NICE LITTLE ARRAxGEMENr-A friend Has
asked us to explain how it is that those citizens
among us who have property in the seeded States
are anxious for the border States to secede aao
The answer is plain. The taxes will be very high
in the seeded States They will be so high that
they will absorb a considerable portion Of the
profits of the property referred to. Two millena sf
white people will have not only to pay their town,
district county, and State taxes, but also shout
thirty millions Of dollars per annum to the Con-
ftderate States" The taxes in the seeded States
WILL therefore, be oppressive. Our resident citizens
who own property in those States want US to join
them and help them pay these taxes This would
be nice little arrangement for them, but it would
be very injurious to the great body Of our people.
For one we decline to accommodate these "Con.
federate State" patriots. If their treasure is
in the Confederate States their "hearts" are there
also. It would be much better for them to sell out
their property in those States than it would be for
the people of the border States to secede simply for
the purpose of aiding them in paying high taxes.

FAITHFUL SERvANT.-The following is re.
lated in a brief biography of Col Pickens,
the recently elected Governor of South Caro-
Ina. and late Minister to Russia:
When Col Pickens received his appoint
ment to st. Petersburg, he called to him his
servant man Tom, an old negro about sixty
five years of age, who stands in the relation
10 him of a eonfidant and friend, more than
that Of slave, and said to him:
"Now, Tom, l have been appointed as Mn.
lister to Russia. 1t is very cold, a very bad
climate for you. On my way there, I'll have
to pass through the State of New York, and
also through England, where you'll be free
man; and if you desire to leave me, you will
have an opportunity to do so. If you would
rather go to Russia, Tom, you can go; but it
appears to me you would enjoy yourself bet
ter if you stay at home. But you can do as
you please"
"Master Colonel Piekens," said the faithful
old fellow Master Colonel Pickens, your
father and my old master died in my arms.
on the banks Of the Mississippi | took from
his pocket thirteen hundred dollars in money
and his gold watch, and let nobody know
it, and came on foot through the woods and
brought it safely to you in Carolina, you
know master; and If you die in Russia, you
shall die in my arms, like your father"
SO Tom went to Petersburg, and he was
the head man at the door on all state occa-
aions and acquitted himself with all the dig
nifty due to his position. When Col. Pickens
was about leaving St Petersburg he said to
bis old servant: tom, am going through
Germany. and want to send courier with
very important dispatches to our minister
Mr.. Dallas, in London. Now, Tom, | shall
make you my courier; you shall go with my
Dispatches to Mr.. Dallas"
Tom accepted the mission, and we do him
but justice when we cay that he discharged
mis- duty with promptness, correctness and
fidelity to his master.

MINING AT KERN RIVERA correspondent
of the Visalia Sun writes thus from Keys
Vile:
There are three bitches under construction
at the present time, which, when completed
will afford employment to a number of men,
and put in circulation considerable amount
of the "needful," which never would have
been developed except by an artificial supply
of water. There is not in California such an
extensive district of placer mines, surface,
hill and flat diggings lying idle for the want
of water as there is in the neighborhood of
White River, Posey Flat and Deer Creek. A
ditch, constructed at any reasonable cost,
from the north fork of Kern River, with a
branch to the mines in the neighborhood of
Keysville,) would develop the resources of a
mining district at present almost unknown,
and even when known, secuted as the Kern
River Humbug."
