Thomas Jefferson ON Arbitrary
ArreSfs.

In the draft of instructions for the Virginia
delegates to the first revolutionary Congress, j,
drawn up by Thomas Jefferson, we find, IN BIS
detail of guidance, his indignation thus vigor-
ously expressed: y - So,
'sThe wretched criminal, if he happens to.
have offended on the American side, stripped
of his privilege of trial by peers of his vihcin-:
age. removed from the place where alone full
evidence could be obtained, without money
without counsel, without friends, without ex-
culpatory proof, is tried here before Judge pre-
determined to coademn. The coward who
could suffer a countryman to be torn from their
society, in order to be thus offered sacrifice to-
Parliamentary tyranny, would merit that ever
lasting infamy now fixed on the authors Of tho
act"

PacIfic aEiniug.

A San Fracisco paper of Sept 18th says: !,
aThe receipts OF treasure from the mining,
this amount came from the North Coast mines
in Oregon, Washington Territory, Idaho and
Cariboo. The latter are turning out large sums;
about $500, 600 from thence was deposited in
the Branch Mint in this city, "a few days since.
by three miners, and had been taken out of
their claims in surprisingly short period
108 pounds in single day. Thedeposits atthe
Mint during she period under review have
been about 500, 000-more than three.quar-
sers of the amount within thrle days after the
arrival of the North Coast steamer. A vary
large portion of the receipts from that dirsc-
ton come in the hands of passengers"

The PositIon Of Rosecrans.

Lookout Mountain, aud extending from the

badly crippled we infer from the fsct that he
has taken position on the highest point Of the
Ridge several miles southwest of the roads
leading to Chattanooga His object probably is
to marshal his entirc hosts along the Tennessee,
on this Ridge for decisive con dict, or he may
be manoevering to turn our left in the direction
of Rome or Lafayette.

A YEAR AGO.
BIZ EDWARD s. ELLIS.

Day softly now is fading,
And natures voice low dies;
The quiet air is laden
With autumn's perfumed sighs;
And at this hour of evening,
When heavens zephyrs aow,
I'm full of mournful musings
Of but one year ago.
A year ago twas only, A..x.-5 49,
MY heart with JOY was light
But now I'm sad and lonely,
And day within is night;
For then she stood beside me,
, And both of ms were one;
But she is taken from me,
And am left alone.
Though Joined, soon rudeiy parted,
By cruel deaths cold hand
And ene doth, broken hearted,
Sigh for that distant land; SKIS
And at this hour of evening.
When heavens zephyrs flow,
I'm full of mournful musings
Oe but one year ago.

No one can tell who the heroes are and whothe
cowards until some crisis comes to put us TO the
test And no crisis puts US to the test that does
not bring us up alone and single-handed to face
danger. II is nothing to make rush with the
multitude even into the jaws Of destruction. Sheep
will do that. Armies might be picked from the
gutter and marched up to be made food for gun
powder. But when some crisis singles out one
from the multitude, pointing at him the particular
finger Of fate and telling him to " Stand or run"
and he faces about with steady nerve, with nobody
else to get behind we may be sure the hero stuff
is in him. When such crisis comes, the true
courage is just as likely to be found in people Of
shrinking nerve, or in weak and timid women, US
in great burly people. 1t is a moral, not physi-
cal trait. Its seat Is not In the temperament, but
the will How courageous Peter was, and oil those
