-'E'Eh cio" uAti you get oul VI tile
woods" is advice which, if literally constrn-
ed, could only have reference to male bipeds
of the gallinaceous species; but metaphoric-
ally considered, and when the idea meant to
be conveyed is separated from its complex
subject and viewed abstractly, the precept
contained in tfe sentence quoted above can
safely be followed by the descendants of
Adam. "Never crow until you get out Of
the woods" Plain, simple, homely language
yet how sound the doctrine. We do rot
know the exact chapter and verse in the
bible where this maxim can be found, or
whether it S considered strictly orthodox or
not; but it is certainly rule which if OBJ
served would prevent great many bitter
disappointments and sickening reflections
Especially is 1t applicable in love, war and
politics. For instance: Don't allow your
self to be transported to the seventh heaven
of exstatic bliss and imagine you have laid
your rival out simply because Melinda Jane
took your arm in preference to that of Au-
gustus. Supposing she does give you kiss
and slight pressure of the hand when you
else may be the favored one next time. How
do you knows Can you tell which way the
wind will blow tomorrow: Make the most
of your opportunities, but keep mum. Go
slow. "Never crow until you get out of the
woods" Should you ever be so unfortunate
as to become engaged in muscular discus
sion. don't throw up your hat and hurrah
because you succeed in knocking your ad-
versary down. Maybe he will "scratch."
Don't waste your breath in vain boasting
until the victory is secure; you may need it.
Ify you whip your man. why, Crow but
be modest about it. "Let those laugh who
win "Never crow until you get out of the
woods" Should you ever happen to be a
candidate before the people for any official
position, do Your prettiest to win, up to the
day of election, and then patiently await the
result. Don't be too anxious; there is plen-
ty of time. "Rome was not built in day."
Don't invite your friends to partake of oyster
suppers, and champagne, and things of that
sort, until your election is a certainty. Nei-
ther is it wise to telegraph to your friends
abroad that you have been successful. and
in return receive their congratulations upon
the happy event, before the returns are all
in; and even if they are, there may have
been mistake in adding up the figures
Don't rejoice until you have got your cer-
tifcate in your pocket. A defeat, after you
have had a jubilee over your supposed cleo
ton, operates good deal like dose of ipe-
cac on a stomach full of oysters. Recollect
''there is many slip 'twixt the cup and the
lip" "Never crow until you get out of the
woods"

Too BAD.-The San Francisco Examiner
is getting jealous of the Union and Bulletin.
Speaking of the influence which those journ-
ais exerted in behalf of the Democratic ticket,
it discourses thus sagely:
Whilst there is undoubtedly much credit
due to the Independent Journals for their
course in the late canvass, yet the glorious
result is by no means attributable to them
aone. We unhesitatingly conccde them
great acumen in shutting afar off the breeze
that was coming over our State-the keen
discernment of the threatened revolution in
public sentiment and the smartness to shape
their course so as to be found on the side of
the strong and popular. But when the pre-
sumptuous Bulletin claims that it and the
Sacramento Unaon did it all, etc. The
Bulletin and the Union undoubtedly desired
the defeat of portion of the Radical ticket,
but they distinctly based their opposition on
moral and personal grounds, whilst they ad-
vocated the principles embodied in the plat
form upon which the candidates whose defeat
they labored for. stood. The Bulletin
particularly appealed to the people to elect
the Radical candidates for Congress and for
the Legislature, laying great stress upon the
importance OF securing the pending Con-
stitutional Amendment and of endorsing the
Congressional reconstruction policy. All
have gone down together, and in the very
face of the Bulletins desperate efforts to
WELD an influence to the contrary.
Now it is cruel for the Examiner to talk
in that manner about journals which did
more for the. success of the Democratic
party than it did itself. Does not the Union
say it has been indorsed by the people by the
election of Haight : of course it does

The Union says "there is no surplus OF
bralnage connected with the interior journ-
ais" Probably not. An overdose of brains
is disease with which but few people die
The editors of the Union are perfectly safe.
The man who wrote the article in Saturday
Union from which we take the above extract,
is an ass whose stupidity is only equaled by
his egotism, ignorance and impudence.

