A DISoUISITION.


The utter dearth Of topics Of local interest
whereon to dilate and I'LL our columns, has
caused us to make diligent search among the
columns of our contemporaries, seeking, 1t
possible, to find some great cause Of quarrel
row and general disturbance. No such 'h'nS
offers. A universal calm and apathy seems
TO have succeeded the general tur'noi' cause"
by the Constitutional question The Sie'oFS

10 avoid any ailusioD to the Waterloo tna'
no mo, IN the 18th of January. Our expert
.D.s i bitter, and like Obadiah Oldbuck We
have resolved to turn over new leaf and put
an \ clean shirt. We have come to the con-
elusion tina; on the grea; Constitutional qucS-
tons, somebody's head is not level. 1t Is
either us or the great unterrihed mass of the
community. Finding our views run athwar'
hawse Of public opinion, we haul down our
flag and take in our sign. From and after
this date we shall keep our fingers and toes
GU. of the filthy pool of politics. conyen-
tons may be packed, Judges may soil the
ermine, political hacks may bamboozle the
people, and the great political whirlpool may
yyrate. Pcrched upon the Hottest rail Of the
fence We shall sit, and calmly view the
wrangling and contention that shall! disturb
the peace and harmony Of the political world.
We shall devote such energies as we possess
to the dissemination of general information,
and leave the management of the political
machinery of the Government to those whose
forte lies in that direction. The old quarrel
between Stewart, Hardy, Judge North and
their several prosecutors and defenders, still
occupies the columns Of our eotcmporaries.
In that quarrel we take no interest, and nci-
,her do we believe that it is matter of any
general interest. 1t is dirty job at the best.
Somebody is u rascal, but who the culprit is
nobody knows aud nobody cares. Let it
drop.

ToBAcco IN SAN JOAQUIN CouNTY.-The
extent to which tobacco is cultivated in this,
county, elevates the tweed" to an Importance
among the products of the soil which few
have heretofore been willing to acknowledge.
The northern and the southern portions Of
the county have contended for superiority of
quality, and each have demonstrated without
arriving at any conclusion upon this point,
that this is a tobacco-growing region, and
that its production may be accomplished with
profit by all who rightly understand the mode
best adapted to this latitude. One farm on
the San Joaquin river, l0i miles from this
city, owned BY Duncan Brothers, has pro-
duced during the past year about 900 pounds
which has been pronunced to be of an excel
lent quality. 1t required no artificial process
in curing such as is demanded in nearly all
tobacco growing countries.-Stockton hide

1T Is NOT FAIR.-A large number of min
ing companies have become incorporated in
Gold Hill District within few months. In
many instances the corporators have given
US the job of printing their stock books, for
which consideration we kindly thank them.
In some others, the persons having charge of
the primary business of ncwly-incOrporated
companies have sent to Sacramento or San
Francisco to get their stock printed-pTint
ed, too, in style far inferior to our style Of
doing that kind of work-merely because
they could have it done few dollars cheaper.
For publishing notices of these incorpora-
tons, locations and other particulars con-
corning their mines, we do not get cent
We know that mining companies, as they
progress in their operations, like very well
occasionally to be noticed in the newspapers
near at home. We could name the compa-
mics who have thus acted "Penny wise and
pound foolish" towards our enterprise, and
shall make small black mark to their credit
and also against as many as choose to do
likewise. If job-printing Offices in Sacra-
mento or San Francisco can bring before the
business world the mining operations going
on about Gold Hill better than the NEWS
they are welcome to the "glOry."

THE ScOTs CLAIMING GENERAL GRANT.
Perhaps it is not generally known that this
gallant soldier is a native of Kirriemuir, but,
nevertheless, such is the case. General
Grants father was once grieve on Kinordie,
then farmer of Ballhail, and latterly manu-
facturer in kirriemuir The General him
self, however, had some of the young Noryal
in him, and disdained the occupation Of feed
ing his fathers hocks, and sighed to follow
to the field some warlike lord. Heaven not
seeming to hastily grant his longing DESIRES
he enlisted in the Life Guards but not find
ing them to suit his ambitious views, he
"leyanted," and now assumes the cooked hat
in the Federal army. On hearing another
praise him as a thorough soldier, an old man
who knows him well, remarked: "Deed, he
may weel be guild fechter, for he was GLIDE
at it fin he was laddie. (Scot.)

