the Republican Fusion and Ablition Shaml
Union Party in California, the Marysville
Appeal grows jubilant over fact which il
thus announces:
"The telegraph informs us that the Presi-
dent has signed the bill prohibiting slavery
in the Territories:
The doctrine of tho Douglas Democracy
has been, that Congress had no right to leg i.

must decide whether they would have the ill.,

The DEMOCRATIC ADDREss.-1his docu
ment, says the Hartford (Conn.) Times,
meets with the general approval of the
Democratic press While The sectional jour
nails squirm under its forcible truths; the
Democracy everywhere bail it with en-
thusiasm; as the very thing demanded 10y
the exigencies Of the country. The Harris
burg Patriot and Union, the old and faithful
organ of the Pennsylvania Democracy says
of it: "The National InteHgencer publishes
an address issued by democratic members of
Congress. 1t is a vigorous, terse and elo
quent production, and will meet with hearty
response from the Democratic masses, and
from thousands not heretofore identified with
the Democratic party" The Aboitionsts lie
nounce it, but fail to answer its arguments.
1t has aroused the Indignation and malice
of the Administration, and extraordinary ef
forts are being made to coun teract its in
f1uence. Government agents are employed
to manufacture public sentiments against it
and telegraph operators forced to report
that it is not we'll received by the people
But, not wthstanding these ceaseless and
unworthy efforts, it increases in popularity
and the loyal, conservative masses, without
respect to party, indorse it everywhere. The
Democracy of El Dorado stand square upon
it, and with it will achieve a great victory.

BULLY FOR THE NIooER.-A large number
of rebel prisoners, both white and black, are
confined at Camp Chase, Columbus. Most
Of them were taken at Fort Donelson. The
blacks were just rs much in arms against the
Government as the whites, and are deserving
the same treatment but our State authorities,
with their characteristic love for the nigger,
are releasing the blacks to live off the people
Of Ohio. while the whites are retained. Who

No UNION WITH SHAREHOLDERS. Not.
withstanding the batent outcry SET up by
the republicans about preserving the Union,
there are no more bitter enemies on earth to
its restoration on the old basis than the
members Of that party. They may attempt
to disguise their honest sentiments by lip
patriotism, but at heart they have no desire
nor wish to bring back the seeded States as
they we're before the act of secession. They
want no Union with shareholders, aud would
tomorrow array themselves against it if the
South should consent to return to her
allegiance on a measure of adjustment
guaranteeing to the respective States their
constitutional rights as independent members
of the Confeleracy. The republican idea is
that the border States, owing to the abolition
influence that can be brought to bear upon
them, will do away with slavery, in few
years, of their own accord and that through
the instrumenlality of the war it will be
abolished in the more Southern States.
Taking this view the republicans are vocite
rous Union srreechers, while they are uu
npromiSinyy opposed to its reconslruc
ton as it was bequeathed by our fathers.

that there are more Scottish decenden,s in

than 5000 Germans, 10000 French, 5000

The SAMARITANS WHO NEVER MARRY
This ancient race will probably ere long have
ceased to exist, as it has long been gradually
but surely diminishing. At the present time
the whole tribe consists of not more than
one hundred and fifty persons, and as their
laws forbid them to marry except among
their own people, there are now twelve young
men who cannot find wives. They dwell at
Sechem and every Easter 90 up with their
tents, to Mount Gerizim, where they keep
the passover, with precisely the same cere-
monies which accompanied its celebration
two thousand years ago. Like the Jews
they slay the pascha lamb and oins gir!ed
and staff in hand they eat it with bittar
herbs. Unlike the modern Jews with whom
they have no dealings whatever) they have
their High Priest, and his Office has ever
descended in the same family. The present
venerable old man will be succeeded by his
nephew, who is now a rabbi; besides these
two officiating priests there are six slayers,
whose duty it is to kill the sacrfica lamb.
Not only is the passover celebrated as of old.
but every rite mentioned n the Bible is ad
hered to with the greatest exactness and
minuteness.

REACTION AMONG THE GERMANs.-The
New York Sun, staunch Union paper, says:
"A tremendous reaction against the repub.
lican party, as lately constituted, seems to be
in progress throughout the entire German
population of the northwest. In Iowa, the
democrats are looking for thousands Of Ger
man votes where they never had them before,
and in Minnesota, Missouri, Michigan, Hi
nos, and even Ohio, the change of sentiment
is astonishing. Evidently they have no no.
ton Of competeing with free negro labor.
and they see if repubIicanism is not checked
the negroes will underbid them for work."

WINE GROWING LAND.-The. breadth Of land
in California suited to the grape culture
is estimated at nearly 100000 acres Of
which as yet, if we are not mistaken, less
than 5000 are actually planted with the vine
A large portion of our vineyards are young,
and have not begun to reach their full bearing
capacity, which is scarcely attained until the
vines are Is or 20 years Of age and vines Of
40 years standing yield twice as much fruit
as those Of l5 years. The average prodnct
of wine in California from vineyards in good
bearing, is about 600 gallons per acre, being
largely il excess of the most favored loca.
tions Of Europe, even Italy itself, where the
greatest yield is reported at less than 45O
gallons. These facts may serve to foreshad.

A debate ensued on the motion to recon.

the course of the debate Mr.. Cowan said it
might be said he intended to lecture the
Senate, if he thought they deserved it 10y

dogmatic.

Mr. Cowan-When that Senator settles
the little account he has with his colleagues
in the other House. it will be time enough
for me to pay attention to that kind of re-,
mark, I'LL then he must excuse me.
Mr.. Wade spoke of Mr.. Cowan as having
a II .ht to be mere advocate and watchi
dog of traitors in the field but should not
come here to lecture the Senate; who ever
heard of him? Though he was willing to
be criticized by somebody having some au.
thorily, he would rather be lectured by any.
body than Senator from Pennsylvania.
Mr.. Cowan said he might be very humble
in experience and unknown but he was here
as a Representative of Pennsylvania He
represented three millions of people and was
not going to apologiz. to his people for his
inexperience or youth. He never understood
that age or service here would qualify Jolly

Thomas BoYcE, NEWSPAPER AaENr.-
We have been a good while intending to
mention conspciousy Thomas Boyce's News
paper Agency at San Francisco. After
years of experiment, we find Mr. Boyce in,
comparably the best agent in the country,
accommodating and prompt to moment.
If we send to him for an invoice of paper
or a package Of type no matter how large or
how small, the desired articles come exactly
as direce |, precise the sort sent for, and
always at the earliest time they could be
got here To Accommodate a citizen for
whom he is accustomed TO do business
Boyce would run all over San Francisco fol
row Of pins; and SO far AS our newspaper
experience has been, we found him absolute
ly nfaIlble. Citizens Of this county desir
ing the procurement Of any article in San
Francisco, or the transaction of any business
there, may rely on the fidelity and prompt
tude of our friend Boyce. For ourselves,
we would not break the old business connec
ton, to secure the services of all the other
agents in San Francisco.

We can endorse every word of the above,
for Friend Boyce has been our agent for
or years, and we know he is worthy of the
praise the Neeos bestows upon him.
