LOCAL MATTERS.
ASSESSMENT ROLL FOR lS62-The Board
of Equalization have been engaged yesterday
and to-day in looking over the Assessment
Roll for this year-making corrections, listen
ing to objections,etc The list will not be footed
up for some weeks, but we should Judge, from
a rough comparison, that the Roll this wear
will show considerable increase in taxable
property, as compared with 1861. The in
crease in Nevada township is nearly $500, 900;
and there is also considerable increase in
Grass Valley, Little York, and one or two 9TH
er townships. Bridgeport, we believe, has
about held its own, and there is a decrease of a
few thousand dollars in Rough & Ready. The
total valuation of the county, including the
supplemental roll, yet to be made out will come
up to about four and half millions of dollars.
BY following strictly the law, and requiring
people to give in list of their property under
oath,a considerable amount of "cash on hand"
"'money secured by note" etc., much of which
has heretofore escaped taxation, has been as
sessed this year.
THE CADETs.-The Nevada Cadets thirsting
for military glory, and dcsrous of serving their
country in the present national crisis, wrote to
Gen. Wright, week or so ago, rendering their
services as volunteers. They received in reply
a letter from Lieut.. Col. T. c. English, of the
First Infantry Washington Territory Voun-
teers, stating that that regiment lacked three
companies of being full, and that if they would
apply soon, with full company of eighty-fve
good men they would be accepted. The officers
were to be subjected to an examination as to
their loyalty and military knowledge, and the
regiment, as its name indicates, is designed for
service in Washington Territory. The boys are
endeavoring to fill up the company to the re-
quired number.
REwARD.-The Town Trustees have auth
orizcd the City Marshal to offer a reward Of
one dollar each for every unlicensed dog found
