Under such a law the negro is ~ State to its position in the Union. ‘self unconstitutional, and without binding NEVADA CITY. @ffice---Cotner of Broad and Pine Streets. — FRIDAY, MARCH 9th, 1866. ARE THEY EMANCiIPATED.—It is asserted.on all sides that the South has accepted the abvlition of slavery asa fact, and ac. quiesced in the Amendment to the Constitution. In form many of the -rebel States have dove so, but occasionally utterances come to us which demonstrate the hypocriay of the rebel leaders and show that they “aecept the situation” for the parpuse of force of arms. Ina recent letter to Gen: Fisk, of the Freedmen’s Bureau, Yancy of ner Woman in thé whole. South recognizes the negro as a freedman, but as stolen property forced by the bayonets of the damnable United States Government.’ This is no douht toa great extent true-The “game spiritis manifested in the legislation of these States upen—questions concerning passed, compelling negroes to serve one man for an entire year or forfeit wages up to the time of quitting. “A negro who leaves his-employer may be arrestéd.and returned to;him. “The poor black may appeal toa Justice of the Peace, but during the investigation the law places him at the mercy. of his employer. The lash may be laid upon him to enforce subordination, the master being .of course the judge of the necessity for punishment. The whole police force of the State is to hunt him downif he leaves his place, and when found he is to he remanded to servitude. If ‘‘any person give negro or mulatto, any fuod, raiment or other thing,” jhe is to be fined and in default of payment immediately imprisoned, and be liable also for damages to the employer of just ns much a slave as ever. There is not a single provision for the protection of his rights. Itis not all surprising that freedamen do not work, when a contract made with a white man places them in such a position. With such a jaw_as this, President Johnson wants to admit the Mississip. pi delegatign inte Congress aud restore that What guarantees has the National Government that such States will not repeal the Constitu“tional Amendment as soon as they are restored, on the plea that it was forced upon them as Yancy states? The reasons upon which rebel States will base their action are these: By the Constitution of the United States the President has no power to Vegislate either for the Federal or State Government. If he has no power to legiss late, he has no power to dictate and enforce legislation; and these peints established, whatever he he has done or caused by mili» lary force or threat-to be done in the matter of chunging State Constitutions, is iteffect. Seward based his proclamation abolishing slavery upon the endorsement of several Southern States, and if they repudiate and Johnson should succeed in placing the Government in the hands of rebels and copperheads, who can tell whether the Constitus tienal Amendment will be respected? The policy of the President is enviruned by a thousand dangers. He is pursuing a course which is bound te resurrect slavery aod make it as dangerous to the nation as ever. The only safe course to pursue is tu stand by Congress in the work which it bas undertakén. Let the nation carry out the policy proposed in Johnson's speech of ac. eeptance and deprive traitors from all partidipation in political matters until they have done works of repentance. Let all guarantees be secured by amendments to the ‘National Constitution, and let those amendments be ratified by States in regard to the position of which, in the future there ign question. By such a course emanci: pation will become forever settled and the spirit of tréasen and slavery will be utterly crushed, io Fossits*In AusTKALia.—A petrified tree was recently found in. the Golden Horn claim, near Geelong, in Australia, at a depth ot 258 feet.

Several parties have volunteered for: thasoceasion and our citizens may expect a big thing. THe WoKK GOES BRAVELY ON.—The revival in the Methodist Church, in this city, has been progressing with vigor for several weeks ; on Tuesday night last, some twelve communicants were accepted, and +etill the work goes bravely un.” Bap _Acciwen?t.—We learn from the National that Nicolas Martin met with asevere accident in the Eureka mine, on Thursday morning, at 8 o'clock by falling from a pile of rocks, supported upon timbers. He fell a distance of about twelve feet, and a huge rock came upon him, crushing the region of the kidneys and bowels. Medical assistance was at once sent for. It is thought that the powerful constitution of the patient will take him through. Martin is at the Wisconsin Hotel, where he is receiving the very best attention. > FREE AMERICAN.—We have received the first number of this paper, published by George C. Gerham in San Francisé¢o. It is proposed to devote the paper exclusively to the reconstruction of the rebel States, and to sustain the position taken by Congress. The Free American is intended for gratuitous circulation. The publisher solicits aid from Union men pledging that every dollar shall be applied to the printing of the paper without charge for his own services, or any’ other purpose. The first number of the paper has sixteen columns of excellent reading matter. This enterprise deserves the aid of all loyal citizens. al PRISONERS.—At present ten prisoners are confined in the county jail. ‘I'wo are under indictments. awaiting trial, and the rest are serving out termsof imprisonment for petty offences.

SECRETARY Seward mockingly charges that Congress, which body contains a score of gallant Union Generals, 1s dissatisfied with the anarchy in the Southern States which he is pleased to term a “peace,” because that department had no instrumentality in ending the war. Such an insult to the representatives of the people, who did end the war, comes with a bad grace from the leader of the corrupt faction in New York, which, in 1862, in the midet of civil war, contributed to the election of Horatio Seymour—a man who truly addressed the anti-draft rioters in New York City as his friends—to the Governorship of the great central Empire State. The.noble hero who was defeated in that memorable campaign —General Wadeworth—did help end the war, and gave up his life onthe battle-field of the Wilderness. The thousands in New York who mourn his fate. will not aid the Seeretary in exalting those by whose hands he fell. <i, Poor Littite QUEEN.—Queen Emma, of the Sandwich Islands, now on a visit to England is said to be suffering in bodily health from the tax imposed upon her by the English publie in almost compelling her to travel from place to place to satisfy the natural curiosity to see her. _ Her medical advisers have beeo compelled to positively forbid her any further appearance in public until she has had time to recuperate. i THE Pajaro Times says that the Kreat lost silver mine of Monterey has been discover. ed.
