THE ALABAMA.-The rebel steamer ..29o, y

The ALABAMA-Th rebel steamer ''290. !"
alias Alabama, captured, on the 1th of De-
cember, the steamer Ariel, from New York
for Aspinwall, and after robbing her of
some $1,000 in treasury notes, beionging to
Wells, Fargo s. Co.. and : 1900 belonging to
other persons, she remainedin company two
days, expecting to meet the upward bound
steamer Cham ion, with the specie from San
Francisco. We are informed by passengers
who arrived here, that the Alabama compell-
ed the officers Of the Ariel to put out their
lights at night, so that if they met the Cham
pion she would not change her course, and
thus run under the guns of the pirate without
suspecting any danger. After cutting away
and throwing overheard the sails of the Ariel,
she was liberated by giving bond for $3.50.
900, payable to the Confederate Government
thirty days after its independence shall have
been acknowledged. when she proceeded on
her way, and landed her passengers ut As
pinwal, as usual.
4 parallel case occurred to Wells, Fargo
& Co by the robbery of the stage, near Chi
%. two years ago. The robbers then took
about ten thousand d,llars. and permitted
the stage to proceed with her passengers to
Marysvil.e. 1t seems that Wells, Fargo &
Co. are good picking, both by sea and land,
for the outlaws of the country but as yet the
Land robbers have made mnch better strikes
than the piratical craft that is now securing
the Atlantic in pursuit of her unlawful traffic
Her pursuit is in perfect keeping with the
other acts of the negro chivalry, and will
sooner or later meet with her inst reward for
the crimes perpetrated.

TRUMAN HEAD.-This hero, late one of
Berdan's Sharpshooters, and known through
the country as 9 California Joe, has return
ed from the wars, ard again taken up his
residence in this county. He has been hon
orably discharged, npon the recommendation
of his surgeon, on account of the failure of
his eye sight, produced from the constant use
of globe and telescope sights on his rifle
lie has with him the rifle struck by rebel
bullet, shivering the breech, and it is fit
ting mcmento of his bravery and skill, dis
played in this war. lie has made national
reputation that will live in the history of the
times. We welcome him back, and hope he
will have the pleasure of living to see this
cursed rebellion put down, and It's leaders
hung high up between the heavens and the

chine of GROVER & BAKER has been awarded
the FIRST PREMIUM over all competitors This
accordance with the almost unanimous ex-
preston of opinion of the ladies of California.
with whom these celebrated Sewing Machines
have become first among their household
treasures, and to obtain which is to satisfy
their greatest desire. In former times, Spring
and Fall were unwelcome visitors to many
wives on who IN devolved the care of clothing
for the little ones !; it was no slight duty to
cut, fit and make the clothing as we'll as at
tend to the general sewing of their families.
and it is not to be ,ndered at that the ad-
happily. there is a change for the better. and
with . Grover & Baker Sewing Machine
more work can he accomplished in Il few hours
~ with less fatigue. than could have been
d,ne in a day iy hand sewing. From the
many machines now held before the public
for approval. none have sustained so cnvia-
bic a reputation as the" Grover & Baker
lis simplicity places it within use of even chill
dren, and its capacity exGels all others. The
untirins energy of this firm has been product.
i've of many and rapid improvements, and
there is now no branch or style of sewing
known to the business, either practical or or
namental, to which the s. Grover & Baker"
Machine and its improvements cannot be ap-
piled. Their Corders. Braiders, fuckers,
&c, are miracles of perfection in operation,
and the embroidery of their machines is more
popular and beautiful than any other style
of ornamental sewing. They have lately in
troduced new machine, making the Shuttle
Stitch, or stitch alike on both sides, which
will commend itself to all who prefer stitch
of this style. To those u acquainted with
the merits of either stitch, they offer special
inducements, in the fact that any purchaser
has the privilege of exchanging the Machine
of their first choice for one making either
stitch. if not suited We say to all ladies,
buy % Grover & Baker" Sewing Machine,
and make home happy and your labors light.

A SuRPLUS.-The Federal Taxes, levied by
this State, are reported to be largely in excess.
The States quota was about $3.50 200, and 1t
was devided, to pay it by poll and property
tax, the base of the poll tax being S44. 600
the same as last year-and the property val
uation 500. 100000. Instead of that, u.s..
600 poll tax receipts have been issued, at
s2. 90 each, making $3.50, 900, and the amount
of property tax is on $50, ,0oo, 900, making a
total of $50, 900 taxes received The ques-
ton is what TO do with the surplus, SOU, 600.
Its disposition rests with the Legislature.

A WORD TO CONSERVATIVES wohl
say to the conservative" anti -cao
Democracy of this county, that if tHI y
any doubts about the rebels using negroes
to fight their battles, if they will take the
trouble to inquire of a person just returned
from the army in the field, he--will convince
them of the fact, from his personal observa-
ton. lie will also inform them of the polit
ical feeling of the great mass of the
army as to how this war is to be brought te
an end, and what measures will have toe
used in quieting the rebellion. He stIes
that the whole army are united, aud red y
to- strike the fatal blow, if placed under cin..
petent leaders After the sacrifices ~
been made. there is bnt one way to end be
war, and that is to strike at slavery, the
" corner. stone" of the Confederacv, and
when that is removed, then peace will he
restored to the country, and every loyal citi-
zen, wherever he may be, will be protected
in his constitutional rights, and union and
friendship again be- the happy lot of this
great people. But before removing the death
ulcer from the body polite, you must COM
mence healing from the bottom of the cause
of the difficulty, and if that won't do, the en-
tire limb must be cut off.
