Not content with the prevailing methods of punishment. which they already possess, and whieh are nec” essarilyinseparable frou any wellconstituted form of “State goverhment as a peace-preserving and daw—~pmintaining power, the good people of the State of SouthCarolina are crying aloud for the re-estsblixhnvent of the whipping post within their domains. The press of the Statw, which isthere the sume as in California, the medium of public expression, is almost unanimous—with perhaps two exceptions, the more prominent. bejug. the. Charleston News and Courier—in their expréssions as to the necessity of legalizing the tse of this barbaric instrument of torture, that its restrainiug influence inay be exerted on those culprits who are now over-running the Seate with the frequent:ommisgions of petty crimes, ~The ; is no doubt but tint _the -recent dipredations woich ,our Bouthorm friends are called upon -to submittg, need some powerful remedy.

Bat evon though we fuliy appreciate: this deplorable state of affiirs, it remains @ serious question in our mind as’ to what the effect of the stinging lash, while cutting int» the bleeding backs’ of the cringing culprits, might have upon the community at.large. What though the States of Delaware and Virginia do already possess the luxury of the whipping post? There has certainly nothing grown out of their experience in its use to demonstrate the advisability of its more general introduction throughout tue United States. Ou the contrary, we are led to understand by those who have given to the subject their unprejudiced personal attention, that to results have been, sovially, most pernicious. Whereupou we ask if, ia bouth Carolina--where the color‘line stands out with sach promineuce éven yet, and it is & popular theory that no son of Ham ean possibly possess a single spark of houesty —tais means of punishment will not be tised as an instrument for intimidating. and anjastly chastising the blacks, in the namo of justice?’ This is a matter which should not be de elded upon with too great haste by our brethren who control the ‘Sunny State;”” instoad, let them cousider if the oxisting reign of lawlessness within their borders cannot be overcome by some other means which will not-be open to all the objections that may be vrged against that which, in the enlightenment of: the ninetventh century, should be regarded as a relic of a more barbarous age ——the whipping post. >_s—estructive Fire.” _ The Shaft-House, with all its contents and adjoining buildings of the . . Moore's Fiat Blue Gravel Mining Company, ut Moodre’s Flat, were destroyed by fire at about 12 o’clock Sunday. night. Everything at tbe shaftis in ashes, and the timbers of the main shaft are burned down to the depth of twenty or thirty feet. The fire was the work of a cowardly incendiary,as thore had been no fire in or about the buildings for some time. Mr. N. H. Westfall, the Superintendent, left there on Sunday morning and arrived here in te afternoon, and he receivedihs above news here yesterday noon. The property is owned principally by San Francisco . men, The lost is about $20,000 and there was no insurance on ‘it. It will _ be impossible-for the company to put up new works now owing to the late“ness of the season, suspended for the winter unless’perhaps that the running of the tunnel luuy be continued, J SS in Work -Will be! ‘sFritz.?? The Stockton Herald says the Theatre was completely filled. on Friday évening on the occasion of the presentation of Emmet’s “Fritz.” That the play was writtem especially for Emmet. admits of no doubt, since there is nothing in it except “Fritz,” worth the trouble of see-. ing or listening to, The support, however, wis good enough. The play affords Mr’. Emmet ample opportunity to Gisplay his peculiar acportraying the German character as itis manifested ameng the German peasantry, He is a very pleasing singer, a ver good dancer and withal a splendid actor. ‘The character of the German emigrant who knew what he was about, was’ probably never better taken than it. was on Friday night, He was. easy, natural, aprently good natured and a regular Dutch Mark ‘Tapley.‘ Fritz” was jolly under all circumstances, apparently the jolliess; when things were going the worst. Mr. Emmet dresses'the characters without exaggeration and bis acting is not overdrawn, as all will admit who have seen the German emigrant fresh from the Faderland Having mingled in the old country with the class of people to which “ Fritz” beJongs, he has studied their cliarace, teristics and he portrays them with great perfection, His singing cannot be excelled by the joltliest.

