NoTEs AND QuERIEs.-Red Head has MOTTO

sire to humhug the people, as Red Head takes
it, and he resents the insult as personal. He
wants it distinctly understood he don't believe
district cant be overstoeked with bees, or that
one year old grape vines with the roots pulled
off or dried up are better than two year old for
setting. He don't begin to believe neither the
fall is the better time to plant fruit trees in the
mountains. Red Head is positive these false
notions have been disseminated by men who
have something to sell and want quick return:

ing contained atypographical error to the effect
that the bill for the erection of Pine street
bridge provided for tax of five bits on a dol
lar. The innocent typo who made the mistake
explains by saying he thought it was devil Of
a tax, when he was setting the item, but as il
was the custom of some of the citizens to give
the value of their property to the assessor at SC
low figure, he thought it was trick of the
Legislature to get out of those fellows about
what they ought to pay. The chap who don't
take is a muggins.

DR.. MCGUIRE AND THE COUNTY HosPITAL,-
DR.. Mcclure, of North San Juan, published
a card in the Hydraulic Press of last week
rejecting on the County Physician and
somewhat on the newspapers, or part of
them, in this city. Mr.. Mcclure relates
that he in company with another gentleman
visited the County Hospital a few days be-
fore the Grand Jury, of which he was a
institution, and that they found the Hospi-
tai in a miserable state. He procured it to
be so stated in the Report of the Grand
Jury, and for SO doing he AYERS that he was
insulted by the County Physician at the
National Hotel after the Grand Jury had
been discharged
We have mingled quite freely with the
citizens of this place since the alleged In
suit to DR.. Mcclure was given, and not till
we saw his card in the Press and the re-
marks of the editor thereon did we ever
hear word in relation to the affair. We
find on inquiry that large number of citi-
zens were in the same ignorance as our
selves. Those who were cognizant of the
facts must have thought it a very insignia
cant matter or else knowledge of it would
have been more general.
We know nothing of the point at vari-
ance between DR.. MCGUIRE and the County
Physician. We published the pith of the
Grand Jury report, as we supposed, before
it was written, understanding what the ma
ture of il would be from one who knew
are content to allow the matter to go with.

ANDY JoHNsoN.-We are not prophet,
nor the son of prophet, but we look upon
the course of the gallant and patriotic Sem
ator from Tennessee, whose name heads
this article, as indicative of still greater
honors in store for him. His advocacy of
the Homestead Bill, solitary and alone
among southern Senators, and more than
all, his gallant defense of the Union against
such traitors as Lane, and men of that kid
ney, have endeared him to patriots all over
the land. He stands a towering rock amidst
q wide waste of angry waters, and the surges
may beat forever against him IN vain. We
hope to see him President of the whole
United States for his sterling virtues exhib-
tied in time of need God bless him and
may the American people recognize his
worth A few more such men as Johnson,
Houston, Bolts, Etherege, Winter Davis and
Parson Brownlow, in the revolutionary
section, and we could confidently rely on
secession being crushed effectually out in
ninety days.

THE OLD CoMPLAIST.-There never was a
Legislature assembled in the State that the
press did not say of it that it was the weak
est, siowest, meanest, most drunken, most
disorderly, most corrupt or most damnable
one that ever assembled. The Union begins
the old complaint, and dubs the present
Legislature the most procrastinating body
that ever assembled in the State, and the
Union, we must admit, makes out fair
case

DELINoutNr TAX AcT.-Mr. Miller, of this
county, has introduced an act amendatory
of the act recently passed for the collection
of delinquent taxes in this county. He
prcfaced the introduction of the bill ty
saying q singular blunder had been made in
the engrossment and enrolment of the act
which required an amendatory act to RENE
dy.
While the Legislature is about it, would
it not be just as easy to pass a new act
with section in it repeating the one just
enacted? Correct all the possible blunders
of the engrossing and enrolling clerks, and
still the act would be imperative.

ANOTHER TAx.-The Legislature will
shortly be called on to enact law giving
to the Board of Trustees of this city the
power to levy and collec. a small tax annu-
ally for the support of the fire department
of the city. We presume no serious objec-
tions will be offered to such an act, as GER
tainly the people canuot expect few indi-
viduals to give their services and money to
defend the property of all. The expense to
the fire companies of keeping up their or
ganizations, and their apparatus in order,
by tax on the members, is altogether too
great :or the glory of the thing. The least
the property of the city ought to do, is to
pay the current expenses of the fire depart
ment' A bill for this purpose has been
considered by the firemen of the city and
approved. 1t provides that the Board of
Trustees of the city shall act as a check
upon the extravaganza of the FIRE depart
ment, should there be tendency in that
direction.

FRIDAY MORNING, MARCH s9, 1851.

