WEIGHTS AND MISUNDERSTANDING the off,
ces created by the Legislature to reward
partizans and party services, is that of Sealer
of Weights and Measures, with its one or
more deputies in every county of the State.
The tax which it imposes is oppressive to
the small dealer, without affording particle
of protection to the buyer. IF the dealer is
dishonest, he will have one set of weights
sealed, in compliance with the law, and use
another to defraud his customers. However,
there is little danger Of fraud in these days.
Nearly every family has its pair Of patent
scales, which are used when there is a doubt,
and should the merchant be detected in Civ
ing light weight, it would ruin his reputa-
ton as business man in the community.
The laws of trade govern themselves, with
out legislative interference. Let this extor-
tonate act, therefore, be wiped from the
statute book. Now is the time, when parties
are broken up, to correct all such legalised
abuses.

PROFESSIONS WITH "BUT."-The Union
lovers who qualify their affection with but, re
mind US of the license granted in Solomon S
admonition to young 'uns: "Rejoice, oh, young
man, in thy youth; and let thy heart cheer thee
in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways
of thy heart, and in the sight of thine eyes; b,a
know thou, that for all these things, God will
bring thee into judgment"
The burthen of their song is-"We love this
Union; we wish to see it perpetuated; bit this is
Government of limited powers; State has
the right to secede, and you cannot resort to
force to humble her, even after she has seized
upon the property of the General Government,
and fired into its ships.
The "baa'' in this case, like "good intentions, u
spoken of in Byron, is one of the coobles which
pave the route to hell.

PROPER SENTIMENTs.-Mr Hill, venerable
State Senator from Sonoma, in the course of a
speech on Edgertons Union resolutions, Tues.
day last, uttered the following patriotic senti-
ments. They form a striking contrast to the
traitorous language of Crittenden. He said:
"I know that men feel attachment to the State
in which they were born it is natural and right
that it should be so. It was there they first
spent the merry scenes of their childhood. The
graves of their ancestors are there. This feeling
is no doubt stronger in youth than in advanced
age. The American statesman and patriot loses
the narrow limits of State in the more expand
ed view of his country. His State is from the
river st. Lawrence to the Rio Grande, and from
the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean,"

NEVADA IrEMs.-The following clippings
vre from the Transcript of Thursday:
HIGHwAyMEN.-On Thursday evening last,
between seven and eight o'clock, Mr.. Samuel
Hodge, of Grass Valley, and another citizen
of the same place, known by the name of
"Old Joe," were stopped by three men just
beyond Mr.. Weiss brewry, as they were re-
turning home, and the customary request to
''hand over" was made by the stopping party.
Mr.. Hodge not having any money, gave them
his watch which, happening to be silver, they
contemptuously returned to him. Old Joe
had SI25 which he dropped, ,unperceived, and
handed them his gold watch, which they
kept He went back and found hts money.
Old Joe had learned the ''drop game" from
reading the account of similar case in the
TRANSCRIPT, last week.

p@As a general thing, the secessionist
is a Southern man but all Southern men are
not secessionists. In looking around over
the State, we observe that Southern men of
the most infuence-those who have an abid-
ing interest in the country, reputation to
defend, and a patriotism which reaches be-
yond the boundary of mere local laes-are
committed for the Union, because they can
appreciate the blessings that flow from it..
Those who favor disruption are generally
men without reputable occupation-place-
hunters, to whom popular breeze might
blow a crumb, and to whom even crumbs
are always acceptable. These men will not
effect much harm, however willing they may
be to do it.

The LAW OF NEwsPAPERs.-1. Subscribers
who do not give express notice to the contrary
Le~considered as wishing to continue their
subscription.
2. If subscribers order their paper stopped,
publishers may continue to send it till all
charges are paid. f.
3. If subscribers neglect or refuse to take
their papers from the Office or place to which
sthey, are sent, they are held responsible
until they settle their bill and give notice to
discontinue them.
4. If subscribers move to other places,
without informing the publishers, and the
paper is sent to its former direction, they
are held responsible. Notice should always
be given of removal.
5. Postmasters failing to give notice with
in three months, of the failure of a subscri-
Der to call for his paper, is liable for the
amount of the subscription.
The conrts have decided that refusing to
tdlfe paper or periodical from the Office or
removing and leaving ituncalled for, is prima
facia evidence of fraud.
Postmasters would oblige by strict
fulfllment of the regulations requiring them
to notify publishers, once in three months,
of papers not taken from their Office by sub
.scribers.
Under the law of Congress, papers are not
charged postage ia the counties in which they
ARE published.

