Hannibal HamIin Africanus,

The Washington correspondent of the Rich
mond Dispatch, under date of January Sd, thus
refers to the illustrious individual whom the
Black Republicans have elected to the office OF
Vice President of the United States:
Hamlin has certainly negro blood in his
veins. have seen a letter from gentleman of
high character in New Hampshire, giving the
pedigree of Hamlin. His grandfather was a
mulatto, and commanded mixed company of
negroes and Indians during the Revolution He
pocketed the pay to his company, sold the wine
and other luxuries provided for the sick, and
left the army in disgrace. One of Hamlin's un-
cles, or great uncles, was named Africa. There
is legend in the family to the effect that when
Hannibal was an infant, in the cradle, his
nurse overheard one of the relatives, who was
then gazing at the baby, exclaim, "For God s
sake will this id black blood never get out
of the veins of our family" Members of Con-
gress who served with Hamlin when he was in
the House, say they always knew he had a
streak of negro in him. This is pleasant"
If this be true, says the Va. Tenth Legion, has
attachment to the sable descendants of Ham,
and his afinities with the negro-worshippers,
are not without reason. Of course, Hamin can't
help it, ifhe has negro blood in his veins per-
haps he would have had it otherwise, could he
have been consulted it is certainly hu-
initiating reflection to the proud Anglo Saxon,
that mul ito shall fill the second highest office
in the government.

The Battle OF Cherubusco.

CONDUCT OF THE SOUTH CARoLINIANs.-From
Claiborne's Life of John A. Quitman we extract
the following regarding the conduct of the
South Carolinians at the battle of Cherubusco.
1t is we'll worth reading:
Col. Butler. of the South Carolinians, had left
his sick bed against the remonstrances of his
friends, to lead the Palmettos to the combat
Early in the engagement his horse waslshot
under him. Soon after he received a painful
wound in the knee, and yielded the command to
Lieutenant Colonel Dickinson. Taking the Pal
metto flag from the hands of Sergeant Beggs,
Dickinson placed himself in front, and Beggs
was Immediately shot down. Colonel Butler
now came up to resume the command, and was
killed by the side of Dickinson, while standing
under the flag. Dickinson himself soon fell
mortally wounded, (de died some weeks after
wards,) and Major GLADDEN. received it from his
hands and committed it to Lieutenant Baker,
who being unable from debility and exhaustion
to carry it, Major GLADDEN. placed it in the hands
of Patrick Leonard, and led his regiment to the
charge. His men fell rapidly, but not one wa
vered, from first to last, under the concentrated
fire of the enemy. In the whole history of war
there has never been more striking example of
indifference to DEATH the result of stern resolve.
Each man fought for the honor of Carolina
Several companies were almost annihilated.-
Some had not men enough to bury their dead,
or bear their wounded to the ambulances The
uniforms of some of the officers were literally
torn from their persons; the color-bearers were
shot down, but the flag, bathed in their blood,
was always seized as they fell and borne to the
'front.' Proudly it floated through the tempest
of death until the victory had been won, and
then, all torn and blood-stained, it dropped over
its own glorious dead. The regiment entered
the battle with two hundred and seventy-three
rank and file, and when it was over it mustered
one hundred and sixty 1t had no missing its
dead and wounded made up the deficiency.

A Name ON a Tree.

carved my name on the beech tree bole;
Fool was r.
1.-the of limb and merry of soul,
That saw no cloud on my life's bright sky
Fiye-and-twenty years ago,
When my heart was pure as the drifted snow,
And gave it away,
In the light of day,
To fair young maid-ah, woe is me =
Under the leaves of this beechen tree.
And five and twenty years have passed;
Sad am
Love was fated to last
And the dark clouds gathered upon the sky
And am old my locks are thin;
My life hath nothing more to win;
But the foolish name
Stands here the same,
While all is changed life, hope and truth,
Oh, mocking tree oh, wasted youth
The Shasta courier., 1861-02-16

