DIsAPPoiNrED.-A large number of
people were in the city on Tuesday
night to hear Col Baker, who had been
announced to appear. Mr. Sargent
mounted the stand at the proper hour
Tor opening the meeting and said that
he ha1receiveda a dispatch, from Goi: Ba-
ker stating that he had been suddenly
called to Sacramento on important bu-
siness. and could moi, therefore. fill his
appointments at this time in Nevada
County. but that be would do so bcf",r
she election. So large n crowd being i.
attendance it was deemed proper t" "r-
game, which was accordingly dnne by
calling Us. Crossman. Esq to the chair
James Churchman was called for who
came forward and spoke near two hours
In bis familiar style, in which the ludi-
ernus was sometimes happily blended. =
At the conclusion Of his speech the
meeting adjourned.

In fear Of fusion between the Re-

In fear Of fusion between the Re-
publicans and Anti-Lecomptonites on
the congressional candidates, our admin
istration friends are getting ridiculously
nervous. One editor who prides him
self on uttering "Black Republican"
more spitefully than any competitor
makes most pathetic appeal to the
negro worshippers. They are conjured
by all that is high and holy not to de-
moralize and debase themselves by an
alliance with the Antics. Another begs
and pleads with old Democrats to for
get all differences between brethren Of
the same family "for the sake of the
Union" and come up to the support Ct
the part-. No more afectionatc and
earnest entreaties did young rascals ever
hear in favor of coming to the anxious
seat in Methodist Camp meeting; and
the effect is quite the same. It'll ANUS
ing TO witness the paternal care and So
ci:ude evincedhy our Lec"mpton friends
for the virtue of their late most bitter
enemies. Their disinteres,edness is re.
freshing. Not for the world would
they see their two opponents disgrace
themselves by Il fusion Oh, no. But
somehow reason will triumph over affec-
lion. Stubborn fact is more powerful
than s.Niobe, all tears" The people
balance Baker and McKibben with
Buroh and Scott and find the last too
light by half I" so to Congress. They
are left to choose between mind and
matter---betweer men and lubber
weight, and good sease withstands the
pathetic.

COL. bAkER.-Acain and again th1s
gifted orator and statesman throws of
fhe bright scintillations ofan inexhaust.
ible genius, eclipsing all previous eff 'rts
with the last. while the people every
where rise up IN masse to do him honor.
His speech at Forest Hill is truly a
magnificent one. abounding in lofty sen-
,imemts and transcendent beauties. He
has wo, for himself in this canvass the
title of "Old man eloquent" The peo-
pie Of this State for once behold talents
on the stump in the person of candi-
date for Congress. They see man pre-
scented for their sufffages who is worthy
of their confidence and support, as we'll
for his ability to represent and defand
their interests on the Hoor Of Congress,
as for brave services on the battle field
rendered to his country. Col Baker is
soldier, true and tried. ike a true
paIadin he dcspises opposing odds and
unsheatbes his flashing sword for the
weak in the cause ofright. Enseduced
by the hope of power and place. he bat
tied manfully for the Wing party by
tie side Of Clay, and there is not a
friend of the immortal statesman who
does not feel himself drawn as by the
cords uf brotherhood to Col. Baker for
tn e devotion, the el"quence, the integri-
ty he exhibited of y"re in the glorious
cause. In every part Of the State
Wings scattered up and down among
the parties are bound to break through
all party restraint and vote for him.
Nor is the disposition confined to the
Wings alone. Everywhere Democrats
Of every stripe are struck with the mag
niticent powers Of mind evinced by Col.
Baker. They admire the exalted
qualities of head and heart Of gallant
political opponent and on the day OF
election will drop tribute Of just ap-
preciation in the ballot box. The de-
nunciations and threats against boilers,
the insane howl about Black republican
ism. ana the pathetic appeals of file-
leaders, are of no effect in this canvass.
Men will vote as their feelings prompt
and judgments dictate. in spite Of party
drill and the party lash. 1t matters not
whether union is effected between the
Republicans and Popular Sovereignty
men or not The people will vote for
Baker and McKibben with enthusiasm
on the day of election. They see Scott
and Burch as the alternatives. 1t would
be libel upon the people to suppose
they are not able to make an Intelligent
choice.

HORACE GREELEY.-The advent of

politics of the State. to the detriment Of
the party which sits like an incubus up
on the railroad as well as every other
interest ef California. lie will by his
return to New York have made himself
familiar with the routes across the con,

thereto will have powerful influence

longs, to determine Oh which route the
great railroad is to he built. The vo!u-
able and reliable information he will
bear to the great hive Of popu! aiion on

slaves of party who spit their slime at
Horace Gree.ey are enemies Of the
State. No better friend has California
ever had and certainly hone ADLER. or
more powerful for her good. His cem-
ing among us. his acquaintance with our
people, his enjoyment Of our Italian cli-
mate, his knowledge derived from per-

tality in California is not more than a
quarter as great. in proportion to the
population, as it was before 1853. This

1RRIoATsoN.-Some time since We
wrote an article setting forth the evil
tendencies of irrigation as practised in
the mountains. The ideas were origi.
nal with US, and were suggested by our
own observations. We see that some
Of the agricultural journals of the State
are discussing the same matter now. and
we are glad that men of larger expert
ence and with abler pens are investisa-
ting the subject.
1t is quoried il nature is not the best
teacher. and whether in the adaptation
of things trees have not the power with
in themselves to adapt themselves to
the soil and climate in which they are
to grow, without artificial aids. A tree
growing on moist ground will have only
surface roots. If the ground be very
moist the roots will be SC near the sur
face as to be largely exposed, while, on
dry s"ils trees root deep. Sudden
draining If swamps often kills tie tim
Der. These facts and few observa-
tions may be of great value to mount
ain culturists in teaching them how to
treat their orchards. 1t has been found
that plants throw out innumerable small

ties. The INSTINCT Of the plant is to get
n"urishment where i, can find it, and
finding it upon the su face it is satisfied
and does not put forth its energies to
find it at more enduring source. But
leave The plant or tree to Itself. and its
natural tendency is to push its roots
where moisture is sure to be found at
all Seasons of the year. As the rains
descend into the earth or become dissi-
pated from the surface by evaporation.
gradually. as the moisture becomes
scarcer, will the roots reach downward
to obtain it until at last the tree will
have obtained a firm and substantial
foundation that no drouth can effect.
The system of irrigation which builds
up surface roots at the expense of deep
ones in this dry climate must be wrong
and dangerous, for. should the water
fail to be supplied at the surface the
feeders would soon be destroyed or
seriausly injured by the drouth and
before other aud deeper feeders could be
formed.
The subject "f irrigation, however,
needs thorough investigation, which.
judging from the interest manifested i'll
it at present it is quite likely to get.
