such is the celebrity of their movements, and
the summary manner in which they dispose

ASSUMES THE REsPoNsIBILITY.-In the Hum
boldt Times of Jan. 9th appeared an article con-
tanning some structures in regard to the result of
the Indian fight near Bald mountain. Captain
Ousey, commanding company B, .'Mountain-
GERS, replies to the article in letter from Fort
Castor, Jan. Ilth, which appears in the Times of
the 10th, and from which we make the following
extract
~ left this Post at half past eight o'clock on
the evening of the 18th of December, with ft-
teen men with Surgeon Phelps to reinforce
Lieut.. Middleton / arrived at the Digger Ranch
on the following morning about sunrise, and not
finding Lieut.. Middleton any of his command,
and not knowing where he had gone fell back
a short distance and remained quiet until about
IL o'clock A. NJ. when was joined by Lieut..
Beckwith with detachment of twenty-four men
of Company A. c. NJ, and Lieut.. Hale with ff-
teen men of Company B, with the howitzer. The
Lieutenants informed they had seen Indians
the road, which fact induced me to make the
attack Immediately, instead of waiting till the
next morning, so that might have whole day
for it-because | was confident that
the Indians learned of the approach of the
howitzer, they would leave their position. So
we took position, and the first shot was fired
about half-past twelve clock, NJ. Lieut.. Beck
with on the right with twenty-five men Lieut..
Hale on the center with twenty men. and ten
men with the howtZer the left, making a
total of ifty-four men. BY four O'Clock p. NJ.
the ammunition for the howt1er was all ex-
hausteL. We had no axes, crowbars or any
thing with which we could successfully charge
the houses, without which, the attempt would
have been more than madness. About clock
P. NJ ten of Lieut.. Middleton men arrived from
camp at Bald mountain.
As for who to blame and who responsible,
if any one is, why | am responsible. There ~ds
one way to keep them from escaping, that v IS
to charge the houses and that was the only
way as there was lagoon surrounded and in
terspersed with tall grass, within thirty feet of
the houses, through which they might have crept
unobserved entirely

The statement taken from the Richmond En-
quirer that the mother OF the wife of the Presi-
dent was in that city, recently, is a mistake
The mother of Mrs. Lincoln died when she was
three years old,-Sdnta Cruz Sentinel.
Did the writer mean to say that Mrs. Lincoln S

There has been so much written in regard to

The Planting Of the Apple Tree.
by WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT.


Come, let US plant the apple-treeh
Cleave the tough greensward with the SPADE
Wide let its hollow bed be made:
There gently lay the roots. and there
Slit the dark mould with kindly care,
And press it er them tenderly,
As round the sleeping infants feet
We softly fold the cradle sheet;
So plant we the apple-tree.
What plant we in the apple-tree
Buds, which the breath Of Summer days
Shall lengthen into leafy sprays;
Boughs. where the thrush with crimson breast
Shall hunt and sing and hide her nest.
We plant upon the sunny lea
shadow for the noontide hour,
A shelter from the Summer shower,
When we plant the apple tree,
What plant in the apple-tree
Sweets for hundred fowery springs,
To load the May-winds restless wings,
When from the orchard-row, he pours
Its fragrance through our open doors;
world of blossoms for the bee;
Flowers for the sick girls silent room;
For the glad infant sprigs of bloom,
We plant the apple-tree.
What plant we in the apple-tree,
Fruits that shall swell in sunny June
And reiden in the August noon.
And drop, gentle airs come by,
That fan the blue September sky;
While children, wild with noisy glee,
shall scent their fragrance as they pass,
And search for them the tufted grass
At the foot Of the apple-tree.
And when above this apple-tree
The Winter stars are quiyerng bright.
And winds 90 bowling through the night.
Girls, whose young eyes o'erfow with mirth,
Shall peel its fruit by cottage hearth.
And guests in prouder homes shall see
Heaped with the orange and the grape,
As fair as they in tint and shape,
The fruit Of the apple-tree.
The frutage Of this apple-tree
Wind and our flags of stripe and star
Shall bear to Coasts that lie afar,
Where men shah wonder at the view,
And ask in what fair grove they grew;
And they who roam beyond the sea
Shall look, and think Of childhoods day,
And long hours passed in Summer play
In the shade of the apple-tree.
Each year shall give this apple-tree
broader flush Of roseate bloom,
A deeper maze Of vcrdate gloom,
And loosen when the frost-clouds lower,
The crisp brown leaves in thicker shower:
The years shall come and pass but
Shall hear no longer where we lie,
The Summers songs the Autumn's sigh
In the boughs of the apple-tree.
And time shall waste this apple-tree.
Oh. when its aged branches throw
Thin shadows on the sward below,
Shall fraud and force and iron will
Cypress the weak and helpless still
What shall the tasks of mercy be-
Amid the tolls. the strifcs, the tears
OF those who live when length Of years
Is wasting this apple-tree
who planted this old apple-trce!"
The children of that distant day
Thus to some aged man shall sayy
And gazing on its messy stem,
The gray-haired man shall answer them
"A poet of the land was he.
IL, III. IL. h,tf, Il tip,as
'Tis said he made some quaint old rhymes
On planting the apple-tree."

