The Democracy on luteriinl Improvements.?
While tho bitterest animadversions are being
indulged by our opponent on the position which
the Democratic party maintains upon the sub
ject of Internal improvements, it is well that we
have sufficient evidence upon the face of our
statute books, and upon the face, too, of the
country, to disprove the false charges so indus
triously disseminated. Not only have our states
men in Congress, year after year, made liberal
appropriations for improving the great rivers
and harbors in every section of the country,
but tho map of the Western States is marked
over with black linos,-not the black lines of
tho Black Republicans, which was to mark the
separation of the States, but lines showing great
chains of railway binding together the Union,
and promoting tho wcnlth and prosperity of all.
It is true that the Democratic party are and
over will be opposed to that partial and cor
rupting policy of a general system which would
undertake to sweep out the mud from every
little bayou and rivulet of the land, for most
weighty and satisfactory reasons. First, be
cause the revenues of the Federal Government,
if they were teu-fold what they are, would be
entirely inadequate to do it for all, and there
fore it is unfair and unjust to apply the means
contributed by the people o,f every State to im
provements entirely local in their character.
To carry out the doctrine as coutended for by
those who give a too loose construction to the
constitution, would involve (he absurdily of re
quiring the government to carry every man’s
lumber to market, and to pack the cotton of
every sounthern planter, to some eligible place
of trade. Under such a system, Goose crock
and Tiuicuni slough, would come in under the
fostering eare of Uncle Sam, to the great detri
ment of his purse. The old system of corrup
tion and public plunder would be set afoot
members of Gougress looking to their own pop
ularity, and their own pecuniary gain, would
be rampant around the doors of the Treasury,
combinations would be constantly at work in
the halls of legislutiou, and the legislators yield
lug to temptation, would be seen, os of old,
whispering in each others ears, “you vote for
my bill, for my district, and I will vote for
yours.” The Democratic party put an end to
this system, long ago, by the (Inn and deter
mined stand which it took against the corrupting
policy; nor will it be renewed so long as it has
the power to resist it.
But so far from opposing works of great na
tional importance, even the most rigid of the
strict construction School, have coutended that
it was not only the right, but the duty of the
Federal government to extend to them all the
fostering care of tho government, consistent
with a due regard to its financial ability. And
now what is the position of the Democratic par
ty upon the Pacitic Rail Road? This is a ques
tion in which the people of California feel a
deep concern, and each party has vied with the
others in commending itself to the popular fa
vor, by an exhibition of boundless zeal for its
construction.
The “Know Nothing national council,” in
building up a platform, unfortunately overlook
ed the whole subject, and omitted even a pass
ing allusion to it. Still, none arc more ready
to lay claim to sonudness and even exclusive
ness upon the Rail Road, than the K. N. ornlors
and newspaper organs. The history, however,
of Mr. Fillmore’e administration from 1850 to
March 1853, by no means justifies the vastly
munificent pledges which his anxious followers
arc disposed to make in liis behalf.
The Republican party have blazoned the
Rail Road upon their banners, and that, with a
“nigger in the fence,” constitutes their whole
trading capital. On the Pacific side, their “bal
lad mongers” sing songs in praise of it, and of
the 5th Avenue man, who don’t live in Califor
nia. This party, contemplating nothing but
mischief to the country, attempts to make
amends for its execrable purposes by an inces
sant clamor upon this subject.
The record of their candidate, however,
scarcely sustains the high sounding pretensions
of his followers. During the memorable twen
ty-one days of his senatorial career, he intro
duced a bill, supposed to have been originated
by himself, of which he claims the paternity.
The title of that bill was also his own work, and
os it fully expresses its character and objects,
we give it as copied from the Congressional
Globe of 1850, page 1579.
“A bill to provide a road across the Sierra
Nevada mountains, on the line of the Rio de los
Americanos and Carson’s river, and the pass at
their head, as the commencement of opening a
common traveling road between the present west
ern settlements and California.”
