the tendencies of the issues as made up in
the present canvass. We are gravely told
by the friends of Col, Polk, in Middle aud
West Tennessee, that his election is abso-
lutely necessary to the pacifcatiou Of East
Tennessee, and that his defeat will be fol-
lowed, in that section, by open and armed
resistance to the authority Of the State

Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois have
an aggregate population of seven
millions. No doubt, in the event of
dissolution, we of Kentucky, with
our population of eight hundred
thousand, could fight them success
fully, but we would little rather
not be under the necessity of doing
it. There are much easier things
for even kentuckians than to whip
nine times their own number of
American citizens.-LouisriNe Jour
nal 18th inst.
In the above paragraph the Jour
nal shows its Northern proclivities
by greatly cxaggerating Northern
strength and power, and its hostility
to the South, by undertaking that of
the Southern States.
The aggregate black and white
population of Ohio, Ird ana, and
Illinois is not seven millions, but
only five millions three hundred

ulatiOn Of Kentucky is not eight

proves the truth of the charges of disunion
made against the Breckinridge party during
the last campaign, and as assuredly will the
future prove the truthfulness of the charges
of disloyalty now made against them. Their
nominee for Governor, j ohm R. Mcconnell,
endorses every word and line of the platform
adopted at the llth of June Convention, which
bears the impress of disloyally, and breathes
forth treason in every sentence. Mr.. McCon-
nell claims to be Union man. claims that the
destiny Of California is with the Union, and
in almost the same breath hurs anathemas loud

cries for peace. He does not, and we predict

would respond to any call which might be
made upon him by the President of the United

The armed neutrality dodge is too plainly

of the Convention TO be cast aside now, and
they must, one and all, stand or fall by their

WHERE DID Ex-senator THORNTON Coz
A correspondent of the Sacramento Union,
writing from San Francisco, Jnly 22d, says
l noticed the article in the Union few
days ago relative to the probabilities of the
st. Louis being taken by certain Secessionists
who took passage on her. and l was reminded
that | had not seen in your paper any notice
that the late secession Senator, Thornton, of
Sierra county, had seeded from California by
that steamer, under somewhat suspicious cir
cumstances. | am informed upon what deem
good authority that Thornton was in the city
a short time before the departure of the steam
er, and that be told gentleman from Sierra,
for whom he had lawsuit in progress, that
he was going 10 Washoe to be absent several
months, and therefore, he must employ other
counsel. Instead of going to Washoe he
seemed to avoid recognizing citizens of Sierra
who knew him well, and was seen going very
quietly on board the steamer, and was not
seen to come off, and doubtless departed with
that secession crowd.

The EsMERALDA MINEs.-A Correspondent
of the Sacramento Union, writing from Auro-
ra, under date of July 18th, speaks very highly
of mining prospects in that locality. He says:
There have been several newt discoveries
this Summer outside of Esmeral9la District,
but nothing to compare in richness with Es-
meralda. Men who go to these new discover
les return and say Esmeralda is good enough
for them. One of the richest lodges Il have
visited IN Esmeralda is the Garibaldi Quartz
Ledge On this ledge the company are get
ting out five hundred ton of rock to be reddy
for crushing in the first mill that has good
silver saving process. They have now seventy
five tons out, and | think every ton will pay
richly. Large powders of this quartz are rich
in silver and gold NJ. D. Goodman, of Sacra-
mcnto county is the foreman of this company,
and il prosecuting the work well. He had
rock they got out yesterday at the 6epthh oi
twelve feet the richest in gold and silver |
have ever seen. The gold is completely diffu-
sed all through the silver and rock. The ledge
is from eight TO ten feet thick.
There are other lodges that prospect very
well, aud may be as rich when thoroughly
prospectcd. The miners are waiting now for
mills before they commence getting out ore
Most of the good ledges are well secured, and
are down to the paying rock. There have
been so many false reports IN regard to mills
being on the road here that they want to see
them on the ground then before the mills are
ready for crushing, each company can have
plenty of rock out. They do not want to take
rich rock out and have it lay and be wasted
for the sake OF getting deeper on the ledge for
they are aware the rock they are already to
will pay them a handsome sum for crushing.
Among the other lodges that are thought to
be rich is the Congress Quartz Ledge"
This ledge is the hornblende silver ore. There
is but little gold in it, but it is rich in silver.
This is eight feet thick and stands perpendicu-
lar at depth of forty feet below the surface
of the ground. The shaft is now 6fty-one feet
deep. Another fine quartz ledge is the g Eu-
reka ledge, close to one of the mills. This
ledge is the extension of the " Wide West"
quartz ledge. The tunnel is nearly into the
ledge, and are finding small strata of quartz in
the tunnel that are rich in gold and some
silver.

Think fixed the time weak before that of the

Sacramento, if they desire at the close of our
exhibition. 1t is conceded that the counties
north of Sacramento have far the finest stock
in the State, and we hope that the stock rails
ers will, as heretofore, make it point to
exhibit their animals, and thereby create a
generous rivalry and encourage the breeding of
fine stock for which our State is becoming so
