Presidents, and especially military ones
are not immortal, and in case of the death

EL The MClelIaI- PendIeton ticket
reminds us Of the unfortunate dog in
Munchausen's story, who, while running
at full speed, came against tree with
such force as to split himself from snou.
to tail. Munchausen says he clapped the
two halves together and they united, bu.
inadvertently two legs were up and two
legs were down. The running gear of the
Chicago ticket was similarly botched, and
now the Copperheads insist on taking the
dog apart.

READ the "Address of the Union State
Central Committee" on the outside of
to-day's paper. 1t discusses the ''peace'
question in such manner as to bring it
within the scope Of the humblest under
standing that the pretensions of the De-
mocracy that the Union can be restored
except through the instrumentality of
vigorous and unceasing war are hollow and
unmeaning.

WE cannot too urgently impress upon
our friends the importance of attending
to the assessments in the different cleo
tion districts. The men who are now in
the field, giving their time and perilling
their lives in defence Of the Government,
must not lose their votes by any neglect
of their friends at home to have them
assessed. Have your son, brother or
neighbor assessed without delay, pay his
county tax of ten cents, and send the evil
dence thereof at once TO him by mail
together with the Union ticket, or list
of the Union nominations Careful atten-
ton to this matter will give US hundreds
of votes in Cambria county that will 9TH
erwise be lost. Union men! do at least
this much for the brave men who are
lighting the battles of the Government.

Weekly Trinity journal., 1864-08-13

CousrY BUILDrSGs.-We are glad to see that
che Board of Supervisors have moved in the
matter of a Court House and Jail for this county.
The present buildings disgrace to our peo-
pie, and the records of the county liable to be
destroyed at any moment. There is now nearly
$500 in the Building Fund in one year More
the amount will be increased to from $40, 900 to
$4,000, very nearly sufficient amount to pro-
vide safe and convenient buildings for county
purposes. We hope the Board will prosecute
the matter vigorously, now that commence
ment is made. The people have willingly paid
additional tax for the purpose, and it is useless
for the money on hand to longer lay idle. Un-
der the Act of Legislature creating Building
Fund it is impossible to use or transfer this
money for any other purpose, except by Lcgis-
lative enactment. There is yet sufficient time
TO burn the brick before winter sets in, and we
can see no good reason why the work may not
be commenced this Fall. See advertisement for
plans and specifications in another column
Weekly Trinity journal., 1864-08-13

A GOLDEN FLAT-IRoN.-Not great while since
the Fellows Brothers, mining on Mule creek, a
tributary of Stuart's Fork, in this county, took
from their claim a solid piece of gold resembling
an article of laundry furniture known as the
fat-iron, and about two-thirds as large as an Or
dinary one, which weighed sirty-sepen ounces.
Pliny, the elder brother, has mined on Mule
creek for several years. while Byron, the younger,
came here year ago, with the intention of re-
naming about that length of time, in order to
accomplish certain object, pecuniarily, and he
did it. He lett for the East early in July, carry
ing the handsome nugget with him. It's dis
covery was only known to a few previous to his
leaving, as he was not desirious that the gen
tlemen of the road " should be made aware of
his good fortune. Himself and the golden
chunk are safely in New York long before this
Many similar rich discoveries have been made
on Mule creek, and yet not more than two COM
panies have ever been employed on it at the same
time. The gold is generally coarse, and the
ground spotted, miners sometimes working weeks
without finding anything, but when it is found
it is by the quantity. A twelve hundred dollar
chunk is no mean remuneration for a day 8
work. Who knows how many similar ones will
yet be unearthed in the Mule creek diggings?

Pure "DExocRAcY. ."-Another Copperhead
rodeo was held at San Francisco, one night last
week Tod Robinson, who sent a son into the rebel
service about year ago, and old broad -mouthed
Zach. Montgomery, two genuine sympathizers
with rebellion, and who, though able lawyers,
have retired from practice because they cannot
do so without taking the oath of allegiance,
were the speakers. To give our readers some
idea of how these fellows who prate about" lib
erty of speech ~ talk, we take the following
reference to Robinson's s harrangue, as he pointed
to large American flag that hung above him
1t was once the synonym of liberty but the
Abolitionists had stolen it also, and it floats
over bastiIes where American freemen were i'm
INJURED for daring to express their sentiments
He told the audience that everything had been
stolen from them but the Constitution. He in
voked every Democrat to stand by that instru-
ment, and cling to it as the shipwreeked marin :
er clings to the last plank, when night mid the
tempest are closing around him."
Bold, incendiary talk, that. Yet we must
ackno ledge that Tod Robinson is more honest
than many who have taken the oath and are vio-
lating it daily. However, we do not argue that
their honesty should deprive them of their just
Deserts cell at the Alcatraz bastile.

