Clayes has long been connected with the
press of this State, and has won the respect
and esteem Of all who know him. By his
indomitable energy and enterprise, the hide
pendent which was at first published at San
Andreas, in this county, as a weekly, has
become firmly established in Stockton as a
daily, and will compare favorably with its
contemporaries. We are pleased to be able to
chronicle the success of newspaper man.

on him in his new sphere of action
Messrs. Ransom Beham, of the Copper
opolis Courier, have purchased the San An
dreas Register. In assuming control the
new proprietors assure the public that, come
what may, sink or swim, they promise TO
stand by the Union. Messrs. Ransom & Be-
ham are fully competent to conduct paper
as it should be, and we have no doubt but
that under their management the Register
will redeem itself. 1t has been rather milk

now guide its destinies ere straightforward,
honest, working, Union men, and we are
confident will do all that lays in their power
to support and sustain the Union party in
this county. We quote from their salutatory ::
There is one promise they hesitate not to
make to the friends and patrons of the Regis
ter. and pledge themselves BY all that men
hold most sacred to redeem it at sight, what
ever may betide. "Sink or swim, live or
die, survive or PERISH" they promise to stand
by the old Ship of State while there is stick
of timber left, or shred of rigging. That
glorious old banner, that symbolizes sthe
land of the free and the home of the brave"
shall ever be to them dearer than life, and to
protect it against all foes, from within and
without, their first duty.
OHe otHer promise tney Will give, that ur-
der no circumstances, whatever the excite
ment or provocatlon, will they s.oop to per-
sonalities in their discussions and controvers-
les. Names are nothing, principles every
thing, and hence, the former have no bust
ness in public journal except so far as they
are the opponents of the latter.
We wish them success in their undertak-
ing.
The Solano Herald. one of the best interior
papers in the State, has entered upon a new
volume with fiattering prospects that its fu-
ture will be as bright as the past hiss been
prosperous. We are glad of it,
The Amador Ledger, our enterprising, roll
licking. spicy, "trans-river" contemporary,
has commenced the twelfth year OF its exist
ence. 1t is one of the best local papers pub
lished in the mining counties, and is sound
on the Union. 1t has struggled manfully to
rescue Amador from the bilghting thraldorn
OF rebel rule, and. although its persistent eff
forts have not been crowned with the success
they merit, it applies itself to the herculean
task with redoubled energy and persever-
ance which must succeed. We wish the
Ledger many years and continual prosperity.
