Henry Edgerton addressed a large public meeting at this place on Thursday evening. The remarks of Mr. Conness were principally in defence of his public career, and explanatory of several important State measures, passed by the Legislature, in which he had exerted .an active agency. The swamp and overflowed lands, the school lands, the scheol fand, and several other topics of vital interest to the people of California, were ably discussed. This part of his speech was pertinent and well received. His knowledge of these subjects, as of most others of State policy, is thorough, and if he is elected, will enable Mr. Conness to discharge the duties of Governor in a wise and we hope profitable manner to the people. Mr. Edgerton is a briiliant and graceful orator, ite made a fine impression. His discussion of the State Rights dectrine was a complete refutation of the Southern theory, and ‘bis appeal in bebalf of the Unon as effective as it was thrilling and beautiful. eee Cou. Warren.—This gentleman, editor of the California Farmer, is on a tour of agricultural, horticultural and mining inyeati gation through the nfountains. He dropped in upon us the other day, and expresses himself highly pleased with the looks of the soil for grape culture. ife thinks if some hardy ‘oereign variety of the grape were introduced, undoubted success would attend its growth. This subject is worthy of being looked after by those interested in the cultivation of the soil. entitled to the liberty of free speech in the largest proper degree. There isa limit, however, even among a free people, beyond which it is sometimes imprudent to go. The man whocalls another a liar, does so at the risk of being knocked down for his temerity. The assailant of personal reputation is in constant danger of attack. Bravery and courtesy both have rules for the government of human action. While the country is engaged ina war which every loyal ‘heart sanctions—a war to preserve the existence of the National Government, and secure the permanent welfare of its citizens—he who secretly or openly denounces that Government, attempts to discourage its defenders, and utters words of sympathy for its armed enemies—not only violates all the propricties of free speech, but renders himself obnoxious to the suspicion cf treason. If a Northern man in one of the #>-called Confederate States, were even to hint his disapprobation of the Jeff. Davis Government, he would be hung up or shot down like a dog. We propose no harsh measures ; but there is a quiet kind of indignation which can easily silence these offensive declaimers. Tuey Cuuckir.—We have but few avowed secessionists in this immediate vicinity, although as the Illinois woman remarked about the musquitoes, “there's a lot on’em jest beyand”—further up the Ridge, for instance. They comported themselves respectfully, on bearing of the repulse at Bull's Run, permitting only a few broad grins and heariconsoling chuckles to escape them. The loyal have become doubly emboldened and defiant. Were the scene of conflict near at hand, the town would be literally emptied of population to swell the recruiting ranks. “The Government must and shall be sustained,” is the common expression of all true patriots, siete tee = (37 We have been handed an article to republish, concerning the agricultural resources of the South, presenting them ina most flattering view. It was too late for this week, but shall appear next. It is cause of gratulation to know that beautiful region is so blessed in its soil, but a sorrowful thing to find it up in arms against the General: Government. —_—* ©. e—____. A Nationat Crurcu.—aAllison, the historian, thinks the American Republic must suffer disintegration Because it has no National Church. Hé says if Wastiington had established such an-institution the perpetuity of the Republic would have been secured: There's old fogyism and: bigotry for you. Stockton DaILy INDEPENDENT.—The -ma-= terials of the San Andreas Independent having been removed to Stockton, a neat and'ably conducted Union daily is now printed uponthem by Armor & Clayes. May it prosper! {The Courier, published at Forest Hill, has lost six secession subscribers on account of its Union utterances, and gained ninety instead. That will do very well, brother Lynch. Pour in a little more hot shot. ‘The galled jade winces. Our withers are unwrung.” ——_——_—_—0-2 A Turrp Concressman.—The Secretary of the Interior has published'the apportionment of Congressmen to which the different States are entitled under the late census, which gives California three members. The different parties will therefore each add another name to their list of nominations. There will now be no excuse for the Legislature longer to delay districting the State, as it should have done years ago. 2 EL SUS aaa a ate NortuHErn District Farr.—This institution meets at Marysville on the 9th, and continues to the 14th of September, inclusive.

