Apology. — We owe an apology to the Committee
of Invitation, for not availing ourself of their kind in
vitation to attend the Masonic Celebration, at Forest
City. Tuesday morning is a busy time with us, and
when we got ready to go not a quadruped could be
found disengaged ; the gentlemen will, therefore, please
consider our absence by no means voluntary. We
•have the satisfaction of knowing that the preas was
creditably represented, in the person of our friend
Campbell, who will give a good account of the day's
proceedings.
Nicaragua Steamship Company.—We are in receipt
of a free ticket to and from the Atlantic States on the
Nicaragua Steam Ship Company's line—from C. K-
Garrison & Co., agents, San Francisco. For this ex
traordinary kindne.-s we beg those gentlemen to accept
our very grateful acknowledgements.
The mixed condition of our affairs will net permit us
to decamp immediately, but sometime during the sum
mer we shall set our face eastward, through the kiuduess
of our unknown friends.
Inscltrh Dignity. —Three several reprobates —
Frank Proctor, Joe. MeKibben and John Craycroft—
have asked us, confidentially, ‘‘whether the ‘free ticket’
tendered us by the Nicaragua Steamship Co., came
through the agency and anxious solicitude of the Vigi
lance Committee ?’’
Hus anybody got » double-barreled shot-gun to
loan ?—one that scatters?
Marysville Inquirer.—This little paper, under
the charge of Mb. Mantz, is destined to enlarge its
borders ; there is vim ami spirit in it now. It used to
be under the charge of a law aad order man, but Mr.
Pall found it necessary to send him away to be ground
over. This, we presume, is the first of the “reaction"
we read of!
Please get the Inquirer and read it; you will find it
bold, nervous and manly. Send us exchange, regu/co/y,
friend 13.
Gen. Allen, of the Sacrameneo American, is grnm*
bling about not getting our paper again. “Ran all
over the city, with the thermometer at 90 deg?., to find
a copy.” Mighty strange! We send divers copies
down there, to G.irdncr & Kirk, and one iu particular
to the American, by Pacific Express.
Our new Sheriff and his deputies have their hands
full of business at the commencement of their career,
and very faithfully are they attending to their duties
The appointments of Frank Proctor, George A. Davis (
from Rabbit Creek, and James Dixon, were merited
and judicious.
The Fourth.— o preperations making here for the
celebrat ion of the Fourth ; moat of our folks going vis
iting that day ;som s to Forest City and others to Monte
Cristo, where Mr. SoutbworUi gives a parly in the eve
ning, which will be graced by the youth and beauty of
that lofty village, which stand* higher in the estimation
Of travelers than any other iu the country.
Col. Baker did not lecture Saturday evening as he
promised. He had business below. We don’t admire
Col.'s law and order nations, bat having' beard
much of his eloquence, we wanted to hear him go!
“House-Warming.”—Rev. Mr. Pond says he intends
to have au old-fashioned, New England "house-warm
ing' sometime next week. We know of none who
would more worthily represent the hospitalities of a
New England home, than the Rev. gentleman and his
accomplished lady.
We have hitherto neglected to mention the connec
tion of Messrs. Affron and Mackee, with Langton's Ex
press and Banking House. Ager,. Rollings, Affron,
Mackee, a pretty strong team, besides the gentlemen
connected with the Express business.
Professional.—l. G. Jones, Surveyor and Civil
Engineer, has opened a i office North side Lower Plaza.
“Ike has the reputation of being a very accomplished
mathematician, and as far as we are capable of judg
ing, he deserves it.
It was reported tlie oilier evening that the Sloop of
War “Flying Duchman,” had anchored in the cistern
Lower Plaza, and was about to bombard the town.
The report was untrue.
J. B. O’.Mealv, of Rab fit Creek, has been appointed
Deputy County Surveyor for the northern part of the
county—by Mr. Dodson. A good appointment.
Stone Coal.—John Bradburn has discovered an ex
tensive vein of Stone Coal on the South Fork. The
blacksmiths pronounce it good—shi ll examine it next
week.