This, “the commencement of a common travel
ing road,” was all that he could, ns senator, be
induced to demand for his constituents of Cali
fornia, if we except his ill-starred exertions to
tax the miners, who, in an evil hour had sent
him to Washington to represent their interests.
On this question, the Democratic party oc
cupies a high and impregnable position. Already
have its representatives at Cincinnati, declared
in their platform; “that the Democratic party
recognizes the great importance in a political
and commercial point of view, of a safe and
speedy communication by military and postal
roads througli our own territory, between the
Atlantic and Pacific coasts of the Union; and
that it is the duty of the Federal Government
to exercise promptly, all its Constitutional pow
ers for the attainment of that object.” The
President of the U. S., the much abused Frank
lin Pierce, has repeatedly in his messages, call
ed the attention of Congress to the subject, urg
ing them to make provision for uniting the
shores of the Pacific with the valley of the Miss
issippi. He has done this much, officially, and
In his place as a citizen, helms indicated his ap
probation of the necessity and duty of the Fed
eral Government to take hold of, and encour
age this great work. On the 12th July, 1853,
the Secretary of War, Jefferson Davis, in the
city of Philadelphia speukiug on behalf of the
President who was present, declared that strict
constructionist ns he was, “he had mocked llie
idea that this government could build n road
out side the U. S., and could not build one with
in it;” and further; “under every ingenious
construction which had been placed upon the
various powers of the government, under every
ramification which ingenuity lmd suggested to
supply that deficiency of inter-communication,
in vain had itlieen attempted to be shown him
how the military power of this government,
which consisted in the sinews and strong hearts
of its citizens, could lie used on the slope of the
Pacific, unless there was a Railroad to transmit
it.” When those sentiments were altered by
Mr. Secretary Davis, speaking for himself and
tho President, Mr. lluchatiun was present,
and being cnlled upon to respond, said that his
friend Mr. Davis, although a strict construction
ist, “hail got so far as to he willing to apprnjiriatc
the public money to make a rail road to the l’acific ,
with which he himself entirely agreed.'’’ This was,
and is the positiou of the candidate of the Dem
ocratic party for the presidency. But we have
the opinion of the present Secretary of war, un
der more solemn sanctions. In his annual re
port to the President, made tiie 3(1 day of De
cember last, after going at length into nn argu
ment in favor of the construction of this Rail
road by tho government, ns a great military
highway, he concludes as follows :
“From tho results of tho surveys authorized
by Congress, we derive at least the assurance
that the work is practicable; and may dismiss
the apprehensions which, previously, we could
not but entertain as to the possibility of defend
ing our Pacific territory through a long war
with a powerful maratime enemy.
“The judgement which may be formed as to
the prospect of its completion, must control our
future plans for tho military defence of that
frontier; and any plan for the purpose which
should leave that consideration out of view,
would be as imperfect as if it should disregard
all those other resources with which commerce
and art aid the operations of armies.
“Beyond the direct employment of such a
road for military purposes, it has other relations
to all the great interests of our confederacy, po
litical, commercial, and social, the prosperity
of which essentially contributes to the common
defence. Of those it is not my purpose to treat,
further than to point to the additional resour
ces which it would develop, and the increase
of population which must attend upon giving
such facility of communication to n country so
tempting to enterprise, much of which having
most valuable products, is beyond reach of mar
ket.”
Upon this, wo might well afford to rest, with
the simple remark that when the storms and ag
itations which now shake the foundations of
tiie Republic shall have passed away, and with
the election of James Buchanan, wo shall have
a guarantee of future good feeling between tiie
sections of the country, the power of the gov
ernment in the hands of the Democratic states
men will be put forth earnestly, to bind togeth
er the extended borders of the Union.
Appointments— S. H. Chase, W. F. Anderson,
and other Democratic sjieakers, will address the
people of Eureka on Friday night, and Orleans
Flat on Saturday, the 10th and lltli iust.
The \\ bather. —Since Friday last, the weath
er has been growing gradually colder—the
clouds have gathered above us, giving every
indication of approaching rain. The mighty
waters are about to descend and the prudent
miner is making preparation to receive them.
