NEW CoUNTY.-A movement is on foot
in Excelsior to establish a new county out
of the eastern portions of Nevada and
Sierra counties-perhaps a slice of Placer
might be added with benefit to all con-
cerned. The necessity of the measure is
obvious. There will be a tremendous
population within the boundaries of the
proposed new county next Summer-some
of the more ssnguine estimate it as high
as $4,000, but $4,000 will be nearer the
fgure-and they will be remote from n
county seat unless one shall be created in
their midst. There will be a large amour
of litigation, and seekers Of justice will
find the luxury rather expensive if they
are compelled to journey with their law
yers, witnesses, etc., to Nevada, Downie-
vile or Auburn to obtain it. A petition
for the formation OF a new county, circu-
lated there q few days since, has received
the signature of nearly every business mar
and miner in the city and district. The
question has been extensively discussed !;
they have counted the cost and are willing
to assume the responsibility.

THE srATE CONVENTION.

The State Convention brought It's labors
to a close last night at about s o'clock.
We have attended political Conventions
for the last twenty-five years, and we can
refer to but n few which have made as
good impressions upon our mind as the
delegates who represented the great Union
party of this State in the Convention.
For gentlemanly department, intelligent
and honest faces, we have never seen a
finer body assembled in Convention on
this coast. Our favorite candidate, and
the favorite of such staunch and loyal
counties as Lyon, Nye, Ormsby, Esme-
ralda, and a portion of Churchill, Doug
las and Washoe, who came up to the mark
IN a solid phalanx and expressed, in as
emphatic tones as was possible, that Col.
CHARLES A. SUMNER was the f~ayorite Of
those counties for the nomination Of Con-
gressman-he. however, was unable to
achieve the victory, and the choice has
fallen to another. After about a dozen
ballots had been taken, and the friends Of
Sumner plainly saw that he could not get
votes enough, he came before the Conven-
ton, and in q neat and cordial speech
thanked his friends for the kind support
they had given him, and withdrew as a
candidate-pledging himself to support
the nominee of the Convention, whoever
he might be. r..
The Hon. John B.. Winters was then
placed in nomination-Messrs. Clagett
and Ashley still being in the field. Mr..
Winters was Immediately very popular,
and his ballots ran from 45 to 40; but SO
being requisite, he failed to reach the
number, up to h~alf-past 4 o'clock yester-
day afternoon, when the Convention took
a recess till ] o'clock-the last ballot
standing 40 for Clagett, As for Winters,
and s for Ashley. On re-assembling, MIR.
Clagett's friends being fully convinced
that he could not get the nomination, and
Mr.. Winters not being any more accept
able to them than Mr.. Sumner, threw
twenty-six of their votes for Ashley as a
bluff or tender, "give or take, throw
ing a sprat to catch a g~udgeon," ignoring
their instructions to go for Clagett "6rst,
last, and all the time expecting to
make Mr.. Ashley fall short Of a nomina-
ton just a fe'v, and that then the Lander
delegation would reciprocate and throw
their fourteen votes for Clagett, and be
declared the nominee! The strategy was
we'll conceived, and would have succeed
ed-but the friends of Winters and Sum-
ner were wide awake, and when the trick
was discovered they rallied and Ashley
plucked the rose off the bush, just as Mr..
C.'s friends were about reaching out for it.
They overreached themselves with their
twcnty-six disinterested votes and their
strategy failed them at the eleventh hour !
Thus ended the State Convention, and the
result is known. Every Union man
should, and we expect will, feel himself
bound to support the nominee.

The HYDRosTATIc MrLL.-The new
quartz mill at Rocky Falls formerly
known as Irishtown,) is completed. The
motive power is Il of Redding s Hans
bros Hydrostatic Engines, and as many
hopes and fears have been felt and ex-
pressed by the public as to the probable
success of the experiment, we are happy
10 say that the thing worked like a charm,
and all that is nov lacking is a little more
water. Should the working of this en-
CINE prove a success, and there nov ap-
pears no good reason to doubt it, it will
prove an immense saving where wood is
scarce and high, as is the case in most OF
our best mining localities.

