SHOWING THEIR TRUE CoLoRs.-The political
guerrilas and lazaroni who rushed SO promptly
and furiously to the support of FeHeralLecompton-
ISM begin to show their true colors since the elec-
ton. Previous to that event they were loud in
their devotion to Popular Sovereignty and in pro-
claiming that Douglas was with the Administration.
They throw off the mask now, having no immediate
use for further hypocrisy. The Sierra Citizen nev-
er Democratic and scarcely pin-feathered in Le-
comptonism, remarkably active before the election
in proving that Douglas was with them, now &C.
cuses Douglas of the heinous rhine of having call
ed the Republicans '.Black,r and the Know 10Th
ings Thugs" and ''Night prowlers." Have not
the conductors of that paper for denouncing
him now that they dare and for sneering allu-
sions to his course as the promugator of the great
docrine of popular sosereignty,' and to himself as

the Lecompton press are anxious to annihalata the

as the death blows he now administers to the "buz-
yards, lazaroni, Danites, mud-heads, infamous
traitors and vagabonds'' of Lecomptonism

PRETTY CoNTEsT-Ths. Alta California and
Bulletin, of San Francisco, the two leading purity
reform organs of that imaculate city, engaged In
most exhilerating warfare upon each other. Ii
only one half of what they say Of each other be
only half true they are an interesting pair Of
reformers truly. The Alta says it has '.nailed the
black fasehoods upon the still blaeker frontet OF
their originator fthe editor of the Bulletin where
they will remain as more additional brand of
dishonesty other than that which nature located
there so plainly &c. To which the Bulletin re-
plies by designating the Alta in Sundry euphonious
Classic and pleasant terms-such as the palelivered
crew who control that agueish concern y ''souess
piece of crotchety humanity "who would desert
his country and religion y the cowardy treacher-
ous. mercenary, nerveless, rotten Alta y "crm
nal to make example of" &c. And this is jour
nalism in California in lS5s!-MarysriHe Express.
Such conduct-on the part of the San Francisco
Press is almost as dsgraceful and contemplate as
the advocacy of Lecomptonism in the present en-
lightened age.

"CALIFoRNIA HOME JoURNAL.n-This is the IT,

DEATH OF THE PHREsoroGIsT AND PHILOSOPHER
GEORGE CoABE.-So universally has Combe's Con-
stitution of Man been read in Afierca, says Lon
don correspondent Of the Bulletin, writing on the
10th August that news of the authors death cannot
be without interest in California. George Conbe
was man as remarkable in his way as your own
Franklin, and commands as wide fame, as a
shrewd. practical philosopher, whose lessons Of i
provement have done much to better the condition
humanity. Next to the Bible, and Robinson Crusoe
there have been greater number OF Combe's book
sold than Of any other work extant. Mr.. Combe
exemplifed in life the value of his teachings on
health, for though of weak frame, and a victim
OF pulmonary complaint, from early life, he pro-
longed his days to the full three and ten years
allotted to man. and enjoyed that life, too in spite of
disease and weakness. His brother, Dr. Andrew
Combe, who was similarly afflicted, attained also
to good old age, by aid Of a sound knowledge and
careful guidance. George Combe died few days
back, at Moor Park, celebrated place for hydro
pathic practice, though the Scotch philosopher was
not there as patient hut merely went to enjoy the
pleasant society always gathered together at that
establishment,

Junction Road COMPANY.


Pursuant to notice, the members of the above
named company met at Oroville, on the 4th day of
October, A. D. 1858, and organized by the election

CULTURE OF THE GEAPE IN Butte COUNTY
Mr.. Charles Schermer of Morris Ravine, three
miles from Oroville has small vineyard four years
from the seed grown on volcanic soil on the slope
OF the Table Mountain, that has produced a fine
revenue this season. Surplus grapes from this vine
yard have been converted into very superior arti-
Gle Of white wine. An interesting fact connected
with this vineyard, is, that it has been grown from
the seed taken from the Los Angeles black grape
and the product is a beautiful white grape-sweet
and delicate. The wine from it is free from the as,
cid and roughncss so peculiar to California wine
when new. We regard this an interesting and tri-
umphant discovery TO yine-growers.

