FKyHE citizens and inhabitants of Litchfeld Coun- A ty are hereby particularly and respectfully mo- ted that the new County Map for said County, that has been in progress for some time past, is now in- tended to be brought out without further delay and at early date is compatible with correctness. The delay heretofore will in no wise affect the Map, as everything is now being revised, changes and improvements noted and everything made to appear on the Map as it is in 1S59

 Every Road, Railroad, location of Churches School Mills, &c., will appear on the Map. Also, location of Dwellings and names of Property Holders gener- ally, and extra plans of all the Villages

 This Map will be all important to Property Hold ers and particularly to those dealing in Real Estate as glance at the Map will show the exact location in each and every Town throughout the County.

Agents are now soliciting additional subscribers in the different Towns, and from the success and pat ronage that they have received SO far warrants the belief that the undertaking is duly yappreciateA

 The Map will he neatly finished with m ornamen- tai Border of Views of Buildings and as a limited numoer only can be taken at any price, those who are desirous ot having View of their Buildings en- graved and put on the Map will please contract with the Agent when in their Town

HE SUNDAY QuEsTIoN.-By refer
ererce to the Council Proceedings it will be
seen that the ball was put in motion by
Alderman Haviland. At the last meeting of
the Council, "to prevent the unlawful as
semblage on the Sabbath day at dance
houses, beer houses, grog shops. drinking
saloons" DC, in accordance with the ordi>
nsnces of the city.


When this resolution was read the auan-
Diary into which some of the Republicans
were thrown was apparent Some of them
felt in duty bound to vote for the passage
of the resolution, while at the same time
they inwardly prayed that the cup might
be permitted to pass their lips The Coun>
Gil Immediately assumed shape. Alderman
Ramming very promptly meved that the
resolution be laid on the table, This
brought no relief to the ones in trouble
To vote for tsbling the resolution would be
virtually to vote against it. The vote was
taken. all the aldermen present voting in
the negative. excepting Messrs. Rsmming
and Andressen. What nextf Mr.. Ram
ming moved to postpone it indefinitely
Still no relief for the afflicted. To vote 70,
the motion would be to openly sanction
Sabbath breaking. The Council was IL
great agony but temporary relief was ad-
ministered by Aid. Holmes, who took pity
on the distressed condition OF HE colleagues.
He moved to give them two weeks grace
or until the next regular meeting. which
was caug tup - eagerly as lame man
would grab bottle Of Flagg's Good Sama-
ritan. and went through like hot cakes.-
The City Marshal don't like the position It
will place him in either. John has some
aspirations for the Office Of Sheriff, and h. q
10 afraid that If he is forced into this sortie
upon the dance houses and drinking -.
looms, that his show for success will vanish
into thin air.


So the matter now ha ngs. Between this
time and the next session of the Council
there will be some tall fighting among the
American Republican dsmagogues and the
Germans who are in favor Of Sunday Beer
and Sunday dancing. We should not won
der if some of the Aldermen were absent ct
the next meeting Of the Council.

YOUTHFUL VILLAiNs.-A conspiracy
has recently been discovered in Port Byron,
which, when ferreted out. will probably
implicats the children of some Of the most
respectable families of that village. 1t
appears that number Of young men had
formed q secret society. which had for its
object the robbing of stores, hous IS and
citizens. and to accomplish their end, they
were bound to commit murder, II necessary.
A bold act led to the detection Of o. Of
their number, who turned traitor and dis
closed the whole scheme Active measures
were Immediately taken TO arrest the mem
bers of this youthful band Of scsmps. which
was partially successful. Three or four
were taken and confined in jail, but the
larger portion of them escaped to the
woods. where they are still running at
large


We have often heard that Port Byron
was hard town. but We had no idea that
it was the head quarters Of such scamps as

If that rule were applied to the Gazette

NO CREVASSE AT SAUVES YET.


The city was full Of rumors and alarms yesterday,
concerning reported break in the levee at the Sauve
plantation, above Carrollton.


The rumors were unfounded, and the alarms false.
They doubtless originated, though, in visit which
Mr. Trudeau and others of the Sauve vicinity yester
day paid the Mayor for the purpose of procuring the
ctys aid to stop crevasse which is threatened.


