BS SONI PEE ES “PALSIED” AND ‘“'WITHERED.”—South Carolina some time ago said fight, but the elegarit Senator from El] Dorado, who invoked the anathema on his own “tongue” and “arm,” has not yet gone to “strike” in her cause. Cowardice being.out of ‘the question, can it be possible that yper diem ‘has any influence in repressing the enthusiasm of his chivalrous ardor! The phys‘icians are likely to have a subject one of these ‘days for an exhibition of their skill, and ‘fhe diterateurs onwhich‘to write a story:! RSE eS Pee a ‘Gov. DowneEy.—The Placer Herald is displeased with Gov. Downey, because he vetoed the “Change of Venue Bill.” It says-there is a “power behind the throne, greater than the throne itself,” and adds: ‘““This power behind the throne which dictates ‘and shapes Executive action, and'by praise and flattery controls anil seduces the Governor, is an unscrupulous public press, headed by the Bulletin of San Francisco, with the Alta and Union for its drill officers, and disreputable journals constituting the rank and file. It is from this source that Downey covets praise, which ‘to him, it would seem, was a higher consideration, than the discharge of a plain duty, the approval of a just law, or proper regard for the interest of the real people.” When ‘fhe Herald undertakes to abuse the ‘Governor for such an act, and speaks of an “‘unscrupulous” public press, we are afraid it was ignorant of the Arab proverb, which is used by Dumas, in one of Bulwer’s plays. So long as Gov. Downey respects the intelli‘gent, impartial opinions uttered by the independent press, he is not likely to go far wrong. Thus far he has been a model Chief Executive, and has completely won the admiration of the masses, Who tock beyond party machinery to” discover the motives and effect of public acts.: If the press has contributed towards aiding him in the proper discharge of his official duty, it has done a good thing, and he has shown a wise discretion in paying heed to it. AgcnrituLtture.—“Old Block” (A. Delano) has sent usa circular for publication, which we decline, solely because it was received too-late. Our readers have nearly all had . an opportunity to peruse it in other papers, ' which renders it unnecessary to insert it in this. We approve of the object of the circular, which is, to urge upon the agriculturists and horticulturists of Nevada county to take more interest in the affairs of the State Society and to contribute the coming Fall to its collections, such articles, in number and quality, as may be illustrative of our attainments in these departments, and honorable to the exhibitors. Nevada county has some pretentions in the way of agriculture, and it behooves her citizens to adopt such measures—those proposed by “Qld Block”—in order to make the fact better known. Bas It is a fact which has become pretty apparent in the last six months, that almost every man who was born in a seceding State, sympathizes with that State, and even goes so far as to defend its conduct by arguaent. In some cases they even avow, that when the hour arrives rendering it necessary, : they will be found fighting in the ranks ef the saceders. These men profess that it is a.point of honor with them! We have many suck in California—several hoiding offices of trust and profit—«worn offices—which “honor” does not seem to suggest they should resign. They are like a jockey, who bets against the horse he is entrusted to ride. Holding office is their trade—purely mechanical with them—and the oath which they subscribe nothing more than one of the tools used in their vocation. Hereafter the voters should see to it, not ta relinquish the places of public responsihility into the hands of such ingrates—no more than they: would employ a nurse in their families who affects to despise the child confided to his or her care. an nities ‘Phere. was a singular problem among the stoics, which ran to this purpose: “When a man says, ‘I‘lie,’ does he lie or does he not? . If be lies he speaks the truth’; if he speaks the truth, he lies !” Evacuation of Fort Sumter. The first impulse of the Union man and CAMPTONVILLE. A ‘few days agoI had occasion to visit patriot after perusing the recent Pony news . this famous town on business matters, and announcing a determination on the part of. whilst there enjoyed the hospitalities of its Mr. Lincoln’s administration to withdraw the troops from Fott*Sumter, would be to denource it as an act of imbecility “and cowSuch were our feelings, until we had read the news in detail and ascertained the causes assigned for -so strange a proceeding. ‘It appears that Gen. Scott assumes the responsibility of the act, and pronounces it a military necessity. It is very plausibly and we think justly argued, that the neglect of Mr. Buchanan to send Major Andersen provisions and reinforcements, rendered this step unavoidable. His supply ofthe’ former is about exhausted, and