A coPPERHEAp PLOT.


We have it from authority which is un-
doubted, that Mr.. Hermann, the ostensible
candidate of the Copperheads for County
Clerk Is actually not IN the field at all, but
that rascally plan has been concocted by
which the parties play into each Others
hands, Driscoll is to be supported by the
copperheads, and he in turn is to use his
private influence to elect Clark. The pro-
gramme is, that Driscoll, who is an Irish
man, is to work on the native preJudlces
of his -countrymen who are loyal
10 induce them, for the mere paltry satis-
faction of electing an Irishman to otlce' 10
sacrifice their loyalty and elevate to posi-"
ton ]. C. Clark, who is Secessionlst OF
the blacklist dye, and who would not deny
the charge if made to his face. That this
plot has been perfected We are assured by
a man who is thorough-going copper
head, and who is in the secrets Of all the
Caucus plans, but who is not fully pre-
pared to assent to every piece of petty
rascality that may be cooked up for him
to swallow. Driscoll pays the loyal Irish
men of this county the compliment to
claim that he can buy and sell their votes
as easily as one could buy wildcat stock.
and compel them, by mere force Of his
Irish nativity, to sacrifice the principles
for which hundred thousand of their
-counrrymen are to-day battling un-
der the Flag of the Union. VIII loyal
Irishmen submit to be thus bartered and
sold, or will they by vote of universal
condemnation rebuke the 1rishman who
thus insults their self-respect: Or will
any other loyal citizen OF whatever birth
place consent to cast his vote for q man,
who, while the nominee of protested
Union body, deliberately plots the sale OF
one of his co-nominees and promises, in
return for Copperhead support, to throw
hundreds of votes for Jake Clark, than
whom more rampant rebel, and more
ignorant blind worshipper of JEFF Davis
does not walk the soil of this Territory
Our statements concerning this infamous
plot, are based upon statements Of the most
solemn character, and we call the earnest
attention of every loyal voter to the mat
ter. Scan the tickets closely on election
dav, and you Will find that this sale has
been effected-that is if the loyal Irish will
submit to be bought and sold by Dennis
Driscoll.

IMPORTED INFLUENCE.

It is somewhat strange that the Peoples
Nominating Committee could not find po-
htical sagacity enough in Storey county,
70 carry out the purposes and ends for
which it was organized, without gong to
Lyon county for aid and assistance. Such
however is the case. Mr.. Newly cit
izen of Lyon county, whose family live in
the lower part of Silver City mile below
Devils Gate, and who is himself the Su-
perintendent of a coal mine in Eldorado
Canon, was a member of the Peoples
Nominating committee of Storey county,
had full say in the nomination of the
Peoples Ticket, and is spending his time,
money and influence in this county, for
the election of that ticket as whole, and
Dennis Driscon in particular. A rough
hint from our citizens to McEvily of Lyon
county, to stay at home, mind his coal
mine, and keep his nose out Of the polit-
ical affairs of Storey county, would be
very appropriate. His unsolicited CAB is
an insult TO the intelligence of this commu-
nifty, and should meet with proper resent
ment.

GoLp HILL HONE GUARD.-The citizens
of Gold Hill, deeming that necessity ex-
ists for the organization of Home Guard
70 protect life and property from all enc
mics, have commenced the formation Of
military companies, and have applied to
Governor Nye for arms, accouuements,
and ammunition, which have been fur
nished. Companies are already mustered
and equipped, and others will be COM
ple,ely organized and armed during the
week. As each member has charge of his
own weapon We may expect our streets to
present lively appearance for few
weeks as the members pass to and from
their places of drill and exercise. Whether
an emergency exists or not, it will be ben
e6cial to our people, in giving confidence
in our ability to protect ourselves, and
leave no loophole for danger. This asso-
citation has nothing political in its charac-
ter or purposes.

SPECIAL DlspAroH TO me GOLD HILL DAILY Ne,
DISPATCH from PLACERvILLE.
Secenainn Rior nj GseorgetoWn.


PLAcBRyILLE,. Sept, "a street hgnt
between party of eight or ten Irish Sc
cessionists and corresponding number OF
Union citizens oc Georgetown, occurred
at that place yesterday afternoon. 1t ap-
pears that party of Irish came into town
from mining camp and cheered and
shouted for the Southern Confederacy'
denouncing Unionists, and were otherwise
disturbing the peace, and when expostu-
lated with by Justice Smith, they attacked
him. Several prominent loyalists attempt
ed to rescue him, and the fight became
general and lasted but few minutes.
Clubs were the only weapons used. Ihe
Irish were badly damaged and are under
arrest. The same party have several
times before annoyed and insulted the
Union people of that place.

