The Late Defeat

OF the Democracy in California seems to
have aroused every true democrat to the ne
cossity of a thorough organization for the
Presidential campaign. The party is thor
oughly organized in San Francisco, and re-
Gently at meeting Of the Democratic Club
of that city, a resolution was passed recon-
mending TO the democracy of the State to
organize into clubs and prepare themselves
for the great fight next year. This recon-
mendation should be acted upon. Tuolumne
was the first to set the ball in motion. Let
us follow the example! Organize your clubs
throughout the county! Get a good room in
every neighborhood - subscribe for demo-
cratic papers; get democratic documents, and
''post" yourselves in regard to the politics of
the times. This is the way to prepare for
next year. Read, and get your neighbors to
do so likewise In few short months the
National Convention will meet and nominate
our Presidential candidate, and then the
campaign will commence in earnest. Let us
all be prepared!

Serious Stage Accident.

On Monday morning last, as the Nevada
stage, Of the Opposition Company. was de-
scending the hill entering Spanish Flat, the
lead horses became unmana9eable, and soon
the whole team started down the slope with
fearful rapidity, and when fairly on the fiat
the stage upset and was dragged a consider
able distance until it was smashed into pieces.
At the time there were thirteen passengers,
the driver; one of them, Mr.. w. Dyer, as
sisted the driver in holding the horses all he
could, but finding it was no use, he jumped
from the stage few seconds before it upset,
and escaped unhurt. There was also another
gentleman, Mr.. Michaelson, who was inside,
managed to jump out without receiving
injury.
When the horses started TO run, Mr.
Lawson, who was in the stage with his wife
and two children, placed the latter on the
bottom of the coach under his seat, and for
tunately they escaped as well as himself
without any injury; but Mrs. L. was badly
bruised, and her face severe ly jammed.
Mr.. II. Ladd, of Sacramento, had his right
elbow severely bruised. and was hurt in the
small of the back.
A young gentleman by the name of c. l..
Sullivan had his left foot and ancle bruised,
and slight cut above the left eye.
An old gentleman by the name Of Elijah
Sprague, appeared to have severe shock,
which for time unsettled his mind lie
was entirely helpless when first brought to
town. He had recently returned from Aus
tralia, and had been up in the mountains for
several weeks past prospecting. 1t is more
than probable he was hurt about the head.
A gentleman by the name of w. c. JAG
ques was slightly cut and bruised.
G.. w. Beany, of Nevada, received several
severe cuts and bruises about the head and
face
Two negroes were in the stage at the time
of the accident. One Of them was hurt in
the side, the other escaped without scratch
and was quite merry at being so fortunate.
1t is a great wonder that every person in
the stage was not killed. We learn that the
tire had broken off from one Of the wheels
and in consequence the break would not
check the stage. Stage men cannot be too
careful; they should see that their coaches
and wagons are in complete order before
they are permitted to go upon the roads
with large loads of passengers; human life
is too precious to be sacrificed by wholesale
Mr.. Dyer informs us that the driver done
all in his power to check the team.

The STATE PRINTING.-The Sacramento
correspondent of the Marysvile Express
writing under date of the 9th inst, says:
81 learn this morning, that your contem-
porary, Gen. Allen, has sold his interest in
the State Printing to a firm below for ten
thousand dollaes, which rumor in addition
to the undeniable fact that Parker H. French
has sold his interest in it, together with the
Tribune establishment, which parties here
say, he did not own, has created quite a
hubbub among the boys in the Tribune office,
who thought they were ALL State Printers.
Official documents are being served prepara-
tory to legal strife, and rare developments
may be looked for"
General Allen has since contracted the
above statement.

DIR. Bradley, of Diamond Springs, has
discovered a locality among the mountains,
where in large cavities excavated in the
rocks, the natives have apparently for ages,
procnred their salt. And there is every in
dcation that heated stones were used in
these cavities, in the evaporation of the water
from an exceedingly salt spring in the i'm
mediate vicinity. The fact of the existence
of small quantities of salt in these basins,
seems to be proof positive.

Fair or Foul.

Tie IIindoos claim for their party purity
in elections-yet in the late canvass in this
county, We fnd that owing to the manage
ment of a knownothing supervisor, not a
precinct was established, on the Middle Fork
of the American river for distance OF more
than tcenty miles, thus depriving many of
our citizens from voting who would have
been glad to have done so. Although no
precinct was called for at Poverty Bar, the
people opened polls, and the result shows
that eighty votes were cast. Nothing can be
more reprehensible than attempts like this
to deprive the people of their just rights, as
citizens and freemen. In the future we ex-
pect to see precincts established for election
purposes, wherever the wants of the people
require them.

SAN Francesca, Oct. 9th, 1855.
Editor Placer Herald: You see by the ad-
dress where | am at prcsent--tour days after
all my friends in Auburn thought l was on
the briny deep. You may have heard the
reason-we were very much disappointed,
but had to make the best of it. The morn
ing after the Uncle Sam sailed, the boys
from the northern portion of the State met
in little groups at the different corners of the
Streets and each one had, or appeared to
have, prejudice against Astin and Armstrong,
because they had taken an active part in the
matter; but upon a thorough investigation of
the facts they were both exonerated from all
blame, as twas generally believed they had
been worse deceived than the rest of us, es-
pecially w. T.. Armstrong, who had ticket
and might have gone, but he refused to do
so. assigning for his reason that he would
not leave friends who had came down here
by his request.
We expect to get off yet: and if we do it
will be soon-and hope the next commu-
ncation you receive from me will be dated
