Cherokee Correspondence.

MARCH lIths 1861.
Mr.. EDITOR Notwithstanding the agitated
political condition of the country, last week Mr..
Schwartz, an enterprising merchant of this place,
erected in front of his store splendid ag-staf
eighty feet high, at the top of which proudly
floats the stars and stripes-doing honor to his
heart and head. The achievement, in its Union
aspects, purely reflects the sentiments of the
good people of Cherokee.
Mining operations open out this spring with
fair prospects. "Last Hope" shaft is steadily
progressing. The company are now down some
forty feet. The work is much retarded in con-
sequence of the great volume of water encoun-
tered but the enterprise bids fair to be successful
and if so, will open up vast amount of ground
on lead which is reported to be very rich.
Mr.. Smith, of "Smith's Exchange" has dis.
covered a quartz lead that is thought also to be
rich.
The "Cherokee Rancho" looks green and
fourishing with the coming crop. Mr.. David
Ackley has set out this spring some three thous-
and well-assorted fruit trees and quite number
of grape-yines, besides strawberry plants without
number. May success attend him.

FATAL AccIDENT.-We are called upon to
record the death OF another victim of by
draulic mining: Mr.. William Qnirk, an es-
teemed citizen of Red Dog, was killed by the
caving, of bank in his claim, at Sardine
Flat, near Red Dog. The accident occurred
on Tuesday, but was not discovered till yes

SKIES BRIGHTENING.-It was anticipated
by many, that the vigorous tone of President
Lincoln's inaugural message would excite
the South to some hasty act of imprudence
or violence, which would lead to bloodshed
and civil war but such has not peen the
case. On the contrary, the latest Atlantic
intelligence informs US that "things are quiet,
and. all parties seem disposed to await the
action Of the Government"
This indicates, in certain quarter, a
gleatt of returning reason. The seeding
States, thus far, have had not one act of op-
preston to complain of. They had nothing
even to apprehend in the future. The Pres
ident, it was well known, if he had been SO
disposed, could have done them no injury
without the aid of Congress, and that body
was politically opposed to him. They were
alarmed at less than shadow, and withdrew
from the Union for fear something might
happen. This is the principle on which Mrs.
Toodles made her auction purchases. The
door-plate bearing the name of Thompson,
was case in point. Old Tcodles protested
against the expenditure Of money in that
way as ia piece of id folly" Mrs. T., in
reply argued, that "some day they might
have daughter. That daughter might
grow up to womahhood and marry man
named Thompson; and If she did, it would
be so convenient to have it in the house p
The cotton States have affected to believe
Mr. Lincoln very monster oftyranny-a dia-
bolical Nero, who would fire their plantations
and fiddle amid the confagration a sangui-
nary Caligula, who would draw all their
heads together and sever them from their
bodies at single blow Thus, by taking
unnecessary alarm, prompted by desire to
appear courageous-a quality which no one
ever doubted them to possess-they simply
made themselves ridiculous, and are every
day becoming more and more convinced of
that fact.

lection of Game, the first section of

PRESIDENT LINCOLN'S INAUG-
TTRAlx.


