New Party.

The National Union Committee lately held
meeting in Washington City, and issued a
call for the formation of new Union organ
ization in the South. to be composed of the
loyal men of that section, without regard to
race or color One Of the objects of the call
Is to secure permanent and thorough
organization of all the loyal voters of the
South, preparatory to the coming Presiden-
tial contest
By way of aiding the important and laud'
able work, systematic and thorough canvass
of the South will be made by able and efi-
cient speakers of both white and black
races, and printed documents will be dis
tributed among the people, setting forth the
principles, policy and aims of the Union
Republican party.
The Importance of this movement cannot
be over estimated. That it will result sue
cessfully we can scarcely doubt. With a
loyal party predominating in the South, and
acting in harmony with the Union masses of
the North and West, the future peace and
safety of the country would be ensured, and
the last embers of treason would expire with
the present generation of secessionists. Under
the policy of this new party the Southern
States will awaken to new life Free schools
will be established in every village and
hamlet, and progressive newspapers will be
published in all the principal towns and
cities, which will give circulation to the right
kind of political information. The old aris-
tocratic system, founded on slavery, will give
way before the spirit of progress and the
advancing genius of free labor, and every
man, be he white or black, can build unto
himself home, and none will dare modest or
make him afraid The vast agricultural and
mineral resources of these States will be
gradually developed, and the land lately
desolated by the hand of treason will soon
bloom like Eden of yore. Through the in
strumentality of this new Union Republican
organization we expect to see the Southern
States completely restored to the Union, after
which the Republic will enter upon a second
career of prosperity, and ere long the Nation
will stand forth peerless in wealth and
power, the acknowledged champion of Free
dom and Progress throughout the world.

SHASTA COURIER.
SATURDAY MORNING, MAY 25, 1867.

STATE PRINrER.-A. S. Smith, of the
Marysville Appeal, has entered the lists as
an aspirant fer the position of State Printer.
If faithful adherence to principle, and con-
slant advocacy of right and justice are enti-
tied to reward, Smith deserves to succeed
No man in the State has welded more
effective pen in defense of the Union organi-
zation. His patriotic appeals have served to
keep alive the spirit of loyalty to the Gov.
ernment in the hearts of hundreds of our
people. We feel satisfied that Smith
claims will not be sighted in the approach
ing State Convention.

THE PASSION FLowER.-The annexed in
depreciation of this justly celebrated and
much admired flower will be found interest
ing:
The leaves resemble the spear that pierced
our Saviour's side; the tendrils-the cords
that bound his hands, or the whips that
scourged him the ten petals-the Apostles,
Judas having betrayed, and Peter deserted ;
the pillar in the centre-the cross or tree ;
the stamna-the hammer the style-the
nails the inner circles around the centre
pillar-the crown of thorns; the radiance
the glory; the white in the fower-the
emblem of purity; and the blue-the type OF
heaven. On one species, the pasiffora altar,
even drops of blood are seen upon the cross
or tree. This flower continues three days
open, and then disappears, thus denoting the
resurrection.
The Shasta courier., 1867-05-25

FINE MnL.-The new portable steam saw
mill which G. F. Ellsworth lately imported
from the East, is said to be the finest and
most perfect piece of machinery ever brought
to this country. The whole concern can be
taken apart or put up ready for work in one
day, and can be transported from place to
place on two ordinary twohorse wagons
The saw can easily cut thousand feet of lum-
Der per hour and in good timber can do
more. Ellsworth intends removing the mill
temporarily to Douglas City, in Trinity
county.

RED WARRIoR-The workmen on the
Original Red Warrior claim, at South Fork,
have reached depth of twenty three feet.
and are taking out some of the finest looking
rock we have yet seen from the district. 1t
contains both gold and silver, and good judg-
es estimate that it will assay four hundred
wide, well defined, and growing wider as the
shaft descends. Stockholders in the Red
Warrior are jubilant over their fine pros
poets.

d. We'll & BRo.-Attention is directed to
the advertisement of D.. We'll & Bro, in this
issue. This large establishment is filled to
repletion with a splendid and complete assort-
ment of dry goods, clothing, etc., with new
goods constantly arriving. The proprietors
are we'll known to the people of the county as
experienced and reliable business men, and
as such are entitled to the confidence and
patronage of the public. Call and examine
their stock.

