"NInko up Your mind to IT,"

The Philadelphia Presbyterian, under
the heading of "Mako Up Your Mind to
It," thus expresses its views on "pcacc
propostions;" s..
"a gentleman, not very distinguished
for ardent patriotism, doclaiming against
the war as having in a large measure ar
rested the wheels of business, and inter-
iercd with his usual prosperity, friend
properly rebuked him in terms like
these:
"This war has been forced on us. II
must necessarily y produce distress. Asa
citizen you may as well make up your
mind TO bear a portion Of the BURDEN
You have been accustomed TO look exclu-
sively after your personal interests; now
you must enlarge your views, and aid the
public cause. The very existence of the
Government, under the shadow Of which
you have prospcrcd, is in peril: if il fulls
you fall; if it prospcrs you will prosper!
II, TO escape temporary sacrifice, you
would patch up a false, Fictitious, and
dishonoruble peace, you are unworthy Of
the name of an American and freeman.
"The answer was Just one. The
mercennry cry of many Is the war is ru-
ining us, and the selfshness il betrays is
the very ground on which it is attempted
to form party to frown down the war at
all h0Eards. What is 20 become Of our
Confedcracy, our Government, our future
freedom, do not enter into the caleula-
ton. Surely American virtue is at low
ebb if we are not willing to make sac
rifcos, and to bring down our high aspi-
rutions after fortune, for the sul1e Of our
country These are times when every
good citizen should be willing TO bring
down his notions to war standard. He
must willingly suffer, as the people of
our old revolution did, for the sake OF the
country. Those who cry out for peace
on any terms little dream Of the sad in
heritance they would leave their children
in land divided Into factions and rent
by interminable future wars. No; the
sacrifice is nothing compared with the
miserics which would be brought upon
us by the splitting Of our country into
number Of contehdng communities. III
such an evil is TO beiall us, which, may
God in his mercy prevent, let il not at |
least come through our recreAnt, our low |
selfshness, and our base betrayal Of the !
precious trust reposcd in US"

No sooner had the brigade taken this posi-

on this success, body Of sixty or seventy

THAT MILITARY BnL.-The Shasta Cou-
rier has examined Gen. Cobb's military bill,
and thus notices il:
We can see no sort of reason for increasing
the military yearly tax from Is cents (the pre-
sent fgure) to $50. Neither can we perceive
the propriety or reason of exempting from this
tax "ciyil officers of the United States, estate
officers and Legislators" commissioned Off
GERS of militia" and "members of organized
volunteer companies who have done duty at
two or more drills or parades." As all these
persons are citizens Of the State, we do not
perceive any reason why they should be exemp-
ted from the duty ofpaying military tax. The
civil officers Of the United States in California
are citizens of California, and are holding lu-
cratiye offices. They are as well able'to pay any
tax that the laboring men ofthe State are called
upon to pay. And why should member Of
the Legislature or State officer not pay this tax,
or Militia General, just as well as an editor,
or merchant, or farmer, or mechanic, or
day laborer?

LATER FROM THE EAsT.-The Pony Ex-
press arrived at Carson City on Tuesday
morning. with dates from st. Louis to Feb
ruary goth. Nothing of startling interest
has occurred. jeff. Davis was inaugurated
as President of the Cotton Confederacy on
the 18th. The Peace Congress has accom-
pished nothing as yet, and no definite &C
tion has been taken by the Virginia Con-
vention. Elections had been held in Mis-
souri, and Arkansas, for delegates to State
Conventions, to consider the State of the
Union, and as far as heard from both States
had gone Overwhelmingly for the Union.
This result was expected in Missouri but
Arkansas was regarded as doubtful State.
In ST. Louis, unconditional Union men have
been elected by 5000 majority, but ma
iority of the delegates are Union men, con-
ditiona on the settlement of existing diff
cullies The rumors are renewed that Fort
Sumter will be attacked about the 4th of
March also, that South Carolina will de-
mand from the Montgomery Convention a
guarantee Of free trade, and will oppose
any duty higher than six per cent. If this
demand is not complied with, we suppose
South Carolina will secede from the Cotton
Confederacy. An Unauthorized COnVen-
ton in Maryland has adopted resolutions
in favor of State Convention, and it is
stated that Gov. Hicks is disposed to call a
Convention in the event that the Peace
Conference and Congress fail to effect sat
isfactory settlement.

