Democrats, Read!

Hear the language of General Longstreet, one
of the bravest rebels in the late war. We quote
from a recent letter written by him in New Or
leans:
81 shall be happy to work In any harness that
promises relief 10 our distressed people and har-
mony to the nation. II matters not whether
bear the mantle Of Mr. Davis or The mantle of Mr..
Sumner, SO that may help TO bring the glory OF
peace and good will toward men,
81 shall set out by assuming proposition
that hold TO be sef-evident, viz The highest
of human laws is the law that is established by
appeal to arms.
:. The great principles that divided political
parties prior to the war were thoroughly discuss
ed by our wisest statesmen. When argument
was exhausted resort was had 10 compromise.
When compromise was unavailing, discussion
was renewed, and expedients were sought, but
none could be found to suit the emergency. APP
peal was finally made 10 the sword to determine
which of the claims was the true construction of
constitutional law. The sword has decided in
favor of the North. and what they claimed as
prncipes cease to be principles, and are become
law The views that We hold cease 10 be prn-
cip!es because they are opposed to law. 1t is
therefore our duty to abandon ideas that are ob-
soleie and conform to the requirements of law.
The military bill. and amendments are peace
offerings. We should accept them as snch, and
place ourselves upon them rs the starting point
from which 10 meet future political issues as
they arise.
Like other Southern men, I naturally sought
alliance with the Democratic party, merely be-
cause it was opposed to the Republican party.
But. as far us can judge, there is nothing tang
ible about it, except the issue. that were Staked
upon the war and there lost. Finding nothing
to take hold of except prejudice, which cannot
be worked into good Cor any one, it is proper
and right that should seek some standpoint
from which good may be done"
The General advises the acceptance of the
Reconstruction Acts of Congress as peace Of
ferings." But California Democracy resolves
against these measures.

DEATH OF r. II. FARQunAR.-The sad news of
the death Of R. II. Farquhar, which will be
found in our telegraphic columns, will strike a
solemn chord in all hearts and wake regrets
through the State. He n gentleman highly
esteemed in private life, active and faithful in
business, public spirited and patriotic as citi-
zen. He was the nominee of the Union party
for Clerk of the Supreme Court. He gave
strength to the ticket, and his death will leave Il
blank over which will fall the tears of his COLA
borers in the Union cause. When the mind is
turned from the public loss to the young wife
now berctt of her husband, and the two sweet
children now fatherless, the heart swclis with
impressible sorrow. How appropriate was the
custom of the ancients, who sat down in sack
cloth and ashes, in silence, under afcion |!
Thus in awe before God who alone is great,
there may now we'll be slence.-San francisco

THE SHIp OF DEATm.-Since the time when the
ancient mariner told the terrible tale OF the curse
laden ship with her crew of ghastly corpses, no
more truthful story of the sea has been related
than that Of the whaleship Diana, that recently
drifted into one cf the Shetland Islands.
A year ago she left the Shetlands, on n whal-
ing voyage 10 the Arctic regions, baving on
board fifty men. From that time nothing more
WAS heard of her. The friends OF those on
board became alarmed. Money was raised and
premiums offered 10 the first vessel that would
bring tidings of the missing ship, but all to no
avail.
On the I'd of April the people near Rona's Voc,
in one of the Shetland Isles, were startled at
seeing CHASTITY wreck of a ship sailing into the
hail bor Battered and ice-crushed, sails and
cordage cut away, boats and spars cut up for
fuel in the dreadful Arctic winter, her decks
covered with dead and dying, the long-lost Di-
ana sailed in like a ship from the Deadman's
Land. Fifty men sailed out of Lerwick in her
on bright May morning last year. All of the
fifty came back on her on the I'd of April this
year the same. yet how different
Ten men, of whom the Captain one, lay
stifened corpses the deck thirty-fve lay
helplessly sick, some dying two retained suf-
icient of strength to creep aloft and the other
three crawed teebly about the deck. The ship
was boarded by the Islanders, and ms they crawl
ed over the bulwarks, the man at the wheel fell
fanting from excitement; one of the sick died
as he lay. his death being announced by the fel-
low occupant of his berth feehly moaning ::
{. Take away this dead man." On the bridge Of
the vessel lay the body of the Captain, as it had
lain for four months. with nine of his dead ship
mates by his side, all decently laid out by those
who soon expected to share their fate.
The survivors could not bear to sink the bodies
of their comrades in the sea, but kept them so
that when the last man died the fated ship that
had been their common home should be their
common tomb. The surgeon of the ship had
worked faithfully to the last, but cold, hunger,
scurvy and dysenery were too much for him.
The brave old Captain the first victim, and
died blessing his men. Then the others fell: one
by one, until the ship was tenanted only by the
dead and dying. One night more at sea- would
have left the Diana floating colin. Not one OF
the fifty would have lived to tell the ghastly tale.

