Dead Body Found.

The remains of dead body were found
on Saturday near the road leading from Or
oyllie to Johnson's Ranch, within about two
miles of the latter place. The following let
ter was sent to US yesterday from the per-
sons by whom the body was found and bur
ried:
Mr. EDITOR This is to inform YOU that
we the undersigned having been told that
the body of dead man had been discovered
On the roai leading from Oroville to John.
sons Ranch on Big Butte Greek, at a point
about two miles from Johnson's, we informed
the Justice of the Peace living near by of
the fact, but he refused having anything to
do with 1t, saying it was none of his busi-
ness Under these circumstances, we took
It upon ourselves to examine and bury the
body, which we did. We found the BODY
greatly decomposed, and judging from ap-
pearances think it must have been there for
at least eight days We found lying close
by his head little book, in which was q
discharge from the U. S. Army. The dis
charge was dated May 7th, 1857, and given
at Humboldt. 1t was signed by Edward
Underwood. The description given in the
discharge is of James Kelley, born in the
State of Vermont, aged SIS years, light COM
plexion, brown hair and eyes We wish to
make this matter public in conformity with
law, and furthermore state that we buried
the body as decently as possible under the
circumstances.

WIT AND SATIRE.--Sterne warns II.
at what price the satirist NAV pursue
his art. Eugenio shall crack his lest
and lose his friend. He shall ieer at
knaves and fools, and find the mob rise
and stone him. A wit is admired, but
stunned. Most people. not p .lsied by
COW ardice, love to see lightning, vol
canoes, tempests. On the summer
night, when the air is hot, and the
lightnings play in the tree tops, or
break thsough the ocean wraek, they
are dazzling and seductive. Who has
not lounged in the park or leaned over
the bulwork, with soft ara clingine
round him or wet curl dropping on
his cheek, unit Il deep into the nidight
held by the fiery openings and long
golden inlet into space :
Yet the boldest lover of the pictur-
esque will watch the beautiful white
fire with a secret awe, lest it leap too
near. So with wit. We admire in
fear Your wit cannot always shool
folly without bringing down the fool.
And the fools have such majority at
the club and the drnder table Euge
MO will delight the few who fliag him
their applause, and mortally offend the
many who pursue him to death. His
is perilous vocation, only for the iso
lated and strong. A satirist drags truth
from her well divests her of crinoline,
and sets her IN the market place, as
>he was born. In spite of the adage,
h. calls blot, blot a freckle, a
freckle You may say, stain On the
face is beauty spot; freckls a sun
kiss. He lrughs at your want of vera
city-your diseased lmagination.-Loa.

The New York Evening Post has leading
article on the incompatibili,y of Americanism
with the anti slavery movement, owing Ia the fact
that foreigners are the natural friends # abo
ltionsm, and that consequently to oppose immi-
grafton and the investment of foreigners with the
privileges and powers of citizenship is TO oppose
Black Republicanism, by cutting off of it's
chief sources of supply. The premises and the
argument of the Post are undeniaby correct
The Northern States owe their ascendency in
the Union to the population they have derived
from abroad-population averse by nature, edu.
cation and interest to slave labor-popula,ion
not only repelledi from the slave States by this
aversion, but attracted TO the free States by the
privilege the government affords them of acquir-
ing lands almost without charge, and the advnn-
tages it has bestowed upon those regions by fur
nishing the means of building railroads, canals,
colleges, &c. The foreigner has every induce
ment to settle in the free States. and every incli.
nation TO ally himself with the party hostile to
slavery. What is most remarkable, under these
circumstance, is that there should be found puv
party at the South unwilling to CO operate in
wise and just legislation by which the power of
foreignism may be submitted 10 proper restraints
The Post concludes its article by saying:
The conclusion TO be drawn from these facts is
obvious. That the foreign population, SUCH is not
hostile TO Republicanism, has been fully shown
That they not decidedly in its favor is in
great measerc TO be ascrbed to the resentment ex-
cited by the attacks they have suffered from the
Native Americans and Know Nothings. For the last
two years, Douglas and his feow-eonsprators have

Referring 10 the late election Of L. S. Sena
tors from Indiana. the y. o. Bulletin says they
were elected as sound national Democrats, aud
they are SO regar led as Ear we have observed
by the Democratic party nud press Of tue c"nu-
try. SO far as Mr. Bright is concerned we have
nothing TO ray. as lie is well known to the public.
But in reference TO the other. Mr.. Fitch, we ven.
ture to say that there is not Freesoiler in the
U. S. Senate whose opinions upon the subject Of
slavery are more EXCEPTIONALLY ultra than his
were in l-49, as evinced by answers 10 questions
put to him in writing at that time, and which
there is no evidence, SO far as know. he has
repudated or modified in the least. In order
that our readers may for themselves what
these sentiments are. We subjoin the following
precious correspondence:
q. Pomeroy, director in underground railrond
company, of Indiana, wrote to Fitch follows:
PLYMorTH, Aug. i. lSi9=-Sir As there are II icw
who think You have not been quite definite enough
on some of the questions involved in the present
vass, wish you TO answer some Of the following
questions TO wit
LIST Will you, II elected vote for the unconditional
repeal of slavery in the District of Columbian
I'd Will you vote for the abolition Of the inter
State slave trader
3D. Will YOU vote for the Wilmot Prosiso being
extended over the territory OF California and New
Mexico, and against any law authorizing slaves to he
taken there as property
Please answer the above questions yes or no with
out comment. GROVE PpMEltOl.
To this the Doctor gave the following prompt re-
ply:
with pleasure answer yes 10 the above qnes-
tions. GRAHAM y FITCH
Not content With this, he added;
"Entertainng the view indicated in my answer Il
boye, shall not only vote yves on these measures,
but if older ADLER member whose influence
would be greater than mine, introduce them into
Congress, ! shall do so myself If have the honor
ofholdng seat there. q. \. FITCH
What do our readers think Of this National
Democrat What is strange,we have not heard
word of protest on the par, of any Democratic
Southern journal. If Fitch had been elected n
