Owing TO the large amount of (ounerfeit Pain Killer
put up and sold genuine by unprincip pied men, we
have been obliged TO resort to very expensive measures
TO protect pecuniariy, and the public from
great injury by buying and using their worthless
telfelts The compa Tative plain and simple style in
which our Pain Killer has been put up, has made it
very easy for those disposed to initiate it very
fully, as far its external appearance style of bot

that the cmpound is serable filthy proc ucticn and
calculated to do great injury to those who might it

ness 1t is to counterfeit valuable preparations, do it
tempt to punish them by legal measures as it is diff
cult, and we might say impossible to bring the proof
home to them.

selves and the public by prosecuting parties, have

ORGANIZATION of the Democracy.

The Democracy of Tuolumne county cave
already organized for the great Presidential
battle of 1856. They have formed and are
still forming throughout the county Demo
cratic Clubs, based upon social as well as
party feeling. They seem to have snutfed
the elements of success in the defeat which
they suffered, and taken new and stronger
VOWS to exterminate Thuggery and its polit-
ical blasphemies. Casting aside the past de-
feat as unworthy of regret-or even recellec-
tion-as probably the result of their own
want of united effort and harmonious CO.
operation, they are pledging their common
faith to retake the scepter of power which
has Just passed into the hands of olA secret
foes. This is an example worthy of imta
ton by the Democracy of the whole State.
1t must meet with a response from every
member Of the party who desires to see the
State Of California righted in the esteem of
a majority of its own citizens, and in the
opinion of the Atlantic Democracy. The
want of an effective organization at the late
election was one of the prime causes of our
defeat, as it will always prove to any party
no matter how sound it, policy or liberal its
principles.
Thuggery has spread, because of the want
of an united opposition 1t has seduced
men from the democracy, whose fidelity
might have been secured by assurances Of
strength, based upon an organized an active
resistance to its insidous approaches. BY
conceaIing its real strength and magnifying
its proportions; by boasling of its power to
confer official distinction and eAaggerating
the number of its adherents, it has swollen
its ranks with renegade Democrats A
steady and well directed opposition com
menced in the beginning and sustained
throughout, would not only have exposed
the preposterousness of its pretensions, but
preserved the unity and integrity Of our
party.
Know Nothingism cannot stand against
the united cXcrtions of the democracy. Let
the example of the Tuollmne Democrats
who have taken the initiative in the great
work Of organization, be followed in every
county throughout the State. Let us have
unity and a general good feeling. Then, if
Thuggery by any possibility perpetuates its
existence until next fall. it will meet with a
more universal and ignominious overthrow
than it received at the hands Of the gallant
democracy Of Virginia.

MILIrARy-The Governor has recently
been comforting military honors upon num-
Der of the citizens Of our State. Among
the number we notice the name of our fellow

General Of the 2nd Brigade, 4th Division
The Legislature passed a law last winter
organizing the Militia of the State, into six
Divisions of twelve Brisades. The counties
of Sacramento, Ell Dorado. Placer, Nevada,

FAST CLIPPER.-Most of our readers doubt
less remember that Donald MrI[ay's mann
moth clipper ship Great Repubic," the lar
gest of that class of vessels that was ever
launched, was burned at her wharf in New
York, just prior to her sailing for Europe
with valuable cargo. This was in the win
ter of 1854. The hulk was afterwards
raised, new superstructure built, and she
put hpon the waters again as good as new.
The next news of her is from the Paris cor
re.sPondence of the National htahgencer.
wh'''' ", says that the screw line-of-battle-ship
NaVarlno was detailed to accompany the ia
nous clipper, the Great Republic, on her
voyage from Marseilles to the Crimea. "and
II necessary, to tow her." but it appears the
latter was obliged to keep under her three
top.salIs to enable the Navarino to keep up
with der. The French officer was perfectly
rontounded at her feetness.

