The trath is, the Republican party is as hopelessly demoralized as is the AdministraBall, her captain, fell; scores . fon party, and partially from the same cause-— had faith in matters of principle. The AdminIhe . istration party is also greatly demoralized from the possession of the spoils; and an overweening anxiety to possess the spoils has broken whatever of back-bone the Republican party ever possessed, The only political party vow in existence which possesses any teal vitality. or any prospects of success in the coming Presidential race, is the Anti-Lecompton-Popnlar-Sovercignty Democracy, Its prin. ciples are such as the great masses North, Bast. South and West can subscribe to; they are cherished reverentially and sacredly in the bosoms of eight-tenths of the American people, aud no amount of sophistry or special pleading can serve to crase them. Whoever may he put forward as the exponent of their principles, whatever may be the name of the party which advocates them, they will triumph in the next Presidential campaign.

As the transmission of intelligence in a short time seems the order of . the day, I beg leave to send you a copy of an . article from Dr, Dicks’ works, on the subject of . Acoustic Tunnels for the transinission of sound, . believing that great improvements can be made in them, especially since the discovery of gutta . percha, and that we may be able some time or . other to falk to John Bull across the Atlantic ocean, Experiments were made in Paris by M. Biot on the transmission of sound through air in very long tabes, and through solid bodies, . These experiments were made through long . cylindrical pipes, which were coustrueted as . fountains to embellish the city of Paris. With . regard to the velocity of sound, it was ascerand possibly a little alarmed. and hesitated to go any nearer. She then called to Mr. John Ingram, who was passing near, and informed him of the discovery. He approuehed, and took ont the remainder of the bundle. whieh, on examination, was found to bea coarse sack nearly the size of a fifty pound flour sack, into which the money ($1,160) and the papers had been placed and tied up, aud put into one leg of the pantaloons. _ Altogether, we regard these as most extraordinary cirenmstanees. There were two men entered the house at the time of the robbery, Three pair of pantaloons were found with the stolen property, indieating plainly that there were three interested inthe robbery, This fact is still more strongly substantiated by thé amount found being exactly one-third the amount stolen, Santa Rosa Democrat. Sap Corscipence.—The Shasta Republican, in noticing the death of Mr. James Henderson, who was killed near Horsetown, recently, by the caving of a bank, says : The deovared was much respected by all who knew him. He was from Philadelphia, where his mother and sisters now reside, Lis remains were buried in this plice yesterday, [tt may be mentioned asa sad coincidence, that the companion who came with him to California was likewise killed, while mining, by the caving of & bank vear Horsetown, that it occurred uponthe same day of the month exactly six months before the death of Tetderson, that he . was brought toShasta on the following day and buried, and that) tae funeral procession was greeted by a rain similar to that which visited us yesterday.

As the transmission of intelligence in a short time seems the order of . the day, I beg leave to send you a copy of an . article from Dr, Dicks’ works, on the subject of . Acoustic Tunnels for the transinission of sound, . believing that great improvements can be made in them, especially since the discovery of gutta . percha, and that we may be able some time or . other to falk to John Bull across the Atlantic ocean, Experiments were made in Paris by M. Biot on the transmission of sound through air in very long tabes, and through solid bodies, . These experiments were made through long . cylindrical pipes, which were coustrueted as . fountains to embellish the city of Paris. With . regard to the velocity of sound, it was ascerand possibly a little alarmed. and hesitated to go any nearer. She then called to Mr. John Ingram, who was passing near, and informed him of the discovery.

There were two men entered the house at the time of the robbery, Three pair of pantaloons were found with the stolen property, indieating plainly that there were three interested inthe robbery, This fact is still more strongly substantiated by thé amount found being exactly one-third the amount stolen, Santa Rosa Democrat.
