mail matter going from Auburn to post Off
ces in the southern portion Of the county,
goes first to Sacramento civ. and then re.
turns. And within the last ten days, as if
in pursuance Of custom that is To be sys'
tematized, the tri'weekly mail route between
Auburn and Marysvile, via Ophir, Virginia
and Lincoln, has been abolished, and along
with it the post offices of Ophir, and Vr'
gnia, and now all of our mail matter for the
western portion of the county, goes first to
Sacramento, (S5 miles distanD before it can
get to Lincoln, ony = fourteen miles west from
this place. by this arrangement all our
mail matter for Lincoln or Marysvile takes
two days in transmission, and takes wide
circuit, where before it went in few hours
by direct route.
BY this stupidity, fogyishuess or something
worse, the whole Of our mail matter, destin.

southern and western portions Of the county

Such miserable management is provoking
in the extrene-is exceedingly inconv enient

injurious to newspaper publishers, who are

A County MAP.-We notice that nearly
all the counties in the State are having maps
made. The Registry law now makes it all
most absolutely necessary that every county
have map. On this subject the SoIano
Press says:
This is a subject to which we referred
some time since, but still we have no map.
Maps Of various parts Of the county have
been procured by private parties interested;
but, then, even if they were open for public
use, are not adequate to the wants of our
citizens. A complete and reliable map of
the county is wanted to aid the Assessor in
making proper assessment Of the county;
to inform the Board of Supervisors of the
courses and distances OF all existing and pro.
posed roads; TO inform the landh olders Of
their locations and their relation to their re-
spective neighbors; to enlighten citizens gen.
orally concerning their county, and for the
information Of parties coming here from
abroad, and for various other purposes. We

A Marrving Bureau,

Various efforts have been made by the
Freedsmen Bureau, says the N. Y. News, to
reform the views and practice of the negroes
in regard to the marriage tie, and to impress
upon them a just idea of the sanctity of its
obligations; with what success we are not
advised. There is some reason for believing
that the negroes, like most ba,barians, had a
very loose creed on the bject, and that the
marriage relation sat as lightly on them as
on Pennsylvania peasant or a fast Buckeye
or Hoosier.
This dep!orsbe condition Of things neces'
sarily aroused the warmest sympathes OF the
humaniarans, and no sooner bad the Fed,
eral troops occupied the South, than the de-
partment commanders began issuing procla
nations requiring the negroes to rally round
the domestic altar. We had doubts at the
time whether these proclanations would not
prove as frulIess as Peter the Yesty's, and
we incline to think they did; for the Bureau
seems TO have adopted the plan OF bringing
the parties into Court and marrying them
nolens uolens. The latest recorded exploit of
the Bureau, in this line, was the marriage Of
two hundred and forty seven couples at Ar.
lington. The Victims adorned for the sacri
flee with all the grotesque finery so dear to
the African beart, were drawn up in platoons,
and when all was ready, a battery of persons
detailed for the purpose, opened fire upon
them. A few rounds sufficed to use up the
party, some fifteen or twenty couples being
knocked over every shot. The whole affair
went off with great eclat, and rejecting the
highest credit upon the Bureau and its very
efficien. and gentleman'v, ETC., etc.
The CHANeg.-It is a pleasure to Us to
look back over the short space Of four years
and compare the result of the late election
With that of 1862. At that time the De.
mocracy elected but one member to the Leg.
islature four late candidate for Congress), by
three majority; but one Democyatc county
ticket was elected and that by very small
vote. AT the election two years later, we
carried two counties. Jackson and Josephine.
At this election we bave the qualification Of
carrying one half the counties in the State
by handsome majorities We elect our en-.
tire county tickets in Jackson, Lane, Linn,
Columbia, Wasco, Union, Grant, Baker and
Umatlla, and a majority in Polk and Jose.
phine. We also elect one Circuit Judge,
two Prosecuting Attorneys, and have re,
duced the Abolition vote from two thirds
majority out Of 10000 votes, to less than
$50 in the State. The State now polls about
O,OOO votes, of which the Democracy re.
ceves near lO,00O-more than the entire
vote of the State in 1862. This fact should
cheer up the Democracy in our State and
cause them to renew the march for another
campaign. "Trulh crushed to earth will rise
again." and as sure as there is heaven, the
principles of Democracy will be triumphant
throughout the whole Union before two
years pass over our heads. There is nothing
to discourage US in this hope, while every
thing goes TO give us stronger assurances
that we are right, and right and justice must
prevail in the end.

Come, nii the cup anu leC us pour

And nearer lies the land to which we go.

The oaks broad leaf, the roses loom,
Together fall, together lie, y y p

Gold, beauty, hniShtly sword and royal crown,
