Mixed.

Our neighbors Of the embryo State OF
Nevada are getting their political matters
somewhat eomplicated-in fact, to so great
an extent do the interests of that thriving
community clash, that it is fast becoming
doubtful whether the new Constitution be
adopted. The Constitution, as whole,
is, we believe, decidedly better than our
own; yet, the clause providing for the in
discriminate taxation of the MINES, brings
a large and powerful interest in opposition
to it. The Coppcrheads, ever glad to find
u real issue with the Union party, join in
with this opposition, while to make mat
tiers worse, the Union Convention Of Sto-
rev county turns out to be so thor
oughly "put up" that nine delegates bolt,
and an indignation mass meeting is imme-
diately called. Taking into account with
all this, the serious detection of miners
from the party ranks, and it may well be
doubted whether the name and prestige Of
the Union party will be strong enough to
carry the Constitution through success
full canvass.
We are heartily sorry that such should
be the case we did hope that the Union
men of the Territory would, by harmony
of action and thorough organization, Sc
cure the victory within their reach. and
give us q sister State of whose neighbor-
hood we might be proud. 1t may yet be
done, if private and personal interests are
made to give place to public duty; but, if
the present wire-pulling operations are to
be continued, we may bid long farewell
to the prospective glory of the State Of
Nevada. PlaceyriRe Nens.

Dutch Flat and Bonner Lake Wagon
Road.

Dutch Flat and Bonner Lake Wagon
Road.
In making up its valuable Annual
Record for the past year, the Sacramen,,
to Union gives the following description
of the above named transmontane road /:
Commencing at Dutch Flat, in Placer
county, sixty miles from the city Of Sacra-
mcnto, the Dutch Flat and Bonner Lake
Wagon Road follows the general course Of
the Pacific Railroad line along the "diiyde'
or water shed between the Yuba and Ameri-
can rivers in nearly a direct line, without
descending grade, to the summit of the Sierra
Nevada mountains at the Bonner LakefPass,
and, by descending grade to the Truckee
river and over an undulating plain, a dis
lance Of fifteen miles, to Ingham's Station,
on the Henness Pass Wagon Road, and dis
tant from Virginia twenty-nine miles-mak-
ing total distance by this route of IA miles
from Sacramento to Virginia.
The road bed in rock cuts and mountain
side excavations is in no place less than six
teen feet in width, and is nearly all twenty
feet wide, affording ample room for two
loaded teams to pass each other. The ascend
ing grade over the mountain in no place ex-
ceeds ten inches to the rod
The road has been constructed during the
past year, giving employ to from 800 to 500
men for more than six months, under the di-
rection Of Henry Polly, General Superin-
tendent, at an aggregate cost Of about
S200, 200, and by competent judges who
have passed over the road it is said to be SUI
perior to any mountain road Of equal length
in the State.
The California Stage Company will early
in the spring put on daily line Of stages to
run over this route from Auburn to Virginia,
in connection with the Pacific Railroad from
Sacramento.

Outrage ON Liberty.

Under this head, the Marysyille appeal
of Wednesday last, pours forth the fol-
lowing food of indignation against some
officer of the Government, who does GER
tainly deserve to lose his commission:
Gen. Wright, Commander Of the Union
forces of this State, or some miserable reptile
and dirty scalliwag Of the genus Copperhead
holding an office under the Government, has
made the California Express by Author
ity" paper-that is, an advertising medium Of
the United States Government. 1t is said
that all secessionists hereabouts have been
made glad in consequence thereof, and that
the whole Copperhead den at the Express
office had regular jollifcation over the an.
nouncement Of the fact. 1t is also stated
that one Of the proprietors of that delectable
Copperhead sheet has been going all over
town reading the communication to squads Of
COpperheads and boys, that announced the
fact that the Express was looked upon by the
Governments employees as a loyal journal,
deserving Of the Governments patronage. 1t
is an outrage against decency that so vile
rebel sheet as the California Express should
be made BY Authority" paper from our
loyal Government, and the man that made it
so, whether Gen. Wright or some scalliwag
Copperhead in his employ, should be forth
with removed from office. 1t is shame and
disgrace to the loyal people Of this State, that
such paper, which has never spoken u word
in behalf of our Government, but on the con-
trary has heaped the foulcst abuse upon all
in authority, should be thus patronized.
There is something wrong somewhere, and
time will determine where it is. We trust
that the matter will be inquired into, and that
the guilty party that made the Express the
official organ Of the Government in this Sec
ton will be made TO suffer the penalty Of his
crime,

The Sacramento Union of yesterday
has the following telegraphic intelligence
from San Francisco:
Thomas Lewis and Ann Lewis, his wife,
sue Margaret Allwyn for 5000 damages for
defamation of character. 1t is alleged, in
complaint, that defendant impugned the chas-
tity of complainant, in the presence of her
neighbors and husband.
The hG6eds corpus suit Of Don Marques
against his wife, for possession Of a child,
was decided in favor of the wife.
Since July LIST, $50 marriage licenses have
been granted by Lowery, County Clerk, l07
of which were granted this month, and 10 to-
day.
The loss Of the ship Gazelle, mentioned
in Yesterdays dispatch to the Union, is con-
firmed by New York telegram. She had
10000 pounds Of Java coffee on board.
Gold in New York yesterday was 1921.
The steamer Senator brings Los Angeles

Repudiates Its Own.

