Placer county has given considerable toward

WAR INSURANCE CAsE-rHE ssGnoR

WAR INSURANCE CASE-TM s'GRoR
GIA. At the Liverpo Assizes the
following case has been tried: Mr.
Edward Bates, wel-known Liver
pool merchant, sought to recover
from an Underwater at Lloyd's,
Lamed Hewitt, the sum of 96, 900,
the amount of a policy of insurance
granted by the latter upon the
steamer Georgia, which, prior to the
eHecting Of the insurance, had been
employed as Confederate cruiser.
Uhe vessel, after being so employed,
was sent to Liverpool, where she was
dismantled and altered from a ship
Of-war into o merchant vessel. She
was then. bought by the plaintiff and
chartered to the Portuguese Govern
ment for the conveyance of mails.
Before making the purchase, sthe
plaintiff was informed that the vessel
could have British register. She
sailed in the beginning of August,
but after being outfa few days, she
was captured off the coast of Iortll-
gal by the Federal steamer Niagara,
which had been cruising about wait
ing for her. The plaintiff denied
that he was in any way concerned in
the American war, and at the time of
the capture the vessel was engaged
in a peaceful and legitimate trade.
Under these circumstances, the We sci
having been totally lost to tl.e own
ers, the present action was brought,
the defendant refusing to pay the in
surance. He did so on the ground
that ne was not aware OF the fact tina5
the. vessel had been previously en-
gagged as a Confederate war vessel,
which be urged was s. question most
material to the insurance, for if he
had known that fact, he should not
under any circumstances have incur
red the risk. For the plaintiffs it was
shown that there was only one vessel
called the Georgia, and her previous
employment was a matter of general
discussion, not only in the public
journals but even in the House Of
Commons. Verdict for the plaintiff.

right to sccede and that our security re-
quired its exercise in cooperation with our
Southern sisters. South Carolina, in 1852,
proclaimed by solemn ordinance the right

opinion of the State that she was sovereign

TION OF THE 1ST BAPTIST CHURCH.

Oae of the most severe thunder storms that
has ever visited our city, occurred on Ssturs
day night, about 81 O'Clock. For several
hours the heavy black clouds were collecting,
accompanied by ftful gusts of wind, and at
the hour above mentioned, the ste IN culmi-

and repeated CLIPS of thunder. About 8
O'Clock it was discovered that the beautiful
steeple of the Washington. Street Baptist
Church was in blaze at It's very pinnacle.
For some time the fame did not seem larger
than the hand but the fresh wind prevailing
at the time, Notwithstanding the constant fall
of rain, famed it into life, and gradually it

grand, and the whole city was illuminated by

Immediately on the alarm being given,
crowds of cit zens and so die1s rushed to the
spot, hoping TO save tie splendid building;
but all their 'fforts were in vain Owing to
the extreme height of the epire, one hundred

to throw water upon The fire, and all we're

church. But 10 this they were disappointed
for before the former was entirely destroyed,
the flames spread to the raltels under the

destruction of the church could not be pre-
