At last we are in fair way to get out from
that filthy pool of politics that has for some
time been engrossing large place in the at
tention of our citizens One feels quite re-
lieved, and can walk about the streets with
mpunity and without running the risk of
being buttOn-holed by some hopeful candidate
for Office. The election came of on the 10th,
and great deal of animation was manifested
by both parties nothing, however, occurred
TO mar the peace and usual monotony that
generally prevails in our quiet town. If
however, Placerville, owing to the combined
efforts of partisans, should have been indis-
cree! enough to assume a lively appearance
for the time being, can assure you that our
town has again relapsed into its accustomed
serenity" and looks as dull as any other small
town after election. OF the results of which
expect you have been advised. Unfortunate

Ahs from Glad Raid Up James silver.
The Richmond Enquirer, speaking OF
the recent expedition which Gen. Batter
sent up James river, says:
whist we published in QUE last 40 a
rumor about the iron clad raid on Bran
don, has turned out to be = sad reality, in
fact for this time reality has put rumor
far in the back ground. There is no
doubt that ell the buildings, litch0ns,
negro houses, &c, except the mansion,
have been burned; that all the slaves but
one, who secreted herself have been car
Fied off; that thousand barrels Of corn,
all our forage, together with . large
quantity Of meat, have been destroyed,
and that all the mules have been carri-
ed of.
1t is estimated by competent Judges
that the loss sustained by the raid on
Brandon. will not fall short of 100000
or 100000. To starEe this country; to
make skeletons do what folks with flesh
on their bones would not do; to make .
hungry stomach revolt against all the
dictates of reason and patriotism, and
give up all for mere life held on the most
ignOble of tenures is the policy Of the
Yankees now to be illustrated most fore
IDLY in that portion of Virginia in which
the beast Butler has come 70 re-enact the
horrid scenes that have made his name

The Use OF PETROLEUM IN THE NAVY.
Chief Engineers Wood, Whipple, and
sinners, of the navy, have reported to
Secretary Welles the results of expert
ments upon process for using petroleum
oils as fuel for the genaratiOn of steam.
These experiments, extending over PEE
Rod of five months, show per csntage of
Ia, 3 per cent, in favor of the oils over
anthracite coal for the production of
twenty pounds pressure of steam. An
thraeite coal of the best quality was used
in the same boilers alternately with the
oils, and as nearly as possible under pre-
cIsely the same conditions and circum-
stances; and accurate determinations
were made rs to time, pounds of water
evaporated per pound of coal and per
pound of oil respectively, from water of
known temperature. The results have
for the crude petroleum an evspOratic of
l066 pounds of water per pound of oil,
or in the proportion of 23,206.4 pounds
per ton; and for the mean of the best an
thracite coal 81 pounds of water per
pound of coal, or in proportion of II 424
pounds water per ton of cOal-being 3
higher evaporation in favor of the petro-
leun of 103, l per cent, ia the same boiler
with percentage Of ia 3 In favor of
the oil in the time required for generat-
ing steam. These results are Temsrka-
Die, but thu engineers who conducted the
experiments fail to report upon the COM
psrative cost of using coal or oil. Until
this part is decided, the important ques.
ton of economy remains undetermined.
The report recommends . continuance of
the investigatiOn.-N 2 E0sning Post

THE LATE GENERAL LYTLE-A cores
pendent writes to the Boston Couricr: 81
cannot refrain from sending you the fol-
lowing bit, an extract from a private let
ter received from . relative of the late
William H. Lyle, Of Cincinnati. It will
speak for itself:
"'Cousin Willis sisters were much af-
fected by the kindness with which his
remains were treated by the Confederates
a Confederate surgeon, who identified
him, cut off some of his hair to send to
his sisters. They slso sent his private
papers, watch, chain and money. They
had his grave marked with 3 slab, and
when the metallic coffia was sent for the
body, placed it tenderly in it. They had
covered the wounds in his face, first with
green leaves, then with lace net and n
fine cambria handkerchief. His rem aims
were escorted to the lines by sixteen
Confederate officers, none under the rank
of colonel"

possible in this world, he should keep
himself moderately supplied with both
radisAlism and conservatism; and being
SO supplied, he sksuld keep bis eye
well upon all the circumstances around
him. BE should ascertain whether
things sre going down bill, or up bill. II
things are going down, be may safely be
ccnservative-he may held back mode
raieIy. It they are moving smoothly, on
dead level, he need not trouble himself
about holding back. To hold back on
level road. is being radically conserVa-
live. II matters must be driven up 8
steep place, a good deal of radicalism
may sometimes be used with advantage.
When we reach the summit, il is imper
ative the brakes should be put on; SO it
were we'll perhaps, as we get near the
end Of the last hard pull 10 see if the
brakes are all right.
All this is common place talk, mixed
with some hOmeiy figures; but can you
not see in It few dim shadows Of things
happening all around Us tO-day-tbings
TOO serious for jest? Have yOu not seen
many foolish radicals and not few fool
ish conservatives Nay, have you not
seen foolish radicalism snd foolish con
servstism crop out in the same person ?
Have you not seen the unwbolesome ro-
tAtiOn come upon some eminent persons ?
When this war began by armed organ
izations in the South, men in the North
and in the Middle States, who took pride
in icing conservative, had q thousand
scruples about using the army and navy
Of the Government TO suppress rebellion.
The leading conspiratOrs had 80 arranged
the programme, that we had a up hill
duty 10 perform, at best. Yet cOnserva-
tism would hold back. But now, how il
Il? We have crushed The rebels far back
into the interior of that which they st
first claimed so audsciously. We have
crippled fer life the boosted "institu
tion," and the Wanted staple, which were
to bring the princes of the earth to their
support. We only need the energy of the
Government put forth in one more Wig
orous, well managed campaign, and we
shall have broken the military power Of
the rebels. We are going down hill. The
machinery runs easily, without pushing.
Have q care to the breaks! At the COM
mencement, much was said about moral
suasion," no doubt by honest gentlemen,
not much accustomed to the world. Did
moral suasion ever do you any good,
when debating With fellow who thought
be could whip you, and who had his
cIenched Est opposite your nose p? But
after you had planted your fist several
times judiciously betwixt his eyes, and
satisfied him that fighting might involve
the injury of both parties, have you not
found him willing to hear argument ?
Just so, we can see alresdy, that men of
the South are disposed to reason. Is ii
wise, at such time, to drive measures
with the fury Of Sarscens, and cOntemn
all civilized notions of kindness in war? |
Is this the time at which to insult, up |
braid, and Cypress unnecessarily deiu-
ded and erring people ? These are simply |
suggestions thrown out. Let the pEsc-
teal apply them.

Mexico and the Monroe Doctrine.
The Monroe doctrine is good word TO
couture by; but the spectre which some
of the Copperhesd presses are attempting
to raise in its name, sprOpOs of the pO-
sition taken By the Administration in re-
gard to the French in Mexico, can have
little power TO brighten even the most
timorous. It will not, we conceive, be
found that the honored maxim of Amer
lean craftsmanship has suffered any det-
riment from sught that our diplomatic
correspondence discloses. The attitude
of the Government of the Government TO-
ward the French invasion has been, from
the first, that of observation the only
attitude that could, under the absorbing
conditions imposed upon us by the war,
be wisely assumed. Bat while there has
been nothing like clustering or menace

any uncertain sound on the point Of orr
real sentiments as to the EmpeFoF's
doings- There 10 quiet significance IN

sued must be manifest to every fair min

way Of threatening what he would do,
there was something done much more
