NEVADA, WEDNESDAY, NOV. 12. 1856.
The End of Polltlen.
The election over, and our best hopes fully
realized in the triumph of the Democratic cause
in our county and State, we hold it a subject of
high congratulation with those who have labor
ed for that glorious result. Not only have we
triumphed as a party, but with it, triumphs the
Union. The patriotic spirit which looks alwve
all, to the preservation of the Republic and the
Constitution as it is, has cause to rejoice that
the seeds of fanaticism which were strewn broad
cast upon the land, have withered upon our soil.
Although they rany, unfortunately. In other
parts of our country, take root and flourish,
there is no danger that they will cumlier the
ground of our 1’ncific State. We have besides,
in this result, vindicated the truth, that the man
of the north and of the south, mny, under the
conservative influence of our constitution, come
together, and dwell in the bonds of that frater
nal regard which our patriotic fathers fondly
hoped, was forever to keep us one people under
a common government.
Desp'to the appeals which have l>ccn made to
the pride and passions of our friends of northern
birth, desp’tc the wild "shrieks for freedom” in
the ears of our adopted citizens, who they hop
ed to delude with that potent charm, the De
mocracy went forth with their principles plain
ly written upon their banners, and the hearts of
the people have rallied to their support. The
narrow and intolerant sp'ril which would have
fostered religions bigotry, has been rebuked,
that wh'oh sought to exc'tc hatred and distrust
of our citizens of foreign birth, has perished—
and. alwve all, that wh'ch contcinntd the patri
ot's prayer, nnd would have seen the "land rent
with civil feuds,” has gone down beneath the
tread of the army of Democracy. While we
have no desire to exult over a prostrate foe,
there arc reflections connected with tnis result,
we cannot repress. We cannot but believe that
after all the excitement which has been gotten
up in other parts of the country, that the sober
thought of the people, has declared in favor of
the just and liberal principles which have
stretched out the borders of the country, and
made it happy and prosperous. We cannot be
lieve that from end to end, the people have ar-
themselves upon a sectionnl line, and
have come to disregard the solemn admonitions
of Washington. We do not believe it, because
there Iiuh nothing transpired in the history of
our country, to drive either section to so ex
treme an expedient. We do not believe it, be
cause we regard our State us an epitome of the
whole Union, in which, the preponderance of
northern men Is in proportion, even greater
than in the confederacy, and here a just senti
ment has prevailed, end they have made a wise
use of tlie power .they possessed. So we believo
it will be in the great Stares of the North. The
masses of the people have not caught that infec
tion from abolitiouism, which inculcates deadly
hostilities to the South, and at this moment we
earnestly hope nnd believe that the noble de
mocracy of Pennsylvania, New York, Illinois,
Connecticut and other northern States, nre
sending up shouts of triumph for the cause of
the Union, and mingling their pledges of fldell
ty to the Constitution as it is; us it came to us
from the bunds of our fathers.
A few weeks will bring us tlie news through
out the country, and that ship which brings us
the t.dings of the success of Democracy, will
glide lighter and swifter upon the waters, than
any keel that lias ever ploughed the deep.
Common Sciioot. Notice. —We call the atten
tion of parents ami guard ans to the notice in
another column, for a meeting of all interested
to decide upon the locution of a school house
for this district. It is understood that the com
mittee having charge of the fund for the retief
of the sufferers by the lute fire, ure willing to
devote the buluuce in their hands, amounting to
some $<joo, towards this object. It is thought
that the lot now owned for school purposes, cun
be sold and the proceeds add d lo the fund
alwve referred to, udvantugoously applied in
the purchase of u lot and construction of n
house adapted to the wants of the community,
and to the health and convenience of the large
number of childreu in our city. We trust tliut
nil concerned, may be present iu order that u
full and satisfactory expression of opinion muy
be hud upon the question.
The Banner County —We claim for the coun
ty of Ntvadu, the crod t of being the banner
Democratic co r.ity of the State. Central Com
mittee, attention ! if you have a banner “stand
not on the order of your sending, but send it at
once,” and if you have not got one, you had
better, lit the classic language of Ferguson, “git
up and git it at oucc.”
* ’ ' '
Tiie New Court House. —The enterprising
contractors, Messrs. Bain & Israel, we arc pleas
ed to say, arc pusbiug ou the work of re-build
ing the Court House to a speedy completion.—
It is already under roof, and fully protected
from the weather—the iron doors and shutters
are on, and the interior is realty for plastering.
