_ setibed as Germanic, He belongs to -aminer has ieee for the “dead past,”-and hence devotes considerable spaceto the denunciation of the Pilgtim Fathers. -SpeakerRogers, at the recent session of the Legislature of this State, apologized for his origin, and expressed great sorrow that he was «de scendant of New England parents, and the Hzaminer seems determined to prove'that the Honorable Speaker was justified in hie apology. “But inthe denuneciation of these Buritans,the Zzamiver Seems to forget that some other localities in the early settlement of the ' country were proscriptive,as well as the Puritans. In this denunciation the Z. aminer shows a contemptible sectional spite that ought not to be tolerated in. either section of the country, and after misrepr'senting the first settlers of New England, attempts to create a prejudice against all New Englanders. For egotism,and narrow sectional prejudice, no class, ancient or modern,.can excel the Hzxaniiner and many of its party. No virtue or merit can be seen in any opponent, and-denunciation is ‘hurled at foreigners and native born» when by so doing the ends of party can be advanced, For example, witness the recent slanders leveled at General Sher~~ wan-and-hisarmy, and-at the German: _ citizens-of the United States. REPRESENTATION IN. CONGRESS.— The House of Representatives, which ‘will be organized in a year, will consist of 800 members, an increase of 67. This ““fmcrease will enable the Eastern and Middle States, which would have lost: in representation, to retain the same number, and largely increase the representation of the West. Estimating the population of the country at 40,000,000, there will be one Representative to be chosen for every 133,383 inhabitants, and California will gain a Representative. Ifthe first estimate of population was correct, namely 600,000, the fractional part would probably give a gain of two Representatives. We shall . have without doubt.a representation of four. As the State cannot be redistricted before the next election, the extra Rep Tesentative must. be chosen at large. Tuw Stare Fatr.—The State Fair appears to be ‘a decided success. The attendanés on Wednesday was the largest ever known. General Sherman visited the grounds and Pavilion, and at the latter place, in the evening, Congtesaman Sargent delivered the Annual Address, in‘which he discussed the industrial condition of the State at considerable length. The speech is given dn fallin Thursday's Union. The: rotting race: between Regulator, Shoo Fly and Venture, best three in five, was closely’ contested, and excellent time was made, the contest resulting in favor of Regulater. The best time was 280235. The horses went five miles, Shoo ed haw the first and second ‘AN Amierican army officer, who knowe Von’ Moltke, says that there is probably no. military man in Europe who {a'wo:tlioroughly acquainted with the ‘history of the American war, and who is go intelligently informed regarding all the. details of our plans, operations and campaigns, ‘He not only knows about our army organization that order of German students de scribed by Goethe as the “AUl-knowers.” : ; . sane, and ‘since that time ‘this belief . manufacture ice.

At the time was arrested it was believed he was inhas been confirmed, but it is not. certain whether his insanity is ofa temporary character from the effects of drink, or permanent. The examination was continued in order that the nature of his insanity may be. more fully ascer. tained, , The Literary Society. The evenings are now getting long, and it will soon be time for the reorganization of the Literary Society. Last season the Society meetings were invariably crowded, and the exercises were ory, entertaining. Ouryoung should begin to think of reorgani. zation. Committed to Jail. John Dempsey, who was charged with stealing a box of goods from a freight wagon in Grass Valley, has been committed to jail to await examination by the next Grand Jury, on the charge of grand larceny. Will Commence Work. Organ & Dunpicliff, contractors for repairing the suspension bridge, will commence work on Monday or Tuesday next. ARTIFICIAL Icz.—The Grass Valley Union says: A company is about being formed whese business it will be to be used is thatof the New Orleans Company’ 8 patent. The great success of the New Orleans Company in making better ice than any which is frozen naturally, is the cause of the Valley is so located that water will not freeze sufficiently in Winter to put and as the the town is at present supplied, the article is a very costly luxury. The stock of the new’company will be taken by three or four of our citizens who . are able to carry out such an enterprise. Justice Court.—The Grass Valley Justices seem to be doing a brisk business. The Union says: Justice Funston was all day yesterday examining Witnesses in the Jate woman’s fight case. Mary Keenan is accused of assault with intent to murder Lotta Morton, an account of which we gave the other day, and that was the matter Justice Funston was investigating yesterday. In Justice Payziter’s Court, the charge of mayhem against James Trent, preferred by Renben Thomas, will be investigated. The alleged mayhem consists in the biting off of an ear. NEVER did the question of neutrality . assume a more remarkable shape than in this war. England is the workshop of France, Belgium is her granary. No wonder that this has produced a strong remonstrance from Prussia, who properly says that the question is above the . refinements of crown lawyers, and belongs to the field of diplomacy. But the ware of the last ten years have shown the necessity of so altering the laws of neutrality that the world shall not be able to work unitedly for one side only in aquarrel, Not the least remarkable aspect of this question is, that the side for which Engjand and Belyium are,thus earnestly working is the side they oppose. E — PRECISION. OF THE GERMAN Fire in BATILE.—The correspondent of a Western journal, who was an eye witness of the battle of Weissenburg, referring to ‘the deliberation of the Gerprecision—the coolness, as if on parade, with which they fire: “One colonel tells me he lost his captains, lieutenants, and four-fifths of his men in five minutes of time. The precision of the German aim did awful execution, They would hold their fire till the most effective moment, and then blaize away with such decision as well as precision, that itis a wonder that a single man was Toft standing in his tracks Two hundred bales of ilk passed 4! omslease® aa to hrongh Omahe, sipped. direct. frog London.

For this the grower obtained prices ranging from $8 to $10 a pound, from druggists and physicians in New England. The opium furnished 9.25 per cent. of morphine. It is stated that Professor Proctor thinks, with greater care in obtaining the pure juice of the capsules, the opium might be made to yield ten per cent. of morphia. The proportion of this alkaloid which the best Turkey opium is capable of affording, varies from nime to fourteen per cent. NAPOLEON AS A PRISONER.—A correspondent writes that the Emperor, at Wilhelmshohe enjoys entire freedom of action, and walks or rides as he pleases. His chief companions are the Prince of Moskowa end Prince Murat. He disregards the stare of curieus people whom he encounters outside the gates. It is said he looks thirty years older than in 1865, when the writer saw him. He is now bloated, bilious and yellow ; eyes fuint, tired and expressionless ; . movements slow, awkward and mechanical, and his face absolutely devoid of expression. Another describes his appearance in ene word. He retires Jate and rises early. His chamber . windows. .are lighthed long after midnight, and at half past four the Emperor is seen walking in his garden.

It also says that it shall be sufficent for a mortgage to say that “A B. mortgages to C. D.,” without going through the old form of deeding the Jand and then in case of payment of the money secured. This would save an immense expense in recording. night last,says the Grass Valley Union, a shop keeper on Mill street, about closing wp, turned down a Kerosene lamp which was used in the shop. An explosion occurred, the lamp was blown to pieces, and a fire came very near being the result. There were several persons close by when the accident occurred, and their efforts saved a fire alarm. Kerosene seems to be getting very dangerous.
