JUBILANT.-As soon ms the announcement Of
the denomination of Abraham Lincoln, by accla-
nation, appeared on the bulletin boards of the
Alta and Bulletin this morning. the flags began
to come out, and in half an hour the whole city
was one ripping sea of bunting, every public
building, hotel and engine house displaying the
Stars and Stripes, while from all the principal
stores and private residences odd Glory" foa,ed
on the air. The shipping in the hsrbor was also
decorated in the same manner, and the whole
town was in tumult of enthusiasm. Bluxome's
Battery commenced firing one hundred guns at
half.past twelve and with the first gun the bell
of Engine Company, No. s, CMonumentaD com
menced ringing joyous peal. Except the taking
of Richmond, no announcement could have given
the loyal people of San Francisco more heartfelt
satisfaction than that of the denomination of
Honest Old Abe for the Preuidency.-AltS

DESTROYING TRoUT.-we were requested by
A gentleman to state that Lake Tahoe is being
rapidly depleted of fish, by persons who are en-
gagged in spearing them for this market. He says
that It is only the trout which are spawning in
shallow places that are speared, and that they
are unhealthy and unfit for eating. If the fish
are not caught with hook, and if they show the
marks of spear upon them, they should not be
purchased or used The game and fish law in
this Territory is only In force, we believe, from
the first day of January to the first of April, and
fishermen, the remainder of the year are at liber
ty to depopulate our streams of their inhabitants.
There are fifteen or twenty boats now engaged
in this business ut Lake Tahoe, and at the rate
they are at present being taken, the fine delicious
trout, which throng its waters will become SO
scarce, that sportsman may fish all day and not
get bite-UHi0n.

THE STOCK MARKET.

Each Saturday morning for some months
past, it has been our custom to give a review
of the proceedings of the stock markets of the
Territory for the preceding week. A review
of the sales for that period, given in the most
condensed possible form, used to occupy from
half to two-thirds Of column in our paper.
What fall is here, my countrymen! The
proceedings and sales of the past week are
too few and unimportant to deserve, and GER
tainly could not be strung out into, very
lengthy paragraph. The only sales quoted
are: Twenty shares Lady Bryan No. 2 at 81;
twenty-four La Plata Orc at Sc so; four and
a half Milton at $50; ten Jewett & Shepard
at Sl3 25; two Baltimore American at S35;
fifty Crescent at 81 50@5 so; fifty Randolph
at S767 50. Branch Mint is the only stock
in which any interest has been manifested at
all; and in that there has been a material
advance upon the figures OF last week. From
ST so it advanced to S55, with sales of one
hundred and thirty-fve shares within that
range, closing yesterday with sales of thirty
FIVE shares at SIS, buyer 80 days. Taken
altogether, it was the sickest week of the
season. With mining stocks at their present
ridiculous figures, holders will not sell, e1-
ceps under pressure of forced sale; and there
appears to be a general disposition on the
part of mining directors to postpone sales of
delinquent stock, and not force embarrassed
stockholders upon the present deprecated
market. We agree with them as to this policy.

A New Thing about Torpcdocs.


The recent seizure of torpedOes in the 81.
Johns River has led 20 the discovery Of novel appara
tls connected with them which goes TO show that the
Rebels are by no means anxious TO make too bold up
pearance Of their persons The torpedoes Themselves
are constructed after the style of those which have al
ready been explained in our columns For instance on
zach end Of common wooden cask is fastened pug
Of the diameter Of the cask at the base aud which
tapers outwardly 70 point The whole Is then GOV
cred over with a preparation OF paper and tan The
cap or fring-plug consists Of heavy brass tube
serted in the bulge part Of the cak so as to leave about
four inches exposed Each torpedo has three OF these
punecrs. The tube is filled with decorating powder,
which, when exploded communicates with the powder
contained in the cask efIectiug the desired result.
Attached to each end of the torpedo is rope which
al the length Of two more fcet-according 10 the
depth of the water in which il is proposed 10 place the
machnc-joins a single rope or chain, at the end Of
which is fixed heavy weight or anchor In order 10
sink the torpedo in any desired locality, has been the
practice formerly Of the Rebels TO tow them in boats

vented new plan for accomplishing that object and
is 70 that plan We refer AZ the novel portion OF the
machine. II consists Of an ordinary barrel attached by
means Of ropes 10 the torpedo and used as Q Nqat
Within the barrel is clock work machinery which is
wound up and so regulated that at a given time-say
I've minutes-a spring flies back and presses rod,
which opens and disengages the torpedo from the float
The torpedo is then held fast by the anchor 1t will be

barrel to float over the distance between the point and
himself In this manner he can effect the anchsorsie

Parties who have examined the torpedoes taken from
the St Johns express the opinion that they were sunken

submerged when anchored The only way the river
can be kept free Of the nuisance Is to have patf cor
