The Republican Meeting.

On Tuesday evening last, the Republican
nominee for Governor, Mr.. Stanford, made a
very brief talk to the people here. The ex-
treme brevity Of his speech was either caused
by his great modesy Or his want of ability TO
make talk the surmise is, that it was the
latter, and we think he convinced the crowd
that he was not the man for the position which
he seeks. He has, in no instance, eynced any
executive abili-y---a thing most needed in these
troublous times. Should he be so unfortunate
as to be elected, he could be only nomnally
the Governor Others would stand behind the
Gubernatorial chair, and Stanford would play
dumb orator.
No comparison could be drawn between
him ard his great competitor, CONFESS, the
Union Democratic nominee, that would not
detract from Mr.. Stanford, either as a speaker,
statesman, executive, or politician.
After Mr.. Stanford retired from the stage.

THE BATTLE AT Bulls RuN.-As the
smoke of the great battle at Bulls Run
which resulted so unfavorably to the Federal
arms-clears away, and we are enabled to
glance at the true state of affairs, it is shorn
of the appalling feature attributed to it by the
first reports. The panic appears to have
reached but a small portion Of the army,
while the main body retreated deliberately
and in order-that the whole affair amounts to
about the same thing as drawn battle is evil
dent, from the fact that the rebels were con-
tent with simply remaining upon the battle
field, without attempting anything like gen.
eral pursuit. We are inclined to believe that
the rebels experienced enough in that day s
events to convince them that men who will
coolly and deliberately face battery of rifed
cannon, who will storm and carry an entrench-
ment at the point of the bayonet, through a
seet of iron hail, with odds in number two to
one against them, are not such consummate
towards as they have been wont to believe
Although we regret the reverse which our
arms sustained, regret the loss of the brave
men who fell in defense of their country, vet
we believe il will fually result in the nations
good. The wild, fanatical frenzy prevalent in
the North for speedy forward movement, is
thereby cooled down to a firm, cool and un-
yieldy determination. Military men will be
allowed to devise and perfect their plans, unin
auenced BY an excited populace, and the grand
army will soon again advance. slow and eau
tious, sure and victorious.

not yet transpired. Captain Willis, of Com
pany Z, has notified the members of his com.
maDd to report themselves to him immediately,
and make all due preparations for leaving
Oroville on Monday next We are requested

SHoE.-As we go to press rumor is cur.
rent that man named Ashley was shot in
morning, by man whose name we are unable
to learn. Ashley was riding, in company
with Dr. Buffum, when the man appeared and
made the attack. The first shot took effect in
the breast of his horse; the second shot took
effect in his abdomen several shots were then
fired at him with pistol. We are unable to
ascertain the extent of his injuries, or the
cause Of the attack. He was alive at last
accounts.

HEAVY TAXES Frank Pixley in his speech
last Saturday night, stated that while the
people of Kentucky were taxed 371a cents on
one hundred dollars the people of California
had to pay sir dollars taxes on the same
amount. As there is nothing in the statutes
of this State indicating any such figures We
conclude that be must have got his information
he so graphically alluded. Can't you take of

IL PURSUIT OF PLEAsuRE--Two of our
prominent citizens, on last Thursday morning,
drew reins over the backs of span from the
stable of our friend jack" heading course
towards --, where, barring accidents, they
intended that evening TO pay their devoir to
beauty, at the shrine of Terpsichore Our
friends got along very WELL keeping correct
bearing, till arriving a short distance beyond
where by some unavoidable accident,
they were emitted from the buggy, and forced
by that immutable law of nature, gravitation,
to make ground connection. The last known
of our friends, their whereabouts discernable
by cloud of dust, they were in hot pursuit,
one hauling the buggy, the other riding, of
one Of the horses that seeded at the time of
the catastrophe.

We appeal to every man who possesses a
spark OF humanity or patriotism, if it is not
time this insane war was ended by peaceable
settlement ?-Marysrille Express.
The Confederate authorities say they will
not except any other settlement than an ac-
acknowledgement Of their independence, and
final separation from the Union-a granting
of all their demands while they yield nothing
to the General Government From the above
extract it appears that the Express is in favor
of such settlement. Is such the case?