Coon MINEs.--A resident of Mad Mule
informs us that the mines on that stream and
Mad Ok Creek have yielded large amount
of gold during the winter and spring. Sew
eral claims have averaged from eight to ten
dollars per day to the hand, and a number of
specimens have been taken out which weigh
ed from twelve dollars to one and two
ounces. The old ground or tailings on these
streams pay three or four dollars per day.

DoN'T SEE Ir.-While the Copperhead
papers of this State are rejoicing over the
Democratic victory in Connecticut, and de-
claring the result a harbinger of future sue
cess, the Southern journals are displeased
and gloomy over the prospect. The Southern
editors declare that the Copperhead triumph
will result in fresh Radical crusade that
will crush reviving Democracy out of exist
ence, and impose greater restrictions on the
South. We think the conclusions of the ex-
Confederates correct. Forewarned and fore
armed, the loyal masses will again fall into
line and wipe out the last vestige of dirt.

spirit of treason in the South.

A RADICAL CHANGE.-Owing to the dan
ger attending the present style of female
riding, says the Marysville Appeal, we un-
derstand that number of the ladies of Ma
rysville have resolved to defy fashion and
usage and to consult their own safety and
pleasure by adopting radical change. They
propose to throw away the cumbersome and
horse-scaring founce and adopt the Turkish
style of habit, use the male saddle and mount
their steeds the same as " other folks" And
why not? Physicians recommend inyalids
to take exercise on horseback. But this
remedy, under the prevailing custom of rid
ing on side saddles. is quite as much to be
feared as the disease, and many of the ladies
think they may as we'll die of consumption
as broken backs or crushed brains. The
ladies have been taking this matter under
serious consideration of late, and have bravely
resolved to defy old fogyism and ride as sense
or comfort dictates. We understand party
composed of five or six of our most respecta-
BILE citizens are preparing their Turkish
dresses and will be ready to take the air on
horseback the latter part of this week. We
notice this style of riding is being introduced
among the English ladies, and the mothers
of Yankee boys should not be excelled by
the matrons of old fogy England.

FIGHr-MAN SHoT.-A bit of rough and
tumble " discussion occurred at Churntown
on Monday, between L. Bickford and N. W.
Magee. After the fight Bickford started
across the street, when Magee drew re.
volver and fired at him. The ball missed
Bickford, but struck VIM, Eaton, a bystander,
in the shoulder, inficting a flesh wound.

POLLARD D-H. Rives Pollard was lately
arrested at Richmond and compelled to give

DONNIE SAMSON Pro DIGIoUs l"-This
is the way in which the Flag goes after its
"big brothers" at the Bay:
Mention was made, recently, of the Times
disposition to flatten out under the Directory s
enormous smoothing-iron. To our great as
tonishment and delight, it Strengthened up
yesterday morning, asserted its utter indie
pendence, and began to jubilate and cavort
round, like Dominic Samson. After the
County Committee and the Flag had won the
battle in comes the Times, with its redoubt
able war r-cub, and begins to maui the corpses!
1t is also decidedly in favor of the Eight hour
reform.
In this relation, a citizen, with a good
perception of the ludicrous and large organs
of comparison, says that the Flag and Times,
respectively, remind him of sturdy little
fellow fetching his big, gawky brother in out
of the rain. Putting and blowing, with eyes
sparkling and cheeks red as peonies, the little
one says: I" Here, nam here's Bill but

ANOTHER MUss.-The Sacramentans have
managed to kick up another grand muss
about local election matters. The Union

DIVIDING THE WoRLD.-The Pail Mall
Gazette, April 4th, in an article on Russian
America, says; 1t would be too much to say
that these Powers America and Russa)
intend to divide the world between them by
and by, but there does undoubtedly exist an
idea-a belief not yet so sure as to be per-
mitted to speak out-that this is their desti-
ny; and what is more, there is in both a
constant, far reaching, determined effort to
that end" The Gazette then goes on and
divides this great work, giving Russia the
control of the East, and America sovereignty
of the West. This picture is in wonderful
contrast with that presented in 1861, when
the United States were to fall to pieces by
civil war.

AccIDENT.-Last week E. f. Crocker,
while engaged in saving lumber in his mill
on Brandy Creek, accidentally allowed his
arm to touch running belt, which caught
his shirt sleeve and drew the limb in contact
with a revolving shaft. The machinery was
stopped as quickly as possible, but not until
the arm had received very severe bruising.
