Dissolution of the Union.

The Sacramento Standard processes to favor q
dissolution of the Union unless Congress gives
heed to our prayers for Pacific Railroad. 1t
says:
The road must be built, or California cannot
afford to remain in the Confederacy of the States
This document (the memorial of the late Con-
rention to Congress) we regard as the ultimatun
of the Pacific Coast. If it should fail to arouse
Congress and the country to a sense of their
duty in reference to the Pacific States and Ter
rltories, the Standard for one Journal will never
again agtate this question"
This is very silly talking for a leading Dem
ocratic newspaper. This fippant manner Of
speaking of the dissolution of the Union, should
be considered a crime. Just imagine that JEFF
ferson and Jackson could tread this earth fol
one short hour, and hear such remark coming
from the editor of an organ of the party to which
they gave lustre, more especially by making ii
the peculiar friend Of the Union than by aught
else How would they not stand amazed, and
how would not the old hero thunder for one
of his by the eternals! !"
Or suppose Washington could appear in life
again, how would he not rebuke Mr. Bolts, as a
son of his own native State, for thus talking
lightly of that which is of more value to us than
a thousand railroads We may infer the char
acter OF the rebuke which he would administer
by reading the subjoned extract from his Fare
we'll Address:
1.-THE unity Of government, which constitutes
you one people, y X is a main pillar in
the editice of your real independence-the sup
port of your tranquility at me, your peace
abroad, of your safety, of your prosperity of that
very liberty which you SO highly prize. Z
AS this is the point in your political fortress
against which the batteries of internal and ex-
ternal enemies will be most constantly and ac-
lively Though often covertly and insidiously,
directed,-it is of infinite moment that you
should properly estimate the immense value o.
your national union to your collective and in
dividual happiness; that you should cherish q
cordial, habitual, and immoyable attachment tc
it; accustoming yourselves to think and speak
of it as of the palladium of your political
safety and prosperity watching for its presery-
alton with jealous anxiety dlscountenancing
whatever may suggest even a suspicion that il
can, in any event. be abandoned and indig.
nantly frowning upon the first dawning of every
attempt to ALLEVIATE any portion OF our country
from the rest, to enfeeble the sacred ties which
now link together the various parts.

The Southern Opposition Party.

We presume the character of the Southern
Opposition party may be inferred from the posi-
tions assumed by its leaders in public speeches,
inasmuch as yet no authoritative platform has
been promulged. Ex-senator John Bell, of
Tennessee, is the acknowledged Ajax, while the
Richmond (va.) Whig is recognized as one of
the leading organs. In that paper of Sept. 9th
we find the following article;
The Hon. John Bell, of Tennessee, in re-
cent speech at Memphis, said he was now held
up as an ally of the Black Republicans of the
North, willing to coalesce and cooperate with
them for the sake of promotion He was will
ing to cooperate with the Black Republicans
of the North, for the sake of preserving this
Government, and perpetuating the American
Union Nay, he was willing to go farther than
this-he citting to cooperate epen 'cah the
corrupt and profigate leaders Of the Democracy, to
accomplish the same desirable object.
After this, no man can doubt Mr. Bells de-
votion TO the Union. We love the Union our
selves but the idea of cooperating with DEM
ocratic sharpers and spolsmen for the sake Of
preserving it, produces nausea and pain in the
stomach.
Here, ii will be observed, Mr.. Bell says that,
in order to preserve the Union, he is willing to
coalesce and cooperate with the Black Repub-
lcans first; after that, if such coalescence and
cooperation proves Intellectual, with the DEM
ocracy. And the Wing quotes the declaration

Appointment of senator.

