TROUBLE IN GETTING Ur.-The Victor was
the steamer which came up yesterday She
passed the junction of the Yuba and Feather
rivers at about 3 o'clock, and proceeded 300
yards when, from some cause or other she
fell back down the current into Feather river
She then started again and got nearly OPP
posite the lower plaza, when she fell back
again, and ran into the south bank of the
Yuba, and up among the trees. Thence she
backed down stream some distance and ran
among the trees on the other bank, where
she stuck for some time. She was backc ed
out after a while, with ropes, and several at.
tempts made to start her up stream again
She would make some progress and then fal
back. Finally she made the rifle. She wai
heavily loaded with passengers and larg,
amount of freight. A good many ladies were
on board, and their huttering excitement
was quite interesting. One of the male pas.
sengers being asked what was the cause Of
the trouble, replied that the crew of the boat
were trying to pull up sycamore tree by
the roots, but had to give it up They think
however, he added, that they will be able to
fetch il as they go down.

ONE Hour AT THE RACE Track " ester
day at very early hour we started for the
track, and upon arriving there found per-
feet rush of horses, men and boys. The men
shouted, the boys yawned, the horses paved,
Kicked and snorted aud said in horse talk,
saddle me quick and let me run" "Merrett
looked confident, Burton" studious, "Ashly'
ditffdent, shorty" knowing, and "Sam
Lower" talkative The spirited Boss of the
track was also around Every portion of the
Park is in good fix" and for the first time
in our life we heard the track could not be in
better fix. Race horse men usually are very
hard TO please as to the way track should
be, but this spring they are satisfied
Through the politeness of the Napoleon OF
the California turf we were shown the stables
and horses that had already arrived. The
following horses arc under the charge of Mr.
Merritt, and from the stable of Mr.. GTgsby
of Napa Valley: Dashaway, Sim Holden,
and a three year old brother to Billy Hood.
In Burton's stable we found Oregon "Aleck'
and three year old FLY In Rceses stable
the undaunted Buzora, Red Fox and two
year old 6lly, Sam Lowell. From San Jose
we found Charlotte Cushman and Grey Hall
In McDonalds stable we saw two beautiful
untried three years old, and in Joe Ashbys,
Kate Seward and Beeswing. We were
also informed that Col Gift would be
up with Ruby Williamson, and five we'll
known horses, and John James with Trouba-
dour. We would advise all our friends to
take morning trip to the track, as there is
much sport to be seen. The Spring has
clothed herself in her choicest array, and all
will be younger" who take early rides.
Next week will indeed be n grand gala week,
plenty Of races, grand procession and ball of
the Odd Fellows celebration and plenty of
accommodations for families everything be-
ing arranged TO accommodate the large con
course of people that will attend the Spring
Races

THE LEr-Us-ALoNE Policy THE MOST CO.
ERcIvE.-lf Lincoln follows up towards the
seeded States the let-alone policy indicated
by his evacuation of Fort Sumter, it will be
the worst sort of force bill against them.
just let them alone, and leave them to work
out the problem of separate and indcpen
dent Government, and before Christmas some
of them will he glad enough to return to the
fold of the Union Texas and Florida are not
able to support themselves, much less con-
tribute anything to the support and strength
of the new Confederncy. Mississippi has not
the credit for shilling in the markets of the
world, and the voice of the majority of the
voters of Louisiana was not heard when that
State seeded. The taxes of the new Con-
federacy are most burthensome, and the peo-
pie will ere long take the matter in hand put
down the leaders, and come back to the
| Union.
A Southern gentleman, who resides in Au-
gusta, Georgia, writes thus:
If the South was merely let alone for six
months, we would probably try at the next
general election to get back. The new tariff
bill will open both eyes and pockets three to
four cents per pound on cheese four to five
cents on butter, two to two and one half cents
on sugar, two and one half cents to twenty
five cents on tobacco, affect every one, and
that sensibly. Prices have advanced, and
are still ascending. Our regular army had
one hundred and forty enlisted in this city,
and as many in Savannah. Nine-tenths Of
our youth go constantly armed, and the com
mon use of deadly weapons is quite disre-
| garded. No control can be exercised over a
! lad after he is fourteen or fifteen. lie be-
comes Mr. So-and-So, and acknow edges no
master. While our free trade doubles our
tariff, our postal facilities will also be in
creased Letter postage will probably be
raised to ten or twenty-five cents, and off the
immediate line of the railways there will
probably be as much as one mail a week. OF
course, therefore, we will like secession the
better as we become better acquainted with
it.
We have no doubt that we shall find the
seccssionsts very indignant at the evacuation
of Fort sumter. They wish to get up fight
in order TO drag" the border States out OF
the Union. South Carolina will be especial
" savage at being severely left alone. - Ia

