At the Washington Hotel, Diamond Springs, on
Monday, the 23d inst, at 81 O'Clock P. NJ, Of
Pyema, Joseph l.. Deadly, in the forty fourth year
Of his age.
The subject Of this notice has been a resident Of
this place since 1852, having been, during the
of the Eureka Canal e ..,s.I' i .-T,,F9.E1
Ditch agent. By his quiet, dignihed aud Gno6
trusve department, he succeeded completely In
gaining the confidence and esteem Of all who were
brought in contact with him, either in private
or public capacity. The predominant element oil
his character, which gave peculiar coIoTlng 70
every feature Of his mind, jealous regard for
his honor. This shone forth from the very depths
of his soul and illuminated his whole chaFacter.-
His DEATH though not unex pected has cast gloom
over the whole community. During the hrst ie"
days of his Illness his friends attered themselves
with the hope that the firm and indomltable spirit
which seemed to animate him IN his struggles
with the disease which was preying upon his sys-
ten and consuming his strength, would nnaily
prove victorious. But several days before Nj hSA
| death, all hopes Of his recovery vanished. HIS
| high Spirit WAS at last forced to submit. !" The
worthless tenement Of clay was too feeble for the
| struggling Of its immortal guest" His body has
Oeen consigned 10 the Silent Out iNnhseA
tai spirit has taken its fight " to that undscover
| ed country from whose bourne no traveller re-
| turns" there to rest in the bosom o. his Father
| and his God.
Our friend has been cut down in the meridian OF
| life, "a sad victim Of destiny, a destiny as dark
and irresistible as that which broods over the mys-
tic legends Of antiquity" 1t is not easy to con
template his fate without feelings Of compassion,
to see him, like stately tree, the pride Of the
forest, towering in its majesty above its fellows, by
its very eminence inviting the attack Of the thun
| dcrbolt and falling victim to the first tempest
| which sweeps over the hills. Whilst his friends
| lament his death and em6alm his memory in thcli
affections, they console themselves with the
reflection that he has left behind him monument
| more lasting than brass or n,arble-a pure and
| spoiless uame-a name not linked with ono dis
| honorable transaction.
:" lie so lived, that when his summons came to joir
| The innumeLsble caravan, which moves
| To that nv sterious realm, where each shall take
| His chamber in the silent halls Of death,
| He went not like the galley slave at night,
Scourged to his dungeon but sustained and Scothet
| By an unfaltering trust, approaches his grave
| Like one who wraps the dTapery of his couch
| About him, and lies dewn to pleasant dreams

FIRST PRNcIPLEs.-Garret Davis, of
Kentucky, stated in the Senate few days
before its adjournment, that if the Presi-
dent would entrust James Guthrie with
the conduct Of the war in the Mississippi
Valley, the troops of the West would con-
qucr to the Gulf within three months
Richardson, of Illinois, on the same occa-
sion, said that the Southwest would take
that much of the war by contract if the
Administration would return to the princi.-
Piles with which Congress set out in the
beginning Of the war. Wade, of Ohio,
sneeringy replied, that "the principles
with which Congress set out in the be-
ginning were played out ;" The Re-
publican party will never permit the old
Union to be restored-it must be
Union without slavery, or no Union at
all.

Little Remarkable.


