GATHERING IN THE BoRGlNEs.-Lieut. Tom.
Middleton passed through Hay Fork on Sunday
with some forty fifty Indians. gathered from
the head waters of Trinity river to Douglas City.
Some rich scenes are said to have transpired in
the performance of the Lieutcnant's duty, but
there seemed to be hcart-brcaking partiDgs
on the part of the squaws when obliged to leave
their white lords. When it was ascertained that
the Indians were all to go, they packed up and
went willingly. One fne-lookng squaw cap
tured up Trinity is said to have carried with her
two trunks packed to overlooking with silk
dresses and other fancy articles in great pro-

confidence in the assertions of the " central or

disorganizers through fraud now it gives over

BLAcKHEARTED LIBELER.-Many of our
readers are aware that paper named the Nd
tional is published at Grass Valley, Nevada
county, by VIM. S. Byrne. For several months
it has been under the editorial control of John
R. Ridge, one of the most virulent mouth-pieces
of JEFF. Davis on this coast. Throughout the
late campaign its columns teemed with the low
est abuse and scurriity with articles calculated
to fire the minds and excite the passions OF the
rabble of which the Democratic party is chiehy
composed The election is past, and true to It's
low and infamous instincts, the National GATOR
now has the audacty to print wholesale iioei
upon the virtue of the loyal women OF the North,
furnished he says by - a gentleman who has
spent the past summer in the Eastern and west
ern States. - but whom the Nevada Gazette char
acterizes as q a scoundrel who must have trav-
eled through the country in state of chaotic
drunkenness, and derived his ideas of the social
system of the Northern States from exclusive
intimacy with brothels and Copperhead rum
holes" We shall only trespass on the readers
indulgence by publishing short extract from
what was a leading editorial in the National:
passed prostitution is the rule, while virtue is the
exception. Villages which, four years ago, would
not have permitted within their limits a house of
ill-repute, number their dens of infamy by
scores. Women whose husbands have sacrificed
their lives to the idol of Abolitionism, finding
themselves without protectors, and unable to
obtain honorable employment, have in sheer des-
peration thrown themselves on the town.
Both the editor and the black-hearted author
of the foul SANDER should have their noses and
ears backed from their vlanous heads for pro-
mitigating picture so disgusting, and which
they know to be false. The low-liyed rag and
its editor are maintained by the Copperheads of
Grass Valley and the pimps and trimmers of Al
lison's Ranch, place which - covered itself
with glory - at the late election by polling some
200 illegal votes. Outside of Nevada county it
is seldom seen.
The editor OF the paper calls himself an Amer
can. but how low in the scale of humanity he
has fallen. 1t is not worth the time it would oc-
cupy to contradict the lying statement in any
particular men of common intelligence know
that it contains not a shadow of truth, and that
it is gotten up solely with reference to the tastes
of the bgoted, God-forsaken things who support
the Presidential print 1t would be useless to
tell such that tie widows of soldiers are
pensioned by Government, and that the bountieS
paid to Federal soldiers are small fortunes to
laborng men. Or that the women of the North
are not such useless beings that prostitution is
their willing resort in the hour of adversely.
They have been raised to wait on themselves,
not to be dependent slaves for the slightest
service. Northern women are too intelligent to
make the lie even plausible.

WrAK-KsEEp UNION MEx.-We are sorry to De
compelled to say that there are men within tue
imaginary limits of the Union party who are OF
M manner of benefit to it, and without whom
the narty would be better off. We all deplore
war. and the necessity which brings 1t, but wheh
we hear professed Union man avow that he be-
lieyes an armisticc, or the allowing of the rebel
States to go their way in peace, TO be the best
tbinp our Government could do. we are led to
doubt both his patriotism and honesty as a
Union man. We know more than one such
within rife shot of where we write.
When this wer broke ont there were no two
opinions among truly loyal men. All such be-
lieyed that the restoration of the Union was
worth whatever it might cost in blood and treas
ure and life and fortune were pledged to that
restoration Since that time the tree of Liberty
has been watered with the best blood of the
country countless thousands sleep their last
sleep on an hundred battle-feds an innumer-
able throng of manned heroes confront with
the sad reminders of the fearful struggles through
which they have passed. and thousands of broken
homes and hopeless hearts bear witness to the
noble efforts which have been made to put down
rebellion and restore this Union Of States, which
no true American would see broken and dis
severed. Yet there are poor, God-forsaken era
yens in the Union ranks who talk of - armis-
tice - and separation, after all the cost of blood
and treasure that we have suffered to hold this
Union of States intact. Such argument is ex-
pected from 8! Peace Democrats " and traitors,
not from genuine Union men. If this Union was
worth fighting for in 1861 it is thousand times
more so to-day, and those w.o argue to the con-
trary insult the memory Of the dead heroes who
- -
try. In the present condition of our national
affairs the future is full of hope, and honor, and
self-respect to falter now would bring only in
fanny, shame and despair.