REPEAL IT.-The Legislature is about to
make some inquiry into the Pork and Beef
Inspection Law. 1t is said the Office of In
spector is worth from sixty to seventy thous-
and dollars per annum. This is outrageous,
when it is considered that the consumer has
to pay the tax, and that the law never was
demanded by any actual necessity which ex-
listed. Our members of the Legislature will
be expected to do what they can towards the
repeal of this obnoxious measure.

DESPERATE ENCOUNTER WITH MADMAN
AND HIS DoG.-A gentleman who resides at
Freeman's Crossing, furnishes us with the fol-
lowing thrilling particulars of an incident which
occurred at that place on Tuesday evening last,
just at nightfall:
Mr.. Hugh Mundell, a resident butcher, had
been to visit his water-ditch in the vicinity, and
was returning to the Crossing. He heard rapid
footstep approaching from behind, and looking
round beheld Mexican, who betrayed stealthy
.movcment. On finding himself detected, he ad-
vanced upon Mr.. Mundell, with threatening ges-
lures, and uttering profane volley of abuse.
Mundell rctreated few steps, but the Mexican
sprang at his throat and seized him by the neck
tie, when desperate struggle commenced
Mundell is powerfully built man, much larger
than his antagonist, but the latter seemed en-
supposing him an assassin, fought for his life.
After violent effort he succeeded in shaking
the Mexican off, and with well-directed fist
blow knocked him down. Having no wepaon
with which to defend himself, he threw his body
upon the PROSTATE form of his antagonist with
the intention of choking him. The Mexican
called to a dog which accompanied him, which,
obeying its masters voice, fastened upon Mum
dell's right arm. This compelled him to change
the order of his defence. He recovered his feet,
and releasing himself by an effort from the dog,
ran short distance to his shop, where was also
a dog belonging to him, which he unclaimed and
urged to the encounter. The dog of the Mexi-
can met him, and the dumb brutes, as well as
their masters, at once became involved in fierce
battle. The Mexican having gathered several
cobbles from the road, hurled them at Mundell,
who was forced to resort to the same expedient.
One of his hurting missiles struck the Mexican
in the stomach and for moment doubled him
up; but he still resolutely maintained his ground.
Mundell finding his adversary intent upon she'd
ding his blood, ran towards his shop second
time for his revolver, with which he determined
to kill his man. The Mexican appeared to COM
prehend his design, and broke for the hills, over
which he clambered with a speed which defied
pursuit, and which could only have been attained
by the promptings of wild terror.
Up to this moment there were no witnesses to
the double-confict. Soon after, however, several
gentlemen were attracted to the spot by the
bowling of the Mexican's dog, which, poor brute!
was no match for its larger and fercer adversary,
and was being literally torn to pieces. The spec
tators soon effected separation
Mundell had his arm considerably lacerated by
the fangs of the Mexican's dog, but sustained no
other material injury. 1t was not until day or
two after that he learned he had been contending
with madman-a victim of mania potu-whose
whereabouts has not since been ascertained.

STRONG LANGuAGE.-R. D. Crittenden, a
Senator of this State, representing Ell Dorado
in the California legislature, native of
South Carolina, recently delivered speech
before that body, in which he used this lam
guage, to-wit:
II love South Carolina. I love her as
man should love his mother. Applause. |

phere that first sent the ife-blood thrilling

GooD FOR THE OLD HERo.-It is said of Gen
Wool, that being asked :" if the army would be
likely to divide in case of secession, and fail to
obey the President :" that he replied-"D Do you
at the moment it is needed! No, sir. Further
more, allow no officer or man under my COM
mand to admit the possibility of disunion, and if
hear that any one has spoken in favor of it, l
will court martial him with all possible expedi-
ton and Gen. Scott feels as do, sir.
There is many game of whist left in the vet
eran General yet; although it was thought by
many while he resided in this State, that he was
about "played out"
The hydraulic press., 1861-02-09

