woRKINGMEN AND FOREIGNERS, READ !!
DeBow's Repieu is the acknowledged author
ity in the Southern Confederacy in all mat
,ers social and political. 1t has always been
the most able and jealous defender of pro-
slavery principles, and the firmest supporter
of the Southern Confederacy. In late num-
her, speaking of the new order Of things to
grow out of the rebellion, il successful, It
saws: The real civilization Of a country is in
IFS aristocracy. The masses are nodded into
soldiers and artizans BY intellect just as mat
ter and the elements Of nature are made into
teleeraphs and steam engines. The poor,
who labor all day, are too tired at night TO
study books. II you make them learned,
they soon forget all that is not necessary in
the common transactions OF life. To make
an aristocrat in the future we must sacrIhce
a thousand paupers. Yet we would by all
means make them-make them permanent
too, BY laws Of entail and promogeniture:
The right to govern resides in very small
minority; the duty to obey is inherent in the
great masses of mankind. All government
begin. with usurpation, and is continued BY
force. There is nothing to which the South
entertuins so great dislike as universal suf-
frage. Wherever foreigners settle together
in large numbers, there universal suffrage
will exist.

Constellation Run Mad.

The Confederate organ OF this city, which
achieved wre,ched notoriety BY affecting to
repudiate the Union manifesto Of General
Mcclellan, yesterday pushed its principles to
logical conclusion in an article upon the
peace movement in Georgia, Of which the
following is specimen sample:
"The withdrawal of Georgia from her sis
ter States ofthe Confederacy in this hour OF
their supreme trial, is a supposition that in
wolves depth of baseness which disposition
ate witnesses must admit conflicts directly
with all the teachings Of the political history
Of the States of the South. That explanation
Of the Georgia policy" is not more Infamous
than absurd"
The "depth Of baseness" which the News
states has been exhibited by the Georgian
leaders in seeking to return to the Union, is
in reality manifested in far greater degree
by Northern journal, which, while pre-
tending to advocate "peace," denounces
Governor Brown and Vice-President Alex
ander Stephens for seeking to avert the hor-
rors Of war from the people Of their State.
1t is plain that the only "peace" favored by
the News is one based upon the utter over
throw OF the Union. According to this pre-
vious advocate Of "peace," war must go on
until the independence not merely Of the
Confederacy but also of the respective States
is absolutely secured. This is "peace" doc
trine with vengeance, with Copperheadism
thrown into the bargain. Verify, certain
stripes Of New York Copperheads out Herod
Herod in their impracticable treason They
are worse and infinitely more rabid than those
who were to the manor born. Here is an
other specimen from the News for working
men and voters to ponder over:
"Nethor Governor Brown nor Mr.. Ste.
phens can be suspected Of conserving to any
arrangement whatever that would expose
their State to the infamy of deserving, in the
hour Of their bloody trial, sisters to whom
she has pledged her faith" ... -
This will do for the present ~. Y. Sun.

Under such a caption, the Californian, al
luding to the adoption Of a free Constitution
by the State of Maryland, says:
OF more importance than the Pennsylva-
MIA contest, however, is the confirmation of
the good news from Maryland. There can
be now no doubt that she has adopted new
Constitution, which, in loosening the shackles
from her slaves, also dislinks the chain that
held her to the Slave oligarchy. Every true
patriot will see an abiding promise in this
triumph-a victory that is not merely local
and transitory. The Slave State, whose cap
ital was dyed with the first Northern blood
split in the struggle, and who now Of her
own choice ranges herself beneath the Free
soil banner, opposes unanswerablc rhetoric
to the arguments of the Conservative Peace
party. There is no Federal usurpation" in
this no Abolitionizing," no " Puritan ele-
ment," except it be the blood OF the murder
ed Massachusetts soldiers striving in the
soil. "My Maryland" has made her choice.
She had tasted the advantages Of slavery.
Year after year she had traticked in flesh
under her Constitution the Ggis Of her law
had protected the master in his barbarities /;
the statute had provided for the observance
Of family ties at the will Of the master. All
this of her own free will she has rejected.
We have not yet heard the democratic ex.
PLANTATION of her detection; she has offered
as yet no apology. To borrow one Of the
farorite formulas Of the Democratic party,
we might trace this singular change to
Miscegenation of flesh, but ideas
the contact and intermarriage Of Northern
and Southern thought giving truth and legiti-
macy to the New Constitution.

A SLIGHT sKIRMIsH.

