DEMOCRATIC MEETING AT SoyoRA-5peak
ing of the Democratic meeting held at Sono-
ra, Monday evening, the Columbia Time.
(Independent) says:
Hon |. N. Quinn having been elected
Chairman, the first speaker introduced Ia
the meeting was l N. Brosnan, Esq, of San
Francisco, who delivered powerful and
influential speech, full of beautiful imagery
and classical illustrations, which kept the en-
tire crowd listening to his every word. 1t
is seldom that political speakers treat their
hearers to so much sound, good. sensible
speaking, with SO little abuse, as did Mr..
Brosnan. Hon. Humphrey Griffith, of Yolo,
next spoke on the object of the meeting
gave a succinct and plain statement of the
causes that led to the division of the Demo
cratic party, which he attributed to w. L,
Gancey and his ahettors. Mr.. Griffith is
the best speaker we have thus far heard in
this county, aud delivered speech on the
occasion, that must I've fruitful for good du-
ring the coming campaign.
Senator Ryan, of Humboldt, L. Quint, OF
Sonora, and G. W. Kendall of Shaw's Flat
also addressed the meeting. There must
have been six or seven hundred persons in
attendance, who exhibited considerable en-
thusiasm frequently cheering the speakers
always when they touched upon any subject
that referred to the endorsement of = A
Douglas and II. V. johnson as the nominees
Of the Democratic party.

his task, one Of the pieces plematurely ex-
plodod, and set fire TO his clothing. The
peril of his situation could not be seen by the
thousands spectators below, in consequence
of the continued emission Of sparks, and the
adventurous Blondin had nothing to do but
walk the rope and suffer the torture of being
slowly roasted. Having accomplished the
distance, he by his own efforts succeeded in
extinguishing the flames, but not before his

BENEDICT ARNOLD AND THE LAW OF LIBEL.
Everett, in the thirty number of his
Mount Vernon Letters says of Arnold: IL
cannot refrain from repeating another anec
dote Of him, recorded by Mr.. Sabine, which
throws dismal light upon the repute in
which it was held where 1t might be kindly
viewed. After the revolutionary war. he
established himself in some sort of business
in st. John, New Brunswick, which was
principally settled by American loyalists.
His workhouse and merchandise, being fully
insured, were destroyed by fire. and Arnold
was charged in newspaper with having him
self set fire to the buildng, in order to get
the Insurance. which was largely beyond the
value of the property. He prosecuted the
publisher of the paper for litel, laid the
damages at Thousands and received by the
verdict Of the jury two and sixpencel Such
was the estimate held by a St. John jury Of
his rroLity."

The DGoUTH IN TrxAs.-Some idea of the
intensity of the drouth which prevailed in
Texas at last accounts may lie gathered from
what san Antonio letter to the New Or
leans Delta says of it The writer represents
that vegetation is almost entirely DESTROYED
in some places, and the further west one
goes the more apparent the drouth the
prairies look as bleak an dreary as is posi-.
bic for them to be; blade of grass can't be
pulled up anywhere between San Antonio
and the coast with pair of tweezers, and in
many places the ground has cracked open So
much that it is dangerous riding across the
prairies. The cattle in many localities are
dying for want of water; all the little creeks
and water holes have dried up aud many of
the farmers and stock raisers are reduced to
despair by the drouth which has prevailed
for the past five years That gaunt wolf,
famine, is already at the door of many. A
San Antonio letter says, that water brought
from the Mississippi river is selling in India
