Correspondence of the Newsdealer'
FROM CANADA.

Mn. EDITOR knowing your paper
has large circulation, and is welcome
visitor to the fire-sde of thousands, L
thaoght you'd not think it amiss to let
them know of the sufferings of the inhab-
itance of this level country near the St.
Lawrence Near the junction OF st.
Johns river and the st. Lawrance, are
several Islands which have been peopleT
nearly ever since Canada was first settled,
the inhabitants of which are, mostly a
people of wealth. The river has never
been known to flow these islands until
last month. The river in this vicinity
rose 22 feet higher. than it was ever known
to rise before, and completely submerged
these islands many feet under water,
drowning most of the mbabitance both
rxen and beast, some few were saved
About four in the afternoon the wind
commenced blowing perfect gale, which
raised the waves almost mountain high
and dashed furiously against the tops OF
the houses, washed them all from the is
land save three, which were in some way
protected. Many trees were uprooted
and the unfortunate inhabitants left to
the mercy Of the waves. In floating
many caught in the tree tops. and thus
saved their lives, and many found wa
terry grave. One young lady was rescued
the next morning from a treetop, who had
been there some fourteen hours. having
two little children folded in her arms, one
of which was dead. Steamers passed all
over the island the following morning
taking in the Surviving ones from the tops
of the trees. Many were brought to Sorcll,
a village opposite, in the Steamers, almost
naked, bruised and blackened by the
dashing of the waters, las they hung in the
trees. One hundred dead bodies have
been found, and many, very many lost.
These islands which but few weeks ago
numbered about two thousand souls now
present themselves but barren waste.
Such is life. Yours truly, s-

bic rights Let Mr.. Lincoln try it, or
Mr.. Douglas either, and We will

time are viewing the immense works OF
the Yellow Jacket Mill, which, with its
forty stamps, is weekly adding many
thousands in treasure to the worlds riches.
We shall give a minute description of this
immense mill in our next. AS the twi-
light was deepening, and lights began to
twinkle from cabin and mill, we took
leave of our Yellow Jacket friends, and
away we came on our journey home, with
the pleasing consciousness Of having
passed one of the most agreeable after
moons within our memory. Up the canon
to Silver City-we didn't stop at Mart.
Reese's-through the doors of granite at
the gate-past noisy mills, of Gathering,
brazen hoofs, we at length found our
selves at dear, good, loyal Gold Hill,
where the record of Thursdays ride with
our kind friend, Mr.. rockingham, ceases.

O HILL

The result at our Gold Hill primaries
yesterday was very close. At the First
Ward, on the final count, five of the dele
gates voted for, were a tie-three being
for Sumner and two for Clagett. The
matter was amicably settled by the officers
of the Club. The majorities for the Clag-
EFT delegates ranged only from five to ten
Nearly a hundred of the Union Club did
not vote at all, there being between four
and,fve hundred names on the Club roll,
and only between three and four hundred
voting. In the Second Ward there were
upwards of two hundred names on the
Club roll, but only about one hundred
and forty voted. The majorities for the
Clagett delegates ranged from two to
twenty-five. The apathy or indifference
apparently manifested by our Union vot-
ing population on the occasion of yester-
days primaries, can only be accounted
for by the fact that the most of our voters
were laboring men, teamsters and miners,
and they would not or could not leave
their work and go to the polls-the con-
test, as they no doubt considered, being
only q matter of preference between two
aspiring candidates for Congress, and be-
longing to the same party. This is the
only way we can account for it. As far
as the contest between the friends Of Clag-
EFT and Sumner went in our town, we are
free to confess that nothing Of a politically
dishonest or discreditable course was pur-
sued. If Col. Summers friends had been
a little more active IN bringing out their
voters, they could easily have carried both
precincts. But the primaries are over
their successful delegates are now in the
County Convention, and as consistent
Union men we shall have to, AND WILL,
abide their deliberations and extend our
hearty support to their nominations, The
following were the delegates elected in the
First Ward: H. S. Tucker, r. A. Young,
John Nelson, (John Mcdonald, proxy;
these three delegates are for Sumner; J.
w. Wright, H. Donnelly, John Lambert.
J. B. Low, H. e. Blanchard, A. Mont
miny. The following delegates were
chosen in the Second Ward: A. L. Gree
ley, J. D. Swaney, J. b. Bivins, c. c.
Stevenson, S. McCurdy and J.. X. Cook.
Gold Hill daily news. [volume] (Gold Hill, N.T. [Nev.]) 1863-1882, 1865-10-07
THE RESULT.

Storey county has gone for Clagett at
the primary vote. When the number OF
delegates elected to the County Conven-
ton is respectively summed up, and that
statement alone is made, it looks as though
there was a vast preponderating favor for
the Enterprises preference" But when
it is known that twenty votes, in the Sec
ond and Third Wards of Virginia, would
have changed the result to Summers side,
the division is made known in a fairer
light. Only two votes were lacking to
carry the entire Sumner ticket in the Sec
ond Ward, with n exception, where five
was required, and those two were actually
in the ballot box, so far as manifest pur-
pose of and in voting was concerned.
Charley belong and a friend came up
from the First Ward, having some First
Ward Sumner tickets in their hands ; and
unfortunately they deposited two Of these
in the ballot-box, thinking they were vot-
ing Second Ward ballots. OF course they
could not withdraw them, and they were
not allowed to vote again with the neces-
sary understanding that the two misplaced
ballots should be identified on count, or
their genuine vote should 60 for naught.
By this mistake four Of the Second Ward
Sumner delegates were defeated. The
Third Ward Clagett ticket was elected by
ten to twelve majority, and the three Clag-
cit men on the elected Fourth Ward ticket
were successful by only three majority.
Hence it will be seen that Sumner was
defeated-put it in its worst phase, and
state the truth-by less than twenty actual
count-votes.
Now then, we propose to examine a
little into the cause of this defeat: We
do not hesitate to say. what hundreds
have already repeated within the past few
hours, that the Union men Of Storey
county are by a great majority in favor Of
Colonel Sumner. But a bargain was
struck between the Clagett managers and
some of the leading Coperheads for the
purpose of taking Storey county from
Summers friends. A large number OF
men voted at the Primary yesterday for
Clagett delegates who have always been
Democrats" and who have no idea Of
doing anything else than vote a Demo
cratic ticket at the next general election
They helped beat Summers delegates
which they did by the smallest of plurali-
ties.

ARBrrRARY.-Mr. Clagett's friends may
arbitrarily rule a County Convention by
denying or ignoring rights of the minority
of their own party, but they will find an
tagonists to that course when they ge;

There they wiH find themselves in a mos

but forty-two as yet known.

STATE COMMUNICATED. Sumner will
probably have more votes in the State
Convention now, on the first ballot, than
MIR. Clagett; and his vote will increase,
we firmly believe, to a majority on the
second or third ballot.
