DoS'r LIKE Ir.-The astounding GiD
fact has been communicated to us that our
plainly spoken opinion Of the manner in
which the nominations were made at the
meeting last Thursday night, has given
offense to certain parties engaged therein.
We must candidly admit that in our remarks
concerning that outrageous attempt against
the rights of the citizens Of Gold Hill, we
took no pains to please the taste Of the crowd
who were imported from Virginia or else
where out of the corporate limits, or Of those
who pursued the detestab!e policy of bring
ing them here. Of course, they don't like it !;
and if that class of people watch our columns
carefully, they will very frequently find arti-
Giles that will suit them perhaps even worse.
We wish it distinctly understood that we
publish paper to suit ourselves; confident
that our Judgment will dictate course to
demand the respect and support of that por-
ton of the community whose respect and
support are desirable. Nothing will be found
in our columns calculated to injure any citi-
zen who behaves himself in a manner becom-
ing gentleman, and minds his own busi-
ness. II there is ever paper published in
this town that gives entire satisfaction as
well to the evil and the corrupt, as to the
respectable portion of this community, it will
be conducted by other parties than the pro-
prietors of the News

THE MENKES. - When "Orpheus C.
Kerr" first introduced himself to the public
through the medium of his comical, sarcastic
war-correspondence, we went q very large
pile on him, and gave him credit for con-
siderable more than the ordinary average of
good sense. When, however, he so far vio-
lated all common decency and common
sense by marrying the brazen piece Of
scarlet" yclept " The Menken," we
chopped" on him, and placed on Orpheus a
copper dump Of the hugest and most ponder
Gus dimensions. To become infatuated with
an animal Ike her, was a weakness that has
overcome even wiser and greater men than
orpheus, and it may be consolation to him
to refer to the history of Lord Nelson and
others. 1t is well. His dream has however
come to an end. We perceive by a San
Francisco telegram that at Panama the
Menken left him, and went to Australia with
! man named Barclay. 1t is said that
Orpheus knew of her intention to leave him
for Barclay, but prevailed on her to wait
until they had left California. 1t is to be
hoped that he will be able to shake of the
recollection of the communicating connection,
and become through proper application Of
his natural talents something higher In the
social scale than the Menken's "man.

COTTON AND ToBACCo-A Los Angeles paper
says the several successful experiments which
have been made with the above.named products
in that vicinity, prove the fact that they are to
some extent indigenous to the soil, and that they
can be extensively cultivated with great profit, il
labor can be so economical. II is with pleasure
that we note the fact that in the trials in the cul
tvaton of tobacco, made by Messrs. Hutch
ings Keller, Dibblee & Bro, and others in Los
Angeles county; as also the experiments in the
growth of cotton which have been made by
Messrs. Workman, Temple, Watson and Wells
kill have proved most satisfactory; thus far,
all doubt on the subject of mature growth has
been banished We learn that quite number
Of acres Of each Oft these products will be planted
this season. Mr.. Keller is preparing ground, and
will plant several acres. There are at present
thousands of acres of land within the limits of Los
Angeles county alone, which IL admirably adapt
ed to the growth of both cotton and tobacco,
which now lie waste for want of embarkation in
the cotton and tobacco culture. The field is now
open to all the proof of profit to cotton-growers
has been demonstrated by the late shipment Of a
cargo from salt Lake.

Mr.. Charles Pave, in his recent account Of the
Pspal prisons, says there are three sorts OF pun.
ishment-all, in fact, tortures-which are inflicted
there; the cavaletto, colare and mordacehio. The
cavaletto is a hoggng, with the additional tor
ment that the patient is bound with his breast
against hard stone, that, his body instinct
lively shrinks from the blows, he hurts himself
against the stone. The coliare is an iron collare
by which the prisoner is kept for several hours in
standing position, with his head only a few
inches from a wall This punishment is inflicted
for want of respect to warders. The mordacchia,
more 6endish device than the others, Is q pair Of
pinchers which seize the tongue and keep it out OF
the mouth so long that it swellS and cannot be
drawn back for long while. This refined torture
is especially applicable to the blasphemers against
the Virgin or any of the Saints.

MARYsyILLE AND VALLEJO RAILRoAD.-Of
the prospects of this enterprise, the Solano Press
thus remarks: I'VE have Information from .
perfectly reliable source that there is no immed
ate prospect of the completion of the Marysville
and Vallejo Railroad. Interested parties state
that Eastern capitalists decline TO invest in the
road on account of the state of the currency of
California They will not send their gold here,
and, unless our Supreme Court decide the Specific
Contract Law TO be unconstitutional and green
backs are made the currency, there will be fur.
Their attempt to resume work on the road-at
least during the continuance of the war. This
news will no doubt be a damper on the prospects
Of the Napa and Vallejo Railroad Company, rs
the success of the Napa road depends in n great
measure on the completion of the main road from
Marysyille to Vallejo.
