Tnr ONO DEMotRatT.- The resolutions
adopted y :he fearless Democracy Of
OHIO at their late Stale Convention, have
the ring Of the true metal. They are Not
feeble, ambignocs, non commi,tal, Int
strong, emphatic, explicit. They en-.
brace decided approval Of tic celebrated
Virginia and Kentucky resolutions Of
1898 and 1899, and pledge the lives, for
tunes and sacred honor Of the Democracy
to defend the Union and Constitution as
interpreted By those resolutions. One Of
the resolutions is significant as express.
ing the sentiments Of the Western De-
mocracy with regard to the war. Il.
says:
Resolved, That we ere opposed to the prose
cuiinn of the war for the suhpIgation Of States,
or for the purpose Of divcsting them Of their
sovereignty, or infringing or lmpairing their
constitutional rights; and being sa'isti.d that
its continued prosecution for such objects will,
in the end, prove the utter destruction Of our
civil liberty, we, therefore demand The imme-
diate Inauguration Of peaceable meats to attain
an honorable settlement and the restoration u
the Union under the Constitution.
The resolutions were adopted without
dissenting voice and amid loud and pro-
longed cheers. In our opinion they fore,
shadow the platform of the Democratic
National Convention. With such plat
form wo can enter the contest enthus;as-
ticaliy, confident OF success.

SrRUcK IT RIcH.-A few weeks ago, friend
informs Us, party of miners concluded to
prospect an abandoned claim, near Irish Flat,
and In few days, to their agreeable surprise,
struck large and rich gold bearing quartz
vein. They have taken out some rich speci.
mems, and are running tunnel into the hill to
tap the vein at another point. How often do
we hear Of instances OF this kind in California.
In hundreds of cases the early miners toiled
and struggled merely to clear away the rubbish
fer their more lucky successors. Some, per.
haps discouraged, or tempted by glowing &C.
counts of rich mines at distance, left good
claims and wandered off in search of better
ones, without discovering them. Thousands
Of dollars have been expended in Nevada Ter.
ritory in prospecting worthless leads, while
really good ones in California have been neg.
lected for want Of capital to develop them
The people have been badly humbugged and
victimized by purchasing wildcat stock in
Washoe, ard the experience of the past should
teach thcm TO be cautious in the future, and
not be deceived BY extravagant stories of the
extent and richness of lodes which have no
existence. A number Of veins have been dis
covered and worked In our county within the
last six months, and majority of them promise
TO pay handsomely. They are mostly owned
by working men, not by spectators. which ac
counts for the little excitement they have
Gu used.

portion is contained in stratum, varying
from ope to four inches in thickness,
which is valued at from two to three dol

There are now five men employed in sink

CINCINNATI, Dec. l9-The Gazette Puo,
lished the following account Of the battle OF
the 10th:
The day opened cloudy. with indications Of
rain. There was dense fog at an early
hour, but this soon cleared away, and at .
o'clock we were able to determine the enemys
position. :,
During the night Of the 18th, Hood with
drew both wings from the river, and contrac-
tee his lines everywhere. He was holding
strong position along Granny Whitehills, and
his centre was protected BY two lines Of en-
trenehments. 81
Our troops were disposed in the following
order: Wilson's cavalry war on the extreme
right Scho6eld's Twenty-third Corps, con-
sisting of COUGHS divisions, at first held the
reserve, but before the main battle opened he
had taken position on the LEFT Of the cavalry,

"IAM GLAD TO SEE Yor."-There are
more lies contained in these few words than
in all the written speeches of law shop, and
vet the expression is on the tip-end Of al
most every ones tongue. Take an instance:
The madam has pickles or sausages to make,
and is up to her ears in pots and kettles,
when Mrs. Somebody enters with her six
little ones all dressed as neatly as il they
had been for six months imprisoned in
bandbox. "Bless me, I'm extremely glad to
see youw It's Wrapper; it's downright
lie. In her heart she wished her and her
brood to the - we liked to said it. When
we heard person say, "Do call again and
see me-" it sounds so much like "Jane, show
the gentleman the way out" There is no
such thing as pGi,teness' oe VIVA. 'Se ne
n hypocrite. The true characteristic of sin
cerity is bluntness, and a sincere man will
never have the back ache.

