SPURIOUS USIoNIsM. While the awful
shEurdity of vast and bloody war is be-
ing enacted for the obviously impossible
object Of restoring the Union, and while
the lesser absurdity Of terming the party
whicn upholds such war as its sole mode
of attaining that object Union party v
is still bcguiling thousands Of unrehectihg 6
neoTtho utter Salsiayof both asSumP:ions
rs constantly shown in the spirit ofintense
and malevolent hatred which character
izcs every expression Of this spurious
Union party towards the Southern people.
The idea of uniting with people for
whom such bitter malice and implacable
hatred is cherished would appear prepos-
ferrous to everybody but Loyal Lacquer
or lunatic. A pretty Union party. which
denies the equality Of the States, and de-
clares that the Union shall not be restored
save on conditions which render its resto-
ration impossible. Every prominent lead
er of the Abolition party has proved him
self traitor to the Union-has worked
for its dissolution, and, to use the lam
guage Of Stephen A. Douglas, "urged
war as q means of accomplishing DIS
union" How supremely absurd, then,
for the Administration party to claim to
be Union party.

FREMoNrERS. We learn that the Fre-
mont men are active and determined, and
are taking steps to bring out q full electo-
raj ticket in this State, which will serious
ly affect old Abe'S chances. The breach
in the Abolition party is wide and widen
ing; the leaders are frightened, and are
endeavoring to conciliate their erring Frc-
mont brothers; but they do not meet
with much encouragement. They find
that the prospects Of John Charles arc
not altogether hopeless; that he has ma
nv warm friends that can neither be Sc
duced nor intimidated that they are ac-
tuated by principle and not disposed to
sacrifice their chief to accommodate Mr..
Lincoln. They are in earnest and will
stand by their favOrite and fight to the
bitter end. They are not politicians, not
Office. seekers, not changelings, watching
for the strong side, but earnest Abolition
lists, who believe in and cherish the creed
of their party, and have abiding faith in
the sincerity of their favorite. Such men
are not easily diverted from their purpose,
and all they want to make their organza.
ton formidable is a few active and able
leaders.

STATE OF CALIFORNIA, County of El Dorado
Before OGDEN SoUIREs. County Judge, at

2. Pierce against II. 8. Hulburd-This Is a
proceeding to obtain peremptorv writ OF man
damus Pierce is Supervisor and asks the writ
to compel Hulburd, Auditor, TO draw bis war
rant on the Treasurer for $20n, Us compensa-
tion for his services as Supervisor for the three
months ending July lst 1864.
The question for consideration is, whether
the Supervisors are entitled to a salary as pro-
vided in an Act entitled "An Act t. extend the

ot 1868 is amendatnrv Of 1.-The Act OF lsj3,

THIsVEs ABoUr.--Several houses in our city
have been entered within the week BY fellows
OF the light-hngersd persuasion, who are iu.
dustriously "plyiDR their vocation" On Sat.
urdsy night the Bowman House was entered,
the till rubbed, and the pockets of several Of
shc boarders lightened of their contents. On
Sunday morning thief walked softly into the
sleeping room of the proprietor of the Orleans
Hotel, and took from his pocket upwards Of
MY dollars in hard cash-the proprietor Sleep
ing soundly during the performance. His wife
awnke just as the thief was leaving the room
gave the alarm, but it was too late the bird had
flown. Other houses, private residence, have
also been robbed during the week. Our citi.
sens must keep their eyes open and doors
locked, if they wish to save themselves from
such disagreeable visits. Our Police are vigi.
lant, but their beats are large, and not easily
watched.

FoRNEY on GARRISON AND PHLLIrs.-
Ever since he embraced Abolitionism
Forney has been particularly sweet" on
the leaders of his party, and, of course,
violently abusive of Democrats. He is q
Hessian, every ready to sell himself to the
highest hidler. Having recently said
some complimentary things of Garrison
and Phillips, the Philadelphia Age quotes
his opinion of them, as expressed very
few years ago, thus:
Abolitonism marks its career not only by
tnrclbIe resistance to the statutes Df Congress.
but by filling Christian denominations with
discnrd and unhappiness, by giving prominence
to Intdels like Garrison, and to traitors like
Wendell Phillips"
Queer, isn't it2-that the patriot For.
ney is now following in the footsteps of
" in6dels like Garrison and traitors like
Wendell Phillips?

