The Pain of Dying.

The pain of dying must be distinguished
from the pain of the previous disease; for
when life ebbs sensibility declines. As
death is is the final extinction Of corporal
feelings, so numbness increases as death
comes on. The prostration of disease,
like healthful fatigue. engenders grow
ing stupor--a sensation of subsiding softlv
into q coveted repose. The transition re-
sembIes wha. might be seen in those lofty
montains, whose sides exhibiting every cli-
mate in regular graduation, vegetation lux
uris.es at their base: and dwindles in the
approach to the regions Of snow. till its
feeblest manifestation, is represented by
the cold. The so-callei agony can never
be more formidable than when the brain
is the last to 60. and the mind preserves
to the end a rational -cogn;zance. Of the
state of the body. Yet persons thus sitna.
ted commonly attest that there are few
things in life less painful than the close.

OVERLAND RoUTE.-An important change
ia about to be made in the overland route,
which, Il is claimed, will considerably shOr-
teu the distance. Heretofore the coaches
passed by Fort Larrime, aud from thence
fly the old emigvant ronte to Salt Lake; but
the new route 10 to run direct from Jules
burg TO Denver City, (Which is about two
hundred miles south of Fort Larrime,) aud
from thence direct TO Bridger aud Salt
Lake. A young man who has been in the
employ OF the mail company, and who late
y arrived at Sacramento, says the work of
removing the stock from the old line on
Platte river bad already commenced, and
itRill probably take about ten days to get
che stages to running on the new route.

GEN. SHIELDs.-Tbe Washington cores
pondent Of the n. Y. Herald, writing under
date of June %. says:
The nomination Of General Shields, as Ma
ior General, was rejected by the Senate to-day
in executive session. 1t is said there was not
a vote in his favor. The testimony adduced
before the committee on the conduct Of the war,
in regard to the battle of Port Republic, show
ed, in the estimation of Senators, that General
Shields was either insane or totally incompe-
tent. 1t is said that many of the officers, med
ical and military, nearest to the person of Gen.
Shields for some time past, have been ready
to hear testimony to bear testimony to his in
sanity. Some Senators call it by a different
name, but it was sufficient to cause his rejec-
tion as a Major General, and will probably de-
pTiNe him Of any military command whatever.

The Nevada Democrat., 1862-07-22

HEAVY PRENIUM.-At the latest tele'
graphic advices from New York, gold was
commanding premium of from Is to 20
cents on the dollar. The standard, we pre-.
same, is the currency notes issued by the
Government, and which are in reality is
to 20 per cent below par. The heavy premi-
um on guild, has stimulated unusually large
shipments from California, and it was sup
posed that the steamer which sailed yester-
day would take over 81 800, 900. The de-
mand for gold in New York, amounts al
most 10 panic, bat whether IL is wanted
for shipment TO Europe, or for boarding

THE FRENCH IN MExICo.-The Atlas cor
respondent, writing from the city of Mexico,
June 2lst, states that on the l4th Of that month,
the Mexicans attacked the French at Orizaba.
Owing to some mistake in the plan of attack,
the French drove in the Mexican center with
great slaughter, but the right and left withdrew
in good order. The French could not follow
up their advantage, owing to the lack of cavalry.
The guerrllas on the Vera Cruz side OF Orr
zaba however, have not lost their time. They
have seized every convoy with stores, and burn
ed numbers of wagons. with provisions, ofwhich
the French were in great need. The troops at
Orizaba are on half ratiOns, and the poor citi-
zens are in a starving condition, as eatables
have advanced to famine prices. Gen. Almonte
who styles himself Provisional President, (and
who is protected by the French has appointed
a Ministry of very doubtful characters, and his
Secretary of the Treasury has issued decree
creating S500,O00 worth of paper currency,
which must be taken under the heaviest penal
ties, while forced loan of $50, 900 has been
laid in cash or merchandise. All the traders at
Orzaba, Cordova, and Vera Cruz have shut up
shop in consequence. President Juarez APP
pears not to be disconnected by the late mishap
and every man capable of carrying arms is
pressed into the service to defend the country.

ents agee that the officers and men are cnthus-
iastic and euger to meet the enemy. There
ore no sigrs Of decentralization or dissatisfac-
ton, and an order to move on Richmond at any
moment would be hailed with enthusiasm.
When they do march, it is supposed they will
take the 6ne Of the James River, so that the
aid Of the gunboats may be secured. Reinforce
ments are constantly arriving; during two days
of last week, 10000 men arrived in camp
