Mr.. EDITOR {:

Mr.. EDITOR:
1t is not often that a community of out
side barbarians, in shape Of miners, have
had the same opportunity of becoming en-
lightened upon the leading political ques
tons of the day, as ourselves. The light
has broke through at last, and this portion
of Old Butte may, with tolerable certainty,
be set down as right side up.
You have doubtless, ere this, been inform
ed by the Hon ex member, ex-return,d
from his ex-Atlantic sojrurn, that his con-
stituents are quite numerous in this pace
as those whose black banner he is marching
under The only and greatest difficulty he
encountered here, was how to dispose of a
Jackass load of documents and State news
papers, which the Central Committee of that
progressive, pioneer squad, had overload, d
him, it seems, for our especial benefit. Re-
port says, however, that he bartered his
trust, or by mistake, got over the hill aruong
the French and Dutch, and commenced sell
ing off his stock, but he found the market
quite dull, as they were well supplied and
had a few left The next move was for Il
horn of ''rot-gut," and accordingly, tried TO
barter Fremont and Fillmore document tt T
a smile, but it was no 90; our French and
German neighbors would not agree to IA
trade of that kind, for any such documents
lie finally concluded that he had got into
the wrong pew, begged their pardon, and
lett. He brought up on French Creek, where
he met with few buchanan acqualntances,
who treated him tc a ''gin cocktail and u
warm dish OF mule soup, for which he pro-
posed an address on the velvet question, but
we all thanked him very kindly and bid
him a-d-i-e-u. lie left the same day,
aud the last We heard of him he was at the
Mountain House playing "treeze-out' for
the whiskey
We do not intend to be boastful Of what
we will do ON the 4Jh of November, but cal
culate with tclerabie certainty, that We Will
press the Democratic cause as close as our

only gained highly. but refused to pay his
debts contracted at the gambling tables n

that he would return the same in the morn

mother, in the midst of her children,
is sowing in a vase of earth the seeds
Of plants that shall some time give
to Heaven the fragrance of their bios
SONS, and whose fruit be as rosary
of angelic deeds, the noblest Offering
that she can make through the ever
ascending and expanding souls of her
children to her Maker. Every word
that she utters goes from heart to
heart with a power of which she little
dreams. Philosophers tell US in their
speculations that we cannot lift a
finger without moving the distant
spheres. Solemn is the thought, but
not more solemn to the Christian
mother than the thought that every
word which falls from her lips, every
expression Of her countcnance, even in
the sheltered walk and retirement,
may leave an indelible impression
upon the young souls around her, and
form, as it were, the underling strain
of that education which peoples heav-
en- with that celestial being, and gives
to the white brow of the angel next
to the grace of God its crown of go-
ry.
