Fourth Volume.
To-day -we enter upon the Fourth Volume
of the Herald. We were the pioneer pub
lisher of the county, nnd as a matter of course,
have had many difficulties to contend with
in the three years we have had the manage
ment of our sheet.
We have endeavored to speak truthfully
of men and things, and as a necessary
sequence have had arrayed again ts us at times
strong and bitter opponents.
Whilst the paper was neutral we had no
zealous friends, and our little paper won its
way to success only on the necessities of the
community, and the favor it may have in
cidentally found.
At the commencement of our second
volume, we declared the Herald democratic
in principle, and before another election look
place the party divided, the whigs of the
county came into power, and the democracy
went to the wall. Without official patronage
of county or State, we have gone on battling
our best for what we have conceived to be
democratic principles and measures, and
against the errors of mistaken politicians who
have arisen in the land. If the party has not
been successful it Las been no fault of ours.
For upon all proper occasions we have ut
tered our warning voice and we can with
satisfaction look back upon our columns,
and say that had our advice been followed,
we of Placer would have been quite difl'er
ently situated.
It is not our intention or object to crimi
nate any one. Doubtless, we shall all profit
by the experience of the past, and if so. we
regard the Democratic party as stronger this
day in California than it was twelve months
ago. True, we have lost the election, but
no reasonable man can regard the result as
settling any principle. No one pretends that
Mr. Johnson has been elected by Know-
Nothing votes—there is not enough of them.
It was done by democrats!—not office-seek
ers, not ambitious men, but the men of the
partv who neither looked nor cared for office.
The wishes of these men had not been fully
consulted in our nominations, and they have
reprimanded in their quiet but most effectual
wav, bv voting against the entire ticket.
The doctrines of the American party are
as odious to these as they can possibly be to
any one; but they have resolved to have a
change in office holders, and having so resolv
ed the politician should remember that no
power on earth can deter such men from
acting.
Leaders may quarrel or make friends, they
cannot lead the people one step farther than
thev can see them to be honest and correct,
and these bickerings among the would be
great men, are always looked upon with sus
picion. This jostling of each other, exhibits
too much of sordid selfishness to suit the in
telligent mind of the California voter. From
these misfortunes we hope to see the party
arise, to hear the voice of wisdom respected
in our councils, to see men nominated who
can carry the strength of the party, and that
hannonv fully restored which shall secure
to our ticket success in the future.
To further this object, we commence this
volume with an enlarged sheet, and we Hat
ter ourselves as handsome an one as is pub
lished in the mountains. We ask for our
enterprise the support of all friends who de
sire our success and prosperity.
We shall endeavor to make the Herald
more interesting to the general reader, which
the enlargement of our columns will enable
us to do—and in our constantly increasing
circulation the advertising public will find
an unanswerable argument in favor of their
patronage.
Our Job Office has received large addi
tkns, since the June conflagration, and work
of all kinds can be neatly executed.
We shall issue extra copies of the Herald
this week and send them to our friends in
various parts of the county, who will confer
a favor by procuring us as many subscribers
as possible.
Ruling America. —After all the profes
sions of the know-nothings in regard to our
foreign population, none were more anxious
to secure their votes on election day that these
same gentry. At Gold Hill they oven in
timidated some of the foreign population
who had a right to vote, and got others to
wote their ticket and endeavored even to get
in the vote of a Canadian who had never
been naturalized, but was a member of the
know-nothing order. Some other of their
proceedings, in different parts of the county,
that we have heard of, was in keeping with
the like proceedings of the K. N.'s which
was exhibited at the speaking of Col. Van
Voorhees at Michigan Bluff,
In a Bad Fix. —A friend informs us, that
near the close of the polls on election day at
lowa Hill, he met an acquaintance and asked
him if he had voted. His reply was “No.
and I don’t intend to. Why, I hunted nil
over the ground, and could’nt find a single
Whig ticket !”
Iy Extacies.—The know-nothings have
been so elated the past week at their success
that they could hardly contain themselves.
Shouts and jibes at their opponents was the
order of the day, when it was really ascer
tained they had .gained a victory, and some
were so elated that they burnt a few dead
logs, the flames of which communicated to
a large standing tree, which yet stands on
the hill-side, all blackened and chared, —a
good emblem ot what know-nothing-ism is
sure to become.
Favors. —We are indebted to J. Q. Jack
son, of Wells. Fargo Jr Co . for an extra from
the office of the lowa Hill News, containin';
a telegraphic synopsis of the news brought
by the Golden Age.
Kobdf.uy asd Arrest of the Thief. —On
W ednesday, at Humbug Canon, in this coun
ty. a man named Fred Spickler, robbed Messrs.
McConihay A Haiu k of between *1.300 and
£1,400 in gold dust. Immediate pursuit
was made, and Spickler tracked some twenty
miles up in the mountains where lie was
found and the money secured.
P. B. Manchester. —Chief Justice Mur
ray in an opinion delivered on the 13th
inst., coincides in the decision of Gov. Bigler
relative to the requisition of the Governor of
Ohio for the surrender of Peter B. Manches
ter. charged with forgery. The prisoner was
by order of the Chief Justice, remanded to
custody to be dealt with according to law.
Disappointed. —Quite a crowd of visitors
were in our town yesterday, expecting to
witness the execution of Free!on. Strange
that the curiosity of men should lead them
hither especially to see such a horrible sight.
“Windy Guards.” —These valiants are to
• have a parade in Sacramento.
Favors.—The Pacific Express Co., wore
, the first to favor us with Atlantic exchanges
j brought by the Golden Age.
1 Mr. Oberdeencr, of the Auburn -Book
| Store, has favored us with late Eastern papers
I and the September No. of Harper and Put
| uam’s Magazines.
Fire at Grass Valley. —Wo learn from
I the Nevada Stage Driver, yesterday evening,
that a fire broke out in Grass Valley on
Thursday night about half-past 11 o'clock,
consumming almost the entire place. Loss
*200.000 ! Particulars next week.
Rrx Over.— As one of the stages, of the
California Stage Company, was leaving for
Nevada yesterday, it was run over a man, in
the street, whose name we were unable to
learn. The leaders knocked him down, go
i ing over his body, also the forewheels of the
coach, when several of our citizens drew him
from his perilous situation. The man was
severely hurt.
The Los Angeles Senator —An impres
sion seems to have been obtained that Mr.
Benjamin I). Wilfcon, the newly elected Los
Angelo* Senator, is a Know-Nothing. Such
is not the case. He is a Democrat, and will
act with the Democratic members of the
next Legislature.— State Journal.
The Democracy Victoriocs in lowa
The elections for county others in lowa, have
so far as heard from, resulted victoriously for
the democrats — Jb.

