RED WARRIOR EXTENSION. N.-Quite a number of
men residing outside of the county have become
interested in the mines of South Fork district,
and the indications are that there will be lively
times in that locality in the spring. E. A. kel-
ton, of the firm of Kelton Il Kellogg, Douglas
City, visited the district this week, with q view
to commencing work on the second extension of
the Red Warrior, which is principally owned by
parties residing in Trinity county. Kelton says
he is willing to advance the money necessary to
thoroughly prospect this claim, and the rest
of the owners are men of means, it is likely the
work will be commenced at once, and energeti-
cally prosecuted.-Shdsta Courier, l2M.

special Congressional election F. F. Low. governor.
TRUE EYoUGH-The North Californian thinks
the manifesto of United States Senators, headed
by Wade and Sumner, and of representatives,
headed by Stevens and ColfaY, and addressed to
Senator Nye, of Nevada a sublime piece of i'm
pudence. We coincide in the opinion. TIE doe
ument is in the following language :-' If nee
essary to secure your reelection, remain in Ne
yada. The country can temporarily dispense
with your services in the Senate better than en-
danger your election The California delega-
ton evidently considered such dictation improp-

BY the National Publishing Company. The author,
HENRY CLEVELAND, Esq, has enjoyed the greatest
faciltes in compiling the letters and speeches of
this great statesman, and has prcfaced them with
a,interesting narrative of incidents in the public
and private life of Georgia's favorite son.. If we
wers dispossd.to csrl at the arrangement of these
details, perhaps abundant opportunities might

look thefauthor's defective arrangement, because
of ftheinyaluable service rendered in giving to the
public, in proper form, the forensic; efforts and
epis.olnry correspondence Of Mr.. STEPHENS. With
out doubt. this 'youmeis invaluable to The student
ofpoliticar history on this continents and contains
sufficient general variety to become even popular

statesman and patriot, the upright man and pure
christian is destined to be familiar as ''household

AnorHER Ep1roR Ar A FANCY BAIL.

The reader will no doubt recollcct an amusing
description given by the editor of the rVioksburg
Times, and published in our columns several weeks
aco, relating his experience at masked ball in
{ 1t city. Well, member Of the @pfess gam"
Aearer home has been indulging i'll like amuse-
ments, but the effect is somewhat diffsrent-thc
present victim to the fascinating mnzcsof the ball
room, with his native delicacy and refinement,
touches tenderly upon The enchanting scene, and
glds the spectacle with gorgeous imagery and rap
turous admiration. We pity him. from the depths
of our nmost heart, do we sympathise with the
knight of the quill whose visions are disturbed by
beauty, ringc:s, radiant cheeks, heavenly Smiles
laughing dimplcs, beaming eyes, emotional bo-
SONS, and moral graccs But who is the unfortu-
nate Why, our especial friend of the Edgeheid
Advertiser! We cannot reproduce his entire de-
scription of the recent ball at the Planters Hotel,
the famed resting place in Augusta and shall only
rive n brief extract to illustrate the foregoing.
After delineating the characters and costumes OF
many, the gifted BACON betrays himself in the fol-
lowing rhapsodical epilogue lie is certainly lost
beyond recovery;
..And here we must close; and that. too, with.
out making beginning. Other costumes. were as
beautiful and other ladies as fair, and other gen.
tlemen as gallant, as my we have mentioned;- but
we knew them not And even if we did, tine.pnd
space and paper fail u.s.. And then it isSo iimpes-
sible to choose between these 'roses OF Sharon"
and these "lilies Of the valley" For here are q
hundred fair ladies' in whose persons stands the
perfection of the beauty of form. Beauty moves
in all their steps, IL is eloquent in all their ac-

ces of their stainless lives" Il

HOW TO EDIT A NEWSPAPER.