LET us have peace in the land.-N. Y.

LET us have peace in the land.-N. Y.
Ners.
You Internal traitors! you may well
cry for "peace in the land" since your
hell born attempt to destroy this Govern
ment has failed; since you have plunged
the nation into a debt of four thousand
millions of dollars; since you have slain
hundreds of thousands of brave and loyal
soldiers, and brought mourning and sor-
row into the households of countless wild
ows and orphans. All this might have
been averted if you had remained loyal to
the Government, and you had cried out
peace when you turned rebels. The peace
in the land will come when you atone for
your treason in good acts Of loyalty. Not
before.

"a FELLow-FBgLIN0," BTC.-We visit
ed the State Penitentiary, on Tuesday +;
Deputy Warden Mason kindly showed US
around. We saw the road agent, Al.
Waterman; he looked healthy-was en-
gagged in wholesome and necessary work,
saving wood; had a "safety-cage" be-
tween his feet, to avoid the fence jumping
over him. He looks as though he might
live out his term. We also saw q number
Of other democrats, who also had safety
cage" attachments. Ugh! We don't
like to hear the ~clanking Of felon's chains,
and trust we shall never commit an offense
against law and society which may bring
us to such n horrible, such an ignominious
condition of mankind as to be compelled
to such a degradation. 1--WE also saw Geo.
Birdsall, who recently went from this
county, in the Penitentiary. He says he is
getting better, that the Warm Springs there
are doing him good. George, who is well
known among the policemen of Virginia,
and we believe is also we'll acquainted
with many of the convicts-haying run
together sometimes-should have met with
4 better fate. We feel sorry for him.
The State Prison is a finely kept boarding
house clean and well-kept rooms, and is
a pleasant enough place for those who
wish to live in the country, away from
the cares and temptations of the world.
But living in the Penitentiary is "not our
forte" as the venerable A. Ward would
gently remark.

THE UNION PACIFIC RATLRoAD.-The
Washington correspondent of the Sacra-
mento Union says:
While the Kansas termination of the
Pacific Railroad is being rapidly built,
there is a wide gap between the eastern
initial point of the Nebraska termination,
at Omaha, and the railroads of the Mis-
sissippi Valley. There are four lines of
railroad across Iowa, running from the
Mississippi toward the Pacific road, but
each one lacks upward of one hundred
miles completed to perfect the connection.
As no one route is being pushed forward
faster than it can be built by the sales OF
donated public lands, Congress may be
asked at the next session to insist upon
greater haste, under penalty of forfeiture
Of any further land grants.
Secretary Harlan has had several long
conferences with Springer Harbaugh, the
Government Director in the Union Pacific
Railroad, and in his forthcoming report he
will present an exact statement Of the con.
dition Of this great public work and
want. Harbaugh is confident that the
road can be constructed from Omaha to
the base of the Rocky Mountains in three
years, and thence to meet your California
road in seven years more. Be this as it
may, Secretary Harlan is determined to
have work pushed with all possible speed.

TELEGRApH
DATES TO OCTOBER 9th.
From tho Virginia Union Of this morning.

