Th, RaiIrond War i'm Placer.

Concerning the war in Placer county, CAL,
of which something has already been said in
the papers, the Sacramento Union Of yester-
day gives US particulars up to Saturday last.
1t says:
A spicy railroad war has prevailed for
week or two in Placer county, as our readers
are already aware. The Folsom and Auburn
Railroad was sold at Sheriff's sale and pur-
chased by j. P. Robinson. The work OF
taking up the rails was commenced for the
purpose of relaying them between Folsom
and Latrobe, FL Dorado county. When
about mile of the road was torn up, Crit
fifth, who has a granite quarry on the road.
applied for an injunction, alleging that he
had invested heavily in opening his granite
quarry, and that if the road was destroyed ne
would be greatly damaged. Other grounds
were also alleged, and the injunction was
granted by the Court. In short time
party OF men went to work and tore up the
track and removed the rails regardless OF the
injunction. Several very amusing contests
have ensued between the Sheritfs posse and
the railroad men. At one time the Deputy
Sheriff was hoisted into the cars and run OFT
to Folsom nole,H voLens. At another time, a
heavy force from San Francisco went up to
tear up the rails, but the Sheriff 5 posse was
too strong, and the railroad men were re.
pulsed. Each party keeps thick curtain OF
pickets on the ground, and each captures
prisoners whenever practicable. The Sherih
has had eighteen and twenty prisoners at
time in jail at Auburn. On Saturday last the
war became rather more tragic than hereto
fore. There was Sheriff 8 posse of FIVE or
six on the ground to guard the rails. Sud-
denly warrants were served on them from a
Justice of the Peace at Lincoln, charging
them with disturbing the peace, carrying
concealed weapons, etc., and with one eNcep-
ton they were gobbled up by a superior force
and taken off to Lincoln. The one e1cep-
ton was Deputy Sheriff COburn, who made
his escape, and mounting fleet steed bore
the news Of the mastery piece Of strategy to
Sheriff Sexton at Auburn. At once the Au-
burn Grays were called out, and fifteen of the
number, armed and equipped, were on their
way to the railroad. They then discovered,
of course, large party tearing up the rails.
A fight ensued, in which considerable rough
and tumble exercise took place. One pistol
shot was fired, and the bullet passed through
the ear OF one Of the railroad removal party.
In Il contest between Deputy Sheriff and a
man named Bovee, from San Francisco, the
Deputy was getting the worst of it when one
of the Auburn Grays-a printer, by the by
charged bayonet with effect. The bayonet
entered the left side below the ribs, and 1t is
said penetrated through the body. Sheriff
Sexton was reinforced and succeeded in
taking about twenty prisoners, five Of whom
were Chinaman. We heard nothing from
the seat of war us to yesterdays operations.