THE ArpuRy AND FOLSOM RAILRoAD.-We
learn from gentleman Of Auburn that sat-
isfactory arrangements are made by which
the FIRST section of the railroad from Folsom
TO Auburn will be put under contract at an
early day. This section completed will
bring the road to within about four miles
Of Auburn. The remainder of the road will
be over heavy country requiring great
deal of money comparatively to build it,
and will possibly demand the IS sstance Of
Sacramento and Nevada to help to q COM
pietion.
A railroad from Folsomis thus approach
Ing us, and in another direction we can
count with some certainty upon another
railroad from the Bay Of San Francisco,
having its nearest terminus to us at Aarys-
willie. Which Of these roads offers the great
est prospective advantages to US is matter
on which the people Of this county are de-
batting. 1t is conceded that if the railroad
from Folsom comes no nearer Nevada than
Lincoln the trade and travel of this section
which now passes pretty generally through
Sacramento, must inevitably go to Marys-
vile in the event of the completion of the
Vallejo and Marysville road. Time will be
saved in going the latter route.
We have heretofore endeavored to show,
and we think we have done SO conclusively,
that the interests of this place and Grass
Valley lie in railroad connection with
Sacramento by the way of Auburn. We
have endeavored to prove that the interests
of Sacramento would be greatly subserved
by railroad connection with the populous
towns of this county. So long as Sacra-
mento enjoys the profits of the trade and
travel of the southern and larger portion
of the county, as she now does, the neces-
sity of a railroad connection is not so ap-
parent. When, however, the Benica and
Marysville railroad is completed the loss of
the aforesaid trade and travel will be sensi-
bly, felt. To prevent Marysville from be-
coming formidable rival, it would seem to
be the policy of Sacramento to put forth an
enort IN time TO save what legltlmately be-
longs to her, and secure large share of the
business of a large and rich country to the
north of us, which is now done in differ
ent channel, but which might be secured to
Sacramento by a railroad to this place.
Perhaps we may be blinded by local in
terests in this matter, but while we enter
tain the views we do, we cannot help say
ing that joint cooperation of the citizens
of Sacramento, Grass Valley and Nevada
in a railroad enterprize which shall connect
these places would be highly polite and
beneficial to all concerned. Therefore they
should favor to the extent of their power
the railroad pushing out from Folsom in the
direction of Auburn, and unite their efforts
to extend it to this city.
The Nevada journal., 1861-03-29

CHANGE UNDER THE CESsus.-The Union
dscourses wisely of what the Legislature
ought to do on the census of the last year.
A new apportionment ought to be made
giving to the new counties the legislative
representation they are entitled to by virtue
of their population. The first counties of
the State that were organized have many
of them too much power comparatively on
the floors of the two legislative houses
The wrong has been continued for years by
failure of the Legislature of 1855 to pass
an act to take the census as required by
the constitution of the state. The wrong
ought to be righted by the present Legisla-
ture before it adjourns. Nevada county
will lose part of its representation; but
not solitary soul will regret it except
perhaps few chronic Office seekers who
are interested in keeping as many offices in
existence as possible. The better portion
of the population of this county would be
glad to see the county represented in the
Legislature by one Senator and two repre-
sentatives provided she was entitled to no
more. The less the better is the opinion OF
the people, if we have succeeded in arriv-
ing at their honest sentiments. The less
legislators we have, the less expense and
more responsibility, either of which is
highly desirable.
There is another matter, too, touched
upon by the Union, and that is districting
the State into Congressional districts &C.
cording to the requirements of law o.
Congress. California is the only State in
the Union that has been allowed Repre-
sentative on the floors of Congress contrary
to the national law. Congress would be
justified in excluding at any time the Cali
fornia delegation from the Lower House
because they were not elected by districts
as required. While the State was Demo
cratic the members of the party would moi
vote for districting the State fearing that by
complying with the act of Congress, dis
trict might possibly be formed that would
not send Democratic member after the
style of Denver and Herbert, and Scott anG
Burch The time having now arrived when 8
compliance with the law may be obtained
it is proper for the present Legislature te
act in the matter, before it adjourns.

THE SHOOTING OF DAVE WEBER,. Viii
Hanson, Esq, received letter on wednes-
day, from N. F. Scott tormorly of this city
but now in Esmeralda, recounting the cir
cumstances of the affair lin which "Dave"
Webber was shot. A dispute arose about
a lot. Webber was removing some poles
from the lot when a man named Haywood
came up and struck Webber twice over the
shoulders with a club. webber drew his
dsrringsr, but soon returned it to his pock-
ct without cooking it. Whether the blows
OF Haywood had stunned him, or why he
did not 6re is not known. After putting
up his pistol, Webber turned and walked
away Haywood followed with revolver and
shot Webber in the small of the back. He
fell and Haywood fred again upon webber
while down hitting him nearly in the same
place as before.
Webber is in critical state. The chan
ces are vastly against his recovery. He
himself thinks he will live, but his medical
adviser is not sanguine at all. The parts
below the wounds are entirely paralyzed.
Webber has q tenacity for life equal to
any man. He was once shot, and at an
other time cut to pieces by Mexicsns while
in the employ of Fremont, on his grant, and
again shot beyond a hope Of recovery in
Virginia City. Yet he escaped death in ev-
cry case. and may do so again. He has
pluck enough to live in spite of bullets,
knives or the doctors.