"Whe Rocky Bar Mine. ‘fhe affairs of this mine are rapidly coming into shape forthe new organ, ization, says the Grass Valley Union. At present the stock is divided, as we understand it, into only eleven shares, of the par value of $5,000 each, making the capital stock $55,000. ‘Fhe principal place of business is now in San Francisco, Of course the number .of shares of the stock: will have to be increased, and itis the intention of the new company, or rather new owners of the. stock, to remove the prinéipsl place of business from San Francisco to Grass Valley. Tho Trusteés of the new organization will have to be chosen by tie present Trustees of the company, in this way: one of the present Trustees will resign, and the Vacancy will hen be filled by electing ene of the men of the new company, then another resignation will tuke . place and that vacancy be filled, and so on until the Board will be entirely composed of new members. The new Tru: tees to be chosen will be D.’ B. Kelly, Henry Sylvester, A. Sims, Jr., Robert Cryer and Wm. L. Whito. It has not yet been determined as to how twuch the, capital stock there will be under the new auspices, nor as to the number of shares into which it will be divided. The purchasers of the nine-elevenths of the stock of the Rocky Bar Company are all residents of Grass Valley, being business men and working miners of this place. The financial arrangement,” for the purchase of the property were made through Mersrs, John C, and Edward Coleman, though these gen. tlomen take none of the stock and retain no interest in the property, It has been recently demonstrated that the Rocky Bar ground contains very rich ore, and it is certain that the new company have made a splendid bargain, And there are many just such bargains in Grass Valley district that will be snatched up before many mouths, Freight at the Depot.

The, Unemptoyed * Accounts of extreme .destitution reach us from all parts of the country on account of the dificulty of obtaining employment., . Foreigners are unable totcomprehend why it is that in a country with thousands of millions of acres uvtenebed by ‘the plow there shonld’ be idleness and’ ‘starvation. Col. Ingersoll, the eminent orator, when asked for a solutation of this paradox, gave a sensible and-charactetistic answer, ‘{1u my judgment,” said he, ‘they must cultivate the soil. Farming must be minde more. desirable. It must be elevated in its: ¢haracter, so that those who work tue land will have an honest pride in their business. They must edueate their children how to cultivate thesoil. They must not be educated simply to be, ministers or lawyers or doctors, but they must be educated to be farniers. It must be understood that education is as necessary to tillthe Boil as to follow any other business or profes‘siow inthe world. -We must get rid of the idea that a little education unfits us for labur. There are to-day hundreds of ‘graduates of Ha:vard and Yale and other colleges who are agents for sewing machine compuanies, solicitors for insurance,’ clerks, copyists, in short, performing menThey seem t» be williag to do anythiog that can be doue ina iukservice. house or ina town, but avoid farmjng us they would a leprosy. Every young man educated in tliis way is simply rained, What little good sense he had is educated out of him It-is a thou sand times better to have good sense wit hout edueation’ than education without good sefise. Give your sons-an education that will be of realuse. Let them be, tinght. to help themselves; tnat it is disgraceful to be an idler, that only the useful are h-norable, Morton’s Posthum ous Praise. The following brief but pointed ar. ticle, which we clip from ,the columns of the Sacramento Bee, will commend itself tothe approbation of The evil tendency referred to, that of maligning prominent, men—igit@eserving not only of condemnatiqn;, but of. execration: ‘“Nuw that the grave has closed over the remains of the greut Morton, many of the papers which, during his life, uttered and promalgated the vilest slanders concerning his moral character, are admittint that, though they consider him politically blamable, yet he was personally irreproachable. ‘This is indeéd tardy justice. The old ery of posthumous fame is recognized as a fraud in this age. To be maligned and vilified through life, and only all sensible people. when ears that should hear and eyes that should see are. speechiess and closed forever, may have been eunsidered an honor among ancient nathen. What moots it to Morton whether the stately marble enshroud his remains, or the. modest daisy be the.only token that raises its head above his last resting place? What cares be now whether the smooth verse of a Longfellow or the beautiful prose of an Ingersoll enshrines, his memory, when during life he was assailed with pens dipped in malice and reeking in slander? If suca words had been’ peaned during his life, they would have been an honor; ‘but now that death has ecme, they look more like an apology from the lips of his slanderers. The American, people have one great fault; and that is, that they pay too little respect to their great men while living, and .too much to their senseless remains. Honoring the dead is a beautiful custom, but it often savors of hypoenisy. To honor the living is by far the more Christian act.’* Busted. Itis nota long story. His name is Deidesheimer, and he is now Snperintendent of the Hale & Norcross “mine st Virginia City. Once he was wortha million. He is now going through bankruptcy. Ashe Made it and lost it ali in stocks, the only room for a moral is that vaulting ambition is apt to'o'erleap itself. Had Diedesheimer ‘closed out’ once ona time,Hale & Norcross, or some other bonanza kings, would not have his money and he would not. be going through bankruptcy.

