DELIGHTFUL NEIGHBoRHooD. - Napa
county, California, must be hell on a
small scale. 1t supports two Secession
newspapers, and appears to be general
Alsatia for all the Dixieites in the State.
The Irish Nstos some time since changed
hands, and altered its political complexion
from mild Copperheadism to staunch 10y
atty. Forthwith, as we perceive BY late
number, the Irish of Napa, in body,
have repudiated the Ns'es, as an "abo-
Ishin' institution, and denounce it in
horrible photography in the name of
Dimmocracy." The reputation Is
complimentary TO the Nstcs, and we hope
it may survive the loss of its Napa sub
scribers.

SECESSION SYMPATHIEs.-Ther recent news
from Maryland and Virginia, has demon
strated that in the midst Of the loyalty which
characterizes most Of our citizens, there is a
sentiment of reasonable sympathy with re-
bellion, which needs close watching and
constant vigilance. There is the leprosy OF
treason in our borders. When we hear men
willing TO wager their money in behalf of the
Confederate cause, and to make large risks
against the success Of the arms Of the Union,
we set them down as carrying the plague
spot of treason in their hats for JEFF. Davis,
or wish success to Lee and his fortunes. The
true American would as soon wager his gold
against the honor of his mother, or sister, or
daughter as against the life Of his country.
Let us be vigilant, when perchance the tele-
graghic wires tell of adversities, such as are
incidentto all warfare. The patriot, the lover
of the country, me loyal citizen will never
laugh when clouds hang over our prospects
and betoken victories to nur foes. We only
give word of caution. Recent events have
shown that the Provost Guard is wise in
stitution, and to maintain the undoubted
character of the great mass Of the people as
patriots, we have to urge that in times Of re-
beliion, it is not out Of place to subject all
REASONABLY inclined sympathizers with re-
belliou, to both civil and military surveil-
lance. Let treason hide its head in Nevada,
or else let it leave only bloody trunk for
burial.-CarSon Independent.

A vERpIcr.-The Coroner's jury in
the case Of David Mcintyre, whose kill
ing near Silver City few days since was
mentioned in this paper, returned a YER
dict tina. we find the deceased was
named David Mcintyre, a native Of Ire
land, and aged about forty years; thar ne
came to his death on the 18th day Of July,
1854, in this county, by injuries received
from a blow from a board or club in the
hands Of " Charley" and that whether
the same was accidental or Intentional we
have no means of knowing; and We fur
ther believe Charley to be the person by
whose act the death of said D. Mcintyre
was occasioned, all of which we duly GER
tify by this inquisition in writing by US
etc. The foregoing reminds US that, gen.
orally speaking, the generality of man
kind in general are generally very much
like the generality of mankind gener-
ally,

FACTS ABOUT THE SuN.-It has been esti-
mated that the heat emitted from every
square foot of the suns surface in an hour is
equivalent to that produced by the combus-
ton OF l,500 lbs. Of coal, and the mechanical
work which that quantity Of coal is able to
produce, is equal to that Of 1000 horses.
The light and heat of the sun are far greater
than any that can be produced arti6cially-
nevertheless, such rapid heat as that con.
stantly given out, would, in long course Of
years, occasion a sensible effect, if there
were no means Of restoring the lost power.
Some suppose that the fall Of meteorites into
the sun keeps up its heat. Others, that the
contraction OF the sun l0,000th part Of its
diameter would generate sufficient heat to
maintain its present heating force for nearly
5000 years. Assuming the density Of the
sun to be equal to that Of the earth, SINH
lar amount of contraction would suffice for
ten millions Of years.

SOME of the Western Democracy are not
pleased with the way in which Vallandigham
has conducted himself since his return from
"exile." They think there is something too
much of the braggart and demagogue in his
conduct. The New Albany Ledger, leading
Democratic paper in Southern Indiana, re-
marks that it "would have been more in con-
sonance with his peculiar position if he had
gone quietly to his home and there remained,
for time at least, instead Of making his
first appearance at public meeting" This
could have been the part Of modest man ;
but as Vallandigham has neither modesty nor
patriotism, he chose to make his first ap-
pearance after his return in political Con-
vention, where he could show off his defiance
OF Federal authorities - in a buncombe
speech.

