FROM CALIFORNIA.

MAnysvILLE. CAL, Sept. 10th, 1861.
FRIEND MarTINaLy:--Once again / am
inclined to say. a few words to you by
mail. The Pony Express has undoubted-
ly brought you the news of our election
before this There is enough already
known to warrant the election of the entire
Republican State ticket by very large
plurality. if not a majority Of the whole
vote. This is great Union triumph for
the people of this State. inasmuch as the
Secessionists. or Breckinridge party, calcu-
lsted confidently on electing their ticket.
From the present figures it is close race
between the Mcdonnell and Conncss tick
cts, ana Stanford. the Republican candi-
date. has now a small majority of the
whole vote. In this county the Union
ticket is elected by decided majority over
both the Democratic tickets. For tie first
time the Republicans have charge of the
county affairs, and business of all kinds
begins to get better. Confidence too seems
stronger in the continuance of our govern
ment. which cannot fail to have a stimula-
ting effect upon business.
You will notice that the order for troops
on this State is being promptly filed. A
Cavalry company has been organized in
this city and has gone on to be mustered in
to service, and am informed that there is
more men already than can be accepted un-
der the present order. You can rest as
sured that California is as loyal to day as
any State in the Union. and whatever a.
mount of men and money may be required
will furnish her full share. notwithstand
ing there may be few men here who SYM
pathise with jeff. Davis IL Co. But. since
the election the peace party. as they term
themselves are very scarce; but now and
then one is to be found. The howl this
party set up before the election was aston
ishing. The country was flooded with Sc
cession documents. headed with all kinds
of startling assertions to arrest attention.
such as "Cost of the Abolition War"
Direct Taxation;" 1--WE are the only
Peace Party" &C.. &C.. all OF which. how
ever. deceived very few. L. j. S.

Things that will not be For
gotten.

Here is another article from that patri-
otic Democratic sheet. the New Albany
Ledger. to which it wonld be well for our
neighbor and those who entertain similar
views to give heed. NOT for our sake but
their own, if they don't want to be polti-
cally damned forever:
There are some persons who appear to
be under the impression that unless they
keep the fact constantly before their eyes.
the people will forget who are the authors
of our present troubles. and what were the
causes which brought them about. There
fore they consider it, or profess to consid-
er i, their duty to be constantly ding-dong-
ing this matt into the public ear. giving
them no time whatever to devote to the
present situation and necessities of the
country. Now. we cannot assent to the
wisdom. the patriotism. or the policy OF
this course Of procedure. We have no
fears whatever that the people of the Uni
ted States. now living. should they sur
vive the termination Of the present war o
half century or more, will ever forget any
material fact connected therewith-with
the causes which produced it. the great and
stirring incidents which mark its progress.
or the decisive events which shall lead to
its termination-.for we take it for granted
that it sciH have termination some time or
another. This year of grace. 1861. is des-
tined to become one of the most remarkable
inthe annals oi.time, and to suppose those
who are now living will forget. or fail to
discover. the causes which have produced
this rebellion. is to suppose them to be
possessed of most defective memories, or
Of very dull understandings. a
For our owe part, we repeat. we'have no
fears whatever on this score. Believing
the people capable of discriminating be-
tween truth and error-of exercising a
sound judgment when all the facts shall be
presented to .hem--we have every conf
ldence that they will give just verdict as
to the causes, the progress. and the termi-
nation ofthe war. That the guilty authors
Of our calamities. whether residiug at the
Moth or the South, will have just punish
ment meted Quito them we cannot doubt.
qrBut what is owr duty in this crisis! Do
not our friends who are so anxious about
the verdict Of the people as to the, authors
ot the war never reflect that the same peo-
pie who areTto pass on the acts of. these au-
thors of our troubles will also be called mp
on to render judgment as to the manner in
which they bavs conducted themselves du-
ting the progress Of this desolating calam-
ity. Of civil war? Is there not danger that
the crimes of those whose course Of con
duct has produced the war may be partially
hidden from view by the errors Of those
who withheld their aid from their govern
lnent and country when both were in peril?
The masses of the people. now living, may
know bat litt!e as TO what party or what
set of men were most responsible for the
war Of 1912, bbtthe vcriest tyro IN history
orpolities knows what party It was that.
after the country became involved in war.

Governors Proclamation.

Governor Morton's proclamation vii be
found on this page. ItaPPeals in stirring
notes to every patriot to prepare to repel
the enemy who is now threatening to in
vaie our own beloved State. Like faith
ful sentinel. as be is, the Governor warns
US of the coming danger. and bids US be
wise and warned in time. Will we stand
with folded arms and permit the rebels to
make this State the battle field? IF we
woul not there is not a moment to be
lost. Immediate measures should be a.
dopted for carrying ont the suggestions
Of the Governors proclamation. What is
the duty of the Ninth District in this ext
gcncy? We should fill mp Col. Fitch's
regiment and raise at least FIVE full compa-
nies besides for the one that is to rendez-
vous at Goshen. during the next ten days.
Marshall can and will furnish three Of the
companies. If the proper efforts are made.
Let it be done. After doing this much the
old men over fifty and the young men un-
der eighteen. should organize into compa-
nies for Home Guards. and hold themselves
in readiness to march down to the border
whenever called on. If the State cannot
furnish MS arms let MS arm ourselves with
shot guns and squirrel rifles. With brave
men behind them they will prove almost
as destructive to the enemy as muskets OF
Mimic rifles. in close fight. Who will
lead of in organizing!

EgThe Logansport Pharos is another

at times. when it suffers its allegiance to

is soon dispelled by the warm love of coun-

Here is an extract from its last. which in
dicates clearly that its heart is right If its
heac is sometimes wrong:
Hon. Norman Eddy. the last Democrat
ic member of Congress from the "Bloody

at Warsaw last week. and urged all loyal
citizens to support the government and aid
with all their might and power to crush
the rebellion. All honor to him! He

re- Had the Democrat been as patriotic
sheet as the New Albany Ledger or Lo-
gansport Phar0s. Marshall county would
now have five or six full companies in the
field, instead of parts of three, and then we
might have had something to brag about.
As it is there is not another county in the
State. we believe. that has not raised more
troops in proportion to its population, not
even excepting Fulton. For awhile we
thought we would excel Fulton, but latter
ly her star has risen above MARSHALL s.
Tell us not that the Democrat has not fur
nished the enemy the most essential aid

why is the Plymouth Weekly Democrat

The Voicelnss.


We count the broken Tyres that rest
Where the sweet wailing singers slumber,
But Ger their silent sisters breast
The wild flowers who will drop to number.
& few can touch the magic string,
And noisy fame is proud to win them:
Alas for those that never sing,
But die with all their music in them.
Nay, grieve not for the dead alone,
Whose song has told their sad story
Weep for the voiceless who have known
The cross without the crown of glory;
Nor where Leucadian breezes sweep
Der Sappho's memory. haunted billow,
But where the glistening night dews weep
Der nameless sorrows churchyard pillow.
O, hearts that break and give no sign,
Save whitening lips and fading tresses,
Till death pours out his cordial wine,
Slow dropped from misery's crushing presses
If singing breath or echoing chord
To every hidden pang were given,
What endless melodies we're poured,
As sad as earth, as sweet as heaven.