In the course of five or six weeks the whole will
be ready for the occupation of the courts aud
county officials,

A. Bedlam, Jr,, our, Sacramento agent, will
accept our thanks for San Francisco and Sacra
mento papers.
Ttir Population of !*ev««U» Comity.
The vote in the reecnt electiou, places our
county amongst the foremost in the btate in
population. It will be seen by reference to the
Presidential vote, that the aggregate white male
population over 21 years of age entitled to tote
is 7,302. To this, it would be safe to add 2000
for those not naturalized, and others entiled to
vote who did not choose to go to the polls.—
For instance, of those entitled to vote who d.d
nOt on the day of election, we know a large
community of Portuguese and Spaniards mining
on Poor Man’s creek, within six miles of Wash
ington. Some of these men were made citizens
at the late term of the District Court, yet we
have been told that not one of them exercised
the right of suffrage. This would give us an
able bodied white male population over 21 years
of age. of 9,302.
Add to this 1,500 Chinamen working in large
companies along the bed of the Yubas and oth
er streams, and engaged in other pursuits, and
we have a male population over 21 years, of 10,-
802. If we suppose that the rest of the popula
tion of the county, including women, children,
persons of color and all others, only equal in
number to the actual voting population as
above given, the total population must be, not
much under 20.000.
Children hi Ncvndn Towmlilp.
From a census just taken by U. S. Gregory,
School marshal, we learn that the number of
white children, over four and under eighteen
years of age in this Township, is 300—of which,
151 are males, and 119 are females. This is
the whole number for which we arc entitled to
draw upon the common School fund. It affords
however, a very inadequate idea of the whole
number of children in the Township. An amaz
ing Dumber having made their appearance on
this “mundane sphere” within the last four
years. Though angels in all else, they are not
like angels in this, they come neither “few nor
far between.”
Tub Nkxt News.—' The Panama mail steamer
with new* from New York to Octolier 20th, may
lie expected the latter part of tiiis week. Tlie
news will be looked for with unusual interest,
as State elections were held in Pennsylvania,
Ohio and Indiana, on the 14th, and the vote in
these States will, to a great extent, foreshadow
the final result of the Presidential contest. If
the Democrats have carried Pennsylvania, the
election of Mr. Buchanan may be set down as
certain, but if the State has been carried by the
Republicans, together with Ohio and Iudiaiiu,
the election of Fremont, although highly prob
able, will by no means lie considered certain. —
The Democrats of New York were united, while
the opposition were divided between Fillmore
and Fremont, and if the friends of Fillmore con
tinued in the field up to the day of election, it
is more than probable that the electoral vote ol j
that State will go for Buchanan.
Benefit ok the Mountaineer Fike Co.—Ou
last Thursday evening we hud the pleasure of
witnessing the lirst turn out of this company,
numliering some 31) or 40 members handsomely
uniformed. In the course of their march they
faced our office and saluted us with three rous
ing cheers, a compliment we appreciate and ac
knowledge. We attended at a late hour the
reading at Temperance Hull and were delighted
at the agreeable exercises. The reading by II.
J. M'Kinley of an original poem suggested by
the recent lire in Nevada, and selections from
the dramatists and poets, were given with ex
cellent taste, eliciting repeated applause. Mr.
M’Kinley is a man of enviable attainments as a
render, and ou this occasion well sustained the
reputation be has earned in this line at the State
Capitol. The entertainment was well attended
ou the part of our citizens generally who ex
pressed themselves much pleased.
Tiik Sheriff's Office.—Uu Hic death of tlie
late Sheriff of thin couuty, the Coroner Mr. John
Grimes became Sheriff by operation of luw and
has been acting in that capacity since Wednes
day the Clh. On Monday last the Board of Su
pervisors met and, after hearing an argument
on behalf of the Deputies of the late Sheriff from
J. It. McConnell, Esq., and on behalf of Mr.
Grimes from Judge Buckner nml Francis J.
Dunn, Esq., they appointed Mr. Wm. Butterfield,
one of the Deputies of Sheriff Wright, us Sheriff
for the unexpired term which closes on the 2(ith
of May next. Tho appointment of this gentle
man, although a very worthy man, has given
much dissatisfaction, as it was thought the con
d.tiou in which the office has been left, required
such u change in the control of it, as to secure
the interests of the county as well as litigants
liuviug monies in the hands of the Sheriff. Mr.