japanese Manufactured Phone er I'M
porta ions-- Interesting Exhibition,

An extensive collection of japanese goods,
recently imported By Mcssrs Reed d Dough-
erty, were opened Yesterday for public in
Specion at the show room in Court Block,
running from Clay street through to Mer-
! chant street. This is the first lot of Japan
eSt manufactures even Imported direct to the
United States, and as such they are deserv-
ing of particular notice. 1t is a common
belief that III character and style Of manu-
tacture, the japanese and Chinese goods and
wares are similar. But that impression is
erroneous. The Chinese are at best bat in-
tators Of the japanese, and in some articles
of cabinet manufacture Of the Jaranesa. a
degree Of skill is exhibited which we have
never seen displayed in Chinese work The
Mosaic work is perhaps the highest accom-
plshment Of the Japanese cabinet-maker, and
i'll this he has no equal. The Iacquered ware
is also far superior to the Chinese, and in va
rlety of form and eXactness Of fitting, the ar
ticles OF this species of manufacture are
really curosities Of workmanship. There
are also pieces Of furniture very beautifully
and intricatcly wrought with fine species
Of Bamboo One Of the chief features of
attraction is box made from a half dccayed
log of heavy timber The inside is beauti-
fully finished with enamel, while the outside
presents the natural surface much eaten bv
worms. There are a few specimens of fic-
ured six goods; these are Of very rich pat
terms and Of high finish The webb is hcav-
icr than that of French goods Of the same
class, and it is evident the japanese are pos
sessed Of the art Of color blending, an art of
which the Chinese are entirely ignorant, or
at least they do not apply it in the manufac-
ture Of silk goods. There are also some
finer goods, Of about the texture of the Flor
ence silks; but these appear to have suffered
damage. These samples, however, prove
that the japanese knowledge Of silk manu-
tacture is not confined to one class of fabric
Among the curiosites Of the collection, is
small table, made from the half petritfed
trunk of a tree. We understand that the
timber is of a species known alone to Japan,
and rarely found even in that region. In
color the wood appears to be combination
of white pine and darkest ebony; its grain is
nearly straight. The porcelain ware e>cites
much attention. The articles are chiefly
small vessels Cor the toilet table They ap-
pear almost too trail and delicate for the
touch: but although so fraii and beautiful, thev
are valuable as articles of utility, being much
less liable to destruction than common chi
navarro. TO enumerate all the varied classes
Of goods on exhibition, would occupy more
space than our columns will at present afford.

MURDER An llinoistown Indian,
called "Tubbs,' attempted TO murder a cou-
pie of Cinnamon on Sunday evening last, on
the trail leading from Christian Valley to the
North Fork of the American River. He
shot one dead and wounded the other so Sc
vere Y that he is not expected to live. The
citizens of Christian Valley succeeded in Sc
curing "'Tubbs" and tried him by jury of
their own, who condemned him to death
He was hanged about o'clock. a.,
Wednesday. to a limb of tree. After he
was cut down. portion of his tribe took the
body for burial to Bear River
"Tubbs' has heretofore been guilty of muir
dering a Chinaman, and has at last met
deserved fate for his murderous propensitics
We learn that a party of citizens have
gone to see Weimar, the chief, and get him
to find out and deliver up the other Indians
who were associated with "Tubbs" in the
murder.

no more shall the friendly face of its "Na-

travellers from atar-of, enkindling visions of
good cheer-clean rooms--a motherly host

No more from beaeath the piazza of its EN-

echo back his "oH right, 90 oheod." as the
stage threads its way on through rows of
gaping Cinnamon, up up, while its passengers
see Auburn fast disappearing under the hill.
No more from the portals of the Temple shall
be seen the gaily striped balloon ascending,
thing of beauty and Joy for a moment
All, and, no more shall the old tree, so
famed for its legends of 40, ware its corotaal
of green leaves over the classic haunts of
your eesy chair-they are gone-forerer.
But mourn most for the old tree. You
have not mentioned it in your list of losses,
but know that has gone-Birds have sang
to me from its branches through many day
gone bye, and have watched for the stars,
peering up through its waving green to your
unclouded summer skies, while my fancy
strung together the syllables whispered to
its leaves-the pines may look down from
their hills, upon a tairer Autura with broad
er streets, and may seem to tower more
proudly up towards Heaven, but their thou
sand leaves will forever send forth sigh for
their sister of the valley, who has fallen to
rise no more. Its houses can all be rebuilt
but who can restore to Auburn its old trees
Yes, | mourn for the AUbara Of old
Palaces never sheltered warmer, nobler hearts
than did its old unseemly houses--there was
scarce a nook, but had its pleasant associa-
tons for me. But while sorrow for the
old town, an eager cheer ascends from my
heart for the new one, which has ere this
arisen from its ashes, together with prayer
that fire, famine and pestlenee may long
delay their visitations-God speed you ALL

american principles" from which we infer
that either Whigery and Known Nothingism
is one and the same thing, or else, the editor
of the Press was false to his voluntary decla-