his-force is manifestly inadequate to the defence’ of the garrison. For this humiitating state of affairs Mr. Lincoln is‘notiin the slightest degree responsible. -However much he might desire to retain Fort Sumter, it would be a moral'impossibility, in the brief time allowed him, to collect together a squadron and men in sufficient number -to‘undertake the enterprise. In addition to the vessels and marines, it would require an army of at least ten thousand men to effect a debarkation, and falling upon the Carolinians in the rear, drive them from the land batteries with which they hope to do such terrible execution against hostile ships entering Charleston harbor. Further, the opinion ‘has ‘lately ‘gained, credence, that if a formidable attack-should now be made upon Fort Sumter, Major Anderson would not undertake to defend it. To do so would merely be to sacrifice uselessly the lives of a little band of brave men, deserted by their Government and delivered over to slaughter. In our view of the case, neither his courage nor his honor -would be: compromised by such a course. When men make martyrs of themselves, it-is generally for some good which is expected to follow. In this instance it would only be to render infamous in the minds of all right-thinking people throughout the world, the Government which had basely doomed them to. such a fate. The evacuation of Fort Sumter would produce a better state of feeling in the Border States. It would prove to them that the Republican administration which they have affected to regard with horror, as created especially to make war upon their cherished institution, is far from being actuated by any such motive; that,.on the vontrary,, it is determined ‘to be conciliatory so far:as.a point of honor will admit; that coercion is the last means to which it is willing to resort ; aad it would also be a damper on that consuming flame of treason which burns in fhe’ hearts of the seceding traitors, causing it to’ be turned inward upon their.ewn vitals, in-stead of flaring out with a luminous giow, to light up other fires of sympathy fora cause which is accurst in the sight ef Heaven, and would be infamous even in theblack dominions of ‘hell? With the information before us, then, we are not disposed to censure Ms, Lincoln’s administration for resolving upon the evacuation of Fort Sumter. When we do condemn it, it must be for some offense it has committed, and the onous of which attaches directly to its skirts—not for the dastardly, cowardly, imbecile conduct of the Old Granny who preceded Mr. Lincoln as eccupant of the Presidential chair. + FORNEY’S FAREWELL TO BUCHANAN. On the 4th day of March last, John W. Forney, editor of the Philadelphia Press, addressed to James Buchanan, through the columns of his paper, a ‘‘farewell letter” abounding in severe animadyversions, net only against the political integrity of the retiring President, but also against his actions‘ias a man. For severity of equal to it; for keen, cutting, biting sarcasm, it cannot be exceeded; and for its truthfulness, the entire people of the United States will vouch. The following extract, which we clip frem the Sacramento Union of the 29th March, will show the character of the document. After speaking of the prophesies of his enemies, that if ever he was clothed with the power of President he would devote himself to the overthrow of his party, whilst his friends predicted that he would immortalize himself by his moderation, and consolidate the democracy so as to leave it without a respectable adversary, Forney says: and how youdisappointed the hopes of the other, the impartial historian will record on his imperishable tablets. It would be superfluous to recapitulate the thrice-told tale of the downfall of yourself, your party and yourcountry. Even those who envied your friends, while those friends were rejoicing over your election, were shocked at the manner in which you persecuted and hounded the men who, during many years of minority, had carried your cause on their shoulders, until finally the placed = in the Presidential chair. No suc spectacle has ever been presented in any country. ou struck the most fatal blows at those who had rendered you the most devoted service. There was a rancor and a cruelty in your treatment of these men that no imagination could have anticipated, and no logician defend. Even those who attempted to maintain their usual kind relations to — person were repelled with haughty and freezing indifference, or subjected to your will by being made the slaves of your caprices and the echoes of your treacheries. In proportion as you conducted this unprovoked warfare upon those citizens, you took into your confidence men who had never treated you save as an object of hatred and scorn.” In closing his epistle Forney uses the following scathing language : “IT do not envy you your reflections in the Winter of your years; but like that Frenchman, when called upon to vote whether he would doom the tyrant of his country to the death he so richly merited, I conclude this epistle in his own words: ‘I commiserate the poor, and the needy, and the oppressed, but I have no pity for the oppressor of my country.’ ” That Buchanan richly merits this castigation at the hands of John W. Forney no one can doubt who is at all familiar with the history of the past four years. To Forney, more than any other man, was he indebted for his nomination at Cincinnati in 1856, and but for Forney’s influence, he never could have been elected President. S. . my friend Napier. “How you fulfilled the prophesies of the one, ett i Cet ici tia cna hth iba aan Moot ee citizens. I made my headquarters at an ‘excellent hotel, presided over by‘a “Virginia gentteman of the olden time,” by‘name Napier. He is an eccentric gentleman, full of good humor, fun and anecdote, and generally manages to keep @ -trowd around him, whether they will‘@r'to. Among the bad qualities which 'I distovered him to possess after a few'hours’ intercourse with him, was, that ‘he isa rampant and “rantakerous’ seeessionist—opposed to Uncle Abe’s admin‘istration and opposed to coercion. This of course danmed him in my estimation, and I took occasion'to tell him so. Not‘that I objected to'liis opposition to Uncle Abe, for some Of the best men in the country oppose him. It is his right—his priviteye. ‘He is under the impression that Jeff. Davis will be able to maintain his Negro-propagating Gonfederacy as against the United States Government, and that:dfter‘dli things are settled down, and peace is declared between the North and South, the latter will become the garden-spot of America—the Eden of the world. Then, he says, he will return to Old Virginia and settle down for life under his own Vine and fig tree, feeling sure that his domestic tranquility will not be disturbed by Sohn -Brown-raids-or Black Republican abo‘Htivotists. Ihave heard of castles being built in the air, and in my boyhood days was in the habit of building some myself, but of all the castles Tever built in imagination, none of them approximated the castle of our friend Napier ; and although I have a particular regard for the man as.an individual,.as a landlord and & private citizen, ‘I trust in God he will never realize his anticipations. I was happy to learn he was the only treasonist in the:neighborhood of Camptonville. Camptonville is not the town it once was, by any means. It is “growing small by-degrees and beantifally ess.” I mean, it is diminishing ‘in size, though the houses that remain, present a more comely outside appearance. Mining at this locality is not of the very best, though I was informed some claims were doing well. There was water in abundance, with but few purchasers. The population, so ‘far as old settlers are concerned, remains ‘as it was years ago, only that many have gone to Washoe and other parts. But ‘few new faces presented themselves to me. during my visit. Camptonville, like all other tewns tn ‘the State has a mixed population-ef all:countries classes and sexes ; but, take them all in all,. they are as kind-hearted and generous a people as:can be found in any town of the State. Traiters, cesessionists, anti-coercienists and abolitionists find no favor im the eyes of a large majority of its.population. They are: all, aut for the ceuntry and the Union except Ss. e REMOVAL OF THE CAPITAL.—The “small potato” members of the Legislature are endeavoring to get up another excitement about the removal of the capital from Sacramento. These agitations usually arise from three causes. The first is, there is always a class of mea in such bodies so obscure frem education, habits and ‘associations, that any measure, even though it be of positively ruinous policy, is embraced by them, if it promises to bring their names into ephemeral notoriety. A second reason is, the smart ones revive it as a rod of terror to be held over the heads of the Sacramento delegation, and force them into the swapping system, to gain support for plundering and speciality bills which have no merit within themselves. A third arises from the fact, that those of the members who’! _ . have no talents, believe the deficiency ought to be language, we think we havenever read any thing ' made upin some other way. The idea never entered their dull noddles that the part of a legislator is to serve the State, but they religiously thimk the people designed they should in some way benefit themselves, and they go in for agitating this question, just the same as they would any other which is an outrage upon public delicacy and decency, purely from motives of a personal consideration. They are not in the slightest degree restrained or influenced by the castigations of the press, simply for the reason that they never read mewspapers, and, consequently, don’t know what they contaia ! it must be manifest that some such causes lie at the bottom of all these capital removal excitements. No man at this late day, who has any respect for himself or reputation to lose, would dare permit his name to go forth as favoring such a scheme. What is it to these small minds where the capitol is located? They are, most likely, for the first and last time, occupying seats within its walls; and why would the greater lights presume to offer another insult to the intelligence of the people, make another drain upon the State Treasury, or render themselves obnoxious to general reprobation, wnless they had some criminal private motive to subserve ? aan essai _Texas anD Froripa.