General Brewster, Vice President of the b.

tack. A letter from him informs the company
that the depredations caused no Interruption in

if something is not quickly done, will be almost

The w Ork before the National Union
Party. t


The Washington Chronicle of tho
20th inst, devotes long article TO the
work before the "National Union par
ty," in which it advises tho union of
those whose eounsels have preserved
the Government, upon u platform of
principles which will insure their fu-
ture success. We make the following
extract from this article:
The materials for tho base, the su-
pcrstructure, the solid walls, and tho
crowniDg canopy Of a great National
Union party are, we conceive, TO be
found in the following plain PROPOSE
tions:
l. That tho rebellion neither des-
troyed tho Republic nor tho States of
which it Is composed.
2. That slavery having provoked
and hastencd and fought for the rebel
lion, it was forfeited by the first gun
fired by treason, was destroyed by tho
destruction of the rebel armies, and
was buried in the same grave with tho
rebellion itself.
3. That tho four millions of human
beings made free by the success Of the
Union erms must be protected in their
efforts TO labor for and to elevate and
instruct themselves; end that the gov
ernment should adopt such u policy as
will forever prevent thcm from being
made tho victims of tho cruelty fthcir
former masters.
4. That to pay the national debt,
principal and interest, is an obligation
as sacred and as binding as the cove
nant to maintain the Union and the
obedience we owe to God.
5. That not one farthing of the debt
incurred to begin and to prosecute the
rebellion should ever be recognized by
tho Government or the people of the
United States, or regarded save as q
monument of tho fatal delusion and
unspeakablo rctribution of tho mon
who took arms against their bonefac.
tor and friend.
G. That mono of the authors and lead
ers Of the rebellion should ever be ad-
mitted to places Of trust or honor un-
der the General Government.
7. That hcnccforward tho energies
of tho people of tho restored Union
should be devoted to tho developmcntof
tho. natural resources Of the whole
country, to tho protection of tho do
mestic industries and manufactures,
and to tho perfection Of those great
connecting overland thoroughfares by
which all sections and States are
brought and bound together, and the
whole fabric of American freedom wo-
ven into one indestructiblo and inyio-
liable Constitution and Government.

New York Democrat on Democracy.
General Peck, of New York, was
from his youth, a Jealous Democrat,
Creceiving his cadetship fromPresident
Van Buren,, until slavery made war
upon the government. And now, with
a perfect knowledge of the duplicity of
his old associates, he says;
Fellow Democrats, beware of that
party which was for and against the
war, which opposed the Draft Law,
and is responsible for untold millions
of bounty money. Beware of that
party which declared The war q failure,
and was rejected by the people in No
vember last, by an extraordinary ma
jority. Beware of that party which
would have received the rebel States
with all their slaves, and indcmnifed
their owners for losses. Beware of tho
party which is throwing every obsta-
Gle in tho canvass for the defeat Of tho
proposed amendment to the Constitu-
tion of the United States. Beware of
that party whose opposition to,thc 60.
vernment in 1862 and 1868, united the
divided south, made the rebels san.
guine of success, and. emboldened their
base allies in Europe. Beware of that
party whose policy, direct and indi
rect has prolonged the war at least
eighteen months, and is responsible to
the tax payers, to families and histo-
ry, for the consequent losses and ex-
pcnditures. Beware of that party
which, in Now York, is striving to
cover up its record and blind tho poo
pie, by pretended conversion to the
views of President Johnson, and by
marvellous outburst of love for the sol
dicrs. An examination of the plat.
forms of Now Jersey, Ohio, Pennsyl-
vania, Connecticut and other States,
show that it is all trick and sham.-
The peaceful leopard, Democracy, can.
not change its spots.
Modern Democracy is drifting with.
out compass or ruddor, ard with no
light save that which occasionally
flashes from its ancient record.

LETTERS FROM NEVADA.
NUMBER 6.

CARSON Cry, NEVADA, }
September lst., 1865. )
My OLD FRIENDS;
Following the Virginia road
four miles from Carson, wo pass the
Mexican mill, and leaving the "SiTver"
canon on our left, drive on through
Empire and along the Carson river
three or four miles farther, when we
reach Dayton. This is q pleasant lit
tic town about the size of Carson and
Washoe, where number of fine mills
are situated, and is in the vicinity OF
several good mines, and is the last
town Of any size we reach before leav-
ing it on cur left for the Como dis
trict, or behind US as wo 60 east to-
ward the Reese River and Humboldt
mining regions. Dayton is also the
last town wo pass through before CON-
ing 10 Fort Churchill, the only militia
ry post of any note in Nevada. Fort
Churchill was laid out in tho spring Of
1860, Just after terrible Indian mas
sacre occurred on tho old cmigrant
road, ten miles beyond. 1t is the
most substantially built, and convent
emily laid out post on the frontier, the
houses are all large, and so well ar.
ranged that flower full, and the allot-
ted apartments are given to each Off
Ger he will not be crowded, and if a
limited number are stationed thero,
each ono can have house to himself,
and not find it too much. 1t is situa
ted on tho north side Of the river,
about thirty five miles east of Carson,
and tho only attractions it can boast,
are its comfortable quarters for both
officers and mon, and its fine level pa
rade ground. Ihave spent many de-
lightful days thcre, and one of our
principle amusemonts was TO mako
ambulance excursions across the river,
over hills and valleys, covered with
low pines and luxuriant grass, about
twenty miles to Walker river, where
thopei is an Indian reservation, which
is we'll timbered and contains fine
meadows for bay; and there VIC would
fish for trout, and bribe an Indian
with few hooks oEa blanket to gath
or us some buffalo berries. These ber'
rics are small, about tho sizo and col

