THE DIFFERENcE.--Andrew johnson never
makes speech without parade of the personal
pronoun l. speaking of the sacrifices he has
made, the services he has rendered, and the
great things he is about to accomplish. If any
one were to place confidence in his declarations
and speeches, he would come to the conclusion
that there was only one public man of any ac-
count in the United States, and that man was
Andy johnson. He is never found wasting any
words on the heroes Of the war not he, Grant,
Sherman and Sheridan may have done some
thing of considerable note in the dark hours of
rebellion but nothing is heard about them from
Andy Johnson. The latter individual is the
theme and burden of his political songs alto
gether other public men are secondary charac-
ters in his estimation. How different in bearing
and speech is General Grant, who, when praised
for his ability and that of his officers in bringing
the war to its termination, remarked:
at was the men in the ranks who ended the
war all we could do to bring then, in con-
tact with the enemy. 1t was the weight of their
patriotism, their character, their spirit Of subor-
dnation and self-sacrfce which turned the scale.
They must in the end have succeeded had We
never been rn.''-Sacrdmcnto Union.

JEFF. DAVIS NERVOUS SYsTEM.-Dr. George
Cooper, Post Surgeon at Fortress Monroe, reports
that jeff. Davis nervous system is greatly de.
ranged. The cause is attributed to the want of
sleep that Davis cannot sleep because of the
tramp of sentinels at the Fortress. We doubt
not that JEFF s nervous system is greatly shaken,
and the cause may be attributed to the want OF
sleep. But the tramp of those sentinels do not
disturb his rest Itis the tramp of the half mill
ion soldiers marching in eternity-the cravings
of guilty and perturbed conscience. Remove
the soldiers, or carpet the halls they patrol, but
no relief will come. 1t is the beginning OF eter-
nal punishment.-NdrysriHe Appeal.

THE REoRGANIzED MILIrIA.-The Board for the
reorganization of the State Militia met on the
10th of last month. Under the new law the
militia is reduced to sixty-four infantry compa-
nies, and twelve cavalry and four artillery
The Sacramento Bee in this connection, remarks
that the value of this branch of the service needs
no better proof than the readiness with which
the first Federal armies were raised both here
and at the East Had it not been for the militia
through which so large a proportion of our pop
ulation acquired knowledge of arms, to ac-
cumulate at such brief notice afforded SO
large an army would have been impossible In
all the campaigns in which the country has been
engaged, the militia have furnished the finest
specimens of soldiers and the most thorough
going officers, and at the same time the most
loyal, while West Point gave many of its gradu-
ates, including Jeff. himself, to the Southern
armies 1t conceded that finer body of
men not incorporated in the service than
those who hailed from California. Judging from
the precautions and pains now being taken, our
new militia organization will constitute one of
the most available corps in the Union.
Hereafter, the Fifth Brigade, General Bid
we'll 81 is to be composed of the following compa
nes :-Orovlle Guard, at Oroville Lyon Light
Infantry, at Shasta Lassen Rangers, at Red
Bluff; Siskiyou Light Guard, at Yreka La Porte
Guard, at La Porte; and the Honey Lake
Rangers, Cavalry at Susanville. The Compa-
nies at Chico, French Gulch, Weavervile and
Douglas City are to be mustered out. From
this it will be seen that Trinity is left entirely
out in the cold in the apportionment of the State
Guard. Why this is so, we cannot understand.
No mustering-out orders have vet been received
by either of the Trinity companies.

THE Humboldt (Nevada) Register narrates a
bloody episode in sage-brush life, in which q no.
body but an Indian - was killed The story runs
in this wise go An Indian boy, perhaps fifteen
years of age, was captured in one of the last
years raids, and has been since kept by SOL
dier. few mornings since he was at the edge
of town with Maynard carbne He fred-as
he says, at bird-and just as he did so, Char
ley Rountree came up from the opposite side of
a small knoll which separated them. The hall
struck him in the head and he died in few
hours. A shading of improhability attaches to
the Indian boys story, for the reason that he
fought Charley the day before, impartnga black
eye" Think we see it, but not in that light.

WHY SLIGHT TRISITY.-We notice by the Yre-
ka Journal that the State Superintendent of In
struction delivered an address there on the 10Th.
We see no mention of his having called at Shas-
ia, and are positive that he did not come to Trim
ity. 1t may be that the appropriation made by
the Legislature to defray his travelling expenses
was exhausted by the time he reached Yreka.-
He may consider himself loser in not coming to
take look at the specimens of architectural
beauty designated as Trinity oo-houses.

Billings AND THE CABINET SEAr.-The Wood
stock (VermonD Standard, with reference to the
recommendation of Fred Billings to Cabinet
seat, says in view Of a division ON the pending
issues "a We have no authority to speak for
Mr.. Billings, but will venture to say that he will
be found warm supporter of the majority in
Congress, and earnestly favoring equality of civ

the indigenous growth of Vermont soil, and

service during the first years of rebellion par

Wilmington, Charleston and Mobile. He was
assigned to the Pacific squadron in 1864 where

The main points in the above communication
ire well taken, and the ideas exactly in keeping
With our own. We want to see this old " Dem
,cratic " idea that portion of our fellow be-
ngs must be reared in ignorance because their
kin happens to be shade darker than that of
he "ruling race, wiped out, as it most assur-
IDLY will be. Within week an effort has been
made in Weaverville District to crowd these chill
lren out of the Schools and deprive them of the
educational advantages to which they are enti-
led by every law of nature and justice. Fortu-
,ately there is majority of parents in this Dis
rict who believe that
F1eecy locks and black complexion
Do not forfeit natures claim
Those who favored their election very well know
hat there is not sufficient number of these chill
iren to entitle them to a separate School under
he existing law. The Trustees promptly took
he bull by the horns" and we most happy
o announce, throwed him.