—There might have been some little dignity in the secession movement if Texas and Florida had not joined it. The former imperiled the Union when she came into it, which she was glad enough to do for protection against the armies of her Mexican neighbors; and the latter would still have been the property of Billy Bowlegs, if Martin Van Buren’s blood hounds, and Uncle Sam’s army and Treasury had not gone to herrelief. The ingratitude exhibited by these States-is so vile and heaven-condemned, that we should think no honest man, would consent to buy their lands or live under their ussurped governmeut. SETS Re SS eee eer era In Georgia some of the journals begin to have strong suspicions that the disunion movement is but a plot on the part of Democrats to perpetuate their power. The American Union, an old Whig paper, cites various proofs of this. ‘traitors, as they are more properly termed.” seta eisai tei Ne tS THE BIBLE IN SCHOOLS. We suggested that the reading of the-Bible in . schools destroyed its sacred character, and that it would be better to discontinue its use, and substitute the Constitution of the United States. On this the Sacramento Union remarks : “ If this argument be good, would not the case be the same with the reading of the Constitution, which has often been styled a ‘sacred in. strument’ and is regarded as such by every one . in the United States except secessionists, or . ‘By no means. The Bible teaches ethics, re. ‘ligion; the Constitution, law. The two are . “sacred” in an entirely different sense. The . interpretation of the former by different nations . and people, has given rise to a thousand+it may be ten thousand—different creeds. The more it . is studied the less it seems to be understood. If received On trust, however, for what it purports to be, viz: a systemn of instftction to regulate morals and secure salvation, there are few persons with sufficient temerity to gainsay or refute its lessons. Your infidel, atheist, pantheist and skeptic are the men who can quote scripture on their finger ends. In this'view of the case, it . may well ‘be understood why ‘members of the ‘Catholic Church are so devout and punctual in the discharge of their religious duties. They do not read the Bible‘to put their own-construction upon its language, but are content to have it explained to them by their spiritual teachers. On the contrary, the Constitution must be understood to be appreciated. The better it is known, the more it is venerated, as a matchless production of human wisdom—for it pretends to be nothing more. By a knowledge of its provisions, States are prepared -to .yield willing “bediehce'to the mandates of the General Government, and citizens allegiance to their respective States. A text of the Bible, if not thor: oughly understood, may be taken, presumptively, as an injunction to refrain from evil and do good. With the Constitution it is otherwise. It is denied to.possess any doubtful or constructive powers. A difference of interpretation leads to confusion, anarchy and disloyalty—as -in the present period of our country’s history—which jeopardizes the existence of the very temple of liberty. If the people who are lending their influence to the existing state of affairs knew more of the Constitution and the blessings which it secures to them and their posterity, it is doubtful whether they would ever have been guilty of treason to the extent they now are. Ignorance of their duty’to the Government as good citizens, more than a ‘desire for revolution, has been ‘the means of goading them on‘to folly and madness. : eae Porson Oax.—In a late ‘issue we copied ‘a paragraph, which ‘is still going the rounds of the papers, that a tea made from manzanita leaves, and applied as hot as it can be borne to the parts affected, is a sure cure for the effects of the poisonoak. ‘Since that'time we have conversed with a number of miners very sensitive ‘to the effect of this poison, who assure us that they have tried it, since . reading the paragraph, with the most:'com plete success. The discovery is certainly a most important one. Scarce an acre of mining ground in all California can be found, which is destitute of this beautiful, and now valuable shrub.—Grass Valley National.