Most of our readers have by this time
perused President Lincoln's Inaugural Ad-
dress. The Union, Appeal, Marysyille DEM
ocret, and other dailies that have a wide
circulation in this neighborhood, contained
it several days ago, which precludes the
necessity of our giving it publication.
The document is differently construed by
different persons, as their sectional leanihgs
may happen to suggest-one portion of com
munity regarding it as a manifesto Of war,
and the other declaring it'cohcliatory and
decidedly for peace. We can see nothing in
it which bears the Interpretation of threat.
The style is a little crude, but tife matter
directly to the point. Every one with
moderate degree of intelligence, may under
stand it. Fherights of slavery in the slave
States are not to beiinterfered with, but the
revenues must be collected and the public
property defended. Mr. Lincoln does not
even 90 SO far as to say that the laws of
Congress shall be strictly enforced in the
seeding States, but on the contrary viii not
attempt to make appointments to Office
there against their expressed wishes-choos-
ing rather that the public interest should in
some degree suffer than conflict of arms
be precipitated.
This is what the President substantially
says, and what, if it had been said and acted
upon by Mr. Buchanan, would have crushed
the secession movement out before it gained
sufficient headway to be formidable. We
cannot imagine how true man, feeling the
solemn responsibility of an official oath rest
ing upon him, and knowing the spirit in
which the people, the laws and the Constitu-
tion require the functions of his high Office
to be executed, could say less. If he is sus-
tained by Congress and the people, we have
every confidence, from his declarations, that
the power of the National Government, so
ignobly and basely used by his predecessor,
restoration and maintenance of that dignity
which it has lost. Indeed, it can hardly be
said that We have had Government for the
past three months. Every "puny whipster"
has placed its authority at defiance. Traitors
menaced the Chief Executive in the White
House, and bullied him on the floors of Con-
gress. The true American citizen felt
blush mantle his cheek when he centem-
plated such state of affairs. We have been
the laughing stock to nations abroad, the
weakest and most contemplate of which,
have made US the subject of their ribaldry
and jests. 1t is high time these things were
at an end. President Lincoln intimates the
same thing. He promises to be a deter
mined Chief Executive officer, and so long
as he is so-politics entirely aside-he 6e-
serves to be encouraged and sustained by
all parties. For one, we shall only demand
that he is right, and then that he shall ago
ahead let who will be the sufferers in the
conflict that ensues, if conflict it is to be.

CoIScIDENcE.-It is a singular historical
coincidence that the grandfather Of Major
Robt. Anderson Of the U. S. Army, now
commanding in Charleston, was an officer in
the American lines at the seige of Charleston,
in 1880, when it was captured by Cornwal,is,
their commander. Eighty-one years have
passed away, and the town which the grand
father fought to save is aow in arms against
the grandson.

VINEYARDs.-The vicinities of French Corral
and Sweetland are becoming somewhat noted
for,the number of grape vines constantly being
planted. More than twenty patches of arabic
land'may be observed along the roadsides, some
with the vines already set out, others in course
of preparation, for the cuttings, and others still
which have attained a. vigorous growth, and are
expected, in the proper season, to yield an
abundance of purple clusters. Mr.. O. Evans
has fourishing young vineyard, on Buckeye
Hill, and the French population about the Corral
are perhaps embarked in the next largest degree

Mr.. T. McGuIRE's CARD.-On the outside of
to-day's paper we publish the report of the Grand
Jury, and on the inside card over the signature
of Mr.. T. Mcclure, citizen of this place, relat-
ing to Hospital affairs. We understand it was
notorious last week in Nevada that personal
insult was offered Mr.. Mcclure by the physi-
clan of the Hospital, for no other reason than
that he dared discharge his sworn duty as grand
juror, and yet, although they have daily and a
tri-weekly paper at that place, both of which
have since been issued several times, we see in
neither of them any allusion to the affair. The
Jury, in its official character, publishes specific
charges against the physician of the Hospital,
and the papers alluded to are also silent on this
point.
Now, we know nothing about the indignity
offered to Mr.. Mcclure by the physician, further
than is set forth in his card-which, knowing the
author as we do to be gentleman of veracity, is
with us good authority-nor about the abuses
practsed in the Hospital, if there be any abuses
but whether there are not, we think it was the
plain duty of the papers alluded to, either to
eorroborate and substantiate the statement of the
Grand Jury, or vindicate the physician from the
charges preferred against him.
This is public matter, which interests every
taxpayer Of the county, and the people should
be informed of all the facts in the premises. If
grand jurors are to be oyerawed and intimidated,
we will hereafter be compelled to rely on bullies
and fighting men to discharge the duties of that
thankless and expensive vocation.

TfFE ROADS.

