Affairs Mt New AImaden.

The New Almaden Company are car
rying matters with high hand in their
small kingdom. The San Jose Patriot
of Nov. I'd, says:
yesterday house owned by, and in the
occupancy OF one Francisco, at the New Al
maiden mines, in which liquor saloon was
kept, was pulled down and DESTROYED BY per-
sons whose names we did mol learn, but who
acted, it is said, by authority Of the agent Of
the mines. The house cost in the neighbor-
hood of $1,000, and the loss will fall upon the
owner, unless he can recover in damages from
the parties who committed the trespass. The
New Almaden Mine Company own the land
upon which the houses there are erected, and
Al has always refused TO part with the title
in the soil. They have permitted either ex-
pressly or tacitly, persons to erect houses up
m their lands, so that there are two quite
important towns upon the tract owned BY the
company one in the valley, the other on the
hill, two miles from the former. The latter
is much the largest place, and the houses
we're erected chiefly by individuals not con-
nected with the company. The company has
recently assumed sovereign authority within
their principally, and undertake to control
the entire business within it, and it is prob
able that the pulling down Of the house has
originated in this lately assumed power.
There are individual rights as well as State
rights involved in the matter, which the
courts can alone determine.

BRITISH FINANCIAL TROUBLES

Whileithe United states are carrying on
a war of magnitude unparalleled in his
tory. the financial condition of the countr.
exhibits nothing like depression. Grea'
Britain, once the worlds banker, is and
has been for years in state of profound
peace, yet bankruptcy and ruin are thr
lule and order of the day in that "merrie
isle" We have before US the latest dates
of the New York World (Oct. l3th,) in
which we find the following:
Each steamer from Europe brings addi-
rional news of the progress OF financial
troubles in Great Britain. The feeling OF
distrust in financial circles was so great that
"A panic might at any moment enSue. Some
banking firms are said to be in a critical con-
dirion, owing TO the heavy decline in the
price of cotton, which has left their advances
largely uncovered. Some of the new imam
ciaI institutions in Great Britain have been
used for some time past by these banking
firms to support themselves from failing, IN a
manner similar to that which the Borough
Bank Of Liverpool was used in 1919 by a
Liverpool banking firm, with variety Of
branches, to keep itself from failing, OWING
TO its heavy losses from cotton sPeculauons'
Developments are expected similar to those
which were made public at the failures oil the
Borough Bank Of Liverpool and the western
Bank Of Scotland, which showed how emf
men, firms are maintained for years in state
of insolvency to deceive the public. The
credit system of Great Britain was never be-
fore in so critical a condition. Credit hrmS,
that is, those British banking hrms with
branches established at many points Tor the
purpose of kiting, and whose professed ousl-
ness is to exchange their bills drawn at long
date. for the cash Of the country in which
their branches are located, will be subjected
70 a severe ordeal. Importers and other re.
mitters need not be reminded Of the loss and
embarrassment to which they are subjected
by the failures Of some Of these banking
firms in this city in 1851. These are times IN
which no prudent merchant will buy any ex-
cepting strictly Al bills Of exchange. Pri-
vate letters from London state that II Is ex'
pected the Bank of England rate Of discount
will be twelve per cent. before the winter Is
over.
That paper is more than three weeks
old; but our latest photographic dispatches
last week informed US that the same state
of things existed and were growing no
better very fast" Who weeps over news
of calamities Detailing the merchants and
bankers of Great Britain: No true
American, we warrant. She has been our
bitterest and at the same time the most
sneakirg and cowardly foe we have had
to contend with since the breaking out of
the rebellion, always saving the Copper
head traitors of the Northern States.)
British statesmen have, within the past
year, mournfully declared in Parliament
that Great Britain has not friend on
earth |" She deserves none.

The San Francisco Ne,Os Letter British
Copperhead) gives up the election. In its is
sue of last Saturday it says:
Before the next issue Of the Ne,os Letter,
Old Abe Lincoln will in all human probability
be reelected President Of the United States,
for another term Of four years. In express
ing this expectation, we speak merely from
our iudgment-not from our wishes or our
hopes. II such should prove to be the case,
all good citizens and all conservative men
should accept the event in philosophic
mood, and endeavor to make the best OF 1t.
One effect Of the continuance OF the present
Administration in power, will be the prolong'
alton of the war for some years longer: But
IL is not certain that this will not also be the
case in the event Of the success OF MeClel-
Ian, His letter of acceptance undoubtedly
breathes war spirit, though the platform
upon which he consented BY the same letter
TO place himself, declares strongly TOR peace;
Upon the whole, we think 1t safe Tor all
whose business arrangements are 10 oe
affected by the question, to make their calcu-
latious with reference to "war ior some
time to come. BY all well-posted politicians
IN either side, the result of the election III
this State is conceded; the only question
being as 10 tue amount VI LIhSOi" ~
iority, which is variously estimated at from
ten to twenty-six thousand. The city OF
San Francisco is put down at from
thirty.two hundred 10 forty-eight hum
dred, the same way; few shrewd calculators
going as high as five thousand. We furnish
these estimates as the best and most reliable
that have been made. We have no DISPOSE
ton and no motive for concealing or misrep-
resenting the facts, as we occupy IN entirely
independent and fearless position, and are
under no obligation to brag or lie for either
party, which is more than can be said for any
other paper in San Francisco. In this city,
we are glad to know that the most thorough
md effective arrangements have been made
for preserving peace and quiet on the day OF
the election. Nothing in the shape of out
rage or riot can possibly occur; and in this
respect San Francisco probably enjoys an ad-
vantage over most OF the large cities Of the
United States. All well-disposed citizens.
md all residents having any stake in the
community, will rejoice in the knowledge
that whatever outbreaks of lawless violence
may disturb the peace of New York, or Phil
delphia, or Baltimore, on Tuesday next, the
election in the great commercial capital Of
the Pacific will be signalized by no occur
rences calculated to excite the alarm Of the
most timid, or to derogate from the fair fame
Of San Francisco as the best governed city
in the Union"

Mcc1ELLAN's RETREAT.

The only great military feat performed
by Mcclellan was his retreat from the
graveyard of ChickahOminy, when bury
ing room gave out. Charging never was
his forte unless j; was in charging his SAL
airy and incidental expenses" to the
Government-and ne does that yet. But
in 8 retreat he was always magnificent.
BIS greatest retreat Of al! is the one he
makes this day. He will remove, sue
eessfully and without pursuit. his whole
copperhead army, horse, foot, dragons
and Broom Rangers far up the River Of
Salt. He will, of course, Immediately
establish a new graveyard, and the soon

in tina, saline soil, the better for the nos
trils of the civilized world.