MIssING.-A rumor prevailed on Wednes-
day evening last, that man had been drowned
in the river opposite town. On enquiry, we
found that young man named Myron Rice,
formerly of Michigan, an apprentice at the
Iron Foundry and Machine Shop, of Messrs.
Locher & Co., was missing. and at first sup
posed to have been drowned, on account OF his
clothes and hat being found on the bank oil
the river near where be had been accustomed
to go for the purpose of bathing. Subsequent
discoveries have created doubt in the minds
of his employers regarding his fate, as he pos
sessed q rather excentric character but Il
short time previous, he had burned all bis
papers and letters. His clothes, except those
above mentioned, together with the money
which he was known to have, are nowhere to
be found Although no cause is known, his

of two valuable horses, and the serious injury
of two men. 1t appears that after the foot
race had come off, horse race was gotten up
between Mr.. Wm. Vannest, and Mr.. Coon

horseback after doctor; at the same time
Mr.. Samuel Bragg, being at the other end of
the race track. started for the scene of the ac
cident, also on horseback when about mid
way of the track, where crowd of men were
standing, both riding at full speed and evil

their horses came in collision, their heads
striking together, killing both instantly
Bragg's horse had his neck broken in two pla-
ces the other had his back broken The
riders were thrown in contact with each other,
and fell to the ground with their horses. Mr..
Shultz had his collar bone broked In two
places his shoulder badly hurt, and face badly
bruised Mr.. Bragg received severe injury
in the upper part of the spine, which affects
the brain. His face and shoulders were badly

THE TEAPLEToN CAvALRY.-Last week we
published communication from Mr.. McLaugh-
lin, wherein he takes exception to an article
published by US on the Goth of July, which is
as follows:
THE CAvALRY.-It is singular that the only
company organized ln the State, under TEN
pleton's CALL is the one here. What is the
matter everywhere else Is there nothing to
be accomplished anywhere else, except in our
county? Its not to be political play troupe,
if we have been rightly informed. Fail in.
The ground OF complaint in the communica-
ton is stated thus :" You state that you have
been Informed that the company was organized
for political purposes" We didn't state any
such thing. If persons who are fearful of mis-
representation in newspaper would only read
closely enough to criticise justly, we cannot
object but to overlook language and make
tie paper say entirely different from its Ian
guage is forcing the thing little too heavy
upon US by inserting lengthy communications
without cause. Don't be tender footed before
you march. Who's right now?
Fatal. ALTERcArIoN.-A political aterca-
ton occurred at Turner's Store, in this county,
about four miles above Chico, some time
during Wednesday evening last, in which one
Gibson, a Secessionist, was killed, by Miles
Harper, a Union Democrat. The particulars
as related to US by Mr. Woodworth, Shasta
stage driver, who derived bis information from
an eye witness, are Substantially as follows =
During political discussion, angry words
were passed between the parties, when Gibson
drew knife in threatening manner, at the
same time approaching Harper, who protested
that he was unarmed. Gibson then handed
his knife to a friend and the parties engaged
in fist fight, mutual friends iu!erceded and
separated them, when it was supposed the
affair was settled. Shortly after Gibson got on
his horse preparatory to leaving, when, at a
remark from Harper, who was standing in the
store door, he dsmounted, and again drew his
knife, which it appears had been hauded back
to him, and made rush at Harper Harper
stepped back q few feet and caught up dou-
bic barreed shot gun, Gibson still advancing,
endavoring to throw the muzzle Of the gun up
with his left arm, bat received the whole
charge of buck shot directly in his breast,
passing out at the back Notwithstanding the
terrible mortal wound, he followed Harper,
who retreated, distance of thirty steps, and
then threw his knife at him with all his power.
He then turned and walked back some FIVE
steps and fell dead.
Harper has been tried by the authorities
and acquitted, on the ground of justifablc
homicide.