Our different Road Overseers, under the
late appointments by the Board of Super
visors are bestirring themselves in amend
ing and improving the public highways.
Judge Stdger, we observe, has gang of
men at work between this and Cherokee,
who are doing good service. Owing to his
long confinement on account of his severe
accident, several of the roads in bis district
have fallen into an unusual state of diiapida-
zion; but as he has heretofore enjoyed an
envable reputation for his zeal as an Over
seer, there is little doubt but in few weeks
he will entirely redeem all past neglect.
Mr.. N. Cadwalader, the new Oyerseer in
the Sweetland district, has some understand
ing with that prince sof road builders, Mr..
Thomas Freeman, hy which the former
makes the collections, and the latter super
intends the work. Both arc engaged in
active duty. Mr.. Freeman has already con-
structed splendid piece of new road, about
the eighth of a mile in length from the
DlECuSluc Idsiue up tuC HhI-oiuC III tue
direction of North San Juan, and done good
service, also, on the grade and top of the
ascent beyond, or in southwest direction.
The work shows for itself, and is an honor
to that gentleman's pre-eminent talents in
this lime of industry.
In the neighborhood ofFrench Corral, and
down the country from that point, another
most excellent road d-builder has band of
men at work. We allude to Mr. n. w. Clark,
who is associated with Mr.. David Woods in
bis toll bridge and turnpike road enterprise.
We had occasion frequently to speak of his
energy and accomplishments in this respect
during the times of the Frazer River excite
ment. He was one of the principal men in
opening up the celebrated Whatcom Trail
With four accomplished practical men like
these, who take a pride and a pleasure in
the pursuit, we may safely predict that the
close of their labors WIFI Gnd us possessed
of the very best public roads in the mount
aims. Nothing adds more to the substantial
prosperity of a country; besides, we hope to
succeed in convincing the Washoe mer-
chants and miners that this is the route
which their trade should naturally seek, as
superior to the Placervile, or any other
road yet opened up as an avenue for trans
portation to and from that country.

How is THAT ?-The late Pony news states
Mr.. Douglas joined Mr. Crittenden in tele-
graphing to the Virginia Convention, urging
that State not to secede, inasmuch as the
Presidents Inaugural was peaceful. The
former expressed determination to s'sustain
it, although he would not support the Ad-
ministration."
We can't exactly understand that differ
ence. 1t seems to be stwithout distinction"
If the President is right at the outstart, the
presumption is that he wishes to continue
SO; and if Mr.. Douglas can approve the SEN
timents of his Inaugural Message, he ought
to wait till there is some departure from its
spirit before declaring his determination to
act against the ensuing administration of
affairs.

trees and seeds belonging to the diverse vegeta-
BILE kingdom. We notice two fine residences and
capacious saloon also in process of construc-
ton. The diggings in that neighborhooa are

o. A merchant of education and experience,
who resides at Cherokee, with whom con-
versed few days ago, and who is strong Union
vaan, speaking of the effort on foot by the Cath
olic Church to secure division of the school
fand, suggested that it would be proper to ex-
clude the Bible entirely from our common
schools, and substitute, as textbook, the Ma
tional Constitution.
In these sentiments we heartily concur. Every
child should have some knowledge of the Gov
ernment under which he was born, and to which
his allegiance is due; of the Constitution and
laws of his native country; of the obligations
resting upon him patriot; that he may, in
after life, assume all these obligations, with a
full determination to discharge them as becomes
a true man and freeman.
The assertion may seem strange, but we feel
convinced of its truth, that such knowledge of
the Bible as is obtained during the hours and in
the manner of school instruction, is to destroy a
reverence for its sacred character, and reduce it
to the level of mere works of fiction.
THE BALL AT CHERoKEE.-The Ball given at
prietor, Mr.. James Campbell, on Monday even
ing, was agreeable episode in the history of that
pleasant little mining village. 1t was largely
attended, representatives of French Corral, Co
hmbia Hill, San Juan, Shady Greek, Oak Tree
Grove, Nevada, and nearly all the neighboring
country being present. The Alleghanytown
Brass Band having first visited San Juan, and
spent the day, proceeded to Cherokee in the
evening, and were soon after followed by the
San Juan Brass Band, as token of respect and
courtesy. Their music was an enlivening fea-
ture, not only as they performed on the road, but
at San Juan and Cherokee. At the latter place,
the Bands were greeted with frequent and hearty
cheers from the residents, who did every thing
to make their short sojourn agreeable. A splen-
did supper, ample in its viands and courses, was
served at the Ball, which was also graced by no
less than three brides and their gooms. The
dancers found the occasion one of supreme en-
joyment, which high compliment to our
friend Campbell, and proved that he knows a
thing or two belonging to good host, if he is a
bachelor.
