Are Party Lines Obliterated z

PARTY LINEs.-In nearly all of the North
ern States party feeling has abated, and
party lines have, for the time being, been
almost entirely obliterated. This is as it
should be, for old issues are buried out OF
sight, and new ones have arisen which over
shadow all party measures of the past -
When the existing contest for the preserya-
ton of the Union and the maintenance of tn,
law is terminated, there may be a new diyis-
ion Of parties. by lines which are not now
even shadowed forth. And it is better thai
it should be so. He is no friend of the
country who now seeks to galyanizc the is
sues Of the past and to perpetuate old party
divisions. Let us have truce, at least, il
not E permanent peace.
So says the Boston journal of few days
since, although eghty-four incumbents of the
Boston Custom House had been removed
within the twenty days previous for being
democrats. We find the guillotine still at
work, for il is yet later announced that more
inspectors, appraisers, a me0surer, and a
night-inspector are to be added to the list
in ALL amounting to one hundred.
While this is the case, we can hardly think
the journal in earnest in the erasure of party
lines. Morever, we understand that eight or
adopted citizens) of the neutrality-suspicious.
department have been removed, into whose
places but TWO OF SUCH cITIYENs have been
installed.
Is the Journal, then, in earnest? or is the
party now in power not only prescribing for
party lines, but singing out the adopted
citizen for the headsman's axe?
We rather think that in the vicinity of the
Custom House, party lines are more strin-
gently drawn than ever for at no previou;
period have there been over one hun1rnd
removals in month. We rather think that
Collector Goodrich is "perpetuating old party
divisions" Is he not, friends of the Journal?
-BoSton Pilot.
In California our experience is the same.
Republicans are most indecently clamorous
with regard to the Federal plumber. The
retention of Democrat in the most insigni6-
cant subordinate position is the signal for a
public outburst of partizan indignation. The
Republicans here are in favor of obliterating
all but Republican party lines.

EFFECTS OF THE LATE EARTHQUAKE "A
correspondent of the Morning Call, writing
from San Roman, says
The earthquake mentioned in your issue of
the 4th, visited this valley with great force.
The oldest inhabitants have experienced no
shocks as hard before. The dwelling house
of Mr.. Dougherty was partly thrown down:
the school house was moved from its founla-
tion, and many others had their chimney.
aud walls badly broken. The destruction o
erockery was considerable many who kept
their dishes upon open shelves, lost nearly al
their ware. The ground has opened wide
enough at some places to swallow a man. A
valuable spring has ceased flowing. and a
stream has commenced running in bed
which before was dry. Three shocks ere
felt about P M, on the Sd one in the
evening, and five during the night. Each
night since shocks have also been felt. 1t

AN INCIDENT At FoRTREss MoNRoE.-One
evening lately, at Fortress Monroe, writes a
correspondent, woman was observed care
fully advancing step by step across the
the bridge from the encampments toward
the fort. She seemed either to be- or was
pretending to be blind. The former proved
to be the case. She inquired how far she
was from the fort to which she was going,
and then, in answer to questions, revealed
her story. She was from New York, and
had an only son in one of the regiments en-
camped on the outposts. Though blind, to
use her own words,she had accomplished the
whole Journey from New York, and had Just
been out to the camp to "see" her son. On
her arm was an empty basket, in which she
had borne him little delicaces which the oe-
casion and mothers love would suggest
She had had guide, but his "pass" would
not permit him to accompany her further
than the further end of the bridge; so that
she was left blind and alone, to find her way
in the twilight back to the fort-a distance
of more than mile Presently a couple of
privates going in the direction, approached
On her case being represented, one of them
most readily and respectfully offered his arm
to the devoted mother, and they passed Oh.

FATAL MINING Accidental man named
James Black was killed in the old Mitchell
claims at Woolseys Flat, Nevada county, on
Tuesday morning last. The circumstances
are thus detailed 10y the Journal:
An attempt had been made on Monday to
sluice the claims through tunnel which had
become stopped. Black went into the tun-
mel and attempted to clear out the obstruc-
tions. lie remarked it was the most danger
Gus place he was ever in in his life. On
Tuesday morning he went in again with a
Frenehman for the purpose of removing the
difficulty with all due caution. They had
not been at work more than ten minutes
when the pressure of the water &c broke
away the obstruction and washed both the
miners out of the tunnel. The Frenchman
succeeded in getting out with some bruises
Black must have been instantly killed, as
when found his skull was crushed 1t is con-
ceded by all who knew Black that he was
one of the most careful of miners.