MISTAKEN IDEA-Old Abe seems to be Ia
most Republicans, that the recent election was
a verdict Of the American people in favor OF
Republican principles. Now no one knows bet
tor than Old Abe that it takes majority of the
American people to give a verdict of the whole
American people. And no one knows better
than he that be didn't get majority of the
voters of the American people by near one mil
lion. Hence the underadded remarks, as report
a Republican paper, shows that the old fellow
would like to make it appear that he was cho-
sen by majority of tie American people. We
forgive him, however, for the sake of the COM
pro.aise sentiments accompanying:
He was asked, Do you think the Missouri
Compromise line ought to be restored?" He
replied that although the recent Presidential
election was a verdict of the people in favor oil
freedom upon all the Territories, yet personally
he would be willing, for the sake of the Union,
to divide the territory we now own by that line,
if in the judgment of the nation it would save
the Union and restore harmony
Again:
In speaking on the subject of q compromise,
he said " 1t was sometimes better for man ia
pay debt he did not owe, or to lose demand
which was a just one, than to go to law about
it but then, in compromising our difficulties
he would regret to see the victors put in the
attitude of the vanquished, and the varquished ID
in the place of the victors. lie would not con.
tribute to any such compromise as that.
The Shasta courier., 1861-02-16

RESTORATION OF THE JEws.-Serious sugres-
tions have been made since the late Syrian dis
turbances have been quelled, to place that
country once more in the hands of the Jews
The welfare Of Europe demands that this coun-
try should be placed in the hands of some in
dependent power. The power of the Moslem is
fast passing away, and is already too weak to
preserve order within his own proper domin-
ions. European jealousies will not allow conti-
mental princes to be established there, and the
only practicable solution of the question seems
to be the establishment of an entirely new pow
er as proposed. " Jerusalem for the Jews is
momentariy filling the papers.

New ENrERPRIsE.-W. B. Stoddard, Sam.
Donovan, Thos. G.. Baldwin and Ed j. Bald
with, nave filed in the Clerks Office of Trinity
county the necessary papers for incorporating
the Indian Creek Fluming Company. The
company record three miles of Indian Creek,
and issue forty shares of $1,000 each, making q
capital stock of $4,000. Mr. Stoddard is one
OF the Oldest and most enterprising citizens of
Shasta county. His fine judgment and great
experience in mining, gives us every hope for
the success of this enterprise. We welcome him
to our county, and may the world wonder at
the good luck" of all concerned in the Indian

HoLD EN- AND LET EN- FIzz TILL They Frz.
zLE OuT."-This is the suggestion of a humble
private citizen. as to the best mode of treating
the secessionists. His idea is the correct one
and furnishes good text for a brief statement
of the policy that will kill out the disunion con-
spiracy, if anything can.
The Shasta courier., 1861-02-16

GOVERNMENT OFFIcERs.-There are at present
about 10000 offices in the gift of the General
Government, for which we may estimate 600 900
applicants, showing that little under one thir-
teenth of the people of the United States are in
terested not so much in the good of the country
as in change of the Administration. Does moi
this assist in explaining why President is never
chosen for two terms now a-days?
The Shasta courier., 1861-02-16

CoIScIDEScE.-It is a coincidence not a little
singular that nephew of Major Anderson, the
commander at Fort Moultrie, is the classmate
and chum of Mr.. Lincoln's son at Harvard Col
lege.

WHERE WILL THE WAR BE ?-The Boston
Courier, in an article upon this head, says:
awe trust there will be no war between any
portion of our w-countrymen, unless it be
necessary to maintain essential and inalienable
rights But if it comes at all, it uiu of necessity
be 6ettceen those who hare stood By the Union and
those rcho are resolved to make no concessions in
order 10 sape the Union. And wher that dreadful
period arrives-which Heaven avert-Mr Sena-
tor Hale and those in sympathy with him riH
find no united North on their side What sort of
warfare would he wage by an insignificant
majority in the free States, against l,sOO, 900
men there tcho roted against his opinion9
On the same subject Philadelphia paper
says:
Let US tell the North Americdn-and we speak
for some of the bone and sinew of the North
that when it forces snch war, so unnecessary,
SO iniquitous and criminal, it will have bloody
combat here in the North, before its black ban
ners and its Wide Awake army shall reach the
South. Black Republican sectionalsm and n-
cendiarism has as bitter and as determined en-
emies here as it has there-men who will resist
negro government and a negro war to the last
gasp of life. Should such a terrible war come,
then every Northern city will be transformed
into camp.

A Short Love Tale.

