A Word OF Caution.

Tonight the Union Primaries are held thro'-
out the county, and next Thursday, 18th, the
Union Convention win meet in WeayerviIle to
nominate ticket to be voted for at the Septem-
Der election. We would impress upon the minds
of Union men the Importance of guarding against
the spirit of faction and disorganization which
unfortunately has commenced cropping out in
some portions of the State. San Francisco has
set bad example, which is being initiated in
Nevada and Placer counties. If many Others
follow the precedent, that very state of things
will be presented which Copperheads are hoping
for, to enable them to join the g sore-head .
faction and thus be reinstated to power. Their
paws have been kept out of the public crib so
long that they nearly famished ; their lean
and hungry appearance cannot be mistaken.
The Union Conventions of Shasta and Siski-
YOU have met and done their work harmonious
ly, presenting such names for office as will re-
ceive the united support of the Union party
One thing is morally necessary for the permanent
success of the Union party-the selection of men
for Office who are honest and capable. If the or
ganization is to be controlled by Inscriptions
politicians and party hacks who will stUop to
any means, however unprincpled to secure the
advancement of favorite or some tool for fu-
ture use, the Union party will degenerate
into all the corruptions which have complete
ly demoralized and overthrown the reasonable
Democratic party.
The practice of 90 stocking" Conventions, and
of buying and selling, or swapping votes, should
be frowned down The people should be let
alone, and permitted to send delegates to the
Convention unpledged to any one, and free
from bias or prejudice juryman selected to
try man for his life. Persons who have so
little self-respect as to push themselves forward
for positions for which they are as unfit as New
Zealander should be rebuked by the people
their first appearance before them as beggars for
office. And Gorernors and United States Senators
should particularly refrain from interfering with
the will of the people, but leave them perfectly
free to regulate their own affairs in their own
way.

VINO CAS BEAT IT ?-On the morning of the
4th flag hoated from the peak of the majestic
pine standing in the grounds of VIM. Little, at
Faggtown, just one hundred and nnety-fve feet
from the ground The tree is one hundred and
eighty feet high. A mast thirty feet in length
was taken up and dashed at the peak, projecting
fifteen feet above the extreme top of the tree
The feat of placing the top-mast in position was
performed by II. c. Osgood, and was one which
but few persons would care to attempt. The Old
Flag foated majestically from its high position
as the rose above the horizon on tie s9th
Anniversary OF American independence; and
the people looked upon it with reverence, remem-
bcring that the edict had gone forth that on that
day all who stood beneath the shadow of its
folds were FOREVER FREE If anywhere on the
Pacific coast flag hoated at a higher altitude
than this, last Tuesday, we should like TO know it,

that great part OF the business portion of Idaho
City was destroyed by fire few weeks ago.
John Driver, old resident of this county. and
who has been packing between Umatlla and that
point for year two, had just sold his interest
in the train (some seventy mules to his partner.
While the fire still raging he mounted fleet
animal and started for Umatilla obtaining flesh
animals occasionally on the route. Arrived ut
that point, long before the news of the fire was
received, he bought large stock of such mer-
chandise as had been consumed, engaged trans
portatiou, and on the following day on his
way to Idaho City with his cargo. Our inform
ant had not learned the amount realized by John
in this shrewd transaction, but we have reason
to believe that his investment brought him
handsome return. Driver is an Industrious,
worthy man, and deserving Of good luck.

We respectfully submit the following sugge5-
tions of the Marysvlle Appel for the consilerA-
ton of Union men in this county:
THE BoLrER's DooM.-Let every Union man
who signs a boilers call for Convention under
stand that his signature lets him cut OF the N
ion organization. If it can be asccrtained that
Gov Low is encouraging bolts in every county
where he loses the Convention, that too will let
him out of the Union caucus as Il candidate. II
these Nevada boilers should lie elected to the
Legsla of which there is not much danger,
they cannot vote with the Union men i'll caucus.
There are Union men in Nevada who have utterly
destroyed all hopes of political advancement.
How can they hereafter ask Ken to go into prl-
maries Or Conventions with them? If they do
20 into Conventions with them one will be
under any obligations to remain true to them
SO it VIII be in Placer, if Il boiling ticket Is got
up there. SO it would be in Yuba if politicians
could be found so desperate. 40 prudent man.
aspiring to Office, will be 50 silly as TO sion Lis
own death warrant.

TINsLEY S PASSENGER AND FREIGHT EXPRESS
We are to be placed in semi-weekly stage com
munication with North Fork, and Alex. Tinsley
is the man who proposes to furnish the transport
tation facilities. 1t is a good move, and one
WHICH we positive must succeed. Mr. Tins
ley has purchased fine team and lO-passenger,
thorough brace wagon. Proposes to leave North
Fork for Weavervile every Wednesday and Sat-
urday mornings, returning same day. Passen-
gers and freight will be carried at low rates A
general express business will be transacted, and
all orders entrusted 10 the proprietor of the new
line will be promptly filled.
Mr.. Tinsley is good business man, and will
succeed beyond doubt. His new line will be
a convenience and benefit to North Fork and
Weaverville, and intermediate points as well
Hopes entertained that the unfinished piece
of road between Buffers and McGillvrav's will
be finished this season, and the necessity of
fording the river done away with The new line
will make travel for the route, and the people of
North Fork Big Flat and other points will be
placed in semi-weekly communication with the
county seat. Travel on this route is increasing,
and will continue to increase The river coun-
try from Canadian Bar TO Burnt Ranch is rich in
gold many people are going there, as well as
to New River and other points in the northwest
part Of TIE county. Encourage the enterprise.
New RIvER.-We are glad to hear that people
are beginning to flock this heretofore partially
prospected section. Some thirty or forty people
went in early this season. and every week brings
new recruits In what is properly known as the
Rev River country there are miles and miles Of
country which strangely enough have never been
disturbed by pick and shovel, for where work is
going good pay is realized. Some two or
three weeks ago party of Mexicans located
claims and went to work. In a day or two they
uncarthed some handsome specimens, weighing
from one 10 three ounces. The nature of the
gold found will convince any one that the New
River basin must be q sort of special deposit for
the precious metal as it is generally found in
particles weighing from S to five and six ounces.
The miner has no trouble in endeavoring to save
fine gold for such does not exist in those dig
gings. Mr.. V. Caraway has started merchan-
disc establishment, where all articles required
by miners will be found at all times and Jos.
Lagasse has opened market which will be kept
constantly supplied with every variety of fresh
meats which can be obtained. We have great
faith in this New River country, and hope to see
people possessed of little money and fair
share of enterprise populate it.

Bend we DER the hallowed bed,
Where Nations grief is blended

How securely thou hast bound us;
Wound thy gentleness and love,
Like silken chain around us,
How shall we our loss regaini
Where our consolation borrowi
Words are weak and phrases vain
To express Nations sorrow.

Claimed no more than be hath given;
Martyr to His cause on earth,
Reap thy rich reward In Heaven.

Their Country's honor to maintain,
