We in. lead that our paper shall continue to be, what it has heretofore been, the beat paper published in tb* county; and though smaller aero**, the bock and not so deep in the chest as heretofore a* well muscled end ss gritty as ercr. We do not intend to increise our subscription price or adrertiaing rales io consequence of this change, but shell look to the just appreciation by tb* public of enterprise and energy, for our reward. AoTsuTisn.—Those of our busiucss men who did not advertise during .jjbr-old year, should make now a fair start in the right direction. They should ceuse to hide their light under a bushel, but through the papers, let it so shin: that all may know what they wish to do for the good of their fellows. Many men from small beginnings, by judicious advertising, hare acquired great wealth and influence, while otbera, by s contrary coarse, hare funk a fair capital before they became known to the community in which they burc gone in sleep the moth and dost consuming their undisturb ed wares. The Democrat has a larger circu lation ill El Dorado county than sny other paper, and is therefore the best advertising medium for all w ho wish to tuske their busi ness known to our people. It is true that, owing to the usurpations of despotism, and the disregard of postmasters to their oath of oflice —but to no fault of ours—our paper at present cannot be circulated abroad; but that does not militate against its efficiency as an advertis ing medium, fur our traders and mechanics do not expect to do business io San Francisco, nor to find their customers in San Diego—but here in Placemlle and El Dorado county, where everybody who bis a dollar nnd whose custom is worth gaining, reads the Democrat, and if he does not tuke it, nips it from bis neighbor. Not Ybt.— Lest unsophisticated people w ho hare seen the postmaster's boast of haring robbed the mails of the Mountain Democrat, should fear to tend greenbacks or checks by post, we feel it oar duty to stale that a ten dollar piece, forwarded to us from Virginia City by mail, baa safuly come to band. We do not believe that Mr. Rogers would steal a bunk note or a check yet, but when a soul is once launched on the sea of crime there is no telling how long a voyage may be necessury to bring it into port. Don't Lias it. —Wc learn that many of the resident! on Cnloma and lice streets don’t like the idea of being-taxed at present in accord ance with the provisions of City Ordinance No. 146, nnd intend to present * remonstrance against the Ordinance to the Common Council. There are a few properly holders on those street*, who will be greatly beuelitted by the proposed improvements, while none will be damaged except in the amount of the tax paid. 8hould not all good eitixena be willing to give a neighbor a lift ? Mcddt.—Since the heevy ruin of Tuesday, our street* here been visited by our old but by no means welcome acquaintance, mud. The crossings on Main street, however, can still be found by diving. Should any of oar friends with it, they can doubtless procure submarine armor in San Francisco which would effectual ly prevent their drowning while attempting to find the crossings. Fibemax baa so well answered the veto of the ordinance providing a salary f»r the Chief Engineer, that we are content to let the mat ter rest for the prtsent at least. See bis com munication in another column. Om our first page will be found a brief sketch of the atrocities perpetrated on the Is land of St. Domingo during the servile Insur rection there. Let those who indorse Lincoln’s invitation to the negroes of the South to in augurate similar scenes, read and reflect upon it. It may open their eyes to the borid conse quences of their favorite policy and sullen their hearts to a better feeling towards that unhappy portion of our common country. The lcxcu spread out at the Oreyhound, ev* cry evening, attracts a crowd of visitors to that popular solnou. Black is certainly a suc cessful caterer If one may judge by the number of bis patrons, who, if massed io a body,would be sufficient for a grand corps de armee. The “ tight brigade” does not belong to hia corps. I. 0. 0.

Retnnox.—A glorious time had the gentle men of Confidence Engine Company at their Hall in this city on New Year's day. Wine, wit, sentiment and song flowed freely and gracefully aud bountifully. The courteous Foreman of the Company, Alex, nunter, Esq., presided. The large bull was filled wilh mem. hereof the company and their guest*, and they all enjoyed themselves finely. A basket of champagne, the gift of Messrs. Lynch and El. kua, of Virginia City, both old members of the company and the former, a few years ago Chief Engineer of our Fire Department, was speedily disposed of in bumpers to the absent- In the evening t fine ball, well attended and greatly enjoyed, closed the festivities of the day. Acknowledgment.— We are indebted to our ancient bachelor friend, J. Fairchild, for a complimentary ticket to an Eighth of Junuary Ball to be given by our thio friend Creque, at Centreville. Tatai will be a meeting of El Dorado Com mandery, for drill, on Thursday evening next.

