War In Peace Time.

War In Peace Time. -. .
Now thst the rebellion is subdued, would
it not be well for our people to give up
the habit Of denouncing the South? Il
should be remembered that the Southern
people are not aliens, but fellow-citizens;
and the feelings Of hostility should besha-
ken off and those of brotherhood and
civility cultivated in their place. Plainly,
this is essential to the harmony and future
prosperity of the country Now that
slaveryis abolished, there is no presext
for the indulgence of sectional feeling, and
we ought all rather to rejoice and take an
interest in everything tending to promote
the prosperity and welfare Of our coun-
trymen at the. South. It should not be
forgotten that the States of the South are
a fair portion of our country, in whose
welfare as whole, and in whose reputa-
ton and integrity we should feel a COM
mon interest and pride. If the radical
papers and politicians will continue their
abuse, at least let all others forbear. The
radicals were never Unionists at heart,
and they will always rave and rant if not
permitted to prey at will upon the people
of section which they so foolishly and
fanatically hate.
1t would seem more dignifed, and GER
tainly much less ike anxiety to accom-
plish bipartisan political end, if the radicals
would wait decent length of time, at
least Until something blameworthy has
been dine, before oondemning a race of
people. 1t is generally supposed that the
people Of the South are exhibiting g very
commendable spirit, and behaving remark
ably well under all the circumstances.
But it il sadly PROBABLE that we have poll
ticians who design and desire to keep the
country in trouble, and to make d;ssen-
sion the normal and Interchangeable condi-
ton of things. In times Of peace and
calm, demagoeue nix out of sight more
easily than in til f excitement Hence
their desire to k~s me war alive
kRvHuE DE0sios.-The Commissioner
of Internal Revenue has decided that q
policy Of insurance, issued by an accident
insurance company, which contains clause
covering the cause of death from acct
dental injury, is to be regarded as life
insurance policy, and is subject to stamp
duty like other insurance companies. And
again, whenever writ subject to stamp
duty, but which has been issued I'M
stamped, is afterwards stamped in the
manner allowed by Law, such stamping
relates back to the time when the writ
was Issued, and makes valid alb inisio.
II the writ WAS issued prior to April /
1866, it should be stamped under the pro-
vision of section 1873 Of the date of July
80, 1854. II since the case falls under
section So OF said act, az amended by the
act Of March 8, 1866, -, b.

A SHoDDY ARIsTocRAT.-The Chicago Re
publican tells Of q pork contractor for the
Federal army, who, having made the grand
tower" presented himself. a short time back,
at sculptor's atelier 10 Rome, and stated his
intention Of sending an enduring memento OF
himself to adcrn his native place in America
With an admirable candor, be explained to the
artist that he had begun life as poor boy,
selling matches, aud by lucky speculation had
attained bis present gigantic greatness. "Now,
he continued, i've seen monument in this
city as suits my views to a nicely. A kinder
column with little fggers runnin' up all round
it, and chap at the top" "Trajans column,
suggested the artist. "P'raps it mag be; and
/ wish you to sculp me just SIGH another, a
workiO' out the whole of my bigraii, beginnin'
at the bottom with boy sellin' matches, and
then winding up till it ends with an easy
attitood at the top

The Shenandoah gone Home.

A telegram dated Chicago, Nov. 10th, says:
The pirate Shenandoah is at Liverpool, and
has surrendered to the British Government"
Considering it in all its bearings, this news is
certainly refreshing. After wholesale de
struction of our whaling vessels as the closing
scene of British neutrality in our war. the
Shenandoah is hometrard bound, stopping, of
course, at British ports, for supplies, as it will
be remembered the English authorities, 10
Withdrawing beIigerent rights from the rebels,
granted their naval forces reasonable time" to
reach British waters 10 order to disarm-in
other words, 10 60 home. The armies of the
Confederacy, doubtless, If they bad been pro-
vided with the facilities, would have preferred
being allowed reasonable time" to reach
British waters" 10 order 10 'disarm." Capt.
Waddel, of the Shenandoah, may not be ion-
lied as Capt. Semmes, of the Alabama, was,
after bis vessel was sunk by the kearsarge, and
himself, a prisoner by the laws of war, rescued
from bis legitimate eaptors by the English
yacht Deerhound- act of neutrality"
But il Wsddell is not so lionized, it is only
because the rebellion has collapsed, and the
United States has now time to attend TO foreign
affairs; and John Bull, if he has no respect for
the United States since her terrible viDdicaton
Of her power both on land and water, has a
very wholesome appreciation, if not fear, of
those monitors whose teachings be has no am-
bItion to receive. The Shenandoah may,
therefore, be given up to our Government, but
it will be only diplomatic concession, and will
not compensate for the long list Of treacheres
and piracies committed upon the United States
under the cloak of British neutrality" There
is yet bitter experience in store for Great
Britain, if our Government does not tamely
submit TO equally as great outrages as were
ever perpeirated by that power IN exercising
the right of search" and carrying off sailors
from our ships. The English Government
comedies nothing as right unless by the rule
that might makes right, and that is the rule
our Government should at once adopt towards
her. that she may become familiarized with it
in all its workings.

