GRANTS PHYSIoGNOMY.--The pithy and sem
tentious writer of - Thoughts and Things" in
the Golden Era, who has only to adopt some dis
tinctive de plume and stick to it, in order to
win due recognition, INDUCES in the following
reflections, suggested by a glance at General
Grants photograph
If were to judge by the general tone of in
tellgence from the seat of war, l should say
that JEFF Davis may sleep quietly in Richmond
for the next three years. But Gen. Grants pho
tograph looks down upon me as write, and
glance at his iron face recalls the siege of Vicks
burg. have often seen finer faces, and heads
which gave assurance of greater intellectual de-
velopment but it is very rarely that human
countenance expresses greater fxedness of pur-
pose, more selfreliance, larger share of that
homely but useful quality known patience
1t would dsappoint any physiognomist if Gen.
Grant should prove to be military genius but
it would be a still greater disappointment if he
should fail to do all that General with his
means may do without the aid of genius. And
this grave, thoughtful, waiting face of General
Grant is a warning and menace. People will
do we'll not to think him defeated because he is
checked-not to be deluded by any apparent re-
Taxation of his effort to accomplish an avowed
purpose.
If President Lincoln should be reelected and
Gen. Grants life be spared, the Commander-in-
Chief and Lieutenant General will ride into
Richmond side by side, or ride over the ground
where Richmond now stands

Is 1T Solve have heard it stated by persons
who have strong reasons for believing it, that
certain Copperheads have been for long while
drilling in the mountains in the vicinity of Lo-
conome Valley. They leave here and elsewhere
with the avowed intention of going hunting, but
their suspicious movements have caused them
to be watched. We do not believe in unneces-
sary excitement or foolish demonstrations, for
we do not believe the secesh dare attempt any
outrages in this neig hborhood. But if it is true
that they are posting themselves in the use of
arms. it is no doubt with the intention of resist
ing the draft From what we have witnessed
ourselves. and from the reports of residents in
the vicinity of the Loconome mountains in the
upper portion of the county, there is no doubt
that there is a regular organized body of traitors
who meet there occasionally. From the antece-
dents of those who are named as their leaders,
there is reason to believe them capable of any
outrage worthy of Quantrel or Morgan.-Napa
Re0istr.

From 1DAHo.-The Sacramento Union is in
formed that DR.. R. w Murphy and James Childs
arrived in Sacramento last Tuesday morning,
from Idaho in II days time, on horseback from
Jordan creek, distance of about GOO miles.
They came by the way of Humboldt, N T. They
report that mining prospects in Idaho are ex-
ceedngly gloomy. Miners and others were leav-
ing In all directions. DR.. Murphy brought with
MN quantity of gold dust from the placer dig
gings on Jordan creek, 90 ounces of which have
oeen assayed and found to be worth only about
Sil per ounce. The travellers report that when
they left there still considerable trouble with
the bannock Indians, who continue hostile.

Qua ralrsDs. The Atlanta, taa.,) Reg.

lister of a recent date says :: {tsS1
Ex-President Pierce, Seymour of Connect
cut. yallandigham. Reed, Wood, Richardson
and hundreds of others are as hostile to the war
as TO Black Republicanism. These men are do
inc us indirect service. They are not openly
and avowedly our friends, nor could we reason
ably ask this Of them. If they did no more than
resist the centralization of Lincoln that far they
are advocating sentiment entitled to our ad-
miration. Such is the course they are pursuing,
and such a course ought to have our cordial ap-
probation. Step by step the same convictions
and the same temper that have braced them in
compact unity and fiery valor, to denounce ultra
Federalism, and New England fanatcism, will
inevitably bring them upon the right ground as
it respects our independence. We confess our
faith in their political principles. We confess
our confidence that eventually these men will
see the whole truth and embrace all its conclu-
sions"
Here is evidence strong enough to convert the
most rabd Copperhead in the country, if there
is speck of loyalty in his heart. Here is proof
of an alliance and strong affiliation between the
secessionists and what is termed the Democratic
party The Register points out, by naming them,
its friends in the North, and tells they are
worthy of its admiration These are the DEM
ocrats who profess so much love for the Union
and hatred to the Administration. Good seces-
sionists says the Register, good that they Will
be ready to acknowledge the independence of
the Confederacy If there is loyal Democrat
in the Copperhead ranks, let him read the above.
If this exposure does not redeem him, and cause
him to spew out modern Democracy, then he is
where he beongs-irredeemably in the rebel
ranks..

FOURTH OF July INcIDENT.-The rebels don't
like Yankee Doodle, as is evidenced by the fol-
lowing, from Richmond paper:
In front of Mahones Division, southeast of
Petersburg, the respective works of the hostile
armies are not more than hundred yards apart.
On the morning of the Fourth, the Yankees
spread new and gorgeous star spangled banners
to the Southern breeze, and their fine bands be-
inc bfnnght well upon the front, made the forest
resonnd with .iheir national airs. Yankee SOL
d;ers manifested their enthusiasm by frequent
cheers. At length the brass band struck up
Yankee Doodle their own peculiar, only
national anthem As the Jig tune was brayed
forth, their enthusiasm arose to sceh pitch thet
they could no longer contain themselves. lney
seemed seized with sudden frenzy, and, ieaping
to the top of their breastworks waved their hats
and cheered, and sprang about, for all the world
like dancing dervishes. Our men looked calmly
over our entrenchments at this insane exhibit
ton, and when the tune ended and the ex-
cited Yankees subsided into their places, mani
tested their appreciation by b-a-a-h that would
have done credit to ten thousand bulls OF Bashan
