A bit of straw adorned with feather,

These tribes shaken al, together
Thus We're You made.
No cape will starchy netting lined,
No buck ram crown projects behind;
Where flows, in siiken mesh confined,
say waterfall.
Yet most your dainty form pIize,
As sweeping back above mine yes

Where underneath III ambush lies,
Ny pair OF mice
But when rough autumn winds sweep,
Aud all our iaces shake aghast,
Then can ou shield me from the blast
And round my neck Il shelter cast

Alas, n summer friend are you,
And only kind when skies are blue;

When trouble comes.

For soon AS winter Whistles di cad

On Tuesday evening next, George C.

Hon. w. NJ. Stewart. U. S. Senator from
Nevada, and other eminent speakers will ad-
dress the citizens of Calaveras, at Mokelumne

that occasion. Everybody, Union men,
Democrats and National Republicans are
requested to come and hear Mr.. Gorham
clear himself from every imputation cast
upon him by his cowardly traducers. Union
men, less than a month intervenes between
this and election. Work remains to be
done. Arouse yourselves! and let us give

COLONEL JONES, who was nominated by
the Resurrectionists for Controller, has taken
the stump for the Regular Union ticket. He
spoke at Placerville on Wednesday last. Of
the four candidates put forth by the "revi-
sors," but one remains-Jeferis, nominee for
State Printer. Hon. John Bidwell, Hon. J..
e. McCallum and Colonel Jones, never ac-
cepted their nominations, and now positively
decline them. By their patriotic action the
Union party has become firmly united, and
will sweep the State like a whirlwind this
Fall. The only hope of success the Copper
heads had was that there would be diyis
ion in the Union ranks; they are well aware
that the Union party. united. is invincible.
Shoulder to shoulder, keeping step to the
music of liberty and equality. the orsaniza-
ton to which We owe the preservation of our
nationality. will so overwhelmingly defeat
the enemies of free Government, that thew

Coon NoMINATIoN.-The State Central
Committee have properly and wisely NOM
mated E. 6. Waite, Esq, says the Flag, to
the vacancy occasioned by the death of Mr.
Farquhar. for Clerk of the Supreme Court.
We have understood that this action has
been taken at the unanimous request of the
Union men of Nevada county, and the de-
cision of the committee indicates a delicate
perception of propriety. The tragic death of
Mr.. Farquhar was Nevada's misfortune, and
that county was entitled to the subsequent
nomination. Mr.. Waite is an old, inhuen-
tial and valuable citizen, popular, capable
and deserving and we are glad to know
that his nomination has been unanimously
consented to. We are informed that the
Central Committee were very much govern
ed by the request of the friends of the de-
ceased candidate, and were not perplexed by
the importantly of any others.

not part, not portion. No: dismembered.

no unity-and yet one.
peace living peace Not the peace
of despotism. where every thing is stagnant
and blighted under iron rule not the
peace of despair, where foes lie side by side
with all their animosities hushed as in death !;
not the peace of indifference and of moral
torpor but living peace-the peace which
springs from moral conflict and renovation :;
the peace of obedience to wholesome laws :;
the peace which comes from equal rights and
true freedom; the peace which righteousness
kisses, whereby a nation is exalted the
peace which blesses people who shall make
wisdom and knowledge the stability of its
times and the fear of the Lord its treasure.

In answer to letter Of inquiry addressed
to him by G. N. Swezy, Esq, of Marysville,
as to whether he had or intended to accept
the nomination for Governor at the hands of
the National Republicans. General Bidwell
replied, positively declining to be candi-
date, and urging upon his friends the neces-
ity of supporting the entire regular Union
ticket. Mr.. Bidwell was chosen Chairman
of Union meeting at Chico, recently, and
made speech counseling unanlmity and
harmony of action. BY pursuing an honor
able and upright course, and refusing to aid
few disaffected politicians in their efforts to
disrupt the party, Mr.. Bidwell has evinced a
disinterested solicitude for the success of its
principles, which has gained for him the re-
spect and esteem of every true Union man.

UNION MEN, again we impress upon you
the necessity of voting the straight County
ticket. We cannot afford to lose vote this
Fall. The contest will be a close one, and
the Democrats hope by trading. to elect their
candidates for Sheriff and Clerk. They are
willing to swop the balance of their ticket to
obtain one vote for Thorn aud Briggs. Un-
ion men, we have a majority in the county
and if no swops are made, or names scratch
ed, our whole ticket will be elected. Do not
let personal preference swerye you from the
path of duty. Disregard all propositions
and promises made to you by Democrats in
regard to an exchange of votes; you cannot
afford to swop, and if you do you will cer-
tainly get cheated. Sheriff and Clerk are the
two most important offices in the county,
and we tell you that if Democrats are placed
in those positions at the coming election, it
will sign the death warrant of the Union
party in this county. Union men, stand by