FAilUsr.-The Red Bluff 7ndspendent Of the

FArLuRE.-The Red Bluff Independent Of the
9TH refers to the combination which was entered
into on the frst of this month, whereby it
was to be j" laid out as cold as a wet rag, by the
withdrawal of the patronage of the Peace De-
mocraey." Two frms-Sneath l. Boarman, and
Upton b Burt, Withdrew their advertisements,
which deprived the Independent of the sum of
sesenfeen dollars and fifty cents per month. The
eopperhead arms in question took the initiative
of carrying politics into business, and they will
have to put up with the result. Three Union
business firms Immediately increased their ad-
vertising patronage sufficiently to make up the
deficit. Neel Clark, John E. Church, (who by
the way is one of the best business men, and most
upright gentleman in Northern California; and
Fuller Fordham, the three firms in question,
will profit by the silly copperherhead move. 1t
will be remembered, and is shown by the records
Of this county, that Mr.. Boarman, of one of the
firms in question, was the gentleman who, when
the copperhead National, published here last
year ar)languished, and the workman nearly starved,
came to the relief and aided it in living out a
few more months of miserable existence. 1t died,
and so ought any business firm, dependant upon
public patronage which exhibits so much small
mindedness as Sheath Boarman and Upton l.
Burtt have done. 1t is dangerous precedent.

ARM YoURsELvEs.-Every Union man in the
State should purchase for himself frst-rate
rife, or double-barreled shotgun, and Colts
revolver. The probabilities are that before the
end of sixty days these arms will be required
The Copperheads all over the State are arming
themselves for some purpose and their leaders
boast that they have over forty thousand men in
readiness to rise, to resist draft, if one shall
be ordered. They have been purchasing and
stealing whenever they could, and the result is
there is not one Union man in ten in this county,
who owns weapon. Again we say to Union
men, arm yourselves, and be prepared for any
emergency that may arise.-Nsuada Gazette.
Here is the natural result of recent sugges-
tions of Copperhead leaders and organs. And
We consider the advice good for the simple
reason that rebel sympathizers first started the
movement, and if the worst comes to worst we
would have Union men go into the contest on an
equal footing with the I" forty thousand buzzard
shooters" which the Democratic Press and Marys-
vile Express have been calling to the rescue for
the last ninety days. Unless, as was boasted in
the early days of rebellion, one rebel Tor Cop
perhead) can whip quintet of Union men, we
have no fear

SlxGuLAR.-Under the head of i" Reported Ar
rest of more Democrats at San Jose,p Beriah
browns -Press says:
g The conductor Of the passenger train from
San Jose this morning reports that while the
meeting in that town last evening, military, or
other force, entered the room where the meeting
was being held, and arrested several men"
OF course this is stated as another instance of
the despotism of the Lincoln reign by Demo-
cratic " papers, but let us see who these Demo-
Gratis were, and why they were taken in charge.
We find the particulars in the San Jose Mercury
Two officers from El Dorado county had arrived
on Sunday evening with warrants for the arrest
of several accomplices of the gang of robbers
who killed Sheriff Staples shortly after the
Placerville stage robbery. To prevent the pos
sibility of any attempt to rescue the Williams,
Col. Jackson had four companies of infantry in
readiness, in citizens dress, to render assistance
if necessary.
On the following evening at " Democratic ="
mass meeting, John A. Robertson, Joseph Gam
BILE, Henry Jarboe, R. Jordan, S. Freer, J. Freer,
J. P. Hodges, George Cross, Wallace Clenden-
ming (brother of one of the robbers killed the
day after the robbery, John Ingraham and H..
Gately were arrested. Ingraham is nephew of
the leader of the robber band, who in his polite
card written Immediately after the stage robbery,
signed himself " Henry NJ. Ingraham, Captain
Commanding, C. S. A." The Freer brothers
had been indicted for robbery, and the remainder
for murder, by an Ell Dorado county Grand Jury.
They arrested by the civil officers, and not
by order of the Provost Marshal, as nearly every
" Democratic print in the State has asserted
These are the facts in the case, and it seems
strange to us that the Democratic Press should be
so hasty in claiming the outlaws and murderers
as " Democrats" A similar stage robbery has
been recently committed in the San Jose section,
and still later We learn that gang of assassins
had stopped and robbed the Overland stage and
U. S. mail this side of Salt Lake. If Berah
Brown has any regard for his favorite party he
should be more cautious. Such acknowledge
ments, sent abroad, only tend to render the
" Democratic =" party and its advocates more in
|famous-if such thing be possible.

How THE REBELS LOVE THE IRIsH.-While
1rishmen in California are fighting the battles of
secession, just observe how their Southern
friends arc treating the "proletarian clodhop-
pers in Davisdom. The recent Richmond pa
pers " howl" for the expulsion of over q thou
ssad Irish women from that city. They want to
have these unfortunate women driven forcibly
out of Secessia. They are charged with doing
no labor and subsisting upon charity. Their
male friends have doubtless perished in the rebel
ranks, and now these poor women are to be
thrust out upon the world to shift for them
selves s-Ameriean Flag.