BS SONI PEE ES “PALSIED” AND ‘“'WITHERED.”—South Carolina some time ago said fight, but the elegarit Senator from El] Dorado, who invoked the anathema on his own “tongue” and “arm,” has not yet gone to “strike” in her cause. Cowardice being.out of ‘the question, can it be possible that yper diem ‘has any influence in repressing the enthusiasm of his chivalrous ardor! The phys‘icians are likely to have a subject one of these ‘days for an exhibition of their skill, and ‘fhe diterateurs onwhich‘to write a story:! RSE eS Pee a ‘Gov. DowneEy.—The Placer Herald is displeased with Gov. Downey, because he vetoed the “Change of Venue Bill.” It says-there is a “power behind the throne, greater than the throne itself,” and adds: ‘““This power behind the throne which dictates ‘and shapes Executive action, and'by praise and flattery controls anil seduces the Governor, is an unscrupulous public press, headed by the Bulletin of San Francisco, with the Alta and Union for its drill officers, and disreputable journals constituting the rank and file. It is from this source that Downey covets praise, which ‘to him, it would seem, was a higher consideration, than the discharge of a plain duty, the approval of a just law, or proper regard for the interest of the real people.” When ‘fhe Herald undertakes to abuse the ‘Governor for such an act, and speaks of an “‘unscrupulous” public press, we are afraid it was ignorant of the Arab proverb, which is used by Dumas, in one of Bulwer’s plays. So long as Gov. Downey respects the intelli‘gent, impartial opinions uttered by the independent press, he is not likely to go far wrong. Thus far he has been a model Chief Executive, and has completely won the admiration of the masses, Who tock beyond party machinery to” discover the motives and effect of public acts.: If the press has contributed towards aiding him in the proper discharge of his official duty, it has done a good thing, and he has shown a wise discretion in paying heed to it. AgcnrituLtture.—“Old Block” (A. Delano) has sent usa circular for publication, which we decline, solely because it was received too-late. Our readers have nearly all had . an opportunity to peruse it in other papers, ' which renders it unnecessary to insert it in this. We approve of the object of the circular, which is, to urge upon the agriculturists and horticulturists of Nevada county to take more interest in the affairs of the State Society and to contribute the coming Fall to its collections, such articles, in number and quality, as may be illustrative of our attainments in these departments, and honorable to the exhibitors. Nevada county has some pretentions in the way of agriculture, and it behooves her citizens to adopt such measures—those proposed by “Qld Block”—in order to make the fact better known. Bas It is a fact which has become pretty apparent in the last six months, that almost every man who was born in a seceding State, sympathizes with that State, and even goes so far as to defend its conduct by arguaent. In some cases they even avow, that when the hour arrives rendering it necessary, : they will be found fighting in the ranks ef the saceders. These men profess that it is a.point of honor with them! We have many suck in California—several hoiding offices of trust and profit—«worn offices—which “honor” does not seem to suggest they should resign. They are like a jockey, who bets against the horse he is entrusted to ride. Holding office is their trade—purely mechanical with them—and the oath which they subscribe nothing more than one of the tools used in their vocation. Hereafter the voters should see to it, not ta relinquish the places of public responsihility into the hands of such ingrates—no more than they: would employ a nurse in their families who affects to despise the child confided to his or her care. an nities ‘Phere. was a singular problem among the stoics, which ran to this purpose: “When a man says, ‘I‘lie,’ does he lie or does he not? . If be lies he speaks the truth’; if he speaks the truth, he lies !” Evacuation of Fort Sumter. The first impulse of the Union man and CAMPTONVILLE. A ‘few days agoI had occasion to visit patriot after perusing the recent Pony news . this famous town on business matters, and announcing a determination on the part of. whilst there enjoyed the hospitalities of its Mr. Lincoln’s administration to withdraw the troops from Fott*Sumter, would be to denource it as an act of imbecility “and cowSuch were our feelings, until we had read the news in detail and ascertained the causes assigned for -so strange a proceeding. ‘It appears that Gen. Scott assumes the responsibility of the act, and pronounces it a military necessity. It is very plausibly and we think justly argued, that the neglect of Mr. Buchanan to send Major Andersen provisions and reinforcements, rendered this step unavoidable. His supply ofthe’ former is about exhausted, and