Butterfield not having given Hie bonds required
by law Mr. Grimes claims to bold tho office un
til bis successor shall duly qualify. We under
stand lie claims also to bold until the represent
atives of the late Sheriff' shall settle the ac
counts of the office fully. Acting upon this view
of his rights Mr. Grimes with others weut on
Monday afternoon for the purpose of removing
the desk, books, papers, Ac. tielonging to the of
fice, when they were resisted by Mr. A. A. Sar
gent and C. F. Wood. The property was how
ever removed and remains in possession of Mr.
Grimes, until the question is disposed of by legal
proceedings.
Fob the Atlantic States.— Tho now and
splendid steamship Orizaba will leave Washing
ton Stsoet Wharf, San Francisco, on the 20th
inst., with passengers and independent mails for
the Atlantic States, via Nicaragua. Passengers
by this steamer will doubtless arrive iu New
York several days in advance of those goiug by
way of Paunma.

Episcopal Church, will preach this (Wednesday)
evening, at 7 o clock P. M., at Temporuuce

The Mountaineer Fire Company.
Wr desire to speak ti word of encouragement
to the members of this company who have re
cently been formed in our city, and whose or
ganization promises to be of a highly useful
character. Our experience is so recent of the
appalling dangers to which we arc exposed from
Are, that it can scarcely be necessary for us to
say anythiug to our citizens in behalf of an or
ganization the object of which is so commenda
ble. We remember to have read in the life ol
that practical philosopher Benjamin Franklin
that when he first went to the city of Philadel
phia now a century and a quarter ago, the cry
of fire filled all hearts with consternation.—
There was then no such thing in existence as an
organization for protection against fire, and
when that element broke out, it swept over the
Quaker city with fearful and unrestrained vio
lence. Amongst the earliest of his philanthrop
ic triumphs was that of suggesting and forming
the first fire company in that city, aud his re
ward was the consciousness that he had done
something for the benefit of the community.—
lie says himself that after an absence of a few
years he returned to that city, aud instead of
beholding men, women and children at the alarm
of fire flying in terror through the streets leav
ing their homes to the devouring flames, he saw
well disc’plined bunds of men In companies,
| rushing to the scene of conflagration, and with
their apparatus and appliances successfully bat
tling against them. We know what men equipp
ed and disciplined are able to accomplish else
where against the dread enemy of our homes,
and we trust to see our citizens generously
stretch forth the hand of encouragement to
! those who are willing to exert themselves here
| for so useful a purpose. We say to the Mouu
’ taincers go on in your enterprize, and while we
| pray that there may b s no bccasion for your
| services, in the hour of danger be your motto
| “we strive to save,’’
Death of SlurUr W. W. AVright ami David
John non.
While engaged in working off the last issue
of our paper we were called upon to pause,
briefly to record the calamity wlrcli had just
transpired iu the death of the Sheriff of this
county and one of his deputies. The circum
stances have already been given to the world
with sufficient acuracy and have filled the com
munity with a heartfelt sorrowfor the untimely
end of those who have fallen while engaged in
the discharge of official duties. Just at the
hour of the occurrence, upon the eve of the
Presidential election, while an immense pro
procession of our political friends were passing
through our streets with exultation upon their
lips, the fearful news was told and Hew from
mouth to mouth quelling and subdueing all oth
er thoughts. Upon reaching the stand, with u
common impulse every man threw his torch in
to the street, and the gentleman who was to
have addressed the assemblage, with a proper
delicucy, capie forward and after announcing
the sad event, proposed an adjournment, which
met with a quiet response from every heart.
We had known W. W. Wright during Ulv'tiino
lie held the office of Sheriff, and in all plaoes
and at all times we found in him a courteous
gentleman whose kind and generous nature won
for him in return the kind regards of men of all
parties and conditious. I11 his life he hud en
deared himself to a wide circle of friends, and
has been followed by the universal sympathy to
the grave.
Of his deputy David Johnson we can speak
with a more than ordinary feeling of esteem,
for we knew him as a warm and sincere friend.
In the pride of his manhood ho has fallen, per
forming Ids duty with that unflinching cournge
which distinguished him throughout his life.—
lie had recently held the position of City Mar
shal, and how well he did his duty in that capa
city, we ail beheld with admiration. Although
u man of genial temper and most kind disposi
tion, yet he was a brave and bold man who lov
td the excitement incident to danger, with a
passion which often led his friends to indulge
the worst apprehensions of his fate, and al
though always cool and collected, his rashness
consisted in the contident manner with which he
met the occasion without calculating the peril
to himself. He was indeed a true man, and will
long be remembered in the community where
his many good qualities are appreciated, and
where attached friends still survive to bear the
memory of his noble and goucrous nature.