‘‘Citizen, ’ San Francisco, endorsed by the Pacific
Express Co., can have it all his own way; no “more
questions axed!”
“W MEN will To-morrow Come ?”• —“Annie’s” poetry
on the first page is worthy of the authoress of “The
Secret.”
A party of ladies and gentlemen will visit Sierra
Valley next month—“ Old Block” among the rest. “Old
Block” is always about where there are pretty women. |
Mr Dibble's oration before the Masons at Forest
City is said to have been very eloquent. Very sorry
that we did not hear it.
Cook & Co. have been prodigal of exchanges this
week they are always so, and do a good business be
sides.
Ranches. If the proprietors ol the various ranches
in this neighborhood will give us some account of what
they are growing we shall be obliged for the informa
tion.
Mr. Baxter is thanked for a box of the finest cigars.
H‘has a superior stock of cigars and tobacco, in addition
to other cheap and excellent goods.
Col. Taylor has again laid Us under obligations for
favors with him it is a matter of every day occur
rence.
Ihe stirring events of the past week are already so
familiar to our readers that we think proper to omit a
recapitulation from the extras.
The Wide West gives Billy Mulligan’s autograph;
it U this : >4
Cheap. Hatchings’ Magazine only two bits; and
well worth the money.
Under Restraint.
Major General Yolney E. Howard, who commands
Gov. Johnson’* spectral army, recently made a war
talk in Sacramento, which we arc sorry to §ay was
very much interrupted by the ill-mannered crowd.—
The speech is mostly dialogue, between the Major
General and the crowd.
“He said: Terry would be murdered by the Committee—
[what paper is it State Journal or Herald ?] The Gener
al then read a statement of a Mr. Uunlavey, which was
listened to with attention, but at the close received with
cries of derision. [Cries of what paper is it ?] The San
Francisco Herald, edited by John Nugent, an honorable
man. [Great hooting.] Fools and cowards may scoff
at him ; good, men—different from these before me—will
not. [Don’t insult us, General.] You are hired to dis
turb this meeting. [“Then nine-tenths of us are bought/’
Immense cheering.] Such men as you are as bad as those
shipped by the Committee; you would stuff ballot boxes—
[Gas, Ned McGowan ; you ought to read the Bulletin—
truth-in it, but not in the Slate Journal or Herald.]
Judge Terry, as the sworn officer of the State, and law,
was compelled to go to San Francisco. [Where did he
get his knife and gun?] You who disturb me are vile
cowards. [Go it General, we are good uatured and can
stand a heap/']
A fair specimen of the whole speech, reported in
the Union and the American.
That’s the sort of public triumph new-fledged gen
erals will get everywhere, who would baptize their un
tried steel in the blood of the people!. Not even a
Pennsylvania Militia Captain, leading a forlorn hope
of ragamuffins against a beleaguered grocery, could
provoke a more ironical smile of contempt than does
the bluster of those fledgeling military men who are
thumping sheep skins and blowing penny-whistles to a
ghostly army. WUh the forces that could be raised
for such a purpose they could scarcely storm a Digger
wigwanv.
Lawyers Again. —We are asked almost every day
why it is that all the lawyers are on the law-and-ordcr
side ?
They are not all on that side,- we know of two or
three of the more distinguished legal gentlemen, here
now, who are friends of the Vigilance Commilte—men,
who, if thrown in the scale, would cause a great tremb
ling ol the beam.
The reason can be easily explained, as far as the
San Francisco lawyers are concerned, though we can't
see how it effects our attorneys. The Vigilance Com
mittee have banished their most valuable clients, and
most trustworthy jurymen !, they have taken the bread
from their mo ths. half-bolted; like carrion birds they
lived on the misfortunes and infirmities of the city, and
now, since the carcass has been dragged'away, like
hungry jackals they mast be allowed to. growl before
they begin to draw breath through their ribs.