WurRyAs, Abraham Lincoln, President

Ina, the secession Of the several States of
the South and the organization of the Con-
fetieracy, where acts OF those who he styles
the leaders of the people, in contradistinc-
ton to the people themselves, and was not
the free and spontaneous choice Of the peo-
pie and, whereas, in order to carry out this
idea he has recently issued his proclamation,
in which he endeayors to seduce the patriotic
soldiers of our army and the citizens OF tins
ancient Commonwealth from their love OF
country and incite them TO the abandonment
of those duties which devolye upon them us
descendants of the noble and chlvalrous
ancestry of IS, in the present Strug-

chosen BY the people in accordance with the

SHE WILL PAY.-England Will pay costs
and call it quits. If she be held responsible
for the depredations of her pirate ship, the
Alabama land that she will be so held
nothing is more certain), she will hagsie
about the price while, and finally pay the
bill to the uttermost farthing. Napoleon
says that European Congress is the only
means of preventing 4 continental war; and
our Government says, not by boasting, or in
words, but by its acts, that the only mode by
which England can keep peace between her
self and the United States, is by paying the
full cost Of the property and ships she has
destroyed by her AlRbaH,as- No American
Administration will compromise this matter.
Great Britain must pay or fight. The choice
is with herself. She has been the aggressor,
foully and most unfriendly, and the conse-
quences be upon her own head. Our Secre-
tary Of Foreign Affairs is distinct enough
upon this proposition to suit the American
mind, and ne be. gives voice TO the national
thoughts and desires. When peace be estab-
is he'd in these United States, England will
pay up rather than have attachment issued.

wHAL1So.-Duringt the recent propitious
weather our Bay whalemen have been sue
cessful. One of the companies secured
within the brief space of FIVE days, six Of the
monsters, yielding some $4,000. Mighty
columns Of curling darkness by day and
writhing fame by night shooting heaven
ward from the funeral pyres upon the beach.
have been as constant and unremitting as
ever characterized the sacred affairs Of the
Ghebers. It has been trying season for
whales. The Portuguese whalemen Of the
bay are unsparing in their warfare against
the great fish for the reason that one of that
ilk in the olden time, through an over OH
ciousness in behalf of that ancient navigator,
Captain Jonah, hurried in ballast from port
in the upper Mediterranean out through the
Pillars of Hercules and so around the Afri-
can continent to within brief space Of Nine
veh-making the trip in three days. Time,
developing q more comprehensive system of
geography, has served to fix the credit of the
discovery of the Cape of Good Hope upon old
Jonah. thus taking the eonceit out Of Bartol-
omeo Diaz, whose claim to its discovery was
so long acquiesced in, to the great joy and
pride Of his countrymen.-lHoaterey Gazette.

The Central and the Western PA.
.s7-I- csSc Ro;lroaA


The Stockton b.dependent has the follow
ing in regard to the railroad interests of the
State:
The movement on foot for the repeal Of the
law granting bonus Of $40, 900 per mile to
the Central Pacific Railroad contemplates
a simple act of justice to San Francisco and
the valleys of the San Joaquin and Santa
Clara. Sacramento is not the natural tcrml-
nus of the great Pacific Railway. San Fran
cisco is. And it is with good deal of i'm
pudence that we are told by Sacramento,
that, whether the road is made to touch at
that point or not, San Francisco must IN the
end have branch of her own. Everybody
knows that already, and knowing 1t, the
members of the Legislature from San Fran
cisco and the southern part Of the State will
be very short of their duty to their constitu-
ents and to the general interest, If they do
not put in for the $4,000 mile bonus.
If the road is built at all by capital exist
ing in this State, it is very well known that
San Francisco must furnish 1t, and 1t ought
to be equally well known that she will not
furnish capital to build road that Is to stop
at Sacramento, and leave the metropolis out
in the cold. II Sacramento Is wise She Will
throw no obstacle in the way OF the repeal OF
the law; for n road from San Francisco round
the Bay, ana through TINS CITY W Sne EASTERN
line of the State would necessarily run so
close to Sacramento as to make 1t easy for
that city to connect with it by branch road.
1t is true such an arrangement would cut
Sacramento off from being stopping place
for e'trade and travel of Nevada Territory;
but it is not in the fitness Of things that the
interests of San Francisco and one half the
State should be made subordinate to the
hopes of the Capital. What this whole State
and Nevada Territory want, is railway over
the mountains as soon as possible, to cheaper
and increase trade and travel. II SacranRn-
to, in connection with Placer or Ell Dorado,
is able to build that road before San Francis:
CO, Santa Clara, Alameda, San Joaquin and
FL Dorado, then the Central Pacific route
ought to have the bonus; if not, the bonus
should either be given to the Western route,
or left open to competition. Let the Legis-
laturc repeal the law and thereby hasten the
construction Of railroad. Our opinion is
that with reasonable State aid, the Western
road can be completed to the deep snow-belt
in two years. Could SACRAMENTO, without
the aid Of San Francisco, do it in ten?