BRouGur TO TERNS.-HOw the Penn
sylvania Reserves carried their point is
illustrative Of the great motive power
which controls every act Of the Admins
tration. 1t sacrifices everything for par
ty. 1t utterly disregards, in dealing with
the public, propriety, reason and justice,
and only considers whether its acts will
benefit the party it represents. 1t has
removed and traduced popular and sue
cessful Generals, solely on partisan
grounds. The Reserves knew its weak
point, attacked it and forced it 20 surren'
der, Says the Washington correspondent
of the ST. Louis Republican
1.-THE departure of the War Department from
its intention Of holding all troops until they
bad served the United States three years was
brought about in this case more bv political
considerations than any other. The Reserves
did proclaim very openly that if they were re
tanned beyond the time they considered them
selves bound To serve, they would remain, but
they would not fight. This threat appeared TO
have but little effect with the War Department;
but the disatitcted veterans then put in much
more: available argument. by letting IT he
known at headquarters here, that they would
make their votes felt against Mr.. Lincoln or
the Republican nominee next November, IN
case they were not discharged at the time they
desired. This brought the War Department to
terms"
The mountain Democrat., 1864-07-16

STRONGLY STArED.-In alluding to the
abuse hraped upon Fremont by the or
gans of the Administration, the Chicago
Times forcibly says: :" If the Republican
press speaks truly Of Fremont now, it
spoke most falsely OF him eight years ago
If We believe it now he is about as small
potatoes and as few in hill as any man
who ever made pretensions to the Presi-
dental chair. If we believe it then, he is
TT to rank with the heroes of any age
Is Fremont little or grcat2-a fool or q
Solon?-an ass or Washingtong He is
one or the other, as the Republican press
speaks truly now, or spoke truly eight
years ago."
The mountain Democrat., 1864-07-16

DRAWING 1T MILD.-A number of the
loyal journals in the Atlantic States are
handling the great Union splitter without
gloves. They have discovered that the
leader Of their party is very small pota.
toes, totally untitled by experience, edu.
cation or judgment to conduct the affairs
of a great nation in times so perilous as
the present. George Wilkes, the loyal
editor of the New York Spirit of the
Times, thus ScornfullY speaks Of Lincoln'S
Administration
"Never did an equal degradation fall upon
this nation and the marvel is, It was submit
ted to at the hands Oea humorous clown, who
is not chartered with one attribute Of terror.
In the bands Of BOnaparte or Cromwell
such despotism finds . means Of sppeasIng the
imagination. The dignity Of the tyrant com.
pensates for the humiliation Of bis vassals but
our picture is one common scene Of shame"
The mountain Democrat., 1864-07-16

DEscRIPrroS OF the STAGE RoBsERs.-Ths
landlady of the Somerset House gives the fol-
lowing description of the villains who robbed
the stages and murdered Staples. and who have
not yet been arrested. They took break fast at
her house on the morning after the robbery.
and after they shot Staples they remained some
time and she observed them attentively: John

HIGHwAYMEN.-A correspondent at Indian
OigRinRs, writing under date of the 18TH. says /:
alt is hot. dry and dusty. Mining operations
are almost suspended IN consequence of the
scarcity OF water, the bitches being almost
dry. But little work is being done on the
copper leads in this neighbOrhoOd. Times are
hard, business dull. and money scarce, but we
hope matters will improve in the tall. A man
uamed Hall was stopped BY two highwsymeu.

ago, aud relieved OF a few dOllars-All the mon.
ey be had A man whose namo could not
learn, was also stopped, by the same scoundpls
IL is supposed, on the 10th, between Fail lsy
and FiddletOwn. He was Fat broke and, Of
course, the robbers got nothing from him.
This is q poor neighborhood for robbers to
operate in, if they wish to make raise the
only advantages it possesses are excellent hid
ing places. The robbers are Greasers, and il
is believed they belong to a large and we'll or
ganised band. whose feld of operations extend
from the San Joaquin tesXirginia City"
The mountain Democrat., 1864-07-16

