sil ADL cin UH nai inn ny sian 4 EY eae ogee cieeanmnemadammanaen’ TuE OPppostTion To THE AMENDMENTS. "The.opposition. to. .the.Constitational . Amendments is not of. recent origin. + It originated’ with President nson and the copperhead party. Johnson, notwithstanding the fact that the Amendments were not submitted to him,c*mmunicated a message, in which he stated his .objections'to them, and declared that tlie action of the Secretary of State was “purely ministerial and. in no sense whatever committed the Executive to’ an approval or a recommendation of the Amendmenté to the State Legislatures or the people. ” The Philadelphia Doolittle Convention made the same objection to these Amendments as Jolinson does to the. loyal Congress. Notwithstanding the “opposition from. these.sources, all the States where elections have yet been held have indorged ‘the Amendments, so far as the , peoplé’ are capable of doing so, and im sevéral they have already been. ratified by. the Legislatures. No Amendment was ever so readily accepted by the people.— Notwithstanding these facts, that class of politicians who are ready to grasp at every @traw, are now declaring that. because _ Governor Orr of South Carolina don’t like “the Amendments, the next Congress will probably modify them, Who is Governor Orr that Congress should change its policy in order to please him, after that policy has been 80 healttily indorsed by the people? \ Heis said to be a conservative by the Johnson men. So was Alexander Stephens a conservative, and so are all traitors conservatives of the Johnson stripe to-day.— This mah Orr believes in South Carolina traitors having three times as much inflaence in the Congress as one loyal voter in Massachusetts. . The Amendments would make every voter equal. Orr holds that men guilty of perjury and treason should go unpunished, but the Amendments provide thiat those who violated thelr oath to support the ‘Constitution and took up arms, shall not hold éffieé unléaw such disability id removed by. a vote of two-thirds of both houses of Congress. This South Carolina rebel, who walked into the Johnson Convention arm-in-arni ‘with ‘a Massachusetts copperheads, is in fayor of the United States government. paying the rebel debt. The'proposed Amendments declare that it shall. never be. paid. This is what is dalled conservatism. The opposition of Orr to the Amendments is of rio more moment than the opposition of Jeff. Davis or Johnson. They are necessary to the futire peace and ‘safety of the nation, and without gach an Amendment as. is proposed in regard to representation, a premium Will be paid for the treason of the South,,.There.are loyal States enough to “aont ‘the Amendment. Without the aid of Orr and in. spite. of the opposition of the , traitor who. disgraces the Presidential hind ‘The loyal men of the nation who sustained the administration of Abraham Lincola,. are.ftrong enough to carry. throngh their cause until the results of the war-are firmly fixed in fundainental law. Away with that conservatism which Arfays itseffagainst the proposed Amendmietite,and would opén the doors of Congress to the infamous traitors who have attempted to destroy’ the Government,— Of ll the. unreasonable statements that frave béen'thade'by the Johnson press, the one that Congress, after haying stood bolddy up for rig vigainat the Executive, and : Face every point.and having been . indorsed by the people in every election, should modify its course becanse of the opposition of an infamous traitor of the Pal-. metto State, The eohservative papers HAWG deiised to prate about the injastice of PS.

He seems to enterhis 00 des et healt and talks of his trial Geath he speaks ofit asan event for which * the public is impatient. _Dodge sends us the following letter, with a request for its } publisation. "We give it place, because the thoughts expressed by him, when sen_ tence was pronounced, ate more fully expressed thanin our notice at that time: “Editor Transcript :—I notice in your colurins a statement, that J had a fale impression on my mind’ when 1-was before Judge McFarland the last time.’ Now, I beg to be undérstood by all. “Nothing looks more hoble or more brave in a man than to acknowledge a wrong when he knows that.heis wrong. It is not my intention.to die, giving any one any,false accusations, for God knows my heart, that I only want to do God and the world a good service, that is justly due—such service as you think you are deing by hurring me to an ignominious death. I said: ‘to the Judge, (when sentence was passed,) ~“‘Tshall not be able to say anything that: will satisfy you of my innocence, it is in the nature of the case imposible. *¥ou know the evidence and from what source it came, and asyon ate bent on having my life it is idle for me to attempt to explain Lifaway. I have no reason to believe that my word will be taken in e xplanation . against the pp icra ong that exist against me, nor am 1 going to beg you to take it, complain to you that it is not taken, nor shall I appeal to your reason in what'few words I have got to say. In the present fury.and passion of a number of persons, they would hate me worse were I to prove my entire innocence, than they do now.— The long settled hate of a few men has infected you all, and now you as well as many others, are so mad and so prejudiced against me, that you think you are-doing” God and the world a good service by hurrying mé to an ignominiots death. 1 have given you,all the warning that can, that is all I can do, and you may do your work up to ao pominalvee.5 To ‘the aadience ou. whe-now. so impatiently =A my death and stand weady to lend a hand in effecting it, beware! You will carry hence a red hand ; there will be blood upon it, and the ’ dark spot. can never be wiped out: You ,now thirst for blood, and my blood you can have, bat tum® where you will, this foul deed will haunt you through the world.’ I was pn alluding to those who had wronged me, and . will give .you all my of a number, on the 8th day of November on a piece of paper. I want you to preserve it, and if Iam wrong, then God.is my judge: that it is unintentional. I shall ask the good ple of this county to forgive me, as I shall forgiveall. The black flag is hoistedover me and let it Wave,” Rosent §. Dona. We give the letter as nearly as possible, just as it. was written, only correcting the orthography. AWARDED THE ConTRACT.—Through a private letter, received yesterday, says the Grass Valley Union of the .3ist. ult. we learn that J.S. McCue, of this place, has becn awarded the contract for supplying eighty-five cavalry horses for Company B, Eighth U, 8. Cavalry, . The contract was awarded, Tuesday last, at San Francisco,{ The-horses are to. be -delivered by the 15th inet., cither at Sacrameto, Marys: ville, or Chico, at the option of the Govern ment, The animuls are to be fodd, soinid, sér vicea ble horses’ well Broke to. the saddle, without: defect: or blemish=not less than fourteen and ene-half hands: fior over sixteen hands high, and not less than five nor more than nine Years of nee, in soedrcondition; yeady for immediate serviee. © Malf breed or California horses that come tp to the above standayd of height, j and comply with: the foregoing specific ations in Gpher respects, will be acegpted. _ PoLitres “IN “NEVADA.—A private let. ter’ froin’ 'a' proniinént’ ‘citizen of Nevada, datgd Carson City, Ostobor 20th hag the following: Our registry closed yesterday, snd the Union party is all right in this State.

