DIRECT FROM hENTUCKY.-We have had
the pleasure and benefit within the past few
days, says the Beacon of the 18th inst, of a
long conversation with Mr. John Talbot. a
relative of the family of Mr.. J. A. Pierce,
of this place. Mr.. T. arrived on the last
steamer directly from Kentucky. He repre-
sents to US that the Union sentiment in that
State, preponderates greatly over the seces-
sion element, and that the latter is growing
weaker and weaker every day. He saws no
fears need be entertained of the LOYALTY of
Kentucky, as she will come out in fving col
ors, and will drive every rebel invader out
OF her borders. A short time before he left
that country, business took him over into
tennessee. He represents whole communi.
ties, and sometimes whole counties. in that
State, as still in favor of the Union. but a
majority OF them have been overawed and
!ntlmldated by the rebel soldiers sent among

TIE HUMBOLDT MINEs.-The miners hay.
ing completed their houses, says the Silver
Age, are now turning their attention more
generally to opening their claims. many of
which promise well, No mills have as vet
arrived in the country, nor are there any on
the way in, rumors to the contrary. Moth
ing definite is yet known as to the result of
the rock sent to San Francisco to be crushed.
The Cuba ledge, into which they have now
got about two hundred and fifty feet, is turn
ing out rich in gold. In the Prince Royal
district twelve leads are now being opened
in thorough manner. Two new districts
have lately been laid out north of the Hum

districts fifteen miles, is called the Castle ::
the other about twenty five miles northwest.

is being done and fair prospects obtained-
On the whole the future of these mines is
promising. and the confidence of the miners

The Shasta courier., 1861-12-21

PARTrIsM REBUKED.-The following, from
the Springfield Republican, the leading Re-
publican paper in New England, may with
out slight alterations apply with propriety to
this latitude
1t is strange that people cannot lea, n
when their room is better than their COM
pany. 1t is strange that people cannot learn
when party organization has outlived its
organizations. 1t was just so with the
Know Nothing organization. .he men who
rode into office on the American issue fondly
thought they conld eternize their party, and
keep their grasp upon the offices. A portion
of the Democrats are laboring under the
same miserable deiusion that their party is
not dead. What we wish to assert is that
the Republican and Democratic parties are
practically dead-that not single issue is
up to-day that involves distinctive princi
pie of either of these parties. Both parties
are patriotic in the main. They agree on
the proposition that the Union must be sus-
tanned by force of arms +; and as the only
question at issue is whether the Union shall
be preserved or not. there is a call for no di-
vision among the people except that which
places all patriots In one party, and all trail
tors in another
TO our readers among the voters of Massa-
chusetts we have simply this to say-that
the Republican party has, to all appearance,
fulfilled its mission. 1t has decided at the
ballot box, so far as the ballot box can de-
eide it, what the policy of this country is, re-
lating tie slavery. The South-or large
portion of it-has apI ealed from the deeis.
ion af the ballot box to the arbitrament OF
the sword. The field of operation has been
changed. Now we are to decide by war
whether this Government is to be sustained
or oyerthrown-whether Democracy rules
this country or oligarchy-whether we nay, nave
a country and nationality or not. "ith
these facts in view. we do not hesitate to say
that man who can pretend to beliel Una. maj
the Republican and Democratic parties are
not practically dead, must belong some
where along the range that runs between 1f !,
knave and fool. Why can we Whp h0' Iat anl ao the
,,ef,-,le 1va;t 10 show their common sense IN