WAR CLAIMs.-The Solicitor of the
War Department, Mr.. Whiting. in late
letter, estimates the war claims against
the Government to be hundreds of mill
ions of dollars" Add this to our i'm
mense debt, all of which the people will
have to pay, and how large is it9 When
it is taken into consideration, too, that
our national debt is increasing at the rate
of four millions 8 day, the prospect is
anything but cheering. War - an ex-
pensive luxury and the sooner it is ended
the bSttcr, il the people do not wish to be
crushed by taxes. Whiting adds:
81 look upon the army of claimants as really
quite as formidable to The Government as the
army Of the Rnbels''
The mountain Democrat., 1864-07-16

CHANGE OF SENTIMENT. Public Sen,i.
ment in the Atlantic States, with regard
TO the war, is rapidly changing getting
to be decidedly Of the copperhcad per
suasion. The Boston Traveller is the Lead
ing Administration organ in New Eng.
land, and it, doubtless aware Of serious
mobilization Of views among the people Of
the North, comes out boldly for peace. =.
This is significant. Commenting upon
statement that Gov. Vance, of North
Carolina, was cooperating with other
Southern Governors for a general conven.
ton OF all the States to adopt peace mca-
Sures, the Traveller remarks:
"At any time since the first battle of Bull
Run, movement like this, made bv half
duzen influential statesmen, ,eiIhrr at the North
or at the South, would have stopped this blo"dv
revolution. To such convention, the final
settlement must be Submitted. however long
the war may continue, and il might rs well bp
done now, while the armies rest in their pres.
ent positions, as after more bloody and fruit
less battles. We have no doubt that at this
time, such convention would be able to pre-
sent propositions hch would be ratified by AN
0verw whelming majority Of the people of every
Northern and Southern State. There would
he malcnntents in both sections nf the Union,
but they would BIZ comparatively few 10 num-
bers, and utterly powerless"
The mountain Democrat., 1864-07-16

DISHONEST. We frequently hear men
who run with the Abolition machine en-
phatically declare that they are Demo-
Gratis and indignantly deny that they are
Aboitionists Are they sincere or. hon
est? Can a man be Democrat and repu.
date Democratic principles? Can man
be opposed to Aboltionisis when he in.
dorscS their Platform and supports their
nnnAinGes ~" democrats believe the Abo.
litioniStS are primarily and chiefly re.
SpOnSible for this horrible war. If they
don't believe that, then all their snlrmn
warnings of thirty years against Aboli-
tionism were gratuitous and hypocritical
Democrats believe that the Abolition par.
ty is reasonable party, and the record
of that party proves that their belief is
well-founded. Leaders Of that party got
up, circulated, signed and presented petit
tiOEs to Congress for dissolution of the
Union, and leaders of that party in Con-
gress-Chase, Hale and Seward-voted
for them. No Democrat ever signed,
circulated,p presented or voted for petitions
of a like character. The principles of the
two parties differ widely, and men who
claim to BE- Democrats and yet vote with
the AbolitloniStS, are dishonest
The mountain Democrat., 1864-07-16

SrANroN's DIsPATcuES-'Stahton is
Catching it" from all quarters for his
famous war dispatches; and it is s'gn'n-
can't that the censure comes the strongest
from the organs of his party. COrrespon-
dents agree that bis dispatches are totally
unreliable, and events have proved them
so. 1t is a pretty hard time on truth
" hen a prominent Government official
telegraphs unblushing falsehoOds to the
people. Either he is humbugged himself
or he wishes to humbug the people, and
in either case he disgraceS the position he
occupies. What the people want, what
they are entitled to, and what an honest
and respectable Administration would
take PRIDE and pleasure in furnishing them,
is correct news from the army not tiatter-
ing but false reports. On this subject
the Cleveland Herald, an Administration
organ, says:
"It is needless to observe that news is dsled
out to us in II batch Of confused fragments, the
only effect Of which is to obscure the truth and
prevent any one from forming correct judg
ment as to the military position. We musI
say, however. that if we are to choose between
the official statements made by Stanton. and
the accounts of newspaper correspondents, We
should unhesitatiugly take the latter. EveI
since Stanton published that Lee was in ful
retreat through SpOtIsylvania Court HnuSe,an
Hancock after him, we have read bis dispatche:
Just a. we would read the story of Sinbad. tht
Sailor, or the adventures Of Lemuel Gulliver
as merely entertaining fiction"