Justice.

On Monday last, We copied from the Fort
Churchill correspondence Of the Placerville
Ners, paragraph eliminating a late officer
AT that station, and rejecting upon this paper.
We denied the statements regarding our
selves, and have received from an officer now
at the Fort the following contradiction of the
allegations concerning Lieut.. Barry:
EDITOR News I'm your issue OF the 18th
August, you copy paragraph from cores
pondence in the Placerville Nstcs, in relation
TO an ex-Lieutenaut OF the Infantry John I.
Barry), which is entirely false; and conceiv-
ing that it does that gentleman much iujus-
tice, deem it my duty to contradict the
same. Lieut.. Barry belonged to my mess.
His portion OF the expenses for the time we
messed together (which was all the time he
was at this post, was nifty dollars in curren-
CIV. When he was leaving, he sold me sash
and coat, which more than paid for his share
OF the mess bill. That he was dismissed the
service is also false. He resigned his COM
mission with his own free will.
L. J. WHITNEY,
LIST Lieutenant Co. "F," Cav.
Fort Churchill, Sept. LIST, 1864.
Barry should apply to the Placerville paper
for the name Of its libellous correspondent,
and administer to him the castigation which
he seems to stand in need Of.

We are tired Of war. Put US in power and
we will restore the Union. Then we will re-
affirm the Monroe Doctrine, we will drive
out Maximilian, we will annex Mexico, we
will take Cuba and Canada, and make a
Grand Republic extending from the ice Of
Melville Island to the palm groves Of Aspiu-
wall. Let us ask how much of peace there
appears in these propositions War with
Mexico and France, Spain and England.
Is this the peace they promise the American

A Reeommendation.
The Reese River ReveiAe, speaking Of
the resignation of the Judges, says:

The Reese River RereiAe, speaking OF
the resignation of the Judges, says:
Should it prove true that one or more Of the
Judges had resigned, we have citizen Of
Austin we would earnestly recommend as one
of the successors. We refer TO the Hon.
David Cooper, formerly Judge Of one Of the
District Courts of Minnesota, a gentleman
eminent in his profession, and far above the
breath Of SANDER, without fear and without
reproach." The record made by Judge
Cooper in Minnesota was worthy and honor
able to the highest degree. For several years
occupying high position OIL the bench, a
prominent candidate for the United States
Senate, he always firmly retained the conf
dence Of the people. With such Judges on
the bench confidence would be restored, and
business and prosperity resume its sway.
As the people will, on Wednesday. vote
for State Constitution; and as the ap-
pointment of new Judges would be but a
mere temporary affair, the RereiAe must
devote its energies toward the nomination
of Judge Cooper in the State Convention.

JusrIcE's CouRTs.-These Courts will,
under State organization and Specific
Contract Act, assume position superior
to our present Probate Court because
they will then render judgment for $500
in coin, whereas our present Probate
Court can only render a Judgment for $500
simply, which is equivalent to $500 in
greenbacks, or 5000 in coin. Therefore
our Justices of the Peace should not only
be men of integrity and natural ability,
but should also be men acquainted witt
law.

ridan pursuing the Enemy.
Averill attacked and drove Vaughn's cav
airy froma point north OF Bunker Hill, to
within six miles Of Winchester, when his
advance was stopped by a division Of in
fantry. Averill captured twenty wagons,
two battle.fags, number Of prisoners and
herd of cattle. He then moved towards
Berryville, and Sheridan moved last night
with the whole army in pursuit OF the enemy.
All Quiet ON the Potomac, save Pick.
ct Firing.
The latest information from the Army Of
the Potomac states that nothing of note has
transpired for some days past. Picket firing
is INDUCED in at night and almost entirely
ceases during the day.
Number of Men under Last Call Re-
duced.
The Secretary of War announces that the
naval and other credits will amount to 200,-
600 men, thus reducing the number Of men
required under the recent call to 100000

He says 100000 men promptly furnished
are all that Gen. Grant asks to capture Rich
mond and give the finishing blow TO the reb-
els yet in the field. The residue Of the call
will be adequate for garrisoning the forts
and to guard the lines Of communication.