“Storm and tampost, ye are wondrous strong,
vet lovely In your might, as is the light
Ot a dark t»yo in woman. ”
Court of Sessions.— The regular term of this
Court began on yesterday. A Grand Jury was
empanneled, and was in session all day yester
day. I p to the hour of going to press we have
not been able to ascertain wlmt business has
been transacted.
We arc authorized to announce Sol. Kohlrann
as an Independant dealer in Clothing and gents
furnishing goods, at his old stand. No. 45 Main
Street.
Our Adopted Citizens
For a long time past pains have been taken
by the opponents of Democracy to break up
the attachment of our adopted citizens for
that party whose liberal principles have pro
tected them from the hand of proscription. Four
years ago Gen. Scott, then the Whig candidate
for the Presidency, acting under the tuition of
Wra. II. Seward, traversed the whole West, flat
tering, or attempting to flatter, this class of our
citizens into his support. His appeals were so
palpable and gross that the good sense of the
Germans and Irish revolted at it, and the “rich
Irish brogue” and “sweet German accent” con
tributed only to his defeat. Smarting under
the rebuke which tliey had justly incurred, the
same men who had thus attempted to propitiate
the favor of the foreigners, turned aliout to
avenge themselves, and the spirit of vindictive
ness exhibited itself in a party organization
founded in the single idea of a remorseless pro
scription of the immigrant who had come among
us seeking a home under the liberal institutions
of America.
A party based upon a foundation so false,
with no avowed principles of government to
sustain it, sank in popular estimation as its ob
jects and purposes became more clearly de
veloped, and “the sober second thought of the
people” consigned it to the grave. While it
lived, however, it accomplished some wonderful
feats. Amongst them there was none more re
markable than the election of Wra. II. Seward,
of New York, to the Senate of the United States.
And there stands the record that W. II. Seward,
the pretended friend of the foreigner, the men
tor of Gen. Scott, received the votes of a large
number of Know Nothings in the New \ ork
legislature, and owes his election alone to them.
It is acknowledged that to him, Mr. Fremont
is indebted for his nomination. Without the as
sent of Seward, Fremont would not have been
dreamed of. liy his advice, and at his instiga
tion Fremont was brought forward and made
the candidate of the Republican party. One of
the boasts of this party, marshaled by Seward,
is that by his influence a large part of the for
eign vote will be detached from the ranks of
the Democracy. Once foiled in this plan, the
arch intriguer, again makes his appeals with all
the subtlety which belongs to his nature. Yet,
we have the authority of Gov. Foote for say
ing that towards the men of foreign n>irth, he
has manifested the most unjust prejudices.
At the 1st session 31st Congress, Gov. Foote,
then a Senator from the State of Mississippi,
made the following charge against Gov. Seward
in the presence of that gentle man :
“lie had the proof and could produce it if
necessary, that in consequence of an extraordi
nary feeling of contempt in relation to persons
of foreign birth, (Win. II. Seward,) then Gov
ernor of the State of New York, had mndo in
the city of Richmond, Virginia, a formal propo
sition to Gov. Win. Smith, the object of which,
wus to trade off the Germans and Irish lauding
in New York for the free negroes of Virginia,
man for man, cargo for cargo- stating at the
time, that the Germans and Irish had proved
very mischievous in the State of New York,
and that for his part, he (Win. H. Seward)
thought the free negroes of Virginia would
make better citizens than the class of population
alluded to,”—Appendix to Congressional Glolie
Vol. 23, part 2d, page 13(17.
This charge made by Gov. Foote, In the pres
ence of the Senate and of Win. II. Seward, we
believe stands uncontradicted, lie said he had
the proof of it, and could produce it if necessary,
and w hatever else may be said of Gov. Foote,
it is-conceded by all parties, that he is a high
toned and honorable man. and was incapable of
making such a charge w ithout the most unques
tionable evidence.