What doks it Mean? — Another Escape. —It
has only been one week since the Kheritf of the
County and his Deputy, lost their lives In the
attempt to recapture two prisoners who lmd es
caped a second time, in a most mysterious man
ner from the County jail. Another prisoner
named Hargraves, under sentence of ten years
to the Stale prison, for killiug a man near Sun
Juan, it was discovered ou Monday night, had
made his escape by breaking through the wall
into a cell avoiding the one in which he was
confined, and which was not locked. IVc learn
from Mr. Grimes, that since he took possession
of the office of Sheriff, he has continued
the Deputies of Sheriff Wright, one of whom has
hud charge of the keys of the jail to the present
time. When we consider the enormous taxes
paid by the people of this county for the sup
port of officials, and for erecting expensive
Court houses and prisons, is it to be wondered
at, that they have been eager for a change of
those who are to administer our county affairs.
It is a crying shame that after the repeated ad
monitions which our officials have had. that
these things are repeated without producing the
slightest effect in bringing nbout a greater de
gree of vigilance.
Amendment to the Constiti tiox.— According
to the returns in the Clerk’s office, the vote on
the amendment to the constitution in this coun
ty stands, Tor the amendment 1,368; against the
amendment 277. The tickets of the three par
ties had printed on them the words “for the pro
posed amendment to the but it
appears that the Inspectors and Judges only re
turned such as had the words “yes” or “no”
written upon the tickets. Upon no other sup
position can we account for the small vote in
the affirmative.
State Paters.— J. IV. Sullivan, of the News
Depot, near the Post Office, Saa F-ancisco, for
warded us as usual regular files of Atlantic pa
pers, pictorials, magazines, Ac. We again re
turn him our thauks.
The proprietor of the Noisy Carriers Hall,
San Francisco, has also our thanks for a full Hie
of the New York Daily Tribune, Citizen, Irish
News, and the standard magazines.
Political Trickery—Another Secret Circular.
The following “Circular’ wan distributed in
large numbers in certain localities of the State
just on the eve of the election. As the Repub
licans repudiate the document we are forced to
believe that it was got up by Know Nothi -gsin
order to induce Republicans to vote for Fill
more. It is a curious document of its kind, and
doubiles had Some effect in lessening the vote
of Fremont and increasing that for Fillmore.
[ontcti-AR,]
San Francisco. Oct. 24th, 1856.
Jb the RepuUkaru of the State qf California :
Fkliajw CiTizKNSi —We ure now upon the eve
of a mighty struggle for Liberty ! Thousands
of our tellow beings, writhing under the lash of
Southern tyrants, cry to us lor help! Shall we
stretch for'h our mighty arm to their a.d? We
will I Shall we, as patriots, as freemen, stand
longer idle ? No!
In view of the mighty interests involved in
the coining election, I desire to make you aware
of the following facts : As a matter of policy
the Republican parly are desirous of carrying
this State for Fillmore, which will weakeu the
Democratic vote without injuring our prospects.
We have no hojes of carrying California, and
we must use every endeavor to defeat Ruelian
an, as he is our only opponent. Mr. Fillmore is
a mere Wlll-o’-the-Wisp, from whom we have
nothing to fear. From the most authentic in
formation received from the east, Hie American
party will not carry a single State; consequent
ly our light is with the I teinocrats. Tin refore
it is the duty of every Republican to vote for
Fillmore; let him carry this State, ai.dyou elect
our candidate, Mr. Fremont.
Again, should you have any conscientious
scruples about voting for Mr. Fillmore, the fol
lowing facts will put tin ni at rest: .Mr. Fillmore
is as sound on the Republican doctrine as Mr.
Fremont, and in order to prove it to you 1 will
cite Ilia letter dated, Hutlulo. Oct. 17lh, 1858, in
which he says he does believe petitions to Con
gress, on the subject of'slavery, and the slave
trade should be received; that he was not in fa
vor of the annexation of Texas, under any cir
cumstances, so long as slaves are held therein.
That be is in favor of Congress exercising all
its powers in abolishing the slave trade between
the States, and lastly, lie is in favor of the imme
diate abolition of slavery in the Jtistrid qf Columbia.
