that tale, when we talk of being "posted

Ing "up to the mark" (though this may be

we have produced what Emerson calls
Representative Men. We have men of war

others; historians, orators, politicians, cot

endless. But all these men used the words
of the English language for their purposes
and the English Language TO a great extent
engendered them, and made them what
they have been. The crop of general in-

such race Of Titans as these, and this is

AN EvENTFUL PERloD.-This is indeed an
important era. The American people are
now making history that will be read with
interest, not only when the boys and girls
OF to day, shall have grown gray with age,
but for centuries to come. None Of The
events recorded in the history of Greece
and Rome, that are still read with so much
interest, were ofsuch worldwide Importance
as what is now transpirng in this year Of
Grace 1862. Our young readers, aud even
grown people, who pour over the details of
the war Of the Revolution aud that of 1912,
can hardly realize that greater strife,
aud If possible, more important one, is now
10 progress in our very midst. The result
is to determine for the whole world wheth
er or not free government like ours, is
strong one. capable of endurance, and
adapted to the wants of the human family
The struggle, its causes, its details will be
constantly written about, talked about, re-
ferred TO in the highest legislative councils
OF this and other countries, longer than the
youngest child that reads these pages will
live. Let all the youth. then, read about,
and study the transpiring events of the day,
and let them be discussed at the firesde and
at the table aud 10 the school room, 10 fact,
everywhere.

THE Town OF SNELLING.- The Merced
Banner thus notices It's county town:
The town of Smelling, from which we is.
sue our paper, takes its name from the orig.
lnal settler upon the tract of land upon
which the town is located. The place was
regularly laid off by Mr.. Smelling in the
year 1856, and that year became the coun-
ty seat. Mr.. Smelling donated to the coun-
ty the block upon which the court house
and county Jail now stand. and as an evi.
dence Of the sterling worth and integrity
OF the donor, his neighbors gave his name
to the new born town. The county build.
lngs although plain and unostentatious, are
credit TO the county, aud compare favor
ably with similar other counties. The town
lies upon Merced river, and during the re-
cent flood, n portion of the town plot and
some OF the buildings were swept away. but
the loss thus Occasioned has been re-
placed We are told that at this time the
title to most Of the property in the town il

precarious nature, which deters many from
purchasing that would do so If its situation
was otherwise. This we regret, and we
trust that our courts may settle the conflic-
ting interests Of parties, and clear and

our business men and citizens will com.

him whose name IL bears, agreeable TO our

There is no denying the fact that the
course of this war has brought many
Southern men to a condition of depression
which is not warranted by the facts, and
which, for the sake of the cause, ought to
oe shaken off, For the sake of the cause,
we say--nay, for the sake of their own

HUNTER vs.. LINCOLN The difference

both but as to who and in what manner
ii sha.! be done. Both palties evidently

choose that any of his >uborditatcs sli"'l

he clIirns as his own. We do not thin
that the Constitution gives any more right
to Mr. Lincoln to interfere with the per
soma rights Of individuals, or the insli;a
,ions o: the several States. than to Gen
Hunter. Mr. Lincoln is as much bouna
10y the Constitution, (ihc supreme law OF
the land } as any other citizen. and has
no more right to tramplc upon its express
provisions than the mcancst man amor &
