THAT ADDRESS.

There has been some discussion OF late
about an address issued by the Democratic
Members Of Congress for The reconstruction
of the Democratic party. We saw the doc
ument for the frat time yesterday, publish
ed in the MarysvilIe Express. 1t Is sigusd
by fourteen Members of Con yress, among
whom is Col Richardson of Illinois, who is
said to be the author. Some Of the Repub-
lican papers of this State have been de-
nouncing Senators Latham and McDougall
az ameng the sigoers, but their names are
not attached TO it, and they probably had
no part in getting it up. The address does
not seem TO have created very marked
sensation ia the political world, and it is
quite certain that the Democracy OF the
loyal States will never approve of many OF
its sentiments. 1t contains so many un-
truthful assertions, that we are forced to
the conclusion it was merely intended to
misead and deceive the ignorant and uDre-
aecting For instance, it is boldly asserted,
that while the Democratic party was in
power, the Government successfully prose-
cuted two foreign wars without the suspen'
sion of the habeas corpus. This OF course
refers to the last war with Great Britain
and the Mexican war, the first of which was
mostly conducted on the ocean, and The
second entirely in the enemy's country.
Now every person who has read the history
of the United States must be aware that The
writ of habeas corpus has been suspended
time and again, by Federal and State OFF,
GERS. In all cases of invasion and insurrec-
ton, the writ has been suspended whenever
it was deemed necessary by the President,
by commanding Generals, by Governors OF
States and Mayors of cities. When the
British invaded Louisiana, Jackson, who
commanded in the Southwest, proclaimed
martial law, took into custody hundreds ol
suspected traitors, among whom was Uni-
ted States Judge, and ruled New Orleans as
firmly as Butler is rUhng it to-day. The
habeas corpus has been suspended on many
other occasions in our history; aud If the
writ has been disregarded Oftener during
the present rebellion than ever before, it is
because the public danger is greater.
We are not of those who believe it desi-
rable or possible to abolish party OrgaBiz-
ations; nor do we think II essential, for The
vigorous prosecution Of the war aud the
suppression of the rebellion, that all should
support the political doctrines OF the party
10 power. But if the Democratic Organi.
cation is to be reconstructed and cOnsolida-
ted, the platform must not be founded on
falsebOOds.

INDIAN OUTRAGEs.-The steamer Panama
arrived on Thursday from Crescent City,
and brings intelligence of Indian outrages
upon the settlers in Humboldt county. On
the evening of the 9th inst, about seventy.
five Indians made an attack upon the hOnsc
OF Mr.. Daby, five miles from Arcata, and
the inmates fed to the woods, and scatter
ed in different directions as their only
chance of escape Mrs. DAnskin, the moth.
er of Mrs. Daby was killed, and French
man named Met had not been found, and
is suppose to be dead. Mr.. Daby, though
wounded, reached Arcata the next morn
ing, and a party Immediately started out.
About two O'Clock in the afternoon they
met Mrs. Daby, badly wounded in one arm.
and with tAe other bearing her infant. She
had secreted her ether two children and
thoy were afterwards found. Two soldiers
and an Indian boy who were at the house
when the attack was made we're also woun.
ded, and a little boy named George Dams
kin was taken prisoner by the savages
When Mrs. Daby fell wounded, the Indians
told her they intended to take the lad with
them, but did not wish TO. kill her or her
children. Finding that Mr.. Ddby and
the soldiers had escaped. the Indians re-
turned robbed the premises and set fire tC
the buildings. About nine O'Clock The
Rext morning, a portion Of the same gang
attacked the house of Mr.. Muhlburg, who
escaped with his wife. and after bHrninG
his house Ihe savages took to the noun
taius. Several other Outrages were perpe
trated, and the citizens of Eureka held (
meeting aud resolved to make another ap
peal TO Gen. Wright for protection.

OptetN or THE WESTERN PRA1RfBs'-M.
I.o 1,esouereux, the well-known geologist, who
a, carefully studied the prairies of the Mis-
.i.,ipui valley, ascribes their general formation
TO the agency Of water. He says;
All the prairics still in state Of formation
along the great lakes o!the north are notninH
else but marshes slowly passing 70 dry iano Oy
sIow recession of water. When land Is contln-
ually covered bY low stagnant water, Its only
vegetation Is that of the rushes and Oi the sed-
Qes. When the same land Is alternateit Suo'
subjected to long inundations anu 10 oIyheSS'
during some months OF the year, me S"Ihe
plants continue to cover it. BY their decomp0-
sition these marshv plants produce peculiar
ground, either black, light, peTmeable when II
is mixed with sand, as it is near the borders OF
the lakes, or hard, cold, impermea6le wheh IL
is mixed with clay or muddy alluylum, as Ill
some marshes underlaid by clay or shales, or
along the banks of some rivers. Land contlh-
ually covered with stagnant water cannot pro-
duce any trees, because the trees require ior
their growth, like most of the terrestrial pants
the introduction Of atmospheric air to tneT
roots. Neither do trees germinate and grow on
a ground alternately covered with stagnant wa
ter and exposed to dryness for some months
of the year. From these considerations, the
law of the general formation Of praiTies can be
deduced While land or part Of country is
slowly passing from the state of swamp or
marsh to the state Of dry land, the annual al
ternaton Of stagnant water and dryness causes
vegetation Of peculiar plants, which, by their
decomposition, form peculiar soil unfavora-
BILE to the growth of the trees. From this gen.
eral rule OF formation, which regards only the
prairies Of the Mississippi valley, all the differ
ent phenomena or peculiar appearances OF the
praires can be easily explained.