The Sacramento Union, the Bee, the S. F. Bul-
ltin, and various other opposition papers, oppose
the appointment of Senator by the Governor,
to fill the vacancy created by the death Of Mr.
Broderick Gov Weller should know that these
papers would mot take this position unless they
thought his failure to appoint would either in-
jure himself or his party. The politician who
acts upon the advice of the enemies of his party
is sure to find himself cast out by that party as
an unsafe agent.
1t is clearly the imperative duty of Governor
Weller to make this appointment. He has no
right even to hesitate No where, in either State
or Federal Constitution, is the power placed
within his discretion to say when it is to the in
terest of California to be but partly represented
in the Senatorial councils Gov. Weller nav
think that half representation in the United
States Senate for three or four months, or for
the whole session, may prove advantageous to
the State, but he has no right TO act upon such
thought That is no part of his business
Whether our State shall be fully represented or
not, is for the people. through their representa-
tives, to say. Gov. Weller has no voice in the
matter. As well might he say to the people of
San Francisco, g One of your Senators has re-
signed-l think it is 10 your interest not to have
a full delegation in the next State Senate-hence
| refuse to call special election" To be sure
he can do this if he chooses, but would it1sis'
right? And so of the vacancy in the atnltTu
Stota II 1 IL ~
ton makes it his duty to do or he may not, but
will his refusal to do so be right? We think
not, and hence hope he will make the appoint
ment As we said before, let him make such an
appointment as will be creditable to himself, and
even such an one as will promote his own
chances of success before the Legislature No
sensible man will find fault with such motive

BA% The Beacon, with that peculiar arro-
gance ever accompanying sef-conceit, puts "Mr
Dosh' upon the stand and then proceeds to pro-
pound several questions to him, touching his
action in q caucus" several years ago We make
a profound salam to this self-appointed Judge
who, it has been intimated to US, is a gentleman
greatly embittered against us because of bis
failure to obtain Senatorial honors-which fail
ure some think was chiefly brought about bv
our burlesquing the famous "Shasta Chinese
War We regret that that gentleman harbors
such bitterness towards US, and think it in ra-
ther bad taste for him thus, week after week,
with his little pop gun, to continue shooting pins
at US from behind the brawney shoulders of the
editor of the Beacon. We trust our informant
was in error lfnot, then we should think, now
that the bitterness of the strife has been drown
ed in the rejoicings of glorious victory, that
Ned" would find it agreeable to his feelings,
and in conSonance with the promptngs of old
friendship, to cease war, that can result in no
benefit to himself nor injury to others, upon one
who stands not in his way, (although he may
believe otherwise) and who would take real
pleasure, on fitting occasion, in promoting his
interests.

The Cottonwood Mining Region.

The diggings on North Cottonwood, Roaring
River, Crow Greek, Squaw Creek, &C., all in
cluded under the name of the Cottonwood Dig
gings, have recently acquired an importance,
and reputation for "paying," second to no mines
in our county. At Gaspoint, now called James
vile, located on North Cottonwood, about eight
miles east ofHorsetowu, quite fo'. rshing little
town has sprung up, and the chances are that,
in the course of another year it will the second
town in size in the county. The surrounding
mines yield upon average So per day to the
hand. The mines upon Roaring River, Squaw
Creek, Grow Greek, &C., also yield about the
same average. At present there are some 300
miners in the Cottonwood diggings, and during
the approaching winter the number will doubt
less be trebled. 1t is believed this mining region
is more extensive than that of Horsetown. At
present it is in part supplied with water by the
ditch of Messrs. Love, Fowler & Co., work
some nine or ten miles in length and admirably
constructed--capable of carrying as large a
body of water Clear Greek ditch. Messrs
Romer, Luny Il Co, of Horsetown also at
HOIh lHe COuTSe VI their uIlCu So as 10
command the mines at and Immediately sur
rounding Janesville Upon the completion of
this enterprise the Janesyille diggngs will at
once draw large mining population. Eight
dollar diggings, with plenty ofwates at fair rates,
are just what thousands OF men all over this
State are seeking.
At present Janesville contains one hotel, kept
by Mr.. Wood, a boarding house, kept by Mr.
Arlington, a blacksmith shop, owned by Mr.
Bldwell, two trading posts, owned by Frank
Waters and Gus. Martin, besides sundry other
establishments that we are not informed Of
1t will certainly be good thing for our
county if the Cottonwood Diggings are as ex-
tensiye and rich as represented to US. That they
have not been misrepresented we are quite sure
for the reason that our information comes from
a gentleman who never resided in that section
of the county and does not own dollars worth
of property therein.

Arrival of the Overland Mail.