H|aUkMl Okuffc The prospect* of the Democracy ere most obrrt'i- ' r ” - ;*•*.' great end good end ennobling el tier couth*- sadly ere, jet would the people rally to the sup port of the Democratic party to get rid of the bead of official plunderer* who ere protected end eocouraged in Ibehr villainy by the Repeb licen party. Comiptioo in the Republican party ia wide spread, nnirereel end remnraeteas* Member* of the Cabinet, foreign Minister*, Generali aod Cbaplaina of- the army, Senator* and member* of the lower House of Coagresa, army contractor*, Custom House officials and postmasters—all seem eager to swindle the Gorernmenl, and man*' of them bare done so- Not a day patae* that we do not hear of some agent of the Administration being detected in some rascality. The mails, of late, bare so frequently been robbed by Republican postmas ters, that It has gotten to be a common occur* rence, attracting but little attention. Business men are afraid to transmit remittances through the mails, and the express companies are get ting nearly all that business, to the detriment of the Federal Uorcrnment and at the expense of the people. They are hearily taxed to sup port the mails, but are afraid to use them, con vinced that it is unsafe to send a trifling sum of money by them. Some postmasters hare been delected in stealing newspapers, the mcao* «&t-and most cowardly of alHbeft*. Complaints and exposure are useless, because unheeded by those in power. It is a fact, as notorious as disgraceful, that the Administra tion, in defiance of public opinion and regard less of the interests and honor of the country has failed to remove or even reprimand tbe thieves. Not a single instance is on record where it has punished one of its detected and convicted agents. The greatest and boldest of them it loaded with honors and scut him to represent our country at the Court of Russia This singular conduct, this unblushing appro* vul of rascality, encouraged the smaller knave, in office to continue in their villainy, and they ate and have been doing it with unalloyed plea* sure and boundless success. These facts the people know well, nnd they know, too, that tbe ouly remedy for the evil ia in the triumph ol the Democratic party. In every section of the countiy the honest aod respectable portion of the Republican party is joining tbe Democratic parly. But the most remarkable and significant change has lukeu place in Lincoln's old home place in Illinois.— That county, when be ran for President, gave him a large majority ; at the recent election it gave the Democratic ticket twelve hundred ma jority. It must be consoling to tbe President to be repudiated by his old neighbors and sup porters. This single instance proves what a great change is going on in public opinion. We repeat what we buve heretofore said, tho t the lime is nat distant when respectuble men wid blush to admit that they belonged to the Republican party—a pur.y w hich w ill ouly be remembered for tbe corruption and pcrlidy and tyranny of its leaders nnd appointees. W** Dbbocuats."—TheNew York Repub licans have had enough of w hat are culled “ War Democrats"—men whom they have se duced from political virtue by promise of office. Dickinson, Tremain and a half-dozen Con gressional candidates in tbe late electing proved bad bargains, they say. In their con vention to nominate candidates for city officers a few days previous to the e lection, it was proposed to nominate a “ War Democrat" for one of the important positions; but the prop osition was vo,ed down, after declarations by other members “ that they had bad enough of ‘ War Democrats’ in the late election ; they were a drag on any ticket.” Does this not foreshadow the fate ofCunoess and his follow ers? The Republicans have used and are wil ling to use them again, but are not willing to reward them for their services or recognize them as men of principle. They are a band of political guerrillas, ready to support or be tray any party for pay. Of course the nomina tion of such men would be a drag on any ticket. Mimso or VMS Leulsi.atcre. —On Monday next tbe Legislature of California will convene at Sacramento. As the domiuant party are largely in the majority we p esume there will be no difficulty in organizing, and we mar ex pect the Governor’s annual message on Tues day. Questions of great magnitude, involving the honor of the Slate, will be presented fur tbe consideration of tbe Legislature, and we hope they will be temperately discussed and wisely disposed of. Let them promptly and at an early day fix tbe time for electing a United States Senator, and then elect an honorable and capable man, who will represent our Stale faithfully and creditably, and not a pot bouse politician. We shall look to its proceedings with interest and comment upon them caudid ly. We hope to see a gentleman from our own county, of conceded ability and character, S. W. Sanderson, Esq., placed at the bead of the Judiciary Committee. Rkukhsebso tks Poob.