1t appears that the new levee at Sauve's built on
the site Of the great crevasse of 1s49 has for
time past been wearing away and becoming weak,
from the fierce eddy which washes it and the water
has oozed through it to some extent. The only
means adopted of late to strengthen the levee and
prevent it from being undermined, has been the
sinking Of gunny bags filed with sand and earth
1t is now found that such material is of actual
avail. The dirt mets out of the bags, leaving them
almost empty and sometimes entirely so as numbers
of the bags have risen empty to the surface of the eddy
into which they thrown 1t is well settled that
the eyee is wearing away and that unless effective
measures of prevention be taken, crevasse, and a
most disastrous one to this city, will certainly take
place.


Mayor Stith, upon consultation with competent
advisers yesterday took to avert the threat
ened calamity. He ordered the purchase Of Is 900
gunny bags and 10000 feet of plank, and the en-
ployment of seventyve aborers, for the purpose of
strengthening the levee at Sauves the bags to be
filled with gravel, obtainabe somewhere up in Mis-
sissippi, on the Jackson Railroad. Mr.. Calhoun,
President Of the Railroad Company, placed locomo-
tive and freight train at the disposal of the Mayor
and promised to render such other aid as might be
required in the event of disaster the railroad be-
ing menaced as we'll as the city by the impending
danger.


Yesterday afternoon the gunny bags and lumber
were purchased, and the laborers secured thirty.
three of the latter being taken from the Work House
The men and materials were last evening booked for
departure in this mornings early train.


The superintendent of the work is assigned to
our friend Col. Poindexter whose sagacity, energy
and experience, will doubtless enable him to do
everything as it should be done.

OREGON House, Aug. 9th 1859.


EDITOR NATIONAL DEMOCRAT AS prom
ised to keep you posted in this section occa-
sionally in political matters, l will endeavor
to do so in my feeble way. Since my last,
the boys have been among us, giving us the
good news from different portions of the
county. The opposition make their appear
ance but seldom had Il sight of b. Pat
Hugg this morning, but he left as fast as his
conveyance could carry him; as though all
the Douglas men in this precinct were after
him with a halter. If Pat electioneers all
over the county in this manner, his election
is sure-"in a horn" 1t has been said that
Pat is a miner, and his patriotic proPensities
should be rewarded by a seat-not in the
Assembly 1t is also said, that Pat Is from
Pcsey County, Indiana, and use to run with
exc Governor johnson, in that State That
will also enti.le him to a seat-in bis cabin.
He is known to be man of great aspera-
tions but, as for brilliancy, or brains, we
have no vouchers. Pat, believe, is an eX.
Door.keeper of the California Assembly, and
while in that position, he hauled off his coat
and rolled up his sleeves to log-roll a bill
through the lower House. This, l believe,
is one of his strong points in electioneeLing,
thereby showing his fine qualities for the
position he is aspiring to. l DO not know of
anything very bad about Pat, such as steal


ing chickens, or melons, or anything of that
character. but | want to ask Pat a question.
Did you, or did you not, rob hens-nest at
Camptonville, not long since, belonging to
other parties, and if SO, was you looking for
chickens at the same time? Pat, do not
accuse you of this, but have heard it, and
l want to know if it is so. The people of
Yuba county do not like to vote for man
who will rob hen roosts. You might think
Pat was an Irishman by the name, but be-


lieve he is not think he is from the State
of Maryland, and can trace the descendants
OF his family to woman Now, in order to
find out the qualities of Pat, you have only
to reverse the thing, commencing at the wo-
man and follow up until you arrive at the
third Assemblyman on that ticket, and in
place of an lrishman-as you would suppose
by the name-you will find Adm me
if will tell what Mr.. Editor, l do not
mean to east a slur on the Irish people, by
saying that Pat Hugg was not an Irishman,
but could trace his family to a woman, far
from it, | am a decendent of Erin myself
only wanted to show that Pat had mother,
and she was woman. People, sometimes,

STATE LINE.-We call attention to the ad-
vertisement of the State Line Telegraph
Company, in another column, wherein they
announce a reduction of prices We are glad
that the Telegraph Companies have come to
their senses, and concluded to put telegraph
ing at something like reasonable rates. The
prices which we have been in the habit of
paying heretofore for newspaper dispatches
from San Francisco and Sacramento have
been outrageous, and had we not been deter
mined at all sacrifices to give the news we
would not have taken them at all Even at
present rates, the outlay will be no small one,
considering the frequency of the overland
and ocean mails But ii will not require the
expenditure of fortune every month, as
heretofore.