The men of foreign birth, flying from oppres
sion at home, have nuturully attached them
selves to the generous and lienign influences of
the democracy, and in doing so, experience has
shown that they have judged rightly. In the
exercise of the rights and privileges of citizen
ship, they have freely chosen for themselves
without coercion, and all efforts will prove
fruitless that are made to rally them under the
tattered flag of Know Nothingism on the one
side, or the black banner of niis-named Repub
licanism on the other.
FiukatGoi.d Him, List of Losses.—The
flourishing mining town of Gold Hill, in this
county, was almost completely destroyed by
tire on Thursday morning. The tire took place
about four o’clock in the morning, in Mr. Job's
store, and ts-fore the citizens were fairly arous
ed the flames had made such headway that all
attempts to extinguish them were useless. The
origin of the tire is not known. A party had
been up in the store during the night, amusing
themselvees at a game of cards, but they had
gone to bed about a half or three-quarters of an
hour before the fire was discovered. Mr. Job,
who w as the last one in bed, was careful to ex
tinguish all the lights, and to sec that every
thing was secure about the store. The follow
ing is a list of losses, for which we arc indebted
to Mr. MeLeod, of that place :
J. Job, store, and 3 buildings, $8,000
F. MeLeod, dwelling and furniture, 3,500

Dkxnis Keefe.—It will lie reineinlieml that
Dennis Keefe, indicted for murder in this coun
ty. escaped jail some months ago, and has not
since been heard from. On Friday last the Sher
iff of Calaveras county arrived in Sacramento
with two State convicts named Donnelly and
Dennis, the former having been sentenced to ten
years imprisonment for horse stealing, and the
latter for a like term for stealing gold dust.
The Union understands that Donnelly is the no
less distinguished personage than Dennis Keefe.
De Ioto A Co.—Families and miners in lay
ing in their supplies of provisions Ac., for the
wiiiter, should look carefully over the splendid
stock advertised by the above firm. Their store
is at No. t>5 Broad Street. Give them a call,
and you will fiud one of the neatest, and be«t
arranged stores in the mountains.
Captire of Robbers. —From the Calaveras
ChronirU, of Saturday last, we learu that six of
Tom Eell’s gang of robbers have been captured
by the Sheriff of Calaveras county and his depu
ties. Ily some means reliable information was
obtained of the different rendezvous of the gang.
Sheriff Clark with three deputies, started for one
rendezvous about twenty-eight miles above
Marysville, and succeeded in arresting two of
of the gang. Two others were arrested in Tu
lare county, by Under Sheriff Mulford, and sev
eral deputies. Five of the banditte are now
confined in the jail at Mokelumne Hill, and oth
ers will doubtless soon be arrested. From the
ex- rtions that are now being made by the au
thorities, there is reason to believe that the
gang will soon be broken up. Jack Phillips,
who was arrested at the Mountaineer House,
near Auburn, has been taken to Calaveras. The
Stockton Argut says that Under Sheriff Mulford
is now on the trail of Tom Bell in Tulare coun
ty. Bell was supposed to have been with the
party of robbers who had the fight with the au
thorities of Placer county on Wednesday last,
where Conway, one of their gang w ns killed, but
this is not certain, and iD the course of a day or
two we may hear of his capture in Tulare coun
ty-
Alta Telegraph Line— The second liuk of
telegraphic communication is now in successful
operation between Sacramento and San Francis
co, via. Benicia, Martinez and Oakland. The
sub-marine cable has been strengthened und re
laid by the superintendent, Mr. Gamble, nnd is
now in fine working order; thus giving the citi
zens of this place nnd other mountain towns,
direct communication with the Bay, ensuring
speedy transmission and prompt answers to all
telegraphic business. Heretofore our steamer
reports have been delayed from four to six hours
in consequence of not connecting through. Now
we shall be able to receive the news at the same
time with the press in Sacramento, which will
undoubtedly be highly appreciated by our citi
zens.
At a meeting of the stock holders of the Alta
Telegraph Company, held Sept. 1st, the follow
ing officers were elected:
President—Il -nry Hare Hartlv.
Superintendent—-James Gamble.
