THAT RICHMOND TnBAcco.-While the
rebellion was in the ebb tide Of doubtful
experiment, we had information that the
French tobacco at Richmond had been
burned. But very little sympathy was
fel. for the supposed owners. and themas-
ter was dismissed from the public mind.
II was concluded that the French had
one cause less for acknowledging the inde-
pendence of the Confederacy, and MIR.
Jefferson Davis government n despair
the more , n regard to imperial Interior
ence. The tobacco, however, appears to
be all safe and sound. and August Bel
mont, agent Of the Rothschilds, is after it
with as much ~pertinacity as he exhibited
at Chicago in the nomination Of General
Mcclellan. Another claimant is in the
field, represented by the English Minister,
while the United States deems the prop
erty as strictly rebel and subjec, to confs-
cation. The Administration and the
Courts will, no doubt, give to each claim
ant a fair hearing, and award the tobacco
to the right party. II the English and
French Ministers eanno agrce-which is
very probable-the only course left to
pursue is plain and straight enough.

LIEUTENANT SBANANDs, OF Company Is,
First Nevada Infantry, called Oh us this
morning. He has been stationed at Fort
Ruby for the past year,-is just mustered
out. He is another Of the Gold Hill boys
Of whose patriotic and efficient service in
Uncle Sans uniform we may be proud.
He expects to return to Ruby Valley to
settle. He has acquired valuable mining
and ranch interests in that ncighborhood.
We are glad to greet him; and hope he
may in private life realize the prosperity
his public service entities him to enjoy.
Lieut.. Seamans informs us that Captain
Thurston is duly installed over a Ruby
Valley ranch, and is flourishing in all re-
spccts. Lieut.. Tolles is with Capt. Thurs
ton as partner. A dozen of the p~rivates
stopped in the Valley; the balance of the
company came this way-to Austin and
Virginia - some bound for California.
Good luck to them, wherever they are.

would be greatly detrimental to the inter-

mineral resources of our country without
resulting in any benefit to the General

Senator Lambert, Of Washoe, and Senator
Hutchins, of Humboldt, are strong in
their favor for the rival railroad. And
the resolution will pass, and pass by near
ly a unanimous vote. Verify, those who
labored last year, in the face of much OBJ
loquy, to enlighten the people on this sub
ject, have their gratifying reward.
From what we can learn concerning the
general, comparative character Of the new
Assembly, it is Of better average of tex
ture than was the last representation in
that body. Cutter, the only man re-elect-
ed from this county, is a good floor MEM
Der; and Ingham, McDougall, Wood,
Gray, Glover, Lane, James, Hall, Vande-
water, Woodruff, all appear and promise
well on the start. Besides Cutter, there
is Bearss, Of Nye, Haskell and Mayhugh,
Esmeralda, and Beck. Of Washoe, return
ed the second time. Haskell could have
been spared by the people; he directly
misrcpresents Esmeralda on the railroad
question ; but he is supposed to be inval-
liable to the Dutch Flat Company, as he
last year conducted their fight against the
Railroad resolutions, and was properly
defeated. OF course. there is four times
as much preliminary talk in the Assembly
as there is in the Senate ; the former sit
ting, so far, four hours to the latter's use
Of one. In both Houses a thirty day sine
die adjournment resolution has been in
troduced, and duly laid on the table. 1t
will probably be taken up at the expira-
ton Of sixty days.

fit a concluding paragraph, though,-tha
Mr.. Crawford has introduced II Hang
jeff. Davis resolution to which there is
not now a dissenting expression.

l could not say that the town Is still on its

that it did not have any New Years drunk
it is, however, still laboring under the depres-
sion which follows late hours and " having a

HOW WE MEN
San Francisco never celebrated New Years
with more energy and vim since she was San
Francisco, and never was moro thoroughly
on her good behavior. We had any amount
OF horn-blowing, bonfires, musketry, bell
ringing, fireworks, and all that sort OF thing,
to hail the birth Of the New Year; but nary
fight worth mentioning. The day was spent
in making calls on friends, and l must say
that for once the custom was not abused and
run into the ground. People generally con-
fined their demonstration to their immcdi-
ate friends and personal acquaintances, not
vcnturing, as in former years, OF ringing in
a dozen strangers on every visit to every
house, and while refreshments were offered
at nearly every residence, very few Of the
moro fashionable and wealthy people offered
wines or strong liquors to their guests. The
day was delightful; the evening even more
so. Everybody enjoyed themselves his suited
him or her best, and when midnight came
the streets were once more as quiet and as
free OF crowds as on nay other day Of the
wear.