—Our good-looking and big-hearted friend of the Union StQoon, Pat. McMahon, scut to our office on New Year’s day a gallon or two of delicious champagne punch. Pat. doesn't do things by halves. He sent us enough to make bosses, jours, devil and all thetr fiiends—and they have un army of them—meiry. The punch was sweet, mild and glorious, and made those who imbibed it gleeful. In additioh to the good drinkables Pat. hud at hia Saloon, be had ulso a large, fat ronsted pig for luncb. It was a tempting least to bis customers aud they w aded into it with a relish. Hard or roa Yotes.—The Chenango Union, published at Norwich, Chenango county, New York, states that at the time of the late elec tion, there was a negro in jail there for hav ing committed a rape upon a lady seventy years ot age. He was bailed out by ihe Republicans to enable him to vote for Wadsworth for Govern* or, and he did so. San Francisco Divorce Calendar for 1862. —Durit.g tbe past ye»r, says the Journal, 118 divorce suite have been in stituted in the Fourth and Twelfth Dis trict Courts ol this city—85 by wives and 28 by husbands. Of the 118 cases, 60 are undecided, 46 divorces have been granted, 5 suits have been discontinued, one divorce has been denied and one suit has,been transferred to another county. Tiie flow of the Pennsylvania oil wells is decreasing, the daily product of tbe whole region being estimated at scarcely four hnndred barrels. Hon Swikbuxo.—Tliii it lh« era of frauds and swindles and shoddy contracts and post ofloe robberies. Tha Administration it so lenical towards its supporters that k protects instead af punishes tbaat detected ta their ras cality. the latest fsrststioa la a Atacovery at New York of frauds upon tbs Subs* tone* De partment, which are thought to hseolre one million ol dollars. Onwards of one thousand favorites of the Administration participated in the frauds. An investigation Is also going oat in the New York Custom House luto alleged frauds by clerks, ia collusion with reveral im portant firms of high standing, all rabid Re 'pubiicans. This swindle on the revenue is alio put at one million dollars. The Republi cans are trying to conceal the matter, but pub lic opinion will allow no such trilling with pub lic interests. These be “ Lincoln times," promised the people by the party of "Retrench ment and Reform!" On the Pacific ouaet Ah olition postmasters hsve been arrested for ri fling the maile, ead we have veaaon to believe that otheve are engaged in the same innocent pastime. A rich old harvest are the Abolition scoundrels reaping! A day of reckoning Is coming, thunk heaven. Always Riout.— Old Hickory wvwwulJw*. ly and indelibly right. He despised, with all the intensity or his ardent nature, the Abo litionists, who now dictate the policy and con trol the Administration. No statesman erer bad clearer views of truths and priuciples. Here is wbal General Jackson said of the Ab olitionists a few years belorc his death. Read and reflect upon it, you who bouur bis memory and profess to follow bis lencliings: “ The Abolition party is a disloyal organisa tion. Its pretended lore of freedom means nothing more nor less than a dissolution of the Union, liouesl men ol' all parties should unite to expose its inteutiooiand urrest its pro gress.” Judging from the recent -flections they bare “ united to expose its intentions snd arrest its progress,” but what terrible calamities would hare been averted if they had done so ut an earlier day. Dearly hare Ihey paid for disre garding the admonition* of Jackson, Clay, Webstar and the great statesmen of our coun try. Uufortunuteiy for the country they list ened to the teachings and followed the exam ple of Greeley, Gurrison, Deecher, Wade