In the course of q long. experience in the news
paper business, we have received many suggestions
as to the proper mode of conducting District
journal The advice thus rendered, being gratui-
tous, has cost us less than perhaps any single
commodity purchased. 1t has never been marked
'collect on delivery" nor has it dr6sH fhiferest
from date like numerous other obligations for ma
terial consumed. In word, we have received
this necessary evil with stolid Indifference taking
no memorandum of the quantity, while the quality
has been varied as the lights and shadows of this
earthly pilgrimage. The truth is, we have never
met man of ordinary intelligence that doubted his
ability to improve our paper. Some men are dubi-
about their capacity to drive four-horse wag-
on, others feel disposed to shrink from the respon-
sibility of running ditch through swampy land,
while many are 10th to acknowledge their ability
to cut wood But not one of these ever entertained
the faintest scruple in regard to their peculiar
fitness for the editorial chair. They are constantly
discovering gross defects in the management of the
newspaper, and nothing is more simple than the
effort required to render acceptable to the teeming
thousands the journal whose conduct is thus de-
prccated. One declares that the editor neglects
his business by failing to insert market reports
from the principal cities of the world, while an
other is indignant that the aforesaid editor should
cram his columns with statistics on commerce and
manufactures. Here is subscriber who docs not
appreciate the necessity for so little nonsense,
now and then" and there is another subscriber
who cannot imagine why his paper is filled with
dull, prosy articles upon the political condition of
in regard to the dongs of Congress, and his neigh
Dor is firmly convinced that Southern papers
should cschew all record of the proceedings of that
radical body. A subscriber enters the sancturn,
and threatens to discontinue his paper unless
lengthy articles are excluded hereafter and a
greater variety is presented; lie is scarcely gone
from the doorway, until another enters to protest
against the practice of itemizing the news of the
day-he wants to be fully informed ON all the great
questions affecting the public interest.
Such are a few of the annoyanccs Of, editorial
lifc The desire of one is the detsstatiSh of am
other, and it is simply impossible TO please all or
avoid giving offence. Frankly confessing that it
has never been our aim to attempt imtossbiities,
we wish to declare against the practice Of button
holng the editor, in order to distribute this i'm
pertinent adyce. We have never taken any pains
to remember the sum and substance of these friend
ly admouitions; and do not intend to follow them
hereafter. Therefore, take warning, ye self-infa-
ted people, and do not undertake to control our af-
fo;rc nor seek IN intermeddle with what clearly
does not concern your welfare.

Mp. rREscoT,s OPINION.

The annexed paragraph is going the rodnds OF
bo ress and We transfer it to these columns for the
purpose of placing the views and opinions attrib-
uted to our Representative before his constituents:
AS a.ceneral rule, we are disposed TO beheTe that
the statements made by Northern correspondents
and others are exaggerated, and perhaps the opin-
ions of Mr.. TnEscor are misrepresented in stating
his preference for impartial suffrage over the Con-
stitutional amendment. With this explanation, we
give the extracts
uThe Rev. DR.. Parker, of Boston, who is associa-
ted with Conway and other gentlemen in establish
inq institutes of learning for the leading MINDS
among che freedmen in the Souths has JUST re-
turned from South Carolina, where he met Mr.
Trescot, one of the leading politicians OF tnat
State. who said, in the course OF conversation
of considerable length, that lie was Opposed 10
the adoption of the Constitutional amendment
bv Sonth Carolina, because the South was asked
to adort o measure for her own INJURY as he
believed and furthermore, that he preferred
universal amnesty, coupled with impartial sunrase,
and that he believed every right thinking man IN
Che South felt the same as he did, out that Inc SUI
ect belonged entirely to the States represense.' III
the Union and not the States OF the Soutn, BECAUSE
the South had fought against the Union, de1ermln-
ed To DESTROY it if possible, and that her place was
mt to dicatc what should be done, nor participate
in rrantinr either universal amnesty or impartial
suffrage, but simply to comply with what should
be- done by the States through whom the ooutI
,vo. cononered and who are, to all intents and
nnrposes, the United States. He expressed him.
self greatly in favor of the education OF the freed
mon but thought the Southern and not the North
ern people should have charge of the schools.