gospel recently called to see; him, to entreat
him to desist from his mad policy of coer-
cion, when the indignant Abe cursed them
away. swearing that the Southerners should
wade knee deep in blood before entering
Washington city"
The Richmond Examiner, speaking of the
Federal troops, says:
Take them all in all, their forces are as
precious set of rascals as could be scraped
together with e-teoth comb from the pot
houses and hell houses of the North. They
have been fertilized by filth, and grown up
crisp, fresh and unmitigatedly wretched
from the mire of municipal corruption
The New Orleans Picayune renna.s1s
"All the Massachusetts, troops now in
Washington are negroes, with the exception
of two or three drummer boys. Gen. But
Ter, in command, is a native of Liberia.
Our readers may recollect old Ben, the bar
Der, who kept shop in Poydras street, and
emigrated to Liberia with small compe-
tence. Gen. Butler is his son.
"We can take it," says the Richmond
Enquirer, speaking of the National Capital
''Our people can take it-they will take it
and Scott, the arch traitor, and Lincoln,
the Beast, combined, cannot prevent it,
The just indignation of an outraged and
deeply injured people will teach the Illinois
Abe to repeat his race, and retrace his jour,
ney across the borders of the free negro
States still more rapidly than he came and
Scott, the traitor, will be given an opportu-
nifty to try the difference between " Scots
Tactics" and the Shanghai drill for quick
movements. Great cleaning and purifca,
ton are needed and will be given to that fes
tering sink of iniquity. that wallow of Lin
coin and Scott-the desecrated city of Wash
ington-and many indeed will be the car
casses of dogs and caitiffs that will blaeker
the air upon the gallows before the grea
work is accomplished. So let it be.'
Davis, in one of his speeches, not grea
| while ago, remarked with characteristic en-
ergy, that
'He was down on the North and all Yankees
Had he the power he would put every d-C
Yankee in the middle of h-lI and rol

very elevated feelings of enthusiasm. Th
principles of the Declaration of lndepend
ence, that all men are born free and equal
have an inalienable right to liberty, are no
responded to by the men who fight for til,
institution of domestic slavery and, in fall
ing almost Immediately under the dominion
of the North, they scarcely realize that they
achieved much to rejoice at in emancipation
from Great Britain"
The Shasta courier., 1861-12-21
Russell on the Union and Republicanism.

Mr.. Russell, the correspondent of the Lon
don Times, in a letter dated October 7th,
says:
The idea of the Union is, in plain English,
the idea of one sole dominant power in the
whole continent of North America. And if
| were native of the United States of North
America, l would fight for that idea. The
contrary notion may spread rapidly if the
South succeeds. Already we hear a Gulf
Republic and Texan Confederation spoken
of; long ago there was a talk of a party in
California anxious for a separate national
existence of that State, which will probably
increase if it is found tsat the United States
can give 1t no more Of the national property
in roads, expresses, and postal expenses
And now there are hints that in the fullness
of time the States in the West and North
west may think it expedient to form Re
public of their own. inasmuch as they have
no particular interests in common with the
other States, and derive no special adyanta-
ges from being governed at Washington
There is no fear of the failure of republican
institutions, except in their demonstrated
power as an agency by which to govern and
keep together one vast confederation No
matter how many separate States may be
formed, there can be no doubt that in all the
form of government would be republican in
a greater or less degree. Without including
many people in South Carolina, and fewer in
other States, who express a liking and pre-
ference for constitutional government. or. at
all events. for strong government. the prin-
ciple of republcanism is grated deeply in
the hearts of the American people, and they
could not be otherwise than republicans II
they desired it. Sure said an Irish over
seer on the railway the other day, God
help them they've got no jintlemen in this
country at all at ALL" The social system is
like their street railways, very accommodat.

CHANGING SEED.-The practice of fire..
quently changing seed is now recognized in
many sections as essentially necessary to the
production of first rate crop. We all know
that the practice of procuring seed potatoes
from distance-say 20 or 25 miles-and
from different kind of soil has most
marked influence on the product. While the
rationale of this is not quite obvious, the fact
is undisputable. The same result follows
also IN the management Of corn, wheat pump
kins. beans and garden seed. Even where
exchanges are made between farmers in the
same neghborhood, and where there is no
very marked difference in the geological or
mineral characteristics of the soil in the re-
speetive localities, the practice is inductive
10 improvement. Let those who have never
tried the experiment do so-on small scale
at first, if they are at all skeptical. and mark
the results. both as regards quantity and
quality of crop.