THE UNION RECORD.
OROvILLE. SATURDAY. NOV. Is, 1865

EAST TEssEssEE.-A terrible state of affairs
has existed in that region, as consequence
of rebellion, throughout the war. and has not
improved very much yet, if We may credit
Brownlow's Knoxville Wing aud Rebel Nent-
lator Old rebels and young ones, who took
leading part 10 hunting down the loyalists,
imprisoniDg. starving or numbering them, hare
been spotted. and in defiance Of amnesty are
being held (sarfuly responsible for their
crimes. Some of the most prominent are beng
killed every treek Cox, a malignant rebel and
Spy for Longstreet, tras shot in KnozriAs the
other day, by young man whose father bad
been one of bis victims" Upon this, Brown
lows paper says: While we regret the ne
cessity of such occurrences. society will suffer
but little BY dispatching such characters as
Cox"

LOYAL BAPrIsTs.-The loyal Baptist prea-
chers of Missouri held State Convention at
Hannibal recently, and gave the heartiest sup
port to the Government, with correspondingly
heartily knocks at the rebels The President
read letter from Rev. L. j. Tatum, OF Her.
mitage, Missouri. the region of the greatest
guerrilla warfare. Accompanying this was q
copy of the minutes of new association in
that locality called Freedom" Its Constitu.
fion requires that churches desiring admittance
"must first make reconciliation at home by
declaring nonfellowship with the rebellion -
The President said this was a voice of en-.
enlargement from a source least expected.
There might be something in name" The
Freedom Association was made member OF
the Convention at once.

Thanksgiving Proclamation.

Enter into His gates with Thanksgiving, and
into His courts with praise"
In obedience to the time hoDored belief of
our fathers, that States, as well as individuals,
should publicly acknowledge the Supremacy
of Divine Power, and in accordance with the
recommendation of the President of the United
States, do hereby appoint THURSDAY, TIE
1TH DAY OF DECEMBER NEXT, as day when
the people Of California may unite with the
people Of her sister States in Public Thanks
givings to the Great Ruler Of the Universe
Let that day be set apart throughout our
borders for religious exercises in our churches,
and social festivities in our homes for upon
no occasion, since the foundation Of the Re-
public, has there been so much reason 10 rec
ognize the hand OF God 10 our concerns.
While others land have been scourged with
epidemic disease. We have enjoyed during the
year the uumeasured blessings of health. Our
schools and seminaries are 10 fourishing con-
dition. Our mines are still yielding of their
abundance; our harvests have been plenteous :;
and all our Industrial pursuits have prospered
in 40 unusual degree. But above all, and more
than all, we have reason TO rejoice that peace
has been restored to our beloved country
The deluge of blood through which, for four
years, the Nations flag was carried, has been
stayed by an Almighty hand. The black cloud
OF war and desolaton has been lifted, and
Victory appears inscribed in letters Of living
light upon its silver lining, to gladden. the hearts
of an earnest, humane, and Christian people
The war for the Union has eliminated in the
triumph of liberal principles, and complete
vindcatiou of constitutional authority. Slavery
has been destroyed in the conflict Of arms and
under the blessing OF God the Republic Is once
more united upon the basis of equal and exact
Justice to all lis citizens. Let Us, then, mngle
with our thanksgiviugs such acts of kindness
to the friendless, and such words of sympathy
to those who may be in distress, as shall testify
an humble and grateful spirit in the midst of
our boundless blessings.
10 witness whereof, have hereunto set my
hand, and caused the Great Seal of State to be
affixed, at Sacramento, this tenth day of No
vember, A D. 1868.

porter says that Mr.. George Rowley, of Soda
Valley, killed a bear recently, which he dis.
covered making free with his bee hives. His

company and alone has succeeded in killing
one mau and any number of cattle, hogs, sheep
and other small game. He weighs something
more thsn 1000 pounds, and carried several

BLUE STONE SPRCULATIoy.-Th Red Bluff
Independent says: The money sharks Of
San Francisco are always on the look out for
something by which they can rob the interior
counties of their hard earnings. The farmers,
this time, are alone the sufferers. The sharks
have bought up oil the blue stone, and now
report it scarce, and raise the price. Blue
stone which could be got for twenty cents per
