''EATs DIRT"
The Patriot says:
Once we thought the North, with Lincoln to
lead, would fight; we thought that, though fanat-
icai, the Republicans were not cowardly dogs
we thought they would at least attempt to make
good their proud and scornful boasts against the
"barbarians" South. But as day after day, they
"back down." first to the military necessity
of giving up Sumter; then, to give up Pickens,
in fact, from every place except Tortugas and
Key West, the only place Northern Wide
'rebel," we see no prospect of fight and can
only rejoice over the spectacle, Of the tables
being turned and the Yankees, seating dirt"
Such is now the state of affairs. Lincoln has
proved utterly unworthy of ruling; the Repub.
licans forget all in the basest scramble for office;
their scheme has failed and at present they are
powerless. They haze been torcedto eat dirt and
bow again to the dominant Southern race, and their
shrieks Of rage are the only sounds heard from the
NORTH. Through the press from The workshop,
from he starting masses; from the merchants
ruined; from, e,syy trade and condition, comes The
cry give up the forts let as 'eat Dirt" let as again

placed in its stead the flag Of the Confederate

resent the insult we have invited their Wanted

LOCAL MATTERS,

FIecTINe.-Our irrepressible friend, DIR. N.
McNaughton, and the everlasting John Smith.
we're arrested yesterday afternoon, bv officer
Kneer, for creating disturbance in a saloon
on Broad street. They got into a DISPUTE on
a subject of vast importance to themselves, but
OF no interest whatever to the rest of mankind
As natural consequence, hard words were
followed by blows, and while the by-standers
we're making ring to give the combatants a
fair show Knerr pounced upon them, and the
twain presently found themselves in the pres
ence Of Justice Kendall. The Justice having
heard the evidence, adjudged them to pay eight
dollars each, or in default, to be imprisoned
four days in the ealaboose. Smith paid up his
fine; but the Doctor, being out of funds Just
at that time, started out, under the escort of
the officer, on collecting tour among his pa
tientS, and we are happy to learn that he raised
money enough to settle the demand.
AFFRAY.-A serious affray occurred one day
last week, at Sweetland, between ]. C. Broder-
lex and man named Clifford. The difficulty
originated over game of poker, which the
parties were playing in Woods store Clifford
struck Broderick several severe blows with
weight, when they were separated. Broderick
afterwards procured revolver and fred three
shots at Clifford, neither Of which took effect.
Both parties had been drinking freely, and the
difficulty was afterwards amicably arranged.
BOARD oP CANvAssERs.-The County Su-
peryisors met yesterday as Board of Canvas
sers, to examine the official returns, compare
them with the tally-books etc. The work will
be completed to day, and the certificates issued
TO the officers elect. A few errors have been
discovered which viii slightly vary the official
vote as heretofore reported, but the changes
are not material. The Board will probably be
in session tomorrow.
VoLUNTEERs.-We understand that a COM
pany of volunteers is being organized at North
San Juan, and arrangements are in progress to
organize another at Grass Valley. We doubt
not that another company could be organized
in Nevada were the means procured to pay the
necessary expenses. Sixty-fve companies, in
all, are required of this State Nevada county
has already furnished one one of these, and
should furnish three more.
CAMP MEETING.-We learn that Metho-
dist camp meeting is in full blast, near the
American ranch, at the head of Penn Valley.
One sinner has already been converted, and
several others ara in hopeful condition.

INDIAN ALLIEs.-The Memphis Avalanche
OF August 2O.b, has the following on "Our
Indian Allies"
The red men Of the forest are gathering to
the standard of the South. Albert Pike. the
indians friend, acting as Commissioner OF the
Confederate States, is forming alliances with
tne most noted tribes Of the West. Even the
wild Camanches, heretofore untamable, are
ABOUT TO be brought under the protection and
influence of the Confederate Goyernment and
mustered into the service of the Confederate
States. 1t will be grand sight to see a cav.
airy brigade of those wild and fierce horSemen
OF the desert subjected to the discipline of civ
lllzed warfare, fighting the battles of the South.
Our Indian army will strike terror into the era
ven hearts of the mercenary invaders.
