.-Thc fol
lowins passage. which occurs in late let.
ter Of w Fl. Russell. the correspondent OF
the London Times gives some reasons why
the war must 20 on:
There Is one thing to be said about civil wars
they do not last long. 1t is probable that
the "exceptiOnalism," If one may use the word,
on which the Americans rather pride them
selves will not prevail in the case of the strug-
gle between North and South. Each of the
contending parties, however, believes 1t is sure
to win. The yoicea from the South are, to be
sure, rather deadened, and those of the North
are swollen and blown out through penny trum-
pets and brass whistles, but there Is still reason
to think that both are bent on shaving 1t out.
And, indeed, the North must do so, even II sep
aration comes, for there would not and could
not be an honorable peace il it followed an un-
avenaged defeat in a contest wherein the vic
tors had announced beforehand that their OPP
ponents were destitute Of courage and man
hood. 1t would not be possible for the North
to live on terms Of decent amity with the South
if the leaders on both sides were to agree to
peace tomorrow. The violence and triumphant
iubilation Of the cOnquerOrs would render 1t
mere armistice of short duration.
Even il there we've no hope OF maintain.
ing the Union, il is far better the war should
go on until tho rebels are taught to respect
The power and courage Of the North.
