NEVADA, WEDNESDAY, OCT. 15, 1856.
The Prospect in Nevada.—TLo California
American, of Friday last, makes an estimate of
the probable vote of the several counties in this
State—the whole of which, footed up, gives the
State to Fillmore by about ten thousand ma
jority. Nevada county is put down as good for
two hundred majority for Fillmore. This is
about the same mnjority that Johnson had last
year over Digler, and the estimate was probably
formed upon the result of that election. The
American appears to be oblivious to the fact
that hundreds in this county have withdrawn
from the Know Nothing order within the past
year, and arc now working with the Democracy,
while the ranks of the Republicans are mainly
recruited from those who voted the K. N. ticket
at the last general election. Between Fillmore
and Fremont, from present appearances, the
vote will be a close one in Nevada county, but
the vote for Buchauun is almost certain to ex
ceed that given for both the other candidates
combined. The news by the next two steamers
may have a tendency to modify the result, as
between Fillmore and Fremont, but under any
circumstances Nevada may l>e set down for
Buchanan by from ten to twelve hundred votes
over either of his opponents. Our friends in
other counties can rely on this as a fixed fact.
The K. N. papers are continually prating
about the “reaction” in favor of Fillmore, but
no one believes in these representations; and
it is admitted on all sides that the real contest
is between Buchanan und Fremont. A few of
the more sanguine Know Nothings still cling to
the hope that Fillmore may be able to carry one
or two States, and that the election will be
thrown into the House of Representatives, but
the general impression is that he will not get
the electoral vote of a single State.
Arrest of Webster.—Jim Webster, who
broke out of jail in this place, on Wednesday
night last, was re-arrested by Mr. Plumcr, our
efficient city Marshal, on Saturday morning, and
is again lodged in jail. Mr. Plumcr had got in
telligence that Lee Schell, the supposed accom
plice of Webster, was at Empire Ranch, and on
Friday evening, in company with Bruce Garvey
started for that place, in the hope of finding
Webster. On arriving at the ranch, they ascer
tained that two persons answering the descrip
tion of Webster and Schell had left that place,
and gone towards Marysville. They proceeded
as far as Smartville, in Yuba county, where
they overhauled them. When found, they were
asleep in bed, with their pistols under their
heads. The pistols were quietly removed, and
the two worthies taken into custody, and
brought back to this place the same day. There
being no evidence against Schell, he was dis
charged, although, it is generally believed he
has been connected with Webster in the most of
the robberies recently committed in this vicin-
Ity.
We are under obligations to J. E. Hamlin, of
the Broad street Book Store, for papers furnish
ed us during the week.
Coalition.
The Republican and Vigilance parties of San
Francisco have at length formed a complete
coalition. The Vigilance or “Peoples” party
are to have all the county and city offices, and
the Republicans are to have the members of the
Legislature. The “Peoples” ticket was formed
by a nominating committee, appointed during
the excitement of an immense mass meeting.
The committee was appointed by a few trick
sters, who had the whole matter cut and dried,
and the principal offices divided out, before the
meeting was called. The citizens assembled at
the meeting had no opportunity whatever to
give expression to their individual preferences.
It was understood at the time the committee
was appointed that the nominations should be
submitted to another mass meeting for ratifi
cation, yet this has never been done, and the
commitee have taken the responsibility of pledg
ing the votes of their party to the Republican
nominees for the Legislature. On the other
hand, a majority of the members of the Repub
lican County Convention, have withdrawn their
candidates for county and city offices, and are
now attempting to drill their party into the
support of candidates, many of whom are po
litically opposed to them.
The self-styled organB of the people in San
Francisco will doubtless continue to harp on
the corruptions of the old political parties; but
such wholesale bartering of party votes, and
such bare-faced corruption among party leaders
would never have been tolerated by any re
spectable political organization that ever had
an existence in this country. The Republicans
profess to have political principles; but if the
rank and file of the party in San Francisco rut
fy the acts of their Convention, and allow them
selves to be traded off like so many cattle, i'o
other evidence will needed to establish the fact,
that they think more of the spoils of office than
the success of their principles.
