Wants a Party.

Our contemporary on Second street seems to
be in great distress for the want Of a party.
King Richard cried in his extremity, "a
horsel A horsel my Kingdom for horse !!
But the burden of the Expresss agony is-
"a party A party our kingdom for a par
ty" But marry" horse did Richard get
and mary" party can be scared up by the
Express
In vain you look around for it. You say
to men whom you meet 1--WE want TO organ
ize a peace party" "Why, what is the use
of peace party" they reply, "when nobody
is. for war p That's Il stumper, you see.
If you find anybody who thinks there is
any sense in organizing peace party, he
says to you, "Why, I'm in favor of peace
party, but then don't think the proper men
to organize such party are those who were
the movers in the breaking up Of the Demo-
cratic National Convention at Charleston, and
upholders of the action of South Carolina in
recipilating the cotton States into Revolu-
ton These are not exactly the men TO lead
in measures which look to calm action and
justice aud peace Neither is il apparent
that those are the Union men, par excellence
who sympathizc with disunion movements.
Such are the difficulties in the way. And
furthermore, the answer is made, that the
leaders in the proposed organization are mel
who favor Pacific Republic, in case Of {
permanent division between the North anC
South The masses do not want Pacific
Republic. They are satisfied to remain un
der the flag of the Federal Union. Under the
broad shield of the Government at Washing
ton, they can shelter in security, but they
know not what might happen to them under
the nmsy shadow of some new and tastard
banner. The mines are now free and oper

quite a town-like appearance. The houses
are so plentfully planted, that the streets are
quite manifest, and new houses, neat Gotta
ges are going up. 1t is becoming n no small

IT, II. HELPER AT DAYToN-TwENTY- THREE
Tickets SoLD-PRNrERs' BILLS NOT PAID
The Dayton Empire, of the 10th, says:
For the last few months the author of the
"lmpending Crisis" has been endeavoring to
exc out n miserable existence by delivering
Abolition harangues, which he styled "Lec-
lures on the United States" Meeting with
poor, or IA her no success in his new ayoca-
ton in the East, he endeavored to replenish
his empty purse and disseminate his abolition
doctrines by swi"dling the people of the w est.
Among other points selected, was this city,
where he was announced to lecture yesterday
evening, for further particulars in regard to
which we refer our readers to our local col
umns.
Helper had some printing done at the En-
pire job Rooms which his agent managed to
have taken from the office by downrigM W-
ing, in the temporary absence of the foreman,
last evening" when the agent promised to
call and settle it in fifteen minutes. AS he
has not yet called and, we learn that mum.
Der of our citizens are yet waiting for the
expiration of the aforesaid fifteen minutes, We
give him the benefit of this notice, and ten
der it as our receipt in full for our claim a.
gainst Hinton Rowan Helper, whe entered
the political world as the calumniator and
villlier of his own people, puffed into noto
rety by prominent Republican leaders, and
now, as when he left his native State, swim
dies those who trust him.
=. S.-Just as we were going to press we
heard rumor that Helpers agent had been
arrested upon complaint of the gentleman
who rented the hall
The Empires local account of the affair is
as follows:
The Cincinnati Commercial of Yesterday
announced that the author Of the "Impend.
ing Crisis" Hinton R. Helper, would lecture
in Dayton last night The same train which
brought us the information also brought to
our city Mr. Helper and his agent. The for
mer, we are told, stopped with nm acquain-
tance and friend up town." the latter called
at this office, and ordered notice in the pa
per, and lot of circulars for general distri-
button, announcing lecture on the Omitted
States" at Huston Hall, last night The Hall
was lighted up, twenty three tickets were
sold, and after waiting n reasonable time for
more customers, the Agent slipped away"
and the gas was turned off The proprietor
of the Hall was, at a late hour last night, en-
deavoring to find the "Author of the Impen-
ding Crisis, who, it seemed, was endeavor.
ing to escape the consequences of his own
work. We were not an entirely disinterest-
ed observer Of the course of events, as the
agent had neglected to meet On impending
crisisS at our counter
1t would seem that II. r. II. was "played
out :" that he had overtaken the Crisis, and
had gone down hill with it. We have a
minute of this decade on our Daybook. and
will transcribe it to our Ledger as gratifying
evidence of the respectabilty of our city
Our entry would be complete if we had
record of the names of the Impending 23,"
who hold souvenirs of the Author" afore

The Coral Cave.