his-force is manifestly inadequate to the defence’ of the garrison. For this humiitating state of affairs Mr. Lincoln is‘notiin the slightest degree responsible. -However much he might desire to retain Fort Sumter, it would be a moral'impossibility, in the brief time allowed him, to collect together a squadron and men in sufficient number -to‘undertake the enterprise. In addition to the vessels and marines, it would require an army of at least ten thousand men to effect a debarkation, and falling upon the Carolinians in the rear, drive them from the land batteries with which they hope to do such terrible execution against hostile ships entering Charleston harbor. Further, the opinion ‘has ‘lately ‘gained, credence, that if a formidable attack-should now be made upon Fort Sumter, Major Anderson would not undertake to defend it. To do so would merely be to sacrifice uselessly the lives of a little band of brave men, deserted by their Government and delivered over to slaughter. In our view of the case, neither his courage nor his honor -would be: compromised by such a course. When men make martyrs of themselves, it-is generally for some good which is expected to follow. In this instance it would only be to render infamous in the minds of all right-thinking people throughout the world, the Government which had basely doomed them to. such a fate. The evacuation of Fort Sumter would produce a better state of feeling in the Border States. It would prove to them that the Republican administration which they have affected to regard with horror, as created especially to make war upon their cherished institution, is far from being actuated by any such motive; that,.on the vontrary,, it is determined ‘to be conciliatory so far:as.a point of honor will admit; that coercion is the last means to which it is willing to resort ; aad it would also be a damper on that consuming flame of treason which burns in fhe’ hearts of the seceding traitors, causing it to’ be turned inward upon their.ewn vitals, in-stead of flaring out with a luminous giow, to light up other fires of sympathy fora cause which is accurst in the sight ef Heaven, and would be infamous even in theblack dominions of ‘hell? With the information before us, then, we are not disposed to censure Ms, Lincoln’s administration for resolving upon the evacuation of Fort Sumter. When we do condemn it, it must be for some offense it has committed, and the onous of which attaches directly to its skirts—not for the dastardly, cowardly, imbecile conduct of the Old Granny who preceded Mr. Lincoln as eccupant of the Presidential chair. + FORNEY’S FAREWELL TO BUCHANAN. On the 4th day of March last, John W. Forney, editor of the Philadelphia Press, addressed to James Buchanan, through the columns of his paper, a ‘‘farewell letter” abounding in severe animadyversions, net only against the political integrity of the retiring President, but also against his actions‘ias a man. For severity of equal to it; for keen, cutting, biting sarcasm, it cannot be exceeded; and for its truthfulness, the entire people of the United States will vouch. The following extract, which we clip frem the Sacramento Union of the 29th March, will show the character of the document. After speaking of the prophesies of his enemies, that if ever he was clothed with the power of President he would devote himself to the overthrow of his party, whilst his friends predicted that he would immortalize himself by his moderation, and consolidate the democracy so as to leave it without a respectable adversary, Forney says: and how youdisappointed the hopes of the other, the impartial historian will record on his imperishable tablets. It would be superfluous to recapitulate the thrice-told tale of the downfall of yourself, your party and yourcountry. Even those who envied your friends, while those friends were rejoicing over your election, were shocked at the manner in which you persecuted and hounded the men who, during many years of minority, had carried your cause on their shoulders, until finally the placed = in the Presidential chair. No suc spectacle has ever been presented in any country. ou struck the most fatal blows at those who had rendered you the most devoted service. There was a rancor and a cruelty in your treatment of these men that no imagination could have anticipated, and no logician defend. Even those who attempted to maintain their usual kind relations to — person were repelled with haughty and freezing indifference, or subjected to your will by being made the slaves of your caprices and the echoes of your treacheries. In proportion as you conducted this unprovoked warfare upon those citizens, you took into your confidence men who had never treated you save as an object of hatred and scorn.” In closing his epistle Forney uses the following scathing language : “IT do not envy you your reflections in the Winter of your years; but like that Frenchman, when called upon to vote whether he would doom the tyrant of his country to the death he so richly merited, I conclude this epistle in his own words: ‘I commiserate the poor, and the needy, and the oppressed, but I have no pity for the oppressor of my country.’ ” That Buchanan richly merits this castigation at the hands of John W. Forney no one can doubt who is at all familiar with the history of the past four years. To Forney, more than any other man, was he indebted for his nomination at Cincinnati in 1856, and but for Forney’s influence, he never could have been elected President.. S. . my friend Napier. “How you fulfilled the prophesies of the one, ett i Cet ici tia cna hth iba aan Moot ee citizens. I made my headquarters at an ‘excellent hotel, presided over by‘a “Virginia gentteman of the olden time,” by‘name Napier. He is an eccentric gentleman, full of good humor, fun and anecdote, and generally manages to keep @ -trowd around him, whether they will‘@r'to. Among the bad qualities which 'I distovered him to possess after a few'hours’ intercourse with him, was, that ‘he isa rampant and “rantakerous’ seeessionist—opposed to Uncle Abe’s admin‘istration and opposed to coercion. This of course danmed him in my estimation, and I took occasion'to tell him so. Not‘that I objected to'liis opposition to Uncle Abe, for some Of the best men in the country oppose him. It is his right—his priviteye. ‘He is under the impression that Jeff. Davis will be able to maintain his Negro-propagating Gonfederacy as against the United States Government, and that:dfter‘dli things are settled down, and peace is declared between the North and South, the latter will become the garden-spot of America—the Eden of the world. Then, he says, he will return to Old Virginia and settle down for life under his own Vine and fig tree, feeling sure that his domestic tranquility will not be disturbed by Sohn -Brown-raids-or Black Republican abo‘Htivotists. Ihave heard of castles being built in the air, and in my boyhood days was in the habit of building some myself, but of all the castles Tever built in imagination, none of them approximated the castle of our friend Napier ; and although I have a particular regard for the man as.an individual,.as a landlord and & private citizen, ‘I trust in God he will never realize his anticipations. I was happy to learn he was the only treasonist in the:neighborhood of Camptonville. Camptonville is not the town it once was, by any means. It is “growing small by-degrees and beantifally ess.” I mean, it is diminishing ‘in size, though the houses that remain, present a more comely outside appearance. Mining at this locality is not of the very best, though I was informed some claims were doing well. There was water in abundance, with but few purchasers. The population, so ‘far as old settlers are concerned, remains ‘as it was years ago, only that many have gone to Washoe and other parts. But ‘few new faces presented themselves to me. during my visit. Camptonville, like all other tewns tn ‘the State has a mixed population-ef all:countries classes and sexes ; but, take them all in all,. they are as kind-hearted and generous a people as:can be found in any town of the State. Traiters, cesessionists, anti-coercienists and abolitionists find no favor im the eyes of a large majority of its.population. They are: all, aut for the ceuntry and the Union except Ss. e REMOVAL OF THE CAPITAL.—The “small potato” members of the Legislature are endeavoring to get up another excitement about the removal of the capital from Sacramento. These agitations usually arise from three causes. The first is, there is always a class of mea in such bodies so obscure frem education, habits and ‘associations, that any measure, even though it be of positively ruinous policy, is embraced by them, if it promises to bring their names into ephemeral notoriety. A second reason is, the smart ones revive it as a rod of terror to be held over the heads of the Sacramento delegation, and force them into the swapping system, to gain support for plundering and speciality bills which have no merit within themselves. A third arises from the fact, that those of the members who’! _ . have no talents, believe the deficiency ought to be language, we think we havenever read any thing ' made upin some other way. The idea never entered their dull noddles that the part of a legislator is to serve the State, but they religiously thimk the people designed they should in some way benefit themselves, and they go in for agitating this question, just the same as they would any other which is an outrage upon public delicacy and decency, purely from motives of a personal consideration. They are not in the slightest degree restrained or influenced by the castigations of the press, simply for the reason that they never read mewspapers, and, consequently, don’t know what they contaia ! it must be manifest that some such causes lie at the bottom of all these capital removal excitements. No man at this late day, who has any respect for himself or reputation to lose, would dare permit his name to go forth as favoring such a scheme. What is it to these small minds where the capitol is located? They are, most likely, for the first and last time, occupying seats within its walls; and why would the greater lights presume to offer another insult to the intelligence of the people, make another drain upon the State Treasury, or render themselves obnoxious to general reprobation, wnless they had some criminal private motive to subserve ? aan essai _Texas anD Froripa.