A Big ScARE.-The " Democratic" mem
bers of Congress, got a bad fright last We'd
nesday. Ten thousand copies each Of Gen.
Grants and Gen. McClellan's reports were
ordered printed, when Mr.. Washburne mis-
chievously proposed to have both documents
bound up together, in one volume The
idea was very distasteful to the Copperheads.
They want to distribute McClellan's report
as campaign document, but are far from
willing to have it sent out in such strong con-
trast with Grants. The latter, brief and
soldierlike, tells of victories won by skill,
dash and daring; the former, rambling, in
coherent and voluminous, is u tedious string
of excuses for opportunities wasted, and dis
asters needlessly incurred. Moved by the
piteous entreaties Of poor little Macs admi-
rers, Mr.. Washburne finally gave way, a
Union member remarking that it would be a
shame to put Grants in such company.

.5, A. Exchange Of wives.

Tom Jones and his particular friend,
Charley Brown, had long been courting two
Of the most beautiful damsels in the village
Of T, and having brought their love mat
ters to the much longed for climax, deter.
mined to be married at the same time, and
journey together until the honeymoon should
have lost some Of its sweets and business de-
manded their return. The double knot was
tied, and the happy quartette started, and
and were whirled along over the rails, until
"the shades Of night were falling fast, and
they had reached the village of C.. Here
they put up at the best hotel, as matter Of
course, and after very sociable dinner visit
ed the theatre in frame Of mind well calcu-
lated to appreciate the mimic love Of Romeo
and Juliet. Returning late, they took sup
ner. and Tom and Charley drank the health
Of their own and each others wives, when
the ladies, with much blushing and simper..
ing, remarked that it was near morning, and
retired to the assigned places of repose.
Then the grooms drank their own healths
for time, and bidding each other good nighttj
sought their respective spouses OF day old.
"Let me see," said Tom, "your number
is SO and mine is g."
"No, it amt, but Just the reverse, old fell
low. See here" and he pulled card from
his pocket which the clerk had given him,
and showed the number. CANT that 66 !"
"Look at mine" And Tom revealed his
also. You are looking at yours upside
down."
Pshaw just as il can't read figures
You must think I'm drunk"
Now any one knows how difficult it is 70
decide in such q matter, and how easy GO
may be taken for SO, or rice versa. The dis,
pute was therefore somewhat protracted, and
the aid of the clerk had to be solicited before
it could be satisfactorily settled. He, also,
was sorely puzzled, and perhaps at that late
hour somewhat afflicted with disease, COM
mon in the West at that day, If not now, and
familiarly known as Bourbon on the Brain"
But decide he must, and, hit or miss, told
Tom he was right-that his room was 66 and
his friends 80, and wishing pleasant dreams,
departed.
Up 20 the worthy grooms. Their rooms
were on the same story-Tom's being at one
end and Charley's at the other Of long,
dimly lighted hall. They shook hands at the
head Of the stairs and separated. Tom en-
tered his. The light had been turned down,
so that all was semi-darkness. Charley did
the same, and found the state Of affairs SINH
lar. Both were nice, modest young men, and
after glance at form rolled carefully up in
the snowy sheets, SO that but rosy face was
visible, proceeded to disrobe. On were
thrown coat, vest, neck-je, boots and pants,
and gently they crept to the bedside, where a
similar impulse seems to have entered the
brain Of each, and drawing the dear little
head from the downy pillow toward them,
they kissed the downy lips with infinite gusto:
A pair Of soft arms were wTeathed round
either neck-their warm kisses were repaid.
"Dear Tom" and "dear Charley" were
murmured soft and sweetly into their ears.
