CAPTuRED.-The Copperhead Executive
Committee of this county, few days before
the election. hired of one of our livery stables
horse, and sent one of their ex -ecutive off
GERS. with Dozen ey tickets, to Fort Crook
precinct, to remain there over election day.
We learn that on arriving at the fort this
emissary of the followers Of the Butte Call"
commenced illustrating the peculiar princi-
pies of his party, and carried it to such an
extent that the officers of the fort had him
arrested, and offered the alternative of taking
the oath of allegiance or going to the guard
house. He chose the former, and was then
escorted by file of soldiers beyond the lines
and admonished not to return. When he was
set at liberty, and supposing that he could
say and do what he pleased with impunity,
he again renewed his illustrations of the
teachings of his masters, and we are inform
ed was again captured. At all events he has
not returned up to this time, neither has the
horse been returned to its owner. We have
not heard of any attempt being made to pro-
cure writ of habeas corpus for his release
as vet.

DRowNED.-On the evening of August Goth
John Schwing. brother of Joseph Schwing,
of this place. left his room and proceeded to
the Sacramento river which he attempted to
ford ,as is supposed, and was drowned. The
Unfortunate man had been laboring under
alteration of mind for the past two years,
caused by the loss of money and property
during the flood of lS6l-2, and from time to
time had to be kept in confinement, ana was
once in the Insane Asylum at Stockton For
a few months previous to his disappearance
he had apparently been better, and was suf-
fered to go at large. On tie evening of his
disappearance, search was made for him, and
the next morning he was traced to the wa
ter's edge of the Sacramento river near the
mouth of Middle Creek. when all traces of
him were lost. On the 5th inst, Mr.. John
Schroeder, who had been in search of him,
found his body in the river lodged against
some willows about three fourths of a mile
above Reid's ferry. The body was brought
to town, and Justice Curtiss notified of the
fact, who proceeded to summons jury and
held an inquest upon the body. The jury re-
turned the following verdict:
SHASTA, SEPTEMBER 5th, 1868.
We, the undersigned, called to act as jur-
ors on the body of deceased person. find
that his name is John Schwing, aged forty
years, and native of Baden, Germany, and
came to his death by drowning while attempt
ing to cross the Sacramento river near the
mouth of Middle Creek, August Goth, 1868.

The following is the vote Of the various pre-

influence of the Press.

1t is noteworthy fact that at the late
election not one precinct in the county in
which the COURIER has any circulation gave
a majority for the Copperhead candidates.
1t is fact that in every precinct where the
COURIER and other thorough Union papers
were read, the Union party has been victori-
Gus. Some of the precincts that went for
Downey are situated on the outer edge of civ
ilization, beyond the reach of the mails or
other means of conveying to the voters the
living truths of the events that have SO sig
nifcantly marked the history of our nation
for the past two and half years. showing
the damning influence of the leaders of the
bastard Democracy which was conceived and
brought forth on the Sth of July, under what
is known as the :. Butte Call, " in this State,

ocrat' word and reproach in the mind
of every true and loyal man.
Another important fact which the result of
the election in this county shows, is that in
every precinct where the copperhead speak.
ers held meetings, the Union ticket received
a majority, which majority, we have been
Informed, was increased by the efforts of
these gentlemen for at no time since the
organization of the county has there been so
much Justification and humbuggery preached
TO an intelligent people. as has been done by
the copperhead speakers in the late cam
paign, who went about the county denounc-
ing our Government and its conduct of the
war to suppress the rebellion.
The result of the election shows that the
American people are in favor of maintaining
our Government, and when they felt satisfied
that the object of those to whom they have
in former years looked for advice, is to
tear down and destroy our institutions, and
disrupt the Union, their patriotism rose
above old party names, and by their votes
they have said the Union--it must be
preserved" -

The Instigators Of the Mob.

The TrDuae of Thursday says
We print again this morning, articles
from the insurrectionary journals, which
are doing their utmost to lomcnt the re-
belioa and stimuiat the riots to persist
in their mad career Of pillage, arson and
murder. These are the public organs OF
the men who secretly and in the dark
organized the insurrection which has
lighted devastating fires all over the city,
has cost already many lives, sacrificed
millions of proptery, compelled the occu-
pants of public officers to fortily and
garrison them, and has spread diSmay all
over the country. No Acknowledgements
conld be more open and bold that the
traitors of the North hove deliberately
planned this outbreak in favor Of the
falling cause OF their southern allies. 1t
it is no sudden thing, no mere passionate
resistance to the draft but coneocted
plan to begin by what should seem a riot
an organized res stance to the Go7ern-
mcnt which should compel it to end the
war and accept any terms Of peace that
the J eff Davis Contederacy may conde-
scend to grant. On Saturday, said Gov.
Seymour in his speech on Tuesday from

Let loyal people consider these facts.
