ST. JOSEPH, Sept. 6.--Advices from Cali
fornia to August 25th, and the Sandwich
Islands 10 the 9th, were received here this
morning.
The Pony Express arrived at San Fran
cisco on the 23d with St. Louis dates of
August 10th. The news from Kentucky
and North Carolina elections puts the
Bell Everett men in fine spirits, and they
are pushing their State organization ener-
getically.
There is little State news All the poll
ticians are preparing for the four State Con-
ventions to be held at Sacramento between
the End and 18th of September
correspondent of the Sacramento
Union writes from Virginia City that a party
of white men, who had been missing some
time, have recently been ascertained to have
been burned to death, near Pyramid Lake,
by the Indians. Their charred remains were
found chained to trees. The head aAd chest
of one of them was not burned, and by this
means the rest were identified as the party
who left California for the Washoe Mines in
May. Large numbers of emigrants continue
TO arrive at Carson and Honey Lake vallies,
consisting mostly of families

not strong enough to bear its own weight.
You were so ambitious to Overtop all other

working MEMS Daughters.

Soon after the flag presentation to tue
Wide Awakes, the Enquirer, in order to
create hard feelings between different classes
of citizens, and prejudice against the Re-
publicans, for the benefit of its party, said
that none of the young ladies who person
ated the States were the daughters of me-
chauics. We have made some inquiry,
young ladies were the daughters of farmers,
one of A saddler, one of a machinist, two
of timers, one of grocer, one of day Ia
borer (now deceased), and one of clerk
in store. The parents of the Others, We
doubt not, are hard working men, in some
useful occupation. There is hard head work
as we'll as hand work-hard indoor work
as well as outdoor work. If man fol-
lows a reputable, honest, and useful calling,
makes an honest living for himself and fam
lily, and performs with fathfulnes5 the du-
ties of his occupation, it matters but little
what particular kind of business he is en-
gagged in. Be he a day laborer, merchant,
a professional man, a mechanic, miner,
farmer, or anything else, so he performs to
the best of his ability his duty TO himself
his family, his patrons, and community, he
is worthy of respect.
All these kinds of occupations are useful
and essential in a civilized community, and
there is no grea'er honor in one than in the
other. We believe with Pope:
Honor and shame from no condition rise
Act well your part there all the honor lies
The attempt of the narro W minded, green
eyed Enquirer writer to array one portion
Of community in hostility against another is
deserving of the severest reprebension.-
The agrarian attempt to viIlify those who
by industry and economy have accumulat-
ed competency of this world goods, land to
pull them down, can not fail to bring up
on the head of the writer of such incendia-
ry language the contempt of community
poor as well as rich.
In closing this subject, we will mention
that the lady who took a prominent part in
the flag presentation-Mrs J. G. Jones-is
the daughter of a mechanic, and frst-rate
one, too, in his lifetime; one who was a
fair representative of the intelligent work.

C. REITz, Secretary.

Pm-The Enquirer boasts that there are
no " old men of the age of the 'Whig Plat
form in the ranks of the Union Guards.
The Wide Awakes, we are proud to say,
hare old men in their ranks-the grey head
ed Veterans of a hundred political battle
felds-men who fought under Harrison and
Clay and Profit and Hall and Tyler and
Fillmore, and other Wing generals. The
Enquirer slur on the Whig Platform don't
tally very well with its supplications for
Wing votes for its sinking cause.

a NEW RAcE on MRN.-Prof. NewberrY.