Democratic Meetings. —Enthusiastic gather
ings of the Democracy have been addressed du
ring the past week at a number of places on
the ridge. At Eureka a largo assemblage was
addressed by Dr. Gwin, S. II. Chase candidate
for the State Senate, W. F. Anderson and S. S.
Fenn.
On Saturday night a meeting of the Demo
cratic masses of Snow Point, Moore’s, Wolsey s
Flats and neighborhood was held at Orleans
Flat. It was a noble outpouring of the people,
who responded warmly to the sentiments utter
ed on the occasion. The commanding presence
and clear reasoning of that staunch old cham
pion of our cause, Dr. Gwin, kept the audi
ence deeply attentive for an hour and a half.—
He was followed by Clia.se and Anderson of the
county ticket. R. II. Mdlse was afterwards
called out aud in answering the call entertained
the assemblage until a late hour with an elo
quent and brilliant speech replete with informa
tion in regard to the political history of the
country.
On Monday night according to previous an
nouncement a meeting was held at San Juan.—
A large delegation came up from Cherokee in
wagons and on horseback bearing the American
Flag. The Democratic Club from Swcetland’s,
about sixty in numlier, marched to San Juan
and were greeted with enthusiastic cheers by
their democratic brethren. It was one of the
largest meetings which we have seen in the
county during the present campaign, and gave
a guarrauteo that Ilridgeport iB alive in the
cause of Democracy. Dr. Gwin was received
with cordial applause and throughout his ad
dress was listened to with eager attention. W.
F. Anderson spoke briefly of the men and mea
sures proper to be considered in the present
contest and was followed by W. II. Martin of
Nevada in his inimitable vein of humor and sar
casm.
Parker II. Pierce, candidate for Assembly,
was called for, and in response, made a neat
aud sensible speech, In which Indwell sustained
his reputation, whatever lie has won in the com
munity as a man of substantial intelligence.
Mr. Hanna, of Cherokee, the young Pennsyl
vanian, was also called out and spoke in his
usual animated style for about one hour. The
president of the meeting, Harry Swectland, in
reply to a call made upon him, excused himself
on account of the lateness of the hour, and pro
posed an adjournment with three cheers for
Ruck and Brcck, which were given with a spirit
which exhibits the living zeal of the men of the
mountains.
Naturalization Papers.— -We call the atten
tion of such persons ns are desirous of obtaining
naturalization papers, to the fact that the Dis
trict Court for this county is now in session.
This Court, according to the decision of the
Supreme Court, is the only one in the State
having jurisdiction in cases of naturalization,
aud those entitled to their papers should attend
to it at once. The law requires persons to show
satisfactory proof to the Court that they have
resided at least five years in some State or Ter
ritory of the United States, and that they have
been residents of this State one year, aud that
they have conducted themselves as good citi
zens, attached to our government; and further,
that they have made declaration of their inten
tion to become citizens at least two years prior
to their application to be admitted as citizens.
Persons arriving in the United States under
eighteen years of age, can obtain their full pa
i pers by showing u residence of five years, in
i eluding three years under the age of twenty-one
j years.
Fikk— Loss of Lira.—Last Tuesday night,
I about 11 o clock, says the Forest City Democrat ,
a fire broke out in an unoccupied hotel—save
| one tenant—at Minesota, three miles south of
l Forest City, known as the “Spring House,”
aud was entirely destroyed. Its occupant, Mr.
Samuel Price, was consumed by the flames.—
: Shortly alter the building caught he was ob
j served in the flames grappling for life, and
| shrieking for assistance, but no earthly power
i could rescue him. When he retired he was in
i toxicated, and it is supposed he neglected to ex
: iiuguish the light, from which fire was commit
: nicated to the premises. Alas, poor soul, he
fell a victim to that monster-demon, intempe
rance, and devouring flames sung his funeral
dirge.
It will be seen by a notice in another column,
that J. V. Hathaway is announced as an inde
pendent candidate for Constable for Nevada
Township.
Democratic Meeting in Nevada.— An enthu
siastic meeting of the Democracy, assembled on
Monday evening last, in front of the American
Exchange, to listen to the speeches of those able
and eloquent champions of Democracy, Messrs.