The Abolition papers are publishing,
with more zeal than prudence, a number
of resolutions adopted by Abolition Off
GERS of the army, indOrsing Mr.. Lincoln's
proclamation of emancipation and eulo-
gizing him and his Cabinet! 1t is lit
tie remarkable that in not a solitary in
stance has a private soldier offered reso-
lutions or taken part in the meetings.
They must either be opposed to such res
olutions or are deemed unworthy of con-
sulting by their officers. Their existence
is entirely ignored-thcir sentiments mis-
represented. Officers write resolutions,
have them read at dress parade and pub
lshed with their names appended. They
60 forth and minions Of the Administra-
ton direct attention to them as the ex-
preSia2 pf the sentiments Of a company
or regiment, without either being al
lowed to discuss or Oppose ssssseSA. 4
! COlOners order is law to his regiment-a
private soldier dare not question or op-
pose it; he must tamely submit or be
treated as a mutineer. Blind obedience
is expected and enforced. Privates have
no rights. They are, as Gen. Wool told
them, "mere machines"
1t is gratifying to some men to see
their names in print, and these gallant
officers can crafty their vanity, manifest
their gratirAde aud subservc their inter-
ests at the same time by adopting reeolu-
tons indorsing the emancipation procla-
nation of the President and laudatory OF
its brilliant author. Itis q safe and may
be a profitable trick. They we're appointed
by the President and desire him to pro-
mote them, and they know by experience
that he is easily moved by hattery. The
thicker the better and the more greedily
swallowed and the more likely to bring
the longed-for promotion. Merit or Qualifi-
cation never enters into the Presidents
calculation-favors are bestowed upon
the trickster and parasite. This explains
the reason why some officers of the army
have written and had published, with
their names attached, resolutions eulo-
CYSTIC of Lincoln and his policy. 1t
would look little better, little more
honest and disinterested, and might car
ry some weight with it, if officers would
allow the privatcs to have hand in get
ting up and adopting resolutions 1t is
selfish in those in command to monopo-
lizc not alone all the glory OF the war
but the profit likewise. 1t speaks well
for their vanity and prudence, but not
for their patriotism or magnanimity. Let
the Abolition organs hint to the officers
to get the privates to draft and pass rcso-
lutions, and not to do all the laudatory
themselves.

WoN'T ENLISr.-It is stated, on au-
thority, that the greatest apathy exists
among the free American citizens of
African descent" in the District Of Co.
lumbia, on the subject Of enlisting in the
black regiments. They almost univer-
sally declare thatif the white soldiers
can't whip the rebels, it is of no use for
the negroes to try. Besides, say they,
if they should do what the white soldiers
failed to do, it would show the superior
ity of the black race, and might breed
disaffcction and jealousy in the army.
They have been emancipated by procla-
nation, and they can't see the necessity
of fighting for that which they already
possess.

ANOTHER PATRIOT GONE !-Suddenly,
Unexpectedly, mysteriously and noise
lcssly, few days ago, disappeared the
brave, patriotic, incorruptblc Vim, the
Assistant Sergeant Arms Of the Assem-
bly,. I" We feel to sympathize" with our
patriotic Union-savers, who have lost one
of their most cstimable chums-one of
their brightest champions. Their chief
the man whom they delighted to honor,
especially on account Of his deep-seated
and relentless hostility to the South, the
man who participated in little less than
hundred battles and was mortally
wounded in all of them, who pledged
"hiS life, his fortune and his sacred
honor"-all three valuable-to stand by
the Union party until hot place way
down below froze over, who ungratefully
victimized our large-hcarted, easily hum
bugsed friend Weeks" got up and dust,
cd" the other day, without taking time
to bid his sorrowing party friends an af-
fectionatc farewell. Don't weep, Collins,
there is only one rascal the less in your
party i'll this State. Make another speech
to prove how immaculate your party is,
and then point to your illustrious friends
Watrous and Winn. But, Collins, don't
be rash ! Ere your eulogistic speech
could be circulated another " viIIainous
scamp" of your party might "turn up
missing" and thus practically demon
strate how excessively verdant or men.

EXPosURE.--Thc Sacramento CEion
published, some days ago, resolutions
adopted by army officers at MurlreesboI o,
denouncing the course Of the Democratic
Legislature Of Indiana. 1t was stated,
with a grand flourish, That the ",cSolu-
tions were drawn by Coils. Hunter and
Gooding, both prominent Democrats. "
The indianapolis Sentinel, the organ of
the gallant Democracy of Indiana, has
most triumphantly exposed the falSehood.
1t has ventilated the two ColonclS, and
nailed the bliStering falsehood on their
forchcads. The editor Of the Sentinel is
well acquainted with both Hunter and
Gooding, and says they are and have
been for years violent Abolitionists-Ab-
olitionists of the Jim Lane and John
Brown school. They have always been
most vindictive and determined Oppo-
nents of the Democratic party, and at
the last Presidential election worked
zealously for Lincoln.