A letter asking this recommendation has been signed a Luttrell, and also by Senator Mitchmembers of the House; and. will be placed if the hands of the Preaiient. early to-morrow.

Pte Voorhees. Hereis something which speaks more for the heart and mind of Senator Voorhees than anytlung we. have ever. geen before’ The words. as cribed to him are worthy ot his name and parentage’ Laura Ream, the Cincinnati Commercial’s Indianapolis correspondent, writes: “It is to the-¢redit of Mr. Voorhees to say that he was profoundly affected by Senator Morton’s' death. I was present when the intelligence of the near approach to death was communicated to him. Every particle of color faded out of his face. ‘You don’t tell me 80?’ he said‘in.a broken voice. ‘I was not prepared to hear this. I knew that he had been very ill, but I also knew the elasticity of his fine constitution, and I hoped he would be spared yet many years to his family and party. He would be an irreparable loss to both.’ That evening and the next Mr, Voorhees was very grave, and to his appointment he said: ‘ De let-us talk about that now ; knows I‘ wish Senator Morten had lived,” * oe — Chief Joseph. Chief Joseph has been interviewed by a correspondent, to whom he said: “It is all over now. My heart meabs peace, and when I surrendered I surrendered to everybody.”’’ He asked the interpreter in what part of the reservation wheat would grow best, manifestiog an intention of becoming a farmer next year. He says that be himself committed no murders, but on the contrary, tried to stop them. He is a temperance man and said that captured whisky was usually ot the bottom of all the murders, the Indians getting almost crazy with it and ulterly beyond bis influ ence, He was glad to see General Howard, as he felt he would receive ‘Justice,and paid him the compliment of saying that it was he who broke him in spirit and strength at Clearwater, so effectually that. he never recovered from the blow. National Allegiance. The Sacramento Record published an interview held with Judge T. B, ‘McFarland, to obtain his views of the changes that should be made in our State Constitution by the rroposed Convention. He thinks it a mistake to change the fudamental law by a comprehensive revision, which is convulsive in its character, and he much prefers the process of slow growth by legislative amend‘ment.He closes his remarks with the following sentence: ' There will be, in all probability, a large number of members of that Convention whe have no attachnient to the General Government, who are in favor of a Pacific Republic at the first opportunity, and who will endeavor to strike out of the Constitution everything that ties the State totke Nations Lancuace is sometimes only the leceittal cover of the thoughts. We have been wondering what the late dutgushing of an old lady over McClellan meant.

The financial arrangement,” for the purchase of the property were made through Mersrs, John C, and Edward Coleman, though these gen. tlomen take none of the stock and retain no interest in the property, It has been recently demonstrated that the Rocky Bar ground contains very rich ore, and it is certain that the new company have made a splendid bargain, And there are many just such bargains in Grass Valley district that will be snatched up before many mouths, Freight at the Depot.