The Union of yesterday disowns its
leading editorial article of the day before;
at least it says in effect that the article in
question was a communication. The
manner in which the Reputation is made,
however, admits of different constructions;
and if somebody in that Office should
chance to tell tales out of school, and it
should transpire that the same hand wrote
the inconsistent articles, which the BGLe-
IN quotes from the Union, nobody could
accuse the latter of falSehood. The Union
says: That article was curtailed Of
one important word-important to the
small fry of the BUletin, at least-it
failed TO have communicated over it. as
Is our custom with articles not prepared
by the regular editor" This leaves it yet
an open question whether or not ''the
regular editor" was the author of the ar
ticle in question. After repudiating its
authorship, the editor Cfor the time being)
so>s on to defend the article, in which he
makes a terrible middle of affairs, and
founders around in the bog and mire and
darkness into which that paper desperate
ly flung itself, when in its wrath and dis
appointment it abandoned the position it
had occupied for weeks. 1t takes more
ingenious writer than had charge of af-
fairs in the Union sanctum yesterday to
take the turns out of such twisted coil
of rigging as that paper made of it when
it turned its sunmersault out of the Union
party on Monday last.

The Boilers at Carson.

The Carson Independent, of yesterday,
thus speaks of the Storey County Delega-
tons:
At 2 o'clock, the meeting was called to or
der, and made report in favor Of the regu-
larly appointed delegates from Storey county.
TheTeupon a long discussion ensued the
"bolter" delegation being very ably repre-
scented BY Fitch and others, AID the "regu-
lars" by n. A. H. Ball, Baldwin, Stewart and
others. The Convention courteously and
patiently listened to the gentlemen for about
three hours. OF the final decision Of the
Convention, no doubt could be reasonably en-
tertained. No fraud was proyen-or at
tempted to be proved-by the party contest
ing. As the Storey County delegation was
chosen, so was every member Of the Conyen-
ton. No doubt there was some sharp pSac-
tice at the primaries up in Storey. Indeed,
they are all sharp fellows up there-and If
one party was a little more on the shenani-
gan" than the other that's their funeral,
and not ours. Let them learn virtue, and
honesty, and fair-dealing from Us, and prae-
tice by it. The Convention decided unani-
mously in favor Of admitting the regular dele
gates from Storey TO a seat. As we under
stood, two of the " boiler" Of Var
ginia, and Frizel of Gold Hill pledged
themselves in advance Of the vote to support
she nominees of the Convention. After dis
posing of this matter, and appointing APP
propriate committees, the Convention adj
journed until this morning at 10 o'clock.

The DIFFERENCE IN THE NUMBER OF
PR1soSERs.-Reduced to its simplest form,
the matter of difference may be thus sta
ted: We hold 10000 uneXchanged reb-
els, and they hold $4,000 Federal soldiers.
They insist that we shall send to them the
1000 prisoners we hold, and receive i'll
lieu thereof the $4,000 they hold, by
which we would be cheated $1,000.
Furthermore, they insist upon the right
of hanging our colorcd soldiers and their
white officers that may be taken prisoners.
As to the $1,000 unexchanged rebels, they
modestly propose to receive them on pa
role, pledged not to bear arms until they
are duly exchanged. But we remember
the bad faith recently practiccd on us re-
Gently, in relation to the Vicksburg pris-
onerS, some of whom were rccaptured at
Chattanooga, that had never been ex-
changed. The $1,000 rebels, if given
back to the Confederatcs, would be de-
clared exchanged. and put into their ar
mics to fight US again. Our Government
must not comply with the demands of
these dishonorable and treacherous insur-
gents.

DEAD Locx.-The State Convention
was at dead lock all day yesterday, on
the nomination of Congressman. There
are four candidates for the position, and
our letter from there says that the friends
of each stick like wax to their man. This
is pretty good evidence that no "slate'
was made up before hand. 1t is now ex-
tremely doubtful whether the Convention
will be able to conclude its labors to-day.
1t has long ticket to nominate, and II
anything ike the same difficulty of seleo-
ton exists with the other officers, 1t viii
require day or two of next week to
finish the business. We expect tele-
gram from there, and shall keep our pa
per back to the latest reasonable moment
for It's arrival,
