FoREIGN sYMpArHY.

| From the tone of foreign journals it is ev-
dent that the foray of the traitors upon our
Government is looked upon in it's proper
| light, with detestation. The civilized world
looks on the bloody Vaccinations Of the
piratical Southern Government as the most
wanton and fagrant abuse of liberty ever
known. Revolutions for adequate causes
are respected. The world admircs a peo-
pie who rise as one man to sell their lives
for sacred rights trampled under foot by
the tyranical heel of power. But, for once
in the history of mankind, and in a civil
ilized age, people have raised the stand
ard Of insurrecton and drawn the sword
when not the shadow of reasonable COM
plant exists. No rights or interests have
been outraged; life, property, religion, poll
itical privileges, verything, has been sa-
credly respected The Government has not
taken a dollar wrongfully from an indivd-
ual or State from the beginning to the
present hour. 1t has fostered and protected
Union became the marvel of the world. A
career of unexampled prosperity and glory
Spread out before US, for US and our
children" All was peace. The rich and
fertile acres innumerable and exhaustless,
of the Republic, sent forth their annual
stores to feed the nations of the world.
The product of our labors was bountiful
and remunerative. Richer mines were
never given by favoring creator upon any
nation, and they were pouring out their
golden treasure, enriching the nation be-
yond the computation of arithmetic, Every
portion of the Republic felt the benign in
fluence of tie golden current But in an
evil hour, the spirit of disorder awoke to
plunge the country in a vortex of ReYolu-
tion.
From an impartial stand point the ma
tions of Europe can view the aspect of
American affairs. They can see wrong and
outrage on the side of the rebels and mod
Grafton and justice on the part of the Re-
public. The issue is order or anarchy,
freedom or slavery, and it is natural that
the foreign press should pronounce for the
side that combats for the right The in
stincts of humanity prompt every we'll
balanced mind to sympathizc with Gov
that has ever acted with kindness
towards its children.

THE COMING FOURTH.

For the last few years Nevada has failed
to get up anything like an appropriate cell
ebratiou of our National Anniversary.
This year she proposes to make full amends
for all her short comings in the past.
From the immense preparations that are
being made, we have no doubt that the cell
ebration of the approaching Fourth of July
in this city will be one of the most brill
liant and successful affairs of the kind in
the State. The managing committee is
composed of gentlemen who never fail to
do, in the best possible manner, whatever
they attempt: and they are using all their
energy to have everything complete. We
hope to see full attendance from all parts
Of the county.
The order OF exercises will be somewhat
after the old fashioned and best loved STYLE
The day viii be ushercd in with the
booming of cannon. As soon as all visit
ors have arrived, grand procession of cit
liens, military and civic bodies, and all
societies and orders that choose to join in
will be formed and marched to the Juno
ton Of Broad and Pine streets. The Dec
laration of independence will then be read,
after which Martial music, and an Grafton
by the Orator Of the day, Rev, B. Briefly.
After the Grafton, the procession will take
up the line Of march for Main street, where
grand free dinner will be served up to all
hsnds. Main street Will be entirely covered
with canvass stretched across from the
tops OF the houses, so as to be cool and
pleasant. In the evening there will be
magnificent display Of lire works, and after
that, grand ball at Temperance Hall, un-
der the supervision of Mr.. Charles Irish.
The porticos surrounding the Orators
stand will, also, be covered, for the accom-
mediation of the Ladies. 1t seems to us
that the programme pro perly carried out,
as it will be, ought to make it Joyous day
for all. We understand that the Knights
Templars intend to turn out on horseback,
and dressed in their magnificent costume
This will be novel and striking feature of
the occasion.
In these traitorous days, the celebrato n
of our Nations Birthday is no empty cere-
mony, void of significance. 1t is a highly
proper time for every man who still loves
his country to publicly make known that
he is yet patriot, and that no touch Of
treason has tainted his blood Let US all
meet, then, on the coming Fourth, and,
with united voice, express anew our de-
votion to that National Banner which for
many long year has been our protection
and our pride.

