BRCAPE OF PROP. MTCHEIL.-A travelling

Southern Mississippi by coach, be saw the
dead bodies Of two men suspended by the
neck from trees by the roadside. In an
swer to the inquiry, "FOr what were these
men hung?" be was told, Because they
were id AbolitiOuists ~ He also relates
the escape of Prot. Mitchell, the well known
astronomer of Cincinnati. He was on the
cars going South, and when near Jackson,
Mississippi, man somewhat in6amed with
liquor. but more with pro-slavery hate, en-
tered into conversation with him on politi-
cal subjects. The Professor was cautious
and reserved bul venturing TO say that he
thought Lincoln was conservative man
and would not do injustice 10 the South, his
2ro-slavery friend was greatly incensed,

jumped on and commenced search for the
offensive specimen OF Northern opinion
but before the Professor could be pointed
out, the conductor, seeing the danger, pull

with them the Professor, with whole skin.

CONGRESSMAN BURcH.-Tbe S. f. Herald,
OF the Sd inst, publishes letter from Con-
gresham Burch, on the subject Of secession,
and the position which California should, in
bis opinion, assume 10 the event Of dis
rupton Of the Confederacy. The letter is
dated at ST. Louis, Nov. 22d, and was writ
ten before the result Of the election 10 Cal
ifornia had reached him. The Herald states
on the authority of Mr.. Burch, that Senator
Latham bad seen and approved the letter.
Mr. Bnrch ia of the opinion that the Union
will be broken up, that civil war will fol-
low, and that California will be forced to
take part in the conflict unless she immedi-
ately seeedes. He says il is expected, and
regarded as matter Of course, that Cali
fOrnia, Oregon, New Mexico, Washington
and Utah, "will seek refuge for themselves
from the blighting effects Of disunion and
civil war, by retiring aud establishing
prosperous, happy and successful republic
on the Pacific slope" Phe following par
agraph will give an idea of the Hon. gem
tleman's style ofargument
The people of California and her neighbors
should be of one mind on this subject, and be
prepared for the emergency; and il the "Fates"
should force US to this last sad resort, let us,
with a disposition to welcome all who come to
us from our ''old homes" seeking an asylum,
raise aloft the flag of the "Bear," surrounded
with the "hydra" pointed cactus Of the West
crn wilds, and call upon the enlightened nations
Of the Earth TO acknowledge our independence,
and TO protect US, the only "waif" from the
wreck Of our once noble Union--the youthful
but yigourous Cesarian Republic of the Pa
cihc.
Mr.. Burch's fears Of q civil war have
doubtless by this time vanished, aud conse-
Quently bis principal argument in favor of
Pacific Republic falls to the ground.

4 coRaEsPoxDENr Of the Journal. who

signs himself "Breck," comes to the conclu.
sion. from an article in the DEMocRAT Of the
10Th uIt., that we are "opposed to a union
Of the friends Of Breckinrldge and Douglas,
on honorable groundsj We hardly know
what we said from which "Breck" could
draw such conclusion. We did cay that
we saw no prospect of union of the two
parties, and we have pretty good reasons
for this opinion. Every Breckenridge pa
per in the State has come out in opposition
to such union; majority, if not all, the
Breckenridge State Committee are opposed
to any compromise, and we have never con-
versed with either Douglas or Breckn-
ridge man who was in tavor of union un.
loss bis own party platform was adopted.
There is no halfway ground between inter
vention and non-interventioD, and unless
one party or the other completely surren-
ders its principles, a union Is Impossible,
"Breck" wants to know whether the DEMO
Graf Is the organ of the Douglas party in
this county? That is question which we
cannot answer; but we make no preten-
sions to speak for any one but ourselE If
"Breck" however, will go round among
the Douglas men, and make inquiries, we
think be will find that large majority of
them are opposed to surrendering their
principles for the sake of uniting with the
Breckinridgers.

POSITION OF, SOUTH CAROLINA.

The dispatches to the Sacramento Union,
received by the last Pony, state that the
South Carolina Convention had passed an
ordinance repeating the ordinance Of May
23d, l77slwhere5y the Federal Constitution
was ratified by that State, and all acta Of
Assembly to ratify amendments to the Con-
stitution. The ordinance was passed on the
goth ult., without dissenting vote. A res
olution had been offered in the Convention
for the appointment of three Commissioners
to proceed to Washington, and treat with
the government for the surrender OF the
forts, and also to treat and settle for the
public debt and division of the property be-
longing to the government There is no
account Of the resolution having been adop-
ted, and until the general government con-
sents to settle with South Carolina, and &C
knowledges its Independence, the State will
still be a member Of the American confed-
eracy. Her independence will not be ac'
knowledged, nor her representatives re-
ceived, by any government 10 chrisIendom,
until after she is acknowledged independent
by the government of the United States.
The President has no power to surrender
the forts nor eau be make any arrange
ments relative to a division of property and
the public debt, without the assent of Con-
gress, Mere negative action, a refusal to
treat with her commissioners, is all that
will be necessary to keep South Carolina in
the Union, until such time as the general
government deems it policy to allow the
State 10 seeede. Asyet, South Carolina can
hardly be said to have made beginning to-
wards the establishment Of an independent
government.

A SLIGHT MIsTAKE.-SOme young men at
a saloon not far from our office, Gays the
Stockton Republican, night or two since,
undertook to make an "OctOroon" soup,
in which mushrooms were TO be an impOr-
tant Ingredient. A patriotic parsonage
furnished the supposed mushrooms. Un-
luckily they proved to be toadstools, and
the consequences proved to be the most
awkward. About o dozen individuals.
who supposed they we're in luck, partook
of the delicious compound There was a
most exciting scene Of vomiting aud purg-
ing within an hour after 1t was served up.
Though the faces of the partakers looked
most particularly faded and woe-begone
the next day, no one was mortally injured.