Honor ajsong Thieves.— We are told tluit when the
Gambling Act was under consideration in the Legisla
ture, the gamblers of Sun Francisco raised a large sum.
of money to prevent its passage. The money was
taken to Sacramento and, expended in Senatorial elec
tioneering purposes, and not one cent of it appropriated
to ti e purpose for which it was intended. The gam
| blors were much astonished to hear that the act was
passed, after all, but they dare not remonstrate—they
were only miserable gamblers after their money was
used up 1
If this ain’t true the State Journal or California Ex
press can easily contradict it; we are in search of truth
—that’s all !
Some of the law and mm'der papers are gloating over
the probable strangulation of Du'kee, for ■piracy of Gov.
Johnson’s scow-load of bricks and muskets intended to
arm the rabble of San Francisco, and i.' eir vagTant
allies from the interior. We fear, however, those pat
riotic gentlemen will not be gratified by the anticipa
ted spectacle. - " It would. indeed, be a luxury to see
somebody hung in San Francisco according to law,
but there are sundry little obstacles to prevent Mr.
Durkee’a blood front, consecrating the scaffold. There
are, probably, two hundred and fitly thousand people
who have the right of petition, and if that fails they
have still the last argument of kings.
Electioneering-,
It is hoped that in the coming campaign candidates
will be nominated, by both parties, who will not be
under the necessity of trotting themselves ruund the
country and exhibiting their tine points in every dog
gery previous to election. It is a pitiable sight to see
a candidate for an office, where dignity is requisite, tag
ging round from place to place, and blowing off steam
wherever he can get a crowd, either on the stump or
in bar-rooms, where, for two bits worth of gin and tur
pentine he expects to win the vote of some thirsty in
dividual, who, ten to one, will feel a headache and a
contempt for the magnanimous man in the morning.
We have no allusion to the candidates of former oc
casions; in new counties abuses of all sorts creep in
and some very disgraceful practices become sanctioned
by custom; among these the practice of peripetetic
electioneering is one of the meanest and most contempti
ble.
No man should be nominated for office whose abili
ties and character are even questionable; his former
life has been prob ition enough, precluding the necessity
of any extraordinary exhibition just before election; it
might be necessary about the Kanawa Salt Works or
away down behind the Oaark Maunlaius, but iu Cali
fornia, never!
Precedents. —The Union publishes extracts from
an old Philadelphia paper of 1794, in which “Shay’s
Rebellion”—or as we, in good old Pennsylvania, used
to call it, t e *‘Whiskey Insurrection"—ds the burden
of the editor’s song. Poor, old fellow !he was a good
law-and-order man in his day, but he has gone to dust.
The sentiments of Thomas Jefferson, expressed at the
time, may throw a damper on the enthusiasm of many
of the “Jeffersonian School,” who will perceive that
“times cl unge and we change with them.”
‘•‘God lorbld,’ Mr. Jefferson wrote, ‘we should ever be
twenty years without such a rebellion !’ After again in
sisting that the insurrection had grown out of misappre
hensions on the nart of the people, he added ‘lf they
remain quiet under such misconceptions, it is a lethargy,
the forerunner of death to the public liberty. What
country can preserve its liberties if its rulers are not
warned from time to time that the people preserve the
spirit of resistance? Our Convention [he means the
Convention to frame the Federal Constitution] has been
too rauob impressed by the insurrection in Massachusetts,
and on the spur uf the moment they are setting up a kite
to keep the hen-yard in order.’ ”
Declined the Honor. —We are informed that a
military appointment in the law-andrinurder army was
tendered Hon. Joun D. Scelle.v, which that gentleman
had the dignity and good sense to refuse. For this
manly act Mr. Scellen should be sent back to the State
Senate. When the people vote again they will want
to km w who was for or against them—they will remem
ber the antecedents of candidates.

Arrest •( Judge Terry.
The Sacramento Union is nearly always good au
thority on matters of diver* opinion. In relation to
the justification of Judge Terry*! conduct, the Union
says; .
