Unexpected Vitality.
l have doomed people and seen others
doom them over again, on the strength
of mere physical signs. They have
lived in the most contumacious and
scientifically unjustifable manner, as
long as they liked, and some of them
are living still l see two men in the
street very often, who were both as good
as dead, in the opinion of those who
saw them in their extremity. People
will insist on living, somtimes, though
manifestly moribund. The captain of
a ship was dying of scuryey, but the
crew mutiuied, and he gave up dying
for the time to take care Of them. An
old lady in Boston very near her end,
got little yexed about a proposed
change in her will, made up her mind
not to die just then, ordered coach,
was driven twenty miles to the house Of
a relative, and lived four years longer.
Simon Stone was shot in nine places
and as he lay for dead, the Indians
made two hacks with hatchet to cut
his head off. He got we'll, however,
and was lusty fellow in Cotton Math-
er's time Jabez Musgrove was shot
with a bullet which went through his
ear and out his eye en- the other side.
\ couple Of bullets went through his
body also Jabez got we'll, however,
and lived many ycars-Dr Holncs

about Him.
4 corresp spondent Of the Boston Jour
nal who has been travelling through
Pennsylvania, writes:
\ neighbor of Mr.. Buchanan was in
the cars He represents that the ex-
President has long been dangerously
sick from sheer exhaustion. He has lit
tie sympathy from his fellow -townsmen,
who upbraid him as being the author of
all our national troubles. He is obliged
to hear much that>must wound him, and
letters by the basketful are sent to him
full Of abuse and calumny, and so much
so that while he was sick his friends
would not allow him to see any letters,
unless they knew where they were from.
Miss Lane is represented as making her
self agreeable to all who call, and keep
ing open house to all who come to
Wheatlan;l, with that same grace that
made her so popular at the White House.

The mining lands of California belong to
the United States Government. Other Gov
ernments exact a large percentage of the
yield of their mines. This leaves the mines
unrestricted to the enterprise Of citizens. Is
1t not very aggravating, and naturally so, to a
Union man, to hear resident who is making
a thousand dollars month, say Z" Damn the
Government it is played out! " We know
of a case of this sort. Thank Heaven, there

The Meeting ON Saturday Last.

Pursuant TO published notice, the Union
Democracy of Oroville and vicinity assembled
at the Theatre corner, to hear some OF the
views of the candidates of the party upon the
issues of the day. The meeting was organized
by calling DIR. Vrooman to preside when Mr.
Printy. one of our candidates for Assembly
was introduced to the meeting, and addressed
them for about an hour upon the parties and
the issues as now presented to the voters OF
Butte He satisfied all that he thoroughly
understood the great issues of the day, and
that he was fully qualified to represent the
people of Butte in the Assembly, at the next
session of the Legislature.
After Mr.. Printy had closed, there were
loud and continued calls for Smith, who, at
length, came upon the stand, and was intro
duced to the meeting. He began by saying
that he voted and acted with the Breckinridge
party last year, but when he found from the
platform and proceedings of their State Con-
vention Of this year that the party had been
captured, soul and body, by the Secesslonlsts,
he had abandoned the organization as he would
pest house. Ee was not now identified with
any party, and came before them, not to advo-
cate any man or set of men but he came in
obedience to their call as a citizen and as
an American, to compare ideas upon the
troubles which now beset US He then pro-
ceeded to explain the reasons which induced
the foundation Of the present Constitution, and
the principles embodied in its provisions ; then
took up the heresy of Secession, and showed
how and when it was first advocated 1t that it
was but revolution and what was the object
of it, and what would be the effect of it; and
while he admitted the right of revolution, un-
der wrongs too great TO be borne, he annihi-
lated the doctrine of peaceable Secession, and
closed with a thrilling appeal to his fellow
citizens to sustain the Government in the en-
forcement of the laws and the preservation of
the Union. His address showed that lie had
studied his subject long and well, that he I'M
derstood it in all its bearings upon our present
troubles; aud the frequent, loud and continued
bursts of spontaneous applause which greeted
the speaker, proved TO him that the Union
pulse of the mass of men before him beat in
unison with his own.

THE BULL Run TIcKET-All who rejoice
over the battle of Bull Run, must vote for the
Bull Run county ticket, and thereby try to Sc
cure another such victory. After the cause
goes down in September, the California Dixie
ties will have to go into some quiet business.
No Secessionist can ever again make his
bread by holding Office. great or small in this
State. All of them who depend upon politics
for living, must take their stand in Dixie s
land. "a way away +"

The first part of the above is true, the latter

was struck in November, before the meeting

Further. the Compromise was defeated in tie
Senate by the refusal of Southern Senators to
vote when their names were called, although
they were in their seats at the time They
manifested their desire for its passage by visa
