WEAVERV VILE:
sATURDAY MORNING, AUG. rs, 1858.

THE PREsIDENT.-Mr. Buchanan's Presidential
fame will be but dusky shadowing of great
statesman. The range of his walk will parallel
that Of Pierce, rather than Jefferson and Jackson
His administration has demonstrated that crafty
politician and cunning diplomatic may lack the
requirements of a self-relant and far-seeing ma
tional Executive. He has left the exalted proph-
eces of his election unfulflled, and now stands
before the nation helpless, vaeilating old man,
gesticulatipg to either pole, while the displaced
wheels of government are jarring all around
him. Endeavoring to hush the querelous babe
of disunion in the South, he is terrified by the
roar of an uprisen northern lion, whose angry
admonitions send ingling among the Wheat
land Sage's' hair. Mr. Buchanan is not Just now
the Lycurgus statesman with whom the people
seek to deposit their surplus money, nor is he the
Napoleon whose omnpotent voltion can create
propitious circumstance, nor is he the Brutus
who brandishing the instrument of murder most
foul, could rouse an avenging people to detbrone
a race of Tarquins. He is the President of peace
full plotting diplomacy, rather than the quick
arbiter Of fierce dissension, international or civil
Turning in perplexing extremity to his people,
his eager ear can discover no encouraging and
approving shout looking into the house of his
friends he perceives discord and dismay; review
ing each page Of his public fife be underscore
no record in which be rose parallel with any
gigantic intelligence of his time. He has pro-
nounced no imperishable oration, has accompiis-
he'd no dariDg feat of craftsmanship which will
leave bis name on a promontory under which
posterity may pass, bowing reverently as they
go but, as with nervo Gus fingers be turns the
even-written pages Of commonplace record, his
own convictions must be that all through eventful
years he has walked middle platform of great
ness, and that after the elimination of bis fame
be WILL as ruler, be compelled to descend along
the coffin ranks of American Presidents and lie
parallel with Poor Pierce
We are not one of those who question the pat
rotic intent of the President, or who delight in
denouncing every one elevated to high place
Mr.. Buchanan will live in the national record as
a statesman of middle rank, skillful diplomat
ist and patriot whom posterity will honor
ameng the lesser geds ; but among the monu-
ments of Jefferson, Jackson, Calhoun and Clay
the little pyramid of bis greatness will be but
stumbling block over which the patriotic pilgrim
will bow to higher devotion.

SHANE on THE HYPoCRTTE.-The Sacramento
Union is down on the Alta Telegraph and Jas.
NJ. Mcdonald, who owns most of the line, and is
candidate for Senate. 1t is eternally bowling
about the Alta Telegraph, which will not be con-
troled by that miserable, huckstering newspaper
The Telegraph is now owned by parties who
could hypotbecate the Union establishment, for
an inconsiderable debt, and not feel the embar-
rassment and because reports are furnished to
other newspapers the driveling thing makes vir-
tuous outcry. Persons who know what very
collapsed leech the Union is, will laugh at its mis-
cradle afectaion of honesty, fair dealing and in
corrubtible principle.

COMMONWEALTH EsT-HoUsEs.-The condition
of the Custom House. Mint and other Federal
soup-houses is deplorable; they are filed with fat
and greasy retainers, the condition of whose Off
cial existence is servie obedience to Administra-
tion direction in and out of Office. They are paid
enormous salaries from which tribute is exacted
to control conventions and perpetuate the power
which creates them; decaptation, arbitrary and
unexplained, following any act of citizen-like
independence as certainly as death overtakes
malefactor on the scaffold More than hundred
of these Federal creatures were present at a late
convention in Sacramento, from the Collector
and Mint Superintendent down to the sweeper
and factotum OF the several departments. They
have newspapers which, under the name and
direction o. party draw their sustenance from
these monster houses of corruption, and whose
business it is to make straight the crooked paths
of official derelectors and hush up the complain
ngs of the people. Agents are appointed to
lg1perintend agents; secret watchmen are COM
lissioned to detect the peculatons of other
ustodans and so on, almost to ininty, and at
IN expenditure unparalleled in the economy Of
ther States.
Such is the power behind the throne aiming at
erpetuity of rule, by forging instruments of
efenee from ingots in the treasury, against pop
aar revolution Of opinion. In such smitheres
bowshares have been wrought TO CRATE among
be broken fragments of civil structures glorious
As our own.

