the professional blackguard, is "big
chief" in the Abolition camp. He is des-
titutc of principle and gratitude, and on.
ly remarkable for his excessive profanity
and vulgarity-qualities which have rec
ommeDded him to the favor of the Ad.
ministration party. He is one Of President
Lincoln's pets, and has received lucra'
tive appointment from that discriminat.
ing functionary, who has happy facul.
ty Of showering favors upon the scrvilc
and fawning. To show what were his
opinions of Lincoln and Hamlin three
years ago, before they had patronage to
bestow, we quote the following from a
prospectus Of his paper issued June 80,
1860:
"The Black Republicans, after stormy
session and much abuse of each other
have, in the midst Of liquor and much
hard swearing, nominated Abe Lincoln

ABOLITION VIRrUEs.-The educated and
polished Abolitionists are introducing
their high toned morality into Washing
ton. They want to show the "poor white
trash of the South" the superiority of
their breeding. The Washington Star, a
few weeks ago, contained the following:
Yesterday, after the conclusion Of the
races, two officers, of the rank Of captain,
in company with two 'fair but frail' wo-
men, who were there, returned to the city
in an open carriage, and stopped near the
corner of Second street East and A North,
where they made disgraceful exhibition
of themselves by hugging and kissing
each other. in full sight Of a regiment,
which was on dress parade"
The mountain Democrat., 1863-12-19

FAITHFUL PoRTRA1r-The following
passage from Burke is striking portrait
of thousands of howlers, who are careful
enough to keep their own bodies out Of
the reach Of harm. Every Abolition ed
itor in this State is "bloated with pride
and arrogance, and calling for battles
which he" could not be kicked to fight
They urge others to volunteer and want
the war continued, but lack the courage
and patriotism to take the field in person.
Burke said:
II can conceive no existence under
heaven that is more truly odious and dis
gusting than an impotent, helpless crea.
ture, without civil wisdom or military
skill, without consciousness of any other
qualification for power than his servility
to it, bloated with pride and arrogance,
and calling for battles which he is not to
fight"
The mountain Democrat., 1863-12-19

MORE VLLAINY.-The longer the war
continues the more bold and infamous
the corruption connected with it. Why,
the very men selected to dispense the
peoples charities to the soldiers in the
hospitals steal like professional thieves.
The Abolition party seems to be made up
of swindlers and robbers. The State
agents of Pennsylvania and Michigan,
Williamson and Bloss, both prominant
Abolitionists, were recently arrested in
Washington for stealing old linen from
the hospitals and selling it to paper ma,
kers. They probably thought if Gamer,
on could steal millions and escape pun
ishment and maintain his standing in the
party, they could steal with impunity on
a small scale. The war is enriching the
leaders of the Abolition party and i'm
poverishing the country, and the longer
it continues the worse will it prove to the
people.

PENNSYLVANIA ELEcTIoN.-In Pennsyl-
vania, says the Pittsburg Post, white
voters were driven away from the polls
and deprived of their votes, by soldiers
from other States. The gross Abolition
frauds, we hope, will be thoroughly in
vestigated. In the first ward of Pitts
burg, 1T votes were pOlled for Judge
Woodward, but the black judges of cleo
ton returned only II. This is only a
specimen. In many precincts in different
counties the Abolitionists polled more
votes than there are residents, and SOL
diers from Ohio and Indiana were allowed
to vote, and when challenged threatened
to shoot the challenger. Fraud did big
days work for shoddy on election day in
Pennsylvania. ......--... ..s

