Democratic papers throughout the State please
C ipy
A Great Smoke. — A great deal of smoko !
and giut has been created, and n large quan- '
tity of ink has been shed, with regard to i
misunderstanding between Got. Johnson,
Col Zabriskie, and Gen. Allen. It appears
from the Governor's statement of the facts,
that he authorized the two latter gentlemen
to go to San Francisco and ascertain if pos
sible, the objects of the VigilaaceCommittee.
Messrs Allen and Zabriskie claim that they
hud full power from the Governor to effect a
compromise between the Vigilance Commit
tee and tbe State authorities. We believe
this is tbe point of difference between tbe
parties, and it certainly appears to us that
tbe Governor has decidedly the advantage
in the reasonableness of hit position, and
auoh, we doubt not, is tbe opinion of every
unprejudiced man in the State. It seems
to us impossible that tbe Governor should
have conferred the power claimed by the
gmtlemen composing the committee, upon
them, when it is well known that both Col.
7. tbriskie and Gen. Allen, sympathized with
and supported the action of the Vigilance
Committee. This view of the matter leads
us to believe that the difficulty was occasion
ed by an unfortunate misunderstanding be
tween them. Tbe official acts of Governor
Johnson have been characterized by a can
dor and fair-dealing that entitles bis position
to great weight in community, and all the
“astonishment” that may bo expressed by
the self-constituted committee, will not
change the verdict of an impartial public
The mildest form of that verdict will be
that the Committee misunderstood the power
Conferred upon them by the Governor.
The San Francisco Herald.— This pa
per cow dies at its mast head the names of
Buchanan and Brcckcnridge, Previous to
the Vigilance movement, the Herald ranked
at the head of the newspaper press of the
State. Attempts were then made by an un
holy conspiracy of lesser lights to crush it
out of existence. It has passed the ordeal,
ani come out purified as by tire, and the
tone of its editoral articles is that of tree
metal. It has lately been enlarged, and wo
hope to see it increase in size, until it is suf
ficiently large to envelope Fort Gunny Bags
and its masters.
Important if true. —Madame Rumor
has it that some three or four members of
the Executive portion of the Vigilance Com
mittee, were desirous of leaving on the last
Steamer having pressing business just at
this time, in the Atlantic States ! Wc can
not of course vouch for the truth of the ru
mor, and should be exceedingly sorry to see
any of them falter at this juncture, as wo
candidly think they ought to hang together.
‘ Oct or Town.” —We have received two
xcellect communications from this writer
Lut be has forgotten to send us his name,
tot for publication, but in order that we
may know with whom we are dealing. Will
the author of “Out of town ” forward use
bis name, or call at the office.
Correspondents will please remember that
Communications to receive attention must
be zccoovaaied by tbe name of the author.
Affair* in Saw Francisco.— The San
Francisco Hcraid learns ‘ upon good au
thority that it is the intention of the Vigi
lance Committee, to arrest all the officers ot
the City and County Government, lock up
the City Hall and take the government into
their own hands.
“It is also stated, with what truth we are
unable to say, in consequence of the myste
ry which enshrouds the secret tribunal,
which now rules over the destinies of this
people, that after having taken possession
of the City Hall, the vigilance committee
will proceed to Sacramento, seize the State
officers and the records, form a provisional
government, and call upon the people to
yield obedience to it.”
Now, it is generally believed that after
the execution of Cora and Casey, and two or
thru# different shipments of prisoners, the
Ootsrner of the Stats offered, through
Messrs. Baldwin, Fcacby, Bottsand Munson
that if they would disband, and surrsnder
upjtbe arms belonging to tha Stnte which
they had captured; he would recommend to
the authorities of San Franciseo county not
to prosecute them —would interpose Execu
tive clemency if convicted, and would sug
gest to the next legislature the propriety of
passing a general amnesty. These proposi
tions were rejected by the Committee, who
still keep on with their secret plotting, oc
casionally arresting one of the many wharf
rats that infest San Francisco, to keep down
the suspicion of the people. If their object
is not to overturn the State Government,
what is it? Fellow Citizens, “Think, and
think for yourselves.”
