A SINGULAR ITEM.-The Nevada Democrat
noticing the singular death of Prof. E. J.
Mitchell at that place, on the 18th inst. says:
cat about l01 o'clock, Mr.. Crush, one of the
proprietors of the hotel, heard the deceased
making Intellectual attempts to strike light, and
come out of his room and make for the stairs.
He had his pants in his hand, was groaning and
shaking terribly, and declared he had been
poisoned, and was sure he was going to die. He
complained of burning sensation in the stom-
ach, seemed to be in great pain, shook and
cramped badly, and sweat profusely. He had
been taking medicine and thought he had swal-
lowed wrong dose. In about half an hour
from the time he was taken he breathed his last.
Coroner Henry called jury, which returned
verdict of death from some cause unknown De-
ceased leaves wife and children in Sacramento"
The verdict of the Coroners jury seems extra
ordinary, under the circumstances. A man in
the full possession of his faculties rushes out of
his room in a state of alarm, declares he is
poisoned, in half an hour afterwards is a corpse,
and the jury with these facts before them, go no
further than to find that the deceased came to
his death 'from some cause unknown Why
was not post mortem examination held on the
body the contents of the stomach investigated !?
and the result made known to the public, who
could perhaps arrive at more sensible conclu-
sion than that of the learned jury? There is a
mystery about the matter which, from the item
as quoted, it is very difficult to understand.

R9 THE Marysville Express, and perhaps

pW The Marysville Express, and perhaps
one or two other secession papers of this
State, make the ridiculous assertion, that
the design of the Administration, after sub
jugating the South, is to suppress the Cath
olic religion Here is an incendiary motive
patent on its face, and the editor who has
SO little self-respect as even to insnuate it,
would have no claims upon public protection
or sympathy, if, as one of the natural con
sequences of his evil design, the mob spirit
which it invites should make him one of its
earliest martyrs.
But unfortunately for the truth of such an
argument, the Constitution of the United
States expressly forbids a religious test,
while the citizens of such States as North
and South Carolina make it a matter of
boast that they are descended from the Hu-
guenots, who believed it was doing God SER
vice to burn Papist at the stake, or rip
out his bowels whenever occasion offered
No persons understand these facts better
than intelligent Catholics themselves. and
the Express offers them gratuitous insult
when it seeks to impose upon their imagined
credulity by such shallow sophistry. And,
by the way, we direct its attention to the
following item, clipped from the very latest
dispatch received by pony express:
"Bishop Hughes, of New York, had given
warning to the Catholic clergy in the South
against taking up arms in opposition to the
United States Government, and against
countenancing rebellion"

u In the columns of the Marysville Express
Will be found many of those items which may be
said to constitute the offal of the respectable
press-ail having direct tendency to dignity
the cause of rebellion at the expense of Northern
men and the National Government They are
not found in telegraphic reports of the pony
news, nor IN loyal papers; but are hunted up
from alien sources, and published with view to
aid and encourage treason. And yet every one
knows, that, according to its own professions,
the Express is downright Union paper.

No REsoURcEs.-The poverty of the South
has been most lamentably exposed since the
commencement of the present war. 1t was we'll
known the new Confederacy lacked a navy that
it had few, if any manufactures for arms and
munitions of war; that its soldiers would be COM
PEELED to derive their subsistence, their uniforms
and their weapons from Northern sources; that
the blankets on which they slept, the shoes
which they wore, and the furniture which decked
their horses, were imp ,rted from abroad; but it
was supposed they might command the means
to overcome all these difficulties. The facts now
appear to be otherwise. Not cent of credit
can the new Confederacy obtain in Europe
And why should she, when several States in
cluded in her Government have no moral nor
legal sense of binding obligation? Foreign
capitalists have some idea of how much faith to
put in people who believe in reputation, and
practice it whenever opportunity occurs.
Even the popular idea of "Cotton is King
has been exploded. The English are seeking
markets elsewhere for that staple, and Corn has
usuped the place of the article at home to sus-
tain the armies.
The South is indeed poor, without material
sinews, to say nothing of that greater mendicity
which lacks the moral power to create friends
with generous sympathy for her cause.

SOUND DoCTRINE.-Let the Fourth of July
Convention adopt platform before making any
nominations, and let it be up to the loyal senti-
ment of the country. Trimming or qualifying
would drive thousands into the Republican
ranks-Marysville Democrat
No doubt of it. Something more than plat
form is required. The people require pledge.