The Silver City folks had "gay" time
last night-that is, such of them as chose
to lose a little time in listening to some OF
the SOLDERING secesh spouters who went
down to that place from Virginia in order
to deceive the fifteen Copperheads who be-
long to that precinct into the belief that
they are politically right. About forty
Broom-Rangers, from Virginia, went
down to Silver with A. C. Bradford (he
went in a carriageD, Larry Murray and
governor B. d. Gold Hill is a sort OF
halfway house-and last night, at about
IL o'clock, the disinterested patriots from
Virginia, who feel so much interest in our.
Silver City neighbors, the little squad
hauled up in front Of saloon in Gold
Hill. They gave three cheers for George
B. Mcclellan, and also "three groans for
Abe Lincoln" and then went into the
saloon and took drink. While this was
going on, about dozen Union men
gathered in front of the saloon and gave
"three cheers and tiger for President
Lincoln" The Union men of Gold Hill
had right to do so, and not fearing any
crowd of outsiders, they did it well. But
Paul Maroney, the candidate for State
Treasurer on the Broom Ranger ticket,
not satisfied with the condition of things,
came out of the saloon and, like gen.
uine Broom-Ranger Copperhead, proposed
three groans for,Abe Lincoln, and any
id s-n of b-h who likes him." Be-
fore Misther Maroney could shoot off his
mouth any more, three valiant fists at the
ends of three strong right arms belonging
to Union men, laid the gentleman as fiat
as founder on the sidewalk. If anybody
in Virginia has seen Mlsther Maroney, the
Broom Ranger candidate for State Treas
urer. to-day, perhaps they have seen the
effects of his skirmish with the Gold Hill
ers last night. Misther Maroney didn't
have another word to say, having fell
early in the battle, and retired up the hill
and on to the citadel in a very orderly re-
treat. Major ellis, of Confederate flag
notoriety IN Sacramento, tried to " take
it up" for Paul MarOney, but Major Gill
is was not considered exactly the man to
take up a fight for anybody. We desire
to say in this connection, that Gold Hill
is loyal community, and no internal
black hearted traitor shall be allowed to
insult the name of our President or any
man who supports him. with impunity.
If some of the sneaking, cowardly Cop
perhead traitors o. Virginia, or any other
section of this land, have any wish to see
some of their contemplate carcasses hung
up, they have only to repeat some of their
traitorous acts in this town.

The meeting last night was addressed

Mr.. Baldwin was followed in speech Oh
half IN hours length by JUDGE u II,
BRYAN, which also frequently elected
warm applause, and made a good I'M
preston. Mr.. Bryan has not taken
very active part in political controversies
for the last ten months-but he feels II
to be a duty that he owes as true ana
loyal citizen to his Government TO stanu
up manfully to the Administration OF MI
Lincoln, and to advocate his reelection IN
preference TO the hypocritcal candidate
who stands upon the two-sided chicago
platform, George B. Mcclellan, who Is
backed up by a set of political VasaoondS
who are endeavoring to divide the Union
by crying ''peace," and who wish to see
the South establish its independence. Mr..
Bryan is evidently an unconditional Union
man, without any ifs or ands," and he
gave the sympathizers with traitors the
rebels themselves, and their abominable
institution of Slavery, particular h-u in
his speechlast night. Mr.. Bryan is a very
pleasant speaker, and we hope he will go
out among the people and talk little
more. During the meeting last night,
quite large number of the members OF
Union Club No. 4, headed by martial mu'
sic, transparencies, and the glorious old
Stars and Stripes, paid our Club visit,
and were received with hearty cheers.
They took seats in the meeting and re-
NAMED until the conclusion, when they
took up the line of march and were es-
corted BY some of our Club to the top OF

boys gave three cheers for the GOLD HILL

POLlTIcAL CHANGES OF GREAT Men.
It j. both interesting and encouraging to
note 'ciici 'say the changes have occurred
in the sentiments of some of our creates,
men. This may be discovered in the fact
tina: the electoral vote for Mr.. Lincoln is
headed by Edward Everett in Massachu-
sets, Daniel ). Dickinson in New York,
Thomas Cunningham in Pennsylvania, and
David Todd in Ohio-all eminent names,
and all Of them men who opposed Mr..
Lincoln in 1860. These are distinguished
representatives, simply, of great host of
citizens whom patriotism has compelled to
take the side of Mr.. Lincoln against an
opposition which carried its party passion
TO the extent Of disloyalty and treason.
Where s the man Of any eminence in the
United States who was for Mr.. Lincoln in
1860, who is against him now:

STocXs AND THE MONEY MARKET.-Hen.
riques' Stock Circular, for the week ending
last Saturday, contains the following:
Transactions at the Board since Saturday
last have been heavy in nearly all the lead
ing shares, and lower priced stocks were al
so buoyant The former have ruled at lower
rates, but for the most part have been well
maintained in view Of the large sales, and
the sudden and material rise Of last week.
The hattering condition OF many claims on
the Comstock is a subject of congratulation
in stock circles, and not only adds strength
to the whole market, but inspires the hupe
that the future of these mines will be no less
promising.
During the past quarter the receipts Of
Bullion from Virginia City, Gold Hill and
Silver City, have amounted to $2,SiS, 600.
Reese River has sent forward in this period
$500, 900, and from Esmeralda ST5,000 have
been received, making an aggregate from
Nevada, for the past three months, Of 49,
275,000. This is a gratifying exhibit, and
shows that the leading interest OF the Terri:
tory is growing in importance, and is well
worthy the attention of our capitalists and all
others engaged in these pursuits. ,
The money market is growing easter and
capital is becoming more abundant. The
establishment of number Of foreign bank
ing agencies in this city will materially aid
in promoting still greater ease. .
