take the place of General who has not had
sense enough to conduct campaign or to resign."

GSE OF TIE TRUE Men OF THE TINES
Thomas Starr King one of the most learned
diyines and graceful orators in the United
States, died in San Francisco yesterday
morning, at s o'clock. We have often
thought that the truly great men Of our
country, or of any country, were not to be
found, as many think, in the political wig
vans of a party, but in the higher associa-
tiOn which pure elOquence teaches and high
intellectual wealth advances. How often is
i, the case that men Of great promise and
energy of character in political point Of
view, in a few years retire to Obscurity,
leaving little or nothing that can be spoken to
their praise, or TO revive their memory. The
great shining lights of Nation are to be
found in the few who take times enrolling
opportunities and leave noble deeds and
beautiful remembrances of their past his
tory. Such men as King will live when the
politician like Seymour will cease to be
thought Of. The sublime eloquence Of King
will rever6erste in the ears of posterity, when
the political review of yallandigham viii
have died away.

HoLLINSHEAD-In Gold Hill, on Frihay after.
noon, March 4th, Mr.. A. c. HoLLIEsHEAD,
aged about 80 years. .......
1T is with no ordinary regret md heartfelt
sorrow that we record the untimely death of our
fellow. citizen, Mr.. Holllnshoad His decease has
cast gloom over the people Of Gold Hill, such as
we have not before observed since we took up
our residence among them Mr.. Hollinshead was
in Virginia on Monday afternoon, when he was
suddenly taken with chill, and on reaching his
home the same evening, his physician pronounc-
ed his complaint the spotted fever" Many and
kind.hearted friends, bound by fraternal tics
mlnistered to his every want and desire to allevi
ate his sufferings-which were truly excruciating
but death, the great leveler Of mankind had Sc
lected him as its victim, and yesterday at three
o'clock, his spirit left Its earthly tabernacle and
assembled to "the Grand Lodge, not made with
hands eternal In the Heavens" The deceased
was native cf .Morristewn, New Jersey, where
ho has a mother and several other relatives Gv.
ing, and emigrated 10 California in the year 1852
He resided for several years at Todd's Valley in
Placer county, and about year siuce removed
to Gold Hill, where he has been actively
engaged in the business operations of our town.
As we write these few lines In token of respect
TO his memory, and the many good and manly
qualities he possessed when living, the funeral
cortege Is bearing his remains TO the Cemetery,
under the auspices of the Order Of Masons, Of
which he was An honored and beloved member.
His memory will remain green and pleasant
with many who knew him but to love him.

A MIRACULOUS CoSvERsIoN.-The New York
Herald of February 9Th comes out fairly and
squarey for the total adjustment OF negro slave
~. The following is the material portion OF its
leading article upon this subject: In various
manifestations we perceive that the more astute
of the managing politicians of the Northern De-
mocracy are beginning to realize the fact that the
maintenance of southern slavery for political
purposes has become an "obsolete idea;" that,
from this terrible war, the Institution has reeeiv
ed such shock through all its vitals that II can
not survive that the hope of restoring ii, with
the restoration of the Union, as Democratic bal
ance of power, is gone; that the public sentiment
of the loyal states is drifting irreSistiby along
with the current of events to universal emancipa
ton and that, before the broken fragments Of
the late Democratic party eau do anything, or
hope 10 do anything, as National organization,
they must be relieved Of this incubus Of Southern
slavery The immediate and all-important OBJ
iect in view is the next Presidency, and 1t is mo-
rally certain that, upon pro-slavery platform
the Democracy against an anti-slavery platform
will hardly obtain the vote Of q solitary State
participating in the election. Even in 1856
with the solid vote Of the fifteen slave States,
the success of Buchanan turned upon a
scanty Democratic majority secured in Pennsyl
vania by lavish outlay of money in her October
election Since that day Buchanan's Administra.

ANOTHER ENGLISH LETTER
WRITER.

