There is very general, r. welt AS Very
erroneous, impression prevailing relative to
the workings of the All r"rtirc system, just
introduced into the service Ivy Secretary
Dobbin. The system, after mature dNebcra-
ton, has been adopted not with view of
furnishing the right kind of material for
leutcnauts. captains and commodores, but
to effect a radical and permanent improve
mont in the character OF the seamcn in the
employ of the government Naval appren.
tees are not in the line Of promotion. They
may by good conduct be advanced to the
grade of II petty officer, but beyond that
grade they cannot advance.
The common sense way for getting good
apprentices is that of holding out fair chance
for increase Of pay and Advancement in the
business and an honorable position, to those
who are faithful, skilful, competent aud per
severing. Our extremely pure democratic
administration have no notions of that sort.
No way to the quarter deck according to
their views, but through the cabin windows.

MEssRs. EDlToRs The aspirants for Politi-
cal fame at the approaching election IN this
county, are furnishing up their armor for the
fight, and the contest will evidently be an excl
ting one. The Know Nothiugs are organizing
lodges throughout the county. but if the Demo-
Gratis of Trinity remain true to their principles.
the effects OF these midnight organizations will
scarcely be perceptible at the ensuing election.
There are too many adopted citizens residing in
this county-too many men who look with alb
horrence upon an order which seeks to deprive
foreigners of all civil and religious liberty for it
| to ever gain strong toot-hold in their minds.
Miss Pellet passed through this place yester-
day on her way to Canon City, and gave notice
that she would return at seven o'clock this morn
ing and deliver lecture upon temperance. At
the appointed hour she made her appearance,
but with the exception of myself, not solitary
individual was to be seen. Men as general
thing do not like to hear a temperance lecture
before breakfast. She expressed her regret at
the size of the audience and not feeling disposed
to lecture for my exclusive benefit, she departed
for Shasta, thereby Disappointing number of
her admirers who had been a spree the night
before and had not yet risen from their beds.
She is very pretty and agreeable young lady !;

her lectures. and if she had the right kind of a
husband might possibly make devoted wife.

J. G. Spencer, ESQ.,, of Horsetown, then Of
fered the following preamble and resolutions,
which were passed without dissenting voice !:
Whereas No Democratic State Convention has
ever awarded to either of the counties of this
portion of the State, the nomination to any po-
silion upon the State Ticket; and nhereas, we
believe further refusal to recognize The claims
of our prominent men will tend TO the injury of
the Democratic party; therefore,
Be IL resolred. That in the opinion of this Con-
vention, it will add greatly to the strength of
the Democratic State Ticket to place upon it
the name of some Democrat from this section,
for the position of Associate Justice of the Su-
preme Court.
The preamble and resolutions were then
placed in the hands of the delegation for pre-
sentation to the State Convention. When, there
