iB Ea q ] 4 5 + ne IO OT THURSDAY MORNING, SEPT. 12th. ‘ENGLISH SYMPATHY. — “phere is no doubt that a large portion of ~ the English péople has teken strong grounds against the American Government in its present contest withthe Southern rebellion _ Bat it is apparent from. the speeches and articles of their.leading men and journals, who take that side, that they are actuated . more by jealousy of our strength, and hatred of our free: institutions, than. by a fair and just constraction of the causes of our existing difficulties. Among the aristocratic classes of English society there is, and always has been, a deep seated condemnation of the extent to which the democratic principle bas been carried in the United States ; and our Government has been intensely disliked by those classes, because it has, heretofore, been able to assert the dignity of that prineple, with the united’ voice of a powerful nation, in the face of the Kings and Cabinets of Europe. As long 46 we re. mained a united and prosperous people, with law enforced and order maintained, and every element of wealth and power and happiness rapidly developing, it took a great deal of impudence and assurance to tell the masses of other countries that -no government could be maintained which was based upon the equality of every citizen. They knew, also, that a few more years of continued success would give such abundant proof of the truth of our political ideas that the judgment of the world would be entered in favor of democracy, and mankind throughout all civilized tations, would no longer listen to old worn out theories, the belief in which has enabled aristocracy to retain its privileges. Our power has been such that we have been feared by the friends “of monareby in every corner of the earth. European diplomacy has scarcely been able to stick its nose into.the affairs of any portion of the American continent ;~and—our enemies did not know but that the next time the people of an European nation rose up to shake off their shackles, they might receive from the shores‘of the New World the assistance of a more powerful friend to freedom than tyranny ever bad in the Old. But with our people divided into distinct, and, perhaps, hostile nations, the case will be very different. Blackwood’s Magazine treats disunion as accomplished, and chuckels over the prospect. It says that, nov, instead of exdibiting what it calls our “ insolence” abroad, we will have a powerful neighbor to look after at home. But, although, these are the feelings of a large portion of the aristocracy of England, we think it appears very clearly that the masaes of the English people sincerely deplore our present difficulties. Whatever may be our fate as a nation, they will rejoice at our prosperity and weep at; dur misfortunes. . _seopeqpn ener —aiasetio= DmsTRICT ATTORNEY OF SIERRA COUNTv.—-On looking over the returns-of Sierra County, we see that Mr. Samuel Davidson has been elected District Attorney of Sierra County, on the Republican ticket. Mr. D. is a brother of our fellow townsman, Wm, H. Davidson, and is well known here by a large number of friends as a sociable and in‘telligent gentleman. His election by the -eitizens of Sierra County, where he has been practising law for several years, proves that he has been appreciated by those who know him best. ; Tur ELection.—The Marysville Express, uf yesterday, contains a dispatch from San Franciseo, which says, ‘The contest will be sery close between Conness and MeConnell. Monterey gives Conness some hundred votes over McConnell, instead of that amount in favor of McConnell over Conness. The best of politica) judges say Couness will beat McConnell, but not more than two hundred votes. : ty" Mr. Sullivan, residing on Keller street, in Petaluma, says the Argus, has an apple tree of this year’s planting, from which he gathered ripe fruit several weeks since ; and the tree blooming anew, is now ladened with ts second erop, whieh baa :already attained the size of cherries. re" “* You may depend upon me wife; I give you my word.” =” «J bad rather you woult sometimes keep . air’ The Baraing Geanscip . the hands of rapacious sharks.