Cooke, writes
"The North has now openly and according to
the usage of civilized nations declared war on u.s.
We make no war on them; but, should the soil

luted by the tread of single man in arms from
North OF the Potomac, it will cause open war;"
The sang Jtroid of this paragraph reminds us
OF the Constable and the Magistrate. Said the
former to the latter: esquire, you and have

CLowNs.-Twenty years ago the ringmaster
addressed the clown of circus as ''Mr. Merry
man." and the clown, in reply, said Master"
Now the surnames of both parties are used,
which is much less courteous, and considerably
more commonplace and unromantic. Twenty
years ago the wit of the clown was derived from
great variety of sources, and introduced at such
times as to be always appropriate. Now, the
clown has no smart things cut and dried certain
to produce laugh when uttered, but depends
mainly upon his own resources, which are not
always r-prolifc-particularly if the "small
hours" of the night previous were spent in
wassail with friends. His wit is too often gotten
off at the expense of some well-known citizen,
whose name is not unfrequently used in dis
reputable connection.
The clown should be an educated man, of
quick perceptive faculties, fluent in speech, gen.
tlemanly in address and refined in conversation
His daily observation and reading, if he were
such man, would always furnish him with SUBJ
jects pertinent to the times and his auditors,
without requiring him to descend to the use of
vulgarisms which CRATE harshly upon the ears of
cultivated people, and ought not to be listened
to by children. 1t is this vulgarity, sometimes
verging on profanity, which has afforded the op-
ponents of equestrian amusements powerful
argument against them; and it emanates from
the clown alone, for he is the principal in the
ring. "Brandy cocktails "whisky smashes,'' -
bar-rooms, stables, gaming saloons, Bob this, or
Jim that, Sal, Sue and such other real or imagin-
ary things or persons, might easily be dispensed
with, and higher order of people and subjects
appropriately introduced. 1t is to the children,
after all, that circuses are mainly interesting !;
and when the language used by the clown is cal
culated to vitiate their morals, it ought to be
discountenanced and forbidden. The broader
the joke the greater the laugh from the Juvenile
side of the house-showing plainly that an inn
preston is made upon the mind of youth, by
those very salies which it would be the desire of
parents and guardians they should not hear.
Why cannot the clown reform his vulgarity /?
The age of enlightenment and refinement de-
mands it, and it should be the duty of public
opinion to its greatest efforts to enforce such
a demand.

FALSE 1ssUE.-The secessionists feel that
they cannot justify the rebellion of the cot
ton confederacy against the Government
and have adopted the ingenious but disin-
genuous policy of crying out against 'war
of su6jhgation." 1t has very correctly been
said in series of Union resolutions which
we read somewhere a day or two ago, that
"no war of subjugation can exist, unless
waged upon the local, reserved rights of the
States'-a thing which never has been and
never will be attempted; and very we'll are
these sympathisers with treason aware of
that fact
If it be "subjugation" to restrain robber
from tieecing and demolishing ones premises,
to repel force by force, to adopt legal means
Of recovering that of which one has been
unlawfully deprived, to maintain in it's puri-
ty Government with which o-thirds of
its people are entirely satisfied, to enforce
obedience to just, liberal, enlightened and
impartial laws, then the rebellous States
will undoubtedly be subjugated "The king
crushes his enemies" Let those who fear
the consequences of their evil course, reform
it, and there will be no necessity for resort
to "subjugation."

UNION STATE CoNvENTIoN.-No one sup
posed there would be much of a Convention al
Sacramento on the 18th, and there was not. A
few delegates met and recommended the as
sembling of another Union Convention on the
10th of July. This body will be large and full
one, with representatives, no doubt, from every
county in the State. Before it meets the Repub-
licans and Douglas Democracy will have made
their nominations. If they select any suspicious
or unpopular individual, his defeat will be GER
tain, as we presume Union ticket will be made
up from both the parties named which will, be-
yond all question, secure the election of Union
men to all the offices, and checkmate the seces-
sionists in the only hope they entertained, viz
that of securing the prizes while the others
divided their strength in quarreling for them.
THREE OF THEM.-John Downey made SO
good Governor, that it is now begun to be
thought by some of the leading politicians in
and about San Francisco, that we must have an
Irishman to fill the Chief Executive office ol
State for two years from the first Monday of next
January, molens ro1ens A fight for the nomina-
