Of the former city were swept from the valley.

sions and substantial business houses, which
can bid defiance to both storm and fire.
There are solid reasons for the steady march
Of Improvement which has manifested itselfin
Piaessville. We are in the very heart Of the
best and most permanent mining locality in
ths State We have better and more extern
sive water privileges, than any town in the
mountains. Our quartz lodcs and tunnel dig
gings arc as reliable and as productive, in the
aggregate. as any in California Our soil, in
the vicinity wherever spot is susceptible Of
cultivation is extremely prolific and easily
irrigated. In short, every thing in and about
Placerville is . permancncy and VIC know it.

PRoHHEs.-We understand that tho Brod-
CrickitCs are holding out inducements to fshY
Democrats to join tho Brodcrick Republicans.
They hunt up the wavering, fatter them with
the promise Of nomination, which they have
no intention of rcdeeming. aud hope by this
means to seduce them from their allegiance.
The in1uc;mcnt for assertions are certainly
not very tempting. Still, if there arc any who
are convinced that they would feel more at
homo in the camp Of the BrOderick Republic
cans, VIC shall be the last to dissuade them
from taking the fatal step. We do not APP
prove of remaining in one party, and at
the same time holding to the principles of its
opponents. Those who believe in the doctrines
Of Brodcrick- Republicanism, who do not OBJ
iect 10 become the facilc instruments Of worth
less dcmagogucs and bankrupt politicians.
would certainly act consistently by taking up
their quarters in the camp Of the nigger-wor-
shippers and their allies. And the Democratic
party would thereby be strengthened. The
good and true dislike to be associated with
the unprincipled and corrupt; and Broderick-
ism teaches nothing that is commcndablc.-
The most dangerous enemies of party, as the
Democracy have long since been taught by
permitting the satellites Of Brodcrick to coop
crate with them, arc those of its own house

Convention, failed to get their masters tools

That have blossmed in the summer OF my

Now I stand alone mid the flowers

the pen of the gifted Geo. D. Prentice
"Once more, again, Time in the cycle OF
its seasons has brought to us the rich and
mellow tints of the forest-the clear and
bright cerulean sky-the cool and bracing
atmosphere of autumn. All nature seems
to be imbued with the calm and tranquil
spirit of philosophic resignation to the
DEGREES of fate, and quiet submission to
the destiny of unavoidable and speedy
dissolution. Nature, hushed into digni-
fed and graceful repose, seems as if it
we're preparing to chant the requiem Of
its own death, and, like victims that saw
age nations immediate to propitiate their
gods, is gaily apparraled for the sacrifice.
The earth still covered with its mantle Of
faded green, appears as if it clung with
jealous care to its Juvenile vestments, while
the tree and the vine have donned the liv.
cry of Autumn and are decked in the gor-
geous, glittering, many-hued mosaic that
precedes and proclaims natures dpproach
to the "sere and yellow leaf" that bodies
decay and dissolution. Autumn is a gor-
geous, glorious, luxurious season. Go
where you will-whether on land or on
water, on hill or on dale, on the plain or
in the fOrest--you breathe the same life
inspiring bracing air, that only Autumn
brings. Responsive to the healthful breeze
the life-blood courses quickly through the
swelling veins, and the excited nerves tin
gle with the keen sensations of intense
delight. To shoot the bird--to chase the
stag-to fish in some clear, swift-fowing
stream, are the sports of this most elite Of
seasons. Ye sickly, money -enamOred crew
who sit from early morn to dewy eve, po-
ring over the pages of your ledgers, OF
counting gains that only add more metal
to the boards you have, quit for time
your mercenary musings and HE ye to
the fields or forest---breathe the pure air
bid your soul to revel at the glorious feast
that bounteous nature in lavish profusion
has spread before you and recognizing
the majesty and power Of God, in the fru-
ition Of the blessings he has bestowed, at
tune your feelings in unison to the mild
splender Of the sdrrOunding scenes, and
elevating your thoughts above and beyond
this world, rest them on Heaven and itI
high hopes.
The genius of man has contriyed to in
dicate the progress of Time by the ma
chinery Of the clock aud movements Of
the watch, but God marks it's progress on
a grauder scale by the revolutions Of the
planets and the changes of the seasons.--
Days form months, months mako seasons
and seasons compose :be year. Mans life
like the year, has its seasons. In the
spring time oflife all Is freshness, verdan
Oy, and hope. In hissummer, man ripsn'
