A NArIoN's DEArn-It is a fearful thing
to behold any being, endowed with intellect
however weak, with sensibiilies however
feeble, fall victim TO the hand of him who
spares not-relents not, at the cry of high or
low. 1t is uncomfortable more awful to be-
hold nation in its decline and fall, which
has arisen from a handful of needy coonisls
gradually increasing in territory and pop
ulalon-adding strength to trength-power
to power-going forth conquering and to
conquer. But when that people is the chos
en- of the Lord; when that land is the fairest
that is lit up by the sun of Heaven; when her
commerce whitens every sea, and her flag is
known and respected among those that 60
down to the sea in ships; when it is a land
where enIightment has attained to its golden
prime, and where all religious creeds are rec,
oguized aud protected, the sight may well
cause angels to weep, and men to bow in hu-
mility, and acknowledge the vanity of earthly
grandeur aud glory.-D. ". VOORHEES,.

A Spicy Correspondence.

We give the following correspondence to
our readers this week, as the current events
of the times. The only sober Senator shows
his bullying nature very plainly:
The Placer herald., 1867-03-09

How unwise the selection, how false you
proved, and how unworthy their favor has
found universal acceptation.
1t is small matter who shall be Assessor,
but no man can expect to enter the political
heaven who is unclean. The example, if it
were possible, would be bad and we cannot
afford it,
The President tells me that it was your
brother (who lives in Pennsylvania who ad-
vised your appointment. Because be lives
in Pennsylvania, and because he believed
the war for the Reptile failure, in my
judgment renders him incompetent TO ad.
wise an appointment. 30
You say you are "true friend" Of the
President. He has reason to wish 10 be
saved from bis friends if this be so. No man
can be "true friend" of the President who
has not been true to others, and who is not
true to all and who has not been true to his
country. Truth has no special season, but
has all seasons for her own; it cannot be
spiced with fasehood. In a vulgar accep
tation, it is easy TO be true to a President,
and in this respect you may be true to him.
1t is scarcely possible, as you seem to
think, that the gentlemen to whom you re.
fer feared the power of an Assessor, as in
the way Of their aspirations. This msap
prehension doubtless arises in your mind
from want of knowledge ofyour own po.
siion, and of theirs in California. scarce
y think they would regard you as at all po'
tent, even with an Assessors commission.
Your difficulty, apprehend, is the old
one-a want OF capacity to appreciate the
Importance of great political issues and a
proneness to sink their consequences in the
ob'ainment Of Office, and consequent want
Of the confidence Of your fellow citizens.
Respectfully, ETC.,

Buckfield Village is quite an enterprising
place. The houses are generally one story,
with handsome front yards. The prevailing
color of the paint is white, and the dwellings
and outbuildings always look as if they were
just painted and set out to dry, as Dickens
once said of the buildings of our country
There are eight stores in the village in full
operation, where all kinds of goods are sold;
two establishments where the little foolish
things called bonnets are made; three black
smith and three saddlers' or harness makers
shops; one maker of grave stones; sawmill,
shovel handle factory, shinele factory,
carding machine, q tannery, two meeting
houses, one Baptist, in which there is stated
preaching by Rev. Mr.. Carleton, one Union
or Universalist, which stands empty, ana one
pristmill. in which Messrs. Atwood & Bridg-
ham manufacture the very best of -four from
white wheat grown in Canada West. This
-four stands high, and we'll it may, for it is skill
fully ground from the very best of Canada
white wheat. There are two lawyers and
three physicians in the place, SO that the legal
rights and the physical ailments can be well
cared for. There is one public house, kept by
Mr.. Ambrose Buck. This house, We UNDER
stand, has been recently sold to Mr.. Young, of
Auburn, for three thousand five hundred dol
lars. 1t will soon be opened under his admin
istration. We believe he is a brother of him
who keeps the Elm House in Auburn.
This village is quite q mart for horses ana
cattle. Many valuable horses have been pur-
chased and kept here through the WINTER ior

sent to the Bay State, and another VIII soon
follow. A drove of working cattle ironi our

WALTHAM, MASS. q"

THIS Company beg leave to inform the public
that they commenced operations in 1850, and their

cost more than million dollars, and employs over
700 operatives. They proauce 5000 Watches .

The difference between their manufacture and

HOW AMERICAN WATCHES ARE MADE.
The American waIiham Watch is made by no

Of the Watc ARE carried on under one r Of and
under one skillful and competent direction. But
the great distingu; shng feature of their Watches
is the fact that their several parts all madeby

one of the more than a hund ed parts of every
Watch is made by q machine-that infallibly re-
produces every succeeding Fart with the most un-

one perfect atch of any particular style and then
to adjust the hundred machines necessary 10 re-
produce every part of that w atch. and it follows
that every succeedir Watch must be like It. o f' 3

Curious History of a State

The Territory now known as Wisconsin
was claimed by France, on the ground Of
discovery by its missionaries and travellers
in 1870, who governed it until they ceded II
to Great Britain in 1763. 1t was held by the
British nation until 1888, when it was ceded
to the United States. 1t was then claimed
by Virginia, for one year, when she ceded
all her possessions, northeast of the Ohio,
to the United States. Wisconsin was then
thrown under the Territorial Government
of Ohio, by the ordinance of 1857. On the
4th of July, 1900. Indian Territory was
organized, and Wisconsin placed un-
der its Jurisdiction, where it re-
mained until 1909, when Illinois Territory
was organized, and 1t was attached to thai
Territory until April 1S, 1878, when Illi-
nois became State. 1t was then attached
to the Territory of Michigan, until ore an
lied as the Territory of Wisconsin, July
4th, 1886. So that Wisconsin was governed
by the King of France SO years; by the
King of Great Britain 20 years; by the