' “From the beginning of the unfortunate difficulty.
D. S. Terry has seemed to act as if determined
to drive the issue tOTi bloody arbitrament. He has from
the first denounced the movements and all concerned in
it. To him and bis influence,, in our opinion, were the
people indebted for a plan to make a case, by insulting,
the writ of habeas corpus, apply to General Wool, and
the usueing of that mischict-making proclamation.
Though a man of acknowledged integrity. Judge Terry
is known as one bl ardent feelings, of a dictatorial spirit
when aroused, and disposed to drive people when he finds
himself unable to leadthera. In a case of the kind under
consideration, no man.conldbc more unsafe as an adviser.
lint aside from this, neither he nor Judge Murray
should have ever said one word to Gov. Johnson about
the matter. They constitute the highest judicial tribunal
ip the State, and might be called upon to decide ques
tions of law arising out of the San Francisco transactions.
Hence it was a public outrage for them to mingle them
selves up in this excitement Why was Jfialge Terry in
San Francisco ? His business is here,his court is here, his
family is here, and here Judge Terry should have re
mained unless he was determined to force a bloody issue
by his own act in San Fraucisco.”
Here we have a Supreme Judge descending from
the highest tribunal of the commonwealth, and going,
into Bowie » Practice , In defence of a friend of very
questionable reputation—so much so that the Vigi
lance Committee thought his presence dangerous to the
eity. *
We have np doubt Judge Terry .very sincerely re
pents of having left Us, business in Sacramento. And
these hot-headed belligerent people are the judges to
whom we must apply to have the decisions of such men
as J udge Sea rig revised or confirmed ! God help us!
“Hutchings’ California Magazine.— From the
publisher, and a veryf great favor—a most excelleent
and valuable publication. The article of most interest
to onr people is a “Sketci from Life” by “Alice,” our
Sierra Valley correspondent, ft is a true description
of a winter scene among the settlers in the Sierras.—
Only a brief quotation : *
“I awoke the first morning. I remember, to find my bed
with about two inches of snow lor an outside counter
pane. which had been drifted by the wind through these
‘•chinks.*’ But my noble, generous brother, and my
own ingenious aid. soon effected a remedy. Taking
boiling water, he thawed the ground, and made mortar,
which 1 handed to him, as he daubed it upon and over
the crevices of the house. We began to feel quite grand
in our soowey location, as we sa’ at night-fall, beside a
big fire, roaring in our huge,cabin lire place, and which
reflected heat and fight to our little household.’ ’
The whole sketch is literally true; we know the lo
cality, and dramatic psrsonx.
These are the women fit t for the Pioneer's wives,
who quail not when the storm-spirit is wrestling with
the forest monarchs; and the noblesi of these women is
Alice.

L. J. CZAPK AY’S Medical and Surgical Institute is be
coming a “sina qua non” to the welfare of our State and health of
our citizens, and his rapidly spreading reputation, although it may
excite surprise, is but the signal of Skill, and follows as the natural
effect of such a cause. We are personally acquainted with gentle
men who had suffered for years under Chronic disease, and who had
taken advantage of every available means that promised relief, but
without success, until they called upon Qr. L. J- Czapkay, who in an
incredible short space of time has given them entire relief. The Dr.
conducts his Institute in a manner that must be satisfactory to all
bis patients. He examines, advises and recommends without charge
anc) the patient, after hearing his terms for treatment can accept or
reject at pleasure. This we consider a fair way of doing business,
whereas some require a consultation fee, although the consultation
may not be satisfactory. In no case does the Dr. make a charge un
less he effects a cure. This he is able to do, because he feels the con
fidence which long experience has given, and no doubt the consola
tion which appertains to that confidence. Persons afflicted with
either Acute or Chronic disease, would do well to consult the Dr.,
at all events it can do no harm, as for consultation be asks no fee,
nor does he insist upon obedience to his advice, unless the patient
places himself under his care. His offices are Nos. 1,2 and 8 Armory
