LOCAL MATTERS.

AUDITOR's STATEMENT.-In another coli
umn will be found the statement of the Coun.
" Auditor, for the quarter ending Sept. lst.
The statement was prepared some two weeks
ago, but from inattention we have neglected to
publish it until nov. BY the Auditors figures
it will be observed that during the quarter en-
ding ON the first inst, there has been reduc
ton Of the debt on the general fund to the
amount Of $9,625 55-the INDECENT sick fund
remaining about the same, while the orders
drawn on the special fund have exceeded the
receipts, by eight or nine hundred dollars. The
bulk Of the property tax will be paid in Novem-
her, and the Auditors report for the first of De-
cember will show large reduction in the coun-
ty debt. The special fund is now in debt to
the Treasurer to the amount of $3.50; but this
fund is now derived exclusively from property
tax, which accounts for its running low at the
present time. There is about Sll 900 still
coming to this fund from the taxes of 1862.
which will be more that sufficient to meet all
demands upon it to the end Of the next fiscal
year.
THE CHURCHEs.-The Journal COMPLAINS
of the Democrat and Transcript for noticing
that there would be preaching in the Methodist
and Congregational churches, and at the Court
House. and ueglecting to notice the services at
the Batist church. 1t seems to attribute the
notice Of the Transcript to personal pique, but
don't know the reason why the Democrat should
n. Al.
the Baptist church. We can explain the reason
in few words: The pastor of the Methodist,
and members Of the Episcopal and Congrega-
tional churches, requested us to notice the SER
vices in their respective churches last Saturday,
and we simply complied with the requests. We
should have done as much. for the Baptists or
Catholics, or any other religionists, had we
been spoken to on the subject. five have ever
omitted to notice the Baptist services, when
requested, it was from fOrgetfulness, not nten-
tional. We have our preferences in religious
matters; but not knowing for a certainty which
creed is the true one, we etertain a profound
respect for all, and so far as our paper is con-
eerned, shall endeavor to treat them all alike.
STAGE LINE TO WAsHoE.-A movement is
now on foot, which we earnestly hope may sue
ceed, to establish line of stages between Lin
coin and Virginia City, by way of Grass Val
ley and Nevada. Mr.. McCue, the indeiatig.
liable stage man, proposes, il he can get suffi-
cient encouragement in Nevada and Grass Val
ley, to run tri-weekly stage from Virginia
City to Nevada, and daily stage from here to
Lincoln. The stages will connect here, and
with the cars at Lincoln, in such manner that
passengers can travel from Virginia City to
San Francisco in the same time as by the 9TH
or routes, and have the advantage of getting a
nights sleep on the way.
SANITARY FUND.-We learn that move
ment has been made by the patriotic citizens
of Red Dog and You Bet to raise something
for the benefit of sick and wounded soldiers.
Subscription papers we're started day or two
ago, and a gentleman who came down this
morning, informs us that about $500 has been
raised at each place. 1t is expected that the
contributions of the two towns will come up to
at least a thousand dollars.
APPLEs.-Mr. Geo. S. S. Getchell presented
us yesterday a sample of very fine apples grown
in his garden, on Piety Hill. They are new
variety, called the "Piety Hill Pippin," Of
mild tart flavor, mellow and mealy, bell-shape,
and mammoth size-those presented us meas
urino thirteen inches in circumference. The
"sacred soil" on which they were grown, no
doubt adds much to their size and flavor.
Characterization American Circus
is advertised to give performance in Nevada
on Friday evening next, the 26th inst. An in
teresting feature of the exercises, is the won
derhll performances of the celebrated trick po-
nies, "Wonder" and "YOung America.
TAxEs.-The duplicate assessment roll, for
1862, having been delivered to the Tax COllec-
tor, that officer gives notice of the times when
he will attend at the several townships for the
purpose Of receiving the taxes due. The notice
will be seen in another column.
WANTED.-The Transcript announces that
the South Yuba Canal Co. care in want OF 100
men TO work on the ditch" Will our neigh
bor he kind enough to inform the public where
he got this information:
JrsTIcEs CoNvENTIoN.-The Justices OF
the Peace elect, for Nevada county. are noti-
fed to meet at the Court House, on Monday,
the 9th proximo, to elect two of their number
Associate Justices of the Court OF Sess'ohs'