Secretary—W. W. Smith.
Treasurer—A. G. Richardson.
Directors—J. M. Donaldson, A. G. Richardson,
James Gamble, Joseph Lambert.
The line, with its connecting offices extends
over four hundred miles, from San Francisco to
Downicville, through every city and town of any
note in the State. The number of offices, inclu
ding branches and connections, amount tc ov9r
thirty.
Vote for President. —On Friday evening
last the gentlemen attending the ball at the
Ross House, took a vote for President with the
following result:
Buchanan. 70
Fillmore, 2
Fremont, 2
A vote was taken by the workmen on Robin
son’s Rood, near Columbia Hill, on Saturday
last, which resulted as follows:
Buchanan, 15
Fillmore, 2
Fremont, none.
At Harrington Sl Patterson's Saloon, Main
street, a ballot was taken from Saturday after
noon till Monday morning lust, with the follow
ing result:
Buchanan, 07

At the National Exchange, Broad street, a
vote was taken on yesterday, with the following
satisfactory result:
Buchanan, 30

Political.— A large gathering of the Democ
racy of Cherokee was assembled on Saturday
evening last at Turney’s Hotel. Speeches were
made by S. 11. Chase nnd W. F. Anderson, can
didates, and by Henry Meredith and Wm. II.
Martin, of Nevada. Mr. Thos. Hanna of Cher
okee, formerly an old line Whig, being called
upon, brought up the meeting to a late hour,
enchaining the attention of his audience with
an able and eloquent exposition of the issues
involved in the present contest. His speech
was one of the finest extemporaneous efforts we
have ever heard, and was responded to through
out with warm and repeated applause.
The boys of Bridgeport are moving on for
Buck and Brock, confident of success.
Fire Alarm— About one o'clock, on Sunday
morning last, an alarm of lire was raised, which
roused the citizens of this place from their slum
bers, and in less than three minutes several hun
dred people were in the streets. The alarm
was occasioned by the burning of a small build
ing near the lower bridge on Deer creek. As
the building stood some distance from other
buildings, the tire done but little damage.
ArrEMi-T at Robbery — A man by the name
of Woods was arrested on Monday morning last
lor attempting to rob a man at the Virginia
House, who slept in the same room with him the
night previous. He was examined before Jus
tice \ an Hagan on Monday, and committed to
jail in default of bail. Moods is the same man
who was shot at and wounded in Washington
some weeks ago; on the suspicion of being a
robber. It is said that he has lived about Wash
ington and Alpha for some time; that he alweys
had plenty of money, and no visible means of
getting it.
Trial of Collector llAMMoxn.-Mr. Hammond,
formerly Collector of the port of San Francisco
was tried last week before tbc U. S. District
Court for embezzling the government funds
The jury were unable to agree, and the case
will have to be tried anew.
J. M. Sullivan, of the Newspaper Depot, near
the Post Office, San Francisco, has placed us
under obligations for late Eastern pajiers and
for copies of the standard Magazines and Picto
rials.
New Papers.— The material for a new paper
b» be printed at Stockton, called the (,W«, have
been slopped for that place. The paper is to
support the cause of Black Republicanism.
An evening paper is announced to make its
appearance in San Francisco, in a day or two
ahmhtstobc under the editorial charge of
rank I- . Fargo, formerly of the Alla, and which
" nls ° support Fremont.

Another Destructive Fire in Ploeervllle.—
I.osn of Life and over $.">0,000 worth of Pro
perty Consumed.
Pl-VCEItVIIXE, Oct. 2(1.