UNJusr.-A bill is before the Legislature having
for its object the separation of the offices OF
Sheriff and Tax Collector of Sacramento county.
The movement inaugurated by the enemies
of Mr.. McClatchy, the Union Sheriff elect, but
there is little reason to believe that it will pass,
Judging from the following reference to it by the
Sacramento correspondent of the San Francisco
Erening Journal: @ The people of Sacramento
county do not desire any change in the present
system for the collection of taxes. 1t has been
tried for fourteen years and is satisfactory. The
parties who urging the passage of this bill,
cannot obtain the signatures of one hundred men
in this city and county, who pay taxes upon five
hundred dollars worth of property, to petition
for its passage.

The invasion OF Kentucky, BY JOIN BoE-
GAN, noticed IN yesterdays dispatches, is ex-
oiung great deal Of apprehension as to its
purposes aud possible consequences TIE
Cincinnati Gazette says
Yesterday morning they suddenly made
their appearance on the Central Railroad,
near Paris, aud in the afternoon they took
possession Of Cynthians, having, during The
day, destroyed bridge and trestle work be-
tween the two points Simultaneously they
interrupted travel on the road between Frank
fort and Louisville and are also reported to
have cut the road between Lexington and
Nieholssville The force is estimated at
twenty Eve hundred How they got into the
State is not known but the supposition is that
while General Burbridge was watching one
gap, they gave them the slip and entered
through another, leaving the Union forces !ar
in the rear.
The Gasette continues
Precisely what this invasion means we arc
not now prepared TO say Il mag be intended
for something more than a mere horse steal
ing operation Itis the opinion Of prominent
Union men Of that State that ID does mean q
great deal more; that State officials not only
do not object, but favor 1t; that this is the be-
ginning Of movement to put into operation
the plan Of Lieutenant Governor Jacobs for
cutting the communications Of Sherman and
forcing his army TO retreat from Georgia. that

Important Suggestion aS TO the
Democratic National COnven
7 lgebRh

TO the Editors ofthe N. Y. Express;
As one Of the delegates from the State Of
New York to the Democratic Convention to
be held on the 4th OF July next ! am anxious
to submit to those who will bo members Of
that Convention suggestion in relation TO
our action Lett US agree on a platform OF
principl but let us make no nomination OF
President and Vice President. Let us then,
recommend TO the people OF the several
States that they nominate electoral tickets
pledged TO support our platlorm--but cam
mitted to no person as President or Vice
President-as the Democratic candidate -
Let US leave to the Presidential electors in
each State the nomination and election Of the
individuals
In this way we adopt the theory Of the
trainers of this Government, and we endorse
the doctrine Of State rights. By this mode
we will concentrate the whole opposition to
the present Lincoln administration OF the
Government
We will also be enabled by this mode, to
give an opportunity to the friends of Grant
aud Mcclellan, of the War Democrats and
the Peace Democrats, to give their united
support to an electoral ticket Andabove all
we would avoid having the contest result in
personal attack on our candidates, in
stead Of our being the attacking party and
assailing the iollies, the errors, and the crimes
of the Lincoln Administration
