publishers, abont the increase in the price of pa

SECRETARY SEwARD.-Tbere seems to be a
great diversity of opinion in regard to the sup
posed causes which induced Seward to tender
his resignation, as recently announced. Some
think he doubts the policy of the Presidents
emancipation proclamation. Geo. Wilkes, editor
of New York sporting newspaper, who so sud.
denly discovered that Mcclellan was most in
competent General, and who is supposed to know
everything, brings very serious charges against
the Secretary, in a late number of his paper
He charges among other things that Seward
counselled Buchanan not to reinforce Fort Sum
ter that he wrote to Fremont, while comman-
ing in Missouri, ordering him to withdraw his
proclamation against Missouri rebels, and that
without the advice or consent of the President ;
that he helped Gwn out of his scrape and gave
him a free pass to the Southern Confederacy
and that his influence was used for Seymour in
the late New York election. Poor Seward.

The Posr OFFIoE.-There is no better place
to view human nature in its various phases than
to survey the countenances of q crowd of people
as they retire from post Office window. Disap-
poinlment, sorrow, pleasure, each has an impress
OF some countenance; an elderly woman appears
she soon receives the same negative answer
that she has heard for the last month. AS she
slowly retires you can plainly read despair A

GUILTY BY HER OWN CoNFEssIoN.-M Many years
ago, when the students at Yale College, New
Haven, roomed in the college building, and were
up to all sorts Of queer pranks there, pair OF
madcaps rigged small windass. which was con
cealed under the bed in their room. AT night
they would attach it to the open window and al
ternately draw up and let down each other at
pleasure. In this way they were enabled to elude
the vigilance of the tutors, who would never
allow student ingress or egrcss except at
proper hours 1t was said also, that females
visited the college rooms by means of this wind
lass, being drawn up and let down In large
basket. OF course great deal of gosspng con
yersaton was the consequence. One day, during
this period, the following colloquy occurred be-
tween two young girls in Chapel street " Jane,
do you really believe that students draw girls up
to their rooms ?" 90 Certainly my dear; more
than that, kno,D they do"
"How?" "Well, | was going by the south
building early one morning, last week, when
heard sort of creaking noise and looked that
way, and as plain as | you know, saw a
girl in a basket, about halfway from three
story window to the ground aud just then the
rope broke and-d0ton / come ~
Then it was you, my dear ?" inquired the
first speaker 40, no-what did l say--yes

WOOD, FERSANDo.-The fact that this man an
nounced that the rebels were sueing for peace
has not been doubted, so far as we know, but il
appears that those who know him best don't be-
leve anything he says. The Baltimore Clipper
OF December Sd has this
Fernando Wood, of New York. In late speech
stated that there was proposition from leading
sccessonists at the South, "men of position and
influence in the Southern Confederacy" to return
to the Union " under Democratic rule the
past to be forgotten, the public debt on both
sides to be provided for, and they we're willing
to let bygones be bygones if the North would,
and the Union once again be restored" and Fer
nando Wood says that he had communicated the
fact to our Government. We're II not that other
evidences are in existence tending to prove the
assertion that this rebellion is about being played
OUT and the rats are deserting the sinking ship.
no one would place any reliance on the asser-
tion of so unprincpled demagogue as this same
Fernando Wood is known to be-and even now,
80 far as his connection with the matter is con-
cerned, there is reason to doubt his statement !;
for like all men of his character, the end justies
the means, and his speech containing the above
remark, made just on the eve of an impor-
tant election for corporation officers, and to aid
his party"

We CAN'T SEE IT.--Some Democrat who is
fully posted in the matter will confer O great IA
vor by informing us where the big Democratic
majorities in some of the Eastern States came
from at the late elections. The Democracy have
insisted, and still do, that their men were doing
the fighting, while the cowardly Abolitionsts 10
remained ut home. Yet at the late elections the
Union men didn't appear to be at home at all,
while the Democrats were as thick as frogs after
shower II they went into the army how did
they get home? Where did they come from -
And II they did not go into the army who filled
up the ranks? Does anybody know?

We have received the following lette. from
the Treasurer of the National Sanitary Commits
sion, acknowledging the receipt from citizens Of
Trinity county of the first insalment of Twenty
One Hundred and Eight Dollars, contributed in
aid of tho objects for which the Commission was
created
NEW York, Nov 26. 1862.
To CITIZENS OF WEAvERvuLE AND TRINITY
COUNTY THE Commission is most deeply i'm
pressed by the splendid generosity with which it
is sustained by the people Of California The
spontaneous and liberal support II has received
from her elder sisters, east OF the Rocky Noun
tains, during the last sixteen months, has been
repeatedly dwelt upon as o signal eviden of
the self-denyng patriotism and munfcence of
the American people. 1t was, in fact not only
unsurpassed, but unprecedented in the history
of public charity. But all that the rest OF the
country has done is eclipsed by the bounty of
your State. 1t has already contributed to the
sacred object of saving lives and economizing
the health of our soldiers nearly twice the amount
given by all the other States and five times as
much as the State of New York. IL will be known
hereafter by nobler title than that of " Golden"
and held in honor as the :" Life Saving" State
of the Union.
The effect of your generous bounty will be felt
in every camp and military post, and on every
field of battle. IL will be the means of mitiga-
ting an incalculable amount Of suffering and
preserving thousand of lives that otherwise would
have been wasted.
1t enables the Commission to do hereafter more
thoroughly and on a larger scale than what IL did
after the recent battles in Virginia aud Maryland
- to reach the ground with its wagon trans aud
moving depots, and its corps of surgeons aud
assistants, forty-eight hours in advance of the
supplies Of the Medical Department of the Army,
aud during that period to furnish nearly all the
stimulants opates, angthet ties and medical stores
required by thousands of wounded men lying un.
sheltered. and unprovided with either medicine
or appropriate food. 1t invigorates all the oper
atons of the Commission in the inspection OF
camps and military hospitals-the supply to sick
and wounded men Of comforts which Government
does not furnish the distribution throughout the
army OF publications instructing the soldier as to
the preservation Of his health aud ef1lcency-the
transportation Of clothing hospital bedding, and
other stores, to points where they are urgently
needed and where their Issue by Government is
delayed by the necessary forms of official routine.
Thus and by other like agencies, the Commission
has been daily saving lives-worth millions, in
its organization. California enables us got omiy
to go on with this work, but to double its energy.
And speaking not only for ourselves but for
the thousands OF Eastern homes saved from be-
reavement and mourning by the bounty Of your
noble State and for all the loyal people of the
North, we return to you, and to all who have CO.
operated with you, ihe expression of our heart
felt respect and gratitude
BY order of the Executive Committee,
Gro. T. STRONG, Treasurer.
