and that no Christian can do anything to
arrest its fall. Everywhere the sentiment
of hostility to slavery is sp-eading-in the
army and among the people. All we have
to do is to be true and firm, infexible, pru-
dent, CAREFUL of word and speech, but as
infiexible as destiny ITSELF (Applause)
we owe it to the country to carry this ma
ton triumphantly out Of this revolution, in
augurated by slavery, and to bring it out a
united and free cOuntry--and by Gods
blessing we will do it. We shall have the
proud consciousness, living or dying, of
knowing that we were ever for and with
our country-for its unity and pe,petuity-
for its republican institutions - for the
rights of human nature, and for the pro-
gress of Christian civilization in the West
ern World. (Applause)

ROMANTIC INCIDENT OF THE WAR;
A few mornings ago Gov. Curtin of Penn
sylvania was called upon at the Continen-
tai Hotel in Philadelphia, by a young lady.
When she was introduced into his parlor,
she expressed great JOY at seeing TIE Gov
ernor, at the same time imprinting kiss
upon his forehead
Madam" said he, " to what am in
debted for this very unexpected saluta-
ton ?'
Sir, do you not know me ?"
"Take a chair" said the Governor, at
the same time extending the handsomest
one in the parlor.
Shortly after the battle of Antietam,
you were upon that bloody field" said she

You did your duty well. Heaven alone
will reward you, sir; for in this life there
is no reward adequately expressive of the
merits due you. You, sir--you impaired
consolation and revived. the hopes Of dy-
ing soilier of the l28h Ohio. He was
badly wounded in the arm, you lifted him
into an ambulance, and the blood dripping
from him stained your hands and clothing.
That soldier was as dear 10 me as life it.

"A lover?"
's'No,- sir"

nor lover, who, then, could it be ?" said
the Governor at length, breaking the ST.
ience. This is an enigma to me. Please
explain more about the gallant soldier of
ONO.
Well, sir, that soldier gave you ring
&C. r. ID. were the letters engraved on
the interior. That is the ring now upon
your little finger. He told you to wear it
and carefully have you done So"
The Governor pulled off the ring, and
sure enough the letters were there.
"The finger that used 10 wear that ring
will never wear it any more. The hand is
dead but the soldier still lives"
The Governor was now more interested
than ever. r
swell, madam, tell me all about it. Is
this ring yours? Was it given to Won bv

SINGLE RULE OF TnREE.-If Butte county,
with little over two-third assessment of the
taxable property of the county, at S2-52 on
the 800 worth of property, and a meagre col
lection of poll and personal property tax, how
much more could she pay, in 1868, with full
and complete assessment of all the property,
and a rigid and close collection Of poll and
personal property tax, at $500 on the Sl0O
worth of property? win not the reduction Of
the debt be fully as much, and perhaps more,
under the efficient corps of revenue officers of
our county? We are satisfied OF it, and then
our people would not be overburdened with
heavy taxation.

ton, and recognition of the rebel confeder-
aey, if the government forces are not successful
by the first Of June next. Greely IS the
founder of the present Republican dynasty,
and is keeping sharp lookout for the preser-
walton Of his party. He does not give the
public time to discover the absurdity of one Of
his propositions, before he advances another.
The proclamation Of freedom 10 the slaves, and
the raising Of negro soldiers, were the last bril-
liant acts in the Republican farce of saving
the Union, They are likely to return like the
boomerang and explode in the radical camp.
so Greely is looking for a soft place for his
partisan and radical followers to fall. Peace
and separation, is to be the radical policy.
Peace and union is death to their party. They
know and feel that fact, and hence the leaders
have learned their followers to shout " y o
union with Shareholders ~ No compromise
with rebels in arms." to which they should
now add, unless separation followsi" There
is the sum and substance of radical patriotism,
and it amounts to just this: The preservation
of their party in preference to the preservation
of the country. How long will the people be
deuded by these radical leaders into policies
disastrous to the best government on the
face of the globe ?"

is for peace and Union, but for the Union at
all hazards, peacefully if they can, forcbly if
they must