NOTABLE CoSTRADIcrIoSs.-Foreigners
unacquainted with the term Freedom" as
variously used by the copperheads, must be
struck with the paradoxicd manner in which
j, frequently appears in political disputations.
For instance, long communication IS be-
fore us, in the Marysville Express, signed
az Hal" wherein the writer in one breath de-
nouuces Lincoln as tyraat because he has
by proclamation freed slaves. The South is
frequently represented as gallant people,
striking for freedom, and for the preservation
of sLareTy. We can imagine an Intelligent
stranger puzzling his wits TO unrayel con-
tradiction ike this: The despot Of America
in declaring the freedom of slaves, has
done more to break down the wallsiguarding
good and free government than all the ele-
ments that were ever brought against it BY
BY any prince, king or poteutate."

CoLD AND SUFFERING. = The Denver
(Colorado) Ne,os, of January 18th, notices
the arrival Of Major Fillmore and Captain
Anderson at that place from Camps Collins
and Curtis, and states that the deep SHOWS
and cold weather were so severe that four of
the Majors escort had either frozen feet or
hands when they arrived. On their way an
emigrant family were oyertaken. The father
and mother were both so badly frozen as TO
insure their being cripples for life, and their
children were saved only by being placed be-
tween feather beds. Major Fillmore in
formed the editor Of that paper that the
weather Of the previous week had been the
coolest he had ever experienced.

THAT RAILROAD BILL.-we mentioned,
yesterday, the fact Of the introduction of a
bill for the construction Of railroad between
this place and Virginia. The Enterprise
says that the proposition is a swindle. Per-
haps so. 1t looks, however, to man up a
Tree, that the biggest swindle in the matter
would be upon those who should invest their
money in such a project. Our neighbor,
however, seems to have given some attention
to the matter, and we are not prepared to
take issue with him upon the fairness Of the
bill. We look upon the whole affair as ga
matter Of unconsequence."

4 NORWEGIAN DANcE.-Round the muSi-
clan the young men and maidens formed
ring and began to dance. There was little
talking, and that little was in an undertonc.
They went to work with the utmost gravity
and decorum.-Scarccly a laugh was heard
nothing approaching a shout during the
whole night-ncvertheleSS they enjoyed
themselves thoroughly l have no doubt
whatever of that. The nature of their dances
was somewhat incomprehensible. 1t seemed
as If the chief object of the young men was
to exhibit their agility BY every species OF
impromptu bound and fling Of which the hui
man frame is capable, including the rather
desperate feat of dashins themselves fiat
upon the ground. The principal care of the
girls seemed To be to keep out of the way OF
the men and avoid being killed BY a frantic
kick or felIed by 4 random blow. But the
desperate features of the dance did not ap-
pear ut first. Every man began by scizing
his partners hand, and dragging her round
the circle, evec and anon twirling her round
violently with one arm, and catching her
round the waist with the other, in order-as
it appeared TO me-to save her from an I'M
timely end. To this treatment the fair dam
sells submitted with pleased though baShful
looks. But soon the men flung them off and
went at it entirely on their own account; yet
they kept up a sort of revolving course round
their partners, like satellites encircling their
separate suns. Presently the satellites as
sumed some of the characteristics Of the
comet. They rushed about the circle in wild
crra,ic courses; they leaped into the air,
and. while in that position, slapped the soles
of their feet with both hands. Should any
one deem this an easy feat, let him try it.
Then they became little more sane, and a
waltz, or something like it, was got up. 1t
was really pretty, and some Of the move
ments were rather graceful but the wild
spirit of the glens re-entered the men rather
suddenly. The females were expelled from
the ring altogether, and the youths braced
themselves for little really heavy work;
they flung and hurled themselves about like
maniacs, stood on their heads and walked on
their hands-in short, became company OF
acrobats, yet always kept up sympathetic;
feeling for time with the music.-Good
WorGs.