Frank Tilford and B. F. Washington. Mr. Til
ford spoke about two hours; his speech was one
of great power, and covered the whole ground
of discussion between the Democratic party and
the sterile opposition. He unfolded the broad
and liberal principles which have ever charac
terized and distinguished the tenets of that par
ty, from the narrow and exclusive policy of
those who have been arrayed against it, and
tare away the mask which hides the face of the
abolition faction, which is seeking to obtain
control of the government under the name of
republicanism.
B. F. Washington spoke to a late hour, in his
forcible aud convincing manner, making the
facts of history tell powerfully before the peo
ple against the bare perversions to which it has
been subjected by our opponents.
Ei. Doiiaoo all Right.— A correspondent of
the State Journal, writing from l’lacerville,
says: “My business has lately called ine over
this county, and I had good opportunity fairly
to canvass public sentiment, and you may safe
ly put El Dorado down as the banner county of
the State. Our majority will not be less than
fifteen hundred. The Know Nothings are trying
to make a coalition with the Republicans, but
their effort will lie abortive. They do this be
cause the Republican strength in El Dorado as
everywhere in the .State—is mainly derived
from the Know Nothing party.
Goon Claims. —We saw on Monday last a lot
of gold dust, valued at something over six hun
dred dollars, which was washed out of three
pans of gravel, taken from flic claims of the Key
stone company, on Selby Hill. The company
have sixteen men constantly at work running a
tunnel and excavating the earth, and occasion
ally was out a few pans to pay their expenses.
They have now a large quantity of gravel piled
up, which will lie sluiced out as soon as water
can be obtained in sufficient quantities.
San Fuaxcibco Pkimary Election. The De
mocracy of San Francisco held a primary elec
tion on Saturday last for delegates to the county
and city convention. The greatest enthusiasm
prevailed, and a spirited contest was kept up in
almost every ward. A good nominating coun
ty and legislative ticket was elected. San
Francisco, although claimed by the Republicans,
is almost certain to go democratic. The Know-
Nothings have not got a corporal’s guard left in
the city.
* The late Stoiim.— The storm of Tuesday night
the 7th inst., extended all over the northern
portion of the State, and was unusually severe
in many places. Considerable damage has been
done to the flumes on the Yuba river, and many
companies have abandoned their river claims
for the season. At Orovllle, Feather river rais
ed about two and a half feet, flooding the claims
and carrying away flumes and dams. From
the Shasta Courier, we learn that the storm was
very severe in that neighborhood. The rain de
scended in torrents, trees were blown down,
and the roads considerably injured.
Election in Sacramento. — An election was
held in Sacramento on Saturday last, for Aider
man of the second ward, to supply the vacancy
caused by the death of II. C. Rudolph. Lew is
Sanders, Jr., was the Democratic candidate, and
the Know Nothings and Black Republicans uni
ted upon D. Hammond. The Democracy tri
umphed over the entire combination, by the
following vote : L. Sanders, Jr.. 303; D. Ham
mond, 178; scattering, 3. This result was ac
complished with little efl'orl.
Meeting at Folsom.— A tremendous gather- j
ing of the Democracy came off at Folsom, on
Saturday last. Some four hundred Democrats
from Sacramento attended on the occasion.—
The speakers, were Messrs. P. H. Clayton, of
Placer, Calhoun Bcnhnm, 11. Griffith, of Yolo,
and W. I. Ferguson. The meeting was kept up
till a late hour in the evening, and adjourned
by giving nine cheers for Buck and Brock.
Townsuip Caicus. —The Democratic voters
of Nevada township, held a caucus ou Saturday
last, to nominate candidates for township offi
cers. The following is the result of the vote.
For Justice of the Peace—J. M. Clark, 255; I.
P. Van Hagan, 184; J. McFarland, 1G3. For
Constables —IT. S. Gregory, 219; Geo. Saviors,
205; P. 11. S. Corbitt, 129; scattering 4.