"To c. G. Humphreys, Governor elect,
Jackson, Mississippi,
"Tho troops will be withdrawn from
Mississippi when in the opinion of the
Government, peace and order, and the
civil authority, has been restored, and
can be maintained without them.-
Every step will be taken while they
are there, to enforce strict discipline
and snbordination TO the civil authori-
ty. There can be no other or greater
assurance given than has heretofore
been given, on the part of tho Presi-
dent or Government. There is no con-
cession required on thepart of the peo-
pie of Mississippi, or the Legislature,
other than loyal compliance with the
laws and constitution of tho Unitcd
States, and the adoption of such mea-
sures, giving protection TO all freed
men or frecmen, in person and proper
ty, without regard to color, as will en-
title them to resume all their constitu-
tional relations in the Federal Union.
The people of Mississippi may feel well
assured that there is no disposition, on
tho part of the Government, to arbi.
trarily dictate what action should be
had but, on the contrary, to simply
and kindly advice policy that it is
believed will result in restoring all the
relations which should exist betwecn
the States comprising the Federal
Union. 1t is hoped that they will ap-
preeiate andfeei the suggestions hcre-
in made, for they are offered in that
spirit which should pervade the bosoms
OF all those who desire poaco and har-
mony and thorough restoration of
tho Union. There must be confidence
between tho Government and the
States, and while the Government con-
fides in the people, the people must
havo faith in tho Government. This
must be mutual and ,reciprocaI, or all
that has been dono will bo thrown
away.

The vessels in the above list were
all destroyed excepting tho last four,
which werc, bonded, simply because
Waddle wanted to get rid of his pris-
oners. Tho war having by this timo
been brought to close, Waddle was
soon informed of tho fact, but he at
footed not to believe this, as it was not
to bis interest to do so, but he still con-
tinued his plunder and wanton des-
truction of tho property of American
citizens. The British Government
were at last compelled to dispatch
vessel to put o stop TO the ravages OF
the pirate. For the last month or so,
her movements have been shrouded
in mystery, and tho next we hear of
her is in the port of Liverpool. Tho
entire history is fine commentary on
the manner in which the neutrality of
the mother country" has been main
tained, and it will certainly be strange
if our Government does not tako o do
cisiye stand in tho matter.

Captain Henry Wirtz was Jutcherc,l

Commission. Wo had hoped the
President of tho United States would

Of this bloody tragedy, which will al.

ptrc, Nor. 11th.
Similar notices of tho execution of
Wiz appeared in nearly every Cop,
pcrhcad paper. They, almost without
exception, characterized the execution
of this monstrous man as butchery.-
The man who murdered number of
Union soldiers with his own hand, and
who killed hundreds Of others by star
vation and cruel treatment, is q fit
man to be u Copperhcad martyr. If
he did any diabolcal and inhuman
service for the rebels, he is u Copper
head hero and pet at onco. Such ex-
tracts as the above are only additional
proof OF tho intense hatred which the
Copperheads cherish toward the Gov.
ernmcnt and the brave mon who saved
it from overthrow.

what an Iron Bar Became.

A bar of iron worth fivo dollars,
worked into horse-shocs, is worth ton
dollars and half made into needles,
IL is worth S3b5; mado into ponknifo
blades, il is worth 81, ,285; made into
balance springs Of watches, it is worth
$3.50, 600.
What drilling tho poor bar must
undergo to reach all that; but ham
metcd and beaten and pounded and
rolled and rubbed and polished, how
was it's valuo increased? 1t might
we'll have quivered and complained
pndor tho hard knocks it got; but
woro they not all necessary to draw
ogt ito fino qualities, and fit it for
higher Offices?
And so, oil tho drilling and train
ing to which you are subject, all tho
trials and hpEdsbips, thumps and pains
which often seems SO hard to you,
serve 10 bring out yoSr noblor and
finer qualities, and to fit yop for more
responsible posts and greater useful
ness in the world.