Tug PATRIOTISM OF THE ROMAN DAYs-A
writer for the St. Louis Republican relates,in
an impressive style, the following narration
1t is a part of the history of the great days
of Rome. Oh that such men now moved in
the grand arena of our public affairs:
Directly after the battle of Cann@ four
military tribunes were appointed, one OF
whom was Scipio. He wrs then very young
man. scarcely 81 years of age; but such was
the impression which he made upon bis col
leagues that they at once yielded to him and
| Appius Claudius the first rank in the tribune
shin. The four tribunes, with some of their
! friends, were consulting respecting the crltl-
cal condition of affairs, VIII n they were IN
terrupted by a young patrician, who came
breathless and despairng to tell them "that
all was lost-that their efforts in behalf OF
| Rome were all in vain-that at that very
moment there was a council holding OF the
nobility, headed by Lucius Cocilius Metelus,
to take measures for transferring themselves
with their arms and treasure on board ship
their design being to desert what they con
sidered the hopeless cause Of Rome, and TO
offer their swords to the service of some one
of the neighboring kings"
This stunning intelligence following close
upon such a series of bloody defeats, stupei d
the assembly, One of their number was of
opinion that a meeting Of the citizens should
be Immediately convened to take the matter
into consideration but he was Interrupted
! by Scipo who exclaimed cit is no time for
liberation-eourage and action are needed
now. Let all who love their country take
arms and follow me. The camp of Hannibal
is not more truly the home of the enemies of
| 81 than . bo bnusn IN, ,uI Ii,b fila
ardly and raitorous council is holding."-
Without loosng IA moment he FASTENED, al
most alone, to the house of Metellus, and
burst upon the conspirators with his naked
sword in his hand. "I4.ten to me" he said;
81 swear that | will neither myself desert
Rome, nor will permit any Roman citizen
TO desert herl Iii fail to keep this vow, |
call down upon my head every curse which
supreme Jove reserves for traitors and per-
iurers! This is the oath which take and
this is the oath which you, Metelus, and all
who hear me, shall take alsol Let him who
hestates to take it, defend his lileagainst the
sword which hold" "Terried and panic
stricken, no less THANH Hannibal himself had
stood amongst them, they all took the oath
which Scipio imposed, and surrendered
themselves as his prisoners"
What was the end of all this? Why Ham
nibal was defeated Carthage was destroyed,
and Rome became the mistress of the world
because it was leading principle of that
brave people that to despair of the Rcpu6
lie was the dendliest public crime. 1t seems
that treason like parricide, was, in the eyes
of these single hearted men, an unimnginable
wickedness. Alas the tone of public virtue
in Christian America is lower than it was in
heather Rome

KEEPING WoMENs' LETTERs-A New York
paper can never forgive Aaron Burr because
he boarded up and left to posterity letters eX
tracted by illicit amours with respectable
women" 1t is related that on one occasion a
poorly dressed mechanic called at an arsto-
cratic mansion and desired to see the lady of
the house, who appeared, and seeing his hum
bic attire, dismissed him contemptuously,-
He afterwards sent her a note saying that he
had called to put her in possession of a letter
from herselfto Aaron Burr, but from her i'll
usage, had concluded to keep at his discre-
ton The mechanic used to say, afterwards,
that every time the woman passed in her car
riage, she nearly broke her neck bowing to
him from the window.

FAMOUS OLD WARRFoRs.-Several old can
non have been recovered from the mud near
Ilutchinson's Island, on the Southern coast.
An old man informed the Republican that
'Ghe guns had been placed there by citizens
of Savannah during the war of 1912, TO pro-
tect the city from invasion by water. lie
was one of the party who took them over,
but it happened before Augusta, as it was
styled, was completed, peace was declared,
and their labors We're brought to n close
There was so much rejoicing over the event
among the garrison that the cannon were
forgotten, and they and the fort abandoned
to take their struggle with the arch-destroy-
er, Time. The guns have been resurrected
from their long sleep of near half a century
and our esteemed friend, thank God still
lives to tell the story which had escaped the
eye and pen of all the chroniclers Of the past

The News.

The news by the Pony is of no very spe-
cial importance. The appointments are OF
interest, in email way, 10 mere partisans,
but there is aothing to satisfy the great de-
sire of the country to know what the Presl-
dent is going to do. with regard to the hold
ing of Southern forts and the Collection OF
Federal revenue.
A delegation of Californians, it seems,
called on the President to protest agains'
Senator Bakers influence in appointm ents for
this coast And then appeared the pure and
immaculate Smonton, and read from man
uscript philippe, in which he charged nu-
merous vile things against the character oI
Baker. Lincoln took the paper and threw
it into the fire. This conduct. the dispatch
SAYS, was Jaeksonan. A friend suggests
! that that is better than the JackosSonian
course which he has seemed hitherto to pur
sue.
The dispatch says the news is warlike.
We cannot see anything very hugely warlike
in it, The only warlike indication on the
tivity going on at the Brooklyn Navy Yard
and the ymnor that the Government intendr
to hold Fort Pickens at all hazards. As lol
hostlities on the part Of the seeded States
they have been hostile all the time, and have
already committed all the warlike acts me-
ccssary to bring on conflict When the
Government undertakes to assert, by force OF
arms, her authority, or declares emphatcally
her determination SO to do in come specific
form then we may talk about the news be
ing warlke
A mysterious steamer, it seems, attempted
to enter Charleston harbor, and was fired OIL
by the secessionists. We suppose she might
have been Government vessel. The firing
upon ber is nothing extraordinary, since the
whole country knows that it has been the
determination all the time that no such YES
sci should sail into Charleston harbor. If the
Star of the West could not go in, it is no
wonder that a second one failed
The aspect of affairs is not at all changed
by the news received. We have facts which
amount to nothing in the scale of destiny,
and r,t0,ors of things which might be import
ant: but we know what rumors amount to.
The Virginia Convention voted down a
motion for immediate secession. So far very
good But the grand point to be known is
whether Lincoln is going to try coercion or
not Things have reached a juncture which
demands, at once, either peaceful separa-
ton from the Union Of such States as wish
to seecde, or war. And that is all that the
public now care very much about. Whether
some Abolition State has elected Republican
Congressman. or some fifth rate city has elect
ed a Democratic Mayor signifies but little.
