The Shasta courier., 1861-05-04

IT is manifest that ex-Vice President, now
Senator, Breckenridge is gradually shaping
his couse so as to become one of the leaders
of the Disunion party. His speech on Tues
day was a sure premonitory symptom. There
is good sound hope, however, that he will
not be able to carry Kentucky with him,
and that, to be true to his record, he will be
compelled to leave his native State and to
join hands with the revelutionists of South
Carnlina Mississippi, and Alabama. Ken
lucky will be the last State to leave the Union.
Nothing could more firmly rivet her to our
political family than the extreme doctrines
avowcd by John c. Breckenridge Over
whelmingly defeated in November last, when
he appealed to his people, even while deny
ing that he was in the hands of the Disuion-
lists, he is destined to receive yet more
crushing rebuke, now that he has fulfilled
the prophecies of his opponents, and placed
himself under the flag of Disunion.'
The plan of the Southern conspirators
is being rapidly matured. Having succeed
cd in establishing what they fatter them
selves is permanent rival to the regular
Government of the United States. they are
now looking to the conquest of all our unor-
ganized Indian territory, on the ground that
most of the Indians are slave holders; and
are plotting to take possession of Nevada,
Arizona, and New Mexico, not to speak of
their designs on Central America and Mexi-
CO herself.-Cor. Forney's Press.

Parson Brownlow
l" The leaders in this movement to dissolve
this Union, the great citadel of our liberties,
and the depository of the hopes of the human
race, will go down to their graves without
any halo of glory surrounding their brows,
while on their heads will be gathered the his
sing curses of all generations, horrible as
the forked- -tonged snakes of Medusa. Their
ghosts will stand on the highest and blackest
eminence of infamy-the detestation of man

will each and all fill traitors grave, over
which there will be no requiem but groans of
the oppressed and the execsations of the good
The monuments will be of human bones,
upon foundations slippery with human blood.
However high may have been their elevation
in Office their fall will be like that of Lucifer
And whilst from their bad eminence they
shall turn from beholding the glories of that

rebelled in the year of Grace 1861, to survey

THE cultivation of lavender. in England,
is carried on upon go acres ofl land only, in
Surrey and Hartfordshire. Each acre pro-
duces $500 pounds of flowers. Every 100
pounds produces one pound of otto and thus
about 900 pounds of the essence are annual
ly manufactured. Six ounces of this will
make up a gallon of lavender water, and thus

Love of Office.
A sKrTcH FROM ANCIENT HISTORY.

Queer men must have lived in the days of
Governors Winslow and Bradford, if we COM
pare them with the men now upon the stage.
just think o moment of men SO averse to
holding. Office that compulsory laws had to be
made relating thereto The authentic record
informs us that in 1873 our Puritan Fathers
enacted law requiring that any person who
should be elected thereafter to the Office of
Governor. should pay fine of ticenty pounds
sterting y he acould not serre. Strange. in
deed, 1t seems. when we view the scrambling
after ofhce that characterizes the present age

date who is content to remain unchosen. By
. hook or crook" each eligible one is deter
mined to secure the Office. 1t would be
new thing under the sun to see our admins
tration at Washington imposing a fine on
those who refuse to share political promo
ton. Their perplexity now is, among
the army Of ofice-seekers that invest head
quarters, to see who shall be the fortu-
nate individuals. Neither is it trivial per-
plexity. We imagine that they are often at
their wits end" to know where to bestow
the bauble. A host of hands are up to catch
it, while only one can grasp and hold it.
Governor Winthrop says in his Journal
Mr. Edward W InSl0w was CHOSEN Governor
of Plymouth, Mr.. Bradford having been Gov
ernor for ten years, and now by importantly
haring got off," By import,mity-plea
entreating, beseeching, and praying not to be
reelected 1t becomes almost laughable to
think of political wire pullers importuning
their friends to pass them by and leave them
uncursed by office. We imagine that of the
hundred who besiege the dispensers of civil
honors, great portion of them have to be
importuned to 60 home and be content to live
in obscurity, for which they are singularly
fitted.
There has surely been a great change in
this regard since the days of the Puritans.-
Nor is it a change for the better. For this
insane strife for political distinction leads to
chicanery and fraud of the darkest dye. 1t
has introduced elements of fearful character
into our csuncil halls. To-day portentous
evil hangs over US in murky clouds, in con-
sequence of this. insatiate love of honor. Yet
not half the sins perpetrated for the sake of
Office ever come to the public eye. The un-
written history of this department is proba
bly, more strange and tragic than the writ
ten.