Repitilican Meeting.— A meeting of the Re
publicans was held in this place on Friday eve
ning last. Speeches were made by Judge Tracy
and Ira P. Rankin, and another mail whose
name we did not learn. From one to two hun
dred persons were present, and the enthusiasm
was kept up tolerably well, till about half past
nine or ten o'clock, when the crowd dispersed.
Political Meetings.— Messrs. W. I. Ferguson
and W. S. Long will address the citizens of Ne
vada county as follows: At Rough A Ready on
Wednesday the 22d inst.; San Juan, Thursday
the 23d: Orleans Flat, Friday the 24th.
“The Voice or Isuakl."—We have received
the llrst number of a new paper bearing the
above title, which has just been commenced in
San Francisco. It is issued every Friday, and
will be devoted to the moral, political, and so
cial interests of the Israelites of California.—
Messrs. II. Bein A Co. are the publishers.
Withdrawn— Tom Cox, one ofthe Republi
can nominees for Congress, has withdrawn from
the contest, and the Repulican Central Commit
tee have nominated J. N. Turner, of Nevada,
in his place. Mr. Turner is personally popular,
and will get the full vote of his party in this
county.
Martin Gallagher.— The Bulletin says that
Martin Gallagher, one of the men banished by
the Vigilance Committee, returned to that city
on the 5th inst., on the brig Glencoe, from Pu
get Sound. Of course the Bulletin is delighted
with the prospect of another hanging affair.
There arc now twenty two prisoners confined
in the jail of Calaveras county, charged with

Rev. Mu. Gobjsh, of the Methodist Episcopal
Church South, preached his farewell sermon in
this place on Sunday last. Mr. Gober has de

we have had among us, and his absence will be
regretted by all who have enjoyed his acquain
tance.
Democratic Enthusiasm. —The Democratic
papers throughout the State, are filled with
glowing accounts of Democratic meetings. Our
speakers are doing good service, and if half the
accounts we hear are reliable, the State may be
set down as good for Buchanan by a large ma
jority over both the other Presidential candi
dates.
Judge Moses Bean, who formerly resided in
Nevada, announces himself as an independent
candidate for the legislature from Butte county.
The North Californim. in calling attention to the

Senator Weller. — 1 The San Francisco <11vh(
has handled in a masterly manner, the nume
rous and villainous attacks which have been
made upon Senator Weller. While in the Uni
ted States Senate, he proved faithful to the in
terests of his constituents, labored hard in the
public service, and deserves thanks instead of
revilings.

Face tub Memo 1—20,000 Dollar Bet. —The
editor of that sterling democratic journal, the
New York Newt, states that he is authorize d to
make the following bet:
New York. Aug. 11. 185C.
Euh. N. Y. Daily News :—I will bet $10,000
that James Buchanan will lie elected President,
if alive, on the 4th day of March next; and

of the following named ten States, ($10,000 in
all,) viz :
New York, Connecticut, 'Wisconsin,
Pennsylvania, Indiana, Tennesee,
New Jersey, Illinois, Kentucky.

Mr. Broderick.— The Evening Bulletin lias
made another discovery. It says that Mr. Brod
erick caused the split between the People's com
mittee and the Black Republicans. We sup
pose it will next be found out that he was the
cause of the European war, and occasioned the
recent storm in the northern counties. The
Bulletin calls him a “political huckster,” and
yet that paper cannot discover a single act of
that gentleman's, cither in his private or public
life, w hich could form the ground work for
such an epithet. He is an unswerving, unfal
tering, and high-toned gentleman and democrat;
that is his great and only fault, and the one
which is the most objectionable to the rascally
Bulletin. —State Journal.
Buchanan at Home. —Jnmes Buchanan is a
good townsman, friend ,neighbor and Christian.
Do ye doubt? Listen to the talk of the Lan
caster American, a journal which has opposed
the Democratic party. Recently, it has come
out for Mr. Buchanan, and it assigns the follow
ing reasons:
“Because he is our neighbor and friend, and
because he has done more for the poor of this
city than all his traducers put together.
Because he is a statesman of the first order of
intellect, and is vastly superior in every respect
to all his competitors.
Because he is an honest man, and will admin
ister the government honestly and faithfully.
