LOCAL MATTERS.

VOTE OF THE COUNTY.-The Supervisors
met yesterday afternoon, opened the election
returns from Bowman's Ranch precinct, and
declared the official result in the county. The
vote for State Superintendent, by precincts,
will be found in another place, and the totals
for the county candidates. The total vote of
the county last year for Governor was 6,547.
Of which Stanford received 3,247 Conness, i ,52l
and Mcconnell I,779 This year the total vote
for Superintendent is 1872, of which Swett has
2,9S5, Stevenson 1920, and Fitzgerald III.
The decrease in the vote is therefore 1875, Of
which the Republicans have lost 3l2, the Un-
ion Democrats 3Ol, and the Secesh 1902. In
our next, we shall give a table, for reference,
showing the vote in the several precincts, for
some of the county candidates.
The WAR ON CANvAs.-A series of pain
sings, entitled ale Reaux's War on Canvas"
which have just arrived from the East, viii be
exhibited tonight and tomorrow night at the
Nevada Theater. The paintings cover over
5000 square feet Of canvas, and give faithful
and impartial view Of all the leading battles,
seQes, ETC., down to a recent date. Among
the illustrations are the panic at Bull Run, the
the battle of Shiloh, the sinking of the Petrol,
the fight between the Monitor and Merrimac,
the deaths of Lyon and Baker, and other bat
ties and interesting incidents Of the war. The
painting have been exhibited at San Francisco,
Sacramento and Marysville, and were highly
spoken Of by the press Of those places.
A CALIFORNIA REoIMENT.-By dispatch
received this morning from the Bay, it appears
that the War Department has accepted the
tender Of a regiment from this State, and
measures are being taken to have the force
Immediately organized and sent to Panama.
Probably this will be the only California regi-
ment that will have an opportunity of sharing
in the perils and honors Of the battles yet to be
fought in this war for the Union, and for this
reason we would like to see Nevada county
represented, and If an effort is made we think
one company at least, can be raised here in
short time, and fully equipped.
TRAINS UNION SPEEcHEs.-Mr. Welch,
Of the Pioneer Book Store, Commercial steeet,
has presented us copy Of the Second Series Of
Trains Union Speeches, delivered in England
during the present war. Many of Trains
speeches have been published in the newspa-
pers of this State, and our readers are familiar
with his vigorous style, and his plain, unvar-
nished manner of telling the English people
wholesome truths. The speeches of the second
series make a pamphlet Of ninety pages, and
can be had at Welch's stOre-price so cents,
DIED OF SMALL Pox.-Mr. Michael H.
Martin, who has been driving the Washoe stage
for Mr.. Mau between Nevada and Virginia
City, died at Lake City, on Sunday morning
last, of small pox. He was taken sick at Sar-
dine Valley, but being ignorant OF the nature
Of the disease, he came on as far as Lake City,
where he was compelled to stop, and the expo
sure probably caused his death.
PETTY THIEvING.-Owners of orchards in
and about Nevada, complain much Of petty
thieving, which is carried on to a considerable
extent during the nights. In some orchards,
green pears and apples have been stripped from
the trees by the bushel and carried away. A
number Of persons have concluded to watch
their orchards hereafter, being compelled to do
so in order to save their fruit.
LEG BRoKEN.-A Frenchman named Chas
Boulanger, who was mining on the Middle
Yuba, near Moore's Flat, had his right leg
broken below the knee, on Saturday last, by
suice box falling upon it. He was brought TO
Nevada on Sunday, and admitted into the
county hospital.
