FATAL ACCIDENT IN YREKA-On Wednes-
day evening last, Wilde a number of men
were employed in erecting the pavilion at
Yreka, says the Journal, serious accident
occurred, resulting in the death of Mr. Ed
ward Taylor, Of that place. The particulars
are as fellow. 1t became necessary TO change
one of the guys attached to the center pole,
and for this purpose Mr.. Taylor was sent
aloft. Before the worka,en could get ready
he grew impatient and cut one of the ropes
supposing he would be able to hold to it
with his hands. 30 sooner. hcwcvcr, was
the rope cut than it was jerked out OF his
hands and the pole commenced falling. The

to him to slide down, but it seems he had
not presence of mind enough to even make
an effort to do so, though all who witnessed
1t say the pole moved very slowly until with
in twenty or thirty feet Of the ground when
1T fell with a heavy crash. lie was instantly
picked up, but life was extinct. 1t was as
certained that his neck was disloeated, and
his left arm and thigh which were around
the pole, crushed. When it became apparent
to him that he was falling, he exclaimed, 90
my Cod" but never uttered sound after
wards. No possible blame can be attached
to any one but himself, as be had positive
instructions not 10 cut the rope until all was
made fast below. What makes his conduct
appear more strange and inconsistent is the
fact that he was an experienced sailor. He
was native of Salem, Massachusetts, and
thirty odd years of age.

From the Dublin Nation. Nav l1th.

Our countrymen in America have resolved
to give their assistance towards maintaining
the integrity of the United States. We do
not suppose that they are all unanimous in
taking that course, but it is clear, from a
perusal Of their organs of the press, that the
vast majority of them have enthusiastically
ranged themselves on the side of the North,
in the struggle now unhappily commenced.
Their views will be found expressed in the
speech delivered by Richard O'Gcrman at
the New York mass meeting, which will lie
found with our American intelligence. 1t is
well known that hitherto the sympathies OF
the Irish in America did not run all lengths
with the Northern or Abolition party. in
fact, the extreme men of that party frequent,
ly charged theM with being favorable TO the
slave system, and many were the tGunt.
levelled at them for having, as it was said
run away from slavery in Ireland, to assist in
maintaining it in America This, however
was not a true description Of tAe 1rishAmer
lean position. They left land in whck
they We're oppressed, and went to one iE
which they found freedom. As they were
enemies to the government that injured them
so they were friends to the constitution that
sheltered and protected them. As they hated
the Union Jack, and longcd to see it trailed
in the dust, so they loved the Stars and
stripes, and wished to keep it Aying high
and free, and unsullied for ever They stood
therefore, by the laws of the Union, and up
held them, Euch against the will, in many
instances, of the Northern States Now they
mean to uphold the same laws and the same
flag against the will of the Southerns awe
swore," say these sh-Americans, "to be
true to the Constitution of the United States
and we will keep our oath"
So, the Goth Regiment of militia, every
man of whom is Irish-tne same gallant regi
ment that refused to parade before the Prince
of Wales in America-has marched away
from New York to defend the city of Wash
ington--the capital of the Union. And Thos
Francis Meagher has issued a call for Irish
volunteers to go under his leadership, on o
similar mission-a call which was almost i'm,
mediately responded to by thrice the requi-
site number of volunteers.
We wished that this fratricidal war should
not have arisen; now we can only pray that
1t may soon cease.

A Happv Speech .

One of the happiest speeches we ever
Glanced to hear in Napa, was that delivered
by the Hon. John Mcconnell, last Wednesday,
night. The democracy Of the State are trul
ly fortunate in having for q candidate so
courteous, firm and logical reasoner. There
was no attempt at following, figuring or mys,
tical illumination Of visionary ideas, but the
speaker portrayed in the garb of honest truth
and convincing argument, the impolitic wat
attitude of the republican party and its eveu7
tual failure to bring about what all lovers of
their country must advocate-a reconstruc.
ton of the union. He avowed himself 4
Union man, and longing for its perpetuity
under the equal and exact rights, guaranteed
to all portions of our people, under our Ma
,ional Constitutions; but he unhesitatihgt
denied that the way to perpetuate the Union
was bv war. Peace, compromise, conciliai
ton were the only elements through which
our now discovered countrycould be reunited
The Republican party had refused all PROPOSE.
tions of compromise, and were now bent up.
on subjugatng, or attempting to do so, hosts
Of our people by plunging the country ire,
trievably in debt, leaving this incubus as All
Inheritance to our children besides desola-
ting the land with blood.
Mr.. Mcconnell spoke nearly or quite two
hours, and was listened to attentively by q
large audence.--Napa Echo Aug. TO-.

Catching it on all Hands.

The "Conness Ticket don't take. 1t is
voted a humbug even by the strongest kind
of coercion democrats. The Shasta Herald,
which has for the last few months, been ex.
ceedingly loud in its advocacy Of the war
policy, and which expected to support the
nominees of the "last Convention" as Hol.
mes who belonged to it, calls it, cannot
swallow the pill, and expresses its sentiments
as to its merits thus:
"In many respects it was one of the most
remarkable bodies that ever assembled in
Sacramento. 1t was made up of delegates
without distinction Of party or reference TO
partisan issues" Of the debris of all PARTIES
of delauched polilicans--of Wings, desti
tu,e of principle, but hungry for office-of
doubtful Republicans, Know Nolbngs, free,
dom shriekers and Bukheaders all attracted
by the cohesive power of the spols. After
a sharp and acrimonious struggle they sue,
ceeded in nominating that model democrat;
John Conness, for Governor. Next on the
list, for Lieutenan: Governor, we have Dick
Irwin a gentleman of easy habits and more
easy virtue, of little intellect and less infu.
ence, and distinguished only for his pertinac-
ity as an office seeker, and his strict adher-
Speaking of Mckibbin the Herald says.
at will be remembered, however, that two
years ago he united with Baker, the Rerub-
lcan nominee for Congress, against the nom
nees of the regular democracy, to defeat the
party which had warmed him into life. He
is man of but little mark, and owes what
little prominence he has before the country
to his devotion to Broderick than to any
other circumstance"
One of our exchanges thus sums up Major
Bowie, the Douglas nominee for Attorney
General:
"IIe is distinguished for his urbanity, his
sateliness, his probty, his matchless shirt
coHar! but more than all for the unanimity
with which Conventions nominate hm--the
unanimty with which they afterwards vote
against him. He has long enjoyed the sou.
briquet of the "Great Defeated and was
placed upon the ticket to save sacrificing q.
more popular man."

A REcoLLEorIoN OF JOHN MERRIMAN.
The Washington correspondent of the
Philadelphia Ledger says, that when the
Pennsylvania Regiment arrived at Cockeys-
vile, Maryland, they were entirely destitute
of provisions. One gentleman generously
provided them with hams, beef, meal and
-four killing many Of his finest cattle for
the regiment He refused all compensation
either fran the Government or soldiery.
This mans name is John Merriman. he who
is now incarcerated at Fort McIIenry and
