LET HIM COVE observe that Radi-
cal papers are announcing that Hon. Writ
Pen1egast is pledging the support of the
Democratic party to the Cincinnati nomi-
nees. 1t is the hight of impudence in the
Hon. Writ Pendegast to pledge the Dem.
ocratic party to anything in advance of the
action of its accredited convention. If he
desires, as an individual, to abandon the
organization. be has right to do so, and
the sooner he goes the better.-Santa Rosa
Democrat.
This Pendegast is the gassy State Sena-
tor, who, last winter, did everything in his
power to force the no-fence law upon all the
counties of the State, despite the protests
of the people Of the mountain countless
He is said to have Congressional aspirations,
and we advise settlers to remember his
name and be sure to scratch it off of their
ticket if they ever discover it thereon

aULTRAMoNTANE."- The term "uitra
montape" is much used in books and news
papers, and but little understood. 1t il
one Of those words which, from represent
ing locality, has come to represent 8
religious belief and political party. VI
tramontane literally means beyond the
mountains When used as political term
it refers to Italy and the political and
religious tenets of the Church of Rome.
Ultramontanism is belief in the unbound
ed supremacy of the Pope and the union
sof the Church with the State. Repre-.
of these principles, in whatever
nation of Europe they are found, are called
ultramontanes. In Spain, in France, in
Germany aud Austria the ultramontane
party has been strong element in the. .di-
rection of. public affairs. ::

From SODA SPRINes.-Washington
Bailey, of Lower Soda Springs, sends, us
the following items under date of the 11th :
A tragedy occurred at Strawberry Valley
on the 9th. One Oliver Duffy, stole a
horse in Yreka from man by the name of
Strawser and saddle from Robert Hopper
living eight miles this side of Yreka
Deputy Sheriff Skinner, and Strawser,
went in persuit of the thief and overhauled
him at Strawberry Valley. Duffy refused
to surrender and made an effort to escape,
when Skinner shot him, and he tumbled of
the stolen horse, and died before he could
be taken into Yreka for surgical aid.
Teaming is active on the road, many Of
the teams being from Scott Valley and
Rogue River Valley. The down stages are
loaded with passengers, and those bound
north are often almost loaded down with
mail matter and passenger room is limited
The weather has been unusually cold for
this time of year, and about all my fruit is
killed by frost.
Fishing is improving. Last week, at
leasure times, caught seventy-fve trout
which would average pound each. Our
mutual friend, Captain George Myres, Of
Butteville, passed by yesterday from the
Sacramento Valley, with large drove Of
fat cattle-the same band he drove down
last winter. He started to take them tc
the San Francisco market last winter, but
was detained on the way by high water
until the price of beef fell SO low that he
determined not to SELL His expenses or
the trip amount to over two thousand
dollars.
Four or five men are mining on Sods
Greek and are doing very well, but they
have failed to make any big strikes.

Next to Minister Bancroft's fondness
for horse-hesh is his penchant for firta-
tion, and his sprightly youth of seventy
two really thinks no damsel can resist his
destinations. A good story is told of his
weakness on this subject. He was prom
enading one evening on the verandah o.
the Ocean House, at Newport, with gay
New York belle, not yet out of her teens.
In course of conversation she addressed
her companion as "Mr. Bancroft. -
+" Now, really, my dear Miss c." said
the ancient beau, you must not call me
that-call me George" A few moments
afterwards they returned to the drawing
room and mingled with the throng, when,
to the amazement and horror of our am
bassador, the mischieyous girl exclaimed,
loud enough for the whole company to
hear, =" George, have dropped my glove
please go and look for it," Bancroft
went, but did not return.

LINcoLN's DREAM.-The President
remarked that news would come soon
and come favorably, he had no doubt,
for he had last night his usual dream
which had preceded nearly every inn
portant event of the war. / INQUIRED
the particulars of this remarkable dream.
He said it was in my Department. re-
lated to the water; that he seemed to be
in singular and indescribable vessel
but always the same, and that he was
moving with great rapidity toward a
dark and indefinite shore that he had
had this singular dream preceding the
firing on Sumter, the battles of Bull
Run, Antietam, Gettysburg, Stone River,
Ficksburg, Wilmington, etc. Gen.
Grant remarked, with some emphasis
and asperity, that Stone River was no
victory-that few such victories would
have ruined the country; for he knew
of no important results from it. The
PRESIDENT SAID perhaps he should not al
together agree with him, but whatever
might be the facts, his singular dream
preceded that fight. Victory did not
always follow his dream, but the event
and results were important. He had no
doubt that battle had taken place or
was about being fought, "and Johnston
will be beaten, for / had this strange
dream again last night. 1t must relate
to Sherman my thoughts are in that
direction, and i know of no other very
important event which is likely just now
to occur" Great events did indeed fol-
low. Within few hours the good and
gentle as well as truly great man who
narrated his dream, was assassinated, and
:he murder which closed forever bis
earthly career affected for years, and per-
haps forever, the welfare of his country

for Allan Farewell, and the landlord had

poor man, and he had asked the gentle.
man.
DO you know him, sir ?"
al think / knew him once. Was he
in the army?"
Yes, sir. He was through the whole
of it."
Aye" continued the stranger, al
knew him we'll. He was one of the
bravest of the brave; and he once saved
my life. At Antietam my regiment held
an exposed position under charge of
the enemy. l was shot down with ball
through my thigh. Our men were fore.
ed to retreat. The enemy were pouring
down with triumphant yell. Allan Far
we'll saw me where l lay. unable to rise.
He rushed forward and caught me up
l bade him leave me and save himself; !;
but ne would not. In his strong arms he
bore me from before the foe. The bull
lets flew around us like hail, but he did
not falter. With prompt and cool de-
cision he found cover, and finally land
ed me safely under the care of our own
surgeons. Surely I owe that man some
thing. Will you direct me to his abode ?"
And this was the man who now stood
in the humble cot, and whom Nancy
Farewell beheld upon arising from her
prayerful kneeling.
FAREWELL" said the visitor advanc-
ing step.
The sick man looked up, and, and pres
emily his worn face cleaned.
Colonel Douglas p he cried. He
fairly started to his feet, but the effort
was too much for him, and he sank back
with sharp gasp of pain.
AYE, my brave old comrade," return

and taking both the invalid's hands. at

ing for you. Cheer up, my boy. You
bore me once through great peril, from
death to life. Let me now bear you-if
not from death to life, at least from dark
ness to light.
Nancy!" cried Allan, as soon as
he could speak, the tears coursing down
his sunken cheeks, it is my old Colonel.
God bless him p
The prayer was answered, and the
light had come. From his ample means
Colonel Douglas rendered a generous
due to the brave soldier, and did not
leave him until the darkness wa all gone
and the light had come sure and lasting.
When Nancy Farewell had told to me
her story, she added, with strong empha-
sis /:
" 1t seems to me that our laws are
hardly just. Many poor man, true
hearted and brave, though not crippled
in body, has yet come to want through
his absence from home and business in
the war. Would it be asking too much
of our lawmakers to so amend the stat
utes that towns may be their own judges
in this matter and if they have within
their limits either soldiers who fought
honorably in the war, or the widows and
orphans of such, reduced to want, that
they may be allowed to extend Christian
and fraternal help to such waits of the
Grand Old Army without branding them
at the same time as paupers? Would it
no be right and just !"
From my heart l answered her,