and other crazy fanatics, and the result is before the world. The Coxthabaxds. —Tho Administration haring magnanimously liberated more slures than it knows what to do wilh, and finding them an expensive luxury, has ut last hit upon an expedient to liberate itself. The expedient, it is needless to say, is worthy of the prolific bruin of old Abe. It proposes to bind them ns apprentices to anybody who wants tluni and will give bnuds for their support, for s i-erinin number of years, and girc them two suits of clothes and fire dollars in money ut the end of that period. Who wants a negro? It is plain to see that this plan will supercede while labor to a very great degree almost everywhere, the verv consummation for which the Abolitionists are working. They want to degrade white la bor, and then the lords of the cotton mills op New England will rule with a rod of iron the dependent operatives. FaAl'ns.—The New York World, speaking of the great frauds recently discovered in the custom house in that city, says they are " but the beginning of a chapter of partisan pecula tions such as thi% Country has never before Seen. When out of power the Republicans claimed lo he possessed of all the virtue in the country; in power they bate proved them selves adepts in all the vices.” From the highest to tbe lowest, from the Secretary of the Treasury to the pettiest postmustor, they all steal. All the scoundrels in the country scent to hare joined the Republican party and to bare received office from the Administration. Democbatic Success in Connxcticct — Tha recent charter elections held in Connecticut show that the popular revolution, which com menced in the great West, has swept over that Stale as well as New York. The Democrat* hare elected their entire city ticket in Hart ford, for the first time, the Connecticut papers say, io twenty years. Tbe majority for collec tor wss 400. In Norwalk, also, the entire Democratic ticket was eieoled. Republican ism hss been tried, and the trial proved any thing but creditable to that party, saliafactory to tb* jieopie or beneficial to tbe country. - ■— — Uabd Times. —An illustration of the disturb ance of prices growing out of tbe henry issue of paper money, and tbe want of Southern staples, is furnished by the present condition of things at tbe West. Two years ago seven bushels of corn wrould buy forty yards of cot ton cloth. To buy the same quantity of doth now requires thirty bushels of corn. Secreta ry Chase issues paper money ut the rate of three millions of dollars a dar, but it adds no thing to tl*e wealth of the nation, bat does en hance the value of gold. On rat Max*.— Some of tbe Federal Gene ral* are realizing immense fortnnes by the " masterly strategy" of trade. It is said that Gen. Curtis and his relatives hsve made three millions of dollars by speculations in cotton Gen. lititler is charged with speculating wilh tbe Government funds. No wonder these men slid their friends go for s “ vigorous prosecu tion of tbe war." The longer it continues snd they are kept in command, the more they will reulixe from it. If the Administration bad any honesty or self-respect, it would cage these patriotic speculators in some of its Buttiles. Fscits or Advxstising —Wc noticed while in Sun Francisco u short time since, that the old snd well known clothing firm of Houston, Hastings A Co. were extending their borders. They hare now an establishment that cannot be bent in New York City ; their trade is im mense; supposed to exceed tbut of any three similar establishments in the State. Military Genius.— The lioston Post says that an officer, who professes to be authority on the subject ol militaiv tactics, tore off the sent of his breeches with his spurs tbe other daj in attempting to dismount from his horse. Moss Pointed tdan Polished.— Tbe New Y’ork Argus says, “ Our fellow citizen, John Charles Fremont, has recently given cause for the mention of his arrival in Cincinnati, as s • mysterious movement,' and it was added that 'something was in tho wind'! A bad smell, possibly." Common Connell Proceedings. Placmtilli, Dec. 29lh, 1862. Board met pursuant to a call of tbe Presi dent. President Munson presiding. Prevent—Aid. Wichman. Arridsaoa, Dona hue, Tannenwald and Bayler. The Council proceeded to the election of two Policemen for the balance of tbe present unex pired term.