Because he will be President, not of a faction
or a section of the Union, but of the whole
American people—aud will know no north no
south, no east, no west, but treat all alike, fair
ly and impartially, in the true spirit of the con
stitution.
Because we know him and can truly say that
he is one of the purest, as he is among the ablest
statesmen now living.
h or these and other reasons which we might
give had we room, we prefer James Buchanan
for the Presidency, and shall do what we can to
promote his election.”
Voter! can you ask more solid personal rea

On Wednesday evening la.-t information w n «
conveyed to tho po” ; cflee of San Francisco,
that a woman liad been found murdered in her
bed in a house on Washington I’lace, (a small
alley that runs from Washington to Jackson
street, near Pnponl., Capt. Lees proceeded to
the scene of the alleged assassination, and found
the body or a woman lying in bed, dead and
stiff. It was dressed very Scantily in night
clothing. On the body, just under the ribs, and
a little way from ih*‘ ecu ■ to the left, was a
wound about an in< h and a half in length, and
apparently of great depth. Judging from the
aperture of the wound, it would seem that a
long and keen knife or dirk lmd been driven
upwards In the direction of the heart, causing
almost instant death. There was very littie
blood upon the bed- the ht-morliagc being prin
cipally internal. The body was removed to the
Coroner’s office, red an inquest was held over
it on Thursday.
The murdered woman was known by the
name of Yictoire Rotond; she was a native of
I France, and had It’. < <1 in this country about five
years. The following i~ from the evidence ta
ken before the Coroners Inquest:
Louis Mallet being nwo-n, deposed to the fol
lowing relation; He said, that he was intimate
ly acquainted with the deceased, whose real
name wi.s Louise i'oton. and that he had lived
with bet iu California during the last live years.
He resided at the Lagoon, and was employed
there in a restaurant called La Petite Yincenne;
the la-*, time lie saw Louise was on Tuesday last,
about ' e'e' 'k, ui tin Lagoou, whither she had
gone to see hi n, and she then left him saying
that stie would return the next day. The next
day he waited till one o'clock expecting her ar
rival; but as she did not come, he asked his em
ployer. w ho was coining into town, to stop and
inquire aliout Louis,;. His employer came to
the City, but finding the house in which the girl
dwelt, shiu up. he informed Mallet of the fact
on liis return; Mallet feeling uneasy, mounted
his horse and rode in, and went to the house of
Louise, which he found closed: lie knocked, but
receiving no answer, w nt to the hack door and
kicking it open, went in. lb then went on to
describe what ho saw, in the following manner:
‘•1 went into the. tied room and saw that the
bed was all tossed, and did not sec the deceased:
I went into the front room, but could not find
he.; I wont back again into the bed-room and
felt the bed ami found her covered up; 1 un
com red her, and found her lying on her back,
sti bbed in the left sid ■; she was dead: I gave
the chirm, and a number of people rushed into
the room; 1 afterwards sent for Dr. Olivers,
who, on arrival, examined her, and pronounced
her dead; he said he thought she had been dead
for eight hours; it was then between five and
six o'clock. P. M.: shortly afterwards a police
officer enme and took me to the Station-house,
where 1 remained until about nine o'clock, w hen
I was released; the deceased had no enemies
that I know ofi i ibis city; she had no money,
unless about $ Ml. and 1 tliinlfflio could not
have been inmd r, d for her money: she had no
jewelry, unless a brooch and linger l ing; the
d 'ceasi d could not have had any more money
about her, or J would have known it: she show
ed ine $(io mi the morning she came to see me
la«t at the Lagoon; the deceased is a native of
France, and agt d about twenty-seven years;
the back door was locked, a id the key taken,
away out of the door.”
Quite a number of persons have been arrest
ed on su p'e'on; among others a young French
man, named Eugene, who it is- aid was lying
on the trunks i :i (lip kick room of the adjoining
house o:i the night of the murder.

threatened on his Gault by innumerable hordes
of Circassians and Kurds, li ■ found himself
obliged to make a retreat across boundless
wastes of the inhospitable steepes, and as
nothing has since been heard of him, great fears
are entertained for the safety of the General
