The HUMBOLDT MINEs.-The miners hav-

Age, are now,+urning their attention more
generally to opening their claims, many of
which promise well, No mills have as yet
arrived IN the country, nor are there any on
the way in, rumors to the contrary Moth

the rock sent to San Francisco to be crushed
The Cuba ledge, into which they have now
got about two hundred and fifty feet, is turn

district twelve leads are now being opened
in thorough manner. Two new districts
have lately been laid out north of the Hum

districts fifteen miles. is called the Castle :;
the other about twenty five miles northwest,
is termed the Antelope. In both some work
is being done and fair prospects obtained
On the whole the future of these mines is

Russell ON the Union and Republicanism

Mr.. Russell, the correspondent Of the Lon.
don Times, in-a letter dated October 7tb
says:
The idea of the Union is, in plain English.
the idea of one sole dominant mower in ,bs
whole continent of North America. And If
were native of the United States of North
America, | would fight for that idea. The
contrary notion may spread rapidly if the
South succeeds. Already we hear a Gulf
Republic and Texan Confederation spoken
of; long ago there was talk of a partv in
California anxious for separate national
existence of that State. which will nrobablv
increase if 1t is found that the United States
can give 1t no more of the national propertv
IN roads eypresses. ana -nastal expenses--
and now tasEe are nints y .xf ia The fs.ishecs
OF time the States in the West and North
west may think it expedient to form a Re-
pubic OF their own. inasmuch as thev have
no particular interests IN common with the
other states, and derive no special advanta-
ges from beng governed at Washington
ihere is no fear of the failure of republican
institutions, except in their demonstrated
power as an agency by which to govern and
keep together one vast confederation No
matter how many separate States NAV he
formed, there can be no doubt that in ali the
form OF government would be republican in
greater or less degree. Without including
many people in South Carolina. and fewer in
other States, who express liking and pre-.
terence Tor constitutional government. or, at
all events, for strong government. the prin.
ciple OF republicanism is grated deeply in
the hearts of the American people, and they
could not be otherwise than republicans if
they desired it. Sure " said an Irish ovor
seer on the railway the other day. "God
help them they've got no iintlemen in this
country at all at ALL" The social system is
like their street railways, very accommodate
ing for the mass, but utterly destructive of
your peace if you want to drive in private
carriage. The stuff out of which an aristoc-
racy could be formed does not exist to anv ex-
tent; the upper ten thousand, with all their
graces, wealth and luxury-their accomplish
ments of good breeding-do not desire to. and
could not march in the mail of Howards.
Lindsays, or Montmorencies. So far repub.
licanism is safe.

PARTrIsM REBUKED.-The following. from
the Springfield Republican, the leading Re.
publican paper in New England, may with
out slight alterations apply with propriety to
this latitude
1t is strange that people cannot lea n
when their room is better than their com
pany. 1t is strange that people cannot learn
when party organization has outliyed its
organizations. 1t was Just so with the
Know Nothing organization .he men who
rode into office on the American issue fondly
thought they could cternize their party, and
keep their grasp upon the offices. A portion
OF the Democrats are laboring under the
same miserable delusion that their party is
not dead. What we wish to assert is that
the Republican and Democratic parties are
practically dead-that not single issue is
up to-day that involves distinctive princi-
pie of either of these parties. Both parties
arc patriotic in the main. They agree on
the proposition that the Union must be sus-
tanned by force of arms end as the only
question at issue is whether the Union shall
be preserved or not. there is a call for no di-
vision among the people except that which
places all patriots in one party, and all trai-
tors in another
To our readers among the voters Of Massa-
chusetts we have simply this to say-that
the Republican party has. to all appearance.
fulfilled its mission. 1t has decided at the
ballot box, so far as the ballot box can de-
eide it, what the policy of this country is, re-
lating te slavery. The South-or a large
portion of it-has apr called from the decis-
ion af the ballot box to the arbitrament of
the sword The field of operation has been
changed. Now we are to decide by war
whether this Government is to be sustained
or overthrown-whether Democracy rules
this country or Neutrality-suspicious. we have
a country and a nationality or not With
these facts in view, we do not hesitate to say
that man who can pretend to belief that
the Republican and Democratic parties are
not practically dead, must belong some
where along the range that runs between a
knave and a fool. Why can we not all ac
cept the facts as they exist Why must the
people wait to show their common sense in
order to accommodate a few greedy nurslings
at the teats of the treasury

Changing SEED.-The practice of fire.
quently changing seed is now recognized in
many sections as essentially necessary to the
production of first rate crop. We all know
that the practice of procuring seed potatoes
from dstance-say 20 or 25 miles-and
from different kind of soil, has most
marked influence on the product. While the
rationale of this is not quite obvious, the fact
is undisputable. The same result follows
also in the management Of corn, wheat pump
kins. beans and garden seed. Even where
exchanges are made between farmers in the
same ne'ghberhood, and where there is no
very marked difference in the geological or
mineral characteristics of the soil IN the re-
speetiye localities, the practice is induetlye
to improvement Let those who have never
tried the experiment do so-on small scale
at first. if they are at all skeptical, and mark
the results, both as regards quantity and
quality of crop.

gospel recently called TO seei him, to entrea
him TO desist from his mad policy of coer

wade knee deep in blood before entering

The Richmond Examiner, speaking cf the
Federal Troops, says:
Take them all in all, their forces are as
precious set of rascals as could be scraped
together with fine teoth comb from the pot
houses and hell houses of the North. They
have been fertilized by filth, and grown up
crisp, fresh and unmitigatedly wretched

Washington are negroes, with the scepIioI
|of two or three drummer boys. Gen. But

Our readers may recollect old Ben, the bar.

emigrated to Liberia with small compe.

Enquirer, speaking of the National Capital

Davis, in one of his speeches, not great
while ago, remarked with characteristic en-.
ergy, that