Nor TIRED OF THE WAR.--The' Union,
Bee and other Abolition sheets, indig-
nantly deny that the soldiers arc tired OF
the war. According to their statements
the soldiers want the war continued and
will be sorry when the time expires for
which they volunteered. One little fact,
from a good and reliable Republican
source, completely disprovcs these lying
statements. The New Orleans cores
pondent of the Boston journal says,
Gen. Banks lately proposed to the Mas
sachusetts 47th, nine months regiment,
to enlist for the war and be converted
into cavalry. This was rejected, and so
was the proposition to ore-enlist as infantry
with large bountics. The same PROPOSE
ton was made to other regiments, but all
to nopurpose !"

Reaction.

The Sacramento Union is endcavoring
to make its readers believe that great
reaction in favor Of Lincoln's Administra-
ton has taken place in the Atlantic
States. Ii is daily filled with such false
hoods, knowing them to be such. The
recent elections in New Hampshire and
New York are conclusive on this point
Aside from its appointees, contractors,
spies and hirefogs, the ADMINISTRATION is
without supporters in the Eastern States.
Merchants, farmers, mechanics, laboring
men, are all decidedly opposed to it.
Considering the circumstances the Ad-
ministration party hardly made a re-
spectacle showing in New Hampshire.
1t had all the influence and immense pat
ronage Of the State and National Admin
istratto0s itS friends filled nearly all the
county offices; Federal agents and spies
and army contractors and military off,
GERS, seeking promotion, spent thSiS i5sao
and money in electioneering against the
Democratic nominees Brigadicr Gener-
ais and military Governors, supported at
the public expense, Phelps and "w worth
less Jack Hamilton" to use Gen. Hous-
tons appropriate language, were sent by
Lincoln to New Hampshire to intimidate
or seduce the people. But all would not
do. The failure was complete and hu-
miliating-thc rebuke deserved and
scorching. Well may Democrats be
proud Of triumph achieved under such
inausnicious circumstances. \ more for
midable combination-a combination of
Federal, State, county and town officials,
of army contractors, swindlers, penSioned
agents, spies, apostatc Democrats, ne
groes and a subsidel preSs--no party
ever contcnded against and in spite of
the tremendous odds arrayed against
them, the Democracy, relying on the vir-
tue and intelligence and patriotism Of the
people, entered the contest and routed
the Abolition traitors. So much for New
Hampshire.
In the New York Town elections, re-
Gently held, the Democrats swept the
State, and the Buffalo Express dolc(ully
remarks, that if State election were TO
,o,,,o n 20 ,,,orroy, tho nornocrotc uoulI
carry it by a majority Of one hundred
thousand. Counties that went strongly
against Seymour in November, at the
late election went Democratic. The Al
bany Argus is filled with the election re-
turns, and the Democratic gains are nu-
merouS-the losses none. The Utica OBJ
server says it is worthy Of remark that
returned soldiers took an active part in
the election and almost to man voted
the Democratic ticket Abolitionism has
had its day; it has bankrupted the coun-
try and desolatcd the land. 1t has
placed the negro above the white man,
legislatcd exclusively for his benefit, and
when censurcd for doing so, has unwar-
rantably, arrogantly and ruthlcssly ar
rested and imprisoned the ccnsurer.
This has aroused the just Indignation of
white men, and ali who have free blood
coursing through their veins and are en-
dowed with manly spirit, are arraying
themselves in determined and unchanging
hostility to the Administrations Abolition
party.
