LIKE CLoCKwoRK.-A gentleman from
over the mountains, who had a converse
ton before leaving Virginia with one of
the attorneys in the Pond and Read del
Monte case, which was tried last week at
Carson, assures us that it was one of the
highest old trials ever known in the Ter
ritory. The witnesses, who were num-
bered by scores, were all provided with
masked batteries in the shape of navy re-
volvers, derringers, and Arkansas tooth
picks" and "no foolishncss" appeared to
be the watchword with all. Interested
parties found it necessary several times to
smuggle their witnesses out of town, lest
the aforesaid witnesses might not be in
good condition to again testify if found
by "the parties of the second part"
When one witness on the stand was tcs-
tifying rather "strong," or with the appa-
rent prcciscness of detail to suit the other
crowd, the court room resounded with the
musical tick of pocket pistols cooking,
until with a slight imaginative stretch, a
| ystander might suppose himself in O
large clock store. Gay times we have in

TERRITORIAL CONVENTION.

In pursuance of the call of the Com
mittec, the Convention will meet at Carson
tomorrow, at noon, for the purpose of
nominating candidates for the following
named offices, to be voted for at the cleo
zion to be held on the 10Th day of Janu-
airy. 1861:
Member of Congress; Governor Lieu
tenant Governor Three Justices of the
Supreme Court; Clerk of the Supreme
Court; Secretary of State; State TrcaSu-
rer; State Controller; Attorney General;
Superintendent of Public Instruction, and
State Printer.
The ticket nominated by that body will
be elected almost without opposition.
The boilers will throw their influence with
those who are endeavoring to defeat the
adoption of the Constitution, and it is
within the bounds of possibility that the
combined efforts of those worthless and the
Copperhcads, added to the vote which
will be cast honestly and in good faith
against the Constitution on account of the
Undertaking clause, may succeed in de-
faatins it. We believe, however, from
what we can gather from the signs Of the
times, that the people generally desire a
State Government, and the officers nomi
mated at Carson will be the ones who are
to administer the affairs of the new State
upon its organization. There is plenty of
the right kind of material in the field out
of which to select a board of State officers
and Judiciary that viii reflect credit
upon the State and the intelligence of its
people, and lay the foundation Of a State
Government, which shall inure to the per-
nanent prosperity and future greatness of
the Commonwealth. The delegation from
this, the most populous and potential
county, is sensible body of men, who
understand the necessities of their con-
ssitucnts, and we presume that those from
other counties have been selected with
equal discrimination. We have every
confidence that the ticket presented will
be such as will meet with general appro-
baton.

CoMPLINENrARY.-T Nevada Tran
script pays the following neat tribute to
the worth of Mrs. Cutler of the Sierra
Seminary at Carson: 1--WE have received
the first circular of the Sierra Seminary,
an institution of learning established at
Carson City, Nevada Territory, of which
Mrs. L. G.. Cutler, the celebrated elocu-
zionist and vocalist, is one of the princi-
pals. We know nothing of the prospects
of the new seminary. 1t is in proper
hands to make first-rate institution, pro-
ductive of lasting and immense benefits
to the new State of Nevada; its course
of study, as published in the circular be-
fore us, is excellent and extensive, en-
bracing almost the whole range of studies
taught in Eastern seminaries, and the
terms of tuition are reasonable for the coast.
But it is not of this that we would speak.
We wish to express our regret that so tai
ented and proficient lady as Mrs. Cut
Ter, one so prominent i'll the branches
which she teaches, had not been retained
to instruct the young ladies of our own
great State. Among the many institu-
tons of learning in California there ought
to have been one at least that should have
clutched for so great prize as Mrs. Gut
Ter; for, to teach the rising generation
how to become elegant readers, and
ground the young in all the elements of
music, Mrs. Cutler has no superior on the
coast. As she has sought recompense
for her talent in another field, we can only
congratulate the young and rising COM
monwealth on our eastern border that so
excellent lady as Mrs. Cutler is to be
one of the guardian angels of the States

grand and imposing mass meeting at the

Nine of these were elected to go to the