The overland mail, with dates from St. Louis
to Sept. 29th, has arrived.
The sailing of the Great Eastern had been de-
layed to the Goth inst.
Princess Clotilde is supposed to be, &c. Ditto
Empress Eugenia.
Military movements are continued through
out Italy, indicating that the Italians are de-
termined to rely on themselves.
The Spanish expedition against Morocco has
been fixed at 1900 troops, the transports for
which are all ready.
Washington correspondents say the report that
President Mora designed returning to Costa Rica
and appealing to the people, is without founda-
ton. He remains in New York to await news
from home.
Instructions will be sent 10 Mr.. Dimitrry on
the 5th october directing him to recognize at
once the new government and open Negotiations
for the settlement of American claims.
lntimaticns received i'll diplomatic circles here
would justify the belief that England and France
will again be allies in terrible war, and that
China will be made to suffer severely for her
late attack upon the English troops.
The rumor that Russia had finger in it is
fully credited.

B@. Senator Toumbs, OF Georgia, in recent
speech, passed a warm eulogy upon Senator
Douglas, pronouncing him an able and fearless
statesman and true patriot In the same speech
be plainly indicated his preference for Douglas
for the nomination for President by the Charles
ton Convention. For this the Charleston Mer-
cury an independent, fre-eating paper, abuses
him horribly, says he glories in his own shame,
and feels hattered always by any demonstration
that would make other men blush. The oppo-
sion papers in this State are fond of quoting the
diatribes of the Mercury against Douglas, and
they almost invariably seek so leave the impress
sion upon the minds of their readers that the
Mercury is an acknowledged organ ofthe South
Carolina Democracy. 1t is simply an organ Of
the fre-eaters, of extremists, and never has been
a Democratic organ.

Gen. Scott Mt San Francisco.

This grand old Hero had glorious reception
at San FRANCISCO on Sunday last, upon the ar
rival of the steamer which bore him hither-
The whole military of the City, and the greater
portion of the entire population, turned out to
welcome the old warrior to these shores, which
his sword so ESSENTIALLY aided in winning for our
country. The S. F. Herald, speaking of the
affair, says of it
Fifty years hence, when San Francisco will
be a great City of million or more inhabitants,
when her distinguished guest of yesterday shall
have passed away, the child who witnessed,
with gladdened and delighted eyes, the pageant
OF his reception, then man advanced in years,
will tell with pride and self gratulation-that
long ago when San Francisco was yet in its in
fancy, and town of some eighty thousand peo
pie, he saw General Scott escorted through the
streets by an ardent and enthusiastic multitude,
garlanded with evergreens, and the recipient of
a homage so eager, so affectionate and so pro-
found as must have stirred the heart of the old
warrior to its lowest depths. The scene of this
ovation battles all description. Orderly it was,
too, and full OF dignity; not so noisy as if it
were not the Lords day, but so genuinely de-
monstrative of respect and veneration that its
sincerity could not be doubted. San Francisco
has never seen such sight, and it will be long
before she will such another Her citizens have
done themselves infinite credit, in paying so
handsome tribute to the illustrious veteran
whose duty calls him to our shores"
The following day. the old General proceeded
on his mission of peace, to settle atnicably the
difficulty growing out of the dispute as to which
Government, the American or British, belongs
the Island of San Juan, one of the De Haro
Archipelago, in the Straits of Fuca.

B45H The Democratic vote at the last election
in this county, was las greater than the COM
bined vote Of Tehanaa and Colusa. Tehama cast
s97 votes-of which TO were for Latham
Colusa cast 772 votes-of which SAL were given
for Latham While Shasta cast 1896 votes-of
which Latham received I456. The chances are
that Shasta will have an equal voice in the no.

Nor So.-We learn from the Beacon that the
Sacramento Union and Bee have presented the
name of Col. Lewis, of Tehama, in connection
with the appointment of Senator to supply the
vacancy created by Mr.. Broderick's death. The
Beacon declares that this procedure on the part
of those two bitter Opposition papers was
wholly without the authority of him or his
friends" The Beacon says it cannot be expected
that the Colonel will aspire to this exalted posi-
ton, for the reason that "the Constitution lie
quires that Senators shall &c or the age of 80
years. and Col. Lewis is now but 28." The
Beacon, however, thinks the Colonel would even
now "ill the Office with as much credit to the
State as did Mr.. Broderick."

The official vote of these counties gives the

Norte was omitted in the calculation. Her vote
swells the aggregate to 81, 1863 The Herald also

1t Is surely not too much to claim one-fourth -
This will swell the aggregate vote of the mining
counties to 1894. The entire vote of the State
