PoLrucs IN S1sKIYoU CoUNry.-A cores
pondent of the Yreka Union writing from
"South Fork" under date of 23d, says:
ION the 10Th inst, political discussion
was to have taken place at Calahan's Ranch
between Mr.. & Toll, Douglas Democrat
and Mr.. Lee, Breckinridge Democrat; but
the latter failed to come to time; Mr.. Toll
however proceeded to address the audience
ior more than an hour, upon the doctrine of
non intervention and popular sovereignty.
proving clearly that they were purely Dem-
oerauc principles, which the Democracy of
me United States, in National Conventions
assembled, have repeatedly declared their in.
tention to support and defend. Mr.. Horne.
OF Weaverville, a Douglas Democrat, was
then introduced, who entertained the audi
enee with very eloquent and unanswerable
argument.
DR. Ream, of Deadwood, who was Chair
man, was then called. He spoke few mo
ments. showing up the inconsistency of the
Breckinridgers, and invited any person of the
opposite parties to come forward and defend
their position.
On the 18th, by appointment and in ac-
cordance with a general request, Mr.. Toll
met Mr. Lee at South Fork, to discuss the
political issues ofthe day; but the latter gen
tleman again declined to discuss Mr.. Toll
again delivered good Democratic speech,
much to the annoyance of the Breckinridgers
here. who have all along contended that they
would carry South Fork and vicinity; but
they have for some time been depending
they feel their weakness, and are idle
Nhen lack Montgomery, big g,m of the
Breckinridgers, passed here, some time since
on his way to Yreka, he Announced by hand
bills that on his return, he would address the
citizens of this vicinity. at Callahan's Ranch.
At the appointed time, Zack came; but was
very much mortified to find no audience
awaiting him, and he was compelled to 90
below without footing his horn" here.
The citizens here have erected a pole, and
uniurled the banner of Douglas and johnson
to the breeze. They are very sanguine of
success, and feel quite confident that South
Fork will give good majority for Douglas
and johnson and the Democracy"

The lNTERIoR.-We are told, says the S. T.
Nation by gentleman who has just return
ed from the interior. that the late Eastern
election news has futtered the Breckenridge
torcesa great deal some coming into the
Democratic ranks, and Others seeking an
affliation with the Republicans on legislative
tickets The Gwinites hope that in coun-
ties which they have no chance to carry they
may be able to aid, in an unseen manner, the
success of Black Republican members of the
Legislature Their object in doing this is to
insure triangular fight on the Senatorship,
which would, they think, prevent an cleo
ton. The Democrats, says our friend, stand
firm.

principle OF Non Intervention. For a few
weeks after the news of the Baltimore Con-

intend to support him. The Breckinridge
Club here has entirely gone out. 7Rey don't
pretend to hold meetings. We are informed
that such is the fate of their Club in Horni
los. There is now no enthusiasm in their
skeleton ranks. They know that they are
wrong, and at war with the great leading
principles of the party. Many of them who
profess to be for Breckinridge will vote for
Douglas, but having started out for Breck..

Execution of Ex-President Mora and
General Canas.

About year ago, Mora, President of Costa
Rica, was driven from that State, bv band
of conspirators. A few days since, it was
announced that he had returned, for the pur-
pose of placing himself again at the head of
the Government. Now, we have news that
he has been shot. On landirg at Punta Arenas
he was proclaimed President by the people
of that place He had ouy about 200 miser-
ably armed men, while the Government
forces numbered 800. Having fortified the
place, the adherents of Mora, under the com
mend ofGeneral Cahas, were enabled to hold
it for three days, killing in that time $50 of
the enemy On the 29th October, the place
taken and good number of the followers of
the Ex-President slaughtered.
The Punta Arenas correspondent of the
Panama Star and Herald gives the following
account of the death of Mora and General
Canas:
The town was taken on Saturday evening
On that day every effort was made to discov.
er the hiding places of Mora and his adhe-
rents, who had escaped the massacre, but
without avail On Sunday Caflas gave him
self up and begged Gen. Blanco to shoot him
and save Moras life, but his case was post
Poned, and it was afterwards determined to
Danish him.
AT a later hour in the day, about 4 o'clock
p. M both Mora and Col Aranceiba gave
themselves up, having suffered fearfuly dur
ing their concealment, poor Mora having
lain thirty six hours in pool of mire and
water under Farer's house.
The excitement was intense when il be-
came known that Mora had been taken. and
deep interest was evinced as to what would
be his fate; but they were not long kept in
suspense, for in half an hour council eompos-
ed OF Blanco, Montealegre, and or others,
condemned them both to be shot at 3 o'clock,
allowing only two short hours to prepare for
death. They were led out for execution, both
very haggared and wan from exposure, but
perfectly composed. Indeed, Mora's step
was as firm and his eyes as bright as they
ever had been. He, poor fellow, was shot in
Farer's clothes. Before being shot, they were
not allowed to say anything, but stood side
6y side, Mora asking the privilege of being
shot thus, and also begging that they would
ann at his heart. They fell side by side, and
on Mora evincing signs of life, an officer shot
hm through the head with his revolver.
Things soon quieted down, and we had
hoped the butchery was over; but it was an
nounced that Gen. Canas was to be shot at 9
o'clock, A. Nj, on the Cd, and the good old
General was walked out to execution. He
was was perfectly cool, and smoked his cigar un-
tll ne fell, pierced with dozen balls.
lhis was the last act in as bloody trage-
oy as Central America has ever known.
