California "sOme Pumpkins.

We always liked California-her soft eli
mate and rich soil; her cattle and horses +;
her rocks, raYines, big trees, and waterfalls
Her gold is rich; her silver is bright, and
her grain is good. Now that we Of the
East are about to become near neighbors
with her of the West we are ready to sing
praises to her mountains, and to her men,
women, and children. Why not ?
There, roses bloom in the open air at all
seasons grapes, oranges, figs, and olives
grow in profusion, and all the products of
the temperate zone are raised in crops
scarcely paralleled elsewhere. The Sierra
Nevada contains some of the finest scenery
in the world, and the admirers Of the Alps
will soon be rushing westward to behold
Mount Shasta II 40 feet high and tower
ing 1000 feet above surrounding peaks,
making as striking an object as the Matter
horn at Lermatt, which is about the same
latitude and rises but 1000 feet above the
range aboutit But in these American Alps,
Mount Whitney equals in height Mount
Blanc, lifting itself $4,000 feet, while it is
surrounded by one hundred peaks, all above
1900! And what can Europe show by
the side Of the Yo Semitic Valley, with its
perpendicular walls of 4,400 feet2 In this
grand range are the deposits of gold which
have already yielded $85000O, 900. But
gold is not now the chief product Of Cali
fornia, the yield being at present but S25,-
100000 per year, which was equalcd in
value last year, by the wheat crop, the ex;
ported surplus of which amounted to SI3,-
100000! The wool clip, too, amounted to
100000 lbs Mining is no longer the sole
or characteristic occupation, but agriculture
and manufactures receive equal attention,
and the mining itselfis carried on in a fixed,
scientific manner,Lso that the State has now
a permanent population, and in two years
past has added twenty per cent to its taxa
bic property. IN educational and religious
respects similar progress is making There
are 238 newspapers and periodicals pub
lished in the State, of which twenty-eight
are issued daily, and seven are in foreign
languages, one being in Chinese and one in
Russian. San Francisco has now, including
a transient population always large, I33, 900
inhabitants
Chicago is no longer on the borders Of the
West She must look out for her laurels
Alaska is thawiug, China and Japan are

REPUDIATION
What Win be Done if Grant and CoIfax
are Elected.

The Cincinnati Record, of recent date,
thus sums up the burthens that must be
borne if Seymour and Blair are defeated:
If the radical party succeeds at the COM
ing election we shall have the following re-
suits
/ The bonded debt viii be paid in gold,
instead of greenbacks, and 100000, 600
will thus be added to our Indebtedness.
2 The debt viii become permanent in
stltutlon, and every fifteen years we shall
pay the immense principal in interest alone,
in gold, leaving the principal untouched.
3. $2,5OO,OUO,O0O, which ought to be en-
ployed in building houses boats, railroads,
and put IN fOundries and factories, where it
would give millions of people employment
will continue to be locked up in bonds,
where it will afford no remuneration to any
but the holder.
4. This immense sum, one fifth Of all the
property In the country, will continue to be
exempted from all State ard local taxation
for generations to come, and the burdens 1t
ought to bear win be transferred to the rest
Of the people.
5. We shall continue to take up the debt
illegal tenders) which bears no interest, and
add to the debt which does bear interest
and is also free from taxation.
b. We shall, every year, pay to the Ma
tiOnal Banks S24, 100000 in gold, for fur
nishing the people a currency which the
government could give them in legal tend
eFs, without costing a cent
Z. Money viii be scarcer, as the bond
holders desire that the greenbacks should
be called in, so that they can get their pay
IN gold Money being scarce, prices will be
lower, and employment more unremunera-
tive taxes will be higher, and the times be
harder upon all but the bondholders and
the banker.
s. The bondholder will receive one hun
dred cents on the dollar for what only cost
him forty cents on the dollar, besides obtain
ing about fifteen per cent. interest on his
investment for five years, together with en-
tire exemption from all State and local tax
alton.
9. Negro supremacy will be continued
upon the South, at the point of the bayonet,
seven or eight States will be controlled by
negroes, who are in the majority, and ne
grOes will be elected to Congress and fill
the various State offices, legislative and ju-
dicial
10. The Southern whites viii emigrate in
large numbers rather than be ruled by ne
grOes, and we shall have south of the Ten
nessee a new Africa or Hayti as political
partner in the Union
II. Trade with free negro States amounts
to nothing, and from it we of the North and
West will derive little satisfaction.
II. The Freedmen's Bureau will be main
tanned at frightful cost in the South, and
the negro who Is unwilling to work will be
maintained, as now, at the government ex-
pense.
l3. A large standing army viii be main
tanned to keep the people in subsection, and
to pay it, in addition to the interest upon
the public debt, viii require that stamp tax
es, taxes upon business in every shape and
form, shall be collected from an impover-
ished people

a Fearful Tragedy of Six Acts in
Four Years.

