PRosPEcT FOR NEvADAys.-A prominent
citizen of this city informs us that he has
been permitted to read private letter from
Washington to a former Nevadan now re-
siding in San Francisco. The letter was
dated, Feb, Sth and came by late Pony.
In relation to the prospects of Nevadans
for appointments under the incoming Ad-
ministration the writer is confident that J.
C. Birdseye, has as good show as any one
for the Collectorship, and, perhaps, better
James Churchman will be appointed Com
missioner to Japan beyond doubt. He
has already the assurances of Lincoln to
that effect. A day or two before the letter
was written, it was suggested that Col. A.
W. Potter was a candidate n'rerei We for
the Indian Agency with fair prospect of
success. Rumor had it that private letters
had been written to Col. Fremont and Sen
ator Baker urging his claims, and that
both these gentlemen were rather fayora-
bly, inclined.
The candidates for the Nevada post-office
were understood to be numerous As a
stroke of party policy Col. Baker is repre-
sented by his intimate acquaintance to fa-
vor the appointment of S. T. Oates, whose
activity and influence among the Cornish is
thought to deserve well at the hands of the
party. 1t is reported that Henry Winter
Davis has been written to for his exertions
in behalf of gentleman named Morehouse,
and that on the score of old acquaintance
the appeal will not be in vain.
Washington letter writer's are not the
most reliable creatures in the world, but we
must be permitted to say, that for knowl-
edge of the Indnn tongues, their manners
and customs, and for popularity among the
aborigines, Col. Potter is just the gentle
man for the place, and we earnestly hope
the report is more than true.
The Nevada journal., 1861-03-01

SINoNTos writes to the Bulletin that
Washburn has no show for the Custom
House. A strong money influence, he
says, is at work for J. c. Birdseye. Sam
Bell has withdrawn in favor of Rankin.-
Simonton appeared to favor the latter, and
says, as fitness will be the test under Lin
coin and as Rankin is acknowledged to be
eminently qualified for the place, and is
recommended by the heaviest mercantile
firms of San Francisco, his chances are best.
Capt. Thomas Gray is another candidate for
the Custom House, and B. W. Hathaway
has been written to by Sullivan to come on
for the purpose of becoming compromise
candidate. Sam Bell, ceasing to strive for
the collectorshin, is an applicant for the
Navy Agency. Col. Fremont favors 7. j. L.
Smiley for the same position. Col. Butler
wants the Mint, but Col Bakers son-in-law,
Stevens, has the inside track. WY, Patch,
W. B. Farwell, Cheeseman and DR.. Gum
are candidates for the Naval Office. DIR.
Mclean stands high for Surveyor of the
Port. J. A Nunes and James McShafter are
applicants for Surveyor General but the
Bulletin correspondent seems to think that
neither are formidable.
The report of the Washington cores
pondent of the Bulletin is to be taken, per-
haps, cum grand sails, as he is in the Rankin
interest

A New ERA.-Before another issue of ou

A New ERA-Before another issue of our
paper His Imbecility will have vacated the
Presidential chair, and man of tried in
tegrity, unsullied honor, undoubted pru-
dence and ability succeeded him. On Mon
day next Abraham Lincoln, called from the
peaceful pursuits of private life, like an
other Cincinnatus, by his countrymen, to
assume the highest position in tho world,
enters upon the discharge of his high du-
ties as President of these United States. A
more gloomy period never intervened in
American history. The duties of Presi-
dent are manifold and arduous at best. In
the present crisis they are doubly so, re-
quiring the utmost powers of endurance,
extreme patience and assiduity, great intel
Iect and unbafiled Judgment. We have the
has all the high intellectual, moral and
physical qualities for the crisis he is called
to meet. Since his election his course has
been such that the most cynical could find
in him nothing at which to cavil, and great
as was the estimation in which he was held
by the American people before his election,
he has risen vastly since.
The times are critical, the signs omin-
GUS of evil. The spirit of discord and de-
struction is abroad; but we have cause fer
congratulation that man of character is
about to head the Nation. a moral sup
port will be given the government it has
not had for wears. If the Union shall go
to wreck it will not be the fault of its Chief
Magistrate, and if it shall happily weather
the storm as we do not doubt it will; the
prudent counsels of Abraham Lincoln will
go far to produce the glorious result, and
and at the close of four years service he
will receive and deserve the plaudits of an
an entire people.

NEGROES IN New YoRK.-The last census

NEGROES IN Nsw YeRK.-The last census
shows there are 1881 cofored persons in
New York city. But thirty-two of these
are married to white persons, and not one
case occurs of marriage between a white
man and black woman. OF the thirty-two
cases Of intermarriage, but one northern
woman has married colored husband,
while two cases occur of southern born
women marrying blacks and all the remain
ing cases are foreigners, save one, who was
born on the sea.
During the late canvass few unprinci-
Piled sheets in this State published pretend
ed cases of intermarriages between whites
and blacks in the northern states, ana en-
deavored to show thereby that such were
the legitimate fruits of Repubiicanism car
ried out, and that the north was debased.
The census of New York city which is prob
ably fair criterion of the north exhibits
the fact that out of the few southern born
women in that city compared with the
have married negroes as of the latter, and
but three cases occur in all. We do not
produce these facts to disparage the women
of the south, but to show that so far as
amalgamation of the races is concerned the
north, judging by the facts produced, is as
clear of the imputation as possible. When
two or three journals We might name, in
this State, shall publish hereafter amalga-
nation items, for political purposes, it will
be we'll for them, for the sake of truth and
honesty, to examine the record. Such items
have done much to create a feeling of con-
tempt in the people from one section against
those of the other, the practical results of
which are now being felt in q discordant
Union.

THE SURVEYOR GENERALS Report for
1860 gives the valuation of property in this
county for the last year at S578,os5 less
than the year previous, according to the re-
port of the County Assessor.
1t will be recolected that Attorney Cen
eral Wallace gave his opinion to the As
SCISSOR of this County that capital invested
in mining claims might be taxed. Acting
upon this opinion: he capital invested in
mining claims in this county was assessed
in 1853. 1t having been determined by
competent authority that such property
was not subject to taxation, the Assessor
ceased to assess it in 1860. The apparent
decrease in the value of property in Nevada
county, is not real. On the contrary. prop
erty in the county is gradually increasing

Evans, the celebrated pianist. The words we
like. A specimen, we give:
Oh, wherefore that cry on the pitiless gale,
of secession and ruin, and States in disscnsion i:
Is the league of our fathers beginning to fail:
Have their children lost sight of their god-like
intentiOn'
Has the work most divine cf all human design
Ceased to animate men
Or keep States from decline?
All, no. it still lives, and forbids them to sever
Their American freedom and Union forever.
Fair Gem of the West California, shine
In that cluster of stars, without stain of Disun-
ION,
And never be writ on escutcheOn of thine,
An act that denies thee nations communion.
Still hold on thy way.
AS benign in thy sway
As the evening star on the west verge OF day,
Illuming the path of fraternal endeavor
For America, Freedom and Union forever
Marching on! Marching on.
In the vanguard of nations forever!
If the music is as good the words we'll
have it sung every evening or-get divorce.

FILLING Up OR GUARDING SHAFTs.-A cor
respondent suggests the passage of law COM
pelliug all persons who sink shafts within the
corporation limits of city or town, or legal
bounds of public highway, to enclose them
substantially, cover them up, or make them Sc
cure in some manner against travellers. As fire.
quent cases occur of persons falling into shafts,
we think the suggestion a good one decidedly.
He complains also, of other evils but if he will
examine the statutes he will find them all pro-
yided for The fault he would romedy lies in
the want of execution of the laws, rather than
in the want of the laws themselves. Perhaps
we ought rather to say the fault lies in public
popf;mauf
