COUNTY RECORDER.

Of all the candidates now before the
people of Storey County for Office, there
is, perhaps, not one who stands higher in
character for honesty, integrity, and ca
pacity, than does CHARLES H. FISH,
ESQ.,. for the office of County Recorder.
He is the present incumbent of that office,
and as ne has performed the duties of that
position so well, so satisfactory to Ill pei
sons who have required his services, and
standing so high in the estimation of the
people, it seems to be almost universally
conceded that he will be retained to fill
for the next two years, the place he has
SO well and SO honorably filed. We do
not present Mr.. Fish as having "claims"
10 the position for past services-but IA
Their that the people have q claim upon
him, as they feel the more certain of the
records of the county being all right
when placed in such excellent and trust
worthy hands. Besides being the choice
of the Regular County Convention, he is
our choice, and we desire all our friends
to vote for him.

A PRESIDENTIAL ARMIsTlcE.-One para
graph in the latest dispatches is Of nature
to create much speculation and feeling, al
though it is announced as negative. 1t in.
Inmates that reports had existed that Repub-
lican leaders had made an impression on the
President in favor OF an armistice until after
the election, but that those reports are un-
founded. How unfounded? Unfounded that
such efforts had been made, or that the eff
forts, although made, had not made an i'm
preston on the PRESIDENT We are inclined
to believe that the latter is true. That there
are men, presuming to be leaders, who would
be willing to make the salvation Of the Union,
the safety Of the country, subservient to the
election Of President, aye, and secondary
to it, is quite possible. There are men in
and out Of Congress, politicians more plenti-
full than honest men, whose love Of country
takes second rank with their love of party,
whose patriotism is junior to their love OF
office, and who would rather the country
were divided than that their party and their
candidate-if he have Office and rewards to
bestow--should be defeated. Such men may
have exerted their utmost powers oil
persuasion upon Mr.. Lincoln. But we sim
cerely hope that the latter has Strengthened
and strengthened his backbone, and told

yield all the advantages gained, all the OPP
portunities for pushing q success we have
earned by the most fearful losses, because
there is to be an election Of President next
November, Such an armistice would cost
us more in money thrice over than would an
active campaign, for it would amount to a
transportation OF our soldiers from their pres
emit positions to their homes and back again
such as did not take the opportunity to de-
sert, or die through sudden change of eli
mate and habits. We can conceive Of no
national good, but much evil which would
result from such an armistice. If offers OF
peace be made which our Government can
entertain as subjects of discussion, let them
be received for such a purpose. II they re-
suit in an armistice, very well. An honora-
BILE cessation of warfare in the interests OF
an honorable, hoped-for peace, no one would
condemn. But let the man or men who pro-
pose an armistice, for a mere political and
personal purpose, have their names printed
in scarlet, that every true man who loves his
country may have chance to curse them.
We lead off in such maledictions from heart,
tongue, lip and pen. Every such counsellor
is traitor, an Arnold, and may Benedict
Arnold's fate be their's-known and detested
of all men, with not friend while living,
none to mourn them when dead infinite in
disgrace beyond the boldest Southern Rebel,
being hypocrites as well as traitors.-Cah

Political Changes.

Concerning political changes" during
the present aspect of national affairs, the
Marysville appeal discourses as follows:
Copperheads tell us of political changes in
their favor-that loyal Democrats and loyal
Republicans have "changed their politics"
and embraced Copperheadism! To use the
word political in the highest conceivable
sense, we declare such change an impossi-
bility. No man can exchange what he has
not-and loyal Democrat or loyal Repub.
lican cannot change politics. When the
true MISUNDERSTANDING and Douglas
Democrats-joined hands with the Republi-
cans, they forgot party and tabooed politics.
They declared in favor Of sustaining the
Government against the attacks of rebels.
To change is to oppose the Government
which they were not only under the highest
obligations to sustain, but which they had
solemnly pledged, come veal or come woe,
they would maintain, even with their lives.
To change politics, in times of rebellion and
civil war, to give the idea full scope, would
be a crime-an offense of the highest grade,
and punishable with death. Suppose our
soldiers in front of Richmond should suggest
to their commanders that they are about to
" change politics !" that they had thought
the rebellion wrong, but right or wrong they
had concluded to offer terms Of peace or
compromise. What would we call such SOL
diers Would they escape the charge of
treason and punishment on the plea that they
had changed politics ," Are not we equally
obligated with that class of our citizens?
Have we not all sworn the same Oath-to
support and maintain the Government and
the Constitution? Because the soldier is
physically sustaining the Government, are
we the less obligated to be true to it
This talk of political changes during re-
bellion is the palliative language of traitors.
1t is the idiom of new party-the Northern
rebel party. It is the speech Of party en-
listing or training soldiers in behalf OF JEFF.
Davis. 1t is the Northern reserve-the fore
runner of that condition of parties expected
BY the leading rebels at the commencement
Of the war" divided North and united
South" -.-.,.s ...... DID.
The absurdity-aye, downright disloyalty-
of preaching politics in time of war is fully
illustrated in the rebel States. No man
breaches politics there-no man dare, If he
would. Loyal citizens even fear to express
their love for the old Union, or desire for
peace. The newspapers at Richmond do not
talk of men changing their politics" They
meet the issue squarely, and declare they
will win Dissolution or be subjugated. The
Copperheads profess it is political question
to surrender to an enemy, and give rebels
what they demand. 1t may be, but Of the
same character as exists between the robbcr
and the highwayman-between the proprietor
and the incendiary. We do not deny but
that man may change. A protested Union
man may become a rebel-but in the CONVEX
sion there are violations Of principles greater
than are 20 be found in political parties.

