THE REsULT-The Know Nothing plural
ity on the state ticket will be not less than
$4,000, and it may go higher. That is to say,
in season of general decay and dissolution
of old parties, the only organized and disc-
plncd host remaining has been able to poll
a little more than one-third Of the vote of
our state--certainly less that 40 per cent.
There being neither president, governor, nor
memb'rs of congress to elect this year, the
vote is naturally light--not more than three
fourths Of full poll--so that the vote poll

people The machinery of councils. oaths.

the seven or eight score thousand votes un-

A STRANGE People DISCOVERED IN THE
NEIGHBoRHooD OF WIER's CAvE.-A recent
extract from the Staunton Vindcator has al
ready apprised our readers of the existence of
a singular tribe residing in the valley of Vir-

nor the ridicue of man before their eyes sadvo-

the Jews can no longer b. allowed to monop-
olze the distinction Of ICING a peculiar
people" since in our mountain gorges may
be found primitive and fossil race, which,
for oddity Of thought and an obstinate ad-
hprenCe to exploded opinions, take the lead
of all the sons of Adam. In a world of mu
taton they alone are fixed-at an era of un-
PARALLEL progress they are still dwelling
amidst the shadows Of the past. Because Mr.
Perces unthought of nomination was hail

party, with a storm of affected delight, and

CREMATIoN.-The practice of burning the
dead, is at this moment thought of with
much less horror than ever before in our coun-
try. The riot at Milwaukee has turned the
people to thinking about the matter, and the
more they think of it the neat urn with the
sacred ashes inclosed seems preferable to the
" cold destruction of the grave-[San Reg.

We learn that it is the intention of the
Cleveland & Toledo railroad company to
abandon the use of the southern division for
their through passenger trains. The charga
by the Cleveland & Columbus Co. for the
use of their track from Cleveland TO Grafton
is extremely onerous, and we think the com
pany has acted wisely in coming to this de
cision. The citizens of Sandusky will b.
much pleased with this change. ge.-ETol Rep.

MERE QUESTION OF TAsTE.--Thus we
have said about the question as to burning
or burying the body after DEATH The Lou
isville Journal makes it entirely geograph-
iCal question and says:
A South Carolina editor inquiries whether
burning or burying is the better. If We were
to die in Kentucky, we should prefer to have
our remains mingle with her glorious soil
but if we were so unfortunate as to draw
our last breath in South Carolina, we should
choose burning by all means.

Volcano weekly ledger., 1855-10-27
For he Ledger.

Mr.. EDIToR:-" Blessed is the man who
first invented sleep" This was quaint
saying of Saneho Panza but twice blessed
is he who invented the means of keeping
man awake--wide awake upon all the topics
of the day, and as the press is the only means
we have of doing this, it should be well sus-
tanned. Volcano has long felt the need Of a
paper that she could call her own, and now
that we have the Ledger, / feel certain that
the citizens of this place and the surrounding
country viii extend to it patronage COM
mensurate with the enterprise
Although located in one Of the richest
mining regions in the State, Volcano is
scarcely known beyond the limits of the rocky
hills which surround her, while other towns
with half the number Of inhabitants are known
throughout the length and breadth of the
State. The inducements for families to
locate here are many:-the high moral tone
of our population, the facilities for attending
church, our schools, our healthy location,
and an abundance of fine cool water, present
inducements that few towns in California are
able to offer.
The prosperous condition of our town has
induced a number of merchants in Sacramento
and San Francisco to invest their money in
trade here; and to judge from the amount Of
goods that are weekly disposed of by them,
should think that they find their invest
ments very profitable.
Our rich and inexhaustible mining region
is now attracting thousands Of miners from
less favorable locations and by the time the
annual rains set in, we will have the largest
and liyeliest camp in the county. The Vol
cano Ditch Company will finish their works
by the middle of December, and will supply
the digging north of town with an abun
dance of water; and the jackson Water
Company will soon be able to accommodate
the placcrs lying south of us. In future
there will be no need for miners to offer as an
excuse for not working, " that they cannot
get water" All who wish to make theil
"pile" in hurry, cannot fail in the under