A GREAT FooT RAcE.-Sporting circles in
this city, says the S. F. Herald Of Monday,
were yesterday considerably agitated by the
great foot race to come off over the Pioneer
Course, between two celebrated runners, Der
rick and "Shepherd Boy" The race was for
$500 a side, and to continue for ten miles
straight through. About twelve hundred per-
sons collected to see it, betraying considerable
interest and excitement. At the word the men
took their places, both appearing fresh, clean
hmbed and eager. The contest was so close
that a blanket would have covered both run
ners nearly the whole ten miles. On the eighth
mile Derrick sprained his ankle, which gave
his adveriary all the advantage. He neverthe-
less made gallant struggle and only lost the
race by twenty feet. The following table will
show the time made on each miie

INSANE ASYLUM,

From the annual report Of the Resident
Physician Of the Insane Asylum, which has
just been published, we gather the follow
ing statistics On the first of December
1859, there were $40 patients in the Asylum
300 males, and Ga females admitted dur
ing the year, 19l males and 81 females,
making total of 6l8 patients treated.
During the year, lO4 males and 33 females
were discharged so males and females
died. and ten male patients eloped, leaving
in the Asylum on the first of December 1860,
AIT patients-332 males and 81 females.
The increase of patients during the last
year was AZ. while the increase of the pre-
cedng year was 81. The annual expense
of supporting each patient has been reduced
from Sl00 16-the cost Of the year 1859
to SI72 63-being SO 80 cents week for
each patient. This reduction is in part at
tributable to the fact that the labor of the
patients, in the improved state of the
grounds, has nearly supplied the Asylum
with vegetables and fruits.
OF the 248 patients admitted during the
year, ia were natives of the United States,
and 1874 of foreign countries OF the form
er, 3G we're natives of New York, IL Of
Pennsylvania, and 10 Of Virginia; of the
foreign born, 40 were natives of Ireland,
"a of Germany, IA of England, and 10 of
France. Among the causes Of insanity, of
those admitted during the year, 10 cases
arc attributed to religion, and TO spritu-
alism.
Although the increase of patients during
the year was less than anticipated, still the
number is steadily on the advance, and un-
less something is done to arrest this pro-
gress, steps must be taken TO enlarge the
accommodations. The Asylum is already
over crowded, and both the health and
comfort of the patients will be prejudced
by any addition to their numbers. without
corresponding addition to the buildings.
Cases of idiotcy, epilepsy, and dotage, are
brought to the Asylum and inofFensive un-
fortunates are thus thrown upon the charity
of the State, and the institution is made to
partake in great measure, Of the charac-
ter of an alms-house and hospital.

THURSDAY EVENING, MARCH 7, 1861.

TIE REVENUE LAWS, during the late
session of the Board of Supervisors, ques-
tion was raised as to whether any, and If
so what portion of the revenue law OF 1860
is now in force 10 this county. We notice,
too, that similar dlflicalty has arisen in
other counties. The assessment of the
county, this year, will be made under the
old law, but District Collectors will be elect
ed next September, aud whether they are
to collect any Of this years taxes is
doubtful question. 1t is also a matter Of
doubt as to which law is now in force in
regard to the collection Of liquor licenses,
and dealers will perhaps take advantage of
this doubt and refuse to pay any license
until the question is determined by the
courts. The change from the old to the
new revenue system is certain to give rise
TO almost endless difficulties, and 1t is much
10 be regretted that this county was not
exempted from the provisions of the act of
1860. The new law was doubtless perfectly
clear in the minds of its authors; but much
OF il cannot be understood by the revenue
officers.

DESTRUCTIVE FRE.-A destructive fire
occurred at Quincy, Plumas county, on
Thursday evening, February 2Sth. The
flames were first seen proceeding from the
roof Of the American Hotel, and although
the alarm was Immediately given, the fire
gained SO rapidly that all efforts to stay its
progress proved futile, and in few mo-
ments the entire building was one sheet of
fame. Efforts were then made to prevent
the flames from crossing the street, but
without avail. A considerable portion Of
the town was destroyed. The Plumas
Standard, of the I'd inst, gives the follow
ing as the principal sufferers:
VA. Mastin, hotel furniture, ETC.. $l 800.
J. d. Byers, American Hotel, $4,000.
Il. IL. Pierce, saloon, $4,000.
IL. Huntington & Co., saddle and harness
shop, 5000.
William Ford, storehouse and Office, $3 900.
II. Truitt, storehouse and goods, $4,000.
w. S. Dean, confectionery store, $2 900.
M. s. Ashheim & Co., storehouse and goods,
$4,000.
Bass & Houck, saloon and billiard table,
$1,000.

