GRASS VALLEY UNION APRIL 27 & 28, 1865 227
NEW ORGAN.—The Congregational Church in this town, has just been the recipient of a new and
beautiful Cabinet Organ. The Church, we are happy to say, is in a flourishing condition.
FRIDAY, APRIL 28, 1865
OUR SECOND VOLUME.
To-day begins the second volume of the Grass Valley UNION. Our prospects are bright for the
future. One of the present proprietors [Solomon A. Shane] has been with the paper from its inception up
to the present time. He has faithfully clung to the UNION through all its troubles and adversities, and today finds himself at the head of a sound Union paper and a good paying establishment. What the course
of the UNION has been, our readers know. We are for our country first, last and all the time. One of the
late proprietors [George B. Shearer] served three years in the Union army, and has shared the dangers of
the tented field. We are, and have ever been, prepared to drop the quill and take up the sword whenever
our country’s good demanded it.
We believe that we can publish a sound Union paper without villifying all who disagree with us, and
this has been our course. Traitors we hate, and will ever condemn those who sympathize with them. For
patronage or money we shall never advocate the interest of any man or clique. The public are the patrons
we want, and for their benefit we publish our paper.
An article in our creed teaches us that we should never admit anything in our columns that is vulgar
or abusive. We shall adhere to that. Newspaper controversies we despise, and will endeavor to keep out
of. The right we will advocate, regardless of the consequences.
Thus briefly we have explained the position we occupy. Irresponsible parties may assail us for our
course, but we shall, as nearly as we can, treat them with contempt.
We now launch the UNION on its second volume. Those who like the paper, will please take it and
read it. Those who do not, can inform our carrier of the fact, and he will not trouble them any farther.
[William H. Miller, editor.]
THE MEETING TO-NIGHT.
Let Union men turn out to-night, and see that good and sound men are nominated to fill the several
positions. Don’t pay any attention to the advice of our enemies to stay away; but go and help make the
nominations, and don’t let us hear any growling afterwards that Tom, Dick or Harry should not have been
placed on the ticket. The meeting to-night will be the time and place to express your preferences.
The Assassin Killed.
A report reached us last evening that Booth, the black-hearted assassin, has been shot. This was too
generous a death for him. we shall publish full particulars as soon as we receive them.
SCHOOL EXAMINATION.—The Winchester Hill school, under the management of Mr. J. M.
Days, had their examination yesterday. For some reason or other, there wasn’t a parent of any of the little
ones present. If parents don’t take sufficient interest in the education of their children to attend these
examinations and note their progress, they can’t expect others to do so. Mr. Days is an excellent teacher,
and his pupils are well cared for by him. We admire his process for imparting knowledge, and only regret
that there was such a total absence of visitors yesterday. The school has a total of sixty three scholars with
an average daily attendance of forty.
PARADISE LOST.—The exhibition of this sublime Panorama, illustrative of Milton’s idea of the
fall of man, continues to fill Hamilton Hall with large and appreciation [sic] audiences. It is a common
remark that Heaven, as represented on the canvass [sic], has rather an earthly appearance, and earth