Hhowledge, after baving taken to 8 less extent, in every battle fought with the Federal troops. To the traitors and disunion sympathisers, this one partial -Confederate victory, ‘was a gleam of sunshine breaking through a mass of overshadowing cloud. They are forgetful that an exposed army of 45,000 men fought against 50,000 in their trenches, driving them back a distance of two miles, putting them into disorder, and were on the eve of claiming the: victory, when a reinforcement to the enemy-of 45,000 fresh troops—equal to the entire'force of the Federals—came down upon them like an avalanche, and changed the fortunes of ‘the day. Our loss, even'under this allversity, is represented as less than half that of the enemy. The panic which occurred among the Federal forces, was ‘the real cause of ‘their discomfiture. The rear of an army knows little of what ‘is going on in front. They hear the roar of artillery and see the smoke of battle—that is all. Their nerves have nat yet been strung for the encounter. “They are m a:state of indolent rest; and it is not-until the command is given, ‘Form into rank !—forward !” accompanied by the thrilling strains of martial music, that the soul of the soldier leaps into armor, and is eager for the fray. It was while they were awaiting the order to advance, that the teamsters, civilian spectators of the battle and camp-followers swept past in full retreat, communicating their own cowardly fears to the rear of the Federal army, and creating one of those strange and terrible panics which have often before occurred among the best fighting and best disciplined troops, but the morale of which never could ve aceounted for'by military men. These panics have been very common fm all countries, even among veteran troops. General Vaubois was ordered by Napoleon to defend a certain pass near Verona, with 12,000 men. They were forced into a disorderly retreat by the Austrians. Napoleon repaired hastily to the scene, and by a well directed effort succeeded in arresting the flight and rallying the panic-stricken forces. “Soldiers,” said he, “I am displeased with you. You have allowed yourselves to be driven from positions where a handful of resolute men might have arrested an army. You are no longer French soldiers. ‘Chiof of the Staff—cause it to be written on their standards, ‘They are no longer of the army of Italy! ”— With tears in their eyes these delinquent soldiers asked to be forgiven. The historian adds: “In ‘the next battle Napoleon placed them in the van. ‘Contending against fearful odds, they accomplished all that mortal valor could accomplish— rolling back upon the Austrians the tide of vic‘tory.” At Marengo, Napoleon and Lannes were present encouraging the troops. After nine hours of hard fighting, ‘the destruction of life,” continues the same authority, “was too awful for mortal men to endure. Many divisions of the army broke and fled, crying, ‘All is lost ! Save himself who can!’ A scene of frightful disorder ensued. The whole plain was covered with fugitives, swept like an inundation before the multitudinous Austrians.” Desaix arrived opportunely with a reinforcement of ten thousand men.— In two divisions he and Kellerman charged upon the foe, breaking his ranks into disorder. Napoleon at this juncture rode along the lines of those an retreat, exclaiming, ‘‘My friends, we have re treated far enough. It is now our time to advance.” They did advance, and Marengo, a battle previously lost, was won to the French arms. At Eylau the French troops required to be rallied from a panic. At Austerlitz they several times wavered. And these were veteran troops ; the heroes of a succession of brilliant achievements—upon whom Napoleon relied with an assurance that was seldom betrayed or shaken. On the plains of Lutzen, Napoleon had an army composed chiefly of young conscripts.— They fled in terror from the fire of the Russian batteries. They were subsequently re-formed and won the battle. The troops of the Allies were seized with a panic at Bautzen, and fled towards the forests of Bohemia. They afterwards made a stand and fought determinedly, until compelled to retire before the impetuosity of French valor. A panic seized upon Wellington’s forces at Waterluo. “Many of the regiments were reduced to skeletons, and some, thrown into disorder, were rushing from the field in fugitive bands. The whole rear of the English army now presented a tumultuary scene of confusion, the entire space between Waterloo and Brussels being filled with stragglers and all the debris of a routedarmy.” * * “Just at this critical moment, when the Emperor was giving an order for a simultaneous attack by his whole force, two long dark columns, of thirty thousand each—the united forces of Blucher and Bulow—came pouring over the hills, down upon the torn and bleeding flank of Napoleon’s exhausted troops.” The rebel army at Bull’s Run was already defeated, when Johnston joined his forty-five thousand troops to those of Beauregard, and reversed the fortunes of the day. Thus it will be seen that there are many preeedents for panics. No army, however illustrious its fame, has altogether escaped them. The bravest and and most reliable soldiers have yielded to their demoralizing influence without knowing why or wherefore. While fleeing from a foe who has in many instances ceased to pursue, the scared fugitive will utter a cry of hopeless anguish on being pricked with a brier, who both before and after, has marched in front of deathdealing batteries without wincing so much as a muscle. These panics so fatal in their consequen. ces, show the necessity of having experienced . and able commanders. The soldier must be inspired with confidence, such as a brave officer is always capable of imparting. But an incompetent one is more likely to precipitate catastrophe than to avoid it. We fear there was a bungle of some kind at Bull’s Run. The panic could hardly have been so general, prolonged or cowardly, had Gen. Scott; Gen. Eyon or’ Col. } Segel been present. —-+ @ -— zi APpPoINTMENT.