REESE RrrR IrENs.-The following We

REESE Rr'rR ITEMs.-The following We
clip from the Reese River Reveille:
OLD COLONY LEDGE.-The Old Colony
location is q few hundred feet east of the
Morgan & Muncey, and is thought by
some to be on the same led ge as that
claim. The ledge was followed down 10y
an incline about forty feet, when it was
lost. A drift is now being run in a
northerly direction, which it is expected
will strike the ledge again in short dis
tance.
NORTH STAR.-The improvements be-
ing make about the incline on this ledge
have now been finished sufficiently to
permit the resumption of work on the
ledge, and rock is now being rapidly ex-
tracted. A good track has been laid, a
substantial car been purchased, and the
hosting is now by means Of whim-
quite an Improvement on the old wind.
lass. The ore being extracted is of a
hard, white formation, and some oft will
soon be crushed.
FRANCIS MARloY.--This ledge is Situa
ted on the point of the hill Just in the
rear Of the Oregon mill A shaft has
been sunk to the depth of twenty feet,
from the bottom of which, drift is be-
ing run east on the ledge. Some rich
looking rock has been taken out, and the
owners think that they have as good a
ledge as their neighbor the Champion
There are eight hundred feet in location.
Work is being vigorously prosecuted.
EMMA FUNSTON. This ledge is situated
on the south side of Lander hill. An in
cline is now down upon it tabout thirty
feet, and it is being energetically pushed
forward. The quantity of the rock taken
out has been sufficiently tested by re-
cent crushing at the Fountain mill, when
it yielded S2,700 to the ton. The ledge
pitches at good angle, but like most Of
the others in that vicinity at that depth
is irregular, varying in width from few
inches to one and two feet. 1t runs d.
rectly into the hill however, is well de-
fined, and will no doubt soon lead into
regular and wide ledge. 1t will require
however only few tons of rock which
pays $2,700, to make very comfortable
sized pile of the filthy lucre.
CHANPIoN.-This ledge is situated on
the north side of the hiu short distance
south of the Oregon mill. 1t was discov-
cred last April, when location of ! 200
feet was made. The ledge has been strip
ped on the surface for about twenty feet,
and at the foot of the hill a tunnel has
been run, striking the ledge in distance
of forty-fve feet. The ledge pitches al q
good angle and varies in width from six
inches to two feet The rock has not vet
been sufficiently tested, but it has the ap
pearance Of, and is generally thought to
be rich. When burned it exhibits con.
siderable quantity of the pure metal.-A
ton Of the ore was sent to Brady's mill
yesterday to be crushed.

terday crushing rock. The music of the
crushing stamps is the sweetest that can
be heard in mining camp. Keep it up.
RIcH.-We were yesterday shown a
small piece Of rock from the Diadem ledge
which had been burned in q forge. II
showed silver in considerable quantities.

LEGIsLATIvF.-Hittell, disciple Of old
John Brown and Fred. Douglass, has in.
troduced ultra radicAl resolutions in the
Assembly. With bewitching modesty,
becoming in statesman Of his capacity
and experience and high reputation, he
denounces the "accursed doctrines oil
States Rights"-doctrines which received
the cordial support Of Chief Justice Mar
shall, Jefferson, Madison and every distin.
guished statesman Of our country, with,
out single exception. Hittell is dead
against them" and IS going to fuse 'em
up" He is a great man, knows it all,
and intends to convince the people that
Jefferson and Marshall were Indifferent
statesmen, if not humbugs. He'll do it !
Hittell is splendid example Of the truth
Of the old saying, that fools rush in
where angels fear to tread" Hittell,
hadn't you better introduce another set
of resolutions to "teach Eternal Wisdom
how to rule"2 You have impudence
enough for anything.
A bill has passed the Senate fixing the
compensation Of the Supervisors Of Ell Do
RADIO county; and Hon. A. G. Henry has
introduced "a bill for an Act to repeal an
Act to provide special fund for the con-
struction Of the State Capitol in the city
of Sacramento"

of citizens have Joined the army. 1t is

TIE Abolitionists used to publish pict-
ures of negro slaves in chains, aud
went mad over the enormity of such op-
pressions. Now, they seize white men,
hapdcuF them, and rtrnorselcssly drag
them from their families, and march them
off to the battlefield, to immolate them
upon the bloody alters Of fanaticism. If,
driven to despair, one Of these victims
flies back to the bosom Of his home, he is
instantly rckidnnnpped and shot.

VILLAINY FLoURIsHEs.-The Republi-
cans promised to "clean out" the corrup-
ton in Washington when they came in
to power, and to bring back the Govern
ment to 1.-THE purity of the early fathers" |"
They passed resolution to that effect in
the Chicago Convention, and all their or
gans and spouters promised to live up to
it. How have they kept it We are
told by the Springfield Republican-high
Abolition authority-that knavery never
before f1ourished as it does at the pres
ent time in Washington. 1t prospers in
high places as well as low, ard those who
steal the most are the most respected,
confded in and honored. Those who
boast of their "loyalty" are the greatest
scoundrels, but their loyalty saves them
from punishment. Members Of the Cab
met are accused of giving oct fat con-
tracts and sharing in the profits. Cor.
ruption flourishes and villainy reigns tri-
umphant in Washington, protected by
the honest gentlemen who administer the
