Is THE WAR OvER?-A stranger just
having arrived in the United States, and
not posted as to our relations, would sup
pose from reading the Marysville Appeal
that we were in state of civil warfare
that the country was divided by two par
ties, the one loyal, the other rebel.-aSac
Reporter.
If man should awake from ten years
slumber, and should read only the Reporter
he would never know anything about the
treason ofthe Democratic party. He would
think there had been little riot down
along the border The record of the war.
and the treachery and infdelity of northern
Democrats can never be forgotten Talk
about "peace" as much as you please, the
damnable spots are indelible Arnold be-
trayed the patriots of '76' nearly hundred
years ago. Who has forgotten that treason?
And how insignificant his crime to that of
the northern man who gave sympathy and
aid to armed rebels at the door of the Fed
eral Capitol Don't talk such twaddling
stuff to men who know your record Go
and honey fuggle with the men you laugh
ed with during the war at Union defeats
and the slaughter of Union soldiers The
slaughter Of your own Pennsylvania broth
ers, where, ghosts should haunt you in
sleep at the dead hour of night If this is
semi-rebel State-made so by immigra-
ton from the south since the war-loyalty
has not yet surrendered to disloyalty
Time has soitened the asperities against
the Southerners, who precipitated and par
ticipated in the rebellion, but treason is
still odious Northern dough faces are still
despised. What is written upon the heart
by the blood of our fathers and sons can
not be forgotten at the next election for
constable. MarysoiUe Appeal

SOUTH FoRK-We are informed that
the San Francisco parties alluded to last
week have agreed to erect quartz mill at
Ludwig's Ranch, provided the South Fork
Ledge owners will obigate themselves to
donate the builders a certain number of
tuns Of quartz. 1t is thought that the
proposition will be complied with and that
the mill machinery will be put up in short
order A little capital, muscle, and good
machinery would soon demonstrate tia
the South Fork ledges are the most exten-
sive and valuable in the State. Professor
Whitney's head was level when he said
Shasta was the richest mineral county in
the State, and the time is not distant when
the fact will be fully demonstrated.

SUCCEss.-The Tom Thumb exhibition
on the 24th was a success, about three hun.
dred nd seventy-ive tickets being sold
The General and Commodore visited the
COURIER office and read the type in the
firms as readily as regular journeymen
printers. Like Barnum and all other
live business men they believe in the use
of printers ink, and the Commodore re-
marked that he could easily pick out the
live and liberal business men and mechan-
les of Shasta by looking over the list of
advertisers. These celebrities are small in
stature but they have the brains to under
stand facts which many larger persons
seemingly fail to comprehend-that adver-
t;sing is one of the most important aids to
success.

THE WORD "SELAH."-This is an I'M
translated Hebrew word, occurring fire.
quently in the Psalms. Its meaning
can only be coDjectured. Most Jewish
commentators give to it the meaning OF
externally" forever" Some writer's
suppose it to be musical note, indicat-
ing a change of tone, or equivalent to
the word "repeat," or signifying silence,
or requiring an elevation of the voice.
Some suppose it to be an actual appeal
to Jehovah, as Clear jehovah" 9th
ers regard it as indicating special de-
gree of Importance in the text with
" hich it is connected, and as calling
particular attention to it. Whatever
may have been its sense, the word seems
how to be animportant, as it may be
taken away from all the places where
it is found, without interrupting the
meaning of the Psalm.

Dr.TH OF GENERAL FRANK z. PfIR-
poNr.-A telegram from New Orleans
to the Pittsburgh Commercial of yester-
dav. since confirmed, announced the
death in the former city of General Ftp.
Peirpoint, of Richie county, formerly
Adiutant General of this State, and
we'll known to all our citizens. His re-
mains were to leave New Orleans We'd
nesday evening.
General Peirpoint left here few
weeks ago for the South, we believe
with the intention of extending his
trip to Cuba, in the hope that a warm
climate might be found beneficial to bis
health, which had been undermined py
that terrible malady, consumption.
Shortly after his arrival in New Orleans
intelligence of an unfavorable charas-
ter was received by his friends here.
His disease had been making rapid pro-
gress, and but little hope of his recovery
was then entertained. From that time
he has been gradually sinking, and on
Wednesday, 9th inst, he departed this
life.
General Peirpoint had served with
distinction in the Union army during
the late war. He was attached to the
18th West Virginia regiment, in which
he held the rank of Major. After leav-
ing the service he held the position OF
Adjutant General of this State, place
which he filled with marked ability and
great credit to himself. Being still a
very young man, he studied the pro-
fession of law, thoroughly mastered
the science of his chosen vocation, and
abandoning public life, established HIM
self in practice at Harrisville, Richie
county, of this State. Although not a
politician in the usual acceptation OF
the term, General Peirpoint occupied
in the Republican party, with which he
acted, that prominent place and welded
that marked influence to which his
ability, character and culture entitled
him.
He was a young man of rare promise.
His superior intellectual endowments,
popular manners and sterling integri-
ty gave assurance of brilliant future
had his life been spared. But under
the disp ensation of an inscrutable Prov
idenoe, he has been called away. His
State loses what she can lily spare, one
of the very best of that class of young
men of which he was representative;
society will miss the moral worth and
kindly influence of his life, and his
friends and family will bear into the
future the memory of loss, that even
the general sympathy felt for the be-
reaved will not suffice wholly to con.
sole. .

SMALL. POx IMPORTATION.-We see by
the December report of the Cincinnati
Board of Health, that ont of some five
hundred deaths in that city during last
month, one hundred and forty-five were
from smallpox. The fact that we are
in daily communication with that city
renders the danger of infection by no
means slight. For this reason, the ac-

city, will be appreciated by the public

the many good things from Dickens
pen: "The first external revelation of
the DRY ROT in men is a tendency to
lurk and lounge, to be at street corners
without Ineligible reason; to be going
anywhere when met; to be about many
places rather than any; to do nothing
tangible, but to have an intention of
performing number of tangible du-
ties tomorrow or the day after"
