BY the report Of the Secretary Of the
Navy, at the commencement of the present
year there were in commission $50 vessels,
armed with 5000 guns manned by $1,000
men, The number of vessels now in COM
mission is III, with $50 guns-l2,l2s men.
BY the report Of the Secretary of War, the
military force on the lst Of May was l,OOO,,
SIG men. Over 100000 of these men have
been mustered out, and the Department is
still rapidly reducing the number. The war
estimates have decreased from S5l6,240,23l
to 500, ,8l4 ,46l. which amount in the opin
ion Of the Department, is adequate for the
peace establishment.
The President discusses the financial ques-
,ion at length. He recommends the people
to be constantly on their guard to liquidae
the debts contracted by paper currency, and
by conducting business as nearly as possible
on cash basis or short credit, to hold them
selves prepared to return to a specie stand-
ard The gradual reduction of the currency
is the only measure that can save the bust
n, SIS of The country from disastrous calamities.
l, is estimated 10y the Secretary Of the Trea-
sury that the expenditure for the fiscal year
ending the 3Oh of June, 1866, will exceed
the receipts l2,l94947 1t is gratifying,
however, to state that it is also estimated
lha, The revenue for the year ending the 30ih
of June, 1867. will exceed the expenditures
by the sum of l,6S2,Sl6. This amount.
or so much as may be deemed sufficient for
the purpose. may be applied to the reduction
OF he public debt. which on the list Of Oc-
tober, 1865, was $2,74O,S54, $50.
Ia regard to our relations with Great Brit
ain, the President has declined the PROPOSE

dictate 10 New York, where TO our free

AUBURN, DECEMBER 9, 1865.
A MISTAKE. -SenStor Shaw. Dem

A MIsrAKE.-SenStor Shaw, (Dem.) Of
San Francisco, has introduced bill 10 ratify
the Constitutional amendment abolishing
slavery. We object to any attempt on the
part of Democrats to steal the thunder of
the Abolilionsts. 1t is their measure, and
let them have the benefit Of all the political
capital to be gained by it. In 1861, an
Abolition Congress, in the presence Of the
most solemn events, disavowed any intention
or desire TO interfere with the institution Of
slavery n the Southern States, or that the
war was being carried on for that purpose.
Mr.. Seward, also instructed our Foreign
Ministers that the Government of the United
States had neither The disposition nor the
right TO interfere with slavery in the States
where it existed. The Constitution has not
been changed since that time, but the Gen.
eral Government has been forcing emancipa'
tion upon the seeded States at the point Of
the bayonet, and upon the non seeding
slave States by force and fraud, until the
labor interests of those States are utterly
prostrated and injured to an extent that no
man can point TO the time Of recovery. This
is the result Of Abolition domination, and
now, by the arquiescence Of the Northern
States, and Jobnson's plan of compelling the
Southern States 10 accept the amendment
(as precedent to their being restored to
an equality with the other States within the
Union) that party is endeavoring to carry
this provision to the Constitution. They
will succeed of course; but let the glory or
the shame Of that success be with the party
that originated the measure. The Demo.
cratic party, neither as an organization, OF
By its representatives, need mount Abolition
hobbies to court public favor. 1t can stand
BY its past record, remain sleadiast as the
party Of the Constitution of our fathers, and
10 good time again command the confidence
of the people and direct the destiny Of the
country in the march Of greatness.

SALE OF STAGE LINE. - The California
Stage Company have closed out their busi-
ness entirely in Placer county, BY the sale
of their only remaining line between Au.
burn and Lincoln) to Mr.. Strong, who for
number Of years has been the driver on the
route. The people on the route are pleased
to know that the line has passed into Mr..
Strong's hands, as he has ever been gentle
manly and accommodating, and punctual as
clock work. And for ourselves, we take this
opportunity 10 return our acknow Judgments
to Mr.. Strong for the many attentions be has
shown the Herald, and bespeak him all the
success he could desire as a stage proprietor.
Closely connected with the history of PIa'
Ger county, and Important to its business in
terests, has been the operations of the Cali
fornia Stage Company. From an early pc
riod their stages run nearly all the impor
tant roads OF our county, and for superiority
OF stock, punlua:y of service, and attention
and courtesy Of their employees, have no
where been excelIed. From time to time
rival lines have essayed to compete with
them for public favor, but the "od lne' al
ways bore off The palm, and remained the
permanent staging institution. But the con,
struction Of railroads in the county, has grad
ualy caused the contraction Of stage routes,
and the time is not distant when the railway
will almost entirely take the travel of the
county. But as Concord coarhes and spank
ing teams of six, and the jolly boys who drew
the rens over them, are removed from our
gaze, they will be held in pleasant memory,
and kindly wishes will follow them as they
are pioneering the way and opening to the
demands Of civilization the vast agricultural
and mining fields that lie norlhward aud be-
yond the Serras.

Buchanan Vindicated.

The Mountain Democrat SAYS, the whole
Abolition press and their entire rabbe Of
orators, from the highest TO the lowest, have
for wears denounced Mr.. Buchanan as sym.
palhizer with the South and traitor because
he did not take measures to NIP the rebel
lion in The bud; in other words, because he
did not inaugurate the war by attacking the
confederates before the assault upon Fort
Sumptar. This matter has been the founda
ton for persistent slander upon the Democ.
racy and constant villifcation of Mr.. Bnchan
an. But when it becomes necessary to jnst''
fy the acts Of their own favorites. these lick
spi,tles are prompt to ex,ol this very course
Of Mr.. Buchanan as wise and patriotic. For
instance Mr.. Blair, Postmaster General un
der Mr.. Lincoln, recently made some very
damaging charges against Judge Advocate
Holt, who WAS in Mr. Buchanans Cabinet,
in relation to the neglect 10 relieve Fort
Sump,er. In justifying his own conduct
Holt finds it necessary to do justice to Mr..
Buchanan and to demonstrate the knavery
of his own present associates. He now de,
cIares that Mr.. Buchanan's policy was "the
true policy" In his reply to Blair he says:
THAT the batteries around Sumpter were
not fired upon, while in the course Of con-
struction, because The President shrunk
from the dread respon >bility Of nauguratng
civil war, and deemed forbcarance his duty.
not because he was restrained by any agree,
ment or understanding whatever. Looking
at the glorious results of the war, and re-
membering how wonderousy Providence has
deal, with US in its progress, and how sub>
timely the firing upon instead Of from Fort
Sumpter, served TO arouse, instruct and unite
the nation. and to intame its martial and
patriotic spirit, we stand awe struck and
mute, and that man would be bold indeed,
who in the dresence of all that has occurred,
should now venture to maintain that the
policy Of forbearance was not, at the mo,
'nenl, the true policy.