Oi-n Line Whigs for Buchanan. —The
Boston Daily Times says among the old lino
whigs of that city who have declared for
Buchanan, are Col. N. A. Thompson, Otis
Kimball, John G. Eustburn, Peter Harvey,
(the fast friend of Webster) Hurry Horton,
Col. John C. Boyd, Col. J. P. Bradlee, Capt,
Edward Voung. I Seth Sprague, and other
active and distinguished national men
From Maine there are large accessions to
the Democratic ranks from among the old
line whigs—and so far from the apostacy of
Hamlin and Morrill having any injurous ef
fect upon the cause in the old Pine Tree
State, it has bad the effect of stirring up our
friends to renewed efforts. t
The Pitteburg Union states the fact that
Robert C. Walker, lat a whig member in the
Legislature from Alleghany county, Penn
sylvania, has taken the stump for Buchanan.
In Connecticut Henry P. Graves, son-in-law
of Gov. Dutton, the Know-Nothing whig
Magistrate of the State, has come out
against the Black Republicans and announ
ces his dermination hereafter to vote with
the Democracy.
The Pacific Railroad Plank.— lt has
been asserted by the very few mendacious
prints in California opposed to the election
of Buchanan to the Presidency, that the
democracy of the nation are opposed to the
Pacific Railroad project. It is upon this
false k-sue.that the enemies of democracy seek
to carry California for Fillmore or for Fre
mont. In order that the friends of Mr. Bu
chanan, in this vicinity, may be enabled to
refute the contemptible calumny whenever
met, wo publish the following resolution
which was adopted by the democratic Na
tional convention at Cincinnati :
lirsolatJ, Thet the Democratic party rec
ognise the great importance in a political
and commercial point of view, of a safe and
speedy communication through our own ter
ritory between the Atlantic and Pacific
coasts of this Union ; and that it is the duty
of ‘the Federal government to exercise
promptly, all its constitutional power for
the attainment of that object, thereby bind
ing the union of the States in indissoluble
bonds, and opening to the rich commerce ol
Asia, an overland transit from the Pacific to
the Mississippi river and the great lakes of
the North.
Gathering in the Streets. — Those
who happened to be about the streets on
So.nday night, were called together in front
of Scncca Ewer's residence, and har
raugued by several speakers, some of whom
were in th® back-ground, but were laying
the wires for a nomination for some office at
the coming county election. General good
feeling seemed to prevail, and politics was
freely discussed, but which side was most
popular in that crowd was a matter hard to
solve. Few seemed to know or care the pre
cise objects of the meeting.
Big Saiwuk Claim. — At the hen 1 of Mor
ris* Ravine is one of the most extensive tun
nel companies in the ruble Mountain. An
immense amount of labor and money bus
been laid out One of their drifts has al
rcady reached 000 feet—another 600. Their
prospects are most flattering. The compiny
is composed mostly of German sailors. They
Lave the muscle and will to reach it, if it is
to be found within two miles cf the base of
Table Mountain.
Lock-Jaw— We would suggest to our
friends who are doing business on Mont
gomery street, to drive down the nails, ns
the sidewalk in front of their places of busi
ness. They are really eery dangerous. A
rusty nail stuck into one's foot often causes
lock jaw. They tear skirts to ladies' drosses,
and bottoms of gents pantaloons.
A hit or a Wakk.— An Irish wake came
off night before last, on the hill, at n place
where they measure out giggers, night
and nnd morning, to every mother's son
Some one tread on somebody's coat-tail, and
the row begun. The amiable landlady
pitched in with a bottle. Some one hit her
a blizzard—and to defend a lovelorn woman
some one drew a pistol, and threatened to
blow blazes out of them. It promised to be
a very interesting fight till nippsd in the
bud by tbs arrival of some one who said,
“ Let there be peace,” end there was no
more fighting. They were arrested. For
further particular, tea court proceeding*.
