To sustain such men (says the Albany Erening

Georgia, Mr. Gilmer, of North Carolina, Governor
Hicks and Mr.. Davis, of Maryland, we would go Just
as far in Cancellation and concession the Consti-
tuition permits. To save this Union and avert the
horrors of civil war, we implore members of Con-
gress TO meet the reasonable propositions of the
Union men of the South. We know how little OF
consideration previous suggestions have attract

friends in Congress listen to journals whose columns
abound in appeals 10 Backbone" "Puck,n &C.
&c, &c. These things are very well in their place
but very mischievous out of place. In discussing
a question on which the Union hangs, and upon
which the welfare of thirty millions of people de-
ponds, we will not dismiss the hope that there are
Union men in Congress from the North, who can
meet Union men from the South with fraternal
feelings, and in the discharge of common duty,
agree upon terms of adjustment which will hold
border slave States from disunioE.
The cheapest and the thinnest kind of patriotism

faithful; and while, too, we viii 60 to the death

Bright be thy life, dear Willie,
As on thy joyous way you roam;
May friendo be round thee, Willie,
And thine glad and happy home.
We soon II part, OIL Willie dear;
How soon to meet on earth again,
Is yet unknown, but in each heart
Hope says wen link the parting chain.
Sorrow may be enes, Willie,
Tho now we hope each opening day
Will evermore be bright, Willie,
Tho we are parted far away.
Would that could wish thee, Willie,
happy life without care;
But the path that leads above
Is ever filrd with sorrows here.
But yet wish, OH Willie DEAR
That thornless path be thine,
And may thy future light Willie,
Forever bright and cloudless shine.
When am far from thee, Willie,
Think often of thy absent friend,
And with her other pleasures
A pleasant thought of thee she will blend.

a PraisewOrIhy Movement.

a new idea has been bit upon by two old and
experienced Weavervle miners, Messrs. Williams
and Philbrck They propose to get up a company
for the purpose OF prospecting thoroughly the
mountain west Of town, known as the West Wca-
yer or Democrat Gulch ridge. In starting the
undertaking they require the assistance of busi-
ness men, aud in fact all citizens who feel an in
teresl in the development; of the mineral resourc-
es Of this basin. A company of twenty or thirty
men can carry out the object intended without a
great outlay Of money-say fifty cents day
each. The gentlemen mentioned above will pay
their quota Of the expense in actual labor, and
being old and practical miners should be encour-
aged in this commendable movement.
When the company is formed, and the requisite
amount subscribed, nothing remains but to decide
where and in what manner to commence work
The Democrat Gulch divide has yielded fabulous
quantities Of gold in past years, and there are
enough who believe that rich and extensive
quartz veins will yet be discovered there. Rich
gold bearing quartz groupings from the bill west
Of the creek have been found, as well as in West
Weaver Creek, and as the whole section has paid
richly as placer diggings, it is reasonable to be-
leve that quartz must exist in the neiglboring
range.
The labor Of two or three, or five men, if nee
essary, For few months, may result ii wondrous
developments. The discovery of a quartz ledge,
or even an old channel, which undoubtedly will
be found in time would give new life to our al
ready prosperous town The result OF such
discovery to the business and general prosperity
Of the place, need not be pointed out
We hope the business men Of Weaveryille will
take hold Of this matter in earnest. Aud while
the company is being formed to prospect in the
West Weaver ridge, it might be wen to form
Others for Ike purpose. Miners are idle now,
and in many instances are prospecting in and
about the basin But as general thing pros
pccting is not thoroughly done-the miner does
not carry bis researches far enough, Commonly
on account OF inability to do for want Of suti-
cicnt capital We believe thorough prospect
ing Of Masser lIill the East Weaver aud West
Weaver ranges, would develop profitable dig
gings, and perhaps quartz veins, which would
furnish employment for hundreds Of miners. One
thing is certain we stand in need of some such
development, aud we hope no time will be lost in
getting prospecting companies at work, that they
may do something before the rainy season com

DouGLAs CRY, Sept. 7th, 1861.

FRIEND GoRDoN The election is over, and
am defeated from the same cause that has beaten
many a good man bcfore-a lack of votes How
ever, am satisfied and well satisfied with the
vote that was cast for me. Don't you think l
ought to be q? You bet" | honestly acknowl-
edge that / astonished my friends as well as my
self, and here let me say that there is no man on
earth that should be prouder Of his friends than
myself ! knew my friends were warm, but had
few more of them than l thought There is
nothing like tender spot on my cabeza, and tho
defeated, intend if live, to satisfy this county
that a man can be from the South and be con
sistcnt Republican and strong f0r the Union.
Others may 1ounce intend to stand firm, and
where was found before the election is a safe
place to look for me again.
With heart full of gratitude hereby tender
my thanks to those who supported me with such
particularly my own home, Ohe vote of which is
almost equivalent to an election,) New River,
Point Bar, Calon Creek, Mnersville, Bates and
upper Hay Fork and other precincts As lIy-
ampom cast votes against me, respectfully
decline the appointment of Postmaster there,
believing it to be neither desirable, acceptable
with the dear people Of said place.
In the canvass | travelled over most of the
county, made the acquaintance Of many good
man aud one or two id fools saw a portion of
the county that | had never seen before, and
trayeed over some good roads for mountain
county, and some not quite 50 good as they might
be, aud enjoyed myself first rate.
Speaking Of roads, the ono flom Mincrsyillc,
or rather from Bates to Trinity Center, is fer the
length Of it the best natural road in the State.
A little bridging and clearing is all that is want
ing. From Bates to Rush Crock there is an oX-
cellent wagon road already completed, the work,
If ! mistake not, Of the cuterpriolug firm OF Bates
q Van Matre and Fogerty u Co., and why tde
good people Of WeaveyyiIe cannot see it viii be
to their advantage TO complete this road from
Rush Greek to town | certainly am unable to
see. The completion Of this road opens up wag-
on communication with Oregon and the north
part Of this State, and $500 or les will do this.
Trinity Center Bates and Niueysy!lc no doubt
will complete aud keep in repair their portion
in fact they have subscribed literally towards it
and still say they are willing to do more if Wea-
verville will only help Those interested in bu-
siness and who own real estate in Weaver basin
are the ones to make the move. viii you do it
What have you to say about it Mr.. Editor
Nj ght want to take buggy ride sometime your

thing, and III swear it. Respectfully,

September 4th, 1861.

THE San Juan Press wonders how Mcdonnell
would run in Kentucky The gentleman stated
some time ago that as went Kentucky so went
be. Now as secession doesn't thrive well in Ken
lucky, aud Mcconnell is opposed to the unholy
war being waged by the Liucouites, it is reason
able to suppose that the gentleman would not
run well there.
WY THEY WENT.-Our readers are already
aware that Lee and Kelly, once citizens Of Trim
ity, left some time since for Dixie Land. They
had been keeping buchershop at Callahan's
ranch, Sisklyou county, and not satisfied with
advocating secession doctriens concluded one day
to raise the Palmetto flag over their place OF bu-
siness. The reasonable rag created big disgust
among the good people Of the neghborhood,
which was manifested by Immediately Withdraw
ing their patronage. Only two customers pat
ronized them afterward, and they concluded to
quit.
