LOCAL MATTERS.

ANNIvERsARY BALL---A private ball was
hold at the Hook 4 Ladder Cos house, yester-
dav evening in commemoration of the Ami
versary Of Washington's birthday. Some thir-
tv-6ve or forty couples participated in the fes-
tivitics, which were kept up till near morning.
Refreshments were furnished by M. Chauval,
of the Hotel de Paris, and every thing passed
off apreeabIy. About one o'clock, there was
an intermission of the dancing, during which
Washington's Farewell Address was read to
the company, in accordance with the Presi-
dents proclamation.
Gro. HuRsT.-Our readers will remember
that intelligence was received here, some time
last summer, to the effect that Geo. Hurst, for
MANY years a resident of Nevada, had been ar
rested in St. Louis, (Mo.) and was held in Gus
tody as political prisoner. How long he was
held in custody, we do not know; but letter
has lately been received from him, in which he
states that he had been released upon the hard
condition of taking an oath of allegiance to the
limited States, and Abe Lincoln in particular,
and subscribing to the New York Tribune.
SNAIL Pox.-The small pox has made its
appearance in this county, two or three per-
sons that we hear of being afflicted with the
disease. In San Francisco, the disease is rag

THE YUBA GAP ROAD.-The Yuba Gap is
probably the only pass in the Sierra Nevada that
could have been travelled with mules after the
deep snow fall Of last week. Four men came
in nOn Tuesday from Virginia City. They brought
one mule with them, and found little difficulty
in making the trip. They reported lot Of cat
tie following. Next day the cattle were brought
in, and the butchers have plenty of beef now
something that has been scarce in town for a
couple of weeks. This trip, after all the sixty
days storm, closing with heavy fall Of snow,
places the mark of superiority upon the Yuba
Gap in manner not to be talked away by inte-
rested localities who pretend to superior natu-
raj facilities. There was no gang out "break-
ing trail, nor shoveling snow, nor caved banks;
no running cattle back and forth during the
storm, to keep run of the trail. -Four men set
quietly out for Sacramento. They had been on
the mountains before, and knew where to find
them .passable. They packed their luggage on
mule, and quietly came through. What do
you think of that, you Truckee Pikers and
Pacerville sky-highers? And our express keeps
on with its semi-weekly trips, without State or
Government patronage.-[Sierra Dem.

AMERICAN TREATY WITH CHINA.-We
deem it not inopportune at the present moment
TO direct attention to the following article from
the existing treaty of our government with the
Emperor of China. The provisions OF this arti-
Gle appear to have been strangely forgotten in
certain quarters. An oppressive tax upon the
Chinese population in this State chiefly because
they furnish cheap labor, would seem to be
hardly consistent with the spirit of the treaty.
In looking forward to the more intimate inter-
course with that great Empire which we hope
to enjoy by the aid of steam communication,
and from which we anticipate so large an ac-
cession to our commerce and wealth, has it
never occurred to our wise men that this busi-
ness Of special, oppressive, "drive away" taxa
ton is game that two can play at? But there
is a higher motive than this, which profess
edy enlightened and christian people ought not
to ignore. Consistency and treaty-abiding hon
esty cannot be rec0nciled with the present cru
sade against the Chinese:
"ARTIcLE |. There shall be permanent peace
between the United States of America on the
one part, and the Chinese Empire on the other,
and between their people respectively. They
shall not insult or oppress each other for trihing
causes; and if any other nation should have diff
ferences with the Chinese Empire, or act inju-
diciously towards them, the United States will
exert their good offices to bring about an ami
cable adjustment Of such differences"
The magnanimity with which our government
proffers its "good offices" for the correction of
injudiciOus conduct ON the part of other nations
would indeed be most lunIinously illustrated by
the adoption Of measures now pending before
the Legislature of this State Mercantile Ga
zette.

The NORTHERN MINEs.-By private letter
from the Dalles, dated January 23d, we learn
that there is from four to ten feet of snow on
the route between there and Walla Walla, and
mat stages and animals can no longer make
rips. The Columbia is frozen over with thick
zee, SO 1t is thought the steamers will not be
able to run for a month. Our correspondent
walked all the way from Portland, and advises
all to refrain from following his example. He
expected to be able to leave the Dalles for Sal
mon river in about a month and not before, on
account OF the destruction of the road by snow.
d DIX hundred pounds of gold had reached the
Dalles from Salmon a few days before. Reports
nom the diggings were very favorable. From
town resident We learn that John Young,
formerly ofLogtown, had visited new diggings
on Powder river and beyond Fort Boise, which
were very rich. He had gone to Washington
county to Winter, and would start with par
y to the new miRes early in the Spring. He
strongly advises his old comrades about Log