Fruit. —Mr. Oeo. H. Beach came into
town yesterday evening, with about three
hundred dozen of the most delicious and
finely flavored peaches we have ever tasted.
Some of them were twelve inches in circum
ference. They were raised at Beach & Shep
herd’s orchard and nursery, three miles be
low Marysville, where they have the finest
and most extensive bearing orchard and
nursery in upper California. They have
the choicest varieties of all kinds of fruit
trees nnd vines, which they arc prepared to
sell, in their season, at the lowest pricees.—
Among them are 70 different kinds of peach
es, and 40 of grapes—all selected with the
greatest care. They "bud” from those that
have been tested, and cultivate none others.
The losses these gentlemen sustained last
year by the ravages of grasshoppers amount
ed to some $20,000, but this year their crops
arc abundant and bring fair prices.
Fatal, Accident. —We learn that anoth
er fatal accident from the use ot hydraulic
power occurred yesterday afternoon at Se
bastnpol, on the Yuba river, in the claim
owned by McKibbe, McCoy k Co. Their
claim is a very lich one, and has a bank of
more than thirty feet wash, a portion efi
which, becoming detached, fell upon McCoy,
and so crushed him that he survived but n
few hours. Hs left a brother in this place,
to whom the accident will be mctaacholy
news indeed. The deceased was from Illi
nois.
Nkw and Elegant Gocds.— Mra. M. B.
Newell, at the Ladies’ Emporium of Fash*
ion, ha* a Millinery and Fancy Store that
would do credit to any town in the state.—
She has just received an addition of some
beautiful goods, suitable for our gay belles,
that we do not exactly know the name of,
but moat temptingly hangs in her show-case
“ a love of a bonnet. If 1 bad a wife 1 would
hang it on her head.
Public Imhkotkment.— lt is proposed
by some of our citizens to open the road
through the bluff and intersevt the main
road this side Lynchburg, from Huntoon at
We consider this to bo for the benefit of the
town generally, and hope our oitizens will
assist in building it at once.
Live Stock.— Mr. Honshu w passed our
otllce yesterday with a drove of the finest
hogs we have seen in the State.
Beet Catti.f —A. drove of 30 head of fat
cattle of enormous size were brought to this
market yesterday for slaughter. The finest
beef that is butchered in California is cut
up iu Oroville every morning. So say those
who visit this town.
Scientific Hair-Cutting and Somnif
erous Shaving. —The Shaving, Hair-Cut
ting, and Bathing Saloon of Messrs. White
& Co., next door to the Empire Hotel, is a
most inviting and neat resort. The artistes
are very polite, and operate most skillfully.
They shave so slick, so easy, that one hard
ly knows it if he does not happen to see them
do it.
Heavy Freight. —Our go-ahead friend,
Geo. Hall, brings from M.rysvillc, three
times a week, B,OUO lbs. of goods to this
market. Jit has the finest establishment —
four the largest horses in the country —and
he keeps them as sleek as mules.
i.Q,Joe Rosenthal is raunufactoring Borne
magnificent Jewelry, which he sells ut lc;s
than Sun Francisco prices.
Water Works. —Mr. tiurrutt is gelt.ng
along finely with his pump lugs. He is
.■quirting it all over town.
Pacific Express.—We are under obliga
tion» to this company fcrduwn river papers
delivered yesterday.
Watson will { lease accept our thanks
or a cvutiuuoacc of hit favors.

Hope 0n.... I lope ever.
Though darkness o’er thy path is cast,
Let not thy gentle spirit mourn;
For sure it cannot always last,
A bright and glorious day will duwn—
Then hope ou—hope iter.
Let calumny seek to blast thy name.
And round thee furious tempests rise,
Ere long thou’ll win undying praise,
A glorious tiiumphant prize—
Then hope on hope ever.
And when thy weary pilgrimage shall cease,
And the reaper comes to claim his prize,
Thy immortal part will speed in peace.
To its natal place beyond the skies—
Then hope on—hope ever.