From the IGlnl0 Union OF tulb mornlnS'J
New York, Oct. "a special to the
Herald says: Gail and Rousseau had q
conference with the President and Secre-
tary of War to-day, during which the
Palmer troubles in Kentucky were dis
cussed. The result Of the interview was
that the President promised that martial
law shall be repealed throughout the
State !; that all negro troops will soon be
withdrawn ; that access to the Freedmen's
Bureau shall be corrected so far as vigor-
Gus probing can reach. It is understood
that the course of Gen. Palmer in the ad-
ministration Of Kentucky military affairs
is in the main approved by the President.
He will probably be retained in command
of the Department. Kentuckians are not
so much ~displeased with the acts of Gen.
Palmer as they are disguised with those
of som Of his subordinates, who have
been running little darkey machines Of
their own in some Of the remote districts
of the State. The withdrawal of colored
troops promised by the President, and
reinforcement Of meddlesome freedmen's
agents, will speedily harmonic affairs in
that State.
Henry Prescott, Assistant Secretary of
State under Gen. Cass, is in the city seek
ing the restoration of some Sea Island
property now in the possession of freed
men. He has taken the oath of allegiance,
but claims not to come within any Of the
excepted classes. -., o..
The Tribune's Matamoras correspond
ence of September 18th, says: On the
18th, Guadalupe Garcia, who four years
ago was in command of the line of the
Rio Grande, arrived at Brownsville. He
reports that q loan of 5000, 900 has been
effected by the Liberal Minister to the
United States. He also says arms and
other warlike materials have been bought
for the army. If this be. true the loan
will enable the Liberal Government to
raise a corps of from 10000 to $1,000 men.
This it had in view for some time past.
Such a corps would enable it to retain all
the country north of San Leandro river
before the French could collect adequate
force to arrest their progress.

MOUNT HooD.-Mount Hood is again

MOUNT HooD.-Mount Hood is again
erupting. John Denver, Of Company E,
First Regiment Washington Territory
Volunteers, writes under date of Sept. "a.
from Fort Vancouver. as follows:
On the morning of the 2lst I was post
ed on guard at the magazine at this Fort.
Between the hours of five and six o'clock,
and as the morning was particularly bright
for this season of the year, my attention
was naturally drawn towards the east, to
welcome the day god as he arose to the
horizon. Judge then of my surprise to
see the top of Mount Hood enveloped in
smoke and fame. Yes, sir, real jets of
flame shot upwards seemingly a distance
of fifteen or twenty feet above the noun
tain's hight, accompanied by discharges of
what appeared to be fragments of rock,
cast up a considerable distance, which l
could perceive fell Immediately after with
a rumbling noise not unlike distant thun-
der. This phenomenon was witnessed by
other members of the guard as well as
your humble servant.

Bio Row ACROSS THE PoND.-People
have been in the habit of making fun of
the Fenians, as if they were a set of harm
less lunatics aiming to accomplish mighty
but ridiculous objects. Indeed, the "Fen-
ian movement" has furnished the subject
for more clever squibs, b~urlesques and
witticisms than any other feature Of the
times" that has attracted public attention
for a year past. But in the light of the
latest European adyices, said movement
begins to look like a very serious affair,
and no joke at all. The English papers
inform us that the greatest excitement has
sprung up on the subject. The police
have taken possession Of the Irish People,
a Fenian journal, published in Dublin.
Twenty persons were arrested at the same
time in Dublin in connection with the
same matter, and also a number of others
in Cork. Furthermore, a strong fleet has
been dispatched for special duty or the
Irish coast. This looks as If there were
really something serious in Fenianism.-

PERsoNAL.-Among the really pleasant
acquaintance we made at Carson City,
while we were there during the sitting OF
the late Convention, was that Of the brave
and talented editor Of the Appeal HARRY
MrGHELs, Esq. Without wishing to fiat
ter, Mr.. Mighels is the best newspaper
editor they have ever had in Carson, and
the appeal the best paper. The versatile
pen OF Mr.. NJ. lends a charm to the appeal
which makes it one Of the best papers in
the State. The people of Storey county
should more generally subscribe for the
paper from the State capital. Much ap-
pears in it which they never see in the
Storey county papers. As Carson Is the
centre of our State Courts, every lawyer,
and every principal mine and business
man should have a copy of the Carson
Appeal.

London theatres. Gen. Butler appears in

love improperly to the C~onfederate's
daughter, but is foiled by a faithful negro
who has a fight with Butler and beats him
with the broadsword in a square fight.
Butler afterwards undertakes TO hang the
lover of the said daughter, but he is re-
proved. Butler is removed from COM
mand and the Confederate's daughter
triumphs. The play is said to be highly
exciting.
