W. Starr. Thb Center Block. It bas been proposed that an arrangement be made, by which the lots in tbe "Center Block, upon which tbe bouses were destroyed, be now vacated, the cellars filled up, and tbe space devoted to a public plaza. If this could be accomplished at a reasonable cost, it would be desirable.

We are assured that those lot owners can obtain other locations on the west side of the burnt district on very rersonable terms. EASTERN HEWS. Tbe war Dews this week amounts to nothing, eit-ept details of skirmishes Ibat have do significance. Several of these skin niishes are represented as terrific encounters, in which nobody was hurt. Hie account that Hooker bad driven the rebels from Lookout Mountain, near Chattanooga, turns out to be incorrect.

lie drove them from position near the town, in Lookout Valley, but they bold their firmer commanding position on the mountain. Cavalry operations appear to be carried on by both sides on an extensive scale, in Middle and West Tennessee. Gen. Sherman has advanced with a column of Federal troops, from Memphis as far east as Tusi cumbia, Alabama, to support Grant at Chat, tanooga, but the rebels with a strong force are disputing his progress. The news from that quarter is brief and indefinite.

Ou the "Potomac "all is quiet." Uecon-noisances by both sides seems to be the order. Tbe Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia Ledger, undertakes to say that it is positively asserted that Meade bas imperative orders to bring on a battle, and if he fails so to do, that he will be immediately superseded. This is a doubtful slopy. Gilmore has been bombarding Fort Sumter again, where it was supposed the rebels were erect ing sand batteries. The rebel Gen.

Marmadtike, attacked Pine Fluff, Arkansas, in force, but was effectually repulsed. The rebel papers claim that the late raid made by Forest, in the rear nf Rosei-ran's army, was very successful. That he captured, 1,100 horses, 3,500 mules, and a large number of wagons, -and thirty days rations for the entire Federal army; and destroyed thirty nine miles of two different railroads. The President has reuognized M. F.

Rodriguez as Mexican Consul at San Fraui cisco thus ignoring the Government set up by France, in Mexico. To Bb Reconstructed Although the late disastrous fire has given a dreary and waste appearance to the central portion of Auburn, it is not io to remain for any length of time. George Keehner will immediately rebuild his Bakery and dwelling adjoining t'je "American." Stanton will lose no time in erecting a Livery Stable at the old stand. Mr. bullock has it in coutemplation to build a new "Empire Hotel." Dodsworth butchers, and Welo1, bootmaker, will rebuild upon their lots in the center block, and have a portion of the lumber upon the ground for that purpose.

James Nolan will also put up one or two bouses, this fall. There are other lots that may be built upon before the new year if negotiations for purchase or exchange can be effected. The fire, although a heavy affliction, bas not discouraged tbe sufferers, who, generally, will soon cover their lots with new and substantial structures. A Hew loaning Eegion. A new aud extraordinary rub naming region bas lately been found this side of the Reeee River miues.

This region lies between tbe rSjad leading to the llumboldt mines and that going to Reese River. Put little is yet known of the country, except that it abounds in quartz, much of which is exceedingly rich in silver. The ores, so far as they bat been examined, resemble those of Reese River, but tbe lodes are very much wider one being over hundred feet in width. As we said above, little is known of this new mining locality, but if tbe balf we have beard ot it is true, it will throw tbe Reese River mines in tbe shade, if not totally eclipse them. What little information we bave nf tbe new district, we obtained of a friend who, with a party of fjve men, was just taking bis departure, with a full camp rig, for the interesting locality.

The friend bas been in the Territory ever since the CoiustoL-k was a week old, and knows the difference between silver ore and pipe clay, lie showed us an assay from a lead, which as yet bas no name, yielding as follows; Silver, 2.552; gold, $100 45; total. 2.655 45 per ton. This lead is a very large one and may be traced to a great distance. As yet there are but eight or ten men in the district. Wood the scrub pine common to the Territoryis found in the vicinity of the mines.

W'ater is not so plenty; but there are several canons that aifotd tinall rills. The mines are described in an unfrequented mountain region, IviiiL' rather out of the beaten track of both theSlIuinboldt and Reese River prospectors. The ores assayed here were brought in by a gentleman from Reese River, who happened to leave the road and make a detour of exploration when coming home. Territorial Enterprise. Matteks Towakd Reesb River.

Tbe Virginia Enterprise of November 4tb says: Hay is very high and scarce in the Reese River settlements, and on the road between this city and Austin it is almost impossible to obtain hay at any price. From 8350 to $400 per ton is the price asked where any can be found for sale. A gentleman who arrived in this city yesterdy, from Austin, says thai it cost him 851 for bay for four animals (hiring a stay of six days in the latter place. Barley sells at thirty cents per pound at the stations on the road. The gentleman referred to above, in one day counted 196 teams going toward Reese River with goods.