—We are pleased to’ hear that Mr. R. T. Roberts, of Sweetland, has received an appointment in the Mint—a clerkship of some kind, we presume. His efforts in the cause of Republicanism and . ns re SS Spe essen seep Se re ann essen ts nn . must confess that we cannot understand how he can be a Union man, opposed'to coercion, when j coercion alone can save the Union, which re. bellion is doing its utmost'to destroy. George D. Roberts was nominated for State Senator. He runs the coulter of his word-plow pretty ‘deep into the Saxon language, when he uses'the subjoined-: : “This war party, sir, tell us that 'they want to try’the strength of the Government. They must fight battles in vindication of the ‘Constitution. They vindicate the ‘Constitution! As well, sir, might the devil start a crusade against the Christian world in vindication of the Bivle. They claim that their bravery has been doubted, and now adopt the tactics of the prize-ring and the bully to vindicate their valor. These are the arguments they use, sir—‘‘the argument of a fool-to an audience of idiots,” to justify themselves before the enlightened Christian world for their many wicked acts and the destruction of the peace and happiness of this once great and prosperous nation.” The speech of Mr. Roberts, as an entirety. we think will “let him out.” The Assembly ticket consists of R. B. Moyes, E. McSorley, J. W. Coleman and A. A. Olinger. Dick Moyes is a clever fellow, but in bad company. Mr. Olinger was formerly a subscriber ‘to this paper, but discontinued it on account of its strong Union sentiments. For Sheriff—John H. Dixson—personally a worthy gentleman. For Collector—Amos T. Laird. For Recorder—John S. Lambert. For County Clerk—H. Davis. For Treasurer—Samuel McBrown, who didn’t like the Union sentiments of the Press, and discontinued ‘tt. For District Attorney—E. W. Maslin. For Assessor—Dr. O. F. Ciark, a fellow-townsman, ‘and a Northern man with Southern principles. For Public Administrator—J. M. Gray. For County Surveyor—John Ostrom. For Coroner—Dr. E. G. Meck. For Superintendent of Public Schools—Dr. C. T. Overton. For Supervisor, ‘Third District—H. H. Sweet. There, gentlemen, we have given your ticket the benefit of an insertion, free of charge. After the election nothing more will be heard of it. The convention which nominated you, approves the platform of the State Convention of June llth. That Convention resolved that it was “‘opposed to the employment of force by the General Government against the seceded States, for the purpose of compelling obedience and submission to Federal authority.” Mr. Roberts says you are “‘contending for no less than your rights, your liberties, the Constitution and the Union, against the usurpations of Abraham Lincoln.” Unionmen! Ah, indeed! Be careful your efforts to substantiate that proposition does not prove ‘‘the argument of fools to an audience of idiots.” SR Nee ee HvuntinG anp Fisuinc Excursion.=Last Sunday morning Ben. Lippincott, Ira Eaton, Al. Whipple and W. T. Ferguson breakfasted in this place en route for Washoe. They traveled in their own conveyance, and were armed each with a double-barreled shot gun. Ben. Lippin‘cott wishes to examine the Truckee Turnpike route, of which he has heard so much, he being more or less interested im that leading via the Big Trees. The guns were to be used along the road. The party were also provided with fishing tackle ; and every sportsman knows, that if there is game in the forests or trout in the streams, these gentlemen—two of whom, at least, are unrivalled with gun and line—are bound to have a full proportion of it. Such jaunts afford supreme happiness to the lover of nature, and to none more than Ben. Lippincott, Ira Eaton and their companions. ne ane anne ee . ey Cente ss nn SHAMEFUL BUT RETALIATORY.—Christ said, that ‘those who take the sword, shall perish by the sword.” The Marysville Express thinks it “shameful” that Mr. McConnell should be hissed down for exercising the right of free speech at San Francisco. We think sotoo. But the Ex~press will remember that such proceedings are purely retaliatory. The “dimecrats” commenced mob law in 1855, by egging Bates, in front of the Orleans Hotel, Sacramento, and overthrowing the stand from which he spoke. They pursued the same course in this county towards Mr. Tweed, a Republican. Free speech, so long as it is not treasonable, must be maintained. The editorials of the Express are in proof that it is maintained—for they are not always exempt from the exception mentioned. Ot THE VOLUNTEER.—No man should volunteer his services in the ranks of an army unless he intends to fight. He should go into battle fearless of death—believing the chances desperately against him—and escape, merely a fortunate accident. Cowardice exhibited in the face of an enemy, is an unpardonable sin. No high-minded man could ever recover his self-respect, who allowed the secret thought to penetrate his soul. Open timidity is eternal disgrace. It is some consolation nevertheless for the soldier to know, that on a well contested field, the proportion of the slain to the number engaged, is generally small; and that he who manifests the most courage by doing the hardest fighting, is more likely to escape than the idle spectator. It would seem as though his activity were a surety against being hit. He thus dodges the bullets which too often prove effective against a stationary mark. e Lippitr’s ReGiment.—A requsition it is said has been, or is about to be made upon California, for a regiment of infantry and five hundred mounted men, to serve on the Central Overland mail route, as a protection against hostile Iudians. In view of this fact, Col. Lippitt has ordered the men composing his regiment into camp at San Francisco, with the expectation of sailing at an early day and reporting at Government headquarters. Those who have volunteered wiil thus have a chance for immediate duty. Some there are who will jump at the opportunity. Others may feel disappointed on account of the nature of the service, and decline going. A company has been formed in this county. How manywill obey the call to report themselves to Col. Lippitt, remains to be seen. g@eLouis R. Sowers has been appointed a Justice of the Peace for Grass Valley, by his excellent standing as a citizen entitle , the Board of Supervisors to fill the vacancy him to this promotion. j of T. J.

