The seventeen counties already heard
from officially, comprise more than half the
voting population ofthe State. If the Dem
ocrats gain in the remaing counties at the
same rate as they have in these seventeen,
they will loose the State by some $4,000.
We apprehend. however, that the majority
against them will be not more than 5000
OF 10000, as the unofficial returns from
many counties point to such a result.

cially Men talk and brag but little, for
there is scarcely dollar in circulation to
boast Of yet all are sangune in the belief
that spring will bring more prosperous time
It is here rs it WAS in Gold Hill and Vr

on borrowed capital, and nearly all the bul
lion shipped for coinage remains Oh your

scarce that IA double eagle will bring bat

ed grub" payment. Canse, empty pockets.
Sales Of mining ground are frequent, but
bids are few, small and far between. There
is a general depression in business of all
kinds. In the saloons men gaze with a
melancholy wisltnlness at the bar, but turn
at last to the contemplation of their linan
ces, and weaken. A man with capital might
do well here at the present time, and would
have numerous fiiends-providel he were

Inheritance of political liberty bequeathed
to us, and save our benefcient Constitution
from the ravshing hand of military despot-
ism. We are therefore for peace-peace,
because it will give to the Union the life
blood of constitutional liberty, without
which the Union must become a consoda'
ted despotism-peace, because it is required
to save the poor from the sutferings of
poverty and the temptation to crme-peace,
because it is in consonance with the inter

The FIRST SAW MILL. The old prac
tice, in making boards, was to split up the
logs with wedges, and, inconvenient as the
practice was, it was no easy matter to per-
suade the world that the thing could be
done in any better way. Saw mills were
first used in Europe in the fifteenth century;
but AS lately as !555, an English Ambassa
dor having seen a saw mill in france,
thought it a novelty which deserved par
ticular description. 1t is amusing to see
how the aversion to labor saving mach inery
has always agitated England. The first saw
mill was established by Dutchman, in 1868,
but the public outcry against the new fam
gled machine was 50 violent that the pro
prietor was forced to decamp with more
haste than ever did Dutchman before. The
evil was thus kept out of England for sew
era years, or IA her generations; but IN
1898, an unlucky timber merchant, hoping
that, after SO long time, the public would
be less watchful for its interests, made Il
rash attempt to construct another mill. The
guardians Of the public welfare, however,
were on the alert, and conscientious mob
at once collected and pulled the mill to
pieces.

In Gsr.-Barstow, the Republican
Speaker, in returning thanks "for the honor
conferred" thus delivered himself:
"War, therefore, war vigorously prosecuted,
war on the most Formidable scale, war that
knows no such word as fail, war with the
world, if it must be so, is that alone on which
our national existence now depends"
We admire patriotism and pluck and
Barstow has both in an immense degree, but
he has selected a poor place to exhibit the
latter quality to advantage. A gentleman
so furious for war ought to prove his sincerl'
ty on the tented tield-the Union ''needs
soldiers"-not retreat to a place of safety
and security and there spout about it.
Beecher and Cheever and others of that ilk
are great war advocates, but no inducement
can get them to share its hardships and
dangers. We must not be understood as
questioning the pluck of any of them, still
it strikes us if they would practice what they
preach they would exhibit more of the man
and less of The braggart
Mountain Democrat.

ABOLITION LECrURERs.- following is
an extract from late letter Of the New
York correspondent Of the Morning Call.
We make it, not because it contains anything
new, but that it makes some honest admisl
sions, which are not often heard of late. The
writer speaking of Abolition Lecturers says;
So little has been heard lateI of these
gentlemen that we fancied the tribe almost
extinct or possibly had just begun to suspect
that they had done talking enough; but this
was giving them too much credit. Any
quantity of the old familiar names are again
in the field, now that the lecturing season
has commenced, and are ready to spout away
quite careless of the mischief they have al
ready accomplished, and apparently uncon
cous of the stern necessities of the times,
which makes mere words seem mockery.
Right or wrong, there is no doubt that it is
to the efforts of such men as Garrison, Phil
ipps, Cheever, Sumner, Foster, Beecher, and
others, together with the corresponding ex'
tremsts on the other side, that we owe our
present deplorable condition, and while
Toombs & Co. have had the grace and the
courage to show fight. the busterers at the
North either keep dark or resort to their old
trade of talking. 1t is really curious cir
cumstance, and ought to strike shame to the
hearts of their followers and eulogsts, that
not single name among those who were
most prominent at the many Anti-Slavery
anniversaries, or known as the most violent
of Abolition lecturers, has ever been heard
of in battle, or as having raised regiment
or in any way shown a disposition to defend
the county, and the institutions they have
endanceret!; and for these gentry to try to
lecture upon the war, when thousands OF brave
men are risking their lives on the field OF
battle, ought to excite only disdain and con-
tempt

From the st. Louis Republican,
Abolltionism and the Admjnistration


The Aboitionsm press of the North and
the members of Congress who represent
that intensified feeling Of hatred to the South,
begin to show signs Of deliberate war up'
on the Administration, If Mr.. Lincoln should
persist IN his purpose Of making the restor
alton OF the Union under the Constitution
the chief object of all his efforts. The
country knows that the Abolition party are
now as they have always been, just as soli-
ctous for dissolution of the Union as the
most ultra politician of the South. They
have shown 1t in every way-in speeches in
Congress, in still worse harangues from the
pulpi in their party press, and in the zeal
which they have exhibited in deprving men
of their property when slaves have made
their escape into the free States; and now
they are attempting to bully the President
into the adoption Of their favorie scheme,
Of converting this war in a means of brng'
ing about the emancipation Of four million
of slaves and Of making them the equals Of
the white man. Mr.. Cameron went as far
as man could 90, when he resisted the
demand of the President SO as to modify his
report as to relieve it of this pestiIent and
internal proposition; and before this was done
the Influence Of Congress was attempted to
be brought to bear upon the President in the
sIai Of resolutions, all having this single
object in view. But the President stood
firm. He saw clearly, we may conclude,
that if he gave way to the delusion that the
war must be prosecuted for the emancipa-
ton of all the slaves in the Union, Kentucky,
Missouri, Maryland and Delaware, would ia
evitably be lost to the Confederacy. He
saw, too, that all hope Of an honest and
earnest union of the people in carrying on
the war would be abandoned, that scarcely
a State could be relied on to do its reasona
bic duty; that the ability Of the Govern
ment to procure money to meet its immense
expenditures, must be destroyed; that the
Democracy Of Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, New
York and Pennsylvania and indeed of all
the other States, would avow their resou'
ton not to take part in any such war; and
that as consequence of such resolution the
army would become hopeessy demoralzed
and useless; for every one knows that, great
as it is, it contains a large majority of DEM
Gratis, who are fighting for the Union under
the Constitution, and not for negro emancil
patton. Bat the dark day has passed. Mr..
Lincoln stood firm when the devils of the
Abolition party made their iercest attack
upon him; and if they shoul! now, in Con-
gress and through the Abolition press, make
war upon him, he will find his best friends
and chief supporters in the Democratic par
tv and the conservative men of the coun.
try. TO them he has not appealed in vain
for men to fight the battles for the Union,
and he may rely ON them for support when'
ever the Constitution is a>sailed 10y the Abo
huon party.
