JEM MACE and Tom Sayers, English pu-
gilists, have been enemies for some time
past, and would have been matched in the
ring were it not that SAyers forfeits his au-
nuity-raised for him by subscription af-
ter his contest with Heenau, should he
fight again. But meeting recently in a
bar-room in Liverpool the two sPugs"
settled the feud By rough and tumble
encounter. Both men i'peeled," and we
are told that the fight was an unusually
interesting one. Mace, IN consequence of.
his regular aud temperate habits, was in
far the best condition; but sayers's in
dOmitable courage, tremendously powerful
hitting, and thorough practical knowledge
Of Sighting, at last enabled him to gain =
decisive victory over the champion. Amer
half an hours hard and very fast 6ghting'
terrific hit from the "auetioneer" on the
throat Knocked Mace all abroad ami una
ble to come again to the scratch. As soon
as it was over Tom WAS among the first in
endeavOring 10 bring his opponent round,
all his luminosity having evapuratcd on the
defeat Of his antagonist Sayers himself
did not escape uuscathed, as Mace repeat
edIy visited his .'deal'' with his dangerous
left, making his mark very legibly, while
Tom showed that his right hand had not
forgot its GINNING, by the execution done
on his opponent.

LOCAL MATTERS.

WATER FOR MINING PURPOSES Mr.
Whartenby, the superintendent Of the South
Yuba Canal Co., informs us that the company
are running much larger supply Of water this
season than ever before but Notwithstanding
the increased demand, he is Of the opinion that
the supply viii hold out fully as late as last
year. By raising the dams at the lakes near
the summit, and constructing new dams, they
will be able to retain much larger quantity Of
water than hitherto. Letters were received
yesterday from the agents at Meadow Lake.
near Jackson's Ranch stating that the dam
had been raised so as to retain from twenty.
eight to thirty feet of water, while there was
but sixteen feet last year. The snow on the
surrounding hills is about four feet deep. and
as It melts and the water runs into the lake it
will be retained until needed in the ditch. A
letter from the agent at Devils Peak, states
that they win be able to raise the dam at that
place at least ten feet higher than il was last
year.
PRIMARY ELEcTIoN.-The election for del
egates to the Union Democratic County Con-
vention, to be held on the 29th inst, takes place
on Saturday next. At the Nevada precinct,
the election will be held in Flagg's brick build
ing, adjoining Harrington's saloon-Mr. Will
liams acting as Inspector, and Messrs. Funston
and Varney as Judges. The members Of the
Central Committee in the several townships are
authorized to select the places of meeting, and
appoint the officers wherever it is deemed
necessary to open polls. Where no action is
taken, the Democratic voters and others de-
sirous Of participating, can meet at the places
agreed upon, according to the usual custom, and
select delegates, either by ballot or viva voce, as
they may think best. There are, Of course,
differences of opinion as to the candidates for
State and County officers, but so far as we can
learn, the differences are not of such decided
character as likely to lead to much contest be-
fore the people.
STARR KING's LEcTUREs.-The lecture of
Mr.. King at Grass Valley, on Tuesday eve
ming, on the "Union and the War;" was atten-
ded by respectable though not large audience.
We are informed by gentleman who was pre-
sent, and who has attended several of Mr..
Kings lectures, that this was one Of his best
efforts. Yesterday evening Mr.. King lectured
at North San Juan, and our citizens will have
the pleasure of hearing him at the Theater
tonight.
STARS AND STRIPEs.-Mr. Harrington has
had the stars and stripes painted upon the hy-
drant in front of his saloon, giving il an ele-
giant and patriotic appearance.
PERsoNAL.-Mr. Geo. Keeny and his bride
(late Miss Phillipps) arrived at Nevada, by way
Of Marysyile, this afternoon.

INFoRxArIoS WANrED.-Informatio Of
Leonard A. Monson, a native Of New York
City, aged about 80 years, and who came TO
California in Stevenson's Regiment, is desired
by his mother. When last heard from, in
March 1852, he was residing at Stockton. tits
rumored that he was living in the vicinity Of
Yreka, in 1859 or go. ANY Information Of said
Monson, addressedto the "editor OF the Sonoma

fully received by his mother.

GOVERNOR DowNEY.-There is Los An
geles gentleman in town who was present on
Saturday week when Governor Downey made
his speech there, and he declares his speech as
printed is nothing like his speech as delivered.
His remarks fell like wet blanket upon the
audience. This man positively asserts that the
Governor did say that this is an abolition war,
carried on by aboltionists, and that all the
armies in the country could not make him take
back one word Of his famous political letter.

From the Bucyrus. Ohio, Journal.
SECESSION IN A NEW SPOT.

Secession is the order of the day, and as
soon as South Carolina goes out of the
Union, ripping up the Confederacy, there
will be an admirable opportunity to redess
grievances. Crawford county will at once
seceds from Ohio, establish government,
of her own, and proudly take her place
among the nations of the earth. We have
too long submitted to the imperious dictates
of u tyranical government, and gladly Will
our chivalrous, high-minded, high toned,
hi-falutin citizens seize this glorious oppor-
tunity, of rending the chains from their
limbs, hurting them into the face of their
foes, and renouncing all allegiance to
government they hate, and the people they
despise. Our whole history has been one
of aggression on the part of the State.
1t refuses to locate the Capitol at Buoy
rus, to the great detriment of our real estate
owners.
1t refuses to gravel the streets of Bucyrus,
or even to relay the plank roads.
1t refuses to locate the Penitentiary at
Bucyrus, notwithstanding we do rs mu,h
toward filling it as any other county.
1t refuses to locate the State Fair at Blu
cyrus, thus blishting the hopes Of our free,
independent and patriotic peanut vendors.
1t located the Ohio canal one hundred
miles east of Bucyrus.
We have never had Governor, notwith-
standing We have any number OF men ms
much superior to the man who now fills
that post, as the bright sun is to a tallow
candle.
Ditto, ditto, as to U. S. Senator.
1t has compelled US to pay, year after
year our share of the State taxes.
1t puts US in the same Congressional Dis
g.rict with Ottawa county.
No citizen of the county has ever been ap-
pointed to any place where theft is possible,
thus keeping the capital out of the county.
1t selected Seneca county men for terms
for State Treasurer, thus making sure Of
having the treasury cleaned.out.
1t has refused to pay our railroad sub
ecriptions, and has never offered to slack
water the Sandusky river.
These are but q very few OF the griev.
auces we have submitted to. We could
stretch out the list indefinitely long, Blu,
these are sufficient. We will not longer
submit. The storm is rising. Companies
of twenty four men are being organized IN
every township. Our representatives have
agreed to resign-next March. The inde-
pendent hag-musk rampant, weasel couch
ant, on field d'egg shell-foa,s from poles
on every corner. Gu, of from the State,
direct trade with Indiana follows-released
from Indebtedness to Cincinnati and Cleve-
land, our merchants will again lift up their
heads. We are in earnest. Armed with
justice and shawl pins, we bid the hireiing
tools of the despotic government defiance.
P. S.-The feeling is intense, extending
even to the children. A boy just past our
office displaying the secession flag. ltwaved
from behind. Discardlng concealment, the
noble, lion hearted boy wore round about.
We are firm.
N. B.--We are still firm.
N. 2.-We are calm, firm, unyielding.
LATER.-A farmer in the western part of
the county, came in to-day to get his gun
fixed. Tremble, ye Columbusers. We are
firm.