San Frahciseo seems to be kept in continual trouble to guard its water front from raseally specutators have made a dead set against the Legislature to get bulkhead bills passed, giving them control of the whole water front of San Francisco, and making the whole State tributary to them fora couple generations, and on one occasion succeeded in getting their measures as far as the Governor, who nipped their budding hopes. But the favorite method,and apparently the most ‘successful one, is to fasten clauses upon swamp and overflowed larid bills, which may pass without attracting attention, the. legis. jators thinking as much of, the bill affecting: the moon as San Franciseo, and then seizing on the water front as overflowed State lands, intended in the bill. ‘The latest scheme which some able lawyers believe to. be, succéssful, is built upon an act passed in May last, giving a right of way to railroad companies now organized or which may be organized under the att, to’ locate, construct and maintain their roads over and through the swamp and overflowed lands of the State, and authorizing the company to construct heavy embankments or other structure to facilitate-the use of the same,not exceeding two’ hundred feet in width. _ Under this actin August last a company was organized in San Francisco, and its-articles of incorporation are on file in the Seeretary of States office, with a capital stock of $4,000,000, and also its plans and surYeys, lociting a railroad from Greenwich street to Hunter's Point, and this company now claim the whole water frent of San Francisco two hundred feet wide under this act ! ~The scheme steals the whole water front under pretence of building an impossible and absurd road, and is sublime in its audacity and villainy. We-do’ not propose to discuss the legal ments of the claim of the corporators, but it must be admitted that the Legislature never designed any such construction of its act, or such whelesale. robbery of San Francisco. te" The San Franciseo Evening Journal says: We paid a visit fo the steamer Nevada and found a crowd of workmen of all descriptions busily engaged in pushing forward the improvements and repairs on this tavorite boat as fast as possible. The forward projection of the hurricane deck has been materially cut down, so as to catch far less wind than hefore. Netting is being put around the entire upper or promenade deck, fore and aft, adding greatly to the safety of tbe juvenile passengers. That part of the main deck formerly occupied by the boilers is now enclosed, making-a fine room for storing freight.

RSs Ses : Drunken Inptans.—On Tuesday last, several drunken, brawling, staggering Indians ‘were to be seen in our streets. It is a burning shame that the villianous stuffshoukd be deait out to these poor creatures.—Grass Valley National. We have seen several similar cases within afew months. One Digger struck us for. eibly that he had been drinking camphene, by his actions. —_—_——_ > --te An unscrupulous wag pronounces the Bull Run fight « sad case of M:nassassination. OO Toucnime InctpentT.—A staff officer from Charleston, engaged in the battle of the 21st of July, says: : i “T rode out the day after the battle to _ view they round, and passed piles of dead in varrous positions. Under a-large tree I saw a body lying, very handsomely dressed, with a fancy sword, anda handkerchief over the face. and removed the handkerchief, and saw one of the handaomest facea I ever met with, of a bey not more than twelve or fourteen years old. His appearance and dress indicated his high social position; probably he was a temporary aid to some general officer. To ascertain who he was, I examined his pockets and found a Testament, m which was written : «James Simmons. New Yerk. From his loving Mother. My son, remember thy Creator in the days of thy youth.’ I wished very much totake the bedy away, but I was six miles from quarters, on horseback, and it was impossfble.

Morrison, Rob’t Morrow and Sol. Lewis, all former residents of Nevada, but now living in-Washoe; arrived in town night before ast, on a visit to their poor friends. They all look as if they had had something to eat up there besides slap jacks and fried pork, and our friend George, in particular, looks as if he could give the Benicia Boy a hard tussle for thd champion’s belt. George bas made a strike in the Yellow Jacket, a fact at which his numerous friends will rejoice, and no enemies grieve, for he has no enemies. We learn from them that the Henness road is traveled to an extent of which we had no idea. ‘They counted on the road eighty-two heavy teams, tbree pack trains, besides aj number of horsemen and light vehicles. We have never entertained a doubt this road, if once finished, would Become popular with teamsters and travelers, for nature has done more for it than for any mountain road we ever saw. It is not yet as good aé it can be made, but a very small amount of labor, which will doubtless be done before next winter, wilf make it> the favorite way to Washoe for a large portion of the traveling community. . ses wT We learn that a letter has been received m this city from Mr. George Hearst, dated at St. Louis, Mo., in which he says that he was placed under arrest by the Federa! authorities at that place, on account of alleged ‘seditious language. In former letters written by him, Mr. Hearst represented Misgouti as an-intelerable place fora neutralnan tu jive in. Indeed, such a thing as neutrality was out of the question, neither Unionists or Secessionigta ‘allowing a man to occupy widdle ground. He must be for them, else he is* against them. Mr. Hearst, it appears, expressed opinions in St. Louis deemed seditious by the authorities there, and hence his arrest. In giving vent to-his opinions, he did not probably reafize the effects of martiallaw, as he never before witnessed the workings of that institution. Mr. Hearst, as our citizens well know, is anythng but a bad or dangerous man, and we hope he will be allowed to return to Washve, where he can employ his time more profitably than in meddling with politics. DECRIVED BY APPEARANCE.— A tertain newspaper proprietor, whose place of basiness is on M——t street,. and whose name noted for careless ecceutricity in dress, and is sometimes mistuken for a man~in quite another condition of life, A few nights since, he heard ef the arrival of an old friend, a ship Captain, from New York. Rushing at once to the wharf, he found his friend who was just going ashore. Wishing to be recognized before speaking, he took off bis hat and stood bareheaded and silent in the sun, leoking somewhat like the picture of Efyjuh the Prophet in the wilderness. Fancy his feelings when his old frieud _ fuiling.to recognize him, quietly took out a quarter ofa dollar, and with a look of intense,pity, dropped it into the extended hat of the supposed applicant for alms. That quarter was spent . tor whiskey, it was.—S. F. Herald. } te A correspondent of the Richmond Enquirer furnishes the following interesting account of a visit to the battle field : “The writer of this recently passed over the seene of the battle of the 2ist, near Ball Run. Itis gratifying to find, contrary to rumors which have gained some circulation, that the dead, not only of our own army, but also of the enemy, have all been decently buried. In the whole area of that terrible onset, no human corpse, and neteven a mangled limb, was to be seen. The earth had received them,all, and so far as the haman combatants. were concerned, nothing remained to tell of those who had fallen victims ofthe shock of battl, save the mounds of freah earth which showed where they Had been laid away in their last sleep.” a te’ The Texan rebels have established several cannen foundmes, and. are making pieces from Arizona copper. te The net proceeds of the benefit ball of Protection Hose Co., No. 1, Grass Valley, was about $250.

