A True DENockAr.-The secession sympa-
&hizers in New HampshiEs do not succeed in
carrying all the Democrats in supported their
schemes. Thus, few days ago, while Col.
George, candidate forGongress. was speaking
at Hopkinton, in that State, a Democrat who
had always clung to the party arose and said:
% Colonel George. do you support the govern
ment in putting down the rebellion?" The
Colonel replied: " 1t cannot be put down by
fighting" ssThen, +" said the Democrat, IL
separate from you and the party that sup
ports you. go for my country at all haz-
ards, and for putting down the rebellion by
che sword. l am no Democrat, if opposition
to my country is Democracy"
Such are the true sentiments of the loyal
portion of the Democratic party in this State,
.ana they win all be found giving their undi-
Sided support ia their Government. by sup
porting the Union party at the next election.

VALUE OF RAILwAys.-We commend the
following, from an English writer, on the
subject of railways. to the people of Califor-
MIA
:" Railways have, when properly selected,
been invariably attended with the following
results: Increased Government revenue /; in.
creased value of property increased cultiva-
ton and produce, and expansion of manufac-
lures increased accommodation to all class
es for Accommodation diminished cost
of all description Of goods to consumers and
increased consumption by accession of num-
bers measure of universal benefit, without
drawback or objection, if selected and car
ried out under due provisions, with Judgment
and discretion"
A correspondent Of the Westminster Re
view, speaking on the same subject, says:
wherever railways are constructed
whether they cross the American continent,
and link the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, OF
line the banks of the Thames, the Rhine, the
Danube, and the Euphrates traverse the
burning plains of Hindoston. or the snow of
Siberia-the maxim enunciated by Mr..
Pease of Darlington, when railways were
only experiments, on the success of which he
haS risked his fortune, will equally hold
good, and remain unquestioned evidence of
his largeness of view and soundness of judg-
ment: Let the country but make the rail-
roads and The railroads will make the coun.

A REVOLVING spectacle is already presented
on the battle field of Antietam. The earth
is washing away from the shallow trenches
used for graves, and bodies of the buried SOL
diers are appearing ON the surface in various
parts Of that vast grave yard.

EcREATIoN.-Recreation of some sort is
absolutely necessary to relieve our minds and
bodies from too constant attention and labor
Indeed, the use of wisdom consists in tenn
pering our recreations. There are some so
rigid, or so timorous, that they avoid all d.
versions, and dare not abandon lawful de-
lights, for fear of offending. These are hard
tutors, if not tyrants to themselves; whilst
they pretend to mortified strictness. they
are injurious to their own liberty, and the
liberality of their Maker. Let your recrea-
tion be manly, moderate, seasonable and
lawful. If your life be sedentary, let it be
more tending to the exercise of your body if
active, more to the refreshing of your mind.
Ihs use of recreation is to strengthen your
labor and sweeten your rest.

ICERTIFICATE.I
TIE undersigned, desirous of acquainting those
who may be unfortunate enough to be similarly af-
ficttd where permanent relief of their suferings
maybe obtained, feels it his duty to thus publicly
express his most sincere gratitude to DR., L. j.
CzapEay for the permanent recovery of his health.
Borre down by the distressing symptoms incident
to the vicious practices of uncomfortable passion
in youth, depressed in body and mind, unable to
perform even the most trifing duty imposed by the
daily avocations of life, sought the advice of ma
ny physicians, who at first regarded my disease as
of trifng Importance ; but alas after few weeks
and, several instances months of their treatment
| found, to my unutterable horror, that instead of
relief, my symptoms became more alarming in
their torture and being told ny bne that nv dis
vass being principally eonfined tsthe brain, medi-
cine wpuld be of little consequence, despaired of
regaining my health, strength and energy; and
as a last resort, and with but faint hope called
upon nr. Czapkay, who, after examining my case.
PRESCRIBED some medicine, which almost instantly
rellN5vsd me cf the dull pain and dizziness in my
head. Encouraged by the result, l resolved to
place myself under his care, and, by strict obedi-
ence to all his instructions and advice my head be-
came clear my ideas collected, the constant pain in
ms tSek and gsoias. the weakness of my limbs, the
nervtus reaction of my whole body on the slightest
alarh or excitement, the misanthropy and evil
foreIodings, the selfdistrust and want of confidence
in o7ers, the incapability to study the want of

discharges have all disappeared, and, in fact, in

Eitif a view to guard the unfortunate from fall