We supposed this disgraceful fact had a limit within the bounds of Accomack, and that the institution of slavery did not necessarily degrade all other classes with whom it came in contact, excepting only wealthiest families, whose means enabled them to go abroad for instructive infor. mation. It seems we were mistaken. The masses over a principal part of the South are . without education. They are not a reading people. All Northern newspaper correspondents . writing from that region, agree in this statement. After the fraternal, social and commercial intercourse of two-thirds of a century with the Northern people, they seem to-day to have as little perception and appreciation of their true character as have the Barolongs of South Africa. They have been ‘told, and religiously believe, all such monstrous fabrications as that the Yankees have commenced a war of subjugation; that they slaughter men, women and children indiscriminately ; that they are determined to overrun the South for the purpose of liberating the negroes‘and enslaving white men; that the North‘ern army is bent on pillage, conflagration and the destruction of femule virtue; that, in fact, no crime is too horrible for it to perpetrate, no excess too infamous for its brutal indulgence. In this manner bad men have worked upon the evil passions of the uninformed, and aroused all that superstitious terror to which illiterate minds is alarmingly subject, and which, this people relying sclely for information wpon the verbal communications of their superiors, are compelled to receive in such magnified and distorted proportions of falsity as may suit the exigencies of the case, or the designs of those conveying it. No power short of actual demonstration, could satisfy them how cruelly they have been deceived. When the facts ae known, as they are certain to be one of these days, the masses of the Southern people will return to their allegiance, and . visit a retributive vengeance upon those who have so shamelessly betrayed them. In the meantime, their almost hopeless ignorance and damaging credulity must be deeply deplored. It contrasts strikingly with the high state of intelligence prevailing North, among all classes and conditions of people, from ‘the highest to the lowest, in the workshop as well as the office of the professional man—among those who are the true nobility of a great nation, and have no idle boasts to make of “chivalry”—a term too often used to hide the defects of vulgarity, and furnish a gloss to the infamy of crime. --@-Farr PremMiums.—In glancing our eye over the list of premiums offered for the exhibition of articles at the approaching Northern District Fair, we have been forcibly struck with the disproportions which it exhibits—the want of adaptation, not only in the amounts offered, but the objects for which they are proposed to be paid. Let us particularize : Mr. A. L. French, of this place, has invented a drilling machine which 1s destined to work a complete revolution in the present mode of tunneling. It will perform four or six times the labor, in piercing solid rock, at less than half the expense now incurred, and thus save thousands of dollars to mining companiesybesides enabling them to complete heavy works in a comparatively brief space of time. For the exhibdition of such a machine, the freight on which, to and from Marysville, would amount to perhaps ten or fifteen dollars, the committce propose to award a framed diploma! Per contra, the lady who sits a horse gracefully, and dashes him around the race track at the greatest speed, is to get $50. The best piano forte is to take $50; the best church organ $50; the best broom $10; the best port monnaie (needle work) $8; for the dest pulling team of six horses, $100; best pea nuts $5. The lists are open for competition to the inventors of a quartz amalgamator, quartz crusher, tunneling machine, mining pump, (elevator model,) water wheel, (driving model,) for models of the riffle box, sluice rake, sluice fork, mining pick, drilling machine and blasting apparatus. Whoever is decided to have exhibited the dest, will be magnanimously rewarded with—a framed diploma! Inventive genius is here rated remarkably high! No doubt there will be a grand struggle among such men as French, Low, Smith (Francis,) Matteson, Dunning, and others, for the great honor of getting that diploma! Naronron’s DEFINITION OF A SOLDIER.— The military man who seeks for .a precedent, need go no further back than to Napoleon. His fame eclipsed everything which went before, and is worthy of imitation by all who come after. In writing to Bernadotte, he gave the following definition of a soldier : “Make no attempt,” said he, ‘‘to come into action with the English. A man is not a soldier. Your National Guards, your young conscripts, led pell-mell, almost without officers, with an artillery scarcely formed, opposed to More’s soldiers, who have met the Grand Army, would certainly be beaten.” go HEENAN REDIVivus.~It is reported tliat John C. Heenan, the American pugilistic champion, who flogged Tom Sayers into his corner, and pulling him out again, struck him a blow or two as finishers, has challenged “all England” for another bout—the stakes to be ten thousand . dollars a side. The challenge is intended more particularly for Jem Mace, who holds the belt, but applies to Hurst, King, or “any other man” who may think proper to accept. The fight is to be on English soil. Heenan makes several ropositions, however, which are enumerated as . fuacwa: “He will stake $10,000 to $3,000, if Mace will come to this country, and fight in Canada; he will give Mace $1,000 to defray his expenses here; or the Boy will take $10,000 to $8,000, and fight in England, if the champion of England will pay Heenan $1,000 to defray his . expenses to that country.” °° Cotp Nieats.—Night before last was the coldest we have ever known in this place, during the month of August. There was a white frost on the ground yesterday morning, and ice on the sidewalks that had been sprinkled on Sunday evening. Dr. Sheets, . who lives several miles below Grass Valley, . informs u§ that there was frost at his place, and we do not know how much further it extended towards the valley. The weather . is now delightful in the daytime, neither too . cold nor too hot.—Nevada Democrat of Tuesday. : LE LL A A a whose detail of the battle of Rich Moun. tain, where Gen. Garnett was killed and . explicit than any yet given. calm survey of the field, and holds the following language with reference to the comparative merits of the Northern and Southern troops: If the men of Rich Mountain, whom our troops conquered, are fair samples ‘of the material of the Southern army, it is absurd to imagine that they can contend successfully with the sons of the North in auy fair field of battle. They must go down before our troops single handed, by squads, hy battalions or by armies as grass falls before the mower. Admitting equality of soul and equal righteousness of cause, for the sake of argument —mere physieal power of equal numbers so greatly preponderates upon our side, ‘that it would be folly for the chivalry to attemptto meet our broad-breasted fellows in a shock of battalions at bayonet charge. They would as inevitably “go dewn” as feebleness must yield to strength. The scious of the “first (fast) families” who constituted the “crack” regiment of Eastern Virginia, under Colonel Pegram, were generally—I may say uniformly —slender and delicate, like young men rear ed in the closet or counting house. The best specimens of physical manhood in their army were mountaineers; but they did not average with ourmen. On the field of battla they displayed courage worthy of American citizeus; Dut they nave iv aumit they reartuliy underrated the spirit and determination of our men. They supposed when they attempted to charge on the Tenth Indiana, that the brave Hoosiers would fly, and that their imperturability, not only astonished, but partiaNy demoralized them. But it is very evident that many fought heartlessly. I have conversed with many privates who confess that it was difficult to fite‘on the old flag. Two-thirds of them will never pull trigger again in hostility to the “banner of beauty and glory.” ~~ TEATS Atmos A Fire.—The domicil of brother Waite, of the Nevada Journal, came near being destroyed, on Sunday evening last, through the carelessness of a young female domestic throwing the match, with which she had just lighted a lamp, into a part of the kitchen in which there were many combustible matters. Mr. Waite, who was sitting with his family on the porch, detected the smell of smoke, and fortunately in time to prevent the entire destruction of the building. Asit was, bis hands were much burnt in the efforts to subdue the flames, which he succeeded in doing with but little damage to the premises.— Transcript.

