From Our Yankee Jim Correspondent.
YANKEE JIM, March 3lst, 1S5

YANKEE JIM, March 3lst, 1856.
Nessys. Editors:-Your editorial of March
22nd, showing the Democratic party the ne
cessty of an immediate organization has
been we'll received by the faithful in this
town and vicinity. In fact the Democratic
stock is looking up; and the knowing ones
are looking cheerful and confident of glor-
ious victory next election, the nomination OF
Fillmore to the contrary notwithstanding.
Their last defeat will opine do them good
as party-they will start anew, sweep away
the rubbish from their midst, lay aside the
objectionables, and bring out such men as
will serve the times.
SO confident is the man Of the late glazed
hat, of a victory, that he is out already IN
the market for boots, hats and coats in way
of bets. He will succeed, | believe, for he
has been successful enough in this way for
the last three years to clothe himself hand
somelv on the best the market affords at the
expense of others.
But let your call to organise be responded
to in every city, town, and hamlet; let every
man in the party be known, and political,
brotherly love, together with her first cousin
harmony, will prevail, and crown their efforts
with triumphant and glorious success.
But, gentlemen, the press can do much to
correct errors and existing abuse. DO your
duty fearIessly and boldly-the corrupt will
howl talk and threaten, but 90 on to expose
and prune where pruning is necessary -
reaching all public men, for they are public
property; never ceasng to show the party
their errors, and the care that should be had
in the selection of candidates, against whom
nought can be said, either of a previous de-
feat or anything else having any drawback
about it,
1t was this very thing that defeated the
Democratic party at the last election. 1t is
a principle long existing in their ranks, that
rotation in office shall be ruling doctrine:
and many did hear say, 81 cannot vote for
BigIer third time' This was the great
cause Of their defeat and the knownothing
party need not crow over this momentary
success.
The old hackneyed way of canvassing the
county is repugnant to every intelligent man;
and | think far better system, equally ef-
tective, and much more palatable to men OF
character and education, can be adopted.
But more Of this POGO tempo.
The rain has come at last, gentlemen, and
prouder, happier set Of men never was seen
than the miners of this villa. On Sunday
last every man in town turned out with a
stove-pipe hat on as a token of their graft
tude for the long-looked for boon. Smiles
beam upon every countenance, with heart
felt emotion. Play with ten-stringed in
strument. clap your hands and be joyful. for
the windows of heaven are at last opened,
and the rain cometh in good old demo-
cratic style, sufficiently copious to supply
and assuage the wants of all.
Respectfully, FRANcIsco.

Village Suorts.

We have always regretted the want Of
foresight in the location of the town of Au-
burn in choosing ground so broken-and then
the acute angles into which the streets are
divided. Distinguished strangers coming
among US, will at once remark that 'its no
good place 10 run dog" This is much to
be regretted, as it drives our young men into
amusements less humane.
Our attention has been called to one class
Of these field exercises, viz: setting the dogs
upon mules and horses when bestrode by
Cinnamon. This may result in some serious
bodily injury, that we know would be seri
ously regretted by the persons whose thought
'lessness brings it about. Moreover it is
hardly fair-John is poor, weak, helpless
creature, entirely at out mercy, and the
magnanimous American people should think
of that fact. There is no malice in the act,
we are satisfied Of that, neither was there in
the boys who peited the frogs, as per old
fable.

Correspondence from Secret Ravine.

SECRET RAvtNp April 1e+, o &c
NesSrS EditGrs: Times were dull with us
while the Bear River Company were clean
inc out their ditch, in consequence Of not
having any or but very little water, for min
ing purposes; but since they have turned on
the water again, end the copious showers
have descended, all is life and animation
once more.
We are not boisterous in praise of our
mines, in this vicinity, but those who keep
steady at work, know best what they pay,
and experience no difficulty in meeting their
bills. This Spring many Of our miners are
leaving for home, with bright countenances,
to meet their families and friends, and they
all take with them long purses well filled
with the yelow-boys.
am happy to inform you that the subject
Of education is attracting the attention Of our
citizens and the necessity Of providing our
children with the means of instruction, has
put in course of construction public School
House. The house is being built by dona-
tons, and the plan succeeds admirably.
A few evenings since, we had with us the
world renowned Ventriloquist, Professor Van
Dortf, who drew very full houses, and gave
satisfaction to ALL Learning that we were
building School House by contribution, he
donated LIBERAL y-for which generosity we
all feel grateful, and would recommend him
to the patronage of our friends everywhere.
We receive the Herald regularly by mail,
every Saturday, before it is dry; and it is
called for with that kind Of interest that will
prove next fall that it is all humbug that
there is no Democratic party.
The Jeflersonian Democratic Club is in a
prosperous condition. We meet regularly
to discuss national principles. We stand by
the Constitution and the Union, and dodge
no national question. Neutrality may be
the most convenient policy for Know-Noth-
ingism in this State, but they should be held
accountable as guilty actors in the scheme of
disunion. From the origin of our govern
ment to the present time the Democratic
party has stood like giant, above all other
parties, and in the darkest hours and amid
the most imminent dangers it has stood firm,
fought for, and adhered to its sacred princi-
pies
The CONSTITUTION AND THE UNION Upon
the perpetuity of these compacts the Demo-
cratic party insist; and upon this issue they
calmly and fearlessly abide the judgment of
the people. Yours, &c, AIKEN.

