AN UNIucKY DRyE.-The SiskiyOu Chronicle
of July 10th, gives the following account Of q
truly unlucky drive in that region:
On Monday night last, while Mr.. VIM. Sullo-
way was making his return trip on the Saera-
mento line, and when within mile OF town,
one of the wheels of the coach accidentally
struck stump, which threw Mr. S. from his scat
and precipitated him between the feet OF the
horses. In this condition he was dragged for
some distance, when one Of the wheels passing
over his body, he lost his hold OF the lines.
Finding themselves at liberty. the horses set oil
at q pretty brisk pace, at which the passengers,
some ten in number, including several women
and children, became frightened, and several
attempted to cave themselves by jumping out.
the consequence Of which was sundry bruised
faces and strained limbs. Tho women, it ap-
pears, from first TO last, manifested the greatest
GOODNESS and presence Of mind. Finding their
chances Of escape by jumping rather limited,
they very wisely remained inside the coach to
await the result, and thus escaped any injury
whatever. Having proceeded but O short dis
tance, the coach entered deep ditch at the
side Of the road, and capsizod whereupon the
horses stopped, and those within made good
their escape. In half an hour afterwards, all
hands were happily seated around the table at
the Metropolitan Hotel, discussing the merits
of an excellent cup of tea, and the chances
which each one had taken in the catastrophe.
From what VIC could gain from the passen-
gers themselves. no blame could attach to Mr..
Suloway, tho driver, as the night was unusu-
ally dark.

TIE PALMETToEs-At the banquet attending
the recent celebration in Columbia, South Car
olina, Col Keitt was called out by toast.
During his remarks, he related that Hon. Pres
ton S. Brooks, at the time ofhis death, was hav-
ing prepared signet ring to commemorate an
incident that happened to his brother at the
battle of Cherubusco Mexico. 1t is as follows
When another regiment fed, and all the hor-
rors and scourges Of war were putting down
upon the gallant Palmettoes, bathed in the blood
Of their comradcs-when Shields said, "Who
will follow me 2" and Butler said, ave wilp'-
Brooks, yes tho stripping Brooks, cried out,
eyes, all will follow you to the death"-and he
did. The same ball which pierced his body
shivered his musket-and a shivered musket
was to adorn the signet, with the motto salts
meruisse When this brother left home, Brooks
told him his father said to his old body servant
ego with him, and take care Of him-I contlde
my son to you" How did the good old negro
act when tho baptisement Of blood was going
on-when perils were lingering around-when
the hot ignition of stratagem was everywhere
with none to watch the wounded boy but this
old servant, he was at his labor of love, taking
care of his charge. Crushed bones worked out
from the wound-he gathered them up and pre-
served them The noble spirit passed out, and
the corpse alone was left. What did the old
and faithful slave? The regiment gave him u
mule and cart-the soldiers helped him to make
rude coffin With his own hands he placed
the earthly remains of his beloved young mas
ter in the hearse-he conveyed it to Mexico
he carried it to Vera Cruz-he bore 1t on ship
board and by railroad, to his old masters home
and delivered the body and bones Of her child
to his widowed and bereavcd mother, at the
Intel of his birthplace. This is literally true.
In classic story-in legendry annals-in ancient
or modern time-where is the equal of this
touching story?

Resources Of the Mining Counties.

We find the following in the Shasta Republican,
of recent date. The same may be said OF all
the mining towns and counties of the State i
Compared with the old and far-off cOmmuni-
ties, our resources are so singular and dlssimi-
lar that we seldom look to the results. We do
not measure the effects Of the mighty treasure
taken from the soil Of California by the rules
to which we were accustomed in our distant
homes. Gold is our chief product and in its
daily traffic men know whence it comes but sell
dom stop to reflect whittier it goes
Take our little town Of Shasta. One hundred
thousand dollars was never brought here for
Investment. The large capital now existing IN
improvements and in maintaining the flourish
ing business Of the place has nearly oil been
realized here. No foreign capital has fostered
this, or California mining towns generally, in
to exotic aud unsubstantial growth. 1t has grad
ually increased, by the energy and earnings OF
its own citizens, to its present position OF mo
mean wealth and importance.
Now observe the extraordinary office which
the little town has performed since the con-
struction Of her first rude log cabin. Not les.
than two millions ofdollars have been realized
by those of her citizens who have found homes
in other parts of the world Fortunes have
been amassed which in the aggregate amount
to four times the present value the town, and
these fortunes now enrich far distant commune
ties. TTaaay hnild railroads in the West, they
freight with precious cargoes ships in the East
and whitcn with the sails Of commerce, every
sea on the globe.
Shasta is but type of cur State. While CAL
iforna enriches all the world b,sides, she re-
mains poor herself. The millions monthly dug
from her soil goes forth from the Golden Gate
with resistless flow and returns not
What other town, except it be in California,
have given wealth to such multitude and then
sent them away to distant lands? In other
countries when communities become rich they
attract surrounding wealth as the magnet at

sal until the gold of California was discovered

ABOLITION OF THE FRANKING PRIvHEGE.-The
time has come, now that postal reform is being
agtated, when a vigorous effort should be made
to procure the abolition of the franking privi-
lege. 1t is this privilege, in fact, which is the
Old Man Of the Sea on the shoulders of the post
office department If it could be abrogated,
the post office revenue, as statistical tables have
shown again and again, would nearly, if not
quite, equal the post office expenditures The
documents franked for electioneering pur-
poses load down the mails, delay transmission
of more legitimate matter, and involve the
republic in enormous expenses. The whole
system is radically wrong. 1t is the remnant
Of an obsolete custom in England, where it ex-
listed as the privilege of a ruling caste, and
having been initiated here before our colonial
habits were entirely sloughed off, has been suf-
fered to continue long after it was abolished in
Great Britain. Both principle and policy die
tate its removal
We do not deny that Legislators are subjected
in their public capacity, to a more extensive
correspondence than they would carry on as
private individuals. We do not deny that the
republic ought to liquidate this extra postage.
But the proper way would be to approximate
towards the expense which each Congressman
would legitimately incur to fix his postage
allowance accordingly; and to compel him,
hereafter, to pay with stamps, like other oiti-
zens. So long as franking exists as privilege
it will be continually abused. The average Of
human nature is unable to Withstand the temp
tations which beset those honored with this un-
limited power of charging the public treasury.
In England franking has been abolished for
many years, as inconsistent with the equal
rights of citizens and the financial interests Of
the State; and the world sees the strange spec
tacle Of republic continuing an abuse which
monarchy has repudiated. Leger

A GREAT Country efferson Davis, in his
late speech at jackson, Mississippi, mentioned
as An illustration of the vastness os our national
domain, the fact that during the four years of
the late administration more land was ceded
by the general government for internal i'm
prOvements and other Legitimate purposes, than
a third of France, and still we have public
domain equal to the entire area of Europe.