Hon. WILLIAM HIGBY.-For the gloom
and dependency which the unexpected de-
feat of the Union party in this State has
brought upon loyal men, the election of Mr..
Highly affords partial constitutional proof
that the cause is not entirely lost. He boldly
advocated the reconstruction measures of
Congress in his canvass of the District-the
most thorough one ever made--and his re-
election is an endorsement by the people of
that policy. Mr.. Highly has been reelected
twice, an honor never before conferred upon
any one in this State, and never was political
favor bestowed upon more meritorious and
deserving recipient. Proud of his record for
the last four years, judging by the past what
the future will be, reposing the utmost con-
fdenee in his honesty, integrity and ability.
the people of this District have again chosen
him as their representative in the halls of
Congress. We are glad that he has been
successful, because the election of his oppo-
nent would have been disgrace to Califor-
MA; because he has been true as steel to the
doctrines of the. party which elected him !;
and because the principles of humanity, lib
erty and justice demanded it.

SILVER LAKE, Aug. 2lst, 1867.
EDITOR CHRONICLE Since my last we
have had a varied and extensive stock of
amusements. Although the Camp Meeting
of which wrote did not come to time, our
supply of preachers has been large, and last
Sunday morning we had divine service in
the hall at this place. The services were
conducted under the Episcopalian form by
Rev. Mr.. Hill of Sacramento. His sermon
is said to have been a mastery production,
but did not attend, having debated in my
own mind the question propounded by
Professor Talbot in his stump speech (which
had you rather door go a fshings" and
decided in favor of the latter. Although the
fish did not suffer seriously. had the satis-
faction of getting lost in the woods. which
was almost as good as listening to E.ne
sermon. On Saturday evening last a num-
Der of ladies and gentlemen gave a parlor
entertainment, consisting of an Acting
Charade, interspe..sed between the scenes by
vocal music by splendid quartette. and in
Strnrnental by Church Bros. & Jones' splen-
did quadrille band. The various performers
acquitted themselves creditably, although
most of them were laboring under the timid-
ity which invariably attacks new performers.
The Charade, however, passed off extremely
we'll. Of the singing. deem myself incom-
petent to speak in high enough terms. But
l will say that although l have had the
pleasure of listening to several of the finest
singers on this coast, have never heard
voice the equal in c.earness, purity or sweet
ness of that of Mrs. Dudley, of Sutter Creek,
the lady who sustained the leading part. For
the excellence of the instrumental portion of
the entertainment, the names of Church s.
Jones sufficient guarantee. On Tues
given by Mr.. Mayo, the proprietor of the
hotel, came off. 1t was largely attended,
end was very pleasant affair. About y
O'Clock the company proceeded to the hotel
and partook of a fine warm supper, the best
to which ever sat down, after which they
again adjourned to the hall, when dancing
was continued until an early hour, when all
retired well pleased with the evenings en-
joyment. Quite a number of ladies and
gentlemen leave tomorrow for their homes,
| leaving void which cannot well be filled
by new corners. The only person of con-
sequence remaining is NOBODY.

firm in Nashville, one of the largest and
most respectable mercantile houses in the
West, paying annually many thousand dol
lars Of taxes, has including clerks, six per-
SONS employed in the concern besides the
porter, who is negro. The latter is now
the only one of the whole concern who IS
allowed vote under. the present Brown
low Constitution. The point Of the joke
is, that the negro was the bittercst rebel
of all and was an officers servant in the
rebel army and when fighting by his mas
tcr's sidc lie was third man over the ram
parts of Fort Pillow where he fell lake an

1t is full of touching tenderness:
cit is dark when the honest and honora-
bic man secs the results of years swept
cruelty away by the knavish, heartless
adversary. 1t is dark when he feels the
clouds of sorrow gather round and knows
that the hopes and happiness in others arc
fading with his own. But in that hour
the memory of past integrity will be a
true consolation, and assure him even here
on earth CLEANS of light in Heaven
It is dark 'Shcn the dear voice Of that
sweet child once fondly loved is no more
heard around in murmcrs. Dark when
the pattering feet no more rcsound with
out the threshold, or ascend step by step

childish voice now hleshcd in death!-
Darkness; but only the gloom which now