His knowledge of these subjects, as of most others of State policy, is thorough, and if he is elected, will enable Mr. Conness to discharge the duties of Governor in a wise and we hope profitable manner to the people. Mr. Edgerton is a briiliant and graceful orator, ite made a fine impression. His discussion of the State Rights dectrine was a complete refutation of the Southern theory, and ‘bis appeal in bebalf of the Unon as effective as it was thrilling and beautiful. eee Cou. Warren.—This gentleman, editor of the California Farmer, is on a tour of agricultural, horticultural and mining inyeati gation through the nfountains. He dropped in upon us the other day, and expresses himself highly pleased with the looks of the soil for grape culture. ife thinks if some hardy ‘oereign variety of the grape were introduced, undoubted success would attend its growth. This subject is worthy of being looked after by those interested in the cultivation of the soil. entitled to the liberty of free speech in the largest proper degree. There isa limit, however, even among a free people, beyond which it is sometimes imprudent to go. The man whocalls another a liar, does so at the risk of being knocked down for his temerity. The assailant of personal reputation is in constant danger of attack. Bravery and courtesy both have rules for the government of human action. While the country is engaged ina war which every loyal ‘heart sanctions—a war to preserve the existence of the National Government, and secure the permanent welfare of its citizens—he who secretly or openly denounces that Government, attempts to discourage its defenders, and utters words of sympathy for its armed enemies—not only violates all the propricties of free speech, but renders himself obnoxious to the suspicion cf treason. If a Northern man in one of the #>-called Confederate States, were even to hint his disapprobation of the Jeff. Davis Government, he would be hung up or shot down like a dog. We propose no harsh measures ; but there is a quiet kind of indignation which can easily silence these offensive declaimers. Tuey Cuuckir.—We have but few avowed secessionists in this immediate vicinity, although as the Illinois woman remarked about the musquitoes, “there's a lot on’em jest beyand”—further up the Ridge, for instance. They comported themselves respectfully, on bearing of the repulse at Bull's Run, permitting only a few broad grins and heariconsoling chuckles to escape them. The loyal have become doubly emboldened and defiant. Were the scene of conflict near at hand, the town would be literally emptied of population to swell the recruiting ranks. “The Government must and shall be sustained,” is the common expression of all true patriots, siete tee = (37 We have been handed an article to republish, concerning the agricultural resources of the South, presenting them ina most flattering view.

Hhowledge, after baving taken to 8 less extent, in every battle fought with the Federal troops. To the traitors and disunion sympathisers, this one partial -Confederate victory, ‘was a gleam of sunshine breaking through a mass of overshadowing cloud. They are forgetful that an exposed army of 45,000 men fought against 50,000 in their trenches, driving them back a distance of two miles, putting them into disorder, and were on the eve of claiming the: victory, when a reinforcement to the enemy-of 45,000 fresh troops—equal to the entire'force of the Federals—came down upon them like an avalanche, and changed the fortunes of ‘the day. Our loss, even'under this allversity, is represented as less than half that of the enemy. The panic which occurred among the Federal forces, was ‘the real cause of ‘their discomfiture. The rear of an army knows little of what ‘is going on in front. They hear the roar of artillery and see the smoke of battle—that is all. Their nerves have nat yet been strung for the encounter. “They are m a:state of indolent rest; and it is not-until the command is given, ‘Form into rank !—forward !” accompanied by the thrilling strains of martial music, that the soul of the soldier leaps into armor, and is eager for the fray. It was while they were awaiting the order to advance, that the teamsters, civilian spectators of the battle and camp-followers swept past in full retreat, communicating their own cowardly fears to the rear of the Federal army, and creating one of those strange and terrible panics which have often before occurred among the best fighting and best disciplined troops, but the morale of which never could ve aceounted for'by military men. These panics have been very common fm all countries, even among veteran troops. General Vaubois was ordered by Napoleon to defend a certain pass near Verona, with 12,000 men. They were forced into a disorderly retreat by the Austrians. Napoleon repaired hastily to the scene, and by a well directed effort succeeded in arresting the flight and rallying the panic-stricken forces. “Soldiers,” said he, “I am displeased with you. You have allowed yourselves to be driven from positions where a handful of resolute men might have arrested an army. You are no longer French soldiers. ‘Chiof of the Staff—cause it to be written on their standards, ‘They are no longer of the army of Italy! ”— With tears in their eyes these delinquent soldiers asked to be forgiven. The historian adds: “In ‘the next battle Napoleon placed them in the van. ‘Contending against fearful odds, they accomplished all that mortal valor could accomplish— rolling back upon the Austrians the tide of vic‘tory.” At Marengo, Napoleon and Lannes were present encouraging the troops. After nine hours of hard fighting, ‘the destruction of life,” continues the same authority, “was too awful for mortal men to endure. Many divisions of the army broke and fled, crying, ‘All is lost ! Save himself who can!’ A scene of frightful disorder ensued. The whole plain was covered with fugitives, swept like an inundation before the multitudinous Austrians.” Desaix arrived opportunely with a reinforcement of ten thousand men.