Americans have received many mischiey-
Gus reviews since the breaking out of civil
war in the United States, from English wri-
tiers, sent here from the London press. And
universally have we had occasion to COM
plain and find fault with the misrepresenta-
tion of affairs in our country, and the ego
tistical remarks and differences drawn there
from. The miserable DR.. Russell, Of the
London Times, said as many silly things
and made as many silly predictions as it is
possible for any man of common understand
ing to make. But the London Daily TsIe-
graph, which has daily circulation of
10000, and which has all along been warm
sympathizer with the Southern rebellion,
dispatched thither about two months ago
their most able writer as correspondent Of
that paper. We have many thanks to offer
that we have found at last, one Englishman'
eminent as a writer and man of good general
understanding, who can do justice to our in
situations, and draw differences in the light
Of reason and common sense-Mr. George
Augustus Sala. His letters are sharp, spicy,
and to the point, and although a true Eng
lishman in feeling and expression, he speaks
OF things nearly as they are, and as he un-
doubtedly understands them to be. Last
December, while Congress was in session,
Sala wrote his third letter, and reviewed with
favorable expression the differences between
an American Congress and the British Par
lament. The conclusions are good, and are
rare gems of thoughtfulness and fraukness,
emanating as they do from across the ocean.
"And who is this Mr.. George Augustus
Sala :" might be the next inquiry coming
from the American public. We know only
that for several years he has been an able
contributor to English literature, and already
enjoys the reputation of being apleasant and
versatile writer-of which he is eminently
deserving. Since the recent death Of
Thackeray, ''the cristies" have been looking
around for wort ny successor Of England's
latter-day distinguished satirist, and Sala has
been spoken of as the person most fit BY cul-
tnre and inclination to succeed in Thacke-
rays peculiar department; although we doubt
his ability to attain so great fame. Hehas
written the best notice on the death Of
Thackeray, of whom he was personal friend.
1t is intimated that Sala's American letters
will be published in book form, and we may
naturally conclude that his most pleasing
style of composition, and the lOftiest reach
of thought will be employed to make it at
tractive. Certainly the letters already writ
ten are interesting no less to England than
70 America.

DEATH OF T. STARR KING.

Thomas Starr King died this morning
at eigh, o'clock, of diptheria," was the sad
dispatch that came over the wires from San
Francisco yesterday. Another great man IS
gone. The solemn Mass is hardly chanted
over the remains O. Archbishop Hughes,
and he he has hardly been laid to rest in the
sunshine when we are called to mourn
the loss Of another master mind. Rev. l..
Starr King was native of Charlestown,
Massachusetts,. His father died while pastor
Of a UniversaliSt church in Charlestown, and
was succeeded BY the great pulpit orator and
con,roversionalist, Rev. Edwin H. Chaplin,
now Of New York. T. Starr King in his
youth was first engaged as clerk in drygood
store, and afterwards in the Charlestown
Navy Yard. When he was about q years
OF age the Rev. DR.. Chaplin received call
from church in Boston, and he then COM
menced his career as a divine by supplying
this vacancy once filed by his father. His
discourses, replete with sound sense and ORR
ginal thought, soon drew such congregations
as 6lled his church to overlooking, and gain
ed for the young minister an enviable repu-
tation. Soon, calls from other quarters be-
gan to flock in upon him, and in short
time he left this congregation, and was or
dained Pastor Of the Hollis street Unitarian
Church, which had long been known as the
mos, wealthy religious society in Boston.
Here he remained until he LEFT for San Fran
cisco. At the time he quilted Boston his
health was very feeble, but the voyage to
San Francisco, and the climate of California
reinv;Sorated his health so much, that he
has been enabled to perform prodigious la
bors since his arrival. He was a profound
and original thinker-an exact and compre-
hensive reasoner-a man of unbounded be-
nevolence aud unfsigned piety. He was be-
loved BY his congregation as a pastor, and
stood unsurpassed as pulpit orator. Since
his arrival in California, he has done invalu-
able service, morally, socially and politically
as a lecturer. In times of public danger he
has left the pulpit and come upon the stage
TO graphic with the enemy. Independent of
of mind, he was pleasing in appearance and
address. Original in his thought, and hon.
est in his expression, he has made himself
beloved BY all the people on fhis coast. His
loss is, indeed, public calamity.

Notwithstanding to reports, we will
soon have a feet of ironclads on the Pacific
coast. The San Francisco papers say that
one-third of the cargo Of the Aquila is al
ready discharged, and the work still progress
ing; and that Captain Merritt says he will
have the Comanche afoat by the first Of Au-
gust. The Wateree, it is telegraphed, has
already started on her voyage round the
Horn for San Francisco. Her mate is on the
stocks, building for the same destination.
These two last are double-enders, and very
fast sailers. The report of an attack upon
our Pacific ports by the Alabama and the
Anglo Chinese feet, seems to have stirred up
the authorities at Washington to sense of our
defenseless condition and great danger. Mr..
CONFESS of California has had sense enough
to improve the opportunity and get protec-
ton while the public attention was turned to
this coast and fear Of insecurity excited.

GENIUS ESoreH TO MIsoroTE, AT LEAST.
The Enterprise Of yesterday contained a
leading article on the death of distinguish
ed orator, scholar and divine; and, trying to
rise 10 the Immortal nights Of poetry, it
insulted the enlightened shade of the sulo-
eized BY saying that " he has carved for him
self a name"
Among the immortals,
The few who were not born 70 dc.
The fact of the accomplishment Is correct
enough, but the attempted poetical quotation
to convey and highten it, is objectionable
The quotation, proper, would have been a.
follows:

That were not born 10 die" cr
No matter whether the EsHeypriss quoted
i0norantly or endeayoredto surpass itself and

tue poets words assuredly merits censure--
like all the worst Of pedantic Ignorance and
