THE NEW COUNTIES.

Among the tens Of thousands OF evidences
Of material expansion in this Territory, Is
tbe creation of two new counties-"ChurchiI
and "Nve." These commonwealth have
started with many advantages and some dis
advantages, and they will doubtless grow
right along to greatness. The people who
come here 10 make cities, counties and dis
tricts are strong Of heart and will, and sInew,
and thev are bound to develop the country
bring out its mighty wealth, and spIendidly
prepare all these ATTITUDES for glorious
place in the family Of great States. The
bringing out power Of this people is the no
blest feature which, from the most substan-
tial point of observation, can now be contem
plated; and the conviction is irresistible
that the resulting works will be the begin
ming, at least, Of some OF the grandess
achievements of mankind.
Under the authority Of the Territorial
Governor, Henry Degroot has been making
superficial explorations in the new counties
of Nve and Churchill. The county seat Of
the latter ne mas !oCdteu at tAS 'A4sAoS - 49,
Plata which is nearly in the geographical,
center of the county. This point is the Prln-
eipal one OF the few at present eligible places;
j, has wood and water, and near by is
quarry Of fine marble. 1t is located IN the
Mountain Wells District, which is becoming
noticeable and attractive on account Of its
mineral prospects. The county, terr'torially'
isvery extensive, it being above one hundred
miles in length and about seventy miles IN
width. But it is generally destitute OF pro-
ductive capacity. In fact it is almost entirely
! desert; but still it is one Of the vast pro-
missing fields of wealth under the adventur-
Gus spirit OF our never-settled and never
satisfied people. This county lies to the
northeastward Of US.
Commissioner Degroot has just returned
from the county Of Nye. He found 1t difficult
10 select cite for the county seat, in conse-
ouence of the doubtful location Of one Of the
boundary lines, as defined by the Act Great
ing the county. 4 convocation Of surveyors
is determining the point. Nye county is, ex-
cept Lander, the largest county IN the Terri
tory. 1t embraces an area of ten thousand
square miles. Its population is rapidly in
creasing, and its mineral and agricultural
resources are great. It lies Jar to the south
east OF US.

ORLINsKI.-No doubt many Of our read
ers will remember this notorious burglar,
who, in 1858, committed large number Of
most daring thefts. He kept his plumber,
which consisted mostly Of gold specimens,
iewelry, cutlery, etc., in large chest, Sc
GREETED in the loft Of a carpenters shop. But
he was detected at last, tried. convicted, and
in the Fall of IS sent to the California State
Prison. In go, in company with several
others, he broke out of the prison BY digging
through three brick and stone walls, andthen
scaling the outer wall by the aid Of long
plank, and letting himself down on the out
side with a rope. He had never been arrested,
although he was seen several times at farm
ers' houses in SOnoma county, begging for
something to eat. OF course, everybody who
knew this noted burglar supposed he had left
the country. 1t seems, however, he has now
turned up in Aurora, in our Territory-as
dispatch from there, dated Saturday last, in
forms us that he has been arrested there.
Unless they chain him down as they would
bullock, we will wager a new hat that the
officers in Aurora will not keep him week.
He will wiggle out of their jail as snake
would glide through the grass Of meadow.
Who knows but Orlinski is the man who has
been committing so many Of the highway
robberies between here and Carson this
winter?

LATE FROM ARIzoSA.-Advices from San
Diego and the lower country speak of heavy
rains there recently one party says p inches
have fallen. A private letter from La Paz
A. T., speaks of heavy rains all through the
mining districts of that country; and where
last year and previously the ground was all
burnt up and the soil like an ash heap, now
everything is fresh and green and the passu-
rage excellent, and our informant only re-
grets that ne has not full supply Of garden
and other seeds to plant, being certain Of o.
tanning good crops. The same party also
writes that the late reported discovery Of
valuable coal mine near the Colorado river is
not warranted by subsequent examinations,
and that it is now believed by the parties
most interested that the so-called coal mine
had been sailed by an employee Of the COM
pany.

SIM Francisco Produce Market.