—There might have been some little dignity in the secession movement if Texas and Florida had not joined it. The former imperiled the Union when she came into it, which she was glad enough to do for protection against the armies of her Mexican neighbors; and the latter would still have been the property of Billy Bowlegs, if Martin Van Buren’s blood hounds, and Uncle Sam’s army and Treasury had not gone to herrelief. The ingratitude exhibited by these States-is so vile and heaven-condemned, that we should think no honest man, would consent to buy their lands or live under their ussurped governmeut. SETS Re SS eee eer era In Georgia some of the journals begin to have strong suspicions that the disunion movement is but a plot on the part of Democrats to perpetuate their power. The American Union, an old Whig paper, cites various proofs of this. ‘traitors, as they are more properly termed.” seta eisai tei Ne tS THE BIBLE IN SCHOOLS. We suggested that the reading of the-Bible in . schools destroyed its sacred character, and that it would be better to discontinue its use, and substitute the Constitution of the United States. On this the Sacramento Union remarks : “ If this argument be good, would not the case be the same with the reading of the Constitution, which has often been styled a ‘sacred in. strument’ and is regarded as such by every one . in the United States except secessionists, or . ‘By no means. The Bible teaches ethics, re. ‘ligion; the Constitution, law. The two are . “sacred” in an entirely different sense. The . interpretation of the former by different nations . and people, has given rise to a thousand+it may be ten thousand—different creeds. The more it . is studied the less it seems to be understood. If received On trust, however, for what it purports to be, viz: a systemn of instftction to regulate morals and secure salvation, there are few persons with sufficient temerity to gainsay or refute its lessons. Your infidel, atheist, pantheist and skeptic are the men who can quote scripture on their finger ends. In this'view of the case, it . may well ‘be understood why ‘members of the ‘Catholic Church are so devout and punctual in the discharge of their religious duties. They do

not read the Bible‘to put their own-construction upon its language, but are content to have it explained to them by their spiritual teachers. On the contrary, the Constitution must be understood to be appreciated. The better it is known, the more it is venerated, as a matchless production of human wisdom—for it pretends to be nothing more. By a knowledge of its provisions, States are prepared -to .yield willing “bediehce'to the mandates of the General Government, and citizens allegiance to their respective States. A text of the Bible, if not thor: oughly understood, may be taken, presumptively, as an injunction to refrain from evil and do good. With the Constitution it is otherwise. It is denied to.possess any doubtful or constructive powers. A difference of interpretation leads to confusion, anarchy and disloyalty—as -in the present period of our country’s history—which jeopardizes the existence of the very temple of liberty. If the people who are lending their influence to the existing state of affairs knew more of the Constitution and the blessings which it secures to them and their posterity, it is doubtful whether they would ever have been guilty of treason to the extent they now are. Ignorance of their duty’to the Government as good citizens, more than a ‘desire for revolution, has been ‘the means of goading them on‘to folly and madness. : eae Porson Oax.—In a late ‘issue we copied ‘a paragraph, which ‘is still going the rounds of the papers, that a tea made from manzanita leaves, and applied as hot as it can be borne to the parts affected, is a sure cure for the effects of the poisonoak. ‘Since that'time we have conversed with a number of miners very sensitive ‘to the effect of this poison, who assure us that they have tried it, since . reading the paragraph, with the most:'com plete success. The discovery is certainly a most important one. Scarce an acre of mining ground in all California can be found, which is destitute of this beautiful, and now valuable shrub.—Grass Valley National.
