ANOTHER EVIDENCE OF UNSOUND-
NESS

One strong objection the people raise
against the so-called Union Democratic
party, is the uncertainty of the course its
nominees may see fit to pursue if elected.
Inasmuch as near one half of the reputed
! Union Democrats in the Legislature of last
winter were found wanting when they
came to the test, the fear is entertained
| that others of the same party professions
may be treacherous when the trial comes
And there is good ground for fear in this
matter. The course pursued by the San
Francisco Herald shows conclusively that
there is a considerable element in the
Union Democratic party disposed to dis
grace the country by concession to the reb-
els. 1t is useless to point to the Union
platform of the party, when the leading Or
gan advocates doctrines at variance with
that platform. 1t is possible that all the
candidates for Office put forth by the party
may be sound Union men, who will be true
to the patriots cause in the hour of trial;
but it is not probable that some of them do
not sympathize with the sentiments advanc-
ed in the leading journal of the party
We may with reason assume that's portion
of the State ticket and the ticket of each
county in the State is infected with dubi-
Gus characters. We have the experience
of the past, and the indications of the pres
ent to sustain the assumption. Who are
they? We can not tell any better than we
could last year before the election. Candi-
dates for Office are reputed to dissemble
their sentiments in the face of the people.
There is safety to be obtained in one way
alone. If we want reliable men to fill the
Offices they can be found in that party
known to have no doubtful Union men in
its ranks. The Republican party, from its
very position, is sure to be true to the
Union. 1t can lave no incentive to COM
promise with traitors, or disgrace the ma
tion by any parley with rebels.

PINE STREET BRIDGE.-We understand
from Marshal Gregory that about s., 900 of
the tax for building the Pine street bridge
is already paid in. Mr.. A. S. Hallidie. of
San Francisco, submitted plans and propo-
stions to the Board of Trustees en- Monday,
for wire suspension bridge on the old site
to cost $4,000. The SIAN calls for bridge
OF 324 feet span, roadway IA feet, and ele-
vation six feet higher than the old bridge.
The cables are proposed to be 81 inches in
diameter and calculated to sustain a dead
weight of 240 tons.
1t may as well be mentioned in this con-
nection that plan is devised to test the
constitutionality of the law under which
the tax for the bridge is levied. If tn: law
be unconstitutional and wrong, it should
be declared invalid, and we know of no one
who could justly object to the destruot on
of an act that is Illegal. We trust, however,
that there will be no delay in bringing the
case to a decision. The want OF a bridge is
a serious inconvenience to a large number
of citizens, and if the tax has been properly
levied and collected it may as we'll be ap-
piled TO the construction of the bridge as to
lie useless in the city treasury. An agreed
case could be easily made up, and submitted
Immediately to the Supreme Court, and we
presume statement of facts would induce
that tribunal to dispose of the matter at
once

SUBMARINE MILITARY TELEGRAPH is said
that a project is on foot and has been brought
to the attention of the Government backed by
the recommendation of Gen. Mcclellan, for es-
tablishing telegraphic communication between
the seat of Government and the different naval
and military stations on the Southern coast 1t
is understood that the President and Cabinet ap-
prove the measure, and that the enterprise will
be commenced at an early day. Mr.. Cyrus w.
Field las interested himself in getting the re-
quired information and perfecting the details of
u plan for the accomplishment OF the work. 1t
will require less than 80 miles of submarine ca
bic to connect Fortress Monroe and Newport
News with Washington. One hundred and fifty
two miles more Of cable will reach Uatteras,
and o52 miles will be required to connect that
point with Port Royal Ninety-seven miles
more would reach Fernandina, Florida, from
which there is an overland line to Cedar Keys
From the latter point to Fort pckens would
requile - miles OF cable, and from Fort Pick
ems to Ship Island lO2 miles. The whole cir
cuts from Ship Island 10 Washington would
r,1nirc bat about 1900 miles of submarine ca
Die. The price at which the cable could be
procured would vary from $500 to $1,000 mile,
according to the quality and quantity of mate
rial used. The whole cost would not probably
exceed million and q quarter Of dollars.

Another Soldier Fallen.