FREEDOM OF SPEECH,

This is privilege which has been eH-
ercised under the blessings OF our Govern
ment tor great many years. It's ansht
with which the laws never interfere, pro-
yided the person exercising it does so with
proper regard to truth, justice, and the
usual amenities becoming man who re-
CARDS the laws and their executors under
which he is living, and claims protection
for his life and property. This is right;
it is one of the fundamental principles OF
the Government, and by the honest citi-
zen will always be maintained. But 1t
occasionally happens that persons born
in foreign climes, who perhaps for years
have enjoyed the blessings of our Govern
ment look upon these privileges as
license to say and to do just as they please
however seditious their acts or their
language may be towards the Government.
Ever since the rebellion of the South
broke out, there has been certain class
of these persons whose sympathies have
been entirely with the enemies Of the
Government, and who are too cowardly
to go and fight with the enemy, never
theless sneakingly, whenever occasion
offers, speak unexpectedly of the laws
and the friends of the Government under
which they get their bread and butter.
Two cases of this kind have occurred in
Gold Hill within the last twenty-four
hours. One of them was that of Cor
nishman, working in one of the silver
producing mines in Gold Hill proper, who
has lately shot his mouth off" in the
manner and style highly becoming SOL
der in JEFF Davis army, and which was
considered by those who heard it, and
which is considered under the Federal
laws highly sedi6ous and reasonable.
General Van Bokkelen, the Provost Mar
shall up in Virginia, (who knows the law,
and is not afraid to enforce it, having
heard Of the style of the Cornish gentle
man, and having an affidavit, as in such
case made and provided, sent Provost
Guard and had the friend Of rebellion
taken to headquarters, from whence we
expect he will be sent to the Fort, to eI-
ercise in the sand-packing and wood-chop-
ping business. We are sorry we could
not find out this fellows name. The name
of the other secesh-shneker is Frank Linn.
from some part of Ireland, who expressed
himself rather freely this morning. in Gold
Hill, TO the effect that he hoped " every
id Irishman who was fighting in the
Federal army might have his throat cut;
that Abe Lincoln was id traitor and
church-burner," etc. The fellow was
nabbed by an officer on warrant, attida-
Wit having been duly made, and guard
from the Provost Marshal's office in Viz
ginia was sent down at ten o'clock, who
conducted this friend of traitors to other
quarters, and we expect he will haul up
at the Fort, to keep John Anderson and
others of that lk company. These scrubs
are evidently too cowardly to go and fight
with traitors, but have Just courage suti-
Gent TO blow of the traitorous sentiments
which possess their hearts in loyal conf
munity. We are down on all such cattle,
and the Provost Marshal is fast Kidding
our loyal communities of them.

Irish Patriotisni.

The Irish Ners, under new manage
ment, has dropped its doubtful political
tone, and hoisted at the head Of its col
umns the names OF the National Union
nominees. On taking this step, it says ::
We have thought it our duty to formally
place at the head ofour columns the National
linton Presidential ticket, for the success Of
which it is our purpose to earnestly labor.
As Irishmen, we recognize the indisputable
fact, that upon the preservation Of the Amer
lean Union depends the redemption of'lre-
land and as American citizens we cannot
conscientiously withhold whatever service we
have capacity to render, from government
which has been the most powerful and devo-
ted friend Of our native country.
We recognize Abraham Lincoln and An
drew Johnson as the worthy and popular
representatives Of the Union party, which
embodies the patriotism of the nation 20
which our fellow-countrymen look in strong
faith for deliverance. Therefore, with the
Sincerest devotion to the country of our adop-
ton, with the hope Of being able to render
some slight service in the cause Of Union
and Freedom, we present the nominations Of
the Union party, and pledge our uureseryed
support.

HOMICIDE NEAR SILVER CITY.-A homi-
eide occurred last evening about four
o'clock just below Silver City, in which
an elderly man from Silver City, whose
name we were unable to learn save that
he was called "Uncle Jimmy" was
killed. Neither could we learn the name
of the person who killed him. A horse
man riding along the road saw the man
striking Uncle Jimmy over the head with
a piece of board, and on coming up dis
mounted and arrested him. The old man
died soon after, These are the only par
ticulars that we can learn of the affair,
save that the deceased and his slayer were
friends, both in liquor, and probably got
into drunken quarrel, which terminated
as related.

The PREss.-Its iron SYPHILIS sit in ten thou
sand caves, each like haggard prophecies,
writing her prophecies on the leaves Of trees,
and Ainging them out to the gale. We do not
know the number of newspapers in the United
States, but they are legion, flying like carrier
pigeons, dropping their burdens before man
sions and cottage doors, and entering the
sanctuary Of uncounted homes with footballs
like the Shows. F. Flag.
1t sits in one cave in San Francisco, like
a ranting ibeller, writing its defamation
and abuse on sheets of foolscap, and fling
ing them into the mail. Wedo not know
the number Of papers issued from that
cave, but they are too many, flying like
turkey-buzzard.. dropping their nastiness
before cottage and mansion, and entering
the sanctums of unappreciative cotempo-
raries with the footballs of a eliminating
backbiter.

