MARYsvTLLE CRY PRINTISG.-The Marysville
papers are "pitching in" to the newly elected
Council Of that city on account Of their action
relative to the city printing. 1t appears that
the Council advertised for proposals to do the
printing, and passed resolution that it should
be given to the lowest bidder. A bid was put
in by each Of the three papers, and on being
opened the Council, regarding them all as be-
ing too high, rejected them, and ordered that
they be returned to the several Offices. The
Democrats bid was the lowest. and the BvpresS
and APPEAL say that the Democrat should have
had the printing. Heretofore the competition
among The several Offices has enabled the city
to get its printing done at very low figure /;
but il appears that the Offices have this year
entered into a combination in order TO get
fair price for their work.

CorPER ORE..-Some weeks ago it was an
nounced that copper ore had been discovered
near Crescent City, samples Of which had been
sent TO San Francisco for assay. From tho
Crescent City Herald of March 2sth we learn
that the result of the assays had been received
there, and the high antcipations were fully
met by the facts. The yield of the assays rang
cd from eight to fifty per cent, pure copper,
thirty-five being about the average. No silver
was found as had been expected by some. Par
ties interested were naturally elatcd at the re-
suit, believing that from the location of the
leads, affording opportunity for shipping at
very low expense, much lower per centage
would have jnstded them in thinking that for
tunes for many had been discovered. The re-
suit of these assays produced considerable ex-
citemeut aud the town Immediately resolved it.

ing. The Herald of April 4th chronicles fur
ther discoveries


Since our last there have been more dscov-
cries Of copper. aud the prospects are most fiat
tcring. A vein was struck few days ago on
Smith River which yields ore quite as rich as
the samples sent to Francisco recently from
the EvOca lead. In this there are three distinct
streaks of ore, all metNliferous, encased between
granite and slate. One, copper smut ore, with
directly adjoining u layer of steel gray ore sup
posed to contain silver, and another of red oxy-
discd material, in all about two and a half feet
in width. Within the same time further dis
covery has been made Of lead on Myrtle creek
which gives evidence Of copper and silver.
Greenish slate in broken fragment is scattered
over the surface. and near the surface at the
ontcrop the ore is decomposed. and contains q
mixture of quartz with more or less IRON The
assay shows copper only, yet it is thought that
in portions of the lead silver abounds. All the
lodes discovered recently are very accessible
and the formation of the mountains renders
them most feasible Of attack. They are in close
proximity TO on abundance Of wood and water.

SPEECHES ~ IN THE SENATE Mr. Nicholson, Of
Tennessee, adressed the Senate on Monday last on
the condition of the country In the course Of his
remarks Mr. Nicholson said, in the case of Kansas,
which was the last Territory likely to be organised
for some time in which there will be . chance to
establish slavery, the South had the empty triumph
of the laws in her favor, while the North had the
substantial triumph He further said the republi-
cans and abolitonists only differed asto the mode
of reaching the same end. Tho result to the South
will be equally disastrous, whether the abolition Of
slavery is accomplished byytho slow process adyocat
eddy the republicans by which the constitution is
to I've made the excutioner of slavery or by the mode
desired by the abotioniSts. Hewas not prepared
to decide in advance what contingency justify
the dissolution Of the Union; it was too momentous
question to be hastily determined. If our appeals
disregarled and our warnings met with derisi0n
and We be compelled to seek independence, our an
tecedcnt action should be marked with prudence.
lie would have no words uttered by Southern men
which could be interpreted as menace at the North.
At the same time, if all our warnings were dsre-
garled he was in favor of independence He urged
moderation on the part of the South, and expressed
the hope of preservation of the Union.


In the Senate, on the same day, Mr.. Hunter of
Virginia, spoke on the same subject. He pointed
out the vast Importance of tho products OF slave
labo: TO the people North and argued that there
was no "irrepressiblc" hostilites between the two
sections. Emancipation, he said, would prove ex
trcmely injurious to the people of all sections. If
the North could not in conscience carry out the pro-
visions of the Constitution the manly for her
is to say so, and prepare for separation.

manner in which Mr.. Clingman acquitted himself in
his speech and adds


He avows in this speech the universal senti-

tect itself but that people disposed to make
every effort to prevent such result that they can,
consistent with honor"

ing, among other things resolved, @ -
