Election of United states senator.

AT last VIC have a Senator elected, beyond
all dispute, in place of DIR. Gwin. On the I'd
inst, Gen. James A. McDougall, in Joint
Convention, received ffty-sev votes out of
one hundred and four, or four votes more than
necessary. We need not say that Gen. Nc
Dougall was not our first choice; and yet,
perhaps, no one of his fricnds-in view of the
factious and disgraceful fight made upon him
by the Breckinridge leaders of the two Houses
feels greater satisfaction at his success than
do we. His Democracy is above reproach.
Those who doubt it judge him by their own
boiling proclivities. He will stand shoulder

tling for the Union and against Republican

Tehama Correspondence.
TEHAMA, April 4th, ls6

TEHAMA, April 4th, 1861.
EDS. CouRIER-Since about ten days, we
were favored with continual spell of rain
so that great part of the country is over
flowed, and it seems that the rain will never
let up. Fears are now entertained by most
of our farmers, that if it don't stop shortly,
we will have too much of a good thing; every
body is wishing for fine weather again. The
river rose about twelve feet above low water
mark, and the ferry has been suspended. )
THE ACCIDENT.
perceive you mention the accident that
happened to the stage passengers the other
day while crossing the river in skiff at this
place. 1t was indeed . horrible scene to gaze
upon a number of human beings hanging to
the branches of tree, pp to their necks in
water and relief at the time impossible, ow
ing to the scarcity of boats. Mr.. John Simp-
son started with q skif for their rescue, but
met with the same fate. His boat split wide
open, and he found himself at the mercy of
the strong current, and sought safety himself
by clinging to tree. Another party then
started for their relief, but were taken down
some distance by the strong current. Had it
not been for Mr.. Mode, who risked his life to
save those of others, the probability is that
all of them would have been drowned, for no
sooner had they left the spot than the tree
was swept down by the current. Much credit
is due to Mr.. Mode, who proved himself to
be a hero in the noblest sense of the word.
NEW PAPER.
Messrs. Jeffries & Sanborn are to start a
new paper in Tehama. The former is highly
respected gentleman, and practices physic,
while the latter is the late editor of the Te-
hama and Colusa Adrocate, and at the pres
ent time practising law in this county. We
wish success to these gentlemen, and hope
that their paper may live many years to the
homer of its editors.

Reply to Hank.
Why, really wc'rc surprised to think,
What mischief we have done;
I'm sure, if reparation can
Atone for all opr fun,
Wen both ride down another day
And finish that begun.
And, Hank, don't think that you'll escape,
By cutting back door,
For you will find that girls keen wit
Can outwit yours twice Der
For one will storm the castle back,
And one come in before.
Perhaps twill stir your courage up
To visit you again,
For, honestly and true, think
i is perfect shame
That Shasta county bachelors
Should be SO very tame-(wildO
just think of we ':sWect ereatures,"
Without aid from .nan's strong arm,
With grace descending from our steeds,
Thinking surely if we charm
From out their den two old bachelors,
Twill work no serious harm.
But oh sad disappointment came,
We saw no living trace
Of silky beard or wake moustache
Gracing manly face.
1t chilled the pulse to see the gloom
That rested round the place.
But courage was our motto still,-
We'll brave them in their den.n
So quickly to the door We went,
And calmly looked straight in.
The sight we then and there behold
Deserves an ADLER pen
We will not speak of the unmade beds,
Nor the dishes unwashed yet,
Though twas four o'clock in the afternoon
And the sun was almost set
They begged to be excused. and said,
sour lady's out''-she Was--" you bet."
So with sadden'd hearts we turp'd away,
For they offered no assistance
And, climbing on our horses backs,
Soon left them in the distance,
But vow d we'd make them yet confess
70 yoman's charms there's no resistance.

No blockade of Southern Ports!
Surrender of the Southern Forts.

Washington, Feb. 26th.-The incOm-
ing Administration will not blockade
the ports of the Seeding States, nor
will it attempt to collect duties in South
ern ports.
1t will also voluntarily surrender the
forts and military posts still in posses
sion of the Federal Government, if they
are not attacked before it into
power, and the negotiations to that end
are completed.
In the meantime, | fear the border
States will accept any compromise Of
fercd them, if it be such to quiet their
people. .
THE above dispatch was addressed
to one of our most prominent CONNER
cial houses, by the head Of which it was
kindly furnished to us. 1t is from a
most authoritative source, and can be
relied upon.-EdS. Pn.l

The Border States Satisfied.

We were prone to believe from the first.
when the Peace Conference idea was sitting
that the Border Slave Sta es. 18th wonld par
to almost any adiyS6r and give them a res
tally coyg doubts and difficulties Of the pre-
!9fe. We were not therefore at all surprised
when the telegraph informed us that the plan
or adjustment Of Mr.. Guthrie Ito be seen in
another place in to.day's paper had been
adopted-nor would w if that Of any other
person or description had been accepted
Those States wanted an excuse for not acting
with us at present, aud they have it, such as
it is.
Il matters but little TO the Southern COME
deracy, however, what the Border Slave States
resolve upon. Its destiny is independent Of
their action. Knowing their interests are in
dissolubly connected with our future, the tri-
umph that is to euSue from their future soil
citations to join us, which is a mere question
Of time, is preferable to an unwilling conncc-
ton now. They vi not long be quiet and
contented in a Government where their opin-
ions aud interests will ever be in the minority.
Their present plan of adjustment decided up,
on between themselves and their free State
allies, or any other they might have agreed
upon, growing out of the present emergency,
will be of short; duration. The inevitable
growth and prosperity Of the Southern Rrpub
lie will soon set public sentiment in the Bor
der States in this direction-the secession
movement, when the time ripcns, Wi grow
as grows the northumberland first one aud
then another Of those States Will be knocking
at the door for admission into our Conftdoracy.
1t is only necessary that the people Of the
Border States should have time duly to reflect
The breaking up Of the old Government and
the formation of another out Of a port II OF
the material Of the first, was 50 sudden, 50
unexpected to the great minority Of the mas
ses Of those States, that it Vas not at all strange
that they shOull vote against seeding so
suddenly from a Government which they and
their sires bad lived under SO prosperously
and 50 happily--partieu!ariy when, if war
resulted, their own green plains would DC the
? first 10 be saturated with f~raternal blood.
Governments are not formed in a day. Let
| the Border States take their t M. We pre-
Diet they will be sick Of their compact before
the expiration Of Linco'n's administration,
! and long to connect themselves with the des-
ny of our Con.ederacy-for SOuthrara 'the
