CARICATUREs.-The cynical but clever artist
who is doing the Union party SO much service
by Incorporating the Democratic logic of the
campaign, has recently set out a picture of
George c. Gorham, carrying negro, Chinaman
and Indian ON his shoulders, mounted each on
the other, and there is Democrat holding a
gorilla by the tail, and asking if "he isn't man
and brother" We knew Gorham was little
giant, but had no idea our opponents thought he
could carry such big load as that Why, it is
as if they thought him the genius of America
which has exalted universal humanity. And
the artist has put into the mouths Of these rep
resentative races words of cheer: g Mr.. Golam
wely good man." 1t is the prophesy of the
high priest, intended for lie, but which turns
out truth Gods eye and the devils read
things very differently. There is another figure
that we cannot make out. A stern old fellow
has his hands on a balot-box, and says this is
ga white mans Government" Yes: Tennes-
see, for instance But who is that old fellow :?
He looks like " Chiv.,' but he should have
cat o. nine tails, and be experimenting slave
auction or he should have a bowe-knifc and
revolver at his side. 1t is not California; that
would be female figure. Who governs the
ballot but the voter? Who stands over the bal.
lot-box, saying a shall not vote? Who is
it? Is it Haght? Does Mr.. Haight say that
man, being citizen Of the United States shall
not vote? Who has asked that any others shall :?

In travelling from the COW counties" to the

strike the eye of the close observer which are not
only new but novel in the extreme, that one is
lost in amazement and wonder to imagine how
an unseen and incomprehensible agency man.
aged to throw this terra frma together in such
variety of shapes. Everything moves slow,
seemingly, in those well-settled, homespun To-
calities, and as you approach the rugged noun
tains and canyons things begin to move faster,
| ioned, slow-coach jog to the lightning speed OF
the railroad. mile in the mines is much
shorter /; dollar is much smaller, and mans
limbs, life and other personal property are held
at much less cash valuation. One soon learns
to partake of the reckless disposition of his sur
roundings, and as he descends the highest noun
tain peak be grabs the tail of his mule and
swinging it over his shoulder to hold on by, gets
brave. This particular locality is not, or least
seems not, to be either worked out or played
out. All who are engaged in mining hereabouts
are making good wages Several fumes are be-
ing put in the river, and although it keeps up
unusually late for the season, lively times are
anticipated hereabouts this fall. A. Martin, the
! enterprising merchant of this place, in company
with others, dares to risk several thousand dol
lars in fuming operations just below this place.
In fact there can be no doubt but that every foot
Of the stream that has not been worked will pay
reasonably well, if not hugely. Politics
raging, with the chances little in favor of the
Union party. Candidates visit us occasionally,
and all are sanguine of success. Barnum, the
Union candidate for Assessor and Collector of
this District, will, from appearances, be elected
easily. He is popular, competent and honest.
Faith inspires us with the hope that the entire
Union ticket - State and county-will be tri-
umphantly elected. A Chinaman just from New
River reports that the Indians made raid upon
that camp two days since. The particulars