— In two divisions he and Kellerman charged upon the foe, breaking his ranks into disorder. Napoleon at this juncture rode along the lines of those an retreat, exclaiming, ‘‘My friends, we have re treated far enough. It is now our time to advance.” They did advance, and Marengo, a battle previously lost, was won to the French arms. At Eylau the French troops required to be rallied from a panic. At Austerlitz they several times wavered. And these were veteran troops ; the heroes of a succession of brilliant achievements—upon whom Napoleon relied with an assurance that was seldom betrayed or shaken. On the plains of Lutzen, Napoleon had an army composed chiefly of young conscripts.— They fled in terror from the fire of the Russian batteries. They were subsequently re-formed and won the battle. The troops of the Allies were seized with a panic at Bautzen, and fled towards the forests of Bohemia. They afterwards made a stand and fought determinedly, until compelled to retire before the impetuosity of French valor. A panic seized upon Wellington’s forces at Waterluo. “Many of the regiments were reduced to skeletons, and some, thrown into disorder, were rushing from the field in fugitive bands. The whole rear of the English army now presented a tumultuary scene of confusion, the entire space between Waterloo and Brussels being filled with stragglers and all the debris of a routedarmy.” * * “Just at this critical moment, when the Emperor was giving an order for a simultaneous attack by his whole force, two long dark columns, of thirty thousand each—the united forces of Blucher and Bulow—came pouring over the hills, down upon the torn and bleeding flank of Napoleon’s exhausted troops.” The rebel army at Bull’s Run was already defeated, when Johnston joined his forty-five thousand troops to those of Beauregard, and reversed the fortunes of the day. Thus it will be seen that there are many preeedents for panics. No army, however illustrious its fame, has altogether escaped them. The bravest and and most reliable soldiers have yielded to their demoralizing influence without knowing why or wherefore. While fleeing from a foe who has in many instances ceased to pursue, the scared fugitive will utter a cry of hopeless anguish on being pricked with a brier, who both before and after, has marched in front of deathdealing batteries without wincing so much as a muscle. These panics so fatal in their consequen. ces, show the necessity of having experienced . and able commanders. The soldier must be inspired with confidence, such as a brave officer is always capable of imparting. But an incompetent one is more likely to precipitate catastrophe than to avoid it. We fear there was a bungle of some kind at Bull’s Run. The panic could hardly have been so general, prolonged or cowardly, had Gen. Scott; Gen. Eyon or’ Col. } Segel been present. —-+ @ -— zi APpPoINTMENT.—We are pleased to’ hear that Mr. R. T. Roberts, of Sweetland, has received an appointment in the Mint—a clerkship of some kind, we presume. His efforts in the cause of Republicanism and . ns re SS Spe essen seep Se re ann essen ts nn . must confess that we cannot understand how he can be a Union man, opposed'to coercion, when j coercion alone can save the Union, which re. bellion is doing its utmost'to destroy. George D. Roberts was nominated for State Senator. He runs the coulter of his word-plow pretty ‘deep into the Saxon language, when he uses'the subjoined-: : “This war party, sir, tell us that 'they want to try’the strength of the Government. They must fight battles in vindication of the ‘Constitution. They vindicate the ‘Constitution! As well, sir, might the devil start a crusade against the Christian world in vindication of the Bivle. They claim that their bravery has been doubted, and now adopt the tactics of the prize-ring and the bully to vindicate their valor. These are the arguments they use, sir—‘‘the argument of a fool-to an audience of idiots,” to justify themselves before the enlightened Christian world for their many wicked acts and the destruction of the peace and happiness of this once great and prosperous nation.” The speech of Mr. Roberts, as an entirety. we think will “let him out.” The Assembly ticket consists of R. B. Moyes, E. McSorley, J. W. Coleman and A. A. Olinger. Dick Moyes is a clever fellow, but in bad company. Mr. Olinger was formerly a subscriber ‘to this paper, but discontinued it on account of its strong Union sentiments. For Sheriff—John H. Dixson—personally a worthy gentleman. For Collector—Amos T. Laird. For Recorder—John S. Lambert. For County Clerk—H. Davis. For Treasurer—Samuel McBrown, who didn’t like the Union sentiments of the Press, and discontinued ‘tt. For District Attorney—E. W. Maslin. For Assessor—Dr. O. F. Ciark, a fellow-townsman, ‘and a Northern man with Southern principles. For Public Administrator—J. M. Gray. For County Surveyor—John Ostrom. For Coroner—Dr. E. G. Meck. For Superintendent of Public Schools—Dr. C. T. Overton. For Supervisor, ‘Third District—H. H. Sweet. There, gentlemen, we have given your ticket the benefit of an insertion, free of charge. After the election nothing more will be heard of it. The convention which nominated you, approves the platform of the State Convention of June llth. That Convention resolved that it was “‘opposed to the employment of force by the General Government against the seceded States, for the purpose of compelling obedience and submission to Federal authority.” Mr. Roberts says you are “‘contending for no less than your rights, your liberties, the Constitution and the Union, against the usurpations of Abraham Lincoln.” Unionmen! Ah, indeed! Be careful your efforts to substantiate that proposition does not prove ‘‘the argument of fools to an audience of idiots.” SR Nee ee HvuntinG anp Fisuinc Excursion.