CARRIED.-It is stated, after all, that the cleo
ton returns as reported from the Secretary of
States Office to the Legislature, show majority
of some fifteen hundred in favor of Constitu-
tional Convention. This, we think, is rather
unfortunate in the present agitated state of the
public mind. The fact thus early announced,
however, will afford the people an opportunity to
look around for suitable men to represent them
gence, who understand wherein the Constitution
requires amendment, and wherein it is good
without amendment, and who are loyal to that
higher organic act, the Constitution ofthe Union.

his best efforts to preserve the Union, in slave
State. Charles 7. Bolts, his brother, and prom
nent offce-holder under the government of a free
State, writes pamphlet giving the disunionists
aid and encouragement. Which of the two
names will be honored most by posterity?

SILVER DISCOVERIES IN NEVADA COUNTY
The Nevada Transcript of Tuesday morning
contains the following:

SILVER DISCOVERIES IN NEVADA COUNTY
The Nevada Transcript of Tuesday morning
contains the following:
The excitement in regard to the silver mine
which has been discovered near Grass Valley,
mention of which appeared in our issue of
Saturday last, is on the increase. The whole
country, for miles around, has been staked
off, and our streets yesterday were filled with
people from Grass Valley who come to get
their claims recorded
This mine is situated nine and half miles
from Nevada City, and four and half from
Boston Ravine, Grass Valley, east of the Au-
burn road. AS we mentioned in our previous
report of this discovery, various rumors are
aHoat as to the yield of the ore; in San Fran
cisco they are doubtless exaggerated, and
not worthy of much reliance. But one thing
is sure and reliable; and that is, that Messrs.
OFT 4 Co., of our city, assayed two lots, one
of which yielded at the rate of four hundred
ounces to the tun, and the other at the rate
of six hundred ounces. The fineness of the
silver was not determined, but the average
yield, so for as these specimens are concern
ed, cannot be far from S. ,00e per tun.
The discoverers are, Mr.. Atwood, of Grass
Valley, and Mr.. John Jenkins, the owner of
the ranch in which the mine is situated.
The wonder to us is that Mr.. Atwood, who
is gentleman possessing extensive knewl-
edge and experience in mining, could ever
be induced to dispose of so large an interest
as 425 feet for the trfing sum of one thousand
dollars. Mr.. Lawrence, the San Francisco
gentleman who made the purchase, cannot,
we understand, be ''touched" with ten times
the amount he paid nor can, indeed, any OF
the parties holding claims within half mile
from the ground.

A New PARry.-The Auburn Signal says

"We find that a general disafection pre-
walls among all political parties and parti-
sans, and that the condition of the country
demands, and there win soon oe formed from
the debris of the old organizations, new
party-a Union party upon principles OF
union-possessing all the elements of pure
democracy"
So it is to be hoped-with democracy q
little purer than that which has brought the
country to the verge of ruin.

A SOURCE OF PRIDE.-Fiye newspapers are
published in Nevada county, every one of which
is for the Union. The proportion of seces-
sionists to true patriots in the county is only
about one in hundred. When the proper time
arrives for an expression of embodied opinion
on this subject, and in condemnation of the Pa
cifc Republic heresy, the mountains will speak
to the sea" in tones that will make the hearts of
treason -plotters quake.

On last Friday night, two miners, Daniel
Gillon and John Dolan, started from town to
return to their claim on Rush Creek. When
just outside of the grave yard, they were
stopped by two men, armed with revolvers
and bowie knives and orderd to hand over
their loose change. Mr.. Gilloon had them
$40 SO, whilst Dolan, who had a purse
containing $65, managed to drop it on the
ground, unperceived by the robbers. They
searched him, and found only one bit. They
then ordered their victims to keep on their
road threatening to shoot them if they at
tempted to return to town. A few hours af-
terwards, Dolan got lantern, returned to
the spot and found the $65 where he dropped
them"

something very creditable to the young Prince