An Anti-ButtOR-HOle Candidate.

The following extraordinary announcement
appears in the reading columns of the Ne
vada Journal Although the writer uses the
plural pronoun "we," in regular editorial
fashion, the asterisk at the bottom is an un-
kind exposure, on the part of the editor OF
the fact thai" we" i. c. the editor, never wrote
it,
j. N. TURNER.--The impression seems to
prevail that this gentleman will not be q
candidate before the Republican County
Convention tomorrow, for the office of Col
lector. We are authorized to state that Mr.
Turner has been and is a candidate for that
position, but decliaes to button hole, or influ-
ence single delegate in his favor, leaving
the matter of selection of candidates wholly
to the unbiased judgment of the Convention
when it shall assemble.
A man who ignores button hole influence
has about as good chance in a Republican
Convention as one who ignores party"
Perhaps the advertiser ignores button-holes
to about the same extent that the Republi-
cans have ignored party in the State gener-
ally.
STILL ANoTHER.-We find in the Morning
Transcript another asterisk editorial, in which
another gentleman is named for Collector
Butterworth gives no information as to his
intentions with regard to button-holes:
REPUBLICAN CoNvENrGoN-Thi body meets
at the Theater at 10 o'clock this morning,
for the purpose of nominating the Repubh-
can candidates for county officers. The
names we have heard mentioned in connec-
ton with the various offices to be filled are
all satisfactory enough. Mr.. VIM. Buterworth,
formerly Sheriff of this county, we have
heard named in connection with the Collect
orship. Mr. b. is familiar with the duties
of the Office and his past record as public
man shows that the Convention can make no
better selection to fill the Office

surprise because the State Central Committee
resolved that the San Francisco Herald be
adopted as tie organ of the Union Democrat

explain. The Committee do not mean to
forbid other papers from supporting the
ticket in their humble way nor do they in
tend to decree that all Democrats shall take
Mr. Guthrie's paper. Perhaps even differ
ences Of opinion between the Herald and
other party journals might not be followed
by the accommodation of the latter. The
Committee must have meant to say to the
party in a delicate way: "The Herald will
hereafter be sound, because John II. Ridge
is to be the editor. The party will please
forget its support of Gwin, Breckinridge and
Secession, for it has joined the church and is
in the hands of q Union man."

nels without detection. He publishes card
in the Enquirer of yesterday, addressed TO ais

them have been in vain, if they would fall TO

that, in anticipation Of the probability Of this

Even in the hour of just Indignation, We
will admit that one redeeming trait, and it is
the only one we can see, characterizes the
North in this most unholy and atrocious war.
Ii is that every man stards by his section, and
that not siDgle soul occupies neutral posi-
ton. Ia this crusade of crime, maiignity, ra-
pine and lust, no one is permitted to refuse to
take sides, and the universal sentiment is,
"lie who is not for Us is against Us"
Now, ii there is lower deep of dsprayi;y
ana crime than that Of the North in an armed
crusade OF subjugation, coniiscation ane. rape,
it is that of the citizen of Virginia, who, af-
ter the vote Of the Virginia people has ratified
the Ordinance Of Secession, after the State
has been invaded, her people murdered, and
women in Alexandria subjected to fate worse
taan death, presumos to occupy Il position Of
neutrality.
Some such there are in every community,
but the time has now come when the sovereign
voice Of the people of Virginia has proclaimed
her Independence, aud the neutrals, if such
there are will no longer be permitted to oc-
cupy that position, but made to declare which
master they will serve. Men will not be per-
mitted to remain in Southern communities
who, like certain Union men III Alexandria,
arc prepared to act rs friends, allies and
guides Of the enemy, wherever they obtain 8
| foothold. If such there are, let them depart
| in peace let them go out from among us, be-
| cause they are not of US.
| As for the open enemies and avowed traitors
| like CARLILs & Co., we have only this to say,
that, if they wish to leave Virginia, instead OF
seeking to retain them, we would give them a
parting kick that would expedite their depar-
ture as speedily as possible. The fiery fur
mace Of these times is separating the dross
| from the pure gold, and the separation de-
tracts nothing from the value Tho disatiect-
ed section of Virginia has always been dead
weight upon the treasury Of the State, and, il
it chooses to adhere to the neighboring free
| States, instead of compelling it by force OF
| arms to remain, we would pay it for going
We shall then have homogeneous people
| with no admixu of the CARLILg element
| to produce future disturbances, and to bring
| disgrace upon the name of Virginia.
