The rebels sometimes make use of the ma
tonal flag to decoy the Union troops into an
ambush, and the abolitionsts have learned
to initiate them. They raise the glorious
flag of the Republic, to enforce their parli-
zan views, and declare in their conventions
that any act the fanatics and spritualists
who have control of Abraham Lincoln may
adopt, is constitutional. They seek to lure
the people still farther by assuring them
that the Administration is but "a handful Of
men who were recently among the people,"
and then ask, "would they submit to des
potism that must crush themselves and their
triends?" The same might have been said
of Louis Napole leon, but, nevertheless, he took
care of himself and friends and placed his,
heel on the constitutional freedom of France.
Would the people Of the whole country
initiate the position assumed by the Excel
sior State, in the election of Seymour, con.
stitutonal liberty would be preserved to the
people, and peace and prosperity would
again visit the nation.

ENROLLING A .-Harper's Draw.
er" contains this enrolling anecdotes:
The enrolling officer of Salisbury District,
Maryland was very active and thorough in
the performance of his duty. One day he
wen: to the house of countryman, and
finding none of the male members at home,
made inquiry of an old woman, the number
and age of the males Of the family. After
naming several, the old lady stopped.
as there no one else?" asked the officer.
MOI replied the woman, "none except
Billy Bray"
"Billy Bray! where is he?'
"He was at the barn moment ago." said
the old lady.
Out went the officer, but could not see the
man. Coming back, the worthy officer
questioned the old lady as to the age Of
Billy and went away, after enrolling his
name among those to be drafted. Time Of
the drafting came, and among those on
whom the lot fell was Billy Bray. No one
knew him. Where did he live? The officer
who enrolled him was called upon to pro-
duce him; and, Io behold, Billy Bray was
jackass, and stands now on the list of
drafted men as forming one of the quota of
Maryland.

probability, adjourn. The session has been
one Of very great Importance to the State,
and many reforms haye been inaugurated
which will rebound to the honor of the dom

ravages of civil war.
The members from this county have done
well, and given very general satisfaction to
their constituency. We have seen but few
causes to oppose the acts of our members,
and award them full praise for their care for
the interests of Shasta county.
Upon two questions we have felt called up:
on to oppose the action of Senator Shurtleff
-one his resolutions in opposition to the
emancipation proclamation the other his
action in the election of United States Sen.

important measures, and we are convinced
we expressed the sentiments of three-fourths

CopPERHEAD LITERATuRE.-Such epithets
as " liar, " bastard, !"falsifer," and ''un-
derling'' are now the classic arguments used
by the copperhead papers in this State
against Union men. They seem to take great
satisfaction in calling all Union men "Abo-
litionists." Well, in this they are but fol
lowing in the lead of Beauregard, who calls
the Union soldiers Abolitionists. The on
ly difference between these two "Aboli-
ton" forces is, the Federal army is going to
abolish treason iR Dixie. while the Union
party of this State will surely abolish and
crush out seeessionism, let them blow as
much oftheir pestiferous breath as they please.

TERRIBLE CAsuALrY.-A young lady, ff-
teen years of age, whose parents reside near
Grass Valley, was killed, on Monday after.
noon last, in the following frightful manner:
The girl was visiting at an uncle's, near Lin
colp, and went out for horseback ride, on
the afternoon in question, in company with
small boy, her cousin. The road ran where
fence had been, and the horse, stepping
into an old post hole, threw the girl, her
hoops catching on the horn of the saddle
The animal ran mile and half, the girls
head portion Of the way hitting against
the fence, alongside of which he ran, crush
ing it in horrible manner. Her neck and
all her limbs were broken, and when her
corpse was found she could hardly be recog-
nized as the same person who few moments
before was so beautiful and so full of life. So
says the Appeal.