He thinks that he met equally as many every day on his trip home, but he only took the pains to count, theih on this one day. Provisions of all kinds, he says are plenty in Austin, The cold weather is scaring people back to the older settlements of the Territory. A Provost Marshal of Missouri, by the name of Strachan, has been a first class villain and seems likely now to receive his reward, lie embezzled 130,000 from the Government, and instigated an order by which ten men, who were charged with no crime, were to be shot. One of the men he released, after bis wife bad paid him 500, and hhd been compelled to submit to his lusts. He is now before a court martial on the charge of embezzlement, and will Soon be tried for his fiendish outrage num hm inanity and virtue.

Mercy will be out of place in such a case. Republican paper. The ten men who were shot at the instiga. tion of Strachan, were tbe same who were shot upon the order of (ien. McNeil, at Pal myra, Missouri, last winter.

How Maximilian will Take it. A foreign correspondent of the New York Times, says: This week the. Mexican Committee visit tbe Grand Duke Maximilian to offer him Jhe throne of Mexico. The programme is this: the Grand Duku will publicly accept the proffered place, but will privately add certain conditions which at present seem to most people difficult of realization. Then, there will be a certain lapse of time ostensibly devoted to the.orgauization of tbe country, but in fact devoted to an observation of events in the United States, at the end of which the Grand Duke will declare the necessary conditions fulfilled or uot, according as affairs stand in the United States.

The French Government, people, the Secessionists, and the French Mexicans affect lo sneer at the idea that the Mexican policy of the French Government is in any way influenced by events in the United States; but there is good reason for saying that there is nothing else which 'does influence that policy but the progress of the war in the United Slates absolutely nothing; and when the rebellion is finally put down, France will desire and ask to treat with the United States on tbe subject of Mexico'in the most amicable terms, and with the most amicable disposition to some to terms. AUBUEN. NOVEMBER 7, 1863. EASTKUV KLKCTIOXsj. Elections have been held this week in New Vork, New Jersey, Illinois, Wisconsin, Maryland and Delaware, and so far as heard from have gone for the Administration; at has been anticipated l.y men of every shade of opinion in this Slate.

In Xew York the latest returns show an Administration majority of 33,750. Tbe Senate stauds 21 Administration, lu 11 Demi ocrats. The Uouse 63 Administration, and 40 In Illinois only county tickets were elec-ed. Administration gains are claimed. The returns indicate the election of Lewis, Administration candidate for Governor of Wisconsin, by 15,000 majority; and gain in i he Legislature.

Tbe contest in Maryland, seems to hate been for and against Emancipation both aides, (according to our understanding of tbe contest) claiming to be War or Admioistrai tion parties. Henry Winter Davis, Francis Thomas, and Holland, Emancipotionists.and J. W. Crisfield, Anti-Emancipationist, are elected tc Congress. Two districts to be heard from.

Goldsboro, Emancipationist is elected State Comptroller, by a large majority. Tbe State is aid to have dec-tared for emancipation by a decided majority. It is to be understood, however, that every man who does not endorse the Administration is prohibited a vote. New Jersey seldom fails to go Anti Abolition, but thete is nothing to indicate bow the State has gone. Kansas has gone Jim Lane-ward of course.

Ackowledomekt. We are indebted to Win. Smith, Deputy County Clerk, for a synopsis of tbe District Court proceedings Nevada Constitutional Convention. Tbe Constitutional Convention in Nevada Territory, met in Carson City, on Tuesday. Judge J.

W. North, was elected Presieent, and Wm. Gillespie, Vice President. The different standing committees bave been appointed. Tbe Committee on the liame of the new State, have three before tbem, viz: Humboldt, Esmeralda and Washoe; but it is thought a majority of the members of the Convention are in favor of the present name Nevada.

Wont Pay for Sacramento. The financial reputation of Sacramento county does not stand very high we imagine, as our Board of Supervisors, on Wednesday, passed an on der on Wednesday forbidding our County Treasurer to pay cash on any order from the District Judge for payment of witnesses in tbe case of the People vs. Carkhuff transferred from Sacramento county, and now pending in our District Court. We understand that a similar was pursued in Sacramento several year ago in reference to a case transferred from this Countv. BSyThe dry weather holds unusually late.

The skies bave been clouded several days this week, but only an aggravating sprinkle rei suited. The nights and mornings continue clear and cold, and rather agreeable, but it is generally objected that dusty roads and a wintry atmosphere, are hardly reconcilable arrangements. A drenching shower woukl be welcome. Rrfprr to SruscKiuE. The Board of Supervisors of San Francisco have refused to pass to print an order authorizing the city subscription of $000,000 to the stock of Central Pacific Railroad, as voted for by the people of that city last summer.

The other day in San Francisco, Mrs. Harriet Kalishor obtained a divorce from her husband Simon Kalisher, on account of extreme cruelly, which tbe said Simon had used toward his wife for a number of years.

Shortly after the divorce was granted by tbe Court, Simon sought the presence of bis wife that was, and after talking over their old troubles, and be promising thorough reformation, they again plighted the faith, procured a license, and in just three hours and forty minutes after their divorce they were again united in the bonds of matrimony.