EXPLORING ExpEDrIoN.-A party known

EXPLORING ExPEDTIoN.-A party known
as the "New World Exploring Company"
left San Francisco on Monday morning,
says the Mirror, to explore the Coso coun-
try, and determine the quantity aud quality
of its mineral wealth. The following gen.
tlemen compose the association: Col. Russ,
Charles Powell, Theodore Goodman, Geo.
Wheeler, Edwin A. Rowe, Leon Arnault,
and a competent assayer and mineralo-
gist. They are provided with two large
spring wagons built expressly for the pur-
pose. The party is we'll armed and expect
to be absent about eight months. A COM
plete apparatus for smelling and assaying
ores form u part Of the equipment. Results
OF great benefit to the community are ex-
pected from the expedition 1t is the nten-
tion Of the members to publish full and
complete history of their transactions, aud
give thorough description of the country,
now almost unknown.

COINAGE OF ARIZONA BULLION.-We have
seen somewhere, says the Arizonian, an ex-
hibit of the coinage Of the various mints in the
United States, for the year 1860, with the coun-
try from which the bullion was received. Over
Sll 900 in silver was placed to the credit of
Arizona, and over 81 900 in gold-the latter,
without doubt, from the placer diggings near
Pine Alto. The reports for the present year
will be more respectable. When it is recollec-
ted that the silver bullion of Arizona commands
a premium Of seven per cent. in the market,
from jewelers., ON account of its great pureness
we are surprised that even $1,000 found its
way to the mint. For so new country, labor
ing under almost incalculable disadvantages,
this must augur well for its future importance
in supplying the "small change" Of commerce.

AN ATTACK ExPECrED.-Letters and dis
patches from Washington state that fears
are entertained that the Inauguration Of
Lincoln will be sgnalized by an attack on
Fort Sumter. Should an assault be made.
there is no doubt that the force under the
command Of Major Anderson will give
good account of themselves and they may
be able to hold the place until reinforce
ments can reach them. At one time it was
also feared that an attack would be made
on Fort Pickens, in Pensacola harbor but
the State troops having left that place, for
the want Of the "snews of war;" the design
if ever entertained, has doubtless been
abandoned. Lieut.. Slemmer, in command
at Fort Pickens, is represented as a brave
officer, and has prepared to resist to the
last.

WAsHoE IrEMs.-We copy the following
items from the Territorial Enterprise, Of
Saturday week:
Business during the past week has appeared
rather dull on our main streets. But we notice
that on Saturday nights and Sundays our
streets have their usual lively appearance. !,
A substantial church is about to be erected
at Silver City for the Methodist persuasion;
lot has been donated for the purpose and one
thousand dollars subscribed to 1t. A school
house is also in the course of erection, and
Hook and Ladder Company organized lately. d,
Several new rich leads have been discovered
in the Devils Gate District during the past
week. The Grattan Company, on lead lately
discovered, have ledge five feet in width, from
which they are obtaining very fine rock. An
Italian company lately discovered ledge OF
great richness, which has created quite an eX-
citement in mining circles.
Mr.. w. Aldrige has commenced running an
express from Carson and Virginia cities to
Honey Lake Valley.
A most complete machine for separating the
amalgamated metals from the sands has re-
Gently been invented by Mr.. Almarin b. Paul,
Superintendent of the Washoe company S
works. The material is first received ON sieve
which separates all the larger pieces, the small
er falling through, move on and into hollow
column, having within its circle stirrlng ar,
rangement that revoves with great rapidity; all
the quicksilver and metals are concentrated and
precipitated to the bottom and beyond further
action; the separated sands move on into an
other opening; and are discharged and allowed
to run off This machine will pan out in one
hours time, an amount of dirt that would take
two men a day to do. This is regarded by all
who have seen it work as labor-saving ma
chine truly, and valuable to the miner. A pat
ent has been applied for.

OUTRAGEs ON THE MAIL ROUTE.-A dis
patch was received at st. Louis on the 10th
ult., from Fort Smith, stating that the Tex
ans had seized the overland mail coach, at
Fort Chadburne, with the mail and all the
property of the company within reach. The
agents and employees are said to be impris,
Oned. 1t is also reported that Forts Chad
burne and Belknap have been captured.
If this Intelligence is correct, the Govern
ment will have to take immediate steps to
protect the route or else discontinue the
overland mail. Should the Government
send troops to protect the property of the
mail company, the Texans would, of course,
consider it coercion and as the carrying
of that mail is not absolutely necessary, the
Government will probably prefer to dis
continue it, rather than to give even the
appearance of coercing Texas. 1t is not
improbable that Congress will Immediately
pass an act authorizing the mail to be car
ried by the Central route.