A NEW RACE OF MEN.-Prof Newberry,
in his paper, read before the American Sci
entifc Association at Newport, R. l., gave
/ a vivid description of the geological feat
ures of the great plateaux sweeping east
and west from the Rocky Mountains, illus
trated by colored drawings. His we'll
Drowned, ferce!y bearded face, gave evil
dence of the effects of the sun and winds
on the vast, treeless plains that skirt the
Colorado. He incidentally gave most in
teresting description of that strange people,
the Moqui, whose cities he saw in Mexico,
and but a small remnant of whom now ex-
ist. They belong to hitherto unknown
race. Prof. Newberry thinks they may he
the remains of the Aztecs, who ruled that
region on its discovery by the Spaniards.
From the characteristics, however, .of the
melancholy remnant who now exist, it
seems more probable that they are to be re-
ferred to the Toltecs, who were displaced by
the AZtecs.
Mr.. Newberry described them as race
apparently entirely distinct from any other
Indians or this continent. They are small
er, have distinct conformation of the skull
and face and are peaceful agriculturalists.
They weave cloth, work with implements of
stone, and build towns of stone aud mortar
on the mountain table lands which rise eight
hundred or one thousand feet above the low
land plateaux. They build walls around
their town, and their only means Of ingress
and egress is by ladders, which they draw
after them when they enter town. There
are seven of these small towns still inhabi-
ted by this fast fading race. But their ru-
ins extend over the whole valley of the San
JCan-apparent ruins of a race once num-
bering millions of men-and many of them

years old. "

auallncations for the sherlnaIty.

Sheriff Gavitt and his friends plume them
selves very much on his skill in thief CATCH
ing. He is good detective, and therefore
imagiues that he possesses all the qualiGca-
tious necessary to make good Sheriff. But
thief and nigger catching does not consti-
tute the whole of the qualifications neces-
sary for the office. Most of the business is
of a civil character, requiring good business
qualifications. Levying on property, tax
ing inventories, :he sale of goods levied on,
accounting for the money, the business OF
the courts, empanneliug Of juries, and all
that sort of business, requires that the
Sheriff should be at home attending to his
duties. aZLla
The principal portion of such business Mr..
G1vitt has always left to subordinates and
slighted it himself. He has been in the hab-
it Of running off after fugitives and being
gone for days and weeks at q time talking
politics on the street corners and wrangling
In bar-rooms by the hour, caucusing and plot
ting aud packing conventions and going OFF
to political headquarters for " instructions
to peddle out at home when he returned
and all this has done in utter disregard OF
the interests ana convenience of the people
of the county. He has made his own in
terests and those of his party the main con-
sideration, and the business which he was
elected to perform a sort of recreation, to be
attended to when there was no convention
to pack or election to carry by trickery.
The people are getting sick and tired of
this state of things. They want man as
Sheriff who will attend to his duties close
IL and see that their interests do not suffer
They do not want a Partizdn Sheriff whose
duty to his party is his " higher law, supe-
rior to his duty to the people whom he was
elected to serve.
In George Wolfin, the Independent can
didate for Sheriff, the people will find man
who will make no discrimination between
different men on account of their politics,
and who will treat all men impartially
He will attend to his appropriate duties, and
leave the people to bring out their own can-
didates and elect their own officers, without
official interference and dictation.

AURORA BoREALIs.-About half-past ten
o'clock last night most beautiful display
of celestial fireworks, in the shape of brill
ant aurora borealis, was observable in the
northern horizon. When first seen it pre-
sented the appearance of a broad arch Of
white light spanning the polar hem isphere
Soon after the whole northern quarter of
the sky became suffused with a soft red
glow, pierced by long rays of pale white
light shooting up and changing about with
inconceivable rapidity. The half moon was
shinging brightly in the eastern horizon,
yet so brilliant was the display that her
light was at times almost overpowered.-
The display lasted about an LoIr aud a
half, and then faded.
The night was perfectly clear and still,
but such displays indicate state of the at
mosphere favorable to change, and We
shall be likely to experience different
"spell of weather shortly.

ST. JOSEPH, Sept. 9. The Express from
Denver City arrived last night and brought
$4,000 in dust. Mining is not being hur-
ried as vigorously as it has for mouth or

in Clear Creek, few parties of from to 6
hands were taking out from 60 to 100
ounces per day. Three -fourths of the min
ers are not making over working wages
Many new leads are being discovered on

account, unless new aud more extensive
discoveries are made.