SPECIMENS,

4 short time ago We referred to the
Napa County Reporter as disloyal sheet,
whereupon "Lank Higgins & Co." in
formed the world that we were ga liar
and fool" at which squirt we % larfed
conssmedly." We are in possession of
the last Saturdays Reporter from which
We respectfully offer to our readers few
choice specimens of literature. They will
serve as an index to the general character
of the weekly contents of that delectable
sheet. Speaking of Rev. Henry Bellows, q
gentleman who stands tolerably fair among
loyal men. the Higgins firm remark:
And DR.. Bellows claims to be Chris
tian-an humble follower OF Christ, the
Prince of Peace. Rather Of Satan, the Demon
Of Hell, than OF Him who preached peace
and good will toward all men, The day Of
retribution will surely come, and then may
God have mercy on the soul of the man who
clothed with the cloak of church, advocates
war forever in our once happy land. Such
men as DR.. Bellows brought this terrible war
upon US, and now, demon like, rejoice in the
misery, devastation and horrors that follow
in its wake.
MAY the cries Of the distressed and fam
ished wives and children Of those he impov-
erishes ring in the ears Of this old hypocrite
on his death-bed, until he atones for the mis-
cry he inhicts upon the poor and needy"
In another place he says:
Secretary Chase has resigned. He
couldn't any longer stomach his own green
backs. The American people got sick of
them-the smell of them sickened him also,
so he resigned, in disgust, we suppose"
That's enough for one dose. Ought
we not be ashamed to impugn the loyalty
of that lank institution:

The Reelection OF WAGEs.-This sub
ject is causing considerable excitement in
the community, and if the proposed re-
duction is made we should not be sur
prised to see trouble arse from it. We
are informed by one who processes to be
posted. that there has been meeting Of
all the superintendents, and that all have
agreed upon the reduction of wages, ex-
cept the Yellow Jacket, Belcher and
Savage Companies, who refuse to enter
into the arrangement, and say that they
viii continue to pay their hands what
their work is worth. 1t is said that most
of the foremen oppose the policy of re-
ducing the wages, and say it will prove a
losing operation in the end.

GoLD.-The advance in gold is reported to
be in consequence Of a corner-the same as
that which sent Harlem stock up to 230,
when intrinsically it is not worth cent The
time-sales Of gold are stated at $4,000, 900
more than all the gold in New York. Neither
the prospects Of the military campaign, the
state of the currency nor the financial condi-
ton OF the Government, have anything to do
with the rise of gold. So says an Eastern
paper.

In JA1L.-Charles Gassaway was bound
over, July 9th, at Marysville, in the SUN
of $500 for alleged stage robbery at oro-
vile. Not being able to procure bail, he
was committed. This is the youngest Of
that interesting family and, year or two
ago, was thought to have been the only
honest one of the crowd. The evil inAu-
ences of his family seem to have corrupted
him at last.

The BuRxr SHAFT.-rhe burning OF
the Gentle Annie shaft has caused consid-
cradle comment upon the street, and va
rious opinions are expressed upon the
matter. We know nothing of the facts
save what we have learned from interested
parties. The New Oregon people say
that the Gentle Annie company in their
endeavors TO "smoke out " their oppo-
nents, filed bucket with smouldering
material, and lowered it into the shaft, to
create stampede among the New Oregon
workmen, but that the immense draft,
caused the cmbers to burst into fame,
burning the rope, and in falling, spreading
the contents OF the bucket along the sides
and bottom of the shaft, thus causing the
whole to burn. and that to save the shaft,
the top was covered with planks to, if
possible, shoulder the flames, out too late
to answer the purpose sought. Again:
the Gentle Annie folks charge the New
Oregon people with the same intention Of
smoking" and to have met with the
same unfortunate result. BE the facts in
the case as they may, this species Of war
fare with fire and smoke is poor way Of
proving title to mining ground, aud 1t is
not unreasonable to apprehend murder as
final result of such proceedings.
