DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVENTION political
campaign in this State viii be inaugurated by
the democracy, who assemble in convention al
Albany to-day. What will be done there, who
will be nominated, and the principles enun-
ciated, it is impossible to tell. We notice that
several of the old political hacks have turned up
as delegates from different sections of the State,
which does not augur anything too favorable
in reference to their deliberations. The fear is
that these men will cling TO their old ideas and
load the party down with the dead weight of
the old issues, political rubbish and the clap
trap of cardinal principles long since obsolete
settled and buried by the war; that they will
show to the world that they have learned
nothing by their former disaster; and, added to
the load which they will have to carry, the
nomination Of old political hacks appears Alto
gether probable. Among the candidates men,
toned are some of The members Of Ex-Governor
Seymour's staff who were at Chicago laboring
with yallandigham in forcing his ideas upon
that convention, and aided in declaring the
war failure. The nomination Of any such
men will surely bring defeat. If they wish to
succeed they must honor some of those men
who have been in the field and labored to
make the war successful by their deeds of
bravery and military bearing, and give all
those miserable politicians who were engaged
In trying to prove the war failure the cold
shoulder. Another day will throw some light
upon the intentions and motives Of the poll
tcians who compose the convention.

We perceive from the foregoing, that
for the first seven months Of Its existence,
Storey county was governed at the rate
of forty thousand dollars per annum q
figure that under honest and capable
management need never have been ex-
ceeded. What has been done can be done
again. The estimates which have been
made by those of our citizens to whom
the calculations have been con6ded, bring
the cost Of running the new county down
to less than $4,000 per annum. In the
one matter Of hospital expenses, it has
been found that while Gold Hill is called
upon to pay one-third Of the outrageous
cost of maintaining the sick Of Storey
county, not one patient in ten in that in
stitution hail from Gold Hill. The fact
is, that the taxpayers Of the proposed
new county, can be saved at least eighty
tsOnsand dollars per anEam BY separation.
We are making this appeal to the Legisla-
ture, and it is unnecessary for US to con-
vince them that it is economy for US to
separate from Storey. Our taxpayers
are satisfied upon that score, and they are
the ones upon whom the financial risk
devOlves. That they are sausfed upon
that point, the petition for separation it.
self plainly demonstrates, it being signed
with greater unanimity than ha. ever been
evinced upon any public question within
our knowledge. The pecuniary risk is
our own. 1t only remains for the Leeis-
lature to say whether we shall be freed
from the domination Of the non.producing
hordes which rule Storey county with an
iron hand-or whether we shall remain
under that rule, and continue to swell the
proportions Of . county, which by its pre-
ponderating vote rules the State and re-
duces all 'outsids counties" 70 yassalage.

NEW TRUCKEE MINING DIS
TRICT.

Mr.. George Swenson, an old and ex-
perienced Gold Hill miner, has just re-
turned from q visit to new locality.
which has been named the New Truckee
Mining District. 1t is situated on and
adjoining the Truckee River, near the
Desert. Mr.. Swenson went our on a
prospecting expedition some weeks ago,
and having become satisfied with the in
dications," and positive existence OF not
less than three distinct lodges of silver
bearing quartz, he located for the 1mpe-
rial Consolidated G s S NJ Company $500
feet-one- third being located on each OF
the distinct lodges. The claims were duly
recorded in the local records Of the Dis
trict, in the names of the twenty-four per-
sons who constitute the company, the
members being nearly all residents of Gold
Hill and Virginia. Mr.. Swenson also
opened the claims in different places, to
the depth OF three or four feet, and to his
entire satisfaction discovered rock which
bears the very best of indications of rich
ness, both in gold and silver. He brought
home with him about twenty-five pounds
of the specimen rock, and having seen 1t
ourselves, we believe the discovery is GER
tainly encouraging to the claim holders.
Mr.. Swenson feels confident that there
are rich mines out there, and all they need
is to be developed. He is also sanguine
that when once developed they will prove
equally as rich as any mines now in Gold
Hill-and in anticipation of their develop
ment, he also located mill-site for the
company, on the Truckee. The claim
owners of the new company will hold a
meeting this evening, at Judge Robinson's
office, in Gold Hill, to perfect full or
gauization, by becoming incorporated, and
TO adopt measures for the opening of the
mine, and for hauling some of the ore to
one of the Gold Hill mills to be worked.