We mentioned, the other day, that DIR. ii.
W. Baxley, distinguished surgeon and ply
sician and literary gentleman of Maryland,
had visited Marysyille and was on his way
to Timbuctoo and Grass Valley. 1t seems
that he spent short time in those two places,
taking notes of what he Observed for publ
cation hereafter, and then paid n visit to the
Coral Cave. We are permitted 10y our friend,
Dr. Rcardan. to poruse private letter from
Dr. Baxley, in which he relates n short ac-
count Of his trip to the Cave, and sends Dr.
Reardan copy of an impromptu poem which
he wrote in the Register" that lies on the
desk of the pulpit ofthe Crystal Chapel OF
portion of the beautiful cave so denomina-
ted. The Doctor and his friends left Grass
Valley, for the express purpose of visiting the
Cave. He says-and we trust he will excuse
the liberty we take in quoting from a pri-
vate letter:
"By taking private conveyance at Grass
Valley, instead of the public stage, we were
enabled to visit the Cave and reach Folsom
in one day. 1t was quite n fatiguing ride it
is true; and cold also at It's commencement,
for we started from Grass Valley in a snow
storm. But the sight OF the Cave amply re-
paid us for both cold and fatigue | have
notes for full description of it hereafter
During my brief stay at the Cave l found
time to ascend to the pulpit of the Crystal
u,bi tol =.
the Register the following lines-the first
am told ever composed there. How strange
that one should have Travelled six thousand
miles TO have restrung long forgotten Tyre,
where for thousands Of years silence has
reigned, no stricken chord ever having
awakened the sleeping echoes of this sealed
solitudeN
The poem our readers will admit is beau
tiful one and worthy of the theme:
Cavern of the crystal halls
Cleaning round with mirrored walls,
Say who hung thy spanged roof
Weaving in its frosted woof
Nameless gems Of radiant hue
Strangely carved, and frescocd too
Who thy coral cornice made?
Who thy marble fount arrayed'
Whose sculptor hand did trace
Gems of forest, and of sea,
Leaf and shell ofwavy grace,
In thy ceilings imagery?
Who upheaved yon shadowy dome
Older than imperial Rome
Ger thy alabaster throne,
Wrapped in marble drapcry?
Silence muses-He alone
Robed in Light man may not see
Who the vault of Heaven hung
With dadem ofgod;
Aud around its glories flung,
Ere His night its stars unrolled
Look the finger of God,
On the rock thy foot hath trod
Traces there the Truth Divine
Mortal read Before His shrine
Bow thy kneel "7Ae acorh is Mine"

Two THUMBS AND TAL.-Wc were in at
Duflicy's provision and grocery store, corner
of L and Third streets, yesterday, willing
away few minutes and tasting Dufllcy's su-
perior wines and liquors, when Tombs and
Wood ward entered and commenced telling n
wonderful yarn about Chinaman they had
Just seen on Feather River, engaged in wash
ing. They said he had on one hand tive
thumbs, each perfect and joined on double
joint. Dudlcy didn't credit the narrative
and SO he swCrc the parties to the truth o.
the statement They took the oath as freely
ms they did the drink of liquor which washed
it down. STILL certain others being incredu-
lous, David Kertcham "put in" and said that
that was no wonderful thing at all, for he
knew Of half Jew, whose mother was a
Pennsylvania Dutchman, (Kertcham hadn't
been drinking) that was born with a tail! 1t
was a wigs tail, and about two inches long.
Kertcham was sworn to his narration, and
the reporter left How many more items
would have been furnished, had he remained
there is no telling. Prolific place for items
