We learn from the most reliable authority
that since the organization of the Black Re
publicans, the Know Nolhings of George
town can scarcely muster 'corporal's guard
Three-fOurtls of the Order in that neiglbor-
hood sympathise with the negroites, and
have signifed their willingness to cooperate
with them. Iu other parts of the country
even in our own city-alike feeling exists
among the two factions, but not to so great
an extent. At late meeting of the council
here for the porpose Of sending Delegates to
a State Convention, it was insisted that both
wings Of the party should be represented and
in accordance with the expressed wish Of the
Council, gentleman from the South and
one from the North was chosen This shows
how things are working. Go it, factionists

DEFuNor.-The Georgetown Nea5s, dec-
iedly the abest Know Gothing paper in this
country, has dried up 1t had TOO much
independence to importune for patronage,
and a majority of its party having joined
the Black Republicans, with which ism it had
no sympathy, it was driven to sell out. Its
own party was under obligations to it, but
past services are seldom appreciated and this
fact the proprietors of The Ne,os-high-
minded, estimabe gentlemen-have learned
to their sorrow. Mountain Democrat.

QUARTz-There are twelve or thirteen
arasters in successful operation in the neigh
borhood of Ophir. The leads so far have
proven well, and it is believed that quartz
mining, in the neighborhood, in another year
will be carried on extensively.

The VIGILANCE Committee.

The existence of this body is an anomoly
in the history of people, without authority
of law, and ought not to be continued one
moment beyond actual patent necessity.
The extraordinary armament which they
seem to be gathering about them in San
Francisco will be regarded with jealousy BY
the people of the State. Theil power should
not rest so much upon the force of powder
and ball, as in the moral business Of their
acts. Violence breeds violence, is an apllor
ism long since too often verified.
The Executive Committee may exercise a
commanding influence At this time, but how
long may this continue?-unti difference
Of opinion produces a split, and denagogues
will bring this about.
Some act will disgust the better members,
ana they will drop out-oue by one-leaving
the controlling power in the hands Of the
rash and less scrupu'ous-and then, remcm-
Der they are provided with two thousand
muskets, and two or three pieces of artillery.
We have great faith in the intelligence
and the Inherent love of law Of the Ameri-
can pcopIe-give them time to think. The
time for reflection has come; and although
removed so far from the scene Of operations
as to forbid our forming an accurate iudg-
ment of all the necessities that may exist, we
are confident Of this that no twcnty-nine
men without authority Of law, can long
govern a body Of three thousand men armed
for resistance.
Gross violence viii occur in the best dis
ciplined army, and YOU may look for it in the
Vigilance Committee if it is not disbanded
in time Keep a bright look out--'here are
breakers all around You, and sunhen rocks
that YOU do not dream Of.

Every Democratic paper in the State that
we have yet seen. with one exception, is fight
ing the battles Of the baIlot-box suffers and
political gamblers-S. 7. J0@raol
There's a tasehood worthy an aboitionist.
We do not suppose the editor is very clear
about the organs of sight, by reason Of the
quantity Of wool through which he is oJlg-
ed to see everything. There IS not demo-
cratic paper in the State that jus;iies the
violence Of Casey or the yiIIiany Of lis set:
there are however three that we have heard
Of, who do not approve Of the organization
and acts Of the Vigilance Connittee-who
think it would have been better to have left
the whole matter to the legally delegated
authorities.
These then constitute every democratic pa
per in the State that the Journal man has
seen. One would suppose that paper that
has whned so much abott border rutfians'
would be more tolerant to those who sided
with courts and officers; yet, the demagog0e
seizes upon even this unfortunate matter, and
would turn it into political provender.

Much has been said recently about the corrup-
tons in San Francsco and as touching thereon
we copy the following from the Chy0nicie:-
SUPERVISOR CAsEY.-The editor of the Marys
Vile Heraid. (Lous Il. Lull.) says OF Casey elec
ton to the Board of Supervisors:
We were present at the presidio precinct on
the day of the election. and can positively assert
that Casey's name not printed on any Of the
tickets about the polls.
Yankee Sullivan, and Mcssrs Kelly and White
were the Inspector and judges of Elections. Su-
prrvisor Green and Mayor Van Ness were very
indignant and wanted an investigation, but the
American members objected and voted to admit
Casey to a seat in the board.
