COUNTY TICKET.
The Presdcncs Proclamation.

The Proclamation OF the Pres;
dent, which we publish in another
column OF to-day's paper, will be
hailed by tho loyal millions OF the
North as the beginning Of a new
era in tho prosecution Of the war;
Thus far vo have been fighting the
enemy in a manner more generous
than wise. We have allowed them
to send to the field every able bodied
white man, permitting the four mil
lions of blacks to stay at home and
raise supplies for the fighting men,
And, az II this policy was not suili'
cicntly absurd, VIC have absolutely
&sken our soldiers, on whom de-
volved the task Of conquerng a
peace, from the ranks and employed
them in guarding tho property Of
the absent rebel, that bis niggeI
might labor in security, and, under
the muskets Of Federal so!diery,
grow the food to supply the rebel
hosts in arms to destroy our Gov
ernment. We allowed them to be
used ae laborers in their camps, and
ON their Notifications, and even as
soldiers-all the timo rejecting the
services OF tho thousands rendered
who would gladly have toiled and
fought for us. Thank God, the day
for such trifling with the lives OF our
brave men is over. IIencefcrward
ingitives will not be driven from our
linee, bnt will be taken and used in
whatever capacity they arc fitted
Tor. Vho brawny arms OF the slave
will no longer be turned agains,
us; but they will labor with US for
the advancement OF our cause
ilencefor,h the digginv and h"ih
ing-ihe heavy, wearing toll Incl
dent TO wsr, will be performed by
negroes, and the white soldier be
required only to fight. And after
January Let the slaves In all district.
still in rebellion, will be freed thus
sweeping at one stroke nearly one.
half Of their available strength from
them.
We said this Proclamation would
be hailed with delight by the loya
millions Of the North. 1t will bt
welcomed by all, save tho Vallsn
dighamers. They will assail it
they are doing 80 now. True to tbt
progrsmmelaid down two years sgo
and most faithfully carried out, they
oppose this the same as they did the
--..~, o-Soueo IL I5
step toward the suppression Of the
rebellion. The old howls that as.
sailed our ears ia the time OF Ere.
mont in Missouri, are being raised
again with tenfold vigor. Let them
howl. The people who are bearing
the heavy burdens OF this inferna
war, will sustain the President in
this, the more readily that they see
in i. the beginning Of a policy ths,
will end it and restore peace to the
country.

backs too al eurd to carry weigh,
among intelligent men; but Of that
peculiar kind that sways the ingnc'
rant and inilencos those whose pre-,
'udices keep their mouths open ready
to swallow whatever may be okc d
therein. The last and latest ia, tina,
200, 900 "Abolilionlsts," of New
York New England and Ohio, have
set apart a day on which to rise
depose the President and put Ere
mont in power at Washington, a.
Military Dictator, with absolute
powers. Another, (and this the one
that is being mouthed in this local. :
Ity) is, that tho President has the
ropes oil laid to throw overheard
the Constitution, Congress and all
the machinery Of a republic, and to
set up a military despotism, sup
ported by the terrible Abolitionlsts
of New York, New England and
Ohio.
1t is singular that such absurd
stories should find believers, but i,
is ,fuo nevertheless, These Lies are
as firmly believed by hundreds in
Hancock county, as the Bible itself
The people have boon so told by
those from whom they have been in
the habit OF receiving their political
information, and they believe it as
in duty bound.
Itwculd be well enough to irquirc
Of these gentlemen, who go into such
Ispasms over 200, 900 "Aboliiionists'
where that number is TO be found. -
In tho bright days OF Abolitonism
5000 was the heaviest voto they ev.
er poled in New York and that we
one OF their best states. Likewise
it would be pertinent to inquire why
all this 'ear of Abolitoniste? Have
we not teen told a thous and tin O.,
that ono distinctive quality of the
Abolitionsts, was cowardicc, until
the terms Abo,itionist and coward
arc well ni.rh -,.- '..""er I
seems to lis that tho brave Dcmoc

even at the head of his 200. 900. -

repeated calls OF the people for an
investigation into the Yanlue mat

AN AVALANCHE OF AnJEcrIvEs.-
The driseling but devilish spirit of New
England abolitionism, excites mingled
feelings Of pity, contempt and scorp. The
war which Lincoln is now waging upen
the South, is ona Of the most unrighteous,
alto ious and unjustifable recorded in
history. The guilt Of its unnunbered
and heaven-daring crimes rests heavily
upon the head Of the besotted tyrant by
whom it Ia prosecuted for the gratiGca-
ton Of his own unhallowed ambition and
wicked revenge. The Rnlcr of the Uni
verse certainly never designed thata mon-
grel race, composed Of the debris of all
nations of Europe, swept upon its shores
by the waves of the Atlantic infidel and
God-defying; presumptuous, and Bible
ignoring; rife with every error and PER
nicious ism cowardly, cruel and treach-
erous, should exercise despo,i, authority
over Christian people Memphis Ay-

TaE New RAILROAD PKoJEcT.-The
Stockton Repu6lican Of the 7th has the
following on this subject: 1.-THE new rail-
road project, mentioned first by the Re
ps1lieea about ten days since, has attract
cd the attention Of the Alta, the Placer
vile Psssa, and the Independents But
each is in error in regard to the distance
from the POiat on the San Joaquin river,
Rbero the road will strike, to San Fran
cisco, Il being at least seventy.twO miles
BY boat, instead Of fOrty.eight, as stated.
Again, it is sid that the Iide at the same
point on the river only rises and falls
three feet At low tide there cannot be
less than five or six feet Of bank on the
river, and at the highest tide the water
does not cover the land not leveed more
than one foot. An embankment well
made, two and half feet high, will al
ways keep out the water.