The cave is at the of asmall natural basin, (whose diameter will not at smooth plain, and surrounded wit copse.of wood. _ There are po indications to lead tothe ‘supposition that it wasoccasioned by any eruption of a voleanic or rounding country, as well as the immediate neighborhood of the cave itself, is wholly free of stones, ruggedness and other marks of convulsive action. When first discovered and brought into notite by Cols. Barrow and MeKinley, in 1986 or 1837, the orifice of the cave was three or four feet larger. Col. McKinley proposed explorin it, but in atte mpting to sound it with lea and line he failed to touch bottom; and gave up the undertaking as too hazardous for further yentare., ‘Phe present mouth of the cave is about one and a half feet. in diameter, through which, at one period of the day, there issues a strong current of air, not in puffs, but a continuous stream, with a roar that is-heard at a distance of 60 or 70 yards. In the Winter of 1864, in company wih several ladies, I visited the caverat the time ofits blowing out >and by way of experiment, one of the ladies threw her veil into the mouth of it, which was biown into the air to the height of six or’ seven feet. Ithen threw my hat—a heavy woolen one—into it with a like result.— Several articles heavier than either of the above were tried, but immediately expelled. At another period of the day the suction is relatively-as great. Any ‘Tight ar: ticle held near the orifice is instantly drawn into the cave. Dr. Cotton, the State Geolorist, a gentleman of high scientific ability. visited it-at the solicitation of Cols McKinley and Batrow, and gave it as his opinion, that these reversed pheriomena was caused by the ebb and flow of the tide, and that the cave was originally one of the fathomless lime sinks so uumerous in‘that portion of Georgia. I “TERRIBLE FAMINE IN InDIA.—Advices from Calcutta give heart-rending accounts of the famine in the provinces. of pag and vaery No less than 75,000 pe sons are daily fed by public charity, ia it is estimated that an equal number are supplied privately, chiefly by the Hindoos. The gh aa of deaths from starvation averages 2,500 per week, and one week reached 3,500! Dadian thesemany die in the interior whose cases are not reported. Accounts appear daily in the papers, reported by eye-witnesses, of the. jackals eating the corpse of one wretch whilethey wait for his companion who is dying, or of the child taken from the breast of its mother, who has been dead two days. What is worse, the sufferi of the people have been aggravated by tive outrageous if not criminal mismanagement of the English officials, who ‘discouraged the efforts of private charity and refuted to exert themselves to relieve the famine before-it became so wide-spread and alarming. The. famine began «in: October : last; ae the . failure of a rice crop, and even now the efforts ot the authori Hes are, inadequate to meet the emergency,and the poor Hingloos ure perighing by thousand. ELoQuENT ‘PAssace.—The finest thing . . George D. Prentice ever wrote is whfe inimitable passage: Tt cantiot bé' that Sart “18 “Man's ‘only abiding place. It cannot be that our life isa bubble cast up by the’ dcean ‘of ‘eter: nity to float a monient upon its waves, and sink into nothingness: “Else why is it, the high and glorious'aspirations; which leap like angels.frem .the wcpple; of our hearts, are forever wandering unsatisfied? Why is it that the rainbow and cloud come over us with a beauty that is not of earth, and then pass off toleave us to muse on théir loveliness? Why is it that . the stars which “hold thei ‘it festival around thermidnight throne,” are’ set above the & grURp of out Himited factiltiés; forever niccking ns with ‘their unapproachable glory? “And, finally, why is itthat bright forms yt juan beauty are presented to our Viewsarnd tiken from us, leaving the thousand streanis Of Ot affections to flow back in as uipine torrent. apon our hearts? We are bern for a higher destiny than that of earth, There is # -realm twhere the rainbow never fades; where the stars will be spread out:before us like the islands that slumber on. the ocean, and
