THE PLACER HERALD.
Auburn, June 6, 1857.
Change of Administration.

On Tuesday last, the terms of the old
county officers expired, and their places were
occupied by the new incumbents 1t was
the occasion of social entertainments on the
part of both the ins and the outs, in which
numerous friends participated, and where all
entered with zest and the best of feeling into
the festivities.
While entertaining the most kindly feel
ing toward the late officers, and wishing
them abundant prosperity in all their future
undertakings, we would not be understood as
indorsing their every official act. Indeed
there are some we could strongly condemn;
but not being disposed to scrutinise their Of
fetal conduct closely at this time, we tender
our hand, and wish them life long happiness
and success.
We are satisfied the people of Placer will
lose nothing by the change of admnistra-
ton, but have officers who are worthy their
entire confidence. They must, however, be
Judged by their acts-and these, we hope, the
taxpayers will closely scan, The late ad
pinistration did not succeed in bringing the
expenses of the county within its revenue
1t remains to be seen whether the new men
will be more successful.

Orleans and we will ship them package of the

CHAPTER 2.

Listsni ThsfSS shame and hissng snd coniemps, and

seom upon ne. BROwNrG-
The 2lstofseptember came, the day arang-
ed for the eonsummatisn of Arnold's treason
for delivering the stronghold Of the American
army. West Point, up to General Clinton.
Arnold, who had been Joined that day BY his
lovely wife, was at the garrison; but all her
faseinafions failed to drive the moOdiness from
his brow, or the dark fears which held him in
thrall from his heart.
That omen of the ruby cross had exerted a
wonderful effect upon him. He was BY nature
far removed from superstition, or any belief in
the wonderful. Sometimes he stroVe to believe
that It was but the fancy Of his own excited brain
yet il would not do. He had become nervous
and weak in the extreme, andthe veriest trAe
diseomposed and annoyed him.
And there, even before his eyes, he saw the
single, terrible word ''traitor;;" but the game
was begun, and he must play it out.
It wasa brilliant festival night at West Point;
for ball was given by the young officers Of the
gasri1on in honor Of their commander and his
youthful and beautiful wife. There were many
brilliant gatherings in those dzys-for Ameriea
bad accomplished bellies and beauties, and gay
and gallant men--but none where gsyer or brav.
e. met than on that night at the old fortress o.
West Point.
Such men as General Hamilton and Lafayette

warm and yielding as the fresh molten lava, hat
no time to cool and harden, and become lik,
iron in the seorie Of pride and revenge, which
afterwards encrusted it.
And in those Eve years Of.glory, whether on
land or sea, amid the Earning heats of southern
summer, or the rigors Of northern winter, be
never once quailed before the foe.
And even then, in the toilsoms march through
the wilderness, on the snoW-crowned heights Of
Quebec, at Saratoga. Danbury, and Champlain
il conquest and in glory, still that bIood-red
cross had never dimmed, but lay like sentinel
Of FIRE, guarding his heart-that heart which
amid its dreams Of glory, had well nigh forgot
ten the giver of this ruby amulet-sweet Inez
Yalasquez.
White Cloud Kansas chief. [volume] (White Cloud, Kan.) 1857-1872, 1857-12-03

beside her, amid her caresses and her tears, he
said, Inez, must depart"
"Nay, Inez, beloved, he whispered tender
~, "nay, it must be 50. Ny country has need
of all her sons to aid in her struggles, but when
the victory is won, then will come back to love
and thee"
And there, in that hour, Benedict Arnold
meant what he uttered. In his first youthful love
dream, that bold man was nearer the kingdom
of heaven than he ever was again. Had he kept
the faith he pledged; had he gone back to that
Spanish maid when the battles Of his country
were won; had he never woven for himself
schemes of aggrandzements and ambition-he
had been spared the name of " traitor"
But the voice of mad, unquiet spirit, was
stronger far than than of affection; he crushed
down all such thoughts, and said firmly, though
tenderly:-
"Inez, must go; but Will not forget. We
will meet again, beloved"
Yet ere he went forth from her presence for
ever, Insz Velasqusz had flung about his neck
slight golden chain of antique but exquisite
workmanship, from which hung suspended a
blood-red cross, cut from the sparkling ruby
stone.
"Wear this when you fight your country's bat
tles," she cried. "Wear it next your heart;-
twill guard you from harm. 1t was a gift to
my sire, by Granada's sovereign in his native
Spain. He has often worn it in the fray of war,
and i. proved talisman to guard him. When
the ruby CLEANS red as blood, safet y follows thy
footsteps; but if it pales then 6etoare, for dan
ger is nigh thee. Wear it for my sake; and,
looking upon it, remember Inez."
And this blood-red ruby cross, henccforth to
be worn next his heart, was Benedict Arnold's
talisman-his charrl-his amulet.