The special correspondent Of the London
Times, writing from New York, gives lis in
pressions Of President Lincoln as follows:
There can be no doubt that the President
is the most popular man in the United States,
Without education or marked ability. without
the personal advantages Of 4 fine presence or
courteous manners, and placed unexpectedly
il position Of unparalleled difficulty and
danger, he has so conducted himself amid the
storm OF passion that RACES around him rs to
have won the good opinion Of everybody.
There is not journal in the country that
speaks Of Tim except with high respect there
is not soldier in the field VINO d5e5 not love
and honor him; and there is not a man in pri-
yate life, whatever may be his political opin-
ions or his views upon the origin, conduct, or
progress OF the war, who does not cheerful1y
admit that Mr.. Lincoln has shown himself
equal to his work, 1nd rescued the presiden-
tial office from the contempt into which it was
f4lling.
The explanation is now to be found in his
manly common sense, and his unquestionable
honesty. lncorrnpt amid the corruption,
persevering amid the yacillation, and single.
minded amid the falsc pretense and toreuous
double dealing Of thrce-fouFths Of the public
men with whom he has been brought iuto
contact, he has concentrated upon himself
without seeking it, m amount OF confidence
that Washington himself never enjoyed, aud
Of popularity that was only heaped upon that
PATRIOTS memory after death had sanctified
his claim to yeneration. Two other traits in
Mr. Linco1n's character are his good nature
and bis pluck, equ1l to that Of Lord Pa1mers-
tor, IN backing his 5aiends, Of both of which
his message to Congress, e1onerlting his min
from all blame for any error or ilegality Of
which they may have been guilty, and assuin-
ing the whole Responsibility Of every one Of
their acts, is very remarkable proof.

V1ScAEsTEE, Va, June rs, 1852.
4 very brave affair, which has never yet
received any mention, occurred upon the day
when Col, Ker1ey WAS attacked and routed by
the con1cderates at Front Royal. Il WAS 1t
Duckton, station on the Manassas Gap Rail-
railroad, four miles vest of Front Royal,
Company G, Of the Sd Wisconsin regiment,
with company -, Capt. Davis, of the 9Th In-
diana, are the ones which deserve 70 much
credit for their excellent conduct on that oc-
casion. They were attacked by 500 OF the
rebel cavalry, about four O'Clock in the after
as skirmishers and kept the force Of the enc
my at bay for the remainder ct the day, when,
as night approached, Cox Ruger came to their
relief With the whole Of the Sd Wisconsin, and
the enemy was compelled to withdraw. A
portion Of these two companies at one time
retreated across the river, but subsequently re-
covered and maintained their ground for the
remainder Of the day
It was here TINT Col Sheets, Of Ashby's cav
airy, was Killed, and also Capt. Fletcher Of the
same corps. Fifteen others Of the enemy
we're also killed.
An infantry man Was attacked by tHo Of the
rebel cavalry during this onset, one Of whom
he run through with his bayonet, which b.fpg
unable to Withdraw, he left fastened in tue
body Of the confederate and ran away, while
the other confederate pursued him with his
sabre drawn. and gave him two severe ga5hes
upon the head, transverse1y across the occi-
put, Penetrating through the bone of the
skull, and another cut across the neck. He
also received q sword thrust on the thigh, and
IN bis vain endeavors to parry of the bloTs
Of his assailant, the bone Of his left arm was
broken. Notwithstanding these many wounds
be refused to surrender, and kept On retreat
ing until he arrived at an embankment of the
railroad, in climbing which his advantage over
his fee on horseback enabled hiu to escape,
but not until be had struck his pursuer heavy
blow with stone. The boy retreated acros5
the bridge, where be fell exhausted. and was
subsequently attended By Surgeon + y l,oad,
under whose care he is now recovering.
These two companies having, with the relief
received from Col. Knger, repplsed the enemy,
fell back, and the next morning moved on to
join the main column, which they found on
the retreat near Winchester. Surgeon Bay
mond declares that he has never heard of a
case before in which man with so many
wounds has recovered from them, Two gashcs
on the head. one on the neck, q thrust
through the hip, end the forearm broken.

Afr. Lincoln has had another opportunity to
speak his sentiments on the slavery question.
The Quakers have been before Mnl--he Pro
gresEiye Friends. Mr.. Lincoln was very eau
tious and did not commit himself to any par
ticu1ar policy. The best thing have heard of
him late1y is his reception Of James Redpath
Redpath came to tell the president that Gcf-
rard, president OF Hayti, would send 9 white
minister to this country il Afr. Lincoln e5pe-
cially desired it. ssHayti is 30 GRATEFUL ssEs
Redpath, for her recognition at Tour hauds,
that 7as authorized to say that # you desired
it as fayoT, white minister should be sent
instead Of q co1ored one, OF course Hayti
prefers to send one Of her oWn children, but
ehew11 be generous even to the prejudice
against color Mr. Lincoln turned drolF in
his chair and replied:
"We11-you can tell Mr. Goffrard that I
shan't tear my shirt If he does send negro
here!'' Isn't that reply Lincolnish through
and through? HaTthorne's sketch Of Lin
coin in the july Atlantic is not relished here.
In fact the entire article is considered in an
unpleasant tone and spirit. Yon can see all
Ferys hearty supporter Of the war-and that he
is not il Office. There is q SOUR streak all the
way through it-or have not read it correct
". How ridiculous that so brilliant msn
as Hawthorne sheu1d go to see the President
With q set Of shopmen who were presenting
.ehip to bimi don't mean that the shop
men were not Just as good as Ha#thorne-
they probably are better men- But the great
author should have been properly introduced