=Last Sunday morning Ben. Lippincott, Ira Eaton, Al. Whipple and W. T. Ferguson breakfasted in this place en route for Washoe. They traveled in their own conveyance, and were armed each with a double-barreled shot gun. Ben. Lippin‘cott wishes to examine the Truckee Turnpike route, of which he has heard so much, he being more or less interested im that leading via the Big Trees. The guns were to be used along the road. The party were also provided with fishing tackle ; and every sportsman knows, that if there is game in the forests or trout in the streams, these gentlemen—two of whom, at least, are unrivalled with gun and line—are bound to have a full proportion of it. Such jaunts afford supreme happiness to the lover of nature, and to none more than Ben. Lippincott, Ira Eaton and their companions. ne ane anne ee . ey Cente ss nn SHAMEFUL BUT RETALIATORY.—Christ said, that ‘those who take the sword, shall perish by the sword.” The Marysville Express thinks it “shameful” that Mr. McConnell should be hissed down for exercising the right of free speech at San Francisco. We think sotoo. But the Ex~press will remember that such proceedings are purely retaliatory. The “dimecrats” commenced mob law in 1855, by egging Bates, in front of the Orleans Hotel, Sacramento, and overthrowing the stand from which he spoke. They pursued the same course in this county towards Mr. Tweed, a Republican. Free speech, so long as it is not treasonable, must be maintained. The editorials of the Express are in proof that it is maintained—for they are not always exempt from the exception mentioned. Ot THE VOLUNTEER.—No man should volunteer his services in the ranks of an army unless he intends to fight. He should go into battle fearless of death—believing the chances desperately against him—and escape, merely a fortunate accident. Cowardice exhibited in the face of an enemy, is an unpardonable sin. No high-minded man could ever recover his self-respect, who allowed the secret thought to penetrate his soul. Open timidity is eternal disgrace. It is some consolation nevertheless for the soldier to know, that on a well contested field, the proportion of the slain to the number engaged, is generally small; and that he who manifests the most courage by doing the hardest fighting, is more likely to escape than the idle spectator. It would seem as though his activity were a surety against being hit. He thus dodges the bullets which too often prove effective against a stationary mark. e Lippitr’s ReGiment.—A requsition it is said has been, or is about to be made upon California, for a regiment of infantry and five hundred mounted men, to serve on the Central Overland mail route, as a protection against hostile Iudians. In view of this fact, Col. Lippitt has ordered the men composing his regiment into camp at San Francisco, with the expectation of sailing at an early day and reporting at Government headquarters. Those who have volunteered wiil thus have a chance for immediate duty. Some there are who will jump at the opportunity. Others may feel disappointed on account of the nature of the service, and decline going. A company has been formed in this county. How manywill obey the call to report themselves to Col. Lippitt,

We supposed this disgraceful fact had a limit within the bounds of Accomack, and that the institution of slavery did not necessarily degrade all other classes with whom it came in contact, excepting only wealthiest families, whose means enabled them to go abroad for instructive infor. mation. It seems we were mistaken. The masses over a principal part of the South are . without education. They are not a reading people. All Northern newspaper correspondents . writing from that region, agree in this statement. After the fraternal, social and commercial intercourse of two-thirds of a century with the Northern people, they seem to-day to have as little perception and appreciation of their true character as have the Barolongs of South Africa. They have been ‘told, and religiously believe, all such monstrous fabrications as that the Yankees have commenced a war of subjugation; that they slaughter men, women and children indiscriminately ; that they are determined to overrun the South for the purpose of liberating the negroes‘and enslaving white men; that the North‘ern army is bent on pillage, conflagration and the destruction of femule virtue; that, in fact, no crime is too horrible for it to perpetrate, no excess too infamous for its brutal indulgence. In this manner bad men have worked upon the evil passions of the uninformed, and aroused all that superstitious terror to which illiterate minds is alarmingly subject, and which, this people relying sclely for information wpon the verbal communications of their superiors, are compelled to receive in such magnified and distorted proportions of falsity as may suit the exigencies of the case, or the designs of those conveying it. No power short of actual demonstration, could satisfy them how cruelly they have been deceived. When the facts ae known, as they are certain to be one of these days, the masses of the Southern people will return to their allegiance, and . visit a retributive vengeance upon those who have so shamelessly betrayed them. In the meantime, their almost hopeless ignorance and damaging credulity must be deeply deplored. It contrasts strikingly with the high state of intelligence prevailing North, among all classes and conditions of people, from ‘the highest to the lowest, in the workshop as well as the office of the professional man—among those who are the true nobility of a great nation, and have no idle boasts to make of “chivalry”—a term too often used to hide the defects of vulgarity, and furnish a gloss to the infamy of crime. --@-Farr PremMiums.