KENrucKY FIGHTING PREAcnEn.-The CineiD

KENTUCKY FIGHTING PREAcHER.--The CineiD-
natl Commercial relates
AT a church meeting in one of the fashion
able orthodox churches in Anderson county,
KY. a clergyman asked for and obtained a letter
of demission for himself and some of the members
of his family. He then said that if any of the
brethren had anything to say about him, to now
declare is, or after hold their peace WhereupoH
another preacher said something, which was not
heard by all the congregation, but the lie passed
between them. The preacher who called for the
letter, drew back h is fist and struck the other
preacher heavy blow and then commenced kick
ing him. He kicked him so hard that he demol
ished his boot. The defendant, being non-resis-
tant,' made no defence, but went before magis-
trate and made complaint. The assalant was
fined $40 and costs, and submitted, besides, TO a
long lecture from the Court. The pugnacious
divine is a good looking man, of fine talents,
great pulpit orator, with prepossessiDg manners.
The fight has raised his standing among his breth-
ren. Some OF the members of a neighborng
church have sent him word, if he will 60 to their
next church meeting and whip their preacher,
they will pay the fine now against him, and any
other one that may be imposed upon him."

FATE OF THE LOST PREACHER "A year ago
last February, Rev. Mr. Brooks persisted in the
snow on Salmon mountain, and though diligent
search was made no trace of him could be found.
He was tracked round the head Of Coffee Creek,
going parallel with the trail but in evident be-
wilderment, but fresh snow at length obliterated
his track. In October succeeding Reverends
Reasoner and Simonds again went in search Of his
remains but ascending the mountain were driven
back by storms. A few days age his bones
watch, twenty dollar piece and package o.
tracts were found near a house on the north side
of the mountain, telling the sad story of the good
mans death. He had perisbed almost in sight o.
shelter. A frigbtful death among the rigorous
SHOWS of winters dreariest domain; yet In the
Christians belief, angel, warm with the breath
of everlasting life, lifted the immortal part of
the glacial shroud and warmed. it in the bosom
which sheltered the out cast beggar. What a
sermon those mutilated tracts preached to the
fnder-they were the lost ones burden of sal
vaton.' How eloquently the index rusted on the
dial of his watch told of the frghtful hours Of
slow, benumbing death.

KINDNESS, LIKE Goals OF FIRE, on THE HEAD.
!. I'm reply to what we deemed insulting remark by
the San Francisco Times, we 'spake bitter things,
the more provoked by the disposition of part of
the city press to belittle our co-workers in the
mountains. In reply the Times has written an
elaborate article of the most fraternal kindness
and approval, mentioning us by name, and ac-
cording more of desert than we can hope to mer-
4 it. We are reproved, abased, and ashamed Of
having sought to wound the feelings of men no.
BILE enough in heart to return good for evil. We
desire to recall each severe offending word and
to deplore the weakness and injustice betrayed
in a moment of modification and anger. Our
offence has been public, our punishment has been
of that god like Kind which turns the other cheek
of forbearance when once wrongly stricken our
atonement is, we trust, Of that manly sort which
will sootbe the throbbing wound Of a cruel and
misguided blow.
We cannot, with good taste, print the kind and
fattering observations of our unknown friend
but we can send them to where they will make
sunshine in the house, and where they will be en-
graved on more enduring tablets. And we can
thank the writer, assuring him Of outstretched
hands of friendship, and Of an open door in
which he may find sanctuary in time of trouble.