to ride into power between the rival tickets.
They confidently expect 10 send old Gwin again

Showaiter, and the hundred other treason-dye
pap-suckers to live on the public purse and WAX
strong in new Virginia poor-houses. Let us not
deceive ourselves as TO the situation, but pre-
pare TO meet the enemy rs becomes patriots and
freedom-oving, despot-hating citizens, with n
unity in our ranks, that will strike terror into
those of our foes.
There is much depending the coming cleo
ton. 1t is not alone the question whether Cor
ham or IIaght shall be Governor, but there are
other issues more important and material both
10 the party and TO the country. Presidential
election takes place next year, and if we are de-
feated in September, 1867, we shall be defeated
in November, 1868. California, which has al
ways stood firm for the loyal cause. must not
now be betrayed into the hands of the Copper
heads, and turn her proud laures into Confed-
crate cypress by an act of political folly. If we
lose this election the Union party will be num-
bered among the thing that were, and all the
regrets in the world will not be able 10 resusci-
tate or resurrtct it.

THE NEW ULM TRAeEDY.-The st Paul
Press gives the following account, by cor
respondent, of the horrible affair at New
Ulm, Minnesota, the details being somewhat
different from those furnished by telegraph:
1.-TWO young men, Liscomb and Campbell
citizens of Mankato, who have been engaged
in trapping on the Upper Minnesota and
Cottonwood, came down to New Ulm on
Christmas Day. They spent the evening in
a saloon in that place, and in the course of
the night the company, which was quite nu-
merous, became highly excited, and were
having what they called an Indian pow WOW,
when quarrel arose about the pay for the
liquor. Several knives were drawn, and a
general melee was the result, in the course
of which New Ulm man was stabbed by
Campbell, or fell on the knife, it is not certain
ly known which, severing the main artery
of his leg, and bled to death in a few min
utes. His name l have not learned, but un.
derstand he was n Lieutenant in Captain
Horace Austin's Company, and was after
wards an auctioneer in New Ulm. Liscomb
and Campbell were Immediately arrested and
thrown into Jail, when an Infatuated moi
gathered, took them forcibly from the Jail
beat them, stoned them, put ropes round
their necks and dragged them through thu
town till they were nearly dead and then
hung them. The excitement in MankatI
this morning is tremendous. Liscomb ant
Campbell were well known as quiet peace
able citizens. The New Ulm people wer
saved from total destruction Ia 1869 by tn
prompt and noble assistance of MaDkato am
other towns, and we consider this is q yer
poor requital. They have refused 10 alloy
the bodies to be brought down here fc
burial, and large body of citizens starte
, up this morning December 27th) with tn
NJ hay a,6
and as they are all well armed, they wi
bring them back or mako few mol
funerals in New Ulm.
y II has already been announced that u
d party from Mankato who went to brir
D., down the bodies could not find them, OF
. got no explanation, but fppnd hole in Il
Ice and numerous 6lood-marks. Other inc
cations show plainly that the bodies we