TRAVEL CHANGEp.-The high fare on the
California stage coaches betw cen this city
and Sacramento is diyerting travel IN a
great degree from its usual channels and
TO the injury of Sacramento rs we'll as Ne
vada. Since the opposition stage line has
been put on the road between here and
Marysvillc, most of our citizens endeavor
to make it convenient, on their way to the
Bay, to 60 by the way of the latter place
instead of BY the more direct route to Sac
ramento. The saving in fare will more
than compensate for the extra timo requir
ed to taavel the Marysville route is shorter
and plessanter. Where time saving is the
great object the traveller takes the Califor-
MIA Stage line for Sacramento and pays the
"high old price demanded; but when
few hours makes little difference with him
and saving is effected in money and COM
fort the Marysville routeis taken for choice.
Il is certainly to the interest of Sacra-
mento and Nevada for direct and cheap.
line of stages to run between the two
places. If the California Stage Company
will not reduce the fare to reasonable
price, combination of the citizens in the
two cities and along the route would serve
to put line of stages on the road in op-
position and keep the line going. All that
is wanted is sympathy, cooperation and
the support of the people interested in
cheap travelling and the benefits 40 result
from the same. II n public expression of
opinion were had on she point we do mol
doubt but that cheap travelling may be had
between this city and Sacramento. There
Ia plenty of stock ready to be put on the
road il fair inducements as to patronage
are offered.

Respect to tho Memory of Douglas.

At meeting of the Nevada Union Club,
held June 10th, 1861, the following pream-
BILE and resolutions were unanimously adop-
ted.
WHEREAS, Since the last meeting Of this
Club, We have received the sad news OF the
death Of Stephen A. Douglas, late Senator Of
tho United States; and whereas, the ilusrious
deceased was a true patriot, and firm and ac-
tive friend Of the American Union, and was, at
the time OF his disease exerting an almost un-
rivalled influence In favor OF sustaining the Nh
tonal Government; and whereas we tho mem
bcrs OF this club, deem II highly proper for us
to take some formal Lotice Of tho death Of so
distinguished and powerful friend and advs.
cats Of our cause, therefore
| Resoired, That tho death Of Senator Douglas,
occurring, as II does, at this particular crisis In
our countrys history, Is a great national ealami.
ty sincerely to DO deplored by every true friend
Of the Union and lover Of his country through
out tho land.
Re.oiped, That these resolution and preamble
be spread upon tho records Of this Club and
published In tho public newspapers OF Nevada
City. +. w. CoLBoURN, Pres't

FAILURE OF CALEB CusHISG.-The failure
of Caleb Cushing for large amount is an
nounced in the Boston papers. The misfor-
tunes of the man seem to come together.
Recently he made application for COM
mand of Massachusetts men in the war
against the traitors. Gov. Andrews refused
Iu letter that must have boen extremely
mortifying to II man OF feeling, but which
was emincntly just. Massachusetts never
produced moro perfect demagoguc and
dough face than Caleb Cushing. lie is
gifted by nature with rare genius, and tall
ent, which has been cultivated In q remark
able degree. To-day he may be said to be
one Of the ablest men, intellectually, ID
America. Caleb Cushsng has prostituted
his talents, and the time of his reckoning
with tho American people has come at last
In early life, when fresh from the halls
Of learning and before the glare Of ofict
attracted him, he was n downright Aboli'
zionist. The Establishments Of office made
him forget his irs: love for mankind an'
he came out toady at the feet of the slav
mower, a traitor TO every thing Northern
and an apologst, IL not an admirer ofcver,
thing Southern. The effect has been h
has ACQUIRED tie contempt Of both section
of the Union. His splendidabilities nigh
now command the respect and admiratio
of all when his property is gone, had the
no. been so badly perverted, but as it
with the dollars goes the deyotee to I'll
.hr;ne of Mammon, and he is left with nor
,o moor as 10 do him reverence.