ENGLISH OpINIoNs.-The British press
are perfectly astounded at the result OF
Sherman's march, after predicting his de-
feat, based upon their rebel sympathies,
they have arrived at the conclusion that
the cause of their Southern friends is about
to use common expression, played out.
The London Times is now urging the
people of the United States to close the
war by negotiations, which interpreted,
meaps-that it is becoming perfectly clear
to the vision of the English friends of the
rebels, that they had better stop fighting
and make terms with the government of
the United States. We think the Union
men have carried on this war to suppress
rebellion without the aid; either material
or moral, of neutral Englishmen, and they
intend to close it out to suit themselves
and compel the haughtiest rebel in the
South to respect the laws of the United
States, without asking either the British
or French Government, or the traitor cop
perheads of our own land, for their advice,
as to the manner in which it shall be done.
Union men never can forget the course of
England and France during this rebellion,
and have q, settlement to make with them
when it is over.-Folsom Telegraph.

annually, by the imperial decree, called to

rich there is a chance for escape by sup
plying substitute at price ranging from

of the service, for the substitute business

REL. TArB.-The sudden and quite un-
expected demise of the late Walter S.
DEMO, who held the responsible Office OF
Melter and Re6ner of the Mint in this
city, has caused the closing of that estab-
lishment for probably the next six weeks.
Red tape requires that, till Mr.. DEMO 8
successor shall be appointed and file his
bonds, the business Of the Mint must be
suspended, as the report of his death can
only be conveyed to Washington by
steamer, and the name of his successor re.
ceived through the same channel. whose
bonds will have to be transmitted back,
and notice of the acceptance received from
Washington before he can assume charge
of the department. The business OF the
Mint, is likely therefore to be suspended
for some times. F. Flag.

RUSSIA AND TELEGRAPHs.-The English
journals seem to be quite astonished that
Russia has now, and for some time past
has had Geographic communication with
India. 1t appears that Russian line
passes direct to Teheran, and from thence
there is line passing direct to the Per-
sian Gulf submarine cable. But not only
has Russia this line to India, but it is an
nounced by the last arrival from Europe
that her Geographic service is now organ
lied as far as the frontiers of China. Fol
the past three years or more, while we
have been destroying telegraphs and Other
monuments of art, science and industry.
Russia has been engaged in constructing
this telegraph. The line passes by Kasan,
Jumene, Omsk and Irkoutsk, where il
divides into two branches, one to 1rbitt,
and the other to Chadrinsk. The total
length of the line is 5,438 verstes 1--we
eighths of mile eacb). This line will, nc
doubt be continued to Behring's Straits,
and the first flash of telegraphic commu-
nication between Europe and America
will come by that route rather than by

THAT EMBARGO ON SONORA
BOUND REBELS.

BOUND REBELS.
Commenting upon the order issued b.
the commando general of the Depart
mens of the f&dhc, requiring persons
bound for Mexican ports to register theil
names and give assurances that their par.
pose is legitimate and peaceful. The Ala
of Tuesday, says that the design Of the
order is to protect the Governmen. and
people of the United States. The means
is proper exercise of the war-power.
The secessionists may assert that 1t IS d
violation of the Constitution. and they
may howl about it as they habituaIy now
about every exercise of the NARROWER In
furious to the rebels; but all that bowling
only serves to let the public know the
enemies of the Government. The Consti-
tuition whichprescribes only peace powers
did not authorize the arrest of Sydney
Johnson and his associates when they
were about to leave California in arms,
with the intention of going to Dixie; and
neither does the Constitution authorize
many other actions which are implied in
the conduct of the war, and necessary to
national existence. The authority to issue
such an order is an essential part Of the
war-power, and does not in any way de-
pend upon such civil Jurisdiction as ex-
lists in time Of peace. Accepting, then.
the authority as sufficient, the question
arises, whether circumstances demand its
exercise: In response to this we can only
reply that we presume they do. The
commanding general has opportunities Of
obtaining information upon military mat
tiers better than those of any otherperson,
We do not pretend to have any knowledge
further than that which has been pub
hshed through the press; but General
Mcdowell may have proof about point:
upon which the public has only vague
rumors, or he may have information upor
points not yet mentioned in print. His
position brings presumptively not only
better information, but also, as to all mat
tiers within the limits of his specially,
more correct judgment than could be ex'
pected of civilians. The measures OF pre-
caution named in the order are proper FOL
the purpose intended. No pledge Will oe

The INTERNAL REvENuE.-The receipts
of the internal Revenue Office, at WASH
ington, for the week ending January 7th.
amounted to about $4,000, 1000. larger
than any week since the establishment of
the office. The rate of increase is largely
due to special tax on incomes. The
collections Of the special income tax in
Massachusetts, are about $4,000 At
This rate, taking the population as the
basis of calculation, the income from this
source would be about sixty millions of
dollars. But population is not proper
basis for such q calculation, as incomes
will be larger in old and thickly settled
communities than in new agricultural dis
tricts, where the inhabitants have not
much more income than is exempt by law.
The calculations of the department are
that thirty-fye millions will be realized
from the special income tax. ..--.,