The Impeachment.


special correspondent of the Atlanta Iattlli-
gencer writes from Washington;
The great question is, the impeachment of Presi7
dent Johnson. 1t is fully determined on. The
plans are all arranged. The effort is sure to be
made The President is fully apprised of all move
ments looking to his removal He is prepared for
any emergency. He is firm and unyielding
think the bill of impeachment will not be re-
ported until the last week in this month, and will
not be acted on before the first week in March
the new session of Congress- The President, in
case of impeachment, will neither permit himself
arrested nor will he vacate his Office. If force is
used against him, he will meet force with force
If there is any backing down to be done, it must
be by the radicals; it will not be by Andrew
Johnson.

.vALENrITEs DAY.

This morning the hearts Of maidens fair and
sentimental youths are throbbng quite naturally
III anticipation of themselves that are wont to find
their lodgnsnl in the receptacle prepared fof them
by our late Uncle Sam. The post Office generally
does fairbusness on this t,co4cens-itive question,
and numerous and varied are the offerings made
10 the patron saint. Love-sick youths vent their
anguish in miserable verse, while impatient misses
gently breathe their sighs in simplest rhyme. All
this is harmless enough and for the unsophistica-
ted there is sufficient recreation from the monot-
oaySs and Eedium Of everyday life. But prosy old
fellows, cannot see the point, and hence we extract
the following in relation to the origin Of TINS OBJ
seryanes of ST.. Valentines Day, the l4th Of Feb
ruary. contemporary says that il is day sacred
toSlt. Valentine, a holy priest of Rome, who, with
ST. Maurius, assisted in the persecution under.
GlaRdias H. Heswas' arrested by that Emperor
ind sent to ePrsfect of Rome, who, on finding
all his efforts TO make him renounce his faith in
cfectual, caused him to be beaten with clubs and
afterwards behended. The unfortunate shortening
of his stature, by ahead, occurred on the l4th,
ind hence the origin Of The festival Of ST. Valentine.
But what connection this holy priest ever had with
Iove.making, we have never been able satisfactorily
10 discover. There.are many conjectures, but the
most pioaable is TO be found in the ornthological
workings 81. nature, Aboutthis time, the ice king
begins TO give way to the bamy breathings of gem
tie spring, early vegetation commences, and the
birds, after q long semi-torpid holiday. begin to
mate and commence housekeeping for the season.

Saturday, 25th instant, is Return Day for this

Would produce such dreadful results. In our
opinion, the agitation of the debt question: has pro-
ducsd the majority of fdistrust now in the country
alpdtorthat cause may be attributed the most part
Of suing to the approaching term.

READ THE ADvERTIsEMENTs.

We have thonght ofurging this course upon our
readers, on several occasions recently, when in-
stances were brought to view of men losing an op-
porsunity or failing to secure benefit by not closely
scanning the advertising columns Of this paper.
An old established journal, whose experience is
invaluable, undertakes this advice to readers, and
we prefer to adopt its Words: "Readers Of news
papers who habitually omit to read the advertise
nents are unwittingly losing some Of the most in
teresting portions, If the paper is stupid, the
chances are that the advertisements are not more
So: if is bright its advertising columns probably
possess real interest. For in the first place, these
columns are. filed by scores of writer's each pre-
sentinc in his own vein subject Of vital interest
to himself, and compelled to seek brevisy, and
mint while the so-called reading matter is pre-
nared bv o comparatively small number of men,
who do not always believe what they write, much
less feel keen interest in its acceptabiity, and do
not always aim at brcvity, bat sometimes are-in-
tentionally prolix. In the next place, the adver-
tise1nents really represent wider range Of human
onerations than does the ordinary grade Of news
notb;np could be duller than many kilograms, and
nothing brighter than many advertisements" 81
There are two classes benefited by Advertising
the advertisers themselves and those who make it
rule 10 give. them attention. The first by at
tracing attention to their object, and the latter oy
being made acquainted with all that is transpiring
in the business world In these times, it is abso-
utely essential for the public to Keep on the alert
In every respect, andwe know of NO more efectual
mode than by reading all the advertisements.