THE war-cry of the Apache Indians woke
the only family living at Gila Bend, New
Mexico, one night lately. An old American,
two sons, 1.-THE eldest now ffteen) and a ser
want. were all the force to repel five hundred
savages. The family aimed to die hard. but
the first shot fred by the eldest boy killed
the chief, and the rest instantly fled. The
heroic lad preserved the trappings of the
" brave as spoils of war.

THE WHITE CANoE.-In the days of old,
long before the deep solitudes of the West
were disturbed by white men. it was the
sdstom of the Indian warriors of the forest to
assemble at the Great Cataract and offer a
human sacrifice to the Spirit of the Falls
The Offering consisted of a white canoe full of
ripe fruits and blooming flowers, which was
padded over the terrible cliff by the fairest
girl of the tribe, who had just arrived at the
age of womanhood. 1t was counted an honor
to the tribe to whose lot it fell to make the
costly sacrifice and even the doomed maiden
deemed ii high compliment to be selected to
guide the white canoe over the Falls.
The only daughter of a chief of the Seneca
Indians was once chosen as a sacrifcial Of
fering to the Spirit of Niagara. Her mother
had been slain by hostile tribe. Her ia
ther was the bravest among his warriors, and
when the lot fell on his fair child, no symp-
tom of feeling crossed his countenance At
length the day arrived it faded into night as
the savage festivities and rejoicing proceed
ed then the moon arose and silvered the
cloud of mist that rose above the turmoil of
Niagara; and now tho white canoe, laden
with its precious freight, glided from the
bank and swept out into the dread rapid from
which escape was hopeless. The young girl
calmly steered her tiny bark towards the
centre of the stream, while frantic yells and
shouts arose from the shores Suddenly an
other white canoe shot forth upon the stream,
and, under the powerful influence of the Sen
eca chief, flew like an arrow to destruction
1t overlook the first; the eyes of father and
child met in one last lingering gaze of love,
and then they plunged together over the
laundering cataract!

THE CALIFORNIA MINER.-A writer in the
Dutch Flat Enquirer thus describes the Cali
fornia miner:
g The miner is like an actor, appearing in
different characters You now see him in
his claim clad in grey shirt, canvass pants,
and long gum boots so completely besmear-
ed with mud and clay that it is difficult for
one to make his eyes believe that that gen
tleman dressed so tastily and looking so
cleanly is the same man. You now see him
in his lowly log cabin, mixing his bread,
boiling his F" taters," frying his meat, max
ing his coffee, and eating his lonely meal at
a table whose surface has never been adorn-
ed with dinner CLOTH and anon you see
him in the ladies' parlor, acting and dis
coursing in manner which would contra
dict all that your eyes before looked upon
Go ramble through the deep ravines, lonely
canons, and rapid rivers, and in them all you
will find muddy miners, whose manly forms
were found in other days digging into mines
of knowledge which could only be found in
Yale, Oxford, and other institutions whose
names occupy no mean place in the vocabu-
larry of literary schools. He who calls the
miner an ignoramus, we suspect either to be
a fool or a knave

Hotel for the Dead.

In the city of Frankfort, of all German
cities the most intensely active, is Hotel for
the Dead. Outside, the population is bust
ling to and fro with an intensity in singular
contrast with the usual German ealmness.-
Here. at this centre of trade, meet the keen
est of traders and here they pass and repass,
exchanging few words, then hurrying on
until night comes to give time to recast the
speculations of the past day, and to plan the
speculations of the next
In the midst of this intense vitality is the
Hotel for the Dead. Sumptuous beds are
there spread The softest and thickest car
pets deaden all noise from the step. A
splendid reception does the corpse of the rich
man meet as it enters The host, with his
most ofiicious attendants, hurres down to
receive the mute clay Unconscious as it is,
it is laid on one of these rich beds, the head
propped on pillow, the body carelessly COW
cred, as if it had just laid down to rest. with
an embroidered quilt. By courteous fic-
ton, this dead man of business, whose once
active brain lies SO cold and rigid. is sup
posed to be still alive. All the Injuries of his
house arc collected about him in this hotel,
where he is temporarily sojourning. And in
order to enable him to call his attendants
when he awakes, his fingers are placed on the
keys of an instrument by his bedside, the
slightest pressure of which will sound the
alarm.
Yet that alarm has never been given. For
twenty years have the rich dead of Frank
fort gone to this hotel after their death, vet
in these twenty years none of these rich dead
have spoken. Busy men were they, with
wonderful love of life. and passionate desire
for its continuance, which was evidently no.
thing more than by their treating death as a
thing which was only for short time to stop
the rapid current oftheir activity.
6 lie down for moment" says the dying
man, :" but only for moment, and to save
time. my hand is kept on the bell, so that the
carriage may at once be called, and | can
drive straight back to the bank or the count
ing g-house."
But the bell is never rung, and the next
carriage that the once busy merchant gets
into is the hearse.
