This is filthy paper published in Louisiana,
and Edited by one San, Bard. IIescnlls us "a
barking dog.'' We can't return the compli-
ment. He is dumb dog, and does not even
groul. He walks about with Slideii's collar on
his neck, belongs to Slidell, eats his meat and
bread and drinks such liquor. and smokes such
cigars as are furnished him by slidell. To be
the dog of a gentleman is degrading, hut to be
the criaging cur of as corrupt and as mean q
man as John Slidell is known to be, is ALSO
lutely infamous. Whg
Our firm and faithful advocacy Of the genu-
inc Democracy has called forth the malice and
hate of every ass in the land. Old Brownlow
recently remarked that on visiting Washington
he felt strong disposition to steal some
thing" We never doubted his propensity te
steal. for what is born in the bone, is sure te
be made manifest in the flesh. Brownlow il
the prince of blackguards and the king of all
modern liars, and his arrows fall harmless al

since gone forth as a stink offering to tht

Eastern Election Returns and General News

The Pony Express with st. Louis dates to Oct.
10th, reached Miller's Station on Monday after
noon. The news brought is of special impor-
tance, especially that of political nature.
The election returns from Pennsylvania, Ohio
and Indiana, are of nature to cause great re-
ioicng with the Republicans of California. The
State elections in each have resulted in gain,
and unexpected triumph by the Republican party.
We copy the following summing up from the
LInion of Monday:
In Pennsylvania Curtns majority is from 49,
600 TO 100000 Both branches of the Legislature
are Republican by an increased majority
The Republican Congressman elected are
Morris Verree, Kelly, Davis, Hickman, Scranton,
Grow, Hale. Blair, Covode, Stevens, Killinger,
Campbell, Junkin, Mcpherson, Moorhead, Patton,
Mcknight, Stewart, Babbtt: Democrats. Cooper,
Lehman, Johnson, Morgan-Lazear, Ancona and
McKenty for the short term.
in Ohio there are great Republican gains. The
majority is upwards Of 20,000. The members
elected are Brown, Gurey, Horton, Trimble
Democrats Pendleton, Valandgbam, Allen, Cox,
Morris. Noblc--a gain. The Congressman will
stand l3 Republicans to Democrats.
in Indiana, the Republican State ticket is cleo
ted by upwards Of ten thousand majority. The
Legislature is largely Republican. The Con
gressmen, who are Republicans, are Dunn, White,
Julian, Porter, Colfax, Mitchell, Nelson and
Shanks Independent, Davis and Peabody.
The Breckenridge electoral ticket in New York
was Withdrawn on the 10th, and fusion of all
the opposition elements against the Republicans
was in contemplation. The Tunes Washington
correspondent wrote that President Buchanan
had pledged his influence to that effect.
The Brecknridee candidate for Governor in
Florida is elected by 1915 majority. In Virginia
the Breckenridge and Douglas parties had failed
in attempt to fuse The Central route has been
selected as the most preferable by the Pacific
Telegraph men. The steamship Connaught, from
Boston to Galway, was burned at sea on the 9Th.
The passengers and crew we're all saved. The
report from Mexico is that the Liberals were sue
cessful everywhere A proposed negro insurrec-
tion had been discovered at Princess Anne, Vir-
ginia.

proclaimed myself an Independent candidate for
The Assembly, for this county. ] now withdraw
my name from the canvass. 1t is from no lack
Of confidence in my friends or in the Democratic
faith have ever held, but simply Tor the reason
that imperative circumstances prevent me from
canvassing the county. Being conscientious IN
my belief that the platform upon which Stephen
A. Douglas was nominated, embodies the true
sentiment and principles of Democracy, and that
wing of the party having chosen F. Walter, Esq,
as their candidate for the Assembly, recommend
all Democrats to vote for that gentleman. Re
turning my grateful thanks to all those who
intended supporting me at the approaching cleo

BULKHEAD WANTED--It occurs to us that some
one of the parties in this county, in order to
make their Assembly candidate popular berea-
bouts should have instructed him TO vote for
Iulkhead. Any one who has passed along Main
street. from the Brewery TO Frenchtown, within
the past three days, must have been impressed
with the absolute necessity of wall on the
Church side, TO prevent inundation of the high
way. A Shasta gentleman remarked the other
day that The road between those points was a
disgrace to our thriving and in other respects
seemingly neat-kept town. The Shastan is not
the first stranger who has delivered such opinion.
The depth of water and mud, at present, renders
il both nconveneut and dangerous for vehicles
of any kind to pass We think the Supervisors
should take the matter in hand, and authorize
the road overseer to prosecute any person who
for the sake OF improving private property,
backs the water to such extent as to overflow
and destroy the road. Until it is done there will
never be a rood road.

GATHERING LEAD-A citizen of Bear river, in

ty are busy gathering lead for their murderous
purposes. At the old camping grounds in the
Redwoods and elsewhere, where packers and 9th
crs have amused themselves for years in firing at
some old knot or particular spot on the neghbOr-
ing trees, the Indians have, by means of scaiTolds
or other contrivance, cut out all the old bullets
and be believes that in some instances from two
to four pounds has been obtained from single
tree. At present he says there is no security for
citizens or stock from their attacks, except in the
more densely populated districts. Thousands Of
cattle have been driven from the Bald Hills and
other localities to Bear river, and pasture there
is completely exhausted.
