they were only after Wells, Fargo & Co. s

minutes they allowed them TO pass on. On
arrival at Placeryille Sheriff Rogers and par
ty went in pursuit. Two men were reeogni-
zed by drivers and arrested at Thirteen Mile
House. The other four had left ftr Cosumnes
via Pleasant Valley. A party of.two officers
were started on their track. About 10 o.

Organize.

Lincoln and johnson, or Union Clubs, are
being organized throughout the State. We
! see bv our exchanges that already our princi
| pal cities and towns are in full blast. 1t this
was strictly political campaign, we would
say this final organization for victory was
premature, for the reason that the enthus
asm so necessary to success in political con
tests could hardly be kept alive for the length
of time intervening between this and election
day.
But we do not look upon the present con
test for the Presidency as a political enc, bu,
"a great, grand effort on the part of loya
men out of the army to maintain the integri
ty and entirety Of the Nation, second only t.
that being made bv the soldiers on the Lattl,
field. No tricky political man@uvers art
necessary 10 wheede men to yate for Abe
and Andy The people have been for three
wears Looking at and reasoning upon the one
great question of the day, which has hold
ingrained into the soul and heart of every
true man. that forblds anything like the pos
sibilily of falling off in the enthusiasm ne
cessary to carrying the election by an ever
whelmins majority.
Then let Shasta organize. Let us form a
c ub in this town, including i'll its member
ship every Union man residing within lis
limits. From such an organization Clubs
will be formed throughout the COZ nty in eve
ry mining camp having votes enough to or.
ganize one, This done, and the Union ticket
will receive in this county unanimity of
support greater than ever before. 1t is not
| because we cannot carry the county without
| drill and organization that we thus speak,
for we could do it with half our number
asleep, hut because we would like to see our
full strength polled. True. nobody can beat
us True, there is no danger of defeat in the
county and State. But the question is, how
much more off, aid and comfort do we give
to our armies. and the Union sentiment of the
nation, by polling an overwhelming Uni IN
majority, than by barely ding enough to
retain the offices? 1t would be shameful to
give our cliIiudlPs sit lHS coming eIectlOu II
bare majority. We would like to see, and it
can be done. a Union majority piled up in
this county so high that those opposing our
glorious principles should feel as isolated as
he who is suffering solitary confinement for
| II lifetime. We would hv this show of nj ght
make them feel their very littieness, their
unworthiness to he called American citizens,
| and ashamed (if it were possible to make
them ashamed of anything) of exercising the
I privileges Of one.

THE GOLDEN AGE-This steamer, some two
weeks over due. made her dock in San Fran
cisco at about 6 o'clock P. NJ. on the 29th ult.
On her trip up, she left Acapulco one the Sth
of June, and on the evening of the 9th broke
her port shaft. Being thus disabled from
pursuing her voyage, she returned to Aca-
pulco, which port she reached on the 18th,
where she was found by the steamer Golden
City, which took her in tow, and brought her
to San Francisco in the remarkably short
time of uine days. The Golden Age had
some twelve hundred passengers on board.
besides some valuable merchandise, and
much anxiety was felt for her safety. Insu-
rance offices in San Francisco were charging
90 to 80 per cent. for insurance Of goods on
board of her against total loss.