created the most marked sensation which
our town has seen for months. saw the
fair Emily and several sister actresses walk
ing down Montgomery street yesterday, and
overheard the remarks Of the admiring hun;
dreds ofsidewaik philosophers who had con-
gregated to witness the spectacles and coarse
enough those remarks were as a rule, as
sure you. In the evening, the Metropolitan
was crowded to sufEocation, with the worst
looking audience have ever seen in q the
atre in this city. Had it been announced
that the same fair, shapely, attractive woman,
was to be burned at the stake in state OF
utter nudity, the crowd inside could not have
been greater, for that was impossible, but the
same audience would have been there, and
five dollars could have been charged for ad-
mission instead of one dollar. / saw the
curtain up and the last act concluded,
and went away from the theatre with
contempt for my fellow creatures which l
never felt before. To speak plainly, the au-
dience as whole was dissatisfied, not be-
cause the star did not act her part elegantly
much better than Menken ever did it-and
was not richly and appropriately dressed,
but simply because she was dressed at all.
The cast, aside from Mrs. Jordan, was utter.
ly execrable, and the splendid mounting OF
the piece, and the brilliant stage effects were
utterly ruined by the horrible botehing ofthe
minor actors. Pecuniarily the piece was
hit and will probably pay for week or more,
but what a comment on the taste of San
Francisco To do them Justice not 100 OF
the recognized ladies Of San Francisco were

Garret Davis, of Kentucky, in the course
of a speech in the Senate went so far as to
say ''as between the perpetuation in Office Of
Mr.. Lincoln and his Cabinet and the success
of JEFF. Davis rebellion, he preferred the
latter" That is the natural preference Of
every Copperhead, although few have the
honesty to ayow it openly. And this hatred,
be it understood as not against Mr.. Lincoln,
but against any man or men that will act as
he has done for the preservation of the Gov
eminent and the crushing of rebellion and
slavery. Mr.. Davis openly expresses his
preference for wouldrb e usurper over the
legally elected President Of the United States.
How different the sentiment uttered on the
same floor by Henry Clay. Said he:
hold that whenever rebellion raisesits head
in my country, am for testing whether we
have Government" Mr.. Davis sides with
his namesake, and proposes to prove that we
have not Government. Thomas II. Benton,
whose fealty to the Democratic party has
never been called in question, was also in
favor Of dropping all minor considerations, in
the event Of armed resistance to the Govern
ment, and Of giving his unquestioning and
jealous support to the constitutionally elected
Government. He would not ask, when the
assassin's knife was at the nations throat,
who hold the Offices who enjoy the honors
who receive the emoluments? The only fact
he realized was that there was great princi-.
pie to be lost or saved. He forgot men, for
got self. After the great question was set
tied, would be time to think of more trivial
things. GAS for the plotters of disunion and
secession" said Mr.. Benton in his seat in
the United States Senate, "they will be found
out and will receive their reward; and I, for
one, shah be ready to meet them at Phillippi,
sword in hand, whenever they bring their
parrieidal scheme to the test of arms.
shall not fall upon my sword, as Brutus did.
though Cassius be killed, and run it through
my own body, but shall save it, and save
myself for another day when the battle of the
disunion Of these States is TO be fousht-not
with words but with iron-and for the hearts
Of the traitors who appear in arms against
their country" The black clouds of rebel
lion which have since broken in stormy an
ger, were then portentiously rising and rum
bling. The plotters have been found out,
and verify will they receive their reward.
The language indicates where Benton, were
he now living, would be in the present emer-
geney. He would be with Butler, and Dix,
and Andy johnson, and many other true
patriots, would there were more OF them), to
prove to the world that even in its most cor
rupt days the sense of duty and love Of coun-
try above party was not entirely extinct IN
the Democratic organization. May these
words prove as mirrors to well-meaning men
who still hug name In preference TO = prin-

ATLANT4AND1 ITS FoRTIFTcGTIoNs.-Som
idea of the difficulties Sherman troops have
had to encounter intheir approach to Atlanta
may be found in perusing the following brief.
sketch of an army correspondent, writing
from that region: Imagine all the country
between the Allatoona- mountains and the
Chattahoochie river plowed into huge ridges,
ON an average, once in every five miles-con-
tinuous cribs built Of rails and poles or
oftener Of huge logs, twelve miles long, filled
root of Georgia forest. four feet high and
six feet wide, running through the thickest
woods and cleared fields alike, always two,
oftener three, and sometimes even five lines
deep, and all finished perfectly and polished.
The trenches cut down square and true and
the parapets shaped as if with the square and
plummet-and you have a faint conception Of
the mazes of rebel Notifications through
which this army has fought and fanked its
way thus far into the Confederacy."

make the correction. Our statement was
based upon information that We had no
reason to doubt at the time. There is no
such mortgage of record, neither is there
any deed from Mr.. Driscon to Goodman

that his pretended sale of that interest was
only joke and that he still runs it.