The, Unemptoyed * Accounts of extreme .destitution reach us from all parts of the country on account of the dificulty of obtaining employment., . Foreigners are unable totcomprehend why it is that in a country with thousands of millions of acres uvtenebed by ‘the plow there shonld’ be idleness and’ ‘starvation. Col. Ingersoll, the eminent orator, when asked for a solutation of this paradox, gave a sensible and-charactetistic answer, ‘{1u my judgment,” said he, ‘they must cultivate the soil.. Farming must be minde more. desirable. It must be elevated in its: ¢haracter, so that those who work tue land will have an honest pride in their business. They must edueate their children how to cultivate thesoil. They must not be educated simply to be, ministers or lawyers or doctors, but they must be educated to be farniers. It must be understood that education is as necessary to tillthe Boil as to follow any other business or profes‘siow inthe world. -We must get rid of the idea that a little education unfits us for labur. There are to-day hundreds of ‘graduates of Ha:vard and Yale and other colleges who are agents for sewing machine compuanies, solicitors for insurance,’ clerks, copyists, in short, performing menThey seem t» be williag to do anythiog that can be doue ina iukservice. house or ina town, but avoid farmjng us they would a leprosy. Every young man educated in tliis way is simply rained, What little good sense he had is educated out of him It-is a thou sand times better to have good sense wit hout edueation’ than education without good sefise. Give your sons-an education that will be of realuse. Let them be, tinght. to help themselves; tnat it is disgraceful to be an idler, that only the useful are h-norable, Morton’s Posthum ous Praise. The following brief but pointed ar. ticle, which we clip from ,the columns of the Sacramento Bee, will commend itself tothe approbation of The evil tendency referred to, that of maligning prominent, men—igit@eserving not only of condemnatiqn;, but of. execration: ‘“Nuw that the grave has closed over the remains of the greut Morton, many of the papers which, during his life, uttered and promalgated the vilest slanders concerning his moral character, are admittint that, though they consider him politically blamable, yet he was personally irreproachable. ‘This is indeéd tardy justice. The old ery of posthumous fame is recognized as a fraud in this age. To be maligned and vilified through life, and only all sensible people. when ears that should hear and eyes that should see are. speechiess and closed forever, may have been eunsidered an honor among ancient nathen. What moots it to Morton whether the stately marble enshroud his remains, or the. modest daisy be the.only token that raises its head above his last resting place? What cares be now whether the smooth verse of a Longfellow or the beautiful prose of an Ingersoll enshrines, his memory, when during life he was assailed with pens dipped in malice and reeking in slander? If suca words had been’ peaned during his life, they would have been an honor; ‘but now that death has ecme, they look more like an apology from the lips of his slanderers. The American, people have one great fault; and that is, that they pay too little respect to their great men while living, and .too much to their senseless remains. Honoring the dead is a beautiful custom, but it often savors of hypoenisy. To honor the living is by far the more Christian act.’* Busted. Itis nota long story.

Pte Voorhees. Hereis something which speaks more for the heart and mind of Senator Voorhees than anytlung we. have ever. geen before’ The words. as cribed to him are worthy ot his name and parentage’ Laura Ream, the Cincinnati Commercial’s Indianapolis correspondent, writes: “It is to the-¢redit of Mr. Voorhees to say that he was profoundly affected by Senator Morton’s' death. I was present when the intelligence of the near approach to death was communicated to him. Every particle of color faded out of his face. ‘You don’t tell me 80?’ he said‘in.a broken voice. ‘I was not prepared to hear this. I knew that he had been very ill, but I also knew the elasticity of his fine constitution, and I hoped he would be spared yet many years to his family and party. He would be an irreparable loss to both.’ That evening and the next Mr, Voorhees was very grave, and to his appointment he said: ‘ De let-us talk about that now ; knows I‘ wish Senator Morten had lived,” * oe — Chief Joseph. Chief Joseph has been interviewed by a correspondent, to whom he said: “It is all over now. My heart meabs peace, and when I surrendered I surrendered to everybody.”’’ He asked the interpreter in what part of the reservation wheat would grow best, manifestiog an intention of becoming a farmer next year. He says that be himself committed no murders, but on the contrary, tried to stop them. He is a temperance man and said that captured whisky was usually ot the bottom of all the murders, the Indians getting almost crazy with it and ulterly beyond bis influ ence, He was glad to see General Howard, as he felt he would receive ‘Justice,and paid him the compliment of saying that it was he who broke him in spirit and strength at Clearwater, so effectually that. he never recovered from the blow. National Allegiance. The Sacramento Record published an interview held with Judge T. B, ‘McFarland, to obtain his views of the changes that should be made in our State Constitution by the rroposed Convention. He thinks it a mistake to change the fudamental law by a comprehensive revision, which is convulsive in its character, and he much prefers the process of slow growth by legislative amend‘ment.He closes his remarks with the following sentence: ' There will be, in all probability, a

large number of members of that Convention whe have no attachnient to the General Government, who are in favor of a Pacific Republic at the first opportunity, and who will endeavor to strike out of the Constitution everything that ties the State totke Nations Lancuace is sometimes only the leceittal cover of the thoughts.
