A german TO the matter in
thought was little note we picked up
in frequented path. 1t was without a
name, seemed to have reference to late
meeting of the party "uddressor" and the
party addressed, and ended with the fol-
lowing lines. The writer can have the
paper by calling at this office.
Think you, my love, if ever fate
Should cast shadow o'er our bliss,
That you or coulI c'cr forget
In darkest hours our Goodnight Kiss
All no though hopes should melt in tears,
And fade forever days like this,
Sad memory through the longest years
Would hover round our Goodnight Kiss.
Strolling along by the side of the Big
Elk, the following beautiful lines by
Motherwell, which our memory has
made household words, were pressed on
our mind with unusual force.
Flow down, cold rivulct, 10 the sea,
Thy tribute wave deliver;
No more by thee my steps shall be,
For ever and for ever.
Flow softly down, by lawn and lea,
A rivulet. then II river:
Nowhere by thee my steps shall be,
For ever and for ever.
But here will SIGH thine allcr-tIee,
And here thine aspen SILVER;
And here by thee will hum the bee,
For ever ID for ever.

.7rriralcfMe Cherokee and Prometheus.
New YORK, January 81, A. M.-The
steamers Cherokee and Promctheus ar
rived here this morning, with dates from
San Francisco to the 18th Dec, being
two weeks later; Sacramento City to
18th Dec. and Kingston to the 18th in
slant.
The Cherokee brings one and quar-
ter millions of gold, and the Prometheus
about half million.
Nearly all the New York passengers
on the Isthmus are in the Cherokee.
The Prometheus has $40 passengers.
The steamer Philadelphia left Cha
gres on the 18th instant with the mails
for New York. The Herman and Fall
con were to sail on the 18th instant for
New York from Chagres, where they
had arrived at noon on the 10th.
Another fire had occurred in San
Francisco, which destroyed about 3 l00,-
900 worth of property.
The San Francisco Herald thinks the
chances for Col. Fremont for the Soma
torship to the United States are very
doubtful and quite desperate. The
friends Of Mr.. Welerare very sanguine
of success The matter, however, is in
much doubt.
Snow had fallen to the depth of sew
rral inches at Nevada, prior to the 10th
of December.
A party, consisting of forty-seven
Americans, had been attacked by the
Indians beyond Mariposa Hill, and all
of them killed. The Stockton Journal
records collision, in the vicinity of
Moguetame, between fifteen Americans
and party of Indians. Quite a fierce
skirmish took place, and large number
of Indians were killed.
The military under command of Col.
Rogers, at Placerville, has been disban-
ded.
Gold continues to be found in abun-
dance. The health of San Francisco
and other cities has greatly improved.
The cholera has nearly disappeared.
The barque Alabama, from Baltimore
and the schooner Mary Wilkins and
ship Ontario, from New Orleans, have
arrived at San Francisco.

SMALL Pox.-The Centreville Times

Neck, below Eastcn, one family has
some 7 or persons down with it, one
of whom, named Kemp, aged about 80
years, died on the 10th instant.

The Snow Bird.

The birds when winter shades the sky,
Fly DER the seas away,
Where smiling isles in sunshine lie,
And summer breczes play;
And thus the friends that futtcr near
When Fortunes sun is warm,
Are startled ifa cloud appear,
And fly before the storm.
But when from winters bowling plains
All warblcrs else have pass'd,
The little snow-brd still remains,
And chirrups mid the blast.
Love, like that bird, when friendships throng
With Fortunes sun depart,
Still fingers with the cheerful song
And ntstlcs in the heart.

Connections Election Democracy and
Rum,


The Annual Elestion in Connecticut
takes place on the first Monday in April
now little more than two weeks ahead
and no State Election of equal moment has
been held there for many years. Beside
the State Officers and Legislature annually
chosen, there are now to be elected Mem
bers of the ensuing Congress, who will
very likely be called upon to cast the vote
of the State for next President, while
United States Senator for six years en-
suing must be chosen by this Legislature.
Probate Judges and Justices of the Peace
are also for the first time) to be chosen by
the People at this Election. So many and
such important issues are morally sure to
call forth large vote, and the result will
be awaited with uncommon interest.
That result, could a naked issue be made
up on the great questions on which the
two National parties are confronted would
be far from doubtful. A decided majority
of the People of Connecticut are heartily
in favor Of the Protection of Home Indus
try, the National Improvement OF River
and Harbors, &C., and accordingly give
the vote of their State to the Wing candi-
date in every animated Presidential con-
test. But in her State Elections local and
personal issues, however irrelevant, are
very apt to operate or be operated to the
advantage of the willy and inscriptions
leaders of the minority. There is good
deal of sectarian bitterness still cherished
in the Land of Steady Habits and
thousands of Episcopalians, Methodists,
Universalists, &C., who would be Wings
almost anywhere else, usually vote Loco
Foeo in Connecticut primarily from hos
tility to the Standing Order of Orthodox
COngregationalists, who formerly were
favored by law in Connecticut, who are
still by far the most numerous denomina-
ton there, and who are somehow mixed up
in the popular sentiment Of the other sects
with the Wing party; so that, while an
Orthodox citizen votes as Political con-
siderations impel him to do, citizen of
another church or no church is strongly
drawn toward the support of the opposite
party by considerations which have prop
erly nothing to do with Politics. This
side-cunent may not always be percepti-
bic even to those drawn by it, but it is