We love trief love-stories. Indeed we al
ways skip that portion of loye-novel wherein
the author moralizes, sermonizes, ruralizes, and
jump away over to the thread of the tale. In
fact We are always eager to see justice done-to
see the villains slain, drowned, ducked in a
horse-pond, or otherwise punished, and the
gallant and noble young lover and the tender
and ever-faithful maiden hugging and kissing
each other in speechless ecstacy. Hence we
go in for short love stories. Now here is one
that suits US to dot. The whole things in a
nutshell. No doubts, anxieties, jealousies. op-
positions, troubles. With both it seems to have
been sort of ceni, vidi, riei affair. Meeting
each other they gazed, loved, plighted their
troth, and-straightway "went up the flume"
of happiness, and hence their romance is very
properly called

SHASTA COURIER.
'Alf-and-'AlE.
The annexed resolution passed the House of
hy q vote of "a to 5H:

The annexed resolution passed the House of
Representatives by a vote of l24 to SO:
Resolred, That we fully approve the bold and
patriotic act of Major Anderson in Withdrawing
from Fort Moultrie to Fort Sumter, and the de-
termination of the President to maintain that
fearless officer in his present condition, and we
will support the President in all constitutional
measures to enforce the laws and preserve the
Union.
Burch and Scott voted in the negative; there
fore Burch and Scott condemn Anderson, and
will not support the President in ali constitu-
tional measures to enfore the laws and preserve
the Union. Burch and Scott are wrong in con-
demning Anderson, but right in not blindly
pledging themselves to support the President in
any and all constitutional measures which he
may see fit to adopt for the enforcement of the
laws and the preservation of the Union. It
would be perfectly constitutional for the Presi-
dent to concentrate the entire army in the State
of South Carolina in the next few weeks Sup
pose he took it into his venerable head that that
was the best way to preserve the Union, would
any sensible man have our Congressman pledge
themselves in advance to support him in the
crazy scheme?

UP THE LANE.

Sweet Margaret Fame came up the lane

And at Christmas they were married.

ARRESTED FOR HIGH TREAsoN.-The Charles
ton Is. C.) Mercury of January 10th, contains
the following:
al. n. Merriman, Collector of the port of
Georgetown, s. c., was on Monday last arrested
by the people of Georgetown, on a charge of
treason against the State. A letter was found,
written by him, and addressed to Mr.. Buchan-
an, stating that he (Merriman) had just cleared
vessels in the name of the United States and
would continue to do so. The letter calls upon
the President to send boat and men to collect
the Federal revenue; informs him of the pro-
gress made in the construction of the works
near Georgetown, and promises to keep him
posted, from time to time, in relation to the
matter. The letter is signed by his initials, j.
n NJ. When arrested, he acknowledged having
written it.
Well, that is decidedly refreshing An officer
of the U. S. Government arrested for the crime
of.treason to the nation of South Carolina, for
writing letter to President Buchanan Won
der if old Buck does not despise himself for
having permitted himself to be used by men
who now exhibit the utmost contempt for him.
II Gen. Jackson were President, he would arres.
Col. Hayne, the South Carolina commissioned
and hold him as a hostage until Merriman was
liberated. Buchanan, however, will abandon
him to his fate, as he did Maj. Anderson.

oLD 10. LANE Sniktaw'' writes from
SCOTS Bar the following reminiscence of the
mining days of old 10. Lane in that region:
Mr.. Joseph Lane, the gentleman that ran on
the Breckenridge ticket for Vice President, for
merly worked or the river. Lane Gulch
tnamed after him) is about as badly worked out,
minerologecdliy, Old Jo. is politically; the
miners bare all seeded from it. When Mr.
bane worked on this river, he was noted for his
love of cards and whisky, his social disposition
and his careless dress. There is a man on this
river who has, in the last ten years, drank, at
the least calculation ten barrels of spirits in
81 he and old 10. worked and camped close to-
gether, and bought their liquor by the bottle in
partnership. passer, one day, saw, the ten
barrel man (Mr. J. sitting on a rock, with an
empty bottle, slightly crying lie asked him
what was the matter. J. held up the empty
bottle, and, with sad, miserable countenance,
said the liquor was all gone that 10. could take
two drinks to his one.