OO Toucnime InctpentT.—A staff officer from Charleston, engaged in the battle of the 21st of July, says: : i “T rode out the day after the battle to _ view they round, and passed piles of dead in varrous positions. Under a-large tree I saw a body lying, very handsomely dressed, with a fancy sword, anda handkerchief over the face. and removed the handkerchief, and saw one of the handaomest facea I ever met with, of a bey not more than twelve or fourteen years old. His appearance and dress indicated his high social position; probably he was a temporary aid to some general officer. To ascertain who he was, I examined his pockets and found a Testament, m which was written : «James Simmons. New Yerk. From his loving Mother. My son, remember thy Creator in the days of thy youth.’ I wished very much totake the bedy away, but I was six miles from quarters, on horseback, and it was impossfble.

Morrison, Rob’t Morrow and Sol. Lewis, all former residents of Nevada, but now living in-Washoe; arrived in town night before ast, on a visit to their poor friends. They all look as if they had had something to eat up there besides slap jacks and fried pork, and our friend George, in particular, looks as if he could give the Benicia Boy a hard tussle for thd champion’s belt. George bas made a strike in the Yellow Jacket, a fact at which his numerous friends will rejoice, and no enemies grieve, for he has no enemies. We learn from them that the Henness road is traveled to an extent of which we had no idea. ‘They counted on the road eighty-two heavy teams, tbree pack trains, besides aj number of horsemen and light vehicles. We have never entertained a doubt this road, if once finished, would Become popular with teamsters and travelers, for nature has done

more for it than for any mountain road we ever saw. It is not yet as good aé it can be made, but a very small amount of labor, which will doubtless be done before next winter, wilf make it> the favorite way to Washoe for a large portion of the traveling community. . ses wT We learn that a letter has been received m this city from Mr. George Hearst, dated at St. Louis, Mo., in which he says that he was placed under arrest by the Federa! authorities at that place, on account of alleged ‘seditious language. In former letters written by him, Mr. Hearst represented Misgouti as an-intelerable place fora neutralnan tu jive in. Indeed, such a thing as neutrality was out of the question, neither Unionists or Secessionigta ‘allowing a man to occupy widdle ground. He must be for them, else he is* against them. Mr. Hearst, it appears, expressed opinions in St. Louis deemed seditious by the authorities there, and hence his arrest. In giving vent to-his opinions, he did not probably reafize the effects of martiallaw, as he never before witnessed the workings of that institution. Mr. Hearst, as our citizens well know, is anythng but a bad or dangerous man, and we hope he will be allowed to return to Washve, where he can employ his time more profitably than in meddling with politics.

Rushing at once to the wharf, he found his friend who was just going ashore. Wishing to be recognized before speaking, he took off bis hat and stood bareheaded and silent in the sun, leoking somewhat like the picture of Efyjuh the Prophet in the wilderness. Fancy his feelings when his old frieud _ fuiling.to recognize him, quietly took out a quarter ofa dollar, and with a look of intense,pity, dropped it into the extended hat of the supposed applicant for alms.

Itis gratifying to find, contrary to rumors which have gained some circulation, that the dead, not only of our own army, but also of the enemy, have all been decently buried. In the whole area of that terrible onset, no human corpse, and neteven a mangled limb, was to be seen.
