here. Col Flood and Col Lynch: they both spoke:
Col Flood made plain, sensible speech, which
satisfied all of his friends that he was the man to
represent them toi Lynch was very restless all
the time Col +. was speaking. which was the best
proof that the co.'s shot struck. After Col.
Floods time was up. Col. Lynch took the stand,

speech that ever listened to, he ioundcred often

| The Raleigh Register illustrates tho extrava-

political friends against permitting disaf-
fected or boiling Democrats bringing the
Republican party into the "houst hold OF
the faithful" for the purpose of giving di-
rection to their primary or county conven-
tions. Believing that a coalition has, or is
about being formed between the leaders of
the Republican party, and the outs, the
"odds and ends " and the disa1ected Of all
other organizations that have ever had an
existence here, the present is most appro-
pirate time to counsel and urge an arousng
of the old Democratic guard 10 a sleepless
vigilance. Call your county conventions
early, and nominate as delegates none but
such as arc known to be true and tried Demo
Gratis, and who will be certain to attend.
We have a just reason to expect that a
nomination will be made for delegate to
Congress under the councils Of the true
hearted Democracy-men who can give a
reason for their attachment to the Demo
cratic faith-men who, had they been on
the theatre of action at the time, would
have stood by JACKSON in his darkest days
when malignity tracked him, and the
moneyed power even threatened revolution
men who no,0 are not summer politicians,
but nurtured in the storms of the past poll
ties of the nation. Let Puget Sound, the
Columbia river, the coast, and all sections Of
the interior come up to the convention, di-
vested of all sectional prejudices; and let
the convention eXemplify to the territory for
all time to come that the real democracy
are neither afraid or ashamed to show their
hands and avow their principles; that they
court the light, and invite Investigation; and
finally, that they will make such a nomina-
ton as will prove acceptable to the party,
and one upon whom all can unite and elect,
without the shadow of shade of doubt.

FRoM THE MlxEs.-Mr. JAcoB CRoLI, Of
this county, arrived here on the last trip Of
the Coastitation, direct from Puget Sound
Bar, Fraser river. He had remained there
constantly from the time he first commenced
prospecting.' Up to the time he left, he
represents that the miners were unable to
work, (sincc the commencement of wintcr)y
more than about one-fourth Of the time. A
portion Of the time, the weather was very
severe-the river having been frozen over
three several times Provisions were plen-
ty and no suffering on that score was ex-
perienced on the bar. Messrs HARTsocK,
KErLEY, MERCER, BILLINGS, Hicks, aud
others of our citizens are there, where they
viii remain until spring opens to give them
an opportunity to wash out their claims
thoroughly. The health of the bar was
good. Mr.. CRoLL says the bed rock had
been reached there, and it was found to be
entirely bare of gold He says that the
miners are generally in good spirits, and
expect TO make good thing of it before
the spring freshet Many are preparing to
90 up the river above the forks, as reports
from that quarter recently, are quite In
couraging. When Mr.. G. left, the weather
was growing miIder and the miners were
preparing to go regularly tework again.

GEN. HAENEY.-A few weeks since tbo
Puget Sound Herald undertook to throw
into ridicule the comments We thought proper
to make in reference to the able and patri.
otic letter addressed by Gen. HARNEY To
Acting-Gov. Mason, in response to resoIu-
tons Of the Legislature, complimentary of
that gallant officer. The Herald contain.
ing the article in question is not at hand
and if there was any point to the criticism
we have entirely forgotten it. We would
reply, in general terms, that we regard Gen,
HARVEY as not only one of the most emf.
nent military chieftains of the age, but be.
lieve that he is also endowed with intell.
gent and enlarged views of practical states
manship. His reputation belongs to his
country, and traduction through the columns
of the Hc'ald, from subordinatcs, hangers
on or retaiuers around military posts, will
but create for the authors contempt and
derison. Gen. HARNEY is a strict discipli-
marian and whilst he is ever ready to do
his own duty to the service and his country
well and promptly he is equally exacting
upon the subordinates under his command /;
hence it is but natural that he should incur
the general displeosure of the Feather bed .
wing of the army. TO all such, Gen. Woot,
or any other commanding officer, who, in an
Indian campaign would allow them to 60
into winter quarters at their own request,
and do as they might please generally, would
be their beau ideal of military cheftain.'
