SBR, as Office, No. 36 Commercial street. NEVADA CITY. —_—-——>---— THURSDAY MORNING, OCT. 4th. WEW POLITICAL ISSUES. There are some politicians, sv confirmed in tho sophistries of partyism, that no circumstances of time or place can shake them Joose from their prejudices, which, like the Old Man of the Sea, in the Arabic fable of Sinbad, bestride the necks of their intellects with the tenacity of Death. There are Democrats and Republicans among us, who, were they to wake up in China or Japan, would continue to rant about Democracy and Republicaniem as glibly asever, without save dreaming that they were making dookeys of themselves. It seems semewhat marvelous that, in'a time like this, when our once -be‘Joved Republic is plunged in the Maelstrom of rebellion, Américan citizena can abstract their minds from the overwhelming horror of the nioment, and bestow.them upon the ghadowless platitudes of old party issues. What has-Democracy or Republicanism—in the modern partisan sense in which those terms are now employed—got to do with the crushing out of rebellion and the reconstruction of the American Union * Nota whit more than have the Arianism and Gnosticism of early Christianity. The terrible realities, no¥ ressing upon the nation, indicate but a single question, that ‘has but two sides. It is “UNION or "{SUNION 7” The last intelligence from Ohio shows that . . the men of sense in that state, heretofore belonging to the Union Democratic and Republican organizations, have threwn down the division fence that lately stood between them, and united their efforts and their for. tunes in the cause of their country. A joint Convention of these two recently antagonistie parties has been held and a state ticket nominated, comprising the best talent and highest patriotism of each. This is the Union Party of Ohio, and it will be overwhelmingly triumphant, for its enemies, the Secessjonists and Abolicionists, can not and will not actin concert. The principles and objects of this Union Party are perfectly simple.— They involve no political abstrusities, no metaphysical abstractions; they merely as sert that the “ Amerie*n Union must be preserved,” though at the price of blood. Why can not the true friends of the Union, in this our California, act upon this example? The Cincinnati Platform became a solemn ‘mockery, long since, at. Charleston and Balti, more, and the Chicago Platform is rapidly being swept into oblivion by the torrent of new ideas which Secession has set flowing. There is a prospect that like phase of politics will be inaugurated in New York and a majority of the non-slave-holding states, fitting them to battle in a common cause with the Unionists of Kentucky, Maryland, and Missouri, and indeed with southern Unionists whereverfound. The lesson, thus set by. her elder sisters, California might follow with profit. a (8 The Eastern correspondence of the San Francisco Morning Call, furvishes pos. itive evidence, from the Charleston (9. C.) Mercury, of the total wreck (before reported) of the privateer Jeff. Davis. “PLUMED RIDERS OF THE DESERT.” — A regiment of Choctaws, one regiment of Chicknanwa, «battalion of Seminoles and a company of Creeks, all under the command of General D. H. Cooper and Captain Albert Pike, the Southern papers say, are about to enter Kanaas to fight for the rebel cause. (e There are two companies at Los Angoles waiting to be mustered into the service), but they desire to be dragoons, and the eavalry corps is full.

The population was then estimated at three millions ; as we have now ‘upwards of thirty millions, » debt of $500;000,000 now ,would be in the same proportion. But the wealth and productive resources of the country have increased vastly beyond the ratio of population increase. Therefore a debt of 4 thousand millions upon the country now would not be so onerous as was the seventy-five millions at that time.

On A TERRIBLE Parson IN BATTLE.—We have about come.to the conclusion that the war correspondents for the Southern papers can beat those of the North. A correspondent of the Memphis Appeal says: ee “Parson Rippleten, a Methodist preacher, and Captain. of a Virginia Company,.performed prodigies of valor at the first takiny of Sherman's battery, (for it was taken, then lost, then taken again.). He cut the throats of the horses, and then engaged Lieutenant Sherinan in a hand to hand conflict with sabres. After a ten minutes’ fight—both being accomplished swordsmen—he sévered Sherman’s head from his body at one blow.” We had a pleasant conversation with General Sherman in our office recently, and he did not appear to be aware that he had been beheaded. At any rate, he did not allude to the somewhat. interesting event. Possibly, however, his memory may have been affected by the operation, fur we cannot suppose the Southern parson would exaggerate.—Providence Journal. “No Step BACKWARD.”'-—The motto of one of the Illinois regiments is,“ We take no step backward, 80 help us God!” Buttler, in a late speech, said : “Upon one occasion a panic overtook our troops, but I do not hesitate to say that. until some man shall show me troops who have never been overtaken by «# panic, I shall net beheve that the fact is evidence of a-avant of courage ; and hereafter with our-troops, backed by the navy and our _fathful ally of the North, Jack Frost, wtio shall come and clear away themalaria of the South, we shall march southward, as-I said’here not many weeks ago; ftom this place, and there shall be no footand Gen. shall have that which the Declaration of Independence says, and which the Secessionists quote, ‘ The right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.’ ” Goop on Bears.—Colonel N. E. White sides, late Speaker of the House, is said to have shot a grizzly on the Coast Range lately, weighing 1,873) pounds, and is very proud of the exploit. The SacramentoUnion expresses a doubt about the weight of the varmint. te The ‘route for a railroad from Virginia City to Carson ity, Nevada Territory, ia being surveyed. Mr. D_B.