The radical praaa, says the LowisvOle Journal,follow the aaamplecf their leader, the Near York Triha no, aqdUjr the blMae of their defeat upon Mr. Lincoln, the Timet pays in ao many words that the people In greatly dissaflstled with the conduct of the war, and hare a right to be. The Poat reiterates (he sane thing, and then says: The second lettoa taught it that the rights of peaceful aad torsi ettiseos—the acknowledged giiaraateas of civil liberty-are not to be trifled with, or handled in an ertitrmrr twriw. acquit the Administration wholly, in its various arruata of iadiridoaU and its suppression of newspaper*, of tbe porpoee to do wrong. We believe that ia the majority of meaner*. in which they hare iacaraermtod parsons is Fort Warren or Fort Ufoyette. tboy hero done ao substantial injustice; we bold, too, that in Umes of cieil war these exeeptioBal proceedings are ao often sheetotelr aeeesssry; hat we approve and applaud at the same time the jealousy with which the popular mind always watches such resorts. The Commercial Adrertiaer, the organ of the conserratire Republicans, follows -~-r <* etr*jn and mtfr ,* Some of the arrests made by the Government bare, wo are constrained to say, apparently been indefensible, aud if the President will con strue the votepf the Eoipire Slate into a bint to be more chary of the exercise of au arbitrary power, we shall not be among those who will regret bis interpretstiun or it. This is all very well, but it comes too late. As the Detroit Free Pi css says, this kind of talk after election will astonish the honest people who read these papers be fore. A few days ago the man who dared say what they now say was branded by them as a “ traitor.” As a sign of the times these extracts are reroarksWe. They are full confession that the ground as sumed by the Democrats and conserva tives is right. They are more. They convict the radical press of pandering to a wicked party spirit by sustaining acts which they knew to be contrary to the constitution. If these papers now spoke the language of hearty repentance, we should not say one unkind word of them ; but they seek to throw upon Mr. Lincoln the odium of acts which they and their followers forced him to adopt lie was not inclined to pursue a proscriptive policy toward his political opponents. They made him do so. They filled the land with the sense less shout of “ treason." They affirmed that a large party were sympathizers.— They clamored for the Bastile, for spy crafl and terrorism. He conceded to their requests, their threats, and their pressure, for a policy of Austrian severity. They thought such a policy would insure suc cess at the fall election; but, now that de feat has followed, they blame him and him alone. In this they are guilty of the meanest of political meannesses. They display neither the honesty of Christians, nor the magnanimity of gentlemen. They treat Mr. Lincoln as one from whom the sceptre has departed; but let him respect the constitution and the nation will re spect him. .... ... ► ... — Taa Elsctobil Vote.— The States which bare just voted against the Administration give one handred and ninety electoral rotes; and all but aeven of them were cast for Mr. Lincoln only two yearn ago! la not the change both astounding and significant, and does it not prove that the people have no oaa fideoes io the wisdom or patriotism of Lincoln or bit Cabinet? Tbeae area majority sfall the electoral votes of tbe States remaining in the Union; and by this it will be seen, that bad it been a Presidential election, the Repub lican candidate woald have been defeated by more than two-thirds of the electoral vote! Is this not encouraging to tbe frieods of tbe Union and tbe Constitution—to tbe Democ racy of California? No intelligent men doubts that the next President of tbe United 8talcs will be a Democrat, and rarely, Cal ifornia, who owaa her existence aa one of the States of tbe Union, to the Democratic party, ought to eothusiastieally support that party. By tbe snecene of that party tbe country will gel rid of a horde of swindlers who ore en riching themselres by robbing tbe nations) treasury. Mortality or San Francisco ro« No vember. —The total number of deaths for the month of November, as we learn from the Pacific Medical and Surgical Journal, was 167, being 15 less than the average monthly mortality. Of these, 117 were interred in the Lone Mountain Cemetery ; 48 in the Roman Catholic, and 2 in the Jewish burying grounds. The propor tion of mortality among the children is much lower for this month than usual.— There were only 43 deaths among children under 3 years, and 12 still-born. No se rious infantile diseases seem to have pre vailed for the last two months. During the last month there were only two deaths attributed to diptheria, and none from scarletina, measles, small pox or croup. The principal causes of death were: con sumption, 18 ; dropsy, 7 ; heart disease, 8 ; brain disease, 3; convulsions and teething, 4. Toe Washington Chronicle says there are strong grounds for believing that the reason why the Alabama permitted the Tonawanda to continue on her veyage te Europe, on giving a bond of $60,000 as a ransom, was, that the commanders of the pirate and the merchantman had known each other as Free Masons. When Cap tain Julius reminded Semmes of this, he let the vessel go, ransomed by the bond instead of plundering and burning it. Boston. —There is one bright spot in the political darkness of Massachusetts. That is Boston, the residence of Daniel Webster’s "solid” men. Boston gives 1,600 majority against the abolitionist Andrews for Governor, and elected Rep resentatives against Charles Sumner for tbe United States Senate. Progress.——In 1770 California had no sheep and only 200 cattle and 800 horses; now it has 1,000,000 head of cattle, 200,- 000 horses, and over 100,000 sheep. Too Taoa.—The Louisville Journal supposes (bat “ the fortunes of war" we bear ao much about, are tbe fortune* made by the army con tractor* and Generals speculating in cotton. Vf a are indebted to Ned. McCann, Wells, Fargo M Co., and Hernandez A Anderson for the Sacramento nod 8an Francisco dailies.