PETERSBTRG DURING THE REVOLUTION.
This is,nGt the first time that hostile army
has appeared before Petersburg. On the Oath
of April, 1881, Gen. Phillips, of the British
Army, at the head of 2,400 men, landed at
City Point, and marched upon the city. The
Baron Steuben, who commanded handful
Of patriot troops, covered the town as best he
could, but was compelled to retreat up the
Appomattox. destroying the bridge behind
him. The British entered the town the next
day, destroyed a large quantity Of tobacco,
etc., ravaged several other adjacent villages,
and then set sail again to return, in the hope
of decoying Lafayette and shutting him up in
the Peninsula" Phillips was, however,
recalled to Petersburg, soon after which La
fayette appeared before the town and COM
menced bombarding it from Archer's Hill.
Phillips died during the siege, and the traitor
Arnold succeeded him. The British being re-
inforced, Lafayette abandoned the attack, re-
tired across the James at Osborn's Landing,
followed by CORVALLIS, who pursued him as
far as Hanover Court House. The latter, ex-
pecting that Clinton would reinforce him,
marched to Williamsburg and subsequently
retired to Yorktown, where he was Gagged
aud compelled to capitulate. The brave men
who defended the "sacred soil' of Virginia
against the licentious minions of King
George, little thought that some Of their de-
scendants would rise against that Govern
ment which they made such sacrifices to
establish-little thought that the cities they
so stoutly defended would, eighty years
later, become the strongholds of Domestic
Treason

IMPORTANT NAVAL ExPEDGTIoN.-While
public attention is attracted to the armies of
Generals Grant and Sherman, there has been
very quietly organizing one or more powerful
naval expeditions against certain Southern
ports which will be heard from before the
Summer is over. 1t is, Of course, improper
to give the number, character, or compost
ton of the vessels intended for this expedi-
ton; but the country may be assured that it
will be adequate for the work it is intended
to perform. Secretary Welles is of the opin-
ion that it is necessary for him to redeem his
reputation, and he is determined to make the
rebel fur fly, so as to save, if p. sible, his
position in the Cabinet. 1t is no secret that
a Number of iron-clads, which have been so
long building in Northern seaports, are now
available for active service.-Cficago Tribune.

THE CONSTITUTIONAL COW, EN-
TON.

11OH.
Judge Frizell. one Of the Storey CO unity
delegation in this Convention, was in town
Yesterday on a visit to his constituents
He saws that the trainers of the new Con-
stitution will get through their labors by
the last of the present week, when they
hope to present to the people Of the en-
bryo State of Nevada" fundamental
instrument which will meet with their ap-
probation, and induce them to vote favor
ably upon the question OF throwing OH
the youthful habiliments Of Territory.
and adopting the more manly Positioh u
State. He says the trainers OF the nc"
Constitution have shorn the old one OF
nearly, if not quite. all its Objectionable
features, and that under its provisions II
will be cheaper to carry on a State GoV-
eminent than it costs the people IN their
nresent condition. In the new Constltu-
t;on the office of County Judge is entirely
ou;,,sd Justices of the Peace have juris-
dic,ion in civil suits TO the amount OF
three hundred dollars; District Judges
have jurisdiction in all other matters, civil
and criminal, in their respective counties;
and provision will be made for salary
fund. whereby each Court will be, to some
extent, self-sustaining, instead of certain
and continual draft upon the State Treas
ury. The new Constitution also prohibits
the donation of any moneys, or its credit,
to any railroad company, association. or
incorporation Except for educational or
charitable purposes.) On the question Of
taxtion, the clause as adopted reads as
follows:
"The Legislature shall provide BY law for
uniform and equal rate Of assessment and
taxation Of all property, possession, and pos
sessory rights, excepting such only as may
be exempted by law for municipal, educa-
tioual, literary, scientific, religious, or chart
table purposes.
In creating Judicial Districts, two Dis
trict Courts are allotted to Storey county !;
and provision made that two years after
We become State. the Legislature shall
relocate, or create new Districts-and if
BY that body deemed best, one District
Court to be located in Gold Hill. We
give the foregoing features Of the new
Constitution from information impaired
in few minutes conversation with Judge
Frizel-but whether they will strike our
readers with a more favorable opinion Of
the prospects of the adoption of that in
strument, of course we don't know. But
we incline to the belief that if It can be
clearly shown 10 the people that State
Government can be carried on at less
cost than they now pay for the pitlful
excuse Of Territorial arrangement, such
as they now have, and that they will de-
rive some benefit from having State
Government, we doubt not many voters
will favor the proposition, who now feel
as indifferent towards the entire question
as we do. But it will not be long before
the sovereigns (') will be able to read the
new Constitution-s0iH see the figures
will hear speeches upon the question, pro.
and eon.-wI read lengthy comments in
the press upon the subject, and when the
election in September comes of, they will
be prepared to vote understandingly on
the question.