1t is supposed that these thieves have a
rendezvous in the brushwood on the opposite
side of the Yuba river from this city, where
they conceal their stolen prey during the day
and run it off at night Horses have been
seen ted in these thickets without any person
being near them.-Erpress.


The Express makes the above observations,
in connection with statement that horse
thieves are around. 1t may be true enough
that there are horse.thieves around, but the
fact that horses have been seen hitehed in
the thickets near town rs v,,ere bugbear.-
The police have long been aware that horses
have been hitched in the thickets, but on in
quiry have ascertained that they were put
there by their owners, visiting the town, be-
cause the localities were cool, nice places for
the animals to stand in during the day

The Lecompton papers and the Lecompton
orators have all taken ground, emphatieally
and unequivocally, in favor of the Cass doe
trine that military service can be claimed of
a naturalized American citizen, if he return 10
the place of his birth. They have not only
asserted the doctrine but have gone on, at
great length, to fortify it with pretended
precedent and authority, and have advanced
so far that it would seem an utter impossi-
bility for them to recede. Having gone thus
far, the news contained in a brief dispatch
from Washington, to the effect that Mr.. Blu
chanan has,-"Old Buck" like, backed out
from the responsibility of his Secretarys po-
sition, and taken the ground in favor of the
American doctrine of the equal rights of for
eign born citizens with the natives of the
country, has fallen like Gombshell into their
lick splitting and sycophantic ranks They
are very anxious to take the back track, but.
knowing that telegraphic dispatches, on State
matters, are quite uncertain, they prefer to
wait the arrival of full particulars, before
they proceed to the mean and sneaking busi-
ness of crawfishing from their present predica'
ment. 1t may be that it will turn out to be
untrue that Mr.. Buchanan has concluded to
leave Mr. Cass in the lurch, on this question.
If so, these miserable time servers will stick
to their present position. If not, they WI
"wheel about, turn about, and do jiS so, in
order to accommodate themselves to the wish.
es of their masters, and switch their tails in
thankful acknowledgment of the crumbs
which fall from those masters tables. We
preGict, and we ask our readers to mark the
prediction, that the Express which has so
boldly sustained the Cass doctrine, will, if
the dispatch in question prove true, either
sustain Mr.. Buchanan or maintain logged
we might say canihe-silence on the subject
At any rate, it will not dare to reassert its
former opinions on the question Such is the
character of that timeserving sheet. We
will venture TO say, now, that it is afraid to
say whether it sustans Mr.. Cass or Mr. Blu
chanan, provided the dispatch be correct 1t
does not dare to say whether it is going to
stick to its assertion that an American citizen
owes military duty to foreign government
or whether it is going to turn itself wrong
side outward and assert the contrary.


We will try the experiment. Mr.. Express,
do you believe that a naturalized American
citizen owes military service to the country
in which he is born under the conscription
laws of the same? You have asserted that
you do But will you reassert it? No, you
dare not. You are afraid to exercise your
own free will and judgment. You are wait
ing to see what "our noble President" has to
say about it. When he turns the crank, you
will endeavor to give some music Oh, pitt

Boy -MEN.--When we see bad children, we
know where the blame rests. 1t is a sad truth
that there are no boys nowadays in our country
all are little men, because parents permit them
do as they please, scarcely ever attempting to
control their actions. Instead of keeping them
under proper restraint, and endeavoring to rear
them up to be respectable men, they pet and hu-
NOR them in all their whims! instead of inculca-
ting and enforcing modesty and good manners,
they encourage forwardness, boldness and imper-
tinence and thus are their children in a fair way
to become pests to society. II parents do not
give heed to these things in time, every county