AIRGUN SHooTISG-A few days ago, some ex-
perrnenting with an air gun took place at Eureka.
The gun was discharged at a mark set twelve feet
distant. One of the balls struck the mark, a nail
head and returned, hitting Of the parties pres

struck the same person on the leg. Percussion

weapon, which can be thrown SO as to return and
split the thrower's skull or kill the man next to

the purpose Of shooting at somebody, the bullet
might strike hard-head and rebound to kill or
wound the shooter-Sierra Cit,

INDIAN WAR IN THE NORTH We learn from the
Trinity Journal that Governor Weller has ordeled
the Indians of the northern counties to be logged
until they willing to be removed to the

eral kibbe to the North. accompanied by Colonel
Henly as bearer Of the Olive branch of reservation

TIE murderous redskins of that vicinity require
good fogging. But think of Col. Henly the late

From New YORK TO FRAzER.-From the San

on the 23rd of August She was heavily loaded
carrying over sixhundred and fifty passengers; one
hundred and twenty men crew, all told; one hun
dred and fifty tons of freight; coal enough to take

nlinnis Election.

The regular annual State election will take
place on the first Tuesday of November next.
San Francisco paper thinks the result of the cleo
ton in Illinois will make or break prominent
candidate of that State for the next Presidency
1t should not be so regarded. Stephen A. Douglas
of Illinois, will be the next Democratic candidate
for President without regBrd to the result of the
approaching election in that State. The national
principles which he now upholds in opposition to
the combined power of Republicanism and Le-
comptonism, cannot be put down by single State,
nor bv dozen States. 1t must require national
struggle to defeat national measures and national
men, The malignant venom of Federal-Lecomp-
tonism that sought a union with Republicanism to
exclude truly national man from councils that
they would see filled ouly by rabd sectionalists to
prey upon each other, will recoil upon itself, even
though the foul coalition should triumph in Hi
nois They cannot carry their prostitution base
ness and treachery into the campaign of 1860. The
power that forced Buchanan to abandon the priA-
ciple of popular sovereignty, wonld never permit
him to carry his unholy and corrupt coalition into
a national campaign They would like to see the
halls of Congress become heield of battle between
the North and South-between Lecomrtonism and
Repubicanism. They would have no national man
to interpose in their Sc tiona Hence their
union against Douglas in Illinois. They vainly

and unscrupulous use of power, would leave the

comptonism. Vain as was the hope to pass Le-
compton! Vain as was the hope to force the En-
gish infamy upon the peote of Kansas Vain as
were the Democratic hopes of Mr.. Buohanan's ad-
ministration. They may defeat Douglas now, but
they will not dare to defeat him in 1850. Without
not hesitate to encounter Republicansm, and we
confess that should consider it a fight between
sectional skunks, which, suit as it might would
involve the triumph of one section over another.
Lecomptonism dare not measure strength with Re-
publicanism with Douglas in the field with his Ma
tional doctrine of Popular Sovereignty. The Ma
tional men of the South would rally to his support
as the only refuge from the sectional retaliation
they had invoked, leaving the Hammonds Il eitts,
Masons, with the government tools they have col
rupted to their base purposes to wage ther sectional
war. The only refuge of the country will be in the
Douglas policy. The South will see it and gladly
act upon it. The better portion of the North, glad
to escape from the sectional strife to which they are
invited by Lecomptonism and Republicanism
would aid in the inauguration of national principles
amid the triumph of which Lecomptomism and
Repubcani-m will pass into oblivion, and be re-
mcmbered only as a national nightmare, which for
time paralyzed the energies and patriotism of the
nation

of the gold districts of the Pacific, including Fra.

is attached to Brigham Young's domains. Com
mencing at the north, Greenland hangs down like
bullock's heart-then comes New Caledonia, Wa
shington Territory, Oregon, and Utah extending
west to the Pacific, and south to Mexico! This at
tachment to Brigham's harem may occasion sur :
prise with some Californans, and has probably
been occasioned by our harem-scarem population.