A QUESTION OF TME.-The Transcript
Of yesterday morning publishes the CORES
pondence between the Chairman OF the Re
publican and Democratic Committees, In
relation to the proposed fusion. After CIV
ing the first letter, which proposes that the
Democratic Committee should join in the
call 10 elect delegates to the Republican
State Convention, the Transcript says:
The abogeIetter was handed to the Chairman
of the Democratic Committee on Saturday, the
3lst ult., some hours before the issue OF the
Democrat of that day in which call was pub
lished calling Democratic COMMITTEE on the
succeeding SatuTday-beyond the day selected
for the proposed joint meeting ofthe Commit
tees.
This statement Is entirely false. The
Democrat containing the call had been prln
ted and circulated oil over town for at least
an honr before the letter was handed to
Mr., Davenport. In fact. Mr.. Potter, The
Secretary of the Republican Committee,
remarked when be handed the letter to Mr..
Davenport, that be had just seen in the
Democrat call for a meeting OF the Dem
Ocratic Committee on the following Satur-
day. Me-. Davenport had no intimation that
such proposition was to be made until af
Ter the call had been made, aud this fact
was we'll known to the Republican Com
mittec, of which the editor of the Trau'
sctipt is Chairman.

A TALE OF SHILOH correspondent ofahe
Chicago Times gives the following history of the
little church which has given its name to the
great battle fought near Pittsburg Landing
"To this little church there is-a history, at
tacheG. 1t was built fifty years ago by Eressch
Huguenot, who, being an enthusiast, and some
thing of an anchorite, left his home and found
ed, in Lower Tennessee, community. OF his
sect, whose influence should in. time extend
over the limits Of the New World, and, in a
manner, defy its progcnitor., He lived in soli-
tude, his humble church being his home, and
the little field beyond the means of his subsis-
tence. With granary filled with corn, and the
rough hewn floor of his church for bed, he was
content to lve-a wonder to his parishiOners, n
seeming marvel of humanity, yet, in truth, a
second Mahomet in his.wild ambitions Of the
future In this way he lived few years, apart
from the world, and to all appearances dead to
its sympathies. Yet in time the flesh prevailed.
He met his destiny in the form of a woman,
and his high intentions went down before the
stronger, inclinations of nature. The little
church became an unlawful trysting-place and
one morning he was found weltering in his
blood the victim of husbands vengeance.
Border blood was quick and reckless, and his
punishment came speedily. For years after
wards the untutored inhabitants looked at the
blood stain which marked the spot where he
fell in superstitious awe, but time washed it out
and the church Of Shiloh again became the
place Of worship. Its destiny was linked with
blood and violence, and it now stands monu-
ment of carnage, the center Of great ceme-
terry, where lie buried nearly 1000 men,"

millions dug in Nevada, coin is so frightfully
scarce among us? Would mint correct this?

DAWN OF PATRIoTIsM IN South AMERI-
CA.-The half-developed designs of France and
other European powers. with regard to Span
ish America, may never be realized, but the
mere prospect of an invasion has been sufficient
to arouse the latent energies Of the people Of
the Spanish American republics, and to inspire
in them some traces Of the warlike and chival-
rous spirit which animated the hidGigOS of an
cient CASTLE. The sentiment Of a common re-
sistance 10 approaching peril seems to have
communicated itself with the suddenness Of an
electric shock to all the States south of Mexi-
co, and in some, if not all Of them, meetings
have been held for the purpose of consulting
measures TO repulse the usurpels who APP
proach them with a crown in one hand
and a sword in the other. At the session
of the Society of the Defenders Of the Indepen-
dence Of America, held at Lima on the l4th OF
last month, resolutions we're passed to promote
a subscription for the purchase of 100000 rifles
to be presented to the first South American
State that shall need them. decentralization
of such a spirit gives promise Of better future
for the southern portion of this continent.

THE FALL OF FORT MACoN-Three or
four months ago such an event as the capture
of Fort Macon, a strong and costly forti6cation
deemed almost impregnable. would have Great
ed thrill of admiration and JOY throughout the
whole country, but now this victory, so fire.
quent and so great have Union victories become
seems scarcely to excite a remark or thought.
We take victories as matters of course, recog-
nizing each, as we hear of it, simply as a step
in the majestic march Of the national power to
complete and speedy restoration of the Union.
President Lincoln said in his Inaugural Ad-
dress, that it would be his policy to "hold, oc-
cupy and possess" the forts of the United States
that had been seized by the rebels. Surely the
world cannot charge that he isn't redeeming
that pledge with prodigious vigor. The rebels
inquired sneeringly what he meant by the
words; probably they will agree that recent
events are very striking and lucid commenta-
ries.-[ Louisville Journal.