THE PACIFIC RAILROAD.

The most important item Of intelligence
received by the last Pony, is the passage by
the House Of Representatives of Curtis Pa
cifc Railroad Bill. 1t passed by vote Of
80 to rs, and it is believed it will also pass
the Senate. The bill provides for the con-
structiou of two roads-one connecting
with the Texas road, on the Southern route,
and the other connecting the waters Of the
Missouri aud the Mississippi with the Davi-
gable waters of the Sacramento. This lat
ter road, on the Central rOute is the one 10
which the people of California feel the
deepest interest, and measures should i'm
mediately be taken for the organization Of
a company to construct the road to the cas-
tern boundary of the State. 1t is probable
that Sacramento will be the western termi.
nus Of the road, and thorough survey Of
the different routes, we believe, will estab.
lish the fact that the Henness Pass offers
superior advantages to any other. The dis
tance to the State line is perhaps fifteen or
twenty miles greater than by the Truckee
Pass, but the elevation is not as great, and
the maximum grade need not exceed eighty
feet to the mile, whereas, by the Truckee
Pass, the grade in many places would have
to be at least one hundred feet. The Hen
ness route has the additional advantage Of
passing through a thickly populated dis
triCl, and the people Of this county, as well
as Placer, would subscribe literally towards
the stock, while a road by the Truckee
route would be of little advantage and re-
ceive but very little aid in Nevada county.

JOKING A DEFIANT DEMoCRAT.-The edi.
tor Of the Defiance (Ohio) Democrat, in a
late number of bis paper, says:
A couple Of enthusiastic young ladies Of the
Republican persuasion presented us last week
with Mammoth Beet, weighing 20 pounds,
remarking in the presentation speech, that it
was the largest in their knowledge, excepting
only the beat of November 9th. AS we, from
the confusion of circumstances and dispropor-
tion Of effect to cause, have no distinct recol-
lection Of any remarkable event at or about that
time, we failed to see the point in reference.
The Nevada Democrat., 1861-01-05

SoUTH CAROLINA IN l832.-As bad as the
condition of things 10 South Carolina may
seem at present, che has not ye. gone be-
yond the position she assumed in 1882.
She then declared in general convention
that unless, by time named, all the reve-
nue. laws of the United States were repealed
she would secede. How graDdly and truly
did "Old Hickory" meet the issue in this
presentation OF the case, in his preclama-
tion, where he said:
A repeal of all the acts for raising revenue,
leaving the government without the means OF
support or an acquiescence in the dissolution
of our Union by the secession of one OF It's
members. When the first was proposed, 1t was
known that it could not be listened to for
moment. 1t was known that if force was ap-
piled to oppose the execution of the laws that
it must Be repelled by fOrce-that Congress
could not without involving itself in disgrace
and the country in ruin, accede to the PROPOSE
ton and yet if this is not done in given day,
or if any attempt is made to execute the laws,
the State is, by the ordinance, declared to be
out of the Union. The majority of a conven-
tion assembled for the purpose have dictated
these TERMS or rather this rejection Of all terms
in the name of the people OF South Carolina.
1t is true that the Governor of the State speaks
of the submission of their grievances to con-
vention of all the States, which he says they
''sincerely and anxiously seek and desire" ;"
Yet this obvious and constitutional mode of OBJ
tanning the sense of the other States on the con-
struction Of the federal compact, and amending
it If necessary, has never been attempted by
those who have urged the State on to this de-
structive measure.

HOMICIDE AT SAN FRANcfsCO.-A bloody
deed was perpetrated at San Francisco on
New Years Day. Samuel r. Newell, for.
merly editor of the Auburn Signal, was
stabbed and killed by Horace Smith, law.
yer residing at Auburn who, it appears.
went to San Francisco, expressly for that
purpose. Smith, who was accompanied by
Judge Hardy, bis brother-in-law, met New
ell on Sacramento street, and plunged a
bowe-knife into his neck. Newell ran into
a store and fell Smith followed aud stab
bed him again in the side, as be lay help
less on the floor, and then deliberately
sheatbing his Knife, walked off, and gave
himself into the custody of the officers.
Newell died IN about fifteen minutes after
receiving the FIRST wound. He was unarm.
ed at the time. Smith was taken before the
Police Judge on Thursday, aud waving an
examination was committed to await the &C.
tiOn oE the grand jury. Several rumors are
aHOat as 10 the cause Of the difficulty. One
is, that Newell had said something in bis
paper rejecting on the character of Mrs.
Smith. Another is that Mrs. Smith had
interfered to break up q marriage between
Newell and a young lady of Auburn to
whom he was engaged; that this provoked
Newell to the use of language dcrogatory
to the character of Mrs Smith, aud that
Smith then determined to be avenged on
the slanderer of his wife. Mrs. Smith, it
seems, is a sister of Judge Hardy, which ac-
counts for the latter being present and as
sisting Smith in the bloody deed

SHOT BY MIsTAKE.-On Tuesday NOR.
ming last, Dr. ]. r. BOyCe, highly esteemed
citizen of Sacramento, was shot by man
named VIM. Tierney, and there is reason 10
fear that the wound will prove fatal. l
appears that Tierney intended to shoot man
named Cassidy, who had seduced his (Tier-
ney's) wife, aud seeing Boyce and Cassidy
together be fred at the latter, but the ball
missed him and struck BOycO in the back,
near the left shoulder, and passed entirely
through his body. Tlerney was arrested
and lodged 10 the statiOn-hOuse. DR.. BOyee
was alive at last accounts, but little hope
was entertained of bis recovery.