A destructive fire occurred in the portion of
our town known as Upper Placerville, at live
o'clock this morning. It originated it is sup
posed under the following circumstances : A
man named John Murdock had been on a drun
ken spree during the evening previous and re
tiring to his room in the Pittsburg House with
a candle about half an hour before the fire was
discovered, it is presumed tiiat he had placed it
near the ceiling, which was doubtless the cause
of the fire. The poor fellow was the victim of
his own folly, being burned to death. The
principal losses are as follows : J. W. Foster,
groceries, $5,000; T. Wilcox, groceries, $8,000;
N. Flagg, groceries, $5,000; A. C. Crosby, foun
dry, $3,000; N. Woudly, livery stable and Pitts
burg Hotel, $10,000; E. Worcester & Co., dam
age to buildings and goods, $2,000; Dr. S. Bald
win, damage to buildings and groceries, $3,000;
J. M. Dorsey, butcher shop, $3,000; Spencer’s
blacksmith shop, $3,500. , '
Shooting Affray at Diamond Springs.
From a telegraphic dispatch, dated Diamond
Springs, last evening, we learn that Samuel S.
Smith, an old resident of that place, shot a man
by the name of Rhodes, about one o’clock, on
Monday. The difficulty occurred in the street,
both parties being drunk. Smith was on horse
back, riding up and down the sidewalk and
into the saloons, Ac. Rhodes was on the side
walk and struck Smith's horse several times,
telling him that he should not ride over him.
Smith told him that if he struck his horse again
he (Smith) would shoot the top of his head off.
A few moments afterwards Smith came riding
up the sidewalk again and Rhodes struck his
horse over the head to prevent bis riding over
him; whereupon Smith drew a revolver and de
liberately shot him. The ball entered above
and came out back of the car. The wound is
considered mortal. The officers and citizens
are in pursuit of Smith, and have been in sight
of him, but being mounted on a fleet horse, lie
has succeeded in keeping out of the way. Se
veral ineffectual shots were tired at him as he
left the town. The act was done in the pre
sence of over a hundred citizens. Smith and
Rhodes arc both good quiet citizens when not
intoxicated, and both have families.
Affairs of Adams <t Co. —The San Francisco
Globe and Bulletin have got into a controversy
about the affairs of Adams & Co. We have not
for a long time pretended to keep the run of
this affair—having become satisfied that the
creditors of this “model - ’ banking house would
never get a dollar of the funds that went to San
Francisco. Between the receivers, lawyers, and
others, the money will all be used up, and as far
as the creditors are concerned, the funds might
as well have remained in the hands of Cohen as
with Nagle, the present receiver. In Nevada
and Yuba counties a considerable number of
attachments were issued against the firm as soon
ns it was known they had suspended, and the
money was paid over to the creditors, by order
of Judge Barbour, before the decision of the
Supreme Court was made, requiring all the mo
ney to be paid over to the receiver. In Sonora
the creditors took the matter into their own
hands, appointed tellers, and paid off the deposi
tors. With these exceptions, the assets of the
house, which must have amounted to near a
million dollars, have all been squandered by the
dishonest receivers and lawyers who have had
charge of the matter.
Latest from China.— The Lizzie Jarvis am ed
from China on Wedneday lust.
The rebels have gained a great victory, and
are preparing with twenty thousand men to
attack Canton.
A statement was published in some of the San
Francisco papers to the effect that rice had ad
vanced forty per cent in consequence of the
destruction of the crops by inundation; but the
fact that the Oonradint Ijackman sailed from
Hongkong only two days previous to the Lizzie
Jarvis, and brought, no news of any floods or ad
vance in prices, it is believed that the report
was put in circulation by speculators in San
Francisco, for tha purpose of raising the price
of the article in the California market.
Eureka Township Convention,— The Central
Committee for Eureka township have called a

Revolution in Peru. —The Panama Star learns
by recent advises from Peru that the long slum
bering hatred against President Castilla had
broken out in open revolution. An engagement
took place on the uight of the 14th of August
between the revolutionists and the government
party, headed by General Castilla. Several
persons were killed during the engagement, and
the horse of the President was shot under him
Attor a rather severe engagement the President
f" al j£ f>ucccc ded in overcoming the revolution
ists the engagement having lasted several hours
This we look upon as the first step towards
the oxerthrow °* Castlllas r »le; and will no
doubt, be followed by a succession of outbreaks
agamst his government which must, sooner or
Inter, result in his overthrow.
