And all We old majestic shrines

That peopled once this glorious land,
Ere art had hushcd their wildering songs.
That rosc along each rocky strand.

Their Nisitauts of fairer birth.
As beings of the snn, awhile,

Far different from the warhoop dread,

And shouted 70 his savage band.

TOPICS of the Day,

We have the pleasure of announc-
ing the fact that the State has gone
Democratic by from twelve to eight
cen thousand. So far as heard from
Fillmore has not carried a single
county. In this respect, Fremont
has beaten Fillmore, for he has car
ried the county of Santa Clara.
The Legislature is decidedly Dem
ocratic, which secures to the National
Democratic party of the country, two
U. S. Senators from California, and
to the State of California more
economical administration of her af-
fairs than was received at the hands
of the Know-Nothing party last
year. Was there ever such defeat
as the Know -Nothings have expert
enced in this State? They have
given their last spasmodic kick, and
the Republican party are sitting on
its body.
Butte record., 1856-11-08
Steamboat for OroyIII,.

Capt. W. P. Lindley called on us last picbt
and gave us the particulars in relation =.
his recent attempt to reach here with tb.
steamer Orient. He says that he ascendod
the river o. far as Turner's ranch. and s,r.,
plenty of water to enable him TO noss a.
ford at that point, and as that is know, h.
the shallowest part of the river, he is of opir.
ion that he could reach here with Gtne d;,s
iculty during all seasons of the year. Cor.
tain Improvements will have to be made in
removing snags and other obstructions. and
the Captain has visited Oroville for the Dur.
pose of raising subscription to defray tn.
expenses of the undertaking. 1t is duty
that our citizens owe themselves, to take
speedy action in this matter, and subscribe
literally to this most important work.
Butte record., 1856-11-08

THE EASTERN PAPERS are full of accounts
of serious disasters by sea and land Ship
wrecks, railroad accidents, and murders are
about all the readable matter contained in
their columns. We begin to think that bad
as the state of society is in California; that
life is about as safe and the state of morals
nearly as good here as in the Atlantic
States, croak as their journals may about
our depravity and semi bar barous condition.
Whatever sins California may have commit
ted, and they have been many, Heaven
knows she can yet hold her head high among
her sister States of the North as being ever
true to the Union, as she has fully proved
herself by her Presidential vote Our revi-
lers can never bring the charge of infdelity
to the Union against US, but we fear that
some of them may be led to the commission
of that awful sin. LET those who are with
out sin cast the first stone"
