COULDN'T N1N!-E P. White Is resident
Of this city-a young man Of mediocre talent,
excitable temperament, and high aspirations.
He is politician, in a small way, and aspires
to office-anything, no matter how small,
will be thankfully received. Formerly an
out.and-out Abolitionist, but now the most
intense Copperhead of them all, he omits no
opportunity Of heaping abuse on his former
bed-fellows. Such faithful service could not,
of course, be locked over, and accordingly
White was last week nominated for Treasu-
rer by the Cops. W. was elated-he was
pleased and calmly contented-sanguine Of
success.
White was doomed to disappointment !;
but who has not been9 ALl great men are
sometimes beaten. We are sorry to say,
however, that W. did net appreciate the
matter; he could not discern it. He failed
to show the philosophical spirit in adversely
that characterizes all truly great men. In
short, he got mad-riled, angry, rambunc-
tious-and threatened to whip everybody
and everything. ct is said he did give his
s'dog purp" a beautiful dressing) He cursed
his friends, or rather his pretended friends,
who, in his hour Of need, deserted him
his enemies, who jeered at him in his hour
of defeat-and himself, for ever abandoning
the Abolitionists for a party which was tenn
porarily in power. He fumed, fretted and
strutted, creating quite tempest in tea
pot" The lightning of avenging anger
flashed ''phitful phre phrom his phorehead.
His manly ''phrame" quivered with excite
ment. The pentup emotions of his heart
struggled to be free. His, his-but we
can't describe him in the hour Of his terrible
anger; to be appreciated, he must be seen.
''Lor' Dress de chile, how pale he looksl'
Retain your linen, Mr.. W.; keep calm j.;
you'll do yourself an injury. What matter
if your name .cas scratched, and that of a
woman substituted Be virtuous; keep
quiet; and ere long new party may spring
up, with which you may identify yourself
and have your services rewarded with an
Office. Continue as you commenced: join
every party in power, and you may yet be-
come constable or fence viewer. +"Ajew,"
Mr.. White, "ajew." Remember the fate of
s'poor Pennell," Mr. w.!

Mine Taxing in California.

The question Of taxation Of the mines, is
causing as much excitement in California, as
it has been doing on this side of the Sierras.
Speaking Of this subject the Bee says:
"Under the belief that the General Gov
eminent would propose to sell or lease the
mineral lands, the mountain press have de-
bated the subject more or less but the Gov
eminent, if it takes any action in the prem
iscs, will only raise revenue from their
value as from other-making the party in
possession pay, or lay a tax upon the pre-
cious metals when taken from the mines and
before they enter into the general commerce
of the country. This will scarcely be OBJ
lected to by any while proposition to lease
or sell them would meet with opponents at
every paint.
"It is probable that the present Legisla-
ture will strike the mines from the list Of
exempt property, which will in fact add them
to the list Of taxable property; and If the
Courts hold that the State has the power to
tax them, the burden Of Government will
fall comparatively light upon the farmer, me-
chanic, manufacturer and merchant, who,
from the organization Of the State until now,
have had heaped upon them all the expenses
of both State and local governments. Thus
can the State, without any increase of taxa
ton, come down almost at once to n cash
basis and pay of, not only her floating, but,
in few years, her funded debt, il so desired.
The now taxable property is about $l74 ,000,-
600, and If the value of the mines be added
thereto, the sum would equal 100000, 600
more, or certainly one-halfthe other property
in the State, making a taxable basis of S26l,-
600, 900, which would place our finances upon
the most desirable basis, and while this
course would injure no one it would be a
blessing to all"

o, THE DREADFUL ADoLrTIoNIsTs =
When all other editorial topics fail them, the
Secession-aiding Democrats have one subject
which they can always fall back upon. 1t
matters not that it has been worn threadbare
that its potency to scare timid men has
been destroyed in the conflict of battle-still
the stercotypcd howl about abolition re-
mains sweet morsel to them, and supplies
their barrenness of information or invention
with never-ending source Of discourse. 1t
will so remain till the end Of the war then
farewell to the dark subject-Sambo's occu-
patton will be gone forever. What will DEM
ocratic editors and politicians do then They
can emigrate to Brazil, Cuba or Africa, and
we advise them to prepare for an early move
ment. The rot has overtaken their peculiar
ideas in this country, and they will no longer
flourish here. America has become dread
fully abolitionized, and Africa now presents
the most congenial soil for the cultivation Of
the patriarchal peculiar institution. o, the
dreadful abolitionists have revolutionized the
country, Dixie inclusive, and are thus de-
stroying the well-source Of Democratic elo-
quence !-Sierra Democrat.

CENTRAL AMERICAN NEws.-The Saliva

stated that people in La Libertad and Leote-
poque heard cannonading between two ves-
sells, on the llth instant, at noon, and some
even saw the vessels fighting, FL Comstitu-
ttoRal thinks it must have been a Confede-
rate cruiser and steamer Of the Panama
and California line. The International Roy
al Mail Steamship Company have negotiated
with the British authorities for subsidy, to
enable them to start steam line between
Panama, New Zealand and New South Wales,
in connection with the West India line of
steamers, in consideration Of f75,000 per
annum for FIVE years. The company is to
provide four vessels, of not less than 1000
tons each and 250-horse power, for the per-
Torrance of monthly service each way be.

THE BALTIMORE CONVENTION.

The Pres idertial Convention met yesterday
in Baltimore, at the appointed time, perfected
its preliminary organization, and adjourned to
today, when, probably, its important work will
be finished in the nomination of candidates for
President and yice-President. SO far there is
much display of strong enthusiasm, and little
evidence of anything but entire harmony. The
enthusiasm will increase to the end, no doubt;
and it is not yet time for any discordant cle-
ment to show itself, even if any exists, which
is not apprehended. The speeches of Senator
Morgan on calling the Convention to order;
of DR.. Breckenridge, as temporary Chair
man of ex-Gov. Denison on taking the
chair as the permanent presiding Off
Ger, all have one tone - Of patriotic
devotion to the Union of fixed determination
to crush the Rebellion, and the absolute neces-
sity of destroying its cause, that liberty may
be established all over the land, and peace be
permanent. On all these points there is but
one feeling, and these six hundred Delegates,
fresh from the people, bear unmistakablc wit
ness Of the popular will and the universal zeal
to rebuild the Union on the broad basis Of Free
dom TO all men. Such undoubtedly will be the
character of the Platform which will be re-
ported to-day by the Committee on Resolutions,
and we shall enter upon the canvass with no
doubt and no hesitation as to the principles by
which we are TO be guided.
OF men there is as yet little said inside or
outside Of the Convention. The only doubt
seems to be as to the candidate for the Vice
Presidency. Mr.. Dickinson Of this State and
Mr.. Johnson of Tennessee are both urged for
that position by strong delegations, while Others
think that to leave Mr.. Hamlins name off the
would be an invdious distinction. 1t is not
probable, however, that on this point there will
be any great struggle; the conflicting prefer
ences will undoubtedly be reconciled after a
friendly conference to-day. On the question Of
the Presidency but one feeling seems to be man.
Tested, and that is for Mr.. Lincoln.
In the preliminary organization, the names Of
all the States and Territories, after some debate,
were called. The question of admitting their
Delegates to permanent seats and to vote is yet
to be decided, but il is not likely to lead to any