—In glancing our eye over the list of premiums offered for the exhibition of articles at the approaching Northern District Fair, we have been forcibly struck with the disproportions which it exhibits—the want of adaptation, not only in the amounts offered, but the objects for which they are proposed to be paid. Let us particularize : Mr. A. L. French, of this place, has invented a drilling machine which 1s destined to work a complete revolution in the present mode of tunneling. It will perform four or six times the labor, in piercing solid rock, at less than half the expense now incurred, and thus save thousands of dollars to mining companiesybesides enabling them to complete heavy works in a comparatively brief space of time. For the exhibdition of such a machine, the freight on which, to and from Marysville, would amount to perhaps ten or fifteen dollars, the committce propose to award a framed diploma! Per contra, the lady who sits a horse gracefully, and dashes him around the race track at the greatest speed, is to get $50. The best piano forte is to take $50; the best church organ $50; the best broom $10; the best port monnaie (needle work) $8; for the dest pulling team of six horses, $100; best pea nuts $5. The lists are open for competition to the inventors of a quartz amalgamator, quartz crusher, tunneling machine, mining pump, (elevator model,) water wheel, (driving model,) for models of the riffle box, sluice rake, sluice fork, mining pick, drilling machine and blasting apparatus. Whoever is decided to have exhibited the dest, will be magnanimously rewarded with—a framed diploma! Inventive genius is here rated remarkably high! No doubt there will be a grand struggle among such men as French, Low, Smith (Francis,) Matteson, Dunning, and others, for the great honor of getting that diploma! Naronron’s DEFINITION OF A SOLDIER.— The military man who seeks for .a precedent, need go no further back than to Napoleon. His fame eclipsed everything which went before, and is worthy of imitation by all who come after. In writing to Bernadotte, he gave the following definition of a soldier : “Make no attempt,” said he, ‘‘to come into action with the English. A man is not a soldier. Your National Guards, your young conscripts, led pell-mell, almost without officers, with an artillery scarcely formed, opposed to More’s soldiers, who have met the Grand Army, would certainly be beaten.” go HEENAN REDIVivus.~It is reported tliat John C. Heenan, the American pugilistic champion, who flogged Tom Sayers into his corner, and pulling him out again, struck him a blow or two as finishers, has challenged “all England” for another bout—the stakes to be ten thousand . dollars a side. The challenge is intended more particularly for Jem Mace, who holds the belt, but applies to Hurst, King, or “any other man” who may think proper to accept. The fight is to be on English soil. Heenan makes several ropositions, however, which are enumerated as . fuacwa: “He will stake $10,000 to $3,000, if Mace will come to this country, and fight in Canada; he will give Mace $1,000 to defray his expenses here; or the Boy will take $10,000 to $8,000, and fight in England, if the champion of England will pay Heenan $1,000 to defray his . expenses to that country.” °° Cotp Nieats.—Night before last was the coldest we have ever known in this place, during the month of August. There was a white frost on the ground yesterday morning, and ice on the sidewalks that had been sprinkled on Sunday evening. Dr. Sheets, . who lives several miles below Grass Valley, . informs u§ that there was frost at his place, and we do not know how much further it extended towards the valley. The weather . is now delightful in the daytime, neither too . cold nor too hot.—Nevada Democrat of Tuesday. : LE LL A A a whose detail of the battle of Rich Moun. tain, where Gen. Garnett was killed and . explicit than any yet given. calm survey of the field, and holds the following language with reference to the comparative merits of the Northern and Southern troops: If the men of Rich Mountain, whom our troops conquered, are fair samples ‘of the material of the Southern army, it is absurd to imagine that they can contend successfully with the sons of the North in auy fair field of battle. They must go down before our troops single handed, by squads, hy battalions or by armies as grass falls before the mower. Admitting equality of soul and equal righteousness of cause, for the sake of argument —mere physieal power of equal numbers so greatly preponderates upon our side, ‘that it would be folly for the chivalry to attemptto meet our broad-breasted fellows in a shock of battalions at bayonet charge. They would as inevitably “go dewn” as feebleness must yield to strength. The scious of the “first (fast) families” who constituted the “crack” regiment of Eastern Virginia, under Colonel Pegram, were generally—I may say uniformly —slender and delicate, like young men rear ed in the closet or counting house. The best specimens of physical manhood in their army were mountaineers; but they did not average with ourmen. On the field of battla they displayed courage worthy of American citizeus; Dut they nave iv aumit they reartuliy underrated the spirit and determination of our men. They supposed when they attempted to charge on the Tenth Indiana, that the brave Hoosiers would fly, and that their imperturability, not only astonished, but partiaNy demoralized them. But it is very evident that many fought heartlessly. I have conversed with many privates who confess that it was difficult to fite‘on the old flag. Two-thirds of them will never pull trigger again in hostility to the “banner of beauty and glory.” ~~ TEATS Atmos A Fire.—The domicil of brother Waite, of the Nevada Journal, came near being destroyed, on Sunday evening last, through the carelessness of a young female domestic throwing the match, with which she had just lighted a lamp, into a part of the kitchen in which there were many combustible matters. Mr. Waite, who was sitting with his family on the porch, detected the smell of smoke, and fortunately in time to prevent the entire destruction of the building. Asit was, bis hands were much burnt in the efforts to subdue the flames, which he succeeded in doing with but little damage to the premises.— Transcript.