Nov. 1st, 1863. Im MINERS KIEKTIKO OPR BEAR RIVB DISTRICT NOTICE Is hereby given, to all poraone bpW-Ing claims, for the worklngof Copper- Go nnd Silver In Bear River Dlstelot. Grass vsuej Township, Nevada county, California, in Ing of the miners of the District will be bW the honse of David Johnson, In snld District on Saturday, November 14th, 1863, at tbe Jour li o'clock, for the purpose of laws of said District, and the election of a Dirt'1" Recorder for the ensuing year. All ewm ol ers are requested to be present.

MiKss or Bkab Rim OisTWtT-Novembor 7th, San Francisco papers are begin" ning to make some rather developments, in reference to mining operations in Neva la Territory. The Bulletin instances the Santiago Company as one in which such substantial and careful men as the Barrons, Pioche Peacher, and others were most unmercifully "sailed." Hundreds of tons of rock were crushed and represented to yield $40 per ton, at which figures handi some, profits could be realized. But finally' some pertinacious fellows in the Company insisted that a quantity of the rock should he crushed at the mill of the Mexican Com pany when lo! it yielded but $13 per ton, when the cost of crushing was $25 per ton. A large size rat was found to be in the meal. The former flattering returns, had caused the stock holders to pay, with indifference, heavy assessments for tbe erection of buildings, sinking shafts, runing tunnels until the works of the Company really made quite a respectable village in size.

But the Mexi can mill test was a.darapner, and rumor has it that some of the solid men of San Francisco are out of pocket over 300,000. The bubble is being pricked. Tub People vs. Gaunt. The Supreme Court has sustained the action of the District Court in the above entitled cause, carried up from this county.

It will be recollected that the jury returned a verdict of man slaughter againt the defendant, and the Court passed a sentence of imprisonment of four years. Air, (jaunt, wlio hail been released upon bail, upon hearing the decision of the Supreme Court, immediately reported himself to Sheriff Gooding as his prisoner. Tus Carkuff Case. The case of the People vs. Carkuff, tran-ferred from Sacramento to Auburn, for trial, commenced on Wednesday afternoon, and was continued through Thursday and Friday in the examination of witnesses.

Tbe evidence was closed last evening upon the adjournment of the Court. The argument of counsel will be heard this morning. District Attorneys Upton, of Sacramento, nnd Hamilton, of TlRcer, conduct the case on the part of the State, nnd Messrs. Tutlle is Fellows for tbe Defendant. JC-y Horace Smith has so far recovered from the wound he lately received at Vir ginia, at the hands of Capt.

Johnson, as lo be considered out of danger. Casal Imphovkment. The Xew York Stato jioarn, oi aciing niuit-r Hie order of the Legislature, are inakinir surveys and estimates for enlarging the locks nf the Erie Canal, so that they can pass vessels 223 feet long, and 20 feet wide. This, it is thought, will open canal navigation to vessels of 600 tons burden, nnd allow iron clan gun boats to co from the Hudson to the lakes. and t-tVe versa.

Application was made to Congress last winter to aid in this work, as an offensive and defensive measure in case of war with England. Chickamauga, the little stream near Chat anooga, where 30,000 or more Americans were slaughtered or wounded in the recent struggle between the armies of Kosecians and Bragg, derives its name from a Cherokee Indian word, "Chicamauga," meaning "Hiver ot neatn." The San rancisco Bulletin's correspon dent says that the Government draft for 800,000 men will not produce more than 50,000 soldiers at the outside, and Hint each one of these conscripts or substitutes will cost twice tbe sun necessary lo procure a volunteer, Lloyd Maokudek Murdered. Lloyd Masruder, formerly a prominent citizen of Marysville; where for a time he was a partner in the Express newspaper, and also a member of the Assembly for the county of Yuba, was recently murdered in Idaho Ten ritory, as well as his partner Charles Allen, while traveling from Lewiston from Beaver Creek. It is supposed tlioy were murdered while camped for the night, and robbed of $12,000, money they had realized from the sale of goods they had taken into the mines. The murderers made their way from Port' land, Oregon, and from thence to San Frani cisco by steamer.

In the meanwhile. Hill Beachey, the Sheriff at Lewiston, was on their track, and traveling to Yreka, telegraphed to San Francisco, to have the men arrested. Tbe San Francisco detectives look up the matter promptly and after a vigilant search for some days, finally arrested four men, named William Tage, Chris, Lowery. James Romaine and Daniel IIow ard. A writ of habeas corpus was taken out, and an argument was bad before Judge Reynolds.

The counsel for the prisoners contended that the Governor of a Territory could not make a recognition upon the Governor of a State for fugitive criminals. The matter was held under advisement, but there are strong probabilities that the pris oners will go back to Idaho, there to meet their just deserts. Sinews of War. Those who pay most money are said to be the greatest supporters to the Government in the present trying times.