have been opened in Plumas county. — lb.

Betting on Elections.
An Editor of the Albany RcyisUr, in speak
ing of betting on elections, tells the follow
ing story on himself.
We were a great Jackson man, we were,
the last time that the old General ran for the
Presidency, and whenever a General Jackson
runs for that office, shall be so again. We
lived in the country then, and bail a neigh
bor who was on the side of the political fence,
who was a great dealer in horses. \\ ell,
we got into an argument with him one day,
and so sure was he of success that he offered
to bet a horse against 5-5 1 that the old Hero
of New Orleans would not be elected. We
took the bet. The argument being one that
had no end, was renewed from time to time
with the same result, until five horses on
one side and *'2so on the other were staked
on the issue of the election We won. Hut
we had forgotten to designate the animals,
and such a lot of horses as was tendered in
payment of the bet was a sight to see. If
there was an ailment to which horse-flesh is
subject that was not exhibited by one of these
five horses we should like to be informed ot
its diagnosis. There was ring-bone, and spav
in, and stringhalt, and blindness, and heaves,
and one venerable roadster had all these, and
in addition was deaf as a post. We kept
them a week as a collection of curiosities in
the animal line, and then sold them at auc
tion. A-cording to our recollection, four of
them sold for *4O, in the aggregate, and we
gave a tin-pedlar 810 for taking the other.
We have not bet on elections since, and
don’t want to win any more horses.
Immigration Checked. —Emigration from
Europe to New York has received a decided
check. The number that arrived in March
and April, 1854, were 84,900: in March and
April, 1855, (up to Tuesday the 24th nit..)
5,358, which gives the enormous decrease in
two months of 29,548. In the period of last
year 13,5 6 of the emigrants came from Ire
land; but from the Ist of March to the 24th
of Mav, the arrivals from that country num
bered only 1,081, which exhibits a falling off
to the amount of 11.825 This is attributa
ble mainly to the distress that has prevailed
among the laboring classes in this country
within the past season.-

