The Sierra Citizen does not half like the
tone Of the NATIONAL DEMOCRAT since the
civil war was inaugurated. The latter Jour
nal said that Douglas Democrats viewed our
paper as dangerous to the cause (of fusion
and sccessiopists y only too reckless to have
much weight. The Sierra Democrat says:
Just for joke, We have taken the trouble

serve in the Goth Regiment of New York, to

istenee.
GEN. ALLEN REMoNsTEATEs-Ge Allen Of
the Nevada Transcript, having been nomina-
ted by us as 4 Union candidate for Congress,
gives himself up to lamentations at the injury
sought to be done him. lie says
We have met with some ticklish mischan-
ces in our time and have seen as much of the
under side of Fortunes wheel as the upper.
We have lodged sheriff; ran away once,
under the pressure Of grave yard cough,
from a sexton and once came nigh stealing
mustang pony in Texas; but we never dream
ed Of sinking SO low as to be insulted with n
nomination for Congress. Our cup of bitter
ness is indeed full.
Among your life trials you cay nothing Of
having edited political papers, or of having
been State officer. General you were wont
to say that the pair Of us were a wag, and
now you crack your jokes without even
consultation.
NOBLE HARr-When Mrs. Anderson
visited her husband at Fort Sumter some
time ago, she was escorted by Peter Hart, an
old soldier who served under Anderson in
the Mexican war Hart gave his parole to
the Confederate authorities that if permitted
to go to the fort, he woull not fight, if he
remained there. The following incident sub
sequently occurred:
When the bombarlmcnt commenced, the
soldier mounted the parapet wall and shout
ed to the men: "Now fire away, boys;
can't fight without breaking a soldiers word,
but III tell you where your shots strike and
whore to look out for danger"
Thus conspicuously mark during the
whole two days bombardment, Hart left the
parapet only once, and that was to climb the
flagstaff to nail the colors to the peak, after
the AaIliards had been shot away.
