CHEERING.-We have been permitted to
make the following extract from letter
from an old resident Of Fl Dorado City to
a gentleman in this place, under date Of
August l6, 1861" The extract will be
read with interest by politicians who arc
looking out for the strong side: "Politi.
cal excitement in this part Of our county
is at fever hCat, all seem to take deep
interest in the issues involved, the claims
and capacity Of the different candidates
are discussed, and the soldiers are falling
into line for the great battle in September.
The signs are indeed cheering for the
Democracy. The old cause is again
arousing the old patriotism, which has
slumbered for while, in consequence Of
discussions which almost demoralizcd the
party. Happily they arc now ended. a
very large majority Of the voters here
will decline to be led further on by in.
tcrested Ofiice.scckerS, in an insane and
suicidal warfare against the old Demo.
cratic party. The principles OF JefTer.
son and Madison are still held dear by all
true and intelligent Democrats, and they
will maintain them At every risk, fearing
not to be called "secesSionists and trait
Ors, while battling for CONSTITUTIONAL lib.
erty. The second sober thought is now
fully at work. The false lights, the plau.
Sible and inSinuating teachings Of dema-
gogucs, that misled confding men, are
seen and proved to be false il is now
made patent that the shrill shrieking for
the Union, was but an artful dodge to OBJ.

the honest Douglas Democrats in your

men and who are not tinctured with Re-
publicanism, turn to the old party and

PEAcE.-Our late exchanges from the
Eastern States bring US the cheering in
telligence that large and spirited peace
meetings are being held in all the West
ern and some Of the Northern States.-
The war, at first so popular, is becoming
hateful to the people; "the burdens Of
pecuniary embarrasSment-the distrac-
tions Of business-the demoralizations Of
military life-the loss Of kindred and
friendS-the suffcrings that follow in the
train Of civil wharf.-the needless sacrifice
Of thousands Of gallant men-arc being
felt, and they all call for peace and their
call will not be disregarded." The ultra.
lists, who recommend extreme measures,
and threatened TO hurl the Cabinet from
power, If they limited at compromise, are
denounced by men Of their own party and
looked upon as enemies Of the Union by
all conservative men. "Yet little while
longer" and we shall expect to hear the joy
ful tidings that peace has been proclaimed.

Wafer Hunters,

Wen does not know everything in the
world tina. is worth knowing. Trees know
something, and generally speaking thew
mako better use Of their knowledge than
do the lords OF tue soil upon which they are
growing.
Set tree in the sand, that is not n native
OF the desert, but had its birth and educa-
tlon down 10y the water course. We con-
demn 1t 10 u Sahara, and it droops at fret ::
1t IS bomesick; we say it Is about 70 die,
and begin 10 talk Of cutting it down, and to
ask, why cumbereth It the ground ?
But II only sheds a leaf or two, and
brightens up, and looks almost-but not
quite-as beautiful a5 ever. Then every
body wonders, but the tree has secret,
and the secret is talent !; not ten, 10 be
sure, but one, and that one is an instinct.
1t wanted water ana it could not 90 for il.
but then it could send, and woaldn't that
90 nearly as we'll?
And who were they that should carry
the little pitchers TO and fro, full from the
fountain to the tree. and back again empty.
for mJre. Where we're the little divers
thst should. always be asking for more and
getting it withal.
Somewhere, not great way of and un>
80 '"o S'Vu"u perhaps, u u HttIe spring, a
brgotten vein in this river laced earth. and
n you investigate the mystery with the
spade, You will find that RIres have been
dispatched in every direction from the roots
looking for water. Here and there they
ran under the dark earth lighted on their
wanderings, by the feeble lamp Of Instinct:
IN one place, only lettle way aud aban-
doned the search :: but in another, on Z Of
went, doing the trees errand, until thev
reached the subsrranean water course, and
then, how they sent home the word and
the water the good news from far coun~
try and they heard it and felt i, in the
top most branches, and hung out little
green fass, that autiered in the wind for