BUYERS of Flour in such exciting times AS the
present should remember that our millers have
been running on short time for two or three
months past-generaly speaking, selling in ad.
vance of its manufacture, and thus making sure
of a good milling profit, knowing that the supply
of Wheat was excessive, having for six months
past been enabled TO buy their Grain at such low
figures rs 10 insure them good profit at all times
without driving them to the necessity Of carrying
large stocks of Flour in warehouse and borrowing
money therefrom at . per cent. per month. The
fact u.s. the damages by rats in our warehouses,
coupled with the heavy expenses incident to
s,orage-to SAY nothing about other risks attend.
ing the holding of Flour packed in sacks-are so
great that the business of carrying large quanti-
ties OF Flour in this State does not pay the milcrs
for the risk They prefer to sell 10 shippers prior
10 its manufacture, buying the Wheat perhaps the
very day thew sell the Flour, and thus avoid all
risks of the market. The high rates ruling for
mill offal of late has been such to secure 10 the
most of our millers an unusually profitable sea
sons business. Even now. most of them have
sold largely in advance of their deliveries, but are
rapidly filling their contracts Shippers of
have all been driven from the market by the late
rise nor do we know of any one party or com.
pany that has bought on speculation Us much as
1000 bbls The late excitement in Flour has
been the result Of frightened community of con-
sumers all wishing to buy q years supply for
the high price of Wheat, we do not think present
prices are warranted by any scarcity now or for
Twelve months to come. We like TO see farmers
get big prices for their grain, and we trust they
will all improve the present golden opportunity 10
scll-sell now, if possible, at PIC p 10 /; and if
YOU can't get that, take less-but sell. As for
Barley, Oats, Hay and Bran, there may be some
reason for the present rise, but high prices like
those now ruling always bring aremedy. Our
country is 30 large the climate diversified, that
where one State or county may be afflicted by the
drought, the other may be entirely exempt; and
to say the least of it, private adyices from
some parts of our own State and from Oregon
lead us TO tho foregoing conclusions. Besides,
we can import Flour from New York via the
Isthmus if necessary. and sell it at $40 v Dbl, and
make money by the venture.
We note the arrival Of 10 tons California To-
bacco from Feather River, raised on Brannan's
Ranch. 1t is packed In boxes, and said to be of
fair quality. The markets to-day are quiet,
dealers generally being actively engaged in set
Ting up their heavy operations ofthe week. which
are usual on steamer day. Our quotations are I'M
changed, though were any party to offer to sell a
round lot of Flour and Grain, he would find it
very difficult to procure anything like the extreme
rates ruling the past few Days F. BHAetiH, II

FIVE FELoSs BAGGED AT ONE SWEEP OF THE

the nibblings that a nest of lively rats might

and Ellis-the rats We're in the pit and suddenly

pickpockets and shoplifters had lately left
New York for O new scene of labor on
this coast, and described their looks and habits,
photographs forwarded to this city from the police
Of that city furnished their features, and immedt-
ately the work of determination began. The

GRANT SHELvED.-The telegraph settles it to-
day that Lieutenant General Grant, by virtue of
the very handsome promotion afforded him by
Congress and the President, is shelyed as Presi-
Dental candidate General Haleck retires from
the office of Generalin-C Chief and, reporting to
Grant is assigned duty still in Washington. This
puts the responsibility of the conduct of the war
including the Virginia campaigns or inactions on
Grants shoulders, although it is by no meec5 GER
tain that he will himself retire from the field
Grant and Halleck are warm friends. After the
battle of Shiloh, Halleck stood by Grant
when friends were scarce. The now ar
rangement is doubtless made as mu-
tually agreeable as 1t can be when one goes up at
the expense of the other who goes down. Grants
chances of making capital as a candidate are GER
tainly diminished by leaving the field, of which
he was the master, and being placed where every
mishap over the whole or ,und will be charged In
part to him. fine Is the patriot that we believe
him TO be, that viii not disturb his composure or
be matter of regret to him. It is better In pa
triots view to his country than to rule over
it-far more desirable to hasten the crushing out
of the rebellion than to enjoy the honors and suf
fer the annoyances of candidating for a residence
in the White Houses. F. Bulletin.

THE WRONG OF NOMINATING BY
COMMITTEES.

We have always looked upon political Con-
yentions as an evil through which designing
men sometimes defeat the will Of the people,
But Conventions have been in vogue Tor
many wears, and are, in fact, an improvement
upon the former method OF Congressional
nominations. Many improvements can De
SUGGESTED whereby Convention VIII not De
under the complete influence OF a particular
80, Of men and whereby larger expression
c,o be given 10 the will Of the majority. 1t
has been 4 practice in this county since
its first organization for Conventions to allow
a Committee TO be appointed 10 make noml-
nations for the Conventions, practice pre-
venting what little free expression We have
in such bodies, and entirely at variance with
all proprietv of mutual understanding. Il
can be proven, we think, to the entire salts
faction of this community, that the split IN
the Union party OF last year, and the conSe-
Suent defeat Of the very excellent Const'tu-
ton, was wholly owing to the abuse OF this
Committee power, which certain members OIL
the Convention in this county could not IN
dorse, and which the people on election day
repudiated with great unanimity. We would
suppose that after the lesson taught to the
Union party Of this county they would be
content bv merely calling Convention and
letting Delegates select, in open Convention
their candidates. to be voted for By the peo-
pic. But !; appears that such is not the case
and that the abuse continues to exist. The
mass meeting Saturday night at Virginia,
and at which Gold Hill was represent
cd. did wrong, and did not fully result
in entire unanimity by means OF TINS
abuse. \ Committee was appointed
10 select Delegates for the meeting to ap-
prove, which they did, however, after many
persons had left, apparently dissatisfied.
The Committee reported unexceptionabIe
men, as far political and moral standing are
concerned. but the position is, nevertheless,
wrong. The meeting adjourned tillneNt Sat
u-day night 10 select Central Committee,
and we say let the meeting itself select the
Committee from among its members, and
good. intelligent men will be called upon, and
and at the same time no cause for dissatlstac-
ton will be raised 10 mar the action Of the
meeting.