DEMOCRACY OUR sHIELD--- THE STARS AND STRIPES
BANNER,
AUBURN, APRIL S. 1866.

In order to give place to our correspon-
dents we have omitted lengthy leader this
week. Although it is by no means irnpera-
tive upon us, to appear every issue with what
is generally called 'leader," yet we wish as
a general rule to appear in that manner; and
can safely promise that when we do not, it
will be the exception and not the rule. 1t
often happens that, a correspondent may
afford matter Of greater interest than the
editor can, and in such cases we will freely
give place to them, reserying our fire for an
other occasion.

PURLoIN1NG A RIvER-There is little
controversy springng up between New York
and Pennsylvania in relation to the Chem
ung river. That riverrises in Northern Penn
sylvania, flows northward into the State of
New York, and then, turning southwark,
flows backward into our State, and empties
into the north branch of the Susquehanna
river. Near Corning, N. Y, the New York
ers have built dam across the Chemung
river, in order to turn its waters into Chem
ung canal That canal extends to the Sene-
ca Lake, and discharges its waters there.
The outlet of the Seneca Lake is into Lake
Ontario. So that the water thus taken out
Of the Chemung river is never restored to it
SO that when it returns into this State, its
volume is greatly reduced as feeder Of the
Susquehanna river, and our public improve
ments injured. Our State government has
taken the matter in hand, and quite diff
Guilty may arise out of it

IMPoyEMENTs IN AUBURN seem to 90 for
ward without abatement notwithstanding the
closeness of moned affairs. Two more fire.
proof stores are about finished, each 40 by
% feet, located alongside the Herald office.
Handsome frame buildings are starting up
in number of localities, and the suburbs o.
the town are being fenced in and ploughed
for garden purposes.
We have machine shop, with its engine
putting and snorting, for the manufacture Of
furniture, turning, &c, owned by Messrs.
Smith dS Barret.
Last, though by no means least in impor-
tance, we observe an Ice House has been
erected, from which we may draw the ma
terial to cool our parching tongues during
the summer solstice.

DESPERATE AFFRAY.-An affray, in which
some twenty persons were engaged, occurred
last night at the Fourth Ward Burton Ale
House, on Kearny street. Chairs tables and
bottles were used as weapons, and one of the
belllgerents, named Mulloy, was nearly killed.
The tracas originated from a quarrel over a
game of cards. Three Of the persons concern
ed in the riot Robert Afford and Charles
and Williams Kelly, were arrested by the
Police.--iS. r. HeraH

INSANITY INcREAsING.-We regret to learn
from the Republican that the number of in
sane patients arriving at the Stockton Asylum
is increasing with alarming rapidity, and
that the building in a short time will be in
sufficient to accommodate all this class of
unfortunates who may apply for admission.
From Saturday morning until Sunday even
ing last, no less than fifteen new cases were
admitted. OF this number ten were from
San Francisco, two from Sacramento, and
three from Ell Dorado county.

VIOLENT DEATHS IN CALIFoRNIA.-The
Nevada Journal estimates that the number
of men who meet with violent deaths in Cal
iforna cannot be less than fourteen hundred
a year at the rate these deaths are occurring
amongst us at present. The number result
ing from mining casualties is enormously
large, and will doubtless continue to increase
in proportion to the extension of hydraulic

ANTICIPATED FLOODS IN THE EASTERN STA
rEs.-Great floods are expected this spring
in the districts Of the various rivers IN the
Mississippi valley. The snow never was
known to be so deep before. If sudden and
long continued rains should fall the treshets
will be very high, and no doubt terribly
destructive.

ALL FooLsDAY.-The news-boys at San
Francisco aroused the good people of that
city between u and A. NJ. of the lst Of
April with the startling announcement, of
war between the United States and Great
Britain.
The Placer herald., 1856-04-05

From NIcARAGUA.-The Alta understands
from the most reliable authority that there
is a company Of about one hundred able
bodied men from the interior Of our State
who are now negotiating by their agents
here for the charter of schooner to trans
port them to the Republic of Nicaragua,
and that the same will probably have dis
patch in few days. Many of them will
90 to settle there as miners or agricultursts,
and not for the purpose Of joining the army
of Walker. S. f. Ne~s.
A query has suggested itself to our mind,
which it might be well for those who join
the army of Gen. Walker or who for time
settle in that or any other foreign country,
and then return to the United States with
the purpose of resuming their citizenship, to
consider. 1t is this, whether upon their re-
turn they, thereby resume citizenship, or
must they pass through the steps required
for aliens?
The Placer herald., 1856-04-05

Our old friend, Mr. John Echols, has
charge Of the "American' in Auburn at this
time. Mr.. E. is favorably known to the
public as the heretofore landlord of the
National Hotel, and we can promise the
public, that they will find the "American'
as conducted by him pleasant home, and
we'll provided with all the necessary comforts
of life.

recently returned from Walkers service and
remarks that ii Cor hey did not pay.

DIVORCES IN ALABAMA.-Durng the pre-