George Bla,slell died at Camp Griffin Nov
10Th, aged % years.
He was the son Of Jonathan Baisdcl of
Albany, Vt. His mother dying while he was
yet an infant he was received into the family
OF Levi Bartlett, Esq, Of this town, where he
continued TO reside unit! twenty-one years of
aye. and by whom he was ever regarded as
son and brother.
When treason lifted its horril front, men,
acing our national existence he heard the
war cry and with others FASTENED to tie scene
of conflict, ready to lay down his life in the
righteous cause of that country that gave him
birth. lie enlisted in the Fourth Regiment,
Company &, which was soon ordered to the
i" sacred soil of Virginia." where he fell a
victim to an attack Of bilious fever. His
sic! ness was brief, his death sudden, but we
trust he Was not unprepared to meet the dread
summons
Through the kindness Of Capt. Foster the
body was cmbalmcd and forwarded to his
friends in Plainfeld, where burial rites were
duly performed. The coffin wrapped in the
folds of our national flag, was escorted to the
church by detachment Of " Home Guards :"
detailed tor that purpose, where appropriate
religious services were had, when he was con.
signed to his final resting place.
The deceased was person Of many excel.
lent qualities. lie won largely the confidence
and respect Of his numerous acquaintanco.-
We have the testimony Of officers and soldiers
to the high esteem in which he was held by
his companions in arms, and the respect
shown by his townsmen on the occasion oil his
burial, indicated their high appreciation of
his personal worth Though but few hours
notice was had Of the arrival Of his remains,
yet the chapel was filed with former friends
whose fearful eyes and sad couatenances tes-
tilted to the sincere grief felt in view Of his
death. =. 7. RAY.

A Capselsss War.

The London D'ai, of Dec 9Th, speaks boldly
out against England y going to war ON the sim
pie point that Capt. Wilkes violated the law of
nations in not taking the Trent as y prize, and
says;
=" Under any circumstances we could not ap
prove OF war on this issue. Unless it i, folly
or hypocrisy to talk Of Christianity as defining
the duty of nations, tie nation commits Il sin
which goes to war to avenge petty insult. 1t
would be prcposterous to maintain that the OK.
istence, the prosperity, or any real interest of
England is at stake in the present instance. It
is beyond doubt that by reference to arbitration
the affair could be bonoraby settled, aud we
cannot conceive any Christian man affirming
that, except In case of necessity, it is lawful
for nation to shed torrents of blood. For
success in war arising out of this quarrel, no
Christian minister could pray, no Christian SOL
der could fight. Every Gardiner, and every
llavelock would lay down lis sword. Mr.. Bright
has set good example to our public men, and
we call upon influential members of Parliament
to step forward and declare that war in such 4
quarrel would be disgrace to our country

lie Trent AFFAlR.-The position Of our
Government in relation to the Trent affair is
stil myst,ry. Some hint of it may reach US
eioro long from rebel sources, but so far as tho
onlon papers are concerned it is all as yet mere
mater OF speculation. Either the Government
succeeds most excellently in keeping this secret,
or 1T has no secret to keep. The indications on
INKS side OF the water are certainly peaceful,
1honsh as much cannot he said of the foreign
news. 1t Is now . surmised ~ that our Gov.
efnmen5 will deliver up Mason and Slidell if de-
mandcd, but endoayor to make good trade
IN DONG 50 by securing guarantee from Eng
land never to help the South.

From the Christian Messenger.
Our Relations with England.

We have not been able as yet, to learn the
precise nature of the official instructions to
Lord Lyons, in regard to the Trent affair, but
late advces from Europe appear rather more
favorable, but it is certain, that we are liable
to have war with England, and we have reason
to fear, that under the circumstances, that
government would be too willing for such
a catastrophe, England is making grea
preparations for war. What further proof DO
we want of England's being Thoroughly rous-
cd up than we row have; the shipment
munitions of war to the United States stop.

An Unapprecisted SKY.


1t is y strange thing how little, in general,
people know about the sky. 1t is tho part of
creation in which nature has done more for
the sake of pleasing nah more for the sole
and evident purpose OF talking to him and
searching him, than in any other of her works );
and it is just that part in which VIC least at
tend to her. There are not many Of her
other works in which some more material or
essential purpose than the mere pleasing of
man is not answered by every part Of their
organization but a very essential purpose 81
these nigh: so far as we know, be answered,
if once in three days, or thercabouts, a great
ugly, black rain-c!oud were brought up over
the blue sky, and everything well watered, so
all left blue again till next time with perhaps
Il film Of morning dew. And instead of this
there is not moment of any day of our lives
when nature is not producing scene atttr
scene, picture after picture, glory after glory,
and working still upon such exquisite and
constant principles Of the most perfect beauty,
that it is quite certain that it is all done for
US, and intended for our perpetual pleasure
And every man Wherein placed, how ever far
from other sources of interest or beauty, has
this doing for him constantly.
