A Young Hero.

A Sergeant-Major, now in Wellington
Barracks, who has recently returned from
the Crimea, has sent US the following enthu-
siastic account of the conduct of young
soldier, only ten years Old named Thomas
Keep, of the Sd battalion, Grenadier Guards,
under the command Of Col. Thomas Wood.
The writer states that this boy accompanied
the army to the heights of the Alma. pre-
serving the most undaunted demeanor tiro'-
out the battle. At one time twenty-four-
FOUNDER passed on each side of him, and shot
and shell fell about him like hail; but, not
withstanding the weariness Of the day, pres
ent dangers, or the horrid sights, the boys
heart beat with tenderness toward tie poor
wounded. Instead of going into tent to
take care of himself after the battle was
over, he refused to take rest, but was seen
venturing his life for the good of his com
rades in the battle field The boy was seen
stepping carefully over one dead body after
another, collecting all the broken musketS
he could find, and making fire in the night
to procure hot water. He made tea for the
poor sufferers, and saved the life of Sergeant
Russell and some of the private soldiers who
were lying nearly exhausted for want
Thus did this youth spend the night. At
the battle Of Balaklava he again assisted the
wounded. This boy did his duty by day
and worked in the trenches by night, taking
but little rest.
At the battle of Inkermann he was sur
rounded by Russians about twenty minutes
and, to use his own words, he said he thought
it was "a case" but he escaped all right
He received one shot, which went through
his coat and out at the leg of his trousers
but Providence again preserved him unhurt
He helped with all the bravery of a man to
get in the wounded, and rested not until the
poor sufferers were made as comfortable as
he could make them He waited on the
doctor while extracting the shot from the
men, and waited on the men before and after.
Thus did this youth" says the writer, "do
anything to any one who needed help
Some OF the wounded say that they should
not have been alive now had it not been for
this boys unwearied watchfnlness in their
hours of helplessness. This boy has been
recommended by Colonel Robinson and
Colonel Wood, and other officers in Her
MajeSty'S service

east of Georgetown, and it is not generally
known, the diggings having been struck
during the past winter. There are numer-
Gus other hills in this vicinity that have
not been prospected, and will undoubtedly,
as soon as fairly opened, pay well.

Tn their Last Throes.

few of the would be leading Democrats
in Ell Dorado county, learning that their
chances for plunder are becoming rather
desnerate. as last resource, have drawn up
naper and signed it, the force of which is
TO be used, not only against political oppo-
nents but also against all Democrats who
may not precisely agree with the faction as
suming the dictatorial authority of the self
styled democracy. This circular is now Of
fered to every man who calls himself Dem
ocrat, and is so represented by its leaders,
that all who do not subscribe their names
and fortunes to said obligation, are excom-
municated from all the honors, privileges
and emoluments Of Democracy This is
truly an artful game, and reflects well upon
the ingenuity Of those who originated it
They should remember however; first, that
they are not the Democracy, and secondly,
that they are now dealing with men who
see and act for themselves. The time has
passed when intelligent men will submit
themselves to be hoaxed and humbugged by
a name, or frightened by threats of excom-
munication from party entirely destitute
of organization, or even of any principles
distinguishable as party. Their would
be leaders have boasted of an open and
avowed platform, but we ask, what does
that platform consist in? Nothing save
open hostility against Wings and Know
NOthingsl Even in this they have belied
themselves inasmuch as they have attempt
ed to deceive the public by circulating
secret circular, and the unsuspecting of the
Democratic party, by palming off on them
a spurious obligation, antagonistic to their
own views and wishes! Ingenious as is
this device of yours gentlemen, it won't do
You have for long time Jared sumptuOus-
ly, you have lived upon the fat of the land,
and have filled your pockets with the op
pressiye ties of an insulted and over burth-
ened people, and now that your day has
come, it is not to be wondered at, that you
cry out when the people take the law and
justice in their own hands, Crying out"
cannot save you. The protestations of your
own selfrighteousness, like that of the
Scribes and Pharsees, bear with them their
own condemnation. The answer will not
be misunderstood -"depart from us all ye
workers Of iniquity." The prosperity and
good of our land and country requires that
we have other men to rule over US than
those who have 50 long trampled upon our
rights and disgraced our name as Ameri-
cans. Patriotism calls loudly for reform
philanthropy calls aloud for reform justice
and mercy calls aloud for reform-our coun-
try calls for reform. Reform reform, ech-
oes from every hilltop and from every val
ley throughout the length and breadth OF
our State and Union With obligations
like these resting upon us, it is not likely
that men and partizans will allow them
selves to be sold and gullotined upon the
loathsome and murderous scaffoId of aSS,snl-
ed Democracy.

Hard at us.

The Miners Aduocate of April 2lst says:
ave pronounce for Democracy first, last
and all the time, and under all circum-
stances and against any and all opposition
The journalist who dares not assume and
maintain position on the important ques-
tions of the day, is more drone in the pro-
fession; his paper is like potato with the
dry-rot. that hath no flavor. By-the-way,
of such is the Georgetown Neacs.
A momentous time is upon us-a time
when all thinking men must make up their
minds one way or other-but the editor OF
the NeuS has not the courage to once open
his headp We
had rather be a dog, and bay the moon,
Than such Roman
Fie fe. Mr.. Ne1Cs, your real position is
as transparent as your skull would be if it
was little thinner. You might as well
acknowledge that you have been terrified
into humble submission by that mysterious
and potent order.
Yes, you pronounce for Democracy. sure
enough; but does Democracy acknowledge
you as its exponent? Are your beautiful
pretensions the embodiament of Democratic
principles? If so "alas poor Yorick," it
may yet turn into a Know Nothing before
the close of the coming elections
"a momentous time is upon US" &c.
Good, we rather like that; there is some
thing peculiarly eloquent in it. Then comes
a poetic effusion; but as the editor of the
Aduocate displays his extensive reading by
crying Shakespeare to our Macduff, we won
der why he did not add Shakespeare, or
some other sphere to his Dog Story above.
Next comes:
"Fie fe! Mr.. News your real position, y
&c.
Well we are glad our position is so plain
and transparent-this is just what we have
been laboring for. All that we wonder at,
is that your statements are so contradictory
-"as transparent as your skull would be if
it was little thinner'-Glad that our skull
is thin enough to let in q little light occa-
sionally. By-the-way, you are not much
troubled with light in that region, are you
neighbor?

SERIOUS ACCIDENT.-A lady, Mrs. SAML.
CURRIER, residing on Mameluke Hill, on
week before last was out viewing some of
the mining claims on that Hill, in company
with her husband While conversing with
her husband, she in an unguarded moment
stepped in one of the deep shafts in which
that Hill abounds. The attention of her
husband was at the time directed in another
course: no one saw her fall, and in moment
after, her husband was surprised at the sud-
den disappearance of his wife. Mr.. CURRIER
at once suspected the true cause and took
immediate measures to have her speedily re-
moved from the shaft When found Mrs.
CURRIER was reclining against the side of
the shaft in a sitting posture though hardly
able to speak above whisper
1t was found that she was severely though
not dangerously hurt. We are happy to
say that this lady has now entirely recover
ed and bids fair to prove valuable member
of our Georgetown society for years to come.
Mrs. CURRIER has only been in California
about six weeks, though her experience in
miners life has been rather more perfect
than that which many ladies obtain in sew
eral years.
