The Canada Excitement.

Inc Canada EXclCement. r
A despatch from Quebec, Deem
Der 10th, says:
Another Cabinet meeting was held

ID on the 10th of January. Stipendi-
Dry magistrates have been appointed
pn the frontier, especially to take cog.
hizance Of breaches of international
Jaw, and they are to be aided by a
strong police force. The Journal of

proclamation is disapproved by the
washington Government.
Private dispatches from a reliable
source at Montreal state that there is
a perfect panic in Canada amongst
railway managers, in anticipation of
pon-iutercourse with the United States,
which is expected, unless the Govern
nent takes prompt measures to allay
he excitement on the border At
attest accounts nothing was known at
Montreal of the Confederate raiders,
Dor were there further developments

money stolen from the st. Adams

Fthe rebels i'm Canada were awaiting
/ the result of the trial of the St. Al

ready organized for plundering towns
and farm houses on the frontier, and
were only awaiting the release of the
raiders as signal to commence ope-

There has been great reaction in
Canada, in rebel stock, during the
last few days and even the tories feel
disguised with the proceedings Of the
court presided over by Judge Coursal.

New RACE TRACK.-The Union is in
formed that the ground has been broken for
a new race track, about three miles north of
town, on the Geiger grade, which when I'm
ished will be one of the best on the Pacific
Coast. 1t is perfectly level, and the earth IS
i. soft, luamy soil to depth of several feet.
The distance round the track is one mile, and
experts saw that it cannot be beat. The Yolo
track, we believe, is acknowledged to be the
best in California, but owing to the overflow
of the Sacramento river, It is not dry enough
for running until June or July, and IS fit for
use during few months only. Messrs. Ben
ham and Gardner, we understand, are the
owners of the one in question, and are so
Letting subscriptions to carry out the enter
prise 1t is their intention to put up a hotel
and suitable buildings, and make the locality
a place ofreSort-the subscribers to have free
access to the track. 1t will be kept in good
condition, and free from dust, and in the hot
summer months will make a fine drive for
carriages and buggies.
FIRE IN yIRGINIA.-Yesterday afternoon
about six o'clock, small frame building
situated in the northeastern part of Virginia
took fire and was consumed. The alarm
was sounded, and the various FIRE companies
were promptly out. Engine Company No. !
went down as far as the Central MiH, but it
being seen that the burning building stood at
great distance from any other house, and
there being no water near, it was thought
useless to go further. Engine No. 3 ran off
4 steep bank, some ID feet high, near the
ward of the Central Mill with their machine,
but fortunately no person was hurt and but
little damage was done. When the FIRE first
started it was supposed to be at the Central
Mil. and there was considerable excitement
on the streets. The building destroyed was
of no great value, yet the owner no doubt
will feel his loss keenly enough.
A ToEL-RoAD has been surveyed through
American rayine, from Silver to American
city. Doubtless it will prove paying prop
erty. The parties who have had the survey
made are about to apply to the Legislature
for charter.
THE weather, after having continued so
exceedingly fine for time, has suddenly
chopped about, and is to-day as windy and
dusty as day in San Francisco

PRIZE FIaHT.-A gay fight took place this
morning, at the dump of the Gould & Curry,
Virginia. Two Intelligent contrabands, u
or citizens of the United States ria Africa,
were troubled, like othello'was with the fair
Desdemona, and not wishing to appear ridi-
culous BY going into law about it, concluded
to fight it out in the style of the "manly
art"-the prize being the possession of the
fair lady in dispute. So at it they went,
there being at least three hundred spectators,
who are supposed to be admirers of that
/ kind of sport. Each of the parties had a
second, as per the "rule," and at it they
went-not particle of paleness to be OBJ
served in either party. Eight rounds were
fought, with sundry clicks on the COB" &C.,
when "time, being called for the ninth
round, the "worser" Of the two sailed out
with a stone in one hand, to "fntch him
but the second of his adversary, cooked pis-
toll and threatened to blow his brains out if
he did not "drap dat stun" This settled
the hash; the darky didn't come to time
and of course the other "won de GAL" This
Is the last fight that has happened in Vir.
ginia.
The ScHrLLER.-This mine is in Gold Hill
RaSine, near the Ophir grade. 1t twas located
last spring from groupings, since which time
work on it has never ceased for day. The
stockholders are principally Germans, as its
name would denote, and in developing the
mine they have manifested an amount of
energy which is creditable. The incline goes
down upon the ledge, and is about one
hundred and forty feet deep. At distance
of one hundred and ten feet from the surface
there are two drifts, north and south, each
some fifty feet long. The rock has the ap-
pearance Of being rich, and owners hold stock
at considerable figure. Hosting is done by
means of within and horse power, and sew
eral employees are constantly at work increaS-
ing the depth Of the incline. 1t is proposed
to go down about seventy feet further, then
run in drift and commence taking out pay
rock. ........
DESERT DIsrRIcr.-There are men now
making a typographical survey of the coun-
try from the Desert mines 70 Truckee river,
for the purpose of carrying water from that
river through to the mines. At this date
there are some two hundred men engaged i'll
prospecting and working on the lodges in
this district.
A BENEFIr.-A ball for the First Regi-
ment of Nevada Volunteers will be given on
the ed of next month, at Milliugton Hall,
Virginia. The independent companies Of
militia will attend in uniform.
To BE PRoSEcrTED.-Thec city of Virginia

its citizens who have refused to pay the