SOLID CAsH.-According to most of the
California newspapers, Washoe has GER
tainly "gone up the aume," and any
place in that extensive State is preferable
to this country. We hope Californians will
read the following crumb of comfort, an d
put it into their pipes and smoke it; it
will do them good. In fact, it gives the
lie direct to all reports about this country
being a failure; and Notwithstanding
these heavy shipments Of solid cash, our
communities "still live" and our mines
still shell out as rich as ever, with
many others about opening up their trea-
sures. If people abroad will not have
confidence in such shipments Of the hard
cash, they had better seek for investment
elsewhere. Read, Read: The quantity
and value of the bullion exported from
this vicinity during the present week
foots up to the following figures 1855
pounds, valued at $2O5,47l 81. This,
added to the figures in our report for last
week - 1885 pounds, S3O4,75O.H-
makes a total shipment for the past six
teen days of 2l,O4O pounds, valued at
S5l0,l22.l4-an enormous sum of money
to export from small community.

OrHrR.-An ass who signs his name
"Ophir," and is probably some turnkey
connected with the mine Of that name,
and who attributes certain remarks of our
mining reporter to the editor, gives vent
to his spleen in the PiGse of this morning
He asks if we are a stakeholder IN that
mine, and draws invidious comparisons
between its management and that OF this
paper. Happily for our financial condl-
ton, we are not one of the "lame duck y
owners in that deprecated stock, nor can
we lay claim to the superior manage
nent" which has succeeded in reducing 1t
from $4,000 to $500 per foot.

Thoss Worthies. shells.

Under the head of "Who is to Blame ?"
the Cal has the following upon the subject
of the shells, which were found upon recent
trial at Fort Point, to be worthless:
"We do not know to whom the fault
should be attributed, but blame rests some
where. 1t may be part of the shoddy con-
tract system, in which for years it has been
the custom Of contractors to cheat the Gov
eminent by every kind of conceivable ras-
cality through which money could be made.
Il will be remembered by many that when
trouble was anticipated with the MormOns,
shells were transported at heavy expense
from the armories Of the East to Utah, and
there were ascertained to be filled. with char
coal or saw-dust. They had better been so
at Fort Point, as then they might have ope-
rated instead of solid shot. 1t is fortunate
that General Mcdowell so soon discovered
their character, as of course he will soon
have the fault remedied. He has once be-
fore had fortune turn upon the question OF
defective shells, it is reported, and will not
be much in favor of allowing any chance for
a repetition. 1t is said that while in COM
mand of forty thousand men at Fredericks-
burg ready to move upon Richmond direct,
while Mcclellan should move upon the PEN
insula, he received a report from one of his
Generals that the shells were defective. He
accordingly made requisition for supply
of this necessary accompaniment. The shells
we're dispatched on lighter which stuck on
a sand or mud shoal and the delay thus caus-
ed delayed his departure until the Admins
tration got alarmed for the safety of Wash
ington and issued an order for him not to ad-
vance upon Richmond. We are told that he
feels confident, now as he did then, that he
could have marched upon and taken Rich
mond at the time, without any serious trou-
BILE, and that the whole purpose of the cam
paign was defeated in consequence Of the
simple fact Of the grounding of that lighter
with her freight of shells. Many great
event in history has found its pivot in quite
as trivial a circumstance. Had hostile
feet attempted the gauntlet of the Golden
Gate, and succeeded in passing in conse-
quence of the utter ineffciency Of the shells
"a not impossible contingency-some one
would have been decreed BY the public as
quite rs worthless as the shells, and the one
thus made responsible would, most likely,
not have been the guilty party. 1t will be
all right hereafter, we doubt not"

A QUESTION OF INTEREST TO HOTEL
KEEPERs.-In the case of William wilkins
vs.. William P. Earle, Of Earles Hotel, lately
before the New York Superior Court, where
plaintiff sued for recovery Of money entrust-
ed to defendants keeping, motion was made
to dismiss on the ground that hotel keepers
were not liable for the safe custody Of any
money belonging to their guests, beyond the
ordinary amount used for travelling expenses.
1t was also argued that in this case the
amount claimed to have been stolen was not
marked on the envelope, and that no one
save the plaintiff knew what the package
contained. Judge Robertson denied the mo-
ton to dismiss, whereupon the case for the
defense was opened.
