Facts and Figures.

The editor of the Virginia City Old Piute oc-
casonally furnishes his readers with chapter
of telling, but sometimes unpalateable statistics
Lovejoy is not an "Abolitionist" in any sense
of the word-in fact he is prone to deal unpleas-
ant thrusts at Uncle Abe's style of doing things.
Not more than week ago, however, he gravely
informed his readers that e the officials of the
so-called Southern Confederacy are much ad-
dicted to bombast." He arrived at that conclu-
sion after reading Jefferson Davis letter to Lord
Lyons, in response to protest concerning the
construction of ships of war for rebel use in
which he announces himself as the "Chief
Magistrate of a nation comprising population
of more than twelve millions" Old Piute be-
lieved that the rebel President lied, and imme-
diately ascertained from the census report of
1860 that the population of Jeff.'s snation - at
that time was 9,1s4,24s, whites and blacks all
told, and that the white population of the North
then exceeded the white population of the South
by about IL, 200, 900. Old Pute thinks the in
crease Of a million year rather remarkable,
considering that the population of those States
has been largely decimated by losses on the bat
closes with the following statement the correct
ness of which the last census table will show
q The three States of Louisiana, Arkansas and
South Carolina combined have not population
which will equal that of New York city alone.
Mississippi State is but little better off for white
people than Brooklyn, which is a suburban part,
SO to speak, of New York city. Why, the whole
population in the Confederate States of Ameri-
ca u does not equal that of the Bay, Empire and
Keystone States. Jeff. Davis pretentions to rule
over many millions of people, is nothing but
bombast, let out for the purpose of creating for
the unrecognized C. S. of A. and it's traitorous
but recognized head, some little eclat among the
European Governments. 1t won't do for Mr..
Davis to attempt to palm an exaggerated number
in population on the powers they won't believe
it. They fully and regularly posted as
of the North Every movement of the
Union troops, which tends to circumscribe Sc
cessia's rule, they note Arkansas, Tennessee,
louisiana and portions of all the Southern
States, yield obedience to the Federal troops,
and instead of twelve millions of subjects, jeff.
Davis sways his authority over only about seven
million subjects, willing or unwilling, three mil
lions of whom are blacks and slaves"

FOURTH OF July BALL.-It will be noticed that
Bates L Van Matre announce dancing party on

and those who go may depend that they will be
most Hospitality entertained Vehicles of all
kinds are at premium for the occasion, and it
is Gus. Scammon intention, if full load can
be obtained, to run his coach out on the night
of the Ball, and return in time next morning to

HIS PROGRAMMED friend writing from Hum
boldt in regard to the petitions recently sent to
the Colonel commanding that District, says:
q | am satisfied that the petitions will have no
avail. The Colonel has his plans, and is not
easily induced to change them, although think
the Indians in your section will get jolly stir
ring-up if they don't skedaddle shortly. Many
petitions from different parts of Humboldt coun-
ty have been sent to the Colonel, but he says he
did not come here to listen to individual instances
of suffering, but to clean out the Indians, and
intends to dc it. Many may suffer by this mode
of proceeding, but the community will be soonest
benefited by it,

GREATHoUsE OPINIoN.-After Ridgely Great
house was arrested at Yreka, he expressed the
opinion that every man born in the South had
more or less sympathy with the South in the
present crisis. 'What then do you think of
men born in the North who espouse the cause of
the South, and pretend to sympathze with the
rebellionY ~ asked the Deputy Marshal of Siski-
you. g Think p said Greathouse, az think

The Pure MAN.-The following illusion to an
incident in Fremonts life, made by j. W
Dwnelle, Esq, in speech before the Lincoln
ratification meeting at San Francisco:
q But, gentlemen, this is occasion which
we owe it to the great cause of our country to
expose this factious person (Fremont) IN his
true light to his fellow countrymen, and what
am about to say thousand men here to-
night know it to be true, and thousands of
others in our city and California who con-
firm its truth. 1t is not therefore, charge rest
ing upon personal character or veracity, but a
charge brought against Fremont by this meet
ing and by California. We tell our countrymen
there at the East, that Fremont is man who
regards neither his word, his obligation, his
bond, nor his oath. We tell them that his char
acter is defiled by the base betrayal of a woman
who appealed to him for succor and sympathy
in the greatest distress which could befall her ;
that he abandoned her to the Lunatic Asylum, and
her child and his to the cold charity of the world
A number of voices, 1t is true True F.! Is
not the fact notorious? Are there not thousands
of our citizens who know it? Will any one here
deny doubt it? Is not the record of shame
written by honest and fearless priest of Christ
in the baptismal book of yonder church? Should
these things be hidden when person solicts the
Presidency as an honest and pure man? All, my
friends, in that sad, dreadful catastrophe of the
steamer UOtdeH Uute, one TORN, WretcHeu neart
throbbed its last pulsation poor crazed
soul passed from the burning deck to the king
dom of heaven, purified by the double baptism
of water and fire We send, then this greeting
to our brethren at the East This man is in
capable, dishonest and polluted vote for him if
you will. 1t has said tonight that he
would rather reign in hell than serve in heaven !;
but is he not now doing the devils dirtiest work,
conspiring with traitors to defeat the election of
a true and tried patriot to the Presidency?'

UNBEARABLE.-If for no other reason, Brown,
of the Democratic Press, should be sent to pack
jokes he is constantly perpetrating. For in

nomination will be almost equivalent to an cleo
ton, and we shall enter the contest with bright
hopes of success Let US prepare to rejoice when

as amended by the last Legislature. has been re-

lished by the Department of Instruction for the
use Of school officers, important omission oc-
ours, to which we desire to call the attention OF
Trustees. 1t is section I of the amended law,
which will be found on page 2l1 of the Statutes
of 1s63-'64, which reads follows:
Sec 7. When the State and county money to
which any district is entitled is not sufficient to
keep School open in such district for at least
FIVE months in each year, it is hereby made the
duty of the Trustees of such district to levy and
they shall levy direct upon the taxable
property in such district, sufficient to raise an
amount which, together with the State and coun-
ty money to which such district is entitled, will
keep school open five months and such tax
shall be assessed, equalized and collected, in the
manner prescribed for assessing, equalizing and
collecting taxes voted for District School houses,
excepting that the Trustees may appoint the AS
SCISSOR and Collector, and also excepting, that if
fractional part of cent is sufficient, the whole
cent need not be levied in lieu thereof; the tax
so levied shall include sufficient to pay the cost
of assessing and collecting.
In pursuance of the provisions of the above
section it becomes the duty of Trustees in each
School District to Immediately ascertain the
amount of money remaining in the county treas
ury to the credit of their respective districts, and
if the sum be insufficient to sustain the public
school for at least fire months, to Immediately
levy an assessment on the taxable property of
the district sufficient to meet the deficiency. The
Clerk of each Board of School Trustees is hereby
recommended to cut out the above section and
attach it to the pamphlet copy of the School
Law as furnished, and which is to remain on
file with other documents in the keeping of the
Clerk of each District.