If more is required to prove Mr. Fillmore to
be a friend to our cause, examine the following:
On the 21st of January. 1842, Mr. Adams
presented a petition, praying the naturalization
of free negro foreigners, and that they be allow
ed to hold real estate. Mr. Wise moved to lay
the reception of the petition on the table. Mr.
Fillmore voted in the negative—with the north
ern philanthropists and against southern op
pressors.
Now, when it is liorno in mind that Mr. Fill
more in his letter to Mr. Dibble and others,
remarks that his former nets will lie typ'cal of
his future course, and in view of the record here
presented, I am sure you will accede to the re
quest.
Use every exertion to enable our friends to
be in possession of this circular before the day
of election. The issuing of it is a secret, and
must be kept inviolate from the I)t mocrats.
Yours, T. W. PARK,
President State Central Committee.
Vote of tlic State,
We give below tlie vote of the State as far as
heard from. So far Buchanan lias 13,257 votes
more than Fillmore, and the returns yet to come
in will increase this majority. It is altogether
probable that the Democrats will have a larger
vote than both the other parties,

V<H N« Mkn'h Democratic* Cmb.—The follow-!
ing, which we copy from the State Journal of
Monday, will meet with a response in the heart
of every true Democrat in the State :
Although Buchanan's majority in San Fran-'
cisco was small in point of numbers, yet when
we reflect nj»oii the thousand and one difficulties i
with which the Democratic party was beset, we !
must admit that the victory there was tuore sig-!
lftil and more decisive than that achieved in any
other county in the State, and Unit, in u very !
great measure, the success must be ascribed to
the admirable disc'plnte and extraordinary ex
ertions on Tuesday lust of the much and unjust
ly abused Young Men's Democratic Club. Kv
t ry man was a Leonidas,and di serves the united
thanks of the California Democracy.
Let the corrupt and mercenary independent
press, with which the city of Sail Francisco is
cursed, howl on, and, to grat.fy the fanatical
appetite of nigger worshippers anil outlaws.,
pour out the vials of their wrath upon that gal
lant band of Democrats. No harm can lie done.
The great imterrilii d Democracy-judge of in-n
by their works, and they honor those who stood
so nobly and unwaveringly by Buchanan and
tlie Union at the election on Tuesday lust.
SiKUHLAH Cask or Somnammi.ism. —The True
Californian of Friday contains the following re
port of a case of somnambulism :
On Tucsduy morning about 1 o'clock, a cou
ple of gentlemen passing the Oriental Hotel,
met a man stripped to his shirt, with h ; s boots
in one hand and his clothes in a bundle mnl r
bis arm. They ueeu-Ld the stranger, and a ked
Inin where he was going. Not r oeiviug any
answer, they took hold of and shook him, when
the man woke up, and d. clan d that lie had left
home while in a state of somnambulism, and
that lie d d nut know w here lie was, or w here he
was going, In a little time he recovered his
senses, ui.d w as taken to a room w here lie dress
ed himself and started for home.
CorXTEKKKIT ExGMSH SOVEREIGNS. Tilt' Silll
Francisco Herald ofFriday says:
We saw yesterday a counterfeit English sov
ereign well calculated to deceive. The metal is
light, but the size ami workmanship are good
imitations of the genuine. Ou one side is tile
Queen's protile and on the reverse the usual tig
ure of St. George overcoming the Dragon. The
dates however vary, as d tfere.it years appear
ou each side. There may he an attempt to pass
some of this bogus coin, and it behooves c.tucens
to keep a bright look out.
Later from Carso.v Vai.i.ky.— We find the
following intelligence in the i’iacerville Ameri
can of Saturday, Nov. 8th :
Mr. Raymond, who arrived from Carson Val
ley ou last Tuesday evening, brought the infor
mation of the people—that port.on of them
known as the Gentiles, in contradistinction to
the Mormons—having formed themselves into a
Vigilance Committee, for the purpose of redres
sing some wrongs committed by the Mormons,
and for keeping them under restraint. They
had jump d or taken possession of a ranch of
Mr. John Cary, but the Vigilance Comm.ttee
gave notice to those w ho were in possession, to
leave within twelve days, which they d d, and
the runch was restored to Mr. Cary, the rightful
owner.
Mr. Raymond reported that a few days before
he left the valley, they had had three or four
inches of snow, but that when he left, it had all
disappear, d. lie report! d the road clear of
snow, and in as good order as usual. The wea
ther in the valley, previous to his leaving, was
cold and boisterous. The health of the people
was as good as usual, and that is robust.
