PoLIrIcAL DIscUssioS.-The regularly
appointed political discussion last even
ing, at Piper's Opera House, Virginia,
between Judge 4. W. Baldwin aud Gen.
Thomas II. Williams, was particularly
we'll attended, the spacious theater be-
ing crowded almost to suffocation in
every part ; indeed, hundreds were un-
able TO get in at all. S. 7. Gage
(Uuion) and F. l.. Aud (Demoerat) pre-
sided. Neither time o space will admit
Of a lengthy synopsis OF the speeches
of these two well known and highly
talented orators, the more particularly
as they covered considerable Of the same
ground rs in their discussion at Gold
Hill the previous evening, Of which we
made n lengthy synopsis. The eternal
"nigger" and the fearful Chinaman
appeared to set rs heavily upon tho
mind Of the General as ever, and that
choice, ever-present Democratic word,
"nigger," rolled over his ready tongue
several hundred times in the course OF
his speaking. lie made some very
good points occasionally, or what
seemed TO be until Baldwin sub
seuuently took them up, tore them
to pieces and showed up their utter fall
lacy. The General was Of course vo-
c~iferously npplauded throughout by his
Democratic constituency present. Judge
Baldwin's speech was n most brilliant,
stirring, loyal one, such as all true
hearted Americans, whether native or
adopted, delight in listening to and it
was apparent to all unbiased persons
present that he decidedly 60. the best
of the argument, and fully AS much APP
plause as his antagonist. We regret to
see personalities so freely INDUCED in,
however, between these gentlemen.
They certainly handled each other with
out gloves last evening. Public and
national issues, and not mutual person.
~ali,ies, We thought, was to be the order
Of their discussion. The meeting,
although decidedly a lively one, passed
off very we'll, with the exception Of a
few noisy interruptions from the Demo
cratic portion Of the audience.

or the music-loying portion of our ci,i-
zens who are DESTROYS Of seeing and

T~RucKxE.-Mr. 4. C. Hay, of Gold
Hill, who has just returned from the
new town Of Truckee - formerly Co.
burns Station-spesks of it as one OF
the very loyeliest towns on the Pacific
coast. Whisky saloons, gambling shops,
hurdy houses and similar institutions,
are as plentys q could be desired and
far plentier than lodging houses or
other d~esirables for public accom-
mediation. Building is however going
forward at q rapid rate, and the country
is healthy, even If there is q little frost
every night. The main street is crowd
ed with people passing to aud fro all
the time, like Montgomery street, San
Francisco.

will be sold ut auction. Everything as
far as possible will be converted. into
coin at some price or other, therefore \
fine opportunity to secure bargains Will
be presented.
SMALL.Pox.-Relative to this disease,
the Enterprise Of yesterday says: We
hear nothing more said about small
pox. No new cases have been reported
tor several days, and me or two OF those
who first took the disease are GONZALES
cent, The smallpox excitement has
completely died out" We are really
glad to hear it, and in view Of tho reck-
less vaccination of the unfortunate
public school children, and plenty OF
others a few days since, while the big
scare was on at that place, we hope no
damage was done worse thar the small
pox.
Hoxx FnuIr.-Peurs, apples, cherries,
%currants, gooscberries, strawberries
nlums, etc., can all be raised on thi:
side of the mountains, if properly culti'

only try.
WHITE PISE.-Marvslous stories OF
the exceeding wealth Of this new ais
trio. still come from there, and no doubt
at all but what it is rich enough. Per

having little to do here at present TO go
out there, as it costs but little 70 CO.