European News.
By the Goldin Age we have news up to Ang.
4lh. being tivo weeks later than previous advices.
There is but little of real interest in these advices.
No event of importance bad taken place before
Sebastopol, but preparations were being made at
Kamiesch and Balaklava tor the si on texp ,-dition,
the object of which remains nndivulged.
Tie re was a r- port current in Paris that the
bombardment of the Malakolf and Redan had
been resumed, preparatory to another assault.
A dispatch from Prince Gortsohakolf dated
July 28th, states that a heavy firing had been
opened by the Allies on that day. against the Flag
Staff Battery, which had been vigorously replied
to. On the 30lh the cannonading was resumed on
both sides, hut it was only partial.
A London weekly paper, issued just before the
departure of the America , August 4th. slates that
the seige of Sebastopol was about to be raised,
and that the Allio had received startling news
from Germany, but the statement was only in an
ticipation of*probabilities for a comnftrcial pur
pose.
The very latest by telegraph from London
to Liverpool.
August 4lh.
We learn that tbe seige of Sebastopol is just
about to be raised: also, that a enmmun’eatian
has been received from Germany by the 11 estern
Powers, which will lead to startling results.
Great Britain - .—The London Times had an
editorial on Consul Rrocraffs arrest, and preaches
in favor of potserving friendly relations with
America.
Milnor Gibson in Parli mont referred to this
editorial, and asked the Government to furnish
information on tho siWiDct of the neutrality ot
the United States. Lord Palmerston replied that
an arrangement had existed at Halifax, by whieh
person* going Herefrom from any quarter ni’ght
be enrolled, wheth- ror not the lawso( the L nited
States had been violated.
The British Government being desirous that no
such qnest’on should by possibility arise, has put
an end to tbe enlis'ment of forces at Halifax.
France.—The ofThval report in regard to tho
loan shows 3,(100.000 ODD of frane«. six t'mes the
amount asked. The r port of the Minister of
Finances describes the loan as the most surprising
financial operation ever effected in any country.
“A lawyer,” says Lord Brougham, “is a
person who rescues your estates from your
enemies and keeps it himself”
Later from Washington and Oregon Terri
tories.
By the arrival of the steamer Humboldt
we have news from the above Territories to
tho Ist September.
The Mines—The Democratic Standard,
says there is no doubt of the existence of
rich mines on Pen d’Orville river. Our in
formant only prospected five clays, and yet
“ found gold in every place ho tried.” llqjv
many men have prospected both in the Cali
fornia and Oregon mines for live weeks, and
never raised the color ! Yet good diggings
have since been found in the same localities, j
W o may therefore safely conclude, that the
Colville mines, when properly explored, will
pay well.
The Oregon Wcikhj Times, of tho same
date. says:—
“Just previous to our going to press, the
steamer Fashion arrived from the Cascades
-She brings back several old acquaintances,
who left for the mines some time since. Or.
Evans, known well as a geologist, writes to
Or. Steinberger, of Portland, from Fort Col
ville, that the taet is established beyond doubt
that gold exists there, and he cautions peo
ple not to believe one half they hear for or
against the mines. He thinks those who
are returning have not given the mines any
fair test as yet, they not having been there
the length of time to make the proper te
searehes.”

Massacre of Whites not Confirmed
The Oregon Times says;—There is vet no
confirmation of the report about 150 immi
grants having been killed by the Indians at
1 levii’s Gate, on the Sweetwater river; and
we have every reason to believe, from the in
formation we have received through immi
grants, that the report is destitute of truth.

Coast Whaling.—Tho Crescent Citv IT r
al I says that two more large sized humpback
whales were killed within three miles of that
place during the last week of August, and
taken to an Island in the bay and converted
into oil. It adds—
The company engaged in this business
have now captured four of these monsters
within less than three weeks. The enterprise
bids fair of becoming very profitable.
We are informed that the oil from the
humpback is worth some twenty per cent,
more than that of the right whale, and is
next in value to the products of the sperm
whale. *
The Indians in the neighborhood feed no
on the ofi'al from these whales, and the squaws
have a busy time of it in curing them for
winter provisions.
Lynching jn Shasta Cocni y —The Cour
ier says that on Monday of last week, the
people of Dog Creek hung a notorious In
dian thief who was engaged in the massacre
of tho whites at Potatoe Hill and the Hack
Hone.
A Wiialiag Defoi - in hie Pacific.—We |
see that a New London paper states that it
is in contemplation among the whaling mer
chants of New Bedford to remove the depot
for their whalers to some port in California,
and that San Francisco, Benicia, Oakland,
and Monterey, have all been spoken of as
the proper places Coining from such a
source, we are inclined to believe that there
is some truth in the statement, and that, if;
the proper exertions are made, the great
whaling trade of tho Pacific may be brought
to tlie harbor of San Francisco.— S, F. •.

Sale of Siock. —Fifty-three shares of

which entered port a few days ago for the

Close Work.—From the last and most
reliable returns that we can get, it appears
that Samuel 11. Dosh. Gsqr., is elected to the
Senate from the Shasta and Colusi District. |

bis favour. This count, though said to be i
