We would rather be defeated a thousand

We would rather be defeated thousand
times, says the Gettysburg Compiler, battling
for the Union and for constitutional liberty,
than to be crowned with victory in the
ranks of the radicals. The spirit of reckless
and bloody fanaticism has triumphed over
calm reason, but we can lay our hands upon
our hearts and thank our God that we had
not part in the triumph. We fought 1t to
the bitter end. and went down with our
colors flying. We will continue TO fight ii
and score Of defeats shall not drive US
from our purpose. We bow, as we always
have done, to the verdict Of the ballot bcx:
yet our belief that the only safety for the
country is to be found u the principles and
policy advocated by the Democratic party,
is too deeply laid and too firmly grounded
to be shaken by the fact that in a vote OF
six hundred thousand our opponents have
been enabled, through the appliances and
expenditure Of money, to secure majority
of sixteen thousand.

The HOSPITAL LlBRARY.-Rev. N. H.
Peck informs us, that through bis recon-
mendation and the American Billie Society,
at San Fraacsco he has been able to con-
tribute about % volumes towards starting
this library. This makes very good begin
ming. Among the lumber of books con-
tribu,ed are bib les in several different LAM
guages. We would suggest to the Board
of Supervisors to have book case made and
then no doubt the citizens of the county will,
by their contributions soon fill it with vau-
able reading matter for the perusa of the
INDECENT sick.

U. S. AssEssoRsHIp. The case of Avery
VS. United States, was up in the United States
Court, at San Francisco, few days since.
The demurrer Of Avery was overrued by
Judge Hoffman, and be was allowed six days
in which to file his answer. Avery will
eventually fiud that the "usurpng" business
won't win. The Radical press have shown a
great deal Of sympathy for the fellow, but
he's like Captain SCOTS coon, "he's got to
come down." Rather hard though on Avery
and bis ympathzers.

DECENDENTs EsrATEs.-In the Supreme
Court of Connecticut there has recently
been decided a curious case. A man and
his wife having teen killed by railroad
accident, the heirs Of each brought suit and
recovered $4,000 in each case. The money
obtained for the death Of the wife went to
her iheirs, and the question before the
Supreme Court was whether the 81 900
recovered by the death Of the man should
90 to his or the wfes heirs. She having sur.
vived few hours, the Court decided that
the wife's heirs should have the money.

HEAVY SroRM.-This week has been
regular '49-er. The rain has been bountitu.
On Thursday ii hardly ceased pouring down.
1t reminded us very much of the storm OF
'62. Although the water in Auburn Rasine
did not reach as high as in that year, still
our "lhtle river" was booming, and at Ophir
the water was higher than it ever has
been since lS40. We hear of 20 great dis
asters, as yet, in the mountains save few
caves on the Railroad, and blowing down of
some telegraph wire, which will be soon re-
paired. The people of Sacramento should
congratulate themselves on their "hgh
grade," for they will need it TO protect
them from the immense amount OF water
that is now flowing down from the noun
taius. Yesterday the Sacramento valley
presented view as if it was one vast sheet
of water. and there is no doubt the flood has
done an immense amount Of damage.
The Placer herald., 1866-12-22

Found DEAD.-Yesterday morning a man
was found dead near Auburn Station. He
was thnly clad, and when found only had
on shirt and one sock. He had evidently
laid out in the storm Thursday night, and
from the marks npon his legs be appeared
to have been running through the chaparel
We did not learn the name of the unfortu-
nate man, but are informed he has recently
been at work on ranch, somewhere in this
vicinity.
Just as we were going to press last eve.
ming we received information that the dead
man. showed signs of life, and had been ia.
ken to the County Hospital.

WILL IT FILL UP.-Conversng with a
friend the other day, who resides at the Bay,
be expressed the opinion that eventually the
debris washed down from the mountains
would fl in the Bay Of San Francisco and out
towards the Golden Gate, to such an extent
that bar will be formed making it difficult
for shipping to enter the port. This opinion,
although not new, is very probably correct.
Annually the amount Of dirt that .linds its
way to the lower. country from the mountains
is immense. The only question in our mind
is. whether The current out of the Golden
Gate is strong enough to carry the sediment
out to sea and leave the Bay clear. Ii is, no
doubt, question that will require serious
consideration in the future.
1t is well known that the "Hog's back" is
rising higher and higher every year. and the
question naturally suggests ITSELF will not
Sacramento become an inland city!

SACRAMENTO CITY REPORTED TO BE OVER
FLOWED Previous to going to press last eve
ming, it was reported that Sacramento was
again under water. We could trace the re-
port, however, to no reliable source. 1t may
have originated from the fact that the cars
failed to arrive. That the flood has done
considerable damage TO the Railroad below
there can now be no doubt, bat how much
we are unable to ascertain.
Since writing the above, we have convers-
ed with VIM. Hamilton, who left Sacrament
to yesterday morning. The city, when he
left, was all right and there was no signs OF
an overflow; however, the heavy body Of
water had not then reached the city, what
effect it will have remains to be seen. The
railroad is badly damaged at the crossing Of
Dry Creek, and in the vicinity of the Ar
cade House. The repairs will be completed
in few days, in the meantime trains will
run to the breaks and manage to carry mails
and passengers through.