Since our last issue the Pony has
brought news Of the death of Stephen A!
Douglas, who departed this life at the city
of Chicago ON the Sd day of June.
We do not desire to speak extrayagant
or unfelt praises over the grave of one
whose public course, while living, we gene
rally opposed. Still when the great catas-
trophe which awaits US oil ovsrwhelms a
fellow mortal, and he can no more, forever
be amongst US, to take part in the hot pur-
suits and fierce struggles of life, 1t is natu-
| raj to look back at his character with a
charitable gaze, and to think most of his
brightest qualities, and his noblest deeds.
That Mr.. Douglas had mental abilities of
fine order, and high personal qualities, is
clearly shown by what he accomplished
Accidental circumstances may, for tie mo-
ment, raise very common man to an ex-
alted political position; but to fill so large
a space in the public eye for so long Pc
riod of time as did the lamented Senator
from Illinois, to be the acknowledged Lead
er of great party, and to retain that po-
sition for years:-this is beyond the reach
of mere mediocrity. He, without doubt,
possessed many of those characteristics be-
yond accurate analysis or definite descrip-
ton, which command the respect and in
influence the actions of mankind.
As public man we think that Mr.. Doug
las, although patriotic Mt heart was apt to
be not quite serious enough in the views
which he took of public questions,-was
apt to underrate their Importance, and to
look upon them rather with the eye of a
politician than with the enlarged vision of
a statesman. For instance, we do not
think that (un:il a very recent period, at
least,) he ever thoroughly appreciated the
true nature and terrible reality of the slav-
cry question. He was apt to look upon it
rs trile of not much real significance,
which might be safely handled as the turn
ing point of a political campaign. Like
many others in all parts of the country, he
seemed to look at slavery rs matter that
might be dangerous at some indefinite time
in the far off future, but did not appear to
that thin crust separated us,
of the present generation, from the raging
fires of the volcano.
Still Mr.. Douglas was, at heart national |
patriot, and the last and noblest act of his |
life fully shows it. There is no doubt that |
many of the questions which, during his
day, divided the American people Into hos
tile parties, were more specious than real;
and public man may be pardoned for
looking upon some of them lighly. How
they nearly all dwlndle into insignifcance
when compared with the momentous issues
Of the present hour! And in this straggle
between patriotism and treason Mr. Doug
as was fully, cleary, boldly, and unequivo-
,ally On the side of his country.
His death is great and almost irrepara-
Die loss. He was the Leader of the North
,rn Democracy, and he led them under the
'olds of the National Banner. May his
Mantle not fall unon successor tinctured
With treason; and may each one of his fol-
overs carry in his breast to the end of this
struggle, heart as loyal and true rs that
which lately beat in the patriotic bosom OF
s tsphen A. Douglas.

CANDIDATES FOR OFFICE.

It will, perhaps, be interesting to the
public at large, to be informed Of the can
didates for the county Offices who viii en-
ter the lists for the nominations in the
County Conventions of the parties. Some
of the gentlemen whose names we give are
only put forth by their friends without any
particular desire on their own part to be-
come applicants for office.
For Sheriff.. Walling, of Rough &
Ready, is spoken of, Frank Wilder, OF
Chnrokee, and Frank Ryan, of Red Dog,
on the Republican side. Charles Kent is
the prominent canddat te of the Douglas
Democracy. For Collector, the friends oil
]. N. Turner, arc pushing him out the
friends Of Charles Barker, of Grass Valley,
are anxious to see their favorite on the
course also. In the Douglas ranks, T. T.
Davenport Of this city is prominent. Fori
the Office of County Clerk, the Republicans
en- mass are for Judge Farquhar, of North
San Juan, and nobody else, if he will con-
sent to occupy the place on their ticket.
No one is prominent among the Douglas
ties for the office Doubtless there will be
enough candidates before the convention.
For Recorder no one is spoken of currently
in either party. Geo W. Welch is an
applicant for County Treasurer among
the Republicans and Henry Everett. of
Bridgeport, among the Douglastes. A. w.
Potter will take the Assessorship if forced
on him by the Republicans. R. H. Ray
mond wouldn't throw the Surveyors Office
over his shoulder nor nothing. For the
office of District Attorney, E. W. Roberts
of Grass Valley, ard Geo. S. Hupp, of this
city are applicants before the Douglas
Convention.
For Senator, 10. Kutz would run capit-
ally aud make good Legislator, but he i:
too retiring to ask an Office though just
the man to fill one. He is talked of cur
rently for the Office of Senator by the Re-
publicans, and Eastman from the Dough-:
party.
For the important post of District Judge
T. y. Mcfarland, Esq, will undoubtedl!
be the choice of the Republican Conyen
ton. In the Douglas ranks we understand
John l. Caldwell, Esq, aspircs, and Johl
r. Mcconnell, Esq, is freely spoken Of