The Knoxville Press and Herald of a
late date furnishes the following:
Ia 1864 an old and highly esteemed citi-
zen Of Russelville, East Tennessee-Mr
Cain--was killed by a young Federal sol
dier-a citizen Of the same county, named
Bewley. A short time afterward Bewley
was killed by one of the sons of old man
Cain. Buta short time was left for young
Cain to live He fell a victim to the mur-
derOus hand Of a friend of Bewleys, Bill
Sizemore, who shortly after the killing of
young Cain completed the list of his mur-
deTs by brutally numbering Lieutenant
Thurman, of Hawkins county. Sizemore
did not long live to gloat over his deeds of
blood. The avenger was on his path, and in
a very short time SizemOre was sent to eter-
nifty by a bullet from the pistol of l. Z.
Willis. Willis is now murdered.
On Sunday evening last Mr.. I. G. Willis,
who, twill be remembered, killed the noto-
rious Bill SizemOre, about year ago in
Hawkins county, was himself murdered on
Clinch, in said county, by man named
Burton, betW cen whom and Burton there
had been an old grudge. The full particu-
lars of the murder are not given. Willis
was shot first in the side. The wound not
producing instant death, he asked that he
might be permitted to see his wife, but Bur
ton did not spare him. He then shot him in
the head, killing him instantly. Willis did
not fire a shot. The shooting was done
while both were on horseback

WHAT II TIE PROSPECT BE CLOUDED ?

Oh, what if the prospect be clouded,
And what if the sunlight be fed
The bright himself may be shrouded,
And the bright crown torn from his head.
But he yields never long to the rig0r
OF the tempest that beats on his form
And he comes forth anon fall of vigor
More glorious on account Of the storm.
From the sun let the soul take its moral,
Nor shrink from the battle Of life;
Near the cypress grows ever the laurel,
And we pluck as we please from the strife.
Though the foe presses fierce with his Iegions,
And ye stoop for the hour to his will,
Keep but firm in the turbulent regions,
And the triumph insures to you still.

For SHASE.-The Memphis Bulletin, the
first paper in Tennessee that hoisted the
name of Andrew johnson for the Vice Presi-
deney, in 1864, as Is well known, has gone
over to the Illegal constitution numbering
party. In It's issue Of the 8th, we find
labored defense Of the bloody programe Of
the radical party in Arkansas. Commenting
u@n remarks made by the appeal touching
the 5000 army guns lately landed at Mem
phis, and which were destined for the
leaguers in Arkansas, the Bulletin says:
" Wo, wo whole cup of wo, full to the
brim of disaster and despair and utter
death; awaits these thrice-damned traitors
who are arming again for the work Of
slaughter Behind the loyal men of Arkan-
sas stands the whole power Of the Republic
Let them face It who dare"
Gee, gee, whole pipe of gee, full to the
bung of discomforture to the helIhounds Of
iniquitY who are striving to intimidate the
crushed people Of the South. 0 yes; its
all right when base and designing white men
combine to arm negroes against unprotected
white men, women and children From the
Memphis Bulletin we expected better
teachings It's all wrong when the Anglo
Saxon blood ceases to freeze under the chill
ing winds of adversely and the mean, das-
tardly conduct Of unconscionable scoundreIs,
who would butcher the innocent, outrage
the sacred sanctuary of home and crush out
manhood itself for the sake Of temporary
Office and few miserable rags! For shame,
that this State should contain any thing so
debased as to justify the muEderORs designs
of cold-blooded murderersl susg 2.

LOOK AT THIs-The Washington CORES
pondent of the New York Citizen, has COM
piled, after careful research, a list of Gen
eral officers distinguished in the Union army
during the late war, who support Seymour
and Blair Out of the list he has selected
the following hundred. The &c Boys in Blue
who composed the armies of Potomac, Cum
berland, Georgia, Tennessee-from the
North, East and West-wiH readily recog-
nize many Of their distinguished and faith
full Generals. The military record of these
is clear and above suspicion. The archives
of the War Department, or Judge Advocate
Generals Office, contain no imputation upon
their bravery or vaior. They were intrepid
in the field, as they are firm and resoIute
now in their efforts to stem the torrent of
radical misruIe and Jaeobin corruption:
